ISAIAH 2:22
Brothers and Sisters, we need to ascertain clearly unto whom the
warning given in Isaiah 2:22 is directly
pointed out. Inspiration declared:
2 SR 289 Find your explanations in the Bowl, and you will have
no trouble in knowing the truth, or ofavoiding the ever ready trap
of deception. Thus the difficulty in knowing the difference between
truth and error
is eliminated. (2 SR 289)
11 TR 12 All present truth believers should now see the
necessity of shunning every wind of doctrine
regardless how plausible or reasonable it might appear to be.
Remember the words: Behold, those that go
toward the north country have quieted My Spirit in the north
country. (See p. 27 of Tract No. 2, The Warning
Paradox, -- Zech. 6:1-8.) Get your doctrine, Brother, Sister,
only from the golden bowl (see The Shepherds
Rod, Vol. 2), and be not like the waves of the sea, driven with
the wind and tossed -- be not carried about by the
many winds of doctrine that are blowing wildly from every
direction to cause you to lose your way to the
everlasting kingdom. (11 TR 12)
As we dare not follow in such a path of private interpretation,
we must therefore teach Isaiah 2:22 only in the
light of the Rod this prophetic verse. (5 Ans. 55, 56)Now, let
us read2 TG 45:7 Did you mark what Inspiration says? It plainly
declares that the Scriptures are not privately
interpreted -- not without the Spirit of God in the man, not by
the man alone, and not without Gods own
appointment. And the reason given, you note, is the very fact
that prophecy did not come by the will of man, but
by the will of the Spirit, through holy men of God. This,
brethren, is Heavens law and order. And who are we
to change it? To put your trust in private interpretation is
therefore to barter your soul to man. Concerning such a
perilous practice, the Lord commands:
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein
is he to be accounted of? Isa. 2:22. (2 TG
45:7)
Private interpretation is a perilous practice, according to our
reading. For an example, as the Pharisees of old
rejected the Inspired interpretation of the Scriptures, and as
they feared that the common people might see their
mistakes, they killed the prophets to silence them.Consequently,
they were left in spiritual darkness, and as they
privately--without Inspiration--interpreted the Scriptures, they
misunderstood and misapplied even the most
simple portions of the Word of God, with the result that they
crucified the very One for Whom they had
expended millions of dollars in sacrifices, and served hundreds
of years in ceremonial services. (4 SC 10-12:3)
Thats how detrimental private interpretation is, the SROD called
it as the great evil. (5 Ans. 55)
If we really fully believe that the entire SROD publications are
written by Inspiration, then it can be
interpreted by men only and when Gods Spirit decrees. (1 Ans.
39) The SROD are not privately interpreted notwithout the Spirit of
God in the man, not by the man alone, and not without Gods own
appointment. (2 TG 45:7)
And since God controls the Scriptures and reveals them only at
the divinely appointed time (5 TR 5), we need
to wait it patiently. For we of ourselves can never discover
hidden truths of the Bible, but on the contrary, that we
should wait for the Spirit of Truth to come to teach us, which
teaching is called Inspiration. (2 SC 12:6) For
example, in Feb. 5, 1955 when the gift of Inspiration ceased,
none of us are allowed to meddle the works of
Inspiration particularly to the prophetic doctrines. But what
happened? When they began to meddle the prophecy,
brought to a tragic result, embarrassment, and confusion.
