Page 102 of 1472 Thessalonians 51:2
@@@^From this bulwark of evidence in proof of the cleansing of the church on earth@9 @7and of the books in heaven, towers forth the impregnable truth that the living who, continuing faithful to the end, retain their names in the Book of Life, shall, in this time of separation, receive God’s mark, or seal, of deliverance, while those who do not shall be left without it, to perish in their sins. And, correspondingly, the dead whose names are retained after the judgment, in the book of the dead, shall come forth in the first resurrection (Rev. 20:6), while those who were unfaithful in life wait until after the thousand years, to come forth with all the wicked in the second resurrection (Rev. 20:5).
2 Thessalonians 53:2
@@@^The concentrated light now shining forth from the prophecies herein viewed in their correlative connection, shows that both the sanctuary in heaven and the one on earth were polluted, not by the political and military conquests of heathen powers, but rather, first, by some of its converts’ not enduring (Matt. 10:22); second by Satan’s bringing in the tares while men slept (Matt. 13:25); and third, by the exceeding great horn’s casting out the “daily,” treading down the truth, and bringing in the abomination that maketh desolate: thus involving both the earthly and the heavenly sanctuaries.
2 Thessalonians 54:2
@@@^The seed-sower, the seed, the field, the season of cultivation and growing, and the season of harvest must together be perfectly calculated to illustrate the spiritual kingdom; otherwise the representation can only lead into error instead of into truth.
2 Thessalonians 58:3
@@@^Denouncing those today responsible for this failure to protect the church from fellowshipping virtually anyone who professes an interest and shows a desire to be fellowshipped, though such a one neither be grounded in the truth nor bringing forth “fruits meet for repentance,” the Spirit of Prophecy declares: “Too much hasty work is done in adding names to the church roll. Serious defects are seen in the characters of some who join the church. Those who admit them say, We will first get them into the church, and then reform them. But this is a mistake. The very first work to be done is the work of reform . . . @9Do not@7 allow them to unite with God’s people in church relationship until they have decided evidences that the Spirit of God is working upon their hearts. Many whose names are registered on the church books are not Christians.” — @9The Review and Herald@7, May 21, 1901.@9 @7
2 Thessalonians 65:2
@@@^Consider, now, with what exact fidelity to the natural harvest the Master has stated the truths of the spiritual harvest: “Let both grow together until the harvest,” He says: “and @9in the time @7of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into My barn.” Matt. 13:30.@9 @7
2 Thessalonians 69:1
@@@^The @9slain@7 of the Lord, in this scripture are those who profess to be in the faith, who claim sanctification and purification, but who do so on the merits of their own righteousness, — of “themselves,” — not on the merits of Christ’s righteousness. They walk, that is, in their own ways, not in obedience to the truth. Wrapped about with these spurious habiliments of sanctification and purification, they pose as reformers, yet all the while indulging in the abominations of the heathen; doing so in secret — “behind one tree,” or, as the margin says, following in the lead “one after another.” And the food (swine’s flesh, the mouse, and the abomination, — whatever that may be wherever these paganistic Christians may be, — foods used respectively only in certain parts of the world, among different classes and races) with which they are gratifying their appetites, shows that the consequent destruction among these self-sanctified and self-purified ones is in the church world-wide.@9 @7
2 Thessalonians 69:2
@@@^That it was not among the Gentiles, who knew not of the truth of God and of His great power is clearly shown by the Lord’s words: “I will send those @9that escape of them@7 unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan [the Gentile nations today as called by their ancient names], to the isles afar off, that have not heard My fame, @9neither have seen My glory@7; and @9they shall @7declare My glory among the Gentiles.” Isa. 66:19.@9 @7
2 Thessalonians 75:2
@@@^Illustrating our salvation in completeness, the harvest rites of the ceremonial system must therefore corroborate both the testimonies of the prophets and the parables concerning the harvest, for all are inextricably bound up together. The ceremonies of the first and the second fruits of grain must accordingly unfold the truth concerning the first and second fruits of humanity. In the Levitical law we read:@9 @7
2 Thessalonians 78:2
@@@^It will be observed that the command regarding observance of the seventh-day Sabbath, as well as that regarding observance of the yearly ceremonial feasts, is recorded in the twenty-third chapter of Leviticus, verse 3. Care, therefore, must be exercised not to confuse the one truth with the other.@9 @7
2 Thessalonians 83:1
@@@^The apostolic Pentecost in providing the power for the ingathering of second fruits up to the beginning of the judgment of those who are now dead, foretokened the final Pentecost which is yet future, and which is to bring the power for the ingathering of the second fruits of the living, those who shall never die. In other words, those who died prior to the final Pentecost are to be judged by the light of truth reflected through the power of the apostolic Pentecost.
