Question: Will anyone be ashamed, or put to shame, from before Him at His coming? (1 John 2:28²⁸And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. (1 John 2:28)). M. C.

Answer: Notice that in 1 John 2:28²⁸And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. (1 John 2:28) and in 2 John 8⁸Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. (2 John 8), it is the teacher who is spoken of, and it is the teacher’s loss that is spoken of. There will be so-called apostles put to shame before the Lord at His coming (2 Cor. 11:13¹³For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. (2 Corinthians 11:13); Rev. 2:2²I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: (Revelation 2:2)). There will be preachers (not Christians) that will be castaways (1 Cor. 9:27; 1²⁷But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. (1 Corinthians 9:27) Cor. 3:17); as builders they will be utterly rejected. If these children did not abide in the Father and in the Son, it proved them to be false—they were not Christians.

Question: Were the commandments equally divided on the tables of stone? O. T.

Answer: The thought connected with two tables of stone is testimony. (Exo. 40:20²⁰And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: (Exodus 40:20); 2 Chron. 5:10¹⁰There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. (2 Chronicles 5:10)).

Question: What does Hebrews 13:8⁸Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8) mean? W. I. C.

Answer: Jesus Christ, the Same, is the title of the unchanging One, I AM, Who ever abides, yesterday and today and forever. The One on whom all creation and redemption rests.

Dispensations change and fresh blessings are unfolded. He is ever the great I AM, “the Same.”

Question: What are the children of Israel a type of? W. I. C.

Answer: Nothing. The things that happened to them were types (1 Cor. 10:11¹¹Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. (1 Corinthians 10:11); see margin), and were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the age are come.
