A PERIODICAL FOR YOUNG AND OLD

THE CONFESSION OF FAITH ARTICLE VI

(Continued)

In our last article we commenced with a brief description of the apocryphal books in order to better acquaint you with their contents.

In the Book Tobias is written the account of the downfall of Israel (II Kings 17). The book is a fictitious history of a Jew named Tobias of the tribe of Naphtali, who had been taken into custody by Shalmaneser, king of Assyria. Although there were many mishaps in the life of Tobias, he was gladdened by the marriage of his son and by the curing of his blindness. There are many errors in this book - geographical, historical, arithmetical, and in computing the time of events. Superstition, self-righteousness and lies are encouraged, and it states that our good works and prayers are meritorious. It was probably written in the second century before Christ by a Palestinian Jew.

The Book of Judith is a history of a period in the Babylonian era, when Israel was in exile. It tells of a campaign by one of the generals of Nebuchadnezzar’s army against the Jews and how he besieged the city Bethulia. It was through the courage and slyness of a widow named Judith that the city was saved. The author warns the people against apostasy and idolatry, and to trust in the Lord. But the morality of this book is completely against God’s Word. Its history is no more than a myth and Judith is a sly dog, trying to make us believe that God blesses treachery. The book must also have been written about 200 B.C.

The Book of Wisdom begins by warning judges to be honest. Then the author, who calls himself Solomon, warns the people who have forgotten the law of the Lord and have oppressed the righteous. He praises wisdom and its fruits, but also tells of the consequences of foolishness. The purpose of the author is to bring the people to the obedience of God’s Commandments and to warn against idolatry. The author was probably a proud Jew of the city of Alexandria, because his wisdom is similar to the philosophy of that city.

The Book of Jesus Syrach is also called Ecclesiasticus, and it was written about 280 B.C. The author mentions that he lived in Jerusalem. He gave many proverbs which show practical, worldly wisdom. Later in his book he describes the works of the Lord in creation and in His care for Israel; he closes with thanksgiving. The wisdom which is praised in this book is worldly and devilish, and we miss the true practical wisdom taught by the administration of the Spirit.

The name of the Book of Baruch gives the impression that it is written by Baruch, the helper and writer for Jeremiah. It is specifically for the Jews in Babylon and concludes with promises of deliverance. However, this book is doctrinally against God’s Word. Rome acknowledges it as a canonical book.

The Appendix To The Book of Esther is an arbitrary extension of the canonical book Ester, and must fill in the imaginary gaps in the original. Often it is in contradiction with the book Esther.

The Song Of The Three Children In The Furnace is an extension of Daniel 3, giving the prayer of Azariah in the furnace and afterwards the songs of these three young men.

The History Of Susannah is an appendix to the book Daniel, and tells of the saving of the beautiful Susannah, who is accused of adultery. By Daniel’s wisdom her innocence is proved and the guilt of the two wicked judges becomes public knowledge.

The History Of Bell And The Dragon is also an extension of the book Daniel, and describes how Daniel discovers the deceit committed by the priests with Bell, their idol. Later Daniel kills the dragon, he is cast into the den of lions, and is saved by the Lord in a wonderful way. It is full of contradictions with God’s Word.

The Prayer Of Manasses speaks of the time that Manasses was in prison in Babylon and is a continuation of II Chronicles 13: 33. The prayer sounds good until we arrive at verse 8, where it states that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were no sinners. This is against the Truth, which teaches us clearly that all men are sinners, except the Lord Jesus.

Last of all we find listed The Two Books Of The Maccabees. The name Maccabee is derived from the nickname of Judas, the son of the priest Mattathias, who delivered Israel from their enemies. The book describes the rule of Alexander the Great and the wickedness of Antiochus Epiphanes (175-164 B.C.). Judas resisted and began a war, which ended in complete victory over the Syrians and to the High Priesthood of John Hyrcanus. It covers the years 175 to 135 B.C. and has some historical value. The second book tells about the desecration of the temple by Seleucus Philopator, and ends with the killing of Nicanor in 161 B.C. The second book contradicts the first, and has many historical shortcomings. It has Darius dying in three different ways. Some believe that Flavius Josephus was the author in the first century before Christ.

