@@@^@9Question:@7 “Early Writings, p. 281 says: ‘The plan of salvation had been accomplished, but few had chosen to accept it.’ This statement is used very extensively against the doctrine of the ‘great multitude’ as taught by the SRod. Please harmonize it with the latter’s teaching.”
2 Chronicles 5:1
@@@^O the tragedy of it all! A nation about to perish! Brethren, have we forsaken all and taken Him? Are our lives to those verging toward the irrevocable night of doom an epistle that reads with Pauline sincerity and love that “I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.” This is the love that will “make a break against the barriers of Satan” and bring salvation to the remnant people of God. It is all that will avail us now. It is the genesis of that character which the Spirit of Prophecy portrays in the following words which we ought all profoundly pray are a picture of ourselves:
Ezra 2:1
@@@^As defenders of truth and righteousness, and because of our great love for our brethren, we, like John the Baptist, would rather be beheaded than to have the One Who died for us require their blood at our hands, should we betray our trust which He has laid upon us. Hence, for the salvation of our brethren as well as for ours, with sorrow we are compelled to publish this article, hoping to rescue from the approaching storm as many as possible of those who are about to be swept away by it.
Ezra 5:5
@@@^Moreover, Bro. Houteff’s work has proved that he will not sit in a corner by himself, but will evenly divide with as many as may come to the knowledge of the truth and share Carmel’s burden for the salvation of souls, for thus is he instructed by the Word of the Lord, saying: “Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.” (Mic. 7:14.) For this purpose has he bought the land and settled in the woods, on the top (midst) of Mt. Carmel, by the side of the brook.
Ezra 6:2
@@@^As Amos says, “The habitations of the shepherds shall mourn,” it is obvious that Amos’ prophecy is yet future, for the word “habitations” (places) is in the plural form which cannot be applied to one shepherd’s habitation (denomination) but to all that be in existence at that time. The term “shepherds” means, as understood, the same as “the ancient men which were before the house”–the ministers. “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 211. Note that the shepherds are not themselves to mourn but their “habitations” (their houses); that is, the membership of their churches, which fact reveals that it will be thus at the time when the sleeping multitudes in the churches awake from their spiritual insensibility and find that the shepherds whom they have implicitly trusted for their salvation had deceived all those who followed them.
Ezra 7:1
@@@^“Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one Spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; and @9in nothing terrified by your adversaries@7: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake; having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.” (Phil. 1:27-30.)
Ezra 8:6
@@@^Many of our people are getting their eyes open, and as they do, their confidence becomes shaken in poor frail humanity in whom they have long trusted their salvation, not authoritatively, but traditionally, yet honestly. They have been led to believe that our human organization, which the Lord gave us for the prosecution of the work, is some sort of sacred institution where the consciences of His people are to be surrendered in the hand of men to the extent that they dare not investigate for themselves even the doctrines of the Bible. Nevertheless, the poor sheep are beginning to awake to the situation. We herewith publish a letter to this effect
Nehemiah 3:5
@@@^Mt. Carmel Center has set the example and let all our brethren follow by strictly complying with God’s requirements if they wish to depart from the sins of the world, receive the seal of God and escape the destruction. All should make the necessary adjustments by the next issue of this paper and show to God that you are glad to obey all His righteous requirements, and by your sacrifice demonstrate your love for the salvation of His people that they may not stumble over your sins but be drawn to Him by your good example, and thus also prove true to the message we bear. Those who neglect to strictly comply to the testimony of the True Witness in this reform will be left without an excuse, and when asked: “Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?” they will be speechless. (Matt. 22:12.)
Esther 2:4
@@@^@@From Georgia@0Dear Brethren:@^The SRod message has wonderfully reformed me since the last month. I have corrected my eating and conversation and have gained a greater love for my brethren. Yes, it makes me sad that only so few are enough interested in their salvation to study the truth for themselves. Too many forget that God is just, and merciful. @3(Signed) P.

Psalms 9:1
@@@^Moreover, what is the use of bringing a multitude into the church, making them believe that they are saved when in reality they are lost? As it is contrary to God’s desire to bring into the church those who are not saved (tares) the brethren’s position of only 144,000 living saints is nothing short than of a thought which conveys the idea that the denominational rapid growth, as told by sweeping statements from the pulpits, is not God’s doing, but the doing of the sower of the evil seed whose chief business is to choke out the wheat by a full field of “tares.” Is not such a program a most terrible deception rather than salvation?
Song of Solomon 2:5
@@@^@9This monthly comforter gladly calls on all S.D.A.’s who open their doors and welcome its visit. It freely gives its time to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation and neither collects fees nor makes charges for its unselfish service. It lives on voluntary gifts and free will offerings—it burdens no one and comforts all. Its constant prayer is that all its clients should prosper and be in health even as their souls prospereth. (III John 2.) @7
Song 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 16:6
@@@^“Reform, continual reform, must be kept before the people, and by our example we must enforce our teaching. True religion and the laws of health go hand in hand. It is impossible to work for the salvation of men and women without presenting to them the need of breaking away from sinful gratifications, which destroy the health, debase the soul, and prevent divine truth from impressing the mind.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 7, pp. 136, 137.

Jeremiah 6:6
@@@^“And as the disciples declared that there is salvation in no other name under heaven, given among men, so, also, should the servants of God faithfully and fearlessly warn those who embrace but a part of the truths connected with the third message, that they must gladly receive all the messages as God has given them, or have no part in the matter.”—“Early Writings,” pp. 43, 44, 48, 64, 67, 188, 189.
Lamentations 2:6
@@@^“For Zion’s sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.” (Isa. 62:1, 2.)
Lamentations 7:3
@@@^As was the case with the Jews of old, the same departure from Christ exists now with the church (5 T 217), and as, at Christ’s time, increasing the church membership could not multiply the members in His kingdom, neither can it now, for after they are brought into the church, they again have to be converted to be saved. Besides this, it will take much greater effort to rescue them from their Laodicean “sad deception” (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 3, p. 253) than from their heathenism. There is greater risk of their losing their souls for eternity if they are brought into the church at this time than if they remain in their present darkness, for by their becoming members of the church, without first undergoing a real conversion, they are made to believe that it has secured their salvation, while it has not, and thus they remain as satisfied as though they had “need of nothing,” becoming prejudiced against even a suggestion of more light. In other words, if the church herself is not saved (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 3, p. 253)—not following Christ her Leader (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 217)—and “has become an harlot” (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 8, p. 250), how can she save others? Therefore, the greatest need in the church, and in the lives of those outside the church, also in the advancement of Christ’s kingdom, is this “special work of purification, of putting away of sin, among God’s people” (“Great Controversy,” p. 425), which is the closing work for the church, in the sealing time of the 144,000.” (“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 3, p. 266.)
Lamentations 7:6
@@@^Moreover, after the message is carried to the church and the 144,000, who are to be the servants of God in the time of the Loud Cry, and who shall be endowed with the Holy Spirit, as were the Apostles on the day of Pentecost (“Early Writings,” pp. 277, 278), are sealed, at which time our righteousness shall start forth as brightness, and our salvation as a lamp that burneth, and the Gentiles shall see our righteousness and all kings our glory (Isa. 62:1,2), then will begin the real mission work which was shown to Isaiah the prophet, and described in the following words: “Thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.” (Isa. 60:11,12.) Let us, therefore, happily respond to the following urgent exhortation:
