Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, cola, chocolate, and a variety of other things. Caffeine is an addictive drug. It operates on the brain, using the same mechanisms as amphetamines, cocaine, and heroin to stimulate the brain.
Although it is milder than the other drugs, it is manipulating the same channels. This is one of the reasons it is addictive. If you think that you cannot function every day without it, and must consume it every day, you are addicted to caffeine.
So What Is Caffeine?
Caffeine in its pure form is a white, alkaloid, crystalline powder that tastes very bitter. Another name for this white caffeine powder is trimethylxanthine, which has a chemical formula of C8H10N402.
Physicians use it as a cardiac stimulant and also as a mild diuretic (increases urine production). But many regular people take it to “boost their energy” or for the feeling of alertness it gives. It is often used to help people stay awake longer during sleeping hours.
The body is obviously tired and needs rest; but, instead, a dose of caffeine is given to it to keep it in action.
Taking away sleep from a tired body is amongst the worst things one can ever do. The caffeine, when taken, repeatedly pushes the body into greater activity when it wants to stop for rest, and this gradually damaged the body.
Instead of recovering, organs gradually weaken. Eventually, the weakest ones become diseased, and the person wonders why it happened.
Caffeine occurs naturally in many plants, including coffee beans, tea leaves, and cocoanuts. Because of this, it is found in a wide variety of food products. In addition, caffeine is added to many other foods, including beverages.
What are some of the things you’re drinking that contain caffeine?
1. Coffee: – A Typical drip-brewed coffee contains: 100 milligrams (mg.) per 6-ounce cup. 200 milligrams (mg.) per 12-ounce cup. 234 milligrams (mg.) per 14-ounce cup. 334 milligrams (mg.) per 20-ounce cup.
That is a lot of caffeine!
2. Tea: – A Typical brewed tea contains: 70 milligrams (mg.) in each 6-oz. cup.
3. Cola drinks: – Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc., contain: 50 milligrams (mg.) per 12-oz. can. Jolt contains 70 mg. per 12-oz. can.
4. Chocolate: – Typical milk chocolate contains: 6 milligrams (mg.) per oz.
5. Drugs: – Anacin contains 32 mg. per tablet. No-doz contains 100 mg. per tablet. Vivarin and Dexatrim contain 200 mg. per tablet.
When you sit down and calculate the amount of caffeine that you have consumed, you might be surprised to know that you are probably taking in a gram (1000 mg) each day, without realizing it.
And What does caffeine do when it gets into the body?
As your body becomes fatigued, adenosine is made in the brain and binds to adenosine receptors. This causes drowsiness by slowing nerve cell activity. You want to stop and rest. You want to go to sleep. This is good, for you need the rest. In the brain, adenosine also causes blood vessels to dilate (enlarge), so more oxygen can reach the brain during sleep.
But when caffeine is taken into the stomach, it travels quickly to the brain. Once there, it does what adenosine normally does; it binds to the adenosine nerve receptors. But, instead of slowing cellular activity, it speeds it up. The cell can no longer bind with adenosine because caffeine is linked up with all its available receptors.
The cell begins accelerating its activity. Because adenosine is shut out, the brain’s blood vessels began to constrict (narrow). The increased neuron firing in the brain awakens the pituitary gland to action. Some kind of emergency must be taking place! So the pituitary signals the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline (epinephrine), the “fight or flight” hormone.
The longer-term effects of using caffeine tend to spiral down. Once the adrenaline wears off, you face even greater fatigue—and also depression. More caffeine is taken, and soon the body is jumping into emergency levels all day long. You become jumpy and irritable.
Because the half-life of caffeine is six hours, by the time you go to bed, you cannot get to sleep or you will not obtain the deep sleep you need. (If the last cup of coffee was taken at 3 p.m., by 9 p.m., you will still have 100 mg. in your body.) So the next morning you feel worse—and you need caffeine to get you out of bed. You have started another day, beating the horse. This is why 90% of Americans consume caffeine every day.
Is Jesus Christ, Michael the Archangel? To answer this question, we have to go into the Bible.
