Replacement Theology

[PART 3]

It was also prophesied:

Hosea 1:9; 5:5,6;8:2-4;9:15-17, “Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them. They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them. Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters. Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

To this day, most of the tribes cannot be identified in any specific location. The Jews are now in every nation on earth. In fact, many have no idea that they may have Jewish bloodlines. Intermarriage and constant wandering has allowed for this prophecy to be fulfilled in a big way.

Additional verses confirming replacement theology:

As time goes by and my studies continue daily, I am sure I will come across more and more statements in the Word of our God confirming replacement theology to be not only doctrinally sound, but prophetic as well. In fact, just the other day in my personal studies I can across the following:

1 Samuel 2:30
Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.

Romans 9:30-31
What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

In other words, shall we now have a problem that the un-chosen Gentiles that became chosen and the chosen Israelite’s chose to become un-chosen by their rebellion and blatant apostasy?

Romans 11:1,2
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the noscripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

Paul makes a good point here. So many Jews say replacement theology is a lie. But as Paul intimates in this passage, he never left his Jewish roots. The only difference between him and the lost Jews is that he chose to believe Jesus is Messiah. So in actuality, God never replaced them, they did that all on their own.

1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.”

So many preachers, teachers, politicians and news reporters today declare the Jews are still the chosen people of God because they claim to uplift the Father in Heaven and obey Him. But it is plainly stated here by John that those that deny the Son of God do not have the Father in their hearts or understanding. In fact, the previous verse that leads up to this one says in 1 John 2:22, “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”

In context this is speaking of the “many antichrists” that will come upon the world in the last days and as we see here, according to the apostle John, the Jews are in fact being counted in that number.

Replacement Theology

[PART 4]

1 Corinthians 12:3
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

Looking to the Jews who declare themselves to be the chosen people of God today as well as throughout their long history; yet if you have ever read the Babylonian Talmud you would know how disgustingly they speak of Jesus Christ, as well as call Him accursed throughout their “sacred” writings. I will not repeat their blasphemous words here of course as many of them are quite vile and vulgar; but the lesser of their evils is when in fact they do declare our Lord, Saviour, Creator and King Jesus “accursed,” which then boldly declares they cannot possibly be the chosen people of God. For to deny the Son of God is to declare the Father to be just as evil as their version of Jesus. Seeing how He and His Father are one in agreement, there’s no separating the two in loving or hating them.

Also see this growing stack of verses:

1Samuel 2:30, 2Kings 17:18-23, 1Chronicles 28:8, 2Chronicles 7:7-22, Psalms 22: 30-31, Isaiah 49:5; 50:1; 65:1-3, Jeremiah 17:4; 19:11; 22:24; 23:39; 31:36, Daniel 9:27, Hosea 1:6-10; 2:2;16-23;5:5-6;8:2-4;9:15-17, Amos 5:2, Malachi 1:4, Matthew 21:19; 21:41-43;23:38-39, Mark 11:14; 12: 9-12, Luke 13:9; 14:21-24; 20:9-19, Acts 22:22-30, Romans 9:26; 11:1-5; 11:19, Galatians 3:14 & 1John 2:23.

🍎🍊 Did you know? 🌽🥑

When God first created human beings, He intended that the diet for the human race would be plant-based.

Genesis 1:29 KJV
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

Animal meat was not present in the diet in Eden. It was allowed for human consumption after Noah's flood, after all vegetation on Earth was destroyed.

