Sie waren die Begründer einer Bewegung, die mit Themen wie Gesundheit, Bildung, Kommunikation und Bibelauslegung auf sich aufmerksam machte. Der Film beginnt mit einer alarmierenden Entdeckung, die der Farmer und ehemalige Leutnant in der Vermont Miliz, William Miller, gespielt von Bill Lake, machte. Nach jahrelangem Bibelstudium stand für ihn fest, dass Jesus 1843 wiederkommen würde. Seine Predigten in Verbindung mit biblischen und historischen Beweisen waren so überzeugend, dass Tausende alles verkauften, ihre Sünden bekannten und mit großer Spannung auf das Ereignis warteten. Schließlich wurde ein Datum gesetzt: der 22. Oktober 1844. Aber der Tag verging und Jesus kam nicht wieder. Außer Miller und seiner Frau Lucy, gespielt von Kate Hurman, blieben nur wenige Menschen Gott treu, unter ihnen Ellen Harmon (Tommie Amber-Pirie), James White (Stephen MacDonald) und Joseph Bates (Timothy Paul Coderre). Der Film, der von der Kirche der Siebenten-Tags-Adventisten in Australien produziert wurde, zeigt sehr eindrücklich, welchen Schmerz und welche Freude Autorin Ellen White erlebte. Das Smithsonian Institute zählt sie zu den 100 einflussreichsten Personen in der amerikanischen Geschichte. Es war ihre Führung und Beratung, die sie aufgrund von Bibelstudium, aber auch durch Träume und Visionen von Gott erlangte, die diese Kirche schrittweise zu einer weltweiten Bewegung machte, die ihr besonderes Augenmerk auf die Bereiche Gesundheit, Bildung, Gemeinwesen und Katastrophenhilfe richtet. Die Freikirche der Siebenten-Tags-Adventisten ist gegenwärtig in mehr als 200 Ländern vertreten und hat 19.5 Millionen Mitglieder. Sie verwaltet tausende Bildungs- und Gesundheitseinrichtungen, Gesundkostwerke und eine weltweite Hilfsorganisation. Alle drei Minuten wird eine neue Gemeinde gegründet. Für diese größte Filmproduktion, die jemals zur Geschichte der Freikirche gemacht wurde, schrieben H. G. Sloan und Aaron Harzler das Drehbuch, Regie führte Kyle Portbury, und Allan Lindsay, George Knight und James Nix fungierten als Berater. Der Film zeigt die schwierigen Anfänge der Kirche. Ungewissheit, Zweifel, Tod und Armut waren die Herausforderungen dieser damaligen Pioniere. Wer sich „Tell the World“ anschaut, wird wahrscheinlich an die eigene religiöse Erfahrung erinnert, und der Schluss liegt nahe, dass sowohl die Enttäuschung als auch der spätere Erfolg dieser Bewegung der Schlüssel zu ihrer Entwicklung auf allen Ebenen war. Dieser Film will aufzeigen, dass dieselbe Botschaft, die zunächst für Tausende eine Enttäuschung war, inzwischen Millionen Menschen Hoffnung vermittelt: Jesus kommt bald!

This week on ANN. The Harbor of Hope Adventist Church in Benton Harbor, Michigan recently held The Final Play, an event that brought families together to set the tone for a positive, productive, and peaceful summer in the city on June 10-13. The four-day event had several components, including exhibit booths, giveaways, community service, food vendors, a talent show, and community grants. In addition, representatives from more than 20 organizations shared information on health and wellness, financial literacy, education, and other topics with attendees. In Ghana, the Seventh-day Adventist Church joined the national government’s “Green Ghana Project” tree-planting drive on June 11. The initiative aims to plant 5 million trees in a single day. Local Adventist leaders project that their members, institutions, administrative offices, schools, and hospitals will grow 1 million out of the 5 million trees. Instituto Água Viva, in partnership with the Adventist Development and Relief Agency in Brazil, set up a small medical center with dental, clinical, psychological, and psychiatric care, all free for low-income people. The clinic saw ten patients a day to avoid contamination by COVID-19. Due to the lack of easily accessible dental care, tooth decay and other oral problems have been growing in large, needy communities. An MRI Tech at AdventHealth Orlando was reunited with his son, who currently serves in the United States Air Force. The son surprised his father with the help of the AdventHealth Orlando Imaging director to make this reunion happen. Adventist Mission shared a piece of exciting news about the Adventist University of Venezuela’s growth. In 2016, the Adventist University of Venezuela opened a center of influence for students to learn English, Portuguese and French. Since then, the center has evolved and now opens its door to the entire community—reaching people who have never heard the Adventist message.

The three angels’ messages found in Revelation 14:6-12 have been at the heart of the Seventh-day Adventist message and mission ever since the beginning of this movement. These messages are prophetic, illustrating the reliability of God's Word, and proclaiming the most serious warnings found in Scripture. The first angel's message brings the everlasting gospel to the entire world—a call to worship God as Creator and announcing the hour of His judgment. The second builds upon the first, proclaiming that Babylon—a false system of worship that rejects the proclamation of the first angel, accepts the delusions of Satan and unites with the world—is fallen. The third angel's message brings to light the mark of the beast, in contrast to God's true Sabbath as the seal of God, urging people not to receive the mark. Seventh-day Adventists are familiar with the content of these messages, but how often do we proclaim them, other than in public evangelistic meetings? Ellen White shares this important insight: "The angels are represented as flying in the midst of heaven, proclaiming to the world a message of warning, and having a direct bearing upon the people living in the last days of this earth's history. No one hears the voice of these angels, for they are a symbol to represent the people of God who are working in harmony with the universe of heaven. Men and women, enlightened by the Spirit of God, and sanctified through the truth, proclaim the three messages in their order" (Life Sketches, p. 429). We all are called to proclaim these life-saving messages, but how to do so in an angelic way? Here are three practical aspects to keep in mind: 1. Believe the messages personally and allow them to transform our hearts. We cannot authentically present a message as true if we ourselves are in doubt. Now is the time to carefully study the three angels' messages and let their meaning sink in deeply. 2. Allow God's Spirit to fill us with a deep, Christlike love for everyone. 3. Use Biblically based methods to share the complete message. God is changing the hearts of those who hear these marvelous messages. The Holy Spirit moves in the minds of individuals who need to make a decision for Christ, and what a privilege is ours to be used as God's instruments to reach others for Him! Only by relying completely on Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit will we be able to accomplish anything. God is preparing us for something very unusual that will soon happen—the outpouring of the latter rain of the Holy Spirit. Let the second coming of Christ and His three angels' messages be proclaimed by every Seventh-day Adventist around the world, because Jesus is coming soon!

We, as humans, are called to tend and keep the earth, to cultivate it. We are here to take care of what’s around us. The influence that we have over the planet and its resources is a big responsibility. This is God’s creation after all. Blog: https://www.ibelievebible.com/tend-keep-creation-subdue-the-earth/ ___
