The Cry of the Fountain
of Life
PRELUDE

God is love. Christ crucified: the hope of every man, woman, and
child’s salvation. He gave Himself for us eternally. He is not far away
but rather gently knocking on the heart doors of all sinners. He lives
today doing a twofold work of declaring us righteous in heaven and
removing the sins from His Sanctuary of humanity to restore us to His
image of perfect love. This is not a fairy tale. This is not an obscure
doctrine that someone came up with such as a lunar moon, feast-
keeping, time-setting, or a multitude of other false present “truth” or
new “light” theories out there. God forbid. It is a vision given a long
time ago by an under-appreciated prophet called Habakkuk; it is the
same old light that true followers of God have been receiving rays from
in all ages. It speaks the most clear and loud to this last generation
and people are now running to proclaim it as living epistles. How?
Two stone tables are united into one law of love by the Spirit of Christ
sealed in the heart. Jesus knocks quietly on these temple doors of His
to fill it with His presence of Sabbath rest, thus repairing the breach of
sin that has cursed us since ancient times. These same messengers of
His are being sent forth with a threefold message to now be
proclaimed loudly through His life in us (Rev. 18). It is the living
testimony of His own love as first brought to light so many years ago in
the everlasting gospel message of Revelation 14. Christ glorified:
the hope of glory. We find rest from all of our burdens in Him, others
find it in us, and then He rests satisfied in us to reveal to all creation
that God is love …

CHAPTER 1: AN URGENT INTRODUCTORY APPEAL

“Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come
unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (Jn. 7:37, 38). It is the same
cry to His people that has gone out to all generations. However, the cry is
now at the end of time reaching its loudest pitch, both because of our
desperate need in our corrupt society for healing and the new and final light
to contrast the darkest darkness that has ever existed in our universe, being
right here on Earth.
What you are reading here is a solemn message. It is also a message
of great hope, peace, and comfort, more so than any other. It is the
strongest to ever go out and is based on Sola Scriptura—the Bible and the
Bible alone. You will not know it unless you are willing to give up your
preconceived ideas and opinions and open your heart to the One who loves
and knows you so well—the Fountain of Living Waters, Jesus who gave His
very life to you if you accept it and come out of everything that prevents you
from it. Due to a culmination of events as recorded in Matthew 24 that have
been transpiring in our time, we can know that we are in the final generation
and little time is left to make our decisions.
This is not a message of apologetics. As little space as possible will be
used for contradicting the many errors that churches are bombarded with.
However, errors must be pointed out as it is a message of coming out from
the idols of the world, as recorded in Revelation 18, specifically verses 1
through 4. The main origins of this message are from the three angels in
Revelation 14:6-12, given with a loud cry by the Fourth Angel of Rev. 18:1-4
as well as the book of Habakkuk. It is hoped that the errors will be discarded
from minds, not from the motivation of good convincing arguments that
could be made against the errors, but from the unutterable beauty of the
message as a whole.
Stop reading your Bible! Instead, study it prayerfully; commune
with Jesus during and continually after sessions. Do the same with this
book, otherwise you will not comprehend the concentrated spiritual truths.
Consistently resist the temptation to skim-read as is so common in
our busy lives; it will not suffice here. Spiritual things are not about
debate and head knowledge but about eternal life! Treat them as such.
Then the strong truth you will find will not scare you away but cause your
eyes to be totally fixed on the Lord, thus the whole purpose of this message.
“For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the
LORD, as the waters cover the sea ” (Hab. 2:14). The knowledge is both
for atheists who were told of a God who is unjust, unloving, cruel, and far
away, as well as for people of the various religions and denominations who
spread such lies through multitudes of false doctrines.
This book will also not focus on prophecies but will mention them,
same with the convincing evidence of false doctrines, which are dealt with
extensively in the book entitled “Fullness of the Sabbath” via.
http://seekjesus1.com. This is to maintain a succinct nature of beauty here.
The Sabbath is central in this book as well. The focus is not on the day, nor
is the day to be deemphasized. The underlying issue of what God is
trying to tell us is to come out of and rest from all of our sins as
they hurt God, ourselves, and others clearly as seen in the unrest that
we have in our world today—terrorism, treacheries, mobs, murders, rapings,
robberies, and family fighting. Then we will find rest and satisfaction in God
and His government of perfect love and justice, and from there, God will be
able to rest from sin as He seals character in us to make us part of His
government. The full vision of this gospel of peace, eluded to in the prelude,
will tarry until the latter part of this book so that we can cover important
material beforehand to make the vision come clear and more beautiful than
anything you have ever witnessed!

CHAPTER 2: THE FULL SABBATH CRY OF THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE

The restoration of mankind is only part of the purpose of God creating

and redeeming us. The real purpose why we exist and are given this
everlasting gospel message is to vindicate His name, which is His character,
which is the basis of His government; this contrasted with the dreadfully dark
history of the turmoil of sin. The battle between good and evil has
always been between a true versus a false understanding of God’s
perfect character, and revealing it is the work of the loud cry … and
the people who bear the call, live it. This work is not just for our lowly
planet but can be viewed by the whole universe! To this grandiose purpose
is why He loves us so intensely, even when we are in sin. He sees potential
in every man, woman, and child to live for this purpose.
 Read Ex. 34:1-7. There are two tables of stone, written on them the
Ten Commandments. Moses broke them at first when he caught the
Israelites steeped into idolatry and spiritualism [the key elements of
counterfeit worship] after He had been in the holy presence of God up high in
Mount Sinai. Longsuffering Jesus gave them a second set after they
rededicated themselves to Him, notwithstanding through the false pretenses
of the Old Covenant which is self-reliance, another lesson to learn. Through
Bible history we can now look back and see the true way to keep the Ten
Commandments—by living the spirit of the law through the selfless but
satisfying Sabbath experience of God’s character and very life in us. The
Word containing the law, as revealed in the Bible, also gives us the way of
knowledge to have this experience, and when we believe it, the Spirit is
given to perform it in us. Do not think of the Word and Spirit as mystical but
rather the two transforming powers of the same refreshing source—Jesus
Christ, our ultimate Gift, the One we all must run to and run to tell others
about for eternal life of peace!
The law can be broken down into four parts, being separated twice.
Here is how. First, we have the spirit of the law and the letter of the law.
These both break down into internally and externally keeping the law. Here
is an example. Suppose a man murders a guy named Trouble who cheated
on his wife. This would be breaking the Sixth Commandment which says,
“thou shalt not kill” (Ex. 20:13). The inward spiritual part is being angry at
and hating Trouble. Remember, it is not wrong to be angry at sin to some
extent, but it is wrong to be angry with an individual. Next he threatens
Trouble in obscene language; this is the outward spiritual part. After Trouble
does not cooperate, the man loses his nerves and plans how he will act out
the murder, such as inviting Trouble to his house and poisoning his food.
The plan breaks the inward literal part of the law and the act is the outward
literal part. All four parts are sin.
“The wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord. For sin is the transgression of the law” (Rom. 6:23; I
Jn. 3:4). The death of sin is eternal because there is no life in death. Those
that repent of their sins will live and have eternal life. God will not require an
infinite life of suffering for a short life of sin; this is a Pagan doctrine that
originates from myths about Hades. We must come out of that belief and
realize that God is a loving God. “As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no
pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way
and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die?” On the
other side of the token, we must realize that God is a just God and that any
known sin unconfessed and unrepented of is an unpardonable sin because it
is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit who is prompting us to repent (see Mk.
3:28, 29). “Whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy” (Prov.
28:13). Thus, only those who keep God’s commandments will live and those
who do not will die. “Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as
the apple of thine eye. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the
table of thine heart” (Prov. 7:2, 3).
 What is our hope then? Have we not all sinned and fallen short of the
law? Yes, all have sinned; also there is no hope in changing the law. If that
were so, Jesus would not have given up His life for us in such a magnitude
that we will be studying here; also, what we know as sin would be eternal—
all hope would be lost as pain triumphs over peace. We would be immortal
and have special powers like God, but we would be evil like the devil. Is that
not the lie that the serpent told Eve? The Bible says, “the serpent said unto
the woman, ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye
eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods,
knowing good and evil” (Gen. 3:5).
The good news is that all of us mortals will die the first death, which is
a sleep (see Ps. 13:3 & Jn. 11:11, 14), except those who are living when Jesus
comes back. Read I Corinthians 15:51-58. Did you find where our hope and
victory is over death? It is in Jesus! He lived a perfect life to account for our
imperfect lives if we remain steadfast in Him. What does it mean to remain
steadfast in Him? Well, that is what this message is all about. It has to do
with consistently choosing the desires of holiness that He gives us. This will
dictate our motives followed by our words and actions. These, in turn lead to
habits, then our character, and finally our destiny.
The most deadly doctrine that exists—natural immortality—in
its various forms were originated by the Mastermind of sin to deter
us from the process of holiness to glorify God. Hence, poor mortals
have thoughts like: “there is no hope for me because every time I try to
change I can’t”; “why would I even want to change when I see nothing better
in the church than I see in the world”; “it doesn’t matter what choices I make
because I’ll still be saved or lost anyway;” “the whole God-thing is useless
because I don’t want to serve a god that does what he pleases in some far-
away place and tortures people eternally who do not fit into his little box;” “if
I profess a religion, I’ll choose one that is mystically exciting so that I can
see, hear, and touch the spiritual manifestations of the unseen.”
Thus we have atheists, agnostics, and mystics either in pure form or in
“Christian” churches in a more subtle way. Salvational doctrines such as the
second coming of Christ on Resurrection Day and the Judgment are
mystified, if not made obsolete, since it is believed that we just naturally
evolve into what we judge best for ourselves. Our whole world is deceived
and it is time for the honest and willing to come out and find rest.
Statistically speaking, most who are reading this need to come out before it
is too late! The most unholy people who are honest with themselves will be
the greatest testimony of God’s beautiful character as their “before and
after” will be most distinct.
You can read Revelation 20 on your own as it describes the details of
the first (temporary) and second (permanent) deaths in their relation to
different events in time. Here is a remarkable quote from Jesus in the next
chapter that deals directly with our discussion, clearly revealing the two
destinies: “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the
tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall
be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for
the former things are passed away... I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning
and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the
water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will
be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with
fire and brimstone: which is the second death (v. 3, 4, 6-8).
The latter group who will experience eternal death did not receive the
living waters in them. They did not behold the love and power of Jesus.
Instead, they allowed their selfish motives transpire and lead to their vile
acts which they do not see as vile because they chose to be deceived. Let
us now look at our landmark quote to set the theme for this message: “Be
astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very
desolate, saith the LORD. For my people have committed two evils;
they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, [and] hewed
them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. Thine
own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee:
know therefore and see that [it is] an evil [thing] and bitter, that thou hast
forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear [is] not in thee, saith the Lord
GOD of hosts” (Jer. 2:12, 13, 19). Be sure to read the rest of the chapter.
Do you see why this is a strong, solemn message? The Lord is
extremely deeply angry with the way we are because we offend and hurt
Him beyond measure. Yet He is so willing and ready to give us His healing
waters because He extremely deeply loves us. That is why a loud cry is to
now go out to wake all people out of their spiritual slumber. Masses put on
religion as a cloak to cover up their guilt. Broken cisterns are the idols of the
world they are running to, forbade under the Second Commandment,
oftentimes in secret. It is all rooted in covetousness, another name for
selfishness, forbade under the Tenth Commandment. Why is this all
happening? What is the solution?
The fact of the matter is that people are naturally thirsty. We are
supposed to have all our desires filled by the One who created us. We would
be happy and make others happy around us. Yet we are in the same gene
pool of Adam, and sin has traced its way through the generations, deepening
each time. Satan has intricately studied how he can control our minds as to
stir the chemicals and hormones to promote feel-good experiences that we
will crave through coveting the idols that create these experiences. These
idols are dwelt on in our minds so that our desires (lusts) and motives are
bent on honoring them, and our time and money will reflect these things.
Read I Tim. 6:6-12.
When holiness is the goal, sin will be feared, God revered, and
happiness will result. When happiness is the goal, trouble will be
feared, idols revered, and unhappiness will result. Never, NEVER
forget this! Write it down. It is the wisdom in the First Angel’s Message of
Revelation 14 that Satan does not want us to have. It includes the
knowledge of good and evil that Eve gained from its tree in the Garden of
Eden. Everyone possesses this; but it is the wisdom thus underlined that few
possess. Most people are living lives of fear, fearing that they will not
achieve happiness if such-and-such Trouble does such-and-such or prevents
such-and-such from happening. Indulgences of evil and avoidances of good
exist and only pain is the result, though they are blinded to this reality. If
only they knew Glorious Jesus who wants the best for everyone and gave His
life to make it possible. Nothing compares with the peace from the Sabbath
rest that He gives. “Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28).
It is the purpose of the loud cry message to direct people’s minds to
this rest. Liberal Christians speak lightly about God’s government and
instead focus on an empty love that has no commitment. Many Christians
who consider themselves conservative speak lightly of God’s grace and
instead focus on an empty performance-based religion with an empty faith
that has no abiding love in the heart. Both broad ditches strand people from
the narrow path that leads to heaven. Sin must be dealt with, yet God is also
crying to us to do it under His power while beholding His love! Instead of
looking merely at the outward actions, we need to get down to the heart.
Root sins lead to fruit sins. The fruit sins can be regarded as beacons of
warning but should not be the focus. Instead, root sins need to be addressed
...
Who do we love to talk about? How do we like to spend our time?
What is going on in our mind? Why do we do the things we do? What do we
crave? This will lead us to the spirit of the law, or the marriage covenant.
However, even this will not solve the problem; this just shows us our broken
cisterns—the things we are involved with to satisfy our cravings that never
really satisfy us. The next step is to go to that Fountain that has the healing
waters. Jesus knows our every thought and what we are going through. He
wants to work through our desires and our dissatisfactions alike with us. A
concurrent battle in our mind will happen—do we forsake the things that we
love which are really ruining our lives, or do we forsake Jesus who is drawing
us away from our foolishness by His infinite love?
Not only do we need to be willing to stop loving the things of the world,
but also to be willing to stop our dry religious forms of praying, church
attending, and Bible and other devotional reading while denying the Spirit of
Christ in our lives. “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall
come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without
natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers
of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more
than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power
thereof: from such turn away” (II Tim. 3:1-5).
 Instead, we need a heart-to-heart relationship with Jesus, and even this
not just in dry words without the reality of it. God will draw us to Him if we
choose Him. So that we are prepared for His kingdom, He repents us of our
sins, He covers our sins when we confess after this repentance, and He
sanctifies us to become holy. These things we cannot do of ourselves, but
we still have a part, and that is our CHOICE. If God could do that for us,
everyone would be saved; yet if this were the case, life would be utterly
worthless and empty. He gives us the gift of choice out of love, and when we
choose Him, He saves us out of love; when we choose not, He reluctantly
leaves us to eventually die to end our suffering out of love. Let us view the
following statements from the loving cry of our Lord for this the final
generation to compliment our discussion.
“Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any
man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him … And the world
passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth
for ever. Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy
mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD
cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand. And the LORD shall utter his voice before his
army: for his camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that executeth his word:
for the day of the LORD [is] great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye [even] to me with all your
heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend
your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he
[is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and
repenteth him of the evil. Thus saith the LORD; cursed [be] the man that
trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from
the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see
when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
[in] a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed [is] the man that trusteth in
the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree
planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and
shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be
careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. The
heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know
it? I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man
according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.” Let this be
your prayer: “O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be
ashamed, [and] they that depart from me shall be written in the
earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living
waters. Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall
be saved: for thou [art] my praise” (I Jn. 2:15, 17; Joel 2:1, 11-13; Jer.
17:5-10, 13, 14).
Unless you come to the Refreshing Fountain of Rest, friend, you are
condemned under the law. That is not God’s plan for you though. He offers
you life. Everyone that has reached the age of accountability is married to
the man of sin after their first sinful thought. “The thought of foolishness [is]
sin” (Prov. 24:9). The man of sin is Satan in man. Satan attracts us to idols
and when we covet them we are in his possession by choice. The law binds
us to him. When we choose Jesus, He possesses our minds and we think and
do the things of his law. Instead of being under the law we are now under
grace—God’s grace to forgive us of our past sins and to enable us to keep
the law. Now the same law that condemned us to death declares us
righteous and binds us to Christ our new spiritual Husband, all because of His
perfect life given for us. This is the everlasting marriage covenant, which is
righteousness by faith. We rest, or abstain, from our lusts; we crucify the
flesh and cleave unto another man, Christ. This is a daily baptismal
experience that is all detailed for you to read in Romans 6 to 8.
The Fourth Commandment outlines our choice of who will rule our life
—God the Father and God the Son—or Satan and self. Will we rest from
God’s pleadings to rescue us from sin and death or from Satan’s pleadings to
rescue us from a cruel god with a grueling religion that he paints the Word of
God to be? God’s authority is given in this, the longest commandment. It
contains His threefold seal. Read Exodus 20:11. “The Lord” is His name,
“made,” [entailing His creatorship] is His title, and His territory entails
everything that exists: “heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is.”
Notice that this same quote is in the First Angel’s Message (Rev. 14:7).
Satan has supposed authority too, but he hides it except to his Satanist
initiates who run the world in secret. Instead, he attracts us to ourselves and
idols of pleasure. It is our choice who we serve, but we must realize that
serving self is serving Satan and that it will ALWAYS appear attractive unless
we surrender whatever we are struggling with to Christ and let Him rein
instead. Tell God all about your emotions in intimacy with Him, claim His
promises of the Bible, and He will repair you. No one else can, and relying
on or esteeming self will only distance you from the healing waters of God.
Most relationships today end up broken and immense emotional pain
results. It is because they are sought for intimacy, pleasure, worth, or
control. God is forsaken, yet only He sees each of us as having infinite value
as He gave His life for us. He is to be in control of our lives because He
knows what is best and not us; then we become truly satisfied and our
emotions tend to be brighter and we cease to fear various circumstances in
our lives that we perceive as threatening.
Most people are sad, lonely, depressed, empty, and anxious, thinking
this is just how things are and try to undo or ignore the pain by turning to
people, places, objects, experiences, or ideas. When anything comes
between these things, they fear it and try to tear down what it is. Perhaps
you are in the majority. Some of the most seemingly religious people are
included as they debate, gossip, and tear others down to esteem self. Let us
come out of these things and return to our Creator! He has a rightful claim
over our lives—to our every thought, every moment, and every experience.
The broken cisterns cannot satisfy the deep longings. Entertainment is the
broad category that most broken cisterns fall under. Satan “enters” in to
con-“tain” or possess the mind while all spiritual influences are forgotten.
Sports, politics, drama, and harmful substances are the most common and
originate from Greek Paganism. These things slowly destroy God’s most
dearly purchased possession, each one individual He died for to save. It is
dreadfully common in these last days. We must come out!
Everyone who chooses God’s government, outlined in His law, receives
the Sabbath seal. They keep the seventh day holy when they learn of it and
reveal in their words and actions that their mind was stamped with God’s
holiness; that they love to please Him and commune with Him. The forehead
is the temporal lobe of the mind where decisions are made in faith through
God’s grace, while the hands are where actions are taken. The counterfeit to
this is the mark of the beast as you can read in the Third Angel’s Message
and elsewhere in the book of Revelation. He either gets a person through a
religion of legalism [looking to the works of your own hands to save you] or
through liberalism [having a blind faith in mind of a god that does not require
obedience]. However, God requires both faith and works. You can read it
James 2: 12-26. Just remember, your part is choosing the motives and
desires of faith in God that He gives you; and if there are not holy actions,
you have things in your life that you need to surrender to God that are
diminishing your faith.
Here is the royal law. “And thou shalt love the LORD thy God
with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these
words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt
teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou
sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou
liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign
upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes”
(Deut. 6:5-8). Loving God in all of our desires will fulfill the whole law; this is
done in the heart, which is in our mind. Then, outward actions, especially
keeping the Sabbath literally, will be a sign that we have the inward
experience. We will also love our neighbor as ourselves because we
perceive the love that Christ gave in His sacrifice to mankind which He would
have done for just one individual. Keeping the Sabbath spiritually—choosing
to serve God—will enable Him to sanctify us as we also keep the day
communing with and beholding Him—the object of our love, the center of
everything in our lives.
Do not be discouraged, yet do not delay, if this is not you. It takes
time to build this relationship with Him and He will understand when you fall
short as long as you strive to choose Him and not the world. Even when you
cease striving, God will lovingly continue to strive with you, to awaken you to
life before it is too late. If you have desires to seek and follow Him, which is
obviously why you are reading this, then it is not too late. If they are small
ones, then pray for more, and He will answer. It takes effort to make choices
because the prevailing temptations are so strong. Sometimes we may
become forgetful of spiritual matters; but rather than giving up and listening
to Satan accusing us when we fail, we need to claim the precious blood of
Jesus and take our failings as fearful education of what happens when we
leave God, even for a short time, and how to not repeat the disasters.
Watch how sign and seal are synonymous. In Romans 4:11 appears,
“the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith.”
Circumcision, part of the ceremonial law [which, like the old civil laws, is
done away with because of Christ’s sacrifice] is like the Sabbath in that it is a
sign, or seal, of righteousness by faith; also of purity and loyalty to God.
Therefore, we can use the words sign and seal interchangeably. Let us look
at some Scripture showing that the Sabbath is the seal of God’s character
and authority in that He redeems us [through sanctification] as He has also
created (made) us. “Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign
between me and you throughout your generations; that [ye] may know that I
[am] the LORD that doth sanctify you. It [is] a sign between me and the
children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth,
and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed” (Ex. 31:13, 17). See
also Ezekiel 20:12, 20. Keep in mind that if you are resting in Christ, then
you are part of ancient Israel, as you receive the ancient promises through
His precious blood.
To learn more about the spiritual Sabbath on a biblical basis, read
Isaiah 58 and Hebrews 3 and 4, which are commented on at length in the
“Fullness of the Sabbath” book. Here is a quote from Isaiah 58: “not doing
thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own
words; then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD” (v. 13, 14). Earlier in the
chapter it also shows how it includes relieving others of their burdens
through the spiritual fast of the Sabbath experience. Hebrews brings out
how we are to rest in the Lord from our unbelief before it is too late and how
it is a labor (effort) to fight against unholy thoughts and intents (motives) so
we can have that rest. Yet, Jesus as His Spirit, as High Priest, and as Lamb,
gives us all the power we need to have this rest and the final rest in heaven.
Since the mark of the beast involves not buying or selling (see Rev.
13:17), the issue of who we choose to serve in the Spiritual Sabbath will
become more literal in the months ahead. Sunday laws will become
enforced so that if you do not keep Sunday, not buying or selling on that day,
and rather keep the seventh day, then you will not be able to buy or sell any
day of the week under the new monetary system. To compound the issue,
jobs will likely be under governments rather than private industries and you
will lose the job, and thus have no currency to buy or sell, if you refuse to
work on Saturday. Slavery is mentioned both in Revelation 13:16 and 18:13
and it is unlikely that it will be the kind of private slavery we have had in the
past. You must always keep in mind, this: God will always provide as you
obey Him.
The Third Angel’s Message indicates that those who receive the final
mark of the beast will experience the seven last plagues whereas, in verse
12 (Rev. 14), “here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” We see again the principle
of righteousness by faith, which we will continue looking at. Also in 14:1 we
read about those who have the “Father’s name written in their foreheads.”
Recall from before that God’s name is indicative of His character, which is
the moral law, which we fulfill by the Sabbath choice of seeking Jesus first in
our lives before our own desires. If the Sunday laws have not already passed
when you read this, “choose you this day whom ye will serve” (Josh. 24:15);
it cannot be both man and God when they conflict.
Since we have opened a bag of worms on the biblical day of worship
and may have alarmed you, let us look at some of the origins—they are so
plain that you will have a rock solid foundation for your faith to go by after
studying. As for the true Sabbath Day, the Bible is plain that it is the seventh
day of the week (Gen. 2:3; Ex. 20:8-11); and since evolution does not exist
due to the infinite creative power of our God, creation week is literal and the
same seven-day-week has repeated over and over again hundreds of
thousands of times with each new day beginning in the evening. Think about
it: not one Sabbath Day in all the years of humanity was forgotten by some
portion of earth’s inhabitants, those who obeyed God’s command as a sign of
their allegiance to His authority being their Creator and Redeemer. The
calendars have changed several times but these are obviously not
dependent on the weekly cycle.
What is much more fascinating is to look at what is behind Sunday, the
first day of the week. The first day is mentioned several times in the Bible
but nowhere is a command to keep it holy. Therefore, our search will take us
on a broad discovery which will unlock new understandings of the cosmic
conflict between good and evil. Fasten up as we study the mystery of
iniquity (see II Thess. 2). This will lay the groundwork to study the grandest
truth of all—the mystery of godliness—Christ in us, the focus of our attention
in this book, and the basis of the loud cry to humanity to be restored into
God’s image. We must drink from the Great Fountain of Jesus to become a
miniature fountain ourselves to others. When He sheds His rays of light in
us, He will see a perfect image of Himself reflected back and others will see
it too. Speaking in plain language, we must behold His wonderful love and
surrender all to receive this life preserving principle produced by God alone.

