And this means let Bell plead, so we see two names given to Gideon that have contributions to make to the setting of this prophecy. The term let Bell plead takes us to the story of Ahab, Elijah, Jezebel, which has an end of the world application prophetically. We see that the enemies that are raised up against Gideon at this time are the Midianites, the Malachites, and the Children of the East. And we see three enemies in Bible prophecy lifted up in a scenario that's describing the end of the world. We recognize these to be modern Babylon. The enemy is pitched in the valley of Jezreel. And we see that Gideon calls for God's people to come help him, and we see illustrated in this calling the three-one combination, because Gideon in verse 35 of chapter 6 sends messengers to Manasseh, and then it follows by saying he sent also messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali. And here's the three-one combination that invariably pops up in end of the world scenario illustrating the three angels' message followed by the fourth. And then we've seen, among other things, that Gideon's fleece can be understood to represent two worshipers in the temple, Cain and Abel's offering. The publican and throughout scripture, the Lord uses contrasting worshipers to describe those that are professing but are void of the Holy Spirit, and those that truly have an experience with the Holy Spirit. And in this sense, understanding that this story of Gideon is an illustration of Adventism, we can see the story of the fleece also representing the foolish and wise virgins. The foolish virgins destined to not receive the latter rain. The wise virgins destined to be those that receive the latter rain and finish the work. This time we'll take up Judges chapter 7. We'll start with a passage from Signs of the Times, June 2, 1898. The word of God, just as it reads, is the ground of our faith. That word is the sure word of prophecy, and it demands implicit faith from all who claim to believe it. It is authoritative, containing in itself the proof of its divine origin. We have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made note unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life.
