@@@^When Moses wrote the first part of the Bible, he was not given light to write the whole Truth which God intended to reveal to His people through the ages. With each approaching hour for the Truth to advance came first one prophet then another in the long succession ending with John the Baptist. Then came Christ, the apostles, the reformers, and Sister White, each one in turn teaching and writing truths which could not be borne out by the writings of any one predecessor alone. To find the whole Truth, the writings of all must be collaborated.
2 Corinthians 22:11
@@@^The reason which Moses assigns for its observance is that it is to commemorate Israel’s coming out of Egypt (Deut. 16:1-3), whereas John the Baptist imputes its significance to the coming of Christ, “the Lamb of God” (John 1:29), and the apostles, to His crucifixion, “for even Christ our passover,” says Paul, “is sacrificed for us.”’ 1 Cor. 5:7. And the significance of keeping the Passover, they attach to the ordinance of the Lord’s supper (I Cor. 11: 23-29).
2 Corinthians 22:13
@@@^Failing to advance with the advancing Truth, the Jews found fault with the prophets and the apostles, even with the Son of God Himself, justifying their criminal actions on the ground that the claims of the prophets, of Christ, and of the apostles were unfounded in Moses’ writings. And while boasting of his writings, they denied and killed the prophets who came after him—a solemn warning to us! lest doing as they did, we meet their fate.
2 Corinthians 22:17
@@@^The @9Rod@7 teaches, not that Jerusalem is to be rebuilt as the capitol city of the Kingdom, but that the Kingdom in its beginning is to be set up in the promised land. And in confirmation of the truth that God’s people are again to become a kingdom, Ezekiel prophesies of
2 Corinthians 23:6
@@@^The Bible says: “In the days of these kings [the kings that are symbolized by the ten toes of the great image], shall the God of heaven set up a Kingdom, which shall never be destroyed. . . .@9 It shall break in pieces@7 and consume @9all these kingdoms@7.” Dan. 2:44.
2 Corinthians 23:15
@@@^Though the gospel of love inspires us to love the Lord, the doctrines teach us the right way to love Him, and the light of the prophecies guides our feet in the straight and narrow path along the way to the city of God, just as at night the lights of an automobile show the way home. Thus while we need the one, we just as much need the other. The @9Rod@7 therefore combines both, teaching the love of Jesus through the doctrines, and the way to the Holy City through the prophecies.
Galatians 3:1
@@@^“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 thy 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.” Isa. 62:1-3.
Galatians 3:2
@@@^Wonder of divine love! Fruition of the “exceeding precious promise” that God will continue speaking unto her until she become a great and powerful and resplendent light in all the world and “a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord” — the church is seen
Galatians 10:2
@@@^Since, therefore, history, logic, and scripture combine their evidences to prove unconditionally that God has preserved the genealogy of the chosen branch of the human race forward from Adam to Noah (Matt. 1:1-17), and backward from Jesus to Adam (Luke 3:23-38), He must, then, for a consistent reason, also have preserved the identity of the elect today. And this we see, is precisely what He has done in His designating the lineage of the 144,000, as “of all the tribes of the children of Israel.” Rev. 7:4. And though we know not what we are, and cannot ever of ourselves tell, the One Who knows all about us, even to the last hair of each head, knows our precise ancestry, although those of us who are to be gathered from the seed of Jacob are, says the prophet, as the sand of the sea,” whereas, comparatively speaking, the identifiable Jewish race of today, is but a handful to the nations, and therefore cannot today be the ones to whom apply
Galatians 11:1
@@@^Going back for a moment to the historical approach to our subject, we recall that after Solomon’s death, the Israelite nation (the twelve tribes) was divided into two separate kingdoms (1 Kings 11:11, 12; 12:19, 27). The ten-tribe kingdom, occupying the northern portion of the promised land, was called “Israel,” also Ephraim, and occasionally the house of Joseph: “Israel,” because of its majority of tribes; Ephraim (Isa. 11:13), because its kings came from Ephraim; and Joseph (Ezek. 37:16), because he was the father of Ephraim. But the two-tribe kingdom, occupying the southern portion, was called “Judah,” because its kings were of the tribe of Judah, and therefore its descendants are called “Jews.” The term “Israel,” accordingly, often applies only to the ten tribes. So when henceforth in these pages, the reader comes upon the terms, “Judah,” “Israel,” “Ephraim,” and “Joseph,” he will understand precisely who they are designating, and will thus, as we proceed, better understand God’s plan for the ingathering of the twelve tribes of Israel, and for reuniting them in
Galatians 12:1
@@@^“The kingdom of heaven” said Christ, “is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.” Matt. 13:31, 32. “Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not My people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.” Hos. 1:10.
Galatians 13:2
@@@^Having abode “many days without a king” (their lot from the days of their captivity in Babylon even to this very day), “the children of Israel shall . . . afterward” (sometime in the future), says the scripture, “ . . . return, and seek the Lord their God, and David their king; and shall fear the Lord and His goodness in the latter days.” Hos. 3:4, 5.
Galatians 14:2
@@@^“And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in @9Mine hand@7. @8@0[@9Picture of the Two Sticks@7]
Galatians 17:1
@@@^“Moreover,” saith the Lord, “I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.” Ezek. 37:26-28.
Galatians 17:2
@@@^Since God says that He will “@9multiply@7 them” when they again become a kingdom, and that “the heathen shall know that I the Lord do @9sanctify@7 Israel,” and since He can neither “multiply” nor “sanctify” after the close of probation, the two ancient kingdoms must necessarily, then, be restored and consolidated during probationary time —
Galatians 17:3
@@@^The 144,000 being the “firstfruits,” there must therefore be second fruits, for where there is first, there must also be second. And as the first fruits are the “servants of God,” they must subsequently be sent to all nations to gather the second fruits (Isa. 66:19, 20) — the great multitude (Rev. 7:9) which John saw after viewing the sealing of the 144,000. (For a detailed study of this subject, — the 144,000 and the great multitude,—see our Tract No. 1, @9Pre-eleventh Hour Extra!; The Shepherd’s Rod@7, Vol. 1).
Galatians 18:1
@@@^The fact that “in their mouth was found no guile” (Rev. 14:5), plainly goes to show that they are to proclaim nothing but pure gospel truth, and makes their words as authoritative and as mandatory as the written words of the prophets and of the apostles. Indeed these first fruits are invested with even greater power and authority: “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.” Zech. 12:8.
Galatians 18:4
@@@^And “it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.” Zech. 13:2. That is, at the time that this gospel-proclaiming kingdom is set up, it will be a church without guile — free from all idolaters and false teachers. And it shall be fed by “one shepherd . . . even My servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them.” Ezek. 34:23, 24.
Galatians 19:1
@@@^When the Lord thus takes “the reigns in His own hands” (@9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 300), and again rules the church as a theocratic government (in the last days), “it shall come to pass,” as says Isaiah, “ . . . that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” Isa. 2:2-4.
Galatians 20:2
@@@^No Christian of any faith can honestly deny the church’s need of purification. And as the Lord never does anything without forewarning His church, He is now sending to her the message of purification, in order to give her a foretaste of future glory, so that as heaven’s clarion call to reformation continues sounding forth among His people, they may have a keen relish for its truth, and may give themselves wholeheartedly to the work of reform, right now while He is clearly laying before them His plan for the setting up of His kingdom with consequent results to the sinners. Those who give implicit heed to the call, shall have an irresistible desire to come fully into line and to have the Lord separate them from sin and sinners. They alone shall receive the seal of God and as the first fruits of the kingdom, 144,000 strong, stand with the Lamb on “Mount Zion”!