CHAPTER 3: ANCIENT ORIGINS OF THE 666 MYSTERY OF INIQUITY

Recall the wisdom that we brought out earlier that Satan hides us
from. This is the issue we now return to. What he is trying to do is retain his
image in us so that we do not attain God’s image! Realize that the image is
what identifies us, our character. All people fit into two groups—two
religions. They are either identified with Satan or with God. Our thoughts
and actions reveal which side we are on. The religions of the world are
names only and both of the real religions have adherents in all of the named
religions. Keep in mind, God judges people on what they know, even if it is
really little, not on what they do not know. Yet, it is true that in these last
days everyone will be revealed the full knowledge of truth (see Rev. 14:6,
18:1, & Hab. 2:14). The great question is whether we will be lightened by
running with it or darkened by running from it.
Jesus is the Light of the world (read John 1:1-14 & I John 1:4-7). It is His
glory, His character, the image of who He is, which is love. Every act of God
is love, but what is love? “For this is the love of God, that we keep his
commandments: and his commandments are not grievous” (I Jn. 5:3). It is
giving of oneself for the good of others as clearly defined in the same
old Ten Commandments. Is that not what God is doing for us? He gives
us the permanent sacrifice of Jesus, free choice to choose Him for our
Saviour, more than sufficient probation to accept His government of love, full
grace to receive it, the complete written Word to reveal the way to receive
His grace [especially in the life of Christ on earth], the family and other
relationships to demonstrate His love, much heart pain and endurance for us,
and many other things.
Read I John 4 for a clear demonstration of these things. The mystery
of iniquity, which John calls “the spirit of error,” is defined as the spirit
of Satan in human flesh, in the place of and opposed to [Greek
meaning for “anti”] Christ. “And now I beseech thee … [Church] … not as
though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from
the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk after
his commandments. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from
the beginning, ye should walk in it. For many deceivers are entered into the
world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a
deceiver and an antichrist” (II Jn. 1:5-7). Of course the incarnation of Jesus
and His life in Person that followed is included, but there is a deeper and
more important meaning of it—Christ [through His Word and Spirit] in us, the
purpose of the whole work of redemption.
Inspired John reveals the following regarding the controversy of God’s
character: “For sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was
manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in
him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is
righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for
the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born
of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot
sin, because he is born of God” (I Jn. 3:4-9). Those who teach that we cannot
keep His commandments and that when we knowingly break them we can
still be justified as righteous are of the spirit of error, or the antichrist. The
Spirit of Truth is Christ in us since He is the Truth. When this as our
experience, we know God; the moment we forget God in our selfish pursuits,
we leave this experience and sin. Knowing Him is an experience of His love,
not a mental belief. When love is perfected in us, we wisely will not fear
problems because we pursue holiness instead of happiness and receive full
joy (again see I Jn. 1:4).
 What is interesting is that the occultists who run the world and want a
“new” age to come professedly believe some of what we are discussing. On
the surface it sounds the same: Christ in you. However, they believe that a
Jesus is inherently in us already and to receive his mystical power we just
need to look within—how far from the truth! Therefore, the second coming
of Christ would be a spiritual experience rather than literal since He is not
God but us. Listen to the Bible instead: “The fool hath said in his heart,
[there is] no God” … And regarding these fools that look within themselves
for good, God says … “they are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
[there is] none that doeth good” (Ps. 14:1). The occult can be defined as
using words of light to describe a dark experience without the real
Jesus. Death becomes life and life becomes death as people are intoxicated
with the wines of spiritualism.
The occult principle of opposites remains the same in all non-
biblical religion as well as in individuals that profess to keep the Ten
Commandments. It is behind both legalism [many who boast to call
themselves conservatives] and liberalism, as we will see a bit later from the
Bible. The former say that in order to be saved you “just do what you are
told” whereas the latter say that you “just believe.” Both groups have the
counterfeit spiritual sabbath mark, the image of Satan. Instead of love, there
is selfishness. Instead of giving of yourself for others, you expect others to
give to you so you can get the highest place. It is the survival of the fittest
and only creates turmoil! We need to be wise to see this by fearing God so
that His image of true peace and love is in us. Anyone without Jesus is of the
occult, but much less so for atheists because they are not living a lie! These
poor souls are atheists because of the misrepresentations of God’s character
both in doctrine and in the lives of believers.
The trick of the whole matter is that the occult—whether in its pure
form of Satanism or in its watered down form in the world religions [including
false Christianity]—will use beautiful words such as peace and love. This is
only an attractant, the same tactic Satan always uses to encase error. “For
from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one [is] given to
covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth
falsely. They have healed also the hurt [of the daughter] of my people
slightly, saying, peace, peace; when [there is] no peace” (Jer. 6:13, 14).
These words mean nothing without a Sabbath experience with the True Jesus
of the Bible to stamp God’s law of love in us; without such, there is no lasting
peace, only brief empty emotional highs and ultimately death. Christian
terminology may be much used, but a false gospel that teaches that
obedience to God is optional is pure deception and originates from the
occult. But where does the occult originate from?
Long before this earth was created, Lucifer was a beautiful perfect
angel. This did not last, however. Here is the written record: “How art thou
fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [How] art thou cut down to
the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine
heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I
will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High” (Is.
14:12-14).
God had given Lucifer a free choice to serve Him as He gives all of His
creatures. However, this freedom was abused and a new freedom, a new
government, a new universal order was proposed. A new age of sin entered
the universe. It all started with coveting something that was not his: to “be
like the most High”—to have Christ’s power and position. In other words,
Lucifer did not want God in him but instead wanted to be his own god; thus
the image he impregnated the whole human race with after Eve sinned and
had children that followed course. Thus, we are all born with a sinful
propensity and need the real Christ as our Saviour from sin. All nature, as it
is now in a sinful state, will never evolve to become better without His
miraculous creative power to transform. Mutations, a result of sin, can only
deteriorate an organism over time; instead of complex and useful
physiology, destruction will inevitably occur.
You see, the occultists say that we can become a christ and evolve to
do so with each re-“incarnation” being a higher status, but it is a false or
anti-christ, who is really Satan, in us—and they know this! However, they do
not tell this to the massive crowds who adhere to the world religions as
created by these initiates working directly through Satan. Instead, the
masses believe truth mixed with error which leads them to believe they can
become their own gods in action—do whatever they want under their own
kind of religion—just not in words. The eastern religions come closest to the
pure Satanist religion in word and in practice while the western ones of
Protestant Christianity are the furthest, which can be more deadly as the
truth-to-error ratio increases adding to the deception. Therefore,
pragmaticism, which is so much prevalent in both religious and
secular society today, puts a twist on evolution and teaches that we
ourselves have the ability to transform into whatever we want to
be; therefore, no absolute truth exists and what works for one
individual to believe or practice may not work for another—all under
various terms such as human rights, solidarity, social justice
(socialism), and self esteem. So, how does all this relate to Sunday? In
order to see the connections fully, we must unravel some false theology on
the Godhead which we hope will become less common than its universal
nature at this time among those who know of the Sabbath. Let us look at the
issue in general and later more literally, just as we are doing with the true
versus counterfeit Sabbath.
Recall that Satan wanted the highest place; he wanted to be infinite.
Unlike John the Baptist, he coveted the position of the Jesus [recall our text
from I John 1]; in fact, he wanted to be the True Light himself! This was the
idol of His heart in that he could have infinite powers and also receive praise
and worship from the rest of creation. Thus, we have the essence of the
counterfeit godhead—self, idols, and Satan—who wants to be the God
of Light—a position he could never attain. His anger became so intense that
he started hating the government of God, believing that it was unjust
because of the rigid restrictions. Thus, he lost the wisdom that he once had:
believing that God’s way promotes the most happiness and the restrictive
boundaries only promote peace. Through selfishly coveting an idol in the
heart (2nd and 10th commandments), he lost the Sabbath rest and inwardly
broke every other commandment as a result [recall the four parts of the
law]. This is the root that leads into every fruit (outward) sin! God reveals
this as it is a principle for every person who wants to reach the heavenly
Canaan. Regarding ancient Isreal, He says, “Yet also I lifted up my hand
unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I
had given [them], flowing with milk and honey, which [is] the glory of all
lands; because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes,
but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols (Ezek.
20:15, 16).
Sin, once started, only spreads. God could have blotted Satan out
before it spread; however, that would have led creatures to serve God out of
fear rather than love and the same sin process would have likely been
repeated down the line due to the lack of love. No one would have free
choice which would be no love at all since true love is never forced.
Therefore, God allowed sin to spread to not just reveal to the universe how
terrible sin is but also to reveal His infinite love of redeeming a remnant of
mankind on this earth. Without this contrast of good and evil, God’s amazing
love could never be fully revealed. The loud cry of this love to this
generation is the strongest revelation of it ever, thus the name of the
treasured book of the Bible for this time. Since this loud cry is so plain to
everyone who will live, death and sin will never return once justice has taken
its course.
“The soul that sinneth, it shall die. But if the wicked will turn from all
his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which
is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. That as sin hath
reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto
eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. What then? Shall we sin, because we are
not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom
ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey;
whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” “And the
sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the
dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to
their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was
cast into the lake of fire” (Ezek. 18: 20, 21; Rom. 5:21, 6:15, 16; Rev. 20:13-
15). You see, being under the condemnation of the law is only death. God
created death as a gift so that sin would not be immortalized.
One third of the angels of heaven fell into believing Satan’s claim that
God is unjust (Rev. 12:3, 4). The new universal order of sin, under the
pretense of freedom and peace, just brought the opposite. Fortunately, two-
thirds of the angels chose to keep the Sabbath—surrendering to God’s
sovereign government of peaceful rest. As always happens with the spiritual
Sabbath-keepers, these ones were able to abide in God’s awesome
presence; the Sabbath-breakers, on the other hand, had to flee from God’s
presence in order to live as it is a consuming fire to sin. “Take heed unto
yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he
made with you, and make you a graven image, [or] the likeness of any
[thing], which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee. For the LORD thy God
[is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God. Wherefore we receiving a
kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve
God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: for our God [is] a consuming
fire” (Deut. 4:23, 24; Heb. 12:28, 29).
Recall from before the everlasting marriage covenant with Jesus: it is
simply accepting God’s government based on His law as it stands so that His
presence can dwell in us. He will then consume the sins out of us with fire—
which is really His blood, His life and death, in the place of ours—and relieve
our suffering with His living waters to preserve our lives eternally for Him!
Stop running from this fire; it will not kill you unless you wait too long!
Having idols in the place of Jesus will only bring Satan’s spirit in us. Stay in
the wisdom that Satan lost and Jesus gives, remembering that fearing that
we will not get our own way [through coveting idols] will only destroy our joy
of life. Review this passage of Scripture: “If thou turn away thy foot from
[trampling] the sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call
the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour
him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking
[thine own] words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will
cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth” (Is. 58:13, 14).
The Sabbath Day was given to us as a gift to keep us in the Sabbath
experience as God foreknew that we would fall into sin by forgetting the
experience. Satan realized this and counterfeited the godhead and Sabbath
experience which are essentially the same in their roots: coveting idols to
receive his spirit of rebellion. We have studied this, but let us see how he
also counterfeited the Sabbath Day using the same principles. As human
generations degenerated into deeper sin, large groups of people departed
from God’s Sabbath-keeping religion of love.
Society became so perverse that God had to put it in check through a
worldwide flood [symbolic of the living water which also purifies from sin]
(Gen. 7). The cause was from mixing God’s people with Pagan people and
their idols and also amalgamating animals with each other and humans.
Genetic engineering and other technology was likely advanced back like
today due to the vitality and longevity of humans [hundreds of years]. When
the mixing of that which is holy and that which is not occurs, humanity
always is either deteriorated or destroyed, thus Satan’s objective of his
mystery of iniquity in desolating Christ’s Bride. Dinosaurs were formed
through genetic engineering and hence were not allowed onto Noah’s Ark to
become extinct like the humans except for the eight remaining. Life from
before the Flood [including giants] remains only in strata of fossils as certain
life forms died before others and sank to lower layers. Carbon dating and
other methods cannot even capture what happened accurately as processes
of decay were so rapidly changed by the unimaginable power of the Flood
brought on due to depraved humanity.
After the Flood, Nimrod [“the rebellious one”], the grandson of Noah,
became the first human king of the Earth and ushered in the continual
presence of Paganism to plague the earth with spiritualism. Under his
direction, the Tower of Babel started to be built (Gen. 11) as the mystery of
iniquity resumed; however, God prevented its completion through
confounding their languages into the roots of those that exist today since He
hated the wicked city and the spirit behind it. The name “Babel” signifies
the confusion that results when man tries to build his way up to God through
his own efforts, which is, again, the mystery of iniquity. “MYSTERY,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” (Rev. 17:5). The people did not trust
God’s promise that no more universal floods would occur, thus they thought
a tower would protect them. A large metropolis—Babylon—was built around
the city to be the capitol of the new world government of Paganism to usher
a new age of human arrogance. Again, history repeats itself. “The thing that
hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done [is] that which
shall be done: and [there is] no new [thing] under the sun” (Eccl. 1:9).
Babylon is thus used in Revelation to denote religio-political governments
that substitute for God’s sovereign one and it is an abomination to Him with
only desolation [destruction due to the absence of His presence] as a result.
We will trace Babylon down through prophetic time until we arrive at the
final onslaught of near-future world government, thus revealing the mystery.
The Pagan governments—Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome as
symbolized in Daniel 2, 7, and 8 three different ways—have all been rooted
in the religion of Satanism. They have been engulfed with idols connected to
various spiritualistic rituals. Idolatry is spiritual adultery. When Christ is not
the center of the heart, idols are there, thus leading to spiritualism—Satan
possessing the heart. Again, it is the same counterfeit Sabbath
experience, but we see it most literally in the Pagan societies, even in their
societies which are more secret today [the initiates of all major religions].
Human sacrifices are made to the idols to mock the sacrifice of Christ.
Everything is all under the guise of the sun. Why? Because Satan has
always coveted to be the Light that Christ is. When humans submit to the
counterfeit spiritual Sabbath, instead of the Spirit of Christ in us, the spirit of
Satan enters in through His agents of the fallen angels; instead of Christ
being our mediator in heaven between us and God the Father, a multitude of
idols intercede between us and the sun that represents Satan. In other
words, the multitudes of fallen angels study each human’s personality, line
up idols to be coveted after unique to the individual, and when the choice is
made to covet [detected perhaps by a slight change of deportment that
occurs after the Spirit of Christ is grieved] they possess the individual with
the selfish motives of Satan.
 The light that proceeds from Satan is only imaginary, trickery,
deception—though it appears not as such, it is actual darkness! Satan has
no true light in him but only counterfeits. Let us see what the true apostle
Paul wrote regarding this spiritualism [spiritual adultery] under the
inspiration of God. “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have
espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to
Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his
subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in
Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not
preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or
another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into
the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into
an angel of light. Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according
to their works” (II Cor. 11:2-4, 13-15).
Friend, God is jealous for your heart! He is compassionately crying out
to you to come out of the mystery of iniquity as you now learn of His wisdom.
He loves you too much to let go of you because you belong to Him in an
intimate and infinite way since He gave His eternal life for you, and to you if
you accept it. You have the choice to let go of Him for a substitute of broken
cisterns which cannot satisfy the deep heart longings of something better
than this world offers. It does not matter, whether in the religious or secular
world, what kind of bright words of light are used to describe things, or who
might be involved in persuading you into a different gospel of a different
Jesus; if it does not align with the unfailing, yet unpopular, Word of God, it is
a deception to kill you. Angels of darkness will appear as light (righteous)
either as themselves or in humans. Also, do not be duped into believing that
Christ or people who are dead, such as apostles, will be around to give us
messages.
We know that the Bible teaches the non-immortality of the soul and
also that every eye will see Christ come in the clouds, not on this earth (see I
Thess. 4:13-18). Never forget this, otherwise you may be deceived. “For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against
powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high [places]” (Eph. 6:12 … read later verses for your full
protection). Unfallen angels on the other hand, who voluntarily leave the
presence of God to come to our incredibly dark world, are also by our side to
help us in this cosmic war because they have the unselfish light of love—the
same ingredient we must have so that they can help us. It is received by
resting in Christ alone.
The symbol of the sun is seen in all of the world religions, and when
you know the occult language, you realize that what you see is the opposite
of what exists since it is meant to deceive the multitudes of sheep who are
held captive to the various religions. Therefore, the earthly sun is used to
represent the darkness of Satanism. The fact that humans prize
gold so much and have anciently used it to make idols with, reflects
the color of the sun! Darkness is favored over light, though it is
comprehended as opposite. However, this earthly gold is only the
counterfeit of the heavenly which represents the faith and love of
Christ we receive through our only hope—resting in Him from our
own selfish works; then He will be glorified and not Satan. Christ
will be in us, the hope of glory, as we will see in perfect portrayal as
we discover the vision of the loud cry of Jesus later in the book.
Though the sun symbol is not always in symbol or color, it is
universally in doctrine, namely these: the counterfeit sabbath,
spiritual and literal; the counterfeit godhead of spiritualism; and,
the immortality of the soul. These are nearly the same and describe
the mystery of iniquity: coveting idol lifestyle practices and
doctrines that do not include resting from sin while unknowingly
Satan possesses us; yet we think that we have infinite control over
everything.
Jesus weeps infinite tears of mercy as He cries loud for us to
come to Him! He is poured out like water. His Elijah messengers
similarly make the cry as an effort to heal willing people’s hearts
together with the God of Restful Peace. “And this is the condemnation,
that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light,
neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that
doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that
they are wrought in God. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not. Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed
innocent blood: their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity; wasting and
destruction [are] in their paths. The way of peace they know not; and [there
is] no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths:
whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. Therefore is judgment far
from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold
obscurity; for brightness, [but] we walk in darkness. We grope for the wall
like the blind, and we grope as if [we had] no eyes: we stumble at noon day
as in the night; [we are] in desolate places as dead [men]. Hear ye, and give
ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. Give glory to the LORD your
God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark
mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death,
[and] make [it] gross darkness. But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall
weep in secret places for [your] pride; and mine eye shall weep
sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried
away captive. I am poured out like water… For dogs have compassed
me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my
hands and my feet” (Jn. 3:19-21; 1:5; Is. 59:7-10; Jer. 13:15-17; Ps. 22:14-
16).
However, His weeping of mercy will not last much longer.
When probation closes, the wicked will give out a loud cry, knowing
that the plagues of wrath communicated their fate of desolation for
following the wrong light—the earthly sun instead of the Sun of
Righteousness who has the healing of rest in His wings. “And their
faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east … Is
it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations
which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence, and
have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their
nose. Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I
have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, [yet] will I not
hear them” (Ezek. 8:16-18). “For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as
an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:
and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it
shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name
shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings … And ye
shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your
feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith the LORD of hosts … Behold, I will
send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day
of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and
the heart of the children to their fathers” (Mal. 4:1-6).
Throughout Pagan societies, the day of the sun is when rituals of
spiritualism to dedicate the people to the pagan gods of themselves are
performed. Often the arts are involved to make the multitudes under the
religion’s initiates think that the gods of the idols are actually real; this has
trickled down to Romanism, even modern. The day is named after the
primary god, the sun god, often referred to as Baal in the Bible. “And Elijah
came unto all the people, and said, how long halt ye between two opinions?
if the LORD [be] God, follow him: but if Baal, [then] follow him. And the
people answered him not a word” (I Kings 18:21). The spiritualist initiates,
who want their new age of control, see this god as a force within themselves
which can be interchangeably good or evil. The unenlightened Pagan tribes
believe that the many gods exist. What none of them realize is that Satan is
a literal being and is always evil only appearing as good, just as Satan’s
agents around the world use this system called the occult to deceive the
masses into making good appear evil and evil appear good. This is also what
is behind all hypocrisy, thus why Jesus vehemently condemns it.
He cries: “Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is
hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither
hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in
darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the
ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. Woe unto you, scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which
indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones,
and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto
men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity” (Luke 12:1-3; Matt.
23:17, 28).
 Just as the legalist Pharisees who may call themselves conservatives
are hypocrites, so are the much larger group of worldly liberals who speak of
an easy free grace gospel on the outside but are inside vile toward others
and always troubled themselves: “The vile person shall be no more called
liberal, nor the churl said [to be] bountiful. For the vile person will speak
villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter
error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will
cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. The instruments also of the churl [are]
evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even
when the needy speaketh right. But the liberal deviseth liberal things;
and by liberal things shall he stand. Rise up, ye women that are at ease;
hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech. Many days
and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail,
the gathering shall not come. Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be
troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird
[sackcloth] upon [your] loins” (Is. 32:5-11). They profess the liberal free
grace of Christ but are not liberal toward others who are thirsty and need the
water of life because they do not have a liberal supply of the water
themselves! Are they really liberal then? They are playing the harlotry of
Babylon—spiritual adultery, the idolatry of spiritualism. Grace is not free for
Christ but just the infinite opposite; nor is it free for us as we must also die to
self.
To both groups, Jesus cries: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and
good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put
bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto [them that are] wise in their
own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto [them that are] mighty
to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: which justify the
wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from
him” (Is. 5:20-23)! A fitting name for the occult deception is the wine of
Babylon, as given in the second angel’s message in Revelation 14 and it is
the reason Babylon is fallen. We can see it everywhere in the media whether
it is food, clothing, or various idols.
The idols in the Pagan religion represent the 36 lesser gods which the
Satanist insiders use to represent the forces of the various personalities of
humanity in art form, while they teach the unenlightened masses to believe
that they are literal evil gods that are angry with them and thus they have to
appease the gods lest they perish. Do you see the connection with
counterfeit Christianity based on the false doctrines we have been studying
—a god of hate instead of a God of love, and earning your way to appease
his eternal wrath? What the Satanists do not realize is that the 36 figures
represent the multitudes of demons and idols used to unite diverse man with
Satan to be possessed based on their personality types. Again, we see the
picture of the counterfeit godhead of spiritualism—Satan, idols, and self.
The amulet of ancient Paganism was believed to have mystical powers
and contains the numbers of 1 to 36 on a six-by-six square, as revealed by
the artifacts. It was painted gold to make a sun seal, or “Sigilla Solis,” as
they perceived the sun to be the center of 36 constellations, with an image
of the sun god on the reverse side of a mathematical chart. Each number
adds up to 666, the number of the beast of Babylon (see Rev. 13:18); and
each of the six rows vertically and horizontally, as well as the two diagonals,
add up to the same number of 111—these three ones make up the units of
the counterfeit godhead! Above the chart is the word “Nachyel,” meaning
“intelligence of the sun.” In light of what we are studying, friend, this could
very well represent the knowledge of good and evil—the mystery of iniquity
—in occult language.
Though manipulated written history denies the fact, popes used to be
crowned with the official title of Vicarius Filii Dei, which means “in place of
the Son of God.” Amulets stamped with this name were also worn. This
name has been used for the pope historically, though rarely, if ever, today as
Protestants discovered its relation to 666 and Catholics tried to then hide it.
We do have a Catholic documentation of it from the April 18, 1915 issue of
Our Sunday Visitor: “The letters inscribed in the pope’s mitre are these:
‘VICARIUS FILII DEI,’ which is Latin for Vicar of the Son of God.” Many other
records exist. The Roman Numerals are as follows: V=5, I=1, C=100, A=0,
R=0, I=1, U=V=5, S=0, F=0, I=1, L=50, I=1, I=1, D=500, E=0, and I=1.
Added up, it is 666.
This beast is the fourth kingdom in Daniel. As the government of
Rome transferred its religion from Paganism to Christianity, it became the
first (in succession) and main beast of Revelation. The principles of the
occult stayed the same except that Christian terminology was used to
describe it. The day of worship also stayed the same—Sunday. It was
justified by the fact that the first day of the week happened to be when Jesus
was resurrected. This was only the case, however, since He was to rest in
the grave on the real Sabbath and immediately be resurrected afterwards.
Besides, no correlation exists in the Bible between Christ’s resurrection and
the Sabbath in the first place. His second coming has a correlation, however,
and that is when the seventh millennial Sabbath will begin—a time which is
so very soon. The reason why Satan chose the first day as his own worship
day in the first place is because light was created on that day and he wanted
to be the light of the world.
Please do not criticize the Catholic people—they are honest with what
they believe—nor criticize the “Protestants” that accept her mark of
authority, the Sunday sabbath. Christians belong to these churches and are
practicing the faith of the Bible to the best of the knowledge that God has
given them. Yet, this will not always be the case—the light of the true gospel
must go out to everyone to call us out of Babylon and its wine of spiritualism.
We are only to protest Babylonian thinking which has existed since the
origins of sin, not people. This thinking has led the Rome to remove the
Second commandment of idolatry, split the Tenth commandment into two
parts [which is impossible when you compare Exodus 20:17 and
Deuteronomy 5:21], and think to change the Sabbath day from the seventh
day of the week to the first. These are the three longest commandments
and also the very ones we have been discussing as behind the spiritualism:
coveting idols instead of resting in Jesus thinking that we can make our own
rules of religion. Images, prayers to people not living, and intercessors other
than Jesus is why this religion chose to take out the second commandment.
As for the fourth commandment, Rome openly admits that Sunday is the
mark of her authority that she believes God has given her: “Sunday is our
mark of authority ... The church is above the Bible, and this transference of
sabbath observance is proof of that fact" (The Catholic Record, London,
Ontario, September 1, 1923). For many more of such honest statements
from Rome’s own sources, visit the following link:
http://www.benabraham.com/html/rome_s_challenge.html. If we put
tradition above the Bible, friend, how do we know which traditions are
correct since many claim to be?
The Bible prophesied accurately of this religio-political power. Before
we revisit the godhead issue, let us look at some prophecies in an
abbreviated matter (unlike the book Fullness of the Sabbath) to lead us up to
the climax of the counterfeit system represented by the final 666 onslaught.
Keep in mind that as we study, the real controversy is the character of God—
which, by its very nature of love, He wants to seal in us through our spiritual
Sabbath relationship with Him. Do not lose this central theme! We have the
choice to either follow His explicit commands that are in His Word or trust in
false prophets of another god, Satan the dragon, the original false prophet.
Rome teaches that she was instructed by God to change the Christian faith,
whereas the true Protestants [not those who promote Rome’s mark of
authority] believe in the unchanging Bible except where Jesus Himself
explicitly indicated a change, namely the ceremonial law being fulfilled at His
death as we will see later. Hear the Word speak for itself: “The fourth beast
shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all
kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and
break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings
[that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse
from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak [great]
words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High,
and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his
hand until a time and times and the dividing of time” (Dan. 7:23-25). Let us
quickly analyze this text as we enter into prophecy.
The following is an antichrist: an individual or party of any faith who
professes a christ but have the power of the dragon in them, who is the
origin of this spirit of self exaltation to the level of a god. Rome’s system of
leaders most literally applies, thus signified as Antichrist. Here is another
text to support this in the context of the mystery of iniquity. “Let no man
deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come
a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself
that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you
these things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed
in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who
now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that
Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his
mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: [Even him],
whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and
lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be
saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the
truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Who is a liar but he that denieth
that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [(but) he that
acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also].” (II Thess. 2:3-12; I Jn. 2:22).
The counterfeit Godhead of spiritualism lies and Rome is the originator of it
in Christianity.

CHAPTER 4: THE 2520 PROPHECY OF INIQUITY DECODED

The Papacy was a world power from 538 to 1798 [“a time and times
and the dividing of time,” found also in Dan. 12:7 & Rev. 12:13], that is, a
year plus two years plus a half of a year. This is three and a half years of
prophetic time which, in this case, we use the day-for-a-year principle (see
Num. 14:34 & Ezek. 4:6). 360 days are in the Biblical year; therefore, we get
1260 total years [360 + 2(360) + 360/2]. The 1260 days of prophetic time is
found in Revelation 11:3 and 12:6. As there are 30 days in a Biblical month,
there are 42 months in that same time. This can be found in Revelation 11:2
and 13:5. During this time, the conscientious followers of the Bible were
terribly persecuted by the beast; so, they had to live in hiding and witness to
others in secrecy. In 508 AD, when the daily (continual) presence of ancient
idolatry and spiritualism ended (Dan. 12:11), as far as Pagan Rome being a
world power, Rome had ten kingdoms [prophetic horns or kings (Dan. 7:7,
8)]; thus, we have the 1290 years with the 30 added before the 1260.
However, three of them [Heruli, Ostrogoths, and Vandals] were against
Rome’s authoritative style of Christianity; so, they were overtaken by force
with seven remaining by 538 AD when the new Rome officially began.
In 1798, the Pope was taken captive by the French Army, thus
wounding the power of Rome. Read about this prophetical beast in
Revelation 13. You will find it also has seven heads. Rome has always been
known as the city of seven hills and the Vatican was later built on the eighth
one. Interestingly, Jerusalem, where the Pope is planning on reigning soon,
also is a city of seven hills. This is one application of a much larger
prophecy, Revelation 17:11, which we will study later. Rome’s wound began
to heal in 1929 when Vatican City was created. Here is verse 3: “And I saw
one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was
healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” Rome wrote of it
herself in the Current History Magazine pp. 848, 849: “That the Holy See is
the supreme organ of the Catholic Church throughout the world and that,
therefore, the Holy See is the legitimate representative of the organization of
the Church in Italy cannot be said, excepting in the sense in which it is said
that the head is the supreme organ of the human body. We say that
our hopes have been disappointed because the long negotiations, although
they had not always been easy, had opened our soul to the brightest hopes,
and what of all things we least expected were expressions that are heretical,
worse than heretical, regarding the very essence of Christianity and of
Catholicism. Efforts have been made to heal the wound.” She will not
be fully healed until she joins forces with two other powers that we will see
later, as she will then regain worship of the entire world through law.
We also have Bible evidence that the years between 538 and 1798 are
correct based on intersections with other time prophecies. We need to study
the book of Daniel which has been coming to life “at the end of days” (Dan.
12:13). The “wise” who study prophecy in relation to the Three Angels’
Messages of coming out of Babylon unto Christ “shall understand” (v. 10) His
glory as the prophetical words are unsealed to us “in the time of the end” (v.
9).
The little horn mentioned in Daniel 7:8 and 8:9 represents the system
of leadership of Rome who “magnified [himself] even against the prince of
the host” (v. 11, margin), being Jesus, and “made war with” His “saints”
(7:21). Here we see the same principle of self in place of Christ [self esteem]
that comes from the dragon power of Pagan idolatry, a system originating
from Satan. The word “sacrifice” coming after “daily” [again, meaning
continual] in verses 12 and 13 of the King James Version, was added based
on the limited knowledge that the Bible translators had of prophecy since
Daniel was sealed to human understanding in previous times; however, we
will see later that “sacrifice” is part of the whole “daily” system of idol
worship.
You see, Paganism was continually [again, another name for “daily”]
on the throne of this earth for 1260 years. [Another word for “sanctuary” is
throne, just like God has in heaven]. As we will see later, this time began in
723 BC when Israel, which was to be a divine theocracy, was besieged by a
Pagan nation to eventually become captive to Babylon. This was as a result
of breaking their Sabbath covenant with God. Babylon is represented by the
first beast in Daniel 7: “The first [was] like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I
beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the
earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given
to it” (v. 4). Lions have pride just as the tower of Babel was built with the
spirit of pride to magnify the people to the God of heaven. This spirit—also
manifested in Nebuchadnezzar’s kingdom of Babylon being at the top of his
statue as the sun-gold head—has been maintained in all later kingdoms,
including the fourth. Eagles also have pride as they fly high over every other
creature, and their swiftness represents the quick nature of sin. When man
sins in his heart, his God-given dignity is taken away and left desolate under
captivity to Satan. This is what happened to Babylon and why it became the
first worldwide Pagan (without God) kingdom and taken over by another
power, Medo-Persia, represented by a mean, angry bear, and like Satan,
ready to devour her (v. 5; Rev. 12:4). This is why Babylon represents the
harlot church in Revelation—a church destitute of God unlike spiritual Israel
—and is under the false threefold godhead of spiritualism instead.
The 1260 years we just mentioned ended in 538 AD as the
abomination of this harlot church fully took the earth’s throne; thus, the
beginning of the second 1260 years of the Papacy which we previously
studied. Let us discover a prophecy connecting the two periods that will
unveil many things. Nebuchadnezzar, who was the king of Babylon, boasted
of his pride like a lion-eagle but then was laid low. “The king spake, and
said, is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom
by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? While the word
[was] in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, [saying], O king
Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; the kingdom is departed from thee.
And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling [shall be] with the
beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven
times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the
kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will” (Dan. 4:30-32). The
seven times were literal years for Nebuchadnezzar to become an animal, just
what Satan wants man to be so that we lose our identity as God’s image and
just what satanic men experimented with before the Flood. Fossil evidence
exists of apelike humanoids. Most scientists call it evolution, but then why
would no clear progressions of species show up in fossils of other animals
across the board? And if man can genetically engineer cells, why can’t God
do the same with someone living like old Neb who became an animal?
Where else do we find a “seven times” curse in the Bible? Leviticus
26. The first two verses reveal the root cause of the curse that would come
upon Israel: coveting idols instead of keeping the Sabbath to have Christ’s
presence within, and in turn breaking the seven other commandments. “Ye
shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing
image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone in your land, to bow down
unto it: for I [am] the LORD your God. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and
reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD … and keep my commandments,
and do them.” This was a conditional prophecy that could be thwarted if the
people and their leaders repented and fulfilled their role to be a light to the
world. If they would break their covenant with God, He would punish them
seven times, mentioned four different times in this chapter to likely indicate
the four worldly empires that would follow (see v. 9, 15, 18, 21, 24, 28).
Israel would become scattered and desolated by these four kingdoms (see v.
22, 33-35, 42). The curse would be a blessing—to develop better characters
under adversity so they could live eternally in the presence of God also to
spread God’s light to the scattered heathen lands; however, those who would
not obey would be just where they wanted to be at heart: in the midst of
rebellious Babylon.
 In the context of this chapter with the previous one, we see that the
seventh year Sabbath is made prominent and that breaking it would be
another reason for their scattering. Every seven years the land was to rest,
and if the Israelites did not obey, God made sure the land would rest by
allowing them to be captives in foreign countries. All the land of earth will be
desolate and at rest during the seventh millennial Sabbath while the saints
are in heaven because they kept the Sabbath covenant. The Jubilee
anciently was to come after every seven times of land-rests to make for a
double year land-rest. This would be every fiftieth year. The ultimate Jubilee
will be the eternal Sabbath rest proceeding after the seventh millennium,
again, for God’s commandment-keeping people who rest in Jesus now.
Before we see the significance of the seven times curse, let us use an
important code in Daniel which will become a key to unlock the prophecy we
are studying. After Nebuchadnezzar became a human-animal, his grandson
Belshazzar took the throne of Babylon. He repeated the spirit of pride. This
led to idolatry and spiritualism. You can read about it in Daniel 5.
“Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords … They
drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of
wood, and of stone … In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand,
and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the
king's palace … The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the
Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. [And] the king spake, and said to the wise
[men] of Babylon, whosoever shall read this writing, and show me the
interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and [have] a chain of
gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom (v. 1-7).
Instead of the idolatrous leaders of spiritualism interpreting the
mysterious scene Belshazzar saw, the one who interpreted his grandfather’s
vision came—Daniel, God’s prophet, who became the ruler over the province
of fallen Babylon. Here is the cryptic code that the strange hand wrote with
Daniels interpretation: “And this [is] the writing that was written, MENE,
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This [is] the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God
hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the
balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given
to the Medes and Persians” (v. 25-28). Babylon falls and Medo-Persia takes
over as prophesied in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. This also foreshadows
modern Babylon’s double fall as seen in the Second Angel’s Message.
A second interpretation exists that the Bible will interpret itself—
the key that will reveal any Scripture to be used by any prayerful
Bible student such as yourself. The Chaldean words are also units of the
Hebrew currency. Think about it: if there was no secondary Biblical
interpretation in addition to the falling of Babylon—who initially brought
Israel into the many years of scattering—then why would currency measures
be here?! A Chaldean TEKEL is the same as a Hebrew shekel [the standard
weight used to balance everything else]. The Babylonian system of
measurements were always in units of 60’s as we have today with seconds
and minutes; therefore, they had 60 minas [Hebrew maneh = measured
amount, a pound; same as Chaldean MENE] in a talent and 60 shekels in the
mina, thus making 3600 shekels in a talent. However, we know from Exodus
38:25-28 that the Hebrews only had 3000 shekels to the talent. Here is the
math: 603,550 people each provided a half of a shekel, making 301,775
shekels. This provides the funds for both the silver sockets and the hooks.
Since we are only interested in the silver to get the conversion factor for
talents, we simply subtract the 1775 shekels for the hooks from the total
funds, thus giving us 300,000 shekels; dividing this by the 100 talents we get
3000 shekels to a talent. This means that 50 shekels were in one mina for
the Hebrews at that time since 60 minas were in one talent universally
[Hebrews used 60’s at times too], thus giving easier numbers to work with
such as 1000 gerahs to a mina since there are 20 Hebrew shekels to a gerah
(see Ex. 30:13; Lev. 27:25; Num. 3:47; 18:6; Ezek. 45:12). Do not get too
confused here; we just had to briefly provide proof.
We cannot use the day-for-a-year principle to get years in this
prophecy since there are no days given; therefore, we will use the gerah
conversion of twenty-to-one in relation to shekels. Similar to the time, times,
and dividing (half) a time of the second 1260 years, Peres is divides in half as
Daniel mentions. It is applied to the word that occurs twice. You will believe
that these two factors are not mere guesswork when you see the ducks cross
in a row after we solve this formula: 1000 MENE + 1000 MENE + 20 TEKEL +
500 PERES (UPHARSIN) = 2520 years.
This is the longest time prophecy of the Bible! It adds the two
consecutive 1260-year periods, and later we will see the 2520 double as
well! Also, we have the two seven times prophecies—seven years is 360 x 7
days and days are converted into years, again giving us 2520 years! The
first seven times prophecy is the fall of Israel into captivity as the curse
became a reality due to the necessity, while the second is the fall of
Nebuchadnezzar whose vision represented the four kingdoms holding Israel
captive during the 2520 years ending in 1798 when Rome was wounded.
Nebuchadnezzar’s fall also foreshadowed the fall of his kingdom of Babylon
which was made final in the writing on the wall that we just solved to be
2520. Hence we have three witnesses for the 2520 years, just like we had
three witnesses for the 1260 years that make up the 2520 years [42 x30;
1260 itself; 3 ½ times]! Is it also not interesting that twice 1260 is 2520, just
as twice 3 ½ is 7 times?! “This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In
the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established” (II Cor.
13:1). [See also Deut. 17:6; 19:15; Matt. 18:16; I Tim. 5:19; Heb. 10:28; I Jn.
5:7, 8 for three witnesses]. The last reference will be revealed later when we
discover the vision of the complete testimony, or witness, of Jesus to every
nation, kindred, tongue and people on earth in connection with the Three
Angels’ Messages of prophecy. If you have been following along and you
have any sense in you, it is impossible for you to not believe in the Bible
anymore!