Let’s begin by reading Jude 1:9 it says “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.”
So Who is this Michael?
The Bible says in Daniel 12:1 “And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people:”
Answer: Michael is the Great Prince
So, What does it mean to be a “great prince?”
Let’s see what the Bible has to say in Daniel 8:25. It reads “And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.”
Answer: It means to be Prince of princes.
Who is the “Prince of princes?”
Dan 9:25 “Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.”
Answer: “the Messiah.”
But Why is the Messiah The Prince of Princes?
The Bible says in John 4:25 “The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.”
Isa 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Answer: He is the Prince of Peace, the Mighty God, Jesus Christ, Our Saviour!
So, Is Jesus Christ, Michael the Archangel?
According to what just read from the Bible, Michael the great prince, is the prince of princes, the messiah, who is Christ Jesus, The Mighty God, The Prince of Peace, Our Saviour!
So Yes. Jesus Christ is Michael the Archangel.

Good day, we promised you a video of meat alternatives since we provided you with the info about the different diseases and health risks that the consumption of meat leads to.
Persons are now waking up to the unhealthy lifestyle that they live and are switching to a healthier choice. These persons tend to have difficulties finding different sources of proteins to replace the meat, well not to worry, Advent Cry is here to deliver plant-based proteins that are not only healthy, delicious, and scrumptious, but easy to make meals.
The world is fastly catching on that meat of all kinds, whether red or processed is one of the main things that are causing them to be ill and is working on exterminating the causes of such.
So with that being said, here are 7 protein-rich alternatives to meat or meat substitutes that will help to take the deadly meat out of your diet and out of your kitchen.
1. Lintels
NutritionData stated that 1 cup of lintels contains an amazing 17.9 grams of protein.
SpringerLink has published a study in April of 2013 where they found out that lintel reduces hypertension, high cholesterol, lower blood sugar and has anticarcinogenic properties.
2. Chickpeas, also known as (garbanzo beans)
According to NutritionData, 1 cup of chickpeas contains a whopping 14.5grams of protein.
Not only that, studies from the National Institutes of Health have shown that consuming chickpea reduces weight, lowers the risk of heart disease and aids in the prevention of cancer.
3. Pinto Beans
It is highlighted by NutritionData, that 1 cup of this bean contains 15.4 grams of protein.
The National Institutes of Health informs us that Pinto bean reduces bad cholesterol, lowers sugar level and produces good gut bacteria called propionate.
4. Kidney Beans
Information from NutritionData, shows that 1 cup of Kidney beans contains 13.4 grams of protein.
National Institutes of Health states that Kidney beans help with the slow absorption of sugar in the bloodstream hence causing a reduction in blood sugar. Kidney beans also lower the risk of weight gain, diabetes and also metabolic syndrome.
5. Split peas
There are three types of split peas; green, red, and yellow. Studies from Livestrong tells us that 1/2 cup of split peas has 8 grams of protein, so that means 1 cup contains 16 grams of protein.
Livestrong published an article stating that Split peas lower the risk of high cholesterol and heart disease. They also stated that split peas are rich in the amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan is needed to manufacture the brain chemical serotonin, which regulates mood, appetite, hunger, and sleep.
6. Black Beans
NutritionData has made it clear that 1 cup of Black Beans contains an excellent 15.2 grams of protein.
Not only that but the National Institutes of Health informs us that Black beans may reduce spikes in blood sugar that occurs after eating a meal and as a result, it may help to reduce the risk of developing diabetes and weight gain.
7. Soybeans
It is pointed out by NutritionData that 1 cups of Soybeans contain a large sum of protein, which is 28.6 grams.
A study published by the National Institutes of Health found that eating a large sum of soybeans, lower the risk of stomach and other gastrointestinal cancers by 15%.
has concluded that processed meat is carcinogenic to human and stated that it is a major contributor to colorectal cancer.
According to the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research… There is strong evidence that consuming red meat and process meat increases the risk of Colorectal Cancer.
