Biblical Numerology: NUMBER SEVEN Part 2

Crescendo Principle in Prophetic Interpretation (Continued)

 

In his Certainty of the Third Angels’ Message, Louis F. Were, late Australian Bible scholar, evangelist, and author, First Impressions 7776 Bluff View, Berrien Springs, MI, pp. 196-198, says:

     “From the dawn of creation God has employed the meaning of names by which to teach His children. The intelligence test which God gave Adam was that of giving appropriate names to each species of life. ‘Out the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he could call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.” Gen. 2: 19, 20.  The names given were indicative of the characteristics or purpose. We also read: ‘Adam also called his wife’s name Eve [margin, i.e., Living],because she was the mother of all living.’ Gen. 3: 20.

 Ezekiel 9 Marking Same as Sealing in Revelation 7

 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Our words index the state of our heart; and whether men talk much or little, their words express the character of their thoughts.

Ellen G. White, Sons & Daughters, p. 180

————–

     And the Lord said to him (the man clothed in linen and had a writer’s inkhorn at his side), Go through the midst of the Jerusalem, and put a MARK on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it.” Ezekiel 9: 4.   

 

TIME SENSITIVE COUNSELS FOR ALL SPIRITUAL GUARDIANS

   

From Testimonies to Ministers and Workers by E. G. White, Pacific Press Publishing Asso., Boise, Idaho, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, 1962 ed., pp. 444-48.  “Be Ye Clean” (From the tract The Sin of Licentiousness by same author).

The Ezekiel 9 angel “goes through the midst of Jerusalem,” sealing or marking men in their foreheads with an indelible mark, unalterable seal, the sign of God’s signal power and exclusive right to be worshipped as Creator, of those “who sigh and cry for the abominations done in the land and in the church. At the end of this sealing work  the merciful slaying of all those without it takes place.

QUOTE FOR THIS ISSUE:

“If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

– Sun Tzu, “The Art of War,” Chinese General and Military Strategist

 

    “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain.” 1 Cor. 15: 57, 58, N.K.J.V.

The Bible clearly reveals four general yet overarching truths mankind should have long understood intellectually and spiritually if but for the nefarious work of deception and the woeful combination of pride, obstinacy, thus, sinful ignorance of the willingly deceived. Only then will much of what is intentionally enshrouded in mystery, resulting in confusion, prejudice, fear, hatred, and

 The Four Special Beast/Creatures of Ezekiel and Revelation     

    

      “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants, the prophets.” Amos 3 7, K.J.V.

      “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 rises in your hearts; knowing this first that no prophecy is of private interpretation [or origin], for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.”  2 Peter 1, 19, 20, N.K.J.V.

      “And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.” 1 Cor. 14: 32, 33.

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE – Part XXVIII

“ISIS, CIA AND THE VATICAN CONNECTION”

All who will stand in the last days need to pay close attention to currents events, judiciously selecting those only that are relevant to the plan of redemption and the true nature of the great controversy, both central parts of the everlasting gospel given in the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14.

Our omnipotent God chose prophecy as the last vehicle to unveil to “every nation, kindred, tongue (language), and people” (Rev. 14: 6-12) the fullest and final revelation of His perfect love, power, grace, long-suffering, mercy, justice, and supreme authority alone over all creation in heaven and earth and throughout the entire unfallen universe.

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE – Part XXV

WHAT IS THE TRUE INTERPRETATION OF REVELATION 16: 12-16?

(The Threefold Union in the Battle of Armageddon (Continued)

It’s shopping mania season, again. And nobody is complaining, “Oh no, not again!” In fact, with the introduction of e-commerce the demand is getting greater and the activities more frenetic. Nothing seems to satisfy this insatiable appetite—“the lust of the eye and lust of the flesh for the things of this world” (1 John 2: 15-17), one of the undeniable signs of the times. The giant retailers are amping the buying melee, vying for the multi-billion business. They’ve given it new names: Gray Thursday, now [sadly] AKA “Thanksgiving;” Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Sofa Sunday, and Cyber Monday. Emarketer predicts “A Happy Holiday Season Expected for Retailers.” It forecasts that “U.S. retail sales in the months of November and December 2015 will increase 5.7% year over year, reaching $ 885.70 billion.” www.emarketer.com/Articles/Happy-Holiday-Season-Expected-Retailers/1012898.

In sharp contrast, few give serious thought to the Bible forecast of the rapidly-approaching final test of every individual’s professed faith in God to be waged by the tripartite union of the prophetic “dragon, beast, and his image” before earth’s probation closes permanently.

WHAT IS THE TRUE INTERPRETATION OF REVELATION 16: 12-16? (The Threefold Union in the Battle of Armageddon (Continued) 

 French poet Charles Baudelaire once said that “the greatest trick the devil pulled was fooling the world into believing that he doesn’t exist.”  Ellen G. White revealed back in 1884 that this deception is indeed one of the most successful agencies and heresies of the great deceiver: “Another subtle and mischievous error is the fast-spreading belief that Satan has no existence as personal being; that the name is used in Scripture merely to represent men’s evil thoughts and desires.” (Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 4, p. 348).

Again: “The position that it is of no consequence what men believe is one of Satan’s most successful deceptions.  He knows that the truth, received in the love of it, sanctifies the soul of the receiver [John 17:17]; therefore he is constantly seeking to substitute false theories, fables, another gospel [1 Tim. 1: 4; 4: 7; 2 Tim. 4: 4; Titus 1: 14; 2 Pet. 1: 16; 2 Cor. 11: 4]. . . .The discord and division which exist among the churches of Christendom are in a great measure due to the prevailing custom of wresting [twisting] the Scriptures to support a favorite theory. Instead of carefully studying God’s word with humility of heart to obtain a knowledge of His will, many seek only to discover something odd or original. . . . Whenever the study of the Scriptures is entered upon without a prayerful, humble, teachable spirit, the plainest as well as the most difficult passages will be wrested from their true meaning . . .  The word of God is plain to all who study it with a prayerful heart. “Light [of truth] is sown for the righteous.’ Psalm 97: 11. And no church can advance in holiness unless its members are earnestly seeking for truth as for hid treasure [Prov. 2: 4; Matt. 13: 44].”- Ibid, Maranatha, p. 132.

Biblical Numerology: NUMBER THREE – Part XXI

The Threefold Union in the Battle of Armageddon (Continued)  

The 15-paged pamphlet,ARMAGEDDON–The Time of Spiritual Israel’s Deliverance, with listed mailing address (no printing date or copyright then), as: Louis F. Were, Box 363F, G.P.O., Melbourne, Victoria, Modern Printing Co., Ltd. Chancery Lane, Adelaide, Australia, will be quoted in full, progressively, with notes and additional observations as indicated.

For the scope and profound nature of the subjects, this pamphlet is concise and comprehensive.  It quickly answers questions which have puzzled many Bible students into either giving up further study or taking up Futurism which discards God’s system of enlargement, i.e., type-antitype,  “comparing scripture with scripture,” studying it “line upon line, here a little there a little” (Isa. 28: 9-13). The Bible, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit is its own expositor, not church teachings based on man’s philosophies and traditions. This pamphlet lays down both groundwork and springboard for expansion as we continue studying the topics in the light of the “law and testimony” (Isa. 8: 20) and pertinent historic as well as current events.
