@@@^Such arguments against the SRod only prove that the opposers of Present Truth are just as “blind” as prophecy describes them to be (Rev. 3:17). A careful examination of what “The Shepherd’s Rod” says in reference to “the song of Moses and the Lamb” will prove to the reader that only he who is willing to misunderstand can possibly believe that Volumes one and two of the SRod contradict one another on this point.
Joel 11:1
@@@^Moreover, whatever interpretation we may place on any statement in reference to any truth, must be in harmony with every other statement on the subject. In confining the time of trouble to a period after the close of probation, the questioner is not in harmony with “Early Writings,” pp. 85, 86, for we read there that “ ‘The commencement of the time of trouble,’ here mentioned, does not refer to the time when the plagues shall begin to be poured out, but to a @9short period just before@7 they are poured out, while Christ is @9in the sanctuary@7. At that time, while the work of salvation is closing, trouble will be coming on the earth, and the nations will be angry, yet held in check so as not to prevent the work of the third angel. At that time the ‘latter rain,’ or refreshing from the presence of the Lord, will come, to give power to the loud voice of the third angel, and prepare the saints to stand in the period when the seven last plagues shall be poured out.” This reference perfectly harmonizes the apparent contradiction between “A Word to the Little Flock” and our tract No. 3, “The Harvest.”
Joel 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.
Joel 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.”
Amos 3:6
@@@^In harmony with the foregoing command, Mt. Carmel has begun to enlarge the place of her tents, by doubling her acreage as announced in “The Symbolic Code” of———————; to stretch forth her curtains (organize—protect herself against all undesirable elements) by establishing a thorough organization after the pattern of the theocracy of ancient Israel, “wonderful alike for its completeness and its simplicity (“Patriarchs and Prophets,” p. 374); “to lengthen the cords (revealing truth), by exhibiting in a forthcoming publication the herein announced organization; and to strengthen her stakes (representatives), by establishing each one at his post of duty.
Amos 8:8
@@@^Moreover, as there is no truth where there is no type, the working out of divine design, in ordaining and establishing, on Friday, the sixth day of creation, the marriage institution, and on the seventh day, the Sabbath, thus gave type both to the reestablishing of these institutions, and to the restoring of them to the sanctity and beauty of their first estate. And as we must observe the Sabbath on the seventh day, likewise we ought to solemnize marriage on Friday, the sixth day of the week.
Amos 8:12
@@@^Hence, the many friends of “The Shepherd’s Rod,” well remembering how that, from the very beginning that divine guidance has so strangely to human planning shaped and characterized the progress of the sealing message, will anew be greatly, surprised and rejoiced to see the oft’ fulfilled predictions lending still further evidence to the truth of the message by again fulfilling themselves with remarkable point and accuracy, this time in an event, in the singularly coincidental aspects of which, ‘the man of wisdom shall see’ more than mere fortuitous circumstance.
Amos 8:13
@@@^Exactly at the close of the seventh year of the sealing message, and, as with our father Adam, on Friday, the sixth day of the week, January 1, the outworking of Providential purpose and design, restoring type in antitype, united in holy wedlock Brother V. T. Houteff and Miss Florence Hermanson, who has been connected with the message of Present Truth from its inception, and who, for the past three years, has been in active service to this cause. The ceremony, performed by Elder E. T. Wilson, was simple, solemn, and unforgettable, beautifully befitting the occasion. Moreover, it was the first marriage on Mt. Carmel, the home of the Elijah message, which is now in the process of restoring ‘every divine institution.’
Amos 10:1
@@@^“We must follow the directions given through the Spirit of prophecy. We must love and obey the truth for this time. This will save us from accepting strong delusions. God has spoken to us through His word. He has spoken to us through the testimonies to the church, and through the books that have helped to make plain our present duty and the position we should now occupy.”—“Id., p. 308. “The volumes of ‘Spirit of Prophecy,’ and also the Testimonies, should be introduced into every Sabbath-keeping family, and the brethren should know their value, and be urged to read them. . . . They should be in the library of every family, and be read again and again. . . . It is not alone those who openly reject the Testimonies, or who cherish doubt concerning them, that are on dangerous ground. To disregard light is to reject it.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, pp. 681, 680. “The plain, straight testimony must live in the church, or the curse of God will rest upon His people as surely as it did upon ancient Israel because of their sins.”—Id., Vol. 3, p. 269. “Those followers of Christ who accept the light that God sends them, must obey the voice of God speaking to them when there are many other voices crying out against it. It requires discernment to distinguish the voice of God.”—Ibid., p. 258. .
