Possibly you could have an array of colors in three brothers, but since no one was there to actually see them, it is all speculation. I am not really will to go out on a limb and say the "colors of the races" was evident in Noah's sons. No one can know what their colors were. Adam is said in SOP to have been red. And even his name has that Hebrew entymological relationship to color and even the earth (dirt). While we are here, Saturn has an interesting name Shabbatai שבתאי, Saturn Meaning: "the restful one," whose name is parallel to that of the Sabbath Day; the Seventh day; the day of rest. Esoterically, Saturn embodies Time itself. In the midst of time's passage, Saturn remains still and silent, drawing all endeavors to a close. Actually if it is important, Genesis lists how the earth was divided. Follow the migration paths of Shem, Japheth, and Ham and the answer will surprise you.

B/W Photodude Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 From the General Conference session of 1897 Elder Kauble.—I read in the Testimonies that we ought not to teach new doctrines until after counseling with the leading brethren. The question comes, Are we to take our own individual judgment as to what is light? Ellot Waggoner–No; we are not to take our own individual judgment about anything. Cursed is the man that trusteth in man. There is nothing so accursed as for a man to trust in himself. We have the mind of the Spirit to depend on, instead of our own. That statement in the Testimonies is needed, but we need not be worried over it. Did you ever meet a man, and he would say, I have a new sermon, a new point, some new light. He tells you about it, and says, What do you think about this. He does not mean, of course, to ask your advice, but only to get your assent to his theory, so that he will feel more secure. I will tell you that in all my experience I have never seen anything in that way. In all my experience in the truth I have never yet found a new point, or gone to any one and said, I have a new point; because I never tried to get out anything new. I have not the slightest sympathy with anybody that goes about to get out new theories. Such a one could be in better business than that. phkrause 1 Quote >>>Texts in blue type are quotes<<< ***************************************************************************** And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.

Unfortunately, in my experience, when I repeatedly tried to put it in practice, most of my fellow believers that I encountered were not interested in studying. They had the Laodicean mindset that they knew everything of importance regarding salvation issues and made countless excuses or rejected everything that they did not understand without looking at the matter objectively. My favorite Author states that God has called every SDA to be a watchmen. When we see salvation issues, we must say something or we will be held accountable for the loss of souls. Our task is to give the warning, not to worry how it is received. On the other hand, if we encounter wolves in sheep's clothing who cast a shadow over the work that we are doing, God will take care of them in His own way and in His own time. If we encounter doubting souls, that cannot discern between truth and error, we are to pray with and for them. And if we encounter rebels that call sweet sour or trip the blind, we are to pray for them as well. It takes all kinds of people for the wheat and tares to grow together until the harvest. Bottom line as I read it: study to show ourselves approved of God workers that need not to be ashamed when we stand before God because the Holy Spirit led us to rightly divide the word of truth; and work out our salvation in the love of Jesus with fear and trembling.

You forgot the "operative" word in the quote by Elder Kauble. He stated counsel with the "leading" brethren. I am not sure if your local interested (or not) study partners qualify. For a very significant new finding, the pattern of Glacier View with Desmond Ford shows a practice more in line with the impressions from the Testimonies. So, this is what I suggest for you. You have been wrong on prophecy before, so maybe "prophecy" is not your spiritual gift. Perhaps you might go back to the "drawing board" and discover just what your spiritual gift might be. I believe everyone is given spiritual gifts and I believe the Bible and SOP supports the idea that everyone has a gift. There are many resources out there that can assist you is this endeavor. https://youth.adventist.org/Resources/Spiritual-Gifts-Assessment https://www.adventist.org/en/beliefs/church/spiritual-gifts-and-ministries/ 4 hours ago, hch said: My favorite Author states that God has called every SDA to be a watchmen. The question then becomes, what are we supposed to be watching for as we walk along the walls? The latest little military skirmish begins to pale a bit when you consider the entire scope of the end time events. FWIW, I find what is going on in American politics to be much more significant even if the details are not covered in Bible prophecy. Many feel the church is about to fall, but others feel the American government is about to fall at times into a socialist state. I do not anticipate that either will occur. To be sure there are many in both scenarios who are very self centered and are looking out for number one and that number one is not Jesus.

Too much time is spent trying to parse out every nuance of Bible prophecy, especially when the tendency is to fit it to current and even regional events. There is an old adage that the devil is in the details. And another point that my favorite author makes is that Satan's work is all the better for him if he can work unseen behind the scenes. As King Cyrus was revealed by name by Isaiah 175 years before he reigned, about 600 years before Christ, Daniel stated that Michael shall stand for his people. Searching prophecy a little deeper with the intent to have the correct understanding at the correct time indicates to me that "Michael" has a dual meaning. 1) Michael (a counterfeit) that is opposed to Christ will stand for his apostate people, and 2) Michael, who is Christ, will stand for His people. The only way to know that Bible prophecy is being correctly understood is to study the details or as you write: " to parse out every nuance of Bible prophecy." The way to ensure personal defeat is to ignore the details, promote traditional understandings that were the best available at the time they were formed, and wait and see. But prophecy is given for a purpose. To Understand the purpose behind God's prophetic revelation I suggest brushing up on Revelation 1. Based on memory, it goes something like this...the Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to Him to SHOW His servants things which MUST shortly come to pass...blessed is he that readeth and they that hear….

