@@@^The @9Code@7 agrees that according to Genesis 5:1 the evening truly is the first part of the day. For example, Friday night is the first part of Saturday, and Saturday night the first part of Sunday. This Bible fact was recognized by God’s people all along the way. But from early in Bible time to this very day, the term “at even” has been used to designate the last part of the day—the afternoon (Ex. 12:6; 16:13; Mark 14:12, 13, 15, 17; John 20:19). Thus this terminology, though in common use, does not in any wise alter the fact that the @9night@7 which follows the “at even” period and precedes the day, is to be reckoned as the first part of the twenty-four-hour cycle, for “the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Gen. 1:31. It is in this light that the statement on page 17 of @9Tract No@7. 10, is to be understood.
2 Timothy 21:6
@@@^Brother ———————- did not intend to convey the impression that there is no gift of healing among God’s people now, but simply that the great miracles of healing, such as were wrought in the time of the early Christian church, are yet future.
Titus 1:1
@@@^Provisional in set-up as well as in name, the Davidian Seventh-day Adventist Association exists solely to accomplish a divinely appointed work within the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, wherein it therefore strictly confines its activities. As its work therewithin draws to a close, and the “servants of our God” (Rev. 7:3) are sealed, its name will be changed (Isa. 56:5; 62:2; 65:15) and its purpose and its work will become all-embracing to the gospel (Matt. 17:11; Acts 3:21, Isa. 61:4-7). Then its Constitution and By-Laws as herein codified will become fully operative.
Titus 5:1
@@@^Section 1. The object of this Association is to bring about among God’s people that reformation called for in the @9Testimonies for the Church,@7 Volume 9, page 126, as the prerequisite movement to sounding the “Eleventh-Hour Call” (Matt. 20:6, 7) of “the everlasting gospel...to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.” Rev. 14:6. Through this call, the Loud Cry of the three angels’ messages, it is to gather “the people of the saints of the Most High” (Dan. 7:27) into the kingdom “which shall never be destroyed...but...shall break in pieces and consume all...kingdoms.” Dan. 2:44. Thus it shall usher in the reign of Christ as Lord of lords and King of kings over all the earth forever and ever.
Titus 10:4
@@@^(a) The Davidian Seventh-day Adventists shall recognize only the Scriptural law of ordination, to wit: (1) that the call to the gospel ministry must come from God to the individual, and that (2) it must be followed in strict fidelity to the requirements of gospel order, as enunciated in Luke, chapter ten, verses three to nine; Matthew, chapter ten, verses five to eleven; and First Timothy, chapter three, verses one to seven.
Titus 12:2
@@@^Thus raised of necessity, not of choice, this Association within the Seventh-day Adventist organization is ordained to the work of a threefold end: (1) It is to go to the house of “Israel and Judah” (Ezek. 9:9), and “say to them that were bidden, Come, for all things are now ready.” Luke 14:17. And though they who first hear the call may excuse themselves (Luke 14:18-20), “the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind” from “the streets and lanes of the city” (Luke 14:21, 22) will respond. (2) Accordingly, it is to implement that “great reformatory movement” and purification called for “among God’s people.” — @9Testimonies for the Church@7, Vol. 5, page 80; Vol. 9, page 126. With the consequent fruits of this work, the @9first@7 of the harvest, it is to usher in the Kingdom (Mic. 4:1, 2). (3) Then with a loud cry it is to “go into the highways and hedges” (Luke 14:23), preaching “the everlasting gospel...unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people” (Rev. 14:6), “baptizing...in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe @9all@7 things whatsoever” Christ commanded (Matt. 28: 19, 20). With the consequent fruits of this work, the @9second@7 of the harvest, it is to enlarge the Kingdom until it fills the whole earth (Dan. 2:35).
Titus 13:1
@@@^Thus in demonstrating “through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God” (Rom. 15:19), the mighty power of the Kingdom, it is to give universal witness that Christ is with His church “alway, even unto the end of the world.” Matt. 28:20.
Titus 13:2
@@@^Prophetically called into the Lord’s vineyard at “the eleventh hour,” The Davidian Seventh-day Adventists are proclaiming the Present Truth revealed in the unrolling of the prophetic scroll (@9Testimonies for the Church@7, Vol. 6, p. 17). Its momentous truths “open to those who lay hold of the divine assurances of God’s Word,” “wonderful possibilities” and “privileges and duties which they do not even suspect to be in the Bible.” — @9Testimonies for the Church@7, Vol. 8, p. 322.
Titus 14:2
@@@^Accordingly, this reformatory association, intestine to the Seventh-day Adventist organization, embraces an all-inclusive Scriptural fundamentalism. And it is necessarily endowed with Constitution and By-laws embodying the governmental principles and system of the fourfold succession of the Exodus movement, the Davidian monarchy, the Judges, and the Apostles, as illuminated by @9The Spirit of Prophecy@7 in the following passages revealing that God is the center of authority and that men of His appointment are the administrators of His law:
Titus 16:1
@@@^“Later, when choosing seventy elders to share with him the responsibilities of leadership, Moses was careful to select as his helpers, men possessing dignity, sound judgment, and experience. In his charge to these elders at the time of their ordination, he outlined some of the qualifications that fit a man to be a wise ruler in the church. ‘Hear the causes between your brethren,’ said Moses, ‘and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great, ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s.” — @9The Acts of the Apostles@7, pp. 93, 94.
