@@@^“Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the @9keeping@7 of the @9Commandments@7 of God.” (1 Cor. 7:19.) “And rend your @9heart@7 and @9not@7 your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of evil.” (Joel 2:13.) “For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by @9good words@7 and @9fair speeches@7 deceive the hearts of the @9simple@7.” (Romans 16:18.)
Exodus 81:4
@@@^Said Jesus: “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth @9his life for the sheep@7. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth; and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The @9hireling fleeth@7, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and @9know@7 my sheep and am @9known@7 of @9mine@7. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life @9for@7 the @9sheep@7.” (John 10:11-15.)
Exodus 89:3
@@@^What has brought the present day confusion? Because they have departed from sound Bible truth is the only answer that can be given. Is it possible that all can be right when no two believe alike, with but one bible, one gospel, one Lord, one hell to shun and one heaven to gain? Jesus said: “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be @9one fold@7, and @9one shepherd@7.” (John 10:16.)
Exodus 90:1
@@@^Such Satanic confusion as the one at the present time was about to arise in the days of Paul. As the Spirit of God moved upon him, he uttered the words with a sharp rebuke: “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of (Our Lord Jesus Christ, that @9ye shall speak the same thing@7 and that there be @9no divisions@7 among you; but that ye be @9perfectly joined@7 together in the same mind and in the same judgment. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas, and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?” (1 Cor. 1:10-13.) How great the contrast between the position taken by the Spirit-filled servant of God, and the present day self-styled apostles.
Exodus 90:2
@@@^Jesus said, “All these things will they do unto you, because they have @9not known the Father, nor me@7.” (John 16:3.) Had all these so-called Christian leaders been led by the Spirit of God they would imitate the example set forth by the prophets and the apostles; then there could have been no division in Biblical truth. The Present-day condition is indeed a blasphemy and fulfills the words of the Master: “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” (Matt. 24:24.)
Exodus 90:3
@@@^In view of this great confusion there is apparent difficulty to immediately determine who is right and who is wrong. Jesus said: “Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt. 18:19.) There could be nothing more pleasing to God than for one of His children to ask in sincerity the way of truth; therefore, such a one @9shall not@7 be left in darkness: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” (Matt. 7:7.)
Exodus 93:3
@@@^Therefore, they who lower the standard, and refuse to reform at the sounding of the trumpet, are the very ones who cause division in the church of God! “Now I beseech you brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but @9their own belly@7; and by @9good@7 words and @9fair@7 speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” (Rom. 16:17, 18.)
Exodus 93:4
@@@^Since the history of the church is such, and the last section (Laodiceans) is in a worse condition, and under greater condemnation than any previous one, and as there is no time left for calling out a new movement, then a message of amazing light and stern rebuke through the Word of God, with manifestations of divine judgments, is the only remedy that can bring true conversion and reformation. Thus preparing a church to stand “without spot, wrinkle or any such thing,” of which only can be said: “And the dragon was wroth with the @9woman@7 [the church as a body] and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, @9which keep the commandments of God,@7 and @9have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”@7 (Rev. 12:17.) It is the purity of the church that incurs the wrath of the dragon.
Exodus 99:1
@@@^Jeremiah, looking forward to this time of apostasy, says: “Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one @9cutteth a tree@7 out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They @9deck it with silver and with gold@7; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.” (Jer. 10:2-4.) Though the Word declares, “Learn not the ways of the heathen,” professed ministers of the gospel will cut a tree from the forest and deck it with silver and gold, then dare call it by the name of Christ—Christmas tree. What greater blasphemy can one do? Are ministers and religious teachers ignorant of these things? Jesus said, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him @9in spirit and in truth@7.”
Exodus 103:2
@@@^Every possible ray of light pointing to the coming of the “Lamb of God” had been given to the once-chosen people; but it profited them not. Said Jesus: “If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” Would that these experiences could arouse the leaders and the people at this present time from self confidence and counterfeit security to an earnest search of positive Bible truth.
Exodus 104:3
@@@^Men who are esteemed great by the world, God can seldom use. In general, the great educators of the age are carnal minded, therefore the product from the schools of men is enmity against God. “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” (Rom. 8:7.) If God would use them they must first, with the great apostle, deny themselves. Said Paul: “To preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to @9nothing@7 the understanding of the @9prudent@7.” (1 Cor. 1:17, 19.) “And, I brethren, when I came to you, came @9not with excellency of speech@7 or of @9wisdom@7, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching @9was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom@7, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.” (1 Cor. 2:1-4.)
Exodus 104:4
@@@^God took Moses to the desert and there under His supervision He trained him for forty years—when Moses unlearned all he had learned in the schools of Egypt, then only was God able to use him for an instrument of His mighty arm. When Moses felt capable to deliver Israel from Egyptian bondage he failed; but when he saw himself helpless, then he was strong. If God should give great light to a man who is high in his own esteem, and held likewise by the world, man would glorify himself and rob God of the glory. “At this time Jesus answered and said, I thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast @9hid@7 these things from the @9wise@7 and @9prudent@7, and hast revealed them to @9babes@7.” (Matt. 11:25.) God reveals Himself through instruments and ways least suspected by men. Thus He performs a miracle by making impossibilities possible, revealing His power and arousing the sleeper with @9light@7 and @9voice divine@7. Men of distinction have seldom accepted any light upon the Word of God simply on the value of its truth; this class generally accepts Biblical truth after it becomes popular and when preached by men esteemed higher than themselves.
