Second Advent Herald

Are you glad that your Creator / Redeemer is not variable, not a respecter of persons, nor shows shadow of turning? This is a truth with a doubled edge: “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you,..” Malachi 3:6-7 Of the express image of His Father, it is written: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8. Today, we will go into part 1. Of “Sieges and Survivors” through Bible (Prophetic), History, Current and into near future events. How we deal with them decides How HE deals with us, and whether we will be survivors. Waves of Siege are coming: “Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 …When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3 If when he sees the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning;.. his blood shall be upon his own head. 5 He heard the sound of the trumpet,.. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.” Ezekiel 33:1-5 We hope you can join us.

In this Sabbath's message / study, I want to start a series on angelic allies and enemies. With all the enemy activity surrounding us and even above us, we are seeing, there is no help from our government, military, even medicine (all of whom take oaths to protect and or do no harm). There seems to be either a paralysis of fear, and or a traitorous cooperation with avowed enemies. But what man can do, is neither to be trusted or feared, by GOD's Covenant people. HE has promised help, either by direct intervention, or HIS angels, and there be more that are for us than against us. . . . if we are for HIM. I wanted to share things to encourage you / us, with abundant Inspiration to that end, and in part 1. we will mainly / historically deal with the time of the war in Heaven through to the Exodus, with some present and absolute end, promises. HE is the same, yesterday, today and forever, and so are His and our allies. I hope you can join us. Theme Passages: { RH July 8, 1884} “The guardian angels whom Jacob saw in vision ascending and descending that ladder of shining brightness, are with us, recording our work, and bringing us divine strength and power to be combined with human effort. These angels weep over the coldness, the indolence, and want of love for souls, that exists among ministers who are laboring in their own strength.” {PP 568} Those who in the way of duty are brought into trial may be sure that God will preserve them; … The very ones whom God purposes to use as His instruments for a special work, Satan employs his utmost power to lead astray. He attacks us at our weak points, working through defects in the character to gain control of the whole man; … But none need be overcome. Man is not left alone to conquer the power of evil by his own feeble efforts. Help is at hand and will be given to every soul who really desires it. Angels of God, that ascend and descend the ladder which Jacob saw in vision, will help every soul who will, to climb even to the highest heaven.” Isaiah 58:12-14 “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,.. 13 If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,.. My holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honorable;.. not doing your own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking your own words: 14 Then shall you delight yourself 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.”

Last week, we covered Angels from the war in heaven to the Exodus crossing. This Sabbath, we will take a more current look, in "Angels, Allies or Adversaries? 2." In our present age of so called "Greater enlightenment" supernatural beings, are little thought of, though their work in man, is all around us. How quickly that flippant attitude would change, if they could just encounter a session, when one speaks out of it's occupant. We've seen a little of that lately. I hope to wind this up, and In part 3. (next week), we will link the topic with the Millennium / 1000 years. We have friends who are Sabbath / Torah keepers, who have views of a strictly Earthly understanding, we will look at and weigh this against Scripture. Angels definitely fit into the picture. We hope you can join us. Theme Texts: (a.) Ephesians 6:10-18 “… be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, … 14 … having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance …” (b.) With the Early church, as with us: {AA 90,91} “… spiritual life and power was [is] dependent on a close connection with the One by whom they had been commissioned to preach the gospel. Only as they were united with Christ could the disciples hope to have the accompanying power of the Holy Spirit and the co-operation of angels of heaven. With the help of these divine agencies they would present before the world a united front … to wage unceasingly against the powers of darkness. As they should continue to labor unitedly, heavenly messengers would go before them, opening the way;.. and many would be won to Christ. So long as they remained united, the church would go forth “fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners.” Song of Solomon 6:10.” (c.) {19MR 164,165 } “A demoniacal spirit takes possession of men in our world. They combine … with the perverted human animal, intelligence making them human demons, detestable in the sight of God in proportion as they manifest the attributes of the satanic. Demon intelligence, by culture, will rend and destroy man formed in the divine similitude … Satan was…the highest angels next to Christ. All his beauty, and intelligence, and excellence was derived from God. … And by practice he has an ever-increasing knowledge of transgression. He has an ever-increasing energy in using that acquired knowledge. Thought is poisoned, and the force of wickedness, the abuse of his powers to hurt and destroy God’s heritage, will measure the daring of humanity, and their cruel satanic treatment of man against his fellow man. The more pain they can cause, the more complete is their work in destroying God’s heritage, and the more joy they give to the fallen apostate.” Thanks again, for your prayers and support of this work.