Other studies published by the National Institutes of Health… found that colorectal cancer is not the only risk from consuming red and processed meat, but eating 50 grams of processed meat daily, put you at risk of developing prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer and eating 20 grams of meat increases breast cancer in women. That is less than half the size of a regular hot dog.
So there you go with strong scientific evidence indicating that eating meat is deadly, but I would like you to know that before all these health institutions were formed and before all these scientific research were done, There was a prophetess known by the name Ellen G White who stated clearly, that eating meat causes cancer.
Here are a few quotes from her books written over a hundred years ago.
The first quote is taken from the book {Healthful Living, page 100.7} She says “Cancers, tumors, and various other inflammatory diseases are largely caused by meat eating. From the light which God has given me, the prevalence of cancers and tumors is largely due to gross living on dead flesh.’ {Health Living 100.7}
This other quote is taken from a periodical called {Bible Training School, August 1, 1907 par. 2} under the topic “Healthful Diet” She says:”The meat diet is the serious question. Shall human beings live on the flesh of dead animals? The answer, from the light that God has given is, No; decidedly no. Health reform institutions should educate on this question. Physicians who claim to understand the human organism ought not to encourage their patients to subsist on the flesh of dead animals. They should point out the increase of disease in the animal kingdom. The testimony of examiners is that very few animals are free from disease, and that the practice of eating largely of flesh is contracting diseases of all kinds,–cancers, tumors, scrofula and tuberculosis, and etc. If man will subsist on the food that God has so abundantly provided without having it first pass into the animal organism and become sinew and muscle, and then take it second hand by eating of the corpse, his health would be much better preserved.” {Bible Training School, August 1, 1907 par. 2}
She also stated in this other book known as {Counsel on Diet and Foods 388.4} that “Those who use flesh foods little know what they are eating. Often if they could see the animals when living and know the quality of the meat they eat, they would turn from it with loathing. People are continually eating flesh that is filled with tuberculosis and cancerous germs. Tuberculosis, cancer, and other fatal diseases are thus communicated.”
So there you have it, even before these modern researches came about, this Prophetess of God solidly pointed out that meat eating causes cancer of all kinds.
As we have stated previously, this study entails the foundation of Adventism from its beginning. In this study about the foundations of SDA, we will be looking at some dates pinpointed by Ellen G. White in her testimony from God, so let us get started.
1840 to 1844
OTTOMAN SOLDIERS 1840. All Credits of this photo goes to the public domain of Wikipedia
Let us read (The Great Controversy, page 334, par.4 to page 335, par. 1) It says “In the year 1840another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. Two years before, Josiah Litch, one of the leading ministers preaching the second advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire. According to his calculations, this power was to be overthrown “in A.D. 1840, sometime in the month of August;” and only a few days previous to its accomplishment he wrote: “Allowing the first period, 150 years, to have been exactly fulfilled before Deacozes ascended the throne by permission of the Turks, and that the 391 years, fifteen days, commenced at the close of the first period, it will end on the 11th of August, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople may be expected to be broken. And this, I believe, will be found to be the case.”–Josiah Litch, in Signs of the Times, and Expositor of Prophecy, Aug. 1, 1840. {GC 334.4} At the very time specified, Turkey, through her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe, and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction. (See Appendix.) When it became known, multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates, and a wonderful impetus was given to the advent movement. Men of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and in publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.” {GC 335.1}
Let us also read (Manuscript Releases, Volume 21, page 437, par.1) It says “All the messages given from 1840-1844 are to be made forcible now, for there are many people who have lost their bearings. The messages are to go to all the churches.” {21MR 437.1}
From what we have just read, we see clearly that before the year 1840 a prediction was made by a man named, Josiah Litch. He used the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller to conclude that the Ottoman Empire would tumble on August 11, 1840. TheOttoman Empire fell on the exact date predicted and as a result of this, many persons see the principles as correct, power was given to the movement and the work rapidly extended from 1840 to 1844.
We also see that All the messages from 1840 to 1844must be made forcible now.
With that in mind, let’s move on.