Genesis 9:3 KJV
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

(Take note that "every moving thing" doesn't mean literally "every" moving thing. God instructs us that there are clean and unclean animals in the animal kingdom and it is the clean animals that we are allowed to eat. [Gen 7:2, 8; Lev 11])

To Love Is to Serve

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you." 1 Peter 1:3-4

"The religion of Jesus Christ means something more than talk. The righteousness of Christ consists in right actions and good works from pure, unselfish motives. Outside righteousness, while the inward adorning is wanting, will be of no avail. "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin" (1 John 1:5-7). If we have not the light and love of God, we are not His children. If we gather not with Christ, we scatter abroad. We all have an influence, and that influence is telling upon the destiny of others, for their present and future good, or for their eternal loss. All have lessons to learn in the school of Christ, in order to perfect Christian characters, and have a oneness with Christ. Said Christ to His disciples, "Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3). He explained His meaning to them. He did not wish them to become children in understanding, but in malice. Little children do not manifest feelings of superiority and aristocracy. They are simple and natural in their appearance. Christ would have His followers cultivate unaffected manners, that their whole bearing might be humble and Christlike. He has made it our duty to live for others' good. He came from the royal courts of heaven to this world, to show how great an interest He had in man; and the infinite price paid for the redemption of man shows that man is of so great value that Christ could sacrifice His riches and honor in the royal courts, to lift him from the degradation of sin. If the Majesty of heaven could do so much to evidence His love for man, what ought not men to be willing to do for each other, to help one another up out of the pit of darkness and suffering?" -Review and Herald, 06/22/1886

⚠️ Fund Freezing Feature In Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)

The Cryptonews.com reported on July 17, 2023 that “A blockchain developer has found a code in Brazilian central bank-backed digital currency (CBDC) that would allow the government to freeze accounts or even drain them at will.” It further stated that “the central bank’s official response is that they can do this at any time … Magalhaes said that Brazilian people have a valid reason to be scared given the country’s history. President Fernando Collor de Mello in 1990 froze the finances of all Brazilians for over a year just two weeks after he was elected. Several other privacy advocates have warned against CBDCs as they would grant government an unprecedented control on people’s finances. Many are afraid that there’s a high possibility that governments will use CBDCs as a mass surveillance tool to control people.”

Meanwhile in US, Governor DeSantis says that centralized digital currencies open door to ‘social credit system” and posed a “massive threat” to liberty according to WND news on July 15, 2023.

And just an important reminder that in this month of July 2023 is the launching of the long-awaited Fed digital payment system. This was announced by the Federal Reserve back in March “which will enable all U.S. banks to offer instant payments 24/7, and will constitute the infrastructure of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) by linking each banking node directly to the Federal Reserve, according to financial experts.” However, Financial advisor Brown said, “But make no mistake, a central bank digital currency is coming and it looks like this new FedNow service just the launch of the infrastructure for launching the full version of the CBDC later on.” Critics have increasingly warned in recent years that CBDCs enable full-blown tyranny by allowing the government to restrict or even freeze a citizen’s purchasing power, thereby coercing its constituents into submitting to its decrees.”

As obedient student of Bible prophecy, we can now easily see how the ‘powers that be’ can control your ability to “buy or sell” in Revelation 13:17 by removing cash and pushing all transactions digital so that in just a few clicks of a mouse or keyboard the government can easily freeze any bank account online when you go against its “decrees” or mandate in support to Vatican’s long awaited enforcement of her mark.

But the remnant of her seed will have “no spirit of fear” 2 Timothy 1:7 for the Lord has promised help to His children in times like these that their “bread and waters shall be sure” Isaiah 33:16.

We are getting closer to the end.
Climate lockdowns are coming.
Enforced Sunday laws are next.
Bible prophecies WILL be fulfilled.

