LESSON FOR DECEMBER 26
JEHOVAH'S GRACIOUS PROMISES
TO ISRAEL (REVIEW).
LESSON TKXT-lIosea 14.
OOLDEN TEXT-Jchovah la merciful
unil Krucloua, Blow to anger, nnd abundant
Jn loving kti.dncas.-I'Ba. 103:8 It V.
Tho burden of punishment descend
d upon Israel, not bocauso of tho
vindlctlvo charactor ot Jehovah, but
bocauso of tho persistent pursuit of
.sin on the part of tho nation.
Tho lessons ot tho past quarter ex
-tend from tho latter days ot Elijah,
About DOC I). C to tho fall and cap
tivity of Israol (tho northorn king
-dom) I). C. 722 (Doochor), a period or
180 years. Soma contond that tho les
son for November 14, Daniel at tho
King's Court, is chronologically tho
last and ought to havo been put at
tho end of tho sorics. During tho past
quarter wo havo studlod about six
kings, Ahab, Joash, Nobuclmdnozznr,
the king of Nineveh, Uzzlnh and Ho-iihea-
also six prophets, Elijah, Eli
sun, Daniel, Jonah, Amos and Hosca;
and ono Boldlor, Nnaman.
A good method ot review would bo
to have assigned to different scholars
or classes each of tho foregoing per
sonages and to glvo a report of his
chief characteristics. Material for
such a revlow is easily accessible An
other method of rovlcw would bo to
take up the Iosboiib serially and in
connection with each read somo ap
propriate Scrlpturo verses that will
servo to omphaslzo or to illustrate
tho chief fact of each lesson.
Lesson I. Tho weak King Ahaz
(strong in his pcrvorslty) is easily
persuaded to do evil in order to grati
fy hl covetousnoss. Elijah nt God's
command goes to meet Ahab who
cries out, "Hast thou found mo, O
my enemy?" In reply Elijah delivers
Clod's word; that word to us is found
in Ex. 2C:17. (Lot each Scrlpturo ref
erence be read In full.)
Lesson II. Tho veteran champion
Elijah is about to go homo and his
moro youthful follower, Ellshn, has
ono chief dcslro (Bee II Kings 2:9),
which pcralstontly followed Is abund
antly rowurded. Tho lesson for us Is
found in tho master's prayer, John
14:16.
Lesson III. The stricken soldier,
Nnamnn, at a child's suggestion, ap
peals to God's prophet, Elisha, for
healing. Ho is directed how ho may
bo cured and after somo hesitation
returns homo cleansed. Tho lesson
for us Is that of being faithful amid
life's experiences and of doing and
living for othors (see also Romans
32-20, 21.)
Lesson IV. Tho servant of Ellsha
Is very much excited. King and ennip
nro in despnlr, yet tho prophet Is not
disturbed. Why? Lot us read II
Kings 0-17. Itomomber that Jesus,
tho muster ot men, refused to avail
himself of like angelic assistance In
hlr great bnttlo concornlng sin (See
Matt. 2G:G3). Chrlstaulty is a religion
ol lovo, not of force.
Lesson V. Tho faithful priest pre
serves tho rightful king Joash, and
makes n covonnnt between him and
the Lord, viz., that prince, priest nnd
pcoplo "should bo tho Lord's pcoplo"
UI Kings 11:17). Through tho mer
its ot our high priest tbero has been
made a better, even an everlasting
covenant (Hob. 13:20, 21).
Lesson VI. Again rofers to tho good
king, Joash. Tho neglected tomple Is
restored and refurnished through the
liberality of tho people. This tomple
is a typo of our bodies, which are
spiritual tomploa (Eph. 2:22), and the
lesson for us is not only tho care of
tho body, but ot liberality towards tho
work and worship of God's house.
Lesson VII. This is tho lesson
which is chronologically out of order,
out is used for its temperance applica
tion. Daniel, the clean youth, staked
hlB life and position upon obeying the
word of God (Dan. 1:8) Tho le&son
for us Is tho exhortation of tho apos
tle Paul (Eph. GT13-17, seo also I Pet.
6:8).
Lesson VIII to the foreign mission
ary lesson. Jonah's life story 1b not
a flattorlng ono, yet when ho faithful
ly proclaimed God's word It wrought
a marvelous transformation in great
and wicked Nlnovoh. (Read carefully
Matt. 10:10 and Isa. 55:10, 11). Wo
are to herald, witness to the truth
and leavo tho resulta with God.
Lesson IX presents Amos, tho stur
dy prophet of civic and moral right
eousness, tho great mosscngor ot tho
"Tightness" of things (Amos 5:11).
The gist of this lesson for us will ho
found In tho words ot Jesus (Matt.
6:33).
Lesson X. Uzzlah Is that king who
could not withstand prosperity and
who, in the development ol his prldo
(II Chrou. 26:5, 16), assumed to dis
obey tlio word ot God.
Lesson XI. Enter lloseu. Let the
entire hcIiooI stnto tho message ot tho
prophet to tho pcoplo of Israel, "1 will
heal their backsliding. 1 will lovo
them freely" (Hosca 14:4). Then let
all rocito tho "Uttlo gospel" (John
3:16) "For God so loved the world
that ho gavo bis only begotten Hon
that whosoever bellovcth In htm
should not polish, but havo everlast
ing lifo."