1841 to 1844
All the credits of this photo go to lineagejourney.com
We are reading from (Miscellaneous Collections, page 85, par.7) It says “The truths that we received in 1841, ’42, ’43 and ’44 are now to be studied and proclaimed. The messages of the first, second, and third angels will in the future be proclaimed with a loud voice.” {LLM 85.7}
We will also read from (Pamphlets, page 12, par. 1) It says “He will be with us in 1906, as He was with us in 1841, 1842, 1843, and 1844 Oh, what wonderful evidences we had then of the presence of God with us. In the earlier stages of our work, we had many difficulties to meet, and we gained many victories.” {PH095 12.1}
Now, here we just read that the truths received in 1841, ’42, ’43 and ’44 are now to be studied and proclaimed and that God was with the people proclaiming the Truths.
Let us continue.
1842 to 1844
1843 foundation chart created in 1842
Notice this quote from (Evangelism, page 284, par.2) It says “This is the manner in which it was proclaimed in 1842, 1843, and 1844. . . . No unnecessary words were uttered by the speaker, but the Scripture was clearly presented. Frequently a call would be made for those who believed the truths that were proved by the Word, to rise to their feet, and large numbers would respond. Prayers were offered in behalf of those who wished special help.–Manuscript 105, 1906.”{Ev 284.2}
Also, notice this quote from (The General Conference Bulletin, April 6, 1903 par. 35) which says “The warning has come: Nothing is to be allowed to come in that will disturb the foundation of the faith upon which we have been building ever since themessage came in 1842, 1843, and 1844. I was in this message, and ever since I have been standing before the world, true to the light that God has given us. We do not propose to take our feet off the platform on which they were placed as day by day we sought the Lord with earnest prayer, seeking for light. Do you think that I could give up the light that God has given me? It is to be as the Rock of Ages. It has been guiding me ever since it was given. Brethren and sisters, God lives and reigns and works today. His hand is on the wheel, and in His providence He is turning the wheel in accordance with His own will. Let not men fasten themselves to documents, saying what they will do and what they will not do. Let them fasten themselves to the Lord God of heaven. Then the light of heaven will shine into the soul-temple, and we shall see the salvation of God.” {GCB, April 6, 1903 par. 35} 👆 👆 From the quotes that we have just read, Ellen G. White clearly stated that nothing must disturb thefoundation of the faith upon which they have been building ever since themessage came in 1842, 1843, and 1844.
Which message came to them in 1842?
1843 foundation chart created in 1842
To answer this question, let us read (Spirit of Prophecy, Volume 4, page 241 par. 2) It says “As early as 1842, the Spirit of God had moved upon Charles Fitch to devise the prophetic chart, which was generally regarded by Adventists as a fulfillment of the command given by the prophet Habakkuk, “to write the vision and make it plain upon tables.”{4SP 241.2}
Let us read another quotation from (Early Writing, page 74, par.1) It says “I have seen that the 1843 chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and that it should not be altered; that the figures were as He wanted them; that His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until His hand was removed.” {EW 74.1}
Answer: The Message of Habakkuk 2 that suggest to Charles Fitch to devise the 1843 prophetic chart
This leads us to our next question…
Which message came to them in 1843?
To answer this question, let’s read the last verse of (Habakkuk 2:2) It says “though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”
Let us also read from (Testimonies For The Church, Volume 1, page 52, par.3) It says “It was not at first perceived that if the decree did not go forth at the beginning of the year 457 B.C., the 2300 years would not be completed at the close of 1843. But it was ascertained that the decree was given near the close of the year 457 B.C., and therefore the prophetic period must reach to the fall of the year 1844. Therefore the vision of time did not tarry, though it had seemed to do so. We learned to rest upon the language of the prophet. “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” {1T 52.3}
The message that came in 1843 was another portion of the same message of Habakkuk 2 which the brethren discovered early in 1844 that they were in the tarrying time. Of course, the year 1843 was already on the chart called the 1843 Chart that was created in 1842.
The message of Habakkuk 2 is to be combined with that of Matthew 25.
