Page 222 of 3161 Thessalonians 31:1
@@@^The honey-sweetness of Revelation 10:10 standing as it does for great joy resulting from feasting on the Word of God, automatically imparts to the “honey” of Isaiah 7:22 the significance of joy that shall come to @9all@7 who join in eating the “butter” from both the “cow” and the “sheep,” which are now “come fresh.” Only those who so do, shall be “left in the land.”
1 Thessalonians 32:1
@@@^When God promised to lead ancient Israel into a land “flowing with milk and honey,” such a condition did not literally obtain in Canaan, so the expression could only have been metaphorical then finding its fulfillment in the fact that there the prophets did prophecy and write the Scriptures, thus flooding the land with “milk and honey” — truth and joy.
1 Thessalonians 32:2
@@@^Why stay hungry, my brethren, when there is such a boundless supply of soul-nourishing food at your very hand? If your appetite has not become too jaded, come, then, and feed on this fresh “butter and honey.” “Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.” Isa. 55:1. But if, perchance, you have lost your hunger and your taste for truth, call then upon our dispensing representatives. Their services are free of charge and without obligation, and guarantee sure and gratifying results. Do not be like those who still persist in boasting that they have all the truth, and have “need of nothing.” For the reason that God has sent and is still sending such a store of “meat in due season” is to demonstrate that instead of having “need of nothing,” they have need of everything, and that it is their abominations and spiritual destitution which have caused Him to leave
1 Thessalonians 34:4
@@@^The noteworthy fact that both prophets (Isaiah and Mrs. White) are in such accord with each other as to the exact condition the church is in now, lends twofold concurrence in the indictment that the “house of God” has not only become a house of merchandise and a den of thieves but also
1 Thessalonians 35:1
@@@^“With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.” Isa. 7:24. In other words, the vineyard has become so desolate, and so overrun with wild beasts (unconverted men), that if a saint would go into it, he would be compelled to carry with him “arrows” and “bows” (the Word of God) for self-protection (Heb. 4:12).
1 Thessalonians 35:2
@@@^“But His bow abode in strength, and the arms of His hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the Shepherd the Stone of Israel).” Gen. 49:24. “Thy bow was made quite naked, . . . even Thy Word.” Hab. 3:9.
1 Thessalonians 35:3
@@@^Instead, therefore, of the church’s being a refuge, holding out salvation for God’s people, it has become a den of thieves and a place for the sheltering of sinners. For as soon as one is seen giving heed to the Lord’s protest against the abominations, and identifies himself as a reformer, the wild beasts (the unconverted in the church) are either ready to devour him, as they tried to devour Paul (1 Cor. 15:32), or else to drive him out of the churches’ assemblies! Here anyone may readily see why those who are responsible for the abominations are vociferously decrying the doctrine of a @9pure church@7.
1 Thessalonians 35:4
@@@^We need not be surprised at the opposition which God’s servants are receiving from men of learning and position, for thus it has always been; and now, as in former ages, the presentation of a truth that reproves sins and corrects errors will excite opposition. “Every one that doeth evil,” says the Lord, “hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” John 3:20.
1 Thessalonians 36:3
@@@^“Those who differed from the established doctrines have been imprisoned, put to torture and to death, at the instigation of men who claimed to be acting under the sanction of Christ. But it is the spirit of Satan, not the Spirit of Christ, that inspires such acts. This is Satan’s own method of bringing the world under his dominion. God has been misrepresented through the church by this way of dealing with those supposed to be heretics.” — @9Christ’s Object Lessons@7, p. 74.
1 Thessalonians 37:2
@@@^And now because of this, shall we who have the light of Truth betray our trust and shun our responsibilities? “To the servant of God at this time is the command addressed, ‘Lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.’
1 Thessalonians 44:1
@@@^Come, my brethren, while there is an abundance of butter for your upkeep, honey to make you glad, and a “golden bowl” full of “oil” to make you “shine.” Why any longer languish in darkness, starving on husks, when God bids you become friends with His “young cow” and His “two sheep”? But after all, you need for your own sake, not for theirs, to feed on their butter. So come get it, for, says the Lord,
1 Thessalonians 44:3
@@@^Knowing that some would deny the Old Testament and others the New Testament Scriptures, also that still others would doubt the Spirit of Prophecy, God therefore calls attention to all three. The figures, “a young cow and two sheep,” unique in their milk-producing ability, make clear that their product can sustain life for eternity, and that to the “man” who nourishes them are the saints to go for their butter. Then they shall know the difference between
1 Thessalonians 45:1
@@@^One may say, “Yes, I believe in the Spirit of Prophecy, but not as you do.” Yet if what he believes to be the Spirit of Prophecy does not lead him to “keep the commandments of God” and to know that the testimony of Jesus Christ is the ever-active Spirit of Prophecy (Rev. 12:17; 19:10), then he had better forsake that and accept this, for “he that saith I know Him, and keepeth not @9His commandments@7, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:4. Likewise says the Lord: “Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10. “Blessed are they that @9do His commandments @7that they . . . may enter in through the gates into the city.” Rev. 22:14.
1 Thessalonians 47:1
@@@^Having failed by fair means successfully to refute Sister White’s work, some have long been resorting to attacking her character. Do any think that derogation of character makes one’s writings untrue? If so, then what will they do with Balaam’s prophecy concerning Christ our Saviour? The character of this faithless prophet was so degraded that even while he was coveting gain from the wicked king of Moab, he was in deepest hypocrisy offering up sacrifices to God for Him to curse Israel. Yet while engaged in this perfidy, he uttered the most sublime prophecy of Christ:
1 Thessalonians 48:1
@@@^Dare any now repudiate Christ just because a wicked prophet prophesied of His coming? Here, every believer in the Word of God is compelled to admit that Balaam’s covetous character did not make his prophecies false! How, then, could character considerations today, any more than yesterday, justify one’s rejecting the Word of the Lord and thus sinning against the Holy Ghost?
1 Thessalonians 49:1
@@@^They have no more refuted her writings than did the Pharisees refute the teachings of Christ. And as Christ’s enemies could not by their criticisms change His character from holy to unholy, neither can Mrs. White’s adversaries make her crooked if she is straight. As the true follower of Christ cannot, however, afford to waste his time in either running down or defending human beings, our sole purpose, therefore, is to vindicate the Truth of God, and to expose the fact that the opposition has done nothing more than to demonstrate
1 Thessalonians 52:1
@@@^“And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
1 Thessalonians 52:2
@@@^“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth . . . And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands.” Rev. 4:1-6; 5:6, 11.
1 Thessalonians 52:3
@@@^Belonging only in the Sanctuary, the bleeding lamb and seven lamps therefore show that John was given a preview of a prophetic event to take place in the sanctuary above, when the “door” there was to swing “open.” Furthermore, inasmuch as the throne was set up in the sanctuary after the door was opened, there could not have been any throne there previously. Accordingly after His ascension Christ did @9not@7 sit on the sanctuary throne, at the Father’s right hand, but rather on the one where was “a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life.” Rev. 22:1, 2.
1 Thessalonians 53:1
@@@^Remember, before the sanctuary throne is the “sea of glass,” and before the throne of God and the Lamb is “the river . . . of Life.” Now, only a foolish person would attempt to explain that these two thrones (the one of Revelation 22:1, 2 and the other of Revelation 4 and 5) are one and the same, or that Christ, after His ascension, sat on the throne in the sanctuary.
