The Divine Character in the Desire of Ages
“God commanded Moses for Israel, “Let them make Me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8), and He abode in the sanctuary, in the midst of His people. Through all their weary wandering in the desert, the symbol of His presence was with them. So Christ set up His tabernacle in the midst of our human encampment. He pitched His tent by the side of the tents of men, that He might dwell among us, and make us familiar with His divine character and life. “The Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us (and we […]

Exodus 25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

Judie DeLong’s Personal Testimony
Born and raised in Alaska, my mother was from the only Federally recognized Indian Reserve in Alaska – Annette Island Indian Reserve, town of Metlakatla. She met my dad while attending college in Sitka, Alaska. I have three older brothers and a younger sister and adopted younger brother. My parents were both religious. My dad travelled the world with his dad – a presbyterian minister in the military. My mother grew up going to Sunday school and church. Naturally, they brought us up in the church, morning devotions, attending church and Sunday school weekly – participating in vacation bible school, and various other church related activities. Both were Sunday-Keepers. I was water immersed baptized at about age 9. It was done because my brothers were being baptized and I was forced to do it. I didn’t understand baptism – but did what I was […]
Third Person of the Godhead
Who is this ‘third person’ we’ve heard so much about, and can we find that phrase in the Bible?
-
- No, that phrase is not found in the Bible, but Ellen White uses it—so what does it mean?
The Bible does reveal that concept, but in other words. Jesus spoke in the ‘third person’ quite often. When He used the phrase, “son of man,” it was then that we can see an application to the concept. Notice, that in most of the 88 times the phrase “son of man” was employed by the prophets […]
Angels in Acts of the Apostles
Remember, angel is only one of the ways used in the writings of EGW to refer to God’s agents. Go to the context of any section copied and pasted below to learn more.
He has sent forth His angels to minister to His church, and the gates of hell have not been able to prevail against His people. AA 11.2
Look upon the touching scene. Behold the Majesty of heaven surrounded by the Twelve whom He has chosen. He is about to set them apart for their work. By these feeble agencies, through His word and Spirit, […]
Questions
Please consider, with your God-blessed-Bible as the source for answers, these following videos with questions about God the Father, the Son of God, and the Spirit of God, along with questions about the trinity.
Share these considerations with your acquaintances. The notes are in the video descriptions and below the following videos.
Because of the Angels
Because of the Angels
Christ has a head – He is under the authority of His Father.
Man has a head – he is under the authority of Christ.
Woman has a head – she is under the authority of her husband.
Why?
Because of the angels.
Really?
Why???
Because the faithful angels didn’t know what had happened in the conflict over the begotten Son of God and the honored created son of God: Christ and Lucifer. They needed to understand what had happened and what the difference was between God the Father and His Son, so God made Adam to represent Himself, while Eve, begotten from Adam’s own substance, represented the Son.
All of this, “because of the angels.”
Studies Considering the Trinity Doctrine
Welcome.
God is leading His people to get to know Him as the Bible declares Him to be. Study here with Pastor Daniel Mesa as he considers hundreds of Bible texts concerning God, the God of the Bible.

Christ was God Essentially
Taken from the only time this quote was not included in a compilation:
“The world was made by him, “and without him was not anything made that was made.” If Christ made all things, he existed before all things. The words spoken in regard to this are so decisive that no one need be left in doubt. Christ was God essentially, and in the highest sense. He was with God from all eternity, God over all, blessed forevermore.” RH April 5, 1906, par. 6
Ephesians 3:9 and Hebrews 1:1-2 speak clearly that God the Father created all things through His Son. John 1:1–3 says that all things were created by Christ, […]

Jewels from Green Hell Audio Snippet
When I first read the book entitled, “Jewels from Green Hell” I was deeply impressed with the history of a man who, living in the jungles of Guyana, wanted and prayed for light, so God sent him an angel. The two chapters (just over 15 minutes) that cover that story are included in this short reading;
Genesis in the New Testament
The 74 references to Abraham in the New Testament alone! 80 references to Moses! 9 references to Adam, 27 references to Jacob, and 79 references to Israel!
If you claim Christianity, you might want to know that Christ quoted or referred to Genesis several times:
Matthew 11:23-24 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
Matthew 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more […]
The Latter (Ladder) Rain
Deuteronomy 11:14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
Job 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Proverbs 16:15 In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
Jeremiah 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter […]
Answering Mr. O in Regard to Omnipresence
Mr. O, I mentioned I would put a video together, but after starting to write out the notes, I found that writing would be a good way to go. I hope you don’t mind the change in what I said I would do. My comments are in bold:
Hello Pastor. I have some concerns regarding this video presentation and I am hoping you can help me understand. First of all, I agree with everything you have presented as far as the sources you have quoted. My concern is, I am afraid I am not understanding your interpretation of the material you have conveyed.
Thank you so much. If you could help, I would request that you go through the video again, pointing out precisely where I have misconstrued the words I […]
Courtship with Isaac and Rebekah
Principles of courtship from the Bible
Genesis 24:1 Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
- Abraham, an aged man that God had blessed in all things. Old and wise, mature, careful, instructed by the Lord, someone who it would be well for us to take counsel from.
Genesis 24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, […]
Proverbs 8:22-30
This chapter starts out addressing “wisdom.” Notice how 1 Corinthians 1:24 and 30 address this issue saying that Christ is wisdom.
“Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:24
“Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom.” 1 Corinthians 1:30
Ellen White applies Proverbs 8:22-30 directly to Christ in Patriarchs and Prophets 34.1 by saying, “the Son of God declares concerning Himself…”
Proverbs 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Possessed: […]
My Testimony and How God Has Led Me – the Richard Story Testimony
My Testimony and How God Has Led Me.
By Richard Story
The purpose of this testimony is not intended to be an all-inclusive autobiography. I’m trying to tell how I kept Jesus out of my heart, and He finally got me to listen to Him.
I was born in a Naval hospital, in Atlanta, Georgia, during a snow storm which is highly unusual for Georgia, even if it was December 12, 1944. I was 22 inches long, and weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. My initial size belied the fact that throughout my life I’ve been average height and definitely […]
The Foreknowledge of God
Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge (Gr: prognosis, 1 of 2 uses) of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
Romans […]
