Page 19 of 39Psalms 2:4
@@@^Just before His crucifixion Jesus promised, saying: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:1-3.)
Psalms 2:6
@@@^Forty days after His resurrection, on the day of His ascension, having led His disciples to the Mount of Olivet and after answering their questions concerning the kingdom, “He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven.” (Acts 1:9-11)
Psalms 2:7
@@@^Besides Christ’s own promise we have the testimony of the apostles who witnessed all that took place and the angels who stood by testified that though Jesus was taken away He is to return. Therefore we are not trusting in cunningly devised fables.
Psalms 2:8
@@@^Having prepared a place for all the redeemed Jesus will return, not only for those who are alive, but also for those who are dead, as described in 1 Thess.4:16-18:“For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
Psalms 5:4
@@@^@@Dear Brethren: @^It has now been about four years since I received Volume One of “The Shepherd’s Rod” through the mail. I studied it very cautiously, knowing that we were living in the time when Satan was laying his snares for every one who is keeping the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus.
Psalms 8:2
@@@^“Christ has warned us of this, that we may not be surprised at the unnatural, cruel course of those who reject the light.” (Id. 630.) And for our encouragement, “These things have I spoken unto you,” said Jesus, “that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.” (John 16:1, 2.)
Ecclesiastes 1:6
@@@^We are of good courage and words fail us by which to express our thanks to the One Who is “taking the reins in His own hands” for His great mercy, tender care, and guiding hand; and we are glad to say that our foreheads are reaching the flint stage and if we continue in the race of the high calling of Jesus we shall soon merge into the adamant stage. (Ezek. 3:9.)
Ecclesiastes 3:8
@@@^As the tribulation is the greatest “since the beginning of the world,” it shows that there has never been as great a tribulation against God’s people as there was during the above stated period; and as Jesus said that there never shall be the like, He assures us that God will not permit the wicked after 1798 A.D., to again “wear out the saints,” whereas the time of trouble, says Daniel, is the greatest “since there was a nation;’ showing that the deluge was either greater or equal to it, also that the time of trouble could be followed by a greater one, for He says, “even to that same time” instead, “nor ever shall be.”
Ecclesiastes 6:7
@@@^@@Dear Brethren: @^In the absence of our regular leader, in prayer meeting last night a lay member was called upon to hold the service. He talked about false churches and then about the true church and said, “The true church is the one which keeps the commandments of God and has the faith of Jesus.” Though not out loud, in our hearts we said amen. Attention was called to “The Shepherd’s Rod” and after asking him questions, he supposed we (six of us) were against the Rod’s teachings but when he found that we were adherents to it he immediately closed the meeting and never talked any more about it.
Song of Solomon 3:5
@@@^Though only a few of you I have personally ever met, yet I feel free to address you as though I have always known you, and I praise Him for making it possible by uniting us in Himself as one family, and that “hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”
Song of Solomon 4:5
@@@^“Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul’s neck, and kissed him.” (The Acts 20:31-35, 37.)
Song of Solomon 7:3
@@@^Of this class of workers Christ says: “They will question and criticize everything that arises in the unfolding of truth, criticize the work and position of others, criticize every branch of the work in which they have not themselves a part. They will feed upon the errors and mistakes and faults of others, ‘until,’ said the angel, ‘the Lord Jesus shall rise up from His mediatorial work in the heavenly sanctuary, and shall clothe Himself with the garments of vengeance, and surprise them at their unholy feast; and they will find themselves unprepared for the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ Their taste has been so perverted that they would be inclined to criticize even the table of the Lord in His kingdom.”—“Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 5, p. 690.
Song of Solomon 7:7
@@@^“I saw that some of the people of God are stupid and dormant, and but half awake; they do not realize the time we are now living in, and that the man with the ‘dirt brush’ has entered, and that some are in danger of being swept away. I begged of Jesus to save them, to spare them a little longer, and let them see their awful danger, that they might get ready before it should be forever too late. The angel said, Destruction is coming like a mighty whirlwind.’ I begged of the angel to pity and to save those who loved this world, who were attached to their possessions, and were not willing to cut loose from them, and sacrifice to speed the messengers on their way to feed the hungry sheep who were perishing for want of spiritual food.
Song of Solomon 7:8
@@@^“As I viewed poor souls dying for want of the present truth, and some who professed to believe the truth were letting them die by withholding the necessary means to carry forward the work of God, the sight was too painful, and I begged of the angel to remove it from me. I saw that when the cause of God called for some of their property, like the young man who came to Jesus (Matt. 19:16-22), they went away sorrowful; and that soon the overflowing scourge would pass over and sweep their possessions all away, and then it mould be too late to sacrifice earthly goods, and lay up a treasure in heaven.”—“Early Writings,” pp. 48, 49.
Jeremiah 5:12
@@@^“Look not to other men to see how they conduct themselves under the conviction of the truth, or to ask them for aid. Look not to men in high positions of responsibility for strength, for they are the very men who are in danger of considering a position of responsibility as evidence of God’s special power. Our churches are weak because the members are educated to look to and depend upon human resources, and thousands of dollars are needlessly expended in transporting finite men from one place to another, in order that they may settle little difficulties, when Jesus is ever near to help those who are needy and distressed.”—“Testimonies to Ministers,” p.380.
Jeremiah 10:7
@@@^“‘Those who have not been baptized since 1844 will have to be baptized before Jesus comes. . . . I saw that those who have been baptized as a door into the churches, will have to be baptized as a door into the faith.’—First written, Aug. 24, 1850—‘California Missionary,’ Feb. 10, 1901.”
Jeremiah 10:13
@@@^When a message from the Lord is proclaimed to the church, those who would rather stay with the church than be cast out for the truth’s sake by its unsanctified members are baptized into the church but not into Christ. However, it is possible that we all may have to be rebaptized before Jesus comes and before we become true members of the church “clad in the armor of Christ’s righteousness. . . . ’Fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners’” (“Prophets and Kings,” p. 725), and if so, we shall wait for such commission from Him who said: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.’ ” (Matt. 28:19,20.)
Jeremiah 11:1
@@@^@9Question:@7@^“Please explain ‘Early writings,’ p. 15, about the voice of God announcing the day and the hour of Jesus’ coming, at which time He ‘pours upon’ the saints ‘the Holy Ghost.’ Is this not at the time of the seven last plagues? If so, then how could the ‘latter rain’ be poured out upon God’s people before the close of probation?”
Jeremiah 11:2
@@@^We understand that God will announce the day and the hour of Christ’s coming at the time of the seventh plague, at which time He will pour out His Spirit upon His saints, but this pouring out of His Spirit is not the latter or the former rain of the truth and the power prophesied in Joel 2:23, 28, or in “Early Writings,” p. 85, but rather a special manifestation of God’s Spirit—not to reveal to us either the fullness of or to enable us to proclaim the Gospel Truth, but simply to fit us to see Jesus face to face as He is. These facts are further attested by Joel 2:24, and “Early Writings,” pp. 277, 278.
Jeremiah 11:6
@@@^It is now a proven fact that “the great multitude” of Revelation 7:9, besides the 144,000, are the living saints who will be translated when Jesus comes. John, the Revelator, in what he has written, proves that they serve God in His temple before the close of probation. (See “The Shepherd’s Rod,” Vol. 2, p. 66; our tract No. 1, “Dardanelles of the Bible.”) Therefore, the temple in which they serve Him day and night is the temple (church) on earth in the time of the “Loud Cry,” of which time The Lord says: “And many @9nations@7 shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be My people: and I will @9dwell in the midst of thee@7.” (Zech. 2:11.)
