[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]IN THE MYSTERIOUS SANCTUARY[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]PROCLAIMING THE SABBATH MORE FULLY[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]# 1 OF 5[/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]GOD'S PROPHETIC CODE [/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The evidence used in this study will be taken from the Bible KJV, the Spirit of Prophecy, the perpetual Hebrew calendars, both ancient, and the more recent Hillel II calendar used since the middle of the fourth century C.E., together with other ancient historical records. Evidence will also be used from the US Naval Observatory. This evidence will prove beyond reasonable doubt, that the Sabbath of the fourth commandment has ten times more significance, then has yet been realized or understood by God's people today, possibly, not since the time that Jesus walked the earth, nearly 2000 years ago. The latter rain also, will be shown to be inseparably connected to this new light on the Sabbath.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In order to comprehend and understand this glorious light on the Sabbath, one needs to rediscover and utilize God's entire prophetic code, which Jesus gave to Moses. (and later interpreted, by His fulfillment of the feast days relating to His first advent 2000 years ago) This was all recorded in the Bible for the purpose of aiding God's people in unlocking the precise timing of the events in God's plan of salvation.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This old covenant system was actually a precise and intricate prophecy of the events, and of the exact timing of the events, that are to transpire within the new covenant, which is the heavenly sanctuary system, now in process in Heaven, where Jesus is our High Priest.[/FONT]


The following four quotations from the Spirit of Prophecy draw attention to, as well as, show the profound significance of the old sanctuary system.

“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The time of test is just upon us, for the[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]loud cry of the third angel[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]has already begun[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]in the [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]revelation of the righteousness of Christ,[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]the sin-pardoning Redeemer. This is the beginning of the light of the angel whose glory shall fill the whole earth. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]For it is the work of every one to whom the message of warning has come, to lift up Jesus, to present Him to the world as revealed in types, as shadowed in symbols, ...” [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1SM 362.4[/FONT]
​
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Through the posterity of faithful Abraham, of the line of Shem,[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]a knowledge of Jehovah's beneficent designs [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]was to be preserved for the benefit of future generations.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]From time to time divinely appointed messengers of truth were to be raised up to call attention to the meaning of the sacrificial ceremonies, and especially to the promise of Jehovah concerning the advent of the One toward whom all the ordinances of the sacrificial system pointed. Thus the world was to be kept from universal apostasy. “ [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]PK 687.1[/FONT]
​
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The significance of the Jewish economy is not yet fully comprehended.[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Truths vast and profound are shadowed forth in its rites and symbols.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The gospel is the key that unlocks its mysteries.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] Through a [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]knowledge of the plan of redemption[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]its truths are opened to the understanding.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]We do not half understand the Lord's plan in taking the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, and leading them through the wilderness into Canaan. As we gather up the divine rays shining from the gospel, we shall have a clearer insight into the Jewish economy, and a deeper appreciation of its important truths. Our exploration of truth is yet incomplete. We have gathered up only a few rays of light. Those who are not daily students of the Word will not solve the problems of the Jewish economy. They will not understand the truths taught by the Temple service. The work of God is hindered by a worldly understanding of His great plan. -Letter 156, 1903, pp. 2, 3. (To P. T. Magan, July 27, 1903.) {3MR 259.1} [/FONT]


There are many Spirit of Prophecy statements similar to these four quoted above, some of these are quoted in other parts of this 5-part study.


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leviticus 23 (KJV) is the chapter which specifies the observances of the [/FONT]weekly seventh-day Sabbath, [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]as well as, [/FONT]each of the other annual feast days in the old covenant system[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]. [/FONT]The seven annual feasts are: (1) Passover, (2) Week of Unleavened Bread, (3) Wave Sheaf, (which always occurs on the second day of Unleavened Bread) (4) Day of Pentecost, (5) Feasts of Trumpets, (6) Day of Atonement, (7) Feast of Tabernacles (8 days in this Feast). The first four feasts occur in spring and the three remaining occur in the fall.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE SHADOWY SABBATHS AND THEIR ANTI-TYPE[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Some of these are listed as “Sabbaths”, “holy convocations”, and days of “no servile work”. Others are listed as “holy convocations” and days of “no servile work”. Each has a distinctive meaning. “Sabbath” means “Sabbath”; “holy convocation” means only a “holy convocation”; no “servile work” means only “no servile work”. The “Sabbath” is a “holy convocation”, but a “holy convocation” is not necessarily a “Sabbath”. For example, Wednesday prayer meeting is a “holy convocation”, but it is not a “Sabbath”, and it is not a day of “no servile work”. There are only two feast days with the requirement of absolutely no work whatsoever. These two days are, the seventh-day Sabbath and the Day of Atonement. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]To illustrate this point, let us look at God's specifications for the Day of Pentecost in Leviticus 23: 15-21 KJV. One can clearly see that Pentecost is required to come theday after the seventh Sabbath counting from the Wave Sheaf offering, Wave Sheaf being the second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread; yet Pentecost is specified to be a “holy convocation” and, also, a “day of no servile work”, but, it is not a Sabbath, because it is specified to come on the morrow after a Sabbath,just like the specifications are for the Wave Sheaf offering.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: 16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days;....21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. Leviticus 23: 15-21 KJV.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]These Sabbaths, 8 of which are mentioned in the verses above (Lev. 23:15-21), are all 'shadowy” Sabbaths, described in Colossians 2: 16, 17, as … “shadows of things to come” KJV. They follow their own seven-day cycle beginning on the new moon of the first and the seventh month only, of the sacred year. The only purpose for these “shadowy” Sabbaths within the feast days, which are besides the seventh-day Sabbath, (Lev. 23:37, 38, Col 2:16) is to show exactly the days of the week the feast days will ultimately be fulfilled on, in relation to the weekly seventh-day Sabbath.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]These “shadowy” Sabbaths are sometimes referred to as, “ceremonial Sabbaths”, but they, nor their purpose are understood, as they must be. These “shadowy Sabbaths” (Colossians 2: 16, 17 KJV)are just that, shadows of seventh-day Sabbaths to come. “Shadowy Sabbaths” are prophecies of future seventh-day Sabbaths. Each type in the old sanctuary system mentioned in Leviticus 23-25 has an anti-type . These Sabbaths can, truly, be called, the “type” and seventh-day Sabbaths the “anti-type”. The inspired statement below clearly shows God's interpretation of Colossians 2:16, giving us more evidence, in the process of unraveling the prophetic code.[/FONT]
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]One day as Elder Corliss stepped out of a train, the guard [conductor] stopped him with the request that he explain Colossians 2:16. They stopped, and as the crowd rushed by, the explanation was given, and from Leviticus 23:37, 38 [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]it was shown that there were sabbaths besides the Sabbath of the Lord.”[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] RH, January 7, 1896 par. 14, by E.G. White.[/FONT]


​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]12 ANNUAL SHADOWY SABBATHS[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ALL CALCULATED FROM THE NEW MOON[/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]There are exactly 12 annual (shadowy) Sabbaths listed in Leviticus 23-25 KJV, with 8 of these outlined within the spring feasts, and calculated from the first new moon after the spring equinox, according to the ancient Hebrew calendar, and the remaining 4 within the fall feasts, calculated from the seventhnew moon, the month of the harvest feasts.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]These “shadowy Sabbaths” are, in verity, the prophetic code one must use to understand the precise timing of the plan which God gave to Moses, and it is this same code, that the Messiah revealed to His disciples at His first advent, that unlocks for future generations the timing of the types relating to His second advent. This code and its implications will be the main focus of this 5 part study on the “Glorious Sabbath in the Mysterious Sanctuary”.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]God designed the entire Jewish economy, in such a way that both the events of the great plan of salvation, and the exact timing of these events were typified in this ritual round of ceremonies, which took a period of fifty years to complete, and then, began all over again. Within this ritual system there is a prophetic code which can easily be deciphered with the aid of the Holy Spirit, by any sincere and devoted Bible student. But one must pay close attention to all the intricate details of these rituals, and also use a literal translation like the King James version of the Holy Bible, or Young's Literal Translation of the Bible. The following list contains some of these details.[/FONT]




