FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
HOW DANIEL AND REVELATION CAN BE UNDERSTOOD, ITS BLESSINGS AND RESULTS
“Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it, for the time is near.” Rev. 1: 3, NKJV.
On “eating the flesh” and “drinking” the blood of Christ, read first John 6: 44-69. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. Jesus is the Bread of life (temporal and eternal) the heavenly
Manna received by the “eating of His Word” in daily and progressive study of the “law and the testimony” (Isa.8:20). Since “the life of the flesh is in the blood”(Lev. 17:11), to “drink the blood of Christ” is to live His life-Example that He lived in and demonstrated in His flesh-and-blood human nature while in earth. Now this:
“Those who eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of God will bring from the books of Daniel and Revelation TRUTH that inspired by the Holy Spirit. They will START into action forces that cannot be repressed. The lips of CHILDREN will be opened to proclaim the MYSTERIES that have been hidden from the minds of men…..
“Many of the prophecies will be fulfilled in QUICK succession. Every element of power is ABOUT to set to work. PAST HISTORY WILL BE REPEATED; old controversies will arise to new life, and peril will beset GOD’S PEOPLE in every side. Intensity is taking hold of the human family [mankind itself]. It is permeating everything upon earth.
“Study Revelation in connection with Daniel, for history will be repeated…..We, with all our religious advantages, ought to know FAR MORE TODAY than we do know.
“Angels desire to look into the truths which are revealed to the people who with CONTRITE hearts are SEARCHING the Word of God and PRAYING for greater lengths and breadths and depths and heights of the KNOWLEDGE which He alone can give.
“As we near the close of this world’s history, the prophecies relating to the last days especially DEMAND our study. The last book of the New Testament Scriptures is FULL of truth that we need to UNDERSTAND.
“Satan has BLINDED the minds of many so that they have been glad of any EXCUSE for not making the Revelation their study. But Christ through His servant John has declared WHAT SHALL BE in the last days, and He says, ‘Blessed is he that readeth, and hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are WRITTEN therein.” Rev. 1:3, KJV.” – E. G. White, Maranatha, 30.
Part of the “religious advantages” that we are supposed to have, is the religious liberty which we still enjoy but are taking for granted. Soon, very soon, this last and most important God-endowed freedom and liberty will be forever taken away. Are you “making hay while the sun still shines”? Are you storing up for the “icy blasts” of the coming final “winter” of earth’s history? Do you know what and how to prepare for? Daniel and Revelation reveals all these to to those who “eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of man.” God bless all, NMF
