[15] For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; IN RETURNING AND REST SHALL YE BE SAVED; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: AND YE WOULD NOT.

Do you know who the Holy one of Israel is?

This translation makes it clear:

(CLV) Isa 30:15

For thus says my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and in trust shall your mastery come; Yet you are not willing to hear.

I don't like those translations that blot out our Father's name from his word. Yahweh is not the author of confusion.

The handwriting contained in the ordinances

COL.2 [14] Blotting out THE HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;[15] And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.[16] Let no man therefore judge you in MEAT, or in DRINK, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:[17] Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

Jesus blotted out “only” the handwriting of the ordinances.

2 KINGS 17 [36] But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.[37] And the statutes, AND the ordinances, AND the law, AND the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.

And as you can plainly see the commandments and the ordinances are 2 separate things. Jesus blotted only the handwriting which was contained in the ordinances
Hello WW.

What is your opinion of the following?

Do Seventh day Adventists teach Jesus is Michael the Archangel?
Yes, Seventh day Adventists share this belief with Jehovah’s Witnesses. Adventists are very firm in their belief that Jesus is Michael the Archangel. They must take this position because this is what their prophetess, Ellen G. White taught. They also believe that Jesus is God. There is a glaring contradiction here. Hebrews 1:13-14 says that Jesus is not an angel. (exadventist.com)

I will let WailingWall answer for himself but ther is no contradiction as Jesus is the ARCHangel... not an angel.

Joshua 5:14,15
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

This passage is clearly referring to Christ... no created angel would allow Joshua to worship him or b able to consecrate ground as holy. The same pre-incarnate Christ that was in the burning bush... but notice he calls Himself a captain of the Lords host. The archangel is the head of the angels, just as the captain is... just as Christ is.

This is one of three clear Biblical witnesses of Christ being Michael... just as Christ is Emmanuel... just as Christ is Shiloh

Hello ECR.

A very tough topic, the identity of the Christ.
I will let WailingWall answer for himself but ther is no contradiction as Jesus is the ARCHangel... not an angel.
Jesus is not an angel or even an archangel, Jesus is God, Jesus is YHWH.

The Hebrew word for angel is "malach," which means messenger rather than an angel as such.

Jesus was greater than the angels and that includes one or more archangels.

Hebrews 1:13
13 But to which of the angels has He ever said, sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”?

Jesus can appear as an angel or a man, but that does not mean He is an angel.
Joshua 5:14,15
And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
That is YHWH, the ground is holy, you can substitute Lord instead of commander in this passage if you wish.
... no created angel would allow Joshua to worship him or b able to consecrate ground as holy. The same pre-incarnate Christ that was in the burning bush... but notice he calls Himself a captain of the Lords host. The archangel is the head of the angels, just as the captain is... just as Christ is.
Where in the scripture does it say that an archangel, is head of the angels?
This is one of three clear Biblical witnesses of Christ being
Michael... just as Christ is Emmanuel... just as Christ is Shiloh
Absolutely not, this passage (Joshua 5:14-15) does not even mention Michael.

Hello Hark.

Your assuming that YHWH is God the Father.

Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, you Israel: YHWH our God, YHWH is one. You shall love YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Matthew 22:36-38, King James Version (KJV)
36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.

Sound familiar?


Deut.4:39

Acknowledge and take to heart this day that YHWH is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.

Isaiah 44

6 “This is what YHWH says — Israel’s King (Yahshua had not yet been installed as YHWH's proxy King) and Redeemer, YHWH Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.

Isaiah 44

24 “This is what YHWH says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am YHWH, the maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth BY MYSELF..

Isaiah 42

5 This is what YHWH says— He who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:

Isaiah 42

8 I am YHWH: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images."

Isaiah 45

5 I am YHWH, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. 7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, YHWH, do all these things. 12 It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts. 18 For this is what YHWH says— He who created the heavens, He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited— He says: "I am Yahweh, and there is no other."

Isaiah 46

5 "To whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared? 8 "Remember this, fix it in mind, take it to heart, you rebels. 9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.

Deut.4:35

35 You were shown these things so that you might know that YHWH is God; besides him there is no other.

Hello Hark.

You quoted.
Isaiah 44:6
“This is what YHWH says — Israel’s King (Yahshua had not yet been installed as YHWH's proxy King) and Redeemer, YHWH Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.
Who is the first and the last?

Revelation 2:8
And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life'.

Who is the first and the last?

Revelation 1:17-18
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Hello LGW.

Whether or not the fourth commandment is abolished is irrelevant, since Gentiles were never under the law. You may need to ask a Jew about that, after all, they were given that law.

Yeah. Scripture says we were not under the law. That is until Christ.

EPHES. 2 [11] Wherefore remember, that ye being IN TIME PAST GENTILES in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; [12] That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and STRANGERS FROM THE COVENANTS OF PROMISE, having no hope, and without God in the world: [13] BUT NOW IN CHRIST JESUS ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. [14] For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

We {gentiles}were once STRANGERS from Gods covenants of promise, having no hope. BUT NOW in Christ, should we take hold of those covenants, we have hope

ISAIAH 56 [6] Also the sons of THE STRANGER, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one THAT KEEPETH THE SABBATH from polluting it, and TAKETH HOLD OF MY COVENANT; [7] EVEN THEM WILL I BRING TO MY HOLY MOUNTAIN, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for ALL PEOPLE.

