Dear Friend,

 

 

There has been some time since my last mail to you. I imagine that, in the meantime, you, as I, have found reason for focusing your attention and your thoughts on more than a thing or two of great value…

 

 

A little afterthought re my last mail to you…

 

One of the thoughts that came to me since my last mail, the one with a copy of an article about the sins of the Midianites, had to do with these words of Jesus:

 

“A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.”

(Matthew 13:57 and Mark 6:4.)

 

 

Not that I have any wish whatsoever to be called a prophet, but I have always desired to attain to a better understanding of such things in my own life that has to do with cause and effect, and it is my understanding that the  word ‘prophet’ applies to someone that is somehow able to foretell what is coming based upon causes that are and has been, that is cause and consequence…

 

Well, after some thought it came to me, indeed, in consequence of my prior mail to you, that said mail of mine could easily have been misunderstood by such people as may be somewhat familiar with my own past experiences in life. Thus, by reading my letter from that point of view, my letter could potentially be misunderstood as a subtle accusation on my part, in spite of the fact that such a thought had never ever entered my mind! On the other hand, another reader of my mail, someone that never knew me personally, would not be likely to read my letter from such a point of view, nor to take it as a personal accusation. There would not be any reason for so doing, would there? Now, if you think about it, isn’t this kind of thing the very reason for our tendency to accept the teachings brought to us by strangers, from far away lands, much more readily than very similar messages that are being brought to us by people close to us, by our own family members, by our neighbors, or by people in our very own local church?

 

Think about it! Perhaps there would be rich blessings inherent in considering what values we might have available very close to home? Lessons learned by people close to us, people that have found reason for considering more closely the reasons for undesirable consequences that may be hitting each or all of us in our own local community or within each our own family? Wouldn’t there be a potentially very great blessing inherent in listening attentively whenever we may, at first, be feeling falsely accused…? Perhaps, if we’d rather stop ourselves for a minute and think, rather than doing what may seem only too natural, to defend ourselves, or even to point our finger back against the messenger bringing us a message that may somehow feel like a personal accusation of sorts… Wouldn’t that be better? Wouldn’t there be some potentially great blessings in such an alternate attitude? Perhaps there are heretofore unnoticed realities to be learned and recognized from the recognition somehow discerned by someone in our midst, by someone, anyone, whom we think we may know very well… Perhaps we should each step back, listen a little more objectively, recognize that each of us are created with unique gifts and with unique abilities to discern, that, in a way, even those closest to us may be discerned as a messenger from another  world… Indeed, didn’t Jesus too experience how that his very own family, as well as the people of his home town, rejected his teachings, even while Jesus wished them nothing but good and the blessings of God. Accordingly, shouldn’t this example out of Jesus’ own life serve us as a message of salvation that we may apply, each in our own locality, and each in our very own family?

 

Be that as it may, if anyone, you, were to feel that something in the above is hitting home… Well, shortly after my above referenced mail, God used one of my dear old friends for sending me a wonderful PowerPoint presentation which I hope may serve as balm on a hurting wound. Please enjoy the wonderful gifts our Lord and Creator might offer you by means of this link!

 

 

 

 

What else may be a timely message? What about all we see and hear re 2012? What about Jesus’ Second Coming? What should we expect for ourselves within the near future? Perhaps the future is much closer to our present than we ever thought? Will there be safety… or the lack of it?

 

Did you know that the exact date being attached to the end of the Maya calendar is due within a very few days of now, that is, already by October 28, 2011?!!! Not, as commonly thought and taught, on December 21, 2012! Well, until yesterday, I wasn’t aware of that either, but, as it may appear, those in the know are making that quite clear. On the other hand, the message re whatever event(s) that are supposed to be associated with that date is much more nebulous or unclear, at least so far as events in the exterior physical world is concerned… Most of the teachers of those things that I’ve seen seem to agree that the essential thing is for each and all to prepare and to purify themselves in thought and in action. Well, to me at least, this seems very much the same as that which I perceive as a most essential message of the Word of God, and much the same as that which I perceive in the terms “righteousness by faith” and “the message of 1888.” To me these terms are indeed most important, terms that I associate with being ready and prepared for the coming of the Messiah… and, as well, to be prepared for each and every tomorrow, be such in regards to the short term, the ever present now, or to the long term…