In the beginning the Synod of Dort refused to include these books in the Bible; finally it was decided to give them a place at the back of the Bible and not among the canonical books. A serious warning must be given in the cover letter explaining that these books were not trustworthy and not canonical. At the Synods of Laodicea in 364 and of Constantinople in 681, the apocryphal books were also rejected; however, the church of Rome decided the opposite at the Synod of Trent (1545–1563).

In the Word of God we can find everything necessary to salvation. May we use it continually as our guide in our life.

BIBLE QUIZ

Dear Boys and Girls,

This month I had some help with the quiz from Janet and Jenny Sweetman, who sent me one on occupations in the Bible. Thank you, Janet and Jenny. I have changed it somewhat so that in each question you will find an occupation. There are even more to be found in the Bible, and perhaps some of you might make a list of the other occupations you can find.

Occupations remind us of the words “work” and “labour”, and these words are perhaps not always so well liked by us. However, as we study our Bibles, we will find that the Lord Himself mentioned them in the 4th. commandment. Solomon instructed us to observe the ants, which are busy during the summer months preparing for the winter when they cannot find food. The apostle Paul wrote, “If any would not work, neither should they eat.” Even before the fall Adam was placed in the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. After he had sinned, the ground was cursed, so that he would have to contend with thorns and thistles, and eat his bread in the sweat of his brow. Work remains a necessary thing for our own good, for the benefit of our neighbors, and to the honor of God Who has commanded it. Especially today, let us be willing workers, taking heed to the words of Solomon, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.”

The first letters of our answers will spell out five words spoken by the Lord on Mount Sinai. In one of the parables spoken by the Lord Jesus, he told of a _____ who sent out to sow his seed.

In Genesis we read of Tubalcain, who was an_____ of every artificer in brass and iron.

The letter “x”. (No question for this one.)

Demetrius, a silversmith, made shrines for_____.

The king found Daniel and his friends ten times better in all matters of wisdom than all the magicians and_____.

Solomon had linen _____ brought out of Egypt, and the king’s merchants received it at a price.

Cornelius was instructed to send for Peter, who was lodging with one_____ a tanner.

Abel was a keeper of The Lord Jesus was born in the days of_____ the king.

The repairing of the wall in Jerusalem was also done by Hananiah the son of one of the _____ (Nehemiah)

To the Colossians Paul sent greetings from_____ , the beloved physician.

Paul abode with Priscilla and Acquilla, being of the same craft; for by their occupation they were_____.

Cain was a_____ of the ground.

After the flood, Noah began to be an_____.

Who was the governor in the house of Ahab?

In Nehemiah we also read of _____ the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths.

The Lord Jesus likened the kingdom of heaven unto a householder, which went out in the morning to hire ._____________ into his vineyard.

Saul loved David greatly, and he became his_____.

Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, the chief of the butlers, and the chief of the _____.

When Elijah found Elisha, he was plowing with twelve yoke of _____ before him.

King Ahaz sent to _____ the priest the fashion and pattern of an altar which he had seen in Damascus.

Nicodemus was a_____ of the Jews.

And now well try to answer the letters which we have received -

ANN-MARLENE VANDER MEULEN - Do you have quite a few attending the Bible school, Ann? The text which you spoke at the program mentioned “Thou”, “Him”, and “He”. Do you know whom the text is speaking about? Do they call you Ann, or Ann Mariene?

ANITA SCHOUTEN - You had a long trip to make to Holland, Anita, since you are almost on the opposite side of the world. Whether you went east or west would not make much difference in distance. Or aren’t you quite on the opposite side? If you were only two, you won’t remember it.

JOLEEN DEN HOED - You can read about the Youth Day Conferences in this issue, Joleen. We have had some tornado warnings, but there has not been any extensive damage in our area this year. The Bible tells us that the Lord “causeth His wind to blow”, and in such storms the wind destroys everything in its path.

JOHN STAPEL - Was that the first time you were in Michigan, John? We hope you will be able to come again. We think of our nation as a large and powerful country, but the Bible teaches us that in the Lord’s sight the nations are as a drop of a bucket.

BETH SCHELLING - How far is it to Colorado from your home, Beth? There are quite a few making trips again this summer. How is your aunt now? We hope she is feeling better. The result of sin coming into the world can be seen in all the sicknesses and troubles around us, but we don’t often think of it in that way.

KATHLEEN DEN HOED - It is always nice to meet those to whom you have been writing, Kathleen. I am always amazed how much change there is in the boys and girls in a matter of a few years, especially when you haven’t seen them during that time.

