THAT THE TEXT OF THIS VOLUME WAS WRITTEN PRIOR TO VATICAN COUNCIL II； WITH
ITS SOMEWHAT ALTERED POLICIES IN REGARD TO THE READING OF THE SCRIPTURES。
THROUGH THE CENTURIES； THE ATTITUDE OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH TOWARD
CIRCULATION OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES IN VERNACULAR VERSIONS AMONG THE LAITY
SHOWS UP AS NEGATIVE。 SEE FOR EXAMPLE G。 P。 FISHER； THE REFORMATION； CH。 15；
692
PAR。 16 （1873 ED。； PP。 530…532）； J。 CARDINAL GIBBONS； THE FAITH OF OUR
FATHERS； CH。 8 （49TH ED。； 1897）； PP。 98…117； JOHN DOWLING； HISTORY OF
ROMANISM； B。 7； CH。 2； SEC。 14； AND B。 9； CH。 3； SECS。 24…27 （1871 ED。； PP。

BUT IN RECENT YEARS A DRAMATIC AND POSITIVE CHANGE HAS OCCURRED IN THIS
RESPECT。 ON THE ONE HAND； THE CHURCH HAS APPROVED SEVERAL VERSIONS PREPARED
ON THE BASIS OF THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES； ON THE OTHER； IT HAS PROMOTED THE
STUDY OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES BY MEANS OF FREE DISTRIBUTION AND BIBLE
INSTITUTES。 THE CHURCH； HOWEVER； CONTINUES TO RESERVE FOR HERSELF THE
EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO INTERPRET THE BIBLE IN THE LIGHT OF HER OWN TRADITION；
THUS JUSTIFYING THOSE DOCTRINES THAT DO NOT HARMONIZE WITH BIBLICAL
TEACHINGS。
PAGE 373。 ASCENSION ROBES。THE STORY THAT THE ADVENTISTS MADE ROBES WITH
WHICH TO ASCEND 〃TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR；〃 WAS INVENTED BY THOSE WHO
WISHED TO REPROACH THE ADVENT PREACHING。 IT WAS CIRCULATED SO INDUSTRIOUSLY
THAT MANY BELIEVED IT； BUT CAREFUL INQUIRY PROVED ITS FALSITY。 FOR MANY
YEARS A SUBSTANTIAL REWARD WAS OFFERED FOR PROOF THAT ONE SUCH INSTANCE EVER
OCCURRED； BUT NO PROOF HAS BEEN PRODUCED。 NONE WHO LOVED THE APPEARING OF
THE SAVIOUR WERE SO IGNORANT OF THE TEACHINGS OF THE SCRIPTURES AS TO
SUPPOSE THAT ROBES WHICH THEY COULD MAKE WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR THAT
OCCASION。 THE ONLY ROBE WHICH THE SAINTS WILL NEED TO MEET THE LORD IS THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST。 SEE ISAIAH 61：10； REVELATION 19：8。

PAGE 374。 THE CHRONOLOGY OF PROPHECY。DR。 GEORGE BUSH； PROFESSOR OF HEBREW
AND ORIENTAL LITERATURE IN THE NEW YORK CITY UNIVERSITY； IN A LETTER
ADDRESSED TO WILLIAM MILLER AND PUBLISHED IN THE ADVENT HERALD AND SIGNS OF
THE TIMES REPORTER； BOSTON； MARCH 6 AND 13； 1844； MADE SOME IMPORTANT
ADMISSIONS RELATIVE TO HIS CALCULATION OF THE PROPHETIC TIMES。 DR。 BUSH
WROTE：
〃NEITHER IS IT TO BE OBJECTED； AS I CONCEIVE； TO YOURSELF OR YOUR FRIENDS；
THAT YOU HAVE DEVOTED MUCH TIME AND ATTENTION TO THE STUDY OF THE CHRONOLOGY
OF PROPHECY； AND HAVE LABORED MUCH TO DETERMINE THE COMMENCING AND CLOSING
DATES OF ITS GREAT PERIODS。 IF THESE PERIODS ARE ACTUALLY GIVEN BY THE HOLY
GHOST IN THE PROPHETIC BOOKS； IT WAS DOUBTLESS WITH THE DESIGN THAT THEY
693
MEDE； SIR ISAAC NEWTON； BISHOP NEWTON； KIRBY； SCOTT； KEITH； AND A HOST OF
OTHERS WHO HAVE LONG SINCE COME TO SUBSTANTIALLY YOUR CONCLUSIONS ON THIS
HEAD。 THEY ALL AGREE THAT THE LEADING PERIODS MENTIONED BY DANIEL AND JOHN；
DO ACTUALLY EXPIRE ABOUT THIS AGE OF THE WORLD； AND IT WOULD BE A STRANGE
LOGIC THAT WOULD CONVICT YOU OF HERESY FOR HOLDING IN EFFECT THE SAME VIEWS
WHICH STAND FORTH SO PROMINENT IN THE NOTICES OF THESE EMINENT DIVINES。〃
〃YOUR RESULTS IN THIS FIELD OF INQUIRY DO NOT STRIKE ME SO FAR OUT OF THE
WAY AS TO AFFECT ANY OF THE GREAT INTERESTS OF TRUTH OR DUTY。〃 〃YOUR ERROR；
AS I APPREHEND； LIES IN ANOTHER DIRECTION THAN YOUR CHRONOLOGY。〃 〃YOU HAVE
ENTIRELY MISTAKEN THE NATURE OF THE EVENTS WHICH ARE TO OCCUR WHEN THOSE
PERIODS HAVE EXPIRED。 THIS IS THE HEAD AND FRONT OF YOUR EXPOSITORY
OFFENDING。〃 SEE ALSO LEROY EDWIN FROOM； PROPHETIC FAITH OF OUR FATHERS

