THE SEVENTH GRAIN, THE SEVENTH MESSAGE OF THE SANCTUARY SYSTEM OF TRUE WORSHIP
April 16,2003- May 25,2003 (Revised Sept.10, 2005)
For the understanding of the full interpretation of the sanctuary system is for the worship of the Elohim, and the understanding of the righteousness of grace, the righteousness by faith, and of the righteousness of Yahshua. For a better understanding of the law given to Moses, and of the change made in the sanctuary system at the crucifixion of the Savior is with the understanding of the sanctuary system in heaven, and its application to the New and Living Way.
Exodus 29: 38-39 “Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually. The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:”
The people brought two lambs of the first year to be offered daily at the door of the sanctuary for their sins. It was necessary to always have a sacrifice for their sins. Everyone came before the door of the tabernacle at these sacred hours and if they had sinned, then an animal was brought up to be killed for the sprinkling of its blood on the horns of the altar for their sins. Today, we are to come before the heavenly tabernacle with our prayers for requests for the needed blessings and for the forgiveness of our sins. For the hours from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. are the sacred hours for our worship. As the people came together for silent prayer the priest conducted the service. Yahshua today conducts the service and sprinkles his blood, from the wounds in his hands, for our sins and offers our petitions to the Father.
“The temple of Elohim was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the ark of His testament.” Revelation 11:19. The ark of Elohim’s testament is in the Holy of Holies, the second apartment of the sanctuary. In the ministration of the earthly tabernacle, which served “unto the example and shadow of heavenly things,” this apartment was opened only upon the great Day of the Atonement for the cleansing of the sanctuary. Therefore the announcement that the temple of Elohim was opened in heaven and the ark of His testament was seen points to the opening of the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary in 1844 as Yahshua entered there to perform the closing work of the Atonement. Those who by faith followed their great High Priest as He entered upon His ministry in the Most Holy Place, beheld the ark of His testament. As they had studied the subject of the sanctuary they had come to understand the Saviour’s change of ministration, and they saw that He was now officiating before the ark of Elohim, pleading His blood in behalf of sinners.” {GC 433.1}
When the temple in heaven opened in 1844, Yahshua entered the Most Holy on the great Day of Atonement, at the beginning of the Judgment of the Dead for the cleansing of the sanctuary. Yahshua had come as stated in Matthew 25:6 “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.” Since no one recognized it as such, many left the church because of the disappointment. They were looking for a visible coming of Yahshua and the end of the world.
“The law of Elohim in the sanctuary in heaven is the great original, of which the precepts inscribed upon the tables of stone and recorded by Moses in the Pentateuch were an unerring transcript. Those who arrived at an understanding of this important point were thus led to see the sacred, unchanging character of the divine law. They saw, as never before, the force of the Saviour’s words: “Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law.” Matthew 5:18. The Law of Elohim, being a revelation of His will, a transcript of His character, must forever endure, “as a faithful witness in heaven.” Not one command has been annulled; not a jot or tittle has been changed. Says the psalmist: “Forever, O YAHWEH, Thy word is settled in heaven.” “All His commandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and ever.” Psalms 119:89; 111:7, 8. {GC 434.1}
Matt.5: 17-18 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or tittle of the law shall in no wise pass from the law until all be fulfilled.”
Webster’s dictionary: “fulfilled” means set into motion or operation. Most everyone thinks the word means to do away with, bring to an end, but this is not entirely true. People think the law was done away with at the crucifixion, but what does the Scriptures teach us. For if “one jot or tittle shall not pass away, not one command has been annulled, then something is wrong with the teachings in the churches of the world. For the observance of the complete system of the true worship is to be followed today just the same as it was when Moses was teaching it; also Yahshua and the apostles. For the complete system today is not with the animals sacrifice, but with the blood of the Savior Yahshua being sprinkled for us at the “Daily” 9am and 3pm hour of worship, the Sabbath, Passover, Pentecost, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles, & the Solemn Assembly.
On the Day of Atonement all were up early. The high priest officiated in the Daily morning sacrifice, which was conducted on this day as on other days. Num.29: 11. After this service was over, the special services began. The Sanctuary Service pg 171: 2
For the transfer of the sacrificial system from the earth to the heavenly sanctuary, put the
Heavenly into operation after Yahshua died on Calvary for the sins of the people that had transgressed under the Old Testament time period. Since Yahshua died to take away the animal sacrifice, which was not a perfect system, we still have in operation the sanctuary system as it was set up by Moses except we don’t have the blood of the animals, and we still have to come to the door of the sanctuary daily, morning and evening, to ask for the forgiveness of our sins under the New and Living Way which is His blood sprinkled from the wounds in His hands.
Ancient Israel sinned and refused to turn from their idolatrous ways and follow Yahweh. After the Ark of the Covenant being captured and then returned to the children of Israel, Jeremiah the prophet, along with other priests to help him, took the Ark of the Covenant along with the other items of the sanctuary and the sanctuary its self, and hid them in a cave no more to be brought forth again unto Israel.
For an account of this is recorded in 2 Maccabees 2:4-5, ” It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of Elohim, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of Elohim. And when Jeremy came thither, he found a hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door.
Information has come to our attention about this Ark of the Covenant’s hiding place and about the crucifixion, which has been hidden from mankind for all these many hundreds years and has now come to our attention and we are excited to share it with you.
A man by the name of Ron Wyatt, spent most of his life searching for different scriptural items–Noah’s Ark, Mt Sinai, the Ark of the Covenant hiding place, etc. He was a strong believer in prayer and the Scriptures; therefore he made it a lifetime work to prove these things. Needless to say he was greatly blessed in all of his efforts.
