Broadside #2 1849/01/31 - To Those who are receiving the seal of the living God
Now is the time to lay up treasure in heaven, and to set our
hearts in order, ready for the
time of trouble.
Those only who have
clean hands and a pure heart will stand that trying time. Now is the
time for the law of God to be in our minds (foreheads), and written in
our hearts. The Lord has shown me the danger of letting our minds be
filled with worldly thoughts and cares. I saw that some minds were led
away from present truth and a love of the holy Bible, by reading other
exciting books; and others were filled with perplexity and care for
what they shall eat, drink and wear. I saw some, looking too far off
for the coming of the Lord. Time has continued on a few years longer
than they expected, therefore they think it may continue a few years
more, and in this way their minds are being led from present truth, out
after the world. In these things I saw great danger; for if the mind is
filled with other things, present truth is shut out, and there is no
place in our foreheads for the seal of the living God. This seal is the
Sabbath. I saw that the time for Jesus to be in the most holy place was
nearly finished, and that time can last but a very little longer; and
what leisure time we have should be spent in searching the Bible, which
is to judge us in the last day.
