Page 29 of 147Song of Solomon 12:10
@@@^As innumerable unauthoritative ideas of men have divided the Christian church into chips of all sizes, and have made her a “habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird” (Rev. 18:2) instead of a place of salvation and a habitation of saints, “God will manifest that He is not dependent on learned, self-important mortals.” (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 82.) The following quotation plainly shows that only “Inspiration” (a man called of God) can declare the truth and nothing but the truth:
Song of Solomon 13:1
@@@^“The reason why He does not oftener @9choose@7 men of learning and high position to lead out in reform movements, is that they trust to their creeds, theories, and theological systems, and feel no need to be taught of God. @9Only@7 those who have a personal connection with the Source of Wisdom @9are able@7 to understand or explain the Scriptures. Men who have little of the learning of the schools are sometimes called to declare the truth, not because they are unlearned, but because they are not too self-sufficient to be taught of God. They learn in the school of Christ, and their humility and obedience make them great. In committing to them a knowledge of His truth, God confers upon them an honor, in comparison with which earthly honor and human greatness sink into insignificance.” --“The Great Controversy,” p.456.
Song of Solomon 16:1
@@@^Remember that at the conference meetings in Los Angeles in 1933, it was unanimously adopted that every Friday afternoon at 5 P. M. Pacific Standard Time, believers in Present Truth would seek God in behalf of the message, believing that such a concerted voice would lay at Heaven’s altar, in all truth, “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man (which) availeth much.”
Isaiah 6:4
@@@^The message, “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew @9My people@7 their transgression, and the@9 house of Jacob@7 their sins,” is reforming my life, and the facts and truths, in reference to the message, as I read them for the first time were indeed startling to me, and what I have read is enough to convince me that the enemy, masking in S. D. A. garb, has smoothly and quietly crept into our churches, and, simulating the voice of the Lord, is crying out loud in the ears of the laity, “Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean” (Isa. 52:1), and they are snoring all the more! Only showing that the old dragon by his deceptive arts has spread a cloud of dense darkness over all, and as his seed of satisfaction and prejudices has found fertile soil in the hearts of many, he expects to keep us ignorant of the truth forever.
Isaiah 7:10
@@@^The 1585 date (co-incidence chart, “The Shepherd’s Rod,” Vol. 1, page 112), being derived from the birth date of Jacob (the father of the twelve tribes), is numerically figurative of the birth of a denomination which must bring forth the spiritual twelve tribes—the 144,000. As the truth of the 144,000 was first revealed in the year 1930, this date stands as the one on which the church gave birth to the “servants of God.” The Seventh-day Adventist denomination being 85 years old at that time, the number of years correspond with the number from the call of Abraham to the birth of Jacob (85). Therefore, by subtracting the number of years from Abraham’s call to the birth of Jacob (85) from the year the truth of the 144,000 was revealed (1930), it carries us back to the year the S. D. A. denomination came into existence (1845) thereby proving the fact that it is this particular church or denomination which is to bring forth the twelve spiritual tribes.
Isaiah 9:3
@@@^“Satan is now using every device in this sealing time to keep the minds of God’s people from the @9present truth@7 and to cause them to waver”. . . ”Warn those who embrace but a part of the truths . . . that they must gladly receive all the messages as God has given them, or have no part in the matter.”—“Early Writings,” pp. 43, 188, 189.
Jeremiah 4:16
@@@^Hence, it is deeply to be regretted that a poor, misguided elder should take the occasion of the sad and tragic death of one of his fellow ministers to give vent to his pent-up hatred against those with whom he differs on religious matters, and especially to go as far as he has, for his frenzy seems to have carried him clear on beyond reason and truth, and landed him on the same level with Judas, for his entire report is intended simply because he is unable to refute the truth, to place an innocent man in the clutches of the law. Hence, his resort to what he thought was the only expedient left him.
Jeremiah 5:8
@@@^As I see that some who profess to believe in Present Truth must be nursed so much, my soul is prostrated before the Lord in behalf of them. Sometimes I almost lose patience with them. Pray for me that my faith fail not. I long to see a revival of the spirit of 1844, but appeal after appeal falls on ears that are dull of hearing and on hearts that are asleep. With their mouths they confess the truth, but they remain inactive and asleep. Yet they seem to be so honest and sincere that I hesitate to call their attention to things that I know I must. I cannot understand why reformers, having so much light as we, should have to be nursed like this. It is a mystery to me why they do not get out and work for their brethren, and thus gain a blessing for themselves. I wish that you would write along these lines in the Code. @3(Signed) J. H. Y.
Jeremiah 6:1
@@@^“Satan is now using every device in this sealing time to keep the minds of God’s people from the present truth, and to cause them to waver. I saw a covering that God was drawing over His people to protect them in the time of trouble; and every soul that was decided on the truth, and was pure in heart, was to be covered with the covering of the Almighty. . . .
