A continuation of the controversy

continue to be hardened in sin and still provoke and distress My people who believe in ME and My Gospel, just as the enemies continued to afflict the Jews after they were delivered from the hands of Pharaoh? Did they not meet with many enemies afterward to war with and against? And did they not murmur in their own hearts and bring evil upon their own heads after they were delivered from the land of Egypt? They went on in the wilderness to provoke ME to anger, causing ME to cut them off so they would never possess the land I had promised them, though I gave it to their children.

Here is a shadow of the end, and here is the likeness of My Gospel, which you may now discern. Do those who profess claim to believe in or follow My Gospel act according to My commands? Do they not act like the Jews of old, who disagreed in the wilderness, at discord with one another, and condemning the prophet by whose hands I worked their deliverance?

You may all discern this likeness of the Jews, as the likeness now appears in this nation where My Gospel is made known to everyone. Some thousands have become Arians followers of a theological belief that denied the full divinity of Christ and are like the Jews of old who condemned Moses, saying they did not know what had become of him. When he stayed on the mount away from them, they made gods like golden calves to go before them and placed no trust that they would be delivered by him.

Now, thousands are turned away from believing in ME—that I shall work their deliverance in the end—in exactly the same way the Jews were turned from believing in Moses. And as the contention was among the people concerning Moses, so is the contention among mankind concerning My Gospel, which you may see from the different sects and parties. By some, My death is made of no effect nor of any use to mankind, as they say it was only to save those who were already saved from the foundation of the world. From such