Walking along an ancient stone quarry, known to some as “the Calvary Escarpment,” he began conversing with a local authority about Roman antiquities. At one point, they stopped walking, and Ron’s left hand pointed to a site being used as a trash dump and he stated, “That’s Jeremiah’s Grotto and the Ark of the Covenant is in there.” Even though these words had come from his own mouth and his own hand had pointed, he had not consciously done or said those words. In fact, it was the first time he had ever thought about excavating for the Ark of the Covenant. The man with him, quite out of character, also reacted strangely. He said, That’s wonderful! We want you to excavate, and we’ll furnish your permits, put you up in a place to stay and even furnish your meals!”
In so doing, he made the greatest discovery of all times in an archaeological search that is a key to the understanding of the Scriptures. The following is quoted from the article on the web site written by his wife. The web site is listed at the bottom of the quote:
“The objects he saw in that chamber he feels confident in identifying are: the Ark of the Covenant in the Stone case; the Table of Shewbread; the Golden Altar of Incense that was in front of the veil; the Golden Censer; the 7 branched Candlestick holder, (which didn’t have candles but had tiny, bowlike golden oil lamps which are built into the tips of the candlestick); a very large sword; an Ephod; a Miter with an ivory pomegranate on the tip; a brass shekel weight; numerous oil lamps; and a brass ring which appeared to be for hanging a curtain or something similar.”
The Events at Calvary
ISA 45:8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness:
let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together;…
The earth at the foot of the cross-opened during the earthquake at the moment of the Yahshua’s death (Mat. 27:50-51). Then: JOH 19:34 …one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
Just as Daniel had prophesied, His fresh Blood then flowed down through the freshly opened rock, falling upon the Mercy Seat- the central object of the Most Holy Place and the literal earthly throne of His Father:
DAN 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, to… make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting RIGHTEOUSNESS…. and to ANOINT THE MOST HOLY.
The prophecy of Isaiah 45:8, above, was then fulfilled- “salvation” and the way for all mankind to obtain the “righteousness” of Yahshua did “spring up together” after “the earth opened” and His offering of His Own Blood was accepted by His Father.
1 JOHN 5:8 “And there are three that bear witness in the earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:
In an instant, death was defeated by the greatest sacrifice in all eternity. Dare we ever- for even an instant- lose sight of what has been done for us? I pray not. And lest we do, we are reminded by the prophet, Habakkuk, who saw the future coming of the Savior in the heavens, that He STILL bears the mark of the spear in His side from which flowed His Precious Blood:
HAB 3:4 And his brightness was as the light; he had BRIGHT BEAMS coming OUT OF HIS SIDE: and THERE was the HIDING OF HIS POWER…. (Marginal reading)

Mr. Wyatt found the cave where the ark was buried; it had a stone lid that covered it for protection. When he got inside the cave, he found the ark had been secured in a coffer with a stone lid that covered the ark of the covenant; the stone lid had been broken in half and moved apart; there was something black on the top of the ark, and looking up to the ceiling, he saw something black that had ran down through the crack in the rock and dripped onto the top of the ark on the mercy seat. With the realization of what it was, it so shocked him that he literally passed out for 45 minutes. When he came to, he took his knife and scraped some of the black off and took it to a lab for analysis where he learned that it was blood. In their analysis they also found that it did not contain male DNA chromosomes as does other human males.
He returned later to the place with someone to help him. They took a tape measure and ran it up through the cracked rock to the top of the rock to see how deep it was from the top to the inside ceiling. It measured to be about 20 feet.
What he found was that the Ark of the Covenant was secured in a cave under the Mount Golgotha, or Calvary. There were rocks on the mount that had been hollowed out in a square to hold 3 stakes; thus when Yahshua died and his side was pierced, the blood & water ran down through the crack in the rock, on to the top of the Mercy Seat, anointing the Mercy Seat. This showed that the animal sacrifice was no more to be a means for the covering of sins; the earthly sanctuary was finished, the heavenly was set into operation and Yahshua’s blood was accepted to be the covering for the sins of the people under the Old Testament time, and then from the New Testament time onward the fresh blood was to be sprinkled in the heavenly sanctuary on a twice daily basis, following the same rule of the sanctuary in Moses time. On the morning He arose and went back to heaven He took a wavesheaf offering of the ones that had slept in their graves and offered them before the Father.
Leviticus 16:14-15 “And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the Mercy Seat eastward; and before the Mercy Seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times. Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:”
Today, we have the New and Living Way of salvation, which is the sprinkling of His blood afresh for us. No longer is the death of a sacrifice needed for the covering our sins.
Heb. 9:14-18 “How much more shall the blood of Yahshua, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to Elohim, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim? And for this cause he is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.”
Yahshua was the testator of the will in which the promise of His coming to die to take away the sins of the world and do away with the animal sacrifices and give assurance of salvation by the shedding of His blood. As the Scriptures teach He died for the sins of many, not all as is taught today.
Ephesians 5:1-2 “Be ye therefore followers of Elohim, as dear children; And walk in love, as Yahshua also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to Elohim for a sweet-smelling savour.”
As the first testament was dedicated with blood so the second was dedicated with blood; the blood and water dropped down through the crack onto the Mercy seat to anoint it for the transfer from the first to the second – from the Old Testament to the New Testament time. The blood is sprinkled on the altar and with the incense the smell ascends up to the Father.
Rev. 8: 3-4 “And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before Elohim out of the angel’s hand.” This much incense is for the restoration of the Daily in the Judgment of the Living.
Matt 24:14 “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come”
Mark 1: 14-15 “Now after that John was put in prison, Yahshua came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of Elohim, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Elohim is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
“This gospel” of the kingdom, which Yahshua was speaking of here, is the “good news” of his having come into this world to die and set up the New and Living Way through His blood for salvation in the Heavenly Sanctuary. As we follow all the teachings of the sanctuary system and overcome all sin in our lives and put on the robe of Yahshua’s righteousness then we will have a place in his kingdom.
