@@@^“If God, in His providence, has established a school among our own people [at Mt. Carmel], and if in place of sending your [children] where [they] would be in the society and under the influence of those who love the truth, you place [them] in [a worldly class], who have no respect for God or His law, I ask you, how you expect the Lord will work to counteract the evil influence that must surround [them], and which you have voluntarily chosen. Will He commission his angels to do the work which He has left for you to do? God does not work in that way; He expects us to follow the light He has given in His word.
Jonah 11:11
@@@^“When God was about to smite the firstborn of Egypt, be commanded the Israelites to gather their children from among the Egyptians into their own dwellings, and strike their door posts with blood, that the destroying angel might see it, and pass over their homes. It was the work of parents to gather in their children. This is your work, this is my work, and the work of every mother who believes the truth. The angel is to place a mark upon the forehead of all who are separated from sin and sinners, and the destroying angel will follow, to slay utterly both old and young.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 505.
Jonah 13:11
@@@^Then as the sweet thought that these poor truth-starved souls are privileged, just as am I, to be of the antitypical “firstborn,” or “first-fruits”,—the “sons of God”—kept growing bigger and bigger, it slowly transmuted itself into the pitiful picture of cattle herded inside a barbed wire fence to keep them from the green pastures. Then my thoughts were directed to the fearful and alarming command: “Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women but come not near any man upon whom is the mark.” (Eze. 9:6.)
Jonah 13:14
@@@^All these privileges and consequences, yea, and many more, loomed before my mind’s eye as I sat among those truth-starved congregations. I cannot express my gratitude to the Lord for “The Shepherd’s Rod,” which is opening the Scriptures to all who are willing to listen to a “Thus saith the Lord,” and who are ready and eager “to come to the help of the Lord against the mighty.” Shall we not “arise” from our spiritual lethargy (“The Great Controversy,” p. 311; “Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 458), and thus show to all that “light is come,” and that the glory of the Lord is risen upon His people (Isa. 60:1)?
Jonah 14:1
@@@^Only by diligent service may we hope to fill the place which God has for each one of the ever—“living saints.” And if the subjects of the “kingdom of heaven” are comparable to the infinitesimal mustard seed, which grew up to be a tree, so that the birds of the air came and lodged in the branches thereof, then shall we not arm ourselves with the power of the “Spirit of truth” (John 16:13), and be among the @9few@7 who “escape” the wrath of the Lamb and who “gather @9all@7 their brethren out of all nations”? Is not this a more glorious experience to look forward to and talk about than that often discussed ‘fleeing time,” which carries with it the conclusion that God’s people shall go into hiding instead of into glory?
Jonah 14:6
@@@^The Lord helped me in my search for truth, and led me to join the S. D. A. church. After reading Sister White’s message on “God calls for a spiritual revival and a spiritual reformation,” I knew that God would soon start a reformation in the S. D. A. Denomination.
Jonah 14:11
@@@^“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 the time, and we are searching each day for every ray of light on Present Truth. Pray for us. @2“Best wishes from your@3“Brother and Sister———”@4Florida
Jonah 14:12
@@@^Teachers of Present Truth, having before them the example of the tragic results caused by conflicting teachings by the S. D. A. ministry and, in addition to this, having been repeatedly warned to teach only that which has been revealed, and published, stand in great condemnation before God when they set forth conflicting or unauthorized views on any subject. @9Be absolutely certain@7 that you are teaching according to that which is written, and not according to that which you may think should be or will some day be written.
Jonah 16:1
@@@^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.
Jonah 16:2
@@@^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.”
Micah 2:1
@@@^@@Dear Brethren:@^Seven years have gone by since “The Shepherd’s Rod” message began to come, during which time you have bitterly fought its advancement. Seven years’ time should be sufficient for any of you to have discerned that you have been fighting in vain as far as your stopping the progress of the message is concerned. Moreover, you should by this time know that you have been fighting against your own life and against God, Who is trying to save you. Therefore, I must do my best to show you herein that in your oft repeated attempt to retard or stop the work of Present Truth, you have completely failed, and that for this fact you ought to praise God, for had you succeeded in your foolish aim, you would have completely cut yourselves off from His saving arm.
Micah 5:1
@@@^“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. We are living at a time when Satan is at work on the right hand and on the left, before and behind us; and yet as a people we are asleep. God wills that a voice shall be heard arousing his people to action.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 5, p. 709.
Micah 5:3
@@@^“False propositions are assumed as truth and righteousness, and then everything is worked in such a way as to carry out these propositions, which are not in accordance with the will of God, but are a misrepresentation of His character.”—“Testimonies to Ministers,” p. 360.
Micah 5:21
@@@^The shameful truth is revealed in the experience which is conservatively related in the following testimony, and which is typical of what have been the S. D. A. denomination’s religious liberty practices even since the “Shepherd’s Rod” message came to it in 1929, and its members began to accept it as a matter of conscience. A certain sister, having recently fallen a victim in your hands which, sadly, are becoming so cruel, sends the following testimony:
Micah 7:1
@@@^Having thus planted his banner in the home, even “in the households of those who profess to be God’s chosen ones” (‘Testimonies for the Church,’ Vol. 4, p. 200), is it any wonder that parents of today—those in Present Truth as well as those in the church and in the world—are consistently wrong, and in such sad deception, “and knoweth it not?”
Micah 8:3
@@@^“In cases of difficulty with the ones who have them in charge, go directly to those in authority and learn the truth. Bear in mind that the managers of the various departments understand much better than others can what regulations are essential. Manifest confidence in their judgment, and respect for their authority. Teach your children to respect and honor the ones to whom God has shown respect and honor by placing them in positions of trust.
Micah 8:5
@@@^“Satan has had great power over the minds of parents through their undisciplined children. The sin of parental neglect stands marked against many Sabbath-keeping parents. The spirit of gossip and tale-bearing is one of Satan’s special agencies to sow discord and strife, to separate friends, and to undermine the faith of many in the truthfulness of our positions. Brethren and sisters are too ready to talk of the faults and errors that they think exist in others, and especially in those who have borne unflinchingly the messages of reproof and warning given them of God.
Micah 8:8
@@@^“Their children have gloried in their freedom to do as they pleased. They have been released from home responsibilities and have despised restraint. A life of usefulness appears to them like a life of drudgery. Lax government at home has unfitted them for any position, and, as a natural consequence, they have rebelled against school discipline. Their complaints have been received and credited by their parents, who, in sympathizing with their imaginary troubles, have encouraged their children in wrong-doing. These parents have, in many instances, believed positive untruths that have been palmed off upon them by their deceiving children. A few such cases of unruly and dissembling children would do much toward breaking down all authority in the school, and demoralizing the young people of our church. .
Micah 11:3
@@@^5. That parents (or guardians) be prepared either to keep up the students’ expenses, or else turn the students over to Mt. Carmel, who will school and maintain them, provided that they be forever unconditionally free from the ties and dictates of parents (or guardians), and whole-heartedly enter into their training here until they become efficient and dependable, and thus qualified for a place in the work of Present Truth.
Micah 13:3
@@@^“Present truth leads onward and upward, gathering in the needy, the oppressed, the suffering, the destitute. All that will come are to be brought into the fold. In their lives there is to take place a reformation that will constitute them members of the royal family, children of the heavenly King.”—“Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 8, pp. 195, 196.
