close of time. The record of God's dealings with the wanderers of the desert in all their marchings to and fro, in their exposure to hunger, thirst, and weariness, and in the striking manifestations of His power for their relief, is fraught with warning and instruction for His people in all ages.
Every week during their long sojourn in the wilderness the Israelites witnessed a threefold miracle, designed to impress their minds with the sacredness of the Sabbath: *a double quantity of manna fell on the sixth day, *none on the seventh, *and the portion needed for the Sabbath was preserved sweet and pure, when if any were kept over at any other time it became unfit for use.

To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna. Revelation 2:17