Even them (us gentile STRANGERS mentioned in Ephes.2) will He bring to His holy mountain, if we should take hold of His sabbath covenant. Jesus will bring us to the 1000yr period of rest. I just love Day of the Lord scriptures. If everyone would first go see the events of that day {and believe them} there would be no discussions on this subject.

EXODUS 31 [16] Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the SABBATH, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a PERPETUAL COVENANT.

The above scripture points to one of those covenants spoken of in Ephes.2

ROMANS 1 [30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, [31] without understanding, COVENANTBREAKERS, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: [32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

And you can see who Paul lumps in with the covenantbreakers. Not good company

Well Klute. Dont know what to tell ya. The SDAs also believe they are goin to heaven at the 1Cor15 event. They are not. What they believe about the weekly sabbath....they got that right

Who is the first and the last?

A better question is why dont you listen to the 1st and the last?

REV. 22 [13] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, THE FIRST AND THE LAST. [14] 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.

Do His commandments and enter the city. Does that include His sabbath day.

Jeremiah 17:24-25 (KJV)
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
25 Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.

Yup

What is your interpretation for the destination of the resurrected saints?

Not exactly sure what you are asking

EZEK.37

[12] Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I WILL OPEN YOUR GRAVES, AND CAUSE YOU TO COME UP OUT OF YOUR GRAVES, and bring you into the land of Israel.

[13] And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

Theres THE DEAD IN CHRIST who rise first (1Thes.4). The first resurrection. Are they the resurrected Saints you are refering to? But..... there not headin for heaven.

[21] And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:

Its the gathering of Gods people, THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE AT HIS COMING. The gathering will be done in the twinkling of an eye. Not by public transit. And were all headin for the land of Israel as promised in the Word.

[24] And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.

[25] And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.

One shepherd.

[26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will SET MY SANCTUARY IN THE MIDST OF THEM FOR EVERMORE. [27] MY TABERNACLE ALSO SHALL BE WITH THEM: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Verses 26 and 27. “And so shall we ever be with the Lord” {1Thes.4 v17}. Its quite obvious that 1Thes.4 and Ezek.37 are speaking of the same event. No so called rapture to heaven. But the gathering of Gods people to the kingdom

Why did Jesus say before He was ascended that in His Fathers house there are many rooms and that He was going there to prepare a place for us? Where did Jesus go when He ascended?

Just as a FYI, Adventists don't believe we will spend eternity in Heaven (the abiding place of God). The description of the new Jerusalem in Rev 20:10-27 which is currently in Heaven, is our destination after the resurrection where we will dwell with Christ for the 1000 years Satan is bound to this desolate earth for it's Sabbath. After this period of time, we, in the city, descends from Heaven and is forever planted here on this earth and after the lake of fire destroys the wicked, will be made new for us to dwell forever.

To the right hand of the Father IN HEAVEN

JOHN 7 [33] Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.[34] Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and WHERE I AM, THITHER YE CANNOT COME.

We are not allowed to go to heaven (that what Jesus said). Then Jesus said He would come again and that where He is we will be there also

JOHN 7 [33] Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.[34] Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and WHERE I AM, THITHER YE CANNOT COME.

We are not allowed to go to heaven (that what Jesus said). Then Jesus said He would come again and that where He is we will be there also

REVELATION 21 [1] And I saw a NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.[2]And I John saw the holy city, NEW JERUSALEM, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.[3]And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, BEHOLD, THE TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN, AND HE WILL DWELL WITH THEM, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

The many mansions? Its the new Jerusalem that is brought to this earth and where we shall dwell

When in the timeline of events do you read that the new city comes down? Immediately after we have met Jesus in the air? Or at some future time?

When the LAST trumpet is blown. Its a MYSTERY!

1COR.15 [50] Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.[51] Behold, I SHEW YOU A MYSTERY; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, AT THE LAST TRUMP: FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

MYSTERY—last trumpet {it shall sound} – The LAST one! – No more trumpets to be blown – Its the LAST trumpet!

REVELATION 8 [1] And when he had opened THE SEVENTH SEAL, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. [2] And I saw the SEVEN ANGELS which stood before God; and to them were given SEVEN TRUMPETS.

Seventh angel has a trumpet. It shall sound. Its also the LAST one to be heard. Its also AFTER the trib period

REVELATION 10 [7] But in the days of the voice of THE SEVENTH ANGEL, when he shall begin to sound, THE MYSTERY OF GOD SHOULD BE FINISHED, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

MYSTERY SOLVED! The seventh angel begins to sound. This is the LAST trumpet you find being blown in the bible

REVELATION 11 [14] The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. [15]And THE SEVENTH ANGEL SOUNDED; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD ARE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR LORD, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

As i said before, we do not flit off to heaven at the 1Cor.15 event. As the seventh angel sounds the trumpet the kingdoms of this world are to become the kingdoms of the Lord {the new city}and thats where the Lord will bring us after meeting Him in the air. His kingdom