In 2 SR pg.187: 2-4 we read, “In the sanctuary construction and service, is revealed the plan of salvation. The first apartment, called the holy place, in which the high priest officiated daily with sacrifices and divers manners of gifts and washings, was a place for confession of sin. All of which was a shadow of heavenly things, clearly revealing the plan of salvation. The second apartment, within the vail, called the “Most Holy,” or “holiest of all,” was open only in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, in each year; there redemption from the condemnation of the law was assured. (Lev.23: 27-30; 16:34) It was called the Day of Atonement, judgment, or cleansing of the Sanctuary. (Lev.16: 33;Dan.7: 10; 8:14). This was a day for the blotting out of sins accumulated during the year, and was a symbol of the great Day of Atonement; not in figure, but in reality. (See Lev 16:19. Also “The Great Controversy” pg485.)
“The entire system -priest, sacrifice, and service- were a type of Yahshua and His administration in the heavenly sanctuary, which Yahweh pitched and not man. (See Heb. 8:2, and “The Acts of the Apostles” pg 14.) The holy place was for confession of sin, but the Most Holy for the blotting out of sin.
“While the services in the earthly sanctuary were in operation, there could have been no services in the heavenly until after Yahshua ascended and became our High Priest. (See Heb. 8) Therefore, when the services in the heavenly began, the services in the earthly had ceased. The true worshippers in the earthly, who by faith looked forward to the administration of the heavenly, were credited in the books of heaven as worthy of life eternal. Their records were to be investigated when Yahshua our High Priest entered within the vail into the holiest of all to blot out sin. (See Dan7: 10)”
“Many and earnest were the efforts made to overthrow their faith. None could fail to see that if the earthly sanctuary was a figure or pattern of the heavenly, the law deposited in the Ark on earth was an exact transcript of the law in the Ark in heaven; and that an acceptance of the truth concerning the heavenly sanctuary involved an acknowledgment of the claims of Elohim’s law and the obligation of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment. Here was the secret of the bitter and determined opposition to the harmonious exposition of the Scriptures that revealed the ministration of Yahshua in the heavenly sanctuary. Men sought to close the door, which Elohim had opened, and to open the door, which He had closed. But “He that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth,” had declared: “Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.” Revelation 3:7, 8.Yahshua had opened the door, or ministration, of the Most Holy place, light was shining from that open door of the sanctuary in heaven, and the fourth commandment was shown to be included in the law, which is there enshrined; what Elohim had established, no man could overthrow.” {GC 435.1}
‘Men have sought to close the door which Elohim opened,’ which was the establishing of the sanctuary in heaven in which Yahshua was to officiate with His own blood. What Elohim hath shut, no man can reopen, it is past and done with. It is only by our accepting the open door and walking into it with Yahshua, can we have any hope of salvation in our lives. The Scriptures read that he is the way the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but by him. Only as we offer our prayers at the correct times of day can they ascend to the Father with the sprinkled blood of Yahshua with the sweet smell of incense from off the altar. This is the new and living way to salvation.
“The announcement, “The hour of His judgment is come,” points to the closing work of Yahshua’s ministration for the salvation of men. It heralds a truth which must be proclaimed until the Saviour’s intercession shall cease and He shall return to the earth to take His people to Himself. The work of judgment, which began in 1844, must continue until the cases of all are decided, both of the living and the dead; hence it will extend to the close of human probation. That men may be prepared to stand in the judgment, the message commands them to “fear Elohim, and give glory to Him,” “and worship Him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” The result of an acceptance of these messages is given in the word: “Here are they that keep the commandments of Elohim, and the faith of Yahshua.” In order to be prepared for the judgment, it is necessary that men should keep the law of Elohim. That law will be the standard of character in the judgment. The apostle Paul declares: “As many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law, . . . in the day when Elohim shall judge the secrets of men by Yahshua Messiah.” And he says, “The doers of the law shall be justified.” Romans 2:12-16. Faith is essential in order to the keeping of the law of Elohim; for “without faith it is impossible to please Him.” And “whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” Hebrews 11:6; Romans 14:23. {GC 435.2}
“… Without obedience to His commandments no worship can be pleasing to Elohim. “This is the love of Elohim, that we keep His commandments.” “He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.” 1 John 5:3; Proverbs 28:9. {GC 436.1}”
Isa.58:13-14 “If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the YAHWEH, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Then shalt thou delight thyself in the YAHWEH; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the YAHWEH hath spoken it.
The rest of our message is being taken from 2 Timely Greetings No.39.
“There is much talk among us about “righteousness by grace” and “righteousness by faith,” also about “the righteousness of Yahshua.” But of what profit will all this talk be to us unless we do something to find out what these really are, and how to make them our own. We should therefore not fail in this, and we cannot fail if we seek Yahweh wholeheartedly as we study through the concrete examples which the Spirit of Truth has placed at my hand.”
Rom. 11:5-6 “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”
“We are called into the election of Elohim, says the Scripture, not because of any good works of our own, but through Elohim’s grace. We are, therefore, invited to become Christians, the children of Elohim, not because we deserve to be adopted by Him, but because of His favor toward us. Indeed, there is no other way by which we can be saved, for we all have sinned and, therefore, how can we be saved except He, through His grace, forgive us our sins and start us out anew? This is what is called a new birth, the sum of which is that we deserve no credit for coming into the household of Elohim. The credit is His.
Heb.11: 1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
“Let us now for example go back to Noah’s day. Noah lived in an exceedingly wicked world, as you know. It was so wicked that, as merciful as Elohim is, He could no longer contain Himself while the wickedness went on. At long last He commanded Noah to build an ark, and promised that all, whether righteous or wicked, who would go into the ark would find deliverance from the awful flood. Since they did not merit such a favor, they were, therefore, offered deliverance from the flood only through “righteousness of grace” — they were to be credited with righteousness and be given life which they did not merit. Thus we see “grace” taking occasion to save sinners even back in Noah’s day. And so, “where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” Rom. 5:20.”