 

It been said over and over again that no one knows the time for the Second Coming of Messiah… (Cf. Romans 13:11 as well as Matt 24:36 and Mark 13:32.) On the other hand, Ellen White is the author of both of the following passages:

 

”Different times were repeatedly set for the Lord to come and were urged upon the brethren; but the Lord showed me that they would all pass by, for the time of trouble must come before the coming of Christ, and that every time that was set and passed by would only weaken the faith of God’s people. For this I was charged with being the evil servant that said in his heart, “My Lord delayeth His coming.” ”

(E. G. White, EW 34.1)

 

 

”The mountains shook like a reed in the wind, and cast out ragged rocks all around. The sea boiled like a pot and cast out stones upon the land. And as God spoke the day and the hour of Jesus’ coming and delivered the everlasting covenant to His people…”

(E. G. White, EW 34.1)

 

 

Well, it may not always be all that easy to properly and exactly understand what is being meant by passages such as these, most especially as it touches upon things that have not yet happened, or, perhaps, as we keep applying such prophecies upon a future yet to be… I believe the wise thing to do is to bring to mind Jesus’ own words re just how we are to treat prophecies, that is, by being careful to pay heed to and remember the exact original words of such prophecies, while then continually being watchful for anything and everything in our everyday life that may, in fact, represent a fulfillment of such a prophecy, whether in part or in full (cf. John 14:28-29!) Otherwise it is only too easy to superimpose one’s own preconceived ideas and to create false expectations, upon the words of prophecy, such that in the end we do not even recognize the obvious fulfillment of the prophecy even while it may be staring us in the face. That is, great disappointments are due to false expectations! And, even then, the real and true fulfillment may be eons beyond that which we might have been able to conjure up merely with our own imagination. But perhaps this reflects merely my own experiences? Not yours?

 

 

As you should have noticed by now, I’ve been focusing very much upon that which touches on God’s own reckoning of time and upon God’s own calendar as defined and used in the Holy Scriptures. For one thing the Word of God makes it very clear, consider for instance the first angel’s message of Revelation 14, that it is the present, the now, every now, that is of essence. Only in the present is it possible to choose and to make decisions, or isn’t that true? Tomorrow has not yet come, and yesterday cannot be changed…

 

To me it is becoming ever more obvious that God, from the very beginning of time, has set up a very special series of dates with His beloved People, with His wedded Wife. Those days are designed to be very special days, feast days, Sabbaths. And that applies not only to every Seventh Day of the week since the beginning of the creation of the universe, but also to seven very special annual feast days that are defined by the motions of those heavenly bodies that God created in the very midst of the creation week, that is, that He created on the Fourth Day…

 

If you are familiar with the Biblical concept of chiasms, which word describes the fact that in the Bible we find the most important messages, the key messages, in the very midst of every single story. Well, think about that, and consider the importance God must be placing upon time itself, and upon the very basis for keeping time, that is, as emphasized by the point in time, within the creation week, chosen for creating those heavenly time keepers, the Sun, the Moon, and the stars! Would it ever make sense for the Creator to undo His own highest priorities? Why would the Creator ever wish to turn our focus away from the importance of becoming ever more familiar with, and awed by, all the beauty and all the essentials that are tied to that which we associate with the word heaven(s)?

 

Don’t we have a good reason for questioning rather our own thoughts, our own belief systems, based as those are upon nothing more than traditions which have gradually lost touch with their own origin? Or isn’t there a distinct difference between that which is being defined by the term “ceremonial laws” such as describe only laws defined by men, that is, in contradistinction to all such laws as are solidly anchored upon the Creator’s own pure and Holy Word? Or isn’t it true that the rituals and the ceremonial laws is all that which God had always detested, even from the very beginning, because all such are by definition missing the very point of that which our Creator is wishing to teach us by our listening to and by heeding exactly that which He is recommending for us? And aren’t there very distinct differences between God’s pure and Holy Word as given to us through Moses, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, those ceremonial laws that are nothing but deviations from that which belongs to God, our Creator, alone?

