Abstract:

Remember the Sabbath Day…. Each one of them!  Remember the patterns set before us! Remember the experience of the two disciples on their way to Emmaus! How does that experience parallel our own experience in the here and now? Are we in the same boat with the two of them? Are we of the same mindset as they were then and there?

 

What about each our own expectations of the Second Coming of Christ?

 

 

 

 

 

Considerations:

1.     Considering the Bible passages re the women and the disciples first visit to the empty tomb very close the sunset, it seems clear from the above findings that the two disciples were walking for no more than about 1 hour and 50 minutes before arriving at Emmaus. That is certainly compatible with a roundtrip distance from Jerusalem to Emmaus of 60 stadia (7 miles – 11 km) as per the findings in the fine article available here and here [same as within the black box above].

 

2.     The above findings also agree perfectly with the two disciples being able to return to Jerusalem in time to join all of the disciples assembled in the upper room per Luke 24:9, 33.

 

3.     So why did God have me consider this text passage at this particular time, that is, beginning on March 16, 2023?

Is there a crucial message hidden within this passage, that I and other Sons and Daughters of God need to recognize at this very time in history?

 

Asking myself the above question, it didn’t take long before I was reminded of these words:

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.  KJV Rev 1:7 

 

Did the eyes of the two disciples see Jesus walking and talking with them along their way?

”15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

”16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. Luk 24:15-16

  

Could it be that likewise, on October 22, 1844, the very same type of situation did occur?

 

Could it be that ever since October 22, 1844, very much the same type of situation is being experienced by a great majority of SDAs, as also amongst Christians and others who are truly and honestly seeking for truth, seeking the God of Truth, the God of Life, and the God of Love?

 

Could it be that, while clinging on to the traditions that we’ve been taught, we are afraid of finding new and, to each of us, unfamiliar truths as we are each reading and studying our Bibles? What about these Bible passages?:

 

Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.  Lev 19:31  

 

And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. Lev 20:6  

 

Who is the one that is using fear as one of him most effective and most destructive weapon against each one amongst us?  What does the Bible teach us about fear? How many hits do you find in KJV for the phrase ‘Fear not!’ ?: [1]   And what may we learn from the testimony of our Savior and Redeemer about how to approach New Light? Does new light give joy or sadness?

 

NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path…  Psa 119:105  

 

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.  Psa 119:111  

 

And did you know that ‘NUN’ (Hebrew: נ = נונ) is a Hebrew letter and word meaning ‘fish’[2], and is also the Hebrew figure [number] ‘50’?  As in Pentecost!  Has God, our Creator and Redeemer, given us Pentecost, as also all of His other Sabbaths (as defined in Leviticus 23) for sadness or for joy?

 

Are we, I and you, accepting and enjoying all of those Feast days of rejoicing as exactly defined in the Bible, OR are we choosing instead the counterfeit holidays of the Jews? Or even those of Rome? Of the Vatican? Is there a lesson to be learned in the experience of Cain and Abel and their respective sacrifices, and the results thereof? Did both of them receive the blessings of God?

 

Do we, I and you, have a choice before us as to whether to receive eternal joy, or else eternal sadness?

 

Remember the Third Angel’s message?

 

What did the two disciples discover in Emmaus? What did they do next? Did you know that that day[3] was the Third Day [of the week], or that that day was the Seventh Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread?

 

Has the result of those events become a source of joy and gladness, or else, “the Great Disappointment”?

 

What has been your choice thus far?  What do you choose at this very point in time?

 

“The Great Disappointment…?” OR is our Redeemer offering each One among us something that is infinitely much better?  Yes, even here and now, where ever you and I may be located in time and space!

 

Is there something more for SDAs to learn from that event of the two disciples at Emmaus?  For me? For you?

 

BTW, today, Wednesday March 22, 2023, is a very special day for two very special determinations…. In our Creator’s own calendar, will tonight be the beginning of the next month or not, or else, will that be tomorrow? And will tonight be the beginning of Month #1, or else the beginning of an intercalated month #13? More at this Karaite link!

 

Will my choice re the above two options allow me to walk more closely with my Creator on the exact dates that He alone is appointing?

 

Does it make a difference whether or not I choose to take time out to discern and to actually spend time with God at the specific points in time that He is scheduling for an appointment with me in His Book?

 

What do you think? What do you “Remember…” Ex 20:8; Lev 23!

 

 

 

 

Do the following words ring a bell?:

 

In Ellen Gould Harmon’s first vision after October 22, 1844, she writes:

As God spoke the day and the hour of Jesus’ coming, and delivered the everlasting covenant to His people, He spoke one sentence, and then paused, while the words were rolling through the earth…” [LDE 272.1-273.1]

 

But that was before Ellen Harmon joined hands in matrimony with James White on Sunday August 30, 1846, and before the two of them recognized and accepted “the Seventh Day” Sabbath shortly thereafter in 1846.

 

That is, James & Ellen White celebrated their wedding on the day that, at that time, they believed was God’s Sabbath. Consider it! Selah!

 

Even so, there was yet another ten years before our pioneers within the Advent Movement recognized “the hour” “of Jesus’ coming…”  That is, in terms of the beginning of each Sabbath at sunset, rather than at the fixed 6 PM hour that theretofore they had been observing.

 

Or, isn’t it true that Exodus 20:8, the Sabbath Commandment, is part and parcel of “the everlasting covenant to His people”?  And weren’t said ten years a “paus…”, as in the quote above?

 

But there were more “pause[s]…” referenced in Ellen’s vision!  Are we, as SDAs, missing something here?  New Light?  What do you think?

 

Remember the two disciples while on their way towards Emmaus!  Do not forget!
