Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-uh-oo-uh) our Father,
Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of the Lord. This is the 24th day of the 8th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the year 6012 Anno Mundi. It is about six months until the Spring Sabbaths begin with the evening of the 15th day of the 1st month which is the first Unleavened Bread Sabbath (Saturday, April 11 on the 2009 Gregorian calendar, beginning sunset on Friday, April 10). _____ The world appears to have fallen off an economic cliff and will soon hit bottom with great economic destruction. Be courageous for: Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. It is interesting to note many are making a connection between our economic problems and morality. It will be interesting to see how this may develop. A simple path leading step by step from the devastation of economic greed to the need for morality, to the need for a moral focus, to a need for a day of religious commitment, can be glimpsed. However, I propose that the faithful must not be caught up in the materialistic crisis but focus on a spiritual preparation for final events. A revival of study, growth, and faith is the focus of this ministry. I am beginning another book expanding on the subject of God's Sacred Calendar. The following website will be the development location of this book: http://www.sacredcalendar.info A reader comments on the previous newsletter. Newsletter comments are lightly edited and always kept anonymous unless permission is granted to allow further additional communication. _____ Dear Frank, I felt impressed to respond to this commentary on EGW vs. tassels. First I would like to point out that the statement made by Ellen White; 'The people of God are not now required to have a special mark placed upon their garments.' was according to all the light she had at that time. And I also feel impressed to point out that she used the words "not now" which of course is taken by most to mean not ever. But this is not what she said. She wrote "not NOW" as in her day. The leaders rejected anything having to do with Jewish culture, i.e. Rev. 18 [the fourth angel's message] in 1888. Instead of just shipping Ellen off the Australia to try to silence her, they would have outright rebelled and more seriously injured the cause had more been said about divine matters at that time. As it was in the days of the disciples it was in her day and is in ours [at present]. Yahushua haMachiah has much to tell us but are we ready? Many likewise will find any handle to grab hold off in order to reject and discredit His modern day prophet. I caution all brethren, tread carefully. When Joel 2:28 experiences the full fulfilment how will those prophets be received? Acts 3:21 and PK 678 tell us that ALL DIVINE MATTERS WILL BE RESTORED JUST BEFORE HIS RETURN. I believe we are seeing this and should rejoice!!!! In His Love, XXX _____ Dear Sister XXX, Thank you for your appropriate comments. We are indeed seeing the End of Time unfold before our eyes. Be at peace, Frank T. Clark - When the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth and he will show you things to come. John 16:13 (paraphrased) _____ A letter responding to a newsletter reader who expressed difficulty with conflict studying truth with others and preferring private study. _____ Dear Sister YYY, A balance is needed between studying by ourselves and studying with others. The most important place to study is within the Bible but there are other sources which can add to our study of the Bible. These outside sources must be verified against what the Bible says and kept in balance. A careful study of all of II Timothy chapter 2 and 3 is very valuable to help us to understand how we are to interact with others. I believe it teaches Bible study is very important but we must not turn away from interacting with others. This was addressed directly in Hebrews.
Hebrews 10:23-25
I think there is a hint here there were many disputes and arguments. When we "provoke" it should be to love and not contention. We need to share and discuss to promote growth and understanding. We do not work in a vacuum only studying the Word. We must interact with others who challenge us to think and learn and grow. But we must always test everything first by the Bible.
Isaiah 8:16-20
There are times when for certain specific important things the Bible is not complete. God's Sacred Calendar appears to be one of those things. God has chosen that this vital understanding must be based in general on the Bible but where the Bible is not specific we rely on history preserved for us through other traditions. We must be careful not to focus exclusively on one tradition as our witness. This is also a Bible principle. Deuternomy 19:15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. Matthew 18:16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. II Corinthians 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. Some things require careful research on the internet, or in a library, often guided by others who have searched also. But we must never rely on others to do our study for us. We may learn from others but we must verify for ourselves following the witness of the Bereans. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. These are troubled times but the end is soon to come. Be at peace, Frank T. Clark - When the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth and he will show you things to come. John 16:13 (paraphrased) _____ The Bible is our primary source for truth but the design of God demonstrates that we must go beyond solitary study which may lead us astray to a community of study to work with each other. The interactions of a community will restrain those who might fly off into a path of error. There is also the danger to be carefully considered that a community may resist the restoration of lost truth. That is why the conscience of the individual must never be trampled. Each stands personally accountable before God. Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. I have also observed that while the Bible is an unerring guide to our salvation it leaves holes of needed knowledge which must be filled by participating in society rather than withdrawing into our own isolated cliques. All these things are guided through the power of the Holy Spirit for the one who submits to the will of God. Are you diligently studying all sources of guidance to truth with others who also struggle in the search for truth? I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-uh-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
