Page 77 of 316Exodus 299:2
@@@^“And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised . . . And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money every male among the men of Abraham’s house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin @9in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.@7” (Gen. 17:9, 10, 23.)
Numbers 4:2
@@@^“....I want to know and do the truth. I have appreciated the many beautiful truths set be fore me. I feel that I am a better man, having related myself closer to God through them. I realize that something must be done for our people and done quickly. We have suffered many things on account of the way we have related ourselves to the message, but it is not earthly praise that we seek. I praise God for the few in our church here who want pure provender, well winnowed.”
Deuteronomy 2:2
@@@^This seems to be real activity, and let us pray to God that by the faithful efforts of these sisters, many will awake to search the Scriptures for themselves before the “door” is “closed.”
Deuteronomy 3:9
@@@^Volume 5, page 80, shows that He takes charge of the flock at the time of the purification of the church, and “Testimonies to Ministers,” p.300 states: “God will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness.” Therefore, whether we can with our mortal minds fully comprehend God’s ways or not, His Word is true, which in the above shows that though He will carry on His mediatorial work in the heavenly sanctuary up to the close of probation, He will also be, during the time of the Loud Cry, upon earth in the midst of His people the church.
Deuteronomy 4:1
@@@^If it was possible for Him to be in the first apartment of the heavenly sanctuary after His resurrection, and at the same time be upon the throne of God away from the sanctuary (Rev. 22:1; E.W. 55; see tract #3, pp. 21-23), then why would it be impossible for Him to be in the heavenly sanctuary as well as upon the earth, seeing that He is omnipresent? We mortal beings are sometimes apt to draw very narrow conclusions regarding God and His work, and limit His mysteries by comparing Him to our mortal beings.
Deuteronomy 4:2
@@@^If an angel can make the trip from heaven to earth in less than fifteen minutes (Dan. 9:23), then is it not reasonable that Christ also can do likewise? His answer to Mary, after His resurrection, “touch Me not; for I am not yet ascended to My Father: but go to My brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto My Father, and your Father; and to My God, and your God. Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you (John 20:17, 19 ), proves the fact that Christ went to heaven and returned on the same day. Hence, if it is possible for our General Conference president to attend his business in Washington, D.C., and at the same time make a trip to some distant country, which will take him months to accomplish, is it not much more possible for Christ to attend both places while He can travel back and forth by an incomprehensibly greater speed than lightning?
Deuteronomy 4:7
@@@^When God reveals something to a man which he himself cannot find, the Bible term for such revelation is, Inspiration. Hence, Jesus pronounced that Peter was inspired, and the subject of Peter’s revelation was the central theme of man’s salvation Jesus. The essential truth that had to be proclaimed in Peter’s time was that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Consequently, Peter had a message directly from the Father of which he was a debtor to every living soul under heaven, and by which every man was to be judged either for salvation or condemnation.
Deuteronomy 5:1
@@@^Plainly, then, we see that the church is not the key, neither can a man, or set of men, have the power to loose or bind with heaven’s approval, except they do so by a message directly from God. Moreover, it will be noticed that “different periods in the history of the church have each been marked by the development of some special truth adapted to the necessities of God’s people at that time.” G.C. 609. Hence, our attention is called back to the beginning of time.
Deuteronomy 5:3
@@@^So it was also in the exodus movement, for Moses had a message ”keys” from God and by it were God’s ancient people’s freedom, captivity or destruction eternally settled. Thus “Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the Lord hath not sent me. But if the Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the Lord. And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.” (Num. 16:28-32.)
Deuteronomy 5:4
@@@^True, the ceremonial system was committed by Moses to God’s ancient people, but later, when they refused to accept God’s message, which was especially adapted to the necessities of His people in the closing of the typical ceremonial system, Christ took the “keys” from the Jewish leaders and gave them to the founders of the Christian church.
Deuteronomy 5:5
@@@^Notwithstanding the example which God made of the Jewish leaders, the successors to the apostles, as the successors to Moses, by adopting worldly customs and rejecting Luther’s message, they also betrayed their sacred trust. Hence, the “keys of the kingdom of heaven” were taken away from the early Christian church (Catholic later) and committed to the Lutheran, and thus down through the Reformation to the preaching by Wm. Miller. When the Protestant churches at that time rejected Miller’s message, they, too, unwittingly refused to be any longer the stewards of the sacred keys. Thus Miller and his associates possessed them until God’s next message in 1844, when the keys passed from the Millerite movement to the S.D.A. denomination. It is obvious then that the S.D.A. denomination was to have the “keys” during the period of the judgment of the dead, or for the time prior to the Loud Cry of the Third Angel’s Message the judgment of the living.
