SOBRE A RÁDIO
The comfort of the saints have in sacred ordinances, is not so much about Bethel, the house of God, from El-bethel, the God of the house. Ordinances are empty things, if we do not fulfill God in them. There is Jacob enterró Débora, Rebeca's housekeeper. He died, many mourned. Old servants in a family, who have been in their time faithful and useful, should be respected. God appeared to Jacob. The pact with him was renewed. I am the Almighty God, God all sufficient, able to make good the promise at his due time, and to support thee and provide for thee in the half hour. There are two things that are promised; that he is to be the father of a great nation, and that he is to be the owner of a good land. These two promises had a spiritual significance, which Jacob had some notion of, although not as clear and distinct as we now have. Cristo is the promised seed, and heaven is the promised land; the former is the foundation, and the latter the chief cornerstone, of all the favors of God.