Healthful Living

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

"The first messengers of the gospel were sent forth with the word, "The kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 10:7). This is our message today. We are to remember that the work of reaching souls cannot be confined to any one method. Gospel medical missionary work is to be carried forward, not in the precision of one man's lines, but in Christ's lines. All that is done is to bear the impress of the Holy Spirit. We are to work as Christ worked, in the same practical lines. Then we shall be safe. The divine commission needs no reform. Christ's way of presenting truth cannot be improved upon. The worker who tries to bring in methods that will attract the worldly-minded, supposing that this will remove the objections that they feel to taking up the cross, lessens his influence. Preserve the simplicity of godliness. The Lord's blessing rests not upon the minister whose speech bears the stamp of worldliness. But He blesses the words of the one who cherishes the simplicity of true righteousness. Our work is to be practical. We are to remember that man has a body as well as a soul to save. Our work includes far more than standing before the people to preach to them. In our work we are to minister to the physical infirmities of those with whom we are brought in contact. We are to present the principles of health reform, impressing our hearers with the thought that they have a part to act in keeping themselves in health. The body must be kept in a healthy condition in order that the soul may be in health. The condition of the body affects the condition of the soul. He who would have physical and spiritual strength must educate his appetite in right lines. He must be careful not to burden the soul by overtaxing his physical or spiritual powers. Faithful adherence to right principles in eating, drinking, and dressing is a duty that God has laid upon human beings. The Lord desires us to obey the laws of health and life. He holds each one responsible to care properly for his body, that it may be kept in health." - Letter 123, 06/25/1903

What is sin?

[PART 1]

Majority of people knowingly or unknowingly commit sin everyday but does not really care about it. Other people say they are good person and feel they are ennoscriptd for commendation. Some people say they don't have sin and sure to be in heaven. Others are doing penitence supposing this is the way to get rid of sin. Even the so-called ministers and preachers evade to answer this question because when they do they will expose themselves to be deceiver and so they choose to preach smooth things to satisfy the itching ears of the people. Others understand it and strive to follow God's direction.

But what is sin? The Bible clearly gives the answer.

"Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." 1 John 3:4.

This is the only definition of SIN.

To what law is this referring? The Ten Commandments as recorded in Exodus 20:3-17. They were written by the finger of God on two tables of stone (Exodus 31:18). In referring to the Ten Commandments, Jesus said to the rich young man in Matthew 19:17: "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

A blessing and a reward go to those that keep the commandments. "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” Revelation 22:14.

Yet to break one of any of the Ten Commandments is to break all, "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10

You see, God hates sin (Proverbs 6:16). To gain eternal life, sin must be purged completely out of our present lives. “Impossible,” you say. But what does the Bible say? “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. (See also James 1:4; 1 Peter 1:14-16; and 2 Peter 3:14) This standard is attainable, for in every command or injunction God gives is a positive promise underlying that command (1 Corinthians 10:13). God has made provision that we may become like Him in character.

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace." Romans 6:1-2,12-14.

God's requirements under grace have always been the same: perfect obedience to His law. We are to be doers of the will of God (Matthew 7:21). This is obedience. God's grace is the new heart He gives us (Ezekiel 36:26-27), it is the new creation we become through Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17), but we have to choose to “let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:5.

▫️The Only Question Asked In The Judgment

In the Judgment God will ask those who profess to be Christians, "Have you been obedient to My commandment?" (see Matthew 7:21-23) You claim to believe in Jesus and yet continue to transgress His Law - the standard of righteousness. The Gospel of the New Testament is not the Old Testament standard lowered to meet the sinner and save him from his sins. Adam and Eve traded their garden home and an eternal life of ease for a life of trials and pain which eventually led to physical death (Genesis 3). This was because of one sin - DISOBEDIENCE.

What is sin?

[PART 2]

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8. (See also Psalm 89:34; Malachi 3:6) God does not change, and He means just what He says (Numbers 23:19; Hebrews 13:8). Many professing to be of Christ believe God will allow them into His kingdom when they are not willing to give up sin. This is a sad and fatal mistake. “He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” 1 John 2:4.

▫️Sin has to be purged completely from our lives, but how do we do it?

We overcome sin through the blood of Jesus Christ and His righteousness.

"And they overcame him (Satan, the Devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony..." Revelation 12:11. “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." 1 John 3:5-9.

Unless we receive a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26-27) and new desires, purposes, and motives leading to a new life, we cannot see the kingdom of God. The Savior said, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3. The idea that it is necessary only to develop the good that exists in many by nature is a fatal deception; it is New Age thinking. “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Corinthians 2:14. "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” John 3:7.

