Page 177 of 316Proverbs 6:7
@@@^The above quotation needs no interpretation as does “Early Writings,” p. 71. It is definite that, before God’s people receive the seal they must separate themselves from sin and @9sinners@7, whereas the opponents of The Shepherd’s Rod claim that the separation takes place after the sealing is completed–after the close of probation.
Proverbs 7:3
@@@^Ans. We are happy to publicly answer this question and thank this sister for her sincere endeavor to keep us straight with our God. We are also glad that she desires to be in perfect harmony with Sr. White’s writings and that she is complying with the instruction found in the pages to which she is calling our attention and from which we quote:
Proverbs 7:4
@@@^“Make your complaint, plainly and openly, in the right spirit, to the proper ones. Send in your petitions for things to be adjusted and set in order; but do not withdraw from the work of God, and prove unfaithful, because others are not doing right.” (9T 249.)
Proverbs 7:5
@@@^Our only aim in life is to be true to the Word of God–the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy–faithful in our duties and a blessing to His people–we have no other plans. Therefore, we take the liberty of perusing the pages to which our attention is called with intention to comply strictly with the instruction found therein.
Proverbs 7:8
@@@^Therefore, if we have appropriated the tithe in any secular lines, whether it be for buying land, houses, or for any other enterprise, then we, as stewards of God’s “storehouse,” are guilty and stand to be reproved on the charges of mismanagement, but if we are using the Lord’s money wisely for the advancement of His cause, whether it be invested in land, in literature, or for labor, etc., we have not sinned.
Proverbs 7:10
@@@^Suppose there is a need of a certain project, as the one that has been launched (for the building of the “camp”) on Mt. Carmel, and the laity can not furnish the necessary funds for its completion, while the ministry can, but as they have no other income besides the tithe, should they for this reason lavish their abundant supply of tithe upon themselves for extras while neglecting to carry out the plans for the greatly needed project in the work of God just because if they give of their means they would have to take it from the tithe?
Proverbs 8:1
@@@^We have invested the Lord’s money on nothing secular, and could not, for the fact that our only business is the Lord’s business. The tract of land and the building program of Mt. Carmel is not a secular one; it is in the plan of God. See Ezekiel 4:2. Moreover, as it is to be used for the benefit of the ministers as well as for the benefit of the laity, and as the ministers must by the tithe pay their own rent or build their own houses in which to live, if we use no tithe at all for this requisite center of influence, then the ministers, by not contributing toward its completion, would have no right of their own on this hill which is to proclaim the “coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord,” and if any of them should come to live here for any length of time they would be intruding on the laity.
Proverbs 8:3
@@@^We feel sure that the enemies of The Shepherd’s Rod have put this question in this sister’s mind, for the devil’s chief business is to accuse by making the white look black and the black look white; he never tells the truth. Therefore, we are not surprised at his tricks and we stand ready to meet him on his own ground. Had we made no such disposition of the tithe he would have accused us for hoarding it, but we thank God for leading us into all truth and thus defeating the adversary every time he opens his dragon-like mouth.
Proverbs 9:5
@@@^“I asked the meaning of the shaking I had seen, and was shown that it would be caused by the straight testimony called forth by the counsel of the True Witness to the Laodiceans. This will have its effect upon the heart of the receiver, and will lead him to exalt the standard and pour forth the straight truth. Some will not bear this straight testimony. They will rise up, against it, and this is what will cause a shaking among God’s people.” (“Early Writings,” p. 270.)
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.”
Ecclesiastes 2:8
@@@^Brother Buckheister in Charleston, and Doctor Young in Columbia, and Doctor Stokes in Brevard, all have been faithfully leading out in the work. Arriving in Georgia we found Brethren Boynton, Kurtz, and Woods, together with the other brethren faithfully pleading with God’s professed people to accept His gracious call for a reformation and I am glad that their efforts have not been in vain and that those who have been leading out in the work in this part of the field are not the only ones who are busy, for many who “stay by the stuff” have been doing their bit.
