01 Where We Are Now and What to Expect in the Future

There is going to be a foundational part, and then there's going to be a part afterwards, what I really would like to get into.

And the talk is going to be on righteousness by faith.

And that is, I don't think there's any more important topic that we can talk about at this point in our lives than righteousness by faith.

So where are we now in the stream of prophecy and what is going to happen next?

This is gonna be a very high yield compressed talk.

We know that 1844 was a very important date.

We know that from Daniel chapter 8, Daniel chapter 9.

And up to that point, there was a number of time prophecies.

In other words, we knew exactly when something was going to happen, but we didn't know exactly what was going to happen.

And that's why there was a number of disappointments, not only after Christ died on the cross, briefly, but also in 1844.

So if anyone tells you that they know when something's going to happen, that should be a little bit of a red flag.

And what is the purpose of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which came out of that great disappointment?

Again, we're gonna look at things from the 30, 000 foot level.

We know that the purpose of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is to spread the 3 angels' messages of Daniel chapter 14.

But there's something even more specific that we're given in that charge.

And that's a few chapters before in Revelation chapter 10.

And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it up.

And as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

And he said unto me, thou must prophesy again before many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.

Remember that you are going to be a witness, not just to your neighbor, but to prelates and kings.

By the way, if you don't have this chart, you should get it.

I'm giving a free commercial to them, because they're the ones that have the copyright for it.

You should go to ceilingtime.com and purchase this chart right away.

What does Ellen White say in Great Controversy 598?

The Christian has a chart pointing out every way mark on the heavenward journey.

He ought to guess, he ought not to guess at anything.

So I had this in my room growing up as a child.

It is, I'm only showing you the top the top quarter of it top eighth of it There are so many things below it that you can read and has references.

This was actually put together by Gordon Coley or 1970 before I was even born for some of you out there.

You're like wow, you're young right now And interestingly, he divides the period of time that we're talking about from 1844 to the Second Coming of Christ into 3 time periods.

We're going to go over those 3 time periods.

The first is from The investigative judgment, which began in 1844 until the National Sunday Law.

You can see that between star number 1 and star number 2.

And then the National Sunday Law until the close of probation at number 3.

And then finally, from the close of probation to the second coming of Christ there at number 4.

What does Adventist theology state about these 3 time periods?

Just to make sure that we're all up to speed on this.

So number 1, during the period of time that we are in right now, before the National Sunday Law, The dead are being judged in heaven.

That is what Christ is doing in the most holy place.

We are supposed to be spreading the 3 angels' messages.

We are supposed to be advancing the understanding of justification by faith and also righteousness by faith.

The former rain is falling right now, and let me be very clear about what the purpose of the former rain is the purpose of the former reign.

Many people believe that is the purpose of the latter reign.

That is not the purpose of the latter reign.

Now, when we come to the second coming, or to the number 2, which is the National Sunday Law, many people believe, although we don't know for sure, that Christ will switch at some point there from the judgment of the righteous dead to the judgment of the righteous living, exactly.

He has to have a basis upon which he does that.

That is, in some respects, what the purpose of the National Sunday Law is.

It is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, if you will, in the Garden of Eden.

And after that period of time, what happens?

There is a loud cry outside of the church to leave Babylon.

Not to those people in the 1040 window who have never heard the Word of God.

It begins here at Advent Hope, who have the red books on their shelves.

The ceiling begins with the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

There should be no sin in the house of God at this point.

Other people join the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

People will die under the banner of the third angel's message.

You know that Ellen White says there's a special resurrection for those people?

And Lucifer impersonates Christ during this period of time from number 2 to number 3 between the Nashville Sunday Law and the close of probation.

All right, let's go to the third period, very briefly.

The third period of time is the last period of time.