2 Thessalonians 84:4
@@@^The 40 days of Christ’s personal presence on earth after His resurrection was the time in which the first fruits were gathered in, for after His ascension the Christians closeted themselves in the upper room and did not emerge to preach the truth until the Pentecost. The 120 who received the power of the Spirit on the very day the wave-loaves were offered, were therefore the antitypical wave-loaves, signifying the completeness of the first-fruit harvest. Subsequently came the second fruits of the dead, in the period of which the tares were commingled with the wheat.
2 Thessalonians 89:3
@@@^As number is the natural mode of time equations, the Scriptures often therefore employ it to reveal the length of time from one Biblical event to another. Thus, time from the waving of the sheaf of first fruits to the Pentecost is equated by multiplying the number of days (7) allotted to the first of the harvest ceremonies, the feast of unleavened bread, by the number of weeks (7) to the Pentecost, which is 7x7, or 49 days. Similarly, the duration from one Jubilee to another is found by multiplying the number of years making a sabbatical year (7) by 7, sabbatical years, giving 7x7, or 49 years. Very obviously, then, the Scriptures commonly employ the process of multiplication in Their revealing of the truth.
2 Thessalonians 90:1
@@@^The fact that Christ after the resurrection remained with His disciples just 40 days, not more or less, is no mere happenstance lightly to be brushed aside. Obviously an integral part of the over-all pattern of revealed truth, it is to be reckoned with accordingly. And since its modality is numerical, the entire subject involved must be explored in number, and the results equated in numerical values.
2 Thessalonians 92:1
@@@^It was to Christ in both of His forms that John alluded in his declarations: “That which was @9from the beginning@7, which we have @9heard@7, which we have @9seen@7 with our eyes, which we have @9looked@7 upon, and our hands have @9handled@7, of the Word of life.” 1 John 1:1. “And the @9Word@7 was made @9flesh@7,” he further declares, “and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14.
2 Thessalonians 93:3
@@@^Let the fact be kept well in mind that we are at present exploring number for the truth that Christ is the Saviour of the world before and during Bible times. So obviously our aim is to find, not the number of the saints that Christ is to save, but the number of years He will be a Saviour. Hence, we here remind the reader that the parabolical calls, or messages, of Matthew 20 embrace only a part of church history; specifically, that part from the time that Moses began to write the Bible, from the time of the “Exodus,” to probation’s close. But as Christ is the Redeemer of the world before as well as after the advent of the Bible, the equation under discussion must consequently embrace the entire span of probationary time since the day Adam sinned. This demands therefore that the number of probationary time, 600, the multiplicand, be multiplied by a multiplier having universal value, to show that Christ is the only Saviour in all ages.
2 Thessalonians 97:1
@@@^In Peter’s statement, Inspiration records that the same Spirit Who quickened Christ, preached to the antediluvians while they were in prison-in chains of circumstance which in their wickedness and rejection of truth they blindly forged and bound upon themselves, and from which they could find no escape save through the ark that was “a preparing.” And the ark, they would not enter. Thus they were left without hope and without an excuse.
2 Thessalonians 98:4
@@@^Thus struck in the rock of truth forever is the number of the recipients of the great Pentecost just ahead of us, the number of the first fruits of those who are to be translated, 144,000 guileless (Rev. 14:5), “servants of our God.” Rev. 7:3. In the pure and full power of the Spirit, proclaiming the pure and full gospel unto all nations, they “go forth conquering and to conquer” (@9Prophets and Kings@7, p. 725), and “bring all [their] brethren for an offering unto the Lord out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering @9in a clean vessel into house of the Lord@7.” Isa. 66:20. “And then shall the end come.” Matt. 24:14.
2 Thessalonians 103:2
@@@^The most common cause of doctrinal confusion among Bible students lies in their so very frequently failing to view a subject in full perspective from the writer’s point of view, — a failing which results in their seeing it from some foreign standpoint so narrowing their view that instead of gaining the writer’s idea on the subject, they gain a false idea on it. And if the idea be to their liking, they magnify and zealously promote it as truth, whereas if it be not to their liking, they vigorously oppose it, and then lay it to the responsibility of the writer!@9 @7
2 Thessalonians 113:2
@@@^When those who love the truth study any doctrinal subject, they never, in trying to harmonize their private opinions with a scripture in point, leave the scripture so interpreted as to contradict either other portions of the Bible or the position of constituted authority, but rather they forsake their opinions.
2 Thessalonians 113:3
@@@^Having taken a wrong view on the subject of the judgment, some have though unknowingly, tried in reality to change its correct time and true nature, rather than to maintain them. This unwitting endeavor has in turn led them to take wrong views on many other Bible truths. The fact, though, that this great hub-doctrine still remains intact and solid, is unimpeachable evidence that likewise do all its spoke-doctrines.
