"Judaizing Teachers."

By Epsilon

It would be well for those who use as a sneer the phrase "Judaizing teachers" to consider whether Judaizing teachers, or Romanizing teachers would be the more acceptable to God. To which were committed the oracles of God? To the Jews, or to the Romans? Paul says, to the Jews were committed the oracles of God. Rom. 3:2.

If we should go to church, and hear the preacher say that he had read the book of Revelation many times, and that the people of this age were, by the Spirit of prophecy, warned against Judaism, would not every Bible reader in the house be shocked by such a statement?

Does the Spirit of prophecy warn us against Judaism, or Romanism? We are warned against that mystic Babylon who corrupted the whole earth with her fornications.

We find that the great masses of people of all nations will receive the popular mark of the beast and persecute those who receive the seal of the living God.

The great Prophet says that the true disciples shall be hated by all nations for his name's sake. Matt. 24:9.

Those churches that are popular in the nations, as many of the Protestant churches now are, cannot be included among those that shall be hated by all nations.

"Marvel not my brethren, if the world hate you." 1 John 3:13.

"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." John 15:19 and onward.

In the face of these scriptures, and in the face of the Spirit of prophecy, Protestant churches boast of their popularity.

The Jews received the promises and the covenants. All Gentiles that are saved must be grafted into the Jewish stock. Rom. 11. I hope to pass through one of the twelve gates which have the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. Rev. 21:12. EPSILON.