CHAPTER 5: THE SEALING, HEALING PROPHETIC OIL OF REPAIR

 These 2520 years will open up much to us, and we will closely examine
it in connection with other time prophecies after capturing some precious
gems of truth. Be sure to make your own custom timeline, if you have not
started already, as we go through. We will see how an understanding of
prophetic time solidifies our faith of Jesus being the Messiah. So, if you or
your loved ones are Old Testament Jews, we hope that this will enhance
spiritual awareness of God’s work on earth. The long-awaited Messiah has
already come and will restore His kingdom of believers in heaven at His soon
Second Advent so that this earth will be heaven’s eternal place of rest for all
spiritual Jews around 3000 years after the disappointment of Him not
reigning on Earth to put an end to Pagan captivity. You see, the timing was
wrong back then since the 2520 years of our scattering and captivity had to
end due to the curse placed upon us; and after that, a movement had to be
established to usher Christ’s Second Coming. Why? So that we are perfectly
restored into His image as a token of what all previous generations of
spiritual Israel would have become if they had been enlightened with the
loud cry of the Three Angels’ Messages which we are now hearing! Let us
now see how the 2520 years are doubled and split by an extremely
important gap in time which other time prophecies fit into as well. This gap
will play a large role in our understanding the mystery of godliness—the
whole plan of redemption.
Recall the following quote: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: and he shall
turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to
their fathers” (Mal. 4:6). The fathers can refer to the Old Testament Jews
and the children can refer to the New Testament Jews. The Elijah prophets in
our day are to repair the breach made in the Sabbath: universally forgotten
for over 1260 years when Rome became “Christianized” and continued our
captivity to the ancient world empires. “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy
voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the
house of Jacob their sins ... And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old
waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many
generations; and thou shalt be called, the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of paths to dwell in. If thou turn away thy foot from the
sabbath, [from] doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a
delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not
doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking [thine
own] words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause
thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with
the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken
[it]” (Is. 58:1, 12-14).
We are to become united as one people in these last days, yet we are
few [symbolized by 7000] compared to the majority who enter into the
conspired One World Religion of Spiritualism. The counterfeit fathers
[Pagans] and children [Papal Rome and her “Protestant” children bearing her
mark, or image, of authority] are those who cause the breach on earth. They
are the counterfeit Elijah (Elias) prophets who try to mix the church with the
world using the occult principle of opposites and bow down to the image of
the sun—spiritually by teaching it is fine to covet the idols of the world and
more literally by setting the worship day as Sunday. “I say then, hath God
cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed
of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people
which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he
maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy
prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek
my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to
myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of]
Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to
the election of grace” (Rom. 11:1-5 … read rest of chapter). “Should we
again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these
abominations? Wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed
[us], so that [there should be] no remnant nor escaping?” “And the dragon
was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her
seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of
Jesus Christ” (Ezra. 9:14; Rev. 12:17).
In the harlot church, “[there is] a conspiracy of her prophets in
the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have
devoured souls ... Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned
mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and
profane, neither have they showed [difference] between the unclean and
the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned
among them. Her princes in the midst thereof [are] like wolves ravening the
prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain. And her
prophets have daubed them with untempered [mortar], seeing vanity, and
divining lies unto them, saying, thus saith the Lord GOD, when the
LORD hath not spoken. The people of the land have used oppression, and
exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have
oppressed the stranger wrongfully. And I sought for a man among them,
that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for
the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore
have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with
the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads,
saith the Lord GOD” (Ezek. 22:25-31).
“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that]
circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he [is] a Jew, which is one
inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart” (Rom. 2:28, 29). “And the
bullock [for] the sin offering, and the goat [for] the sin offering, whose blood
was brought in to make atonement in the holy [place]” (Lev. 16:27). “But
when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not
his legs: but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and
forthwith came there out blood and water.” “But God commendeth his
love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much
more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath
through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by
the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by
his life ... by whom we have now received the atonement” (Jn. 19:33, 34;
Rom. 5:8-11).
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: [it is] the gift of God. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes
were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace,
who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of
partition [between us]; having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even]
the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; for to make in
himself of twain one new man, [so] making peace; and that he might
reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the
enmity thereby: and came and preached peace to you which were afar off,
and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one
Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of
God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ himself being the chief corner [stone]; in whom all the building fitly
framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye
also are builded together for an habitation of God through the
Spirit” (Eph. 2:8, 13-22).
Thus, Christ bridges the gap between man and God, and in these last
days, Old Testament Jews [who testify of the Sabbath and the Sanctuary]
and New Testament Jews [who testify of the Lord of the Sabbath and
Sanctuary (Matt. 12:8)] unite with Jesus in repairing the Sabbath breach.
This has been symbolized by Moses and Elijah, as we are beginning to look
at, and foreshadowed in symbolic time by Israel and Judah, as we will see
afterwards. Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial ordinances that He ordained
anciently as they were a shadow of His atoning work, especially in these last
days in the heavenly sanctuary as we will later see. It is recommended that
you read The Cross and its Shadow by Stephen Haskell to see the relation
between the old earthly sanctuary and the new heavenly [after the Cross]. It
can currently be read online at:
http://dedication.www3.50megs.com/haskell_contents.html. Like Abraham
(read Rom. 4), through the blood of Jesus—His life, His seed, His Word, His
Spirit, received by His grace through His faith—we obtain the promise of
eternally inheriting this earth and its capitol of Jerusalem. “It is the spirit
that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you,
[they] are spirit, and [they] are life. For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood:
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your
souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul” (Jn. 6:63;
Lev. 17:11).
Do not let numbers fool you; God’s remnant has always been just a
few, but the day after all of the wicked are consumed, they will be blessed as
the only people left. “O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his
chosen ones. He [is] the LORD our God; his judgments [are] in all the earth.
Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word [which] he commanded to a
thousand generations; [even of the covenant] which he made with Abraham
… an everlasting covenant, saying, unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
the lot of your inheritance. When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers
in it. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he
should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not
knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as
[in] a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs
with him of the same promise: for he looked for a city which hath
foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God. Rest in the LORD, and wait
patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way,
because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger,
and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall
be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.
For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]: yea, thou shalt
diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not [be]. But the meek shall inherit
the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace” (I Chron.
16:13-19; Heb. 11:8-10; Ps. 37:7-11).
The good news is that Jesus died for every sinner—any race on the
planet can be grafted into spiritual Israel [the Romans 11 olive tree] and
receive the promise of a kingdom of eternal rest and peace if they in faith
rest in the Lord and His promises now! We must take Him at His Word so it
becomes our life; for this is the only life that “endureth forever!” Brethren,
mankind has been purchased, yea redeemed, by “the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: who verily was
foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these
last times for you, who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the
dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing
ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto
unfeigned love of the brethren, [see that ye] love one another with a pure
heart fervently: being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all
flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass
withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: but the word of the Lord
endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto
you. The seed is the word of God” (I Pet. 1:19-25; Luke 8:11 … see also
verses 5-10).
These things will become clearer when we see the Habakkuk’s vision of
Jesus later in the book, but first let us view another vision as given to
Zechariah in chapter four of his prophetical book, which will in turn give us a
preview of the former vision. Keep in mind, we are now interested in the
“gap” which we will shortly see in the time prophecies. “I have looked, and
behold a candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his
seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [are] upon
the top thereof: and two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the
bowl, and the other upon the left [side] thereof. So I answered and spake to
the angel that talked with me, saying, what [are] these, my lord” (v. 2-4)?
“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, this [is] the word of the
LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,
saith the LORD of hosts. Who [art] thou, O great mountain? Before
Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the
headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], grace, grace unto it” (v.
6, 7)! “Then answered I, and said unto him, what [are] these two olive trees
upon the right [side] of the candlestick and upon the left [side] thereof? And I
answered again, and said unto him, what [be these] two olive branches
which through the two golden pipes empty the golden [oil] out of
themselves? And he answered me and said, knowest thou not what these
[be]? And I said, No, my lord. Then said he, these [are] the two anointed
ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth” (v. 11-14).
The background of this passage has to do with the rebuilding of
Jerusalem and its temple after having been destroyed by the Babylonians
during their 70-year captivity which ended in 537 BC when the handwriting
on the wall was given. “And this whole land shall be a desolation, [and] an
astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy
years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished,
[that] I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for
their iniquity” (Jer. 25:11, 12). The name “Zerubbabel” means to descend
from Babylon. After the 70 years was fulfilled, he as the governor of Judah
would direct Israel out of Babylon back to Jerusalem, which would be rebuilt.
Cyrus, King of the new world monarchy of Medo-Persia, opened the way in
this decree: “Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, all the kingdoms of the earth
hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build
him an house in Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah” (II Chron. 36:23). 200 years
before Cyrus was even born the following prophecy was given by Isaiah:
“That saith of Cyrus, [he is] my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure:
even saying to Jerusalem, thou shalt be built; and to the temple, thy
foundation shall be laid” (Is. 44:28). These things are only prophetical of the
great work God is doing in our profound time.
Babylon, with the name describing the exaltation of man’s work in
place of God, is represented as the mountain which has been such a great
and continual burden to the Lord’s people for such long a time. It has hidden
God’s rest for His people and is the counterfeit of Jerusalem. The Church is
represented by the candlestick with the seven lamps representing God’s
seven prophetical churches in time as indicated in the first three chapters of
Revelation (see 1:20). More than this, since we know that seven is a number
of completeness, it can mean here that it represents every single member of
the Church. Each individual who accepts Christ receives a distinctive
measure of God’s grace; a unique incarnation of the Spirit of Jesus in flesh
takes place to shine forth God’s glory—His character. This is the ultimate
goal of redemption and the whole reason for our existence in the universe!
This is the proof, friend, that through the incarnation of Jesus in person
coming in the flesh 2000 years ago, together with His death and resurrection
that followed making these incarnations available … it is proof that He
sacrificed His life just for you as you are a unique creation! We will later see
greater significance of this.
Now notice the Sabbath connection—you can choose to have Christ
incarnated in you by accepting His authority [sealed in the Fourth
Commandment] over your life and remembering to invite His presence in
your life while forsaking your old ways. He will not force you, but he will say
“But now thus saith the LORD that created thee … Fear not: for I have
redeemed thee, I have called [thee] by thy name; thou [art] mine …
Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have
loved thee … Fear not: for I [am] with thee … bring my sons from far, and
my daughters from the ends of the earth; [even] every one that is called by
my name: for I have created him for my glory … I, [even] I, [am] the LORD;
and beside me [there] is no Saviour] … ye are my witnesses, saith the
LORD, that I [am] God … this people I have formed for Myself: they shall
shew forth my praise … thou hast wearied Me with thine iniquities. I,
[even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own
sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put Me in remembrance: let us
plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified ... For I will
pour water upon him that is thirsty” (Is. 43:1, 4-7, 12, 21, 24-26; 44:3).
Do you want to serve this God? Keep in mind that this incarnation, this
baptism, is a daily experience. We are to say with the Apostle Paul, “I die
daily. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of
the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (see I Cor.
15:21; Gal. 2:20).
Zechariah’s vision of the Candlestick represents the same that stands
in the Holy Place of the Sanctuary. Let us examine a text regarding the old
earthly Sanctuary followed by one regarding the Heavenly Sanctuary which
John the Revelator saw in vision. “John” is the Elijah prophet of the New
Testament; the first was John the Baptist who prophesied of Christ’s First
Advent, and his predecessor was John the Revelator who prophesied of
Christ’s Second Advent and preceding events, thus for our generation to
carry the same spirit. “And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that
they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn
always.” “And [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne,
which are the seven Spirits of God” (Ex. 27:20; Rev. 4:5).
Thus is revealed to us the continual presence of Christ’s Spirit, given to
the multitude of His people who make up His Human Temple of Seven
Churches [Candlesticks]; and not only this, but His blood being continually
applied to meet the cases of repentant confessions made by the Church—
this being in the Heavenly Temple where He in Person resides as both Lamb
and High Priest. “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne … stood a
Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the
seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth” (Rev. 5:6). The bowl in
Zechariah’s vision represents each humble penitent human heart where the
Holy Spirit is received. The daily presence of Paganism—the Satanist
religion, the mountain in Zechariah’s vision—is only the counterfeit to the
daily presence of Jesus in the Christian experience.
Here is a sneak preview of what we will see later. The wound of pure
Paganism will be healed by uniting with two other empires, including the one
which was began to heal in 1929, in the near future final onslaught of 666.
However, it will last but a short time. God’s Kingdom will triumph when His
Temple on earth is complete. After Resurrection Day, the seventh millennial
Sabbath of desolation will occur for Satan to experience the end result of his
Pagan experiment while the redeemed are rejoicing in heaven.
Nebuchadnezzar’s vision of the Stone crushing his image of Babylonian
kingdoms will be fulfilled as the true and everlasting Mountain of Zion—
Christ’s Kingdom of Earth—will be filled with His eternal presence as He
abides in Capitol Jerusalem at His throne. This is a literal city for the saints
who made up the Temple of Spiritual Jerusalem in their probationary time by
surrendering to the same throne of God’s love in their hearts.
The spirit other than true love, which originated from Satan and
trickled down throughout the Babylons of time, will be destroyed from this
earth once and for all. “The stone that smote the image became a great
mountain, and filled the whole earth. The judgment shall sit … to consume
and to destroy [it] unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the
greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the
people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting
kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. The sons also of them
that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised
thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call
thee, the city of the LORD, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel. For Zion's sake
will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until
the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation
thereof as a lamp [that] burneth. For, behold, I create new heavens and
a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
But be ye glad and rejoice for ever [in that] which I create: for, behold, I
create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in
Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more
heard in her, nor the voice of crying. Thus saith the LORD, the heaven [is]
my throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye
build unto me? And where [is] the place of my rest? (Dan. 2: 35; 7: 26,
27; Is. 60:14; 62:1; 65:17-19; 66:1).
The two olive trees, being two witnesses, pouring their oil into the
lamps of the Candlestick are of great interest to us. Revelation 11 verses 2
and 3 hints to us that these oil-providing branches provided for God’s faithful
remnant in hiding (sackcloth), due to persecution; it was needed to
prophecy, or teach the Word of God, to others who would hear them during
the Dark Ages of the 1260 years. What are the two parts of the Bible? The
Old and New Testament. Yet, what else is represented? You see, God gives
us two ingredients of grace. Just as Babylon falls in love twice with the world
in an abominable affair, Christ combines His Word of Truth [II Tim. 2:15] and
His Spirit of Truth [Jn. 14:16-18] to create a relationship of true love with His
people. One without the other sends people back to Babylon either through
liberalism or legalism; thus the gap and the reason for the two tables of the
law that divide at the Sabbath command. “God [is] a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth” (Jn. 4:24). Through
our Sabbath relationship with the Lord, they become the same as they
proceed from the same source, being His heart.
What we need is a true conception of God’s character, which the
doctrines of the devil infused throughout Babylon negate. On one side we
have Elijah, the Spirit, spirituality of the law [First Table], the New
Testament, God’s mercy, and faith; and on the other side we respectively
have Moses, the Truth, the ethical aspect of the law [Second Table], the Old
Testament, God’s justice, and works of love. Both sides are to complement
each other since we can see different attributes of God’s creative power of
love on both sides. “Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and
peace have kissed [each other]” (Ps. 85:10). To venerate all this, two
angelic cherubim represent the two tables of law which are the under the
mercy seat that they hover over in the heart of the Heavenly Sanctuary,
being its Most Holy Place. The bright Shekinah glory of God’s presence fills
the gap with the glory of perfect love. In the human heart, the presence of
the Holy Spirit shining beams of truth is to do likewise!
Do you see it yet? Have you started to capture the vision of Jesus?!
What Zechariah portrays is His Sabbath seal to unite Him with His people as
they surrender to His government of love. The golden oil of both olive
branches blends into one through His sinless life as given eternally to us
through His blood, which is then appropriated to us through His Word
speaking His life into us as symbolized by the cleansing water of life.
“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed [thereto]
according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not
wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I
might not sin against thee” (Ps. 119:9-11). Only by this experience will we
have the perfect balanced character acceptable to God for heaven. This is
not a burden but a joy for those who serve Him with a pure heart, for He is
more precious than anything to them.
The token of this experience is waiting for us in heaven: “A pure river
of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of
the Lamb. The midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was
there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, [and] yielded her
fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the
nations” (Rev. 22:1, 2). Jesus is the “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end, the first and the last. Blessed [are] they that do his
commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter
in through the gates into the city” (v. 13, 14). Friend, the Tree of Life, which
also symbolizes the eternal life Jesus gives us, was lost to mankind after we
sinned because we chose to have the knowledge of good and evil—an
experience of sin (see Gen. 3:22-24). The only way back to this tree is by
way of the River of Life, the same life healing source of Jesus. The cry of
“the Spirit and the bride” is: “Come. And let him that heareth say, come.
And let him that is athirst come! And whosoever will, let him take the
water of life freely!” (v. 17). Study Ephesians 5:23-32 for a further
understanding of this mystery.
Jesus is waiting for the maturing such souls, those who surrender to His
beautiful presence so that He is glorified in His spiritual temple. Then He will
send His harvest rain. Every individual who is a member of this temple is an
end-time ensign messenger, signifying the wonderful power and love of God
compared to the darkness of sin. “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven [is] my
throne, and the earth [is] my footstool: where [is] the house that ye
build unto me? and where [is] the place of my rest? For all those
[things] hath mine hand made, and all those [things] have been, saith the
LORD: but to this [man] will I look, [even] to [him that is] poor and of a
contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.” “Go, ye swift messengers,
to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning
hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have
spoiled! All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye,
when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a
trumpet, hear ye. For so the LORD said unto me, I will take my rest, and I
will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat after the rain, [and] like
a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he
hath desired [it] for his habitation. This [is] my rest for ever: here will I
dwell; for I have desired it” (Is. 66:1, 2; 18:2-4, margin; Ps. 132:13, 14).
The ensign itself is the tenfold testimony of Jesus made manifest
on the Two Tables of His One Holy Law of Love. Though it can be
printed on paper, the reality of it occurs when people see Christ in us by our
demeanor and actions as the Godhead says to us, “Ye are our epistle written
in our hearts, known and read of all men … written not with ink, but with
the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables
of the heart (II Cor. 3:2, 3). This is true rest as it brings peace from all the
burdens of sin. We, created in God’s image, were given ten fingers, two
arms, and one body with a heart to designate this reality!
Regarding Christ entering into His Temple’s hearts, it is written: “To
whom coming, [as unto] a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen
of God, [and] precious, ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual
house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the
scripture, behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he
that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which
believe [he is] precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone
which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, and
a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, [even to them] which
stumble,” not tremble in adoration, “at the word, being disobedient:
whereunto also they were appointed. But ye [are] a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth
the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous
light: which in time past [were] not a people, but [are] now the people of
God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.” “And he
shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying],
grace, grace unto it” (I Pet. 2:4-10; Zech. 4:7). Therefore, the headstone
for the spiritual temple and the golden oil for the bowl, in practical terms,
represent the same thing—it is His very life freely poured out to every
individual who by faith accepts it and is willing to live it so that this life can
be poured out to others through them. Tears of repentance and tears of
compassion for the salvation of others will be sown. It will become clearer as
the vision intensifies later in this book. Others, who perceive obedience as
burdensome rather than a blessing, will stumble and fall; Scripture will be
made opposite of its true meaning to justify their fall.
The Ten Commandments given by Moses and the prophetic gospel
testimony given by Elijah are to be blended into one through the loud
trumpet cry now being heard through people like us courageously arising to
restore the way in repairing the Sabbath breach, with our eyes fixed on
Jesus. We will have the experience of the Spirit of Elijah and John the
Baptist; some of us will be translated to heaven [like Elijah] when Jesus
comes and others will become martyrs [like John] before that time. “And
after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth
them up into an high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them: and
his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And,
behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then
answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou
wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses,
and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed
them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, this is my beloved
Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples
heard [it], they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and
touched them, and said, arise, and be not afraid. And when they had
lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. And as they came
down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no
man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. And his disciples
asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? Jesus
answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore
all things. But I say unto you, that Elias is come already, and they knew him
not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the
Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto
them of John the Baptist” (Matt. 17:1-13).
The work of John the Baptist to prepare the way for Christ’s First
Advent was prophesied of by Isaiah, but this same spirit of Elijah is being
given with more power, yea the power of the loud cry, by God’s faithful
messengers in the last days to prepare the way for Christ’s Second Advent,
such as you if you heed the cry yourself. “Comfort ye, comfort ye my
people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto
her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she
hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins. The voice of him
that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make
straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted,
and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be
made straight, and the rough places plain. And the glory of the LORD
shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the
LORD hath spoken [it]. The voice said, cry. And he said, what shall I cry?
All flesh [is] grass, and all the goodliness thereof [is] as the flower of the
field: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the
LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass. The grass withereth, the
flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. O Zion, that
bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that
bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid;
say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! (Is. 40:1-9).
At this time, God’s Church Militant is in the wilderness between the
Egypt of Babylonian sin and the heavenly Canaan of glory. Just as in old, the
cry must go out from the “High Mountain” of Christ’s righteousness of Sinai
to return to the Two Tables of God’s Law, the Ark of His Strength—to restore
His image in His people. Just like John the Baptist who was “preaching in the
wilderness,” we are to exclaim, “Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand!” (Matt. 3:1, 2). “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh
away the sin of the world!” (Jn. 1:29). Then we can say with the Psalmist:
“Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. Let
thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout
for joy!

CHAPTER 6: THE 2520 UNVEILS THE BREACH AND ITS REPAIR

Now that we have received a glimpse of Christ’s glory, let us return to

prophetical time to further prove that these things are so. King Solomon,
who later became one of the wisest men to ever live, had broken the
covenant of God and instead made a different one with death through
idolatry. Many others followed his course. This is the reason for the seven
times curse; hence, Israel divided into two kingdoms—the North ten tribes of
Samaria [named after it being the capital of the land of Ephraim, the
principal tribe] and the South two tribes of Judah where Jerusalem lies. This
is covered in I Kings 11, specifically verses 9-13 and 29-37.
In Isaiah 28, we see a picture of the two domains and their continuance
of evil. The curse is verified by their behavior and the ultimate curse of
destruction upon all the wicked is foreshadowed. The root cause for the
curse is again given: they chose the covenant of death through drinking the
wine of the Babylonian false doctrine of natural immortality [spiritualism]
because they walked over and stumbled on the headstone of Jesus, not
appreciating His loveliness of character and partaking of His Spirit of Life and
Words of Life (review Jn. 6:63). Instead of choosing His refreshing rest of
refuge that comes through willful obedience, another rest of their own
workings would result—desolation and death. “For the law of the Spirit of
life in Christ Jesus” is freedom “from the law of sin and death” (Rom. 8:2).
“But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of
the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they
are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink;
they err in vision, they stumble [in] judgment ... Whom shall he teach
knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? … For
precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line
upon line; here a little, [and] there a little … This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye
may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not
hear … Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and
with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass
through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and
under falsehood have we hid ourselves: therefore thus saith the Lord GOD,
behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner
[stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Judgment
also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail
shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding
place” (v. 7, 9, 10, 12, 15-17).
In 742 BC, a prophecy was made regarding the fall of Samaria within
65 years. Two main causes are given. The first one is that Samaria’s leaders
developed a confederacy with Syria, a worldly nation, to jealously take over
Judah, a land God had not given them. Thus, through not resting in God,
they decided to make a breach in the ordained promises of His Word, saying,
“Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for
us, and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the son of Tabeal.” However,
“thus saith the Lord GOD, it shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass. For
the head of Syria [is] Damascus, and the head of Damascus [is] Rezin; and
within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a
people. And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, and the head of Samaria [is]
Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established” (Is.
7:6-9). The second cause of their fall was that the Israelites became
immersed into idolatry and spiritualism—through the same underlying cause
of not resting satisfied in God’s will and instead uniting with the surrounding
nations of the world, principally Syria. “And they left all the commandments
of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, [even] two calves,
and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
They caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and
used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the
sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. Therefore the LORD was very
angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but
the tribe of Judah only” (II Kings 17:16-18).
 As a result of their rebellion, Israel was besieged by Assyria, who also
later took over Syria. Instead of them inhabiting Judah which did not belong
to them, their own cities became inhabited by Assyria and lost control of
their government! As for Israel’s old leader, “therefore the king of Assyria
shut him up, and bound him in prison. Then the king of Assyria came up
throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried
Israel away into Assyria” (v. 4-6). This was in 723 BC, 19 years after the
previous prophecy was given as well as the beginning to the 2520 year
prophecy that contains the two 1260 years of Pagan and Papal powers in
succession. However, 46 years, an interesting number that we will now
begin to examine, still remained of the 65.
What happened to Judah? Judean King “Manasseh made Judah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, [and] to do worse than the heathen, whom
the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel. He reared up altars for
Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the
host of heaven, and served them. And he made his son pass through the fire,
and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits
and wizards. And hath made Judah also to sin with his idols. And the LORD
spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king
of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with
fetters, and carried him to Babylon” (II Chron. 33:9; II Kings 21:3, 6, 11; II
Chron. 33:10, 11). By this time, being 677 BC, Babylon had joined forces
with Assyria and became the more prominent side.
Notice that 677 BC comes 46 years after 723 BC. Therefore, the 65
years has ended and it was at this time that Babylon began to fiercely
oppress both the North and South of Israel, thereby fully fulfilling the original
prophecy, so that absolutely no Israeli government was left. Let us look at
another interesting prophecy located next to part of the previous text that
puts things into perspective. God says, “I will stretch over Jerusalem the
line of Samaria” (II Kings 21:13). Now think this through. 2520 years were
for the curse of Israel because the nation as a whole forsook God in pursuit
of their idols. Since Israel split into the North and South and were no longer
one government, they were given two probations as nations; and since
Samaria fell from God quicker than Judah, their probation to escape the
curse ended first. Judah trailed off only 46 years behind as they reached
even worse sin. Therefore, we have two prophetical lines with a 46 year gap
of separation illustrating the breach made in the Sabbath which must be
repaired. Samaria caused the breach in wanting to erect their government
in Judah in opposition to God’s Government; we will later see that the Judah
line, where Jerusalem is, closes the breach off in 1844 after a worldwide
movement began to repair the breach and restore what was lost over time.
The Samaria line lasted until 1798 when the Pope was taken captive, thus
ending Rome’s monarchy and ending the captivity of God’s people to
Babylonian kingdoms.
 70 years after Manasseh and others were taken captive into Babylon,
almost everyone else was taken captive, including the Prophet Daniel. This
was in 607 BC. It was at this time that Nebuchadnezzar rebuilt Babylon City
into what it never was before, stretching it over the Euphrates River with
gigantic walls, magnifying it as a lion with eagle’s wings to become the first
world monarch which Egypt could never boast of. It was also at this time
that it would be impossible for Jubilees to be kept since Israel would never
get its land back until the New Jerusalem. Therefore, in prophetic time while
God’s people were scattered, the land would lay rest until the Jubilee of
Jubilees which would come after 49 Jubilees, each lasting 50 years. Thus, we
have a perfect Sabbath period of 2450 (50 x 49) years bringing us again to
1844 when the Judah line closes the 46 year breach; Jerusalem was gathered
and the Sabbath returned. Keep in mind that disobedience to the Sabbath
concept [including Jubilees] caused their captivity in the first place.
“Israel [is] a scattered sheep; the lions have driven [him] away:
first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon hath broken his bones. And this whole land shall be a
desolation, [and] an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of
Babylon seventy years. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are
accomplished, [that] I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith
the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it
perpetual desolations. For thus saith the LORD, that after seventy years be
accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward
you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I
think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give
you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray
unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find [me],
when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you,
saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you
from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith
the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be
carried away captive” (Jer. 50:17; 25:11, 12; 29:10-14). God is control of
time and He has everyone’s best interests in mind. Babylon fell after 70
years, thus showing the foolishness of covetous pride. Spiritual Israel is
scattered for 2520 years but afterwards His work is to gather her back to her
city of heritage.
After the 70 years, we earlier saw that Zerubbabel was calling the
Israelites out of Babylon to return to Jerusalem; however, not all came back
and even those that did recovered little of the land back as Medo-Persia was
the second world empire. What is important is the prophetic picture God is
trying to reveal. Just as Babylon was rebuilt and then fallen due to pride,
Jerusalem was to be rebuilt and stand for eternity. Though we will find it was
rebuilt physically again, God’s shekinah presence of glory was present as
before due to the proximity of Pagans nearby due to the 2520 curse;
moreover, the city later fell again in 70 AD after the people rejected the
Messiah—their Deliverer. Yet He will still fulfill His promise to gather spiritual
Israel to return to everlasting Jerusalem which He has already rebuilt. What
we are waiting for are His people to return to Him in response to His loud cry
of mercy! The Day of Deliverance will not come until He has a united body
conformed into His perfect image, an emblem of what all generations could
become had they this message and the power which attends it.
The rebuilding of Jerusalem was slow due to a religious stupor. It took
three decrees over a span of many decades before serious building work
began. King Cyrus gave the first decree in 536 BC: “Now in the first year of
Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah
might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that
he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and [put it] also in
writing, saying, thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, the LORD God of heaven hath
given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him
an house at Jerusalem, which [is] in Judah” (Ezra 1:1, 2). Then came the one
given by King Darius: “Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the
elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God. I Darius have made
a decree; let it be done with speed” (6:8, 12). The third was given by
Artaxerxes in the Autumn of 457 BC: “And there went up [some] of the
children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and
the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of
Artaxerxes the king. And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which
[was] in the seventh year of the king. And whatsoever more shall be needful
for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow
[it] out of the king's treasure house. And I, [even] I Artaxerxes the king, do
make a decree to all the treasurers which [are] beyond the river, that
whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall
require of you, it be done speedily” (7: 7, 8, 20, 21). “And the elders of the
Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the
prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished [it],
according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the
commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia” (6:14).
The work of rebuilding the temple of Jerusalem ended in 411 BC, 46 years
after the decree of Artaxerxes, and yet further work remained to restore the
walls and streets. As we will later see, this foreshadows the work of
rebuilding the spiritual temple at the end of the 2520 line that contains
Jerusalem. First though, let us look at some more evidence to this 46 year
gap and see how it will lead us into the complete sequence of time prophecy
so that we can later better understand the loud cry message to come out of
spiritual Babylon and join in the work of building spiritual Jerusalem.
Let us go back in time to where we started: when Moses went into the
Mount with God to receive instructions on how to build the first earthly
sanctuary which would contain the Holy Law in the Ark of the Covenant. You
see, the Sanctuary explains the gospel in every type that Christ would fulfill
in antitype. The Sabbath is the portal between the gospel and the law. First,
sacrifices are made at the brazen alter in the courtyard; this designates our
repentance—our willful turning away from sins through the desires God gives
us—and confession of those sins (see Prov. 27:13). Next, the High Priest,
representing Jesus, would carry inside the sanctuary the blood of the
sacrifice; but before he could do this, he had to wash himself with water at
the laver—this represents how Jesus cleanses us from our sins as promised in
His Word in both mercy and command. Inside the sanctuary, the High Priest
brought blood from the Courtyard sacrifices and incense to the Golden Altar
of Incense, thus denoting the sacrifice of Jesus in our behalf, giving the water
the virtues to cleanse us. As the incense of His perfect righteousness atones
for our confessed sins and combines with our prayers which His Spirit
perfects before they reach the Heavenly Sanctuary, a splendid perfume
reaches God the Father so that He sees only righteousness. Next, we have
the same Candlestick as we described earlier being the union of the Holy
Spirit and the Church for the latter to be the spiritual temple conformed into
the perfect image of God. Finally, in the Most Holy Place of the Sanctuary,
the cleansing of the temple took place where once a year the High Priest
would cleanse it from all the sins that came in through the sacrifices
throughout the previous year. This part will be covered in more detail later
as we see its connection with the cry to finish the work of restoring spiritual
Jerusalem so that Jesus can finally come.
The whole experience we described is the Sabbath experience of Jesus
giving us rest from our sins, others finding that rest through His character
glorified in us, and finally His eternal rest in abiding with us who He loves so
dearly: “And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among
them” (Ex. 25:8). This Fourth commandment, in the very heart of the
Sanctuary captures the light of the whole salvation experience outside of the
Ark of the Covenant, mixes it with the rest of the Law inside the Ark, and
shines brighter than ever back to the bowl of the Candlestick—again,
representing the heart of every true believer. This is really the temporal lobe
of the mind where we make decisions and where God’s Spirit communicates
to us at. God gave Moses the third decree ever given to keep the Sabbath
while in the Mount; the first time being at Creation week and the second
when He thunderously spoke from the same Mount. The actual command,
connecting it with creation (Ex. 31:17) and sanctification (Ex. 31:13), was
given plainly and also in symbol at where the human heart is: “And thou
shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and grave upon it, [like] the engravings of
a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead,
that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of
Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his
forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD” (Ex. 28:36, 38).
Notice that Aaron represented both Jesus and the people in that the Sabbath
is the Lord’s gift to the people whereby the people find rest from their sins
while Jesus bears them.
Jeremiah later uses the same terminology in giving the loud cry to us
being in the wilderness between the sin of Egypt and the holiness of
Heavenly Canaan—the cry to live under the blood-stained banner of Jesus
who gives us rest and not to the spiritual leaders under the sun-deception
banner of Babylon. “Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, thus
saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine
espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land [that was]
not sown. Israel: holiness unto the LORD. The priests said not, where [is]
the LORD? And they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also
transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked
after [things that] do not profit. Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith
the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead. For my people have
committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters,
[and] hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water” (Jer.
2:2, 3, 8, 9, 13). “Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. Follow peace with all [men], and
holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord” (Matt. 11:28; Heb.
12:14). Experiences with the idols of sin are harmful and only glorify Satan.
They may appear attractive but Jesus is much more lovely when you really
get to know Him.
Start your holy communion with Jesus today as Moses had in the Mount
for 40 days (Ex. 24:18). Happiness is only possible through holiness. Using a
day for a year, 40 years represents a generation, or a lifetime. Therefore,
sanctification unto holiness is a work of a lifetime and is done through
surrender and communion with God in prayer and Bible study, which are
essentially the Sabbath experience. “Fear God, and keep his
commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man. For God shall bring
every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or
whether [it be] evil. For ye know what commandments we gave you by the
Lord Jesus. This is the will of God, [even] your sanctification” (Eccl. 12:13,
14; Thess. 4:2, 3). The loud cry of the Third Angel’s Message in Revelation
14 gives the same decree for holiness after warning us of the frightening
results of receiving instead the counterfeit mark on head or hand: “Here is
the patience of the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of
God, and the faith of Jesus” (v. 12). Jesus gives us the faith of mind
necessary to produce the works of the hands of love as we choose to
manifest a patient rest in Him. Anything short of this salvational
Sabbath/Sanctuary experience will not suffice in the Judgment. The 6 days
(Ex. 24:16) Moses was in the Mount before communing with God for the 40
signifies our 6 days of the week, especially the exciting sixth, to prepare for
the Sabbath Day of precious communion with our Lord. Also, it has taken
humanity six millennia to prepare for the imminent glorious seventh
millennial Sabbath in heaven. You can study what we just covered in Exodus
24 through 31—watch for spiritual meanings.
The 46 days of Moses was only prophetical for the 46 years of
rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem. We also find an interesting conversation
Jesus had regarding these things. “Jesus answered and said unto them,
destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews,
forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in
three days? But he spake of the temple of his body” (Jn. 2:19-21). The
Jews understood that the temple in Jerusalem was built in 46 years. This
started after the third decree to build it. Yes, there were three decrees, but
why is there three days involved? Keep in mind, these are two separate
things.
Daniel gives a long prophetic period of 2300 days, which again will use
the day-for-a-year principle. An event at the end is given but no starting
time. “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary
be cleansed” (Dan. 8:14). His vision ends because it is too much for him to
take; however, it resumes again later when another prophetic time is given—
70 weeks. Let us view it in its entirety and then seek to understand it.
“Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy
city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to
seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore
and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to
restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince [shall
be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be
built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after
threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself:
and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of
the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant
with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause
the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of
abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and
that determined shall be poured upon the desolate” (Dan. 9:24-27).
Now we have the starting point: the beginning of rebuilding the temple
which we know happened in 457 BC. We also see that the time is divided up:
first seven, then 62, and finally one. In connection with the first seven we
see that the streets and walls are rebuilt. Again, using the day-for-a-year
principle, the first week would be 49 years, the same number of years that
comes before a Jubilee. Since the temple was built in 46, what does that
leave us with? Three! Keep this thought in mind as we will study it later—
what happened back then only foreshadows a much greater work to rebuild
spiritual Jerusalem’s walls. “But he spake of the temple of his body.”
Prophecies often have double or triple fulfillments. The second and most
obvious and literal fulfillment is Jesus being dead for three different days.
Let prophetical time bring us here.
After the seven weeks there are 62 weeks. Toward the end, “when the
fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son” (Gal. 4:4). It is the
final week of years that we want to carefully examine. This brings us to 27
AD. This is the 15th year of Pontius Pilate’s reign (see Lk. 3:1) and the year
that Jesus was baptized. “We have found the Messias, which is, being
interpreted, the Anointed” (Jn. 1:41, margin). “God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power” (Acts 10:38). “Now when all
the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized,
and praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy Ghost descended in a
bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which
said, thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased” (Lk. 3:21, 22).
Thus, the prophecy is fulfilled as the 70th week unfolds, and the Messiah
says: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye,
and believe the gospel. Come ye after me” (Mk. 1:15, 17; see also Matt.
3:15).