Jeremiah 7:3
@@@^We are thankful to say that some in our “little company” are getting stronger every day, and that as a result of visiting the homes of some of the church members, the S. D. A. minister of the Atlanta church has threatened to speak to the church against the “Shepherd’s Rod” workers. He has told the members where we visited, to refuse to let us come into their homes. Strange how some of us Seventh-day Adventists now run from a simple, plain Bible study (Isa. 8:20) as some years ago the members of other churches used to avoid discussion of religion with us! Seventh-day Adventist ministers are now saying, “Don’t you read the Bible with any but us only!” We now find that error, coming in contact with the truth, only makes the truth shine the brighter, and that the pillars of the S. D. A. denomination, which are well grounded on the Scriptures, are able to bear up under any pressure, while those who have wandered away from these fundamentals flatly refuse to sit down with a brother or sister and study the Bible!
Jeremiah 7:9
@@@^As a result of our stand for Present Truth, four of the seven families, composing the Mayberry church, have accepted the “straight testimony,” and three have “risen up against it” precisely as predicted in “Early Writings,” p. 270, but we are praying that our lives may be such a strong testimony in favor of the truth that the others will yet accept it and help give the Loud Cry, which will “bring all your brethren out of all nations . . . into the house of the Lord.” (Isa. 66:20.)
Jeremiah 10:9
@@@^Hence, as there are no useless words in either of the writings, those who desire to know the truth must carefully mark every word, otherwise they will never comprehend the truth and, as a consequence, they will be driven by the winds as the waves of the sea until the winds cease blowing (probation closes), and they be left to sink down in their sins as do the waves in the sea.
Jeremiah 11:2
@@@^We understand that God will announce the day and the hour of Christ’s coming at the time of the seventh plague, at which time He will pour out His Spirit upon His saints, but this pouring out of His Spirit is not the latter or the former rain of the truth and the power prophesied in Joel 2:23, 28, or in “Early Writings,” p. 85, but rather a special manifestation of God’s Spirit—not to reveal to us either the fullness of or to enable us to proclaim the Gospel Truth, but simply to fit us to see Jesus face to face as He is. These facts are further attested by Joel 2:24, and “Early Writings,” pp. 277, 278.
Lamentations 6:2
@@@^Though the opposition is setting many against the message, the above letter reveals the fact that the truth can no more be kept in the darkness than can a needle be kept in a gunny sack. And as light shines more brilliantly in the darkness, so the truth stands out more distinctly when surrounded by falsehoods.
Ezekiel 3:5
@@@^“The Symbolic Code” has received another equally serious criticism against some who teach present truth, that they habitually put themselves in the defense whenever a question is asked during a study, making it appear that they assume the attitude that the questioner is simply trying to provoke an argument, when he is only desiring better to understand the truth.
Ezekiel 12:13
@@@^I have been receiving “The Symbolic Code” for some time, and have carefully studied all the contents which, to my satisfaction, have proved to be present truth. I have loaned a number of copies to many S. D. A. brethren but, like the Jewish people in Christ’s time, they dare not speak the truth, lest they be turned out of the synagogue.” @3(Signed) __________@4Cuba
Daniel 5:12
@@@^I have read with interest the tract on Ezekiel Nine, “The Latest News for Mother,” “Final Warning, “ “The Harvest, “ “The Warning Paradox,” and also “The Shepherd’s Rod,” Vol. 1, and being convinced of the truth of the message which they contain, I am sending my tithe to Mt. Carmel to help carry on this Present Truth.
Daniel 6:6
@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^“I am a firm believer in ‘The Shepherd’s Rod, ‘ and I hope to go through with it to the end. I am so glad that the Lord has opened my eyes to the wonderful light of Present Truth, and if He will permit me, I will carry it to others so that they, too, may embrace its sealing truth, and rejoice in it as I do. I have read some of your tracts; also the volumes one and two, and I enjoy reading the Code. It is truly ‘marvelous light’.” @3(Signed) E. J. A., @4Florida.
Hosea 3:6
@@@^Those of us here in the east who are standing in the advancing light of Present Truth are of good courage, and our confidence in God and in the sure triumph of the Third Angel’s Message was never stronger than today. We are heart and soul with our brethren at Mt. Carmel—“in the midst of the land”—and our one desire is to witness for the Master on all occasions, the which we believe can best be done by learning more perfectly the meaning of that wonderful statement found on page 189 of “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 9, p. 189 which reads as follows: “If we would humble ourselves before God, and be kind and courteous and tender-hearted and pitiful, there would be one hundred conversions to the truth where now there is only one.”
Hosea 4:8
@@@^I am extremely thankful for the wonderful, stirring truths of this sealing message. I am so stirred that I even dream about it. Once “I was blind but now I see” my terrible spiritual condition. Had my name come up in the Investigative Judgment before this message found me, I would have been lost. Words fail me to describe the @9terrible@7 condition of @9our church@7, and how starved we are for the pure Bible truths!
