Page 120 of 147Revelation 85:2
@@@^The fact that the people of God have since 1930 been receiving an ever-increasing supply of pure (Divinely revealed) truth at the hands of one, is evidence in itself that not only the defiled feasting and the 390 years have ended, but also the 40-year fast. There is no longer need, therefore, for anyone to subsist on dung-baked cakes, or to fast.
Revelation 86:3
@@@^Furthermore, Jerusalem, let it be remembered, is the capital city of Judah. Thus the present siege against the “city” (the Seventh-day Adventist Denomination) is to be a sign to the Sunday-keepers; that is, it is designed to awaken them to a realization of how the Lord is to be worshiped, and where saving truth is to be found; of the commencement of “the great and dreadful day of the Lord,” and of His judgment, also to bring them to a realization that if it first “begin at the house of God,” then “what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 1 Pet. 4: 17.
Revelation 87:1
@@@^But having the long fast now broken with fresh truth, abundant and undefiled by man’s wisdom, the hungry are now feeding at the bountiful table of the Rod (Mic. 7:14), at which you, dear reader, now sit and are joyously bidden to stay on for the rest of the feast.
Revelation 88:3
@@@^As a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Denomination, and the mother of three children, my determination has been to train them to set their affections, not upon the ways of the world but upon the Way of Truth and Righteousness. Faithful mothers know that the task and the responsibility is no light or easy one. And it is in no wise lessened by the worldly influences from within the church, working to build up a fallacious conception of what God expects of His children.
Revelation 91:4
@@@^The Spirit of Truth now again exhorts: “For ye are the temple of the living God as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord.” 2 Cor. 6:16, 17.
Revelation 93:2
@@@^“Who can truthfully say, ‘Our gold is tried in the fire; our garments are unspotted by the world’? I saw our Instructor pointing to the garments of so-called righteousness. Stripping them off, He laid bare the defilement beneath. Then He said to me: Can you not see how they have pretentiously covered up their defilement and rottenness of character? “How is the faithful city become an harlot?” My Father’s house is made a house of merchandise, a place whence the divine presence and glory have departed! For this cause there is weakness, and strength is lacking.’” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 8, p. 250.
Revelation 94:2
@@@^The brethren need light on the subject, and the Lord has given the assurance that “even if all our leading men should refuse light and truth, that door will still remain open. The Lord will raise up men who will give the people the message for this time.” — @9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 107.
2:1
@@@^“That everyone who thirsteth for the truth may obtain it, this tract is mailed free of charge. It levies one exaction, the soul's obligation to itself to prove all things fast and hold fast that which is good. The only strings attached to this free proffer are the golden strands of Eden and the crimson cords of Calvary -- the ties that bind.
6:1
@@@^The third clue is that the one power, being called “Assyria,” has a @9hereditary title@7, which reveals that it is the modern counterpart of the once widespread empire of ancient Assyria even as modern Babylon of Revelation 17, verse 5, is the modern counterpart of ancient Babylon, and as “spiritual Egypt” of Revelation 11, verse 8, is the modern counterpart of ancient Egypt. (See @9The Great Controversy@7, pp. 269, 270.) All of these counterparts, then, are but another Scriptural intimation, and confirmation, of the age-old truth that history repeats itself, and on much broader scale than in the original.
35:3
@@@^In the clear focus of these facts, there comes to light the truth that the “born again” Christians who lived when Ecclesiastical Rome fell, and who are represented by Immanuel, were spiritually too “young,” not far enough along in time and corresponding Bible knowledge and spiritual progress, to discriminate the evil from the good. Consequently, they must attain to this knowledge in the Assyrian (Protestant) period, for the confederacy of Israel and Syria, let us remember, was to be broken by Assyria after Immanuel was born but @9before@7 He could “refuse the evil and choose the good”; and not only after Maher-shalal-hash-baz was born but also @9before@7 he could say “my father and my mother.” And the fact that the church is still imperfect, shows that even the “born again” Christians are to this day unable to choose consistently between good and evil, and that those who are merely born after the flesh are so undeveloped as to be unable even to lay positive claim to knowing their father (God) and their mother (the Church).
37:1
@@@^But the main lesson of Isaiah, chapters 7 and 8, teaches that the church collectively, born in the first century A.D., is today about to pass from her childhood and be fed “strong meat” so as to empower her to choose the good and refuse the evil. “For every one that useth milk,” Inspiration declares, “is unskillful in the Word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Heb. 5:13, 14. Obviously, as time progresses, so the Truth and the Christian advance commensurately with it.
