WORSHIP GOD ACCORDING TO THE WAY HE HAS DESIGNED

|

Jeremiah 8:7 “Yea the stock in heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord.”

God has declared it openly that his people (i.e. in the Seventh day Adventist church) ‘‘know not the judgment of the Lord.” He says they do not know the appointed times’’ (the times that the Lord has appointed Himself).Truthfully speaking, the stock, turtle and crane know the seasons of the Lord.  That is why they migrate to other continents when seasons change and this they keep on doing through out all ages but, the people of God who prophesy to be the church of God do not know the appointed times of worshiping God according to seasons that God created. 



Jeremiah 8:8-9 says “How do ye say, we are wise, and the law of God is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of scribes in vain. The wise men (leaders) are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?’’



If we go back to creation in Genesis 1: 3-5   “And God said, let there light: and there was light.  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light day, and the darkness He called Night.  And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Here we see that the sun initially was not created, there was light and darkness, but there was no sun. And God did this deliberately for a good purpose.     The earth went on for three days without the sun but with adequate light for one to see.  So the sun and moon were not created for lights only but also for a special reason. Let us look at the reason why the sun, moon and stars were created, for in Genesis 1:14 “And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be signs and for season, and for days and years.” Now this is clear that God created the sun moon and stars for determining signs, seasons, days, and years. So God was putting a Calendar in the Universe where no human being can change or temper with it. Nobody can change the time a season starts or the time a day starts or the time a year starts because the objects that determine this change are up in the universe.



Though these objects, the sun, moon and stars are in the universe, the devil through the “little horn” during the Dark Ages has attempted to change the beginning of the year, day and seasons and has tabulated its calendar on paper (The Julian Calendar) which we all have in our homes and offices.



This calendar has the following changes:

I) The year starts in January instead of March-April, which is Abib or Nissan as the Bible states (read Exodus 12:1-2, Exodus 13: 4).




ii)The month starts anytime instead of in the New Moon as in the Bible (read Ezekiel 46: 1,3, Isaiah 66: 22-24,   Psalms 81: 3-5).  The days of the month also differ some months have 28 days, 29 days, 30 days and 31 days etc The new moon comes after every 30 days - naturally.



iii) The week starts on the second day (Monday ) of the week instead of Sunday the Biblical first day of the week (read  Mark 15: 42-   , Mark 16: 1-2, 9) - (we all know Jesus arose on the first day of    the week (Sunday) and was crucified on the Preparation Day (Friday) before the Sabbath (Saturday).





iv) The day starts at midnight instead of even to even (Leviticus 23: 32).                                                                Above all this, it has changed all the feasts of God and has tabled Babylonian feasts which are;

.  Christmas (which is Tamuz’s birthday)

.   Easter (which is a memorial of the goddess Eashter an anti Christ)

.   Seventh -day Sabbath to Sunday



This all originated from Babylon and was instituted by Nimrod why initiated the building of the tower of Babel against God’s instructions.  And he (Nemrod) is the one who instituted sun worshipping, and the day the sun was being worshipped was called Sunday, the day the moon was worshipped was called moon day -Monday and all the rest for the days of the week were named according to the planets of the universal which were being worshipped.  The “little horn” in Daniel 7: 25 took over this work and enforced it upon the Christian Church after Christ’s ascension to heaven.  During the period 538 A. D. to 1798 A.D, the Papacy wore out the saints of God that did not submit to his dogmas after he changed all God’ institutions as prophesied by Daniel 7: 25 we read  “ And he shall speak great words against the most High, wear out the saints of the most High,  and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. ’’ During this time he changed all the Divine institutions which were appointed for man’s salvation and substituted with his institutions and therefore, fulfilling the prophecy of                          



Ezekiel 22: 26 which says “Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.’’



These Sabbaths are written in plural “Sabbaths’’ not “Sabbath” and therefore are many types of Sabbaths including the Seventh-day Sabbath. We shall be studying them a lot in this study.



