@@@^From this, the truth is again seen that the first and the second fruits of the living (the one gathered from within the church at the commencement of “the great and dreadful day,” and the other gathered out of Babylon during that day) constitute the kingdom at its beginning and before the resurrection of the dead.
Philippians 69:3
@@@^“But this shall be the covenant,” declares the Lord, concerning this glorious truth of the kingdom, “that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put My law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be My people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall @9all know@7 Me, from the least of them unto the @9greatest@7 of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jer. 31:33, 34.
Colossians 11:3
@@@^As far as we know, all Bible students agree that Jesus was crucified during the day and was buried before sunset. And as only the hours of the night were ever reckoned by “watches,” the “watch” periods are foolishly dragged into the discussion. So being wholly irrelevant in this connection, they by all rights merit no consideration. For the sake, however, of those who really want the truth, but who are confused over the idea under discussion, we shall give it brief treatment.
Colossians 20:1
@@@^Other such confusing remarks have been made but as we have given due consideration to all the major ones, the minor ones merit no comment. Suffice it to say that our experience in gospel publishing work teaches us that many who have spent almost countless hours of precious time in confusing the subject of the sign of Jonah, have spent but very little time in studying more essential subjects such as the prohibition against private interpretations of the Scriptures (2 Pet. 1:19, 20); the Spirit of Prophecy (Rev. 19:10); the Sabbath (Ex. 20:8-11); baptism (Matt. 3:15; Acts 2:38); the Kingdom (Isa. 2:2), the slaughter of Ezekiel 9, tithe paying (Mal. 3:10); although these vital subjects call for performance, — a duty to practice the truths which they teach, — whereas the sign of Jonah demands nothing.
Colossians 42:3
@@@^For every truth-seeker, moreover, stands the promise that He will not let one of them be deceived: “God never honors unbelief and questioning and doubt. When He speaks, His word is to be recognized and carried out in the daily actions. And if the heart of man is in living connection with God, the voice that cometh from above @9will be recognized@7 . . . Those that do the will of God @9shall know@7 of the doctrine whether it be of God for @9no deception@7 will cloud their minds.” — @9Testimonies on Sabbath-School Work@7, pp. 64, 65.
Colossians 46:4
@@@^Anyone sending us names and addresses of seventh-day Sabbath-keepers, will be entitled to receive, free of charge, our entire Present Truth series of thirteen tracts to date, and our official organ, @9The Symbolic Code@7 (in which all readers’ questions are answered.) @8@8@8
1 Thessalonians 2:1
@@@^“That everyone who thirsteth for the truth may obtain it, this tract is mailed free of charge. It levies one exaction, the soul's obligation to itself to prove all things fast and hold fast that which is good. The only strings attached to this free proffer are the golden strands of Eden and the crimson cords of Calvary -- the ties that bind.
1 Thessalonians 3:3
@@@^Is it not inconsistent that so much time, energy, and money are spent by various individuals and organizations to give adverse publicity to any one author of religious literature, while overshadowing the world are hundreds of Christian @9isms@7 and authors, each trying to vindicate a religious view different from the other’s? Since there is only @9one @7Truth, and since no two sects are in absolute agreement as to what it is, naturally not all can be right, but all save one @9must@7 be wrong. Why, then, should Mrs. White’s teachings come in for more opposition in proportion to size of following than any of the others?@9 @7
1 Thessalonians 8:1
@@@^The present-day so-called gift of tongues is gibberish, and is no more the Biblical gift than is Sunday the “sanctified” Sabbath day; and the gift of governments is degenerated into an institution of prerogatives, formalities, goals, and the like, which, in their present low estate, are naught but agencies which in effect militate against the Truth and neutralize the piety of the church. In this state of affairs, do the best of these professed Christians of today seem better than the worst of yesterday’s Jews?
