The End
In the time of the end every divine
institution is to be restored.
Prophets and Kings
PG 678
God bids us give our time and strength to the work of preaching to the people the messages that stirred men and women in 1843 and 1844. . .
The Upward Look p 199
--------------------------------------------------------------
Because we live at this time, when the earth is at its worse day of activity and the law has been made void by the main stream of people, we have to face it and do all we can to warn others of the coming doom of the majority of life strewn over the earth.
The world is full of error and falsehood to no end. We are to study for our self and know what the Lord really says. The verse that is discussed here is—
Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Colossians 2:17
This verse is often twisted and used to support error, and for rejection of truth. But why not use it to support the truth?
When you have a shadow, there has to be an object to obstruct the light so it will cast that shadow. The shadow can be at different places, depending on the time of the day if it is outside
and where the light is, if it’s in the house.
In this verse the body, or subject and light is Christ. Jesus is the Light of the world. He is the center of all that is good and right. He came to
share in mans lot of being in a sinful world, so He always was and is the center of the church, the subject for which to keep the mind on. Jesus is the means of our salvation by shedding His blood, and He is also the light, shining the truth to the world, instructing us and warning and correcting us.
An example is of Jesus saying He is the Door of the fold of safety, through which we have to enter for salvation and eternal life. But He is also the Shepherd who is taking care of His flock in the fold and those outside the fold and working to bring back those that have strayed as well as wanting to save the wicked.
In the plan of salvation the Lord has used types and symbols to make it easier for man to understand what He has done to make it possible for man to stop sinning and be saved and live forever.
As soon as man sinned, the lamb
without blemish, was sacrificed to
show that some day Jesus would die
for our sins. In all the history of the
world, Jesus has been telling man of
His plan of redemption.
We know when Jesus hung on
the cross, no more lambs to
represent Christ were to be slain.
Jesus was the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world. Even after
Jesus died on the cross, there were
still symbols that He used to remind
us of His death. He did not throw
away all types and symbols. Only
those sacrifices and ordinances that
pointed to His death are no more.
Like the sun, casting shadows
different places all through the day,
before noon and afternoon, so Jesus
casts His shadows before and after
the cross. The verse says, which are
a shadow of things to come. When
Paul wrote this he was after the cross,
still looking forward to the fulfillment
of more shadows.
The previous verse 16 tells what some
of these shadows are.
Let no man judge you in meat,
or in drink, or in respect of an holy
day, or of the new moon, or of the
Sabbath days.
Everyone has the power of choice.
Man can decide to serve God or not
to serve Him. But God has written
no idle words. All is very important
and has a purpose even if man has
other ideas.
Paul is referring to Leviticus 23.
Leviticus 23:1,2
“And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, Concerning the feasts
of the LORD, which ye shall Proclaim to
be holy convocations, even these are my
feasts.”
Exodus 31:16
“Wherefore the children of Israel
shall keep the sabbath, to observe
the sabbath throughout their
generations, for a perpetual
covenant.”
Isaiah 66:23
“And it shall come to pass, that
from one new moon to another,
and from one sabbath to another,
shall all flesh come to worship
before me, saith the LORD.”
God’s people will be keeping
the Sabbath and the new moon
in heaven so we should be
enjoying them now and remember
the meanings for these days.
Part Two
Leviticus 16:29
“And this shall be a statute for
ever unto you: that in the seventh
month, on the tenth day of the
month, ye shall afflict your souls,
and do no work at all, whether it
be one of your own country, or a
stranger that sojourneth among
you:”
Leviticus 16:31
“It shall be a sabbath of rest
unto you, and ye shall afflict your
souls, by a statute for ever.”
Leviticus 23:21
“And ye shall proclaim on the
selfsame day, that it may be an holy
convocation unto you: ye shall do
no servile work therein: it shall be
a statute for ever in all your
dwellings throughout your
generations.”
Leviticus 23:31
“Ye shall do no manner of work:
it shall be a statute for ever throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.”
Leviticus 23:41
“And ye shall keep it a
feast unto the LORD seven
days in the year. It shall
be a statute for ever in your
generations: ye shall celebrate
it in the seventh month.”