Amos 10:6
@@@^God is finishing His work. Many are studying the reformatory message, but have not, as yet, attained courage enough to acknowledge whence the light comes. As a result of the message that has been so ridiculed by a great denomination, hundreds and thousands have begun, in greater or lesser degree, to study Sister White’s writings,—and the true child of God will treasure every word of council given, and will seek God daily for enlightenment to be able to discern between right and wrong. The honest seeker for truth will not be disappointed in that day when God shall have made up His jewels.
Amos 10:8
@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^I have had many strange experiences in connection with churches and religions, but along with the good food which they gave me, I found plenty of husks. Since coming in touch with the SRod, I have been getting the real meat of the Gospel. It is just what I have been searching for, “the truth and the light,” and now I rejoice that I have at last found it.
Amos 11:2
@@@^We have two brethren studying the tracts, and we are ordering Volume One of ‘The Shepherd’s Rod’ to give to one of them. Our faith grows stronger all of the time, and we are searching each day for every ray of light on Present Truth. Pray for us. @2Best wishes from your@3Brother and Sister B———,@4Florida
Amos 11:3
@@@^@@Dear Brother:@^My heart is on fire for the message because of my experience with it, and because of the opposition which it surmounts, which latter fact, too, bears evidence of the truth of the message, and which is attested to in the following testimonies:
Amos 11:5
@@@^“But as real spiritual life declines, it has ever been the tendency to cease to advance in the knowledge of the truth. Men rest satisfied with the light already received from God’s word, and discourage any further investigation of the Scriptures. They become conservative, and seek to avoid discussion.”—Id., Vol. 5, pp. 706, 707.
Amos 11:6
@@@^“When God’s people are at ease, and satisfied with their present enlightenment, we may be sure that he will not favor them. It is his will that they should be ever moving forward, to receive the increased and ever-increasing light which is shining for them. The present attitude of the church is not pleasing to God. There has come in a self-confidence that has led them to feel no necessity for more truth and greater light . . . God wills that a voice shall be heard arousing his people to action.” Ibid., pp. 708, 709.
Amos 11:16
@@@^Notice that Sister White, in “Testimonies to Ministers,” pp. 372, 373 quotes Micah 6:12, then adds: “The Lord will work to purify His church. I tell you in truth, the Lord is about to turn and overturn in the institutions called by His name.”
Amos 12:9
@@@^@@Dear Brethren and Sisters at Mt. Carmel Center:@^Greetings to you for the New Year. We who believe that the, message of Ezekiel Nine is Present Truth, number from fifteen to twenty. We are of good courage in the Lord, and are doing what we can to give the message to those who do not know about it as do we. Though we find hard the task of getting those who are prejudiced against “The Shepherd’s Rod” to consent to sit down and study the Bible and the “Testimonies for the Church”, we are nevertheless giving the light to all whom we find to have a mind of their own, and who prize salvation above self-consideration or an easy time, believing that the Holy Spirit will search out all who will become obedient and be purified and made ready for the final test.
Amos 15:6
@@@^“Those who are close students of the Word, following Christ in humility of soul, will not go to extremes. The Saviour never went to extremes, never lost self-control, never violated the laws of @9good taste@7. He knew when to speak and when to keep silent. He was always self-possessed. He never erred in His judgment of men or of truth. He was never deceived by appearances. He never raised a question that was not clearly appropriate, never gave an answer that was not right to the point. He silenced the voice of the caviling priests by penetrating beneath the surface and reaching the heart, flashing the light into the mind and awakening the conscience.
Amos 15:8
@@@^“With extremists, this reform seemed to constitute the sum and substance of their religion. It was the theme of conversation and the burden of their hearts; and their minds were thus diverted from God and the truth. They failed to cherish the spirit of Christ, and manifested a great lack of true courtesy. Instead of prizing the dress for its real advantages, they seemed to be proud of its singularity. Perhaps no question has ever come up among us which has caused such development of character as has the dress reform.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 4, p. 636.