“In Abraham’s time, too, only about 400 years after the flood the world had sunk deep in idol worship, and Elohim commanded Abraham to get out of his father’s house, out of his idolatrous country, and to go to another land, a land that was to be for his own and for Elohim’s people only. And as any, good or bad, who joined Abraham and his Elohim were as freely permitted to enter into the Promised Land as were the antediluvians permitted to enter the ark, they too, therefore, were given “righteousness by grace”; that is, they were privileged to take their stand for Elohim with Abraham, and to share the blessings, but not because of any good works of theirs. Having endured to the end, Abraham, whose faith failed not, became the father of all who through “righteousness by grace” attain “righteousness by faith.” Hence you see that “righteousness by grace” starts us out into “righteousness by faith,” the reward of which is, “the righteousness of Yahshua.”
“Later in history came the time that whosoever, good and bad alike, joined the Exodus out of Egypt, found deliverance from Pharaoh’s taskmasters and from his pursuing army. This deliverance they obtained not because they deserved deliverance, but because of the “grace” of Elohim toward them. (See Ezekiel 20:1-8.) Thus they “all…were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Yahshua.” 1 Cor. 10:1-4. Yes, through “righteousness by grace” none were excluded from participating in the blessings then offered.”
“Having been given “righteousness by grace” sufficient to cross the sea, and having come into the desert, they were then given the finest chance to exercise “righteousness by faith.” But only those who did exercise “righteousness by faith” lived on and entered the Promised Land. Those, though, who made no more use of “faith” in the desert than they did in Egypt perished in the wilderness.”
“Finally, came the time for the faithful to possess the land. And so it was that only those, whose “righteousness by faith” sustained them, crossed the River Jordan. None others did. And for our benefit the Apostle has left this counsel: “Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into His rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the Word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.” Heb. 4:1, 2. “
‘We have now learned what is the meaning of “righteousness by grace”, “righteousness of faith”, and “righteousness of Yahshua”.
‘By Faith the people under the Old Testament dispensation offered up animal sacrifices for their sins. The animal sacrifice pointed forward to the coming of the Yahshua and the death on the tree. They followed “the Daily” 9am &3pm times of offering and by their obedience to it they received forgiveness of their sins, and on the Day of Atonement there was a complete blotting out of sins.”
Read the 12th chapter of Hebrews on faith.”
‘By the grace of Yahweh we are given knowledge of the truth. By faith we follow the teachings of the truth of the Daily and as we put it in practice in our daily lives and over come sin, we put on the “Righteousness of Yahshua.”
“And so the unjust, the violators of the law of Elohim, have always through “righteousness by grace” been invited to come into “righteousness by faith,” the only righteousness that actually receives the reward of “Yahshua’s righteousness” and of eternal life. “Now,” says Inspiration, “the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Heb.10: 38. The just, you see, live by faith, but the unjust by grace. “Grace,” you note, is not the final touch of salvation.”
“Grace” plus “faith,” plus “the righteousness of Yahshua,” are what earn eternal life.”
“My little children,” says Inspiration, “these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Yahshua Messiah the righteous: and He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our’s only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of Elohim perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.” 1 John 2:1-5.”
“The Christian church, though, did not long continue in “grace,” but it, too, in time fell even lower than the Jewish church. Necessarily something had to be done for her also if any of her members were to be made free, and if Elohim was still to have a church on earth. Unquestionably, this “something” was none other than the Protestant Reformation. But since we all know that the Reformation has not yet accomplished its Divinely appointed purpose, has not reached the accord and faith which the Church enjoyed on the day of Pentecost, it is obvious that another attempt of revival and reformation is an absolute necessity. But to know all this for a certainty, we must turn to “the more sure word of prophecy,” to the prophet Ezekiel.”
It is sad how people can lose their way of following Elohim and forget about their salvation, fall into sin, only to be lost forever.
“Ezek. 4:1, 2 — Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it the city, even Jerusalem: and lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.”
“Here the prophet was commanded to portray a city, a Jerusalem — the capital of the church. This Jerusalem, of course, is not really the geographical Jerusalem, but a city that stands for what Jerusalem itself stood — the Church scattered throughout the “Gentile” nations. Moreover, Ezekiel himself was actually told that this symbolization is concerning the church while scattered among the Gentiles. (See Ezek. 4:13.) Furthermore, Ezekiel is commanded to lay siege against it, to take it! Now, since this Jerusalem stands for the Church while among the Gentiles, and since Elohim commands His own servant, the prophet, to besiege it, to protest against it, and to take it, it is therefore obvious that the Church, the Jerusalem here portrayed, is shown as having been drawn away from Elohim, and that Elohim is endeavoring to rescue her, to effect a reformation in her midst. For such cause, therefore, is Ezekiel’s siege.”
“Finally, since the Christian church, Jerusalem, away from its original geographical location, was for the first time in history so attacked, or besieged, by Martin Luther — by the Protestant Reformation — the fulfillment of this prophecy obviously commences with Luther. This fact will be seen throughout the chapter as we continue to study it verse by verse.”
“Ezek. 4:3 — “Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.”
“The wall of iron, illustrated by the iron pan, is a perfect symbol of the separation which existed between Luther and the so-called Jerusalem, the Church. This was to be a sign, not to Judah, the antitypical two-tribe kingdom among the Gentiles but to Israel, to the members of the antitypical ten-tribe kingdom while scattered among the nations.”
Ezek. 4:4, 5 — “Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity. For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.”
“To lay one’s iniquity upon someone else, is to free the sinner from the penalty which he deserves. It is an act, which credits the sinner with “righteousness” which he has not earned, and this is what Inspiration calls “righteousness by grace.” Previously the iniquity of the Jews was laid upon Yahshua, and the nation was given a chance to step out of her death-cell, so to speak, and to stand free in Yahshua. Many, but not all, then availed themselves of this “righteousness by grace” and stepped into “righteousness by faith.” This same “grace,” you see, was again offered to the church in the sixteenth century, for to lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon Ezekiel means practically the same as to lay the iniquity of us all upon Yahshua.”
