Tracing the Advent Movement from Its Embryonic Origins

God still works in mysterious ways. This past Sunday evening, as I sat in front of my computer, my eyes wandered on its own towards a faded, soft-bound book squeezed between larger books arranged in my computer’s book shelf. (I am old school, preferring to read directly from the book itself where my fingers can feel its pages and hear the soft, rustling sound as I flip through them. Sorry. E-books deny me this satisfaction).

Lest Christianity Forget ‘The Blackest in the Black Catalogue of Crime’

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

“Not Enoch, who was translated to heaven, not Elijah, who ascended in a chariot of fire, was greater or more honored than John the Baptist, who perished alone in a dungeon.”

-E.G. White, “Death & Imprisonment of John” chapter, Desire of Ages, p. 225.

Jesus gave His disciples the brightest hopes and the greatest promises, including eternal life and a seat with Him in

How France, One of the Ten Toes of the Western Roman Empire Fulfilled Very Specific Prophecies

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA

How France, One of the Ten Toes of the Western Roman Empire Fulfilled Very Specific Prophecies

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

“Those who make war on heaven make graves for themselves.”

– George Storrs, Midnight Cry, 1843.

The forty and two months of Rev. 11: 2 is the same prophetic period denoted as “three days and a half.” Rev. 11: 11. A day in prophetic time is equivalent to a literal year of 360 days. That we have amply shown earlier in (a) the reckoning of flood in Genesis and (2) the time prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, all within and ending on the year 1844 of the 2300-day prophecy of Daniel 8: 14.

The ‘beast that ascends from the bottomless pit’ and the Two Witnesses/Prophets–Part 2

“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not: for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread underfoot forty and two months.” Rev. 11: 1, 2.

The last Monday of May is designated a federal Memorial Day, annually set aside for remembering people who died while serving the nation’s armed forces.

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER TWO – Part XXVII

THE TWO WITNESSES REVIVED AND RESTORED – Part VIII

    After three days and a half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Revelation 11: 10, K.J.V.

The historian George Storrs, quoted in Daniel and the Revelation, Uriah Smith, says that:

     “But ‘the triumphing of the wicked is short;’ so was it in France, for their war on the Bible and Christianity had well-nigh swallowed them all up.  The set out to destroy Christ’s ‘two witnesses,’ but they filled Franc with blood and horror, so that they were horror-struck at the result of their wicked deeds, and were glad to remove their impious hands from the Bible.’ – Midnight Cry, May 14, 1843, Vol. IX, Nos. 5, 6, p. 47.

PERVERSION OF LIBERTY AND REASON – Part VII

First this: The New York Times reports that recent studies show that the percentage of Protestant Americans is in steep decline:

     “For the first times since researchers began tracking the religious identity of Americans, fewer than half said they were Protestants, a steep decline from 40 years ago when Protestant churches claimed the loyalty of more than two-thirds of the population. A new study released . . . by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that it was not just liberal mainline Protestants, like Methodists and Episcopalians, who abandoned their faith, but also more conservative evangelical and ‘born again’ Protestants.

The losses were among white Protestants, but not among black or minority Protestants, the study found, based on surveys conducted this summer. When they leave, instead of switching churches, they join the growing ranks who do not identify with any religion. Nearly one in five Americans say they are atheist, agnostic, or ‘nothing in particular.’” www.nytimes/2012/10/10/us/study-finds-that-percentage of-protestant-americans-is declining.

Biblical NumerologyNUMBER TWO – Part XXV

DEADLY RESULT OF ATHEISM AND LICENTIOUSNESS COMBINED – Part VI

 

 “And their bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.” Rev. 11: 7, 8, 10, K.J.V.

 In The Geat Controversy (1911), “The Bible and the French Revolution,” ch. 15, pp. 269-74, Ellen G. White reviews the historical fulfillment of this prophecy:

“According to the words of the prophet [John], then, a little before the year 1798 some power of satanic origin and character would rise to make war upon the Bible. And in the land where the testimony of God’s two witnesses should thus be silenced, there would be manifest the atheism of the Pharaoh and the licentiousness of Sodom.