Notice it says, Feast of the
Lord, not mans feast or ideas
and the Lord says, My feasts,
and they are holy. It says
forever.
Dictionary--perpetual:
Lasting for eternity,
continuing and enduring
forever, everlasting,
ceaseless, ageless, eternal,
unceasing, unending.
Daniel tells us what was nailed
to the cross.
Daniel 9:27
“And he shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week:
and in the midst of the week he
shall cause the sacrifice and the
oblation to cease,….”
Colossians 2:14
“Blotting out the handwriting
of ordinances that was against us,
which was contrary to us, and
took it out of the way, nailing
it to his cross;”
At the supper with the disciples
Jesus said He would not drink of
the cup until He drank it with them
in the kingdom.
This tells us that the unfermented
grape juice, which is a symbol of
Christ’s blood, would still be a
reminder of His death in the
kingdom of heaven when sin is
gone. Jesus also told us to have
the communion service with the
grape juice and unleavened bread,
and foot washing to show His death
till He comes. These symbols are still
telling us of Christ’s death after the
cross. The week Jesus died on the
cross, the first day of the feast of
unleavened bread, which is a
Sabbath, was on the same day
as the Seventh day Sabbath.
This was the day Jesus was in
the tomb, and so it had to be
for Jesus to rest on the holy
Sabbath day. The one was a
memorial of the creation of
the world and the other the
memorial of redemption, or
Jesus giving His life to save
the righteous.
A high day, is when the Sabbath
of a feast of the Lord takes place
on the Seventh Day Sabbath.
Leviticus 23:6
“And on the fifteenth day of
the same month is the feast of
unleavened bread unto the LORD:
seven days ye must eat unleavened
bread.
Leviticus 23:7
“In the first day ye shall have
an holy convocation: ye shall do
no servile work therein.”
Leviticus 23:8
“But ye shall offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD seven
days: in the seventh day is an holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile
work therein.”
The Desire of Ages PG 785
“Christ arose from the dead as
the first fruits of those that slept.
He was the antitype of the wave
sheaf, and His resurrection took
place on the very day when the
wave sheaf was to be presented
before the Lord. For more than
a thousand years this symbolic
ceremony had been performed.
From the harvest fields the
first heads of ripened grain were
gathered, and when the people
went up to Jerusalem to the
Passover, the sheaf of first fruits
was waved as a thank offering
before the Lord. Not until this
was presented could the sickle
be put to the grain, and it be
gathered into sheaves. The
sheaf dedicated to God
represented the harvest.
So Christ the first fruits
represented the great
spiritual harvest to be
gathered for the kingdom
of God. His resurrection is
the type and pledge of the
resurrection of all the
righteous dead. "For
if we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even
so them also which sleep
in Jesus, will God bring
with Him. “
1Thessalonians 4:14
Jesus rose from the dead,
in harmony with the first fruits.
At the end of the world we will
see the dead come out of the
graves. This shows the first
fruits did not end at the cross.
We are still waiting and longing
for that day.
Part three
The unleavened bread was
used for the whole week of
the feast and there was to
be no leaven found in their
houses. Jesus had no sin.
Leaven is a symbol of sin.
We are still asking God to
forgive and cleanse us of
sin after the cross.
Unfermented grape juice is
representing Christ’s pure blood,
shed for us. It was not spoiled at
all, to be a symbol of Jesus body
that saw no corruption.
Advent Review and Sabbath Herald
June 22,1897 PR 11
“The broken bread and pure
juice of the grape are to represent
the broken body and spilled blood
of the Son of God. Bread that is
leavened must not come on the
communion table; unleavened
bread is the only correct
representation of the Lord's
Supper. Nothing fermented
is to be used. Only the pure
fruit of the vine and the
unleavened bread are to
be used.”
Leviticus 23:10
Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them,
When ye be come into the
land which I give unto you,
and shall reap the harvest
thereof, then ye shall bring
a sheaf of the firstfruits of
your harvest unto the priest.
Leviticus 23:11
And he shall wave the sheaf
before the LORD, to be accepted
for you: on the morrow after the
sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Leviticus 23:12
And ye shall offer that day
when ye wave the sheaf an he
lamb without blemish of the
first year for a burnt offering
unto the LORD."
