All the World (and the Church) Wondered After the Beast
See Revelation 13:3, 11-12, Matthew 22:36-40, and 1 Corinthians 10:11
Adam and Eve – all the world, which was the church, wondered after the beast
Noah – nearly all the world wondered after the beast
Sodom and Gomorrha – nearly all the city wondered after the beast
Joshua and Caleb – nearly all the church wondered after the […]
Deut. 26:15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
Psa. 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
Psa. 53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. […]
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 6:51 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.
Ezekiel 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Ezekiel 28:14 Thou […]
“That there is one God, a personal, spiritual being, the creator of all things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal; infinite in wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, truth, and mercy; unchangeable, and everywhere present by his representative, the Holy Spirit. Ps. 139:7.” SDA Fundamental Principle, 1889
Genesis 1:26 God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…
There are 11 uses in the KJV
Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
Notice, the Bible says he was the “king” and “the priest,” not the son of God, nor the spirit of God—and being a king and priest, he must have been a man. If, as the king of Salem (meaning peace), he brought “bread and wine” which were symbolic of the forthcoming life and death of the Son of God, could he not also be symbolic of that […]
According to Christ in Mark 8:38, He was born into an “adulterous and sinful generation.” Paul said He was in the “likeness of sinful flesh” (Romans 8:3). “Verily he took not on him the nature of angels [pure and holy]; but he took on him the seed [sperm/nature] of Abraham. 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. For in that he himself hath suffered being […]
We cannot be saved by our works, yet we cannot be saved without them. The reason? The judgment to come (consider Ecclesiastes 12:13-14, 2 Corinthians 5:10).
“There are conditions to our receiving justification and sanctification, and the righteousness of Christ. I know your meaning, but you leave a wrong impression upon many minds. While good works will not save even one soul, yet it is impossible for even one soul to be saved without good works. 1SM 377.1 (letter to AT Jones)
How do we receive light from God?
There are many ways, but one of the ways we receive light is through Bible study and prayer
Ps 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
What happens when we reject light?
Example: Saul
Multitude of the Philistines
Israel was afraid
Samuel sets a time
Saul waits, but gets impatient
1 Samuel 13:8-13 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed : but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. [9] And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace […]
Steps to the Father

Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.
Psa 77:13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Daniel 8:15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Daniel 8:16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make […]
I am neither a political activist nor an enthusiast, but I am a Bible prophecy student—therefore interested in the goings on of the governments of the world. Today I speak to the next United States President. After all, the nations are prepping to fulfill the prophecy of the second half of Revelation 13, verses 11-18!
Many kings / leaders in the Bible liked God’s people:
Gideon had just seen the “angel of the LORD…”
Judg. 6:25 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father’s young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
Judg. 6:26 And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which […]
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John 9:35-36 Jesus heard that they had cast him […]
Psa. 91:1 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
How is this word “shadow” used in the KJV?
The story of Job illustrates the experience of the 144,000. Here’s how:
Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Matthew 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
Luke 9:22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and […]
“…He permitted Him to leave the bosom of His love, the adoration of the angels, to suffer shame, insult, humiliation, hatred, and death.” SC 13.1
“…As he [Jacob] slept, a strange light broke upon his vision; and lo, from the plain on which he lay, vast shadowy stairs seemed to lead upward to the very gates of heaven, and upon them angels of God were passing up and down; while from the glory above, the divine voice was heard in a message of comfort and hope. Thus was made known to Jacob that which met the need and longing of his soul—a Saviour. With joy and gratitude he saw revealed a way by which he, a sinner, could be restored […]
Who could go wrong with promises like these?
By Dr. Michael Farris.
Greetings brothers and sisters. I have prepared this message with much prayer and study. It’s my hope that at the conclusion of this message you will be galvanized to search the Scriptures with a renewed zeal and a greater confidence in God’s word over the esteemed opinions of men. Any time one sets out to discuss religious freedom the story of Peter and John in Acts 3, 4, and 5 becomes a key text. This story is pregnant with meaning and is fitting for our subject today. Looking at this formative time we find […]
The first 19 years as a Christian (working since 2000 as a pastor), one of the things I came to do was to exalt a false Christ in the place of His Father. Since 2015, I’ve come to understand that we would be completely without hope were it not for the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Knowing the Bible describes worship of the Father and Son, we should not replace the worship of the Father with worshipping the Son, as I had been led to do.
God the Father:

Here are a few verses from the Old Testament. There are 1318 times the word city(ies) is used. I’ve skipped MOST of the verses, so please study this subject more for yourselves.
Genesis 11:4-5 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which […]
