@@@^The Seventh-day Adventist church has always taught that the number 666 applies to the leopard-like beast (Rev. 13:1-10). But @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7 teaches that it applies to the two-horned beast (Rev. 13:11). Does not the Spirit of Prophecy plainly tell us that “no line of truth that has made the Seventh-day Adventist people what they are, is to be weakened”?—@9Testimonies@7, Vol. 6, p. 17. And does it not furthermore warn: “Woe to him who shall move a block or stir a pin of” those messages?—@9Early Writings@7, p. 258.
2 Timothy 17:11
@@@^The Spirit of Prophecy does indeed so teach, and to be in harmony one hundred per cent with it on this point as on all others, @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7 has stripped this truth of the rubbish with which men have covered it, and have thus restored it to its primitive luster.
2 Timothy 17:12
@@@^Though the number 666 has admittedly long been applied to the leopard-like beast, the application was not originated by the founders of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, neither was it taught by them in the early days of the movement. Rather, it was brought in from outside and woven into the web of Seventh-day Adventist theology, despite the fact that the Spirit of Truth declared through the founders of the denomination that the number applied to the two-horned beast:
2 Timothy 17:13
@@@^The “beast,” says Elder Geo. W. Holt, writing in the early days of the message, “having seven heads and ten horns is the one referred to; and I think the image, is the beast having ‘two horns like a lamb,’ that ‘spake as a dragon.’ His number is 666.”—@9The Present Truth@7, Vol. 1, No. 8, March, 1850.
2 Timothy 18:2
@@@^Here we have from the mouth of three witnesses absolute proof that the denomination’s present teaching concerning the number 666 was neither originated nor sanctioned by its founding fathers; that, in fact, it was not one of the lines of truth, nor even one of the blocks or pins of the message, which God gave to this people. Moreover, the Bible puts the number on the two-horned beast. Note that all the characteristics which pertain to the ten-horned beast are described in verses 1-10, and that all which pertain to the two-horned beast are described in verses 11-18. As the number closes the description of the two-horned beast, it cannot logically be applied to the ten-horned beast.
2 Timothy 18:3
@@@^This is just one of the many departures from truth, which caused Sister White far back (1882) to cry out: “The church has turned back from following Christ her Leader, and is steadily retreating toward Egypt. Yet few are alarmed, or astonished at their want of spiritual power. Doubt and even disbelief of the testimonies of the Spirit of God is leavening our churches everywhere. Satan would have it thus. Ministers who preach self instead of Christ would have it thus. The testimonies are unread and unappreciated. God has spoken to you. Light has been shining from his word and from the testimonies, and both have been slighted and disregarded. The result is apparent in the lack of purity and devotion and earnest faith among us.”—@9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 217.
2 Timothy 20:7
@@@^The Bible and the books of the Spirit of Prophecy being the sole source of the @9Shepherd’s Rod@7 message, therefore when the @9Rod@7 is taught, the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy are taught. And since none but the Spirit of Truth, who transmitted the mysteries of Inspiration, can interpret them, then those who attempt to teach them without this Inspired interpretational authority, inevitably fall into the forbidden practice of private interpretation (2 Pet. 1:20)—the great evil which has brought Christendom into its present almost-boundless state of schism and consequent confusion, strife, and impotency.
2 Timothy 20:8
@@@^As we dare not follow in such a path, we must therefore, as teachers of @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7 (the official publications of the Davidian S. D. A. Association), teach only in the light of the @9Rod@7 those passages which in one way or another need to be interpreted. Thus only will all Present Truth believers ever become of the same mind, seeing eye to eye and speaking the same things (I Cor. 1:10; 1 Pet. 3:8; Isa. 52:8).
2 Timothy 22:13
@@@^@@Dear..........................:@^Several years ago my parents, who read themselves into @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7 message, mailed two tracts to an older sister, who was to read them and pass them on to me. Before reading them, however, she showed them to some Adventist friends, who took them to Elder...................... to have him determine whether they contained truth or error. She never saw them again, and thus both of us were deprived of the privilege of reading them. In a few weeks, though, my parents came from Montana expressly to bring us the message. During this time, we were all invited to a @9Shepherd’s Rod@7 study to be held in the evening at a friend’s home. Though I did not attend, the other members of my family did, and my mother was so thrilled and overjoyed with the study and the contact with believers of the same faith in a strange city, that she came to my home that same night and aroused me from my rest to tell me the good news.
