Jezreel Letter 7

Dear Brethren:

By this you will note that we are thinking of you, that we truly intend to finish what the Lord has now started in this state. You will soon find that regardless how badly the enemies of Truth try to keep you in darkness on what is taking place, the Lord will not permit them. He will not leave you ignorant of the approaching Judgment for the Living, “the purification of the church,” – “Testimonies,” Vol. 5, p. 80. He will, if you let Him, enlighten you concerning it even more than He enlightened His people on the Judgment for the Dead. We say even more, because the latter work is of far greater importance than the former. In importance there is no comparison between the two. This is so because the latter has to do with the message bearers themselves, not with those who have gone before them. Since we are in constant contact with the Lord’s headquarters, we are able to give you firsthand information, not hearsay, concerning the things on which you need truthful and concrete intelligence. It is, therefore, a real privilege and pleasure to make full reply to the Ministering Brethren’s general objections against the additional message (“Early Writings,” p. 277), the message of the hour.

First of all, Elders, your assumption that the “Rod” publications teach something which they do not teach is very obvious. That you either have not studied for yourself and have depended upon what others have told you, or else are deliberately ignoring the issues involved, is clearly seen. Moreover, your criticism and the criticisms of those who are with you in what you are doing against the “Rod” of God, reminds me of Elder E. S. Ballenger’s, Canright’s, and J. I. Easterly’s attempts to refute Sister White’s writings, and also Sunday keepers while fighting the Sabbath Truth.
