MEANING OF ‘SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MAJESTY ON HIGH’

August 25, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

MEANING of ‘SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE MAJESTY ON HIGH’

When Christ, the anti-typical “Lamb of God” expired on the cross on 31 A.D, a victor over all the temptations and sins that all mankind is subject to, He rose on the “third day” a victor over death and the grave and ascended to the heavenly sanctuary to assume His office and work as High Priest (embracing the functions as Advocate, Mediator and Intercessor) for penitent and repentant sinners. This is the Priesthood of Christ as typified by the Aaronic and Levitical priesthood and their function and work throughout the Old Testament Mosaic era up to the first coming of Christ as the prophesied Messiah.

When Christ has finished His work on earth the Bible tells us that He ascended to heaven and “sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” [God the Father].

TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS

November 6, 2019

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS.

“The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow, for it will soon be cut off, and we fill fly away…..So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom (apply our hearts unto wisdom, KJV).” Psalms 90: 10,12, NKJV.

Without life time has no existence, no meaning, no value. God in Christ alone is the Source, Giver and Sustainer of life, temporal and eternal. Thus we read: “Our time belongs to God. Every moment is His, and we are under the most solemn obligation to improve it to His glory.

Revelation Chapter 10: the Parenthetical Prophecy between the Prophecies of the Sixth and Seventh Trumpets

     “Surely the Lord God will do nothing but He reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets.” Amos 3: 7.  “Prophets are subject to the prophets.” 1 Cor. 14: 32.

Not unlike the initially complex “wheels within wheels” that the prophet Ezekiel saw in vision (Exe. 1: 1-21; 10: 2-19, etc.), there are shorter time prophecy clusters contained within the longest time prophecy of the Bible—the 2,300 day (year) prophecy of Daniel 8:14.

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA

The tenth day of the seventh month: Sept. 23 or Oct. 22?

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK

“Conditional prophecy is when the fulfillment is dependent on the compliance of those to whom the promise is made, with the conditions on which it is given.”

– Sylvester Bliss, “Commentary on the Apocalypse,” pp. 7.

WHEN is the Day of Atonement, commonly known as Yom Kippur?  It depends on what calendar one is following: the Rabbbinical Calendar which is based on the Oral Tradition or the Karaite Calendar which is based on the written text.

It is vital to remember that Jesus himself and all His disciples and apostles presented and defended the truth of the gospel based on “it is written,” not “spoken,” though they came by way of spoken voice of the invisible God or by the inspiration of the invisible Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead.
