meat belongeth to <strong>the</strong>m that are of full age, even<br />
those who by reason of use have <strong>the</strong>ir senses<br />
exercised to discern both good and evil" (Hebrews<br />
5:12-14). And <strong>the</strong> epistle goes on to say we need to<br />

foundation of repentance from sins that lead to<br />
death (Hebrews 6:1).<br />
There is no stronger meat in all God's Word<br />
than <strong>the</strong> three angels' messages. Only mature<br />
people who have been weaned will have eyes<br />

with child, and to <strong>the</strong>m that give suck in those<br />
days," was He laying a burden on those who<br />
happened to be pregnant (Mat<strong>the</strong>w 24:19, 20)?<br />
