Isaiah 53

The document discusses the importance of preaching on key doctrines like the sanctuary, 2300 day prophecy, and the commandments of God. It warns against messengers dwelling on topics that don't unite or sanctify God's people. Satan will take advantage to harm the cause. The sanctuary, 2300 days, and commandments of God perfectly explain the past Advent movement and show our present position. The document also discusses the day of atonement and individual preparation needed.

THE MESSAGE IS TITLED

IN ALL POINTS!
BUCKLE UP
SCRIPTURE READING 2 PETER 1 ENTIRE CHAPTER
 I saw the necessity of the messengers, especially, watching and
checking all fanaticism wherever they might see it rise. Satan is
pressing in on every side, and unless we watch for him, and have
our eyes open to his devices and snares, and have on the whole
armor of God, the fiery darts of the wicked will hit us. There are
many precious truths contained in the Word of God, but it is
“present truth” that the flock needs now. I have seen the danger
of the messengers running off from the important points
of present truth, to dwell upon subjects that are not calculated to
unite the flock and sanctify the soul. Satan will here take every
possible advantage to injure the cause.

COMMENTARY ON THE VERSE


 The doctrine asserts that all humans have access to God through Christ, the true high
priest, and thus do not need a priestly mediator. This introduced a democratic
element in the functioning of the church that meant all Christians were equal.
 King James Version

 1 PETER 2 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar

people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light;
 REVELATIN 5 9 AND 10And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book,

and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy
blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

ACCESS GRANTED
 23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 24
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall
ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
 25
Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
 26
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
 27
Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy
convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto
the LORD.
 28
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for
you before the LORD your God.
 29
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from
among his people.

LEVITICUS 23:23-29
 We are now living in the great day of atonement. In the typical service, while the high priest was
making the atonement for Israel, all were required to afflict their souls by repentance of sin and
humiliation before the Lord, lest they be cut off from among the people. In like manner, all who
would have their names retained in the book of life should now, in the few remaining days of their
probation, afflict their souls before God by sorrow for sin and true repentance. There must be deep,
faithful searching of heart. The light, frivolous spirit indulged by so many professed Christians must
be put away. There is earnest warfare before all who would subdue the evil tendencies that strive for
the mastery. The work of preparation is an individual work. We are not saved in groups. The purity
and devotion of one will not offset the want of these qualities in another. Though all nations are to
pass in judgment before God, yet He will examine the case of each individual with as close and
searching scrutiny as if there were not another being upon the earth. Everyone must be tested and
found without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. Solemn are the scenes connected with the closing
work of the atonement. Momentous are the interests involved therein. The judgment is now passing
in the sanctuary above. For many years this work has been in progress. Soon—none know how soon
—it will pass to the cases of the living. In the awful presence of God our lives are to come up in
review. At this time above all others it behooves every soul to heed the Saviour's admonition: “Watch
and pray: for ye know not when the time is.” Mark 13:33.

COUNSELS FOR THE CHURCH 348.5


WE HAVE SUCH AN HIGH PRIEST
There is a study of history that is not to be condemned.
Sacred history was one of the studies in the schools of the
prophets. In the record of His dealings with the nations were
traced the footsteps of Jehovah. So today we are to consider
the dealings of God with the nations of the earth. We are
to see in history the fulfilment of prophecy, to study the
workings of Providence in the great reformatory
movements, and to understand the progress of events in the
marshaling of the nations for the final conflict of the great
controversy.”—Testimonies for the Church 8:307.

it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the
transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden

 TIME FOR THE SRAIGHT TESTIMONY Surely the time has
come for every Seventh-day Adventist to learn about the sins
of
 Laodicea Laodicea -its worldliness, pride, etc.-and to join

those who will cry out against this nauseating mixture of flesh
and spirit. Ministers and members must be willing to risk
criticism in order to preach the Laodicean message. There are
a thousand more pleasant subjects, but the hour is too late to
substitute smooth things. Neither do the sleeping saints need
any more soothing messages. This is the hour for an
awakening.
REAPING THE WHIRLWIND
 If you think John the Baptist was too strong and direct in his
preaching, you may rise up against the kind of messages God is
leading men to proclaim today. Was John too blunt when he
called the king into question for being unlawfully married? If so,
we must be more blunt. Consider this statement:

