We must be extremely careful who we "hearken unto" in these last days. The great Bible scholar, E.W. Bullinger, in his Introductory to "How to Enjoy the Bible", pg. 6, American Christian Press, New Knoxville, Ohio, writes the following concerning the subject "hearkening":Seek the life giving truth from His Word (Jn. 6:63)
so that you also may teach it to your seed, your children,
that they may have life (eternal) also.Hosea 9:17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
"When we come to ask ourselves, and say, 'Where did I learn this?' 'How did I get this?' 'Who taught this to me?' it is astonishing to find out how much we have imbibed from man, and from tradition; and not directly and for ourselves, from the Word of God.All that we have learned from our youth up must be tested and proved by the Word of God. Where we find it is true we must learn it over again, from God. And where it will not stand the test of His Word we must be not only content, but thankful to give it up; and receive Divine revelation in the place of man's imagination."
The choice, as it is written, is up to each individual to exercise on his or her own:
Deut. 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
