<noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="" /></noinclude>January 27 (296) Cry aloud, spare not j lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.-Isa. 58: 1. The commission of God to his anointed ones today shows that there must be a work done to aid even those who are in Zion. It is an easy matter to become negligent of one's privileges. Negligence is a trans- gression against the Lord, and an infraction of the terms of the covenant made with him. Hence the Lord God gives the above prophetic instruction to his faithful servant class. This and other scriptures indicate that there are some in Zion who may yet be awakened and take advantage of their privileges, and hence warning is to be given unto them. God's anoint- ed saints on earth must be faithful in this part of their work in behalf of their brethren. January 28 (308) And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man, in heaven.-Matt. 24: 30. t'The sign" appearing in heaven is the proof or the indication to those of God's temple class that the kingdom has begun. (Ps. 2: 6) Since this "sign" is to be seen in heaven, it follows that it would be discernible by those who have a vision of heavenly things, and this some of the faithful would see be- fore being taken to the Lord in heavenly glory. But they could not and did not see that sign until after 1918 A.D., because it was in that year that the Lord came to his temple and began to give the temple class greater light upon God 's Word and the significance of prophecy. By that time he had' prepared a place' for his faithful, as he had prophesied (John 14: 1-3); and now he had come to assign them a place in God's organization and to give them greater vision that they might ascertain God's will concerning them. <noinclude><references/></noinclude>