CONTINUING…
 “In this fearful time, just before Christ is to come the second time, God’s faithful preachers will
have to bear a still more pointed testimony than was borne by John the Baptist. A responsible,
important work is before them; and those who speak smooth things, God will not
acknowledge as His shepherds. A fearful woe is upon them.” Testimonies, Vol. 1, p. 321. The
Public to Be Deeply Stirred
 All are bound by the most sacred obligations to God to heed the sound philosophy and
genuine experience which He is now giving them in reference to health reform. He designs
that the great subject of health reform shall be agitated, and the public mind deeply stirred to
investigate; for it is impossible for men and women, with all their sinful, health-destroying,
brain-enervating habits, to discern sacred truth, through which they are to be sanctified,
refined, elevated, and made fit for the society of heavenly angels in the kingdom of glory.—
Testimonies for the Church 3:162.

CONTINUING…..
 The fellow laborer of Moses, who was left with the solemn charge of the people in his
absence, heard them uttering complaints that Moses had left them, and expressing a
desire to return to Egypt; yet, through fear of offending the people, he was silent. He
did not stand up boldly for God, but to please the people he made a golden calf. He
seemed to be asleep to the beginning of the evil. When the first rebellious word was
spoken, Aaron might have checked it; but so fearful was he of offending the people
that he apparently united with them and was finally persuaded to make a golden calf
for them to worship. 4T 514.2
 Ministers should be faithful watchmen, seeing the evil and warning the people. Their
dangers must be set before them continually and pressed home upon them. The
exhortation given to Timothy was: “Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering
and doctrine.” 4T 515.1

 C.M. 131.1“Circulation of Health Publications—The circulation of our health publications is a
most important work. It is a work in which all who believe the special truths for this time should
have a living interest. God desires that now, as never before, the minds of the people shall be
deeply stirred to investigate the great temperance question and the principles underlying
true health reform....
 C.M. 131.2Religion and Health—True religion and the laws of health go hand in hand. It is
impossible to work for the salvation of men and women without presenting to them the need of
breaking away from sinful gratifications, which destroy the health, debase the soul, and prevent
divine truth from impressing the mind.—The Review and Herald, November 12, 1901.
 Health Reform an Entering Wedge—The gospel of health has able advocates, but their
work has been made very hard because so many ministers, presidents of conferences,
and others in positions of influence have failed to give the question of health reform its
proper attention. They have not recognized it in its relation to the work of the message
as the right arm of the body. While very little respect has been shown to this
department by many of the people, and by some of the ministers, the Lord has shown
His regard for it by giving it abundant prosperity. When properly conducted,
the health work is an entering wedge, making a way for other truths to reach the heart.
When the third angel's message is received in its fullness, health reform will be given
its place in the councils of the conference, in the work of the church, in the home, at the
table, and in all the household arrangements. Then the right arm will serve and protect
the body.—Testimonies for the Church 6:327 (1900).

 As religious aggression subverts the liberties of our nation, those who would stand for freedom of
conscience will be placed in unfavorable positions. For their own sake, they should, while they have
the opportunity, become intelligent in regard to disease, its causes, prevention, and cure. All those who
do this will find a field of labor anywhere. There will be suffering ones, plenty of them, who will need
help, not only among those of our own faith, but largely among those who know not the truth. The
shortness of time demands an energy that has not been aroused among those who claim to believe the
present truth.—Counsels on Health, 506. The Distinguishing Sign
 MY ADVICE TO US IS TO SEEK GOD AND GET HANDS OF EVERY PIECE OF MEDICAL
MISSIONARY INFORMATION THAT WE CAN, AND PLEAD WITH GOD TO GIVE US A FEW
MORE YEARS!
 True sympathy between man and his fellow men is to be the sign distinguishing those who love and
fear God from those who are unmindful of His law. How great the sympathy that Christ expressed in
coming to this world to give His life a sacrifice for a dying world! His religion led to the doing of
genuine medical missionary work. He was a healing power. “I will have mercy, and not sacrifice,” He
said. This is the test that the great Author of truth used to distinguish between true religion and false.
God wants His medical missionaries to act with the tenderness and compassion that Christ would
show were He in our world.—Medical Ministry, 251.