Foundation was finished Laid/Created in 1842 on the 1843 Chart
1843 foundation chart created in 1842
Earlier we read that there was a fulfillment of prophecy in 1840, and that they have received truths in 1841. Also, it was stated thatAll the messages from 1840 to 1844must be made forcible now. But we have just read that nothing must disturb the foundation of the faith upon which they have been building ever since themessage came in 1842. We also learned that the message that came in 1842 has been identified as the Message of Habakkuk 2, to write the vision and make it plain upon tables.
We can now clearly see that the foundational messagesfrom 1840 were all placed on the 1843 charts in the year 1842. Thus fulfilling part of the Command given by Habakkuk 2 to write the vision and make it plain upon tables.
What is a foundation?
Meriam-Webster Definition of foundation: a basis (such as a tenet, principle, or axiom) upon which something stands or is supported
So in reality, the foundation actually began in 1840 where the Principles were first confirmed to be correct when the prediction came to pass on the exact date and all the messages and truths that the Millerites were proclaiming from 1840 to early 1844 were summed up and placed on a Prophetic Chart Created in 1842, called the 1843 Chart. Thus is it concluded that the foundation was laid in 1842. Let’s continue a bit more… A while back, we read from(The General Conference Bulletin, April 6, 1903 par. 35) that “We do not propose to take our feet off the platform“ This leads to the next question…
What is a Platform
Meriam-Webster Definition of platform: 1 : PLAN, DESIGN 2 : a declaration of the principles on which a group of persons stands.
Now let us read a quotation from (Early Writings, page 258, par. 3) It says “I was again brought down through these messages, and saw how dearly the people of God had purchased their experience. It had been obtained through much suffering and severe conflict. God had led them along step by step, until He had placed them upon asolid, immovable platform. I saw individuals approach the platform and examine the foundation. Some with rejoicing immediately stepped upon it. Others commenced to find fault with the foundation. They wished improvements made, and then the platform would be more perfect, and the people much happier. Some stepped off the platform to examine it and declared it to be laid wrong.But I saw that nearly all stood firm upon the platform and exhorted those who had stepped off to cease their complaints; for God was the Master Builder, and they were fighting against Him. They recounted the wonderful work of God, which had led them to the firm platform, and in union raised their eyes to heaven and with a loud voice glorified God. This affected some of those who had complained and left the platform, and they with humble look again stepped upon it. {EW 258.3}
So here we have just read that persons approach the platform and examine the foundation.
It is therefore evident that the Platform was Built upon the foundation.
The Platform 1850 Chart Created in 1850
Notice this quote again from (The General Conference Bulletin, April 6, 1903 par. 35) which says “The warning has come: Nothing is to be allowed to come in that will disturb the foundation of the faithupon which we have beenbuilding ever since themessage came in 1842, 1843, and 1844. I was in this message, and ever since I have been standing before the world, true to the light that God has given us. We do not propose to take our feet off the platform.“
It is clearly stated that they have been building upon the foundation ever since the message came. We can now more firmly say that it was theplatform that was being built upon the foundation.