Exodus 115:3
@@@^Then, as the saints enter in through the pearly gates John’s vision will meet its fulfillment: “And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands, and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.” (Rev. 20:4.) The righteous shall spend a thousand years judging the wicked dead. For further study of the millennium see “Patriarchs and Prophets,” p. 103; “The Great Controversy,” pp. 321, 662.
Exodus 123:4
@@@^This question may be answered by the following Scriptures: “And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of @9Jesus@7: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.” (Rev. 17:6.) This could truly be said of the Roman church, for, she persecuted the Christians and martyred them. Therefore, she is “drunk” with their blood. True, the Roman church has had unlawful connection with the “woman”; @9was@7, and @9is@7 drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Exodus 124:1
@@@^There are many so-called Christians, who like Cain, say, “It makes no difference; one thing is as good as another.” But God accepts no substitute and no man’s religion. That which human wisdom has devised, is man’s righteousness, and not the righteousness of Christ. Therefore, it is an abomination in God’s sight. The human fiber of obedience to divine requirements being weakened, and the sinful inclinations strengthened from generation to generation, the nature of man cannot be better at this Present time than when the disciples asked Jesus: “Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?” So-called Christians, like the Pharisees, become offended when told of their errors, and rebuked for their sins. “But He answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.” (Matt. 15:12-14.)
Exodus 125:1
@@@^God has never had more than one movement in existence at a time and it could not be otherwise now, for Christ cannot be divided. (See 1 Cor. 1:13.) God’s church is well marked in every generation by obedience to present truth. The fact itself proves the claim true as there is @9only@7 one church in the period of the beast which has the “Spirit of Prophecy” and @9all@7 of the commandments as written by the finger of God. Said Jesus: “Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 5:19.) It is this divine principle that shall divide the world into two classes—the commandments of God and the traditions of men. “And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.” (Matt. 25:32, 33.)
Exodus 131:3
@@@^Jesus calls the “daily” and the “sanctuary,” “@9holy place@7.” No Pagan sanctuary would the Master call “holy place,” neither can it be polluted, for it has always been unclean. No pagan daily can be holy. Therefore, the “daily” and the “sanctuary” must hold truth vital to the Christian church, and the prophet declared that it was to be “trodden under foot.” The word “sacrifice” in relation to the “daily” was shown to be supplied by man’s wisdom, as previously stated. It was also pointed out that the word “daily” is correct. Therefore, it cannot be supplemented by another word; it must remain as it is.
Exodus 136:2
@@@^The church in her purity, filled with the spirit of the meek and lowly Jesus, battled against oppression and torture. They prayed for those who would take their lives, saying, “Lord, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” They, like Stephen, kneeled down under a rain of stones, pleading, “Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.” But the Christians who were once zealous for the pure standard of the church, took the crown of civil authority, and compelled the Pagans to join their ranks.
Exodus 144:4
@@@^The readers attention is again called to the chart. The double track passing by Abel and around the cross, shows that the Sabbath and the Sanctuary truths are eternal and divine, and that the recognition of their sacredness had never been thrown out from the church of God until after 508 A.D.; at which time the “goat” with his great horn “cast down the truth to the ground.” But in the year 1844, God’s truth by the power of the “Three Angels’ Messages,” was again brought to light. It is evident that the Sabbath and the Sanctuary, (the law and the gospel) are inseparable. If you have been disobedient to God’s word in any form, will you now, at the last call, say, “Lord, here I am. Take my stony heart and give me a heart of flesh?” Will you plead that He write His law in your heart? The angel is waiting to seal you with the seal of God. Will you choose darkness rather than light? As the angel is lightening the earth with his glory, will you let him lighten your heart? Yet a little while and God’s truth shall triumph, why should you remain behind? Will you stubbornly worship, like Cain, with a religion that cannot save? Will you dishonor the Saviour who died for you, and honor the adversary and enemy of your soul? Why should you perish in just a little while, in the dark millennium? (Follow the chart.) Will you be ready when Jesus comes to take His saints to the mansions above? Take notice that the keeping of the truth is the train to the city of God. “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” (Eccl. 12:13.)
Exodus 167:4
@@@^While Ezekiel calls them “men,” John says they are “virgins.” (Rev. 14:4.) Now, if we should take the position that Ezekiel means men only, then we can as well say, John means women only. Can it be possible that one writer should contradict the other? No indeed. We conclude by the following Scriptures that the 144,000 are of both sexes: “The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the light, that all @9men@7 through him might believe.” (John 1:7.) “@9All men@7,” must include both men and women, otherwise salvation would be for men only. “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all @9men@7 unto me.” (John 12:32.) If the word all @9men@7 in this text does not include both sexes, then the women are lost. “And the time of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all @9men@7 everywhere to repent.” (The Acts 17:30.) Again, if “@9all men@7” include not both male and female, then women are not commanded to repent. It is evident that the noun, @9men@7, is a collective Biblical term of both men and women. The same is true by creation, for, God made the woman of the man. Therefore, she is a @9wo-man@7. Again in Gal. 3:28, we read: “There is neither male nor female: for ye are @9all one@7 in Christ Jesus.”
