Question regarding the Sabbath

Hello,

Thank you for writing. You wrote:
I saw your video, & I believe it. I also know Jesus did not rebuke the disciples for picking on the Sabbath, corn, I think. The reason for this question is I went to my work & I asked if I could have every Saturday off. I felt I could not go into detail, but did enough for her to know why. She is a Christian, & I asked her did she want to know facts. She did not. I have one Saturday off a month, so she gave me 3 choices, neither would work. My question is, if we do worship, can we also work, or is working out. I know God rested, sanctified it Hallowed it, &I blessed it. Why did Jesus heal, & not rebuke the disciples? What do I do?

To be sure, God wants you to be […]

7 Angels Dressed as Priests in Revelation 15

Hello again __________,

The significance of the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony being open in Heaven in 15:5 signifies a time frame: the time of the Day of Atonement. It was only during the DoA that anyone (specifically the high priest) would see that part of the temple. Yes, it is at the end of the DoA, but it is during that time when God sends out the seven Angels (the same time the four Angels will loose their holds on the winds in 7:1).

The “seven angels” appear 9 times in the KJV in the Revelation. Each time (in the trumpets of 8 -11, in Heaven during the time of the plagues in 15, on earth during the time of the plagues in 16, during the explanation of the judgment of the great whore in 17, and the blessed judgment of the bride […]

3 Woes Part of the 7 Trumpets?

Hello __________,

Regarding your last message about the last 3 woes being the first of the 10 (not just the seven) last plagues: I’ve never heard that before, and don’t believe the person you’re referring to has a strong foundation to stand on, as the book of Revelation is laid out structurally to support something differently. Here’s what I mean:

  • Chapter 1 has a picture of Christ followed by 7 churches.
  • Chapter 4-5 have a picture of Christ followed by 7 seals.
  • Chapter 8 has a picture of Christ followed by 7 trumpets.

The seals have an interlude between the 6th and the 7th seal.
The trumpets have an interlude between the 6th and the 7th trumpet.

The book of Revelation is laid out that way, I believe, showing how we ought to understand it.

Also, an amazing book called “The Great Controversy” on page 334-5 says, “In the year 1840, another remarkable […]

Beautiful Providence

Daniel… “After I talked with you at ____ and ______’s house I was impressed to figure out how I could help with your Revelation project as I saw the passion you have for it. I prayed about it and really felt I should be involved somehow. Then I prayed that if I should work with you the next client I had coming into my office would need to bring your name up within 15 minutes. Your name came up within 12 minutes just through normal conversation without me bringing it up…”

Amazing…

Live Out Thy Life Within Me!

Live out Thy life within me, O Jesus, King of kings!
Be Thou Thyself the Answer to all my questionings;
Live out Thy life within me, in all things have Thy way!
I, the transparent medium, Thy glory to display.

The temple has been yielded, and purified of sin,
Let Thy Shekinah glory now shine forth from within,
And all the earth keep silence, the body henceforth be
Thy silent, gentle servant, moved only as by Thee.

Its members every moment held subject to Thy call,
Ready to have Thee use them, or not be used at all,
Held without restless longing, or strain, or stress, or fret,
Or chafings at Thy dealings, or thoughts of vain regret.

But restful, calm and pliant, from bend and bias free,
Awaiting Thy decision, when Thou hast need of me.
Live out Thy life within me, O Jesus, King of kings!
Be Thou the glorious answer to all my questionings.

Live Out Thy Life Within Me!2016-09-14T02:38:12-07:00

Blue Laws in North Dakota

Judas and the Reward of Iniquity

(Did Judas really buy the field as in Acts, or is Matthew stating the truth that the priests did?)

Hello friends,

I’ve looked again at the two stories (mentioned at a Bible study) there in Matthew 27:3-10 and Acts 1:16-20.

What could be meant by Peter in Acts when he said, “Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity…” is, that by throwing the money down in the temple, recorded by Matthew, he was providing the money that was used to purchase the field.

The field would not have been purchased had not Judas returned the “reward of iniquity,” therefore, the start of the transaction was with Judas.

What time was Revelation 12:10?

Question:

I spoke with you last night regarding Rev. 12. You mentioned to me that this was before the crucifixion (clarification: I actually said that the first part of Revelation 12 and the verse in John 12 were before the cross), the Dragon/angels were casted out… I read John 12 which you said corresponded to Rev 12… I may have the wrong text, I don’t see the correlation. Can you clarify this?

Answer:

Good morning.
John 12:31 – “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.”
Revelation 12:10 – “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down.”
Does this help?

Spiritual warfare

We are in spiritual war. It’s obvious every day. Here’s what Paul says to do twice in one chapter, saying that with this we’ll be able to stand in the evil day:

“Put on the whole armor of God…” Ephesians 6:11, 13.

  • We need our loins girt about with truth – found in the Word: “Thy Word is truth…” (John 17:17)
  • We need the breastplate of righteousness – found in the Word: “The word of Thy righteousness…” (Psalm 119:123)
  • We need our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace – found in the Word: “Hear the word of the gospel…” (Acts 15:7)
  • Above all, we need the shield of faith – found in the Word: “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God…” (Romans 10:17)
  • We need the helmet of salvation – found in the Word: “To you is the word of this salvation sent…” (Acts 13:26)
  • We need the sword of the Spirit – […]

Colossians 2:14-17 – Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances

Here is a PDF you can PRINT if you’d like: Colossians2_14-17.


Colossians 2:14-17

“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 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.”

Look first at what God’s Word says about His law:

Studying

I’ve been studying with a group nearby for over a year. We’ve been in Revelation going verse by verse… It’s been a BLESSING! We just finished the 16th chapter tonight, focusing on the “It is done” statement made by God.

What was done?

Look at the Sanctuary of the Old Testament… There were three compartments: the outer court, holy place and most holy place.

Jesus said it on the cross, said it at the end of His priestly ministry in Revelation 16, and says it the final time in 21:6 after the judgment is complete!

Put it all together!

wow…

Revelation 15

The other day I was studying with a group I meet with during the week. All but two of them (7-12) are not church going Christians.

We were reading and discussing Revelation 15… wow… One early-twenty’s-guy came back the next week and said something like, “Last weeks study hooked me. I want to come to church with you this coming weekend.”

He has lead a life without Christ so far, so praise God that he is listening to the Holy Spirit!