Let us now have a look at the Sabbaths which were instituted together during the times appointed by God.

Deuteronomy 6: 1, 17 says “Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye must do them in the land ye go to possess it.’’

Verse 17 “Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes, which He hath commanded the.” Read from the King James Version Bible.



From these verses, we find that God did not only give them the Ten Commandments but that He also gave statutes, testimonies and judgments. Let us see what judgments are: These are laws governing neighbor to neighbor relations, examples are those in Leviticus 18:4 - 30.



We also should keep the statutes which are the Lord’s feasts, see Leviticus 23:14 (this is the feast of unleavened bread) and Leviticus 23: 41 (the feast of tabernacles) Leviticus 23:41 Leviticus23:31 (the day of Atonement which is also a feast.)

Psalms 81:3; (The New Moon which is the first day of the Biblical month and is a feast.)  All these and many are called statutes, and are commanded that we should keep them.



We are commanded to keep the testimonies and these are testimonies in the Bible and also in the Spirit of Prophecy. Revelations 12:17, Revelations 19:10, Isaiah 8:20.



We have now seen that the Lord requires us to do four things which are to keep the;

    1. Commandments

    2. Statutes

    3. Judgments

    4. Testimonies





                                                                        -4-



These were all given on Mount Sinai or Horeb, Nehemiah 9:13 says “Thou camest down also upon Mount Sinai, and speakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments.”

Let us look at the reason God gave us these four laws; commandments, statutes, judgments and testimonies. Deuteronomy 6:24 -25 reads

“And the Lord commandments us to do all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always (our blessings) that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.” Verse 25 “And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He hath commanded.”

Verse 24 has given us three reasons for keeping these laws which are:

To fear God

For Blessings always (for our good always)

For our protection (preserve alive) as to this day verse 25 has one major reason which is;

For our righteousness or our (seal) or Perfection.



During the Old Testament period, before Christ was crucified, God had added the law of ordinances - these were animal sacrifices which were killed during the feast days and also during animal sacrifices. Read Numbers 19:1 - 2 “And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying.  This is the ordinance of the Law which the Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke.’’  These animal sacrifices pointed to the sacrifice that was to be done by Christ on the cross, and these are the only ones that were blotted by the cross since they pointed to the body of Christ. Read Colossians 2: 14, 16-17. “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.’’  Sow we see that the handwriting of ordinances or Animal sacrifices (as given in number 19: 1-2) was blotted out at the cross but not the commandments, statutes, judgment nor testimonies as some have thought. This handwriting of ordinances or animal sacrifices was against us since it involved killing of animals all the time yet the Lord says “Thou shalt not kill.” This was a burden. Colossians 2:16-17 says “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or drink, or of the New Moon, or of the Sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come: but the body is Christ.”



Let us carefully analyse these verses.

The Ordinances/ Animal sacrifices have been nailed to the cross; therefore, let no man judge you in meat. Most people think meat is flesh, meat is food Read Genesis 1:29.But when the Bible says flesh then this is of animal (Numbers 11:4). So the meat is the specified food that is supposed to be eaten in feast days, let no man judge you in this food nor in drink or in respect of an holyday, or of the New moon, or of the Sabbath days: These have been blotted out, but are a shadow of things to come meaning they still have a fulfillment e.g.,-the Sabbath has fulfillment of the millennium which is in heaven. So sin  was permitted for 6000 years and millennial  rest is 1000 years , bringing a total  of 7000 years complete everything , therefore, 1000 years is equal to one day (2Peter3:8).To meet this fulfillment we have to work for six (6)days and rest for one (1)day, giving a total of seven (7) days (or 7000) .



-The New moon still has a future fulfillment you see; even in heaven we shall be observing the New moon. (See Isaiah 66:22-24). “For as the New heavens and the new earth which l will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another shall all flesh come to worship before me saith the Lord .And they shall go forth, and look  upon the carcasses of the man that have transgressed before me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched :and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh .” So you see God will use the New moon and the Sabbath as a day when people shall go out to see the carcasses of men who did not observe the New moon and the Sabbath.