CHAPTER 7: MESSIAH SEALS HIS VISION TO HEAL HUMANITY

The 70th week of the 70 week prophecy seals all the other time
prophecies as it is in the midst of them; and yet, in the midst of this week the
seal is placed; it is just like the Law being in the midst of the Sanctuary and
the Sabbath in the midst of the Law. The Perfect Lamb is provided to repair
the breach of sin between man and God so that the Spiritual Temple can be
restored at the end of prophetic time in His later Sanctuary work as we will
see. The 70th week undoes the 70 years of Babylonian captivity which sealed
the 2520 curse resulting from the Sabbath breach—and this second of two
70’s [677 BC to 607 BC and 607 BC to 537 BC] represents the breaking of
God’s perfect covenant and His judgment for doing so, while the one 70th
week represents the one Jesus to repair it all through His sinless life! This
came from His choice to keep the Sabbath covenant with the Father
continuously His whole life so that His Messiahship would be the means to
restore everlasting righteousness to the universe in a perfectly just way.
Only God who created the law could fulfill the life and death required to
obliterate sin!
3 ½ years passed by as our Loving Example lived a life of service on
this earth. However, prophecy must take place. He must suffer and die
though it was the most extreme struggle. This, being “the midst of the
week” is when our Saviour bore our sins to die of a broken heart. As His
blood was pouring out and the earth shaking and the sun darkening, “Jesus
had cried with a loud voice; he said, Father, into thy hands I commend
my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost” (Lk. 23:46). It is His
same loud cry of love to the fallen race. He is calling for us to make the
same Sabbath sacrifice as He did: resting our life completely in the hands of
God. “The veil of the temple was rent in the midst” (v. 45) thus causing the
oblation of sacrifices of animals in the earthly sanctuary with associated
feasts, annual Sabbaths, and new moons to cease and never return as also
prophesied by Isaiah (1:13) and Hosea (2:11). These ordinances that were
against our Old Testament ancestors due to their debt of sins were now paid
off in full to those who manifested faith and obedience (read Col. 2:14-17).
Shadow met Substance in the perfect life of Christ to bear the weight
of sins of the whole world, thus making full salvation available to any man,
woman, or child in any situation. All we need on our part is the Sabbath
surrender of all our ways to Him who is “the way, the truth, and the life” (Jn.
14:6). “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen. Here is the patience of the saints: here [are] they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Heb. 11:1;
Rev. 14:12). We have nothing to give up except our selfish thoughts and
motives since He owns everything we have, even our very lives. Any
unloving philosophical Jesus who either OK’s sin so that it will never be
destroyed as people eternally suffer in their sins or who is exclusive to who
He chooses into the kingdom, must be crucified in our heart so that the real
Jesus can be resurrected as He literally was after the Sabbath Day, being the
sign of His surrender of life. He has predestinated everyone to be saved
(read II Pet. 3:9-12), but He will force no one to surrender—we must choose
Him or else He died in vain since He died for every single individual.
We can only heal from our mortal wounds of sin by the healing
wounds of Jesus—His faith of self crucified, God glorified! This is the
Substance, the living faith required for the hope of glory: this Lord of Life
coming in to live His righteousness in us. “I call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and
cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: that
thou mayest love the LORD thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey his
voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he [is] thy life!”
(Deut. 30:19, 20). Do you not hear Jesus giving the loud cry of the third
angel? “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is
my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world ... Verily, verily, I say
unto you, except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye
have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath
eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat
indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh
my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. For the life of the flesh [is] in the
blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an
atonement for your souls. It is written, man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”
(Jn. 6:51, 53-56; Lev. 17:11; Matt. 4:4). Faith (in His blood/sacrifice of His
perfect flesh/life) + Obedience (submission to His cleansing Word) = LOVE
(in our flesh; bread/life to us, heavenly manna)!
The Sabbath Day Christ lay in the grave was a High Sabbath, the
Passover Sabbath. Watch how the shadow meets the Substance: “Your lamb
shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take [it] out from
the sheep, or from the goats: and ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day
of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel
shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike [it] on
the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they
shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and
unleavened bread; [and] with bitter [herbs] they shall eat it” (Ex. 12:5-8).
Jesus lived a life without blemish. His life blood applied to us by His faith
justifies us (Hab. 2:4), not to keep on sinning, but to live out His life. The
flesh, unleavened bread, and water are inseparable: it is His pure life lived in
His flesh transferred to our flesh through His blood—Christ in us. He is as
unchanging as a Rock: “Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed
out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? Can he provide
flesh for his people” (Ps. 78:20). He provides as we believe [will to live] His
Word, which defines who Jesus is—His very thoughts. When our faith is
genuine, His Word (water) will do what it says as His Spirit lives it in us
because of the blood He provided—then every promise and command will
perform as it is stated. Bitter sacrifice is part of the love involved before its
peace can come. We must experience the full love of Jesus; His faith and
obedience combined.
What will result when the waters of the latter rain gush out as the
Church as a whole responds to the loud cry message? We, as the body of
Christ, full of oil from the two olive trees, will shine our light of righteousness
to the whole world from the same places that He Himself poured out blood
and water just before Passover Sabbath. His Sabbath sacrifice (blood) gives
us Sabbath rest which we receive as we come out and rest from our own
thoughts (head/heart) and actions (hands) to His living Word (waters).
Watch how the blood and water turns into bright light when the faith of
Jesus becomes ours as we live the testimony of Jesus as given by prophets
John and Habakkuk: “But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side,
and forthwith came there out blood and water. And he that saw [it] bare
record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye
might believe. This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ;
not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth
witness, because the Spirit is truth. And there are three that bear witness in
earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is
in his Son. The just shall live by His faith.” (Jn. 19:34, 35; I Jn. 5:6, 8, 11;
Hab. 2:4). Do you see it? The water, blood, and water are all from the same
Source—JESUS! It is His same life manifested in different ways. The spear
went into His side to His heart and the crown of thorns was places on His
head—this is His faith. His hands and feet were nailed to the cross—this is
His testimony, the record that He loves us infinitely! “Here [are] they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And the dragon was
wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus
Christ; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. And this is love,
that we walk” with our feet “after his commandments” (Rev. 14:12; 12:17;
19:10; II Jn. 1:6). “And [his] brightness was as the light; he had bright
beams coming out of his side … [regular KJV says “his hand;” both
accurately testify] … and there [was] the hiding of his power. For the
earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as
the waters cover the sea” (Hab. 3:4, margin; 2:14).
What does Prophet Isaiah say regarding this knowledge in God’s living
Word? “Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the LORD
revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root
out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see
him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and
rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as
it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem
him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he [was] wounded for our
transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our
peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like
sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the
LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was
afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the
slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his
mouth. He [the Father] shall see of the travail of his [Jesus’] soul, [and] shall
be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify
many; for he shall bear their iniquities” (53:1-7, 11).
“Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice
of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it [even] to the end of the earth; say ye,
The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob. And they thirsted not [when] he
led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the
rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Say ye not, A confederacy, to all [them to] whom this people shall say, a
confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of
hosts himself; and [let] him [be] your fear, and [let] him [be] your dread. And
he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of
offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the
inhabitants of Jerusalem” … because they have … “forgotten the God of thy
salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength. And a man
shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as
rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the
stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly. Hearken to me, ye that
follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the
rock [whence] ye are hewn” (48:20, 21; 8:12-14; 17:10; 32:2, 4; 51:1).
Finally, Prophet Ezekiel says regarding Him, “Now when I passed by thee,
and looked upon thee, behold, thy time [was] the time of love; and I spread
my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and
entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest
mine. Then washed I thee with water; yea, I thoroughly washed
away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil” (16:8, 9).
You see, friend, Christ was wounded for your transgressions because
He loves you and you are His. His love pouring forth from His wounds covers
your wounds—your imperfect faith and works become His perfect faith and
works—only as you continually abide in His Sabbath covenant of love. As
you do, the blood and water will become light and radiate from within you
and you will glorify Him. His unattractive life having “no form nor
comeliness” and ending in shame will become glorified in you. You will
become an Elijah prophet giving the testimony of Jesus and His law of love
[Moses] because of faith in Him—His knowledge will then be available to all
those around you so that more can experience His rest! We must escape the
confederacies of Babylon with all of its idolatrous broken cisterns of worldly
knowledge and experiences which cannot quench the thirst! We need Jesus!
In His wounds is the hiding of power! He will cover us like as a Rock from the
seven last plagues that will soon be coming to this earth for all those who
choose to stay in Babylon—those who choose to serve a counterfeit godhead
with a counterfeit sabbath of restlessly coveting idols—all because they
thought worldly things would satisfy their longing thirsts. His wrathful anger
for sin which has been building up for many millennia will pass over us
because of what He accomplished on Calvary’s Passover about two millennia
ago.
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge
and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from
the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover
thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall
be thy] shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
[nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day; [nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh
in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday. A thousand
shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not
come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward
of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge,
[even] the most High, thy habitation; there shall no evil befall thee, neither
shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge
over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” Then Jesus says to us, “Because
[you] hath set [your] love upon me, therefore will I deliver [you]: I
will set [you] on high, because [you] hath known my name. [You]
shall call upon me, and I will answer [you]: I [will be] with [you] in
trouble; I will deliver [you], and honour [you]. With long life will I
satisfy him, and show him my salvation” (Ps. 91).
We, with this vast knowledge, have a debt show this salvation to
others! We are to heal others with the wounds they give us. He wants to
hew us as living stones out of Himself to be built up into His glory—revealing
to all the wondrous beauty and power of His love! Do not be a virgin
[professed Christian] foolishly lacking a fresh supply of oil, but take in His
Spirit and His Word, yea His very life, and shine it bright until He comes for
His Bride People re-created perfectly into His image—the trophy of all
generations to what mankind can become when His life in its purity comes
into the flesh of man! “[There is] treasure to be desired and oil in the
dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. He that followeth after
righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour” (Prov.
21:20, 21; study also Matt. 25). Thus, we have seen a second reflection of
the vision of Jesus, but later in a third and final time, we will reveal the vision
in the completeness God desires us to have at this time. The Second Advent
of Christ on Resurrection Day when His dead people will be raised to life
must wait until the hope of glory—when He is spiritually resurrected in His
living people in the fullest sense.
Before we return to our prophetic time, let us step back and put these
things into perspective by looking at the four dispensations: the Old and New
Testament times, the seventh millennium, and future eternity. Jesus also
uses four decrees to declare His work to begin a new dispensation after the
old one is done, or finished; and they are all connected with a Sabbath. The
first Sabbath decree is: “thus the heavens and the earth were finished,
and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which
he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he
had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that
in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made” (Gen. 2:1-
3). We have previously seen that the Sabbath Day is a sign of God’s
creation (Ex. 31:17). This is also connected in a larger sense with revelation.
This earth was created with the purpose of revealing to the whole universe
the character of God so that all could see its contrast with the works of
darkness. Hence, using the day-for-a-thousand-years principle (given
shortly), God has been revealing this purpose for roughly 6000 years, and on
the seventh millennium, the earth will rest.
We have just covered the timing of the second decree that begins the
New Testament: “When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, it
is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The Jews
therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain
upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,)
besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be
taken away” (Jn. 19:30, 31). We have previously seen that the Sabbath Day
is a sign of redemption as Jesus works both to justify and sanctify us in
saving us from our fallen condition of sin (Ex. 31:13; Rev. 14:8). The Old
Testament ceremonies were done away with as the veil in the earthly
sanctuary was “rent in twain.” Then Jesus rested on the Sabbath Day, which
was also the Passover Sabbath since He is the ultimate Passover Lamb. This
decree also opened the way for Christ to be the High Priest for the New
Testament. Thus, He fulfills the Old Testament types.
The third decree is yet future and proceeds at the close of probation
when His priestly work of atoning for confessed and repented of sins is done:
“And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a
great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, it is done.
And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great
earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an
earthquake, [and] so great. And the great city was divided into three parts,
and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance
before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his
wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And
there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, [every stone] about the
weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the
hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.” “He that is unjust, let him
be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is
righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man
according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the
end, the first and the last. Blessed [are] they that do his commandments,
that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the
gates into the city” (Rev. 16:17-21; 22:11-14). Does this not sound familiar
to the Third Angel’s Message?
This dispensation that the third decree heralds is also known as the
Day of the Lord as it includes judgmental events just prior to, during, and
after the seventh millennium of the earth’s history. You may want to review
again Revelation 20. It begins with the seven last plagues and ends with the
final destruction of the wicked. The Flood was a mild foretaste of this period,
and since we are now just months away from this day, we must be vigilant
and not give into the people that scoff at us for our peculiar faith. Inspired
Peter looks forward to our time and puts it all into perspective for us:
“knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking
after their own lusts, saying, where is the promise of his coming? For since
the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning
of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of
God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in
the water: whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water,
perished: but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word
are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and
perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing,
that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as
one day. Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as
a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing] then [that] all these things
shall be dissolved, what manner [of persons] ought ye to be in [all] holy
conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the
day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his
promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth
righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be
diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out
of darkness into his marvellous light” (II 3:3-14; I 2:9).
By this time, Christ will be seen in His Church in His fullness because
these saints had the fullness of the Sabbath, which mixes the two golden oils
into one bowl. The law is perfectly sealed in the mind and heart [being the
head, the bowl] through the grace of Christ they accepted by faith by
hearing the everlasting gospel, thus creating perfect love. It is called
righteousness by faith as demonstrated in the Three Angel’s Messages and
proclaimed loudly by the Fourth! They will no longer need the intercessory
work of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, because the Spirit of Christ is in its
fullness in the human sanctuary! On the other hand, the unjust, or filthy,
people suffer the seven last plagues because either their head [faith without
works (James 2:10-26!)] or hand [works without faith (Rom. 3:20-31!)] was
marked by the counterfeit Sabbath. They received the oil of fools’ gold of
the sun and not the genuine from the heart of Jesus! This fools’ gold is the
wine of Babylon, which is spiritualism [Satan in man through coveting idols];
as a result, they receive the wine of God’s wrath in the form of plagues, and
after the millennium, the lake of fire which will kill them causing their eternal
death. As for the righteous and holy who kept the commandments,
especially the Sabbath, the Second Coming of Christ which will usher the
Seventh Millennial Sabbath in heaven where the tree of life and the city of
New Jerusalem are, will only be days away from the third decree.
This same decree is revealed by Ezekiel which shows how God’s people
had been gathered from their 2520’s of captivity and then filled with His
Spirit, thus revealing the glory of His character (name) amidst extreme
darkness of evil nations, foreshadowed by Gog and Magog who must receive
judgment. “Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus
saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I [am] against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of
Meshech and Tubal … And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that
dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD. So will
I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not
[let them] pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I
[am] the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. Behold, it is come, and it is done,
saith the Lord GOD; this [is] the day whereof I have spoken … And I will set
my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment
that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. So the house
of Israel shall know that I [am] the LORD their God from that day and forward
… When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out
of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many
nations; then shall they know that I [am] the LORD their God, which caused
them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them
unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. Neither will
I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the
house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD” (Ch. 39).
The fourth decree for the fourth dispensation comes after the Seventh
Millennial Sabbath and ushers the final, eternal Jubilee whereby the entire
universe is freed from sin, thus sealing Sabbatical rest for eternity. It is
similar to the 4th Angel’s Message in that it contains the effects of the first
three decrees, with the third one emphasized the most. The first three
decrees [both for the dispensations and Messages] are (1)
Revelation/Creation (of God’s image love); (2) Redemption (from man’s
fallen state) and (3) Restoration (of God’s image of love). Here we will see
the restoration that began with the Seventh Millennial Sabbath but to be
perfectly completed in the Jubilee. It is the Perfect Sabbath rest as
underlined below since it emphasizes the perfect presence of God and the
perfect absence of the effects of sin, since all of the poor wicked have been
killed. “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall
remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another [likely the
High Sabbath of every four when the Tree of Life bears fruit (see Rev. 22:2)],
and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me,
saith the LORD.” “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great
voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and
he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall
be with them, [and be] their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he
said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto
me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will
give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that
overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my
son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the
second death” (Is. 66:22, 23; Rev. 21:1-8). The devil’s three elements that
counteract the true—(1) Deception; (2) Division; and (3) Destruction—will be
all through. Praise our wonderful God! And these satanic elements may be
broken now in individuals through Sabbath rest.
We return to prophecy and start where we left off—the very beginning
of the second dispensation [New Testament era]. 3 ½ years of the 70th week
still remains. It ends in 34 AD. Keep in mind that the 70 week prophecy is
probation of God’s judgment for the Old Testament Jews—the time he would
give them as a nation to totally repent and stay that way starting when He
allowed their temple to be rebuilt. It never happened. The Jews could have
heeded outpouring of His Spirit in the early rain Pentecost 50 days after His
death, with His people giving His testimony, just as when He was here in His
loving Person. However, their people as a whole rejected both
manifestations of His glory because of their pride and arrogance. The
prophecy He gave in Matthew 24, just before the foolish virgins parable, of
the destruction of Jerusalem could have been conditional like that of
Ninevah; however, the majority of God’s chosen people remained foolish.
Hence, the same temple that started the 70 week prophecy was allowed to
be destroyed in 70 AD, within one generation of the closing of the 70 weeks.
A similar, but much worse scenario, is in store for foolish “Christians” today
in the coming months since the two judgments of Jerusalem’s destruction
and seven last plagues intertwine inside of one prophecy in that chapter.
What happened in 34 AD is that the gospel stopped going out to
primarily the Jews and instead to the gentiles. Stephen, a follower of Christ,
shined with His glory just as we will if we remain true and faithful through the
tumultuous times ahead (see Acts 6:15). Since He was in the glory of Jesus,
the Jews killed him just as they did his Master (see 7:59). This was in that
year and officially closed the 70 weeks. Individual Jews then, as well as
today, have still come to the Messiah for salvation; but from that day forward
their privileges as an earthly nation ceased until spiritual Israel in the near
future will be restored into God’s kingdom of Canaan. Just after this
martyrdom, Peter had a vision concerning clean and unclean meats, thus
representing that the Gentiles, not meats, should not be considered unclean.
“When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God,
saying, then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life”
(11:18). This is also counsel for today’s evangelism efforts as everyone has
potential to be grafted into the Living Vine of life.

CHAPTER 8: 2300 & 2520 END, ISRAEL REVIVES, VISION TARRIES

Now that we have gleaned what we can from the 70 weeks itself, recall
that it gave us the starting time of a much longer time prophecy—2300
years—which from 457 BC brings us to 1844 AD. Keep in mind the other
prophecies that end at this time as well, including Judah’s 2520 year line.
Recall that the 46 year breach from 1798, when the 1260/1290 years and
Samaria’s 2520 year line ended, also ran to this year. What does this all
mean? “Jesus answered and said unto them, destroy this temple, and in
three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, forty and six years was
this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake
of the temple of his body” (Jn. 2:19-21). “And he said unto them, go ye,
and tell that fox, behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and
to morrow, and the third [day] I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I
must walk to day, and to morrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be
that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest
the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I
have gathered thy children together, as a hen [doth gather] her brood under
[her] wings, and ye would not” (Lk. 13:32-34)! “Come, and let us return unto
the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and
he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day
he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, [if]
we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning;
and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter [and] former
rain unto the earth. O Ephraim [Samaria], what shall I do unto thee? O
Judah, what shall I do unto thee? For your goodness [is] as a morning cloud,
and as the early dew it goeth away” (Hos. 6:1-4). Let us carefully analyze
these statements for awhile. Until 1844, the Three Angels’ Messages in
Revelation 14 were closed to human understanding, as were most of Daniel
and Revelation. God rose up a movement prior to it called the Millerite, or
Advent, movement since those in it, including the prominent voice of William
Miller, expected the Second Advent of Christ to close in 1844. Recall the
following statement that came from the reference we used for the 70 weeks:
“and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the
sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and unto the end of
the war desolations are determined” (Dan. 9:26). Thus, we have two
desolations: the first was Pagan Rome destroying Jerusalem in 70 AD and the
second was Papal Rome trying to desolate the temple of commandment-
keeping Christians. Recall that the two 1260 years making up Samaria’s line
represent these two desolating powers. Revelation 12 describes the battle
between these Christians and Rome. Study it now! The dragon is the
serpent working through the desolating powers to destroy the “man child”
who is Jesus and is being born in spiritual Mary—“the woman,” Christ’s Bride,
His Temple. Thus, the literal Mary, who used to be Christ’s mother,
foreshadows a much greater reality, a pattern we find throughout the Bible.
Just as Satan worked through the Pagan Roman soldiers to kill baby Jesus by
killing all of the Hebrew baby boys so that He could not be Messiah, he also
worked through Papal Rome to persecute commandment-keepers who were
trying to form Christ’s character within during the 1260 year of tribulation.
Many of them, like the Waldenses, escaped into wilderness areas.
“The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples,
and multitudes, and nations, and tongues” (Rev. 17:15); therefore, the earth
would be an uninhabited place to European standards. “And the serpent
cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause
her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and
the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon
cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went
to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments
of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ” (12:15-17). The flood of
persecution became so torrential that many Christians escaped to the United
States of America—the “earth,” the new world, founded in 1776. Persecution
then suddenly ended as initiates of Satan had more important interests
develop as they envisioned potential to develop their own agenda in this new
land. We will see this clearer when we examine the final onslaught of 666
which is the third desolating power.
William Miller, living in the U.S., and many others independently of him
around the world of different faiths and backgrounds, studied some of the
same prophecies we have been learning. However, instead of expecting the
time lines to end in 1844, they came to 1843 simply because they did not
realize that no year zero is situated between 1 BC and 1 AD, thus the need to
add a year after subtracting 457 from 2300. Since the 1260 and 1290 years
did not require crossing this boundary, they accurately identified 1798 on
their time chart. 1335 years (Dan. 12:12) simply starts when the 1290 does
and includes the 1260 dark years in it, thus ending in 1843. Now why does
the Bible not say 1336 years instead so that it could end in 1844? It is
because God knows all things and He foresaw the errors which Adventists
would make in calculating time, including the fact that Biblically they were
not to try to figure out “the day nor the hour” of Christ’s Second Advent.
Jesus warned of this in the very parable that would get them through this
waiting time in the first place—the Parable of the Ten Virgins of Matthew 25
which was hidden from their view until the seven thunders uttered the
mystery afterwards. These thunders also reveal a much larger error that
was made. This is of great interest to us and we will have to see many
things to develop it.
They uncovered the seven seals and seven trumpets as they studied
historical and current events in the light of Revelation. We will only look at
the sixth and seventh of these in more detail, but if you would like to study
these and other prophecies in Revelation in depth, try the book “Story of the
Seer of Patmos” by Stephen Haskell. Let us see how the attributes of Rome
tie in to the 3 days (1 for a thousand years) that go with the 46 days (1 for 1
year) using three witnesses. “Behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible,
and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in
pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it.” “And in the latter time
of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce
countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.” “And his
power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy
wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty
and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to
prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify [himself] in his heart, and by
peace shall destroy many” (Dan. 7:7; 8:23-25). Though Rome anciently
existed, it became a world empire in 168 B.C. and would plague God’s
people with three desolations in its three different phases in three different
millennia.
Thus, we see the attributes of its destructive nature, tearing at God’s
people with “great iron teeth” in all of its pride. It was also like a fox, in that
it loves the dark and professes to be peaceful. This was no ordinary fox,
however. Rome pridefully persecuted all who protested against her
mischievous agenda throughout all the 1260 dark years. However, in the
third millennium Christ promises to heal the wounds Rome gave His Spiritual
Body with His own bodily wounds caused from Pilate and Herod (see Lk. 13).
Yet, it was really the Jews that allowed the Romans to wound both Bodies.
The 2520 curse, because of the Sabbath breach the Jews made, caused the
Romans to have power; furthermore, the Jews turned in Jesus, their loving
Redeemer, to the Roman authorities to be killed. “Why criest thou for
thine affliction? Thy sorrow [is] incurable for the multitude of thine
iniquity: [because] thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto
thee. Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine
adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil
thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. For I
will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds,
saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, [saying], this [is]
Zion, whom no man seeketh after” (Jer. 30:15-17).
The healing, the cleansing of the Humanly and Heavenly Sanctuaries,
is prophesied to take place in the third day, especially as the latter rain pours
out with tears of healing compassion from the loud cry. “Go ye, and tell that
fox, behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the
third [day] I shall be perfected” (Lk. 13:32). Thus, Jesus physically healed
people in the first day after Rome during the time of the first desolating
power who used the 666 amulet sun-seal, as well as by making His healing
virtues available to all mankind through His perfect sacrifice; then, at the end
of the second day, He used America to heal the saints from the persecution
under the 1260 years of the second desolating power who used the 666 seal
of Vicarius filii dei; and now in the third day, He wants to perfectly heal us so
that we are sealed into His perfect image and not by that of the third
desolating power containing the former two that are healed from their
wounds. This confederate power (USA) forms the third and final 666, bearing
the same golden image of the first but enforcing its worship on the world in a
new way warned of by the Third Angel’s Message! Such is the great
controversy. Perfect health comes through perfect conformity to God’s
eternal laws, which only comes through His grace—the Sabbath rest that He
offers us from sins that wounded us to make us ill! It is a continual choice—
either to magnify our hearts with sun-gold Babylonian pride and thinking we
are fine the way we are, or to be meek and lowly in heart to receive our
much needed rest. And so the two stones of law cry out to us today
to be healed back into one—with Sabbath love in the willing human
heart, the love received from above as made manifest in the very
cry to receive it! The tears eagerly received cannot fail to heal!
Then tears of pain will become tears of compassion, for the
compassion thus received …
“And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the
great is fallen, is fallen. Come out of her, my people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Jesus
stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me,
and drink. Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for
I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light. Ho, every one that
thirsteth, come ye to the waters ... [Why] do ye spend money for
that which is] not bread? and … labour for [that which] satisfieth
not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good,
and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear, and come
unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an
everlasting covenant with you. For my thoughts [are] not your
thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For [as]
the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than
your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain
cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither,
but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it
may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall my
word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto
me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall
prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy,
and be led forth with peace” (Rev. 18:2, 4; Jn. 7:37; Matt. 11:28-30; Is.
55:1-3. 8-12).
Now we will examine why gaps of time exist between the sixth and
seventh seals and trumpets in Revelation. Most scholars agree that 6000
years from Creation would have ended before now. The best reasoning puts
the end of this time in the early to mid part of the 19 th Century since 450
years are accounted for between Joshua and Samuel (see Acts 13:30), thus
invalidating the claim that Christ’s birth was 4000 years after Creation which
only allows for around 300 years instead of 450. The seventh millennium did
not begin, therefore, when the 6000 years ended. We are in a breach of
time between the several intervals of six and seven; it cannot last. Keep in
mind that six represents imperfect man and seven represents God and His
perfect rest. It is only logical to conclude that the three millennia since
Rome and seven millennia since Creation align with the first and second
being the fifth and sixth, respectively. It is in the third millennium that the
seventh is held off until the healing and sealing between man and God into
His image is complete as both labor together to enter into the rest of the
seventh millennium during this long, drawn-out waiting time. Unlike with the
physical temple on earth having the three come consecutively after the 46
years to rebuild it, the Spiritual Temple has the 46 contained in the 3 as the
third millennium begins inside of the 46 years; thus, 3 and 46 have already
been added … but we are waiting in overtime for the 49th to take effect
because Satan is still playing the game of life with souls and God is not
willing to give up the battle for His chosen generation of people who will
represent His unbeatable love to all other generations of creation during the
one grand eternal 50 Jubilee.
“Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three
hundred and five and thirty days” (Dan. 12:12). “Here is the patience of
the saints: here [are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the
faith of Jesus” (Rev. 14:12). Those who followed prophecy and made it to the
year 1843 when the 1335 years ended would have to endure through trying
circumstances to be an example for us down the line who will need to do the
same as things re-intensify. As we will see, those who endured were
rewarded with the remarkable light of the everlasting gospel as given in the
Third Angel’s Message—containing many of the things we have been
studying here. However, these were not their expectations and many fell
with Babylon.
You see, just as First-Coming Adventists 2000 years ago were
expecting Jesus to usher His Kingdom of glory, the Second-Coming
Adventists were expecting the same in their time. They were tested to see if
they valued God’s wonderful character as manifested in His gospel and His
law, or if they were just selfishly caught into excitement wanting heaven just
for their own interests. They saw that all the time prophecies were ending in
1843/1844 when “time should be no longer” and how the Judgment would
then come with various other things (read Rev. 20:11, 12; Dan. 7:9-14; 8:14).
Hidden to their view was the fact that the real Sanctuary existed in heaven
and was not this earth itself, except for His Spiritual Temple living on it. In
other words, Christ and His Father [the Ancient of Days] went from the Holy
Place of the Heavenly Sanctuary [where John saw Him at the Candlestick] to
the Most Holy Place where He could cleanse it from the sins that had
continually been coming in since Pentecost 1800 years prior—study Hebrews
8 and 9 in comparison to Leviticus 16. This was only the end of prophetic
time but not real time. This is when the first phase of the Judgment began,
thus the warning of the First Angel’s Message, “Fear God, and give glory to
him; for the hour of his judgment is come” which first went out nine
prophetic days before this time—we will see the significance of this in a
moment.
Let us do a quick study on the Judgment: the phases and the books.
The cleansing of the Heavenly Sanctuary involves blotting out of names and
sins; most importantly, it involves Christ’s merciful and longsuffering blood-
work to make it all happen. The Ancient of Days stands as judge while the
24 elders and many angels are jury. The trial continues to this day. Those
who have at any time responded to Jesus favorably will have their names
recorded in the Book of Life (see Lk. 10:19, 20; Phil. 4:3); those otherwise will
not be recorded (see Rev. 13:18; 17:8; Ps. 1:5, 6). Those who fall away and
never repent will have their names blotted out and transferred to the Book of
Death [or, the Earth] (see Ex. 32:33; Jer. 17:13) when their names come up
in this first phase of the Judgment. The latter two groups will be in the
resurrection of the wicked [after the seventh millennium] (see Is. 4:3,
margin; Ps. 69:28; Dan. 12:1). The book that determines one’s standing is
the Book of Remembrance where every good or evil deed is recorded with
the thoughts and motives that prompted the actions (see Mal. 3:16-18; Ps.
56:8; Rom. 2:1-6; I Cor. 4:5; Matt. 12:36). This should be a sobering thought
as we realize that every moment we are being recorded. Is there anyone
else like God who loves us so much that He cares how we are thinking and
feeling all the time? God wants us saved and happy. The Ten
Commandments Law is the standard (see Rom. 2:1-16; Jas. 2:12; 4:7-12).
Those who have repented of all their sins, when their name comes up, will
have their name retained in the Book of Life and their sins blotted out of the
Book of Remembrance (see Rev. 3:5; Acts 3:19); they will be in the
resurrection of life [before the millennium].
During the millennium is the second phase of the Judgment where the
wicked, including angels, are judged by Christ and His people redeemed (see
II Pet. 2:4, 9; I Cor. 6:2, 3; Rev. 20:1-6). All will see why people who they
knew did not make it to heaven, for their motives actions prove that they
would not be happy there and spoil it for others. Just prior to this time,
Satan, fulfilling the role as a scapegoat, will have been given the sins to bear
of all those written in the Book of the Earth. The experience he will have
with his angels, while the wicked people are dead in the grave, will be
boundlessly and painfully lethal due to sin’s very nature multiplied many
times. The third and final phase of the Judgment it the execution of it where
the wicked are given their just penalty after they are resurrected. Their
suffering before their deaths will be relative to their wickedness in terms of
spiritual vision received versus rejected (see Ps. 149:5-9; Mal. 4:1-3; Lk.
12:47-49; Ez. 28:17-19). God wants what is best for every single individual;
the threat of suffering of any form is actually a gift! It is to direct us to our
loving God of Life who does not want us to destroy ourselves in with sins!
Now, back to prophecy. The seven seals describe God’s Church in
periods of time which are distinguished by their condition and relation to the
persecuting power of Rome. The church went from pure, to amalgamated
with Rome, to persecuted by Rome. In the sixth seal we see signs of the end
given in their order, thus sparking the Advent movement. “And I beheld
when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake;
and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as
blood; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth
her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind” (Rev. 6:12, 13). The
earthquake happened in 1755 and is the largest ever known. It impacted
Europe and Northern Africa the worst but was even felt in the Americas; of
course Lisbon had the worst damage. Biblical references to this event
include Joel 3:15, Isaiah 13:10, Amos 8:9, and Ezekiel 32:7. It foreshadows of
the shaking events that are beginning to happen in our time.
Jesus prophesied of the next two events: “But in those days, after that
tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be
shaken” (Mk. 13:24, 25). A similar account is given in Matthew 24. “Those
days” refer to the 1260 years of persecution; however, verse 20 indicates
that the tribulation was shortened. Therefore, the darkening occurred within
the 1260 dark years but after the persecution ended in 1776. History bears
the record! The daylight became night. This was experienced all over
America not even four years after Independence Day—May 19, 1780—and
became known as the Dark Day. No science can explain the mysterious
phenomenon. Again, it portrays the extreme darkness of what is ahead—
Jacob’s time of trouble just before Jesus comes; though shorter than the Dark
Ages, it will be more extreme. “For thus saith the LORD; we have heard a
voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a
man doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on
his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas!
For that day [is] great, so that none [is] like it: it [is] even the time of Jacob's
trouble” (Jer. 30:5-7).
The final event occurred on November 13, 1833 when a Leonids
meteor shower made the appearance of stars falling like a firestorm, unlike
any other witnessed. However, it was more than just the Leonids. Explosive
noises were heard, hundreds of thousands of meteorites could be seen at
any given moment, some stars intensified and remained stationary, and
after the scene was over, many previously known fixed stars were missing!
Just as the Feast of Trumpets came nine days before the Day of Atonement,
this event happened just over nine years prior to when the Adventists first
expected Jesus to come—1843, the close of the 1335 years. It was in August
of 1833 that William Miller started speaking and publishing prophecies that
he predicted to end just over nine years later. This climatical year also
began the third millennium of healing after Rome; however the seventh
millennium will not begin until the stars depart wildly again at the close of
the sixth seal when heaven departs like a scroll.
Though the Advent movement started even before 1833, it did not
become well-known until seven years later in 1840 when the First Angel’s
Message went out with great power. This is when another event happened,
this time relating to the seven trumpets, which, similar to the seven seals,
illustrate periods of time. However, the trumpets indicate judgments on
Rome for her persecuting the Church through the seven seals. During the
first four trumpets, Western Europe gradually developed their own countries
somewhat independent of the Roman Empire. The last three trumpets are
connected with three woes. The first two woes are prompted by Islam
powers, a religion the initiates created with the same Pagan traits of
spiritualism as Rome; this, like the more localized governments of Western
Europe, would serve to keep Protestants suppressed as well as be less
obvious to the people the initiates’ connection to Rome. The initiates behind
the two world religions desired this as literal Bible interpreters have always
been feared by them since deep inside they are afraid of their God just as
their leader, Satan, is. Moreover, though Rome gradually lost her powers
until they were finally suspended in 1798, the initiates behind Rome as well
as the Catholic religion remained strong. Thus, the 1260 years remained
dark for the Protestants as prophesied, and their persecution only increased
over time.
The sixth trumpet with second woe began sounding on July 27, 1449
when the emperor of the Eastern Roman empire died, thus marking the end
of the fifth trumpet and first woe. This woe would continue for “an hour, and
a day, and a month, and a year” (Rev. 9:15), which in prophetical time is 391
years and 15 days. Thus, the Adventists calculated that the woe would end
its sound on Aug. 11, 1840, and so it happened that the Ottoman Empire fell
that day, thus ending Islam’s power in Eastern Europe, though its religion
would remain. Keep in mind that the initiates do not care which of their
religions are professed by people, as long as they are not Bible
“fundamentalists.” They desire to have diversity of religions so that the
Bible religion is counterfeited and hid beneath it all; thus, the reason for the
many denominations. However, their ultimate goal is unity. It is the same
principle of spiritualism that creates a diversity of idols for different interests
to afterwards create unification under the sun god, Satan. The Islamic
fundamentalism of violence is today being used to mock the fundamentals of
the Bible which in reality are the only principles that bring peace, unlike their
mysticism (spiritualism). Plans have been made to usher a third world war,
this time nuclear. It is as if the three world wars mock the three woes that
God sends. Their objective of violence is to make their new age of “peace”
under their centralized government look so attractive—after their induced
violent regimes of communism, atheism, fundamentalism, and nationalism—
that all nations and religions will desire to join. Their far Eastern religions of
Buddhism and Hinduism, having mysticism in the purest sense, are
purposefully kept out of violence to make mysticism seem peaceful and thus
attractive.
The initiates with their leader, Satan, hate the Bible, especially its Ten
Commandments and prophecies pointing to Jesus and His Sabbath rest,
because it condemns their heinous practices of evil and reveals the God they
are afraid to meet. Deep inside they know that they must face God’s
judgment. We know it will be performed under of the seventh trumpet and
its woe of the seven last plagues, the 1000 years of “their” earth’s new order
of desolation, and then their final destruction. Unlike the previous trumpets,
they will know that they have no control over the Power behind it as it begins
—the same Power that they covet to have through the idols of spiritualism.
However, we have already learned that only in the wounds of Jesus is the
“hiding of His power” (Hab. 3:4). To have life, and “have it more
abundantly” (Jn. 10:10), we must rest in His precious love from Satan’s
counterfeit experience; that is true peace! This peace will be experienced in
its fullness by all those who come out of Babylon and become sealed into it
through the Sabbath. So, let us follow through time more prophecies to get
us to this point.
From 1840 onward, due to the precise accuracy of the Adventists’
predictions of trumpets and woes, the message of the Second Coming of
Christ went out universally in America and spread to many other parts of the
world as well. The seventh trumpet was not ready to begin, however; nor did
the time of the sixth trumpet end. Thus, we enter the first waiting period,
which increased in intensity over time. Now that Islam was done threatening
Rome, God would use His own people to in the form of Three Decrees
warning of God’s judgment against Rome. This four year gap between the
end of the second woe (1840) and seventh trumpet (1844) was to also close
the 46 year breach by undoing what caused it over 2520 years prior. The
three decrees to rebuild the physical temple of Jerusalem 2300 years prior
were to do the same for the spiritual temple. The First Decree was that the
commencement of the “judgment is come” (Rev. 14:7); it began to create
revelation of prophecy in many minds. The call went out to all existing
Christian denominations. However, no denomination through 1844 accepted
the fact that Jesus could be coming just months away. They believed it was
fanaticism, but deep inside they felt guilt—they were unprepared for
Judgment, so they used false accusations to hide it.
 In 1842, charts [prophetic tables] were made to illustrate the time
prophecies, many of which they believed to end the next year. This was
seen as a fulfillment of prophecy: “Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon
tables, that he may run that readeth it” (Hab. 2:2). Shortly thereafter, Miller
announced that He believed the end would come in the solar year of 1843
[between the two equinoxes]. As the time progressed throughout that year
many people were converted. Confessions were made and forgiveness was
given. Mysteriously, church members of the various denominations suddenly
waned in their spirituality. God withdrew His presence from these churches.
During this time, no one could explain why immorality suddenly became so
rampant. Morality would never return to what it was. Worldly festivities and
a lack of interest in spiritual things increased; crime grew and led to a lack of
trust in people, resulting in coldness and disconnectedly, only to
progressively worsen until our time. The devoted Adventists, on the other
hand, had frequent prayer meetings, Bible studies, and wonderful fellowship.
Imagine what it would be like if you thought Christ’s coming was just days
away! It is no wonder that they ran to be ready and warn others after they
saw the vision of prophetical time ending.
As time went by, Miller and many others became fixed on the closing
equinox of the solar year 1843: March 21, 1844. However, a new
understanding of the reckoning of time also developed. Instead of the solar
year, it came to be believed by some that the Biblical year should instead be
followed. Thus Miller and a few others, postponed the Second Coming until
April 18, 1844, the end of the Jewish year—and not by Rabbinical Jews but by
Karaite Jews who started the years not in relation to the Spring Equinox but
when the barley first-fruits were ready in Judah since barley had to be ready
in order for the Passover to be kept in Jerusalem (see Lev. 23:4-11). Since
diverse other dates were also suggested, March 21 was not a giant shock
when Jesus did not come as expected. Therefore, most of them remained in
the faith and kept studying. The waiting period now, beginning on April 18,
became a full-blown tarrying time since a “little” disappointment had been
realized and faith must be tested. Thus was partially fulfilled the prophecy:
“Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that
readeth it. For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall
speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come,
it will not tarry” (Hab. 2:2, 3). For them, the vision as recorded in their time
prophecy charts tarried, and they would have to wait for further light. We
will later see how the prophecy is being completely fulfilled today with the
vision of Jesus on two tables of stone, which is connected to the time charts
by the same breach: the Sabbath/46 years.
In the early summer, the Second Decree went out: “Babylon is fallen, is
fallen,” indicating that first Catholicism and then Protestantism (see Rev.
14:8) fell. It was due to their rejection of the First Decree to fear God now
that the Judgment was imminent. Individuals would have to leave these
denominations to accept the everlasting gospel. Keep in mind that
Adventists had no denomination of their own at that time with most of them
deeply rooted in one denomination or another. However, the Bible and its
Author was more important than anything else; the decree had to go out.
Also keep in mind that not everyone heard the call, nor have they today.
People are only accountable for the light which they received. Never should
the Three Angels’ Messages be used to condemn any individual or
institution. The Father does not play favorites no matter what a person’s
background, and He is trying to get as many that are willing to return to
primitive godliness as well as progress into the greatest light He has ever
given to mankind. He hates seeing His people hurt when they must leave
familiar people and experiences and realizes that it is not easy; but He
knows that the pain quickly retreats and that much better is in store for them
emotionally and spiritually if they follow His plan. New joys, new and more
caring friends [because they have a deeper love for Jesus], and new peace
makes their old ways seem lifeless and dim.
A major development occurred that summer at a focal Adventist
campmeeting in August. Samuel Snow announced the real date for the end
of prophetic time: October 22, 1844. For the first time, solid Biblical
evidence was used. Since other feast days were fulfilled by in the past [His
death on Passover; the Pentecost 49 days after that Sabbath; the rising of
the Adventist movement and falling stars on the Feast of Trumpets], it would
be logical to conclude that the sanctuary would be cleansed when it
anciently was—the Day of Atonement. Oct. 22, 1844 was the date as kept
by Karaite Jews. Why then did it not come during the 1843 Jewish year then,
and instead 1844? Again, solid evidence was used. Since the third decree to
rebuild Jerusalem went out in the autumn of 457 BC, then 69 prophetical
weeks later (27 AD) Jesus would have been baptized in the autumn.
Therefore, 3 ½ years later Jesus was crucified in the spring. Prior to this
time, the Adventist went with the scholars that believed He was crucified
instead in 33 AD; they also did not realize that this would be in the midst of
the 70th week and not the end. Their calculation therefore was 2300 years
minus 70 prophetical weeks [=1810 years] added to 33 AD, which brought
them to 1843. However, this would disagree with the biblical Karaite
reckoning of the Passover which was not on Friday of that year as it had to
be since the Sabbath was a High Sabbath that Christ was laid in the grave
just after His death. Also, historic records of the sun darkening exist only in
31 AD (Lk. 23:45). Therefore, one prophetical week plus 2300 years minus
70 weeks [=1817 years] added to 27 AD brings us to 1844, not 1843.
This whole question of timing would have been solved much easier had
they realized that no year zero exists, thus making their calculation 2300
years minus 457 (BC), plus one, equals 1844! However, since they did not
yet realize this at that time, they wrongfully moved the third decree from
457 BC to 456 BC until they later understood. That is the long answer to the
intense waiting starting in 1843 when the 1335 years ended: “Blessed [is] he
that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty
days” (Dan. 12:12). The appointed time of the endings of 2300 and 2520
years in actuality did not tarry; it came at its appointed time—October 22.
They had to tarry themselves due to their own mistake as prophecy reveals.
Another very significant proclamation was made at that historic
campmeeting. Since a day is a year and a night is six months in prophetical
time, the long night of tarrying time between April 18th and October 22nd
reached exactly midnight on July 20th. This is when Snow proclaimed the
Midnight Cry for the first time, little knowing the significance of this day.
This cry spread like wildfire after the campmeeting less than a month later.
“While the bridegroom tarried … at midnight there was a cry made:
Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him!” It originates
from the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25. The Bridegroom is Jesus,
the Husband of the Church; and the wedding is based on Eastern culture.
The wise virgins had oil and the foolish did not. The wise virgins had enough
oil to wait while the Jesus tarried, and therefore would be ready to meet Him
in person, or so they thought. Remember, however, that His coming was to
the Most Holy Place in the Heavenly Sanctuary. Before His Father, He would
present His Bride as the names of those who comprise Her remain in the
Book of Life. As the Sanctuaries are cleansed from Her sins through His
blood blotting them out in the Heavenly, and also being appropriated to the
Bride Temple on earth through His Word and Spirit [again, the golden oil],
the wedding ceremony before the Father will be accomplished and its
purpose fulfilled, “that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of
water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not
having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and
without blemish” (Eph. 5:26, 27).
The other wedding parable in Matthew [Chapter 22] also gives insight
depicting the nature of the wedding of the cleansing Judgment. “The
wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye
therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the
marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered
together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding
was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he
saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: andhe saith unto
him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And
he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and
foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few [are]
chosen” (v. 8-14). Those who are not chosen are those who valued the
world more than the life of Jesus—His blood (Spirit) and water (Word). They
reject the cry of the call of Jesus to come to Him and partake of His life.
Therefore, no golden oil is made as these are the only two spiritual
ingredients that can mix together to form the Spirit of Christ in us, as
represented by the wedding garment. The books in heaven reveal who
those people are, and the Word of Life reveals to us the following: “Let us be
glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is
come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she
should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the
righteousness of saints ... Blessed [are] they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb.” “Come now, and let us reason together, saith
the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and
obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.” Come now, and let us
reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they
shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of
the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for
the mouth of the LORD hath spoken [it]” (Rev. 19:7-9; Is. 1:18-20).
The Marriage Supper will take place in heaven, but its food is provided
for us here and now and this is what we need. This is revealed by yet
another parable of Jesus [Luke 12]: “And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or
what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things do
the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have
need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all
these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your
Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give
alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens
that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For
where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Let your loins be
girded about, and [your] lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men
that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that
when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
Blessed [are] those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall
find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make
them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them” (v. 29-37).
Friend, meat and drink is spiritual food, as the Old Testament feast
days also point to! Recall the precious words of Jesus: “The bread that I will
give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Whoso eateth my
flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him
up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is
drink indeed. For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to
you upon the altar to make an atonement and my blood is drink indeed. He
that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I for your
souls. It is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that
proceedeth out of the mouth of God” (Jn. 6:51, 54, 55; Lev. 17:11; Matt. 4:4).
His life that He lived in the flesh is to become bread to us—rightousness,
reality to us; His life manifested in our flesh! Yet, how does this come?
Through faith in His blood! Through faith that He sacrificed His life for us
which we receive through the water of His Word in willingness to obey! Faith
(in His blood/sacrifice of His perfect flesh/life) + Obedience (submission to
His cleansing Word) = LOVE (in our flesh; bread to us, heavenly manna)!
We do not want these things to be just symbols to us—but reality.
Think of the Luke 12 Parable this way—as a heart issue. Food for the heart is
all around us. It is words, ideas, and experiences which can come from
various sources, especially the media. Two different kinds of food exist:
earthly and heavenly. The earthly comes from the things of this world while
the heavenly comes from Jesus; only the latter brings true life to the soul.
Christ pleads with us again: “[Why] do ye spend money for [that which
is] not bread? and … labour for [that which] satisfieth not? Hearken
diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul
delight itself in fatness” (Is. 55:2). Therefore, while the wedding in heaven
is in procession and we are waiting for it to end, we need to be watching
what is coming into our minds and hearts, as well as the food we are dishing
others by our words and actions, which is really an indication of what we are
taking in. The food that will be at the wedding supper in the New Jerusalem
after Christ comes will be physical and literal, but we must first partake of
the spiritual Tree of Life, which is Jesus. Then we will celebrate our
wonderful fellowship with Jesus and the saints. His life, His Spirit, is to come
into us today, so that we can be with Him in Person tomorrow. This is the
meaning behind these parables! The Father wants us there; He wants us for
His Son’s Bride; but neither the Father nor the Son will force us, neither
should be force others.
We are to just give the calling cry to come—because Jesus comes. We
are to reason the Scriptures with people just as God reasons in love with us
for our salvation. Jesus gently knocks on the doors of our hearts, and yet He
is the doorway for us into heaven. “I am the door: by me if any man enter in,
he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture ... I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep ... As the Father
knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one
shepherd ... My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me: and I give unto them eternal life (Jn. 10: 9-28).
Listen to Christ’s loving counsel to the Church of Laodicea—
representing all backslidden churches and individuals; those who are asleep;
everyone to some degree until they are sealed. “He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. And unto the angel of the
church of the Laodiceans write; these things saith the Amen, the faithful and
true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that
thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because
thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my
mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have
need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and
poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,
that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed,
and [that] the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes
with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and
chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come
in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame,
and am set down with my Father in his throne” (Rev. 3:13-21). The eyesalve
is watching to keep out impure ingredients from mental food and to watch
for Christ’s coming to us in Spirit so that we are ready for His physical
coming. If we take in His light now, it will not destroy us then since we will
already be part of it. The same message is given in compact to Daniel right
in the midst of the time prophecies. “Many shall be purified, and made
white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked
shall understand; but the wise shall understand” (Dan. 12:10). Who are the
wise? Those with the golden oil—those who live by the light given in the
Three Angels’ Messages—the Testimony of Jesus!