[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE HOLY SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH ON THE NEW MOON[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]INTERPRETS GOD'S MYSTERIOUS PROPHETIC CODE[/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1. All the feast days in the old sanctuary system were scheduled from the new moon of the first month of the sacred year, (the beginning of which was“corresponding to the last of March and the beginning of April.” PP . 537.)[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]2. Whenever the new moon, used to designate the timing of the feast days, (which would be the first and the seventh new moon, beginning the first and the seventh month of the sacred year), falls on a seventh-day Sabbath, then all the “shadowy” Sabbaths (ceremonial Sabbaths)which are calculated from that new moon, also, fall on seventh-day-Sabbaths KJV. This is God's mysterious code. It was this prophetic code that Jesus revealed to His disciples 2000 years ago, which was later lost during the dark ages, and is only now being rediscovered by God's people today.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This is apparently the reason God links these two significant days together, the seventh-day Sabbath and the new moon, in the new heaven and the new earth which He will create. In combination they are the “key”, that unlocks the prophecies of Moses, as revealed in the old covenant system of Hebrew worship.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Isaiah 66:22-24.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: Rev. 12:1 KJV.[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Incidentally there are exactly twelve annual shadowy Sabbathslisted in the Bible.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]3. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The spring feast days from Passover to Pentecost number 52 days, according to the Bible evidence (Leviticus 23:5-16 KJV), and the main Hebrew calendars in use today. (There is no variation in the count of the days, or the manner of observance from year to year) The ceremonies within the spring feast days were observed unvaried every year, this indicates that there was no specially designated year, when these spring feast days would meet their fulfillment from the books of Moses. (The prophet Daniel, however, in Daniel 9:27says it was to occur in the midst of the 70th week of years.) This, however, was not the case for the fall feast days.[/FONT]

4.
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The fall feast days, 22 literal days, had extra special ceremonies that where performed only in the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. Clearly, indicating that their main fulfillment would be in these two special years. Some of the fall feast days had extra special ceremonies in the Sabbatical year only (the year of release). The law of God was read to all, men, women, children, and the stranger during the days of the Feast of Tabernacles Deuteronomy 31:10-16. This practice was reserved just for the Sabbatical year (the year of release).[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Deuteronomy 31:10-13 KJV And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of [every] seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that [is] within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: And [that] their children, which have not known [any thing], may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.)[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]5. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The Day of Atonement also, had extra special significance in the Sabbatical year (year of release), when certain classes of Hebrew slaves were set free (Deuteronomy 15:1, 12). This evidence shows that a fulfillment of the Day of Atonement can be expected to take place in a Sabbath year. No doubt, this is the Sabbatical year that precedes the year of Jubilee. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The reason for this is that there are 4 “shadowy” Sabbaths that must all come on seventh-day Sabbaths in their fulfillment, and this always happens in two consecutive years, Remember the year before the Jubilee year is always a Sabbatical year. [/FONT]

6.
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]There is onlyone feast day that had extra special significance, in both, the Sabbatical year and in the year of Jubilee,and that fall feast day is the Day of Atonement.In the Sabbatical year a certain class of Hebrew slaves were set free (Deuteronomy 15:1, 12. PP 532).[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The Day of Atonement has special significance in its fulfillment in the Sabbatical year, but its prime fulfillment was reserved for the commencement of the Jubilee.[/FONT]

7.
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]All other slaves waited for the Jubilee trumpet to sound on the Day of Atonement of the Jubilee year. Leviticus. 25:9,10, PP 534. The Jubilee trumpet was blown only on that special Holy day, when all slaves where set free from slavery.( So it can now be clearly seen that Jesus designed the Day of Atonement to come on the tenth day of the month, because only then, are all four of the “shadowy Sabbaths within the fall feast days, positioned to come on seventh-day Sabbaths in these two consecutive years, the very years when they have their extra special significance. Isn't that amazing![/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]What a holy loving mastermind is our Lord and Savior, that He would design and implement such a precise and intricate plan for the salvation of man, and that He would then share all the details of this glorious plan with His created beings, giving them insight into the [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]mysteries of the deep things of God.[/FONT]

THE GLORIOUS SABBATH
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]IN THE MYSTERIOUS SANCTUARY[/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]PROCLAIMING THE SABBATH MORE FULLY[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]# 2 OF 5 [/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE ANCIENT HEBREW CALENDAR, AND HILLEL II[/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The main Orthodox Jewish calendar in use today, Hillel II, abides by the exact reckoning of 52 and 22 days for the seven annual feasts. This principle is maintained from the ancient Hebrew calendar used in Old Testament times until the middle of the fourth century C.E. when the Hillel II calendar was adopted. The differences between the ancient Hebrew calendar and the Hillel II calendar are as follows.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The ancient Hebrew calendar begins the new moon of the first month after the spring equinox (in order to have ripe barley for the Wave Sheaf offering), while the Hillel II calendar begins the first month with the new moon nearest the spring equinox.[/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]2. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Since the time of the crucifixion of the Messiah in 31 C.E. there has never been a Friday Passover scheduled for the spring feast days. According to the Hillel II calendar, the Passover will always be postponed or advanced a day if the first new moon of the sacred year ever occurs on a seventh-day Sabbath.[/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]3. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]As was the practice in the ancient Hebrew calendar, the Jews today (for the fall feast days only), will still postpone or advance a day if the new moon can be on a seventh-day Sabbath, sometimes going by an invisible new moon which would be near the time of conjunction, and sometimes going by the first sighting, as can be seen in Hillel II calendar today (see Hebcal).[/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Since there was no ripe barley for the Wave Sheaf when using the Hillel II calendar in 1844, early Adventists calculated the feasts days by using the ancient Hebrew reckoning, this caused the Day of Atonement to fall on Tuesday October 22 in 1844, instead of Monday, September 23. There must be ripe barley for the Wave Sheaf offering on the 16th day of the first Hebrew month. [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This is the reason the ancient Hebrew calendar should be used today. Actually, both of these calendars agree about half of the time for the fall feast days, and they are in agreement on the four perfect Sabbath alignments within the fall feasts in the 49thand 50thyears that occur now in our time. [/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]A DETAILED RECAP OF THE SHADOWY SABBATHS[/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Many have wrongly classified all seven of the annual feasts (1) Passover, (2) Week of Unleavened Bread, (3) Wave Sheaf (4) Day of Pentecost, (5) Feasts of Trumpets, (6) Day of Atonement, (7) Feast of Tabernacles as “shadowy Sabbaths”, rather than accepting the plainly illustrated teachings of our Lord to Moses, where Jesus actually specifies precisely, which feast days are the “shadowy Sabbaths”, and which are not.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]However, one must use a literal translation, like the KJV of the Bible. Satan has created many different versions of the Bible to confuse the minds of men, and to keep them from understanding the glorious plan that God has revealed through these “shadowy” Sabbaths.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Many false under Shepherds behind the pulpits in the Churches of today exalt their own ideas (which in many cases are deliberate deception, but in some cases are just plain ignorance, the blind leading the blind) above the plain Holy Word of God by changing the timing of the “shadowy” Sabbaths, so that no one can make rhyme or reason out of what they are meant to teach. All must search the Scriptures for themselves or be deceived by Satan and his agents.[/FONT]

