THE DAILY IN FOCUS (RE-EXAMINED)

1. The Scriptures that speak about the “Daily” are the following. Daniel 8:11, 12, 13; Daniel 11:31;
Daniel 12:11.
2. The purpose of our study is to understand the following:
a. Exactly what is the Daily in Daniel?
b. What does the Bible present as the meaning of the Daily in Daniel?
c. How does interpretations of the Daily in a false way sustain various false prophetic
doctrines?
d. What is the true interpretation of the Daily, and how does it sustain SDA prophetic
teachings?
3
3. A proper translation of the major verses to be studied is.
“Yea he magnified himself even to the prince of the host and From him (Heb. Mimmennu) the
daily was taken away and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. And a host was given him
against the daily by reason of transgression and it cast down the truth to the ground and it
practiced and prospered. Then I heard one saint speaking and another saint said unto that
certain saint which spake, Until when shall be the vision concerning the daily and the
transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden underfoot.
And he said unto me, Until two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be
cleansed” Daniel 8:11-14.
4. The question is, what is the “Daily” in Daniel 8:11-13? There has been three major views in
Seventh day Adventism since 1844. They are:
a. The Daily is Paganism
b. The Daily is the Jewish sacrifices.
c. The Daily is the Continual Ministration of Christ in the Heavenly Sanctuary.
5. The problems with all three teachings and the controversies they have caused within Adventism
has been the following.
a. Which of the concept was true?
b. How the concepts affected and carried the interpretation of Daniel 8:11-14 in which they
were contextually placed.
c. The body of prophetic doctrines used to explain Daniel 8:11-14 that was associated with the
accepted concept of the Daily.
6. Two explanations must NEVER be used in describing two of the concepts of the Daily.
a. Never call the Paganism view of the Daily as the “old view” for this is misleading.
b. Never call the Continual Ministration view of the Daily as the “new view” for this is highly
misleading for various reasons.
7. Now we need to understand what Mrs. White said about the “Daily” in her writings.
a. This 1850 statement reveals Mrs. White making some observations about the supplied word
“sacrifice” in the text and cautioned about the daily being placed in a time setting after
1844. She said:
“Then I saw in relation to the “daily” (Dan 8:12) that the word “sacrifice” was supplied by
man’s wisdom, and does not belong to the text, and that the Lord gave the correct view of it
to those who gave the judgment hour cry. When union existed before 1844, nearly all were
united on the correct view of the “daily”; but in the confusion since 1844, other views have
been embraced, and darkness and confusion have followed. Time has not been a test since
1844, and it will never again be a test.” Ellen. G White, Early Writings, pp. 74-75
b. In the 1910 statements she first gave this admonition.

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel INTRODUCTION 1. The Bible tells us that any false gospel is a thing cursed by God. Galatians 1:6-9. 2. The false gospel makes us say Lord, Lord, but do not His Will, such people are lost.  Matthew 7:21-23. 3. The false gospel is described as untempered mortar that cannot help. Ezekiel 13:9-16. 4. It also tells a person peace, peace, (which is given by Justification) when there is no peace.  Romans 5:1; Jeremiah 8:10, 11. 5. However, the real Gospel is described as the power or science of God unto salvation  because it makes the believer, live by Faith. Romans 1:16, 17. 6. The Bible clearly explains that the Gospel of God’s Grace teaches denying ungodliness, it  teaches living righteously, it teaches that the purpose of the sacrifice of Christ was to  redeem us from all iniquities, (not in them), and to purify a people who are preoccupied  with performing good works. This is what ...

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...