Christ hates the sin, but loves the sinner. But men hate the
sinner, while they love the sin. (DA 462) For
example: Many Davidians hated Flourence Houteff but at the same
time they are doing what Flourence Houteffhath done engaging in
private interpretation. Inspiration declared: Then shall men fully
realize that though
they could be taught by men to keep cattle, yet no man could
teach them to prophesy; that this office is restricted
to the Spirit of Prophecy, that no prophecy of the Scriptures is
of private interpretation. (2 TG 44:48, 49)
-
7/27/2019 Isaiah 2:22
3/9
Cattle means laity or church membership. (2 TG 2:19) Obviously
therefore, at the time when there is no
gift of prophecy everyone is allowed and permitted to keep the
membership of churches. Inspiration declared:
And while you may choose to keep the Sabbath commandment, you
cannot inspire yourself with the Spirit of
Prophecy -- this Gift is bestowed upon the remnant by God
Himself. (2 TG 34:23)
The fourth commandment being the grand fulcrum of the moral law,
there is no escaping the conclusion that
the term Sabbath commandment points out to the entire
commandment of God. For he that offends in onepoint, manifests
contempt for the whole law; his influence and example are on the
side of transgression; he
becomes guilty of all. James 2:10 (GC 582)
Therefore the statement And while you may choose to keep the
Sabbath commandment and the statement
that though they could be taught by men to keep cattle simply
means that, at the time when the gift of
prophecy disappear everyone is allowed and permitted by God to
voluntarily keep the church and guide them
by teaching Gods commandments. But the statement you cannot
inspire yourself with the Spirit of Prophecy
this Gift is bestowed upon the remnant by God Himself, simply
means that
1.Since God controls the Scriptures and, reveals them only at
the divinely appointed time ( 5 TR 5), we need
to patiently wait that divinely appointed time.
2.Christ controls the Scriptures and the timesWhile Christ is
liberal, He is also careful, and therefore has
nothing to waste. (1 SR 15) The principle that governs over
human physical body, the same principle will govern
our spiritual body. The voice of prophecy declared:
CDF 173 The stomach must have careful attention. It must not be
kept in continual operation. Give this
misused and much-abused organ some peace and quiet and rest.
After the stomach has done its work for one
meal, do not crowd more work upon it before it has had a chance
to rest and before a sufficient supply of gastric
juice is provided by nature to care for more food. Five hours at
least should elapse between each meal, (CDF
173)
CDF 179 After the regular meal is eaten, the stomach should be
allowed to rest for five hours. Not a
particle of food should be introduced into the stomach till the
next meal. In this interval the stomach will perform
its work, and will then be in a condition to receive more food.
(CDF 179)
The transgression of physical law is the transgression of Gods
law. Our Creator is Jesus Christ. He is the
author of our being. He has created the human structure. He is
the author of physical laws, as He is the author of
the moral law. (CDF 43)
Since Christ controls the Scriptures (the storehouse of
Spiritual food) and the times, He distributed present
Truth (food meat in due season) for that particular time, that
Gods people could possibly assimilate. ( 1 SR 15)
And according to Gods divine pattern, there would be 40 years
without refilling as the period of digestion. (1
Ans. 93)Now let us read
2 TG 11:8, 9 In this parable it is made known that in the
closing hours of probationary time (at supper
time, about the end of the day), Heaven is to send a message to
them that are bidden, to them that already know
the Gospel of Christ, to the members of the Church. The servant
is to inform them that everything is now ready,
that they should now come in for the great and long expected
supper, -- a supper which they are to eat in the
Masters mansion (the Kingdom), not in their own. (2 TG 11:8,
9)
This reading definitely implies that there are three spiritual
meals, breakfast, lunch and supper time.
1 Ans. 93, 94 FORTY YEARS WITHOUT REFILLING?

The period of Spiritual
Breakfast
The period of assimilation
of the Spiritual food.
The period of Spiritual
Lunch
From 1955 up to 1995 the period of
assimilation or digesting the spiritual food
already eaten (given).
Since Gods people, in 1955 began eating
between meals denatured food (private
interpretation) God sent first liquid diet to
detoxify all the foreign substance (error)
entered into the spiritual BODY.
This 15 years perfectly typify, from the time
the gift of Inspiration closed unto its
manifestation.
How can it be true that no progressive truth was given to the
church during the forty-year period from 1890 to
1930, when so many of Sister Whites writings were published from
1890 to 1915?
