HOW AND BY WHOM DID GOD SPEAK?

July 29, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

HOW AND BY WHOM DID GOD SPEAK?

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers [early patriarchs] by the prophets.”

Heb. 1: 1, A.V.

“As the original reads, God spoke IN [rather than by] the prophets, which suggests that God did not use these prophets as mere mechanical instruments, as one does in blowing a horn [or trumpet], but that while the Lord spoke, human lips framed the words and clothed them in human language.” Andreaaen, The Book of Hebrews, p. 45.

Another apostle states the same truth in these words: “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Pet. 1: 21 (See verses 19,20).

MT. SINAI’S TERRORS REPRESENT THE SCENES OF JUDGMENT

May 11, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

MT. SINAI’S TERRORS REPRESENT THE SCENES OF JUDGMENT

Mankind fears not what they should and fears what they should not. See Exodus chapter 19 leading to the giving of the law in chapter 20.

Instead of “fearing God and giving glory to Him for the hour of His Judgment has come,” they continue to brazenly transgress and trample upon His law by which the world, globally, is, and will be judged. Notice the relationship of Sinai and the Judgment—it is infinitely more fearful than this covid-19 pandemic:

NATURE STILL SPEAKS FOR GOD TO MAN

April 29, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

NATURE STILL SPEAKS FOR GOD TO MAN

God, who at various times and different ways is still speaking to us, thank God.  He speaks “in a still small voice.” When we pretend to be deaf, He speaks to us and to the churches in “trumpet tones,” as in “the midnight cry” and the “loud cry” of the third angel’s message.

He has been speaking to us through nature but we have not been looking and listening, distracted by so many things, especially this covid-19 pandemic.

THE GREATER CRISIS BUILDING UP IN THIS COVID-19 CRISIS

Mar 29, 2020
FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE GREATER CRISIS BUILDING UP IN THIS COVID-19 CRISIS. 

Happy first working day of this week! Time to get up from bed, pray, eat your breakfast of God’s Written Word and roll up your sleeves and get to work. Work? Yes? Whether at home or where mandated essential jobs or work places- the work described by our Savior and protective Shepherd of the flock as “work” or “occupy” yourself for the night cometh when man works no more.”’

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!

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.

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

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.
