Page 8 of 18Matthew 6:4
@@@^With both parents and children thus faithfully walking in the light and diligently working in Christ’s line,—exchanging their ideas and theories, habits and practices for that which is written; disciplining themselves in self-abnegation, self-control, and self-denial,—with all thus striving, the message might soon reach the church, the Loud Cry be given, the kingdom set up, and the endless ages of joy and peace and happiness ushered in.
Matthew 7:3
@@@^“No family is justified in bringing children to . . . [Mt. Carmel] who are not under the control of their parents. If their parents have disregarded the word of God in the matter of instructing and training their children. . . . [Mt. Carmel] is no place for them. They will only be the means of demoralizing the young people of . . . [this] place, and bringing discord where peace and prosperity should reign. Let such parents take up the neglected work of restraining and disciplining their children before they venture to impose them upon . . . [Mt. Carmel].”—“Testimonies,” Vol. 4, p. 204.
Mark 10:12
@@@^In both the Old and the New Testaments, there is brought to view a religious movement organized and led by the Author of the Scriptures, the first of which is an “ensample,” or type, of the second. Both of these movements called God’s people out of a state of bondage, with specific instruction as to how those comprising the organization might free themselves from slavery, and inherit a land of freedom, peace, and plenty. “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” I Cor. 10:11.
Mark 12:4
@@@^In contrast to the statement of Luke 18:8 are the words of Isaiah: “For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see they righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married. . . . And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.” Isa. 62:1-4, 12. “And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in My wrath I smote thee, but in My favour have I had mercy on thee. Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought;” Isa. 60:10, 11.
John 3:3
@@@^“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. . . . ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” Isa. 55:7, 9, 12.
John 3:8
@@@^So to make endurable our days in this life, the Lord mercifully leaves us with our natural, stony hearts, to serve Him according to the provisions of divine grace. And though it is not convenient to do right even under this provision, it would be still less convenient for a saint with “a new heart” to live in the kingdoms of this world, for in an unrighteous environment his righteous heart would make him miserable. Neither could he, in the Kingdom of God, with his natural, stony heart, endure its enmity against the law of God, nor enjoy the glory of the Kingdom. In other words, whereas on the one hand with our spiritual hearts, in the midst of the kingdoms of sin, we would be excruciatingly miserable in beholding crime, accidents, corruption, disease, and suffering; on the other hand with our sinful hearts, in the sinless Kingdom, we would be intolerably unhappy with ourselves, and unable to enjoy the sublime bliss of peace and righteousness.
John 6:8
@@@^“Now with renewed courage and confidence we are again on our way rejoicing in the blessed hope of winning those crowns of eternal life that Jesus is holding in store for us until we reach the harbor of eternal peace beyond the boundary line of these troubled waters.” @3C. Sealy@3Toledo, Ohio
John 10:9
@@@^“Three years ago we studied and accepted the Present Truth—the promised Elijah message (Mal. 4:5). It has convicted us that we must thoroughly search our lives and, by God’s help, lay aside all our sins. We feel that the SRod message has brought us great comfort in our trials, and inexpressible joy in the hope of a soon established kingdom of peace.” @3Frank and Golda Grimm@3Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
Acts 40:2
@@@^The United States of America is the only government in the world that answers to all these specifications. It originated in a new world (“the earth”), not in the territories of the ancient world (“the sea”). It is the only government which is lamb-like — youthful and Christian, established upon the innocent principles of peace and liberty, having two non-royalist ruling parties (crownless horns), the Republican and the Democratic.
Acts 46:1
@@@^The truth now being clearly established that the scarlet-colored beast is the symbol of the dominion over which reigns “Babylon the great, the mother of harlots,” it follows that her boundaries will extend as far as the boundaries of the nations that bow down to her authority. Therefore, the call, “Come out of her, My people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Rev. 18:4), is a call for them to come out of her dominion, that they share not in her sins, nor receive of her plagues. Those who respond to the Lord’s bidding, must, of course, have a sin-free place to go to, where they may “dwell safely,” though there be “neither bars nor gates” around it (Ezek. 38:11). To this haven they shall be “brought forth out of the nations, and [there] they shall dwell safely all of them.” Ezek. 38:8. So, “all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.” Isa. 54:13.
Acts 48:2
@@@^“Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them: it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set My sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be My people. And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel when My sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.” Ezek. 37:21-28.
Acts 53:1
@@@^Coming back now to our present world crisis, since, as previously mentioned, the crowned kings of today (Rev. 13) have already dwindled to a handful, and since the churches, in their cry for peace and safety, are endeavoring to clasp hands with one another, we should do wisely now to inquire into
Acts 56:2
@@@^So it shall be that “in the days of these kings shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed:” but “it shall stand for ever.” Dan. 2:44. “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” Matt. 24:34. Then, and not until then, may the world expect peace.
Acts 69:1
@@@^It did not call for dethroning the kings, but rather for Christianizing them. Thus peaceably the king of the north succeeded in putting over his scheme to reign as spiritual king of kings in the name of the Christian’s God. First it reigned over nations, second over kings of nations.
Romans 2:7
@@@^Now, as in the days of Christ, the leadership on each side, believing that it bears the charter of revealed Truth, is set to command the Pilot wheel of the Old Ship Zion, so as to take it safely into the haven of eternal peace. The older command of the ship is determined that the younger neither set hand to the wheel nor be heard by the passengers aboard, though “the facts concerning the real condition of the professed people of God, speak more loudly than their profession, and make it evident that some power has cut the cable that anchored them to the Eternal Rock, and that they are drifting away to sea, without chart or compass.”—@9Christ Our Righteousness@7, pp. 50, 51.
Romans 11:10
@@@^And now, Brethren, “I therefore . . . beseech you with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering” that you all endeavor “to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace,” and “recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Romans 11:11
@@@^“If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore . . . be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” Eph. 4:1-3; Rom. 12:17-21.
1 Corinthians 13:3
@@@^Necessarily, then, the former of the two “mountains” is symbolical of the spirit-filled early Christian church prior to 538 A.D., and the latter, of the Christian church sometime after 1798 A.D., when it is, as was the early Christian church, fitted for God’s Holy Dwelling Place as described in the following scriptures: “O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I . . . will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles . . . And @9all@7 thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.” Isa. 54:11-13.
1 Corinthians 19:3
@@@^Do not, my Brethren, say: “The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.” For “the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.” Ezek. 12:27, 23. “For Zion’s sake will I not hold My peace,” says the Lord, “and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.” Isa. 62:1.
1 Corinthians 42:2
@@@^The former say: “He is too merciful to visit His people in judgment” by fulfilling Ezekiel 9 upon them, while the latter sigh and cry for the abominations in the midst thereof. Thus whereas behind the grisled horses there is a crying of God’s visitation, there is ahead of the bay, a crying of “peace and safety . . . from men who will @9never again@7 lift up their voice like a trumpet to show @9God’s people@7 their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins. These dumb dogs, that would not bark,” says the founder of the church, “are the ones who feel the just vengeance of an offended God. Men, maidens, and little children, all perish together.” — @9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 211.