LISA NEELS - Congratulations with the new baby brother, Lisa. I imagine your uncle is also pleased with his namesake. Are you taking good care of him? We have been having nice summer weather here lately. Last night we had a much needed rain.

JACKIE VAN HOEPEN - What are you doing during the summer months, Jackie? From the letters it seems all the boys and girls are keeping quite busy, so I imagine you are too. Boys and girls with nothing to do all day get into mischief, they say. Or don’t you believe that?

BRENDA KAY SCHELLING - Is there a large rock at Castle Rock, Colorado, Brenda? There is also a Castle Rock in the northern part of Michigan. You climb quite a few steps to get to the top, and can see quite a distance on a clear day.

GAIL DEN HOED - Your cousin wrote that she liked Iowa, Gail. Were you also sad to see her go again? I suppose it is now your turn to visit her home in Washington. It is not across the ocean, but yet quite a distance from your house to her house.

RUTH ANN VAN DALEN - We haven’t seen you in Michigan for several years, Ruth Ann. Are you still doing some travelling every summer? I guess it is true that we haven’t been in New Jersey either too recently. Give our greetings to your parents.

JOHNNY JONKMAN - It was nice to hear from you again, Johnny. Have you ever been in Michigan before? Perhaps we will meet you if you are in Kalamazoo. We are always glad to meet our young friends. Are you anxious for school again?

WILLIE JONKMAN - Yes, I know Karel, Willie. Do you have quite a few boys and girls in your Bible class? How glad we should be that we are able to attend a Bible Class, because so many boys and girls have never heard about the Bible.

And again to all the boys and girls, our thanks for your answers to the quiz. We hope that you are having a nice summer, and that we may hear from all of you again next month. Wherever we go and whatever we do, may we remember that we need the Lord’s care and protection.

With love,

Your friend,

“Uncle Garret”

NOT HID!

How few among the children of men live under a realization of the fact that God is omniscient, that is, all-knowing. Do you, I wonder? We fear not! For how differently would the most of you order your footsteps if you did. Then, my young friends, let us pause and think about this most solemn matter.

King David, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote with a most beautiful solemnity in Psalm 139 about this very matter: “0 Lord, Thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou under-standest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it altogether.” These words from the pen of David are as applicable to all of us today, as they were to King David and his contemporaries, for ‘God is the same, yesterday, today, and for ever.”

Oh, my young friends, the Lord knows you. He knows your every thought, word and action. There is nothing whatsoever that has taken place, or will yet take place in your life, that is unknown to God; as it is written in Hebrews 4:13, “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.”

How solemn is our position! We are sinful creatures who have been going astray from the very womb, and our iniquities are all well-known to God, Who is angr with sinners every day, and Who says, “Though hand join in hanc the wicked shall not go unpunished.”

We, who are thoroughly known to the Most High, must all appear before the judgment seat. In that solemn day how can we stand before God against Whom we have sinned, ways and times without number? If we are there as guilty sinners, we shall forever be cast into the flames of eternity, but if we are there as pardoned sinners we shall have the unspeakable privilege of being for evermore citizens of the New Jerusalem. What an eternal separation is then to be made between the guilty and the pardoned! We are all guilty sinners by nature, but, blessed be the Name of the Lord, He opened up a way whereby sinners can be cleansed from all their sins and thus become heirs of eternal life. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life,” and “him that cometh unto Me I will in no wise cast out.” My young friends, “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.” (Isaiah 55:6).

We would seek to stress again the fact that God knows you — “His eyes are upon the ways of man and He seeth all his goings.” (Job 34:21). Seek to bear in mind wherever you are and whatever you are doing, that God sees you. Perhaps you are kept from wrongdoing at times because the eye of your parents or one of your teachers is upon you, but were you beyond their gaze then you would not hesitate to carry out your wrong intentions. But stop! Thou God seest me! The eye of the Lord is upon you at all times. He is omniscient and omnipresent. You can never find a place into which God sees not. The Psalmist says:

“From Thy Spirit whither shall I go

or from Thy presence fly?

Ascend I heaven, lo, Thou art there;

there if in hell lie.

Yea, darkness hideth not from Thee,

but night doth shine as day;

To Thee darkness and the light are both alike alway.”

My young friends, “Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it,” for “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry,” but “The face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” (Psalm 34:14,15,16).