PAGE 435。 A THREEFOLD MESSAGE。REVELATION 14：6； 7 FORETELLS THE
PROCLAMATION OF THE FIRST ANGEL'S MESSAGE。 THEN THE PROPHET CONTINUES：
〃THERE FOLLOWED ANOTHER ANGEL； SAYING； BABYLON IS FALLEN； IS FALLEN。 。 。 。
AND THE THIRD ANGEL FOLLOWED THEM。〃 THE WORD HERE RENDERED 〃FOLLOWED〃 MEANS
〃TO GO ALONG WITH；〃 〃TO FOLLOW ONE；〃 〃GO WITH HIM。〃 SEE HENRY GEORGE LIDDELL
AND ROBERT SCOTT； GREEK ENGLISH LEXICON （OXFORD： CLARENDON PRESS； 1940）；
VOL。 1； P。 52。 IT ALSO MEANS 〃TO ACCOMPANY。〃 SEE GEORGE ABBOTT…SMITH； A
MANUAL GREEK LEXICON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT （EDINBURGH： T。 AND T。 CLARK；
1950）； PAGE 17。 IT IS THE SAME WORD THAT IS USED IN MARK 5：24； 〃JESUS WENT
WITH HIM； AND MUCH PEOPLE FOLLOWED HIM； AND THRONGED HIM。〃 IT IS ALSO USED
OF THE REDEEMED ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY…FOUR THOUSAND； REVELATION 14：4； WHERE
IT IS SAID； 〃THESE ARE THEY WHICH FOLLOW THE LAMB WHITHERSOEVER HE GOETH。〃
IN BOTH THESE PLACES IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE IDEA INTENDED TO BE CONVEYED IS
THAT OF 〃GOING TOGETHER；〃 〃IN COMPANY WITH。〃 SO IN 1 CORINTHIANS 10：4； WHERE
WE READ OF THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THAT 〃THEY DRANK OF THAT SPIRITUAL ROCK
THAT FOLLOWED THEM；〃 THE WORD 〃FOLLOWED〃 IS TRANSLATED FROM THE SAME GREEK
WORD； AND THE MARGIN HAS IT； 〃WENT WITH THEM。〃 FROM THIS WE LEARN THAT THE
IDEA IN REVELATION 14：8； 9 IS NOT SIMPLY THAT THE SECOND AND THIRD ANGELS
FOLLOWED THE FIRST IN POINT OF TIME； BUT THAT THEY WENT WITH HIM。 THE THREE
MESSAGES ARE BUT ONE THREEFOLD MESSAGE。 THEY ARE THREE ONLY IN THE ORDER OF
THEIR RISE。 BUT HAVING RISEN； THEY GO ON TOGETHER AND ARE INSEPARABLE。

THE COPTIC CHURCH OF ETHIOPIA OBSERVED THE SEVENTH…DAY SABBATH。 THE
ETHIOPIANS ALSO KEPT SUNDAY； THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK； THROUGHOUT THEIR
HISTORY AS A CHRISTIAN PEOPLE。 THESE DAYS WERE MARKED BY SPECIAL SERVICES IN
THE CHURCHES。 THE OBSERVANCE OF THE SEVENTH…DAY SABBATH HAS； HOWEVER；
VIRTUALLY CEASED IN MODERN ETHIOPIA。 FOR EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS OF RELIGIOUS
