@@@^Thus it is that “only those who have been diligent students of the Scriptures, and who have received the love of the truth, will be shielded from the powerful delusion that takes the world captive. By the Bible testimony these will detect the deceiver in his disguise . . . Are the people of God now so firmly established upon His word that they would not yield to the evidence of their senses? Would they, in such a crisis, cling to the Bible, and the Bible only?” @9The Great Controversy@7, p. 625.
Philippians 68:2
@@@^In the first instance, the bad are cast out from among the good that are caught in the net (the message reposing in the church); whereas in the second instance, only God’s faithful are called out from among the sinners in Babylon, there being no tares among them.
Philippians 68:4
@@@^Babylon’s dominion being symbolized by the scarlet-colored beast, the beast upon which sits the woman (Rev. 17), the symbolization is therefore representative of an international religious-political sys- tem. The religious aspect is symbolized by the woman; the civil aspect, by the horns of the beast: in combination, a symbolical prediction of a world-wide system of church and state union. The beast alone, exclusive of the horns, represents, as do the beasts of Daniel 7, the world’s multitudes — the subjects of antitypical Babylon from among whom God’s people are called. This gathering constitutes the separation of the second fruits.
Philippians 69:3
@@@^“But this shall be the covenant,” declares the Lord, concerning this glorious truth of the kingdom, “that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall @9all know@7 Me, from the least of them unto the @9greatest@7 of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jer. 31:33, 34.
Philippians 71:2
@@@^4. At the close of the seventh plague, the Lord, Himself, visible to every eye (Rev. 1:7), “shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we
Philippians 72:1
@@@^This stirring hope of every Christian is beautifully foreshadowed in the translation of Enoch (Gen. 5:24), the translation of Elijah (2 Kings 2:11), and the resurrection of the multitude whom Christ led on high (Matt. 27:52, 53; Eph. 4:8) — a threefold typification in triple accord with God’s law of type that where there is type, there must also be anti-type.
Philippians 73:1
@@@^The fact that all these events close with the second coming of Christ, also the facts that the prophecies plainly declare that God will gather all His people from among the nations, call forth His Own from their graves, catch up all the redeemed — both the living and the resurrected — to meet Him in the air and to go with Him to the mansions which He has been preparing for them ever since His ascension, destroy all the wicked, leave the earth empty without life or light, then make it void and without form, and finally, let not the dead live again until the thousand years are finished, — all these facts make manifest that the earth is to be in a state of chaos while the saints “live and reign” with Christ in heaven during the thousand years.
Philippians 74:1
@@@^Looking forward to the resurrection after the millennium, the Revelator saw that the wicked “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 . . . This is the second death.” Rev. 20:9, 10, 14.
Philippians 74:4
@@@^“Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.” 1 Tim. 1:4. “Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.” Tit. 1:14. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Tim. 4:3, 4.
Philippians 75:1
@@@^“ . . . My speech and my preaching,” says the apostle Paul, “was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Cor. 2:4, 5.
Colossians 31:3
@@@^If any one of the two luminary planets should be honored to govern the holy Sabbath, it should be the sun, the one which rules not only the moon but also the entire system. Had God intended the moon to be the time regulator and indicator, the system would have been entitled @9lunar@7 instead of @9solar@7. Had He, moreover, intended the moon to fix the time of the holy Sabbath, He would have made it to complete its revolution round the earth, if not once in exactly 4 weeks, then once in exactly a whole week, or in exactly a day. And had He, furthermore, intended for the sun to point out the holy time, the earth must, then, have completed her revolution round it in exactly 52 weeks.
Colossians 32:1
@@@^We shall now briefly bring forth existing solar, lunar, and Biblical facts, not implications, that the weekly cycle cannot be and has never been controlled by any monthly calendar; that neither the Old nor the New Testament church under God’s direction has at any time kept a lunar seventh-day sabbath; that the booklet, @9The Sabbath of Creation@7, is falsely so-entitled, and that
Colossians 35:1
@@@^This analysis corroborates the fact that the weekly cycle cannot be governed by the motion of either the moon or the sun, but only by the power of God, which brought forth the first day of creation, three days before there was either sun or moon. And so, as we are again shown, the Sabbath is a memorial, not of the sun or the moon, but of creation.
Colossians 38:1
@@@^Though the nations of today do not follow the Biblical monthly calendar, that in no wise alters the fact that the original weekly cycle has never been changed. And as it is entirely independent of both the solar and the lunar calendars had God not preserved it intact throughout all the ages, the saints, now in “the times of restitution of all things,” would have great difficulty to restore it and to vindicate its integrity. Thus it is seen from every test put to it, that such a lunar sabbath is unbiblical and unhistorical and the closer it is brought to the light, the plainer it will be seen to be
Colossians 40:2
@@@^Follow the leadership of God instead of the leadership of the moon. Be ye not idolators, for “ . . . 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.
Colossians 41:4
@@@^The questioner is obviously correct as to the reason for the many winds of doctrine blowing today. And in view of this confusion of voices his fears concerning listening to them are understandable, and makes the more commendable his determination to discharge his God-imposed responsibility of personal investigation:
Colossians 42:1
@@@^“Thus saith the Lord, @9Stand ye in the ways@7, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” Jer. 6:16. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but @9try the spirits @7whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1.
Colossians 43:3
@@@^The author of this statement contends that though God’s ancient people submerged as the kingdom of Israel, they have emerged today as the kingdom of Great Britain. But speaking of the Israelitish Kingdom and its people, the Spirit of Prophecy, in ancient time, said:
Colossians 43:4
@@@^“Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.” “A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. Thus shall Mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in My zeal, when I have accomplished My fury in them. Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by . . . “Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations . . . ” “I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until He come Whose right it is; and I will give it Him.” Ezek. 5:12-14, 8, 9; 21:27.
Colossians 45:3
@@@^These scriptures plainly set forth the fact that God was to scatter Israel throughout the nations, leave them without a king or a home-land for “many days,” and finally gather them one by one from every nation. At that time shall they choose David their king, and be “the holy people.” Isa. 62:12.
