Прежде чем Великую Борьбу отправят миллионам, разве мы не должны узнать её эффективность?
Лорен Сейболд | 15 июня 2023 | Если бы вы управляли крупной компанией, то потратили бы вы миллиард долларов на рекламную кампанию, о которой нет свидетельства того, что она вообще работает? Именно этим и занимается Церковь Адвентистов седьмого дня. Позвольте мне сказать более точно. На самом деле никто не знает, принесет ли что-нибудь холодная рассылка «Великой борьбы» […] Source: https://atoday.org/%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b6%d0%b4%d0%b5-%d1%87%d0%b5%d0%bc-%d0%b2%d0%b5%d0%bb%d0%b8%d0%ba%d1%83%d1%8e-%d0%b1%d0%be%d1%80%d1%8c%d0%b1%d1%83-%d0%be%d1%82%d0%bf%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%b2%d1%8f%d1%82-%d0%bc%d0%b8/
Sunday: Preparing for the Final Crisis
Read 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6. What admonition does the apostle Paul give us regarding the last days of human history?
The apostle Paul urged the believers at Thessaloniki to “watch” and “be sober” in the context of the second coming of Christ. And if Paul would say that to believers then, what would he say to us today?

He also declared that they were “children of the light” (1 Thessalonians 5:5, NIV) and that they were not in “darkness so that this day” [the return of Christ] (1 Thessalonians 5:4, NIV) should overtake them “as a thief” (1 Thessalonians 5:4, NKJV). Jesus used the expression to “watch” in connection with earnest, heartfelt prayer (Matthew 24:42, Matthew 26:40-41). To watch is to be spiritually alert. To be sober minded is to be serious about the times that we are living in and focused on the things that really matter.
Ellen G. White adds: “We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.” — Testimonies for the Church, vol. 8, p. 28.
And while it might be a surprise to the world, it should not be a surprise for us. Though we don’t know when it will happen, we can see enough to know that it is coming, and that now, today, is the day to be ready.
Review Daniel 2:1-49, and note the sequence of kingdoms that came and went, exactly as predicted. What should this teach us about how we can trust that what God says will indeed happen?
Christ has given us these last-day messages so that, knowing what is coming, we can prepare for it. The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, combined with the modern gift of prophecy, give us divine insight into what is coming upon this world. The prophetic Word of God outlines salvation history in advance, and Daniel 2:1-49 provides powerful, rational evidence that we can trust God.
| Paul says not “to sleep” as others do. What does that mean, and how can we know if we are, indeed, sleeping and, if we are, what will it take to wake us? |
Amen!

Sabbath: Ablaze With God’s Glory

Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6; John 8:32; Revelation 18:1; Revelation 4:11; Exodus 33:18-19; Revelation 5:6, Revelation 5:12; Revelation 13:8.
Memory Text: “After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory” (Revelation 18:1, NKJV).
Sooner or later, final events will unfold. Exactly when, exactly how — we have not been told. But we have been told enough. Some kind of legislation enforcing Sunday-keeping, in contrast to Sabbath keeping, will occur. Revelation has revealed to us the crucial issues at stake, the crucial players involved, and in broad sweeps, it has told us what will happen when, in contrast to the worship of the One “who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water” (Revelation 14:7, NKJV), people — all “whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Revelation 13:8, NKJV) — will worship the beast and his image. In other words, all those who have chosen to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and obey His commandments — their names remain in the book of life. How much better to be in the register of God than in the records of man.
God has raised up the Seventh-day Adventist Church to preach this message to the world. Thus, we need, ourselves, to be converted to the truth as it is in Jesus, and to have been transformed and made new by the “everlasting gospel” of Revelation 14:6, which is centered on Christ’s death for us, the assurance of our salvation in Him.
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, June 24.
Amen!(0)
