@@@^“ . . . saith the Lord God; . . . I will bring . . . Nebuchadnezzar king of @9Babylon@7, . . . from the @9north@7.” Ezek. 26:7. Again: when the Jews were returning from Babylon to Jerusalem, God spoke through His prophet Zechariah, saying: “Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the @9land of the north@7” (Zech. 2:6), thus identifying Babylon as “the north country.” But as we are dealing with the fulfillment of prophecy in the New Testament era, the north country in this connection must be antitypical Babylon — Christianized Rome — where God’s people during the New Testament period have gone. This clear-cut truth concerning the second chariot, leads us to the exposition of
1 Corinthians 31:2
@@@^All seven of these antitypical churches (Rev. 2 and 3) started out well, but sooner or later Satan succeeded in bringing into each one in succession a flood of satanic agencies (figuratively, the “tares”) in the garb of professed believers of the Truth. Especially has this been so with the ministry, by whom he has been able to lead entire churches astray. And always some of the members who have refused to follow the leadership of man in the place of that of Christ, have been cast out. Indeed, whenever God has sent a message to His church, the ministry, instead of standing by the messenger and helping get the message to the people, has fought against it, standing, almost as a unit, in its way, so that it not reach the people! Showing how the ministry tried to put an extinguisher on the “First Advent Message,” and how they persecuted the laity who dared attend Miller’s preaching, church history says:
1 Corinthians 32:2
@@@^“The work did not stand in the wisdom and learning of men, but in the power of God. It was not the most talented, but the most humble and devoted, who were the first to hear and obey the call . . . Those who had formerly led in the cause were among the last to join in this movement.” — @9The Great Controversy@7, p. 402. “The fact that the message was, to a great extent, preached by laymen was urged as an argument against it. As of old, the plain testimony of God’s Word was met with the inquiry, ‘Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed?’ . . . Multitudes, trusting implicitly to their pastors, refused to listen to the warning; and others, though convinced of the truth, dared not confess it, lest they should be ‘put out of the synagogue.’” — @9The Great Controversy,@7 p. 380.
1 Corinthians 33:1
@@@^“ . . . The true followers of Christ . . . do not wait for truth to become popular. Being convinced of their duty, they deliberately accept the cross.” — @9The Great Controversy@7, p. 460. “The half-hearted and superficial could no longer lean upon the faith of their brethren.” — @9The Great Controversy,@7 p. 395. “Instead of questioning and caviling concerning that which they do not understand, let them give heed to the light which already shines upon them, and they will receive greater light.” — @9The Great Controversy@7, p. 528.
1 Corinthians 33:2
@@@^“There has ever been a class professing godliness, who, instead of following on to know the truth, make it their religion to seek some fault of character or error of faith in those with whom they do not agree. Such are Satan’s right-hand helpers.” — @9The Great Controversy,@7 p. 519.
1 Corinthians 37:2
@@@^The dissimilar teams hitched to the fourth chariot, each pulling in a different direction from the other, show not only that there is a double leadership in the Laodicean church, but also that the one is opposed to the other in character as well as in purpose. This condition being a strange one, the wise will well consider it. Seeing that the Word of God has spoken it, and that the symbolism perfectly describes the contest which, before their very eyes, is taking place, they will tenaciously take hold of the truth.
1 Corinthians 40:2
@@@^“Let me tell you, if your heart is in the work, and you have faith in God, you need not depend upon the sanction of any minister or any people: if you go right to work in the name of the Lord, in a humble way doing what you can to teach the truth, God will vindicate you.
1 Corinthians 44:2
@@@^Where else in all Christendom, save in the S.D.A. Denomination (the church of the Laodiceans), is to be found the fulfillment of the prophetic church history unfolded in this study? If this startling revelation of present truth, plain and certain as the conflict itself between Good and Evil, does not reach the Laodicean heart, then nothing can ever reach it. O, Brother, Sister, be not fooled: if this does not reach your heart now in time to save you from the evil to come, it will surely overtake you eventually, but then only to destroy, not to save, you. So stay no longer with the grisled horses in Egypt, for to do so will be only to perish there with them while
1 Corinthians 46:1
@@@^Though the leaders of the S.D.A. denomination are determined to drive out of the church all who believe in the message of @9The Shepherd’s Rod@7, they are trying to make it appear that the @9Rod’s@7 adherents are pulling out for themselves. The paradoxical truth, however, shows that they are to posses “the chariot,” and their refusing to leave the church demonstrates in actuality the certainty of the bay horses’ alone taking the chariot to its destination — “to and fro through the earth.”
