Page 3 of 192 Corinthians 11:17
@@@^We certainly think it is time for all Laodiceans to wake up and watch, not thinking of money only. Surely we cannot have much time left. We hope that we may hear from you. @3E. S.@3Grandy, Minn.
15:3
@@@^Now, we want to know how many baptisms the Bible teaches. “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” Eph. 4:4, 5
Genesis 110:1
@@@^What took place in 1850? The @9first testimony@7 was written to the church and addressed “To Those Who Are Receiving The @9Seal@7 Of The Living God.” Signed, E. G. White. Thus the @9birth of Moses@7, the hope of Israel after the flesh, coincides with the @9birth of the first testimony@7 for the church, the @9hope@7 of Israel by the promise, the 144,000. Thus we see a perfect harmony in the type with antitype. See Origin and Progress of Seventh-day Adventists, page 749.
1 Chronicles 2:6
@@@^We are sorry that our leading brethren who first received the call have with one consent excused themselves, but we hope that some may yet join with those of the “streets” and the “lanes.”
Song of Solomon 6:7
@@@^“My labor has been most discouraging, as I have seen that what God designed has not been accomplished. Often I have inquired in distress, Of what account is all my labor? These brethren took this position: We believe the visions, but Sister White, in writing them, put in her own words and we will believe that portion which we think is of God, and will not heed the other. This course they have pursued, and have not corrected their lives. They have professed to believe the visions, but have acted contrary to them. Their example and influence have raised doubts in the minds of others. It would have been better for the cause of present truth had they both opposed the gifts. Then the people would not have been deceived, and would not have stumbled over these blind teachers. We have hoped and prayed that they might get right, and exert a good influence upon the flock: but hope has died, and we cannot, dare not, hold our peace longer. We have wronged the church of God, in that we have not spoken out before.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, pp. 233, 234.
Jeremiah 5:9
@@@^We hope that the above earnest appeal of a brother who longs to see that our preparation for the long hoped journey through the starry heavens “engross the whole mind, the whole attention,” will awaken all the readers of this paper, so that when the “angels sing” and the “silver trumpet” blows, we shall leave no one behind as we take our flight heavenward to the “sides of the north”!
Amos 12:11
@@@^Here in N. C., we are now having a wonderful experience. Brother——— is giving the SRod message, and we hope to see more of the brethren and sisters take their stand in line with the 144,000.
Obadiah 3:7
@@@^Life’s experience teaches that no matter how perfectly one tries to perform any given work, one can never, in respect to it, hope to please everybody. Even the Christ, Himself, all perfect as He was, could not, in respect to His divine mission, please many. Hardly then could we, with any degree of wisdom, be so sanguine as to expect a reformatory work such as ours,—none too popular at very best—to meet the approval of very many. And by the same token, neither can we, in respect to any certain procedure in connection with the work of Present Truth, very well expect to please all its professed believers. Hence, it was not in the vain hope of pleasing any man, but solely with the desire and purpose of pleasing God, that we framed and sent out the recent “Statistical Reform Survey” blanks to be filled in and returned.
Nahum 5:4
@@@^I have said enough to you, T——, and I hope that you will consider what you are doing and will take the things I say in the way I give them, for I will do anything to help you, and I will always hope and pray that if you do leave, the Spirit of the Lord will strive with you till you will again find yourself at Mt. Carmel, getting ready for the biggest and worst battle this world has ever known, and fighting on the side with a General Who has never lost a battle.
Haggai 2:12
@@@^“Thoroughly examine the grounds of your hope. Deal truly with your own soul. A supposed hope will never save you. Have you counted the cost? I fear not. Now decide whether you will follow Christ, cost what it will.” — “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, p. 243.
John 4:5
@@@^“I beg of you, my brother, to search your heart diligently and inquire, ‘What road am I traveling, and where will it end?’ You have reason to rejoice that your life has not been cut off while you have no certain hope of eternal life. God forbid that you should longer neglect this work, and so perish in your sins. Do not flatter your soul with false hopes. You see no way to get hold again, but one so humble that you cannot consent to accept it. Christ presents to you, even to you, my erring brother, a message of mercy, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ God is ready to accept you, and to pardon all your transgressions, if you will but come. Though you have been a prodigal, and have separated from God, and stayed away from him so long, he will meet you even now. ‘Yes; the Majesty of Heaven invites you to come to Him, that you may have life. Christ is ready to cleanse you from sin when you lay hold upon Him. What profit have you found in serving sin? What profit in serving the flesh and the devil? Is it not poor wages you receive? Oh! turn ye, turn ye; for why will ye die?
