Quoting from the Maranatha Media Newsletter July 2012: “It is this question that I seek to answer before my brethren in the church that have chosen another beloved. It is my desire that every member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church would have opportunity to see the reasons why I have found the begotten Son to be sweeter and infinitely more lovely than the one called the second person of the Trinity.

One of the many blessings of being connected to the Advent movement is the fact that its foundations were laid in the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation which flowered into the midnight cry of 1844. While some are tempted to slumber upon those prophetic foundations laid so firmly still others are feeling the tension of over 170 years of apparent delay in the coming of Christ. The prophetic foundational stones of understanding found in the works of William Miller, Josiah Litch, Uriah Smith, Stephen Haskell and Alonzo T. Jones amongst others are feeling the pressure of human history continuing towards…

Presentation Notes Psa 94:20  Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? Recap The condemning power of Satan would lead him to institute a theory of justice inconsistent with mercy. He claims to be officiating as the voice and power of God, claims that his decisions are justice, are pure and without fault. Thus he takes his position on the judgment seat and declares that his counsels are infallible. Here his merciless justice comes in, a counterfeit of justice, abhorrent to God. {CTr 11.4} In the opening of the great controversy, Satan had…

This is the Good news of the Gospel. We are no longer motivated by one ounce of fear or any desire to prove ourselves. Pride is laid in the dust. We now understand mercy because we are shown mercy. We love much because we have been forgiven much. Righteousness is not a requirement but a response. God is not counting our sins, God never leaves or forsakes the sinner. The lost are lost because they forsake God. I bid you, resolve your guilt today! Cast your sins upon the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.…

Adrian and I flew into Toulouse in Southern France, which became the capital of the Visigoth Kingdom in 418 after their conquests moving westward.  The Visigoths are most famous for their armies under King Alaric sacking Rome in 410 AD, which according to our pioneers was the first trumpet in Revelation 8:7. It was the first time that Rome had fallen to a foreign army in 800 years, and was a major shock to people at that time.

On January 12 of this year, Adrian asked me if there was a possibilty of helping him with a French Translation of Identity Wars. I have been so blessed by the message of Identity Wars that I was eager to help in whatever way I could. I can not begin to tell the the number of setbacks and trials that we faced in getting this translation completed. We struggled for months just getting someone who will be willing to work on it. We had a few volunteers who wanted to help but gave up on the way. After months of…

  Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, It is such a wonderful opportunity to be able to share with other believers. Since I am new, it would be good to introduce myself :) My name is Elisabeth and I am today turning 35 years old! I am blessed with a wonderful husband and two little boys. We are living in the southern part of France, near where the Albigenses used to live. The Lord blessed us with a house in the middle of the forest where we can homeschool our children and have a closer relationship with our Father and…

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…

In our previous post titled  "Goelism #3: Boaz, Naomi and Ruth" we explored Boaz’s understanding of his responsibilities to his deceased relative, Naomi’s husband. One must understand Naomi’s position in all of this in regards to Goalism as Goelism  was the fiber which held the garment of Hebrew life together. In Deuteronomy 4:5-8 (RNKJV) we find this wonderful promise for those who believe and invest themselves in an intimate relationship with their redeemer (Goel): “4 But ye that did cleave unto (YHWH) your Elohim are alive every one of you this day. 5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and…

When you pursue a prayerful study of the book of Ruth, exciting and wonderful truths unfold. In our last post Goelism #5– Battle of the Goels, we saw how the nearest of kin came to the gate of judgment and had to walk home without his sandal. I would like to explore this event further. I attended a seminar a couple of years ago where the title of one presentation by Dennis Crystal was "Symbol is Greater than Substance." This seminar presentation opened my mind to the significance of symbolism in scripture. I have in my library a booklet that…

[Editor's note: This article highlights the 1888 principle of the gospel explained through the creation week. The formless void of the earth is compared to the sinner before Christ comes into his heart. The earth was created in the beginning but without the light of the gospel it is fruitless and empty. In this context the darkness represents the old life and even the old covenant and the light represents the new life or new covenant. This sequence is important to remember when we reflect on the process of salvation.  God has given man a complete rule of life in…

Matt 20:20,21  Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

This work was inspired during a bible study of Heaven. It has taken me almost a year to complete (lol); with every opportunity given by our Lord a piece was added, and today it is finally complete. I dedicate it to all who love the Lord, War on War on, AFTER BATTLE, HOME! To one who lives quite far from my home but has unknowingly helped to give meaning and bring this work to light, Lorelle Ebens, a Mother with tensile strength, and in her husband’s own words, a sweet wife. Your children testify of you, Angels speak of you;…

Divine Pattern principle Holy Spirit = source (Invisible) Vibration = channel (Visible) Should not our souls be in that condition that every chord of the harp of our being shall vibrate with praises to God when touched by the finger of His love! Should we not be in that nearness to God, and have that fullness of Jesus, that our souls shall be elevated, and our attention be ever directed to the grace of God, and we be led to meditate on heaven and heavenly things?  {2SAT 50.1}  {Ms4-1888} The striking feature of divine operations is the accomplishment of the…

Recently our family read through the book of Revelation as part of our family worship. We have been greatly blessed to read through the book and share together on the message contained therein. As we read through Revelation 21, we were comforted by the thought that our Father in heaven will wipe away all tears from our eyes and that the former things of this sad world will be remembered bo more. What a blessed thought. Then we came upon this verse.

I came across an interesting Wikipedia article not long ago about a very interesting thing called the identity of indiscernibles. This principle was developed by the German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The principle states that if we have two entities (these could be beings, objects, or other things) which have all things (properties) in common, then they are identical and can't be distinguished. Of course what is and isn't properties of an entity can be debatable, but it may include things like width, height, shape, personality, and so on. The wikipedia page on identity of indiscernibles explains it this way:

Download in Booklet form Yes, why do many find it so far-fetched that Jesus really is the Son of God born and brought forth from the Father? Why is this even considered such a great offense that it happens again and again all over the world that brothers and sisters who believe that, have been expelled from the Seventh-day Adventist church? No one who knows a little about the Bible will deny that in it Jesus is specifically called the Son of God, especially in the New Testament. • His Father identifies Him as His beloved Son at His baptism…

        Joining the Dots to the Sealing   While in Germany for Tabernacles of 2016, we presented the Escaping the Pentagon of Lies Series. Immediately after this, the series was presented in at Talking Rock Sabbath Chapel.  The contents of this series are vital for to understand in their context for the receiving of the seal of God. Escape from the Pentagon requires a key. That key is found in the relationship of the Father and Son. It is a source and channel relationship. 1 Cor 8:6. Within this message, we have termed this the Divine Pattern.…

last Wednesday I presented some material on the subject of strict justice. A friend shared with me a quote from Waggoner in the year 1893 that gave the most beautiful definition of God's strict justice.  I decided to take the entire article by E.J. Waggoner with his definition of Strict Justice and place it into a booklet. The sequence of thought is so precious. It also confirms the principles we have been  teaching in Identity Wars, Life Matters, Natural Justice and Atonement, and the End of the Wicked. May you be blessed as you read and share this precious document.…

In short, I can honestly say that I was “feasting on the mana – from a bountiful supply”. The Lord was ever so generous with his continuous flow of Light. The month of June was a huge feast of blessings! None need say they “know not the way”.