You may have read this quote in our previous studies, but let us read it again ( Manuscripts Releases volume 13, page 359, par.1) It says “I saw that God was in the publishment of the chart by Brother Nichols. I saw that there was a prophecy of this chart in the Bible, and if this chart is designed for God’s people, if it [is] sufficient for one it is for another, and if one needed a new chart painted on a larger scale, all need it just as much.” {13MR 359.1}
Let us also read this quote again from (Manuscripts Releases volume 15, page 210 par.4) Which says “Monday we returned to Dorchester where our dear Brother Nichols and family live. There in the night God gave me a very interesting vision, the most of which you will see in the paper. God shewed me the necessity of getting out a chart. I saw it was needed and that the truth made plain upon tables would effect much and would cause souls to come to the knowledge of the truth.” {15MR 210.4}
Now this next quote that we are going to read is taken from a book published in the year 1977 by Pieter Gerard Damsteegt, called (Foundations of the Seventh-day Adventist Message and Mission, page 193, par.1) It says “In 1850 Nichols published a Pictorial Illustration of the Visions of Daniel and Johndesigned by Samuel W. Rhodes. On this chart the third angel was indicated by the motto “The Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus.” {1977 PGD, FSDA 193.1}
This other quote is taken from a book written by LEROY EDWIN FROOM called (The Conditionalist Faith of Our Fathers, Volume 4, page1071, par.2) It says “Then OTIS NICHOLS, engraver of Dorchester Massachusetts, a Boston suburb, published this first pictorial chart to be brought out after the Disappointment. Lithographed at Boston in December, 1850, itdiffers but little in general outline from the positions of the Millerites taught during the seventh month movement except in the expanded treatmentof the sanctuary and the flight of the third angel. About 30 by 40 inches, it is arranged in four vertical columns. The second column, which is rather narrow, is confined to chronological data, while the three larger ones dial systamatically with the symbols.” {1954 LEF, PFF4 1071.2}
Here are a few questions from the quotes we have just read:
What are some of the words used to describe this Chart?
The Platform 1850 Chart Created in 1850
Answer: It was also a fulfillment of Habakkuk 2, it was painted on a larger scale, the third angel was indicated by the motto “The Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus.”, itdiffers but little in general outline from the positions of the Millerites, It is an expansionof the 1843 chart with the added sanctuary message and the flight of the third angel.
😮Clearly, This 1850 Chart Was built upon the foundational 1843 Chart. It is, therefore, the Platform😮 Another question from the quotes that we have read…
When was this Chart created?
Answer: It was published in 1850, after the disappointment of October 22, 1844.
Let us look at October 22, 1844
The Platform 1850 Chart Created in 1850
Let’s read from (Maranatha, page 93, par.2) It says “In 1844 our great High Priest entered the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary, to begin the work of the investigative judgment.” {Mar 93.2}
Let us also read from (Manuscript Releases, Volume 16, page 177, par.3) It says “I have been shown that our disappointment in 1844 was not because of failure in the reckoning of prophetic periods, but in the events to take place. The earth was believed to be the sanctuary. But the sanctuary which was to be cleansed at the end of the prophetic periods was the heavenly sanctuary and not the earth as we all supposed. The Saviour did enter the most holy place in 1844 to cleanse the sanctuary, and the investigative judgment had commenced for the dead.” {16MR 177.3}
Also reading from (The Story of Redemption) It says “Since 1844, in fulfillment of the prophecy of the third angel’s message, the attention of the world has been called to the true Sabbath, and a constantly increasing number are returning to the observance of God’s holy day.” {SR 383.4}
Let us also consider this quote from (Spiritual Gifts, Volume 1, page 207, par.1) It says “After Jesus opened the door of the Most Holythe light of the Sabbath was seen, and the people of God were to be tested and proved, as God proved the children of Israel anciently, to see if they would keep his law. I saw the third angel pointing upward, showing the disappointed ones the way to the Holiest of the heavenly Sanctuary. They followed Jesus by faith into the Most Holy. Again they have found Jesus, and joy and hope spring up anew. I saw them looking back reviewing the past, from the proclamation of the second advent of Jesus, down through their travels to the passing of the time in 1844.” {1SG 163.1}
From all these quotes that we have just read, we can clearly see that all the messages that were built upon the foundational 1843 Chart, came when Jesus Enter the Most Holy Place in 1844 and this led to the Creation of the platform, the 1850 Chart.
Christ is the foundation of our Faith
One may now argue that Christ is the foundation of our faith. We would reply by saying that you are correct because Christ is in the Middle of Both the 1843 and 1850 Chart. Also, Christ is the Word and the 1843 and 1850 Charts were Created from the Word.
The Sanctuary Message is the Foundation of our Faith
Another may argue that the sanctuary message is the foundation of our faith. We would reply by saying that you are also correct because the Sanctuary Message, The Sabbath and the Third Angel’s Message were all Added to the 1850 Chart.
Do we need these Charts?