Pentecost is representing the
day God gave the law on Mount
Sinai. It was a day of teaching
and instructing the people.
At the time of the assembled
disciples on the day of Pentecost,
the Holy Spirit was given and
shown by tongues of fire on each
persons head. They were blessed
with wisdom and understanding,
how to share the plan of salvation
and were given the ability to speak
languages they did not know
The Holy Spirit has been
working on hearts through
all the history of the world.
In the final days of this world,
the Holy Spirit will be given in
great measure to the faithful
who have not one spot or stain
of sin in their life, after the cross.
Leviticus 23:15
And ye shall count unto you
from the morrow after the sabbath,
from the day that ye brought the
sheaf of the wave offering; seven
sabbaths shall be complete:
Leviticus 23:16
Even unto the morrow after
the seventh sabbath shall ye
number fifty days; and ye shall
offer a new meat offering unto
the LORD.
Leviticus 23:17
Ye shall bring out of your
habitations two wave loaves
of two tenth deals: they shall
be of fine flour; they shall be
baken with leaven; they are
the firstfruits unto the LORD.
Leviticus 23:21
And ye shall proclaim on the
selfsame day, that it may be an
holy convocation unto you: ye
shall do no servile work therein:
it shall be a statute for ever in
all your dwellings throughout
your generations.
The Great Controversy
[1888 edition] PG 611
The work will be similar to
that of the day of Pentecost.
As the "former rain" was given,
in the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit at the opening of the gospel,
to cause the upspringing of the
precious seed, so the "latter rain"
will be given at its close, for the
ripening of the harvest. "Then
shall we know, if we follow on
to know the Lord; his going
forth is prepared as the morning;
and he shall come unto us as the
rain, as the latter and former
rain unto the earth."
[1 HOSEA 6:3.] "Be glad then,
ye children of Zion, and rejoice
in the Lord your God; for he
hath given you the former rain
moderately, and he will cause
to come down for you the rain,
the former rain, and the latter
rain."[2 JOEL 2:23.] "In the
last days, saith God, I will pour
out of my Spirit upon all flesh."
"And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever shall call on the name
of the Lord shall be saved."
[3 ACTS 2:17, 21.]
The great work of the gospel is
not to close with less manifestation
of the power of God than marked
its opening. The prophecies which
were fulfilled in the outpouring of
the former rain at the opening of
the gospel, are again to be fulfilled
in the latter rain at its close. Here
are "the times of refreshing" to
which the apostle Peter looked
forward when he said, "Repent
ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out
[in the investigative Judgment],
when the times of refreshing
shall come from the presence
of the Lord; and he shall send
Jesus."[4 ACTS 3:19, 20.]
The feast of trumpets
started ten days before the
Day of Atonement. This was
when the people were alerted,
and it was kept before their
mind that the Day of Judgment
was at hand.
William Miller preached the
soon coming of Jesus for ten
years before the day of
Atonement on October 22, 1844,
sounding the trumpet of warning
of the coming judgment, when
Jesus went from the Holy Place
to the Most Holy Place of the
sanctuary. This was after the
cross.
Just before Jesus second coming,
He will step out of the sanctuary on
the Day of Atonement. The world
will have been ALARMED IN
TRUMPET TONES, with the Loud
Cry Message, THAT THE END IS
UPON US. We are now looking for
this final moment, we are yet in this
world.
Leviticus 23:24, 25
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. Ye
shall do no servile work therein: but
ye shall offer an offering made by
fire unto the LORD.
Numbers 29:1
And in the seventh month, on
the first day of the month, ye shall
have an holy convocation; ye shall
do no servile work it is a day of
blowing the trumpets unto you.
The Southern Watchman
May 31,1904 PR 02
At the time of the feast of
trumpets, when many were
gathered at the holy city, the
people assembled in the street
that was before the water gate;
"and they spake unto Ezra the
scribe to bring the book of the
law of Moses, which the Lord
had commanded to Israel. And
Ezra the priest brought the law
before the congregation both
of men and women, and all that
could hear with understanding,
upon the first day of the seventh
month. And he read therein
before the street that was before
the water gate from the morning
until midday. . . . And the ears of
all the people were attentive unto
the book of the law."
