Funding Guidelines and Principles

The Divine Plan Foundation assists with witnessing requests from Bible Student ecclesias but not from individuals, and to the extent that funds are available for such purposes. The DPF is not a humanitarian support organization. It was formed solely for promulgating the Gospel as originally taught by Jesus Christ and distributed through the ministry and writings of Charles T. Russell; not as a channel to teach alternative views or doctrines.

The Divine Plan Foundation Membership believes:

1. That the returned Lord, through Brother Russell, brought forth "meat in due season," and that these truths are essentially set forth in the six volumes of Studies in the Scriptures, Tabernacle Shadows, and the Zion's Watch Tower Reprints through the year 1916.

2. That our Lord, according to his promise, returned as a king in 1874, at which time he began his reign, the setting up of his kingdom, the binding of Satan, the first work of the times of restitution, and the early stages of the work of the Jubilee, and in about 1878 accomplished the resurrection of the sleeping saints.

3. That the bullock of Lev. 16 was typical of the humanity of the Lord Jesus, and the Lord's goat was typical of the humanity of the true church, and these, jointly sacrificing, comprise the sin-offering.

4. That the Christ, our Lord and His body members, comprise the Mediator of the New Covenant, and that this Covenant is the instrument which God will use to take away ungodliness from Jacob (Israel) first, and eventually from all mankind that will be obedient to the Law of that Covenant.

5. That the natural house of Israel will comprise the earthly seed of Abraham and will be the prophetic people through which the ancient worthies will work to establish the peace and authority in the earth.

6. That the commission of Jesus to his disciples, "Go ye and teach all nations," is still incumbent upon all his footstep followers to the extent of their ability.

7. That the door to the High Calling is still open.
