Page 7 of 39Hosea 2:5
@@@^In the New Testament, we find the Apostle Paul, a man who always desired to attain to greater heights, realizing upon taking a retrospect of his pre-christian, or early life’s labors, that they were not satisfactory either to himself or the Master Worker, declaring emphatically, “I determined not to know any thing among you,save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” As the burden of the work rests more and more heavily upon this veteran soldier of the cross, and as he realizes that there are still higher standards for him to reach, and as he desires not to be considered boastful, he humbly confesses that “I count not myself to have apprehended,” after which he bursts forth in strains of holy zeal and eloquence,born of deep earnestness, resolving unto himself that “this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Then follows His admonition to the brethren, which clearly shows that those who were “thus minded” were to “walk by the same rule”, being “followers together of ” Paul in this determined purpose to make the future better than the past.
Hosea 6:10
@@@^It would be impossible for the events above cited to have taken place in the same morning, for the former quotation says: “As @9soon @7as it was day, the Sanhedrin again assembled,” and the latter states that it was “so early an hour.” Consequently, the trial before the Sanhedrin was in the morning prior to the day when at “@9so early@7 an hour” Jesus was brought before Pilate; thus proving that each event took place on a different day. And, as Jesus was brought “the second time” into the council room of the Sanhedrin on Thursday morning “as soon as it was day,” it proves that He was tried before Pilate on Friday morning.
Joel 6:2
@@@^In like manner, the great apostle to the Gentiles, who, upon meeting Jesus for the first time, made inquiry as to what he would do, and who, further, desiring to reach a higher standard, set for himself a goal, or resolved that he would remember not the “things which are behind,” but would “press toward the mark,” even the “high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” This determined purpose was so sacredly guarded all through his life that when the eventide came, he was able to say, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” Our pledges or vows are no less binding than were those of Christ and Paul.
Nahum 6:5
@@@^“These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee: as Thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him. And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent. I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy Word is truth. As thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; that they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me. Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me. And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” (John 17:1, 3, 15-26.)
Nahum 10:12
@@@^“Also, John 18:28, speaking of the time when Jesus was before Pilate, says, ‘And it was early.’ Mark 16:9 says, ‘Now when Jesus was risen early.’ If the ‘early’ mentioned in John is at the sixth hour, then must not the time (‘early’) of His resurrection have also been at, or shortly after, the sixth hour?”
Nahum 10:13
@@@^“The Shepherd’s Rod,” does not teach that Jesus was at sunrise seized by the mob, but rather at about midnight, and that about, or shortly before, daylight He was brought before Caiaphas. (See illustration on p. 22 of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” Vol. 2.) “The Desire of Ages,” in the above citation, is talking about the Roman soldiery’s seizing Jesus in the garden, whereas, “The Shepherd’s Rod” is talking about the Jew’s seizing or arraigning Him for a legal trial before the Sanhedrin.
Nahum 11:5
@@@^In the above scriptures, two “sixth” hours are presented. In the first instance, Jesus was in Pilate’s judgment hall, but in the second, He was hanging on the cross at which time the sun’s face was veiled and the whole earth was covered with darkness. Inasmuch as circumstances clearly show that, these two “sixth” hours were twelve hours apart, and inasmuch as @9the sun darkened while Jesus was hanging on the cross@7, the latter sixth hour must have been in the day time, whereas, the former sixth hour must have been in the night time.
Nahum 11:8
@@@^Inasmuch as Jesus ate the Passover feast with the disciples before He was seized by the Roman soldiery and the mob (Luke 22:7-14), therefore, the fourteenth day of the month, the day on which the Passover lamb was to be slain, fell on Wednesday; the first of the feasts was on Thursday, at which time the midnight seizure took place; and Jesus was tried before Pilate, crucified, and buried on Friday.
Haggai 8:10
@@@^Sanctification is not the work of a moment, an hour, or a day. It is a continual growth in grace.” “Jesus, considered as a man, was perfect, yet He grew in grace. Luke 2:52, ‘And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.’ Even the most perfect Christian may increase continually in the knowledge and love of God.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, pp. 339, 340.
Malachi 3:3
@@@^Not one of us can even dare to compare our greatness with that of Jesus, yet He believed all the writings of the prophets, and those who consider themselves to be wise, and think it too humiliating to believe all, He calls “fools.” (Luke 24:25.) God’s people still err in this matter. They are stupid. They seem to be incapable of comprehending these facts, as the apostles were incapable of comprehending Jesus’ teachings concerning the “kingdom” then.
