p6: 1955 version reads, “These men of God visited the newborn child in the manger.” Revision reads, “These men of God visited the newborn child.” SRTC rejection explanation: “This change was made because the original seems to be inconsistent with the narrative of Jesus’ birth in 122:8, which states that three wise men from the east visited Jesus when he was almost three weeks old—about the time the family left the inn and over two weeks after they had moved out of the stable. Regardless of any explanation which might be offered in support of the original (such as the use of a small portable manger), the change cannot be justified on typographical grounds.”
Section 8: Michael’s Postbestowal Status
p7: Aside from John the Revelator (used twice: 45:4.1 and 47:10.2), there are two other usages of revelator—here and at 112:5.11, in connection to those involved with the preparation of this epochal revelation. Book of Revelations appears twice in the same paragraph: 139:4.14. Revelators is used at 23:2.9,24 in describing revelators of truth, a role performed by Mighty Messengers, and at 101:4.2, where the direct knowledge of the revelators in preparing these Papers is contrasted with the inspiredrevelations (presumably John’s, at least).
p8: See Topical Study: Prophecy and “signs of the times,” plus subTopical Study: A New Heaven And A New Earth.
. . . Jesus has promised sometime to return . . .: The one-word form is correct as the reference is to an indefinite point in time rather than to an indefinite period of time.
World of the Cross appears four times.