And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice
unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.

obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

disciples and to us? CME 12.2
 The world must have an antidote for sin. As the medical missionary works intelligently to relieve
suffering and save life, hearts are softened. Those who are helped are filled with gratitude. As the

 Sunday-Law Advocates Do Not Realize What They Are Doing
 The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true
issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is
tending.... They are working in blindness. They do not see that if a Protestant government sacrifices
the principles that have made them a free, independent nation, and through legislation brings into
the Constitution principles that will propagate papal falsehood and papal delusion, they are
plunging into the Roman horrors of the Dark Ages.—
The Review and Herald Extra, December 11, 1888. LDE 125.3
 There are many, even of those engaged in this movement for Sunday enforcement, who are blinded
to the results which will follow this action. They do not see that they are striking directly against
religious liberty. There are many who have never understood the claims of the Bible Sabbath and
the false foundation upon which the Sunday institution rests.... LDE 126.1
 Those who are making an effort to change the Constitution and secure a law enforcing Sunday
observance little realize what will be the result. A crisis is just upon us.—

AND THE MAN OF SIN
 Not to Sit in Quietude, Doing Nothing
 It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger.... A vast responsibility is devolving upon men
and women of prayer throughout the land to petition that God may sweep back this cloud of evil, and give a few
more years of grace to work for the Master.—The Review and Herald Extra, December 11, 1888. LDE 126.3
 Those who are now keeping the commandments of God need to bestir themselves that they may obtain the
special help which God alone can give them. They should work more earnestly to delay as long as possible the
threatened calamity.—The Review and Herald, December 18, 1888. LDE 126.4
 Let not the commandment-keeping people of God be silent at this time as though we gracefully accepted the
situation.—The S.D.A. Bible Commentary 7:975 (1889). LDE 127.1
 We are not doing the will of God if we sit in quietude, doing nothing to preserve liberty of conscience. Fervent,
effectual prayer should be ascending to heaven that this calamity may be deferred until we can accomplish the
work which has so long been neglected. Let there be most earnest prayer and then let us work in harmony with
our prayers.—Testimonies for the Church 5:714 (1889). LDE 127.2
 There are many who are at ease, who are, as it were, asleep. They say, “If prophecy has foretold the enforcement
of Sunday observance the law will surely be enacted,” and having come to this conclusion they sit down in a calm
expectation of the event, comforting themselves with the thought that God will protect His people in the day of
trouble. But God will not save us if we make no effort to do the work He has committed to our charge.... LDE

OUR WORK TODAY


 CHAPTER ON Strength in Prayer
 Daily beset by temptation, constantly opposed by the leaders of the people, Christ knew that He must
strengthen His humanity by prayer. In order to be a blessing to men, He must commune with God,
pleading for energy, perseverance, and steadfastness. Thus He showed His disciples where His strength lay. Without
this daily communion with God, no human being can gain power for service. Christ alone can direct the thoughts
aright. He alone can give noble aspirations and fashion the character after the divine similitude. If we draw
near to Him in earnest prayer, He will fill our hearts with high and holy purposes, and with deep longings for purity
and righteousness. The dangers thickening around us demand from those who have an experience in
the things of God, a watchful supervision. Those who walk humbly before God, distrustful of their own wisdom, will
realize their danger and will know God's keeping care. CT 323.2
 The power of a higher, purer, nobler life is our great need. The world is watching to see what fruit is borne by
professed Christians. It has a right to look for self-denial and self-sacrifice from those who believe advanced truth. It
is watching, ready to criticize with keenness and severity our words and acts. Everyone who acts a part in
the work of God is weighed in the scales of human discernment. Impressions favorable or unfavorable to Bible
religion are constantly being made on the minds of all with whom we have to do. CT 324.1
 And God and the angels are watching. God desires His people to show by their lives the advantage of Christianity

COUNSELS TO PARENTS
over worldliness, to show that they are working on a high, holy plane. He longs to see them showing that the truth
they have received has made them children of the heavenly King. He longs to make them channels through which
He can pour His boundless love and mercy. C.T. 324.2

