Lamentations 6:4
@@@^If the time of trouble or the anger of the nations, which is caused by the union of church and state (the image of the beast), takes place in the time of the judgment of the living, as explained in former publications, the enforcement of the “Blue Sunday law” must take place after the purification of the church. The Bible says, “The dragon. . . went to make war with the remnant of her seed, @9which@7 keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus.” (Rev. 12:17.)
Lamentations 6:10
@@@^Christ ate the Passover with the twelve on the fifteenth day of the first month (in the end of the fourteenth day), and after being seized by the mob, He was led before the priests, who spent with Him the entire day of the fifteenth (Thursday), from early morning until late in the evening. Then early the following morning, right after midnight, its now being the sixteenth day, and about the sixth hour ancient time (John 19:14), they brought Him before Pilate, and after trying Him both before this wicked ruler and Herod, He was delivered back to the Jews, who crucified Him at the third hour (Mark 15:25) same day. Three hours later, while hanging on the cross, at the sixth hour of the day (noon, our time), the sun was darkened (Mark 15:33), and at the ninth hour (Matt. 27:46), six hours after being nailed to the cross, and three hours after the sun was darkened, Jesus died (Matt. 27:50), and the sun again began to shine (Mark 15:33, 34), its then being three P. M. our time. Before sundown that same day, they buried Him (Luke 23:52, 54), and having rested in His tomb over the Sabbath, He was resurrected early Sunday morning, the eighteenth day of the first month. (See Matt. 28:1,2; John 20:1; Mark 16:9, and the illustration in the December, 1934, Code, p. 6.)
Ezekiel 3:2
@@@^As ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ, “in the closing work for the church, in the sealing time of the 144,000,” our work, especially at this most critical time, is not to collect money for God, but to lead the blind to Him through presenting the message of Present Truth, thus preparing a people to meet their Lord, Who shall soon appear with power and great glory,” “shake the heavens and the earth,” “overthrow the throne of kingdoms,” and “destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen.” (Luke 21:27; Haggai 2:21-22.)
Ezekiel 4:6
@@@^There exists among us no enmity, animosity, or ill feelings toward any of our Modernist S. D. A. brethren, and there is no such thing among us Fundamentalists as race, language, caste, or color prejudice for we believe with the apostle Paul that we are all the children of Adam, the “seed of Abraham,” adopted into the family of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ezekiel 5:2
@@@^“The love of Christ, the love of our brethren, will testify to the world that we have been with Jesus and learned of Him. Then will the message of the third angel swell to a loud cry, and the whole earth will be lightened with the glory of the Lord.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 6, p. 401.
Ezekiel 9:8
@@@^“Let the church appoint pastors and elders who are devoted to the Lord Jesus, and let these men see that officers are chosen who will attend faithfully to the work of gathering in the tithe. If the pastors show that they are not fitted for their charge, if they fail to set before the church the importance of returning to God His own, if they do not see to it that the officers under them are faithful, and that the tithes are brought in they are in peril. They are neglecting a matter which involves a blessing or a curse to the church. They should be relieved of their responsibility, and other men should be tested and tried. The Lord’s messengers should see that His requirements are faithfully discharged by the members of the church.”—Supplement to “Review and Herald,” Dec. 1, 1866.
Ezekiel 14:4
@@@^To a widely circulated report by the father of lies that she has given up the message of Present Truth, and has gone into the world, Sister H. W. Kennedy, formerly of La Crescenta, California, and now of Augusta, Georgia, replies with the following statement: “As we have just moved and are still in a rush getting things straight, I would only say, with the disciples whom Jesus asked if they too would leave Him, ‘Where would we go, Master’?”
Daniel 4:12
@@@^“In a divided, half-hearted life, you will find doubt and darkness. You cannot enjoy the consolations of religion, neither the peace which the world gives. Do not sit down in Satan’s easy-chair of do-little, but arise, and aim at the elevated standard which it is your privilege to attain. It is a blessed privilege to give up all for Christ. Look not at the lives of others and imitate them and rise no higher. You have only one true, unerring Pattern. It is safe to follow Jesus only. Determine that if others act on the principle of the spiritual sluggard you will leave them, and march forward toward the elevation of Christian character. Form a character for Heaven. Sleep not at your post. Deal faithfully and truly with your own soul.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, p. 241.
Daniel 6:13
@@@^The Tabernacle building and the animals for sacrifices were of as great importance in the worship of God and the carrying on of the Gospel at that time, as is the sale of Gospel literature and the writing of missionary letters at this time, yet God restricted the Children of Israel from working on the Sabbath, while they were erecting the Tabernacle for His service, and Jesus with small cords drove from the temple those who were buying and selling, although the animals being bought and sold, were to be used in God’s sacred service. (Jno. 2:15.)
Hosea 8:4
@@@^“The ‘A Word to the Little Flock,” p. 12, places in post-probationary time ‘the day and night cry’ of the saints, represented by the angel’s cry to Jesus in Revelation 14:14, 15, thus making the saints to cry day and night in a time when they were ‘in the sight of a holy God without an intercessor.’ Speaking of this time, ‘Early Writings,” pp. 280, 281 says, ‘The last tear for sinners had been shed, the last agonizing prayer offered.’
Hosea 8:5
@@@^“There seems to be a contradiction between ‘A Word to the Little Flock’ and ‘Early Writings,” the one’s stating that after the close of probation ‘the saints will cry day and night to Jesus,” and the other’s stating that ‘in that fearful time . . . the saints were living in the sight of a holy God without an intercessor,” thus making it appear that they could not cry to Christ—offer any more prayers for deliverance. Please explain.”
Joel 6:4
@@@^“Persons who thus pledge to their fellowmen, do not generally think of asking to be released from their pledges. A vow made to God, the giver of all favors, is of still greater importance; then why should we seek to be released from our vows to God? Will man consider his promise less binding because made to God? Because his vow will not be put to trial in courts of justice, is it less valid? Will a man who professes to be saved by the blood of the infinite sacrifice of Jesus Christ, ‘rob God’? Are not his vows and his actions weighed in the balances of justice in the heavenly courts?
Joel 10:7
@@@^“There seems to be a contradiction between ‘A Word to the Little Flock’ and ‘The Shepherd’s Rod’ in the following statements: ‘Michael’s standing up (Dan. 12:1) to deliver His people . . . will not take place, until Jesus . . . puts on His most kingly robes, and crown, to ride forth on the cloudy chariot’.—‘A Word to the Little Flock,’ p. 12, and ‘The trouble that is to come at the time that Michael stands up, is not the trial, or trouble of the saints; but it is a trouble of the nations of the earth, caused by “seven last plagues.” ’—Ibid. p. 9, whereas, tract No. 3, ‘The Harvest,’ p. 17, says, ‘the trouble described here [Dan. 12:1] will commence before the work of the gospel is finished.’ How can these statements be harmonized?”
Amos 6:5
@@@^Jesus’ statement found in Mark 9:12 proves that before He appears the second time, someone—antitypical Elijah—“cometh first, and restoreth all things.” Hence, the dominion and all that was lost must be restored in the time of Elijah’s message, yea even the curses of the earth must then be removed: “In that day,” saith the Lord, “will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. And I will betroth thee unto Me forever; yea, I will betroth thee unto Me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.” (Hos. 2:18, 19.)
Amos 7:11
@@@^Upon the occasion of the Pharisees’ questioning Christ, after their characteristic fashion, as touching the sacred institution of marriage, “Jesus pointed His hearers back to the . . . institution as ordained at creation. . . . He referred them to the blessed days of Eden, when God pronounced all things ‘very good.’ Then marriage and the Sabbath had their origin, twin institutions for the glory of God in the benefit of humanity. Then, as the Creator joined the hands of the holy pair in wedlock, saying, ‘A man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one,’ [Gen. 2:24], He enunciated the law of marriage for all the children of Adam @9to the close of time@7. That which the eternal Father Himself had pronounced good, was the law of highest blessing and development for man.”—“Mount of Blessing,” pp. 99, 100. Furthermore, the fact that a doctrine which forbids marriages is a doctrine of devils (I Tim. 4:1-3), shows not only that marriage is an everlasting institution, but also that in the time of the restitution of all things, it is of great import, for were it not so, the devils would not waste a moment in attacking it.
Amos 15:3
@@@^“Some, in abstaining from milk, eggs, and butter, have failed to supply the system with proper nourishment, and as a consequence have become weak and unable to work. Thus health reform is brought into disrepute. The work that we have tried to build up solidly is confused with strange things that God has not required, and the energies of the church are crippled. But God will interfere to prevent the results of these too strenuous ideas. The gospel is to harmonize the sinful race. It is to bring the rich and poor together at the feet of Jesus.
Obadiah 7:8
@@@^The Lord further says: “In order to advance the cause of God, means are necessary.” However, “it is not the plan of God to rain down means from heaven in order that His cause may be sustained,” (“Testimonies for the. Church,” Vol. 2, p. 660), but rather that all “shall arouse, and lay their prayers, their wealth, and all their energies and resources, at the feet of Jesus, . . .” Then “the cause of truth will triumph.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, p. 475.
Obadiah 8:9
@@@^“The Lord would have painstaking efforts made in the education of our children. True missionary work done by teachers who are daily taught of God would bring many souls to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus; and children thus educated will impart to others the light and knowledge received. Shall the members of the church give means to advance the cause of Christ among others, and leave their own children to carry on the work and service of Satan?”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 6, p. 217.
Obadiah 12:2
@@@^“I am very thankful for the SRod message that has helped me to draw closer to Jesus. I am studying the message, and am happy to be a Shepherd’s Rod Seventh-day Adventist. I want to be at Mt. Carmel, but I love to read the letters that come from this center even if I do not have the privilege of being there just now.” @3(Signed) Buster McTyre,@4age 8
