@@@^By this statement you are making the flesh greater than the Spirit, for you are trying to tell us that the present identified Jewish race who, through their fathers, denied and crucified the Lord, and who in nearly two thousand years have failed to accept Him as their Saviour, are more worthy to be honored to stand with the Lamb on Mt. Zion than are those Jews and their descendants who composed the Christian church in the beginning, and who were willing to die rather than to deny their Lord. The promise is not to those unbaptized Jews and their descendants who are Jews only in name, but to those who are Jews also in faith. In other words, the promise is not to those Jews who sold their birthright for less than a mess of pottage, and who crucified the Lord, but to those Jews who, like Jacob, allowed the Lord to change their name from “Jews” to “Christians,”—natural and spiritual Israel—to those Jews who are born twice. Thus the 144,000 are by their natural birth the descendants of Jacob and, by their spiritual birth, the descendants of Christ: sons of Jacob and sons of God—full-fledged Jews, Israelites indeed. Thus only can the Scriptures be perfectly fulfilled. A Christian Jew who marries a converted Gentile does not yield any Bible principle of his faith, but abides by it..
Matthew 14:1
@@@^Anyone who would interpret Ezekiel 37:16-28 to mean that the gathering together of the tribes of Israel and the joining of them in one kingdom, as revealed in these verses, is the resurrection of the dead, as you think, must have lost nearly all his spiritual discernment. Did not the Lord, in these verses, say to Ezekiel: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen,” not from their graves? Ezek. 37:21. Is He to multiply the dead instead of the living? Or shall the heathen, after the resurrection “know that . . . the Lord” has sanctified Israel? (Ezek. 37:26, 28.) You are accusing me of not having authority to interpret this chapter as it is found in our Tract No. 8, yet at the same time, your interpretation does not carry the authority, nor even good logic. This proves to me that you are trying your best to run away from the truth, without respect to yourself, to God, or to man..
Matthew 14:6
@@@^“And I will sanctify My great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.”
Matthew 14:7
@@@^“Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God.
Matthew 16:5
@@@^Friends, Brother Lipsey’s sudden death again presents the fact that life is uncertain, and that those who expect eternally to enjoy the promises of God, cannot afford to close their ears, or to harden their hearts, when they hear the Master’s still small voice, saying:
Mark 10:12
@@@^In both the Old and the New Testaments, there is brought to view a religious movement organized and led by the Author of the Scriptures, the first of which is an “ensample,” or type, of the second. Both of these movements called God’s people out of a state of bondage, with specific instruction as to how those comprising the organization might free themselves from slavery, and inherit a land of freedom, peace, and plenty. “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” I Cor. 10:11.
Mark 10:13
@@@^Thus the Exodus Movement (the type) from Egypt to Canaan points forward to a movement which the Lord is to launch by the same method as in the type, and which is to free God’s people from all earthly tie—sin and sinners—and lead them to inherit the eternal kingdom.
Mark 11:1
@@@^Thus it is that murmuring, complaining, and doubting have blinded the eyes of many in the Advent movement, causing them to turn back from following Christ their Leader, and steadily to retreat toward Egypt; and thus it is that just as Moses wrote the sad experience of the type, so the founder of the S. D. A. denomination wrote the even sadder experience of the anti-type, saying, “Many had lost sight of Jesus” in 1888; and again, “Doubt and even disbelief of the testimonies of the Spirit of God, is leavening our churches everywhere.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 217.
Mark 11:2
@@@^In other words, just as unbelief on the part of ancient Israel sent them back to wander in the desert until all the guilty ones should die, so in like manner, Seventh-day Adventists turned from the Minneapolis General Conference in 1888 for their wilderness wandering until the guilty ones should either repent or die. May God grant that we, the children of those who have “repeated the history of that people” (Id., p. 160), be admonished by their mistakes, and heed the call of the Eleventh hour.
Mark 11:6
@@@^May every candid mind that makes an unbiased investigation of the Shepherd’s Rod message, have the grace and courage to confess that it contains the very call which is sent forth to bring about that “great reformatory movement among God’s people” (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 9, p. 126), and to give “power and force to the Third Angel’s Message” (“Early Writings,” p. 277), so that, “Clad in the armor of Christ’s righteousness, the church,. . . . ‘fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners,’ may “go into all the world, conquering and to conquer.”—“Prophets and Kings,” p.725.
Mark 11:7
@@@^Thus both the type and the testimonies of the prophets, as well as history, identify the Shepherd’s Rod message as the only one ordained to lead the church, freed from sin and sinners, into the land of Promise, when “the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled” (Lu. 21:24). Also we have the promise: “In the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed.” Dan. 2:44.
Mark 11:11
@@@^As this evil practice speedily multiplied the wickedness of men in those days, “the Lord said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. . . . And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that He had made men on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Me that I have made them . . . And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under Heaven; and everything that is in the earth shall die.” Gen. 6:3, 5-7, 17.
Mark 12:1
@@@^As Jesus looked forward to our day, He said, “For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” Matt. 24:38, 39. Therefore shall not the sons of God in this generation take heed to the example before them, and keep themselves separate from “the daughters of men”?
Mark 12:4
@@@^In contrast to the statement of Luke 18:8 are the words of Isaiah: “For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see they righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. . . . And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.” Isa. 62:1-4, 12. “And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in My wrath I smote thee, but in My favour have I had mercy on thee. Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought;” Isa. 60:10, 11.
Mark 13:5
@@@^As Revelation 7:14 says that the great multitude (the second fruits) “came out of great tribulation,” it is therefore conclusive that the four winds will be held only until the servants of God (the 144,000) are sealed, and that when the winds are loosed and blowing, then will the great multitude be gathered and sealed—thus coming out of “great tribulation,” a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time.” Dan. 12:1.
Mark 14:4
@@@^Though in my work, God has many times spoken to me, saying, Go here or go there, He has never spoken more plainly than when He said, This is the truth, Walk ye in it. Inexpressibly happy as I am that I obeyed, my great concern and hope now is that my example may be such as to encourage all who have heard His Voice saying, “This is the way walk ye in it” quickly to follow Him and that I may be a channel of light to those who are yet in darkness concerning the call of the hour.
Mark 15:2
@@@^Every tree bears fruit after his kind; like begets like. A stream can rise no higher than its source. Likewise they who labor in God’s vineyard can raise their converts no higher spiritually than they are, themselves. This is a very solemn thought, and should lead us to deep searching of heart. When the message is preached by the arguments and wisdom of man without the power and demonstration of the Spirit (1 Cor. 1:17), the hearers of the Word, though intellectually convinced of the arguments, are left unconverted to Christ, with the result that Christ’s salvation is useless to them, and that when He calls them, they know not His Voice.
Mark 15:4
@@@^Today there are many who know all the doctrines of our faith, and who are even able to defend them against any opposition. They profess to be God’s commandment keeping people, but are altogether unacquainted with Jesus Christ. Many who have been in the church for years have never experienced John 3:16 or Rom. 5:1-5.
Mark 15:10
@@@^“How much more power would attend the preaching of the word today, if men dwelt less upon the theories and arguments of men, (I Cor. 1:17) and far more upon the lessons of Christ, and upon practical godliness.”—“Review and Herald,” Jan. 7, 1890; “Christ Our Righteousness,” p. 99.
Mark 15:15
@@@^Whenever men and women who have not experienced the new birth, engage in missionary work for others, they can lead them, not to Christ, but only to the theories of the doctrines. The worker who has not been washed in Jesus’ blood is as a blind man trying to lead the blind, or as a leper trying to heal a leper. Yea, in God’s sight, he may be more guilty than the one for whom he is laboring.