38:1
@@@^Unquestionably the time has come for all church members to realize that they are now passing from Christian childhood into Christian maturity, and should, therefore, no longer try to reach the stature of the full grown by continuing to feed on the food of babes. Hence each one, even the younger members (the born after the flesh), can now be enabled to recognize their spiritual parents, so as intelligently to say, “my Father and my Mother”: for to know their God aright through the Son, and to know their church aright through @9timely@7 Truth, is what brings life eternal. And as each assimilates the “strong meat,” he will thereby become wise and strong “to refuse the evil and choose the good.”
41:1
@@@^The special @9truth@7, or knowledge of the Scriptures, is obtained as a result of praying, “hungering and thirsting,” for it at the right time (Zech. 10:1). Then “the ‘latter rain,’ or refreshing from the presence of the Lord, will come, to give power to the loud voice of the third angel.” — @9Early Writings@7, p.86. Thus while the gift of the latter rain — the additional message — gives power and force to the old message, the gift of the latter pentecost — the addition of the Spirit’s power — subsequently gives power and force to the latter day messengers. This miracle-working power, accordingly, comes not because of praying for it, but because the messengers, through the latter rain, have met the conditions for receiving it.
42:2
@@@^This is why those who seek the @9miracle power @7of the Spirit, while not themselves men with @9miraculous knowledge@7 of the Bible, obtain either nothing or a fatal counterfeit; whereas those who seek to know themselves and the Truth, are filled with knowledge beyond their expectation. And having learned what they actually are, and what they ought to be, they too, like Isaiah and Paul (Isa. 6:5; Rom. 7:22, 23), become humble in their own estimation but powerful and faithful servants in the Lord’s vineyard.
42:3
@@@^Hence, by the timely unfoldment of these simple yet profound figures, no one should now fail to recognize the signs of the time, and no one should now cheat himself of the Truth they proffer. For, It alone can fit the saints for the pentecostal power, as says the Lord: “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and daughters shall prophecy your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.”
43:2
@@@^The urgent lesson here to be learned is that those who are ever-progressing, keeping pace with the march of Truth, are the only @9real@7 Christians. And though even the most advanced of these have not yet reached the high standard (the full growth) set for them by the Lord, yet Inspiration in this latest feast of butter and honey (the latter rain), proffers character-building material to all. As a result of this, thousands of faithful ones at first (Rev. 7:3-8; 14:1, 5) and millions at last (Rev. 7:9; Mic. 4:1-3; Isa. 60:5, 6) will having finally matured for harvest, actually achieve the Lord’s standard, and come “in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” Eph. 4:13. What a bountiful harvest of full grown Christians to be garnered in!
44:2
@@@^The statement, “God is with us,” implies that He is not with the nations that are affiliating themselves for mutual protection, and that therefore they shall be broken, whereas His followers shall then be delivered. Nevertheless, for God to be “with us” in this special sense, we must of course make a special effort to be with Him. And to do this, we must sincerely study His way and follow joyously in His stately steps, which lead us to a full knowledge of the prophetic mysteries, enabling us to avoid the pitfalls, and to stand though all others fall. So, following on to know the Way, the Truth, and the Life, we continue our inquiry into Isaiah’s prophecy.
44:3
@@@^@9Isa. 8:11-22. “For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. And He shall be for a sanctuary @7[to the followers of the truth]@9; but for a stone of stumbling, and for @7a rock of offence, to both the houses of Israel; for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem [even as He was at His first advent]. And many [therefore] among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
45:1
@@@^@9“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among My disciples @7[followers in truth]@9. And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for Him. Behold @7[it is now plain to see]@9, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you @7[to the ‘sealed’ ones]@9, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep and that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law @7[Ex. 20:3-17]@9 and to the testimony @7[Rev. 19:10]@9: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.And they @7[those in darkness]@9 shall pass through it hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves @7[of famine]@9, and @7[some shall]@9 curse their king and their God, and @7[some shall]@9 look upward @7[and be converted]@9. And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they @7[the rejecters of the latter rain]@9 shall be driven to darkness” in the day of@7
46:1
@@@^From the glorious supply house from which Immanuel received butter and honey long ago, the Spirit of Truth is herewith seen ladling out its soul-nourishing food more lavishly than ever before. May everyone who so freely receives, not only lift his heart in thanks to the Great Giver of all good gifts, “the Father of lights,” but also freely give his best efforts to cooperate with the Comforter Who has come, by freely