Therefore, Paul in Colossians 2:16 says the keeping of the New moon and Sabbath is a “shadow of things to come.’’  Paul is not saying these have been nailed to the cross but he is saying let no man judge you in “meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon or of the Sabbath days.  Paul is actually saying; Since the Ordinances (animal sacrifices) have been nailed to the cross, no man should say on the New moon bring a lamb or an animal for sacrifices because the animal sacrifices have been nailed as they pointed to the body of Christ but the new moon, holy days, Sabbath days are still a shadow of things to come (verse 17) says “ but the body is of Christ” meaning the body of the animals that were being slain represented the body of Christ.





 lf the New moons are blotted as well, so why are they still to be kept in heaven and new earth? lf they were nailed at the cross, who has removed the nail? It is visibly clear that the New moons and Sabbaths and holy days are still binding. And these are statutes that should be kept. 



Let us look at the statutes/feast of the Lord.



FEAST NUMBER 1: Leviticus 23: 1-3



“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. Six days shall work be done but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.”





Here we learn that the Sabbath day, besides being the fourth commandment, is the first feast of the Lord. In Exodus 20:8-11, the Sabbath is a commandment to rest only, but in Leviticus 23:1-3 the Sabbath is a commandment of convocation which means the day of a holy coming together to worship. Therefore, if you are keeping the Sabbath by resting at home only then you are keeping the commandment of Exodus 20:8-11, but if you are keeping the Sabbath by holy convocation as well (holy coming together), then you are keeping the feast of Leviticus 23:1-3. The Sabbath is a shadow of things to come, as explained earlier on, it points to a future fulfillment which is the 1000 years of millennium. In these 1000 years nobody shall afflict one self, everybody is to rejoice, so nobody is allowed to fast on a Sabbath since it will be the opposite of the happiness that will be experienced during the millennium, besides that, the lord says the Sabbath is a feast, who can fast in a feast? If fast on a Sabbath, we are surely joining the devil who will be bound in chains during the 1000 years of millennium. The devil will not rejoice during the millennium, he will be in the bottomless pit - Simple!





Feast Number 2: Leviticus 23:4



“These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. In all the feasts God has put emphasis on convocation that is, gathering together and also each feast should be kept at the Right Season “which ye shall proclaim in their seasons” For instance, we have spring, summer, autumn, winter, if a feast should be in spring God does not want it kept in summer or winter NO!! but it should be kept at the right season because God made the seasons for that purpose.

Remember Genesis 1:14.



Leviticus 23:5 says “In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord’s Passover.” This verse calls for wisdom. God has indicated the day and time of the Passover for one to know the fourteenth day of the first month, he needs to know which one is the first Biblical month of the year. In this case it is March-April or Abib/Nissan

(Exodus 13:4, Exodus12:1-8). If one knows the first month of the year, he needs to know

the first day of that month, which is the new moon, then counting from the New moon of the first month, one should know the fourteenth day of the first month, then at (even) or night of that fourteenth day, it then becomes the fifteenth day since a day starts at sunset, therefore, this is the time of the Passover feast. This calls for simple calculation using the

moon as calendar not the Roman calendar which we have on our walls. Now you see why

 God wants us to keep the New moon, so we can maintain God’s calendar.



The Israelites were eating the Passover lamb every year on the fifteenth day (night of the fourteenth) of the first month. This lamb pointed to the body of Christ (see Exodus12:1-14). They did not eat this lamb four times a year but once every year at even/night. Let us

Read Patriarchs and Prophets page 539 “On the fourteenth day of the first month, at even, the Passover was celebrate, its solemn, impressive ceremonies commemorating

The deliverance from bondage in Egypt, and pointing forward to sacrifice that should deliver us from the bondage of sin. When the Saviour yielded up His life on Calvary, the significance of the Passover ceased, and the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper was instituted as a memorial of the same event of which the Passover had been a type.”





