The Four Beasts Lead the Heavenly Worship of the Son, Never of the Sun
 
It’s that time of year.  So, as true believers and loyal disciples of Christ, let us do His bidding, which, in itself, is a divine enabling to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world,” to which He added: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matt. 5: 13-16.
 
What is it? An urgent reminder of a pressing, present truth, thus, expectedly unpopular and unsavory to far too many now in these waning days of year 2016 but more critically, in these closing hours of earth’s probation—the antitype of Noah’s days.

Lest We Forget What Right Really Matters at the End

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER FOUR & FORTY– Part XII

Lest We Forget What Right Really Matters at the End

 

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Florida Representative, who suddenly resigned as DNC chairwoman after a trove of emails showed party officials conspiring to sabotage the campaign of Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, was quoted, saying, “the most sacred right we share as Americans [is] the right to vote.”

But according to Bible prophecy, church history of the Old World, and American history that saw its birth in the New World, the most sacred right every human being shares across the racial, cultural, political, financial, particularly religious divisions, globally, is the divinely-endowed, thus, inalienable right to worship God according to the dictates of conscience! Have we forgotten so soon?

The Three Sabbaths

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE- Part XLIX

The Three Sabbaths

There are generally three “sabbaths” over which Judeo-Christianity is still currently divided over. These do not include the ceremonial “new moon sabbaths” which were celebrated monthly, not weekly or yearly as with the seven annual sabbaths under the ceremonial law. The new moon sabbaths were based on a lunar calendar. It’s interesting to note that the Islamic Lunar calendar has 12 months also. Both the sun and

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE- Part XLVIII

 Christianity, the State, and the Sunday-sabbath

 

Thomas Jefferson, that “illustrious son of Virginia, who finally succeeded in separating church and state in that commonwealth and establishing religious freedom for all men, has this to say of its early history:”

     “The first settlers [of Virginia] were emigrants from England, of the English Church, just at a point of time when it was flushed with victory over the religions of all other persuasions. Possessed, as they became, of the powers of making, administering, and executing the laws, they showed equal intolerance in this country with their Presbyterian brethren who had emigrated to the northern government . . . .

 Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE- Part XLVII

 Will a “Christian” sharia-like Theocracy arise in America?

Let’s consider the matter in the light of ecclesiastical history—during the time of Christ, the Dark Ages in the Old World, and in America during its fledgling years:  First, my favorite author, Ellen G. White, penned the following based on Luke 17: 20-22:

     “Some of the Pharisees had come to Jesus demanding ‘when the kingdom should come.’ More than three years had passed since John the Baptist gave the message that like of a trumpet call had sounded through the land,

Spiritual Liberty Not Legal Tolerance

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE- Part XLV

 Spiritual Liberty Not Legal Tolerance

MAIN QUOTE FOR THIS ISSUE: “What other nations call religious tolerance, we call religious rights. They are not exercised in virtue of governmental indulgence, but as rights, of which government cannot deprive any portion of citizens, however small. Despotic power may invade those rights, but justice still confirms

What Evangelical Protestants Owe the German Princes?

The Diet of Spires by George Cattermole

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE- Part XXVIII

What Evangelical Protestants Owe the German Princes?

 

   To think that God acts in history by the intermediary of political actions of man, revolutionary or conservative, is the complete opposite of hope.- Jacques Ellul.

Ellen G. White in her book Great Controversy (1911 ed.), “Protest of the Princes” ch. 11, quoted below, reminds the remainder of evangelical Protestants of the epic history of the heroic struggle the vastly outnumbered German princes put up in refusing to compromise with Rome in the sixteenth century so that in this 21st century, Christianity is still enjoying religious freedom and free access to God’s Word where over a thousand years these were treated as heresies punishable by some of the worst forms of torture invented through the Office of the Inquisition.

FRIDAY MORNING MANNA

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE- Part XXVII

 What is a Confederacy?

    “For the Lord thus spake to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of the people, saying, Say ye not, a Confederacy [“conspiracy,” NKJV], to all them to whom this people shall say, a Confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, not be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread…..To the law and the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.’ Isaiah 8: 11-13, 20, KJV.

“The question has been asked, What do mean by a Confederacy? Who have formed confederacies? You know that a confederacy is? —a union of men in a work that does not bear the stamp of pure, straightforward, unswerving integrity/” – Ellen G. White, Manuscript 29, 1911/4BC 1142.
