COMMENTS
1. The Story of the Rechabites
These Rechabites who were origi-
nally the Cananites, a nation who
lived in the days of the prophet
Jeremiah. It was Jeremiah who as-
sembled the Israelites and set wine
before them and they drank wine.
It was the ‘ Rechabites who were
also assembled by Jeremiah whom
the Israelites thought unworthy and
far beneath their level along all
lines. Yet, these Rechabites refused
wine, saying: “We will drink no
wine for Jonadab, the son of Rachab,
our father, commanded us saying:
ye shall drink no wine, neither ye
nor your sons forever, etc." It was
a sad day in the lives of the people
of: God when they allowed the
heathens to be more earnest in the
keeping of the commands of an
