Genesis 50:7
@@@^7. Last of all, Jesus and the majestic, heavenly throng with ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands of angels. What a wonderful gathering that will be! Can we find anything more harmonious than this in all the Bible? It will be noticed we again have the complete Biblical number “seven,” and it cannot be made more or less, and yet include all. Ought this not to wake up our interest and zeal when we see what a glorious event is in store for God’s faithful people?
Genesis 51:2
@@@^It is unmistakably plain that it was an angel with a writer’s inkhorn, and that his work was @9done@7; also that Jesus’ work was finished in the heavenly Sanctuary (probation closed). Because this angel has a writer’s inkhorn by his side same as the man in Ezekiel 9, is no proof that it is the same angel, for it may be supposed that there would be more than one angel with such an instrument. However, it may be the same sealing angel in both instances, but the thought is, when the man of Ezekiel 9, seals the 144,000, his work continues on through the harvest time.
Genesis 68:1
@@@^God permitted the plenty, as well as the famine. Each one bears the number “seven,” meaning “perfect,” or “complete.” These two sections of time can only mean one thing which is none other than this world in history, in two great divisions; namely B.C. and A.D., with the cross as the dividing line. The seven years of plenty represent the Old Testament period in which time God gave plenty, for by His holy prophets He stored it in the great storehouse, what we today call the Bible. In Matt. 11:13, we read: “For all the prophets and the law prophesied @9until John@7.” It is for this reason that Jesus made the above statement, for we have no other thus far.
Genesis 71:3
@@@^“And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: So the land became Pharaoh’s.” Gen. 47:20. In the preceding verses of the chapter we read the Egyptians spent all their money for corn; and when the money was gone, they gave the cattle in exchange; and when the cattle were gone, they gave the land; and when the land was gone, they sold themselves and became servants to Pharaoh. This is the type, but of the fulfillment of this type, we read in the following texts: “And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: Neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: And great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that @9lacked@7: for as many as were @9possessors @7of@9 lands@7 or @9houses sold@7 them, and @9brought@7 the @9prices@7 of the things that were sold, and @9laid@7 them down at the apostles’ feet:… And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas,…a Levite,… Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.” Acts 4:32-37. Thus Jew and Gentile sold all houses and lands and brought the prices and laid them at the apostles’ feet, and became servants to the church (Pharaoh).
Genesis 72:1
@@@^Again we read Acts 5:1-10, “But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, and kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to @9keep back part of the price @7of the land?… And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost.” Thus any who pretended to sell, and held back part of the price received, in the days of the apostles, died just as those who would not sell all to Pharaoh in Egypt. Jesus said “Sell all and follow Me.” Therefore type met anti-type.
Genesis 76:3
@@@^In the beginning of the seven years of famine the Egyptians sold all and became servants to Pharaoh, which has reference to the apostles’ church and of the Gentiles then, who sold their houses, and lands, and had all things in common, as previously explained. But Israel did not sell any of their possessions, nor did they pay for the food with which Joseph nourished them. Israel, then, represents the church now. In the beginning of the church in 1845, Christ (Joseph) opened the storehouse and gave us all the truth (corn) we could possibly assimilate. Is it not a fact that no other people at any time in the history of the church have received as much truth as God has given us in our time? Line upon line, precept upon precept, instruction upon instruction, have been given us, so that we, as a people, may know and understand the ways of the Lord, obey His voice, keep His charge, commandments, statutes, and laws; thus becoming the “children of Abraham, and heirs according to the promise.” When this is realized in the hearts of men then they will fulfill the charge given to Peter. Peter said, “Thou knowest I love Thee.” Jesus saith unto him, “@9Feed My sheep@7.”
