Page 6 of 19Genesis 192:3
@@@^Volume 2, page 69: “A wrong course of eating or drinking destroys health, and with it the sweetness of life… Thousands have indulged their perverted appetites, have eaten a good meal, as they called it, and as the @9result@7, have brought on a fever, or some other acute disease, and certain death. That was enjoyment purchased at immense cost. Yet many have done this, and these @9self-murderers @7have been eulogized by their friends and the minister, and carried directly to Heaven at their death. What a thought! @9Gluttons in Heaven! No, no; such will never enter the pearly gates of the golden city of God@7.”
Genesis 204:3
@@@^“For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.” Isa. 14:13. Lucifer wished to ascend in the sides of the north because God’s throne is there. Said the Psalmist, “Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the @9north@7, the city of the great King.” Ps. 48:2.
Exodus 135:2
@@@^“A special commission was granted to Cynegius, the Preatorian prefect of the east, and afterwards to the Counts Jovius and Gaudentius, two officers of distinguished rank in the West; by which they were directed to shut the temples, to seize or destroy the instruments of idolatry, to abolish the privileges of the priests, and to confiscate the consecrated property for the benefit of the emperor, of the church, or the army . . . Many of those temples were the most splendid and beautiful monuments of Grecian architecture; and the emperor himself was interested not to deface the splendor of his own cities, or to diminish the value of his own possessions . . . In Syria, the divine and excellent Marcellus, as he is styled by Theodoret, a bishop animated with apostolic fervor, resolved to level with the ground the stately temples . . . But when a sentence of destruction against the idols of Alexandria was pronounced, the Christians set up a shout of joy and exultation whilst the unfortunate Pagans, whose fury had given way to consternation, retired with hasty silent steps . . . Theophilus proceeded to demolish the temple of Serapis, . . . and to content himself with reducing the edifice itself to a heap of rubbish, a part of which was soon afterwards cleared away, to make room for a church, created in honor of the Christian martyrs.”—“Gibbon’s Rome,” Vol. 3, pp. 140-146.
Exodus 243:2
@@@^“It was a lonely region where he found his home, in the midst of barren hills, wild ravines, and rocky caves. But it was his choice to forego the enjoyments and luxuries of life for the stern discipline of the wilderness.”—“The Desire of Ages,” p. 101.
Exodus 263:1
@@@^Therefore, in the time of the “Loud Cry,” miracles are wrought—the sick will be healed, the eyes of the blind shall be opened, the deaf shall hear, the tongue of the dumb loosed, and the lame shall leap for joy! What a glorious sight! Those who have never seen light, to behold the glory of the Lord! They who have never heard a sound, now listening to the glorious melodies of the angels’ harps, and the singing of the saints! What a thrill! What bliss! “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” (Rev. 21:4.)
Exodus 263:3
@@@^As the living saints witness the dead of all ages rising from their dusty beds, it will bring joy indescribable. Then to behold friends and loved ones as they meet each other, clothed in glorious incorruptible bodies, marching through space via sinless planets, and finally into the Heaven of heavens! What a glorious train of immortal beings—saints and angels, and the King of kings, the Lord of lords, “the everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace,” in the midst of them! Swiftly flying from the sin-cursed earth to the Center of centers in but “seven” days, while it would take “light” millions of years to make a trip of such incomprehensible distance! Can you perceive of an object moving with such tremendous velocity! God forbid that we should rob ourselves of glory like this. An hour’s time lived in heaven, without sin, pain or tears, fear or death, is worth more than a thousand years in tents of wickedness.
Leviticus 1:1
@@@^It is certain that all concerned will be glad to know that the first of the series of news items relative to present truth is now being circulated herein. Therefore let us pray to the end that it will grow with mushroom speed; have the fabric of a palm tree; the grip of an octopus; clear as crystal, and glittering as transparent gold; moving “as the appearance of a flash of lightning” (Ezek.1:14); sweet as honey (Ezek. 3 :3) to those who are searching for truth as for “hidden treasure” (Matt. 13 :44), and as bitter as “wormwood” (Rev.8:11) to those who seek to enjoy the pleasures of Egypt for a season.
Leviticus 2:1
@@@^“All this time the preacher’s little wife was weeping, but not with broken heart, but for joy, and the entire church was in tears as well as the visitors of whom there were about thirteen, who are ardent believers in the reformatory message of “The Shepherd’s Rod.” One of the ladies said that it was an insult to their intelligence to submit such a proposition as that submitted by the conference. It certainly was.”–July 10, 1934. @3(Signed) E. T. Wilson.