Here we see that the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper was instituted as a memorial of the same event which is the fifteenth day (night of the fourteenth) of the

First Biblical month. So Mrs. E. White says we should often eat the Lord’s Supper - meaning every year on the fourteenth day of the first month. Jesus Christ sat with the disciples on the fourteenth day of the first month at  even (which then becomes fifteenth)

to institute the Lord’s Supper and did not eat the Lord’s Supper every three months or thirteenth Sabbath at mid-day, but on the night of the fourteenth day ( which is fifteenth )

of the first month. So it is a discord to put the Lord’s Supper on a Sabbath at mid-day because the Sabbath is already another feast as we have read, if the fifteenth day of the first month coincides with the weekly Sabbath, it is then a High day/big Sabbath - which

is a feast within a feast. Not the “big Sabbaths” that we always see.



So those who lived before the cross ate the actual lamb on the fourteenth day of the first Biblical month at even, and those who lived after the cross should eat the bread and wine or Lord’s Supper on the same date and time - this is proper keeping of the Passover feast.

The Lamb was substituted by bread and wine. If we read Exodus 12: 1-4, we will find that this Lamb was eaten by every member of the family, in fact, the lamb was selected according to size of the family including children. So even the Lord’s Supper should be given to children as well since they also are included in the Kingdom of heaven and, therefore, should unite with the body of their Lord. Denying them to partake of the Lord’s Supper is offering them to the devil. Where is it written in the Bible that children

Should not partake of the Lord’s Supper, when the actual lamb was being eaten by every member of the family?





FEAST NUMBER 3: Leviticus 23:6



“And no the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.” After the Lord’s Supper is eaten on the evening of the fourteenth day it will already be fifteenth day since a day starts at sunset. So for seven days which is from the fifteenth day to twenty-first day of the first Biblical month bread without leaven is eaten. This preaches that we are supposed to have sinless lives-since leaven is a symbol of sin. So anything with leaven is not permitted in that week.









Leviticus 23:7 “In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.” If the fifteenth day of the first month falls on any day of the week, that day is a Sabbath or a holy convocation. No servile work is done except preparing food. We are not supposed even to go to work (that brings income) since this work is servile. The fifteenth day and the twenty-first day of the first Biblical month and also the seventh-day Sabbath of that week, bringing the total number of Sabbaths in the week to three Sabbaths.

Leviticus 23:8”But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.” We no longer burn offerings since these animal sacrifices were nailed to the cross, but we are expected to live holy exceptional lives in that whole week and fire is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. If we do not observe this unleavened bread feast then we preach that people are never going to be perfect.





Feast Number 4: Leviticus 23:9-11



“And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, when ye be come into the land which I give unto you and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.” On the fourteenth day of the first Biblical month is the Lord’s Passover then the fifteenth day starts the first day of unleavened bread, the morrow after that week’s Sabbath is a Sunday during the week of unleavened bread. God is not interested in the first fruits of grains only, but in the first fruits of saints for the saints are His Harvest. If we look back when Jesus died, it was the Passover week-graves of the saints were opened but they came out on the Sunday Jesus was resurrected.





(Matthew 27:52-53). These were the first fruits of the dead and a first harvest to the Lord who went to Heaven that Sunday to be offered as First fruits to the high Priest. So this is the format of how God’s Harvest is going to go about, at one of the Passover feast on the morrow after Sabbath (Sunday) of the week of unleavened bread, a group of the first of the first fruits or (wave sheaf) are to be ordained from the living saints. These are those who become perfect first from the church of God. This group shall be responsible for the training of the first fruits or the 144 000 which are to be ordained at the feast of Pentecost which is fifty (50) days after this Passover Sunday where the first of first fruits or wave sheaf were ordained. So the wave sheaf are actually the teachers of the first fruits or the 144 000.



