DANIEL STUDIES

Dan 11:45 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
. Dan. 11:45. Shows the Papacy establishing his reign in the S.D.A. general church until he comes to his end without anyone helping him. (Read Ps. 79 as a P.R.H. of Dan. 11: 45).
a. “And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace…” This is the palace—like 
military tents or pavilions used by ancient eastern kings and leaders of armies 
when in battle with another kingdom, it’s a temporary dwelling place, and 
symbolizes that the Papal king of the north occupies the place where his tent is.Jer. 43:8-11.

b. “...between the seas in the glorious holy mountain…” “...between the seas…” 
According to ancient geography this is the Dead Sea in the east of Jerusalem and 
the Mediterranean Sea which is on its west.

c. “...in the glorious holy mountain…” This is Jerusalem, and symbolizes the church of God at that time — the time of the Judgment. This is the S.D.A. church. (Ps. 
87:1-3; Heb. 12:12:22; Rev. 11:2; Rev. 12:17; Rev. 14:12).

d. This is telling us that the S.D.A. Church will fall under Papal pressures and accept the Sunday Law, but a remnant of this Church will not yield. Read the following quotation. 
“The banner of the third angel has inscribed upon it “The commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Our institutions have taken a name which sets forth the character of our faith, and of this name we are never to be ashamed. I have been shown that this name means much, and in adopting it we have followed the light given us from heaven…. The Sabbath is God’s memorial of His creative work, and it is a sign that is to be kept before the world. There is to be no compromise with those who are worshiping an idol Sabbath. We are not to 
spend our time in controversy with those who know the truth, and upon whom 
the light of truth has been shining, when they turn away their ear from the truth 
to turn to fables. I was told that men will employ every policy to make less 
prominent the difference between the faith of Seventh-day Adventists and those 
who observe the first day of the week. In this controversy the whole world will 
be engaged, and the time is short. This is no time to haul down our colors. A 
company was presented before me under the name of Seventh-day Adventists, 
who were advising that the banner or sign which makes us a distinctive people 
should not be held out so strikingly; for they claimed it was not the best policy in securing success to our institutions. This distinctive banner is to be borne 
through the world to the close of probation. In describing the remnant people of 
God, John says, “Here is the patience of the saint: here are they that keep the 
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus” (Rev. 14:12). This is the law and 
the gospel. The world and the churches are uniting in harmony in transgressing 
the law of God, in tearing away God’s memorial, and in exalting a Sabbath that 
bears the signature of the man of sin. But the Sabbath of the Lord thy God is to 
be a sign to show the difference between the obedient and the disobedient. I 
saw some reaching out their hands to remove the banner, and to obscure its 
significance…” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages Bk. 2, pg. 384-385.

e. “...yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.” The Papacy shall be 
destroyed during and at the end of the seven last plagues and no one can save it. 
Dan. 7:26; Dan. 8:25; Dan. 9:27; 2 Thess. 2:8; Rev. 16: 10-12,17-19; Rev. 17:1,12-
18; Rev. 18:4-10,21; Rev. 19:19-21.

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...

MRS WHITE QUOTES ON THE 1888 MESSAGE REJECTION

1. “The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones.” — TM p. 91. 2. “God gave to His servants a testimony that presented the truth as it is in Jesus, which is the third angel’s message, in clear distinct lines” — TM p. 93. 3. “The message of the gospel of His grace was to be given to the church in clear and distinct lines, that the world should no longer say that Seventh-Day Adventists talk the law, the law, but do not teach or believe Christ. The efficacy of the blood of Christ was to be presented to the people with freshness and power.” — TM p. 92. 4. “This is the very work which the Lord designs that the message He has given His servants, shall perform in the heart and mind of every human agent….God gave to His messengers just what the people needed.” — TM p. 95. 5. “The Lord would have these grand themes studied in our churches, and if every church member shall give entrance to the word of God it will give light and...

Summary Conclusion on the Righteousness of God

It is true to say that the Righteousness of God is the Law of God proper, it is equally true to say that it is Christ’s perfect obedience to the Law, for Christ is God, and all His historical obedience was righteousness. To claim that all God’s salvific administration towards sinful humanity is the Righteousness of God is to be on target, for so also do the scriptures speak. But what is the Righteousness of God that is imputed to us? What is the Righteousness of God that is given to us in Justification and is our salvation? It is none of the Righteousness of God we have referred to above. What we are looking for is a Righteousness of God that is without the Law, that is, a Righteousness of God that is APART FROM the Law of works, a Righteousness of God that is DIFFERENT to the Ten Commandments, this is the Righteousness of God that we are given in Faith for our Justification and salvation. The scriptures of the First and Second Witnesses speak of this unique Righteousness whi...