Titus 17:1
@@@^“To Solomon, as one called to occupy a position of leading responsibility, David gave a special charge: ‘Thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek Him, He will be found of thee, but if thou forsake Him, He will cast thee off forever. Take heed now; for the Lord hath chosen thee:...be strong.’” — @9The Acts of the Apostles@7, pp. 94, 95.
Titus 18:1
@@@^“The care exercised by Ezra in providing for the transportation and safety of the Lord’s treasure, teaches a lesson worthy of thoughtful study. Only those whose trustworthiness had been proved, were chosen; and they were instructed plainly regarding the responsibility resting on them. In the appointment of faithful officers to act as treasurers of the Lord’s goods, Ezra recognized the necessity and value of order and organization in connection with the work of God.” — @9Prophets and Kings@7, pp. 616, 617.
Titus 20:1
@@@^“The appointment of the seven to take the oversight of special lines of work, proved a great blessing to the church. These officers gave careful consideration to individual needs as well as to the general financial interests of the church; and by their prudent management and their godly example, they were an important aid to their fellow-officers in binding together the various interests of the church into a united whole.
Titus 23:2
@@@^“In all the journeyings of Israel, ‘the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them,...to search out a resting place for them.’ Borne by the sons of Kohath, the sacred chest containing God’s holy law was to lead the van. Before it went Moses and Aaron; and the priests, bearing silver trumpets, were stationed near. These priests received directions from Moses, which they communicated to the people by the trumpets. It was the duty of the leaders of each company to give definite directions concerning all the movements to be made, as indicated by the trumpets. Whoever neglected to comply with the directions given, was punished with death.” — @9Patriarchs and Prophets@7, pp. 374, 375, 376.
Titus 25:3
@@@^“’There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: but all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.’” — @9The Acts of the Apostles@7, pp. 90-92.
Titus 26:1
@@@^“The order that was maintained in the early Christian church, made it possible for them to move forward solidly, as a well-disciplined army, clad with the armor of God. The companies of believers, though scattered over a large territory, were all members of one body; all moved in concert, and in harmony with one another. When dissension arose in a local church, as later it did arise in Antioch and elsewhere, and the believers were unable to come to an agreement among themselves, such matters were not permitted to create a division in the church but were referred to a general council of the entire body of believers, made up of appointed delegates from the various local churches, with the apostles and elders in positions of leading responsibility. Thus the efforts of Satan to attack the church in isolated places, were met by concerted action on the part of all, and the plans of the enemy to disrupt and destroy were thwarted.” — @9Id.@7, pp. 95, 96.
Titus 31:2
@@@^“Jealousy had given rise to envy, and envy to rebellion. They had discussed the question of the right of Moses to so great authority and honor until they had come to regard him as occupying a very enviable position, which any of them could fill as well as he. And they deceived themselves and one another into thinking that Moses and Aaron had themselves assumed the positions they held. The discontented ones said that these leaders had exalted themselves above the congregation of the Lord, in taking upon them the priesthood and government, but their house was not entitled to distinction above others in Israel; they were no more holy than the people, and it should be enough for them to be on a level with their brethren, who were equally favored with God’s special presence and protection.
Titus 31:3
@@@^“The next work of the conspirators was with the people. To those who are in the wrong, and deserving of reproof, there is nothing more pleasing than to receive sympathy and praise. And thus Korah and his associates gained the attention and enlisted the support of the congregation. The charge that the murmurings of the people had brought upon them the wrath of God, was declared to be a mistake. They said that the congregation were not at fault, since they desired nothing more than their rights, but that Moses was an overbearing ruler; that he had reproved the people as sinners, when they were a holy people, and the Lord was among them.
Titus 32:1
@@@^“In this work of disaffection there was greater union and harmony among the discordant elements of the congregation than had ever before existed. Korah’s success with the people increased his confidence and confirmed him in his belief that the usurpation of authority by Moses, if unchecked, would be fatal to the liberties of Israel; he also claimed that God had opened the matter to him, and had authorized him to make a change in the government before it should be too late. But many were not ready to accept Korah’s accusations against Moses. The memory of his patient, self-sacrificing labors came up before them, and conscience was disturbed. It was therefore necessary to assign some selfish motive for his deep interest for Israel, and the old charge was reiterated, that he had led them out to perish in the wilderness, that he might seize upon their possessions.
Titus 34:1
@@@^“Singling out Korah and his fellow-Levites, Moses said, ‘Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them? And He hath brought thee near to Him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee; and seek ye the priesthood also? for which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord. And what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?’
