THE SABBATH, GOD’S POWER

Pleasant Sabbath Face book Friends I pray that you find some time in this Blessed Day to open your Bible and go through these studies, you will surely be doubly blessed.
14. But the Sabbath as God’s Will, and Testimony of that Will also includes the sanctifying / holifying of those who keep it, which is done by the Gospel which is the power of God. (Exodus 31:13; Ezekiel 20:12; John 17:17; Acts 26:18; Philippians 1:27; Romans 1:16,17).
15. Being told to “… keep [the Sabbath] holy …”, and being required to do certain works that can only be done by Faith, would mean that the Sabbath Covenant-Seal also includes the Gospel, the power of God as part of it that makes us keep the whole Law. (Exodus 20:8-11; Philippians 1:27; Romans 3:28,30,31; James 2:8-12).
a. The following chart illustrates that the “covenant” meaning of the Sabbath involves or also means the Gospel. Isa. 56:4-6.
SABBATH AS COVENANT-POWER SEAL
KEEPING THE THE GOSPEL THAT
WHOLE LAW CAUSES LAW-KEEPING

GOD’S TEACHING SIGN
16. Not only is the Sabbath God’s Covenant-Power Seal, it is also used as God’s Didactic Sign, this is also the inherent meaning in the word “seal.” The word “didactic” means “intended to teach.”
“didactic … fitted or intended to teach: instructive: perceptive …” The Wordsworth Concise English Dictionary, p. 265.
We know that the Sabbath is God’s Didactic (Teaching) Sign because in scripture the Sabbath is explained as being given that we may “know” … certain things about God. Ex. 31:13; Eze. 20:12,20.

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 are

DID ELLEN G. WHITE EVER CALL THE S.D.A. CHURCH BABYLON IN ANY WAY? BY NYRON MEDINA

In the Bible is brought to view the following statement: “And after these things I  saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was  lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying,  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 are  waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice  from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her  sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.” Revelation 18:1-4.
