[Manna - August 9]
If the light that is in thee be [come] darkness, how great is that darkness! Matthew 6:23
THE "harvest" is a time for winnowing the "wheat"—a sifting, a separating time, and it is for each of us
to prove our characters: "Having done all, stand!"
The tests of this "harvest" must be like those of the
Jewish or typical "harvest."
One of them is the cross,
another is the presence of Christ, another is humility,
another is love.
The Jews were reproved because
they "knew not the time of their visitation."
The
matter is doubly distressing for those who have once
seen the light of Present Truth, and afterward
go into the "outer darkness."
It implies unfaithfulness. Z.'04-297 R3437:4
