When GOD Came Down
All through the Old Testament it appears in the words of the prophets that God the Father was mingling with men. Yet since the prophets of the New Testament added their inspired commentary, it doesn’t seem that it was so:
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
John 6:46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of […]
Unclean Spirits
Zechariah 13:2 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
- 2Chronicles 18:18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
- 2Chronicles 18:19 And the LORD said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another […]

The Sanctuary, the Cross, and the Third Angels` Message

Angels in Acts of the Apostles
Remember, angel is only one of the ways used in the writings of EGW to refer to God’s agents. Go to the context of any section copied and pasted below to learn more.
He has sent forth His angels to minister to His church, and the gates of hell have not been able to prevail against His people. AA 11.2
Look upon the touching scene. Behold the Majesty of heaven surrounded by the Twelve whom He has chosen. He is about to set them apart for their work. By these feeble agencies, through His word and Spirit, […]
Because of the Angels
Because of the Angels
Christ has a head – He is under the authority of His Father.
Man has a head – he is under the authority of Christ.
Woman has a head – she is under the authority of her husband.
Why?
Because of the angels.
Really?
Why???
Because the faithful angels didn’t know what had happened in the conflict over the begotten Son of God and the honored created son of God: Christ and Lucifer. They needed to understand what had happened and what the difference was between God the Father and His Son, so God made Adam to represent Himself, while Eve, begotten from Adam’s own substance, represented the Son.
All of this, “because of the angels.”
The Latter (Ladder) Rain

Answering Mr. O in Regard to Omnipresence
Mr. O, I mentioned I would put a video together, but after starting to write out the notes, I found that writing would be a good way to go. I hope you don’t mind the change in what I said I would do. My comments are in bold:
Hello Pastor. I have some concerns regarding this video presentation and I am hoping you can help me understand. First of all, I agree with everything you have presented as far as the sources you have quoted. My concern is, I am afraid I am not understanding your interpretation of the material you have conveyed.
Thank you so much. If you could help, I would request that you go through the video again, pointing out precisely where I have misconstrued the words I […]
Courtship with Isaac and Rebekah
Principles of courtship from the Bible
Genesis 24:1 Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
- Abraham, an aged man that God had blessed in all things. Old and wise, mature, careful, instructed by the Lord, someone who it would be well for us to take counsel from.
Genesis 24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, […]
Lucifer Fallen
Ezekiel 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Ezekiel 28:14 […]
Gospel in the Sanctuary (Angels in the Sanctuary)
Steps to the Father
By Zaddoch Ponde GSrrM –Kenya
Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.
Psa 77:13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

A Deeper Look at the Angels
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Daniel 8:15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Daniel 8:16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, […]
Shadow of the Almighty
Psa. 91:1 “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
How is this word “shadow” used in the KJV?

- Gen. 19:8 “Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.”
- Num. 14:9 “Only rebel […]

Angels in Steps to Christ
“…He permitted Him to leave the bosom of His love, the adoration of the angels, to suffer shame, insult, humiliation, hatred, and death.” SC 13.1
“…As he [Jacob] slept, a strange light broke upon his vision; and lo, from the plain on which he lay, vast shadowy stairs seemed to lead upward to the very gates of heaven, and upon them angels of God were passing up and down; while from the glory above, the divine voice was heard in a message of comfort and hope. Thus was made known to Jacob that which met the need and longing of his soul—a Saviour. With joy and gratitude he saw revealed a way by which he, a sinner, could be restored […]

Don’t Forget: What is Essential for Us to Remember – Christina Hilton
This school report was done by Christina Hilton based on the video at the bottom of this article:
According to the Bible we all have a spirit and God also has a Spirit, which we most often call the Holy Spirit. We are made in God’s image, but most people would say that our spirit and God’s Spirit are completely different. When our spirit leaves us, we are dead Ecclesiastes 9:6. Originally, when God created man, He breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul. A body plus the breath equals a living soul, if our breath or spirit leaves us, we are just a dead body and that breath (spirit) goes back to God. Is God different? Can He separate from His Spirit? When Jesus […]
God in the Sanctuary
God the Father “the highest.”
Psalms 18:13 [a prophecy of the cross] The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice;
Luke 1:32 [Jesus] shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
Mark 5:7 [a demon said] What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God?
“I saw that the wings of the angels did not reach above the Father, for that would bring Him too low. I saw that the Father was in the […]
Heavenly Intelligences
Over every man good and evil angels strive. It is the man himself who determines which shall win. I call upon the ministers of Christ to press home upon the understanding of all who come within the reach of their voice, the truth of the ministration of angels. Do not indulge in fanciful speculations. The written Word is our only safety. We must pray as did Daniel, that we may be guarded by heavenly intelligences.—Letter 201, 1899. 1SM 158.1
Divine ministration is needed to give power and efficiency to the church in this […]
Two Great Powers
When the soul surrenders itself to Christ, a new power takes possession of the new heart. A change is wrought which man can never accomplish for himself. It is a supernatural work, bringing a supernatural element into human nature. The soul that is yielded to Christ becomes His own fortress, which He holds in a revolted world, and He intends that no authority shall be known in it but His own. A soul thus kept in possession by the heavenly agencies is impregnable to the assaults of Satan. But unless we do yield ourselves […]
