@@@^“So far as his opportunities extend, every one who has received the light of truth is under the same solemn and fearful responsibility as was the prophet of Israel, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying: ‘Son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at My mouth, and warn them from Me. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.’
1 Thessalonians 40:1
@@@^Though the work, moreover is to have a small hard, mattock-like beginning it will gain speed and will emerge from the mattock stage into the ox-plow stage — the stage which will see all the believers of Present Truth (except the “lesser cattle”) unitedly go forth to dig or plow other “hills” until all the thorns and briers shall be uprooted throughout the land, the ground broken up, and the vineyard restored even beyond its original excellency. Thus reclaimed, it will be a place not only “for the sending forth of oxen,” missionaries, but also for the
1 Thessalonians 40:2
@@@^Both the terms “treading” and “lesser cattle” have two meanings. “Treading” means both to step along and to trample something beneath the feet. “Lesser cattle” means both younger cattle and inferior cattle. Therefore the phrase “for the treading of lesser cattle,” taken in the light of the first meaning, respectively, of each of the two terms, must refer to the children and to those newly come to the truth, who may be staying, “treading,” about the newly digged hills. Taken in the light of the second meaning of each term, it must refer to the pressing or trampling, “treading” to the ground, of all the unconverted who may seek to come into the vineyard. Of this latter class, Zechariah says: “And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.” Zech. 13:3.
1 Thessalonians 43:1
@@@^Have you not yet discovered that, whether it be in ancient or in modern times, all the Bible truths that men have ever learned, have come only through the inspired channel — the Spirit of Prophecy? How, then, my brethren, can you longer refuse this cordial invitation? Come, eat to the full of “butter and honey,” only a taste of which will start you on your way to recovery from your miserable Laodicean condition.
1 Thessalonians 43:2
@@@^Though the church is now “lukewarm” (satisfied) in her “sad deception,” yet if she lets this present opportunity slip from her grasp, the day will come when each member will gnash his teeth in the torment of indescribable sorrow. Yea, and all who deny either the Old or the New Testament Scriptures, or the Spirit of Prophecy, or all three, and who, by remaining in consequent ignorance, comply not with the Truth’s requirements, shall not be “left,” but shall perish.
1 Thessalonians 45:1
@@@^One may say, “Yes, I believe in the Spirit of Prophecy, but not as you do.” Yet if what he believes to be the Spirit of Prophecy does not lead him to “keep the commandments of God” and to know that the testimony of Jesus Christ is the ever-active Spirit of Prophecy (Rev. 12:17; 19:10), then he had better forsake that and accept this, for “he that saith I know Him, and keepeth not @9His commandments@7, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:4. Likewise says the Lord: “Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10. “Blessed are they that @9do His commandments @7that they . . . may enter in through the gates into the city.” Rev. 22:14.
1 Thessalonians 45:2
@@@^If, moreover, what such a one believes to be the Spirit of Prophecy is truly it, then it should have revealed the truths herein unfolded. Thus what he accepts rather than what we accept as the Spirit of Prophecy would have been confirmed and exalted.
1 Thessalonians 49:1
@@@^They have no more refuted her writings than did the Pharisees refute the teachings of Christ. And as Christ’s enemies could not by their criticisms change His character from holy to unholy, neither can Mrs. White’s adversaries make her crooked if she is straight. As the true follower of Christ cannot, however, afford to waste his time in either running down or defending human beings, our sole purpose, therefore, is to vindicate the Truth of God, and to expose the fact that the opposition has done nothing more than to demonstrate
1 Thessalonians 58:1
@@@^Here are the simple facts of these prophetic events, and he who doubts the plain truth of them will later have to confess his mistake, but perhaps to no purpose, for then it may forever too late to profit him, though he confess it “carefully with tears.”