Genesis 138:2
@@@^In verse 14 and 15, there is great encouragement for the people of God, and it ought to strengthen our faith. “In righteousness shalt thou be established: Thou shalt be far from oppression; for…they shall surely gather together, but not by me: Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.” The time of the fulfillment of these verses is well portrayed in Early Writings, pages 282, 283: “I saw the saints leaving the cities and villages, and associating together in companies and living in the most solitary places. Angels provided them food and water, while the wicked were suffering from hunger and thirst. Then I saw the leading men of the earth consulting together, and Satan and his angels busy around them. I saw a writing, copies of which were scattered in different parts of the land, giving orders that unless the saints should yield their peculiar faith, give up the Sabbath, and observe the first day of the week, the people were at liberty after a certain time, to put them to death.…but angels in the form of men of war fought for them. Satan wished to have the privilege of destroying the saints of the Most High; but Jesus bade His angels watch over them.…Next came the multitude of the angry wicked, and next a mass of evil angels, hurrying on the wicked to slay the saints. But before they could approach God’s people, the @9wicked must first pass this company of mighty, holy angels@7. This was impossible. The angels of God were causing them to recede, and also causing the evil angels who were pressing around them to fall back.”
Genesis 139:1
@@@^Verse 11 and 12, contain another wonderful promise, and show the purity and holiness of God’s people. “O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.” This scripture could hardly refer to the New Jerusalem,—the Holy City, for there is no reference made of the walls of the city having windows, nor could there be any necessity for them, for twelve gates only are mentioned. Furthermore, the gates are made of one great pearl, and not of carbuncles. (“And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: Every several gate was of one Pearl.” Rev. 21:21.) The verses being considered at this time refer to a spiritual house of which Solomon’s temple was a symbol. This spiritual house is referred to by Paul in Eph. 2:20-22 “and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”
Genesis 140:1
@@@^Note the kind and quality of material used here in this spiritual house. It is the most precious known to humanity— “I will lay thy stones with fair colors” (Isa. 54:11). Foundations of sapphires, windows of agates, gates of carbuncles, and borders of pleasant stones. Think of Jesus as the precious corner stone; the apostles, who sacrificed their lives, as the wonderful foundations; the prophets (many of whom were killed by cruelty, even to the extent of being sawed between two logs), as the windows to give light to this beautiful house; and those in the church during the dark ages, who suffered and were tortured by the cruel persecutors, to beautify the borders of this most glorious, spiritual house.
Genesis 141:1
@@@^“Come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money.” Water is the most essential article to sustain life; both human, animal, and vegetable. It is the most abundant substance, and without it life is impossible. In this verse it is meant to represent spiritual life, which is bounded by Eternity. Jesus, speaking to the woman at the well, said, “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:14.
Genesis 147:2
@@@^The second verse describes the people to whom He wishes to speak. The first part of the third verse tells of the complaints His people are making. “We have fasted,” “and have afflicted our souls, but our prayers are not heard.” He takes no knowledge of them, is their cry. The last part of the verse tells where the trouble lies: “Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact @9all@7 your labors.” This fast cannot be a fast for food, for when one is fasting of food he is permitted to find pleasure, and exact all his labor. In fact, one must go about his daily duties as usual, so that he would show no outward appearance of fasting. Our Saviour requires that this duty be performed in sincerity, and not in hypocrisy, for the glory of God, and not for attraction and appearance to men. Jesus said, “Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.” Matt. 6:16-18.
Genesis 151:1
@@@^Verse 19: “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun.” God will make this coming as an example to the nations, just as He did with Sodom and Gomorrah. Isa. 59:19, last part: “When the enemy shall come in like a @9flood@7, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” John in Rev. 12:15, refers to this incident. “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.” The woman here mentioned is God’s church (Seventh-day Adventist) “which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” The “flood” is not the blue Sunday law, or any persecution in the past. The blue law has a different setting, and is described in Revelation 13, as a persecuting power to enforce the mark of the beast.
Genesis 152:1
@@@^As soon as the separation is finished, and Satan has lost out with his deceptive scheme, the church finds herself in a great conflict with the enemy. Rev. 12:17, “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed [those who are left], which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (The war against the woman is the blue law.)
