5. Gather my saints together unto me. Separate
the precious from the vile. All are not saints who seem to be so—a severance
must be made. Let all who profess to be saints hear the word which will search
and try the whole, that the false may be convicted and the true revealed. Those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice. The covenant was ratified
by the slaying of victims, the cutting and dividing of offerings; this the
righteous have done by accepting with true faith the great propitiatory
sacrifice, and this the pretenders have done in merely outward form. Those who
have really ratified the covenant by faith in the Lord Jesus will be attested
before all worlds as the objects of distinguishing grace, while those who have
done so in outward form will learn that outward sacrifices are all in vain.