“This grace through Ezekiel continues 390 days — years (Ezek. 4:6). After this period of time, the house of Israel, the Protestant churches, bear their own iniquity; that is, after this given period of time runs out, then this extended “grace” ceases and there is to be no other.”
Ezekiel then bears their sins no longer. Then is the time in which they must hold fast to “righteousness of faith” if they are to be rewarded with “Yahshua’s righteousness” and with eternal life.
Ezek. 4:6, 7 — “And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year. Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.”
“Ezekiel was to lie down on his right side, not only for the iniquity of the house of Israel, but also for the iniquity of the house of Judah and thus bare their iniquity, too, for forty years. And so both houses (the whole of Christendom), are given the same chance, the same opportunity. The one comes first in time, and the other last. Three hundred ninety years of “grace” are given to the former, and 40 years to the latter, a total of 430 years. During this period of time they are to triumph over sin, and at last to attain “righteousness by faith,” and to be rewarded with “the righteousness of Yahshua.” The exact year in which this period of 430 years begins, we shall see as we continue our study.”
Ezek. 4:7, 8 — “Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.”
“The uncovering of Ezekiel’s arm, of course, means that the might of the Reformation shall be seen, and the sins of Jerusalem shall be laid open — shall be prophesied against.”
“Moreover, the things spoken of here are sure to take place, for Ezekiel is bound down so that he cannot turn over and change the symbolization. He cannot get up at will, until he has accomplished Elohim’s command, until he has ended the days of his siege. Then in the end of this time he is to arise and from then on let everyone bare his own iniquity. Ezekiel, therefore, while lying down is symbolizing conditions during the Reformation from Luther’s time down to the end of the 430 years. Then Ezekiel arises and is made the watchman: “Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me.” And since this prophecy is now unfolded for the first time, Ezekiel, obviously, is especially figurative of this final effort of revival and reformation, of the effort after Ezekiel is through lying down and while he is up and active. Consequently, the same effort which Luther put forth in the sixteenth century is to be carried out in a greater way now in the twentieth century, for such is the prophet’s charge.”
“The difference between the Reformation during the 430 years and the one after, is this: During the 430 years “grace” lingered, whereas after this period of time has run out, and while Ezekiel is up, those who fail to attain to “righteousness by faith” will themselves have to pay the price of their sins. No longer are their sins laid upon Ezekiel, and no longer is Ezekiel lying down and inactive; no longer are they to be excused upon the ground of ignorance after the warning has been sounded in their ears, for Ezekiel is plainly told: “
“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the Word at My mouth, and give them warning from Me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezek. 3:17-21.
‘Ezek. 4:9-11 — “Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof. And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it. Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.”
“The cereals mentioned in Ezek. 4:9 are six in number, and are of course symbolical of spiritual food, the food with which the flock has been fed during the 390 years. Six kinds of cereals not only denote six kinds of truths, doctrines, handed to the flock during the 390 year period, but also denote incompleteness of Truth, for number seven, not six, is the Biblical denotation of completeness. They are consequently the doctrines, which the reformers brought in:
“(1) The doctrine of faith that made the Lutheran denomination; (2) the doctrine of the Spirit that made the Presbyterian denomination; (3) the doctrine of grace that made the Methodist denomination; (4) the doctrine of baptism that made the Baptist denomination; (5) the doctrine of the second Advent of Yahshua that made the First-day Adventist; (6) the doctrine of the cleansing of the sanctuary along with the Seventh-day Sabbath that made the Seventh-day Adventists. (All other sects with their additions, omissions, and deductions, have obviously branched from these six denominations.)”

“One may raise an argument, though only a losing one, over the denominations here named, but one can hardly raise any honest argument against the fact that these six doctrines (cereals) are the main doctrines upon which Protestantism as a whole is built. However, be they these or other doctrines, the truth that they are only six, means that a seventh truth is to be unfolded. Moreover, these truths, says Inspiration, were to be given sparingly, by weight, — not everything that pertains to the subject, — and all Christendom knows that this has been the case.”
‘Ezek. 4:12-15 — “And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight. And the YAHWEH said, even thus, shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them. Then said I, Ah YAHWEH Elohim! Behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth. Then He said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.”
“As the barley cake that smote and ruined the Midianite tent did forecast Divine aid for Gideon’s victory over the Midianites, so the cereals eaten as barley cakes do signify that the truths accepted were as of the Spirit, as of Divine origin. In the preparation of them, though, is where the objectionable part comes in, for Inspiration points out that these were baked on “dung” instead of on wood, emphatically denoting that these truths were defiled by men while being prepared for the flock. And what else could the preparation be but the private additions, omissions, perversions, and misapplications by uninspired men who preach from the pulpits on these subjects, and who write the so-called pure Scripture truths and hand them to the people?”
“There is no mystery in this, for everybody knows that the winds of doctrine blowing from all directions, one contradicting the other, cannot all be pure Scripture truth. The only surprising part is that Inspiration foresaw it so long ago, and that no one discovered it before Inspiration Itself did unfold it.”
If this is the case of 50 years ago, then we know that it is even worse today with churches coming up everyday because people want to believe what they want to and it is not in accordance with the teachings of the Scriptures. Every wind of doctrine is blowing and Satan is seeking whom he may deceive for he knows that everyone who follows him is one more that he does not have to answer for in the final burning of the wicked.
“Thus prophecy declares that such has been the spiritual food with which the flock has been fed for 390 years, the years during the Reformation. And who can deny it? Are we, then, still wondering which denomination is dealing out unadulterated Truth to its members? Prophecy declares that none is, for such was to be the food for all throughout the 390 years! And if they do not get new Heaven-inspired Truth after the 390 years are passed, then they must feed on “dung” baked food forever, and die with it.”
