Ephesians 34:1
@@@^“And their feet” being “straight feet” (Ezek. 1:7), it enabled them to move freely in any direction without turning, so that they “ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning” (Ezek. 1:14). “And the glory of the God of Israel was over them above” (Ezek. 10:19), “and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.” Ezek. 10:21.

@@@^The faces of the cherubim being the same as those of the beasts of the Revelation, they both necessarily have complementary significance the key to which John supplies: “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast @9redeemed us @7to God by @9Thy blood@7 out of @9every kindred,@7 and @9tongue@7, and people, and @9nation@7.” Rev. 5:9.

Ephesians 38:1
@@@^And since it is already here, it must of course be the divine instrumentality through which, as a sort of base of operations, the Lord is ordering and directing His work, and through which He shall do so until “this gospel of the kingdom...be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and...the end come.” Matt. 24:14. “The end” — the unbelievable! to those who say “Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” (2 Pet. 3:4); but the long-looked-for, to those who shall say, “Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him and He will save us” (Isa. 25:9). — Dreadful awful, finality! it should drive all to ascertain

Ephesians 42:2
@@@^“Those who have trusted to intellect, genius, or talent, will not then stand at the head of rank and file. They @9did not@7 keep pace with the light.

Ephesians 43:2
@@@^Receive instruction and learn to obey the word of the Lord, for in so doing He will enable you to do great things in His name.

As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house....all My words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. And go, get thee to them...and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.” Ezek. 3:8-11.

Ephesians 48:4
@@@^Though you have unrighteously ignored the Lord’s written appeal placed in your hands at the General Conference convention in 1930, and have obdurately turned your eyes and your steps away from the additional light of the “Three Angels’ Messages,” yet even more unrighteously you broadcasted (before the meeting with us by the “Conference investigating committee,” on February 19, 1934, at Los Angeles, California) throughout the denomination the false report that you had given us a hearing. But despite this misrepresentation, God still loves you, and we still love you, and He will forgive you and hold nothing against you if you will penitently ask Him to.

Ephesians 50:3
@@@^“The prophet declares, ‘And after these things I saw an angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.’ Brightness, glory, and power are to be connected with the third angel’s message, and conviction will follow wherever it is preached in demonstration of the Spirit. How will any of our brethren know when this light shall come to the people of God?” — @9Review and Herald, April@7 1, 1890.
Ephesians 51:4
@@@^“To hold yourselves aloof from an investigation of truth is @9not@7 the way to carry out the Saviour’s injunction to ‘search the Scriptures.’ Is it digging for hidden treasures to call the results of someone’s labor a mass of rubbish, and make no critical examination to see whether or not there are precious jewels of truth in the collection of thought which you condemn?... Thus it was that the Jews did in the days of Christ, and we are warned not to do as they did, and be led to choose darkness rather than light.... No one of those who imagine that they @9know it all@7 is too old or too intelligent to learn from the humblest of the messengers of the living God.” — @9ld.@7, pp. 65, 66.
Ephesians 53:2
@@@^Though the subject matter of this tract could have been greatly enlarged, it has, for the sake of brevity, been thus compacted, carrying only the key points unlocking the message which is pleading at the doors of God’s dear church.

Philippians 3:1
@@@^In the prophetic words, “Behold, I make all things new” (Rev. 21:5), God warns that “all things” shall wax old. To understand correctly this prophecy, we must bear in mind the fact that for an old thing to be made new, it must first be disintegrated, — reduced to the state of its component elements or parts in which it existed before they were integrated into a composite whole, — then renovated, reprocessed, and finally reintegrated. While such a process, moreover, is in operation, the thing being renewed thereby cannot, of course, until finished, resume its function. During the period of renewal, it is out of commission and out of use.
Philippians 5:1
@@@^“And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