​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif](A)[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The day after Passover, the 15thday which is the first day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread the day before Wave Sheaf—Wave Sheaf always occurred on the 16thday which was the second day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread (and the third day from Passover,) this makes the first day of the 7 days of Unleavened Bread a Sabbath. The result of this, is that the Wave Sheaf always occurs on the morrow after the Sabbath (shadowy Sabbath).[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leviticus 23:11- And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Jesus taught Moses and later, His disciples the prophecy that Passover occurs a day before a Sabbath and that the Wave Sheaf offering occurs on the third day from Passover, “on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.” Leviticus 23:11 KJV. To His disciples He said, “Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.” Luke 24:46 KJV Jesus was the first fruits and His resurrection took place on the very day that the Wave Sheaf offering was waved before the Lord.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Whenever the “shadowy” Sabbath comes on the seventh-day Sabbath, it is termed an “high day”. In 31 C.E., the day after Passover was a seventh-day Sabbath. “The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day, (for that Sabbath day was an high day,)” John 19:31 KJV[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif](B) [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The day after the 7thday of Unleavened Bread, which is the first Sabbath in the seven Sabbath count to the day before the Day of Pentecost. This is clearly seen in the following text. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leviticus 23:15, 16- And ye shall count unto youfrom the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete: Even unto themorrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days; [/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]From this evidence, we can see that Passover came one day before a “shadowy” Sabbath, Wave Sheaf came one day after a “shadowy” Sabbath, the seventh day of Unleavened Bread came one day before a shadowy Sabbathand the Day of Pentecost came one day after a shadowy Sabbath.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]From Jesus' teaching to Moses in Leviticus, the Day of Pentecost, the last spring feast, comes on the morrow after the seventh “shadowy” Sabbath. In 31 C.E. this feast day met fulfillment on the appointed day, on the morrow after the seventh “shadowy” Sabbath, and also a morrow after a seventh-day Sabbath that year. This event is historically recognized as occurring on a Sunday.[/FONT]
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.” Act 2:1, 2 KJV[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In the fulfillment of the spring feasts, in the year of Jesus' crucifixion, this is exactly how the “shadowy” Sabbaths fell within the weekly cycle of days, all of them came on seventh-day-Sabbaths that year.[/FONT]
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]These types were fulfilled, not only as to the event, but as to the time. On the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, the very day and month on which, for fifteen long centuries, the passover lamb had been slain, Christ, having eaten the passover with his disciples, instituted that feast which was to commemorate his own death as “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” That same night he was taken by wicked hands, to be crucified and slain. And as the antitype of the wave-sheaf, our Lord was raised from the dead on the third day, “the first-fruits of them that slept,” [1 Corinthians 15:20.] a sample of all the resurrected just, whose “vile body” shall be changed, and “fashioned like unto his glorious body.” [Philippians 3:21.] GC88 399.[/FONT]

​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The surface reader will assume that the fall feast days cannot all come on seventh-day Sabbaths because the Day of Atonement is on the 10th day of the month, the honest reply can be made, that it is only because it comes on the 10th day that it can come on the seventh-day Sabbath.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]There are many mysteries revealed in the four “shadowy” Sabbaths of the fall feasts, and in order to unlock their prophetic significance, one needs to search out other pieces of evidence directly related to these Sabbaths, which are also revealed in the Holy Scriptures.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]One of these mysteries is that the Day of Atonement occurs on the 10th day of the month, if it occurred on any other day it could not fulfill its prophetic Sabbath role in the Jubilee year, which is the year of its prime fulfillment. Always remember the prime fulfillmentof the Day of Atonement is in the year of Jubilee. Leviticus 25:8-10.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]2. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Another mystery of the fall feasts is that the Feast of Tabernacles has its prime fulfillment only in the Sabbatical year. Deuteronomy 31:10-16.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]3.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The year just before the year of Jubilee is a Sabbatical year, so here is the answer as to why the Day of Atonement falls on the 10th day. For it is only then, that all the shadowy Sabbaths in the fall feast days can be fulfilled on seventh-day Sabbaths, in the year of their prime fulfillment's. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Whenever the three “shadowy Sabbaths” in the fall feast days fall on the seventh-day Sabbath, the fourth “shadowy Sabbath”, the Day of Atonement always falls on the seventh-day Sabbath, the very next year. To repeat again, in this way all of the “shadowy” Sabbaths in the fall feast days, actually occur on seventh-day Sabbaths in the year of their prime fulfillmentthe 49th and 50th years (the Sabbatical year and the year of Jubilee.) [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]What an amazing phenomena to behold, an obvious illustration of the genius ability of the author and designer, who is none other then, our Lord Jesus Christ. Here one can see, that this could only have been designed by a mastermind.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE 7 DIFFERENT KINDS OF SABBATHS[/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The first two of these Sabbaths have been discussed earlier, the seventh-day Sabbath and the “shadowy” (ceremonial) Sabbaths. With the remaining five, there are a total of 7 different kinds of Sabbaths brought to view in God's plan of salvation. The following statement shows us the actual meaning of the number 7.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]When all 7 of the different kinds of SABBATHS line up at one place in time, the evidence in this five part study will show that we will then have arrived at the end of time, THE LAST GREAT SABBATH JUBILEE.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]From the time of the Messiah to our time, there have been no perfect alignments of the “shadowy Sabbaths (with seventh-day Sabbaths) in the fall feast days,[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]in the seventh Sabbatical and Jubilee years [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif](according to Hebcal (Hillel II, the perpetual Hebrew calendar.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif])[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]But now at the end of the six thousand years we see four distinct perfect alignments in these specific years, all in our time, and then there are no more alignments of the “shadowy” Sabbaths (with seventh-day Sabbaths) in the fall feast days in the Sabbatical and Jubilee years, even though one looks a thousand years in the future.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This amazing data was obtained from the perpetual Hebrew Calendar (hebcal)[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], the Hebrew Calendar in use by the majority of the Jewish people today.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Amazingly, we see that both the [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]ancient Hebrew calendar and the Hillel II[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]calender [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]perfectly agree in the years of these four rare alignments.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The ancient Hebrew calendar, in use during the time of Christ was used until the middle of the fourth century C.E. (except that from the time of Jesus crucifixion till today, there has never been a seventh-day Sabbath allowed on the new moon of the first month), in consequence there has never been a Friday Passover since the crucifixion till today.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In the middle of the fourth century C.E., the Hillel II calendar was adopted. However, some classes of Jews continue using the ancient Hebrew calendar today.[/FONT]




[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE EXPLANATION OF THE SEVEN DIFFERENT KINDS OF SABBATHS: [/FONT]​

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The seventh-day Sabbath is the very hub from which all of the other types of Sabbaths emanate and receive their glory. The seventh-day Sabbath is calculated from the cycle of the sun alone, whereas, all the other types of Sabbaths are calculated from the cycle of the moon, aided by the sun. Therefore, the seventh-day Sabbath shines the brightest of them all, just as the sun shines brighter than the moon.[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]2.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The (shadowy)Sabbaths are calculated from the new moon, and occur in an exact seven-day sequence, as does the seventh-day Sabbath. All shadowy Sabbaths are calculated from only two of the new moons of the sacred year, the first new moon, and the seventh or last new moon, even though some of the shadowy Sabbaths extend into the third month of the sacred year. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]3.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The seven shadowy Sabbaths, an exact week of shadowy Sabbaths, are to be counted from the day of the Wave Sheaf offering and reach to the 49th day. The 50th day, the day after the seventh shadowy Sabbath, is the Feast of Pentecost. The Day of Pentecost is the first day after a shadowy Sabbath, similar to the first day in the weekly cycle. This 50-day period is a miniature replication of the Jubilee cycle of years, showing that the Jubilee immediately follows the seven Sabbath years. All the shadowy Sabbaths are designed to prophesy exactly where the seventh-day Sabbaths would be, at the time when the feast days would meet their fulfillment in the new covenant. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]4.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The seventh month is the Sabbath month. The Jewish sacred year has only seven months in which all the annual feasts (those appointed by God) occur. In the seventh month which begins on the seventh new moon of the sacred year, the closing events of the plan of redemption are typified in 22 literal days. Lev. 23:24[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]5.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Like the days of the week, the years are also counted in a cycle of seven, a week of years, with the seventh year being the Sabbath year. The cycle of seven in God's calendar, whether with days or years or weeks of years, was never interrupted or disturbed. In the seventh year the land rested, as a reminder of the seventh millennium in which the earth will rest. It is also called a “year of release”Deuteronomy 15:1, since certain Hebrew slaves were set free in the Sabbath year, (and this took place on the Day of Atonement.) All other slaves were released in the “great year of release”, the Jubilee. And as in the Sabbatical year, this great release also took place on the Day of Atonement. LEV. 25:1-7 [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]6.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The week of Sabbath years, 7 X 7 years, or 49 years, was to illustrate that the Jubilee year was to occur immediately after the seventh Sabbatical year. The Jubilee was the first year in a new beginning, in a new set of seven years. The 7 X 7 Sabbaths is a reminder that after the alignment of ALL 7 of the different kinds of Sabbaths in one area of time, the end will come.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]7.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The Sabbath millennium will begin immediately after the sixth millennium is completed. “...one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”2 Peter 3:8. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In the Spirit of Prophecy there are more than a dozen references to the six thousand years being the time allotted for the working of Satan in the demonstration of sin. The seventh millennium begins when all of these separate and distinct Sabbaths are aligned at the time of the end. Then will begin the seventh millennium, the great Sabbath rest for this earth. [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]We now conclude part two of this five part study on “THE GLORIOUS SABBATH IN THE MYSTERIOUS SANCTUARY” with the following inspired statement.[/FONT]


