The Papacy Series- Part I

———————————————

First, What is the Papacy? – Many mistake the person of the pope as the Papacy itself, which pope, Protestants in the past have identified as either “the man of sin,” the antichrist,” or “the beast” of prophecy. More accurately, the Papacy, according to Webster’s Dictionary, Student Edition, 1976, refers to four things, namely “(1) the position or authority of the pope (2) the period during which the pope rules (3) the line of succession of popes (4) the government of the Roman Catholic Church, headed by the pope.”

The First Catholic U.S. President. – Thus, when one specific pope (or specific American President) is singled out by using unproven prophetic calculations as the one who brings about the long-anticipated U. S. –initiated National Sunday Law that shortly becomes globally enacted and enforced by all churches and governments (Revelation 13: 1-18), difficulties are encountered which clearly expose this faulty prophetic interpretation. For instance, when John F. Kennedy was elected as the 35th U.S. president, the youngest to be elected to office at the age of 43, the first Roman Catholic U.S. president, certain quarters in the Adventist community and others thought he was going to be the one to initiate the Sunday law while in office.

5. “To seal up the vision.” – Events that transpired within these 490 years, would t “seal,” or establish the entire vision of the 2,300 day-years.

6. “To anoint the most holy.”- During this time Christ would be anointed of the Holy Spirit, identifying Him as the promised Messiah after being baptized by John the Baptist. This has to be the primary application of the prophecy. It is also true that in the type, when the time came to begin the service in the earthly sanctuary, the entire sanctuary was anointed (Exo. 40:9); and when Christ entered the heavenly sanctuary to perform the work of which the earthly service was a type, the heavenly sanctuary was anointed before He began His ministry in the first apartment. Note: The heavenly sanctuary is also spoken of as the “most holy” in order to distinguish it from the earthly.

Wonderful changes were wrought in the history of the early church during the 490 years. After the angel had enumerated the events to take place during that period, he told Daniel where to locate it in the history of the world, by announcing the date of the beginning of the period:

A Quick Summary of the

Wonderful Prophecies of Daniel 8 & 9

From Nathaniel M. Fajardo

Extracted from “The Cross and Its Shadow” by Stephen. Haskell, pp. 188-197

Opening Statement

See Rev. 14: 6; Acts 17:31. The Day of Judgment is a definite period of time set apart in which to perform this specific work. Note: “God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose, and for every work,” Eccl. 3:17. The world and the churches were not left in darkness or ignorance in regard to the time and the nature of the closing work of judgment of which the literal Day of Atonement and its service in the Jewish economy of the Old Covenant, involving the cleansing of the sanctuary was its type. Through the prophet Daniel God foretold when that event would take place.

In chapter eight of the book of Daniel, we read that in the last days of the Babylonian kingdom the prophet was given a prophetic view of the history of the world and nations from that time until the end of all earthly kingdoms, that is, those that directly impact the experience of His people and truth.

The Gradual Poisoning of the Central Nervous System by Caffeine

—————————————

CAFFEINE is an alkaloid present in coffee and tea. It is a central nervous stimulant and a diuretic. The amount of caffeine received when coffee, decaffeinated coffee, tea, and cola drinks are ingested varies with respect to the strength of the preparation of brewed coffee or tea as well as the size of the container used for dispensing these beverages. A careful investigation of home-prepared coffee and tea in the Toronto, Canada area indicated

ANGELS IN OUR MIDST

In October 11, 2003, a local Adventist church celebrated their seventh anniversary at the Carson Civic Center. They published a souvenir program marking their church milestone with the theme: “Angels in Our Midst.” It was their chosen theme that caught my attention—not the pictures of the highlights of their church activities—although it is still true that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” The subject of angels lingered persistently on my mind, compelling me to review my notes and references of previous studies on the subject and update them from the law and the testimony. Finally, as a matter of habit, it resulted in putting this study notes together for my own personal edification and handy reference. It is by no means exhaustive but rather informative, open to further expansion in the light of the plan of salvation through prayerful study by any and all diligent spiritual truth-seekers of the magnificent plan of redemption.

Declaration of Intention

As usual, I share this information, with all the references included for further personal study in the hope that it will result in at least three things:

THE LAODICEAN CHURCH

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;

These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would that thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth.” Rev. 3:14-16 (KJV)
