Chapter 4—The Implied Qualifying Clause 1856V 3

1. “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown”—if the Ninevites do not repent. 1856V 3.5

2. “I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it”—if ye will keep My covenant. (See Exodus 19:5, 6, where the Lord, speaking to Moses en route to Canaan, inserts the qualifying “if.”) 1856V 3.6

3. “I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever”—if ye will walk in the ways of righteousness. 1856V 3.7

If it is proper—and it is—to add to these predictions a qualifying clause, why is it not proper to do so with Mrs. White’s 1856 prediction? 1856V 3.8
