FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE SABBATH IN THE ADVENT MOVEMENT

“Thus saith the Lord, Keep us Judgment, and do justice: for My salvation is NEAR to come, and My righteousness to be REVEALED.” Isa.56:1, KJV (See verses 2-8; cf. Rev.18).

“When does Isaiah’s prophecy apply? See Heb. 9: 26, 28; 10:10, 12,14; 1 Pet.1:4,5. The gathering of Sabbath-keepers just before Christ’s second advent in Isa. 56: 2-8.

“This gathering under the Advent Movement since 1844 includes every ‘man’ who ‘keepeth the Sabbath FROM POLLUTING IT, and keepeth his hand FROM DOING ANY EVIL.’ It also includes ‘the sons of the stranger’ and ‘the eunuchs that KEEP MY SABBATHS.’

Additions were made to their number, until there were assembled five thousand men besides women and children . .

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

A man without knowledge, and I have read,

May well be compared to one that is dead.

THOMAS INGELEND, The Disobedient Child

From Christ’s Object Lessons by Ellen G. White, pp. 405, 406, 408, 409, 411, 412, 413, 414, based on Christ’s Parable of the Ten Virgins, Matthew 25: 1-14:

In the scene upon which Christ and His disciples are gazing at, with the young evening as a  beautiful backdrop, they see a company awaiting the appearance of a bridal party, intending to join the procession.

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK:

“Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made them upright;

but they have sought out many inventions.”

King Solomon, Ecclesiastes 7: 29, K.J.V.

This is the question those who are convicted by the Holy Spirit will ask, not the popular yet unbiblical question: “Are you saved?” Such questioners force the issue by even demanding, “It’s answerable by either a Yes or No.” The Creator of the heavens and the earth,

Meeting the ‘Unprecedented’ with Visions of Future Glory

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER FOUR & FORTY– Part XV

Meeting the ‘Unprecedented’ with Visions of Future Glory

 

“VISION: Effort and Courage are not enough without purpose and direction.”- Anon

The wise man Solomon wrote:  “Without vision [revelation, N.K.J.V.], the people perish.” Proverbs 29: 18, K.J.V. It is really that simple,–that in order for any one not to perish but have everlasting life is to have vision or prophecy, i.e., in its fullest sense, extent, and comprehensive coverage taught in the plan of redemption of the everlasting gospel and illustrated in detail in the sanctuary doctrine and message. It is God’s antidote to sin and all of its evil consequences, both temporal and eternal. At the center of it all is Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

A.D. 27: John the Baptist, Christ’s prophesied forerunner, yielding to Christ’s gentle yet firm request, buried Him beneath the waters of the Jordan. “And straightway coming up out of the water,” Jesus “saw the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.” (Gabriel told Zacharias the priest, John’s father that the child would be filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother’s womb, and would go forth in the spirit and power of Elijah “to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Luke 1: 8-17).
