BEHOLD THE SUN NOT THE CLOUDS, THE ROSES NOT THE THORNS.

March 26, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

BEHOLD THE SUN NOT THE CLOUDS, THE ROSES NOT THE THORNS. 

  “But unto you that fear My name, shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings.” Mal. 4:2. “We also have the prophetic word made sure, which you would do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star arises in your hearts.” 2 Pet.1:19, NKJV.

The counterfeits Sun of righteousness is the “son of perdition,” the “man of sin”(2 Thess. 2:3)—symbols of Satan whose vicegerent on earth is the Antichrist, the papacy— who has a lot to do with what is taking the world by storm in this current covid-19 crisis, in case you don’t know or lost sight of in the manufactures excitement, panic, confusion and fear-mongering. It has been said that “Back of the clouds the sun is always shining.”  That is, behind and far higher than the dark, foreboding, glowering storm clouds is the steady bright sun, always shining, never dark. By nature, we tend to absorb what we gaze at and then bounce it off or reflect it on others as either a “savor of life unto life or death unto death”(2 Cor.2:15,16).

Six: the Number of Man, the Number of ‘the Man of Sin

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER SIX Part II

 Six: the Number of Man, the Number of ‘the Man of Sin’

 

“Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; 

and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”  Revelation 13: 18, Authorized Version.

 

The following is quoted from: An Exhaustive E.G. White Commentary on Revelation, Vol. II Footnotes of Rev. 13: 18. Review & Herald Publishing Association:

     “Here is wisdom. – Compare the phrase, ‘here is the mind which hath wisdom” (ch. 17: 9(. The wisdom here commended is doubtless that to which Paul refers in Eph. 1: 17. Only by divine enlightenment [not human wisdom] will men understand the mysteries of the Word of God (see on 1 Cor. 2:13). “
