WHAT ABOUT THE ANGELS?

March 31 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

WHAT ABOUT THE ANGELS? 

The people who make up the “three angels” of Revelation 14 are often as forgetful as the people of the world. In moments like the sudden strike of the COVID-19 assassin, they panic, forgetting that the angels under the High and Holy One who inhabits eternity are commissioned to save the godly, not when in safe Heaven but on extremely-dangerous, calamitous Earth.

In the same manner that Peter took his eyes off from looking at Jesus, enabling him to do the impossible of literally walking on water, that same moment he began to drown. Psalms 34: 4-10 should be read again by God’s people at this very time. Remember that like the Holy Spirit, these angel spirit-beings have pure and undefiled feelings that are far superior and sensitive than that of sinners like us. Do nothing to grieve them away. The evil angels are constantly poised to attack us. We can ill afford to be sport to these evil spirits, and yet how often we expose ourselves and vulnerabilities to these demonic opportunists.

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).

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.

From the Seventh Trumpet to the Last Trumpet

     “The second woe is past. Behold the third woe cometh quickly.” Revelation 11: 14.

“Behold, I come quickly.” Revelation 22: 12.

Clarifications need to be made quickly regarding quickly as used in the above verses. Some make the same application of the first with Christ’s last recorded promise, “Behold, I come quickly,” suggesting that the former means a longer lapse of time rather than commencing immediately. John penned these words, they say, in A.D. 70, and today, two thousand years after, Christ has not yet come. That is not quite quick, or so it seems.

Quotable Quote

“The Word is a power, a sword, in the hands of the human agent, but the Holy Spirit, in its vital power, is the efficiency to impress the mind.”

 E.G. White, Sons & Daughters, p. 30.

The ‘Woe’ Side of the Seventh Trumpet

If you have been lackadaisically lumbering along on the treadmill of prophetic mediocrity, self-assured, Laodicean-like, that you are already settled and nestled in a safe space, just awaiting the amazing that will happen when Christ returns “any minute now,” please be warned: Though appearing to be a good read from many a religious literature, and easy listening sounds emanating from many pulpits in Christendom, this, in fact, is anything but the sure thing.

The ‘Mystery of God is Finished Up’ During the Seventh Trumpet– the Climactic Point of the Great Controversy!

Before zeroing into seventh trumpet, we must bear in mind this bigger picture: the seven trumpets are mated with the prophecies of Daniel chapters 2 and 7. Uriah Smith says: “The blowing of the trumpets by the seven angels comes as a complement to the prophecy of Daniel 2 and 7, beginning with the breaking up of the old Roman Empire into its ten divisions. In the first 4 trumpets [which we covered in past issues], we have a description of the special events which marked Rome’s fall.”- Daniel and the Revelation, p. 475.

Historical Details of the Prophecies Presaging the Advent Movement         

 QUOTABLE QUOTE

“The true symbol of the United States of America is not the Bald Eagle—it’s the pendulum. And when it goes too far in one direction, it is going to swing back.”

No, the symbol of America is neither the Bald Eagle nor a pendulum! According to Bible prophecy America was designated only one symbol filled with profound meaning: “Another beast with lamb-like horns that will speak like a dragon.” See Revelation 13: 11, 12. The quote above is by Ruth Bader Ginsburg (RGB for short), the oldest (85 years old) the three current female Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, quoting her late husband and fellow lawyer, Marty Ginsberg: interview with NPR’s Nina Totenberg following screening of RBG’s own biopic, “On the Basis of Sex,” reported by Amy Zimmerman, Daily Beast, 12-18-18.

Second Half of the Seven Thunders: the Moral Fall of the Churches

This Thanksgiving, let’s thank God for religious liberty and helping us better understand what the “seven thunders” were–a delineation of clustered events and time prophecies that would be understood only after the events had accomplished their appointed work. These are:
