Page 119 of 147Revelation 14:3
@@@^“Mark this point with care: Those who receive the pure mark of truth, wrought in them by the power of the Holy Ghost, represented by a mark by the man in linen, are those ‘that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done’ in the church.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 3, p. 267.
Revelation 15:4
@@@^And “@9only@7 those,” avers the Spirit of Truth, “who have withstood temptation in the strength of the Mighty One will be permitted to act a part in proclaiming it [the Third Angel’s Message] when it shall have swelled into the loud cry.” — @9The Review and Herald@7, No. 19, 1908.
Revelation 29:3
@@@^“Brethren,” years ago pleaded the Spirit of Truth with the first-born in warning them of their danger of losing their birth-right, “if you continue to be as idle, as worldly, as selfish as you have been, God will surely pass you by, and take those who are less self-caring, less ambitious for worldly honor, and who will not hesitate to go, as did their Master, without the camp, bearing the reproach. The work will be given to those who will take it, those who prize it, who weave its principles into their every-day experience. God will choose humble men, who are seeking to glorify his name and advance his cause rather than to honor and advance themselves. He will raise up men who have not so much worldly wisdom, but who are connected with him, and who will seek strength and counsel from above.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 461.
Revelation 37:1
@@@^That the Bible reveals its tremendous truths in divers ways — in numerics, in symbols and figures, in parables and allegories, in dreams and visions, in types and providences — is even more fully recognized in the anomalous experience of ancient Israel’s going into Egypt. In it every informed Bible student discerns, not mere happenstance, but purposive design wrought by the omnipotent hand of Providence. Indeed, Joseph himself, the principal character in the great drama, so avouches it: “God did send me before you,” he declares, “to preserve life.” Gen. 45:5.
Revelation 41:1
@@@^And what else in the field of symbolism could the stored “corn” represent but spiritual food, the Word of God stored in the Bible (Ps. 78:24)? Accordingly, the ensample shows that the sixty-six books of the Bible are God’s storehouses of Truth, and that they were filled with soul-nourishing food during the period of the prophets — the antitypical period of plenty — to sustain spiritual life during that time as well as during the subsequent period, the period of the gospel, the antitypical period of famine.
Revelation 41:2
@@@^Hence, the stored Truth which is to sustain each generation both in the Old and New Testament dispensations is the writings of the prophets unfolded as timely revelations throughout the gospel period. And such is, as every Bible student knows, the actual fact.
Revelation 42:1
@@@^The type unerringly shows that just as in Joseph’s day no one could help himself to the corn, but could obtain it only through Joseph’s appointed servants, so even in our day the only one who provides “meat in due season,” is the Saviour through His appointed servants. Only through them He reveals, interprets, and distributes timely truth.
Revelation 42:2
@@@^Thus it is that though we are now in the antitypical years of famine, the period of indirect revelation from Heaven, there is to be no lack of food, present truth. There is enough stored in the Bible to carry us through the years of famine if we but make our request to His appointed distributors. @9This@7 is the most significant, most urgent, and most needed lesson taught in this providential ensample for God’s people.
Revelation 42:3
@@@^The facts that the corn is figurative of the Creator’s Word, and that the storehouses are figurative of the books of the Bible, automatically make Joseph a type of Christ, Who controls the Scriptures and Who alone distributes the Truth to those who pay the price — who give up both their inherited and cultivated tendencies to wrong-doing (@9Christ’s Object Lessons@7, p. 330; @9Prophets and Kings@7, p. 97.)
Revelation 42:4
@@@^So it is that as Joseph reigned co-ruler with Pharaoh, Christ reigns Co-ruler with God: and as Joseph, the world’s physical saviour, stored the corn in the granaries of Egypt, Christ, the world’s spiritual Saviour, stored the Truth in the books of the Bible. Hence, the honor which Pharaoh bestowed upon Joseph foreshadowed the honor which the Master Typologist bestowed upon Christ.
Revelation 46:3
@@@^The Spirit of Truth, however, made known years ago that restrictions on such a practice had already begun. “A strange thing,” It revealed, “has come into our churches. Men who are placed in positions of responsibility that they may be wise helpers to their fellow workers, have come to suppose that they were set as kings and rulers in the churches to say to one brother, Do this; to another, Do That; and to another, Be sure to labor in such and such a way.”—@9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 477.
Revelation 49:7
@@@^The duty of a midwife is to graciously receive, immaculately wash, and neatly clothe, also nutritionally nurse, the new-born babe. So the ancient midwives must represent, those whose spiritual responsibility of this day is to cleanse the student-youth from inherent sins, clothe them with the robes of Christ’s righteousness, and nourish them with spiritual food — teach the doctrines in the light of Present Truth. The only such agency for the youth, of course, is the church school.
Revelation 52:3
@@@^“The present attitude of the church is not pleasing to God. There has come in a self-confidence that has led them to feel no necessity for more truth and greater light. We are living at a time when Satan is at work on the right hand and on the left, before and behind us; and yet as a people we are asleep. God wills that a voice shall be heard arousing His people to action.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 709. (See also @9Gospel Workers@7, p. 300.)
Revelation 60:4
@@@^Having glanced through these three church periods with their varied priesthoods, we now come to the second phase of the typology, and this we shall quickly and even more realistically see as we now review the typological drama of the ages with the aid of the accompanying chart, which graphically unveils the advancing truth and urges our compliance with it.
Revelation 69:2
@@@^Forty years after his first attempt to deliver the children of Israel, Moses was finally sent back into Egypt and was then enabled to break the Egyptian yoke. Adding these 40 years to 1890 A.D., we are brought to 1930, the year in which @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7, Vol. 1, was first published, declaring throughout the Seventh-day Adventist Denomination that “the year of My redeemed is come,” the day in which “the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people.” Isa. 63:4, 11:11. So Moses’ call to actually deliver Israel from Egyptian servitude coincides with the arrival of @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7, demanding obedience to God’s law, declaring the truth of the 144,000, and announcing that this is the time for their deliverance from Gentile rule.
Revelation 74:7
@@@^To “lay siege against it, means, of course, to invade it with an army of reformatory workers and compel it to surrender — to come to the knowledge of the truth herein revealed. Very evident it is, then, that the message of the hour, and it alone, should be brought before the people of God.
Revelation 75:4
@@@^Also “set battering rams [margin — chief leaders] against” the city “round about.” The instrument with which they batter, of course, is clear, cutting, and convincing Bible truth. And this is the very obvious necessity for having in every branch of the work capable men to wisely lead.
Revelation 84:1
@@@^Though the grains are God’s creation, showing that the respective doctrines which they represent are in themselves Divine truth, yet Ezekiel’s visionally baking the symbolic cakes of them on dung fire, shows that these doctrines have been defiled — misinterpreted, added to and subtracted from — minced, as it were, and then served.
Revelation 84:3
@@@^Judah’s long fast then ending, they would of course begin to receive clean bread, unadulterated truth, as rapidly and plentifully as their need called for, and henceforth they would eat food and drink water forever without measure and without astonishment. This they shall experience, but not until after the 430 years have ended, in which time the city is to be taken and the people freed from the yoke of all their masters — the hypocritical, the estranged, and the ungodly.
Revelation 84:4
@@@^And finally, when Jerusalem, their homeland, the land of promise, is liberated from Gentile rule, “the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled,” then will these emancipated children of the “captive daughter of Zion” (Isa. 52:2), “return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king, and shall fear the Lord and His goodness.” Hos. 3:5. Then will they be reassured forever of an even more abundant supply of pure, undefiled (Inspired) Truth.
