The Necessity of Afflictions

By John R. MacDuff

.

“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, IF NEED BE, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 1:6, 7

.

What a blessed motto and superscription over the dark lintels of sorrow! — “if need be!” Every arrow from the quiver of God is feathered with it! Write it, child of affliction, over every trial your God sees fit to send!

.

If he calls you down from the sunny mountain-heights to the darksome glades, hear Him saying: “There is a need be!”

.

If he has dashed the cup of earthly prosperity from your lips, curtailed your creature comforts, diminished your “basket and store” — hear Him saying, “There is a need be!”

.

If He has ploughed and furrowed your soul with severe bereavement — extinguished light after light in your dwelling — hear Him thus stilling the tumult of your grief, “There is a need be!”

.

Yes! believe it, there is some profound reason for your trial, which at present may be indiscernible. No furnace will be hotter than He sees to be needed…

THE TWO SISTERS OF EZEKIEL

.

“The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother: And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity. And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.” Ezekiel 23:1-4

.

This story from Ezekiel has had a very great message for God’s people. This story likewise speaks of this Pleiades Constellation. Samaria seems to represent those who claim to have a relationship with God, but simply do not. Jerusalem seems to represent those who are like the Captive Angel, and have a miniscule love for God, but have been carried away captive. God is more upset with Jerusalem (Aholibah), because she should have known better than her totally apostate sister (Aholah)
