To learn of the Allusions, Images and Symbols in Bible Prophecy we are really in great need of saying to God 
Give Me The Bible – Hymn 272 so we are able to learn with His abundant help. This will be our theme for this, the second quarter of Bible Study, 2025.

Sabbath afternoon shows us 
Worthy, Worthy Is The Lamb – Hymn 246, the Lamb of God.

Genesis is given to us on Sunday where we will discover the general understanding of concept and symbols. All of this we can sing in 
God Who Spoke In The Beginning – Hymn 87. The truth is then presented further in the day’s study where we will find that 
This Is The Three-Fold Truth – Hymn 203.

Our God of love is presented to us on Monday and we learn more of this in 
God Is Love – Hymn 349.

Tuesday reminds us of the Sabbath afternoon introduction with 
Worthy, Worthy Is The Lamb – Hymn 246, and then finalizes with 
Jesus Paid It All – Hymn 184.

Worship is the big issue on Thursday. My choice is to say 
O Worship The Lord – Hymn 6 and O Worship The King – Hymn 83.

The quote from Ellen G White on Friday talks of our anchor. The big question for me is 
Will Your Anchor Hold? – Hymn 534. By God’s merciful grace, He will help me to hold to this anchor.

Please continue to search the scriptures this week to be blessed, and to bless others.

To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/

 Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org/Search and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.

 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

Key Thought: Genesis lays out the path that our world descended into sinful chaos. Nearly every concept mentioned in Revelation appears in the book of Genesis.
April 12, 2025

1. Have a volunteer read Isaiah 40:7,8, Malachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8.

2. What principle can you find in these texts that would help you in your study of prophecy?
3. Personal Application: If you don’t understand something in the Bible, or an apparent contradiction, how do you try to understand it properly? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “There are people that say the Book of Mormon or the Koran are perfect, bu the Bible has errors in it. They accept the Bible in part, but rely on their own writings as more perfect.? How would you respond to your relative?

2. Have a volunteer read Genesis 22:7,8; Exodus 12:3-13; Revelation 15:5-10.

3. Personal Application: Why is knowing that Jesus is our substitute so foundational to our salvation? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “I can’t grasp Jesus’ love in dying for my sins, but also for all the sins of all the people who have done terrible things. Why would He sacrifice for the murderers, rapists, thieves, adulterers, and deceivers in the world? I don’t ever think I could have that kind of love.” How would you respond to your friend?

Daily Lesson for Tuesday 8th of April 2025

The Bible’s first mention of a seh (Hebrew: a lamb) occurs in the same story as the first mention of love: Genesis 22:1-24. The lamb, of course, is one of the most persistent symbols found in the book of Revelation, in which Jesus is called “the Lamb” more than 20 times. In one of the most powerful scenes of Revelation—John’s visit to the throne room of God in chapters four and five—the Lamb plays the central role.

The first mention of a seh (lamb) in the Bible comes in the form of Isaac’s question: “Where is the lamb?” (Genesis 22:7). Interestingly enough, the rest of the Bible answers that question in great detail. The other 38 books of the Old Testament lead the reader along a path where Isaac’s question is progressively answered with more and more details, from the Passover rituals to David’s early occupation and onward. The entire story is punctuated with countless Messianic prophecies that anticipate the answer to Isaac’s question. Then in the New Testament, the question is answered when Jesus appears in flesh and blood, ministers among His people, and finally sacrifices His life at the cross.

Meanwhile, look at the first mention of a Lamb in John’s Gospel, in John 1:29-34. It would almost seem as if John the Baptist is personally answering Isaac’s question, and the setting couldn’t be more apropos. Sinners are repenting and going under the water in baptism, symbolizing the death of the sinner and the beginning of a new life. In this context, Jesus, the Lamb of God, suddenly appears and, according to Matthew’s account, the heavens open to announce Him: “ ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased’ ” (Matthew 3:17, NKJV). Notice how a voice, the Angel of the Lord, also announces from heaven the solution to Abraham and Isaac’s problem (Genesis 22:11-14).

When you weave all the threads together, it is clear that Jesus, the Lamb of God, is our Substitute. That sheds much light on our understanding of the slain Lamb in John’s vision.
