Page 68 of 1472 Samuel 4:8
@@@^“Satan will work His miracles to deceive, he will set up his power as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while @9the sinners in Zion will be sifted out@7. The @9chaff is separated@7 from the precious wheat. @9This is a terrible ordeal@7, but nevertheless @9it must take place@7. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb [in faith walking in the light] and the word of their testimony [giving the message] will be found with the loyal and true [144,000], without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouth. The remnant that purify their souls by @9obeying the truth@7 gather strength from the @9trying process@7, exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding apostasy....The @9great issue@7 so near at hand will @9weed out@7 those whom God has not appointed, and He will have a @9pure, true, sanctified ministry@7 prepared @9for the latter@7 rain.”–B-55-1886.

2 Samuel 5:14

2 Samuel 6:2
@@@^“One brother, who had not yet fully taken his stand for the message, upon witnessing the unfairness of the proceedings, said, ‘If you are going to cast out these good brethren, then you will have to act upon my name also.’ Thus the persecution by the church is making adherents to the message of present truth.
2 Samuel 6:4
@@@^“The Present Truth of the Third Angel’s Message (the angel of Rev. 18:1), as revealed in the SRod, has filled my soul, and the power of the Holy Spirit has convinced me that a great reformation is now in progress, and I thank God for reforming influence in my own life.
2 Samuel 6:6
@@@^“O how thankful I am for the SRod message! It proves from the Bible and Testimonies to be the ‘present truth’ which ‘the flock needs now,’ and I am determined to study and learn more so I can have a part in finishing the work.” @3(Signed) Mrs. Eva R. Orr, @4Greeley, Colo.
2 Samuel 6:9
@@@^“The other day I received a letter from my pastor warning me against the SRod. He sent me the little pamphlet, ‘A Warning Against Error, ‘ but I have found it unreliable, and I know that my pastor has not investigated the teaching of the SRod for himself and is therefore not justified in condemning either it or me, for I am making a thorough study of its teachings, with the Bible and the Testimonies before me, and 1 find more truth every time I read it over...
2 Samuel 6:10
@@@^“I have felt for some time that the little tithe I have should go to ‘the storehouse’–where present truth is–so last week I decided to send it, for if the message is of God, we should support it and be willing to suffer for Christ’s sake. Please pray for me that I may be strong in faith.
2 Samuel 6:11
@@@^“Is the truth still advancing? In the letter from my pastor he said that the General Conference sent Elder ____ to Charleston, S. Car. and succeeded in stamping out the SRod doctrine there, and that it is making a great deal of trouble here and there.
2 Samuel 8:5
@@@^The chief reasons for refusing to separate ourselves from the body and for regularly attending Sabbath School and church services, other than the singular reason that we would be without privilege of public worship in God’s church, is that after the congregation is dismissed we come into contact with the brethren and find an opportunity to speak of the message, urging them to investigate for themselves either by attending our studies or by reading the publications of present truth. Hence, if we separate ourselves by staying away from the churches, we give them the opportunity to accuse us of being an offshoot from the body, and ourselves lose the occasion to contact the people. Moreover, if we separate ourselves from the organization, then in the fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, when those who have not the mark are taken away, we shall have no right to claim possession of the denomination.
2 Samuel 8:10
@@@^The Sabbath School lessons in themselves are very good, but the trouble lies in the fact that those who prepare them, as well as those who teach them, do not sink the shaft deep enough in the mine of truth and as nearly every rebuke and reproof against the denomination is as a rule applied to another people, the benefit which should be derived is lost.
2 Samuel 8:11
@@@^However, we see no reason for condemning these publications, for they are not responsible in themselves. The object of the message which God has sent in the SRod is not to condemn the papers but to bring about a reformation among us as a people. Hence, if and when the men who contribute to the papers be reformed, then the publications will also be transformed and filled with present truth, and be powerful to reform others.
2 Samuel 9:2
@@@^Answer: We personally are aware of no statement of such import. However, though it is true that the people of God must present an united front, nevertheless when God calls for us to move on in the prosecution of truth, we are not to disregard His voice but to march on, and those who refuse to walk in the light we must leave behind, for we are not to repeat the history of the Jews.
