Chapter Seven - Linda Kirk 287• Brethren in responsible positions “should not walk in their own ideas, butcounsel together” (Manuscript Releases, Vol. 2, pp. 333-334).So few accept the dreamsLinda Kirk says: (see Appendix L)“The fact that so few significant Bible students accepted the dreamswas another major cause for concern.“As you left our home, we hugged and all expressed our enjoyment ofour time together. It was an exciting and confusing time. We rememberyou stating that Brian and I, along with a couple in Ohio, the web master,and a pastor in Ohio were your main supporters. While that made us feelspecial, it also made us wonder why so few were accepting the dreams.”FactThe few that Linda mentioned were the main supporters at the time (early on inthe ministry), but they were not the only supporters. However, the majority havealways rejected God’s messages.God says:The Signs of the Times, February 7, 1878Jesus had said to the Pharisees: "This is your condemnation, that lighthas come into the world; and men choose darkness rather than light."

In infinite mercy a last warning message has beensent to the world, announcing that Christ is at the door and callingattention to God's broken law. But as the antediluvians rejected withscorn the warning of Noah, so will the pleasure lovers of today reject themessage of God's faithful servants. The world pursues its unvaryinground, absorbed as ever in its business and its pleasures, while the wrathof God is about to be visited on the transgressors of His law.Redemption Or The First Advent Of Christ With His Life And Ministry, p.57Christ had come first to his own favored people, to proclaim thegracious words of salvation in their ears; but they refused to listen to hiswords. That which stirred their malice was the meekness and plainnesswith which he had explained the words of the prophets concerning