It is only through Christ that we can be brought into harmony with God, with holiness. Jesus Himself said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6. “In him [Christ] was life; and the life was the light of men,” and “there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” John 1:4; Acts 4:12.

But how are we to come to Christ?
Many are asking the same question asked by the multitude on the Day of Pentecost: when convicted of sin they cried out, “What shall we do?” the first word of Peter's answer was "Repent" (Acts 2:37-38). Another time, shortly after, he said, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out…” Acts 3:19. Repentance includes sorrow for sin and turning away from it. We shall not renounce sin unless we see its sinfulness; until we turn away from it in heart, there will be no real change in the life.

When the sinner yields his heart to the influence of the Spirit of God, the conscience will be quickened, revealing the depth and sacredness of God's holy law. The sinner has a sense of the righteousness of God and feels the terror of appearing in his own guilt and uncleanness before the Searcher of hearts. He sees the love of God, the beauty of holiness, the joy of purity; he longs to be cleansed and to be restored to communion with Heaven.

Confession is the next step.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1:9. “Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.” James 5:16. You are to acknowledge your wrong, and it is your brother's duty freely to forgive you (Matthew 6:12). Then you are to seek the forgiveness of God, because the brother you have wounded is the property of God, and in injuring him you have sinned against his Creator and Redeemer.

⬅️ Part 1 | Part 3 ➡️

What is sin?

[PART 3]

Confession is not acceptable to God without sincere repentance and reformation. “He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13. There must be decided changes in the life, and everything offensive to God must be put away. This will be the result of genuine sorrow for sin. In giving ourselves to God, we must give up all that would separate us from Him. Jesus said, “Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.” Luke 14:33. But what do we give up when we give all? A sin–polluted heart for Jesus to purify, to cleanse by His own blood, and to save by His matchless love (1 John 1:7).

Heaven's forgiveness, peace, love, and eternal life is yours. God offers it to you as a gift “without money and without price.” Isaiah 55:1. It is yours if you will but reach out your hand and grasp it. The Lord says, “Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18. “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you…” Ezekiel 36:26.

You have confessed your sins, and in your heart put them away. You have resolved to give yourself to God. Now go to Him, and ask that He will wash away your sins and give you a new heart. Then believe that He does this because He has promised. Don't wait to feel that you are made whole, but say, “I believe it; it is so, not because I feel it, but because God has promised.” Jesus says, “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them..” Mark 11:24. God desires to cleanse you from all sin and to replace that sin with the righteousness of His Son Jesus. Receive the cleansing, the forgiveness from God. Be made whole, and clean, and have peace in Christ Jesus.

From this time through eternity you are not your own; “ye are bought with a price” (1 Corinthians 6:20, 7:23). You have been purchased “with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” 1 Peter 1:19. Be faithful to Him by knowing His Word and the precious promises that keep us from sin and give us victory over Satan and his evil host. “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these [promises] ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” 2 Peter 1:4.

Jesus said, "behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:12.

Time is almost finished. Be ready for His very soon return. Victory over sin through the blood of the Lamb, our Lord Jesus Christ, is yours right now if you will choose to accept His power and obey Him. “This is the way, walk ye in it…” Isaiah 30:21.

⬅️ Part 2

To Whom Shall We Go?