Joshua 5:6
@@@^Thus as John “...declared that those who claimed to be the chosen people of God were defiled by sin, and that without @9purification @7of heart and life they could have no part in the Messiah’s kingdom” (Desire of Ages, p. 104), just so the Elijah’s message at this time will denounce the denominational corruptions ”the abominations in the midst thereof” (Eze. 9:4) rebuke the prevailing sins, and exclaim: “What greater deception can come upon human minds than a confidence that they are right, when they are all wrong!...They know not that their condition is deplorable in the sight of God....The message to the church of the Laodiceans is a startling denunciation.” ”Testimonies for the Church, “ Vol. 3, pp. 252-3.
Joshua 6:2
@@@^Says the Spirit of Prophecy, “...It is necessary now that the minds of God’s people should be open to understand the Scriptures. To say that a message means just this and nothing more, that you must not attach any broader meaning to the words of Christ than we have in the past, is saying that which is not actuated by the Spirit of God.”–R. & H.,Oct.21, 1890.
Joshua 6:6
@@@^Furthermore, though the title, “messenger of the covenant,” is applied to more than one messenger, it rightfully belongs to the Holy Spirit, and only for the reason that the Spirit of God is in them are they designated by that title. For example, we call the reader’s attention to 1 Pet. 3:18-20. There it is stated that Christ went and preached to the antediluvians by the @9same “Spirit” Who “quickened” Him@7. Being stated that He went by the Spirit and not in person, it proves that Christ accomplished this by that same Spirit through Noah. Hence, Christ being the “Messenger of the covenant,” and He being in Noah by the Spirit, compels us to acknowledge that the title, “messenger of the covenant,” belongs not only to those mentioned in this article, including Noah, but to all God’s chosen messengers in whose message is Christ, by that same Spirit.
Joshua 7:9
@@@^As the great apostasy at that time prepared the way for setting up the papacy, so the healing of the wound in 1929 is preparatory for making an image to the beast,–of the papacy. In order to protect the “very elect”–the 144,000–from falling a prey to the image of the beast, God is now getting ready to cut off the wicked from among the righteous by the fulfillment of Ezekiel Nine. Thus God prevents His church from becoming involved in Babylon.
Joshua 8:2
@@@^The S.D.A. church is symbolized on the leopard-like beast to the extent that it reveals she, like the rest of the Christian churches, rejected the messages brought to her in 1888 and 1930. Some may attempt to question this interpretation of the symbolism, but they cannot deny the fact that the messages were not accepted. This being true proves the symbolism correct. The name over the heads of the leopard-like is @9not@7 “Babylon” but “blasphemy” instead. Every message comes by inspiration, for otherwise it would be no message from God, because the Bible says that “holy men of God (messengers) spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2 Pet. 1:21.) Therefore, to reject such a message is blasphemy against the Holy Ghost. (Matt. 12:31.) As all the churches rejected the messages sent directly to them, the name of blasphemy over the heads is a most logical symbol. Hence, there is no ground upon which one can correctly conclude that the symbolism of the leopard-like makes the church “Babylon.”
Judges 1:3
@@@^We left Georgia with confidence that the Lord had led us there, and we believe these brethren, more than ever, will do their share in helping to fulfill the statement in Volume Nine which says, ‘In visions of the night representations passed before me of a great reformatory movement among God’s people.’ To God be all the glory for this company in Georgia.
Judges 2:2
@@@^The lesson of the hour brought a new meaning to the words, “spake oft one to another,” and one of the thoughts brought out was, that it is by the grace of God that we can still love “the dear brethren who do not see this beautiful light that God is so graciously sending to His people at this time.... @3Your daughter in the faith,@3(Signed) Fannie Lou Woods
Judges 3:9
@@@^Sr. Diamond writes from the Sunny Slope desert convalescent colony at Phoenix, where she has long been fighting to gain back her health, saying; “I have realized ever since 1929 when I joined the S.D.A. church that we needed a reformation.” Then she adds the following reassuring words; “I know the SRod message is Present Truth just as much as Peter knew Jesus was the Son of God...and I like the Present Truth literature so well that I have read it through twice and now am studying it so I will be prepared for the work when God calls.”
Judges 6:9
@@@^We do not know how we could make plainer the question that those who teach the Bible should be supported by the Lord’s tithe than the Spirit of Prophecy has explained it. Sr. White has stated that those who “teach the Word of God, explaining the Scriptures, educating the students in the things of God, should be supported by the tithe money.” (6T 215.) Moreover, she says, “This instruction was given long ago and more recently it has been repeated.” These instructions were not followed then, and it is certain they are not followed now. The trouble largely lies in the fact that these instructions which have been given “again and again” have been slighted which, if available, would explain themselves. However, we may add a few remarks which we hope may be helpful.