Answer:Though many of Sister Whites manuscripts were published
during the period of time stated above, yet a
careful check will reveal that if any new revelation of timely
Bible truth, meat in due season, was published
therein, it was revealed to her before 1890. In fact, as early
as 1871, she herself announced this cessation of light
through the Testimonies: I am authorized from God to tell you
that not another ray of light through theTestimonies will shine
upon your pathway, until you make a practical use of the light
already given.--Testimonies, Vol. 2, p. 606.
So whatever Testimonies she wrote between the dates in question
(1890 and 1915) were not expressly to
reveal timely Bible truth, but primarily to furnish counsel,
admonition, reproof, and instruction in righteousness
in an endeavor to save the Laodiceans from being spued out. Any
other of her writings remained, in their
prophetic aspects, a mystery until the forty years expired with
the arrival of The Shepherds Rod.
So long without spiritual oil, the churchs Truth-containing
vessel needed to be refilled with fresh oil, that her
lamp might lighten her path all the way to the Kingdom, lest she
fall from the strait and narrow road at the very
end of her long pilgrimage. So in His great love and mercy, the
Lord has sent The Shepherds Rod to gather upand make a practical
use of the light already given. Therefore, now, commands the Lord,
Hear ye the Rod, and
Who hath appointed it. Mic. 6:9. (1 Ans. 93, 94)
The SROD made it so plain, that there would be 40 years without
refilling. We can easily comprehend,
through the aid of Inspiration, that from 1844 up to 1890 is the
period of the spiritual breakfast. And from 1890
up to 1930 would be the period of digesting (understanding) of
the food already eaten (given). And on 1930, the
spiritual food for lunch is arrived.Heres a little diagram:

In 2011 A.D., the final outpouring of the present Truth (1 Ans.
90), the present Truth under the last seal the
seventh seal begun to unfold. (2 SR 164, 220) Now let us
read
2 SR 275 You will also note on page 222, that the 430 prophetic
years originally applied to Abraham and
his seed, overlap the 430 ofEzekiel 4. The 430 years of Ezekiel
should terminate in 1929, or1930 but the perfect
fulfillment of the prophetic period of Abraham in its anti-type
is yet in the future (going out of Egypt). The chart
on page 112, 113, shows its termination in 1930, for as we
stated before, it is outlined by the coincidences which
perfectly fit the prophecy of Ezekiel. As it is impossible to
make a time chart without any date to go by, we haveused these
coincidences, and it is stated that the date is indefinite. (See
chart on page 133.) Ezekiels prophecy is
intended to point forward to the announcement of the predicted
reformation, and the one through Abraham, to its
completion (Ezekiel nine). (2 SR 275)
1 Ans. 94, 95 DOES THE SHEPHERDS ROD SET PROPHETIC
DATES?Question No. 14:In the following statement, While God clears
the way for the seven last plagues by laying some of His people
to sleep in the grave, He has done the same for the event to
take place in 1931 (if that date be correct), does
The Shepherds Rod, Vol. 1, p. 219, mean to teach that the
judgment of the dead closed in 1931 orthereabouts?
Answer:In the statement in question, the Rod has no reference to
the Investigative Judgment. The message sets no
date, either exact or approximate, for the closing of the
judgment of the dead, or for the beginning of the
Judgment of the living. The time of the cessation of the one
event and the beginning of the other, is not to be
known until the one is past and the other begun.
As to the 1931 date and the event connected with it, we have no
further light at the present time than is to be
found in The Shepherds Rod, Vol. 1, pp. 108-
114, and Vol. 2, p. 275. It was at the close of 1930 and
thebeginning of1931 that the publication of the message in the Rod
took place, revealing the truth of the 144,000
calling for a reformation. So, while it was not exactly
understood beforehand what the nature of the event would
be, yet when the fullness of the time came and no other event
occurred but this one, it was thereby identified as
the one predicted in Ezekiel 4 in connection with the end of the
430 prophetic years when the scroll was to
unroll another turn. (1 Ans. 94, 95)
1 SC 7:8 Question: Does the SRod mean to teach that the Judgment
for the righteous dead closed in 1931,
or thereabouts, by the following statement? While God clears the
way for the seven last plagues by laying some
of His people to sleep in the grave, He has done the same for
the event to take place in 1931 (if that date be
correct). Those who cannot undergo the trial are laid in their
graves, while the 144,000 remain and will escape,
but the balance in the church (now) shall perish in the ruin.