2 Timothy 23:6
@@@^Delays have lost battles, cost lives, toppled crowns! Will you let neglect turn the battle against you, take your life, and cheat you of the crown laid up for you? A delay in your receiving the latest issues of Present-Truth literature may do it, for these publications contain heaven’s urgent messages to you. You are therefore in the most urgent need of receiving and heeding on time these silent messengers. Be ye not like the five foolish virgins!
2 Timothy 24:5
@@@^Send for our forthcoming tract, @9War-Prophecy Digest@7, and just as soon as it is off the press, we will rush your copy to you. All who do this, will, moreover, be automatically qualified for our War-Analysis Participation. And every participant, irrespective of the correctness of his analysis, will receive a special and valuable memento of Present Truth. Act without delay.
2 Timothy 24:7
@@@^Doubtless, there is seldom a week in which the normally-circumstanced Present Truth believer does not see at least one new S. D. A. face (besides one or more of the old ones) whose name and address he forgets to ask for. Perhaps he instead talks so much that his hearer becomes prejudiced and refuses to give any address. Far more valuable is the service of obtaining this needed information, than debating doctrine.
2 Timothy 24:9
@@@^Few, if any, have exhausted all the possibilities of procuring names and addresses of our brethren who hunger for truth and righteousness. Always keep with you a notebook expressly for this purpose, and use it well! Resolve that 1943 will see you work as never before to get new names and addresses, and to get them meticulously correct.
Titus 11:2
@@@^Section 3. A licensed minister shall be invested with the right to preach and teach the truths the principles, and the lessons set forth in the Scriptures, but not to perform the ministerial duties, services and ceremonies therein set forth, except on occasions such as warrant the Council’s specially authorizing said rights.
Titus 14:1
@@@^As fundamental to their structure of Scripture interpretation, the Davidians hold that “the experiences of Israel were recorded for our instruction” (@9Education@7, p. 50); that indeed “@9all@7 these things happened unto them for ensamples: and...are written for @9our@7 admonition, upon whom the @9ends@7 of the world are come” (1 Cor. 10:11); that, therefore, where there is not a basic type, there can not be and is @9not@7 a basic truth, an antitype; and that, consequently, those who do not “hear...Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” Luke 16:31.
Titus 20:2
@@@^“That this step was in the order of God, is revealed in the immediate results for good that were seen. ‘The word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.’ This ingathering of souls was due both to the greater freedom secured by the apostles, and to the zeal and power shown by the seven deacons. The fact that these brethren had been ordained for the special work of looking after the needs of the poor, did not exclude them from teaching the faith. On the contrary, they were fully qualified to instruct others in the truth, and they engaged in the work with great earnestness and success.” — @9Id.@7, pp. 89, 90.
Titus 24:1
@@@^“Only as they were united with Christ, could the disciples hope to have the accompanying power of the Holy Spirit, and the co-operation of angels of heaven. With the help of these divine agencies, they would present before the world a united front, and would be victorious in the conflict they were compelled to wage unceasingly against the powers of darkness. As they should continue to labor unitedly, heavenly messengers would go before them, opening the way; hearts would be prepared for the reception of truth, and many would be won to Christ. So long as they remained united, the church would go forth, ‘fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners.’ Nothing could withstand her onward progress. The church would advance from victory to victory, gloriously fulfilling her divine mission of proclaiming the gospel to the world.
Titus 25:1
@@@^“The organization of the church at Jerusalem was to serve as a model for the organization of churches in every other place where messengers of truth should win converts to the gospel. Those to whom was given the responsibility of the general oversight of the church, were not to lord it over God’s heritage, but, as wise shepherds, were to ‘feed the flock of God,...being ensamples to the flock;’ and the deacons were to be ‘men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom.’ These men were to take their position unitedly on the side of right, and to maintain it with firmness and decision. Thus they would have a uniting influence upon the entire flock.
Titus 39:1
@@@^“It was now fully established that Moses and Aaron had spoken by divine authority; and the people were compelled to believe the unwelcome truth that they were to die in the wilderness. ‘Behold,’ they exclaimed, we die, we perish, we all perish. They confessed that they had sinned in rebelling against their leaders, and that Korah and his company had suffered from the just judgment of God.’ — @9Id.@7, pp. 395-403.
Titus 42:1
@@@^“In the laws committed to Israel, explicit instruction was given concerning education. To Moses at Sinai God had revealed Himself as ‘merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.’ These principles, embodied in His law, the fathers, and mothers in Israel were to teach their children. Moses by divine direction declared to them: ‘These words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart; and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up.’” — @9Education@7, p. 40.
