A Definite Experience.

That passing from one ground of experience to another in the three messages was just as distinct an experience to the believers as the passing of the children of Israel out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, and on by Sinai toward the land of promise. The Lord again, in the advent movement, was leading out a people. From just before 1844, when again “the time of the promise drew nigh,” the Lord set his hand finally to deliver his children from the Egypt of sin, to put his law in their hearts, and to lead them toward the eternal Canaan. No wonder the word came by the spirit of prophecy that not a pin or a block of the three messages should be moved. It was an experience in the fulfilment of prophecy, something actually done, the right thing at the right time. History was there made that can never be unmade.