CHAPTER 9: THE FOUNDATION OF THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS

Except for the first parable we studied, the Adventists before 1844
were not revealed what we have discussed. The Midnight Cry gave power to
the Second Angel’s Message to come out of the fallen churches to get ready
for the coming of Jesus to cleanse His Sanctuary from impurities. Then the
light could come immediately after. The Third Angel’s Message of
righteousness—Christ in us, the mystery of mysteries—was not yet given.
By the way, the Loud Cry that is just beginning to go out today gives power
to this third message, and this message contains the first two; therefore, the
Midnight Cry is now swelling into the Loud Cry! However, the early
Adventists understood the wedding and supper to be concurrent and
initiated on October 22nd. That time came and passed. They were bitterly
disappointed; Jesus did not come!!! at least where they expected Him to.
Instead, His Spirit “cometh and knocketh” on hearts’ doors to cleanse our
lives with His life, while He in Person cleanses our records of sins in the
Heavenly Sanctuary with His life.
The sixth trumpet ends and the seventh begins. Revelation came the
very next day—October 23rd. But first let us return back to prophecy to see
how this is so. Revelation 10 suddenly breaks in right when the sixth
trumpet is still sounding! “And I saw another mighty angel come down
from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow [was] upon his head, and
his face [was] as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in
his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and [his]
left [foot] on the earth, and cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion
roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write:
and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, seal up those things which
the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel which I saw
stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, and
sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the
things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and
the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no
longer: but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he
shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he
hath declared to his servants the prophets. And the voice which I heard from
heaven spake unto me again, and said, go [and] take the little book which is
open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the
earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book.
And he said unto me, take [it], and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly
bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little
book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth
sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
And he said unto me, thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and
nations, and tongues, and kings.”
Let us not repeat the lesson John’s experience, which is the same of
those who lived during this time. The little book is their experience, and it is
the same as good medicine: we can digest it in pieces rather than in whole
so that we receive nourishment rather than sickness. Let us begin so now,
realizing that it is spiritual food that we are eating. We can only gain benefit
as we take in each part so that are minds can digest each element to
understand the whole. As earlier stated, we are not reading the Bible, but
studying it, prayerfully comparing Scripture with Scripture. Then, God’s
Word will be sweet to us and the world bitter. We will compare this chapter
(Rev. 10) with the whole of Daniel 8 to 12; it will be good to review. Daniel
saw a vision of three creatures representing Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome
—the same kingdoms he had seen in an earlier vision [Babylon had already
fallen by this time]. The vision revealed how Pagan Rome took away the
continual presence of pure Paganism that it previously had and clothed it
instead in Christianity, only to further abominate the cause God’s two
precious Sanctuaries—Heavenly and Humanly—and how they would be
wonderfully cleansed by Jesus [as High Priest and Holy Spirit] afterwards.
Daniel naturally wondered how long this would be and he was told 2300
prophetic days.
It is significant that evenings and mornings are mentioned in the
margin (see 8:14). This is when, in the Old Testament Sanctuary service, a
single sacrifice was made by the high priest for atonement so that the
Israelites would be corporately clean from their sins. This is also when saints
of all ages are to pray and worship God as a family and have devotion and
study with God individually, thus becoming incense to God, typified by the
priest burning incense at these times at the Golden Altar. However, after
these daily services were performed during the whole year, the actual
temple had to be cleansed on the Day of Atonement for the record of sins
that were transferred to the Holy Place by blood. On this day, the blood of
the Lord’s goat and the bullock, prefiguring different roles of Christ, were
taken into the Most Holy Place to present an offering before God. After God
accepted it, the sins were then transferred to the scapegoat which was led
into the wilderness; this prefigures Satan bearing the final burden of the sins
that he caused on this desolate earth for 1000 years. Again, the Day of
Atonement can be found in Leviticus 16. Nevertheless, the daily ministration
of Christ in the First Apartment of the Sanctuary was abominated during the
2300 evenings and mornings that led to the cleansing Day of Atonement we
are in. Yet, Christ still performed the services for the few who would not
profane His redemption with human mediators. When Daniel found out this
would go on “for many days (years)” he became sick and depressed, and so
the vision ended (see Dan. 8:26, 27). It is also interesting how the vision was
to be shut up—until the time of the end and not clearly revealed until after
the bitter disappointment, preceded by the very sweet expectation of Jesus
coming, to close the 2300 years.
Daniel’s vision returns; more light was given (see 9:20-27). During the
2300 years, Israel started out in Pagan captivity. When we soon learn of the
final 666 onslaught, we will investigate the Pagans’ system of daily idolatry
rituals and how it ties into the whole sun-laden trinity concept, the
counterfeit system to God’s Sabbath of resting and being cleansed from sin;
we have already seen some connections, but later it will all come together in
a very fascinating way. It all involves having spiritual intercourse with Satan
through attractive idols; it pollutes the body temple to desolate it of God’s
presence, and unless cleansed and sanctified again, destruction will occur.
Israel’s temple was restored again after their captivity in Babylon and an
official building decree to start the 2300 years off, but the Shekinah glory
and Christ’s presence did not return to that of the old temple, for the 2520
years of captivity and scattering persisted with the land of Israel being still
polluted with continual Pagan presence. When Christ returned to this earth,
this time in humanity due to His infinite sacrifice of giving up His previous
power, he ended the temple sacrifices at His death. He fulfilled the daily
earthly sacrifices and rites. Then, in 70 AD, as He prophesied, the temple
was completely and permanently destroyed. In 508 to 538, Rome
Christianized the Pagan system as earthly priests and popes took the place
of Jesus in the minds of most people. Again, Daniel could only take so much;
so, he fasted.
His vision returns again, but this time a different Angel comes: Michael,
our Great Prince of old. The Father says, “Behold, I send an Angel before
thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which
I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him
not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name [is] in
him. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I
will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine
adversaries. For mine Angel shall go before thee” (Ex. 23:20-23). Yea,
He forgives our sins if we rest in Him; then He will give us eternal rest in the
place prepared for us: the Jerusalem that will never be desolate again! He
shares the name Jehovah with the Father; the name which is perfect
holiness, perfect absence of sin. Isaiah says, “For he said, Surely they [are]
my people, children [that] will not lie: so he was their Saviour. In all their
affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved
them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare
them, and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled, and
vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy,
[and] he fought against them” (Is. 63:8-10). “And there was war in
heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon
fought and his angels” (Rev. 12:7).
Only God can forgive sins. It is only the God who bore the sins of the
human race, though innocent, and whose presence (Spirit, Angel) cleanses
us from our sins—all to redeem us into His own holiness. Then, our Father
God sees us just as He sees Christ—holy, sinless, beautiful. We will continue
to study this mystery. Therefore, Christ stands as our Advocate—a sin-
pardoning, sin-cleansing Witness between us and our Father in heaven who
swears to protect us as we entrust of life to Him. Why should He who is so
willing to save us be our enemy for the lifeless idols that the dragon and his
angels lure us to? Daniel beholds Him: “Then I lifted up mine eyes, and
looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins [were] girded
with fine gold of Uphaz: his body also [was] like the beryl, and his face as the
appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his
feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice
of a multitude” (Dan. 10:5, 6; see also Rev. 1:13-18). After more prophecy is
given [too detailed to cover here], He appears again: “And I heard the man
clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up
his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for
ever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have
accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall
be finished. And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what
[shall be] the end of these [things]? And he said, go thy way, Daniel: for the
words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be
purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and
none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from
the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination
that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and
ninety days. Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three
hundred and five and thirty days” (12:7-12).
Friend, do you see it? This is the same Jesus that is in Revelation 10 as
well as the One “having great power” with the earth “lightened with His
glory!” He is the Fourth Angel, as also revealed in Habakkuk, who gives
power to the Third Angel’s Message resulting in His loud cry! His glory is
revealed in us through His presence (Angel) that frees us from sin, thus
revealing the irresistible glory of love. We do not become gods when we
manifest the character of Jehovah, nor does the Angel spoken of pertain to a
created being who of himself had glory. God says, “I [am] the LORD: that [is]
my name: and my glory will I not give to another” (Is. 42:8). Please
understand that angels in prophecy either pertain to human messengers or
Jesus Himself, unless otherwise noted. Jesus creates His image in us, but His
and our cry that is uttered in our life and literature calls people to this
wonderful Saviour of all. We are only His messengers, being symbolized by
the three angels of Revelation 14. But when did the third angel’s message
first go out? On October 23, 1844—after the 1290 years from the time that
Paganism was taken away and through the 1260 dark years of Christianized
Pagan suppression; and after the end of the tarrying time that the 1335 days
led to. So, what happened?
Hiram Edson, a disappointed but faithful Adventist, walked through a
cornfield that day and had a vision: it was the Heavenly Sanctuary with Jesus
transferring His ministry from the First to the Second Apartment. “Unto two
thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed …
for at the time of the end [shall] be the visions” (8:14, 17). “I beheld till the
thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment
[was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne
[was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire. A fiery stream
issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto
him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment
was set, and the books were opened” (7:9, 10).
The time of the end began in 1798, and during the next 46 years,
spiritual Jews were gathered into the Advent movement—after 2520 years of
their scattering and suppression—especially in America. However, great
hesitation tainted the prophecies. Jesus was expected to come and He did
not. Re-read our Revelation 10 quote. Without this disappointment the
mystery would not have been a mystery, thus mitigating the awesome
splendor of God’s revelation to restore spiritual Jerusalem into His image of
glory with three decrees. Other reasons exist for it as well. At the
commencement of Edson’s vision, the seventh trumpet sounded: “the
mystery of God should be finished.” The truths of the Heavenly Sanctuary
opened up the many truths revealing the complete mystery God’s
redemption: the cleansing investigative Judgment, the true state of the dead
[unconscious sleep lest they were rewarded before their being judged], non-
immortality of the soul [since the wages of sin are death, not eternal
torment], and, most importantly, the knowledge of the seventh-day Sabbath.
“Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our]
God?” (Ps. 77:13).
Then, what were the seven thunders uttered? They were the sudden,
startling events that led to these amazing revelations that we have studied,
namely the following: (1) the First Angel’s Message going out to warn of the
Second Advent and Judgment (1840); (2) the publishing of the 1843
prophetical time charts (1842); (3) the Little Disappointment ushering the
tarrying time after the dates on the charts expired (Mar. 21, 1844); (4) the
Second Angel’s Message going out for people to leave the churches not
proclaiming the Advent message; (5) the Midnight Cry, giving power to the
second angel, that prophetical time will not end until October 22nd (July 20,
1844); (6) the Great Disappointment (Oct. 22, 1844); and (7) the revealing of
the Heavenly Sanctuary, thus opening the way for the Third Angel’s
Message. Are these the exact seven? You decide. Scripture gives very little
detail on this as this had to be hidden for John and the early Adventists;
however, these events are very logical considering the revealing and tarrying
of information that had to take place. What is important is that the time
between 1840 [when the second woe ended] and 1844 [when the trumpet of
that woe quit sounding and the seventh trumpet began] with an anxious
tarrying time at the end of it, was a very momentous time in the world’s
history to test people, provide lessons, and pave the way for Christ’s
Kingdom. God’s power was once again made manifest on the earth for the
first time since the death and resurrection of Christ followed by the
Pentacost. However, we still have one major dilemma: His Kingdom has still
not come!
Let us revisit a prophecy in Revelation 7 that we started on earlier to
reveal what must first take place. Recall how the sixth seal of began in 1755
at the Lisbon earthquake. In 1833, the third sign of the end came: the stars
fell. It is very interesting how the rest of Revelation fits together. Verses 13
and 14 are a century and many decades apart, but a message is
communicated. The stars falling foreshadow momentous astronomical
phenomena that will occur at the Second Advent of Christ as also depicted in
Isaiah. “All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be
rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth
off from the vine, and as a falling [fig] from the fig tree.” “And the heaven
departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and
island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the
great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men,
and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in
the rocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, fall on us,
and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the
wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be
able to stand?” (Is. 34:4; Rev. 6:14-17).
The enemies of Christ obviously cannot stand in His exceedingly bright
presence. They try to hide from Him but in vain; they must perish in their
presence of Christ, because they are of the “Wicked” system of Babylon who
exalts herself to the place of God while practicing the vilest sins. Read II
Thessalonians 2:1-12 to see how them He “shall destroy with the brightness
of his coming” (v. 8). Now recall Habakkuk’s saying: “And [his] brightness
was as the light; he had bright beams out of his side; and there
[was] the hiding of his power” (3:4). Do you see it? Those who now
choose to rest in the precious presence of Jesus—receiving His golden oil for
their heart lanterns, healing their wounds with His—will be able to stand His
light, because they have already received it! Christ is coming today in Spirit
to shine His Kingdom in us! We are the blood, the life, of our ancestors; their
genetics are in us. He cannot come in Person until Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, and all of their redeemed children, are sealed with the life of Christ
perfectly! Though they are dead, their seed is to be mixed with Christ’s seed
—His Word—in us. Then He can physically come as His ultimate mystery, of
Himself restoring humanity back to Himself through His love and their willing
surrender, will be fulfilled.
 Many hide from the Heavenly Sanctuary, because they fear idols; they
fear losing the things their heart is attached to and do not perceive the
beauty of a sanctified life. God lives in both the Heavenly and Humanly
Sanctuaries to consume sin away, and so His enemies hide because they
resist. Revelation 7 and much of the rest of Revelation fit between verses 13
and 14 in Chapter 6. It reveals the mystery that must be fulfilled. On
October 23, 1844, the mystery was revealed, but today we are still waiting
for it to be fulfilled. It should have been done months after this date, but the
majority of Adventists quit following the light because of their sore
disappointment and never having been truly converted in heart. Most who
stayed Adventists did not follow the continued light that had been
strengthening ever since succeeding Protestants left Babylon to follow
principles such as salvation-by-faith and holy living. They followed the poor
example of naming denominations after godly reformers but not moving
upward as the reformers would have done had they continued living. The
Third Angel’s Message opened the way for righteousness-by-faith in its purity
and the Sabbath as its sign. Few at first followed. Therefore, time went on
though prophetical time had ended.
The seventh seal whereby Christ comes, thus leaving silence in heaven
while He comes to take His precious redeemed back with Him (see Rev. 8:1),
must be preceded by the sealing message of the fullness of the Sabbath
sealing God’s people in spirit and in truth. “And after these things I saw four
angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of
the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on
any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having
the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four
angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying,
hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have
sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the
number of them which were sealed: [and there were] sealed an hundred
[and] forty [and] four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel” (7:1-
4). The four angels hold back the four winds of strife which will ultimately
end in the seven last plagues.
In all practicality, just not in prophetical language, it is Christ’s Spirit
that seals us with His law—His character (see Eph. 1:13, 14; 4:30). He
yearns for us to receive it! Recall that this is the Sabbath seal of surrender,
and the Third Angel’s Message warns us of its counterfeit mark which results
in suffering through the seven last plagues followed by eternal death.
Verses 9 to 12 describe a multitude of people from all generations who
obtained salvation, while the surrounding verses, including the ones above,
describe the 144,000 who will never see death like Elijah. The multitude of
righteous were sealed with the Holy Spirit based on the light they received
but not with to the same extent as the 144,000 who will learn and live the
fullness of the Sabbath. It is possible that they will receive the full seal the
moment they are resurrected by the virtues of their 144,000 offspring who
lived it for them as they would have done had they been given the same
light and opportunities. The twelve tribes of the 144,000 are of spiritual
Israel, not literal, based primarily on personality types that were exhibited by
their ancestors of literal Israel as revealed in the Old Testament accounts.
Just keep in mind, that sealing is a settling in to the truth in stages as people
accept God’s authority over their lives. It is a sanctification process that
takes a lifetime, but the final seal will be a perfect one allowing for no flaws
as we see that the robes of the 144,000 are perfectly white. This may seem
like a small number, but remember that only 8 were saved in the Flood and
also that many not of the number will die as martyrs soon before the final
sealing takes place.
Speaking of the Old Testament, Ezekiel 9 also describes the sealing
angel and his work, and not only this, but a destroying angel. The sealing
angel with ink represents Christ removing the sins of the righteous with His
blood so that they will be protected from the closing plagues instituted by
the destroying angel and the four others with the winds. Those with the
mark of perfect separation from sin will be passed over because they will
have Christ’s Spirit and character within and have no need for anymore of
His intercession for their sins entering the sanctuary. There will be no more
repentance, either for sinners or saints. Thence will sound the woe of the
seventh trumpet and the seventh seal will open with the long-awaited
seventh millennium. Just as the seventh trumpet began with a revelation of
the Heavenly Sanctuary and the Sabbath contained in the heart of the ark
inside, it will end with such as its woe sounds, but this time no probation will
be left. “And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen
in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices,
and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail” (Rev. 11:19).
All who are living then will see the Ten Commandments appear in the
sky—the covenant of God’s grace that they accepted or rejected based on
their decision to rest in or refrain from this law of love which will govern the
Kingdom of Peace for all eternity. The Two Great Sanctuaries for God’s
presence will be pure and spotless; the services in both will cease
with the Heavenly work complete and the Living Temple
established, yea sealed, for eternity. God will no longer be separate
from humanity but dwell with us always. This time has not yet come
because God is waiting for His precious jewels to be purified to withstand
such a time. There is still time to be sealed with the Third Angel’s Message.
If Sunday laws are going into effect or rumors thereof when you read this,
dictating that you cannot buy or sell unless you rest on Sunday instead of
Saturday, know that the plagues could hit at anytime at which time
probation is closed. If not, do not chuckle in doubt, for the third and final
woe is coming very soon and all will be tested on the eternal Sabbath truth
just prior. God has graciously given us probationary time so that the seventh
millennium did not begin just after the seventh trumpet began but when its
woe begins with the seventh seal … so that you could be born, then sealed
to always live.
CHAPTER 10: LESSONS OF THE LONG WAITING YEARS OF ISRAEL

Let us now look at the history of when the time of the seventh trumpet
began (1844) until current time, and then we will step into the very near
future to view some extraordinary things. The Adventists were not the only
ones to discover 1844 as the end of prophetic time, or were they? The
Baha’i religion was introduced at this time and claimed that they found the
same prophecies as the Adventists. The Baha’i people believe that all the
major religions have truth and that no writings should be taken literally.
They also openly promote the New World Order, especially in the religious
sense of joining all religions into one—ecumenism. Furthermore, it is obvious
that this religion did not just come by chance but was set in place by the
initiates who hate literal Bible interpreters such as the Adventists, who just
came into the picture at that time. Not only this, but they created
fundamentalist Christian faiths, such as “Christian” Science, Church of Latter
Day “Saints” (Mormons), and “Jehovah’s” Witnesses. The leaders of these
faiths were high-degree Freemasons [a group of initiates]! They were
created for multiple reasons: attract people who have a mindset for the truth
away from the true Adventists, act as a decoy to make the Adventists look
like another cult to the mainstream Christians, and lead people to deny the
divinity of Christ. Will the Baha’i religion be the New World Religion? It could
be the case, but it is more likely that it will just aid in the development of
uniting faiths and create disaffection for those who decline this ecumenism.
Keep in mind that all the world religions are artificial and separated mainly
by names; they are all united under the doctrine of natural immortality—
spiritualism. This is precisely what Satan and his initiates want, and as
spiritualism strengthens their unity will increase.
God has had His own plan to unite His people and unfortunately Satan
always resists. In the years following, the seventh-day Sabbath became well
known among those searching for truth. As the majority of Adventists
opposed such an idea and also diminished overall in their faith, the
Adventists who followed the light given of the Sanctuary found the need to
split. Meanwhile, God was also rising up a prominent messenger by the
name of Ellen Harmon, who after marriage to a strong laborer for the truth
[James White], became Ellen White. She had several remarkable visions
early in life, including the verification of the Heavenly Sanctuary, thus clearly
revealing the reason for the Great Disappointment and also the beautiful
light of Christ fulfilling the Old Testament Sanctuary types in redeeming us
from sin. After she learned about the Sabbath day being on Saturday, she
rejected it since her whole life she had been used to Sunday. However,
through much Bible study and finally a clear vision, the evidence was
unmistakable. Thence, the name Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) was used to
distinguish them from the other Adventists. In 1863, a National Reform
movement began in support of mixing Church and State. Sunday laws were
proposed as evangelical churches united with each other and the
government. Therefore, it was necessary for the SDAs also to organize into a
Conference to oppose such a movement to fight for religious liberty in
keeping the Church and State separate. The SDAs are still in support of this
today, advocating the Protestant principle of every person having the right to
their own religion based on their conviction of conscience, not that of the
State.
The devil counterfeited again. A woman was set up to counterfeit Mrs.
White and the SDA movement: Madame Blavatsky. Mrs. Blavatsky had many
psychic encounters with the devil and wrote many books about it. She
taught satanic principles such as spiritualism, evolution, and the occult. Her
main predecessor was Alice Bailey, who worked very similar. Both of their
writings are used extensively by the initiates, including the United Nations.
The goal is to have a world that is regulated by the enlightened initiates who
supposedly have secret (esoteric) knowledge to bring a new structure that
will evolve into an ecological paradise with the few who have knowledge and
strength surviving. The majority who are weak are told to accept
democracy, which is in reality brainwashing the majority through the media
[their occult mediums] into thinking and voting their agenda. Different
political parties and debates are just used as a mask to hide their secret
agenda. Though the initiates profess to promote solidarity, equitability,
sustainability, and peace, deliberately reducing the population is not seen as
evil since they see death as the fastest way to speed evolution from the
weak to the strong. The best way for people to die is to be conformed to
what is put out through the media—violence, sex, drugs, unhealthy foods
and lifestyles, and feeding the mind with vanities.
On the other hand, God’s way is to have strong family ties, little or no
contact with worldly governments and entertainments, biblical morality
based on the perfect unchangeable law of love, an absence of fighting and
otherwise hurting each other emotionally, and a healthy lifestyle based on
the principles of Eden. These health principles include optimal Nutrition [an
entirely plant-based diet] (Gen. 1:29), daily physical Exercise (2:15), liberal
Water consumption [8 glasses and a bath daily] (2:10), Sunshine [for vitamin
D, cheerfulness, and correct balance of hormones], Trust in the power and
love of our awesome God (2:17), fresh Air [indoors and time spent outdoors]
(1:6, 7), sufficient Rest [7-8 hours nightly; Sabbath Day weekly] (2:3); and
Temperance in all things [using liberally that which is healthy, conservatively
that which is neutral, and nothing of that which is harmful [including
stimulants and other drugs as they weaken reasoning power and make life
miserable] (2:16, 17). These eight principles are to give a NEW START to a
person who is worn out mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually—
these being all inter-connected. Spiritually speaking, we need to feed our
hearts with good spiritual food, exercise our mental and practical knowledge
of Christ, drink from the Fountain of Life freely, receive spiritual light and
shine it to others, trust in God rather than man, breathe in eternal life from
the Spirit of Jesus, rest from our sins to be healed by Him, and abstain from
anything that will take our heart’s affections away from Him.
 Who has written about these principles more than any other person
based on a strong desire to see people healed from their pain by the Great
Healer? Ellen White, who is also highly criticized by people who have not
gained true wisdom, which means most. Remember: When holiness is the
goal, sin will be feared, God revered, and happiness will result. When
happiness is the goal, trouble will be feared, idols revered, and unhappiness
will result. Read Ministry of Healing. Read Desire of Ages. Her books are
only meant to heal people from their pain, inspire people to read the Bible
more [instead of adding to it like false prophets], and draw them close to the
presence of God. This includes informing people of sins, sins that prevent
their own true happiness! Only few will come to love the Bible and the Spirit
of Prophecy to magnify [not add to or subtract from] it as is the case with
Ellen’s writings. Only few will choose to live on average eight to ten years
longer with death being much easier and quicker; and this statistic is
counting the many SDAs who are not even living up to the message
themselves, thus increasing the lifespan even further to the true followers of
God’s health plan. However, now that we are in the last days, dying from
natural causes is less of an issue. The reason He has given this message in
this time is to clear people’s minds so that His Spirit can much more fluently
speak to us. Remember, the temporal lobe [in the forehead] is where the
Sabbath seal is placed, and this is the same organ that is most impacted by
drugs and unhealthy physical and spiritual foods. The health message is
the right arm of the everlasting gospel of the vision of Jesus we are
receiving to heal us from sin, and so it cannot be separated from the
body of this work. Treat it as such. Remember, we are to live the
whole vision, not just know about it.
What is stopping people? Foolishness and pride—the spirit of Babylon.
Whereas the initiates hide knowledge to keep it secret—some which is
beautiful spiritual truth but mystified and darkened by adding in terrible lies
—lest the unworthy sheep spoil it, the Seventh-day Adventists are now to
proclaim it with a loud cry, undiluted and unpolluted with lies! Which religion
do you want? The one where the prideful, strong, and mighty always win
and suppress all the rest, thinking they are gods of themselves, or the one
where the humble, meek, and lowly prevail for eternity because they have
Almighty God on their side to fight for true love, joy, and peace. The former
is for those who are “privileged” enough to be born into a certain family who
is well recognized by the initiates, while the latter is available to anyone and
everyone who surrenders to God’s government which has no flaw, free from
the multitude of contradicting human opinions. The majority will choose the
former under various exoteric artificial religions, each having the banner
“natural immortality,” the esoteric occult principle followed in its purity by
those initiates in the very top ranks of these supposed religions. Although
this whole system of Babylon will speak much of faith, love, and liberty, only
the opposite occurs. It is all confusion. This way is chosen by the poor
sheep for many reasons under the auspices of faulty reasoning, by that of
family, friend, self, or spiritual leader. The only way to break it is for Christ’s
lovely character—the precious Rock—to be revealed in all of its glory through
its hewing out of the precious stones of humanity in holiness. This is the
work of the remnant who keep God’s commandments in His faith. Perhaps it
is time for you to make a NEW START! Do not feel ashamed if you are in the
wrong system, for it is present even in many who profess to be Sabbath-
keepers. That is why we are to proclaim this beautiful message of hope—the
Sabbath revealed in its fullness, the only way to keep its Day holy and thus
avoid the mark of the beast.
As the decades progressed, SDAs had internal struggles. The same
problems of Babylon occurred in parts of the church: legalism/formalism and
liberalism. This pattern has continued into our time. Mrs. White struggled
with her pen to stop everything from fanaticism, spiritualism, gossiping, luke-
warmness, arguing and debate, and a lack of Christian zeal. God has
purposed to end the non-sense. In 1888, He raised up two more servants
who remained faithful for a time—Alonzo Jones and Ellet Waggoner. For the
first time ever, the Third Angel’s Message was given with a loud cry!
Legalism and debate was renounced while practical faith in Christ giving way
to His righteousness was made evident. Salvation was made very plain and
simple so that a child could understand and not the adults who persist in
picking at unimportant topics. The spiritual aspect of the Sabbath even
came out in some of their writings. A sign of Christ’s Second Coming quickly
came as Sunday laws were proposed in legislation. Mr. Jones appealed
against it in various meetings, including at the Second Session of the Fiftieth
Congress. His plain arguments against it were instrumental in stopping it.
Jesus could have come shortly after 1888; however, the loud cry was
silenced. It cut too close to pride. Many wanted to maintain their
righteousness-by-works methodology of salvation so that they could have a
cloak for their secret sins. The more Ellen wrote to counteract such legalism
and commended the work of Jones and Waggoner in their message of
righteousness-by-faith, the more it seemed to be rejected. So, she moved to
Australia where she could be of more benefit. Here, where she stayed for
many years, and after she returned, she was given visions on how to expand
the work of medical and spiritual evangelism. This helped the church more
than anything. Many hospitals and colleges were erected around the world,
and after the people were trained, they went out and shared. Thus, the
church grew and many saw the light.
However, the pendulum swung back from legalism to liberalism after
Mrs. White (age 87) died. A gradual decline of spirituality occurred and
certain individuals taught and published liberal thinking half-way through the
20th Century, especially in the once glorious schools and medical centers.
She saw it starting before her death when Dr. Harvey Kellogg—creator of
cold cereal who became an SDA and later left—introduced pantheistic and
other theories of spiritualism, particularly in his book called, “The Living
Temple.” Her writings to stop it were in vain as she called it the alpha of
apostasy. It permanently took away Mr. Jones’ once pure faith as Mrs. White
warned him it would. She predicted the omega of apostasy to occur in the
future, under the same banner of spiritualism but being much more intense.
Prophecy was fulfilled. During the fourth quarter of the 20th century,
the liberalism and spiritualism worked hand-in-hand to become very
prominent, thus removing the barrier between the once pure faith and the
various Christian denominations. The problem is that people are afraid to
come out from the world because they trust God more than man, thus the
counterfeit Sabbath experience. However, God’s Word cries out: “What
agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple
of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them];
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out
from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not
the unclean [thing]; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and
ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. Ye [are] a
chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called
you out of darkness into his marvellous light: which in time past
[were] not a people, but [are] now the people of God: which had not
obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Dearly beloved, I beseech
[you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against
the soul” (II Cor. 6:16-18; I Pet. 2:9-11).
Though the majority, even of those who profess faith in the Three
Angels’ Messages, do not heed this message, a faithful few always have.
God has been struggling against the stubborn will of man to gather a people
to shine in unison the light of the Angel who cries, “‘Come out’ and ‘follow
Me,’ not after the sun-laden world which has ‘no rest day nor night.’” In very
recent time, we are seeing a revival of this nature though it is being repulsed
by both the liberals and those conservatives who would rather have debate
and dry doctrine rather than primitive practical godliness. Prior to 1844,
God’s people were scattered and the beautiful doctrines we can believe
today were buried in the sands of traditions. However, today the Seventh-
day Adventist Church stands as a testimony to the truth. What is lacking is
the Spirit of the truth to transform their own lives and those around them.
Love may be proclaimed, but is it love in truth or just in word? Truth may be
proclaimed, but is it truth practiced in love or is it too just a form? We must
conserve undiluted truth, but without its fullness revealed in the life, it
becomes dark lies like the occult.
The SDA people will have to come to grips with these things. God is
now giving the loud cry, even much clearer than in 1888! It is a message to
repair the breach made between man and God—the breach of sin, which is
transgression of the law, which will always be done until the Sabbath is lived
in its fullness. We have the healing, sealing message, but even this must be
lived. Heart-felt repentance, confessions of sins to each other to heal its
inflicted pain (see James 5:16), forsaking anything that wars against the soul
and its Maker, praying for the Latter Rain, communing with Jesus every
moment with a constant conscious awareness of His presence, keeping the
Sabbath day with all reverence and rest, and living only to evangelize [share]
and glorify God: these traits must follow the knowledge of the truth for it to
be real; otherwise our religion is imaginary and worse than Babylon who
makes no such profession! It must be a daily experience. Why must we
inflict pain on ourselves any longer?
Jesus will shine in His people! This ancient hope, this vision, is
becoming reality. The world cannot last in the state it is in; therefore,
choices must be made as probation will soon cease to tarry. Christians in
name-only (nominal), including Adventists without the full Sabbath
experience, will separate from the genuine. However, the Sabbath in its
fullness must still go out and it never will through prideful independence. We
will see many nominal Adventists reject the straight testimony of Jesus
fulfilling His law in His people, but these will be replaced by those new to
Sabbath truth and the soon coming of Jesus. The Sabbath of healing
must go out in its fullness; it never will in prideful independence nor
will it in uniting with error. In the coming months, perfect unity on
both sides of the great Sabbath question will develop; and whether
it is 6 or 12 or 50 months ahead, God’s people will be united in
heaven safe and sound while the others will be in the united state of
death on earth. As for now, the SDA General Conference President and
various groups of people under this massive organization, especially those in
certain supporting ministries such as Generation of Youth for Christ (GYC),
are advocating revival of true godliness and reformation of Christian
character both corporately and individually—and people are beginning to
wake up to this call. This type of spirit has not been seen since 1888, and as
our fresh message of the loud cry merges in, the latter rain will be falling to
prepare the harvest of souls. It is the same spirit as the midnight cry of 1844
—urgent preparation for Christ’s Second Coming—except it is much more
intense this time because Christ’s spiritual presence in His fullness will be
manifested beforehand in message and reality.
Friend, whether you have been a Seventh-day Adventist for years or
are just learning of the Sabbath now, even in its very fullness, do not be
discouraged by those who are either ignorant of or refuse its truths. It is up
to you to repair the breach. You and others must unite to share with still
others the same excellent vision; then it will be reality, a transformation a
book such as this can never do on its own. Do not let God pass you by; He
wants you in this labor to promote rest. Also, keep in mind that a great
number of SDAs have long been living the spiritual Sabbath to some extent,
but they just are not aware of the present light and therefore use different
terminology. They are now consecrating all to serve God and will in time
learn what you are learning. Never put yourself in a higher status than
anyone, even non-SDAs and non-Christians. This is a message of love, not
separation.

