Certainty Of the resurrection Of Chris
Is essential to witness for Him.

pride he presumptuously intrudet
into the priests office. As judg
ment God smote him with leprosy
pride goeth before destruction, and I
naughty spirit before a fall"

fulness. Mans supreme need toda!
Is vision Of God.

The one whom God cabs to proclaim
His word should faithfully dischargf

stroy Gods Word by burning 1t. Try
Ing to destroy Godt Word will moi

Casting the prophet into the dungeon
will not turn aside Gods judgments.