“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I saw that [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]we sensed and realized but little of the importance of the Sabbath, to what we yet should realize and know of its importance and glory.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] I saw we knew not what it was yet to ride upon the high places of the earth and to be fed with the heritage of Jacob. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]But when the refreshing and latter rain shall come from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power,[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] we shall know what it is to be fed with the heritage of Jacob and ride upon the high places of the earth. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Then shall we see the Sabbath more in its importance and glory. “But we shall not see it in all its glory and importance until the covenant of peace is made with us at the voice of God, and[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] the pearly gates of the New Jerusalem are thrown open and swing back on their glittering hinges, and the glad and joyful voice of the lovely Jesus is heard richer than any music that ever fell on mortal ear bidding us enter.”[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]--Letter 3, 1851. 3SM 388.2[/FONT]

Thank you, Visionary. My post did not appear in the format of my document,I'm not sure why. I'll try to repost later as the dates of the years of the alignments were all crammed into one block making it almost impossible to decipher what I'm trying to illustrate. I just removed it when I saw the way it posted.

THE GLORIOUS SABBATH
IN THE MYSTERIOUS SANCTUARY​

PROCLAIMING THE SABBATH MORE FULLY
# 3 OF 5 ​


LOCATING THE ANCIENT BIBLE JUBILEE​

The prophecies of Moses are the first written record showing the significance of the Jubilee. The ancient Bible Jubilee year is easily located in the Bible and in other ancient historical Hebrew records.

“In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” 2 Corinthians 13:1

The testimony of all three witnesses and more will be given to pinpoint the Jubilee year.

The Jubilee years were prophetic of two of the great events in the plan of redemption; the first day of Christ's public ministry at His first advent, and, also, “the day of vengeance of our God”, just before the second advent, see (Isaiah 61:1,2). According to the prophecy which God gave to Moses in Leviticus 23 and 25, the Jubilee (in fulfillment) must be ushered in on a Day of Atonement and that day must be a seventh-day Sabbath. (The Jubilee calendar can be seen on the last page of this study).

This is precisely how Jesus fulfilled the first part of the Jubilee prophecy. In the proclamation of the Jubilee on the Day of Atonement, in the synagogue on the seventh-day Sabbath, Jesus stopped in the middle of the sentence, omitting the phrase, “and the day of vengeance of our God,” which was the last part of the same sentence that He was reading from the Jubilee prophecy of Isaiah 61. He closed the book and then proclaimed,

“This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” Luke 4:21

“... as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” Luke 4:16-21

“The spirit of the Lord GOD [is] upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD,...” Isaiah 61:1,2

The Bible cross-reference to the text in Luke is Isaiah 61:1, 2, and then, from Isaiah, the reference is to Leviticus 25, the great Jubilee prophecy. Jesus did not complete the sentence He was reading from Isaiah 61, as that portion of the Jubilee prophecy did not apply to His first advent. The part of the sentence that He omitted applies to the “day of vengeance of our God:” which will be fulfilled just before He returns to earth for the second time.

This Jubilee, “the day of vengeance of our God,” was illustrated by the experience of Elijah, the prophet, in his three and one-half year ministry culminating on Mt. Carmel where Elijah dealt with the priests of Baal, who had led God's people into apostasy. This was just before the time of the appearance of the small cloud, the size of a man's hand, representing the second coming of Jesus.


“And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand.” 1 Kings 18:44.
“Soon there appears in the east a small black cloud, about half the size of a man's hand. It is the cloud which surrounds the Saviour, and which seems in the distance to be shrouded in darkness. The people of God know this to be the sign of the Son of man.” GC 640 E.G. White


In the ancient Hebrew writings from the time of Elijah, there is recorded an amazing statement regarding the location of the Jubilee. (an actual statement made by Elijah)


“Elijah told Judah, the brother of Sala Hasida, 'The world will endure not less than 85 Jubilees, and on the last Jubilee the Son of David will come.” (Sanh.97b) from the book, "Sabbatical Year and Jubilee", p. 581-582 (Jewish Synagogue Library)


(No one knows how long the earth endured from the creation of the world until man fell into sin, but it couldn't have been much over the time of two Jubilees (a period of 98 years), as Adam's third son was born when Adam was one hundred and thirty years old (Genesis 5:3) and Abel had just been killed by Cain. From the entrance of sin until 27 C.E. when Jesus started His public ministry, could have been about 4067 years or 83 Jubilee cycles, which consequently would have been 85 Jubilee's after creation, fitting exactly the prophecy of Elijah)

In these same ancient Hebrew writings is stated,

“The sages ... reckoned the historical order and the end of time by Sabbatical Years and Jubilees.” from the book, Sabbatical Year and Jubilee, p. 581 (Jewish Synagogue Library)

“Israel counted 17 Jubilees from the time they entered the land to the time they left it” (Ar. 12b). from the book, Sabbatical Year and Jubilee, p. 581 (Jewish Synagogue Library)

Josephus, the first century Jewish historian, in the book “JOSEPHUS COMPLETE WORKS”, p. 706, begins his list of the ancient Jubilee years with the year, “1787 B.C.E.” and ends the list with his last recorded Jubilee year of “27 C.E.”.

Each Jubilee cycle is forty-nine years in sequence, the Jubile year is the 50th year, but it was also the first year in the next set of 49 years. His placement agrees perfectly with the proclamation Jesus made announcing the Jubilee (Luke 4:16-21). This completely harmonizes with the date of 27 A.D. for this event given by the prophet, E.G. White, recorded in Prophets and Kings, p. 698.


“In A.D. 27, Jesus at His baptism received the anointing of the Holy Spirit and soon afterward began His ministry. Then the message was proclaimed, "The time is fulfilled." Mark 1:15. PK 698 E.G. White


Regarding the last Jubilee, “the day of vengeance of our God”, the prophet E.G. White describes the occurrence of this great Jubilee in Early Writings, p. 285. Please note that this is not the time of the second coming of Jesus, which takes place some number of days after this time. The number of days is unknown until the Father speaks the day and the hour of Jesus' second coming at the moment the Jubilee commences.


“And as God spoke the day and hour of Jesus' coming, [Ezekiel 12:25. Mark 13:32.] and delivered the everlasting covenant to His people, [Ezekiel 20:37. Hebrews 12:22-25.] He spoke one sentence, and then paused, while the words were rolling through the earth! [Jeremiah 25:30, 31.] The Israel of God stood with their eyes fixed upwards, listening to the words as they came from the mouth of Jehovah, and rolled through the earth like peals of loudest thunder! It was awfully solemn. At the end of every sentence, the saints shouted, Glory! Hallelujah! Their countenances were lighted up with the glory of God; and they shone with the glory as Moses' face did when he came down from Sinai. The wicked could not look on them, for the glory. [Song of Solomon 5:1-5.] And when the never ending blessing was pronounced on those who had honored God, in keeping His Sabbath holy, there was a mighty shout of victory over the Beast, and over his Image.
Then commenced the jubilee, when the land should rest. I saw the pious slave rise in triumph and victory, and shake off the chains that bound him, while his wicked master was in confusion, and knew not what to do; for the wicked could not understand the words of the voice of God. [Daniel 12:10.] Soon appeared the great white cloud. Revelation 14:14.” Early Writings, p. 285 E.G. White



JUBILEE HYMNS
IN EARLY SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST HYMNALS​

In early Adventism, in hymnals like the “Christ in Song”, there are many songs about the soon anticipated Sabbatical and Jubilee years, many of these, however were omitted in subsequent hymnals.