CHAPTER 11: THE FINAL ONSLAUGHT OF THE 666 MYSTERY

 We have seen the past and present in prophetical format and laid the
groundwork for what is to come. But the story is not over. The full vision is
yet to come in this book, and later you will have even more revelations if you
continue beholding the light. We will now begin to unveil the final onslaught
of 666 so that we can view the wonderful contrast to it—the lovely Jesus. It
is the difference of having satanic humanity and divine humanity, with the
former professing and appearing as the latter. This distinction must be
realized.
Recall that in 1798 Rome was wounded while the U.S. had become
fully established and how later [in 1929] Rome started to heal from her
wound. Study carefully Revelation 13. We have a dragon, which we know
from Chapter two is Satan and his closest followers being the world initiates
and Pagan idolaters. Paganism universally reigned starting around 607 BC
when Nebuchadnezzar built up Babylon and then was taken away to be
Christianized [becoming subtler but more deceptive] by 538 AD when Rome
became Papalized. Since we know the U.S. as the earth, the second beast
“coming up out of” (v. 11) it must be its government which historically has
been founded on two principles—Protestantism and Republicanism. A
republic is not a democracy where a brainwashed majority rule but where
unchanging principles [in this case, the U.S. Constitution] dictate civil affairs
through court systems and local governments. These two principles are
represented by the two horns, and they are of a lamb since they promote
peace and liberty. However, the Country has been becoming more and more
like the dragon since the 21st Century began, and keep in mind that what
happens in America generally happens to the rest of the world.
Constitutional rights have been taken away all under the guise of fighting
“terrorism.” Protestants are more and more becoming the minority as
immigration is promoted and the Supreme Court ceases to have Protestant
representatives.
Now we have the dragon, the main beast, and the second beast. The
second beast is considered to be a false prophet because it has historically
professed Protestantism but has been becoming more and more similar to
the first beast by holding onto its image, just as this beast held onto the
image of the dragon through the idolatrous sun-worship system Paganism.
Remember, Protestant America could have accepted the light of the Three
Angels’ Messages in 1844 and abandoned the Rome’s mark of authority—
Sunday being the Sabbath Day. Furthermore, since C holds to the image to
B and B had the image to A, C holds onto the same image of A and is why
the U.S. is speaking [or legislating] more and more like the dragon. Since
Paganism was wounded from its purity in 508 AD, will it ever heal again?
Actually, since 1989, 60 [one of the Satanists’ favorite numbers] years after
Rome started healing, Paganism has been healing. This is the year the
Berlin Wall fell, thus marking the end of Communist USSR and the opening of
the way for the European Union, the first dominion of the United Nations.
Remember, the initiates run the U.N. and they operate by Pagan philosophy
[such as given by Blavatsky and Bailey].
 As we draw to the end of time, Atheism [the power (France) that
wounded the first beast to pave the way for the second], Communism [the
power wounded by a “holy alliance” of the first and second beasts to pave
the way for the European Union], and fundamentalism [made blatant by the
power of behind the first two woes (Islam)] are to be all portrayed as
undesirable by the U.N. and other likeminded agencies. [Study Daniel 11:40-
45; SDA’s are to understand how these powers and turns of events are
prophetically represented in this passage but would take too long to explain
here]. Instead, a new world religio-government advocating peace and social
justice will be promoted—socialism. But how will the atheists and various
religions fall for it? Easy: spiritualism. “And I saw three unclean spirits like
frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the
beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of
devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of
the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty” (Rev. 16:13, 14). We started to cover this territory earlier. Keep
in mind that people will be looking for signs and wonders and will believe
that “Holy Spirit” is at work to revive the world back to “God” so that the
natural disasters [which will continue to rapidly intensify] will end. Satan can
heal the sicknesses that he causes and can impersonate people who are
dead, since he has deceived people into believing natural immortality. Will
SDAs fall into this trap? Oh yes, many are already headed in this direction;
and the genuine revival and reformation will be alive and well too, but not
nearly as attractive to the worldly-minded who love their sins. True
godliness is simple kindness, joy, and humility; it is self-sacrificing love.
The new world religion will profess peace and charity too, and the
Rome’s leader will form a very prominent role. Sunday will be forcefully
advocated as the universal day of rest, and then their “Jesus” will come and
will also speak beautiful things; but we who are wise know that this will be
the ultimate antichrist, Satan himself; for the real Jesus will never step foot
on this earth until after the 1000 years is finished. Let us get to the heart of
the matter, in reference to the second beast. “And he had power to give life
unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should
be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no
man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast,
or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding
count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number
[is] Six hundred threescore [and] six” (Rev. 13:15-18). Let us become even
wiser, this time in reference to the first beast. “And here [is] the mind which
hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman
sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, [and] the other
is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And
the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and
goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings,
which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour
with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and
strength unto the beast” (17:9-13).
Early on, we introduced the idea of Sunday laws. We see now that the
second beast [Protestant America] will initiate them. It is at this point that
Babylon can be considered fully fallen since coercion of conscience will be
advocated even among the “Protestants” as they become the false prophet,
professing to be what they are not. It is also by this time that the vision of
Jesus with the full Sabbath message will be known. Due to both of these
factors, Sabbath-breaking literally will become the mark of the beast; and
only those who are living the vision can keep it completely. The laws will
come in stages. First, Sunday work will be prohibited. Second, worship on
Sunday will be enforced. Third, rest on any other day, such as Saturday, will
be prohibited with the penalty first being not able to buy or sell on any day.
A new electronic monetary system will make this very enforceable. Since
power will be cut off when SDAs choose to obey God rather than man [the
fundamental principle behind the Sabbath Day], wise SDAs will have moved
out of the cities by then to have alternate energy, food, and water sources.
It is best to move toward this scenario as soon as possible unless God’s
providence otherwise delays; however, when the first stage of Sunday laws is
imminent, that is the time to move to the country immediately. Waiting until
then will make it harder for adjustments and preparations for when the
power will be cut off. Also, keep in mind that man-made or physical
disasters may cut power out in large areas before the penalty of not
receiving the beast’s mark occurs. In addition to this, buying and selling,
including of land, will become more difficult before this time as well due to
economical issues. World War III, which the initiates already have planned,
may start before this time, thus greatly compounding the economic struggles
we have now. Yet, when people [including the initiates and their friends who
are already preparing] develop a self-sustaining lifestyle, they become
independent of outside resources. Overall, country living is much more
satisfying since it is less artificial and confusing, is healthier, has less
violence [which will continue to worsen] and temptations toward evil, and
affords quiet opportunity to commune with God. People will also lose their
land eventually due to taxes, but by then the angels will protect God’s
people—move them to better places and feed them as necessary (see Is.
33:15-17). You must pray about these things.
The final stage of the Sunday laws [universal by then] is that “as
many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Just as
with the decrees to kill Daniel [who gave helped give us prophetical vision]
and his friends, the Sabbath-keeping people waiting for the Second Advent of
Christ [just days away] living then will be spared. The U.S. uniting with Rome
to enforce her day of worship will unite the former back to the dragon since
the latter receives power from the dragon. Since the dragon will manifest
itself by the U.N., this will universalize the Sunday laws, thus leading to the
death decree which will take place during the seven last plagues that the
saints will be protected from. In other words, the National Sunday Law first
legislated in the U.S. will unite all three governments into “one mind.” We
are speaking of the final onslaught. Everything we have been studying and
will continue studying of the counterfeit Sabbath/godhead of spiritualism
comes to a climax. Spiritualism will unite the three governments into one for
a short time [“one hour,” perhaps 15 days prophetically] since church and
state mixed through the counterfeit Sabbath. And then the next kingdom
comes.
The kings in Revelation 17 are obviously kingdoms in prophetic
language. We have already studied five of them [Babylon, Medo-Persia,
Greece, Pagan Rome, Papal Rome], and the ones we have just looked at
[U.S., U.N., Papal Rome] are the three others to make the eight. But why
does it say there are seven then? Because the eighth one is the same as the
fifth [being “of the seven”]! This is just how the seven mountains are the
seven hills of Rome and the Vatican [formed in 1929] makes the eighth.
Since physical Jerusalem also has seven hills and is being watched so closely
by humans, including through counterfeit prophecies of the Bible, the
Vatican will perhaps relocate there. But when all is said and done, there will
only be six human kingdoms; the sixth involves three parts, thus we have
the final onslaught of 666! Pagan Rome had this number in its amulet and
sought to desolate God’s people in physical Jerusalem in 70 AD; Papal Rome
has had this number in her title “Vicarius Filii Dei” and desolated God’s
people in the the 1260 dark years; and next Papal Rome uniting the U.S. and
the U.N. to itself through her mark will form this number and seek to
desolate God’s people through the death decree. All three desolating
powers seek to be in the place of Christ: sun-god, pope, and government for
new world order. God’s people have always escaped in the past, and this
time the tables will turn as the government and everyone who received its
mark will become desolated as Christ comes with His seventh kingdom as
the seventh seal begins because He will have 144,000 people who choose to
keep the Sabbath in its fullest with keeping the seventh day as the sign!
The ten kingdoms under this threefold government will be in union
with each other as well as the districts within themselves. The European
Union has been used as a test; the other nine have already been proposed
and include: North American Union [where the Amero is a proposed
currency], South American, Japanese, Australian, Asian [the largest], South
American, Middle-Eastern, African, South African, Indian, and Chinese.
Friend, NEVER, EVER are we to rebel against these or any
governments! Without them and their laws, total chaos would
occur. Many have learned of the New World agenda recently, and many of
these turn rebellious and this will lead to civil wars. Review and remember
Romans 13. Stay free from binding politics and let God and the world
deal with the governments, for God is ultimately in control of everything.
If the laws of the land conflict with the higher law of God, then obey
God; but this will never lead to rebellion or violence. We are to be
the most peaceful people on the planet! The initiates are already
disgruntled at us for what we believe since it is not what they believe, even
though we are perfectly harmless and it is them who profess to freely let all
be their own gods to believe what they want. But talking bad of their
governments or demonstrating against them will misrepresent God
and His people and put us into harm’s way. So, support your local
and federal governments by obeying both their laws and God’s by
His grace. Instead of being angry at people in the corrupt
governments and religions, be angry with the problem of evil and
use the best weapon given to man—prayer—even for the poor
initiates and those under them, who Christ also died for but do not
know His glorious ways of life, liberty, and happiness. Then you will
be doing your duty and your soul will be protected, even if you must
temporarily die for our everlasting faith He gives us. We are Bible
fundamentalists and seek to give others life by giving what we have, not evil
fundamentalists who commit suicide to kill others. It is up to you to improve
our reputation which has been so terribly misrepresented within and without.
The threefold government matches the trinity we have already studied
—Satan [the serpent dragon of himself and his Pagan religio-government
structure], idols [his sea of dragon images Christianized in Rome], and self
[the earthly covetous Protestant America] who is never satisfied. It is time to
delve deeper into understanding these things so that we stay clear of this
whole system. The initiates have always had three primary symbols: the
sun, the moon, and the earth. The sun is seen as the source of all life with
the moon reflecting it and the earth transforming its energy into living
things. Procreation also creates life. So, how do these elements fit
together? Idolatry is spiritual adultery and leads to spiritualism—Satan
possession. It is looking to created things for life rather than the Creator of
life, and this is the basis of Satanism and the occult because Satan wants to
possess us because he jealously knows that we belong to God through
creation and redemption, which the Sabbath Day is a sign of. Jesus is jealous
for us too, and this is why He gives His own Spirit to all those who accept
Him so that redemption is complete in His perfected Bride—the very work
Satan is trying to counterfeit.
While the Bible tells us we are God’s, Satan wants us to think we can
become gods when instead he spiritually rapes us to death after our consent
of lusting. “What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one
body? For two, saith he, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord
is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the
body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
[which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are God's” (I Cor. 6:16-20). “But of the fruit
of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, ye
shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the
serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die: for God doth
know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened,
and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the
woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was]
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her
husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened,
and they knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves
together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the
LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his
wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the
trees of the garden … And the LORD God said, behold, the man is
become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put
forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for
ever: therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till
the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he
placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming
sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life”
(Gen. 3:3-8, 22-24). What you have just read reveals the greatest mysteries
in existence. Let us unlock these things so we can truly see what is behind
the final onslaught of 666.
Have you ever seen the sun, often represented by a star, inside of a
crescent moon? Sure you have. It is seen in all the religions as well as in
other places. You see, there are actually three trinities in Satanism: one as a
whole, the sun’s, and the earth’s. The sun’s trinity is in its cycles, both daily
[sunrise, midday, and sunset] and yearly [Spring (Vernal) Equinox, summer,
and Winter Solstice]. The Sunday after Vernal Equinox is when Easter today
is celebrated, a name originating from Ishtar [a woman goddess doing her
lunar intercessory work with the sun so that mankind on earth could be
produced]. Summer represents growth—everyone evolving so they can
become gods. The Winter Solstice, coming nine months after the Spring
Equinox, represents the birth of both trinities—sun and earth: man on earth
becomes a christ of the sun god. This birthday of the sun—celebrated on
December 25th when Christmas is celebrated today—was to be repeated in
miniature every Sunday to renew the spirit; and the highest Sunday would
be the first one following the full moon after the Vernal Equinox which would
commemorate Ishtar’s conception. The trinity of man is consciousness,
knowledge, and material (physical). Now, these ideas are all Satanic. What
it represents is Satan (the sun) coming into our consciousness through
spiritualism. How does this happen? Through knowledge: the idols our
material-oriented hearts covet: spiritual fornication.
You see, the initiates believe that the knowledge Adam and Eve
received from eating the unlawful fruit is sexual indulgence and that this in
itself is sin and everything else is morally relative. However, they do not
know the way to overcome it since they are under Satan’s ranks and not
Christ’s. Thus, they see the only remedy in order to evolve into a new and
perfect society is through obtaining more knowledge—more sin—to
overcome it. They feed it through the mass media just as they throughout
all time have glorified it in Pagan rituals and mythology. Then, little do they
realize, all other violent evil—which they see as relative—follows … relative
because, again, they believe that evil must overcome evil, and this is done
through indulgences. Thus, their moral perceptions are weakened along with
all the masses in the artificial religions under them, and anything is okay as
long as the end result is good. They can use all the spiritual terminology
they want, but deep inside they just want to indulge in things that make
them feel pleasure inside so that they can hide their guilt in excitement.
Thus, they and their artificial religions spiritualize the truth away through
mythological fables, which can also be Christianized through a Mary figure
[which in “Protestant” circles can be an easy-going Jesus without masculine
authority], confessions and indulgences instead of obedience, image
worship, interaction with the dead, Sunday, Easter, and Christmas. [Note:
we are not to judge each other regarding non-weekly family holidays but are
to prayerfully follow what we believe God wants us to do; however, holiday
indulgences toward evil are always wrong and Christ should always be at the
center of a holiday].
Instead of Christ’s life in people, Satan comes in because of the
counterfeit Sabbath experience. Christ and Satan are viewed as
interchangeable by the initiates—the sun representing Satan and mother
earth [the womb of the moon] bearing man christs living by the same life
energy of the sun. They symbolize the two trinities as triangles, with the
moon representing the earth’s trinity and its triangle alligning with the sun
triangle. Both triangles have a single line in the center with one being
parallel to a triangle edge and the other one being perpendicular. Thus,
when the triangles converge at 60 degrees apart, a cross is formed inside of
a Star of David with each of the six corners being 60 degree angles.
Some will argue that the similarities between Christ and the Pagan
mythologies prove that Christ is just a myth Himself; people become atheists
from this! However, we should know better than that. Satan well knew
prophecy and his work is to counterfeit. Thus, he takes glorious spiritual
truths that pertain to redemption—Christ’s incarnation, death on the cross,
and resurrection, with the Sanctuary pointing to these things—and uses
them to cover many errors of darkness inside his package of spiritualism.
Why? He wants to be the Light that Christ is and he wants to be His Spirit on
the earth to possess humans. Therefore, Jesus is replaced by the female
goddess of the moon [also representing the multitudes of other nocturnal
heavenly bodies that are the lesser gods being idolized on earth] to
intercede between earth and the sun, and on earth the fittest will become
mystical christs through the evolution of idolatry to spawn the new age. How
far from the truth! The artificial religions under them see no necessity of
having Christ perfectly in us, the mystery of mysteries, so that the seventh
kingdom can come. This is all hidden from them because the initiates
believe that the counterfeit in its purity is too sacred for them to behold, and
so they are fed with watered-down religion, both lacking Satanic and godly
spiritual purity—just mild spiritualism with a false godhead and sabbath.
However, we know that stronger Spiritualism is planned as the 666 kingdom
competes with the seventh kingdom. Our work is to counteract this
counterfeit and shine the One and Only Jesus fully through a full Sabbath
surrender to Him in ceasing to work our way to Him either in sin or a legalist
faith. Keeping the Sabbath Day separates us from those who neglect this
surrendering faith of Jesus, and it also gives us time to receive this faith
which alone will bring righteousness and peace.
We were created to be the living temple of God, the Bride of Christ.
The knowledge of good and evil is sin, not just sexual sin. Adultery and
fornication are the epitome of all sins because they represent the same truth
we have been studying all along: lusting in our hearts after idols so that our
Husband Jesus is replaced by another, Satan. That is what we need to rest
from. Though Satanism is wrong, we have seen that it meticulously
represents this spiritual adultery in symbols and myths. Perversion of God’s
intended blessing of life—whether it is polygamy, homosexuality, or self
abuse—produces no life but brings only pain to all the victims, including the
committer. Vital forces that could have been used for healing and repair are
depleted from the system, never to return. So it is with all sin as it involved
spiritual adultery—separating from God in thinking we are gods and can
create happier life. It is only deception. Our life and its forces are sacred to
God and only He can create life. A different kind of separation must take
place—separation from every perversion of life. That is what it means to
spiritually be a virgin.
Nowadays, pornography and self-abuse are practiced by the majority
and they must be surrendered to God! Though doctors will deny it,
multitudes of diseases [mental/emotional and physical] result; victims are
told it is natural, if not beneficial. Various names will be given for the
diseases but the causes will be called “unknown.” Fornication is a serious
sin because of what it represents; therefore, the consequences are serious,
especially the private types due to their high frequency and artificiality.
Abstinence through the power of Christ, not more of it to “relieve” (opposite
happens) is the only way out; then peace will come. Being made
accountable to other mature Christians is also a must and programs are
available for this purpose. We do not bring these things up to gross people
out or to be strange, but it is because it is vitally important for life here and
hereafter. Any one sin indulged in, especially sexual sin, causes us to hide
from Christ’s presence as did Adam and Eve. Sin is serious. Prayer is power.
The pagans are not praying people who fear God. Various sects during
various times have made human sacrifices to idols and animals on a daily
basis; it was even done through the lions that Daniel was fed to. The
underlying reason why Satan promotes it is to substitute Christ’s daily
ministration His Sanctuaries. However, the practical reason for it is the
supposed pleasure of adultery. It is done even today by the top people in
various religions. Also recall the connection with the Roman Pagans killing
all the Hebrew babies who were born when Christ took such a form. The root
issue of all this is that Satan wants to possess and destroy humanity so that
most of us will not have a daily sanctifying experience with Jesus in this life
or the next by now accepting His blood and water to cleanse us. Since Satan
could not eternally destroy the Person of Jesus, he is trying to destroy His
Spirit in humanity. One way or the other each one of us will have to
sacrifice our lives. Either we can sacrifice it to idols and perish with
them since they cannot bring life as they are dead themselves, or
we can die to self daily and receive life back again from Him who
gave it to us in the first place. Remember, an idol is anything we
place higher than God and His Word at any given moment in our
hearts. We must rest from abusing ourselves even though it may feel good.
Jesus will always satisfy the heart.
Sexual indulgence, though the most significant, is just one of three
groups of sin which all involve coveting [loving and desiring] the idols of the
world. “Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any
man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that [is] in the
world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is
not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the
lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” (I Jn. 2:15-
17). Since Satan could not get Jesus in Person to fall in these three areas—in
this order—in the wilderness (study Matt. 4:1-11), he tempts us and is very
successful unfortunately. If we would simply take the Word of God as it is
and apply it to our lives on a daily basis, we would stop failing! This is what
Jesus did, and the very fact that He was tempted shows that He could have
sinned. He had no more power than is available to us since He had sacrificed
it to come here in the form of a baby. It is the power of surrendering
ourselves Christ—just as He did to the Father—and receiving His life in us.
Jesus prophesied of our last generation that we would be fully indulged
in these three areas. “But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the
coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage” (Matt.
24:37, 38). Eating physical and mental food is not wrong and necessary for
life. It is the perversion of appetite that is wrong: eating too much and
things that are harmful. Remember, it is in this generation that Christ is
trying to restore us back to Eden. What we really need is to eat the bread,
the flesh, of Christ with His blood; accepting His eternal life sacrificed for us.
Instead of drinking liquor and using other stimulating, mind-altering
drugs such as marijuana, tobacco, and caffeine, we need to drink abundantly
clean, clear detoxifying water—both physically and spiritually (the Word).
Friend, at this time in the earth’s history, counterfeit drink—both physically
[bars, pop machines, coffee shops, etc.] and spiritually [Babylonian doctrines
of devils]—is more prevalent than in any other time of history, just like
sexual perversion. Drugs will not satisfy; they only produce chemicals that
excite the nervous system to wear it down over time. Multitudes turn to
them because they are low and want to boost their self-esteem—fallen
humanity has treated them poorly and they do not know the True Healer.
This is the very generation that Jesus will reveal Himself to in vision. “And
the LORD answered me, and said, write the vision, and make [it] plain upon
tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision [is] yet for an
appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry,
wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul
[which] is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his
faith. Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a proud
man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and
[is] as death, and cannot be satisfied” (Hab. 2:2-5).
Instead of spiritual fornication of idolatry, and the universal spiritualism
[Satan possessing humanity] that follows, the vision tells us to have Christ in
humanity through the full Sabbath experience. This is also symbolized
through the Communion service. “Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye
should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all
passed through the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in
the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same
spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:
and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well
pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were
our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they
also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as [were] some of them; as it is
written, the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither
let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day
three and twenty thousand … The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not
the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not
the communion of the body of Christ? For we [being] many are one bread,
[and] one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread … But I [say], that
the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to
God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. Ye cannot
drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be
partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. Do we
provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? Whether
therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of
God.” (I Cor. 10:1-8, 16-18, 21, 22, 31). This is the underlying issue: do we
continue thinking we can have our own religion by amalgamating our lusts
and God’s promises? It is pure deception, the confusion of Babylon.
In order to have life we must eat, drink, and unite to reproduce.
However, these physical things lead into the spiritual realm. We can either
take in all the supposed glory of the world to be conformed into its Satanic-
Babylonian image, or take in the immortalized glory of heaven by beholding
Christ who left all to redeem us from our mess. By beholding we become
changed. Christ wants us to unite with Him so that His life can be
reproduced in us. It takes humility! This is why the foot washing service of
washing others’ feet is so important before communion service. We cannot
inherit God’s promises without first denying our own lusts, for these
promises come to us only through God’s great sacrifice! Humility is the spirit
behind the full Sabbath experience. Study John 13; therein Jesus says to us,
“Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for [so] I am. If I then,
[your] Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to
wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye
should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, the
servant is not greater than his lord … If ye know these things, happy
are ye if ye do them” (v. 13-17). If we carry this out practically in life, and
remind ourselves of it several times each year through Communion service,
God will be glorified in us. After His Communion with the disciples, “Jesus
said, now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him … A
new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I
have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all [men]
know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another (v. 31, 34, 35).
Hours later, Jesus temporarily died in Person, spilling out blood and water to
redeem mankind who will in the last generation shine in the fullness of His
presence!
This vision will become intensify as we continue studying the Godhead
issue. If you happen to have a U.S. dollar bill, look on the back of it. The
pyramid says it all. Altogether it is Satan [the sun], idols [the moon], and
self [the earth]: the mystery of iniquity. The body of it is sitting on the
ground. This is the earthly trinity—consciousness [through Spiritualism, the
wine of Babylon], knowledge [the idols to make the Satanic union possible;
spiritual adultery], and the material [flesh of man coveting after the idol
experiences of sin. The top triangle is the cap of it, the source of life—the
sun. The halo can be seen in the art of the various religions, especially
around counterfeit pictures of Jesus, subliminally indicating that Satan wants
to be in the place of Christ of the Human Sanctuary. Inside is the all-seeing-
eye—crescent in shape as it is comparable to the moon. This is what the
initiates believe is meant by Adam and Eve having their eyes opened. They
believe that when the two triangles unite—when humans fully learn to be
ethical by their own efforts and experiences with sin at large—the new order
of the world will begin. Read the writing above and below the image:
“annuit” [PROVIDENCE (which they believe is Satanic forces) DECLARES]
“coeptis” [THE ESTABLISHMENT OF] “novus ordo seclorum” [THE NEW
ORDER OF THE AGES]. They came to establish the America that the
persecuted Protestants fled to for this very purpose.
Just as Christ has not come yet, the New World Order for the New Age
has not come. A breach still stands between the two triangles. Why?
Because true Providence is in control of all things and the 666 Kingdom of
“U.N., U.S., and the Vatican” cannot come until the loud cry to flee from this
system of Babylon warns the whole world; that is only fair. Various attempts
have been made by the initiates to bring it forward and they are
dumbfounded as to why it does not happen. What happens is that God
allows for disunity among the initiates so that different ideas and plans of the
New Age exist to slow things down (review Rev. 7:1-4). The 666 Kingdom
will unite when all of their religions unite through spiritualism, thus repairing
the breach in the counterfeit Zion. Satan will be fully united with man, but it
will last only for a short time before the seventh kingdom begins—“God: New
Jerusalem.” Yet first, seventh seal must begin, indicating that the seal of
God is permanently stamped in the hearts of the 144,000 saints with the
same words. Because they accepted God’s authority over their lives through
fully surrendering to Him in Sabbath rest, theirs is the New Jerusalem, and
through them, all of their spiritual ancestors [those who followed the
progressing light] will inherit the same. His name is His character, and it will
be replicated in the 144,000 perfectly with all sin removed—both Sanctuaries
fully cleansed. The only thing that is holding it back is genuine faith—faith
that the lovely Word, Jesus, will: do what He says, be who He is: remove sins.
“But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of
Israel; after those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their
inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and
they shall be my people” (Jer. 31:33).
Think of it this way. Plant seed never dies. It is planted and
transformed into plants with fruit that contain the same seed to be planted
again. The cycle continues. It is the same way with us humans, and we are
in the last cycle! We, most of us Gentiles, living the seed of both ancient
saints [Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc.] and Christ [the Life Giver and Redeemer
of all], with His Spirit and Word in us, are to fulfill the great mystery of
redemption. The seventh trumpet began with the Third Angel’s Message.
The message will become reality by the time of the trumpet’s woe [the 3rd
woe; the 7 last plagues warned of by the 3rd message] as Christ’s life is fully
sealed in humanity. The breach humanity made in not accepting the
Sabbath will be repaired by the Sabbath itself—resting in the presence of
God, in whom there is no presence of sin. He is the Fourth Angel who gives
the loud cry of the third message because He has lived it and will live it in us
who now have this full light—His righteousness by His faith! He will arise
among the willing hearts of Zion—not the great Babylonian pyramid of pain—
with healing in His wings (review Mal. 4:1-6). “For I would not, brethren,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in
your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until
the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be
saved: as it is written, there shall come out of Sion the Deliverer,
and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: for this [is] my
covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” (Rom. 11:25-
27).

