precepts of the everlasting God to become an abomination in His sight. In the early days of the Christian era, we read in Matthew 16:6,12, "Then Jesus said unto them. Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees...Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."
For those who have ears to hear the written word of God there is still a clarion call of the eternal God, spoken through generations of prophets, which will bring the hungry backfrom their falling away to His true law and precepts. The prophet Jeremiah said, "Thussaith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, v/here is the good way, and walk therein, andyeshall find rest for yoursouls^ But theysaid. We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying. Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said. We will not hearken" (Jeremiah 6:16,17).
The same prophet, lamenting over the fate of Babylon, cried out warn ingofthe impending judgment for those who would refuse to come out of her: "Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul...We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go
every one into his own country: for herjudgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. The LORD hath brought forth our righteous ness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God" (Jeremiah51:6,9,10). (SeealsoRevelation18:4.)

and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabi tants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee: But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their
groves: For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous,isajealousGod: Lestthoumakeacovenantwiththeinhabitantsof the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; And thou take of their