2 Samuel 9:9
@@@^“And now to all who have a desire for truth I would say, Do not give credence to unauthenticated reports as to what Sr. White has done or said or written. If you desire to know what the Lord has revealed through her, read her published works. Are there any points of interest concerning which she has not written, do not eagerly catch up and report rumors as to what she has said.”–5 T 696.
2 Samuel 9:15
@@@^Hence, the statement, “He has not only removed the ‘candlestick’ but is calling for the tithes and offerings into ‘His storehouse’ of present truth, and also for 144,000 servants,” explains itself that God has removed the candlestick (church) from the charge of the “angel” (Rev. 3:14)–the present ministry. The Spirit of Prophecy says this will be done”...When the work goes forward under the direction of the angel who joins the third angel in the message to be given to the world. God will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking @9the reins in His own hands@7. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness.” T.M. 300. Again, in Vol. 5, p. 80 we read that God will put aside those “self-sufficient, independent of God” whom “He can not use,” and will @9disclose to view@7” those “precious ones now hidden, who have not bowed a knee to Baal.”
1 Kings 2:6
@@@^When the Spirit of Prophecy warned us long ago that persecution would be the lot of every saint and that it would come first and worst from within the church, we did not realize how it could be possible, until during the last year when such outrages as recounted above began to be committed in the name of truth and righteousness.
1 Kings 2:9
@@@^“This prophecy has been fulfilled in a marked manner. Every indignity, reproach, and cruelty that Satan could instigate human hearts to devise, has been visited upon the followers of Jesus. @9And it will be again fulfilled in a marked manner;@7 for the carnal heart is still at enmity with the law of God, and will not be subject to its commands. The world is no more in harmony with the principles of Christ today than it was in the days of the apostles. The same hatred that prompted the cry, ‘Crucify Him! crucify Him!’ the same hatred that led to the persecution of the disciples, @9still@7 works in @9the children of disobedience@7. The same spirit which in the Dark Ages consigned men and women to prison, to exile, and to death, which conceived the exquisite torture of the Inquisition, which planned and executed the massacre of St. Bartholomew, and which kindled the fires of Smithfield, is @9still@7 at work with malignant energy @9in unregenerate hearts@7. The history of truth has ever been the record of a struggle between right and wrong. The proclamation of the gospel has ever been carried forward in this world in the face of opposition, peril, loss, and suffering.” A.A. 84-5.
1 Kings 3:5
@@@^The division must come. The destruction of “Jerusalem is a representation of what the church will be if it refuses to receive and walk in the light that God has given. Jerusalem was favored of God as the depository of sacred trusts. @9But her people perverted the truth, and despised all entreaties and warnings@7. @9They would not respect His counsels@7. @9The temple courts were polluted with merchandise and robbery@7. Selfishness and love of mammon, envy and strife, were cherished. Every one sought for gain from his quarter. Christ turned from them, saying: ‘O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,’ how can I give thee up? ‘How often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!’ Matt. 23:37...
1 Kings 3:7
@@@^Speaking of the S.D.A. church, the Spirit of God says: “Who can truthfully say, ‘Our gold is tried in the fire; our garments are unspotted by the world’? I saw our instructor pointing to the garments of so-called righteousness. Stripping them off, He laid bare the defilement beneath. Then He said to me: ‘Can you not see how they have pretentiously covered up their defilement and rottenness of character? ‘How is the faithful city become an harlot?’ My Father’s house is made a @9house of merchandise@7, a place whence the @9divine presence and glory have departed@7! For this cause there is weakness, and strength is lacking.”’ 8 T 250.
1 Kings 4:10
@@@^Besides myself there were present two or three other believers in present truth who have also been deprived of their membership rights. Instead of leaving at the pastor’s request, we all kept our seats, for the sister with whom we were sitting, the one who was to be “cast out,” wished us to stay. But seeing our intention to remain, the pastor called out my name, saying:
