EXCERPTS FROM "HEALTH LAWS OF MOSES" ---

DR. PAUL DUDLEY WHITE, Boston Heart Specialist stated that:

"It is conceivable that a few years from now, we medical men may repeat to the citizens of the U.S.A., the advice that MOSES was asked by God, to present to the children of Israel three thousand years ago, namely, that you must eat no fat of the ox or the sheep or the goat; you may use it in any other way, but by no means eat it."

DR. DAVID MACHT, authority on animal and drug poisons, discovered:

"There seems to be some scientific basis for the ancient classification of edible and unedible fishes, namely, those which have scales and those which have not." Poisonous extracts from "unclean" fish killed mice and retarded growth of seedlings, which extracts from the "clean" fish did neither,

RUDOLF VIRCHOW, recognized father of Modern Pathology, said:

MOSES was the greatest hygienist the world has ever seen.

THE DARK AGES:

The terrible disease of leprosy in Europe could not be controlled by the medical authorities, and not until the church put into effect the concept found in the LAW OF MOSES, Lev. 13 and 14, was the epidemic brought under control.

WHERE DO

WE FIND

THESE

WONDERFUL

STANDARDS?

"That the obligations of the DECALOGUE might be more FULLY understood and enforced, ADDITIONAL PRECEPTS were given, ILLUSTRATING and APPLYING the PRINCIPLES of the TEN COMMANDMENTS... Unlike the ten commandments, they were delivered privately to Moses... (and) written by Moses in a BOOK... These directions... were only the principles of the ten commandments AMPLIFIED and given in a specific manner, that none need err. They were designed to GUARD the sacredness of the ten precepts..."

– Patriarchs and Prophets, pages 310, 312, 364

God graciously spoke His law and wrote it... on STONE... Christ, to enforce the will of his Father became the author of the statutes and precepts (BOOK) given... Moses... These statutes were explicitly given to GUARD the ten commandments. THEY WERE NOT SHADOWY TYPES TO PASS AWAY WITH THE DEATH OF CHRIST. They were to be binding upon man in EVERY age as long as time should last."

R&H May 6, 1875

"While Moses was in the mount, God presented to him, NOT ONLY the tables of the law (STONE), but ALSO the PLAN OF SALVATION (BOOK)."

P.P. page 330

"And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of THIS LAW IN A BOOK, until they were finished, that Moses commanded the LEVITES, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, Take this BOOK of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a WITNESS against thee. For I know... evil will befall you IN THE LATTER DAYS..." – Deut. 31:24-26, 29

"We are to become familiar with the LEVITICAL LAW in all its bearings... to understand better the rule of faith and PRACTICE..." (Letter 3, 1905) "The GOSPEL is given in precept in LEVITICUS... obedience is required NOW as then." (6 Test. 392) "AGAIN (in the BOOK) the people were reminded of the... Sabbath. YEARLY FEASTS were appointed... THESE LAWS (LEVITICAL) were to be recorded by Moses (in a BOOK), and CAREFULLY TREASURED as the FOUNDATION of the national law, and, WITH the ten precepts which they were given to illustrate, the CONDITION of the fulfillment of God's promises..." (P. P. 311)

YES, DEAR BRETHREN, THE SAME LAW THAT OUTLINED HEALTHFUL LIVING TO THE HEBREWS, ALSO OUTLINED THEIR SYSTEM OF WORSHIP. AND NOW THAT SCIENCE HAS RECOGNIZED THE VALIDITY OF THE HEALTH LAWS OF THE LEVITICAL LAW, IT IS TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO RECOGNIZE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM-OF-WORSHIP OF THE LEVITICAL LAW. YES, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BELIEVED THAT THE LEVITICAL LAW WAS ABOLISHED AT THE CROSS, SCIENCE IS HELPING US TO SEE THAT IT WAS NOT, AND THE HONORABLE THING FOR US TO DO AS WHOLE – BIBLE CHRISTIANS IS TO ADJUST OUR SYSTEM OF WORSHIP TO INCLUDE ALL THE SABBATHS (FEAST DAYS): NOT ONLY THE WEEKLY SABBATH, BUT THE YEARLY SABBATHS AS WELL. LISTEN TO HISTORY'S VOICE --

WHO CHANGED THE WEEKLY FEAST -- the 7th day Sabbath?

"The Catholic Church of its own infallible authority created Sunday a holy day to take the place of the Sabbath of the old law."

Kansas City Catholic, Feb. 9, 1893

WHO CHANGED THE YEARLY FEASTS -- Passover, Pentecost, etc.?

"The new law has its own spirit... and its own FEASTS which have taken the place of those appointed in the law of Moses. If we would know the DAYS to be observed... we must go to the Catholic Church, NOT to the MOSAIC LAW." Signs of the Times, November 4, 1919, "Catholic Catechism."

"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change TIMES (7th day Sabbath, WEEKLY FEAST, and Passover, Pentecost sabbaths, etc., YEARLY FEASTS) and LAWS (the BOOK LAW and the STONE LAW)..." Dan. 7:25.

"FEAST" IN HEBREW MEANS "APPOINTED MEETING"

"In the time of the end, EVERY divine institution is to be restored." P. K. 678

Friend, NOW you see clearly that the pope, not Jesus, changed the YEARLY FEASTS of the Mosaic BOOK LAW. Read all of Lev. 23, Nahum 1:15, Acts 18: 21, 1 Cor. 5:7, 8. "At Philippi Paul tarried to keep the PASSOVER." A.A. 39 Whose FEASTS will you keep? and to whom will you go, the POPE or MOSES?