1 Corinthians 49:3
@@@^“I tell you solemnly that there are forces and influences at work which, if unchecked, will render us just as unprepared for the @9second@7 coming of Christ as was Israel for His @9first@7 coming. Make no mistake about that. I see those influences at work. The spirit of Sadduceeism is working like leaven, and I want to lift my voice in earnest entreaty that you may see that the door is closed against all such intrusions . . . I summon you all to engage in the fight against the spirit of Sadduceeism, the spirit of worldly conformity, the spirit which, if allowed to go unchecked, will subvert and change the whole spirit and purpose of this movement . . . This question also came to me: Are we, in our defense of these great principles of truth that God has committed to us, allowing the mantle to fall from our own shoulders upon the shoulders of others? Are we going to allow others to step into our places and call the world to a reformation along some of these lines?
1 Corinthians 60:1
@@@^Unless you repent of your present attitude toward the message, “and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart be forgiven thee,” then just so surely as your eyes now read these words, your wrong course will bring upon you, and that very shortly, the fulfillment of that fearful pronouncement of the True Witness: “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing [truth or prophets],” “I will spue thee out of My mouth.”
1 Corinthians 60:3
@@@^Foreseeing that the message was to find you full of self-complacence over your spiritual attainments, the Lord mercifully forewarned you: “Thou art neither cold nor hot;” that is, thou art lukewarm, satisfied. “I would thou wert cold or hot,” — dissatisfied, — wanting everything rather than feeling that you have need of nothing. Then you would not by your actions be saying, “I am rich, and increased with goods and have need of nothing,” — neither truth nor prophets, — but would know that “thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.”
1 Corinthians 63:2
@@@^“Men . . . through selfishness . . . crowd down the very ones whom God is using to diffuse the light He has given them . . . Satan’s skill is exercised . . . He works to @9restrict religious liberty@7 . . . Organizations . . . will work under Satan’s dictation to bring men under the control of men; and fraud and guile will bear the semblance of zeal for truth and for the advancement of the kingdom of God . . . such men assume to exercise the prerogatives of God — they presume to do that which God Himself will not do in seeking to control the minds of men. Thus they follow in the track of Romanism . . . In such arrangements @9the man who allows his mind to be ruled@7 by the mind of another is thus separated from God and exposed to temptation . . . but God has plainly set it before us. He says, ‘Cursed be the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm. — @9Testimonies @7Vol. 7, pp. 179, 180, 181, 178.
1 Corinthians 67:3
@@@^Now our great desire and hope is that each one of you will communicate with us without delay, so that in accordance with God’s Word we may together launch a program for the “siege,” and in such a manner that we can present to the enemy a united front. Then will God work; then will the barriers which have been erected against the Truth and against His servants who are to “be disclosed to view,” fall like the walls of Jericho! “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Rev. 3:22
1 Corinthians 68:2
@@@^P. S. Avail yourselves of the publications containing Present Truth, and get ready for the work. Be of the “wise,” and fill your “vessels” with this extra “oil” for your “lamps.” Our literature will fully reveal that “the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.” Ezek. 12:23. That is to say, the visions of the prophets, which appeared to be full of mysteries, are now become plain facts.
2 Corinthians 2:6
@@@^“But beware of rejecting that which is truth. The great danger with our people has been that of @9depending upon men@7, and making flesh their arm. Those who have not been in the habit of searching the Bible for themselves, or weighing evidence, have confidence in the leading men, and accept the decisions they make; and thus many will reject the very messages God sends to His people, if these leading brethren do not accept them.”—@9Testimonies to Ministers@7, pp. 106, 107.
2 Corinthians 2:8
@@@^Now, in the light of the foregoing statements, will you not, Brother, Sister, take time carefully and prayerfully to ascertain whether or not God is leading in this reformatory work? He has promised to all who will do this, that He will not leave them in darkness but will guide them into all Truth! So will you not take Him at His Word, and try Him?
2 Corinthians 3:1
@@@^Behind their careless attitude is seen the truth that “the pains of duty and the pleasures of sin are the cords with which Satan binds men in his snares” (@9Testimonies@7, Vol. 5, p. 53), while behind the deeply instilled fear of false prophets, is seen the false watchman’s carefulness to keep them from coming in contact with the messengers whom God has sent to them.
2 Corinthians 3:6
@@@^The right answers to these seven important questions to every truth-seeking Christian today will, if understood and heeded, rescue each from the shameful and dangerous Laodicean condition, and safeguard his salvation. This it will do ever so soon as he takes to heart
2 Corinthians 4:7
@@@^From the life line, the saving message, which they pleadingly hold forth to him, he recoils. And consequently by his attitude against them, he shouts: Away, away, I am rich and increased with goods: I have need of nothing; I have all the truth. “I am satisfied with my position. I have set my stakes, and I will not be moved away from my @9position@7, whatever may come.”—@9Testimonies on Sabbath-School Work@7, p. 65.
