Synopsis Of Isaiah, Chapters 54-66 Inclusive

This call for reformation as set forth here is the direct result of the study of the 13 chapters in the book of Isaiah, as devised by the Seventh-day Adventist denomination and presented to the Churches in the entire organization throughout the world. These lessons were taught in the Sabbath School department during January, February, and March of the year 1929, and beginning with the 54th chapter, ended with the 66th. We believe the hand of GOD was leading, and that these particular lessons came at an appointed time by divine direction, with intention to arouse His people to action from the lukewarm Laodicean condition, and spiritual feebleness. {SR1: 135.1}

In Volume 3, page 492, we read: “General Conference, which is the highest authority that GOD has upon Earth.” (“General Conference” spoken of here is not one man’s opinion, but a General Conference of brethren assembled from all parts of the field, as described in Gospel Workers, page 489: “But when, in a General Conference, the judgment of brethren assembled from all parts of the field is exercised. Private independence and private judgment must not be stubbornly maintained but surrendered”). For this reason, GOD honored the General Conference, and sent the lessons through that channel, with the intention to bring forth a reformation in the entire denomination in one single quarter of Sabbath School studies. {SR1: 135.2}

These 13 chapters of Isaiah are one continuous letter written for the Church. Though they have been in the Bible for many centuries, they were intended for us at this present time, and stand as a direct epistle to the church now. The 54th chapter is the beginning of the letter, and it ends with the 66th. The following reasons are given for believing thus. {SR1: 135.3}
