Page 12 of 147Judges 5:8
@@@^Here we see that verse 23 promises a revelation of truth, for righteousness is developed only by a knowledge of the truth, while verse 28 promises an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on “all flesh” to endue them with power to proclaim the revelation (rain) of “the teacher of righteousness.” Thus these two manifestations of the Holy Spirit–the truth and the power to proclaim it–compose the rain in its fullness.
Ruth 8:1
@@@^We note on page 24 of our copy of “The Gathering Call” for Sept.-Oct. an article written against the sanctuary truth as taught by Sr. White. Therein we see that the article does not refute her position by Bible truth but attempts to do so by making light of what actually took place in the earthly sanctuary. The author endeavors to convince us that the “holy place” is not in this connection the first apartment of the sanctuary, and because he cannot prove this by the Bible, he tries to explain away the truth with his darkened mind by reasoning along the following tenor:
2 Samuel 3:2
@@@^I repeat, it is not our names on the church books that make us true Seventh-day Adventists, but the keeping of the truth. If the only possible way the brethren have of casting reflections upon the message is by falsifying the facts, then they had better leave the responsibility of defending the truth wholly to God, Who is able to protect His people by TRUTH instead of falsehood.
2 Samuel 5:1
@@@^“I have read with keen interest the two tracts you sent me and wish to learn more of present truth. I have fully determined to investigate all that is to be learned of this new light on the truths we have always known and held dear. Past 50 years of age, I have been a student of God’s Word since childhood and have labored in the Sabbath School and church as Bible teacher and leader, and I can say from what I have learned from the two tracts which I have just received from you that the Scriptures which I have never been able to understand are now as clear as the sunlight. I am indeed glad for this wonderful light and I fully believe it is God’s truth, ‘the Third Angel’s Message in verity.’
2 Kings 7:6
@@@^It is interesting to note that one of these companies was raised up right under the shadow of the Union Conf. Office, and in the village where one of our older schools is located, and where many workers and teachers live, all of which goes to show that even the greatest men among us can do nothing against the truth but for the truth, and all the tirades staged against the beautiful message of present truth contained in the SRod, only creates more interest in it.
1 Chronicles 6:1
@@@^“Satan’s attacks against the advocates of the truth will wax more bitter and determined to the very close of time. As in Christ’s day the chief priests and rulers stirred up the people against Him, so today the religious leaders will excite bitterness and prejudice against the truth for this time. The people will be led to acts of violence and opposition which they would never have thought of had they not been imbued with the animosity of professed Christians against the truth.”–“Gospel Workers,” p. 324.
2 Chronicles 5:3
@@@^A letter recently received by one of our young people written by another who has recently, with her parents, made a personal investigation of the message contained in the SRod and is rejoicing in the beautiful truths contained in this present truth for the church and relates some of her experiences which reveal how some of our young people are just as willing to “stand in defense of truth and righteousness when the majority forsake us, to fight the battles of the Lord when champions are few,” as those of us who are older in years.
Job 3:7
@@@^We find our people everywhere, hungering and thirsting for the truth, and many of them are conscious that God is about to visit His church in a special way, and thus when the message of present truth is presented to them, they eagerly take hold of it in spite of the fear the enemy of truth has created in their hearts by telling them not to listen to anyone who sympathizes with us in “the straight testimony of the True Witness to the Laodiceans.”
Ecclesiastes 2:4
@@@^As our dear people learn the truth on the subject for the first time in their lives and actually see that what Ezekiel was shown is prophecy and that John’s vision of the same event is the revelation of it, their hearts melt with joy and Godly fear; and the unanimous testimony is that they would not take millions of dollars for this blessed “present truth” on the Third Angel’s Message, and in many instances real conversion to the truth is experienced for the first time, and both old and young rejoice together in this “blessed hope.”
Song of Solomon 3:4
@@@^Moreover, as the simplest of the simple can without any difficulty comprehend its teaching, and confess that they have stepped out of darkness into its marvelous light proves that its brightness is a “clear as crystal and glittering as transparent gold.” Furthermore, as it has already crossed both the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans, it shows that it is moving as the appearance of a flash of lightning; carrying on one hand the ringing testimonies of those who search for truth even more zealously than those who search for gold, and on the other hand the news it brings of the severe persecution and hatred against the class that search for truth by the class that search for gold, proves that this little truth bearing agent is as sweet as honey to the taste of the former and as bitter as wormwood to the taste of the latter, and as those who partake of its “butter and honey” learn how to “refuse the evil and choose the good,” it evidences the fact that its product will bring about “a great reformatory movement among God’s people, . . . a spirit of intercession . . . even as was manifested before the great Day of Pentecost” and thus will the church be able to heal the sick and do other miracles.—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 9, p. 126: “Early Writings.” p. 278.
Song of Solomon 4:11
@@@^We as S.D.A.’s by being “robbed and spoiled” placed an unauthoritative halo of sacredness around the tithe, making it appear that it must be spent for nothing else but to feed, house, and clothe the ministers who are not only taking the tithe but the offerings and the institutional incomes also, and we all with one consent and without a question, as blind as bats on a bright sunny day, got under the load and raised all the goals; but now in “the unrolling of the scroll,” while our eyes have been opened, some are going into another extreme; and as Satan by the leading men in the S.D.A. denomination pulled the wool over our eyes while he had the denomination in his grip by head and foot urged us then to give everything we have, now by his wicked suggestions is urging those who have embraced Present Truth to withhold their means! His urging them to be liberal in the former and his suggestions of stinginess in the latter all the more proves that the denomination has sold out to him, and that we have the truth of the hour. Then, too, by over urging us in the former place to produce the bricks, and causing the conferences to misuse the means, he has been robbing God’s people of their strength, whereas now in the latter place by suggesting to those who have embraced Present Truth to withhold their means is an attempt to blockade the proclamation of the sealing message and to rob God’s people of it, too. Thus in both instances he has attempted to weaken Christ’s line of defense and to strengthen his own.
