The 3 Angels Message Part I OurLivingFoundations.com EGW – Investigate our Faith • I am glad that a time has come when something will stir our people to investigate the points of our faith for themselves. We should not consider that either Elder Butler or Elder Smith are the guardians of the doctrines for Seventh-day Adventists, and that no one may dare to express an idea that differs from theirs. EGW – A Reason of the Hope • My cry has been: Investigate the Scriptures for yourselves, and know for yourselves what saith the Lord. No man is to be authority for us. If he has received his light from the Bible so may we also go to the same source for light and proof to substantiate the doctrines which we believe. The Scriptures teach that we should give a reason of the hope that is within us with meekness and fear. {1888 188.1} EGW – Sharing with a Brother • If a brother differs with you on some points of truth, do not stoop to ridicule, do not place him in a false light or misconstrue his words, making sport of them; do not misinterpret his words and wrest them of their true meaning. This is not conscientious argument. Do not present him before others as a heretic, when you have not with him investigated his positions, taking the Scriptures text-by-text in the spirit of Christ to show him what is truth. EGW – Sharing with a Brother • You do not yourself really know the evidence he has for his faith, and you cannot clearly define your own position. Take your Bible, and in a kindly spirit weigh every argument that he presents, and show him by the Scriptures if he is in error. When you do this without unkind feelings, you will do only that which is your duty and the duty of every minister of Jesus Christ. nd 2 Peter 1:19-21 • 2Pe 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: (20) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (21) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

What condescension God has shown that He should give His Son that we might defeat the powers of darkness! God was not the originator of sin, in order that He might rid the human race of sin. Here was the law of God, and He could not alter it a jot or tittle. It was a representation of His character. He could not change it because it is by that law that we are to be judged in the last day. EGW – The Cross • It is no excuse to say that iniquity abounds, and that the law of God is done away or changed or altered. It is this that causes the existence of iniquity. This is the very work that Satan commenced in heaven, and he will carry it forward to the end. I ask you what position shall we take that we may be partakers of the divine nature? Why should we not see in that law the righteousness of Jesus Christ? Christ comes in and imputes to me His righteousness in His perfect obedience to that law. {1888 125.1} EGW – The Cross • Here the battle is before us. We see the battle, how Christ contended with the powers of darkness; and we see what He has done, and why the cross of Calvary had been erected between God and man. Then what? Man comes to Christ, and God and man are united at the cross, and here mercy and truth have met together, righteousness and truth have kissed each other. EGW – The Cross • This is drawing man to the cross, where Christ died in behalf of man, to elevate the law of Jehovah, but not to lessen it one iota. Could He have done this, Christ need not have died. The cross of Calvary will stand in the judgment and testify to everyone the immutability and changeless character of the law of God, and not a word can be offered for sin in that day. {1888 125.2} Everlasting = Alpha & Omega Christ Eden Restored Eden Fear God Give Glory Judgment Judge Lawgiver King Isa33:22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us The Cross 2520 Days Judgment Law Obedience Grace Righteousness Mercy Character Truth O u r E x p e r i e n c e Love of God EGW The Cross & The Law • On Sabbath afternoon I had freedom in presenting to the people the necessity of obeying the law of God. It is not enough to say that we believe. We must have that genuine faith which works by love, and purifies the soul. God has given us a perfect standard of righteousness in his law. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself." EGW The Cross & The Law • This comprehends the whole duty of man to his God and to his neighbor. We owe to God our life, and all that makes life desirable, and when we refuse to render obedience to him, we rob and defraud our own souls. No man can choose his own way without deep ingratitude to God; in so doing he renders to God enmity for love. {RH, March 5, 1889 par. 2} Everlasting = Alpha & Omega Christ Eden Restored Eden Fear God Genuine Faith Judge Give Glory Works by Love Lawgiver Judgment Purifies the Soul King Today - You Isa33:22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us Holy Boldness • We May Come with Boldness to this Awful Throne • The terror of God's throne is the same terror that was at Sinai--the terror of the law. Yet that same throne is "the throne of grace," to which we are exhorted to come with boldness. Even so "Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was" 3 on Sinai. Not only Moses, but "Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel" went up into the mount; "and they saw the God of Israel; Holy Boldness • and there was under His feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. And upon the nobles of Israel He laid not His hand; also they saw God, and did eat and drink. (Exo 24:10,11)" If it had not been so, then we should not have had a positive demonstration of the fact that we may indeed come with boldness to the throne of grace -that awful throne whence comes lightnings and thunderings and voices--and find mercy there. Holy Boldness • The law makes sin to abound, "but where sin abounded, grace did much more abound." The cross was at Sinai, so that even there was God's throne of grace. "Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other." {1900 EJW, EVCO 318.3} Links • • • • • • • • www.OurLivingFoundations.com www.webelievesda.org www.2520yearprophecy.com www.theseventhunders.com www.adventtimes.com www.future-news.org www.the2520.com www.col-ministries.com The 3 Angels IMessage Part VII OurLivingFoundations.com 2520 & The Cross 1260 Days 3.5yrs 2520 Christ John the Baptist 1260 Days 3.5yrs Christ Stephen Abraham Isaac Jacob Noah Daniel Job SDA / SOP 144K Isaac Abraham Millerites Jacob 1st Angels Message 2nd Angels Message 3rd Angels Message 2520 -The Cross - Glorified 1260 Days 3.5yrs 2520 Christ John the Baptist 1260 Days 3.5yrs Christ Stephen Jacob Abraham Isaac Jacob Isaac Noah Daniel Job Millerites SDA / SOP 144K Purified Made White Tried Justified Sanctified 1st Angels Message 2nd Angels Message Abraham Judgment 3rd Angels Message EGW – Revival & Reformation God calls for a spiritual revival and a spiritual reformation. Unless this takes place, those who are lukewarm will continue to grow more abhorrent to the Lord, until He will refuse to acknowledge them as His children. {1SM 127.3} EGW – Revival & Reformation A revival and a reformation must take place, under the ministration of the Holy Spirit. Revival and reformation are two different things. Revival signifies a renewal of spiritual life, a quickening of the powers of mind and heart, a resurrection from spiritual death. Reformation signifies a reorganization, a change in ideas and theories, habits and practices EGW – Revival & Reformation Reformation will not bring forth the good fruit of righteousness unless it is connected with the revival of the Spirit. Revival and reformation are to do their appointed work, and in doing this work they must blend.--The Review and Herald, Feb. 25, 1902.