Part Four
The Day of Atonement has
always been the most important
of the gatherings of Israel. A
person was cast out if He did
not participate in this day.
We are still in this world of sin.
We are living in the anti-typical
Day of Atonement, which are the
years from October 22, 1844 to
the day of atonement the year
that Christ has planned to come,
of which we know not. When
Jesus work in the Sanctuary is
done, He will say “It is finished”
and step out and in a few days
He will reach this earth, to take
His faithful to their heavenly
home.
It will take seven days to go
to heaven. On the last great day
of the feast, the saints will sit
around the banquet table of the
Marriage supper of the Lamb.
Jesus will serve the redeemed
and each will partake of the
grape juice with Him, that He
said He would not drink until
His people were in the kingdom.
We are being judged now.
We do not know when our name
will be presented to the Father
for examination to decide our
destiny.
Leviticus 23:27
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.
Leviticus 23:28
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.
Leviticus 23:29
For whatsoever soul it be that
shall not be afflicted in that same
day, he shall be cut off from among
his people.
Leviticus 23:30
And whatsoever soul it be that
doeth any work in that same day,
the same soul will I destroy from
among his people.
Leviticus 23:31
Ye shall do no manner of work:
it shall be a statute forever
throughout your generations in
all your dwellings.
Leviticus23:32
It shall be unto you a sabbath
of rest, and ye shall afflict your
souls: in the ninth day of the
month at even, from even unto
even, shall ye celebrate your
sabbath.
Testimonies for the Church
Volume Two PG 691
Many entertain the view
that probation is granted after
Jesus leaves His work as mediator
in the most holy apartment. This
is the sophistry of Satan. God tests
and proves the world by the light
which He is pleased to give them
previous to the coming of Christ.
Characters are then formed for
life or death. But the probation
of those who choose to live a life
of sin, and neglect the great
salvation offered, closes when
Christ's ministration ceases just
previous to His appearing in the
clouds of heaven.
Testimonies for the Church
Volume Two PG 190
“Jesus has left us word:
"Watch ye therefore: for ye
know not when the Master
of the house cometh, at even,
or at midnight, or at the
cockcrowing, or in the morning:
lest coming suddenly He find
sleeping. And what I say unto
you I say unto all, Watch." We
are waiting and watching for
the return of the Master, who
is to bring the morning, lest
coming suddenly He find us
sleeping. What time is here
referred to? Not to the
revelation of Christ in the
clouds of heaven to find a
people asleep. No; but to
His return from His
ministration in the most
holy place of the heavenly
sanctuary, when He lays
off His priestly attire and
clothes Himself with
garments of vengeance,
and when the mandate
goes forth: "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.”
Jesus tells us to watch for the day He
will leave the Most Holy Place, so, some
day He will let us know when and how
to do this.
There is much rejoicing at the Feast
of Tabernacles, when the judgment day
is past. They enjoyed making their
dwellings of branches, which was to
remind them of their wilderness journey.
Leviticus 23:34
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying,
The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
Leviticus 23:35
On the first day shall be an holy convocation:
Ye shall do no servile work therein.
Leviticus 23:36
Seven days ye shall offer an offering
made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth
day shall be an holy convocation unto you;
and ye shall offer an offering made by fire
unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly;
and ye shall do no servile work therein.
Zechariah 14:12
And this shall be the plague wherewith
the LORD will smite all the people that have
fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall
consume away while they stand upon their
feet, and their eyes shall consume away in
their holes, and their tongue shall consume
away in their mouth.
Zechariah 14:16
And it shall come to pass, that every
one that is left of all the nations which
came against Jerusalem shall even go
up from year to year to worship the
King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep
the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:17
And it shall be, that whoso will not
come up of all the families of the earth
unto Jerusalem to worship the King,
the LORD of hosts, even upon them
shall be no rain.
Zechariah 14:18
And if the family of Egypt go not up,
and come not, that have no rain; there
shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD
will smite the heathen that come not up
to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah 14:19
This shall be the punishment of Egypt,
and the punishment of all nations that
come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
The Lord is saying in Zechariah, that
the people who do not keep the feast of
Tabernacles will not receive the latter
rain, and they will suffer in the plagues.