The following hymn is one of these hymns, taken from one of these hymnals.


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE YEAR OF JUBILEE[/FONT]​



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1. “Oh, glory to God! It is coming again, 'Tis the glad jubilee of the children of men;[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Chorus: Shout with the voice of triumph, Soon shall the saints be free (be free); [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Glory to the Lord! Hallelujah! Hasten the jubilee!”[/FONT]

GOD'S ORIGINAL JUBILEE CALENDAR​

THE SABBATH ALIGNMENTS IN THE FALL FEASTS IN THE 49TH AND 50TH YEARS

JOSEPHUS, FIRST CENTURY JEWISH HISTORIAN LISTS C.E. 27 AS A JUBILEE YEAR

HILLEL I calendar was used from Moses' time to C.E. 354. The HILLEL I calendar uses all the principles for calculation that God gave to Moses to designate the times and the seasons. Whenever the HILLEL II calendar (the Jewish calendar in use today) begins the year with the new moon after the spring equinox, then both calendars agree on the timing of the fall feasts.


The Pharisee and the Sadducee methods of scheduling the feasts differed; but, both agreed at the time Jesus fulfilled the Feast days relating to His first coming. The two calendars, HILLEL I (HI) , & HILLEL II (HII) are in agreement for the four rare alignments of the fall feasts.


DATA SHOWN BELOW TAKEN FROM “HEBCAL” (HILLEL II) PERPETUAL HEBREW CALENDAR


HILLEL I (HI) begins the Sacred Year with the first new moon AFTER the spring equinox


HILLEL II (HII) begins the Sacred Year with the first new moon NEAREST the spring equinox


OVER 300 YEARS WERE EXTRACTED FROM JEWISH RECKONING OF TIME FOLLOWING THE FULFILLMENT OF ELIJAH'S PROPHECY THAT MESSIAH WOULD APPEAR ON THE 85TH JUBILEE, WHICH WAS IN THE YEAR 27 C.E. AND NO FRIDAY PASSOVER SINCE 31 C.E. CAN BE FOUND IN THE HILLEL II CALENDAR.



* HIGH SABBATHS MEAN THAT IN THE 49TH AND 50TH YEARS ALL 4 SABBATHS ALIGN ON HOLY SABBATHS


* J.Y. MEANS ONLY THE JUBILEE YEAR IS CALCULATED with the new moon AFTER THE SPRING EQUINOX


* S.Y. MEANS ONLY THE SABBATICAL YEAR IS CALCULATED with the new moon AFTER THE SPRING EQUINOX

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In view of the specific detailed requirements of the fall feast days (“the types relating to the second advent “) which Jesus taught to Moses in Leviticus 23,-25 and in Deuteronomy 16, and 31, an in-depth examination of the Advent Movement culminating in the “Midnight Cry” of 1844, must be made, specifically, in light of the requirements for the Sabbatical and the Jubilee Years.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif](We must always remember that William Miller was shown two caskets full of the same jewels, the first one given to him, was as bright as the sun, wile the second was much larger and ten times brighter then the sun. This 5 part study is an invitation to take a look inside the second casket of William Miller's dream, and see what he seen when he looked into this second casket, which was prepared by the other man, who entered the room. Read the entire dream in Early Writings, p.81-83, which is included at the end of this study # 4 of 5 .)[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This “Midnight Cry”, “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh ! Go ye out to meet Him,” focused on only one of the fall feast days, the Day of Atonement, Tuesday, October22, 1844, as the time of the return of Jesus to this earth. We must never forget that this “Midnight Cry” is referred to by E.G. White, in “A Word To The Little Flock”, p.14 and in Christian Experience and Teachings of E.G. White, p.57,58, as the “bright light” at the first end of the path that lightens the way the saints must travel until the time that they hear the voice of God giving them the actual day and hour of Jesus' coming.[/FONT]


“ [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]It was not long after the passing of the time, in 1844, that my [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]first vision was given me.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I was visiting Mrs. Haines at Portland, a dear sister in Christ, whose heart was knit with mine; five of us, all women, were kneeling quietly at the family altar. While we were praying, the power of God came upon me as I had never felt it before. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I seemed to be surrounded with light, and to be rising higher and higher from the earth. I turned to look for the advent people in the world, but could not find them, when a voice said to me, "Look again, and look a little higher." At this, I raised my eyes, and saw a straight and narrow path, cast up high above the world. On this path the advent people were traveling to the city which was at the farther end of the path. They had a bright light set up behind them at the beginning of the path, which an angel told me was the "midnight cry."[See Matthew 25:6.] This light shone all along the path, and gave light for their feet, so that they might not stumble. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]If they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, who was just before them, leading them to the city, they were safe. But soon some grew weary, and said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage them by raising His glorious right arm, and from His arm came a light which waved over the advent band,and they shouted "Alleluia!" Others rashly denied the light behind them, and said that it was not God that had led them out so far. The light behind them went out, leaving their feet in perfect darkness, and they stumbled and lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below. Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus' coming.” Christian Experience and Teachings of E.G. White, p. 57, 58 (also in Early Writings, p.14, 15.)[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]E.G. White's first vision was also printed in the Day Star in which she included some additional details not found in her statement above. Therefore, both statements are quoted.[/FONT]


“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]While praying at the family altar the Holy Ghost fell on me and I seemed to be rising higher and higher, far above the dark world. I turned to look for the Advent people in the world, but could not find[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]them, when a voice said to me, Look again, and look a little higher. At this, I raised my eyes and see a strait and narrow path, cast up high above the world. On this path the Advent people were traveling to the City, which was at the farther end of the path. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]They had a [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]bright light[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]set up [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]behind them at the first end of the path[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], which an angel told me was the Midnight Cry. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This light shone all along the path and gave light for their feet[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]so they might not stumble.

[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Then Jesus would encourage them by raising his glorious right arm, and from his arm came a [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]glorious light which waved over the Advent band,[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]and they shouted, Hallelujah! [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Others rashly denied the light behind them[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], and said that it was not [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]God that had led them[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]out so far. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The light behind them went out which left their feet in perfect darkness,[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]and they stumbled and got their eyes off the mark and lost sight of Jesus, and fell off the path down in the dark and wicked world below. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]It was just as impossible for them to get on the path again & go to the City, as all the wicked world which God had rejected.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]They fell all the way along the path one after another, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]until we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus' coming.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The living saints, 144,000, in number, know and understand the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder & an[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]earthquake. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]When God spake the time, he poured on us the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light up and shine with the [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]glory of God as Moses did[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]when he came down from Mount Sinai,[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif](Exodus 34:30-34.)” DS, January 24, 1846 par. 1 by E.G. White.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Please note, again, that the “Midnight Cry,” “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him,” in 1844, is the “bright light” at the beginning of the path, that God's people travel to the Holy City. Referring to the time just before the second coming of Jesus, E.G. White says, “My mind was carried to the future, when the signal will be given, “Behold the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him.” This statement is found in the RH, February 11, 1896 par. 6.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]These statements clearly show that the “Midnight Cry,” pointing to the Day of Atonement on Tuesday, October 22, 1844, has a reapplication, and that it is a prophecy, a forerunner, if you will, of the future final call, when the parable of the ten virgins is repeated.[/FONT]

“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This parable has been and [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]will be fulfilled to the very letter,[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] for it has a special application to this time,...”[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, August 19, 1890, E.G. White.[/FONT]
​
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.”[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Ecclesiastes 3:15.[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In light of this dual application of the “Midnight Cry,” “Behold, the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him,” there are other aspects of the 1844 movement to which this would also apply. These are prophetic of future events, as well, one of them being the reference to the judgment on the Day of Atonement, “the judgment sat and the books were opened.” In the scripture study of E.G. White's writings on this text, we see that approximately 20% of her statements refer to the Day of Atonement, Tuesday, October 22, 1844, while 80% refer to the future pee-advent judgment, “when the judgment shall sit, and the books shall be opened.”[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Of this 80 %, two specific future judgments are brought to view that apply especially to God's people. The first of these two would involve the judgment of the Church, while the second would concern the individuals living at the time of the judgment of the living would begin. A few statements by E.G. White will be given to support this fact.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE JUDGMENT OF THE CHURCH:[/FONT][/FONT]​

