@@@^“...They will question and criticize everything” says the Spirit of Prophecy in forewarning of the purification, “that arises in the @9unfolding of truth@7, criticize the work and position of others, criticize every branch of the work in which @9they have not themselves @7a part. They will feed upon the errors and mistakes and faults of others, ‘until,’ said @9the angel@7, ‘the Lord Jesus shall rise up from his mediatorial work in the heavenly sanctuary, and shall clothe himself with the garments of vengeance, and surprise them at their unholy feast; and they will find themselves unprepared for the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” — @9Testimonies@7 Vol. 5, p. 690.
Ephesians 51:2
@@@^“ ‘Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him: Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?’ Prejudice and unbelief sprang up in the heart of Nathanael, but Philip did not try to combat it. He said, ‘Come and see.’ “ — @9Testimonies on Sabbath School Work@7, p. 63.
Philippians 4:3
@@@^“And I saw,” he continues, “thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Philippians 28:2
@@@^“Behold,” He says further, speaking in view of the day that He will execute “an utter end,” “I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” Mal. 4:5. Hence Jesus’ words: “Elias truly shall @9first@7 come, and”
Philippians 31:1
@@@^“I have seen the tender love that God has for His people, and it is very great . . . Heaven is a good place. I long to be there, and behold my lovely Jesus, who gave His life for me, and be changed into His glorious image. Oh, for language to express the glory of the bright world to come! I thirst for the living streams that make glad the city of our God.” — @9Early Writings@7, p. 39.
Philippians 35:1
@@@^That no excuse be left to anyone for ignorance or error on this truth, John was shown not only the great white throne on which sits the Judge Eternal, “from Whose face the earth and the heaven fled away” (Rev. 20:11), but also other thrones, or seats, on which evidently sit the jury. And instead of only “ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands” (Rev. 5:11) of angels as witnesses, he saw present on this occasion also “the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years . . . This is the first resurrection.” Rev. 20:4, 5.
Philippians 59:1
@@@^The trouble will burst forth as the two-horned beast decrees “that no man might buy or sell, save he that [has] the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Rev. 13:17. Thus will the dragon be “wroth with the woman” and “make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Rev. 12:17. And at the same time the angels will be allowed to hurt all who trouble the church of God, and who attempt to join it in the same way as the tares now do. In thus hurting the wicked, the angels execute “the wrath of the Lamb.” In view of this, the Lord asks, “who shall be able to stand?” Rev. 6:17. It is “the great and dreadful day of the Lord” (Mal. 4:5), and “the sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites.” Hence the questions: “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” — Only those who see themselves in need of everything. And these are
Colossians 3:1
@@@^Though a number of times we have conclusively cleared the questions as to (1) whether Jesus, in order to fulfill the “sign of Jonah,” was “three days and three nights” in the grave, or (2) whether the sign was fulfilled in some other way and (3) whether He was crucified on Friday, on Thursday, or on Wednesday, there still seem to be some points which are not clear to all, first of which underlies the question:
Colossians 3:2
@@@^Mark, who was an eyewitness of the event says, “And the first day of unleavened bread @9when they killed@7 the passover, His disciples said unto Him, Where wilt Thou that we go and prepare that Thou mayest eat the passover? And He sendeth forth two of His disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him . . . And His disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as He had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. And in the evening @9He cometh with@7 @9the twelve@7. And as they sat and @9did eat@7, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with Me shall betray Me.” Mark 14:12, 13, 16-18.
Colossians 4:1
@@@^Since the Passover lamb was killed in the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month (Ex. 12:6), and was eaten at the commencement of the fifteenth day (Num. 28:17), and since the gospel writers declare that Jesus ate the Passover at the very hour the whole Jewish nation ate it, the fact is solidly established that the time of the crucifixion of Christ did not coincide with the time of the killing of the lamb on the fourteenth day for the first of the Passover feasts. It did coincide, however, with the killing of the lamb for the second of the feasts, as will be seen from the following paragraphs.
Colossians 4:2
@@@^Even astronomical records agree that the fourteenth-day sacrifice of the Passover supper that year came on Wednesday, and the Bible emphatically states that the feast of the Passover was to be observed on the fifteenth day (Num. 28:17), Thursday that year. Jesus, therefore, could not have been crucified on either of these two days. This is borne out by the fact that, as stated before He observed the first of the feasts with the disciples. Moreover, Matthew 26:5 plainly states that the assembly of the priests and the scribes with Caiaphas in the judgment seat, decided not to kill Him “on the feast day” — Thursday, the fifteenth. Hence the question: Why does the Bible say He was crucified on
Colossians 6:1
@@@^Let it not be forgotten that He was buried on the day called the “preparation day,” Friday, and that the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate on the “day that followed the day of the preparation” (Matt. 27:62), on Sabbath, requesting him to set a watch over the tomb. It was therefore the second night after His burial that the tomb was guarded. And the fact that this was the night that Jesus arose (Matt. 28:1-5), proves that He was in the tomb only the two nights — Friday night and Saturday night. Consequently the statement, “three days and three nights in @9the heart@7 of the earth,” must stand for something more than simply His being in the grave, as interpreted by some.
