7 February 2024 | For the past 180 years, the Seventh-day Adventist church has published a notably high volume of journals: over 1.3 million pages containing valuable clues about both official and grass-roots theology, culture, and anxieties. Official theology has changed through the years (as should be expected). Indeed, in spite of official doctrinal pronouncements, […] Source: https://atoday.org/atss-michael-scofield-primitive-adventist-culture-theology-as-seen-in-early-church-journals/

A broken marriage, a broken heart, broken finances … total despair. This was Kendor Shy’s life the day he was thrown in jail. But that’s also where it all changed, when a stranger handed him an Amazing Facts Study Guide that would revolutionize his understanding of God’s Word. And from a prophecy seminar all the way to AFCOE, the miracles just kept coming as God prepared Him for a new life of service to the King. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIErC6lI8yQ
Daily Lesson for Thursday 8th of February 2024
Read Psalms 96:6-10; Psalms 99:1-4; and Psalms 132:7-9,13-18. Where does God’s judgment take place, and what are the implications of the answer for us? How does the sanctuary help us understand how God will deal with evil?
The Lord’s judgment is closely related to the sanctuary. The sanctuary was the environment where the psalmist’s understanding of the problem of evil was transformed (Psalms 73:17-20).

The sanctuary was designated as the place of divine judgment as indicated by the judgment of Urim (Numbers 27:21) and by the breastplate of judgment of the high priest (Exodus 28:15,28-30). Accordingly, many psalms depict God on His throne in the sanctuary ready to judge the world for its sin and evil.
At the sanctuary, the plan of salvation was revealed. In paganism, sin was understood primarily as a physical stain to be eliminated by magic rites. In contrast, the Bible presents sin as a violation of God’s moral law. God’s holiness means that He loves justice and righteousness. Likewise, God’s people should pursue justice and righteousness and should worship God in His holiness. To do that, they must keep God’s law, which is an expression of His holiness.
Thus, the sanctuary is the place of forgiveness of sin and restoration of righteousness as indicated by the mercy seat of God’s throne and the “sacrifices of righteousness” (Deuteronomy 33:19, Psalms 4:5).
Yet, the “God-Who-Forgives” takes vengeance upon the wicked deeds of unrepentant people (Psalms 99:8, NKJV). The practical implications of the sanctuary being the place of divine judgment are seen in the constant awareness of God’s holiness and demands for righteous living according to God’s covenantal requirements.
The Lord’s judgment from Zion results in the well-being of the righteous and the defeat of the wicked (Psalms 132:13-18). The sanctuary fostered the jubilant expectations of the Lord’s coming as the Judge, especially during the Day of Atonement. Likewise, the Psalms strengthen the certainty of the impending arrival of the divine Judge (Psalms 96:13, Psalms 98:9), namely, Jesus Christ in the heavenly sanctuary (Revelation 11:15-19).
Read Romans 8:34. How does this verse show us that what Christ is doing in the heavenly sanctuary is good news for His people?

Jesus replied: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