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]
“ [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In the balances of the sanctuary the Seventh-day Adventist church is to be weighed.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]She will be judged [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]by the privileges and advantages that she has had. If her spiritual experience does not correspond to the advantages that Christ, at infinite cost, has bestowed on her, if the blessings conferred have not qualified her to do the work entrusted to her, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]on her will be pronounced the sentence: "Found wanting." By the light bestowed, the opportunities given, will she be judged.”[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]8 Testimonies p. 247.[/FONT]
​
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The church will be weighted in the balances of the sanctuary[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]. If her moral character and spiritual state do not correspond with the benefits and blessings God has conferred upon her, she will be found wanting.” [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]5 Testimonies, 83.[/FONT]





​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE JUDGMENT OF THE LIVING INDIVIDUAL:[/FONT]​

​
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]When the judgment shall sit, and the books shall be opened, and every man shall be judged according to the things written in the books[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]then the tables of stone, hidden by God until that day,[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] will be [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]presented before the world as the standard of righteousness[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], Then men and women will see that the [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]prerequisite [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]of their salvation is obedience to the perfect law of God, None will find excuse for sin. By the righteous principles of that law, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]men will receive their sentence of life or of death.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]” [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, January 28, 1909, E.G. White,[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This is strong evidence that the future judgment of the living, will, as in 1844, commence on a Day of Atonement, when the sanctuary will be cleansed, at the end of the 2300-day prophecy, in literal time. [/FONT]
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Because he hath appointed a day in the which he will judge the world....” Acts 17:31.[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]From the statement by E.G. White that prophetic time ended in 1844, there will never again be a day for a year interpretation of Bible prophecy. The final application of the 2300 day prophecy, reaching to the time when the sanctuary will be cleansed for the living, will be just that, 2300 literal days, and these days will be counted from a future going forth of a commandment to restore and build Jerusalem. [/FONT]
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I saw that they were correct in their reckoning of the prophetic periods; prophetic time closed in 1844,” Early Writings, p. 243.[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The three angels' messages were given in relation to the 1840-1844 movement with the first angel's message pointing to the hour of God's judgment on the Day of Atonement, October 22, 1844, the end of the 2300 day prophecy of Daniel 8:14, by counting a day for a year from the going forth of the “commandment to restore and build Jerusalem” issued by Artaxerxes in 457 B.C.E. [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In light of the following statements, when the first angel's message is repeated, it will again focus attention on a Day of Atonement, “the hour of Gods judgment,” which of cores will be at the end of a literal 2300 days from the going forth of another literal commandment to restore and build Jerusalem, very similar to the commandment that went forth to the entire world on June 27, 1980. [/FONT]
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]first, second, and third angels' messages are to be repeated. The call is to be given to the church: [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. . . . [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Many who went forth to meet the Bridegroom under the messages of the first and second angels, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]refused the third, the last testing message to be given to the world, and a similar position will be taken when the last call is made.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]” RH, October 31, 1899 par. 11 and 12. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The people of God everywhere are to be aroused to co-operate in the great, grand work represented by the first, second, and third angel's messages.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This last warning to the inhabitants of the earth is to make men see the importance God attaches to his holy law. So plainly is the truth to be presented, that no transgressor, hearing it, shall fail to discern the importance of obedience to the Sabbath commandment. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]RH, March 26, 1908 par. 3 [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In comparing the specific requirements of the fall feast days, given to Moses by Jesus, Himself, with the actual fulfillment of the judgment at the end of the 2300 years on the Day of Atonement in 1844, we see that the fulfillment of the fall feast types in 1844 was not a complete fulfillment of the fall feast types, but, rather a partial fulfillment of one of them only, the Day of Atonement. There was no literal fulfillment of the Feast of Trumpets or of the eight days of the Feast of Tabernacles. Remember, however, that the “Midnight Cry” of October 22, 1844 is the “bright light” at the first end of the path.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]As was previously presented in an earlier study,[/FONT]


  1. [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The fall feasts must be fulfilled in 22 literal days, and this fulfillment must be in a seventh Sabbatical Year, for the Day of Atonement to fall on the seventh-day Sabbath in the following year, the year of Jubilee, thus fulfilling the requirement of each of the fall feast days occurring on the seventh-day Sabbath in the two year period of the seventh Sabbatical year and the year of Jubilee. In1844, there was no 22 day literal fulfillment of the fall feast days comparable to the 52 day literal fulfillment of the spring feast days in C.E. 31 at the first advent.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The statement by E.G. White, “In like manner, the types which relate to the second advent must be fulfilled at the time pointed out in the symbolic service”. GC88 399.3, has not yet. been fulfilled.[/FONT]
​
  1. [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In 1844, the Day of Atonement fell on a Tuesday, October 22. To qualify as a main complete fulfillment, the Day of Atonement must be fulfilled on a Monday, in the seventh Sabbatical year, and on the seventh-day Sabbath in the year of Jubilee.[/FONT]
  2. [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The year, 1844, came in the middle of a week of years, therefore, it was neither a Sabbatical year nor a year of Jubilee, as the Jubilee year actually occurred in the year 1840.[/FONT]
  3. [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The fulfillment of the fall feast days must come at the end of the 6000 years for the demonstration of sin. In 1844, the 6000 years were not yet expired. (See E.G. White statements on the 6000 years). [/FONT]
“ [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]every age there is a new development of truth[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], a message of God [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]to the people of that generation. The old truths are all essential; new truth is not independent of the old, but an unfolding of it. It is only as the old truths are understood that we can comprehend the new.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]When Christ desired to open to His disciples the truth of His resurrection[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif], [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]He began "at Moses[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] and all the prophets" and [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]"expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself."[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] Luke 24:27. But [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]it is the light which shines in the fresh unfolding of truth that glorifies the old[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]He who rejects or neglects the new does not really possess the old.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif] For him it loses its vital power and becomes [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]but a lifeless form.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]” COL 127.4 by E.G.

WILLIEM MILLERS DREAM
BY E.G. WHITE
​
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I dreamed that [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]God, by an unseen hand, sent me a curiously wrought casket [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]about ten inches long by six square, made of ebony and pearls curiously inlaid. To the casket there was a key attached. I immediately took the key and opened the casket, when, to my wonder and surprise, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I found it filled with all sorts and sizes of jewels, diamonds, precious stones, and gold and silver coin of every dimension and value, beautifully arranged in their several places in the casket; and thus arranged[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]they reflected a light and glory equaled only to the sun. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I thought it was not my duty to enjoy this wonderful sight alone, although my heart was overjoyed at the brilliancy, beauty, and value of its contents. I therefore placed it on a center table in my room and gave out word that all who had a desire might come and see the most glorious and brilliant sight ever seen by man in this life. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The people began to come in, at first few in number, but increasing to a crowd. When they first looked into the casket, they would wonder and shout for joy. But when the spectators increased, everyone would begin to trouble the jewels, taking them out of the casket and scattering them on the table. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I began to think that the owner would require the casket and the jewels again at my hand; and if I suffered them to be scattered, I could never place them in their places in the casket again as before; and felt I should never be able to meet the accountability, for it would be immense. I then began to plead with the people not to handle them, nor to take them out of the casket; but the more I pleaded, the more they scattered; and now they seemed to scatter them all over the room, on the floor and on every piece of furniture in the room. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I then saw that among the genuine jewels and coin they had scattered an innumerable quantity of spurious jewels and counterfeit coin[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]. I was highly incensed at their base conduct and ingratitude, and reproved and reproached them for it; [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]but the more I reproved, the more they scattered the spurious jewels and false coin among the genuine.[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I then became vexed in my physical soul and began to use physical force to push them out of the room; but while I was pushing out one, three more would enter and bring in dirt and shavings and sand and all manner of rubbish, until they covered every one of the true jewels, diamonds, and coins, which were all excluded from sight. They also tore in pieces my casket and scattered it among the rubbish. I thought no man regarded my sorrow or my anger. I became wholly discouraged and disheartened, and sat down and wept. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]While I was thus weeping and mourning for my great loss and accountability, I remembered God, and earnestly prayed that He would send me help. Immediately the door opened, and a man entered the room, when the people all left it; and he, having a dirt brush in his hand, opened the windows, and began to brush the dirt and rubbish from the room. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I cried to him to forbear, for there were some precious jewels scattered among the rubbish. He told me to "fear not," for he would "take care of them". [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Then, while he brushed the dirt and rubbish, false jewels and counterfeit coin, all rose and went out of the window like a cloud, and the wind carried them away. In the bustle I closed my eyes for a moment; when I opened them, the rubbish was all gone. The precious jewels, the diamonds, the gold and silver coins, lay scattered in profusion all over the room. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]He then placed on the table a casket, much larger and more beautiful than the former, and gathered up the jewels, the diamonds, the coins, by the handful, and cast them into the casket, till not one was left, although some of the diamonds were not bigger than the point of a pin. He then called upon me to "come and see." [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I looked into the casket, but my eyes were dazzled with the sight. They shone with ten times their former glory.[/FONT] [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I thought they had been scoured in the sand by the feet of those wicked persons who had scattered and trod them in the dust. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]They were arranged in beautiful order in the casket, every one in its place, without any visible pains of the man who cast them in.[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I shouted with very joy, and that shout awoke me.” [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]EW p. 81- 83 by E.G. White.[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE GLORIOUS SABBATH[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]IN THE MYSTERIOUS SANCTUARY[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]PROCLAIMING THE SABBATH MORE FULLY[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]# 5 OF 5 [/FONT]​