Patriarchs and Prophets PG 541
The Feast of Tabernacles was not only
commemorative but typical. It not only
pointed back to the wilderness sojourn,
but, as the feast of harvest, it celebrated
the ingathering of the fruits of the earth,
and pointed forward to the great day of
final ingathering, when the Lord of the
harvest shall send forth His reapers to
gather the tares together in bundles for
the fire, and to gather the wheat into
His garner. At that time the wicked will
all be destroyed. They will become
"as though they had not been."Obadiah 16.
And every voice in the whole universe
will unite in joyful praise to God. Says
the revelator, "Every creature which is
in heaven, and on the earth, and under
the earth, and such as are in the sea, and
all that are in them, heard I saying,
Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,
be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne,
and unto the Lamb forever and ever."
Revelation 5:13.
In each of these two chapters of Leviticus 23,
and Zechariah 14, the Lord mentions the feast of
Tabernacles three times. When something is said
by God three times we better open our eyes and
take note of what He is showing us.
Part Five
The Upward Look PG 232
The history of the children of Israel is
written for our admonition and instruction
upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Those who would stand firm in the faith
in these last days, and finally gain an entrance
into the heavenly Canaan, must listen to the
words of warning spoken by Jesus Christ to
the Israelites. These lessons were given to the
church in the wilderness
to be studied and heeded by God's people
throughout their generations forever. The
experience of the people of God in the
wilderness will be the experience of His
people in this age. Truth is a safeguard in
all time to those who will hold fast the faith
once delivered to the saints.
--Manuscript 110, Aug. 6, 1899,
"The Unfaithful Husbandmen."
The Upward Look PG 232
It is impossible to enumerate the advantages the Lord prepared for the world in making the Jewish nation the repository of His rich treasures of knowledge. They were the subjects of His
special favor. As a people who knew and worshiped the true God, they were to communicate the principles of His kingdom. They were instructed by the Lord. He withheld from them nothing favorable to the formation of characters which would make them fit representatives of His kingdom. Their
feasts, the Passover, the Pentecost, and the
Feast of Tabernacles, and the ceremonies
attending these gatherings, were to proclaim
the truths that God had entrusted to His people.
At these gatherings the people were to show
gladness and joy, expressing their thanksgiving
for their privileges and the gracious treatment
of their Lord. Thus they
were to show to a world that knew not
God that the Lord does not forsake those
who trust in Him. With joyful voices they
were to sing, "Why art thou cast down,
O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the
health of my countenance, and my God" (Ps. 43:5)
The Great Controversy p 488
The subject of the sanctuary and the
investigative judgment should be clearly
understood by the people of God. All need
a knowledge for themselves of the position
and work of their great High Priest. Otherwise
it will be impossible for them
to exercise the faith which is essential at
this time or to occupy the position which God
designs them to fill. Every individual has a soul
to save or to lose. Each has a case pending at
the bar of God. Each must meet the great Judge
face to face. How important, then, that every
mind contemplate often the solemn scene when
the judgment shall sit and the books shall be
opened, when, with Daniel, every individual
must stand in his lot, at the end of the day.
Desire of Ages P 211
….In every sacrifice Christ's death was shown.
In every cloud of incense His righteousness
ascended. By every jubilee trumpet His name
was sounded. In the
awful mystery of the holy of holies His
glory dwelt.
Psalms77:13
Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:
who is so great a God as our God?
Isaiah 58:12
And they that shall be of thee shall build
the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the
foundations of many generations; and thou
shalt be called, The repairer of the breach,
The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Matthew 5:18
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven
and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall
in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Revelation 22:19
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Matthew25:6
And at midnight there was a cry made,
Behold, the Bridegroom cometh;
go ye out to meet Him.
In the time of the end every divine institution
is to be restored. The breach made in the law at
the time the Sabbath was changed by man, is to
be repaired.

The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials p 1694
Every institution we establish, every
sanitarium and publishing house and
church, should bear the inscription,
……..The work of preaching the word,
presenting Christ crucified as the world's
Redeemer, bears the divine credentials,
and proof of its sacred character is given
in the conversion of souls.
