@@@^Although we are happy to announce that Mt. Carmel’s Academy is to open on the twenty-first of September, we are sorry to add that we are not yet equipped to receive others than those of elementary and academic ages, and furthermore, that, as we are already crowded beyond capacity, we cannot, for the time being, accommodate more even of these ages. However, from the prayers and assistance of all Present Truth believers, we expect in time to be enabled to accommodate not only more both of the lower and academic grades, but also many of adult years.
Lamentations 3:11
@@@^The foregoing paragraph is a general statement of what are the conditions upon which one may come to Mt. Carmel, but to make it more specific, first the individual must be fully converted to the message of Present Truth; second he must be willing to sacrifice all in the interest of this work; third he must be fitted in some way to be a useful adjunct to Mt. Carmel’s personnel.
Lamentations 4:2
@@@^I have read and reread the literature which you sent, believing the message which it contains, and I am extremely sorry for the existing evils in our churches. It grieves me to know that a church, while professing to be the “remnant of her seed,” and to keep the commandments of God, should become a persecution power against those who are striving to depart from sin! But at this unchristian treatment, I am not at all surprised, for thus it has been in the past, and thus it must be now. Nevertheless, God’s servants were moved to accomplish something, and though Satan by his agents repeatedly attempted to thwart the work of God, God’s servants triumphed. Of this truth we have many examples in the Bible, such as in Sanballat’s and his agents’ trying in vain to stop Nehemiah’s great work of rebuilding Jerusalem. The King’s cup-bearer simply said to the enemies of His work: “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.” Let this be our attitude in the great cause of God.
Lamentations 4:12
@@@^Oh, I am so glad that the dear Lord led me into this glorious light. There is so much to learn, and so much to forget, in order to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the truth. @^In the words of the poet I say,@1“Oh, I’d rather be the least of them,@2Who are the Lord’s alone,@1Than wear a royal diadem@2And sit upon a throne.”@3(Signed) E. A.,@4California.
Lamentations 4:13
@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^I am studying the “Shepherd’s Rod” message, and am amazed at the truth of it. Brother and Sister P. S. Alen are giving me studies. I am desirous of becoming a deeper student of the message, and would enjoy receiving your monthly paper, “The Symbolic Code.” @3From@4California
Lamentations 5:8
@@@^My wife and I are so happy in this sealing message; and the devil knows it. One Sabbath, after the meeting was closed, the German minister came to me, asking if I was a S. D. A. or a “The Shepherd’s Rod” believer, and I replied, “100 per cent for the Rod.” Then he started in running down “this man Houteff”, and after listening for a few minutes, I said, Bro.———, tell me how much present truth did you bring us from the pulpit this morning? You know that your sermon was nothing but brag and boast, just the sort of stuff which Sister White says that those who preach self would hand the flock. Moreover, she says that “while those addressed are flattering themselves that they are in an exalted spiritual condition,” they are “in a sad deception.”—“Testimonies for the Church.” Vol. 3, p. 253.
Lamentations 6:6
@@@^However, it is Satan’s determined purpose to pollute the church by multiplying instead of reducing the disloyal ones, and if it be Satan who is to purify the church by his drastic laws, then it would be neither the Lord of Malachi Three, coming to “purify the sons of Levi,” nor the message of “Early Writings,” p. 270, coming to cause the shaking, which procedure would not only be contrary to all the truth, but to Satan’s own aim also.
Lamentations 7:5
@@@^Nevertheless, the message contained in “The Shepherd’s Rod” does not cut off the mission work in the interest of those who are outside the church, for while the sealing message, “the closing work for the church,” is by its advocates being carried to the church, the church herself is working for those who have never heard of the Third Angel’s Message. Thus, in this way, both the mission to the church and the mission to the world are cared for. But should we, who have embraced Present Truth, devote our time and money, as does the church, in the interest of the heathen, then both the entire church and the world would be plunged into hell. Consequently, we must seek to save the church from the ruin ahead today, as did John the Baptist, Christ, and the Apostles, in their day.
Lamentations 8:8
@@@^Since they have betrayed their trust, it will take the prayers of some one other than the leaders to pray God’s people out of their Laodicean plight, and we are encouraged by the Word of the Lord that He will not blot out His people for the sins of others, but destroy only those who, like in ancient Israel, refuse this privilege of sighing and crying, which God has given to every Present Truth believer; and we should profit by the mistakes of our brethren so that we, too, betray not our trust, as it is written of “the ancient men, those to whom God had given great light, and who had stood as @9guardians@7 of the spiritual interests of the people,” [they] had “@9betrayed their trust@7. . . . These dumb dogs, that would not bark, are the ones who feel the @9just vengeance@7 of an offended God. Men, maidens, and little children, all perish together.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 211.