[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]PERFECT ALIGHNMENTS ONLY IN OUR TIME[/FONT]​




[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]There are only two areas of time in history from 27 C.E., until today, 2007, when all the fall feast days meet all the specifications, as originally designed by Jesus, then revealed by Him to Moses, and, later, explained to His disciples, by His fulfillment of the types. These two areas of time would be 1888-1889, and 1986-1987, (however, according to (Hebcal) the perpetual Hebrew calendar, there are still several more perfect alignments, and all are in our day, and then after these, no more alignments even if one looks 1000 years farther into the future.) [/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In examining 1888-1889, we find that 1888 was a seventh Sabbatical year (a 49th year), and 1889 was a Jubilee year. According to the ancient Hebrew calendar, all four of the fall feast days fell on seventh-day Sabbaths within those two years, exactly, as would be required in the fulfilling of prophecy .[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Speaking of this same time period, E.G. White wrote, [/FONT]


“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I saw that Jones and Waggoner had their counter-part in Joshua and Caleb[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]As the children of Israel stoned the spies with literal stones, you have stoned these brethren with stones of sarcasm and ridicule. I saw that you willfully rejected what you knew to be truth just because it was too humiliating to your dignity. I saw some of you in your tents mincing and making all manner of fun of these two brethren. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]I also saw that if you had accepted their message we would have been in the kingdom two years from that date, but now we have to go back into the wilderness and there stay forty years.” [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]E.G. White, Melbourne, Australia, May 9, 1892.[/FONT]


The second, of these two areas in time, would be the seventh Sabbatical year (the 49th year) of 1986, and the Biblical Jubilee year (the 50th year), of 1987. These two consecutive years meet every specification for the 49th and 50th years. All four of the “shadowy Sabbaths” in the fall feast days fell on seventh-day Sabbaths within those two years.



THE FALL FEASTS DAYS ARE UNMISTAKABLY LINKED TO BOTH
THE 2300 DAYS AND ALSO THE THREE ANGELS MESSAGES​



That which gave the Day of Atonement, October 22, 1844, such special significance, was that on this day the longest time prophecy, the 2300 years, had ended. This period had begun with the “going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem” in (457 B.C.), as related in Daniel 9.


Similarly, the Day of Atonement, October 13, 1986, came at the end of 2300 days which had also, begun with the “going forth of a commandment to restore and build Jerusalem”.



This commandment “went forth” to the whole world via Reuters International News Agency, on Friday, June 27, 1980. It was picked up the same day by other major news services around the world.



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This commandment was introduced into the Israeli Knesset, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]and became law in Israel.[/FONT]




THE DEVASTATING VOLCANO BLAST OF MOUNT ST. HELENS​




The devastating volcano blast of Mount St. Helens in the U.S.A. On May 18, 1980, and the Dark Day that followed, announced this prophetic fulfillment. This event occurred exactly 200 years after the Dark Day of May 19, 1780, which also had prophetic implications. The next month (after Mt. St. Helens eruption) on Friday, June 27, 1980, Reuters News Agency broadcast over the entire world the law introduced into the Israeli Knesset by Guela Kohen, which was then overwhelmingly passed by the Knesset and became the law of Israel.


The going forth of this commandment to restore and build Jerusalem on June 27, 1980, meets every specification of Daniel 9:25 to be the beginning point of the twenty-three hundred day prophecy, at the end of which judgment would come, or in other words, the sanctuary would be cleansed. This twenty-three hundred day prophecy ended on Monday, October 13, 1986, on the Day of Atonement of that year.
And amazingly, 1986 was not only a Sabbatical year, but was a seventh Sabbatical year, the year just before a Jubilee, fitting exactly the precise specifications of the prophecies of Moses, including that of the Sabbath for the Feast of Trumpets and the first and eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. The Day of Atonement came on a seventh-day Sabbath the next year, the Jubilee year, on October 3, 1987.




THIS COMMANDMENT SIGNALS THE END
OF THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES​




This commandment to restore and build Jerusalem in 1980, and the Messiah's prophecy in Luke 21:24 are unmistakably linked to the end of the times of the Gentiles.
“Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:24.
​
The commandment which began a literal fulfillment of the twenty-three hundred day prophecy, also began the first seventy weeks of that prophetic period. Seventy weeks or 490 days reaches to October 29, 1981. On that day, amateur archeologist, Tom Crotser, from Winfield, Kansas, found, but did not disturb, the sacred Ark of the Covenant containing the ten commandments. Tom Crotser, led by the information in 2 Maccabees 2 searched for the Ark on Mt. Pisgah, where Moses went up to see the inheritance of God.
2 Maccabees 2:4-8
“4 It was also contained in the in the same writing (of Jeremiah) ,how the prophet (Jeremiah), being warned by God, commanded that tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he come forth to the mountain where Moses went up and saw the inheritance of God.
​
5 And when Jeremiah came thither he found a hollow cave: and he carried in thither the tabernacle and the ark and the altar of incense and so stopped the door.
​
6 Then some of them that followed him came up to mark the place: but they could not find it.
​
7 And when Jeremiah perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown till God gather together the congregation of the people and receive them to mercy.
​
8 And then the Lord will shew these things : and the majesty of the Lord shall appear and there shall be a cloud, as it was also shewed to Moses, and he shewed it when Solomon prayed that the place might be sanctified to the great God.” 2 Maccabees 2:4-8

​
A DREAM GIVES ALL THE DETAILS

With his three companions, Tom camped near this peak when during the night, he was given a dream. In the dream he could see through the top of the mountain and was shown the location of the Ark of the Covenant. He woke and informed his three companions of what God had just shown him. They then all immediately went to the spot pointed out in the dream and went to work. After some difficult digging within the tombs, through several passages identified in the dream, they finally broke through into the last room and found the Ark of the Covenant just as the dream had showed. They took some pictures but did not touch or disturb anything they found.


There is quite a story behind this discovery, which many readers may wish to investigate further, as we will not relate all the details here.


The government of Jordan resealed the entrance to these tombs and posted guards to prevent any further investigation of the site. This event marks the end of the seventy weeks which were allotted to the Gentile churches. (The laodicean Church was spewed out)
“To finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness...” Daniel 9:24.






PROFOUND DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE GENERAL CONFERENCE
OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH​




As the seventy weeks were ending, there were some profound developments within the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.


The Seventh-day Adventist Church had applied for their trademark from the Patent office of the United States Federal Government in Washington, D.C., which they received the week following the end of the seventy weeks.