Numbers 4:3
@@@^Sister Hermanson asks the co-operation of every worker in reference to perfecting the mailing list for the “Symbolic Code.” The present necessity is that she be supplied with the names and addresses of all isolated believers in Present Truth. We must all respond, in this matter, promptly upon reading these words, if we wish to see our isolated fellow-believers also enjoy this issue of “The Symbolic Code.” We have full faith this urgent call will be immediately answered by all.
Deuteronomy 1:9
@@@^We are sorry that our brethren have allowed themselves to be controlled and lead by the spirit of the papal tyrant of the dark ages. Thus our hearts are saddened for those who think they are doing God service by crowning themselves as “correctors” of “heretics,” and not for those who are being persecuted, for to them the promise is: “Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.” (Lu. 6:22, 23.)
Joshua 3:8
@@@^@0Extract from Bro. H. K. Livingstone’s letter dated Sept. 18, 1934.@^It is just too wonderful for words to express the joy and happiness I have found in the study of the SRod message. It has filled a long felt need. I can not praise my heavenly Father enough for this great blessing....and it has drawn me closer to my Saviour and as I once was blind, I now see and praise my Father for sending me this new light for this time.
Judges 1:4
@@@^We made a very encouraging visit to the Charleston-Columbia section, spending from Wednesday morning until the following Tuesday afternoon with the believers in these two places....It was a great joy to these dear children of the Lord to learn what had been done in Georgia, and I believe they are taking courage from the report to increase their activity in laying the ‘siege.’ @{{1SC5: 1.4@7@5
Ruth 2:2
@@@^During this time my food and money ran out and things looked dark. I went into the field and pulled a handful of alfalfa along with some mustard greens, enjoyed a good salad, and went back to work. Thus I learned precious lessons in trusting in the Lord and of the possibilities in health reform.
1 Samuel 2:7
@@@^We all surely enjoyed the last Code and are eagerly awaiting the next issue. We are having a time here and can see that the trouble is just commencing. The Mission Superintendent is expected to be here shortly, and they plan on guarding the door so they can have quarterly services without us present!
1 Samuel 3:12
@@@^We have been Adventists nearly 16 years and are stronger in the old truth than ever before. Soon after coming into the church in Charleston, S. Carolina, we found that the church was not much different from the world. From that time on we have been mere mental Adventists. But now, thanks to the SRod, we have regained our first love. Praise God! I could shout for joy! @3(Signed) Mrs. W. L. Harper@4Richmond, Va.
2 Samuel 2:5
@@@^Let everyone remain at the post of duty as though all the work of God rested on his shoulders. God has forewarned that everyone @9must remain in the church@7 where he belongs, regardless of what may happen to his church membership. It is not our names on the church books that saves us, but the keeping of the truth. Complete instructions have been given in the SRod, Vol. 1, pp. 28-9, also 245-252; tract #2, p. 41; tract #4, p. 45. Let every one aim to be one of the 144,000 by careful observance of the instructions given, and then the barriers now erected against the truth will crumble to the ground like the walls of Jericho. The Lord “shall appear to” our “joy” and those that cast us out “shall be ashamed.” (Isa. 66:5.)
1 Kings 2:8
@@@^“Christ said of Himself, ‘Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.’ The Prince of Peace, @9He@7 was yet the @9cause@7 of @9division@7. He who came to proclaim glad tidings and to create hope and joy in the hearts of the children of men, opened a controversy that burns deep and arouses intense passion in the human heart. And He warns His followers, ‘In the world ye shall have tribulation.’ ‘They shall @9lay their hands on you@7, and @9persecute@7 you, @9delivering you up to the synagogues@7, and into @9prisons@7, being brought before kings and rulers for My name’s sake.’ ‘Ye shall be @9betrayed@7 both by @9parents@7, and @9brethren@7, and @9kinsfolks@7, and @9friends@7; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.’
1 Kings 4:6
@@@^Therefore “beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified.... For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God.” (1 Pet. 4:12-14, 17.)
1 Kings 6:8
@@@^We were made to feel very sad because these dear folks here are doing the same as the Jews did in the days of Christ, when they crucified Him. But with Him we asked the Father to forgive them for they know not what they were doing. Some day, if they do not repent, they shall stand before the judgment bar and be ashamed. Yet with all this sadness, we are made to rejoice because of the consolation found in Isaiah 66:5, “Hear ye the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at His word: your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for My name’s sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but He shall appear to @9your joy@7, and @9they shall be ashamed@7.”
2 Kings 7:4
@@@^Not that I have either been sick or idle, but because I have been enjoying the testimonies of others, is the reason for my silence during the past three months, but I do want to add my testimony to yours in the present issue of the Code, for God has been good to me, and signally blessed my feeble efforts in the little corner where I have been laboring.
