ATSS: Warren Trenchard, “The Three Angels: Then, and Now”
21 February 2024 | The imagery of Revelation has fascinated and challenged Christians for centuries. Most—including Adventists—came to see these as predictions of events throughout history and anticipations of present realities or current entities. This is especially true of Seventh-day Adventists’ self-proclaimed status as the Remnant Church. Central to this self-understanding is the historic Adventist […] Source: https://atoday.org/atss-trenchard-three-angels/

Thursday: Blessings of Righteous Living
Daily Lesson for Thursday 22nd of February 2024
Read Psalms 1:1-3, Psalms 112:1-9, and Psalms 128:1-6. What blessings are promised for those who revere the Lord?
Of the many blessings promised to those who revere the Lord, peace is perhaps one of the greatest. Psalms 1:1-6 depicts the righteous by a simile of a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruits in season and whose leaf does not wither (Psalms 1:3; Jeremiah 17:7-8; Ezekiel 47:12).

This simile identifies the source of all blessings, namely, abiding in God’s presence in His sanctuary and enjoying uninterrupted and loving relationship with God. Unlike the wicked, who are portrayed as chaff, with no stability, place, and future, the righteous are like a fruitful tree with roots, a place near God and eternal life.
Psalms 128:2, 3 evokes the blessings of the Messianic kingdom, where sitting under one’s own vine and fig tree is a symbol of peace and prosperity (Micah 4:4). The blessing of peace upon Jerusalem (Psalms 122:6-8; Psalms 128:5-6) conveys hope in the Messiah, who will end evil and restore peace in the world.
“In the Bible the inheritance of the saved is called ‘a country.’ Hebrews 11:14-16. There the heavenly Shepherd leads His flock to fountains of living waters. The tree of life yields its fruit every month, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations. There are ever-flowing streams, clear as crystal, and beside them waving trees cast their shadows upon the paths prepared for the ransomed of the Lord. There the wide-spreading plains swell into hills of beauty, and the mountains of God rear their lofty summits. On those peaceful plains, beside those living streams, God’s people, so long pilgrims and wanderers, shall find a home.”—Ellen G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 675.
The New Testament describes the fulfillment of that hope in Christ’s second advent and the creation of the new world (Matthew 26:29, Revelation 21:1-27). Therefore, while the righteous receive many blessings in this life, the fullness of God’s favor awaits them when God’s kingdom is fully restored at the end of time.
Why is the Cross, and what happened there, the guarantee of the promises found in the New Testament of what God has in store for us? How can we get comfort from those promises even now?
