@@@^In this transition period of “The Symbolic Code,” while emerging from a humble mimeographed sheet to a standard monthly magazine, we feel that it would be appropriate to quote a few lines from the first issue showing how it started its first paragraph with a sincere request, saying: “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; be 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 bitter as ‘Wormwood’ (Rev. 8:11) to those who seek ‘to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season!’ May God bless it that for the ‘abundance of milk’ it shall give may ‘every one’ who is ‘left in the land’ eat ‘butter and honey’ (Isa. 7:22, for so shall they be ‘a great people, and a strong.’ Saith the prophet, ‘There hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it.’ (Joel 2:2.)”
Song of Solomon 3:2
@@@^The merciful granting of our plea in the above prayer the readers of this monthly prophetic agent have doubtless recognized by the fact that its circulation as well as its size are each six times greater than at its beginning—crowning it: with the governmental number of Revelation 12:1—and we would not neglect to mention that since its publishing quarters moved from Los Angeles to Mt. Carmel Center our subscription list has almost doubled, witnessing to the fact that the request of our prayer in the words, “That it will grow with mushroom speed,” is being granted, whereas its firm stand against the attempts of the enemy to refute its contents of truth, to destroy its influence, and thereby its existence, prove that He Who is taking the reins in His own hand has in response to our request given it palm-like fabric, making it stand straight up as a palm tree, even against a most severe wind storm.
Song of Solomon 3:3
@@@^Then, too, having on one side the persecution and, the inhuman treatment which its subscribers receive at the hands of those who are ‘lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God’ (II Tim. 3:4), and on the other side the firm stand that its followers take is a positive proof that its grip of truth on them surpasses even the grip of an “octopus.”
Song of Solomon 3:6
@@@^I am writing the following lines with a prayer that I may be able to help you to stand more firmly on the platform of eternal truth and that you may be filled in your joy “to the stature of the fullness of Christ” in the hope that is within you.
Song of Solomon 6:7
@@@^“My labor has been most discouraging, as I have seen that what God designed has not been accomplished. Often I have inquired in distress, Of what account is all my labor? These brethren took this position: We believe the visions, but Sister White, in writing them, put in her own words and we will believe that portion which we think is of God, and will not heed the other. This course they have pursued, and have not corrected their lives. They have professed to believe the visions, but have acted contrary to them. Their example and influence have raised doubts in the minds of others. It would have been better for the cause of present truth had they both opposed the gifts. Then the people would not have been deceived, and would not have stumbled over these blind teachers. We have hoped and prayed that they might get right, and exert a good influence upon the flock: but hope has died, and we cannot, dare not, hold our peace longer. We have wronged the church of God, in that we have not spoken out before.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 1, pp. 233, 234.
Song of Solomon 7:2
@@@^Satan will have you busy, if he can, watching others that you may forget or have no time to watch yourselves. He, by pointing to the mistakes and errors of those who are not led by God’s Spirit, would have you in constant fear that even those whom God is leading Himself will make a mistake. Thus endeavoring to keep you blind of the mistakes that you have either already made or are about to make, thereby not only leading you into eternal ruin but also hindering the work of God by taking up the time of His servants to iron out difficulties within their own ranks. Therefore, give him no occasion to hinder God’s servants from laboring for those who need to know the truth.
Song of Solomon 7:3
@@@^Of this class of workers Christ says: “They will question and criticize everything that arises in the unfolding of truth, criticize the work and position of others, criticize every branch of the work in which they have not themselves a part. They will feed upon the errors and mistakes and faults of others, ‘until,’ said the angel, ‘the Lord Jesus shall rise up from His mediatorial work in the heavenly sanctuary, and shall clothe Himself with the garments of vengeance, and surprise them at their unholy feast; and they will find themselves unprepared for the marriage supper of the Lamb.’ Their taste has been so perverted that they would be inclined to criticize even the table of the Lord in His kingdom.”—“Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 5, p. 690.
Song of Solomon 8:1
@@@^Ten tithe paying converts will yield as much tithe as the whole income of one of them and if they can live on that much you can, too, and if it should take twice as much for your living as it does for their’s, all you would need to do is to go and win ten more tithe paying souls. Then as long as you are in Christ’s service and in nothing else, and as long as your twenty converts remain faithful and true tithe payers you will have a steady income. I know not of an easier way for making a living than this. Do you? Neither is there any doubt at all for having this much success in winning souls to Christ if your hearts are right with God and if you are working for souls and for the advancement of His Kingdom instead of for “loaves and fishes” and for self-exaltation. Thus entering into Christ’s service will be your credentials—an evidence that God has approved of your conception of the truth, accepted your service, and that you have made “your calling and election sure.”
Song of Solomon 9:14
@@@^Brother B writes the following objections to “The Shepherd’s Rod,” which may not be intended to fight the truth as did the priests and rabbis in the days of Christ but to clear himself in the points the enemies of “The Shepherd’s Rod” have attempted to confuse and bring to bear against the message of today.
