THE TEMPLE BEGUN.
LESSON II, FIRST QUARTER, INTER-
NATIONAL SERIES, JAN. 8.

We need to hear in mind that the key |
to this book seems to be "rhe House Of |
the Lord, mentioned fifty tin,cs. The sec |
ond chapter gives the numbering of the |
nearly 10000 who at this time returned |
to Jerusalem. Verses 81, 62 tell OF some |
whose names could not be found on
the register, and they had to be cast out |
suggesting to us the necessity of having
our names in the Book Of Life duke x, 20;
Rev. Xxx, ~. Verses Gs, GO tell OF those
who offered freely after thet ability, and
is suggestive Of Math. x, s; Acts Xxx, 80; II
Cor. viii, y.
/. "The people gathered themselves to-
gether al one man to Jerusalem" When
in after years the church which is the
temple of God, began to be built at pente-
cost, it is said, They were all with one
accord in one place" (Acts ii, y.
2. And buildcd the altar of the Lord Of
Israel" The patrarchs had no building
called temple or tabernacle, but they had
their affairs and offerings symbols of atone
ment, for without sacrifice sinful man
cannot draw ncsrto God See Lev. xvii, II;
Heb tx, %, as proofs Of The necessity Of the
shedding blood. As to the affairs, see Gen.
viii, 20; xii, I, s; Xiii, 4, 10. 1t is evident
from this verse that these people had NO
doubt as to who wrote Pentateuch. 1t will
be well for us to be like them.
B. And they offered burnt offerings
thereon unto the Lord" This stands first
among all the offerings in the law, and is
the oldest kind mentioned in the Word
dew j, :; Gen. viii, 70; Job /, b. Among
the many offerings OF Lev. to vii this
the first, seems suggestive Of the sacrifice
of Christ as fully meeting all the require
mcnts Of Cod
i. They kept also the feast Of taber-
nacles" The first verse says that it was
in the seventh month that they set up the
altar By referring 10 Lev. xiii, in which is
found Il full account Of all the feasts Of the
Lord, it will be seen at verse % aud on
ward that in this month t. re were three
conventions, trumprts, atonement and
tabernacles, beginning on the LIST, 10th and
ljth days Of the month,
;. And OF every one that willingly of
fercd fIeewiIl Offering unto the Lord"
Tic importance and tho necessity of a will
ing Offering is seen in connect ION with the
building Of the tabernacle and temple Eek.
Xxv, ,, xXNv, 2, q, %, 20; Chron. xxx,
&, 9, ~. " hen any one brought burnt
Offering he vas TO offer it of his own vol
urtary will CIev. i, ~. 1t is written Of
Jesus that He said, My meet IS to do the
will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His
work (Jonn iy I'D. As to His life he said,
Il lay it down CT myself (John X, Isl. As
to ue it j. written, Nv hoSOevcr will, If
any man will" lRev. xxi, II, john vii, II.
g. From the first day OF the seventh
month began they to offer burnt offerings
unto the I.ord.' The outward and visible
national history of Israel began when they
were redeemed from Egypt by the mighty
power Oh "o.! "iu '"e Dio'1 VI 'iio p''SSoN u