Some may say that we don’t need these charts, but let those who say such thing consider the following quotations:
The book (Lift Him Up, page 130, par.4) Says “The Bible is a chart, showing us the waymarks of truth. Those who are acquainted with this chart will be enabled to tread with certainty in the path of duty, wherever they may be called to go.” {LHU 130.4}
The book (Evangelism, page 203, par.2) Says “Instruction has been given me clearly and distinctly that charts should be used in the presentation of truth. And these illustrations should be made still more impressive by words showing the importance of obedience. –Letter 51, 1902. {Ev 203.2}
The book (Evangelism, page 203, par.3) also Says “The use of charts is most effective in explaining the prophecies relating to the past, the present, and the future. But we are to make our work as simple and inexpensive as possible. The truth is to be explained in simplicity. In no case are we to follow the example of outward display set by the world.–Manuscript 42, 1905.” {Ev 203.3}
We already know that the 1843 and 1850 charts were directed by God’s hands and not a pin should be removed from any of them. Furthermore; if we don’t like charts and see them as useless, then we can throw away the Bible because it is clearly stated that the Bible is a Chart.
Using the 1843 and 1850 Charts will, as the word of God says will grab the attention of your audience in explaining prophecies.
In Closing
My beloved brothers and sisters, the word of God says in (The General Conference Bulletin, April 6, 1903 par. 35) “We do not propose to take our feet off the platform” {GCB, April 6, 1903 par. 35}
Brethren, once we stand upon the platform, the 1850 Chart, we are also standing upon the foundation, the 1843 Chart because the platform is built upon the foundation.
Not only that, but as long as we stand firm on these Charts, we are surely standing firm upon all the messages that Seventh-Day Adventism was founded upon, we are standing upon the messages that uphold Adventism: The Sabbath, The Sanctuary, Christ, The First, Second and Third Angel and all the other messages that are on the 1843 and 1850 Charts.
We hope you were blessed by this study and May God bless you.
The Bible tells us in Genesis that in the beginning there was darkness and the earth was without form and void. Not only that but sin had entered this world and has caused the mind and hearts of men to become darkened, wicked and cruel.
However, there is only one who can wipe away this darkness, get rid of sin and enlighten the world and mankind. We will go in scripture now to answer the question about who is this One that is the light of the world.
What is light?
Ans: According to the Merriam Websters dictionary, it is something that makes vision possible.
What is this light that the Bible speaks of that makes vision possible?
(Psalms 119:105) “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
Ans: The word is the light unto my path
What Word brings this light?
(John 1:1,4 & 5) “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
Ans: The Word that was in the beginning with God and was God.
Now if we continue down to verse 14 of John 1, we will see that the Word that is the light became flesh and dwelled amongst men.
Who is the light that became flesh and lived amongst men?
(John 1:29) “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
(John 8:12) “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Ans: The light that became flesh amongst mankind is Jesus Christ
“They determined that they would not receive Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah. They rejected the Light of the world, and thenceforth their lives were surrounded with darkness as the darkness of midnight.” (Christ Object Lesson, page 295, par.3)
We clearly can pinpoint that the light of this world is Jesus Christ who came to Earth as a sacrifice for mankind yet we rejected the Holy One.
There is a lot of misconceptions out there about which day is the Lord’s day. I would like you to know that the Lord created and owns all seven days, but there is one day in particular that He called it His day.
Now, in order for us to know which day the Lord set aside and called His day, we have to go into the Bible. So Let’s begin.
Mar 2:28 “Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.“
Matthew 12:8 says “For the Son of manis Lord even of the sabbath day.“
Luke 19:10 says “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.“
Matthew 1:21 Says “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
So, we can see already from the above passages of scriptures that the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath day and the Son of Man Is Jesus.
But let us continue to establish this some more from the word of God.
The book of (Exo 20:10) says“But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it, thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates”
Exo 20:11 “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. “
Luk 6:5 “And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath.”
Conclusion:
From the scriptures given upon, we can clearly see that the Saturday, which is the Sabbath is the Lord’s day and not Sunday as some have falsely claimed.
We hope this has answered your question and God bless.