(SRod, Vol. 1, p. 219.) Please explain.
The date 1931 and the statement in question have no reference to
the investigative judgment.The SRod sets
no date either exact or approximate for the closing of the
judgment of the dead or for the beginning of the
judgment of the living.The time of these events is not to be
known until the one is past and the other begun.
As to the 1931 date and the event connected with it, we have no
further light at the present time than is to be
found in Vol. 1, pp. 108-114 and Vol. 2, p. 275.It was at that
time (the close of1930 and the beginning of1931)
that the event of publishing the message in the SRod, Vol. 1
took place, revealing the truth of the 144,000 and
calling for a reformation.Therefore, though it was not
beforehand correctly understood just what the nature of
the event would be, when the fullness of time came and no other
event transpired but this identical one, it was
thereby identified as the one predicted in Ezekiel 4; that is,
the time at the end of the 430 prophetic years when
the scroll was to make another turn. (1 SC 7:8)
-
7/27/2019 Isaiah 2:22

The question is concerning when will the judgment of the dead
will closed, by saying does the Shepherds
Rod, Vol. 1 p. 219, mean to teach that the judgment of the dead
closed in 1931 or thereabouts? (1 Ans. 94) And
then declared: The date 1931 and the statement in question have
no reference to the investigative judgment. (1
SC 7:8) The message sets no date, either exact or approximate,
for the closing of the judgment of the dead, or for
the beginning of the judgment of the living. (1 Ans. 94)But
Inspiration declared clearlyUnless the close of the judgment for
the dead and the commencement for the living be made known to us,
we
would have no present truth while the judgment for the living is
in session. (2 SR 164)
This reading concretely builds the impregnable Truth, that the
revelation of the close of the judgment of the
dead, and the commencement for the judgment of the living is of
as great importance as the revelation of the
gospel Itself. (2 SR 220) The SROD declared: So while it was not
exactly understood beforehand (the close
of the judgment of the dead, and the beginning for the living)
what the nature of the event would be, yet when the
fullness of the time came and no other event occurred but this
one, it was thereby identified as the one predicted
in Ezekiel 4 in connection with the end of the 430 prophetic
years when the scroll was to unroll another turn.
(1 Ans. 95) Such unrolling of the scroll is identical to that
of1930, according to 1 SC 7:8.
What does it mean by the word identical? The word identical is
an adjective, meaning absolutely the
same, the very same. Uniform with something else in quality,
condition and appearance. Heres a diagram toshow how identical such
unrolling of the scroll.

Now lets turn back to our main subjectISAIAH 2:22
1 TR 44 As never before, we should pray not only that laborers
may be sent forth into the great harvest-
field but that we may have a clear conception of truth so that
when the messengers of truth shall come, we may
accept the message and respect the messenger.--
Testimonies, Vol. 6, p. 420. Let us, therefore, sanctify theLord
of hosts Himself, and
CEASE FROM MEN.
As you will find yourself under severe trial if you obey your
inner convictions and take hold of the truth, you
must therefore let the Lord alone be your guide, and Inspiration
your only teacher. Do not value your salvation so
little as to trust to the wisdom of another. Be wise: obey the
word of the Lord, investigate for yourself, and do not
delay, for you know not the narrow margin of time between you
and heaven! Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not
confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that
lieth in thy bosom. Mic. 7:5. (1 TR 44)
V.T. Houteff is dead and unable to defend himself, the living
multitude, asleep under the covers of their sins,
are unable to detect the snares of the devil. What a lesson to
take the Lords advice, to trust His Word even toone jot or one
title (Matt. 5:18), and if necessary to distrust every mortal being
(Isa. 2:22). (5 TR 17, 18) The
Lord alone moreover, is responsible for your salvation, and to
Him alone are you accountable for your sins.