Ecclesiastes 2:9
@@@^The solemn work that is committed to us compels us to earnestly plead with all who have accepted this precious “present truth” that they be faithful, for the mere acceptance of the theory of the message will not save any of us. We are indeed now in the “eleventh hour” call, and just as the Lord demonstrated to the Jews of old how “Justice and Mercy met together and Righteousness and Peace kissed each other,” so we are soon to see how God is to answer the question raised by the old gospel prophet when he asked:
Ecclesiastes 3:2
@@@^How solemn indeed are these words, and the fact that “the closing work for the church” will soon be over, shall we who know this “startling denunciation” which God in His mercy is sending to the “angel of the church of the Laodiceans” (3 T 253) allow anything to turn us from the work of warning the angel and the church of the storm that shall “sweep away the refuge of lies” (Isa. 28:17) and be counted with the false brethren who are to be taken away by the slaughter weapons of Ezekiel Nine? (5T 211) or shall we do our part faithfully so that the Lord may set the S.D.A.’s as “light bearers” in all the world? (P.K. 725)
Ecclesiastes 3:6
@@@^Ans. It is true that in the eyes of a surface reader Matthew contradicts Daniel and Daniel contradicts Matthew, but when the student of prophecy is led by the Spirit of God, Who dictated the Scriptures, he sinks the shaft deep into the mine of truth, for he knows that the Scriptures in themselves are in perfect harmony.
Ecclesiastes 3:7
@@@^Speaking of the tribulation, says the scripture: “Except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved;” i.e., God’s people would have been completely wiped out from the face of the earth had it not been for the never failing promise: “But for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matt. 24:22), whereas in the time of trouble Michael will stand up to deliver @9every one@7 that shall be “found written in the book.” In other words, during the time of the tribulation the righteous were killed and the wicked delivered, whereas in the time of trouble the righteous will be delivered and the wicked killed. Therefore, the tribulation and the time of trouble are two outstanding events, each one being the greatest of its kind in the annals of prophetic history–one the greatest against the righteous and the other the greatest against the wicked. Thus we see that, both Matthew and Daniel are correct–showing that each event is the greatest of its kind.
Ecclesiastes 3:9
@@@^Thus we see that when we take into consideration the meaning of each word instead of making thoughtless and hasty conclusions, the Scriptures prove to be not only most perfect and wonderful and yet simple, but also inspiring, making wise the humble–and lightening the path of him who as did Christ, delights to do the will of God.
Ecclesiastes 4:2
@@@^@9Ques.@7 “Please explain the following citation from “Early Writings,” p.36: ‘I saw that the anger of the nations, the wrath of God, and the time to judge the dead, were separate and distinct, one following the other, also that Michael had not stood up, and that the time of trouble such as never was, had not yet commenced.’”
Ecclesiastes 4:9
@@@^The anger of the nations being in the time of the judgment of the living–in the Loud Cry of the Third Angel’s Message–their anger is @9against God’s people@7, not against @9each other@7 nation otherwise the statement in “Early Writings.”p. 36 could not be correct, for the nations against each other have been and are angry; for instance, the world’s war took place in “the time of the judgment of the dead.”
Ecclesiastes 4:10
@@@^“The anger of the nations” will develop by the decree that the two-horned beast is to enact “and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed” (Rev. 13 :15), for the fact that all the nations will follow in the footsteps of the two-horned beast and “the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world” (6 T 395) showing that this “anger of the nations” is a world-wide confederacy against God’s people as predicted by the prophet Zechariah: “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” (Zech. 12:3.)
Ecclesiastes 5:1
@@@^Verse 8 proves that at the time of the anger of the nations, “clad in the armor of Christ’s righteousness, the church is to enter upon her final conflict, “Fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners,” she is to go forth into all the world, conquering and to conquer” for, “in that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.”