 

This morning, the morning of the Sixth Day, I read Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I came to notice especially Paul’s reference to a certain law that was supposedly given 430 years after a certain promise to Abram. What exactly happened at the point of 430 years? Is that the time when Moses was given all that which he was given on Mount Sinai? Or, is that the time when, on that very day, God led His People out of Egypt, thus fulfilling His promise, thus fulfilling His agreement, His law, the contract between Him and Abram? Consider it! Perhaps that’ll give quite another twist and quite another spark to those words of Paul?!!!

 

As time is passing I am noticing that the further I dive into this study of God’s own reckoning of time, as revealed in the Holy Scriptures, the more alone I’ve become re my understanding of certain important details that apparently have become forgotten since centuries and millennia in the past, that is, in consequence of that which is also prophesied  in Daniel 7:25. For instance, this last one year I’ve been numbering the Biblical months such that God’s annual feasts have been falling one month later that the corresponding ones being observed by the Karaites and by others whose focus and intent is to keep God’s annual feasts in accord with the instructions of Leviticus 23. In consequence of this different reckoning my eyes have been opened to certain things that otherwise I certainly would still be as blind to as are most others…

 

I’ve mentioned one such thing in a prior email, that is, the correspondence in time between Christmas Day, 2010, and King Jeroboam’s feast in commemoration of himself on the 15^th day of the 8^th Month. More recently I’ve also come to recognize that the correct end point of the Mayan calendar is October 28, 2011, rather than December 21, 2012 as commonly believed and taught.  Well, that day, October 28, 2011 happens also to correspond with the Day of Trumpets announcing not only the 7^th and last month of the current Biblical year, but also the month within which is found the beginning of the next Scripture year, the year associated with the number 2012.

 

Furthermore, I’ve felt quite blessed by realizing God’s guidance into a very special field, which I had not expected to look into or learn anything about until it happened, nor did I have much of any idea about those things before. The subject matter was the Great Dark Day of May 19, 1780, and the Great Star Shower of November 13, 1833 and the real time events behind those experiences of our forefathers, which events have been widely published as fulfilling the prophetic words of Jesus, our Messiah, that is, of Matt 24:29 and Mark 13:24-25. And this study has not been for naught. Following those recognitions, I’ve come to recognize some potentially important connections between those events and some current and upcoming celestial events that could, if worse come to worse, have devastating effects upon our planet. These potential events pertain to comets and meteors and may even have been exactly foretold by means of certain Bible codes that have only recently been discovered and published and which Bible codes identify the Jewish calendar year beginning this fall 2011…

 

It may be that reading about such things may be almost too thrilling to some, yes, even a bit scary? Yet, in all of this I truly treasure having the conviction that I can fully trust my Lord and Savior to carry me through even the worst of times for the best of all of us. It is truly good to be able to commit myself into His hands in the beginning of every day as well as continually, and to trust Him to lead and guide me step by little step through my life and into the future. – There truly exists no other insurance company that can ever keep anyone safe from such accidents that truly are due to the powers of the universe, does it?

 

In the end (cf. also this link, especially the last sentence in the first paragraph) I sense a tremendous joy and appreciation for the inheritance we all have received by means of the Advent movement and  by means of the focus and efforts of the pioneers of that movement. I truly find a tremendous sense of security in focusing upon how I, together with my family, together with my neighbors, and with others, are being offered a continual cleansing of our thoughts, of our words, and of our deeds, from all of that which holds us back from so many blessings that our Creator has, since the beginning of time, been wishing to shower upon us, to give us ever greater wisdom, delight, joy, happiness, health, and even longevity. Yes, to become ever more one with those characteristics which belong to the God of Love, the God of Life, our Creator… Indeed, to me this is genuine and very real security!

 

 

My wish and desire is for the peace of our Creator and our Redeemer to continually rest over, heal, and strengthen all those ties the keeps each our families and homes together,

 

Until next,

Shalom,
