@@@^The Eleventh-hour Movement, being the very last, is consequently in the greatest danger of all. What urgency, then, that we keep our eyes wide open lest we, too, fall! This Movement, however, being the last gospel effort, must “give power and force” to the Third Angel’s Message and “lighten the earth with his glory” (Rev. 18:1); it must triumph, though every Movement before it has failed. It is destined, not to “prophesy again” to “@9many@7 nations” (Rev. 10:11), but to “@9all.@7” And as it is to go to those who have not heard of His fame, and to bring to the house of the Lord @9all @7the saints “out of @9all@7 nations” (Isa. 66:19, 20), it is consequently foreordained to endure. To effect this predetermined purpose, God is now taking the reins in His own hands (@9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 300), to purify the church by removing from it the tares, and to preserve it free from them henceforth, so that it may stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb (Rev. 14:1).
1 Peter 69:3
@@@^Sacred history is repetitious with the tragic lesson that when a people go wrong, as did Israel in Elijah’s and again in Christ’s time, they are no longer sensible of their being wrong. Likewise repetitious is the even more tragic lesson that such a people have always misconstrued God’s efforts to bring them to a realization of their errors. So once they are led astray from the teachings of the prophets, and captivated by new and magnetic human leadership, their liberation and correction become almost impossible. (See@9 Prophets and Kings,@7 pp. 121-126.)
1 Peter 70:2
@@@^Never in the violent history of this sin-deluged world has so great a danger and so great a necessity confronted the church. In this all-enveloping peril, “what does God say in regard to His people? — ‘But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.’ (See also Isaiah 43.) These are prophecies that @9will be fulfilled@7.”—@9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 96.
1 Peter 73:4
@@@^The Spirit’s Voice through Isaiah is now also crying aloud: “Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall @9no more@7 come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean....How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of Him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!” Isa. 52:1, 7.
1 Peter 74:3
@@@^“But we see that the God of heaven sometimes commissions men to teach that which is regarded as contrary to the established doctrines. Because those who were once the depositaries of truth became unfaithful to their sacred trust, the Lord chose others who would receive the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, and would advocate truths that were not in accordance with the ideas of the religious leaders. And then these leaders in the blindness of their minds, give full sway to what is supposed to be righteous indignation against the ones who have set aside cherished fables. They act like men who have lost their reason. They do not consider the possibility that they themselves have not rightly understood the Word. They will not open their eyes to discern the fact that they have misinterpreted and misapplied the Scriptures, and have built up false theories, calling them fundamental doctrines of the faith.”—@9Testimonies to Ministers@7, pp. 69, 70.
1 Peter 76:1
@@@^@9Why do you not candidly admit that any message coming from God should not cause schism and separation among His people? Is not the fact that “The Shepherd’s Rod” does cause both, sufficient proof that it cannot contain the message of the hour? @7
1 Peter 77:2
@@@^The fact that the message of the Rod brings a separation, is one more evidence in the proof that in this fundamental effect, at least, it is right in line with all other messages from God. This therefore adds another link to the golden chain of Truth that cannot be tarnished or broken. “The weight of evidence” is the only fair and final criterion worthy of a Christian who must ever make an investigation for himself concerning purported truth.
1 Peter 78:2
@@@^@@“When Moses was chosen as the @9messenger of the covenant@7, the word given him was, ‘Be thou for the people to Godward.’” — @9Gospel Workers@7, p. 20.@2“Christ the @9messenger of the covenant@7, brought the tidings of salvation.” — @9Gospel Workers,@7 p. 44. verse ABN1: 78.2}@}@8@8
1 Peter 78:4
@@@^As God had made both spoken and written covenants with His ancient people that He would send them Moses, John, and Christ, they came in fulfillment of those covenants. And each having brought a message, each in his own time was the Messenger of the Covenant. Nevertheless, the words of Malachi make plain that the Messenger of the Covenant is, in the strictest sense Elijah the prophet (Mal. 3:1-5; 4:5), the last messenger who prepares the way of the Lord. (See @9Testimonies to Ministers@7, p. 475.)
