THE SHEPHERD'S ROD WHAT IS IT?
The primary purpose of The Shepherd's
Rod is to unlock the long-concealed
mystery concerning the ever-challenging
and much discussed subject of the 144,000
(Rev. 14:1), with the central object in view of
bringing about among God's people that
"thorough reformation" foretold by the
Spirit of Prophecy (Testimonies, Vol. 8, p.
251).
These truths, Divinely revealed, are of
supreme importance to the church just now
because of the trying, sifting circumstances
through which God's people are soon to
pass. Being vital concerns to salvation,
they call for decided action from ministry
and laity alike to separate themselves from
all worldliness and to anchor themselves on
the Solid Rock by obedience to all the truth
known to the church, if they would escape the
forthcoming ruin that is to take every sinner.

This book
is not published to explain, or comment on truths which have been previously
revealed, and accepted as such, but is to disclose realities which God has
Preserved through many generations, not only from becoming extinct, but also
preventing their meaning from being discovered by men of wisdom. Thus, He
who controls the Scriptures is able to reveal present truth to His people at
a time when needed. Therefore, though such truths are originally prophetic,
they become new, and stand as a direct letter from God to men at the time
revealed. "Thus saith God the Lord,... Behold, the former things are come to
pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of
them." (Isa. 42:5, 9.) Hence, it will prove the contents of this publication
new, interesting, instructive, inspiring, and converting. The message it
bears being taught by symbols and types illustrated on charts, becomes
simple, and all who are searching for truth with intention to fit themselves
for the heavenly garner, can easily comprehend it.
The book of
"Revelation" is said to be a closed book full of symbolical mysteries,
incomprehensive to human beings. This is true of all prophetic truths. The
one who admits this fact of the book of "Revelation," automatically
confesses that he does not understand the Bible; for all the books of Holy
Writ meet and end in the "Revelation." Therefore, to understand that book
is to understand the Bible. "The One who reveals the mysteries to John will
give to the diligent searcher for truth a foretaste of Heavenly things.
Those whose hearts are open to the reception of truth will be
enabled to understand its teachings, and will be granted the
blessing promised to those who 'hear the words of this prophecy, and keep
those things which are written therein'." –The Acts of the Apostles,
pp. 584, 585. Thus, when the Revelation is understood, it will unlock the
great Store House and bring to light all the prophetic mysteries that are
stored in it.
