In heaven God is all in all. There holiness reigns supreme; there is nothing to mar the perfect harmony with God. If we are indeed journeying thither, the spirit of heaven will dwell in our hearts here. But if we find no pleasure now in the contemplation of heavenly things; if we have no interest in seeking the knowledge of God, no delight in beholding the character of Christ; if holiness has no attractions for us—then we may be sure that our hope of heaven is vain. {CCh 345.4}

Well would it be for us to have a feast of tabernacles, a joyous commemoration of the blessings of God to us as a people. As the children of Israel celebrated the deliverance that God wrought for their fathers, and his miraculous preservation of them during their journeyings from Egypt to the promised land, so should the people of God at the present time gratefully call to mind the various ways he has devised to bring them out from the world, out from the darkness of error, into the precious light of truth. We should often bring to remembrance the dependence upon God of those who first led out in this work. We should gratefully regard the old way-marks, and refresh our souls with memories of the loving-kindness of our gracious Benefactor. {RH November 17, 1885, par. 14}

most effective way of carrying on the work he began in heaven. Under his guidance the Christian world has made void the law of God by tearing down the seventh-day Sabbath, and exalting in its stead a common working day. As men depart further and further from God, Satan is permitted to have power over the children of disobedience. He hurls destruction among men. There is calamity by land and sea. Property and life are destroyed by fire and flood. Satan resolves to charge this upon those who refuse to bow to the idol which he has set up. His agents point to Seventh-day Adventists as the cause of the trouble. “These people stand out in defiance of law,” they say. “They desecrate Sunday. Were they compelled to obey the law for Sunday observance, there would be a cessation of these terrible judgments.” {RH July 16, 1901, par. 5}

Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Gal 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

The special characteristic of the beast, and therefore of his image, is the breaking of God’s commandments. Says Daniel, of the little horn, the papacy: “He shall think to change times and the law.” Daniel 7:25, R.V. And Paul styled the same power the “man of sin,” who was to exalt himself above God. One prophecy is a complement of the other. Only by changing God’s law could the papacy exalt itself above God; whoever should understandingly keep the law as thus changed would be giving supreme honor to that power by which the change was made. Such an act of obedience to papal laws would be a mark of allegiance to the pope in the place of God. {GC 446.1}

1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Dan 11:40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ THE SAME yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Joh 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO, and SIN NO MORE.

Dan 11:36, 40 And THE KING shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and THE KING OF THE NORTH shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Col 2:16, 17 Let no man therefore judge you in MEAT, or in DRINK, or in respect of AN HOLYDAY, or of THE NEW MOON, or of THE SABBATH DAYS: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

2Ch 2:4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on THE SOLEMN FEASTS of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

2Co 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of THE NEW TESTAMENT [G1242; covenant]; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

Eze 20:12 Moreover also I gave them my SABBATHS, to be A SIGN between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that SANCTIFY them. Again the people were REMINDED of the sacred obligation of the SABBATH. YEARLY FEASTS were appointed, {PP 311.2} Klik link ini untuk access BLOG POST: https://watchyetherefore.com/blog-2/hukum-musa-hukum-tuhan/

Let all who possibly can, ATTEND THESE YEARLY GATHERINGS. All should feel that God requires this of them. COME, brethren and sisters, to THESE SACRED CONVOCATION MEETINGS, to FIND JESUS. HE WILL COME up to THE FEAST. He will be present, -- Testimonies, vol. 2, pl. 575, par. 2 https://watchyetherefore.com/blog-2/apa-yang-dipakukan/

God has given us probationary time in order that it may be made manifest whether we will be loyal, OBEDIENT children, rendering obedience to his commandments, HIS STATUTES, and his laws, or whether we will persist in following a course of disobedience, and prove ourselves unworthy ofETERNAL LIFE. Those who will be doers of the words of Christ will have their names written in the Lamb’s book of life; but those who WILL NOT OBEY God’s law after light has come to them from the holy Scriptures, will be written among those whose fate is to PERISH. {RH October 9, 1894, par. 9}

Christ was standing at the point of transition between two economies and their TWO GREAT FESTIVALS. He, the spotless Lamb of God, was about to present Himself as a sin offering, that He would thus bring to an end the system of types and ceremonies that for four thousand years had pointed to His death. As He ate the Passover with His disciples, He instituted in its place the service that was to be the memorial of His great sacrifice. The national festival of the Jews was to pass away forever. The service which Christ established was to be observed by His followers in all lands and through all ages. {DA 652.2}

Those to whom the message of truth is spoken seldom ask, “Is it true?” but, “By whom is it advocated?” Multitudes estimate it by the numbers who accept it; and the question is still asked, “Have any of the learned men or religious leaders believed?” Men are no more favorable to real godliness now than in the days of Christ. They are just as intently seeking earthly good, to the neglect of eternal riches; and it is not an argument against the truth, that large numbers are not ready to accept it, or that it is not received by the world’s great men, or even by the religious leaders. {DA 459.5}

God teaches that we should assemble in His house to cultivate the attributes of PERFECT LOVE. This will fit the dwellers of earth for the mansions that Christ has gone to prepare for all who love Him. There they will assemble in the sanctuary from Sabbath to Sabbath, from one new moon to another, to unite in loftiest strains of song, in praise and thanksgiving to Him who sits upon the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever. {CCh 241.3}

There were three ANNUAL FEASTS, the Passover, the Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles, at which all the men of Israel were commanded to appear before the Lord at Jerusalem. {DA 75.2}

Again the people were reminded of the sacred obligation of the Sabbath. Yearly feasts were appointed, at which all the men of the nation were to assemble before the Lord, bringing to Him their offerings of gratitude and the first fruits of His bounties. The object of all these regulations was stated: they proceeded from no exercise of mere arbitrary sovereignty; all were given for the good of Israel. The Lord said, “Ye shall be holy men unto Me”—worthy to be acknowledged by a holy God. { PP 311.2}

Heb 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Many in the Christian world also have a veil before their eyes and heart. They do not see to the end of that which was done away. They do not see that it was only the ceremonial law which was abrogated at the death of Christ. They claim that the moral law was nailed to the cross. Heavy is the veil that darkens their understanding. The hearts of many are at war with God. They are not subject to His law. Only as they shall come into harmony with the rule of His government, can Christ be of any avail to them. They may talk of Christ as their Saviour; but He will finally say to them, I know you not. You have not exercised genuine repentance toward God for the transgression of His holy law, and you cannot have genuine faith in Me, for it was My mission to exalt God’s law. {1SM 239.2}