Too long has man lived on the dung-baked doctrine and now is the time for the pure doctrine of the Scriptures to be taught to attain the righteousness of Yahshua. The Daily and the Divinely Ordained System of the True Worship of Yahweh is the only way that we have of reaching perfection and of getting rid of all sin out of our lives. We are to search our hearts and over come all idolatry, self-exultation, appetite, lusts of the flesh, and any thing that is not in accordance with the teachings of the law of Elohim.
2 TG 42:32:2 we read “Besides this vivid illustration, Inspiration, through the prophet Daniel reveals that the Sanctuary is to be cleansed not only from sinners, but from doctrinal error, too, for one angel inquired,–” (end quote.)
“This, I say again, should not be a surprise to any, for everyone knows that since all the denominations disagree with one another on the doctrines, they cannot possibly all be right. It may, however, be surprising to know that not even one is absolutely right. “
“The scarcity of even these man-contaminated truths, prophecy declares, is brought upon the Christian world so that they be “astonied,” that they realize their poverty, their need of an absolute truth, so that when the Spirit of Truth shall come, It shall find a responding chord in the hearts of men, else they be consumed away in their iniquity. “
“To find exactly the beginning of the 430-year period, we must first find the year the period ended, the year in which antitypical Ezekiel arose and began to sound the warning, the year in which the Spirit of Truth unrolled the scroll and brought in an abundance of Divinely inspired, pure and unadulterated Truth (not baked upon dung), not by weight and not by measure either, — “
“This message, as some of you already know, began to unfold in 1930. Hence, if we subtract 430 years from 1930, we are taken back to 1500, the time Martin Luther’s call came, the time he began to study the Scripture, the time he started to prepare for the work of the Reformation. This message was, therefore, by Elohim Himself planned and timed back in Ezekiel’s time, all for your good and mine! How thoughtful Elohim is! And how unworthy we are.”
“As the 430-year period during which our sins were laid upon Ezekiel, is behind us, we ourselves, not Ezekiel, are henceforth to be responsible for our sins if we now fail to give heed to the message of the hour and to attain to “righteousness by faith.” How important, then, that we not neglect our opportunity now to accept what Elohim sends, and to attain to “righteousness by faith” in order that we be rewarded with “the righteousness of Yahshua.” Thus only can we expect to escape the slaughter weapons of the angels and to live and reign with Yahshua during the thousand years.”
“Since we have seen that the 430 years ended in 1930, we had better now find out when the 390 years ended, the time the 40 years of grace began. To find this date we subtract 40 years from 1930, which takes us back to 1890. What happened then to mark the beginning of the 40 years? — Just this: The denomination then wholly rejected the message that was to unfold the truth of “righteousness by faith” and the “righteousness of Yahshua,” the very truth that again began to unfold years later, the Truth that we are now feasting on! Elohim in His mercy, therefore, laid their iniquity upon the prophet Ezekiel during those 40 years, — gave them a chance through “righteousness by grace” so that they might have opportunity now to enter into “righteousness by faith,” and thus reap the reward of “the righteousness of Yahshua.”
“Elohim gives us righteousness by grace, to attain to “righteousness by faith” in order that we are rewarded with “the righteousness of Yahshua.” Thus only can we expect to escape the slaughter weapons of the angels and to live and reign with Yahshua during the thousand years.”
PAGE 15 “…these six doctrines (cereals) are the main doctrines upon which Protestantism as a whole is built. However, be they these or other doctrines, the truth that they are only six, means that a seventh truth is to be unfolded. Moreover, these truths, says Inspiration, were to be given sparingly, by weight, — not everything that pertains to the subject, — and all Christendom knows that this has been the case.” (End quote).
For the fact that Ezek. 4:9-11 mentions 6 different grains shows there is another grain to represent a seventh message. A message of Truth is food for the soul and as all the previous messages that have come along have been represented by a grain then we know that there is another one somewhere in the Scriptures.
Matt.13: 31-32 “Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Mark 4:30-32 “And he said, whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of Elohim? Or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.”
Luke 13:18-19 “Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of Elohim like? And whereunto shall I resemble it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”
Yahshua gave this parable of the mustard seed to represent the purified kingdom of Yahweh. It is small and is less than all the seeds in the earth which grow into a tree, but when it growth up it becomes a tree that is the greatest of all herbs and the birds of the air lodge in the branches.
Why did Yahshua use the mustard seed to describe the Kingdom of Heaven? If we go back to Ezekiel 4:9 and you will see that the six grains were baked into a loaf of bread on cow’s dung. The mustard seed was not baked into anything, but was kept pure and undefiled. For the Kingdom of Heaven is a pure and undefiled kingdom and only the pure and righteous will be a part of it. Because we are in the time of the restoration of all things, then it stands to reason that this Kingdom is the purified one that all nations are to flee into in the time of trouble. The people that enter this kingdom will be righteous and there will be no unclean allowed to enter into the gates of it. It is the kingdom that will stand forever.
For the text on the kingdom of heaven let us read what Nebuchadnezzar saw in a dream, and Daniel’s interpretation for the king.
Dan.2: 34-35,44-45 “Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and break them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. And in the days of these kings shall the Elohim of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands…”
This little stone, which King Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream, represents the purified kingdom that was cut out of the congregation, the mountain. At first it was small and insignificant, but it grows and becomes a great mountain, kingdom, and fills the whole earth for all nations seek unto it.
The house of the apostolic congregation in the days of the apostles was pure at first but after the apostles died the people went back into idolatry and the pure church fell from grace.
Isa.2: 2-3 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of YAHWEH’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of YAHWEH, to the house of Elohim of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the YAHWEH from Jerusalem.”
Micah 4:1 “But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of Yahweh shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YAHWEH, and to the house of the Elohim of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of YAHWEH from Jerusalem.”