Colossians 6:2
@@@^Then in Matthew 28:1, the words, “as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week,” are not spoken with intention to tell the time when Jesus arose, but to show the time when the women arrived at the tomb, and therefore cannot be taken to mean, as some think, the evening at the end of the Sabbath. For the women came to the sepulchre in the morning, as each gospel writer attests:
Colossians 7:5
@@@^The statement that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the sepulchre “as it began to @9dawn@7 toward the first day of the week” (Matt. 28:1), has been interpreted by some to mean that they came to the sepulchre on the Sabbath, before sunset, and then found that the Lord had already risen. But let it be remembered that on the day when they came, Mary met the Lord Himself and talked with Him. If, therefore, she was told on the Sabbath by the angels that Jesus had risen from the dead, and she herself then saw the sepulchre empty, also talked with the Lord (Matt. 28:1-9), why should she play the fool on Sunday morning by going to the sepulchre to see the Lord’s body as though she knew nothing about His resurrection, when instead she should have heeded His instructions to give the news to the disciples, and to meet Him in Galilee (Matt. 28:1-7; John 20:1-17)?
Colossians 11:3
@@@^As far as we know, all Bible students agree that Jesus was crucified during the day and was buried before sunset. And as only the hours of the night were ever reckoned by “watches,” the “watch” periods are foolishly dragged into the discussion. So being wholly irrelevant in this connection, they by all rights merit no consideration. For the sake, however, of those who really want the truth, but who are confused over the idea under discussion, we shall give it brief treatment.
Colossians 12:1
@@@^And as there are not two sixth hours but only one sixth hour in a day, therefore the sixth hour at the time of the trial in Pilate’s judgment hall, and the sixth hour at the time of the darkening of the sun, which came three hours after Jesus was nailed to the cross, are not four hours apart, but either twelve or twenty-four hours apart! Manifestly, therefore, even though one resort to the device of the “watch” system, one cannot rationally conclude that the trial and the darkening of the sun, not to mention the events connected with them, came the same day. Necessarily they took longer.
Colossians 12:3
@@@^The gospel writers do not mean “watches” when they say “hours,” for Jesus did not teach them to say, There are four watches in the day; but rather, There are twelve hours in the day (John 11:9). Moreover, as aforestated, never the day, but only the night, was divided into watches. And, furthermore, the clock dials were never marked by watches, but by hours, and when they said “hours,” they never meant “watches.” These evidences wholly discredit the “watch” scheme of interpretation.
Colossians 14:1
@@@^From this it will be seen that all these events did not take place in one twelve-hour day, and that necessarily, therefore, Christ was brought before Pilate either at midnight preceding Friday morning or at noon Thursday. To determine which, we need only consult John’s record of the trial, which disallows the midday time of Thursday, for it says: “It was the preparation of the passover.” John 19:14. And as this “preparation” day was Friday, we can only conclude that Jesus was brought before Pilate at about midnight — “the sixth hour” — on what we call Thursday night, but what, according to Genesis, chapter 1, and according to Jewish Sabbath-keeping, actually was Friday.
Colossians 14:2
@@@^Accordingly, Jesus was arrested early Thursday morning; tried before Annas while it was yet dark (John 18:13); brought before Caiaphas in the assembly of the Sanhedrin (His legal trial) at daybreak (Matt. 26:57; 27:1); next before Pilate, Friday, before daybreak — about the sixth hour (John 19:14); then before Herod (Luke 23:7); then back to Pilate (Luke 23:11); and finally was crucified in the morning of the same day, about the third hour (Mark 15:25) — 9:00 A.M., modern time.
Colossians 15:1
@@@^That He remained in the tomb two nights and rose on Sunday; that the three days and three nights is the time from His first legal trial to the time of His resurrection; that the heart of the earth has been erroneously interpreted to mean the grave, when, instead, it is, as Jonah’s experience shows, symbolical of Christ’s imprisonment in the hands of sinners and in the tomb (Matt. 20:19; 16:21; 17:22, 23; 27:63; Luke 9:22; 24:21; 18:33; 24:7; — “Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.” (Luke 24:46); that the sign of the “three days and three nights” literally is fulfilled from Thursday morning, the time of His legal trial, to Sunday morning when He arose; that the paschal lamb, which was about to be killed when Jesus was on the cross, was not that which was killed on the first day of the Passover week, the fourteenth day of the month, but that which was killed on the sixteenth day, the second day of the feasts; — all these conclusions are firmly founded on the solid facts established herein in simplicity; not, dear reader, on fables or on translations unknown to you, or on so-called “original manuscripts,” which you yourself cannot read, and which are not accessible to you, and some of which do not even exist!
