Surprise, surprise when then finally come to the realization that the Rod message comes from God and He means what He says that everything stated in the Rod will come to pass. Unfortunately it will be to late for those who will then weep and gnash their teeth in abject horror when the angels of Ezekiel nine descend to earth to carry out the judgment of the living which first begins at the ancient men which stand before the house. A sad day indeed.

From the fact that the church had rejected the message and expelled the prophet from being in their midist. It is certain that they thought the work would collapse but to their surprise they saw it progressing and kept them tormented. I think it was the reason why they sent a spy. From what I have seen, people still cling to the so called great men, they say brother VT said he is one of the pipes but could not provide a written down statement.

When coming into contact with truth it either transform you and warms your heart or you resist and take up an enmity in the heart. Sadly it appears to be the latter for Elder Andreasen.

Thanks for making it available.
What’s even more interesting is that Brother Andreasen declined Brother Houteff’s offer to meet with his family. You would think that if Brother Andreasen was really there to get a better understanding of the Shepherd’s Rod movement then he would not have declined an offer to meet Brother Houteff’s family.

We are thankful to God that you appreciate the labors that went into this post. To God be the glory.

Regarding your question about why Brother Houteff did not step up and claim that he was one of the pipes in Zechariah’s vision of the golden bowl we believe that it is because that the nature of a true prophet or messenger of God is to never exult or promote themselves. Ellen White never claimed to be a prophet of God but rather only a messenger, the lesser light pointing to the greater light even though most all S.D.A.’s recognize her as a true prophetess of God.

We believe in this particular interview Andreasen was attempting to trap Brother Houteff and get him to exult his position. But Brother Houteff was wise enough to recognize the trap of a pharisee and answered as he did. And we should also realize that Andreasen had inside information coming from former Rodist Hazel Hendricks which is the likely source of the belief that was obvious amongst most Davidians who investigated the writings of Brother Houteff for themselves that he was by implication and weight of evidence one the two pipes in Zechariah’s vision and Sister White was the other. This is no more different that him recognizing that his work was specifically identified in scripture (Mic. 6:9, Isa. 7:21; 28:11, Mal. 3:1-3; Nah. 1:15) or Ellen White recognizing her work in scripture (Rev. 12:17, 19:10). If Andreasen was wise and lead of the Spirit he would have acknowledged this without such doubting questions.

What do you think about Brother H. not claiming inspiration or to be one of the 2 pipes? I (and you) fully believe that he fulfilled both of these requirements. I am thinking that he wanted to remove the stigma of the claims so as not to get into the way of the interview.
God bless,
Mae
