Page 34 of 316Exodus 276:3
@@@^By suppression the adversaries of God brought the work of the first decree to a stop. But in due time Cyrus’ decree was renewed by Darius the king, and “Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.” (Ezra 5:2.)
Exodus 277:1
@@@^The message was delivered with the power of the Spirit says the messenger: “I shall never again, I think, be called to stand under the direction of the Holy Spirit as I stood at Minneapolis. The presence of Jesus was with me. All assembled in that meeting had an opportunity to place themselves on the side of truth by receiving the Holy Spirit, which was sent by God in such a rich current of love and mercy. But in the rooms occupied by some of our people were heard ridicule, criticism, jeering, laughter. The manifestations of the Holy Spirit were attributed to fanaticism… The scenes which took place at that meeting made the God of heaven ashamed to call those who took part in them His brethren. All this the heavenly Watcher noticed, and it was written in the book of God’s remembrance.”—“Special Testimony to Review and Herald Office,” pp. 16, 17, written in 1896.
Exodus 278:1
@@@^As the first and second decrees by the kings of Medo-Persia had failed to complete the construction of the temple and restore the sacred typical service, a third decree was set forth, then the king added: “Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him @9be hanged@7 thereon; and let @9his house be made a dunghill@7 for this. And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there @9destroy all kings and people@7, that shall put to their hand to @9alter@7 and @9to destroy@7 this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed… And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.” (Ezra 6:11-15.)
Exodus 291:1
@@@^“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, @9and touch not the unclean thing@7; and I will receive you.” (2 Cor. 6:17.) “For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, @9who is an idolater@7, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. @9Let no man@7 deceive you with vain words: for @9because of these things@7 cometh the wrath of @9God upon the children of disobedience.@7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For @9ye were@7 sometimes darkness, but @9now are ye light in the Lord@7: walk as children of light… And have @9no fellowship@7 with the unfruitful workers of darkness, but rather reprove them.” (Eph. 5:5-8, 11.) God is able to heal the soul and the body; but He will not heal the latter before He has healed the former—“sin” first, then “uncleanness.” “I will also save you from @9all@7 your @9uncleanness@7: and I will call for corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.” (Ezek. 36:29.) The power that is able to wash away the filthiness of any man, is “@9opened@7 to the @9house@7 of @9David@7 and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem” and is represented by the “@9fountain@7” of Zechariah’s prophecy.
Exodus 296:1
@@@^The value of the leaves and the fruit of these trees is identically the same as the @9tree@7 of @9life@7 according to Revelation 22:2, “And on either side of the @9river@7, was there @9the tree of life@7, which bear twelve manner of fruits, and @9yielded her fruit every month@7: and the@9 leaves of the tree@7 were for the @9healing of the nations@7.” The significance is that the church of God (house of David) is endowed with power from the @9throne@7 to offer @9life eternal@7 with no taste of death to those who accept the truth, and are willing to become a part of this mighty river. As this is the only section of God’s church that has been granted the authoritative gospel of permanent healing and life everlasting the Word declares: “@9He that is feeble@7 among them at that day @9shall be as David@7; and @9the house of David shall be as God@7, as the angel of the Lord before them.” (Zech. 12:8.)
Exodus 297:4
@@@^“And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; @9they@7 [the two cities] shall be a place to spread forth nets.” (Ezek. 47:10.) These two cities reveal that the fish are caught in two places, En-gedi (S.D.A. church) where the 144,000 are gathered—the @9first@7 fruits. En-eglaim (Babylon or the world) where the great multitude of Revelation 7:9 are gathered. The diagram on the chart, page 294, represents the S.D.A. church (En-gedi) as it becomes the “House of David,” and the place of the river (En-eglaim) denotes the world. The stream from the fountain where it first starts to the east gate, represents the 144,000, and the river stands for the great multitude. “There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” (Psa. 46:4, 5.)
Deuteronomy 5:2
@@@^It is because Noah, like Peter, had a message, “keys,” for the necessities of God’s people in his time that was able to loose or bind, and in evidence of this, God sent the flood, against which the gates of hell were not able to prevail. Likewise, Abraham had the “keys” and thus God said to him: “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” (Gen. 12:3.) Thus Sodom and Gomorrah were “bound” judged.
Joshua 5:1
@@@^If only one of these applications could be right, then which one should we choose?________ When the questioner harmoniously unifies the above scattered periods to which Malachi 3:1 is applied, then “The Shepherd’s Rod” will prove to him to be in perfect harmony with “The Great Controversy” and “Gospel Workers.” Though one statement seems to contradict the other, yet we are compelled to conclude that every one of these inspired applications must be correct. Says the great apostle,“Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That Thou mightest be justified in Thy sayings, and mightest overcome when Thou art judged.” (Rom. 3:3, 4.)
Joshua 5:5
@@@^Therefore, as John was a messenger to God’s own people at that time, just so at this time the Elijah of Malachi’s prophecy represents a message which is to be delivered not to the world, but to the professed people of God. As John was their last prophet, his message was their final means to fit them for the Messiah’s appearing, for which cause said the Master, “If ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.” (Matt. 11:14.) Likewise, Elijah’s message of today must be to the professed people of God, and is to be their last means to fit them for Christ’s appearing at this time.
1 Samuel 2:3
@@@^“God will have men who will venture anything and everything to save souls. Those who will not move until they can see every step of the way clearly before them, will not be of advantage at this time to forward the truth of God. There must be workers now who will push ahead in the dark as well as in the light, and who will hold up bravely under discouragements and disappointed hopes, and yet work on with faith, with tears and patient hope, sowing beside all waters, trusting the Lord to bring the increase. God calls for men of nerve, of hope, faith, and endurance to work to the point.” “Life Sketches,” 213-14.