CHAPTER 12: TWO KEYS UNLOCK MYSTERY OF GODLINESS VISION

We are gaining momentum with the vision—the mystery of godliness

revealed. To continue, the Godhead issue must be fully addressed lest the
vision be still clouded by the spiritualism of Babylon. As we approach this
issue we must realize its sacredness and not create any new false theory,
which is often done in this area. What the Bible reveals is for our
understanding and that is what we will go by. Particulars of the Godhead
sidetrack at best and blaspheme God at worst; therefore, we will remain
silent on such. Some questions we will understand when we get to heaven
while others we will never understand since God is infinite. Just as the
initiates have a heavenly and an earthly trinity to unite within and together
so that man and Satan can be united through idols, the Bible reveals a
similar pattern to unite man and God back together from the breach that
separates them. The repair is done through none other than Jesus, the only
Mediator between heaven and earth—His life in us heals the gap. “What
thing shall I take to witness for thee? What thing shall I liken to thee, O
daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O
virgin daughter of Zion? For thy breach [is] great like the sea: who can
heal thee? Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and
they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity.” “Their
heart cried out unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let
tears run down like a river day and night … Arise, cry … pour out
thine heart like water before the face of the Lord” (Lam. 2:13, 14, 19).
Will we arise from our spiritual slumber and cry for the healing of our people?
Jesus has already been making the cry; He is waiting for us to unite with Him.
Healing tears can only come from a willing heart to separate from the cause
of pain and division, then light will come to restore. Dry ceremonies and
half-hearted religious duties must end! Jesus wants to discuss with us
on an individual basis what is on our hearts daily. He wants us to
simply believe that He can heal, so much so that we will invariably
act on His healing methods. Babylon, however, will not take heed
because she wants what is on her own heart and to stay that way.
In these last days, the spirit of Babylon is being washed out through
the breaches in Zion’s walls.
Ezekiel gives us insight on these two opposing patterns, each
containing a gap—the former to be filled by Christ’s life of righteousness by
faith [received by beholding Him in spiritual vision] and the latter to be filled
by spiritualism [divination]. “And the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying, son of man, what [is] that proverb [that] ye have in the land of
Israel, saying, the days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell
them therefore, thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease,
and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them,
the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. For there shall
be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house
of Israel. For I [am] the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall
speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your
days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it,
saith the Lord GOD. Thus saith the Lord GOD; woe unto the foolish
prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! O Israel, thy
prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. Ye have not gone up into
the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand
in the battle in the day of the LORD. They have seen vanity and
lying divination, saying, the LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent
them. And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that
divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall
they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter
into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD. Because,
even because they have seduced my people, saying, peace; and
[there was] no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it
with untempered [mortar]: say unto them which daub [it] with untempered
[mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O
great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend [it]. Lo, when the
wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, where [is] the daubing
wherewith ye have daubed [it]? Because with lies ye have made the
heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and
strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return
from his wicked way, by promising him life: therefore ye shall see no
more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your
hand: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD” (12:21-25; 13:3-6, 9-12, 22,
23). Ezekiel then continues by speaking of idols set up in the heart, thus
distinguishing the inhabitants of the two cities.
You see, there are two walls: one around spiritual Jerusalem [Zion] and
one around spiritual Babylon. Both cities may profess to be of Israel [of
Christ] but one is genuine while the other is not. Babylon uses the promises
[namely natural immortality] and some of the spiritual material that
Jerusalem uses, but then mixes in many lies [untempered mortar], thus
creating spiritualism—that you can have everlasting life while living in sin.
This is the master delusion, the mystery of iniquity! Now that we are in the
third millennium after Rome, the walls of spiritual Jerusalem are being rebuilt
—the gaps are being filled with Christ’s life of Sabbath rest from sin as
established in the first millennium in His Person. These three days [prophetic
1000 years] add to the 46 days [prophetic years] to create the prerequisite
for the Jubilee of rest in heaven. Meanwhile, spiritualism is uniting the world
into the conspired confederacy (review Ezek. 22:25-31; Is. 16:8, 9) of 666.
However, the seven last plagues will destroy the walls of Babylon soon after
they are built, for their material was not the solid Rock of Jesus who alone
can give eternal rest. Babylon long had the vision to create a new world in a
new age of her own design so that Satan could possess the world completely
under the pretenses of “peace.” However, the vision of Habakkuk will be the
one fulfilled since God is stronger than Satan and fallen man. This vision
has now ceased to tarry in the prolonged time of the seventh
trumpet which began in 1844! “For the earth shall be filled with the
knowledge of the glory of the LORD” (Hab. 2:14). Jesus is speaking
His righteousness into His people today and it is being fulfilled as
envisioned, because they are justified in living by His faith and
refusing to hear Babylon speak lies in her assemblies. Babylon’s wall
will fall, thus exposing her to the woeful wrath of God to be destroyed
completely, just as she fell from the truth over time until the final onslaught
of her supposed power.
The walls of both Jerusalem and Babylon remain broken down with
gaps at this time—gaps between the two trios. Study carefully the following
reference: “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and
every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his
commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh
the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even]
our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that
Jesus is the Son of God? This is he that came by water and blood, [even]
Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit
that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that
bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth,
the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we
receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the
witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the
Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made
him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and
this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath
not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that
ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of
God. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not. And we know that
the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may
know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son
Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life” (I Jn. 5:1, 3-13, 18,
20). Thus, we see that two trios exist: the heavenly one and the earthly one.
The counterfeit heavenly is the sun, moon, and earth; the earthly is man’s
conscience (spirit), knowledge (mind), and physical (body) self.
Let us take the whole text in its context and also in relation to God’s
remnant people at the end of time: “Here is the patience of the saints: here
[are] they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the
remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have
the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Rev. 14:12; 12:17). Only the Spirit of
Truth will produce this experience, and the spirit of error [the spirit of anti-
Christ] comes from the dragon who wants to be in the place of Christ (see I
Jn. 4:3-6). For it is Christ who is Spirit [life] and truth. “Jesus saith unto him I
am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. Now if any
man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ [be] in
you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of
righteousness. [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages
and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints …
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Jn. 14:6; 6:63; Rom. 8:9, 10;
Col. 1:26, 27). Nevertheless, Satan uses humans, mystical ideas, miracles,
and various idols to supplant Jesus with other mediators as symbolized by
the moon which only appears in the darkness of night. Even when people
look at the sun too long, symbolizing Satan, they will become blinded into
darkness. Therefore, Christ is “the true Light, which lighteth every man that
cometh into the world. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God … All things were made by him … In
him was life; and the life was the light of men” (Jn. 1:9, 1-3).
Are you starting to see the parallels? From the beginning, The Word =
life = Spirit = light; therefore, the Word and the Spirit, as well as the whole
earthly trio, are all from the same Source: Jesus. The Father has given us all
of heaven in the gift of His Son if we believe in all who He is and does for our
salvation. God is revealing the great mystery of redemption to us, the last
generation, just as Paul prophesied. We were created to be happy and keep
the commandments of God. However, we followed darkness instead of light
because we perceived it as attractive light due to Satan’s occult tactics and a
lack of faith—though its measure is given to everyone who enters the world
(see Rom. 12:3). Therefore, God out of love sought to save us. Both the
Father and the Son [Word] agreed to offer the latter as a sacrifice. Sin
[breaking God’s commandments] brings eternal death to the sinner;
therefore, only eternal life could be given to undo it. But who, besides the
Father, has everlasting life? The Bible has just plainly revealed it to us. But
how could He give it, considering that this same individual must die an
everlasting death to pay the penalty for the sinner? Only one way is
possible. He is the way.
Jesus had to come in the flesh of humanity to bear our sins.
However, His Spirit—His divine omnipresence [being in all places at
once], omnipotence [having infinite power], and omniscience
[having all knowledge] which are far too high for us to understand—
had to be emptied from Himself to be separated from His
personality of humanity for eternity. Why? This was an example for
us to empty self from our supposed power, which is really foolish
lusts, so that we can receive the same power Jesus, in Person, gave
to us. He separated Himself because we have separated ourselves
from God because of our sins; He bore the eternal separation so
that ours from God would not be eternal. This selfless, loving
character is who God is!
“Grace [be] to you and peace from God the Father, and [from]
our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might
deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God
and our Father … Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us
from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous
of good works. For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of
the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” Jesus says,
“[Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because
it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you
comfortless: I will come to you. But the Comforter, [which is] the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I
give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your
heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Jesus says, “I am poured
out like water” (Gal. 1:3, 4; Tit. 2:14; Hab. 2:14; Jn. 14:17, 18, 26, 27; Ps.
22:14). The final remnant of humanity, like Enoch and Elijah, will
never die because His divine power will become too strong in them
after the latter rain since they chose the life of Christ—with His faith
and His righteousness—over their own. He also gave up His eternal
Spirit because any sin or sinner in contact with His infinite power
two millennia ago would have been killed instantly. With full
immortality, He would have never been able to bear the sins of the
world and to die from them breaking His loving heart in the spring
of 31. Confused? Keep reading. “Therefore being by the right hand of
God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the
Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. For
David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The
Lord … [Father] … said unto my Lord … [Jesus] … sit thou on my
right hand” (Acts 2:33; study Ps. 110:1 & Matt. 22:42-26).
You see, at His incarnation two things happened; they are the same
two fundamentals issues we continue to study—heaven and humanity
(earth). He eternally gave us His Holy Spirit and eternally gained the form of
humanity, thus providing a double tie to bind us to Him. This is how and
when He gained the two titles of Son of God [through the Father supporting
the separation, the name given prior to this occurrence of promise] and Son
of Man [through mortal Mary]. Through His incarnation, He, even in Person,
did not lose His divine title of God, since it is who He is—His character, His
name, His Word … the same character His Spirit possesses since He came
from Him; in fact, His Spirit’s Word spoke Him into existence in Mary’s womb.
“And the Word was made flesh” (Jn. 1:14); the same can happen to us as
spiritual Mary, yet like literal Mary, it was not her spirit who spoke it,
therefore we cannot be gods. Now, if it were the Father’s Spirit who spoke it,
neither could Jesus be God. Though always called the Word—being with God
the Father and being God Himself [“I am”]—He became man. “God” can
either refer to the Father, the Son, or both. Therefore, the Hebrew word for
them is “Elohim,” which is plural [Greek in the New Testament uses “Theos”
and is the same. The “LORD” can refer to either of them individually and in
Hebrew is “Yahweh” or “Jehovah,” however pronounced. What is important
is that the same names are used for both of them, and therefore they share
the same primary character based on their Commandments even though
they may have unique secondary personalities. How did Christ not sin when
he became flesh? Not by being God.
The Father has Divine Spirit too. Since Jesus lost His, He had to
depend on the Father’s. By this faith He manifested in the Father did He
maintain righteousness. Thus, He could have sinned and this is why Satan
tempted Him in the wilderness. Another wilderness experience came later in
His life on earth in the Garden of Gethsemane. This is when He started to
bear all the sins of the world. Yet, no one was to help Him. The weight of
sins was so strong that it separated Him from the Father, and His own
disciples even abandoned Him when He needed them the most. Yet, His own
faith sustained Him by the fervent, continual communing experience with His
Father he had His whole life. His temporary death in Person sealed His
testimony of His living faith on behalf of man’s salvation, symbolized by His
water and blood. Shortly after, He went back up to the Father for His life of
righteousness to be accepted. Then He could send His Comforter, none
other than His own Spirit, to man for his salvation based on the merits of His
life in Person to overcome the world (see Jn. 14 & 16). He prior spoke of His
Spirit in third person just as He spoke of His physical Person whom He called
“Son of Man” among other things.
The testimony of the life of Jesus depending on His Father for salvation
is to reveal to us how we are to depend upon Jesus for salvation. His
testimony is to become ours; and what does it testify of? His faith! As we
manifest it, we will testify of it to others. Thus, we will be keeping the Ten
Commandments of love. Eventually, it is to become so ingrained in us that
the faith becomes entirely our own (see Heb. 12:1-3; I Jn. 5:4). We will
experience the Gethsemane when intercession for sins cease and the seven
last plagues begin. Yet we will be safe. The Sabbath of surrendering to God
—the Third Angel’s Message of righteousness by faith—will have sealed
those of us who accept it. Though Jesus died to attain it, we will live by
attaining it through Him.
Now we can much more fully appreciate this gift because we see its
awesome, unfathomable importance. Though spirits of antichrist will always
deny it, Christ in Person came into human flesh so that Christ in Spirit could
come into human flesh to redeem it from sin’s ruin. Why was He willing to
give such an expensive gift? Only love impels Him. But really, why? He
places possession of His character infinitely higher than power. He
demonstrated this, not by coming to this world in an extravagant
display to show how big He, but by giving up His own power
eternally, not by coming to this world in an extravagant display to
show how big He is! It is the one message He desires to show the
whole universe and the purpose of our planet’s existence. He wants
all to have His character because it is His beautiful own original,
unborrowed, underived life of love making all around it cheerfully at
rest. He forsook all to give it, and we must forsake all—our own
motives and desires of idols—to receive it. His power, rather than
creating arrogance, is the means cleanse us from sin so that His
character is revealed. This is why, now that we are in the time of
the latter rain, we must pray for this power. He is now to fully come
in Spirit, being inseparable to the Truth of the full Sabbath message
to those who accept it. All sin must be absent before His life is
perfectly replicated in His people so that He can come in Person; we
have been in this long tarrying time since 1844 when the seventh
trumpet first began. Then, when we who bear His Spirit unite with
Him, the mystery of godliness will be complete: Jesus and His bride
who He died to save, no longer separate, but together and complete
in glory! The vision to precede this has ceased to tarry and soon it
will be reality. God the Father will be perfectly satisfied in giving up
His Son to humanity and be exceedingly happier than He was before
perfect humanity came! Heaven will be full of joy to receive Earth’s
faithful remnants of all ages!
No other generation could understand this mystery, even though it has
always been in the Bible. The new age initiates think they know it but do not
because they turn it into darkness with their spiritualism. Parts of it we will
never comprehend, even in eternity, since it is far too grand even for the
Bible to convey. People have seen the inconsistencies with the trinity
doctrine [three persons in one God], so they have often tried to explain it
more biblically, some more than others. However, the tendency has been to
develop their own errors. We refute these as well. The Holy Spirit not only
exists but is the Third Personality of the Godhead—not just an essence of
energy. Also, Jesus was not created, nor is He lesser in status than the
Father. You see, both Trinitarians and many Non-Trinitarians alike have
drunk from the Babylonian cup of spiritualism.
Two true trios exist. The Heavenly [the Godhead of Father, Word, and
Holy Ghost] represents neither one God nor three Gods. If Jesus originally
came from God the Father, He would not truly be original—Alpha and Omega
—nor even God! A created living thing is a creature and not God, though
Satan and his initiates would dispute it so they can themselves be gods. The
Third Personality of the Godhead is the same God as the Second, just now
separate in function: the Spirit being not cumbered with humanity yet still
bonding with us to unite us to Bridegroom Jesus who became human with us.
However, before Their incarnation they were the same Person just as God
the Father is with His Spirit. Though “Elohim” literally means “Gods,” it is
most acceptable to say “God” due to our modern language and since both
have the same character and purpose anyway (study Gen. 1:26, 27; Ps.
45:7, margin; 110:1-4; Matt. 22:41-46!). The trinity concept to describe
the Heavenly Trio is therefore unbiblical and God’s people will become sober
from this Babylonian fruit made for her wine. Remember, Sunday
sacredness and the “holy” trinity are the two most prized doctrines of Rome.
The six 111’s adding to 666 in the ancient amulets fitly represents the
principle of “one” god in three parts.
The earthly trio maintains the Holy Spirit of the Heavenly Trio. The
blood and the water literally flow from Jesus in Person, and yet the Spirit
contains both attributes spiritually, thus making the three of them
inseparable. The blood represents both His incarnation sacrifice and His
death on the cross, meaning His life to remove our sins. The water
represents the washing of His Word. It carries the merits of His blood’s
atonement and the Spirit carries the Word to us. Thus, both trios have parts
separate in dignity and role but are united in purpose. This oneness does
not indicate a single God, for the earthly trio is not even the Godhead but
just attributes of Jesus! We are also included in this oneness as Jesus pleads:
“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou
hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that
they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they
may be made perfect in one” (Jn. 17:21-23). God is pleural [two
Deities/three Identities] and only mentioned as “one” to distinguish the
Pagan idea that many gods exist that who not united but opposed [a perfect
depiction of fallen humanity] and to show that no other Gods exist anywhere
else. To not worship Jesus will prevent us from worshiping the Father while
not worshiping the Father is to worship a counterfeit Jesus; therefore, both
must be worshiped, not a third mystical being which Satan loves to
personate.
Praise our Lord and Saviour that His Holy Spirit is not a mystical being
apart from the authentic source of Himself! As we surrender to Him, we can
glory that He is right here with us, not just in a distant place in heaven. His
Spirit, His very own life, is the link between the two trios—thus repairing the
breach of sin between heaven and earth—and is continually communing with
His Person and the Father beyond our level of comprehension. We receive
the three elements of Jesus on earth that make us one with the God of
heaven. His blood still atones for sin on the heavenly end while His Spirit still
removes sin on the earthly end, thus the two sanctuaries. This breach is
sealed up only as individuals surrender to Him through the threefold Sabbath
experience—die to self, be cleansed by His Word, and receive His presence
in every aspect of the life. No other way brings happiness or lasting life. It
all comes from Jesus as we rest from our own works, yet it is a continual
endeavor to choose. This is a choice neither God nor man can make for
others.
Until the end, Satan will tempt us to covet idols instead of
righteousness so that his presence is in every aspect of our lives. He has
convinced his initiates that the sun has one mystical essence that gives life
to everyone so that he can be the one monotheistic god of Pantheism to
possess humanity through idols. Monotheism has its roots in Lucifer who
tricked the fallen angels into believing that Jesus was not always God and
therefore should not have His privilege of communing secretly with the
Father. He taught that because Jesus was trying to become a new God to
advocate His law, their “freedom” would become restricted; however, the
same has happened in Lucifer instead of Jesus, in the law of sin instead of
the law of love. After it was clear that Jesus would be God and since he was
not allowed to become a third God [which He still tries to do on earth], he
decided to reject the supremacy of Christ and start a new order of
government and religion as a self-proclaimed god to supposedly mitigate the
confusion of having two Gods somewhat opposed to each other. Yet we
know that both the Father and the Son are united in purpose but separate in
dignity, just like their principles of mercy and justice. Satan still thinks he
can do it today through his initiates and others he possesses. He uses the
same pattern of having two opposing forces [such as in sports, politics, and
drama which he loves because of debate and competition] so that people are
distracted and forget about the real and vital battle between Christ and
himself, good and evil. As stated before, he also creates numerous opposing
forces to create chaos so that people will accept a new synthesis closer to
his agenda. You will want to read the first chapter of “Patriarchs and
Prophets” by Ellen White when you get the chance for more details on the
origins of sin.
Friend, will you build up the gaps in the wall of Jerusalem or of
Babylon? It is the choice between the Sabbath or spiritualism, Jesus or
mystic replacement. The day you specially worship God on will indicate your
decision since we have fully investigated the roots of both systems. You can
choose to be “free” from God, His law, and life or Satan, sin, and death. The
wall of Jerusalem cannot be complete until the Trinitarian holes that Babylon
caused are found and repaired since the counterfeit Sabbath and godhead
are one in the same. The understanding of the true now enables us to fully
undo what the alpha [Pantheism] and omega of apostasy in the SDA
Church has done. The omega came most prominently in a widely accepted
book called “Questions on Doctrine” (1957) by LeRoy Froom, which
Interestingly, Kellogg had did away with (1) the Christ’s human nature
and (2) His atonement in the Heavenly Sanctuary; and dignified the
trinity doctrine. Interestingly, Kellogg also accepted the trinity after
publishing “The Living Temple.”
The alpha and omega confuse the personality of God and fully
embrace the mystery of iniquity—that we are inherantly “saved”
with Christ in us and can keep on living in sin. Yet in reality,
whenever we selfishly cleave to our idols and sin, it is the spirit of
Satan that is in us. Therefore, it is pure spiritualism. From what we
have now discovered of the incarnation, we can know that we are to
overcome in Christ just how He did in the Father while in His human nature—
by the power of His Spirit [grace] through His faith, in which there is no sin
(review Eph. 2:8). The false Godhead no longer obstructs our view. Before
we can fully comprehend the beautiful vision of Jesus, we must more fully
grasp the second issue of the omega. Then we will see clearly. Please pray
about these two issues of present truth that the omega has paralyzed with
error; do not let them make you stumble and lose the wonderful message as
a whole. You will see that the vision is divided into two parts where these
two very issues fall; therefore, though controversial, they must be revealed
at this time.
 “Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our]
God. Thou hast with [thine] arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and
Joseph. Selah.” (Ps. 77:13, 15). The Sanctuary is where redemption takes
place and it also the means whereby we can visualize the gospel of that
redemption. Recall the two kinds of services in the Old Testament Sanctuary
—the daily [evening and morning services] and the annual, namely the Day
of Atonement. The daily involved a whole burnt offering of a lamb both
morning and evening. This was for atonement of the corporate sins of Israel.
On the Sabbath Day, two, or double, of these sacrifices occurred both
morning and evening, thus making four for the day—four because of the
Fourth Commandment which the Fourth Angel [Jesus] wrote with His own
finger and desires to illustrate through His glorious vision the fullness of it in
our last generation; double because of the grandiose significance of the
Sabbath … the sacrifice of the Passover Lamb which typifies of Jesus and
how He would rest in the grave on Passover Sabbath Day to seal the
everlasting covenant with His People by His perfectly righteous life so that
the eternal Jubilee Sabbath could commence. Without this sacrifice, the
sacrifice of His incarnation would have none effect and all would be lost!
Furthermore, we know that the seventh millennial Sabbath which
preceding the Jubilee must wait until the everlasting covenant is
sealed in His people, thus the work of the Fourth Angel and His
vision for our time which is the sealing of the fullness of His law [His
own character carried by His own Spirit] in our hearts. It is
beholding and transmitting His glory, the faith and testimony of
Jesus, the full Sabbath experience. The three messages preceding
and contained in this fourth one are the same as the first three
commandments: (1) Fearing God alone in faithful surrender; (2)
having a daily experience with the Word of Life to cleanse us from
daily Babylonian system of lusting after her idols; and (3)
representing Christ’s righteous character [name] instead of
blaspheming it through a counterfeit faith.
Distinguished from the daily corporate sacrifices, sin offerings existed
for the purpose of atoning for individuals’ sins. They could come to the
Sanctuary anytime throughout the day to bring in various sacrifices. They
would kill the animals themselves and confess their sins for them, knowing
that their sins caused the deaths of innocent victims. However, the
Ultimate Innocent Victim’s Sacrifices—death to His Spirit [so He
could bear the sins of humanity] and death to His Person [a result of
bearing those sins]—was looked forward as a promise to those living
in the Old Testament, though this was not seen its full light. The
Old Testament with its ceremonial law came 430 years after
Abraham, who originally was promised the everlasting covenant for
him and his seed/blood/progeny by faith of the merits of the future
Messiah; in other words, it was the old testimony of Jesus. We now
have the new testimony of Jesus—taking it in by faith and testifying
it to others—Christ’s two great sacrifices of blood to redeem us from
breaking the two tables of His law. This New Testament of Jesus is
now shining with fullest light so that Abraham’s seed will receive
Christ’s seed—His lovely character—in His blood in the fullest sense.
Hence, the mystery of godliness will be fulfilled on earth, as a
testimony to the whole universe. Then, after her seventh
millennium, all sin with its pain will be permanently destroyed and
all under the covenant will receive her land as an inheritance. “Now
to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, and to
seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I
say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law,
which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should
make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is]
no more of promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by promise.
Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of transgressions,
till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was]
ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator” (Gal. 3:16-19).
Just as two different sacrifices existed on a daily basis to represent
Christ—morning/evening burnt offerings and sin offerings—two different
ones also existed on an annual basis on the Day of Atonement—the Lord’s
goat and the bullock (see Lev. 16:27). Let us look deeper into all of these
sacrifices. “And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for
himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.” “But
Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast
the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” “Wherefore
in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he
might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to
make reconciliation for the sins of the people” (Lev. 16:6; Heb. 3:6; 2:17).
Jesus did not die for His own sins, unlike for the high priest in the Old
Testament. A bullock rather than a lamb was used for this sacrifice because
Jesus became sin for us. “The LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us
all.” “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we
might be made the righteousness of God in him” (Is. 53:6; II Cor. 5:21).
Jesus eternally took the form of humanity so that he could bear our sins. In
doing this, He represents perfect humanity before the Father in being the
Passover Lamb to stand in place of us, and as we allow Him to remove our
sins, He bears them in being the Atonement Bullock. Without this, we would
be without hope, without a second probation after our failure of sin. What an
awesome mystery of an awesome God! Yet there is much more.
The Old Testament bullock was burnt in the Courtyard, but then a
unique thing happened. The high priest “shall take a censer full of burning
coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet
incense beaten small, and bring [it] within the veil: and he shall put the
incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may
cover the mercy seat that [is] upon the testimony, that he die not” (Lev.
16:12, 13). It was during the morning and evening daily burnt offering when
incense was added to the Golden Altar by the high priest; meanwhile, the
Israelites were to face the direction of the Sanctuary and pray to God. Thus,
we can see the connection between the two corporate sacrifices—one daily,
one annual—both representing Christ to bear the sins of the world to cause
His death on the cross. Besides bearing the corporate sin of humanity for all
ages “by means of death,” this also was good “for the redemption of the
transgressions that were under the First Testament (Heb. 9:15). Why? “For
[it is] not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins”
(10:4). Therefore, these sacrifices acted like debt on a credit card for Old
Testament Israelites. Christ paid the wages of the debt of death for their
individual sins as they in faith looked forward to this promise of when He
should purchase mankind back from sin with His own life. Still, we have not
covered what happens to the individual sins of New Testament Israelites
[Christians] because we have seen only part of what is involved in the
infinitely valuable incense of Christ’s intercession.
Individuals’ sin offerings involved taking the blood to the two horns of
the Golden Altar inside the Sanctuary. For us today, this represents our
prayers being sent to the Heavenly Sanctuary where Jesus intercedes,
whether it is repentance, praise, thanksgiving, or requests. But what does
this blood represent knowing that the blood of the morning and evening
burnt offerings represents Christ’s blood shed on the cross for to redeem our
race, and how are these prayers brought to the Sanctuary? We must
examine the two goats in the Day of Atonement.
We have already learned that the scapegoat represents Satan. He is
the originator and tempter to our sins and thus he will bear them during
earth’s 1000 year desolation and be the last to eternally die at which time
sin will be destroyed once and for all. “And the goat shall bear upon him all
their iniquities unto a land not inhabited” (Lev. 16:22). The Lord’s goat,
then, is Jesus. “He has poured out His soul unto death: and he was
numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made
intercession for the transgressors” (Is. 53:12). He had to die eternally to His
Spirit, yet both He and His Spirit still lives, while Satan will die. It is because
living blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat where Christ now stands, which
is above His law which never dies, whereas Satan has fled from the Law of
Life and manifests neither mercy nor justice for poor mortal sinners.
Jesus emptied out His soul unto death so that our souls could live by
His own life given to us. “For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and
I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your
souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul. I
will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life
freely” (Lev. 17:11; Rev. 21:6). Friend, Jesus is among us pouring out His
tears to save us from our sins, but He will not come into our lives unless we
desire Him to, nor will Satan the scapegoat. We can choose our desires
which dictate our motives, and if we choose Jesus, He will give us desires, or
thirst, to repent and receive Him. Though He and the Father endured a
painful process in this sacrifice of blood, it becomes water to our souls after
we willingly surrender as they have done.
 “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and
in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not” (I Jn. 3:5, 6). Thus,
the Lord’s goat [removing sins] undoes what the scapegoat does [originating
sins]. It is His Spirit. This is the Power that both will “cleanse us from all
unrighteousness” when we “confess our sins” (I Jn. 1:9) and will carry our
prayers and confessions back to Himself in the Heavenly Sanctuary for our
records to be clean. There, He mixes His bullock-type blood [His sacrifice of
perfect human nature] with this goat-type blood [His Holy Spirit of sacrifice]
to atone for whatever our individual sins are, just as the two bloods were
anciently mixed in the earthly tabernacle on the Day of Atonement. Though
the sin hurts His heart beyond what we can understand, He still willingly
does it because He loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Much of His
tearful pain is for seeing our own pain that we do not discern is from sin;
thus, He loves it when we choose to claim His blood. It is an absolute
necessity for us to live. Satan must then flee as this power is too
frightening to him. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double
minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to
mourning, and [your] joy to heaviness. Humble yourselves in the sight of the
Lord, and he shall lift you up. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and
deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity” (James 4:7-10).
Does it sound strange to you that the Holy Spirit is the soul of Jesus
and that atonement for sins was not finished at the cross? Please
understand that Old Testament Israelites would not be justified in relying
upon the corporate daily burnt offerings for their individual sins and neglect
their sin offerings. This would have been entirely presumptuous for such a
person as he would have had “trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath
counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy
thing” (Heb. 10:29). Today we must understand that doing away with the
Heavenly Sanctuary does away with both of the sacrifices of Jesus. It also
does away with the law, the need to confess our sins, the grace Holy Spirit to
sanctify us, and ultimately our salvation. The cross has somewhat become
an idol to many while at the same time free “grace” and worldliness is
favored over surrender and sacrifice, the true meaning of Christ’s crucifixion.
It is time to stop drinking the wine of Babylon and drink the water of life. Do
not feel offended by being wrong in certain points your whole life. Jesus
understands and wants you to shine the new light He has put upon your
pathway.
Even though the Holy Spirit is not literal blood, it is inseparable with
the Christ’s literal blood since both are the life of Christ. We now understand
that individual sins are purged by mixing both bloods from both sacrifices, as
represented by (1) the Lord’s goat and sin offerings; (2) and the bullock and
the daily burnt offerings. Sin is confessed, carried to Jesus by the Holy Spirit,
mixed with the merits of His perfect human blood that sealed the covenant
by His death on the cross, and this righteousness enters into the form of His
Word and is carried back to us through the Holy Spirit so that we are
cleansed. This is the process simplified. Our part is healthy choices and
penitent confessions when we fail; daily prayer and Bible study to sustain
this. However, has it struck you yet that Christ is still bleeding in the
Heavenly Sanctuary? “But Christ being come an high priest of good things to
come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that
is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but
by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having
obtained eternal redemption [for us]. And almost all things are by the law
purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. [It
was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should
be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better
sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with
hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to
appear in the presence of God for us” (Heb. 9:11, 12, 22-24). This is not
make believe.
Since 1844, He has been in the Most Holy Place of this Heavenly
Sanctuary so that both He there, and His Spirit’s House of the Humanly
Sanctuary, can be cleansed from sin. Satan is playing the game of life with
each of us and the greatest satisfaction he receives is to know that he is
causing pain to the heart of Christ. It is pure jealousy and hatred. Every
moment is of vital importance because this is when both temptations to sin
and opportunities for good occur. We should expect that we will be tempted
and that it begins in our minds. Watchfulness and prayer, so often
mentioned in the Bible, are our best safeguards. No longer should our
religion consist of doing things because we have to for our own salvation.
Our continual motives should be to glorify Christ on earth while easing His
burden in heaven by ceasing to pollute His two sacred Sanctuaries with sin.
This will include putting others above ourselves, which may be awkward or
unpleasant at times, but a joyful peace will follow.
If it is repugnant to think of Christ still shedding His blood, this is the
very point: sin should be repugnant to us, so much so that we would rather
die than sin and hurt the One who gave such an infinite sacrifice to redeem
us. Every individual is so important to Him that He and the Father would
have gone through the whole ordeal just to save one. Remember, each of us
is unique and through His unthinkable incarnation He is able to provide a
one-of-a-kind incarnation of His Spirit in each of us to be glorified each time
in a special way. This glory is not merely for Him. No! It is for all of His
created beings to experience special manifestations of His awesome beauty
for all eternity, and every moment opportunities come and go for souls to be
won or lost to heaven.
His same wounds that He suffered on the cross will not heal until His
Prized Temple is completely cleansed … cleansed by His very blood. Keep in
mind that the sword that went through His side pierced His heart. This is the
center of His hurting and healing … “and there [was] the hiding of his
power” (Hab. 3:4). Whether or not Christ suffers physical pain should not be
a major issue. It is His emotional pain that matters and hurts the most. It is
very hard. He so much wants to free us, yet He must hold back so that we
can choose for ourselves. This is His character—perfect selflessness, this
trait we will need to release Christ and ourselves from misery. He could have
ended everything millennia ago but He is thinking of the best for His prized
creatures in the long-term. We should be “looking for and hasting the
coming of the day of God” (II Pet. 3:12, margin). This day will not come until
we humble ourselves and pray, forsaking the things of the world that will all
be nothing just months from now. This is why when the vision is made plain
upon tables, “he may run that readeth it” (Hab. 2:2). Yet, “he will finish the
work, and cut [it] short in righteousness” (Rom. 9:28) regardless of lives lost
that could have been spared.
The pain is just too great for both Him and us for time to go on much
longer. His blood will stop pleading and sins from then on committed will be
unto death and unpardonable. His Sanctuary will no longer be a place for
exposed blood but instead be with His people both in Person and in Spirit.
“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of
God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. And I
saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are
the temple of it” (Rev. 21:3, 22). Now is the preparation time for the
final sealing, which is quickly reaching the end, and then, just as in
former time, the sacrifice and oblation will cease and forever be
done away with. “This [is] the covenant that I will make with them
after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts,
and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I
remember no more. Now where remission of these [is, there is] no more
offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into
the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath
consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and [having] an
high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full
assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast
the profession of [our] faith without wavering; (for he [is] faithful that
promised;)” (Rom. 10:16-23).

