Page 22 of 562 Samuel 1:6
@@@^We have had many good and encouraging letters from every part of the field both home and abroad. Many have taken up the work as their God-given duty to warn our people of their danger by sending a copy of the SRod Volumes to each one of their friends; distributing our free literature; studying with others; selling the books; and sending us the names. Some of the local church elders have responded to the message and presented the matter to the whole church with good results. Though the response has been disproportionate to the effort put forth, as previously stated, the evidence is such that God has Daniel’s, Shadrach’s, Meshach’s, and Abednego’s, also Gideon’s everywhere awaiting the call. “The Lord has faithful servants, who in the shaking, testing time will be disclosed to view. There are precious ones now hidden who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 T 80.
2 Samuel 2:4
@@@^On many occasions the leadership has disfellowshipped some of the earnest ones, but by no means has it checked the influence of the truth. Indeed this attempt to frighten the people to give up studying the message and working in the lines of reformation has only served to accomplish the very opposite result. We again warn our people to remain faithful to God and follow complete instructions in every move they make. There can be no success in the work of God and He cannot use us if we exercise our wisdom independent of His.
2 Samuel 3:9
@@@^“Time is short. Workers for Christ are needed everywhere. There should be one hundred earnest, faithful laborers in home and foreign mission fields where now there is one. The highways and the byways are yet unworked. Urgent inducements should be held out to those who ought now to be engaged in missionary work for the Master....
2 Samuel 4:4
@@@^@0that has been developed, as though position has made men gods, makes me afraid, and ought to cause fear. It is a curse wherever and by whomsoever it is exercised. This lording it over God’s heritage will create such a disgust of man’s jurisdiction that @9a state of insubordination will result@7. The people are learning that men in high positions of responsibility can not be trusted to mold and fashion other men’s minds and characters. The result will be a loss of confidence even in the management of faithful men. But the Lord will raise up laborers who realize their own nothingness without special help from God.”–T.M. 361.
2 Samuel 4:8
@@@^“Satan will work His miracles to deceive, he will set up his power as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while @9the sinners in Zion will be sifted out@7. The @9chaff is separated@7 from the precious wheat. @9This is a terrible ordeal@7, but nevertheless @9it must take place@7. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb [in faith walking in the light] and the word of their testimony [giving the message] will be found with the loyal and true [144,000], without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouth. The remnant that purify their souls by @9obeying the truth@7 gather strength from the @9trying process@7, exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding apostasy....The @9great issue@7 so near at hand will @9weed out@7 those whom God has not appointed, and He will have a @9pure, true, sanctified ministry@7 prepared @9for the latter@7 rain.”–B-55-1886.
2 Samuel 6:10
@@@^“I have felt for some time that the little tithe I have should go to ‘the storehouse’–where present truth is–so last week I decided to send it, for if the message is of God, we should support it and be willing to suffer for Christ’s sake. Please pray for me that I may be strong in faith.
1 Kings 1:9
@@@^“Now they say we just come to antagonize them, and we want to know what is our duty: should we stop going all together or should we keep on going? It seems that if we never get to go, not only will our own interest suffer, but they will go on sleeping the sleep of death.” @3(Signed) Mrs. Faith Pruett@4Sheridan, Wyoming
1 Kings 2:11
@@@^“Thus it was that once more, because of @9hatred born of bigotry and self-righteousness, a servant of God@7 was driven to turn for protection to the heathen. It was this same hatred that forced the prophet Elijah to flee for succor to the widow of Sarepta; and that forced the heralds of the gospel to turn from the Jews to proclaim their message to the Gentiles. @9And this hatred the people of God living in this age have yet to meet@7. @9Among many of the professing followers of Christ@7, there is the same @9pride, formalism@7, and @9selfishness@7, the same @9spirit of oppression@7, that held so large a place in the Jewish heart. @9In@7 the @9future@7, men claiming to be Christ’s representatives @9will take a course similar@7 to that followed by the priests and rulers in their treatment of @9Christ@7 and @9the apostles@7. In the great crisis through which they are soon to pass, @9the faithful servants of God will encounter the same hardness of heart, the same cruel determination, the same unyielding hatred@7.
1 Kings 3:3
@@@^The S.D.A. church, repeating the history of the Jews (5 T 160), will be swayed by its “priests” and “rulers” today to take a course against “the faithful servants of God” “similar to that followed by the priests and rulers in their treatment of Christ’s and the Apostles’”. As the 144,000 become more and more like their Saviour, “the light of the world,” making manifest the “darkness and error” enveloping the church, the leaders in their “fanatical hatred” of the saints will move “the mob to a mad fury” against them and, in desperation born of blind and raging hatred, will reach out for the civil arm of power to accomplish their evil ends, merging the following type into antitype.