TEACHERS AND STUDENTS


 When the work of the investigative judgment closes, the destiny of all will have been decided for
life or death. Probation is ended a short time before the appearing of the Lord in the clouds of
heaven. Christ in the Revelation, looking forward to that time, declares: “He that is unjust, let him
be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous let him be
righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and My
reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” Revelation 22:11, 12. CCh

 The righteous and the wicked will still be living upon the earth in their mortal state—men will be
planting and building, eating and drinking, all unconscious that the final, irrevocable decision has
been pronounced in the sanctuary above. CCh 349.2
 Silently, unnoticed as the midnight thief, will come the decisive hour which marks the fixing of
every man's destiny, the final withdrawal of mercy's offer to guilty men. CCH 349.3

 But such subjects as the sanctuary, in connection
with the 2300 days, the commandments of God
and the faith of Jesus, are perfectly calculated to
explain the past Advent movement and show what
our present position is, establish the faith of the doubting,
and give certainty to the glorious future. These, I have
frequently seen, were the principal subjects on
which the messengers should dwell.

EARLY WRITINGS 62.2


When the leading churches of the
United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine
as are held by them in
common, shall influence the state to enforce their
decrees and to sustain their institutions, then
Protestant America will have formed an image
of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil
penalties upon dissenters will inevitably
result. …..G.C.445.1

CURRENT EVENTS
Most Christians assume that Sunday is the biblically approved day of
worship. The Roman Catholic church protests that it transferred Christian
worship from the biblical Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday, and that to try to
argue that the change was made in the Bible is both dishonest and a denial
of Catholic authority. If Protestantism wants to base its teachings only on
the Bible, it should worship on Saturday

 Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with
humility consider others superior to you, 4 as you look out not
only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others.”
Philippians 2:3,4 NWT
 Prideful and haughty people put themselves in opposition to

God and that is not a good place to be.

because God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives


undeserved kindness to the humble ones” 1 Peter 5:5 NWT

 Gay pride or LGBT pride is the positive stance against discrimination and violence
toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people to promote their self-
affirmation, dignity, equality rights, increase their visibility as a social group, build
community, and celebrate sexual diversity and gender variance. Pride, as opposed to
shame and social stigma, is the predominant outlook that bolsters most LGBT rights
movements throughout the world. Pride has lent its name to LGBT-themed
organizations, institutes, foundations, book titles, periodicals, a cable TV station, and
the Pride Library.
 Ranging from solemn to carnivalesque, pride events are typically held during LGBT

Pride Month or some other period that commemorates a turning point in a country's
LGBT history, for example Moscow Pride in May for the anniversary of Russia's 1993
decriminalization of homosexuality. Some pride events include LGBT pride parades
and marches, rallies, commemorations, community days, dance parties, and festivals.

WHAT IS GAY PRIDE


Common symbols of pride are the

rainbow or pride flag, the lowercase


Greek letter lambda (λ), the pink
triangle and the black triangle, these
latter two reclaimed from use as
badges of shame in Nazi
concentration camps.[8]

 It is well known that the impressions made in childhood are most lasting.
The man eighty years old forgets the things that transpired a few years
ago, but he has no difficulty in recalling things which transpired in
childhood. How often, when sitting in quiet meditation, our minds turn
back to childhood days. Panorama like, one picture after another flashes
before us in quick succession, some of which we cherish. Among them
may be one or more dark pictures that we wish could be effaced; but they
are there to stay. It is through the special senses, especially the eyes and
ears, that character is formed—by beholding we become changed. How
important to be careful in the selection of reading matter for our children!
Even the pictures hung upon our walls should each contain a moral,
teaching compassion, love, usefulness, kindness, etc. GCB July 1, 1900, p.

 When the early church became corrupted by departing from the simplicity
of the gospel and accepting heathen rites and customs, she lost the Spirit
and power of God; and in order to control the consciences of the people,
she sought the support of the secular power. The result was the papacy, a
church that controlled the power of the state and employed it to further
her own ends, especially for the punishment of “heresy.” In order for the
United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power must so
control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be
employed by the church to accomplish her own ends. GC 443.2