Ezek.17: 22-24 “Thus saith the YAHWEH ELOHIM; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent: In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell. And all the trees of the field shall know that I the YAHWEH have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the YAHWEH have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the YAHWEH have spoken and have done it. “
By the fact that trees represent leadership or men, means that the ones that have not followed on to accept the new truth as it comes along, then they are cut down and replaced with a new young tender shoot. They are not necessarily young in age, but in the position that they are given. For the mountains are large congregations and hills are small congregations. The young tender twig that is cropped off and planted in a high mountain is the Purified kingdom house of the Yahweh that will grow and become the greatest of all trees and all people will come unto it.
Micah 4:1-2 “But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the YAHWEH shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the YAHWEH, and to the house of the Elohim of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the YAHWEH from Jerusalem.”
For the observance of the Daily at the 9am and 3 pm hours of worship purifies the people for this kingdom. This is the only way for the people to come into perfection. Our learning what are the ways of sin, overcoming them, we are accounted righteous by faith and we are then rewarded with the righteousness of Yahshua.
We have learned that we come in under grace and have the cloudy pillar of Yahweh over us. Then by faith we practice the Daily and follow all the teachings of the laws of Elohim, putting away all idolatry, sin, lusts of the flesh of which include appetite, self-gratification, worldly entertainment, etc. We have to overcome all worldly ties that keep us from studying to show ourselves approved of Yahweh. If we want salvation this is the requirement. It is our choice to make. We have to decide what we want the most, salvation or a little while of fun and worldly entertainment.
The fact is the Daily was so important, that the vision Daniel had made him faint, and he was worried about its being trampled under foot for 2300 days. We are now in the time of the end and of the restoration of every Divine Institution is in progress. These are the additions to our having the extra oil in our vessels for the trimming of our lamps when the announcement of the Bridegroom comes.
The very first one of the Divine Institutions was the Daily, and then after that the putting away of all idolatry in our lives. These things are important to our salvation. The first commandment says that we are not to have any other gods before Yahweh. When we honor others or ourselves with birthdays, anniversaries, mother’s day or father’s day, memorial day, fourth of July, labor day, thanksgiving, Xmas, Easter, Halloween, valentine’s day, St. Patrick’s’ day, etc. These are all idolatrous holidays. We are not to observe them.
Matt.15: 9 “But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” These worldly holidays are teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. This is why the governments close their doors and tell us to do likewise on each holiday. When you celebrate these days then you are sinning and offering up to idols. The food eaten, as a celebration of these days, is food offered to idols. The Scriptures say it is abomination to do so.
When Yahshua was giving the Sermon on the Mount, he taught the people how to pray. We have all repeated this prayer many times and I am sure we haven’t ever stop to realize just what is the real meaning of it.
Matt 6:9-13 “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”
When the prayer is started we are praising the Holy Name of the Father.
“Thy kingdom come.” Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. “ These words have never really had meaning to us because we have never really understood the “kingdom” and His Will. For the kingdom of heaven is come to earth and Yahweh’s will is to be done in it. “As it is done in heaven”- He says that His kingdom is free from all sin and idolatry. There is only one way to do His will on earth as it is done in heaven, and that is as we follow the sanctuary system correctly. It is His will that we come before Him in prayer at the appointed times and seek Him and Yahshua for forgiveness of any and all sins.
“Give us this day our daily bread” means that we are given daily bread (truth, understanding) if we come to Him at the appointed times of worship. When we open the Scriptures as we are commanded, we are shown new things that we did not understand before. Truth is referred to as bread in the Scriptures.
“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” As we pray we are asking for forgiveness of our sins, debts. When we come to the altar of forgiveness at the hours of the Daily, we want our sins forgiven as we forgive anyone that may trespassed against us. If we don’t forgive others, then neither will He forgive us.
Matt.6: 15 “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” By the preceding statement we are asking Yahweh that we be not led us into temptation; we want Him to deliver us from evil. We are to avoid temptation at all cost and if we do so, then He will deliver us from evil and we have a protection in this when we are following the Daily and allowing Him to control our lives and lead us along. His kingdom is free from all unrighteousness and sin; it is a pure and holy place for the righteous to live and have shelter from all the evil and sin in the world. As we follow the Daily then we are under the cloud of the protection of our Heavenly Father Yahweh and the Son Yahshua.
“For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever, Amen.
Yahweh owns the purified kingdom; He gives it the power of the Holy Spirit and His glory for it to be the everlasting kingdom that He takes to Heaven. We all want to be a part of it.
2TG 39 “I say it is foolish to reject Truth merely on someone’s say so rather than to go to Elohim in prayer and to act in harmony with your own convictions through the Spirit that leads into all Truth. To do otherwise is to deny any personal connection with Heaven, and to put your trust in man, to make “flesh your arm.” Isa. 2:22. Do not, therefore, let the enemy talk you out of this Truth, especially in the face of the fact that the opposition has nothing substantial, nothing authoritative, or official, nothing to take its place. And how foolish for one to try to ascertain Truth by the mind of the opposition! It is as sensible as if you should solicit the opinion of a Republican politician about your desire to vote on a Democratic ballot! There would be some sense in going for help to someone who is unbiased, but never any sense in going to one who is as opposed to this Truth as were the priests, scribes, and Pharisees opposed to Yahshua’s teachings. “
“If you do not see every point as clearly as you would like, why not take the counsel of the Spirit of Prophecy? Let me read to you a few paragraphs:”
“…If a message comes that you do not understand, take pains that you may hear the reasons the messenger may give, comparing Scripture with Scripture, that you may know whether or not it is sustained by the word of Elohim. If you believe that the positions taken have not the word of Elohim for their foundation, if the position you hold on the subject cannot be controverted, then produce your strong reasons; for your position will not be shaken by coming in contact with error. There is no virtue or manliness in keeping up a continual warfare in the dark, closing your eyes lest you may see, closing your ears lest you may hear, hardening your heart in ignorance and unbelief lest you may have to humble yourselves and acknowledge that you have received light on some points of truth.” — Counsels on Sabbath School Work, pg. 29.”