Leviticus 23:15-16 says” And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be complete. Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord.” Fifty (50) days counting from the Sunday of the Passover week when the wave sheaf was offered, will bring us to the Sunday and this fiftieth day is called the day of Pentecost. “Pente” means “fifty” so on the day of Pentecost.

Leviticus 23:17 says,” ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the first fruits unto the Lord.” This day is when the 144 000 shall receive the latter rain after being trained by the wave sheaf. For seven Sabbath from the Sunday of the Passover    

week to the fiftieth day is the day of Pentecost.  So this is the day when John in Revelation 14: 1 says “And I looked, and, lo a lamb stood on the Mount Sion, and with Him an hundred forty and four thousand, having His Father’s name written in their foreheads.” Mount Sion is in Israel - This is where there was David’s capital city.

So this day of Pentecost in Leviticus 23:15. So the latter rain is going to come exactly on the day of Pentecost like it did with the former rain of Acts 2:1. “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come.” So it had to be a day of Pentecost counting from the Passover Sunday after the resurrection of Christ stayed for forty (40) days with His disciples and later on left them to wait for this Pentecost, and they waited for ten more days which adds up to fifty, then the former rain came on time, on the of Pentecost.  So the latter rain is promised in Jeremiah 5: 24 “Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the lord our God (by keeping feasts) that giveth rain, both the former and

the latter, in His season: He reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.”          





Those seven weeks of harvest in Leviticus 23:15 from the Passover Sunday to Pentecost

day, are reserved by God for us to observe and thereby receive the latter rain in its season

This is why Zechariah 10:1 says “Ask ye the lord rain in the time of the latter rain;” And the time of the latter rain is the day of Pentecost in the spring season. How easy it is!



So, when the 144000 are harvested on the day of Pentecost they in turn should preach so that the second fruits are harvested on the feast of Tabernacles (camp meeting). Just the same way the 120 disciples received the former rain on the day of Pentecost in AD31, they preached until 3 000 Jews were baptized on that same day (Acts 2:41). The 120 disciples who had received the former rain had been taught by the wavesheaf who had risen when Jesus was resurrected. (See Mathew 27:53). “After they arose they appeared unto many.” Telling people the truth since the Jews had lied that Christ had been stolen by his disciples. So these saints told the truth that Christ was the one who had been raised from the grave. This resulted into 120 disciples being prepared for the early rain. Even the Christians who lived after the cross kept the feasts. ( Read Acts 20:16, Acts 27:9, 1 Corinthians 16:8, Daniel 8;14-the 2300 years determined on 22 October 1844 which was the tenth day of seventh month, the day of Atonement feast).





FEAST NUMBER 5:  Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27-33)



Leviticus 23:27 “Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of Atonement: it shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord,” To get seventh month we count from the first month which is Abib/Nisan, March-April. So we get to September-October. We also must count ten days from the new moon of the seventh month and that tenth day is the day of Atonement. We are supposed to afflict ourselves (fast). This is the only feast were food is not allowed to be eaten. In that day as in the typical service either sins which have accumulated for the whole year are blotted from the books in heaven or names of those who do not confess their sins are blotted out from the records in heaven. For we read in Leviticus 23:28-31 “And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day , he shall be cut off from among his people. And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.” Even if the 2300 days of Daniel 8:14 terminated in 1844, and we are in the Day of Atonement prophetically (we cannot afford to practically fast from 1844 to today), but it is a requirement that the tenth day of the seventh month should be kept as a fast. The disciples also kept this day well after the cross (Acts 27:9).





FEAST NUMBER 6: feast of Tabernacles (Camp Meeting) (Leviticus 23:34 -42)

Exactly five days after the Day of Atonement, people are required to go and celebrate that their sins have been blotted out and this feast is the feast of tabernacles.

