Page 9 of 182 Corinthians 9:6
@@@^Here we see that the coming work of making rid of the flood, thereby freeing the church from the unconverted, is the work of “the harvest” in “the end of the world.” Matt. 13:39. Next we must ascertain whether the “end of the world” brings the@9 millennial age of peace@7 or the @9great time of trouble @7such as never was. To determine this, we must consult subsequent events.
2 Corinthians 9:7
@@@^Since it is after the earth swallows the flood, that the dragon is to be wroth with the woman and to go “to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Rev. 12:16, 17), there is no escaping the conclusion that the harvest, in taking away Satan’s flood, his multiplied tares, does not bring the millennium of peace. Indeed not, but rather it brings his wrath—the time of trouble such as never was: the time in which God’s people in Babylon are called to “come out of her” and into His purified church—the Kingdom.
2 Corinthians 15:4
@@@^“And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the places round about My hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing. And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.
2 Corinthians 15:10
@@@^“These and other scriptures clearly proved to Miller’s mind that the events which were generally expected to take place before the coming of Christ, such as the universal reign of peace and the setting up of the kingdom of God upon the earth, were to be subsequent to the second advent.”—@9The Great Controversy@7, p. 323.
Galatians 3:1
@@@^“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 thy 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.” Isa. 62:1-3.
Galatians 17:1
@@@^“Moreover,” saith the Lord, “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. 37:26-28.
Galatians 47:2
@@@^“And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even My servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the Lord will be their God, and My servant David a prince among them; I the Lord have spoken it. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.” Ezek. 34:23-25.
Galatians 47:3
@@@^Thus His church, or kingdom, is again reflected without “spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing” (Eph. 5:27), a theocracy of peace, safety, and invincibility, under the rule of one shepherd and a king — David, His servant. But the fact that many kings reigned over Israel, may in the minds of some give rise to the question:
Galatians 53:3
@@@^As Saul, furthermore, defied God by refusing to abdicate the throne, and by seeking the life of His anointed, king David, so now at the sounding of the trumpet today, we find the General Conference refusing to let God take the reins in His Own hands (Testimonies to Ministers, p. 300), their attempting to usurp His throne by determining that they are to rule the denomination until the end of this world, and their availing themselves of every chance to cast us out of their midst, in order to safeguard their control of it. Those who are doing this are they whom the prophet Ezekiel prophetically heard saying: “This city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.” Ezek. 11:3. They are now doing everything possible to exalt and to perpetuate themselves in power, and to be rid of those who have in the name of the Lord “published peace,” and brought to them the “good tidings” that “the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.” Nah. 1:15. But “this city shall not,” says the Lord, “be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel.” Ezek. 11:11.
Galatians 54:2
@@@^In rejecting the message which has come to them with warnings and reproofs, and in continuing in their evil ways, our brethren are compelling the Lord to cut them down by the slaughter weapons of Ezekiel 9, unless they immediately repent. Though on the way to suicide with Saul, yet they are saying in their heart: “The Lord will not do good, neither will he do evil. He is too merciful to visit his people in judgment. Thus peace and safety is the cry from men who will never again lift up their voice like a trumpet to show God’s people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins. These dumb dogs, that would not bark, 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.
Galatians 65:2
@@@^“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” Isa. 11:6-9. When this state of knowledge and peace prevails in the kingdom, then “in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the @9Gentiles seek@7: [consequently it is in probationary time] and . . . in that day, . . . the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people.” Isa. 11:10, 11.
Galatians 66:1
@@@^“And in that day,” says the Lord through His prophet Hosea, in reiteration of His covenant of peace, “will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.” Hos. 2:18. (For a detailed treatment of Hosea’s chapters one and two read our Tract No. 4, @9The Latest News For Mother@7.)
Galatians 66:2
@@@^As in Noah’s ark, the type, so in the antitypical ark, the kingdom, nothing shall hurt or destroy: the lion, the wolf, the lamb, the leopard, the calf, and the fatling shall live peaceably together and, like the ox, all shall feed on “straw.” Thus now, as in Noah’s time, God shall preserve a remnant of man and beast out of His whole creation, instead of exterminating every living thing, and then creating them all over again.
Galatians 67:1
@@@^“And He will destroy in this mountain [this kingdom of peace],” says Isaiah, “the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of His people shall He take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
Galatians 75:2
@@@^“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
Philippians 13:1
@@@^The millennial age of peace is hence, plainly, to be spent, not on the earth, but in the “mansions” above, for the Lord’s promise is: “I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:2, 3.
Philippians 40:1
@@@^The Scriptures exhort that those in the Truth be “in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless” (2 Pet. 3:11-14), and the more so now while He is
Philippians 45:3
@@@^The Scriptures show that the kingdom is set before, rather than at, the beginning of the millennium, for “in that day [in the day the kingdom is set up and peace reigns] . . . a root of Jesse [the rod and the Branch] . . . shall stand for an ensign of the people [of the kingdom],” says Isaiah, and @9“to it shall the Gentiles seek.”@7 Isa. 11:10. And as after the close of probation, the doors of the kingdom will be shut to all, the ensign must therefore be set up before probation closes: the only time that the Gentiles will have a chance to be converted to the Lord and to His kingdom, — a conclusion common to the following scriptures:
Philippians 51:3
@@@^@01. They are the “firstfruits.” Rev. 14:4. @02. They are sealed in time of peace while the four angels are “holding the four winds.” Rev. 7:1-3. @03. They are “not defiled with women.” Rev. 14:4. 4. @04. They have in their mouths “no guile. Rev. 14:5 @05. They stand with the Lamb on Mt. Zion, and, follow Him “withersoever He goeth.” Rev. 14:1, 4. @06. They have the “Father’s name written in their foreheads.” Rev. 14:1. @07. Following their sealing, a great multitude “of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues,” says the Revelator, “stoodbefore the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands.” Rev. 7:1-9.
Philippians 68:3
@@@^The tares and the wheat were commingled in the former instance because “while men slept,” says the Lord, the “enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat”; whereas the wheat is kept free from the tares in the latter instance because, says the Lord: “I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night.” Isa. 62:6.