“Precious light is to shine forth from the word of Elohim, and let no one presume to dictate what shall or what shall not be brought before the people in the messages of enlightenment that He shall send, and so quench the Spirit of Elohim. Whatever may be his position of authority, no one has a right to shut away the light from the people. When a message comes in the name of the Yahweh to His people, no one may excuse himself from an investigation of its claims. No one can afford to stand back in an attitude of indifference and self-confidence, and say: ‘I know what is truth. I am satisfied with my position. I have set my stakes, and I will not be moved away from my position, whatever may come. I will not listen to the message of this messenger; for I know that it cannot be truth.’ It was from pursuing this very course that the popular churches were left in partial darkness, and that is why the messages of heaven have not reached them.” — Id., pg. 28.”
“There is yet much precious truth to be revealed to the people in this time of peril and darkness, but it is Satan’s determined purpose to prevent the light of truth from shining into the hearts of men. If we would have the light that has been provided for us, we should show our desire for it by diligently searching the word of Elohim. Precious truths that have long been in obscurity are to be revealed in a light that will make manifest their sacred worth; for Elohim will glorify His word, that it may appear in a light in which we have never before beheld it. But those who profess to love the truth must put to the stretch their powers, that they may comprehend the deep things of the word that Elohim may be glorified and His people may be blessed and enlightened. With humble hearts, subdued by the grace of Elohim, you should come to the task of searching the Scriptures, prepared to accept every ray of divine light, and to walk in the way of holiness.” — Id, pg. 25.”
“Moreover, you never see the whole world at a glance. You only see a part of it at a time. Likewise you cannot expect to see the whole Truth all at once, but only a little at a time. Cling to that little, and as you continue in prayer and study, it will all become as clear as the sun and you will begin to comprehend the subject in its entirety.”
“Brother, Sister, no longer pass up your opportunity. Act now and make peace with Elohim. Flee now from the abominations, and take your stand at Elohim’s right hand if you wish His blessing and life forevermore. “Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts.” Heb 4:7. Realize that Elohim Himself is speaking to you, that these are not mortal words, not myths, that this is a message which has remained sealed through the centuries, and which is now unsealed and brought to you as fresh as lilies covered with summer’s dew.”
“One of the most important parts of this study, you see, is the fact that during the 430 years — from 1500 to 1930 — the iniquity of us all has been laid on the prophet of Elohim. I say, because of this abundant “grace” that has prevailed all through the years, we are permitted to be here today. Men, though, have taken advantage of Elohim’s “grace,” and have come to think that He has forsaken the earth, that He has left us to do as we will, and to get along as best we can. We all will change our minds as soon as Elohim’s forewarning is completed.”
“Hence, those Laodiceans who would avail themselves of the opportunity to partake of this feast of fresh and unadulterated “meat in due season,” who would now at the last call hold to the “righteousness by grace” already given them, — they all may enter into the “righteousness by faith” that is to be rewarded with “the righteousness of Yahshua,” and thus crowned with eternal life. Obviously, all others will have to bear their own iniquity and pay their own penalty. They will have to perish.”
“True, you think you have need of nothing, but Elohim Who really knows says you are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,” in need of everything. Would you not take His advice and anoint your eyes with the eye salve that you may see? “
“Finally, when the warning message has reached the people, then those who do not profit by it, who do not reform, — who fail to “sigh and cry for all the abominations in the midst thereof,” — then it is that those who do not now attain to “righteousness by faith,” shall find themselves without the “mark.” They will consequently have to pay the penalty for their sins, perish under the slaughter weapons of the angels. (Read Ezekiel Nine; Testimonies For The Church, Vol. 3, pp. 266, 267; Testimonies For The Church, Vol. 5, pp. 210, 211.) “
Plainly, the house of Judah, since 1930 stands in the same need as the house of Israel stood after 1890. They all now need the message of today if they expect to have a home in the kingdom of Elohim. Moreover, it is plain to see that what the house of Judah failed to accomplish after 1890 we must now accomplish against greater odds and in less time. “
“The lessons that are taught in this chapter are these: First it is pointed out that the period of “righteousness by grace” is now in the past; that we have now come to the time in which our safety lies only in practicing “righteousness by faith,” if we expect to be rewarded with the “righteousness of Yahshua” and crowned with eternal life. The second lesson teaches that the Church does not yet have all the Truth, and that which she does have is contaminated, “baked on dung.” Hence the great need that we have Inspired Truth from the Throne of Elohim; for with it we are saved, and without it we are lost. “
We moved from Kermit Texas to the Austin Texas area in 2003 at the direction of the Yahweh to go east with the Kingdom and set it up in this area.
We left Kermit on a very hot day and with a long trip ahead of us. It was late in the after noon and we did not get too far. We had a friend in Midland Texas who let us pull up into the back of his station and sleep in our vehicles for the night. The next day being the Sabbath, we drove about 125 miles and found a park where we spent the rest of the day resting. Later that Sabbath evening we drove on to another town and where we took a motel so as get baths and a good nights rest. The next day being Sunday we pushed on into the Austin Texas area around noon. As it was hot and we were getting close, I started to pray and talk to my heavenly Father because we felt we were making an exodus. I reminded Him that He gave the children of Israel a cloud to cover them in the day time from the heat and that we would like to have it as a token of His Presence having followed us. The very next day it was cloudy and has been cloudy most of the time we have been here this first month. The sun will come out for a little while but then the clouds will come back and cover us. We love it here and are rejoicing over it all.
I just wanted to insert this bit of information because it is a historical point in the movement of the kingdom.
This tract has shown how the Scriptures predicted the purified kingdom to start out as a pure grain of mustard seed, how it will grow, that only the righteous are to join it and it grows and become the greatest of all the grains. It is the purified kingdom, the little stone cut out of the mountain without hands that the 144,000 are to be gathered into. They are the five wise virgins that are not defiled with women, or other doctrines, no idolatry.
My prayer is that we are all united in the kingdom to stand with Yahshua on Mt. Sion.
