About the Book
Excerpt from The Bible True From the Beginning, Vol. 2 Judgement of W orks. The Young Men's Grade is the Grade of Faith. Every Grade has its peculiar words. The words, 'oak, ' 'amorite, ' 'moreh, ' etc., are words of the Heathen Grade. The Servants' Grade has most Grade - Words. They are, for the most part, words denoting actions of hand, sense-actions, etc. They include the words servants, ' 'see, ' 'find, ' 'place, ' 'hear, ' 'work, ' 'do, ' 'come, ' 'ass, ' 'camel, ' 'shoulder, ' 'shechem, ' 'sons of Israel, ' 012, 'with, ' 737, 'this, ' etc. The grade-words of the Young Men's Grade include the words 'young men, ' 'men, ' 'people, ' 'israel, ' Nin, 'this, ' 13, 'with, ' etc. T here are two special grade-laws. First, words of the Grade of Servants are sometimes used with a spiritual application to the Grade of Tongues. It is as when the Apostle Paul speaks of service in spirit, and of service in letter. Secondly, one or more words of the Servants' Grade are sometimes conjoined with one or more words of the Young Men's Grade. This conjoined idiom always betokens either the Heathen Grade or the Grade of Tongues. Still, as the Grades are so far apart, and one pertains to a Fleshly and the other to a Spiritual Realm, We can always see how the conjoined idiom is to be applied. Other features of the gradal-laws are set forth in the work. The writer is well aware that, at first sight, this teaching will seem to many to be foolish, and a striving about words to no profit. It will be said, How can Books of Scripture written by different men, in times far apart, be pervaded by the same gradal lawsp It might be answered, Trees that are not planted together yet follow the same laws of growth; the stars did not all come into existence together, but they are all ruled by the same laws of motion. So, in Inspiration, God has worked all in all. The various Books of the Bible have not come to us at random, like sparks from an anvil, neither is there any rust beneath their shining. They form a Living Word, which has had more of God and of His methodical action in its growth than any living object in Nature's fields ever enjoyed. They who test these Scriptural Grade - Laws, as the writer has been doing for many years, with book after book, and with chapter after chapter, of the Bible, will no longer regard them as foolish. They will rather look upon this Gradal System of Scripture as affording a striking illustration of the way in which God chooses weak things to confound the mighty. These grade-words also constitute an effectual safeguard against allegorical license. They are Divinely-appointed buoys to mark out the course we must follow in launching out into the depths of Inspired Truth.