- Young People’s Magazine

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoeverthings are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8

THE ALL-SEEING GOD

How few among the children of men live under a realization of the fact that God is omniscient, that is, all-knowing. Do you, I wonder? We fear not! For how differently would the most of you order your footsteps if you did. Then, my young friends, let us pause and think about this most solemn matter.

King David, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote with a most beautiful solemnity in Psalm 139 about this very matter: “O Lord, Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it altogether.” Those words from the pen of David are as applicable to all of us today as they were to King David and his fellowmen, for, “God is the same, yesterday, today, and for ever.”

Oh, my young friends, the Lord knows you. He knows your every thought, word and action. There is nothing whatsoever that has happened, or will yet take place in your life, that is unknown to God; as it is written in Hebrews 4:13, “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.”

How solemn is our position! We are sinful creatures who have been going astray from the very womb, and our iniquities are all well-known to God, Who is angry with sinners every day, and Who says, “though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished.”

“The wicked shall perish,

The nations shall fall,

Forgetting their God,

Who is God over all.”

We, who are thoroughly known to the Most High, must all appear before the Judgment Seat. In that solemn day, how can we stand before God against Whom we have sinned ways and times without number? If we are there as guilty sinners, we shall forever be cast into the flames of an undone eternity, but if we are there as pardoned sinners we shall have the unspeakable privilege of being for evermore citizens of the New Jerusalem. What an eternal separation is then to be made between the guilty and the pardoned! We are all guilty sinners by nature, but, blessed be the Name of the Lord, He opened up a way whereby sinners can be cleansed from all their sins and thus become heirs of eternal life. Jesus says, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”, and “him that cometh unto Me I will in no wise cast out.” My young friends, “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.” (Isaiah 55:6.)

We would seek to stress again the fact that God knows you -”His eyes are upon the ways of man and He seeth all his goings.” (Job 34:21). Seek to bear in mind wherever you are and whatever you are doing, that God sees you. Perhaps you are kept from wrongdoing at times because the eye of an earthly creature, as one of your parents or one of your teachers, is upon you, but were you beyond their gaze, then you would not hesitate to carry out your wrong intentions. But stop! Thou God seest me! The eye of the Lord is upon you at all times. He is omniscient and omnipresent. You can never find a place into which God sees not.

God sees you on His Holy Day. He sees you when you are neglecting duty, when you are pursuing the pleasures of the world, when you are following the multitude to do evil, or when you are seeking to do that which is pleasing in His sight. He knows the way you take.

My young friends, “Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it,” for “the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous and His ears are open unto their cry”, but “the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.”

(Young People’s Magazine)

THE VANITY OF LIFE

The evils that beset our path,
Who can prevent or cure?
We stand upon the brink of death,
When most we seem secure.

If we today sweet peace possess,
It soon may be withdrawn;
Some change may plunge us in distress
Before tomorrow’s dawn.

Disease and pain invade our health,
And find an easy prey;
And oft, when least expected, wealth
Takes wings and flies away.

A fever or a blow can shake
Our wisdom’s boasted rule,
And of the brightest genius make
A madman or a fool.

The gourds, from which we look for fruit,
Produce us only pain;
A worm unseen attacks the root,
And all our hopes are vain.

I pity those who seek no more
Than such a world can give;
Wretched they are, and blind, and poor,
And dying while they live.

Since sin has filled the earth with woes,
And creatures fade and die;
Lord, wean our hearts from things below,
And fix our hopes on high.

John Newton

IT’S VERY HARD

“It’s very hard to have nothing to eat but porridge, when others have every sort of dainty,” muttered Charlie as he sat with his wooden bowl before him.

“It’s very hard to have to get up so early on these bitter cold mornings and work hard all day, when others can enjoy themselves without an hour of labor!”

“It’s very hard to have to trudge along through the snow, while others roll about in their coaches!”

“It’s a great blessing,” said his grandmother, as she sat at her knitting. “It’s a great blessing to have food when so many are hungry; to have a roof over one’s head, when so many are homeless; it’s a great blessing to have sight, and hearing, and strength for daily labor, when so many are blind, deaf and suffering!”

“Why, grandmother, you seem to think that nothing is hard,” said the boy, still in a grumbling tone.

“No, Charlie, there is one thing that I think is very hard.”

“What’s that?” cried Charlie, who thought that at last his grandmother had found cause for complaint.

“Why, boy, I think that heart is very hard that is not thankful for so many blessings!”

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Proverbs 30:5