When the Seventh-day Adventist Church Corporation applied for their Mark (trademark) from the federal government (the beast with lamb-like horns, Rev. 13:12) they were issued federal document No.1177185 on the tenth day of November, 1981. The following quotation is from this federal document:
“This is to certify that the records of the Patent and trademark Office show that an
application was filed in said office for registration of the Mark shown herein, a copy of said Mark and pertinent data from the Application being annexed hereto and made a part hereof, and there having been due compliance with the requirements of the law and with the regulations prescribed...Upon examination, it appeared that the applicant was entitled to have said Mark registered under the Trademark Act of 1946, and the said Mark has been duly registered this day in the Patent and Trademark Office on the Principal Register....I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Patent and Trademark Office to be affixed this tenth day of November, 1981.

(Signature appears) COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS”
​
Please note that the word “Mark” is repeated four times and is capitalized in the original document.



In speaking of “the Mark”, a vital statement came to mind from the book by James and Ellen G. White, entitled “A Word to the Little Flock”.​

​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Following the registration of the “Mark”, the Seventh-day Adventist Church commenced litigation through the civil power now at their disposal, filing suit against an 11-member independent group, headed by Marik, in Hawaii, on April 9, 1987, as one of the first of many such cases to follow.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Corbett, Marik's twangy-voiced Texas attorney, in the Hawaian case, said:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]"This has stirred up one of the hottest ruckuses I've ever seen....It's a suite of[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This action by the Seventh-day Adventist Church makes more relevant the following statement:[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]When asked from which funds the litigation expenses are paid, the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists responded on their official letterhead, stating:[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]How does this “Mark” relate to the three angels' messages? Or to the present truth for today?[/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]There are several profound statements from Ellen G. White in regard to the judgment of the “Church”. She makes very clear that the “church” goes through to the end victoriously. Some use the words “church” and “Church” interchangeably, without understanding the difference in meaning; however, in legal terms there is a big difference between these two words, “church and Church”. See any corporate law dictionary or corporate law lawyer.[/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The word “Church” indicates a legal corporation registered under the laws of the state. If this Church gives government recognized tax-deductible receipts, then it is, also, a 501(c)3 Corporation. All 501(c)3 Corporations are incorporated under “Roman Catholic Canon Law” and thereby subject to that law, make no mistake about it.[/FONT]





[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]THE JUDGMENT OF THE CHURCH[/FONT]​


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]When E.G. White made the following statements, she was referring to a church that had not yet incorporated as a 501(c)3 Corporation.[/FONT]

“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]When this church is weighed in the balance of the sanctuary, it is found wanting,[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]having left its first love.” 1SM 370 E.G. White[/FONT]
​
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In the balances of the sanctuary the Seventh-day Adventist church is to be[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]weighed. She will be judged by the privileges and advantages that she has had.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]If her spiritual experience does not correspond to the advantages that Christ, at[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]infinite cost, has bestowed on her, if the blessings conferred have not qualified[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]her to do the work entrusted to her, on her will be pronounced the sentence:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]'Found wanting.' By the light bestowed, the opportunities given, will she be judged.” Volume 8, Testimonies For The Church, p.247.[/FONT]
​
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]He will take His Holy Spirit from the church, and give it to others who will[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Herald, July 16, 1895. E.G. White[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The Jewish church was given a period of probation to fulfill God's purpose in them. Just so, a time would come when the remnant church would be weighed in the balances of the sanctuary.[/FONT]
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]When the Saviour saw in the Jewish people a nation divorced from God, He[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]saw also a professed Christian Church united to the world and the papacy. And[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]as He stood upon Olivet, weeping over Jerusalem till the sun sank behind the[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]moments of time. Soon He will say to the angels who are holding the four[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]winds, 'Let the plagues loose; let darkness, destruction, and death come upon[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]the transgressors of my law.' [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Will He be obliged to say to those who have had[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]great light and knowledge, as He said to the Jews, 'If thou hadst known, even[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]thou at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]they are hid from thine eyes'[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]?” RH, October 8, 1901 par. 15 E.G. White.[/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif](Notice in the original statement, E.G. White spells the word, “Church” with a capital “C”.)[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The first angel's message points to the judgment, the end of the 2300 days in the prophecy of Daniel 8.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In prophetic history, the first part of this prophecy, the 70 weeks, were given to the Jewish nation as the time in which to repent and to bring in everlasting righteousness. They failed to repent and their house was left desolate. The sobering fact is that 40 years later, they were destroyed by the Roman armies. There is a lesson in this for us.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Was the Laodicean church given 70 weeks in which to repent?[/FONT]


“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Neglect to repent and obey His word will bring as serious consequences upon God's[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Some may find these facts rather shocking, but the Trademark Document No. 1177185 was issued by the federal government in the week following the end of the 70 literal weeks from the “going forth” of the commandment from the Israeli Knesset (parliament) to “restore and build Jerusalem” instituted by Guela Cohen, a member of the Israeli Knesset. On Friday, June 27, 1980, this commandment received international news coverage via Europe's largest news agency, Reuters, and was picked up the same day by many other international news agencies.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Surprisingly, 2300 literal days after the “going forth” of this commandment, the prophecy ends on a Day of Atonement in a Sabbatical year, a seventh Sabbatical year or 49th year, when the fall feast days met every specification, including the “shadowy” Sabbaths falling on seventh-day Sabbaths.[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]What is God telling us???[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Is it time for the first angel's message to be repeated pointing to another 2300 days? What about the second and third angels' messages?[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]On many internet forums, there is quite an extensive movement already underway among people of many different churches, calling people to leave the churches that have incorporated under the government regulations of the 501(c)3 corporations.[/FONT]






[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]A FUTURE FULFILLMENT FOR THE JUDGMENT OF THE LIVING[/FONT]​



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]In light of the following evidence, there is a future literal fulfillment of the 2300-day prophecy, yet to take place, which would, of course, begin with another commandment “to restore and build Jerusalem”. The first angel's message pointing to the time of the judgment of the living at the end of this future 2300 days, will go with power. The following statements from Ellen White describe events connected with this fulfillment at the time the judgment of the living begins.[/FONT]​


“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The precious record of the law was placed in the ark of the testament and is still there, safely hidden from the human family. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]BUT IN GOD'S APPOINTED TIME [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]HE WILL BRING FORTH THESE TABLES OF STONE to be a testimony to all the world against the disregard of His commandments and against the idolatrous worship of a counterfeit Sabbath.” 1 Bible Commentary, p. 1109, E. G. White.[/FONT]
​
From this statement above, we see that God has an appointed time in the future for this event to occur.



“The tables of stone are hidden by God TO BE PRODUCED IN THE GREAT
JUDGMENT DAY just as He wrote them.” Review and Herald, March 26, 1908, E. G. White.
​
This day, yet to come, would be the day that the first angel's message points to, as the “hour of His judgment”, the end of the 2300 literal days, a Day of Atonement in a seventh Sabbatical year.



Another statement by Ellen G. White points to this future judgment.


“When the judgment shall sit, and the books shall be opened, and every man shall
be judged according to the things written in the books,THEN THE TABLES OF
STONE, HIDDEN BY GOD UNTIL THAT DAY, WILL BE PRESENTED BEFORE
THE WORLD as the standard of righteousness. Then men and women will see that
the PREREQUISITE of their salvation is obedience to the perfect law of God. None
will find excuse for sin. By the righteous principles of that law, men will receive their
sentence of life or of death.” Review and Herald, January 28, 1909, E. G. White.
​
“[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]The [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]first, second, and third angels' messages are to be repeated. The call is to be given to the church: [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]"Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. . . . [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Many who went forth to meet the Bridegroom under the messages of the first and second angels, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]refused the third, the last testing message to be given to the world, and a similar position will be taken when the last call is made.[/FONT]” [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]RH, October 31, 1899 par. 11 and 12. [/FONT]
​
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]"The people of God everywhere are to be aroused to co-operate in the great, grand work represented by the first, second, and third angel's messages. This last warning to the inhabitants of the earth is to make men see the importance God attaches to his holy law. So plainly is the truth to be presented, that no transgressor, hearing it, shall fail to discern the importance of obedience to the Sabbath commandment." RH, March 26, 1908 par. 3[/FONT]
