2016 has come to an end and what a year it has been. The last 6 months have been full of activity. From July to November we have been travelling through Europe and the United States sharing the joy of the Third Angels message in the light of the Father and the Son. We also have had the joy of sharing the joy of the true character of our Father as revealed in the life of Jesus Christ during His earthly ministry.

"Those who would behold this glory would be drawn to love Jesus and to love the Father whom he represented. Christ exalted the character of God, attributing to him the praise, and giving to him the credit, of the whole purpose of his own mission on earth,--to set men right through the revelation of God. In Christ was arrayed before men the paternal grace and the matchless perfections of the Father. In his prayer just before his crucifixion, he declared, "I have manifested thy name." "I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do." When the object of his mission was attained,--the revelation of God to the world,--the Son of God announced that his work was accomplished, and that the character of the Father was made manifest to men." ST January 20, 1890

The journey into the true knowledge of our Father's character has taken several years and my journey I have described in this article Escaping the Pentagon of Lies and shared in the series we conducted in several locations. The series we did in Talking Rock Georgia captures the essence of the message. 

The simple reality for us to consider is that Jesus Christ on earth revealed the complete character of the Father for us. Once we accept this truth then it is immediately evident that:

"Christ never killed anyone..." Ms62-1886.64

This makes complete sense when we know that Jesus kept His Father's commandments and we are told that:

God's law is the transcript of His character. COL 305

If Jesus reveals the true character of the Father and Jesus never killed anyone then the evident conclusion is that God has never killed anyone with His own hand using lethal force. It is immediately evident then that Satan is the author and has the power of death and not God. Satan was a murderer from the beginning and has sort to place his own attributes upon our tender and precious Father.

Satan represents God's law of love as a law of selfishness. He declares that it is impossible for us to obey its precepts. The fall of our first parents, with all the woe that has resulted, he charges upon the Creator, leading men to look upon God as the author of sin, and suffering, and death. DA 24

Yet in the light of the life of Jesus on earth we see that:

Satan is the author of death. Faith and Works page 74. 

and this gives him the power of death:

Heb 2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 

This conclusion appears to be impossible to the surface reading of the Old Testament and the Spirit of Prophecy. The secret as explained in the series the Pentagon of lies is that without a correct understanding of the covenants and how the Old and New Covenant work together to bring us from death to life then we are doomed to behold our natural face in the Scriptures when we read them.

James 1:23  For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:  

The 1888 message given by Jones and Waggoner provides the key to unlocking the Scriptures and reveal the character of the Father as displayed in the earthly life of Jesus Christ. It takes a willingness to search the Scriptures carefully upon the principles of Miller's Rules  of interpretation and line upon line and precept upon precept. 

I began this search in earnest in 2014 after reading Marilyn Campbell's book (recommended by Elder Robert Wieland) Light on the Dark Side of God while in the Netherlands and accepted the truth that Jesus on earth is the full revelation of the Character of the Father. Until I accepted that truth, the effort required to complete the search never would have been given to me.  

In my search I have authored 8 booklets so far on the subject of the character of our Father. Included in the above link is the excellent little volume by Dr Gary Hullquist called the Loving Wrath of God.

The past 10 years have been an accelerated search for truth birthed out of the Identity Wars message that came on the Day of Atonement 2001 right after the fall of the towers in New York. The revelation that Jesus truly is the Son of the Father sparked the first of three conflicts relating the identity of God and His character. The second conflict has centred on the Statutes of Judgments of Yehovah leading to the third conflict as to whether the Father Himself is the revelation of His own Law.

Brethren I am writing to you with a sense of urgency on this matter. The subject of the seal of God is bound up in this question. If indeed Jesus manifested the Fathers name while on earth then that is indeed the name of the Father which is to be written in to the foreheads of the 144000. Without the correct name this sealing work cannot be completed. 

I plead with you to take this matter to our Father in heaven for it is my deep conviction that this is the fourth angels message that will light the earth with its glory. In order to understand the judgments of God in the Old Testament we must grasp the breadth of the cross as revealed in the 1888 message that Christ was slain from the foundation of the world. The booklets called Calvary in Egypt and Christ's Antediluvian Cross will begin to explain the significance of seeing the sufferings of the cross as spanning the entire human history. Christ has indeed only died once in human flesh but he suffers the agonies of crucifixion every day through the sins of the whole world.

"And they also which pierced Him." These words apply not only to the men who pierced Christ when He hung on the cross of Calvary, but to those who by evil-speaking and wrong-doing are piercing Him today. Daily He suffers the agonies of the crucifixion. Daily men and women are piercing Him by dishonoring Him, by refusing to do His will.  {ST, January 28, 1903 par. 8} 

It is in the light of the cross that the attributes of God that filled us with fear and awe become beautiful and attractive. See GC 652. We do not need to consider Christ smitten of God and afflicted in the least of his brethren if we correctly understand the 1888 emphasis of the cross and the reality that the power of Christ lights every man that comes into the world and therefore He knows the very hairs on our heads and He knows every word we speak and every thought we think. Therefore every sin we commit pierces Him. Every evil word, every sexual perversion, every indulgence of appetite pieces Him for in Him all things Consist Col 1:17. 

Those who are refusing to step into the truth of the Father and Son through the relational kingdom will not be able to discern the spiritual power reveled in the Statues and Judgments of God neither will they be able to take hold of the non-violent nature of our Father. The sequence of escaping the Pentagon of Lies is important and each step has its place. If you miss one of the steps you will find it hard to reach the submit in the seal of God.

Brethren I believe wholeheartedly that we have in our hands the pieces needed to go up an possess the promised land of rest. As in the days of Caleb and Joshua a false report of the land is being given and many will die in the wilderness of confusion that is currently seeking to spread itself against this message. As in the days of Christ, the majority will crucify the true non-violent Saviour and choose the murderer Barabbas who also claims to be the Son of the Father.

I am asking each and every one of you to pray earnestly about this message of the character of our Father and ask ourselves is this the final message to be given to the world? 

The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love. COL 415
