ANGELS ARE OUR COMPANIONS ASSIGNED ‘TO KEEP US IN ALL OUR WAYS’

October 5, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

ANGELS ARE OUR COMPANIONS ASSIGNED ‘TO KEEP US IN ALL OUR WAYS’

“For unto the angels has He not put in subjection the world to come.”

Heb. 2: 5

“God has not put the world to come in subjection to the angels. Because of SIN man fell very low in the scale of values. When Christ identified Himself with humanity and became a man, a NEW DIGNITY became
ours. We are now closely united with God in a fellowship that is EVEN CLOSER than that which the angels know. In this NEW RELATIONSHIP God did not put man in subjection to angels! We deal directly with Christ without any [angelic] intermediary.” p. 90.

REJECTION OF 70-WEEK PROPHECY OF DANIEL 9 RESULTS IN THE REJECTION OF CHRIST

August 11, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

REJECTION OF 70-WEEK PROPHECY OF DANIEL 9 RESULTS IN THE REJECTION OF CHRIST

“The rejection of Christ by the chosen people at His time, and the professed chosen people today was and is preceded by a rejection of the prophecies of Daniel, particularly the 70-week prophecy of chapter 9:24-27.  It is the terrible consequence of rejecting God’s merciful warnings sent through His faithful prophets and messengers, then and now.

“The spiritual darkness which falls upon nations[such as America is right now], churches [such as mainstream professed Christianity], and individuals [such as you and me], is due, not to an arbitrary withdrawal of the SUCCORS OF DIVINE GRACE on the part of God, but to NEGLECT or REJECTION of divine light on the part of men.”

Understanding the Spiritual Kingdom of God

“And when He was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of should come, He answered them and said, ‘The kingdom of God cometh not with observation (outward show, margin): neither shall they say, ‘Lo here! or lo there! For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”

Luke 17: 20, 21, KJV, Authorized Version

According to the Bible a king is: “A male sovereign in whom is invested supreme authority over a tribe or nation. Generally, rule is for life and succession is on a hereditary basis. That over which he rules is called a kingdom.

“The kings of ancient heathen nations were often considered as deities or direct descendants of a deity. [The Egyptian kings, known as pharaohs, were worshipped as deities in the first atheistic world empire, ancient Egypt].

WHICH COMES FIRST: NATIONAL RUIN OR NATIONAL APOSTASY?

April 13, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WHICH COMES FIRST: NATIONAL RUIN OR NATIONAL APOSTASY?

“It is time for Thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void Thy law.” Ps. 119: 126, KJV.

Who is “they” and when, how and why will they “make void God’s law?  These should be the questions foremost in the minds of the people of the sanctuary and prophecy at this very time of earth’s history.

The COVID-19 crisis that our beloved nation (and the whole world) is currently struggling with, is packed with more profound prophetic ramifications than most realize, the ignorance, which in itself, is the greater crisis and calamity, as it nears eternal consequences.

Signs of the Times. . . Have Changed: ‘Guns and God: Growing Number of Churches Want Armed Security’

     “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, and delivers them.” Psalms 34: 7, K.J.V.   

Beginning after Pentecost, A.D. 1, the church (in contrast to the world), founded upon Christ as the Rock and Foundation by the first Twelve, undergoes its prophesied periods. It is now in its seventh and final remnant period, symbolized as the “Laodicean church,” spiritually lukewarm yet militant.” See on Revelation chapters 2 and 3.

All throughout its different yet successive periods, particularly now in its commandment-keeping, remnant stage, the faithful of each period who kept the flame of truth burning, well-understood and faithfully applied apostle Paul’s injunction, which says:

What Happened to the Movement Linking the Exodus and Advent Movements?

 “Thus says the Lord: Keep My justice, and do righteousness, for My salvation is about to come, and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.” Isiah 56: 1, 2, N.K.J.V.

We saw that the Protestant Reformation Movement was the connecting link between the Exodus in the Old and the Advent Movement in the New Testament.  God commanded the gospel prophet, Isaiah, to declare then and more specifically in in its antitypical application: “Cry aloud, spare not; lift up your voice like a trumpet. Tell My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.”

Second Half of the Seven Thunders: the Moral Fall of the Churches

This Thanksgiving, let’s thank God for religious liberty and helping us better understand what the “seven thunders” were–a delineation of clustered events and time prophecies that would be understood only after the events had accomplished their appointed work. These are:

The 1335 Prophetic Days and the Critical Year 1843

 

Verse 12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and and five and thirty days. 13 But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Daniel 12: 12, 13, K.J.V.

From Daniel and the Revelation by Uriah Smith, pp. 330-332:

The 1335 Prophetic Days. – After the 1290 prophetic days which considered the interpretation of earlier, “still another prophetic period is here introduced, denoting 1335 days. Can we tell when this period begins and ends? The only clue we have to the solution of this questions is the fact that it is spoken of in immediate connection with the 1290 years, which began in 508 as shown [earlier].
