Studies in the Scriptures, Volume 7: The Finished Mystery
Russell, C. T. (Charles Taze)
Bible -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.; Jehovah's witnesses -- Controversial literature
As it was, Tyndale and some of the others interested in the Bible
suffered martyrdom, as enemies of the ‘Apostolic Bishops,’ and their
creeds and institutions.”—Z. ’15‐253. Are the clergy divinely ordained?
13:16. And he causeth all, both small and great.—“The great feast which
preceded the fall of Babylon would seem to correspond well with the great
denominational union expected soon, and the season of rejoicing which will
accompany it. The gold and silver vessels of the Lord’s house which were
profaned may fitly represent not only the precious truths of Divine
Revelation, but also the Lord’s consecrated people—the golden vessels
representing the Little Flock, and the more numerous silver vessels
representing the ‘Great Company.’ What may be the character of the
defilement and injury of these is of course problematical; but in any case
we remember that those consecrated vessels were all highly honored, and
restored to the Temple by Cyrus, and likewise we know that not only the
truths of Divine Revelation will all be cared for by our Lord, but also
that all that are His shall be glorified in the spiritual Temple which He
will rear shortly.”—Z. ’99‐175.
[Rich and] Poor AND RICH.—“So popular will Federated Churchianity become
that to even criticize it will be a ‘crime’ worthy of crucifixion in some
form—socially and financially, if not physically. Politicians will quickly
realize that their bread is buttered on that side, and be ready to enact
legislation of any kind desired by the Federation. Mammon‐worship will
take on new forms temporarily, but power will soon debauch the
unregenerate mass and drive out the regenerate faithful who may
temporarily be misled by the great ‘Union’ movement in the name of Christ,
but without His Spirit or authority.”—Z. ’06‐6.