1 Kings 3:7
@@@^Speaking of the S.D.A. church, the Spirit of God says: “Who can truthfully say, ‘Our gold is tried in the fire; our garments are unspotted by the world’? I saw our instructor pointing to the garments of so-called righteousness. Stripping them off, He laid bare the defilement beneath. Then He said to me: ‘Can you not see how they have pretentiously covered up their defilement and rottenness of character? ‘How is the faithful city become an harlot?’ My Father’s house is made a @9house of merchandise@7, a place whence the @9divine presence and glory have departed@7! For this cause there is weakness, and strength is lacking.”’ 8 T 250.
1 Kings 4:7
@@@^“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, @9that He may exalt you in due time@7: casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking @9whom@7 he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that @9the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren@7 that are in the world. But the God of all grace, Who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Pet. 5:6-11.)
1 Kings 7:6
@@@^“In reading our ‘Symbolic Code’ news items, I notice that you have an employment agency, and I would appreciate it very much if you could help me in some way find work, for I cannot get any here unless I work on the Sabbath, which I cannot do, because I mean to be faithful to the Lord even if I have to go hungry.
2 Kings 1:6
@@@^To build the “fort,” to cast the ‘mount,” to set the “camp,” and the “battering rams” will require a fearless band of Gideonites who will not bow down to their knees for a drink. (Jud. 7:2-7.) God’s ancient people, while building the tabernacle, the two temples, and in the days of the apostles, responded to their call very faithfully. But shall we now in the end of this world, while making history that will stand for eternity, draw back or do less? God has bestowed upon us greater blessings than He has upon any other people at any time. Shall we therefore by our deeds fail to show to Him that we appreciate His great gift as much as they? Let every reader of the Code answer this question to himself.
2 Kings 2:9
@@@^@@Beloved Brethren in Present Truth:-@^The many letters of encouragement received during the past several weeks, most of which indicated that you were praying earnestly that the Lord would guide His servants in wisdom and counsel while seeking a central location for headquarters from which to operate the work of proclaiming the message to the church, have been greatly appreciated by all and especially by those who have been spying out the land, as it were, and we are happy indeed to bring to you a good report and a few grapes from this trip and, in the language of the faithful ones of old, we can say, “We are well able?” to take the city, but we know this can be done only as we do as those two warriors of old did, namely: “follow the Lord fully.”
2 Kings 6:9
@@@^The reading so far has led me to look back over the experiences of my life and to see the truthfulness of all that the SRod says regarding the S.D.A. denomination....I know by experience as a boy and in the years since how the doctrinalistic, Christless manner of teaching the precious doctrines of our faith put me in black despair and caused me to settle down in a hopeless state and remain that way for a long time. . . .
1 Chronicles 2:5
@@@^In fulfillment of this parable, it was found among our governmental number, who left California on May 19th and arrived on the 24th at the new location that we were not only poor but also badly crippled. Four of us have the use of one hand only two with permanent injury besides other deformities and afflictions over the entire caravan. Yet our faith has never failed, for we are constantly trusting in the One Who is “taking the reins in His own hands.”–“Testimonies for the Church,” p. 80. Hence it is said, “Who hath despised the day of small things?” (Zech. 4:10.)
1 Chronicles 2:9
@@@^There was one ordained minister in the company, also one who has never professed the Adventist faith but believes that we have a message, which symbolically proves that not only the poor, and the sick from the “streets and lanes” are represented by the company of twelve, but the ministry as well, and also the heathen from the “highways and hedges.” So again we thank the Lord that, by a significant object lesson in the founders of “Mt. Carmel Center,” He expresses His desire to save the laity as well as the ministry and the heathen who may respond to the eleventh hour call which is to be heralded from this central location.
1 Chronicles 6:3
@@@^Sister Faith Pruett of Sheridan, Wyoming, speaking of the hatred which has been sown in the hearts of many of the members of the S.D.A. church against those who have accepted the message contained in the SRod, telling how the doors of the church have been closed against them, and the longing in her heart to worship in the little church of her choice, says in part:
1 Chronicles 6:7
@@@^“When they were through they came back, turned on the lights, unlocked the door, and I went out. Poor souls, I don’t see how we can ever reach them! How I do thank the Lord for the showers of truth that He is sending. O, I long for more faith in the power of God to save me from sin!”
1 Chronicles 7:1
@@@^One of the striking statements concerning our influence, and one which emphasizes the fact that we are indeed a “spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men” is found on page 23 of Vol. 9 of the “Testimonies for the Church,” and reads as follows: “The world is watching Seventh-day Adventists, because it knows something of their profession of faith, and of their high standard, and when it sees those who do not live up to their profession, it points at them with scorn.”