Leviticus 23: 33-41 “And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the lord.  On the first day shall be an holy convocation: (a Sabbath) ye shall do no servile work therein. ……(verse 38) Beside the Sabbath of the Lord, and beside your gifts and beside your vows, and beside your free will offerings, which ye give unto the Lord……(verse 39) Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye

shall keep the feast unto the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eight day shall be a Sabbath……. (Verse 41) And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.” When the first fruits (144000) 

are ordained on the day of Pentecost they then also preach and harvest the second fruits in the church since Leviticus 23:39 says “when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land” meaning the second fruits from the church. Then probation for the church closes during the feast of tabernacles. Thereby harvest commences from the fallen churches and these are called Gentiles. Mrs. E.G. White says Jesus is coming to collect His saints at the feast

of tabernacles.  So we should observe the feast of tabernacles in the appointed date, fifteenth day of the seventh month.  Great controversy page 399 says it all: “These types were fulfilled, not only as to the event, but as to the time.’’ Last paragraph.   “In like manner the types which relate to the second advent must be fulfilled at the time pointed out in the symbolic services.’’ 



So the symbolic service started with the Passover feast, then Pentecost, then the feast of Tabernacles. So these feasts are the three harvests of the Lord in their order:

    Passover           = Wave sheaf                                                                                           

            Pentecost          = 144000                                                                                        

            Tabernacles     = Great multitude which no man can number (Revelation 7:9)



All these feasts were abolished by the “little horn” of Daniel 7:25 that says “it shall think to change times and laws.” The Amplified Version Bible says “it shall think to change times and religious feasts.” So we all along, have been observing feasts according to the Catholic way and thereby worshipping the beast. Why not worship God alone and keep His calendar, hence this will enable you to keep His feasts at the correct appointed times rather than keeping the Beasts feasts? So God says He shall send Elijah the prophet to straighten up the statutes. Read Malachi 4:4-5 “Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb (Mt Sinai) for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” We are living near the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord, so any one who feels and teaches that the statutes should be observed is doing Elijah’s work which has been promised. And God says well done faithful servant of God. Remember Elijah had a great

 Opposition from Ahab ruler of Israel, so Elijah of today should have greater opposition from King Ahab (church leaders) ruler of Israel of today which is the Church of God.

In Matthew 17:11 Jesus promised that “……Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.” Yes before the great and dreadful day of the Lord we should remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.

Israel of old was led astray in statutes and judgments by its leaders (see Ezekiel 20:11-12) “And I gave them my statutes and shewd them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them. Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them.” Israel of old was given statutes which are feasts but they trampled on them. We also are repeating their mistakes. If you have observed, all the feasts had holy convocations which are Sabbaths, this is why we have a plural on the word “Sabbaths”. Sabbaths are many Sabbaths. Ezekiel 20:13 says “But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes. And they despised my judgments …. Read Ezekiel 20:18 which says “But I said unto their children in the wilderness, walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers’ neither observe their judgments.  (Verse 19) “I am the Lord your God, walk in my statutes and keep my judgments and do them.” He still repeats that we should not walk in the statutes of our fathers which are: Christmas, Easter etc. Even the church of God still keeps the Feast of Tabernacles at wrong times, in this district during Heroes day, the other district on the following week and so on, and you wonder which one of these weekly tabernacles the harvest will take

place? How gross darkness this is, dense, dense darkness indeed!





Read 1 Kings 12:32-33 “And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah …… So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel.” What a close miss. He actually went to the feast of Tabernacles but on the wrong date “which he devised of his own heart.” No wonder why God used Prophets even when the kings of Israel were present. Look at how they twisted God’s statutes. Therefore God would definitely use Elijah and Jeremiah, Isaiah and some other prophets to give these kings of Israel a stern rebuke. Those who have the Study Bible with Mrs. E. G. White’s commentary should read the comments over this text of 1King 12:32-33 which begins by saying. “Danger in manifesting Jeroboam’s spirit” and ask yourself “Who designs your dates of the feast of Tabernacles?” Is it God or Jeroboam King of Israel (leaders)?