Cease ye hereafter from man, whose breath is in his nostrils:
for wherein is he to be accounted of? Isa. 2:22.
Do not become an invalid by letting others think for you, but
make use of the Gift of Mind and Reason. ( 13 TR
30, 31)
1 TG 5:7, 8 The Lords concern, that the church walk in the light
of the Lord (in Inspirations light for
today) definitely implies that she is not now walking in His
light; and His command, found in the last verse of
Isaiahs chapter, clearly reveals that she is walking in the
sparks of uninspired men. The Lord, therefore,
commands:
Isa. 2:22 -- Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils:
for wherein is he to be accounted of? (1

7/27/2019 Isaiah 2:22
8/9
Thus adding evidence to evidence, the passages overwhelmingly
show that Isaiah 2:22 directly points out to
those uninspired men, but yet they prophesy. God declared: I
have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied
(Jer. 23:21) 3 TR 102. These self-appointed leaders who avowedly
laying no claim to Inspiration are thereby
unwittingly crying out that the Lord has not sent them. (6 TR
71)
These self-appointed leaders, like the Jewish leaders they lead
Gods people to worship the dead prophet, but
at the same time killing the living ones. (6 TR 7) For the devil
knoweth, that the dead prophet cannot reprimand
them while lying unconcious in his grave. Worshipping the dead
prophets and killing the living ones is a brutaleffort to block the
progress of Truth, to deceive self and others. (2 TG 26:23)
2 TG 27:9 To glory in man, whether it be in self or in another,
is to cheat yourself of everything. Take for
example the Jews: They were determined to be of Moses, and as
they saw it, to accept the prophets, or even
Christ, to them it meant to give up Moses! As a result, rather
than all things being theirs, they lost everything,
even Moses, and where are they today? The wood, hay, and stubble
which they piled upon the structure of Truth
after Moses left them, has long been swept away by the Fire of
Truth, the Holy Spirit. (2 TG 27:9)
If only through the channel of Inspiration can our God
communicate His people, interpret the Scriptures
reveal the Truth and unmask error then, if there is no channel
of Inspiration unto whom we are communicating?
Assuredly, not from God. Therefore, such preaching and teaching
that V.T. Houteff is the last manifestation of thegift of
Inspiration is to completely cut off all communications from God.
The SROD declared clearly, that it is an
attempt to put God out of sight, and to bring uninspired men to
the front. (3 Ans. 30) Satans subversives have
sought to sever the lines of communication between the Spirit of
Truth and the people of God. (WHR 54)
When the prophet died, the church is thus cut off from the very
source of its life, as was the Jewish church
from the death of the prophet Malachi to the rise of John the
Baptist, how could it maintain its vitality and
growth? (3 Ans. 60) The line of communication between her and
God is cut off as it was in Joshuas time. She
can no more now serve her members meat in due season than could
the Jews without the prophets. Her
blindness to this fact and her assumption that she is in need of
nothing make her wound incurable. (7 JL 4) The
same spirit of Laodiceanism in the days of V.T. Houteff, existed
among Davidia today. they feel no need of
Gods help through Inspiration, expect none, are prejudiced,
suspicious, and fearful of everyone that disagrees
with their preconceived idea. They are therefore even harder to
reach with the saving Truth for today than were
the Jews of yesterday. (2 TG 24:22) Because they have the Bible,
E.G. White writings and the SROD is what
make them rich. (1 TG 8:18) Not knowing, that without the human
channel Gods Written Word is as Inactive as
though It were but ink and paper. (2 TG 24:23)
For all, there exists in this connection one great need: the
Spirit of Truth, Whose right alone it is to interpret
the Scriptures. (3 TR 91) So he who would have true religion,
must pray for the Spirit of Truth. (5 Ans. 22)
Thus putting aside your own thoughts and your own ways, and
availing yourselves of the Lords (Isa. 55:8, 9), in
exclusive devotion to the Spirit of Truth, you will see eye to
eye, and speak the same thing. Then only will you be
able to dispel the spirit of confusion and to retain the Spirit
of love and unity. (7 SC 7-12:18) That we should not
meddle the works of Inspiration (1 Ans. 47) but wait for the
Spirit of Truth to come to teach us, which teaching is
called Inspiration. (2 SC 12:6) Forever cease from all
uninspired men, let the Lord alone be your guide andInspiration
your only teacher. (1 TR 44)
The following quotation plainly shows that only Inspiration (a
man called of God) can declare the Truth
and nothing but the Truth. (2 SC 3, 4:13) In Its Scriptural
sense, Inspiration is defined as a divine influence
directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul of man. (
1 Ans. 40) It is not the words of the Bible that
are inspired, but the men that were inspired. Inspiration acts
not on the mans words or his expressions but on the
man himself, who, under the influence of the Holy Ghost, is
imbued with thoughts. But the words receive the
impress of the individual mind. The divine mind is diffused. The
divine mind and will is combined with the
human mind and will; thus the utterances of the man are the word
of God. (1 SM 21)
-
7/27/2019 Isaiah 2:22
9/9
2 SR 97 It is a most wonderful thing to note how the old enemy
has succeeded in defiling the church in
every age through its leadership. The highest human intellect
has been continually led into error and thus have
served Satan to their own downfall. Will Gods people never
profit by these historical and biblical facts? Are not
these things written for our admonition upon whom the ends of
the world are come? God, by His Holy Word,
commands: Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils:
for wherein is he to be accounted of? ( Isa.
2:22.) (2 SR 97)
This reading definitely implied that Isaiah 2:22, that we need
to forever cease are those self-appointed
leaders who took over the Movement, after such heaven called
founder died the Movement fall into the hands
of uninspired men. (1 Ans. 65) Although, Sacred history is
repetitious with the tragic lesson that when a
people go wrong, as did Israel in Elijahs and again in Christs
time, they are no longer sensible of their being
wrong. Likewise repetitious is the even more tragic lesson that
such a people have always misconstrued Gods
efforts to bring them to a realization of their errors. So once
they are led astray from the teachings of the
prophets, and captivated by new and magnetic human leadership,
their liberation and correction become almost
impossible. (1 Ans. 69, 70) Being determined, though, to bring
the Reformation to naught, Satan has from its
beginning constantly worked to cause every church member to
revel in private interpretation of the Scriptures
and in extra Biblical theories. (1 Ans. 64, 65)
2 TG 24:26, 27 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his
nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?Isa. 2:22. Inspired
Truth, Brother, Sister, is the only thing that counts, and only
when you yourself investigate and
personally decide to take your stand for it though the whole
world rejects it and takes issue with you. Let us
therefore no longer drift with the tide as a pebble with the
waves of the sea. We must be men and women of
stamina and stability if we are to follow God and His Truth. (2
TG 24:26, 27)
The statement, Inspired Truth, Brother, Sister, is the only
thing that counts definitely implied that only
an inspired messenger we need to turn to. But the prophets of
Baal successfully instilled deeply into the minds of
Davidia, to object against Inspiration, instead of against
uninspired ones. (2 SC 3, 4:11) Remember, whatever
doctrines and interpretations which did not come through the
channel of Inspiration they were only devisings of
men. (1 TG 4:20)
2 TG 27:8 Here we are told that the theories -- wood, hay,
stubble -- brought in by men whom God has
not sent, not inspired, such as I called your attention to at
the beginning, theories which appear to arise from a
great store of knowledge, but which are devoid of the Spirit,
are as you already see rubbish on which the fire of
God thrives and the souls of men starve. (2 TG 27:8)
5 JL 11, 12 Shun uninspired interpretations of the Scriptures
lest you be led not by the Spirit of all
Truth, but by the spirit of the Devil that is working through
everyone who engages in private interpretations of
the Scriptures to keep himself and others in darkness and away
from the Spirit of Truth for this very time.
Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein
is he to be accounted of? (Isa. 2:22), but do
something to save them. (5 JL 11, 12)
Yours in Christ Jesus,ARIEL PEREZ DACUTANAN