1 Thessalonians 59:2
@@@^The opponents of the truth, ignoring Inspiration and failing to give the matter painstaking thought, were naturally led to reject the doctrine of the 2300 days; first, upon the excuse that William Miller proclaimed the Lord’s coming to earth instead of His coming to judgment; and second, because of being prejudiced against Sister White’s Inspiration. But as Miller’s religious connections were prominent, God could not have consistently left His people to grope and stumble in darkness concerning his work. Good or bad, it, too, like Sister White’s, must be found in the “more sure word of prophecy.” 2 Pet. 1:19. So our attention is now called to
1 Thessalonians 64:2
@@@^John the Baptist preached that Christ was to establish a literal kingdom at His first advent, and though John was mistaken, the Lord said of him: “There hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist.” Matt. 11:11. And in view of the light now shining from the Scripture, anyone can see that those who are continually crying out “Wolf! wolf!” in derision of the 2300-days doctrine, are, wittingly or unwittingly, working against God by attempting to silence His voice. They are doing the bidding of him who is trying to conceal the truth that the next after the Millerite movement must proclaim the gospel
1 Thessalonians 68:3
@@@^Though this engrossing subject is but briefly treated herein, yet for lucidity, harmony, and logic, the truth of it stands peer to any. It gives a prophetic outline of church history from Miller’s time to the present day, showing the opening and closing of each Movement, also its work and destiny: that is, the mistake attending the Millerite Movement (understanding the cleansing of the “sanctuary” to be the of the earth); the limited commission of the Seventh-day Adventist Movement (authorizing it to go, @9not@7 to “@9all@7” nations, but simply to “@9many@7”); its purification (removing the tares from its midst); its being launched as a new, a purified, movement, presenting the church of Christ worthy of His blessed name for the first time since apostolic days. At last a light unto all the world, it proclaims the gospel with a loud cry “for a witness unto all nations:” then comes the finale — the inevitable end (Matt. 24:14).
1 Thessalonians 69:2
@@@^On one hand, the light of Present Truth now enables the eye to see both the work of William Miller and that of Sister White deeply rooted in the “more sure work of prophecy.” On the other hand, it lays open the spiritual poverty and nakedness of their critics. The Lord’s voice is also heard saying against them: “I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.” Jer. 23:21.
1 Thessalonians 70:1
@@@^The eyes of the Lord, piercing everywhere throughout the earth, failed not to foresee these uncalled workers who, notwithstanding His sounding far and near the solemn warning that “the great and dreadful day of the Lord” is here, are in blind defiance trying to out-din the voice of Truth with their mounting cry of “peace and safety.” Let us, my brethren, turn our ears from the multitude of voices devoid of the Holy Spirit, and diligently give heed to
1 Thessalonians 73:2
@@@^Brethren, because the Lord loves you, and because he is loath to make of you a vessel of dishonor, He addresses this tract to you. We, too, are heart-sick that you have, as the Jews of old, deeply involved yourselves in a war against the Spirit of Prophecy — a war which you cannot win. In rejecting heaven-sent messages, in ignoring the wise counsel of the learned Gamaliel (Acts 5:34-39), and in persistently trying to support with scriptures your questionable interpretations of the Bible, as do Sabbath-breakers in evading the Sabbath truth, you are following in a course which, if persisted in will lead you to commit the sin against the Holy Ghost.
1 Thessalonians 74:1
@@@^But though our prayers go out for you, they will not be effective if you continue to withstand the Spirit’s warning injunctions and pleadings as well as your own convictions, and longer refuse or neglect to acquire a full knowledge of the Bible truths for this time.
1 Thessalonians 75:1
@@@^When brought face to face with the truth, some act like men who have lost their reason. As fish jump at bait, they foolishly jump at conclusions. And when they are mercifully freed from the hook and given a chance to live, instead of departing from their greedy, selfish policies, and keeping themselves from being caught again, they rush at another bait, only to find themselves hooked again and again. When they find that they have thus repeatedly brought themselves into disrepute, they even then do not resolve to get right and stay right.
1 Thessalonians 75:2
@@@^Those who get themselves cornered and cut off from every avenue of escape from the truth, instead of surrendering their erroneous ideas, make a desperate effort to dodge out of their plight, through the shift of isolating the scripture: “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.” 1 Cor. 14:34.
1 Thessalonians 78:3
@@@^“They will question and criticize everything that arises in the unfolding of truth, criticize the work and position of others, criticize every branch of the work in which they have not themselves a part. They will feed upon the errors and mistakes and faults of others, ‘until,’ said the angel, ‘the Lord Jesus shall rise up from His mediatorial work in the heavenly sanctuary, and shall clothe Himself with the garments of vengeance, and surprise them at their unholy feast; and they will find themselves unprepared for the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ Their taste has been so perverted that they would be inclined to criticise even the table of the Lord in His Kingdom.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 690.
1 Thessalonians 79:3
@@@^“Behold,” says the Word, “I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” To him shalt thou hearken. “And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.” “Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with His anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue as a devouring fire: and His breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err,” “because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” Mal. 4:5; Isa. 30:25, 27, 28; 2 Thess. 2:10.
