GENESIS 3:15: EMBRYO OF THE GREAT CONTROVERSY, THE GOSPEL SEED AND OF PROPHECY AND HISTORY (Part 1) 

MID-WEEK MANNA FROM PASTOR NAT’S DESK:

November 30, 2022

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.

THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST IS NOT THE ‘MISSING LINK’ BUT THE GOLDEN LINK THAT UNITES HUMANITY TO DIVINITY

October 1, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST IS NOT THE ‘MISSING LINK’ BUT THE GOLDEN LINK THAT UNITES HUMANITY TO DIVINITY

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed in in the world, received up into glory.”

1 Tim. 3:16, KJV.

“It will be profitable to contemplate the DIVINE CONDESCENSION, the SACRIFICE, the SELF-DENIAL, the HUMILIATION, the RESISTANCE the Son of God encountered in doing His work for fallen men.

THE ARMY OF CHRIST’S KINGDOM OF GRACE ON EARTH

September 10, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE ARMY OF CHRIST’S KINGDOM OF GRACE ON EARTH

“Take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Eph. 6:13, KJV.

“The strength of an army is measured largely by the efficiency of the men in the ranks. A wise general instructs his officers to train every soldier for active service. He seeks to develop the highest efficiency on the part of all. If he were to depend on his officers alone he could never expect to conduct a successful campaign. He counts on loyal and untiring service from every men in his army. The responsibility rests largely upon the men in the ranks.

And so it is in the army of Prince Emmanuel. Our General, who has never lost a battle, expects willing, faithful service from everyone who has enlisted under His banner.

EGYPT’S HATRED TOWARDS THE SABBATH

June 2, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

EGYPT’S HATRED TOWARDS THE SABBATH See Exodus 5: 4-14.

Long before the Ten Commandments were written on two tables of stone by the Creator’s own finger and given to Moses atop Mt. Sinai, the Sabbath day observance and worship was already a point controversy even while Israel was still slaves in Egypt— the first atheistic empire!

Moses and Aaron tried to teach the Israelites to observe the Sabbath day in Egypt. But resting on the Sabbath angered the pharaoh and he issued a DECREE that made Sabbath-keeping impossible in Egypt.

CONTEMPLATE ON THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS, NOT THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

CONTEMPLATE ON THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS, NOT THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Tim. 3:16, KJV.

As the great controversy on earth grows worse, as prophesied, there is one glorious truth that transcends all the truths in the Bible and is beyond any and all controversies that Satan’s diabolical mind can invent. What is it? “Without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh” in the incarnation!

Revealed! The Fowler’s fastening Cords and Snares!

   “I will say unto the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler.”

Ps. 91: 2, 3, K.J.V.  

Here’s more: “Our soul is escaped as a bird out of a snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Ps. 124: 7, 8. “Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.” Prov. 6: 5. “The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come: Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred. The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the [false] prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.” Hos. 9: 8.

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” So, what is it?

Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.” So, what is it?

That’s in John 8: 36. It is a solemn thing to die but a much more solemn thing to be alive in these times in which we live in for the people identified in prophecy as “they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus” and “have the Spirit of prophecy, which is the testimony of Jesus.”

Rev. 14: 12; 19: 10.

    “Everything in the world is in agitation. The signs of the times are ominous. Coming events cast their shadows before. The Spirit of God is withdrawing from the earth, and calamity follows calamity by sea and by land. There are tempests, earthquakes, fires, floods, murders of every grade. Who can read the future? Where is security? There is assurance in nothing that is human or earthly. Rapidly are men ranging themselves under the banner they have chosen. Restlessly are they waiting and watching the movements of their leaders

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE – Part XVIII

THE THREE: THAT BEAR WITNESSES IN HEAVEN, AND AGREE ON EARTH

     “The greatest homage we can pay to the truth is to use it.”- Charles Dickens.   “It often requires more bravery to tell the simple truth than it does to win a battle.”- Josh Billings (pen name of Henry Wheeler, American writer, journalist, and humorist second only to Mark Twain.) The most translated female non-fiction author in the history of literature, as well as the most translated American non-fiction author of either gender, Ellen G. White (see Wikipedia), wrote the following regarding Bible truth:  “Truth is no truth to them who do not practice it.” “Age does not make error become truth.” “The garments of truth are often stolen to hide features of heresy.” “Vital truth is impressed upon the mind by the Holy Spirit’s power.” And, “Christ is the inexhaustible wellspring of truth.”  

‘Higher criticism’ and ‘higher education’ destroy faith in God’s Word

Apostle Paul taught the early Christian church the three fundamental truths of the science of salvation of the eternal gospel from which the other glorious truths branch out from, namely, (emphasis supplied):