Genesis 156:3
@@@^Verse 4: “For the day of vengeance is in Mine heart, and the year of My redeemed is @9come@7.” Note, “the day of vengeance” the Lord says is in His “heart”, but the “year of His redeemed is come.” Note the verb “come” is in present tense, just as in Rev. 14:7, “Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is @9come@7.” We, as a people, hold that the verb “come” was inscribed in present tense because the @9judgment@7 in heaven took place (at the end of the 2300 days of Daniel’s prophecy) in 1844, but it was not understood until after the Prophetic period had passed, therefore God did not intend to make the judgment known until after the hour had come. For this reason Inspiration inscribed the occurrence in present tense, “@9is come@7,” in order to be grammatically correct. Thus William Miller made the mistake of the event to transpire at the end of the 2300 days; namely, the sanctuary truth, Jesus entering the Most Holy place, and the beginning of judgment.
Genesis 180:2
@@@^Verse 11, “Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.” As soon as God’s church as a body (not as individuals) escapes the clutches of the devil (for the unclean shall not enter in), and becomes earnest, filled with the Spirit of God, the wrath of the old enemy will be aroused, and will bring about the fulfillment of Rev. 12:17. “And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to make war with the @9remnant@7 of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.”
Genesis 183:2
@@@^Evidently there are two classes of Christians. One class makes disciples for Christ, while the other class contribute infidels against Christ. We may well ask ourselves, Which class do I belong to? 2 Cor. 13:5, “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” Quoting 2 Tim. 2:15, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” This commandment is as good as any Bible commandment. At least it ought to be as good as the fifth commandment of the decalogue. “Honor thy father and thy mother: That thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Ex. 20:12.
Genesis 185:2
@@@^Quoting 2 Cor. 13:5, “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” We, as Seventh-day Adventists, would do no wrong to heaven nor injustice to ourselves if we would take an account of our Christian experience so that we may be able to tell where we are headed for. We, as a people, have been honored by heaven with a special message for the world in this generation. We call this message the “Third Angel’s Message” which is a combination of the first, second, and third angel’s messages of Rev. 14:6-12. The substance of the message we bear may be classified into five subjects: (1) the time of the end; (2) the judgment (day of atonement, since 1844); (3) the second coming of Christ in @9this generation@7; (4) the restoration of the true Sabbath; (5) calling God’s people out from Babylon (idolatry) which we define to be Sunday, Easter, and Christmas keeping, etc. Because they have refused to acknowledge and renounce the practice of these so-called Christian institutions or festivals is the chief cause of the downfall of Babylon. The call is to depart from these pagan practices to the true worship of Jehovah.
Genesis 186:1
@@@^We teach tithing for the support of the gospel. We claim we are the people who keep the @9commandments@7 of God and have the @9testimony@7 of Jesus, the latter being the gift of the Spirit of Prophecy; also the doctrines of health reform, dress reform, etc. The chief and only purpose of these doctrines being to prepare a peculiar people to God’s own glory and honor; a people to meet the Lord without tasting death, or, to rise in the special resurrection of Daniel 12. “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal Priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” 1 Pet. 2:9.
Genesis 199:1
@@@^“@9It is difficult@7 for those who feel @9secure@7 in their @9attainments@7, and @9who@7 believe themselves to be rich in spiritual knowledge, to @9receive@7 the message which declares that @9they are deceived@7 and in need of every spiritual grace. The unsanctified heart is ‘deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.’ I was shown that many are @9flattering@7 themselves that they are good Christians who have not a ray of light from Jesus. They have not a living experience for themselves in the divine life. They need a deep and thorough work of self-abasement before God, before they will feel their true need of earnest, persevering effort to secure the precious graces of the Spirit… They think the testimony of the Spirit of God in reproof is uncalled for, or that it does not mean them. Such are in the greatest need of the grace of God and spiritual discernment, that they may discover their deficiency in spiritual knowledge . . . But the message of the True Witness reveals the fact that a terrible deception is upon our people, which makes it necessary to come to them with warnings, to break their spiritual slumber, and arouse them to decided action… Unbelief is closing their eyes, so that they are ignorant of their true condition. The True Witness thus describes their blindness: ‘And knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.’ .