John 10:6
@@@^“God knows that my testimony is true. My eyes are blurred with tears. I can hardly see to write, but I do hope I might help save some one in this wide world. I can’t thank the Lord enough for the privilege of testifying of the hope that the message has brought to me.” @3Mrs. Florence Burgess@3Manton, Michigan
Romans 9:10
@@@^I will be happy to receive any information that you have, and I hope that I may hear from you soon. Send me any light that you may have, for I hold a very sacred office in the church to which I belong. I have been the local elder for about five years. I hope that I may hear from you soon, if not by return mail. @3I. J.
2 Corinthians 7:4
@@@^Our sincere prayer and earnest hope, therefore, is that the valuable and irrevocable time expended in this effort of good will and deep concern for your souls, will be the means of bringing you to rejoice in the glorious hope which the @9Rod@7 sets before you. May your heart yet be responsive to the “Lord’s voice” which still “crieth unto the city, . . . hear ye the rod, and Who hath appointed it.” Mic. 6:9.
2 Thessalonians 122:3
@@@^Consequently, the statement, “baptized for the dead,” teaches that baptism for the dead is for the benefit of those only who are themselves baptized while living. In other words, they are baptized, not in the hope of living until the Lord comes to take them to the everlasting mansions above, but in the hope of rising from the dead on the resurrection day. Hence the question: “if the dead rise not at all . . . why are they then baptized?”
1 Timothy 103:5
@@@^Inasmuch as the paramount purpose and hope of the S.D.A. denomination from its outset has been to gather the 144,000, it should be more conversant with this subject than with any other, “ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh” “a reason” of its “hope.” 1 Pet. 3:15. Sadly, though, it is not; instead, it is more ignorant of who and what are the 144,000 than it is perhaps of any other known Bible truth. And what is still sadder, many of its teachers who are refusing to accept this “most startling revelation” (@9Testimonies to Ministers,@7 p. 445), are now insisting that a knowledge of the subject is not essential to their soul’s salvation. And thereby they are saying that they are “rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing,” thus implying that God has put a non-essential subject in the Bible! Thus they are self-doomed to remain wretched (unhappy), and miserable (troubled), and poor (in need of truth), and blind (benighted), and naked (without the righteousness of Christ), and consequently to reject the words: “I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; . . . and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.” Rev. 3:17, 18.
Hebrews 38:1
@@@^If with but one Achan in the camp, the Israel of Joshua’s time was powerless to stand before the heathen, then what hope has modem Israel, with @9hundreds@7 of Achans (@9Testimonies@7 Vol. 5, p. 157) in her midst, to stand through the approaching “time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation”? Today as yesterday, there is for her but one “door of hope” — “the valley of Achor.” There setting her free from sinners forever, God will then bring her out jubilantly singing as in the days of her “youth” and as in the day when she came up “out of the land of Egypt.”
James 5:1
@@@^Dear Brethren in Laodicea, take heed to this divine wisdom. Since you are already in the greatest deception, you stultify reason in your declining to investigate a claimant to truth for fear that in doing so you will be deceived. Awake, Brethren! Can you not see that study is your only salvation—your only hope of getting out of your present “sad” (@9Testimonies,@7 Vol. 3, p. 253), “terrible” (@9Id@7., p. 254), “fearful” (@9Id@7., p. 260) deception, and your only hope of protection in keeping you from plunging into the abyss? So study—study as never before! And you will @9find that this is the beginning of the very message you must have@7 in order to clear the scales from your eyes and break the invisible, but nonetheless real, shackles of inertia and self-exaltation in which the Enemy holds you bound.
1 Peter 28:2
@@@^Our sincere prayer and earnest hope, therefore, is that the valuable, irretrievable time expended in this effort of good will and deep concern for your souls, will be the means of bringing you to rejoice in the glorious hope which the Rod sets before you. May your heart yet be responsive to the “Lord’s voice,” which still “crieth unto the city,...hear ye the Rod, and Who hath appointed it.”
1 Peter 75:1
@@@^Since the Laodiceans are already in the greatest deception, then for any one of them to decline to investigate a claimant to truth for fear of being deceived in so doing, is to stultify reason. To investigate and to study is one’s only salvation—his only hope of getting out of his present “sad,” “terrible,” “fearful” deception (@9Testimonies@7, Vol. 3, pp. 253, 254, 260), and his only hope of protection in keeping him from plunging into the abyss. So he must study as never before! And in so doing he will @9find that this is the beginning of the very message he must have@7 in order to clear the scales from his eyes and break the invisible, but none-the-less real, shackles of inertia and self-exaltation in which the Enemy holds him bound.
