The “wise” shall understand!
"When the books of Daniel and Revelation are better understood, believers will have an entirely different religious experience. They will be given such glimpses of the open gates of heaven that heart and mind will be impressed with the character that all must develop in order to realize the blessedness which is to be the reward of the pure in heart." -Testimonies to Ministers, p. 114.
1843 Chart:
"As early as 1842, the direction given in this prophecy, to "write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it," had suggested to Charles Fitch the preparation of a prophetic chart to illustrate the visions of Daniel and the Revelation. The publication of this chart was regarded as a fulfillment of the command given by Habakkuk(See Habakkuk 2:2-3 KJV). No one, however, then noticed that an apparent delay in the accomplishment of the vision--a tarrying time--is presented in the same prophecy. After the disappointment, this scripture appeared very significant: "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. . . . The just shall live by his faith." {GC88 392.1}
"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}
Q: What was this mistake?
A: Those faithful, disappointed ones, who could not understand why their Lord did not come, were not left in darkness. Again they were led to their Bibles to search the prophetic periods. The hand of the Lord was removed from the figures, and the mistake was explained. They saw that the prophetic periods reached to 1844, and that the same evidence which they had presented to show that the prophetic periods closed in 1843, proved that they would terminate in 1844. Light from the Word of God shone upon their position, and they discovered a tarrying time--"Though it [the vision] tarry, wait for it." In their love for Christ's immediate coming, they had overlooked the tarrying of the vision, which was calculated to manifest the true waiting ones..."{EW 236.1}
1850 Chart:
"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. I saw that the charts ordered by God struck the mind favorably, even without an explanation. {13MR 359.1}"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}

Please see www.3angelstube.com re 2520 True or False Revival. This brings out the truth about the 2520. God Bless
ReplyDeleteI have started looking at it. I have place some of my comments there thus far. The long comment is mine. I will wait awhile for other responses then will continue adding more comments. This Video on 3angels tube may sound convincing. But he makes many false statements concerning the proponents of the 2520 and also. He omitted much that gives the impression He is correct. some statements he has presented as FACTS are not FACTS when information has been withheld from the viewers.
ReplyDeleteHis presentation is geared towards presenting the the teachers of the 2520 as dishonest rather than investigating that validity of views held since 1840 till now concerning the 2520. He is off on many points.
3rd verse, "And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth; and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power." By theselocusts I understand armies.
ReplyDeleteSee Joel, 1st and 2nd chapters.
Therefore I should read this text thus: And there came out from these Mahometan followers large armies, which should have great power to execute the judgments of God on this anti-Christian beast, which had filled the earth with her abominations. {1842 WiM, MWV2 117.3}