Song of Solomon 10:7
@@@^Answer: The only objection in the above paragraph Brother B presents against “The Shepherd’s Rod” is that it claims “Inspiration”; at the same time he accuses the General Conference of not allowing any truth to enter into the ranks of the denomination, but though unconscious of the fact, he is against “inspired” “truth”, and now I would like to ask Brother B, If it is not inspired how could it be the @9truth@7? And would it be a call from God?
Song of Solomon 11:5
@@@^If the Revelator be wrong in this instance, then can he not be mistaken in other instances also? And if the book of the Revelation can not be depended upon just as it reads, then how can we put any confidence in the rest of the Bible? If the prophets could not declare the positive truth of what they saw then how can a Bible student without either vision or “inspiration”? Furthermore, if God could cause men in times past to write “the truth and nothing but the truth,” why can He not do the same now? Has He lost His power or is He less interested in His church now than anciently? Still further, if the prophets’ inspired views in times past did not supplant the “oligarchial bureaucracy with a dictatorship of” their “own,” why would the same views do it now? And if such was the case and was right then, why would it be wrong now?
Song of Solomon 12:9
@@@^If God can not lead us into all truth any longer, how can He ever bring unity among His people so that they all with certainty speak the same thing? How can He save them from Satan’s multiplied delusions and erroneous interpretations of the Scriptures? See our tract No. 5, “Final Warning,” pp. 8-15. As the enemies of Present Truth are trying to place the stamp of Inspiration on the book, “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation,” even endeavoring to pass Sister White’s approval on it for authority, and at the same time do not accept the message “The Shepherd’s Rod” contains because it claims “Inspiration,” it proves that their attitude in each instance is prompted by Satan with the desired end to down the Truth and exalt error.
Daniel 3:1
@@@^And now, as it is going on seven years since God commanded us by the “Rod” to eat of the abundance of “milk and honey” which, in the substance of truth (spiritual food), doubtless bulks greater than all the truth put together which the church has had heretofore, there comes to every Present Truth believer the solemn questions: “Am I refusing the evil and choosing the good? Do I find myself walking faithfully in the glorious light? Or am I ‘rebellious like that rebellious house’?”
Daniel 8:5
@@@^The treading of the sanctuary under foot is the same as the casting “down the truth to the ground” (Dan. 8:12). Thus, both “the host” and “the truth” were cast down during the period of the ruling power of the little horn of Daniel 7:25; that is, during the 1260 years the little horn wore out the saints of the Most High, cast down the truth of the sanctuary, substituted the heathen priesthood for the priesthood of Christ, and introduced a pagan festal day in place of God’s Sabbath, and thought to change the “times and laws”; and by bringing into the church of God, a flood of unconverted heathen and their customs, he polluted the sanctuary of earth as well as the one in heaven.
Hosea 6:5
@@@^Moreover, John 14:26 does not say that we can, of ourselves, discover the hidden truths of the Bible, but, on the contrary,that we should wait for the Spirit of Truth to come to teach us, which teaching is called Inspiration. Still further, if S. D. A.’s can study the Bible by themselves, without the help of others, then why not others, who also have the Bible, do the same? And, if they can, then where is the need of the ministry, missionaries, and the printed page? Has God especially favored us because we call ourselves S. D. A.’s? Furthermore, it is the writings of Sister White that founded the S. D. A. denomination, for all the truths which we claim to know, and which other denominations do not, came through her writings.
Amos 12:4
@@@^Though I have been a Seventh-day Adventist for several years, during which time I studied my Bible in an earnest endeavor to understand it, yet I could not get much out of Daniel, The Revelation, and many other books, but I was so eager to know the truth that I asked the dear Lord to let me comprehend the meaning of His Word, and He put the desire into my heart to go hear the studies given by believers in “The Shepherd’s Rod.” This I did, and now my Bible is a different book to me. Praise His dear name! I often say, O, how much I have missed by not going sooner to hear these wonderful truths! When I think of the time lost in which I could have been studying this message of Present Truth, it grieves my soul.
Obadiah 13:3
@@@^Satan, represented by human beings, is ever busy distracting Present Truth believers, destroying their influence among the people, and thus making the truth of none effect. His great and lasting victories have not been won by opposing the truth, but rather by professing strictly to advocate every precept of it, and by showing great reverence and zeal for its advancement, thus gaining the confidence of the people, and making them believe him to be a zealous minister of God and a friend of His people. Then, having beguiled them into placing confidence in him, and into being perfectly satisfied that he is leading them on to eternal glory, he easily and quietly leads his victims on to eternal ruin.
Jonah 3:1
@@@^Its being true that nature is God’s open book to all nations, tongues, and peoples, be they small or great, learned or illiterate, we are admonished by the lesson from this year’s harvest to avail ourselves of the moisture (truth) from above while we are now in the time of the latter rain, which is to give us the development that will recommend us to the heavenly garner. Therefore, just as the complete success of Mt. Carmel’s crops depended upon the April-May rains, so the completeness of our holiness and salvation depends upon the showers of the “latter rain” (teacher of righteousness—Joel 2:23, margin) as God, Himself, is the “husbandman” of the field, and the Creator of the rain, He would not cause either too much or too little rain (Present Truth) to fall upon the grain (church). Consequently, we who have the opportunity to make use of all the Present Truth (rain) which God sends, will, if we in any way deprive ourselves of it, fail in our Christian development, as did Mt. Carmel’s fields fail in their development, falling short of yielding a full crop to the “Husbandman” Who hath long waited for His “first fruits” of the promised seed.