Read Revelation from a Cosmic Conflict view, and not the typical historicist view (which changes depending on the interpreter) and EGW's quote above makes perfect sense. The scroll that is sealed contains writing that is not unknown, it is not understood. Christ is the one who unlocks the seals, that is, reveal the true meaning. Don't trust everyone on a white horse.

hch Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 8 hours ago, Gregory Matthews said: So, HCH, you are saying that Pence will become President? Perhaps? Gregory, yes. When I understood the identity of the first beast in Revelation 13, I knew that the 7th head was Benedict XVI and that President Bush II had been anointed the Protestant Prince of the Covenant on 20 January 2001 in fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Thus I followed the transition of the prophecy from Benedict XVI to Bush II. Since the second beast only had 2 lamblike horns, I was certain that they were Bush II and Obama. When Trump came to office, it meant back to the Bible and my prayer closet. The solution hinged on the word duo. I already understood that Pope John-Paul II had repeated the 42 months from 9/11/01 to 2 April 2005, received and healed from the deadly wound, made communism fall without firing a shot, and the world wondered after him (Reagan healed his papal wound on behalf of USA and Bush I declared pope John-Paul II the world's Moral Leader [head of all the churches]). I also understood that there was some time left over between 9/11/01 to 4/2/05 (42 full months) and part of Sept 2001 & April 2005. I also knew that the 42 months on the Hebrew calendar were 42 & 2 to the very day (the month of Adar I had been added twice during that timeframe). But I did not understand the significance of 42 & 2, even though I was aware of the fact that they had fulfilled the prophecy and that the word duo in Luke 10:1 with ana (that means by) is read two by two. The word duo is the two doubled. When I had my epiphany moment, duo in Revelation 13 relating to Pope John-Paul II was fulfilled literally as 40 and 2 & 2 months. The same word duo in the description of the 42 months is in the description of the earth beast's horns: It must be read as 2 & 2 horns. Thus the kings from the earth are Bush II, Obama, Trump, and a final President. Daniel 12:1 states that Michael stands, Them comes the time of trouble, then deliverance. Putting that together with what I already understood about Daniel 11 with the comments from the Spirit of prophecy. Michael (Pence) standing for his people is a counterfeit of Michael (Christ ) standing for His people. The last events will be rapid ones! I hope I am wrong. There will no satisfaction in being correct. But with the time allotted for the Judgment of the dead and living ended, the dead church having two living popes as Babylon had two kings when it fell, and the 4th angel sounding in Revelation, being at the end of the 6000 years from creation, etc., there are just too many factors coming together now to dare chance studying to show ourselves approved of God workers that won't need to be ashamed to stand in His presence.

I know who I'll listen to!! Ellen White is completely right! And since she and I agree completely, you are making a false contrast. let's look t a few of her counsels: Quote God calls upon those who stand as soldiers under his blood-stained banner to go to work. He will give increased light to those who love the light, to those who seek for the truth with keen perception. In the Holy Spirit, celestial aid is given to every soul. Heavenly inspiration is still imparted to God's people. God would have those who know the truth impart that which they have gained in Christian experience. The time is coming when it will be too late to use the light we now have. Then the decree will go forth: "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." {RH, August 23, 1898 par. 7} Quote The Lord lives and reigns. There is to be such a time of trouble as there never was since there was a nation. Already nations are angry, already Satan is working with signs and lying wonders, and this will increase until the end. God will use His enemies as instruments to punish those who have followed their own pernicious ways whereby the truth God has been misrepresented, misjudged, and dishonored. These enemies of God are living evidences of the truth of His word; they are fulfilling that which holy men of old spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. God does not forewarn His people of trifles; the repetition of caution and warnings shows that there is importance in that which was spoken. Do those who claim to want light, treat the light with the respect which is due? {PC 136.3} Quote We should have less preaching, and more teachings. As we approach nearer the end, I have seen that in our camp-meetings there will be less preaching and more Bible study,--little groups all over the ground with their Bibles in their hands, and different ones leading out in a free conversational study of the Scriptures. It has been shown me that our camp-meetings were to increase in interest and success. There are those who want more definite light than is received from the preaching of the Word. Some need a longer time than do others to understand the points presented. If the teaching could be made a little plainer, they would see the truth, take hold of it, and it would be like a nail fastened in a sure place. {PH130 40.1} Quote The solemn message for this time has a certain sound which we all should heed. The signs of the times tell us that the end of all things is at hand. Prophecies fulfilled have become facts of history, clearly defining our position. We are standing upon the verge of the eternal world. Because iniquity abounds, the love of many is waxing cold. Instead of this, love for God, love for purity, truth, and holiness, should be increasing in our hearts. The increase of wickedness around us should awaken in us more earnest zeal and stronger determination. The faith of God's true people, manifested, as was Noah's, by their works, should stand as a beacon of warning to the world. If our works do not correspond with our profession, we present to the world a false light, and thus lure them on to destruction. {RH, November 29, 1881 par. 10} Quote His child Henry Bible student/Author https://www.loudcry101.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
