of Christian Education, p. 472.) If the ministers will not receive the light, I want to give the people a chance; perhaps they may receive it. . . Formerly you acknowledged that Sister White was right. But somehow it has changed now, and Sister White is different. Just like the Jewish nation. (MS 9, 1888: Through Crisis to Victory, p. 292.) The question comes naturally, Why is the opposition to the 1888 message likened so often to the Jews’ opposition to Christ? (There are actually scores of these statements). We have seen in our study of repentance that the bedrock sin of all mankind is hatred and rejection of Christ, manifested in His crucifixion. Repentance for this sin is where the miracle of the atonement takes place. Our 1888 history illustrates this truth, and the inspired messenger of the Lord was quick to discern its significance. The 1888 Conference was 156
a miniature Calvary. It afforded a public demonstration of the same spirit of unbelief and hatred of God’s righteousness that inspired the Jews to murder the Son of God. This is obvious from the above statements. The spirit that actuated the opposers of the message was not a minor misunderstanding, a temporary underestimate of the importance of a debated doctrine. It was rebellion against God. How Our History Discloses Enmity Against God Bear in mind that these facts in no way diminish the truth that the Seventh-day Adventist church was then and is now the “remnant church.” The brethren who apposed the 1888 message were the true “angel of the church of the Laodiceans,” and God had not cast them off, nor their “children” today. The simple fact is that they (that is “we,” for we all participate together according to the principle of corporate identity) have something to repent about. Our denominational history makes Christ’s call to repent come “alive.” And the only 157