If we have friends, Family outside of our faith group, we know people who have a wide variety of ideas (or no idea at all), about the "1000 Years / Millennium" that commences at the 2nd Coming of Messiah. The who, will be Where, in Heaven or on Earth, doing What? during this (soon coming), period, is an absolute Gumbo soup in Christendom. Will there be a 2nd Chance for people who just didn't "get it" or will there be Sacrifices? . . . Evangelicals, Romanists, Hebrew Roots, Messianics, splinters of the World-Wide Church of God, Jehovah's Witnesses etc, all have some similarities, but (another food comparison), like Ice Cream at Baskin Robbins, many flavors. And there is contention among Bible students, yet there is a huge blessing in truth, that no Lie, Fable or Misunderstanding can have. We and others we should be sharing with, need every blessing, and it is an integral part of )the doctrine of Christ" we are to abide in. Could those who were cast out and down, have a motive for hiding truth from people, for whom the Divine Purpose is, to take the very place and position, from which Lucifer and his angels were expelled? Would such envy and rage, motivate them to get Christians to exchange a lie for that blessing? Can we know at least who is going or staying where? Yes. By using a Divinely prescribed method: Isaiah 28:9,10 "Whom shall He teach knowledge? and ... to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept,.. line upon line,.. here a little, and there a little." Comparing spiritual things with spiritual. We hope you can join us, as we will be sharing this from Ted and Louella Schultz' place, hopefully Ted will weigh in a bit. Theme Texts: Revelation 1:5,6 "... Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, And has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father;.." 1 Corinthians 6:2,3 "Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels?" Revelation 20:4 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Thanks again, for your prayers and support of this work.

Is salvation / Justification conditional or unconditional? Is that a dumb question? I’ve been to meetings where generally solid people, said “Amen” to the wrong, carefully crafted position, presented by a well known, respected person. Many got upset, when it was exposed. Over the last 3 weeks, we’ve looked at Angels (friends & foes), up to the Millennium, in the true Heavenly Promised land, New Jerusalem; of which any Earthly, (before the new Earth), but a type and preparation. Such was / is the Sanctuary, it’s services, times and laws, which GOD made very specific. There is an Angel (connected with these), Who can be friend or foe, conditional upon how we respond, seen in: Exodus 23:20-22 “Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for My name is in him. 22 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.” [don't we need this now?] In “The gods of Egypt” We will look into this topic through the lens of what Inspiration calls a “compacted prophecy” of the plan of Redemption. We hope you can join us: Thematic Passages: Ezekiel 13:19-23 “And will ye pollute Me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? 22 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: 23 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.” { 3SM 154, 155} “There will be some terrible falls by those who think they stand firm because they have the truth; but they have it not as it is in Jesus. … We must as faithful messengers of God, plead with Him constantly to be kept by his power. If we swerve a single inch from duty we are in danger of following on in a course of sin that ends in perdition. There is hope for every one of us, but only in one way—by fastening ourselves to Christ, and exerting every energy to attain to the perfection of his character. - This goody-goody religion that makes light of sin and that is forever dwelling upon the love of God to the sinner, encourages the sinner to believe that God will save him while he continues in sin and he knows it to be sin. This is the way that many are doing who profess to believe present truth.” Thanks again, for your prayers and support of our work.

We have been unfolding the "compacted prophecy" nature of the Sanctuary and Covenant Appointed Times, and using them to face down challenges of Rome, Evangelical Babylon and mis-informed and apostate SDA influences. This Sabbath, we will look at Armageddon and the Mount of the Congregation (aka Mo`ed),and un-pack the prophecy through the lenses of Isaiah 14:12-14 and numerous Newer & Older Testament Prophecies,.Jereboam's false Mountains/ Feasts Papal admissions SDA Bible Commentary and Spirit of Prophecy. Also, Divine protection and deliverance for His Own Covenant keeping children. Hope you can join us. Prayer Request and Thanks: Blanca and I are still in Florida, trying to tie off loose ends for her 92 year old Dad (Emilio), who's been multiple "safe and effective" COVID jabbed, was re-infected. He was just released from Advent Health (a gross misnomer). to a Rehab, and we are taking him home instead. The COVIDiocy ineptitude and callousness, in SDA institutions (and SDA family), is stunning. They WILL NOT use what works; we did and (Thanks be to GOD for the late Dr Zev Zelenko's protocol), it has sped recovery, and it can't be shared among the SDA(?) Covidians. Thanks for continued prayers . We hope to begin travel back to Washington from Florida, Monday or Tuesday. Isaiah 14:4,12-14 tells us it is the “… king of Babylon, [and the one], fallen from heaven … Lucifer … who said in his “I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation (4150), in the sides of the north: 14 … I will be like the most High.” Who (through his agents, speaks), great words against the most High, wears out His saints and thinks to change times and laws (Daniel 7:25) {1SM 316,317} “The great statute book is truth, and truth only; for it delineates with unerring accuracy the history of Satan’s deception, and the ruin of his followers. Satan claimed to be able to present laws which were better than God’s statutes and judgments, and he was expelled from heaven. He has made a similar attempt upon earth. … to put himself and his devices where God should be, … and many even of the people of God are ignorant of his devices, and they give him all the opportunity he asks… Those who are unacquainted with the laws of God’s government as expounded upon the mount, are unacquainted with the truth as it is in Jesus.”