Song of Solomon 10:2
@@@^Moreover, even though Brother B’s claim be correct that God had nothing to do with the lesson derived from the number of letters which the names contain, his claim does not remove the fact that inasfar as the English language is concerned with which only the “Shepherd’s Rod” is dealing is correct and free from reproach although the numerical perfection may have come about only by a chance. However, I would rather give God the credit, for as long as I employ every means to emphasize the truth and to exalt the Word I am sure in the day of judgment my deeds would be justified rather than the deeds of him who may by laxness attribute the work of God to a chance. Nevertheless, the Bible sustains the claims of “The Shepherd’s Rod” in that there is nothing hid from God and that all things are “naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.” (Heb. 1:13.)
Song of Solomon 10:3
@@@^Hence, as even the very hairs of our heads are numbered (Matt. 10:30) I am sure that God knew the spelling rules of the English tongue before the English speaking people did, and as He also knew that He would use the English instead of the Hebrew tongue by which to reveal the truth that “The Shepherd’s Rod” contains, He instructed the prophet Isaiah to thus write:
Song of Solomon 10:5
@@@^Therefore, here it is seen that when one sinks the shaft deep into the mine of truth the facts brought neither “invalidate” the “Shepherd’s Rod” “system of exegesis,” @9nor@7 do they “destroy its claim of interpretation,” but completely support it.
Song of Solomon 10:9
@@@^Furthermore, as the definition of the word “inspiration” is to communicate divine instruction free from men’s adulteration, it follows that the ultimate aim behind anyone’s objection against “inspired truths” instead of against “uninspired” ones is to put God out of sight and bring men to the front cutting off the only channel by which God can communicate with His people and by which only He can interpret the Scriptures for His church and interpose the erroneous claims of men.
Song of Solomon 11:3
@@@^Notwithstanding their unbelief in Sister White’s writings even to the present time, this same class of people are now trying to cry down the “Shepherd’s Rod” message by the very writings which they questioned and criticized while their prophet was yet alive. Can it be possible that these critics would know more about what she saw and how she wrote it than she herself? Thus it is now—they claim to know more about Brother Houteff’s experience and how he wrote the truths in “The Shepherd’s Rod” than he himself! If they were so wise why did not God choose them as His messengers instead of her?
Song of Solomon 11:7
@@@^Moreover, Brother B unwittingly confesses that Brother Houteff will never attempt to prevent any increase of truth reaching the people regardless by whom it comes no more than any of God’s “inspired” messengers ever did. Furthermore, by the fact that Sister White’s “inspiration,” as perfectly followed by “The Shepherd’s Rod,” did not prevent or keep out from the people or from “The Shepherd’s Rod” itself, it proves that neither will the Rod’s “inspiration” keep out another man’s “inspiration.” Still further, had Sister White controlled the denomination with all its institutions, it would not have become what it is now.
Song of Solomon 12:1
@@@^The credit for the message in “The Shepherd’s Rod” Brother Houteff simply places it to Whom it belongs, and those who would like for Brother Houteff to place it on himself are not doing it because they love him or because they like to exalt him above themselves, but because they are sanctioning the claims of the voice from beneath which hates God and the revelation of the Word, tempting Brother Houteff to exalt himself instead of God, blindly deceiving themselves and leading others away from the truth, all because they hate to submit themselves under the rule of Christ now while He is “taking the reins in His own hands.”—“Testimonies to Ministers.” 300. This class of workers Christ prophetically heard saying, “We will not have this man to reign over us.” (Lu. 19:14.) For further explanation on this reference see the October, 1935, number of “The Symbolic Code,” p. 5.
Song of Solomon 12:3
@@@^If this class of people are not willing to accept “Inspired” interpretation now, would they have accepted the Baptist’s message, Christ’s, the apostles,’ and Sister White’s? No, indeed not! In fact, their attitude toward “Inspiration” shows that they do not accept them even now, and if they do not submit themselves to “Inspiration” how would they ever know the truth? for the Bible says:
Song of Solomon 13:2
@@@^Had not “The Shepherd’s Rod” openly given God the credit for its truth, its enemies would have said, “It is not inspired and we need not heed its warnings.” This is exactly the way the great men in Christ’s day did—on one hand they found fault with John the Baptist because he ate nothing but wild honey and locusts, and on the other hand they accused Christ of eating and called Him “a man gluttonous, and a winebibber.” (Matt. 11:18, 19.) They claimed that He was not sent by God, uninspired, unlike Moses, and asked Him: “By what authority doest Thou these things? or who is He that gave Thee this authority?” (Lu. 20:2) and the Spirit of Prophecy declares:
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.
Isaiah 2:1
@@@^@9This little paper is dedicated for the conveyance of news items and reformatory activities to Present Truth believers; to answer questions in connection with the sealing message of the 144,000 (Rev. 7:1-8) and the great multitude (Rev. 7:9); on the prophecies of Isaiah, Zechariah, Zephaniah, Micah, Hosea, Joel, Daniel, the Revelation, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, etc., but more fully on the first eight books above mentioned; on Christ’s parables, on types and symbols, and also on the writings of Mrs. E.