Is there anywhere in the Bible where the seventh month is indicated to be August? If not, why kill yourself with that cold weather which makes others to even miss the morning manna because it will be too cold - when the actual feast of Tabernacles was instituted for the warmer season Autumn - in September-October when branches are fresh. Think twice and save your lives.

Is it right to shun God’s feasts and exchange them for the so called Dorcus, Amo, Youth camps, Dorcamo rallies etc instead?




THE SEVENTH FEAST IS THE NEW MOON

As explained earlier, the New moon is the first day of the month in Heaven. One shall not know when the month begins. The following are verses on New moon. Ezekiel 46:1-3, Amos 8:5, Psalms 81:3,4, Numbers 10:10, Leviticus 23:31, Ezekiel 45:17 and 2 Chronicles 2:4.



The only way to know when God’s feasts begin is to keep record of the new moon. Since all the feasts are based on the heavenly (lunar) calendar.



Sister White has shown that in these last days the Holy Spirit will expose errors and give us truth from the Bible, in its native purity and entirely new. “Great truths that have lain unheeded and unseen since the day of Pentecost are to shine from God’s Word, in their native purity. To those who truly love God, the Holy Spirit will reveal truths that…… are entirely new.” (Fundamentals of Christian Education page 473) “For His church in every generation God has a special truth and a special work….. As in earlier ages, the special truths for this time are found, not with the ecclesiastical authorities (Ministry), but with men and women  who are not too learned or too wise to believe the word of God.” (Christ Object Lessons pages 78, 79)



Early Writings Topic- The Mystery Of Iniquity- Page 215



"Satan could not hinder the plan of salvation. Jesus was crucified, and rose again the third day. But Satan told his angels that he would make the crucifixion and resurrection tell to his advantage. He was willing that those who professed faith in Jesus should believe that the laws regulating the Jewish sacrifices and offerings ceased at the death of Christ, if he could push them farther and make them believe that the law of ten commandments also died with Christ.



I saw that many readily yielded to this device of Satan. All heaven was moved with indignation as they saw the holy law of God trampled underfoot.

Jesus and all the heavenly host were acquainted with the nature of God's law; they knew that He would not change or abrogate it. The hopeless condition of man after the fall caused the deepest sorrow in heaven, and moved Jesus to offer to die for the transgressors of God's holy law. But if that law could be abrogated, man might have been saved without the death of Jesus. Consequently His death did not destroy the law of His Father, but magnified and honored it and enforced obedience to all its holy precepts."



Here are presented two groups (Christians) of which both have fallen under the deceptions of the Lucifer, the first group believe that the laws regulating the Jewish sacrifices (Statutes, .e.g. Passover, Pentecost, New Moon, Day of Atonement etc) have been nailed to the cross (yet the commandments they keep therefore non-other than the seventh day Adventist Church fit this description), the second group is even more deceived as the devil has pushed them further to even say that the laws of the 10 commandments have been nailed to the cross( these are those who disregard the 10 commandment Sabbath and thus worship on Sunday)



Yet a careful study of the New Testament will show that all these laws that these two groups are disregarding where in actual fact not nailed to the cross  as we see the apostles (who where Christians) keeping them long after the death of Christ. (Acts 2:1; 18:21; 20:6,16 1Corinthians5:7-8;16:8 Isaiah 66:22- 23) and Jesus Himself never bloated them out at the cross (Matthew 5:17 -19) except the sacrificial law (law of Ordinances) Colossians 2:14 -17 



Thus because the devil through the papacy/Rome during the dark ages changed God’s laws  (Daniel7:25)(not one law but many thus not the Sabbath only) and times (God’s calendar Genesis 1:14-19).

Prophets & Kings 678 “ ….in the time of the end every divine institution will be restored…”

Malachi 4:4,5 here we see the promise of a restorer of the ways of god, a prophet whom God sends to his people Israel(the SDA Church)  as in the days of old (  1Kings18) to restore the true worship of God.