1 Thessalonians 10:1
@@@^Since the Scriptures explain that the church in all ages has been led into truth only through the gift of prophecy, the Christian has no choice but to conclude that God’s will and plan for this time is just as it was for times past; that is, that the knowledge of salvation be imparted through the writings of the Old Testament prophets, as interpreted by those upon whom, as the scroll unfolds, He bestows the same Spirit by which He moved upon “holy men of God” “in old time.” 2 Pet. 1:21. “For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” Mal. 3:6.
1 Thessalonians 10:2
@@@^God would have ever kept Christendom unified through Inspiration, revealed truth, but uninspired men would not humble themselves and forego their own private interpretations, with the tragic result that they have brought the present shameful sectarian confusion.
1 Thessalonians 10:3
@@@^Such an anarchy of opinion on the Scriptures existing not only between one denomination and another, but also within the ranks of each one itself, makes clear that they are not led by the Spirit Whom Christ sent to “guide . . . into all truth” so that all believers in Him might be as one. This union through the Spirit, is forcefully taught in
1 Thessalonians 25:3
@@@^The many grievous spiritual epidemics now afflicting the Christian church, are caused in large part by Christians unwittingly wresting, garbling, and perverting the Scriptures. This practice, the Devil has spawned and nurtured in order to head off Present Truth, destroy faith in the Scrip-tures, deceive souls, and increase infidelity, hoping thereby to cut off the human race from the knowledge of the only true and living God, and thus finally from the face of the earth.
1 Thessalonians 26:2
@@@^These solemn considerations will impel all who are honest with themselves and with God, to act in accordance with the solemn verity that He reveals the truth as He chooses. They will lead you to take God’s way for your shelter, and thus escape the swiftly gathering storm that is about to burst in all its dread fury upon sin and sinner.
1 Thessalonians 29:3
@@@^As butter is churned from milk, and as the milk from which this spiritual “butter” is made, comes from the “two sheep” and the “young cow,” the truth flows forth that these three milk-producing creatures symbolize three different sources from which the Word of the Lord (butter) is obtained. The cow is young; the sheep are not. Accordingly, the source of the butter, God’s Word, represented by the young cow, is of @9later@7 origin than the sources represented by the two sheep. The two-of-a-kind therefore can only represent the Old and New Testament Scriptures; whereas the cow, being larger and younger than the sheep, represents sacred volumes of correspondingly larger proportions and of later origin than the Bible. These volumes manifestly are the latter-day writings of the “Spirit of Prophecy” (Rev. 19:10), which enable their patrons to “refuse the evil, and choose the good,” and which bring to them
1 Thessalonians 32:1
@@@^When God promised to lead ancient Israel into a land “flowing with milk and honey,” such a condition did not literally obtain in Canaan, so the expression could only have been metaphorical then finding its fulfillment in the fact that there the prophets did prophecy and write the Scriptures, thus flooding the land with “milk and honey” — truth and joy.
1 Thessalonians 35:4
@@@^We need not be surprised at the opposition which God’s servants are receiving from men of learning and position, for thus it has always been; and now, as in former ages, the presentation of a truth that reproves sins and corrects errors will excite opposition. “Every one that doeth evil,” says the Lord, “hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.” John 3:20.
1 Thessalonians 36:1
@@@^As men see that they cannot, by the Scriptures maintain their position, they determine to vindicate it at whatever cost, and as the final resort of a lost cause they indulge in personalities, assailing the character and the motives of those who cross their paths with unpopular truth. Such self-justification is the same traditional defense mechanism which has been resorted to in all ages.
1 Thessalonians 36:2
@@@^“Elijah was declared to be a troubler in Israel, Jeremiah a traitor, Paul a polluter of the temple. From that day to this, those who would be loyal to truth have been denounced as seditious, heretical, or schismatic. Multitudes who are too unbelieving to accept the sure word of prophecy, will receive with unquestioning credulity an accusation against those who dare to reprove fashionable sins. This spirit will increase more and more.” — @9The Great Controversy@7, pp. 458, 459.
1 Thessalonians 37:2
@@@^And now because of this, shall we who have the light of Truth betray our trust and shun our responsibilities? “To the servant of God at this time is the command addressed, ‘Lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.’
