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...

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina

IMPUTED AND IMPARTED RIGHTEOUSNESS  EXPLAINED By Nyron Medina Statement of the case 1. Imputed and imparted righteousness are usually seen as different things in apostate  theology; they are presented as happening either successively or at the very same time,  but they are presented as two different salvific functions.  “In this most illuminating paragraph, the writer traces two distinct phases in the process  of our salvation—two complementary aspects of the plan of redemption—which are in a  certain sense successive, but at the same time simultaneous; two different operations of  the same righteousness of Christ, which alone can satisfy the demands of divine justice  and make saints of us. Let us analyze in outline form these two phases:  A. THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST BY WHICH WE ARE JUSTIFIED.  1. It is imputed to us, which is, credited, granted freely without our earning it.  2. It provides our r...

EGW QUOTE ON SINFUL NATURE

We are told that Jesus had our “sinful nature.” “He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ellen G. White, Signs of the Times, 7/30/02. “In him was no guile nor sinfulness,….yet He took upon Him our sinful nature.” Ibid. From what we have just read, we see that the term “sinful nature” for Mrs. White does not mean that the person has sin for she says that Jesus was sinfree. But what does sinful nature mean that the person? A. It means human nature affected by sin not infected with  sin. B. It means human nature weakened by sin, but not resided by sin. C. This is the Mind, Emotions/Passions, Flesh and Experience weakened by sin, but not necessarily indwelt by sin. D. It is quite true that man’s sinful nature, a nature weakened by sin, in the average sinner may have sin in it. So sinful nature for the sinner in sin is a nature weakened by sin, but the man has sin in this nature. E. This means the man has sin in his Mind, Passions/Emotions, Experience, and sin in his flesh is sin in his Mi...