CHAPTER 13: THE COMPLETION OF THE FOUNTAIN OF GODLINESS

This living way is newly made clear with the light shining today. We
have His blood today, friend. No one is promised a tomorrow. Many will
soon die, and after that probation will close for those who remain. Therefore,
without further ado, let us now fully enter into the splendid vision of Jesus
whereby we are healed and sealed; for we are detoxified and sober now from
the wine of Babylon to have unclouded sight of the most glorious revelation
ever given. Yet before you proceed, it is highly recommended that you
briefly review the emphasized portions of this book to refresh your mind of
the beginning stages of this vision. It will be so much more breathtaking if
you do this.
We have studied two Sanctuaries, two bloods, two sacrifices, and two
trios. These are the two parts to the vision. A gap exists between them, and
it is the purpose of the vision to repair this breach by stressing the
importance of both sides and the way to meld them into one. The 46 year
breach in the prophetical tables that Miller made in 1842 made manifest
ancient prophecies explaining the times, places, and events leading to the
Three Angels’ Messages as it was during the second 46 year period that they
were discovered. The midnight cry went out to power to their present truth
but then the Great Disappointment at the end of the tarrying time when
discouragement came after the two errors were discovered: the earth not
being Sanctuary to be cleansed where Christ would come and no “year zero”
in the reckoning of time. Many left the fold.
The new tables have are now being made manifest and begins where
the Old Tables left off—the Sanctuary in heaven which revealed the Fourth
Commandment in the heart of the Ark of the Covenant containing the two
tables of the Law, in the heart of the Sanctuary. These two tables are the
foundation of the vision and can now be seen in their fullness. Why? The
Fourth Commandment is seen in its fullness binding together the entire Law
with the Everlasting Gospel, the way to keep the Law. This is the Loud Cry—
righteousness by faith, Christ in you, the hope of glory all ages has been
waiting for! Since 1844, we have entered into a much longer tarrying time,
this time not marked with excitement but Laodicean slumber.
However, excitement among various religious bodies is igniting, both
for fallen churches and nominal Adventists. Miracles, healings, “interfaith”
rallies, “spiritual directors” creating false “revivals” centered around “God
encounters” in “emergent” churches “contemplative spirituality,” “spiritual
warfare” to remove “demons,” “prayer walks,” and “prayer warriors” are
attracting people who want to see and touch God to gain a sense of “Christ
consciousness.” This is the pure Spiritualism that Revelation warns us would
take place at the very end of time. Stay clear from it, friend, do not let it
trick you! You will find it even under the auspices of Adventism. Multitudes
of people are attracted to it because they sense that they are lacking true
purpose in life and want a God in their lives that is here and now. Yet, they
do not have a love for the truth, so they choose a god of their own liking—a
touchy, feely, convenient one that does not require sacrifice but promises
free grace with no conditions. But grace is not free. It cost God everything
and it will cost all of our idols and desires for us to receive. True spirituality
is holiness—separation from all worldliness. It is the only way to find real
peace and freedom. There may be some exciting, joyous times but this is
not what it revolves around. Instead it is the real Jesus and deep heart
searching to allow Him to come inside in His fullness.
Due to the discovery of the two errors of the current SDA’s and all
other faiths—the Holy Spirit not being Jesus, the Fourth Angel who cries for
all to receive His presence in every aspect of their lives, and His real blood
pouring out to make it possible—another great disappointment is taking
place. Keep in mind that knowledge of these two errors remedy the effects
of the omega of apostasy, thus proving Christ’s human nature to overcome
sin through faith as we can and the continuation of atonement for sins in the
Heavenly Sanctuary. These issues center around the belief of being saved
“in” or “from” or sins (recall Matt. 1:21). Therefore, the straight testimony—
to uphold the standards of the Bible and magnified in Spirit of Prophecy—
which attends the present truth will cause the same kind of disappointment.
Most people would rather have worldly excitement than to face their sins
with the least quiet time as possible lest guilt and emptiness plague them.
Having Jesus—with His Spirit right in their midst and His painful intercession
just for themselves in the Heavenly Sanctuary—would haunt them too much
to consider.
God did not allow the errors to enter into the new tables this time but
for these two tables to expose them both. The tables this time reveal
everlasting messages compressed into one vision of Christ given and
received in His completeness, a revelation too sacred to have any flaw. Let
us now understand more in Habakkuk. Why is the vision given? Because
“the law is slacked” (1:4). Why? How? Speaking of the spirit of Babylon,
Habakkuk says, “because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man
… and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and
heareth unto him all people” (2:5). Recall that the wine is spiritualism that
comes through proudly coveting idols. “Woe to him that coveteth an evil
covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may
be delivered from the power of evil! What profiteth the graven image
that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of
lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols? Woe
unto him that saith to the wood, awake; to the dumb stone, arise, it shall
teach! Behold, it [is] laid over with gold and silver, and [there is] no breath at
all in the midst of it. But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the
earth keep silence before him” (v. 9, 18-20).
Without Jesus and His cleansing blood entering the Temple [pleural for
both Heavenly and Humanly, which are in harmony], He, the Creator is
forgotten while created things are exalted as if humans created the elements
that make them and themselves. The time has come for us to rest, to keep
silence, from this Babylonian thinking and hear the Lord speak His vision for
His people instead: that His law will be written in our hearts through sacrifice
—Him giving Himself completely to us as we give ourselves completely to
Him. Only we ourselves prevent this, for neither God nor Satan can work
against our will. Plato and Socrates may have been geniuses, but their
minds did not create themselves and they now remain in the dust of the
earth. Only God and His law are life.
Nature, though some of it marred by human sin, follows God’s laws to
exactness, yet human nature thinks to create its own laws and destinies only
to bring corruption 100 percent of the time. Time has proven that when
even moral laws are violated, death occurs either right away or within a few
short years compared to eternity. Without law there can be no life since
it is the very essence of who God is, “Who only hath immortality” (I Tim.
6:16). The only reason people do not perish immediately in their sins
without another heartbeat or breath is by the grace of God alone. People
take advantage of this be experimenting with sin, and as they do, no matter
how long they may have been a Christian, their minds are changed into
deception; sometimes desires to follow God again may never return! How
much better to breathe the breath of life and from the Spirit of Jesus and
drink in His living water to enjoy His satisfying communion all the time! Sin,
though universally popular, makes fools out of us as the cost to benefit ratio
is such a high figure, yet it numbs also our minds to realize this. It is seen as
normal; we are desensitized due to its commonality in our lives.
It is the purpose of this vision to resensitize us to the everlasting love
of God compared to the exceeding sinfulness of sin (see Rom. 7:13). Not all,
yea but very few, want this; therefore, it creates disappointment suddenly
followed by defensiveness and resistance. Praise God that this is not you.
“For [it is] impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted
of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have
tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they
shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance … [at least not until
their hearts change, which is a miracle from God] … seeing they crucify to
themselves the Son of God afresh, and put [him] to an open shame.
But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things
that accompany salvation” (Heb. 6:4-6, 9). The purpose of the vision is to
lift up Jesus with His self-sacrificing love generated through His faith—
believing that humanity can indeed be restored from its ruin by the power of
this very love as manifested in His blood. This is His long hoped for shining
glory to be realized and experienced in His people (compare Heb. 11:1; Rev.
14:12; Rom. 5:1, 2; Col. 1:26-29; Rev. 18:1-4). Finally, its purpose is to
expose the great moral looking glass—the law—so that the need of Christ’s
double blood of imputing [His life in place of ours where we fall] and
imparting [His life in ours so that we do not fall] righteousness is desperately
felt. “The law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression”
(Romans 4:15). Without the Law, we do not know what sin is, and
those under its dominion wrathfully promote death. When we see
the Law in light of Him bearing shame for our sins, and we yield to
this conviction, the Law will then be life to us as His Spirit lives it in
us by His very nature with our consent. Jesus has faith in us that
this will happen. What is your faith?
Here is the vision in its entirety, though its uncompressed themes are
found throughout the Bible… “And the LORD answered me, and said,
write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run
that readeth it. For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at
the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul [which] is lifted
up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. For the
earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as
the waters cover the sea. God came from Teman, and the Holy One from
mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was
full of his praise. And [his] brightness was as the light; he had
bright beams out of his side: and there [was] the hiding of his
power. Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his
feet” (Hab. 2:2-4, 14; 3:3-5, margin).
What is Christ’s glory? His character, His name, His law, His love, His
righteousness, His life, His Word, His Spirit, His light! These are all nearly
synonymous and describe Jesus. He is to be highly exalted as He dwells in
us. You see, the two tables of the law represent love to God [first four
commandments] and love to man [last six commandments]. Four represents
the universal authority of God [given in the Fourth Commandment] while six
represents the lot given to man to make him perfectly happy. Yet, love is
one word, one principle. Though we are now separate from Christ in Person,
and thus the Father, we will soon be one in Spirit as a remnant people, and
immediately after together as a people from all ages and person-to-person
with Him. For now, we are to work with Christ to repair the breach made in
the Fourth Commandment. The fourth decree to restore spiritual Jerusalem
in finishing the walls with gaps is going out. It loudly cries the Third Angel’s
Message which is to keep Christ’s law by His faith, just as the fourth decree
to repair the walls of spiritual Jerusalem finished the work of the third decree
to restore the city and temple as a whole.
A great reformation must take place. It is the time of the latter rain.
Ezra, who records the three decrees to rebuild the ancient temple, captures
the spirit to take place in these last days. “Should we again break thy
commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations?
Wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed [us], so that
[there should be] no remnant nor escaping? O LORD God of Israel, thou
[art] righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as [it is] this day: behold, we
[are] before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because
of this. Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping
and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto
him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children:
for the people wept very sore. Now therefore let us make a covenant
with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them,
according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the
commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law. Then
all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto
Jerusalem within three days … and all the people sat in the street of the
house of God, trembling because of [this] matter, and for the great
rain. And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, ye have
transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of
Israel. Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your
fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people
of the land, and from the strange wives. Then all the congregation answered
and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do. But the people
[are] many, and [it is] a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand
without, neither [is this] a work of one day or two: for we are many that have
transgressed in this thing” (9:14-10:1, 3, 9-13).
Nehemiah captures the same spirit. “And they said unto me, the
remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province [are] in great
affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also [is] broken down, and
the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard
these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned [certain] days, and
fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, and said, I beseech thee, O
LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth
covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his
commandments: let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that
thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now,
day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of
the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my
father's house have sinned. We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and
have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments,
which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. Remember, I beseech thee, the
word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, [If] ye transgress, I
will scatter you abroad among the nations: but [if] ye turn unto me,
and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you
cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, [yet] will I gather them
from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen
to set my name there. Now these [are] thy servants and thy people,
whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong
hand. O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of
thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name”
(1:3-11). The rest of his book enumerates on the rebuilding of the wall and
finishes with Sabbath reform and the need again for separation from strange
wives in chapter 13. It is recommended that you also read a magnification of
this in chapters 53, 55, and 57 of Ellen White’s book, Prophets and Kings.
The light will jump out at you as you read.
The Sabbath is about separation, emptying, uniting, and
receiving. We are to separate from our harlot wives [idols] of the
world and empty our lusts from them. Prayer and fasting in
weeping and repentance accompanies this. Then we can be united
with Jesus by receiving His Spirit containing all of His wonderful
attributes, namely love. All must choose whether they will be in an
adulterous relationship united to Babylon, or in the marriage union
of Christ and Jerusalem. The latter rain is perfecting the harvest to
distinguish the wheat and tares. The tares are those who love
God’s promises but are not willing to make the surrender to abide
by the conditions, namely love. The wheat are the saints, scattered
since the Samaria/Judah separation but gathered in the harvest …
those who tremble at God’s law of love because they know it is
sacred life and proceeds from the infinitely holy God who manifests
the life through their sacrifice of love to those undeserving. Since
the gospel and the law are both love, they are now to unite in one
vision. Arguments regarding faith and works, and segregations of
churches by liberals and conservatives, should all vanish. {See
Appendix A}
The way [the street to be rebuilt with the wall (Dan. 9:25; Prov.
4:8)] is made simple as the gospel law is revealed in its fullness as
Christ bridges the two sides with His presence of love—His Sabbath
rest, His wall of protection—which sinners have tried to do away
with by tearing it down with their lusts. He separated to make us
whole with Him, as sinners changed into saints. This vision
expounds “the way of God more perfectly” than ever before (Acts
18:26) even though it has always stood in the Bible. The ancient wall was
three miles long, thus encompassing the Three Angels’ Messages. It
preserves life and is the separation barrier to Babylonians who try to come in
to be saved without surrendering their sins. In previous times, people have
not understood the fullness of the law and will be gathered into the fold on
Resurrection Day with their 144,000 living offspring who lived it perfectly in
Christ for them, considering that they lived up to what they did understand.
Yet now, the law in its fullness (see Ps. 119:96), seen with the full light of the
Sabbath of the Fourth Angel, is plainly being revealed to the world. All will
choose between the protection of love and the plagues of lust, the
latter will destroy Babylon’s wall built with the untempered mortar
of lies supposed to protect them, thus exposing her nakedness so
that she must die when Christ physically returns in His brightness of
glory for the saints who prepared themselves with the same light
for protection. Then, the rest of the third day since Rome will intersect
with the Seventh Day Sabbath, in terms of millennia. “These are they
which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes,
and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they
before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his
temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them”
(Rev. 7:14, 15). The vision shows us how sacred blood turns into brightness.
In Christ’s blood is the hiding of His great power to redeem
humanity. Sin is destroyed by this presence. The blood and its light
are the same power, just separated by the Sabbath breach. A full
surrender by His people to Him prevents the unveiling of this power
hidden in the blood. He has already made the infinite surrender.
We are waiting for the vision of Christ and His love to be seen and
experienced in God’s people for this to happen. Will we crucify our
idols and the lusts for them which rein in our flesh (Gal. 5:24), or will
we continue crucifying our loving Saviour with our fresh sins, not
believing in the power of the blood of His incarnation sacrifice to
cleanse us completely from sin?
 Remember, every command in God’s Word, the same Source of
life, is a promise, and not believing is an insult to the All-Powerful
God who we should daily serve in the Temple of His Body that we
possess. The privilege to serve Him in Person during eternity will only be
given to those who choose to spiritually experience it completely while
probation lasts. It takes sacrifice but yields infinite joy and peace which can
come partially even now. Unbelievers show that they would rather die
in the end than to give up their lusts by what they watch, hear, eat,
drink, and do. “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are
not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God.
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to
the glory of God. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh
with the affections and lusts” (I Cor. 6:19, 20; 10:31; Gal. 5:24).
Believers have the faith of Jesus and testify it by their actions. They
would rather die than to see their Saviour die for them in continuing
to pour out His blood … to see their fellow men die because of their
own sins thus giving a faithless testimony of a weak and
unattractive saviour. They see that Christ died to become a fellow
man with them for to purchase them rather than let them die. Now
our vision of Jesus can be plainly unveiled.
Beams of light pour forth freshly from the hands of the
glorified Saviour every time a saint testifies of His love. All places
and generations have witnessed this; however, this final generation
will have a remnant to shine the light in its purity. When sin is
removed, Christ can manifest Himself in glorious ways. True love is
special. It cannot be described in words. There is a sense of warm
caring and sharing; those who they come into contact with are
treated with the utmost respect and treated with dignity regardless
of who they are. Nothing, NOTHING, compares with such a spirit!
Without it: the problems we see every day. Again, it is the life of
Christ. It proceeds from His heart. We see Christ glorified on the
first table! His Word is made flesh in humanity through individual
incarnations each one of His followers receives. They praise Him
and the Father for such a peace they have never felt before and are
zealous to share with others. The power is hid in His side where the
sword struck. It is how to receive this power that is important.
We know that the incarnation of Christ in person after dying to Himself
is the beginning of redemption as well as the most dramatic. However, it is
at the cross where much is revealed to us reflecting the former sacrifice. We
can identify with it as we are human and not of a spiritual realm like the Holy
Spirit and angels. This is where we see the holes in the hands, feet, and side
of Jesus. We see it is blood and water pouring out. We see Christ
crucified on the second table! This is our vision, our story, our
song! Jesus loves all and is willing to save all! What beauty! What
charity! What an Example for us! So, what holds us back? You should
know it by now: our desires to serve worthless idols! We are in warfare.
Though totally illogical in light of the truth, it is easy to follow these desires
because they are who we are. It is all we know. However, we came from
Adam just as Christ did when He took on humanity. The conversion of
turning from self to God glorifies Him like no unfallen being can do. This is
our purpose, and when we live this vision He has for us, time will close so
that we can join with all our ancestors who had this vision in part.
“Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in
iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth … For we
know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is
perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away” (I Cor.
13:4-10). The prophecies that we have studied together foretelling the
vision will all be done away when the vision becomes reality. However,
God’s law of love will never be done away with! The cross testifies
it to us more than anything, the same cross we must carry: death to self,
for the glory to God and the good of others. Then Christ lives to preserve
humanity.
When we see our failure to live God’s vision for us—keeping His law in
its fullness—we must submit to the desires of repentance that He gives us.
They will not linger if not acted upon in prayer. We are to claim His blood as
our own, knowing full well it means giving up the sinful ways that we are
used to. The more we look to Christ and His life, especially His closing
scenes, the more we will see our sinfulness; and if we respond in surrender,
the richer we will live. “For when we were in the flesh, the motions
of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring
forth fruit unto death” (Rom. 7:5). Sin committed as described by the
holy law requires threefold blood: Christ’s eternal death—yielding
His Spirit—to carry our symbolic blood of surrender and confession
to the Heavenly Sanctuary both mixing with His blood of perfect
humanity. This is justification by faith. This is the mystery of
atonement, the ingredients of God’s hidden power to be “at one”
with His people. It has been hidden except “in part” due to the
mystery of iniquity: being already saved by our own means without
the need of Christ’s two bloods of sacrifice and our need to
surrender! All has been mystified since Satan knows when it is
revealed that he has no power! However, knowing this mystery of love
that brings unity and living it are two different things. We need a daily
individual experience with the Spirit of Christ.
After the bloods mix, we receive the life of Christ internally in
the form of living water. We are cleansed and freed from sin! His
Word speaks it into us day by day as we study it and becomes our
thoughts as assisted by His Spirit. Recall that really no separation exists
between the Word and Spirit. This is sanctification, or purification, as
new faith comes as we learn, thus preserving and strengthening our
justification. In other words, Christ’s life becomes more ingrained in us
and becomes who we are. Our old desires are replaced with new
ones.
Praying and studying are not enough alone to be saved from
sin, however. We must pour out what we have received. Christ’s life
is to become evident externally. As we are willing to step out in faith
and evangelize the gospel we will be forced to pray and study more
fervently as there is more purpose to. Thus, we receive more water,
enough to become an affiliate wellspring with Christ. Then He can shine
on the water, refracting rays of His light to all those around us!
This will come naturally as we (1) manifest faith, as in the First and
Second Angels’ Messages, with our relationship with Jesus and (2)
moment by moment translate this faith into righteousness,
prayerfully taking every opportunity to share Him with others. This
is love, the charity of relieving others of their burdens as we have
been relieved. This is glorification, Christ revealed in us, the Word
made flesh! This is not a game of pretending, like unfortunately most
professed Christians do. It is not just words. We all need each other as we
can all manifest Christ in different ways based on our varied talents. Both
believers and unbelievers we are to witness the love of Christ to. We need to
assume that no one is where they ought to be at spiritually; therefore,
evangelism should take place at home, at church, at work, on the street, and
in the marketplace. It is not merely describing this vision but living it! As we
interest ourselves in the welfare of others, our own sinful tendencies will
diminish.
Thus we have the three messages on two stones brought
together into one loud cry of mercy to save mankind. The blood and
water are on the second table representing an internal spirituality.
The light is on the first table representing an outward show of
ethics because of the life of Christ inside of us. But does it not
sound like it should be opposite? [Ethics are the last six
commandments while spirituality is the first four]. This is precisely
the point. The breach between the two tables is to be repaired; the
three messages are to agree as one even as Christ with His
separation is at one with His Father in heaven. All three elements
are to concurrently drive a Christian’s life. Christ gave two sacrifices of
His life within the 33 years that He lived here. He separated from His Spirit
so that He could live in us and bear humanity in His Person. This is the first
table. Then He poured out water and blood on the cross to bear our sins with
His perfect humanity, and it stands in place of ours every time we sin and His
Spirit carries our heartfelt repentance to Him in the Heavenly Sanctuary. It
is the everlasting covenant as represented as the rainbow of three
primary colors with two ends—Christ’s life for ours.

CHAPTER 14: THE VISION FULFILLED BY PRACTICAL GODLINESS

 Conservatives focus on ethics and what you must do, but many do not
attain it themselves because they are lacking the spirituality. They seek the
light but never find it because they have no water to absorb it with. They
put a cloak over their guilt by dwelling on all the problems of the church
when they are forsaking the weightier matters of the heart. Liberals focus on
spirituality, but not realizing it takes surrender, they choose the counterfeit
of spiritualism to put a cloak over the law which reveals their sins. They seek
the water they are thirsting for but never attain it because they are holding
onto their idol broken cisterns that can hold no water. Therefore, both
groups are living lives of opposites and belong to Babylon even though some
conservatives may accuse the liberals alone of being Babylon. The full
Sabbath message solves the whole issue. All sin must go in every
form and it comes through beholding Christ to receive Him. Time
spent arguing on who is right and wrong would be better spent discussing
and assisting each other to better acclimate to a spiritual walk with the Lord
and speaking of His goodness.
The reality is that no one in their carnal mind wants to face either side
of the picture because it does not want to die. The first table is death to self
by seeing the light that Christ died eternally for us in giving His Spirit with
separation. Though some other excuse may be given to not believe this
light, what they are really saying is that the sacrifice is too great for them.
Believing would make Jesus come too close to them, and since they are not
willing to make their sacrifice to receive Him, they would be more
comfortable in believing a mysterious spirit which can be easily enacted by
Satan. Regardless of this part of the vision, it is the main reason why people
reject the literal Fourth Commandment of this table—“the sacrifice is too
great.” So it goes for every sin, since the spiritual Sabbath must be broken
each time. People are willing to do just about anything for money but close
to nothing for God, even though it means life or death.
The second table is giving to others by seeing the light that Christ
pours life, yea blood, out of Himself continually for others as they require it
but do not deserve it. This was initiated by a terrible separation from the
Father from Gethsemane until resurrection, an example for us to separate
from our former father, the devil, who is selfish and hates to give. Though
some other excuse may be given to not believe this light, what they are
really saying is that the blood is too repulsive for them to give. Believing
would make Christ’s love-borne pain come too close to them, and since they
are not willing to make their sacrifice to others due to their pride, they would
be more comfortable in believing atonement has been done since the cross,
or at least believing that Christ’s blood after the cross was not real.
Regardless of this issue, it is the reason why people break the literal Tenth
Commandment of this table—“blood is too repulsive.” They would rather
covet what others have than to give them what they really need—Jesus …
and Him they cannot give because they have not received themselves. So it
goes for every sin. People would rather covet the idols of the world-lovers
than to covet the attributes of Jesus which can only be gained by resting in
the power of His love as manifested on both tables in the vision. Since they
themselves may feel unworthy of receiving Christ’s blood, they feel unwilling
to give to others who they deem as also unworthy since they are
undeserving. Since Christ took on humanity to purchase us, all are worthy to
receive Him by His merits; in fact, if one does not receive, both sacrifices
were done in vain for that one individual who is of infinite value to God.
People reject both of parts of the same Fountain poured out
for us, not because of lame excuses, but because they do not want
to face their sin problem. So, instead, they try to find their worth in
life through the broken cisterns which also involve pain, but no
healing comes unlike from the living waters. Only when we truly
live Christ’s life of humility can we completely come out of Babylon
who thinks she is a goddess that does not need to be saved. It is
fine to conserve all of Christ’s standards and be liberal in giving and
receiving love. However, they should not be separated. The breach
must be repaired, the walls of Jerusalem rebuilt. It is more than
trying to keep the seventh day Sabbath to avoid the mark of the
beast, otherwise it is a cloak of pride to hide sin. We must enter
into a much deeper experience with the Lord who redeems us at
such a high cost.
We are to prayerfully watch every moment of time and motive
of mind while consciously knowing we are in the presence of Jesus .
This is a serious matter and what is widely missing. “Let us search
and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD” (Lam. 3:40). Doing
this practically carries the vision forth. Let us now plainly express the
vision in the most practical terms. Repetition is necessary of this most
glorious and important theme. Holiness is the goal. Without it, and the
irresistible peace that follows as it flows out from us to others, we
cannot perceive the spiritual things of God and therefore cannot
dwell with Him in eternity unless we repent (Heb. 12:14). Holiness
is a Sabbath process that involves two internal things: removing the
bad and replacing it with good. The bad is removed through giving
blood—separating and emptying of everything that defiles even
though these things can be such a large part of who we are. This is
what it means to be crucified with Christ, and when this deformed
life is given up, the righteous life of Christ in His blood is imputed to
justify our past life of unrighteousness. But what motivates this?
Love. His becomes ours and will cause us to have a true
conception of ourselves. It comes from the Spirit’s promptings, yet
we have a role. We are to analyze our hearts in the spirit of prayer:
the motives, plans, desires, feelings. This is of inestimable value!!!
Then, as God reveals, we are to make the necessary surrenders on a
day to day basis! Without doing these things, we are left in a
precarious situation as anything can happen since Christ is shut out
without even realizing it! We will not know what to separate from,
we will have a breach between our head full of knowledge and our
heart full of lust, and we will focus too much on our actions which
cannot change without the heart’s consent. “Keep thy heart with
all diligence; for out of it [are] the issues of life” (Prov. 4:23). This
is the point where people who name the name of Christ most often
fail! We are to anticipate temptations and deformities of character
and proceed in faith; the more we see Jesus in His holiness, the less
we will think of our own piety. Question yourself, friend, question
what you are thinking and why. Make this your habit, no longer
looking for the supposed problems in others. Surrendering—
resting, fasting, abstaining from fleshly lusts—by God’s creation of
thoughts of love He reveals to us and by our humble choice, is the
first part of the Sabbath experience. This is also what it also means
to fear God in the First Angel’s Message.
The good comes in by the merits of Christ’s blood imparted to
us in the form of the living water of His Word and Spirit in our
hearts. It purifies us from sin-polluted Babylon as described in the
Second Angel’s Message. This is the second part of the Sabbath
experience—the satisfying refreshment which comes from the
presence of Jesus with His blessed attributes in our hearts. This
good in our lives which only comes from Jesus also helps us remove
more bad due to new thoughts, desires, and motives of love.
Therefore, the elements of blood and water emanating from Christ
inseparably work together to justify us before the Father in
declaring us righteous as well as making us holy. However, the
process of emptying and receiving does not stop here. We must go
through further emptying, this time of the good!
We are to glorify Jesus by our holy actions that testify of Him
and naturally follow the blood and water experience as long as we
persevere. In doing this as well as sharing the gospel, we are giving
others the rest that we received. This spiritual light is represented
in the Third Angel’s Message as it contrasts with the darkness of
the plagues given to those who will perish by the brightness of
Christ’s Second Coming; the righteousness of obeying the
commands of God by faith will sustain the saints. The message as a
whole as seen in the vision we have now received is the Fourth
Angel’s Message which magnifies this light exceedingly.
We are to practically apply these principles especially on the
Sabbath Day as it commemorates this everlasting gospel as well as
gives us time to focus on living it. A special presence of Jesus
makes this Day holy which is irreplaceable. He will powerfully abide
with us if we keep the spirit of the Sabbath on its Day to transform
our lives into this one experience seven days a week. Praise His
name for giving us the full knowledge of the Sabbath! Let us honor
Him by living it out. Do not get entangled by the rush of life and all
of its cares. Quality time with the Lord is necessary; the non-
necessities we are attracted to are usually artificial and seemingly
good, but they steal away us from God and God from us. It is time
that we repair the breach. If we are looking to humans or
experiences to fulfill our needs of feeling loved and self worth at
any time, that is a sure indicator that we are not spending enough
time with Jesus. We have the privilege of talking to Him as a close
and all-understanding Friend who has living water to quench any
desire—satisfy good ones and drown bad ones. Every morning we
are to devote time reading Scripture or Scripture-based materials,
including Spirit of Prophecy, in close communion with Him;
frequently visit the four gospels of Jesus, especially John’s. As we
do so, we should be focusing on His love and power of creation and
redemption, appropriating what we learn directly to our own lives,
asking Him to reveal to us things about ourselves that could be
diminished or improved to strengthen our relationship with Him.
Though this is more important, it does not replace study time nor
should it be used for study time which is used for understanding
prophecy, theology, etc. Jesus is to be first in everything and
devotion time with Him will set up the rest of the day so that we are
living His will and silently continuing our dialogue with Him.
The vision is to be made practical to become real! As we have
devotion, prayer, study, work, time with family and friends, solving problems,
doing menial tasks, etc., the two principles are to be kept ever before the
mind: Honoring God in everything we do since He has honored us with His
eternal sacrifice to redeem us, and giving of ourselves [talents, time,
cheerfulness, compassion, etc.] to others [who are all infinitely valuable in
God’s sight] based on what they need most. A word of advice: put
yourself in the place of others. What if you were them and had no light
of hope? What if you had their struggles? How can you help them knowing
and having what you do now? Habitually thinking this way will exalt
Christ; His thoughts will be yours: advocating the peace that comes
from love and seeing the potential of it in each individual created
for His glory. This is healing! Its labor brings rest.
Counterfeit present “truth” or new “light” is not practical, does not
exalt Jesus, and is usually excitement-based or dryly doctrinally-based which
do little for the soul, not to mention the errors. One is the lunar Sabbath,
which is unbiblical and the counterfeit to Sabbath fullness. Also, though
NWO conspiracy, moving out of the cities, various details of prophecy,
current events [even though they are becoming more extraordinary], and
how church organizations are failing are issues that need be addressed when
they are correct, these should all be secondary in nature compared to the
high emphasis of practical godliness. This means a deep and passionate
relationship with God and evangelizing the gospel through speech, literary
means, and acts of kindness. The two table stones are united by the Great
Cornerstone—resting from selfishness in love with full surrender of body,
mind, and soul; such is the life of Christ. Secondary issues often are
dwelt on to an extent that the primary one is hidden, just what
Satan wants. Though the sidetracks of both counterfeits and undue
emphasis of exciting issues often speak badly of Satan, it is really glorifying
Him and he knows it. Also, he loves to see the primary issue spoken of in
such a light, shallow manner by the liberals that it has none effect. The
vision corrects all this. Praise God!
Here is another way to live the vision. It has always been important to
get out in nature, but now more than ever. Technology is artificial and tends
to weaken our sense of God’s power of creation. Quietness and natural
beauty revitalize us and are a part of the rest we need emotionally. Nature
is everywhere and it helps you reflect on God’s goodness and creative
power. It can be enjoyed with family, friends, or just alone with Jesus. A
perfect time to gain this blessing is on the Sabbath Day and should be seen
as a necessity even if a place is not always traveled to. Jesus tells us, “Come
ye yourselves apart into a desert [secluded] place, and rest a while” (Mk.
6:31). One of the greatest blessings is going for a daily walk, even if others
are around. Sunlight, fresh air, exercise, and mental rest can all be enjoyed
at once. These things will really improve your life and are necessary parts of
the full Sabbath experience. Do not let worldly commitments get in your
way! Also, do not forget the importance of country living and healthy living.
You have seen much here and the book must come to an end so that it
is short enough to keep the cost down to spread it to as many as possible.
Read it at least once more and have a highlighter or pen on hand. See the
last page on how you can order in bulk so that many souls come to
personally know Jesus through the full Sabbath experience that He is crying
for us to all have. He is and has been pouring Himself out with atoning blood
and cleansing, counseling, comforting tears of living water so we can receive
it to shine for others, and it is now seen distinctly so that no one need err.
The moral law preserves our lives, and we must continually surrender to
Jesus who produces it, who lives it, who is it. Any attempt to keep it on our
own will fail. Any point where the heart is knowingly not surrendered
violates the whole law which then condemns us to death as to protect others
from being contaminated from sin in eternity. Spiritual and weekly rest
cannot be separated and is the only way to eternal rest as it is how
Jesus can save us without using force, and love is never forceful.
This message must go out and it is up to you. Will you live it and
share it with others, comforting our Lord greatly to know that His
pain is not in vain because you are with Him now in Spirit to do His
will? Your life is completely unique and can reach people that no
one else can. One book alone may reach many souls, let alone many
books. They can be sold or freely given. A good technique is to leave them
everywhere people will see them; such places are endless. Be bold. Jesus
will direct you with them.
It is not just about this book or others, however. You must live
the experience; a living testimony is always better than a book, though
both have their place. It will be contagious because people are so lost in all
the useless cares of the world. Their hearts, like yours, will be impressed to
follow Jesus as they see His boundless yet simple love. It will be found in you
and the truth you share. Another good resource for truth sharing is GLOW
tracts. You can find them at http://www.goglow.org. Many souls have been
converted to Christ through these. They are not connected to this book and
cover much more narrow material, but many can go out as they are cheap
and some do not like to read books right off the bat. Books and tracts both
have their place. Ellen White’s books are much longer and more detailed
than this one and contain a deeper inspiration from God and can also be sent
to you for your own reading or in bulk for those you know that like to read.
No words can describe how beautiful these writings are that God has given
us as they touch right to the soul and bring the Bible to life. The classic one
that all should read is Great Controversy, as it addresses pressing questions
many people have about life and puts various things into perspective. If you
would like an example of her writings with audio, go to http://seekjesus1.com
and look for the book Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing. It is one of her
shorter books and a real treasure. While you are there, also read an
extension to this book of her quotes illuminating and solidifying what we
have looked at. Look for “Gems of Light.” For audio messages, you will not
want to miss visiting regularly http://audioverse.org. Recent recordings
come in on a weekly basis. Not all messages can be guaranteed to be
without error, but the majority of them are spiritually elevating as often very
practical heart-to-heart subjects are presented along with the spirit of revival
and reformation of God’s people. If you are short on time, listening while
eating is splendid.
In closing, be watching for revival—both counterfeit and true. You can
distinguish the false from the true by mystical types of prayer exercises,
large crowds, and miracles … versus … simplicity, love, prayers that
transform lives into Christ’s beautiful perfection, tears of repentance, and
ridicule by those on the outside who do not know Christ. You will want to
find fellowship with other Seventh-day Adventists as it helps solidify each
other’s faith; it is not God’s will for us to be alone, especially in these last
days (see Heb. 10:25). Just realize that many churches currently have the
Seventh-day Adventist label but are teaching and worshiping contrary to its
character of name, and compared to other churches, these are more biblical
but also more deceptive since they profess much higher standards by name.
With that said, you may use the following resource to find General
Conference (GC) churches near you, but it may be the case either that none
are in your area or that the ones that exist are too dangerously similar to
Babylon; you then have the options of contacting churches in the region for
any possible home churches, starting your own home church as you
evangelize in possible connection with the Conference [terrific several month
evangelism training programs are available around the world; all who can
should attend], fellowshipping in online rooms, watching/listening to
services, and/or move to another location ...
http://www.adventistdirectory.org. Also, there are campmeetings run by the
Conference or supporting ministries such as ASI, 3ABN, or GYC [highly
recommended] … not to be confused with self-supporting non-GC ministries.
Let the Lord lead.
Do not be discouraged if the people are far from where they should be
at or by the disunity Satan has set forth; you can help immensely in love now
that you have the Sabbath vision to seal God’s people back together. As a
last resort, you may want to contact non-GC SDA ministries but watch out for
legalism, fanaticism, and criticism of the GC as many are this way and
became independent either because of non-doctrinal people problems or
undue criticism, both due to pride. The legitimate ones were created for the
sole purpose of preaching straight truth when the GC did not, and even they
have their own problems to deal with. We hope that the GC will hold the
leaders accountable for not preaching the Three Angels’ Messages
undiluted with error, for removal of the trinity doctrine from its
fundamental beliefs and exalting the main pillars of our faith instead,
for two-sided reconciliation between the GC and non-GC ministries
instead of accusations and trademarks, and for allowance, yea
encouragement, of supporting ministries who are awake to fully
engage themselves in the local churches to inspire the same fervent
spirit of Christ-preparedness. It is not time to be similar to other
denominations [though they are not all wrong]. People, especially the
young, desire something much deeper to fill the soul than the world
has to offer; this has not been understood and catering to supposed
needs of worldly culture has quieted the conscience for something
purer and holier. Ecumenical ties must be broken to exalt the
peculiarities of Jesus who is altogether lovely just as He is,
otherwise we are hiding Him from the world! With that said, generally
those even half-awake under the GC are more spiritual and mission-driven,
covering the heart issues that matter, than non-GC are at the current time.
Also, the GC has wonderful resources for ministry and outreach that
outsiders cannot afford. Pray every day for revival and reformation in God’s
remnant who keep His commandments with the faith and testimony of Jesus.
Disunity will not last much longer. Due to current trends, it appears that the
saints will congregate under the GC while the wicked leave, perhaps many
by their own choice; but no prophecy guarantees this. Do not be deceived;
live by principle and conviction, not by what others do.
This is not a message of fanatical separation or gloom and doom unlike
various counterfeits. It is an optimistic one that people are coming together
in Christ, the Light Bearer, out of their former darkness. Plenty of
persecution will occur from outside the church, within the church, and deep
within the church [in individuals’ own hearts] and cause many to fall away.
Yet, Christ is our focus. We have the opportunity to press together
with the banner of Christ crucified and Christ glorified, repairing the
ancient breach with the only mechanism possible—Christ in us …
crucifying our lusts against Him who continues dying for us with His
one blood-shed sacrifice and death of taking on fallen humanity to
create perfect humanity through His sinless Spirit and Person,
mixed as incense in the Sanctuary above back into One, and
received in our Sanctuary to make us one with Him. So, are Jesus,
the law, the Sanctuary, and salvation really two? Christ has only
one life and death to redeem us; any separation is only temporary
until it is Sabbatically sealed. How long will we suffer with Him to
wait for the vision’s fulfillment, the end of His sacrifice and the
breach that divides, the beginning of life eternal? “Till we all come
in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a
perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: that
we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about
with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may
grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ: from whom
the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” (Eph. 4:13-
16).
Life is so much more precious than people realize! Start seeing
through the vision of Jesus. Let His wounds heal us completely. Let our
separation from the world initiate this healing to repair our separation
together and with God. “Rejoice in the Lord alway: [and] again I say,
rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord [is] at hand.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of
God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever
things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of
good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on
these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received,
and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind,
live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Finally,
brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have [free] course, and
be glorified, even as [it is] with you” (Phil. 4:4-9; II Cor. 13:11; II Thess. 3:1).
PLEASE WRITE to us to share how this message has touched your
life; this cannot be stressed enough. With your permission, your letter may
become a testimony to others to elevate them to Jesus as it is shared on the
website. Book sales are not the goal. It is about winning souls to
Christ. Do not let the vision slip away from your mind; view it in its
simplicity. It is the solution to our emptiness caused by the
separation of sin. Jesus fills us with His presence to heal us through
Sabbath surrender. How? His separation to unite us back with Him.
How? His infinite sacrifice of incarnation made available and
illustrated to us with His perfect life of humanity poured out in
blood on the Cross. The healing happens in the Sanctuary [both of
them] where His separated life is carried in to mix with ours,
forming one blood of atonement. Light will then proceed as He
works through us. Share the vision using your own God-given
talents whether it is writing, speaking, art, organizing, web-design, or
marketing. Write if you have any ideas or concerns. Phone numbers are
online as well as any change of address information.