1 Peter 79:2
@@@^Thus “@9holy men@7 of God spake as they were @9moved by the Holy Ghost@7.” 2 Pet. 1:21. Briefly summarized, the term Messenger of the Covenant means the Holy Spirit (the invisible Christ) in Heaven’s visible representative—be it Moses, John, Christ, Elijah, or some other.
1 Peter 84:2
@@@^“In the manifestation of the power that lightens the earth with its glory, they will see only something which in their blindness they think dangerous, something which will arouse their fears and they will brace themselves to resist it. Because the Lord does not work according to their expectations and ideal, they will oppose the work. Why, they say, should we not know the Spirit of God, when we have been in the work so many years?”—@9Bible Training School@7, 1907. (Reprinted in @9The Review and Herald@7, Nov. 7 1918.) This statement plainly projects the Loud Cry into the future from 1918.
1 Peter 85:3
@@@^Both books are endeavoring to say what the Bible says, and in order to bring harmony we must re-study the subject directly form the Bible, specifically from Joel’s prophecy: “Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.” Joel 2:23.
1 Peter 88:3
@@@^Yet no student of the Scriptures will deny that the Bible does definitely hold forth the promise of a singularly dynamic manifestation of the Holy Spirit, to bestow upon all believers a special outpouring of power such as the apostles received on the day of Pentecost,—yes, even greater. Then the answer to the question, Why do we not @9now@7 receive It? inescapably is, Because the conditions for receiving it have not as yet been met. When they are met this sure promise of God will be instantaneously fulfilled, even as it was with the apostles.
1 Peter 93:2
@@@^Though many of Sister White’s manuscripts were published during the period of time stated above, yet a careful check will reveal that if any new revelation of timely Bible truth, “meat in due season,” was published therein, it was revealed to her before 1890. In fact, as early as 1871, she herself announced this cessation of light through the Testimonies: “ I am authorized from God to tell you that not another ray of light through the @9Testimonies@7 will shine upon your pathway, until you make a practical use of the light already given.”—@9Testimonies@7, Vol. 2, p. 606.
1 Peter 94:2
@@@^@9In the following statement, “While God clears the way for the seven last plagues by laying some of His people to sleep in the grave, He has done the same for the event to take place in 1931 (if that date be correct),” does “The Shepherd’s Rod,” Vol. 1, p. 219, mean to teach that the judgment of the dead closed in 1931 or thereabouts?@7
2 Peter 5:1
@@@^“Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, and said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.” Acts 7:2, 3. “So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him” (Gen. 12:4), and went at His lead into Canaan, wherein he dwelt, though the Lord “gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet He promised that He world give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.” Acts 7:5.
2 Peter 6:1
@@@^Years later when Joseph’s brothers went into Egypt to obtain food during the seven-year famine, Joseph, recognizing Providential design in the strange drama of his life from enslavement to enthronement, said unto his brothers as he “made himself known” unto them: “Be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life...and...to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.” Gen. 45:1, 5, 7.
2 Peter 7:2
@@@^Then, on their way back they met with another providence—their long wilderness sojourn, forty years in all—which God permitted for the express purpose of separating from them the unbelieving, unfaithful multitude who accompanied the Movement out of Egypt. These being destroyed, the survivors miraculously crossed the Jordan, just as they had forty years before crossed the Red Sea. There removing from their midst the one sinner, Achan, who then sprang up among them, they entered into the promised land and became the most glorious kingdom in their day. Slaves become kings—what a miracle indeed!
2 Peter 8:2
@@@^In the course of time, with the fulfillment of the seventy years of which Jeremiah prophesied (Jer. 29:10), God once more brought Israel into their own land. But as the years wore on, replacing the old generations with new ones, Israel again lost sight of their Strength, this time so completely that when the long-looked for Messiah finally came, they rejected and crucified and spat on Him!
2 Peter 9:1
@@@^Not all, however, were thus cast away. A multitude of them had their eyes opened to the fact that their great men were falsely accusing the Lord, misapplying the prophecies concerning Him, and deceiving the people. Through those who remained faithful, He preserved the seed of Israel. Accepting Christ and becoming Christians, these faithful sons of Jacob had their name changed from Jew to Christian, as was foreshadowed in God’s changing their father’s name from Jacob to Israel, and their grandfather’s from Abram to Abraham.
