MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:

GENESIS 3:15: EMBRYO OF THE GREAT CONTROVERSY, THE GOSPEL SEED AND OF PROPHECY AND HISTORY (Part 1)
“I will put ENMITY between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. It shall bruise your head and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Gen. 3:15, KJV.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “The kingdom of God is founded upon infinite love, compassion, and purity. In perfect obedience is found perfect joy.” (E. G White, Special Testimonies, Series B, Nos. 2 and 7, p. 18). This sublime truth is enfolded and unfolded in Christ’s conclusive summation of verses 1-7: “Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Matt. 5:48, KJV.
The two mechanisms through which the information, truth, nature, dynamics and spiritual nuances of both the great controversy and the GREATER plan of redemption are unfolded to mankind, are prophecy and history.
Where eternal Bible truth is concerned, prophecy and history are inseparable; one without the other is incomplete and handicapped; a two-legged creature as it were, vainly struggling to stand, much less walk, on one.
Furthermore, when one is foisted over the other
—-either through being a zealous but unsuspecting victim of guile and deception, willing ignorance, or reckless disregard for sacred truth, or worse, a calculated perpetration of the darkness of error and confusion, they but turn into Petri dishes where Satan “the father of lies and murderer from the beginning” cultivates and unleashes broadcast his most potent, deceptively-alluring, and widely-embraced counterfeit doctrine and errors.
Counterfeit prophecy throws God’s orderly revealed plan and timetable into fanciful speculations, disarray, and confusion. The theory of evolution is the counterfeit history of the origin of man, the earth and of all things visible and invisible. It presumptuously attempts to depose and occupy the sacred space and throne of omniscient and omnipotent authority that belongs to the God CREATOR alone. Satan, through Antichrist, his gigantic monolithic masterpiece, blasphemously attempts to be “verily God Himself on earth.
True prophecy and it’s corresponding adjunct of true history both expose the above fallacies and clarify and magnify the plan of redemption of the gospel of Jesus Christ and all the promises made and fulfilled—-beginning with Genesis 3:15.
To be continued next week, God willing. Bless all, NAF.
