The Wrath of God

This study today stems more from yesterday's study… tomorrow by the grace of God we will undertake the 'Faith of Jesus'.

May God bless us and give us understanding as we seek to fully understand His will for us!

All by HIS love, HIS mercy, HIS righteousness, HIS GRACE!

*******

Dan_8:14  And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

(((At the end of the 2300 year prophecy- we are pointed to the SANCTUARY.  Not only are we pointed to the SANCTUARY we are pointed to the CLEANSING of the SANCTUARY.  When it was understood that the Sanctuary was the HEAVENLY Sanctuary we have to move our attention there.))))

'J.N. Andrews Three Messages of Revelation--

The Opening of the Temple in Heaven

3. The opening of the holiest of all in the Temple in heaven, by which the ark is seen, is an event that takes place under the sounding of the seventh angel.

(((Rev 10:7  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Rev 10:8  And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
Rev 10:9  And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
Rev 10:10  And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Rev 10:11  And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

We HAVE to remember the time and place of these verses here, of this prophecy.  Remember we've talked about it before but it bears repeating. The LITTLE BOOK- the Book of Daniel was opened, it's prophecy was revealed in the early/mid 1800's. The message pointed people to the time of the end, and mistakenly they put a DATE on Christ's return, not on the Heavenly Sanctuary. They were bitter, that understanding became bitter in their bellies and yet a small band of them sought renewed understanding and were shown that the cleansing of the Sanctuary was the Heavenly Sanctuary. After this study, by the GRACE of our Savior we will delve deeper into the Sanctuary cleansing. ))))

'And as the ministration of our great High Priest is changed to that apartment at the termination of the 2300 days, we understand that the opening of the Temple is MARKED by the termination of that period, as presented by the proclamation of the first angel.

(((Rev 14:6  And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Rev 14:7  Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment IS come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ))))

The entrance of our high Priest into the most holy place to minister before the ark of God, call the attention of the church to the commandments of God contained within that ark. The commandments of God have been shining out from the heavenly Sanctuary since that time.

(((How can we NOT be drawn to the Ark of the Covenant and the precious, holy contents within when we are told this-- 'WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH AND SEA AND THE FOUNTAINS OF WATERS'  One of those commandments has THIS wording in it… 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.    How can we NOT comprehend the connection?!))))

'The period BETWEEN our Lord's entrance into the holiest of all to cleanse the Sanctuary (Heb. 9:23) and complete his great work of ministration, and the close of that period as marked by the seven angels' coming out of the Temple to pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. (Rev. 15:5, 6), WE UNDERSTAND TO BE THE PERIOD OF THE SAINTS' PATIENCE.

((( Heb 9:23  It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

Rev 15:1  And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
Rev 15:2  And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Rev 15:3  And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Rev 15:4  Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
Rev 15:5  And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
Rev 15:6  And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
Rev 15:7  And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
Rev 15:8  And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. ))))

It is the days of the voice of the seventh angel in which the mystery of God is being finished; that is, the period when HUMAN PROBATION IS BROUGHT TO A CLOSE.

Besides the fact of the termination of the 2300 days, which marks the opening of the Temple in heaven, the anger of the nations is an important testimony that we are NOW in the days of the voice of the seventh angel. Rev. 11:18.

(((Rev 11:18  And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. ))))

The present time is, therefore, the proper period for the last message of mercy to perishing men; and it is marked by the actual presentation of that voice of warning, and of the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The cup will be filled.

It became full for the Amorites, it will become full for us. 

Gen_15:16  But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

God acts when sin has gone to it's fullest extent. He could and can do NO less.

Rev_14:10  The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb

Rev_16:19  And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

The cup will be filled.  The iniquity will be full. The end will come without ANY doubt. It is up to us to decide if we will be among the Saints- those who KEEP the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus!  You will be LOST if you believe that this is NOT TRUTH! It is TRUTH!

Please Father, please let us be among the saints keeping YOUR commandments and having the faith of JESUS, our SAVIOR! Please!  We only want YOUR TRUTH! PLEASE keep us IN YOU!

All through YOUR LOVE.