Malachi 6:6
@@@^In the last book of the Bible, Chapter 12, verse 17, we find that the devil will be especially wroth with those who “have the testimony of Jesus Christ,” which the author of the book tells us “is the spirit of prophecy.”—Rev. 19:10. And the Apostle Peter makes it clear that the Testimony of Jesus and the Spirit of Prophecy, are the Spirit of Christ in the prophets who “testified before hand.”—1 Pet. 1:11. Thus it was in the apostles’ time; thus it must be now. Hence, the testimonies come from the Spirit of Him Who “spake as no man ever spake.”
Matthew 15:10
@@@^“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise, first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thess.4:13-17. @8
Mark 13:2
@@@^In “Early Writings” we read: “I saw the saints leaving the cities and villages, and associating together in companies, and living in the most solitary places. Angels provided them food and water, while the wicked were suffering from hunger and thirst. Then I saw the leading men of the earth consulting together, and Satan and his angels busy around them. I saw a writing, copies of which were scattered in different parts of the land, giving orders that unless the saints should yield their peculiar faith, give up the Sabbath, and observe the first day of the week, the people were at liberty after a certain time, to put them to death. But in this hour of trial the saints were calm and composed, trusting in God, and leaning upon His promise that a way of escape would be made for them. In some places, before the time for the decree to be executed, the wicked rushed upon the saints to slay them; but angels in the form of men of war fought for them. Satan wished to have the privilege of destroying the saints of the Most High; but Jesus bade His angels watch over them. God would be honored by making a covenant with those who had kept His law, in the sight of the heathen round about them; and Jesus would be honored by translating, without their seeing death, the faithful, waiting ones who had so long expected Him.”—“Early Writings,” pp. 282, 283.
1 Corinthians 54:1
@@@^“If Jesus were here today would He recognize us? Indeed, may I say, would we recognize Him? Oh, I trust that the inroads of worldly corruption and poisoning have not prevailed to the place where not even Jesus would recognize us! I feel very solemn and very serious when I think about these things.
2 Corinthians 14:2
@@@^In persecuting Jesus and His followers, the Roman and the Jewish governments were doing a thing as unrighteous as the Unions are doing to day in coercing labor into their ranks, yet Jesus directed His followers then to pay tax to Caesar. So we must conclude that if one is required to pay a fee while working at a trade which permits no “open shop,” he therefore has no alternative to meeting this necessity as one of the shop’s requirements, regardless whether the Union be a good or a bad organization. Thus, though in order to hold his job in support of himself and his family, he may pay the fee which the Unions exact for the opportunity to labor, he will not participate in any of their activities and functions, political, social, or otherwise. In short, he will not have any fraternal connection whatsoever with them.
2 Corinthians 23:13
@@@^True, the love of Jesus is important, but it alone, without the doctrines and the prophecies, will profit one nothing, for through the prophecies and the doctrines one learns of the love of Jesus. “All scripture,” says Paul, “is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Tim. 3:16, 17.
Ephesians 9:2
@@@^Then, concerning the Father and the Son’s moving from the throne of God and of the Lamb — the one where the river of life is — to the throne where the sea of glass is, we read: “I saw the @9Father rise from the throne@7, and in a flaming chariot go into the holy of holies @9within the veil@7, and @9sit down@7. Then @9Jesus rose up from the throne@7,... Then a cloudy chariot, with wheels like flaming fire, surrounded by angels, came to where Jesus was. He stepped into the chariot and was borne to the holiest, where the Father sat.” — @9Early Writings@7, p. 55.
Colossians 5:3
@@@^Thus from this angle also it is made clear that the “preparation” day, the day they crucified Jesus, was Friday — the preparation for the Sabbath in the Passover week; that the Passover lamb, which was killed on Wednesday (the fourteenth day), did not coincide with the crucifixion; and that Jesus ate the Passover on Thursday (the fifteenth day), was arrested the same day before daybreak, crucified on Friday (the sixteenth), buried before the Sabbath, and resurrected on Sunday (the eighteenth). These Biblical facts, which are supported also by tradition, give rise to the question:
Colossians 11:4
@@@^As the “watch” theory cannot be imposed upon the hours during the day, we have no choice but to conclude that Jesus was crucified at the actual third hour (Mark 15:25); that three hours later the sun was darkened at the actual sixth hour (Mark 15:33); and that after three more hours, Jesus died and the sun again appeared at the actual ninth hour of the day (Mark 15:34-37), and not at a certain “watch” of the night.
Colossians 16:3
@@@^Early in the morning, “Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord” (John 20:18); “then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, . . . came Jesus and stood in the midst.” John 20:19. Thus in Jesus’s day, the term “evening” was used to designate the last part of the day.
