		<description><![CDATA[you all claim to follow the writings of E.G . White and Wagoner and Jones. Nothing could be further from the truth! The glory of man is left in the dust if you truly have read these books. The very fact that you revere a man, any man, over another shows this and it upsets me that you actually think that you can fool people into following this load of man made garbage and call it the Gospel. THE LORD is the only righteous person to have ever walked the planet, it is HIS righteousness ALONE! Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus and follow only him. It makes since that your Koresh and Roden used man made methods to gain followers, playing guitar, sleeping with other mens wives and on and on! They did not understand the true 1888 message.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Ahmad,

We are thankful to God that we are able to answers questions that are in harmony with God&#039;s Word and His last day message for us today. We firmly believe that God is communicating to His chosen people today in clear lines as revealed in the original Shepherd&#039;s Rod message despite the enemy&#039;s attempts to divert and confuse those who are thirsting for Truth and righteousness. But Satan is a defeated foe in the name of Christ Jesus our only hope and salvation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The &quot;governor shall proceed from the midst of them&quot; does not imply that he, antitypical king David, must be one &quot;of&quot; them. i.e. one of the number 144,000. This is one of Lennox Sam&#039;s play on words to exhault himself to the throne. But we must go by the weight of evidence as to the identity of this one shepherd. The Rod is clear that is none other that antitypical Jezreel and no one in their right mind would dare presume to take this title for him whom it rightly belongs lest they be under satantic inspiration. One could also do a word search in the concordance to see how the Bible uses the word &quot;midst&quot; to show that is does not imply or prove that it must be from within or part of the substance from whatever they are coming from. I would encourage you to do this and report your findings in another comment.

May God bless your search for Truth as for hidden treasure and to rightly divide the Word of Truth.

		<description><![CDATA[Now how do we harmonize this word because I believe this is where Lennox Sam has his conviction, &quot;These groups are (1) the 144,000, Israelites the first fruits of the living, whose &quot;nobles shall be of themselves,&quot; and whose &quot;governor shall proceed from the midst of them&quot; (Jer. 30:21); they shall return to Jerusalem, and stand on Mount Sion with the Lamb&quot; (Tract no. 9, p. 65). The David will be from among them. Or what is the &quot;midst of them mean&quot; in this case.
Thanks and may God bless you for the work]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Brother Kevin,

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Yes Brother Houteff along with those who die in the faith of the three angels message (Sis. White, James White, etc.) will arise to resume their work again in the kingdom of God (7T 17). However, they are not part of the number of the 144,000 living saints who will be translated without ever tasting death (GC 648). Brother Houteff and Sister White are part of a group of dead saints who are raised from the grave (for the five groups that will be in the kingdom please see &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.shepherds-rod-speaks.org/wp-content/Original-Scans/Tract-9-2ndEd-s.pdf&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Tract No. 9&lt;/a&gt;, pp. 65, 66). Also Sister White says plainly in Early Writings, p. 40 that she will be &quot;with&quot; the 144,000 not one &quot;of&quot; the numbered group of the first fruits of the living. 

When it comes to the number of only 144,000 being saved from the 18 million plus membership of the SDA church remember that only 8 were saved on the ark out of millions in Noah&#039;s day and only 120 were gathered in the upper room after Christ, the very Son of God, preached before millions for 3.5 yrs. God wants quality, not quantity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friend:  I believe you are going to have to locate an internet cafe and bring some sort of portable storage device such as a thumb/flash drive or a CD disk and copy all of the files of interest onto the device. You can latter use the storage device in another computer that is connected to a printer to open the PDF files and have them printed out. As far as a getting these PDF files onto a cell phone we do not have any experience with this although we have heard that it can be done. It probably depends upon the type of cell phone and service you have, also the memory allocation for your device. You may want to ask others where you live that may have some more knowledge about this sort of electronic transaction. 

May God help you find what you are searching for in terms of the present truth the flock needs now.-- The Publishers]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amen. The world will indeed never know the things of God. Now about anti-typical Elijah and David. Since Houteff will arise as in Dan 12:2 (Special resurrection) Can we say that he will part of the 144,000 or will just be their leader and not one of them. I will quote Answerer book number 3, &quot;And if &quot;the closing work for the church&quot; means that out of these millions of members only 144,000 saints are indeed to be translated, then what slim chance any particular member stands of ever being saved! &quot; p. 26) Living Saints. what can we say here. I read your article on  David being Houteff in the end time. How can we harmonize and explain that it will not be 144,001 or something. Thanks]]></description>