"This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." Acts 4:11-12

"When so many of Christ's followers left Him, and the Saviour asked the twelve, "Will ye also go away?" Simon Peter answered, "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life" (John 6:68). It filled Christ's heart with sorrow to see anyone leaving Him, because He knew that faith in His name and in His mission is man's only hope. This desertion of His followers was a humiliation to Him. Oh, how little human beings know of the sorrow that filled the heart of infinite love when such things took place. No one in the world ever longed more earnestly for appreciation and fellowship than did Christ. He hungered for sympathy. His heart was filled with a longing desire that human beings might appreciate the gift of God to the world, and honor Him by believing His words and speaking forth His praise. "God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). How regretful were the words, "Will ye also go away?" They touched the hearts of all the disciples but one. That one was Judas. He had a heart only for money. His highest desire was to be the greatest. Well might the disciples say, "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life." Consider what Christ was. The Son of the Highest, yet a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Have we experienced the blessing that comes from trusting Him with the whole heart, and honoring Him by ever showing our love and devotion to Him? Christ is hungry for fruit--fruit that will appease His hunger of soul in our behalf. It is His desire that we bear "much fruit." Let us keep our hearts open to His love. "What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36). Oh, when we can speak understandingly the words spoken by Peter, "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life," wonderful blessings will come to us." - Letter 171, 06/29/1905

Ye All Are Brethren

"Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock." 1 Peter 5:2-3

"Who gave man his life? Who gave him his reason? Did not God? Let not the Christian, who is dependent on God for every breath he draws, feel exalted above his brethren. He should not dictate terms to them, as though he has given them life and intelligence, and therefore they were responsible to him. There is coming in among us a spirit which God will not suffer to rule. Never should Christians feel that they are lords over God's heritage. There should not be among Christians a spirit which makes some patrons and some proteges. The commandments of God forbid this. "All ye are brethren" (Matthew 23:8). No man is to think that he is the owner of the minds and capabilities of his brethren. He is not to think that others must submit to his dictation. He is liable to err, liable to make mistakes, as every man is. He is not to try to control matters in accordance with his ideas. He who yields to this spirit of self-exaltation places himself under the control of the enemy. If ministers of the gospel cannot harmonize with all his ideas and imaginings, he turns from them and speaks against them, pouring out the sarcasm and bitterness in his heart upon ministers and ministry. None of this work bears the signature of Heaven. Christians should reveal the tenderness of Christ, and this they will do if Christ abides in the heart. They will recognize Christ in their brethren. They will take sweet counsel together. If the dark chapters of human history were traced out according to the truth, how much would be flattering to those who exercise so much authority, who feel competent to say that others shall do as they dictate. Jesus has given us an example in His life of purity and perfect holiness. The most exalted being in heaven, He was the most ready to serve. The most honored, He humbled Himself to minister to those who a short time before had been disputing as to who should be the greatest in His kingdom. Seeking our own preference at the expense of others is a dear experience to gain." - Letter 92, 07/02/1900

Truth Will Triumph

"Not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." 2 Corinthians 4:2

"There is to be no undermining of the fundamental truths that the Lord has submitted by many miraculous evidences. A voice is to be heard in clear affirmation of the truth, in contradiction to the skepticism and fallacies that have been coming in from the enemy of truth. Reformations will take place, and the working out of the principles of divine truth will reveal growth in grace, for the divine agencies are efficient to enlighten and sanctify the human understanding. The truth as it is in Jesus, as it was proclaimed by Him when He was enshrouded by the billowy cloud, is verity and truth in this our day, and will just as surely renovate the mind of the receiver as it has renovated minds in the past. Christ has declared, "If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead" (Luke 16:31). As a people, we must prepare the way of the Lord, under the overruling guidance of the Holy Spirit, for the spread of the gospel in its purity. The stream of living water is to deepen and widen in its course. In all fields, nigh and afar off, men will be called from the plow and from the more common commercial business vocations that largely occupy the mind, and will become educated in connection with men who have had experience-- men who understand the truth. Through most wonderful workings of God, mountains of difficulty will be removed and cast into the sea... Those who preach the truth will strive to demonstrate the truth by a well-ordered life and godly conversation. And as they do this, they will become powerful in advocating the truth and in giving it the sure application that God has given it... The call is to go forth, "Son, go labor today in My vineyard." As this call is obeyed, the message that means so much to the dwellers on the earth, will be heard and understood. Men will know what is truth. Onward, and still onward, will the work advance. And marked events of Providence will be seen and recognized, in judgments and in blessings. The truth will bear away the victory." - Letter 230, 07/05/1906