2 Samuel 3:11
@@@^“Ye...of the living God,...if you would go forth to do Christ’s work, angels of God would open the way before you...@9Are you individually laborers together with God@7? If not, why not? When do you mean to do @9your Heaven-appointed work?@7”–6 T 438.
2 Samuel 4:4
@@@^@0that has been developed, as though position has made men gods, makes me afraid, and ought to cause fear. It is a curse wherever and by whomsoever it is exercised. This lording it over God’s heritage will create such a disgust of man’s jurisdiction that @9a state of insubordination will result@7. The people are learning that men in high positions of responsibility can not be trusted to mold and fashion other men’s minds and characters. The result will be a loss of confidence even in the management of faithful men. But the Lord will raise up laborers who realize their own nothingness without special help from God.”–T.M. 361.
2 Samuel 10:6
@@@^Answer: The class “who are plucked as brands from the burning” (G.C. 665), and the 144,000, who are also plucked as brands from the burning (Zech. 3), and who are ‘called the elect of God, precious, and will stand next to the throne of God” (8 T 74), as do the ones in The Great Controversy, proves that there are two such classes who occupy about the same position, that is, seeking “to restore the moral image of God in others.” The former are the ones who @9died@7 after being plucked, and the latter, the 144,000 who shall never die. After the resurrection of the former and the translation of the latter, both of these brands that were plucked from the burning will unitedly be near the throne.
1 Kings 2:11
@@@^“Thus it was that once more, because of @9hatred born of bigotry and self-righteousness, a servant of God@7 was driven to turn for protection to the heathen. It was this same hatred that forced the prophet Elijah to flee for succor to the widow of Sarepta; and that forced the heralds of the gospel to turn from the Jews to proclaim their message to the Gentiles. @9And this hatred the people of God living in this age have yet to meet@7. @9Among many of the professing followers of Christ@7, there is the same @9pride, formalism@7, and @9selfishness@7, the same @9spirit of oppression@7, that held so large a place in the Jewish heart. @9In@7 the @9future@7, men claiming to be Christ’s representatives @9will take a course similar@7 to that followed by the priests and rulers in their treatment of @9Christ@7 and @9the apostles@7. In the great crisis through which they are soon to pass, @9the faithful servants of God will encounter the same hardness of heart, the same cruel determination, the same unyielding hatred@7.
1 Kings 4:3
@@@^In fulfillment of the above, the ministry now scorns the idea that the judgment of Ezek. 9 is a literal slaughter upon “the house of God” before the close of probation for the world, taking rather the position that it is the seven last plagues, consequently saying, “We need not look for miracles and the marked manifestation of God’s power as in former days....Thus @9peace@7 and @9safety@7 is the @9cry@7 from men who will @9never again@7 lift up their voice.” Why? Because “all” have perished in the slaughter which they had declared God was “too merciful to visit” upon “His people.”
1 Kings 4:4
@@@^The night is approaching and the shadows of the dark ages are beginning to fall upon God’s people, when “all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Tim. 3:12). The time is nigh upon us of which prophecy says: “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the @9remnant@7 (the 144,000) of her @9seed@7, which @9keep@7 the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Rev. 12:17.) But we “reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Rom. 8:18.)
2 Kings 1:2
@@@^The responsibility which God has placed upon us at this time is so great that no human mind can fully comprehend it or take it too seriously; that is, God has given us the “words of life” to bear to His erring church, thus placing the light for the people in our hands! In other words, we stand as it were at the helm of the great ship aboard which are God’s people, and if we wreck it, everyone will fall overboard. Hence, if we could realize how great would be that fall, we too, would sweat “great drops of blood.” It may be that He Who did calm the mad waters with the words, “Be still,” will divide the sea and thus, without the aid of the ship, lead on to shore those who are not responsible for its fall. But woe to us should we either by an unconcerned, half-hearted effort, or by a zeal which is not informed by divine power bring about such a fearful catastrophe.
2 Kings 2:2
@@@^Since the apostles passed away, God’s sheep have abundantly furnished their shepherds with wool and fat, but the shepherds from that day to this have done little or nothing for the sheep. “Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; as I live, saith the Lord God, surely because My flock became a prey, and My flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did My shepherds search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not My flock; therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require My flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver My flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.” (Ezek. 34:7-10.)
2 Kings 7:2
@@@^I thank God for these new truths of the SRod, and they must be made to urge God’s people to see the perilous situation before them, and the necessity earnestly of seeking the revival long overdue. Many agree to reformation but the new order must be @9revival@7 and @9reformation@7, for to clean up the outside alone of cup and platter does no good. Merely to correct the dress, hair, and outside deportment will profit not at all. Christ must be formed within the hope of glory, or the loss is eternal...we must be born again: do we have the marks of the new birth? He that is born of God sinneth not. Do we have hope of eternal life? He that hath this hope purifieth himself even as He is pure.
1 Chronicles 8:6
@@@^Bro. O. Hogan of Los Angeles, Calif., sends in the following encouraging words: “I am thankful to the Lord for bringing me in contact with the SRod. My courage is good in the present truth message, and when I read the Spirit of Prophecy it establishes my confidence more firmly in the message for this time. For example, in ‘A WORD TO THE LITTLE FLOCK,’ p. 5, we read: ‘God approved of the proclamation of 1843, and the 10th day of the 7th month, 1844: by the pouring out of the Holy Ghost. Since the 7th month 1844, the “rebellious house” of Israel, @9have been removing the “landmarks@7,” and writing, and proclaiming false visions; but we all know that it has been the work of man, and not of God. These flattering divinings, have cheered on the “rebellious house” of Israel to some extent; but the work has not had the holy, sanctifying influence, as when God’s hand was in the work on time.” @2“Yours for the return of Mother”