Lamentations 12:1
@@@^This little paper is dedicated to the mission of conveying, to Present Truth believers, edifying news items and reformatory activities, and of answering questions on 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 especially on the first eight books above mentioned; on Christ’s parables, on types and symbols, also on the writings of Mrs. E. G. White.
Lamentations 12:2
@@@^However, this monthly visitor promises to answer questions on such passages of Scripture only as have been divinely revealed and authoritatively proclaimed—bearing the positive mark of truth. Therefore, it will either give a correct answer to the questions, or else confess its ignorance by saying, “I do not know.”
Ezekiel 2:1
@@@^We are happy to announce that Mt. Carmel’s area is now nearly doubled by the purchase of another tract of land adjoining our original holdings of 189 acres, making a total of 375 acres; and we feel certain that all Present Truth believers will be delighted to know that the acquisition of this additional acreage will make it possible, for those who wish to live independently of the regulations governing Mt. Carmel, to build dwellings for themselves on a most beautiful lake-view frontage, overlooking Lake Waco from an elevation of about 200 feet, besides giving us a better road system, lake water-edge, and about two and one-half miles of highway frontage.
Ezekiel 3:2
@@@^As ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ, “in the closing work for the church, in the sealing time of the 144,000,” our work, especially at this most critical time, is not to collect money for God, but to lead the blind to Him through presenting the message of Present Truth, thus preparing a people to meet their Lord, Who shall soon appear with power and great glory,” “shake the heavens and the earth,” “overthrow the throne of kingdoms,” and “destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen.” (Luke 21:27; Haggai 2:21-22.)
Ezekiel 3:3
@@@^Hence, if we faithfully acquit ourselves of our charge, doing all in our power to bring souls to a saving knowledge of the truth, we need be concerned neither about God’s getting poor nor our going hungry, for where the heart is, there the treasure is also, and if we seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, all these things shall be added unto us. (Matt. 6:33.)
Ezekiel 3:12
@@@^The Fundamentalist group is in perfect harmony with all the fundamental doctrines of the S. D. A. church. It accepts Mrs. E. G. White as a prophetess; believes that what she wrote for publication is inspired in the same way as is all Biblical prophecy; and holds that “no prophecy of the Scriptures is of any private interpretation,” and can no more now be understood without this divine enlightenment than it could in Daniel’s time, when the angel said to him: “I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is @9none@7 that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your Prince.” (Dan. 10:21.)
Ezekiel 4:10
@@@^The light with which the earth is to be lightened is, of course, understood to be a spiritual light—the Word of God. Moreover it is also understood that the church is to diffuse this great light to the ends of the earth, for in no other way will God reveal the truth to sinful men, and the Gentiles see her righteousness, and all kings her glory. (Isa. 62:2.) Consequently, the church from 1844 to the close of probation is divided into two sections—before the Loud Cry, and in the time of the Loud Cry—the latter of which will, by comparison, be far superior to the former in spirituality. In fact, there is no comparison between the two. Hence, those who cannot tell in which one of these stages the church now is, must be in great darkness!
Ezekiel 5:6
@@@^“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 house of merchandise, a place whence the divine presence and glory have departed! For this cause there is weakness, and strength is lacking.
Ezekiel 7:2
@@@^The first part of the verse applies to the first advent of Christ, and the last to the time of the purification of the church. However, the prophecy was made for the express purpose of revealing conditions when the purification shall take place. Thus Christ prophetically calls attention back to a fulfilled prophecy of His sufferings while He was on the cross, emphasizing that there were none with Him, and that, therefore, those who had no part in His agony have no right to own or rule those for whom He has died to set free; and that if they continue to hold His people in bondage and in darkness of the truth, He will tread them in His anger, and trample them in His fury, and their blood shall be sprinkled upon His garments, and He will stain all His raiment, and thus set all His people free.
Ezekiel 9:7
@@@^“Elders of churches, do your duty. Labor from home to home, that the flock of God shall not be remiss in this great matter, which involves such a blessing or such a curse. . . . Every man who bears the message of truth to our churches, must do his duty by warning, educating, rebuking. Any neglect of duty which is a robbery toward God, means a curse upon the delinquent.”—“Testimonies to Ministers,” pp. 306, 307.
Ezekiel 10:3
@@@^“Great objects are accomplished by this system. If one and all would accept it, each would be made a vigilant and faithful treasurer for God; and there would be no want of means with which to carry forward the great work of sounding the last message of warning to the world. The treasury will be full if all adopt this system, and the contributors will not be left the poorer. Through every investment made, they will become more wedded to the cause of present truth. They will be ‘laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life’.”—Vol. 3, pp. 388, 389.
