Death Of Firstborn

“And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.” Ex. 11:4, 5. “And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle….and there was a great cry in Egypt; For there was not a house where there was not one dead.” Ex. 12:29, 30. {SR1: 96.1}

The firstborn, a symbol of a class of priesthood, a representation of Ezek. 9:6, last part “the ancient men that were before the house.” “From the firstborn the sitteth upon the throne to the firstborn in the dungeon,” symbol of Ezek. 9:6: “Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women:….Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.” “The firstborn of cattle” symbol of Isa. 63:18 and Isa. 64:1; Num. 26:10. {SR1: 96.2}

“In the case of Achan’s sin, God said to Joshua, ‘Neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.’ How does this instance compare with the course pursued by those who will not raise their voice against sin and wrong, but whose sympathies are ever found with those who trouble the camp of Israel with their sins? Said God to Joshua, ‘Thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.’ He pronounced the punishment which would follow the transgression of this covenant….And Joshua, and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent and all that he had; and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. And Joshua said Why hast thou troubled us? The Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.” Volume 3, pages 267-8. {SR1: 96.3}

“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast; it is mine.” Ex. 13:1, 2. A symbol of a new priesthood, and the firstborn of cattle representing a system of support, or maintenance. “Should a case like Achan’s be among us, there are many who would accuse those who might act the part of Joshua in searching out the wrong, of having a wicked, faultfinding spirit. God is not to be trifled with, and His warnings disregarded with impunity by a perverse people.” Volume 3, page 270. {SR1: 97.1} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks Prophet E.G.White the 3^rd message of 3^rd Angel Rev.14:9 & Prophet V.T.Houteff the 4^th message of 4^th Angel Rev.18:1 !
