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 26th day of the 2nd month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6013 Anno Mundi. It is 1 week and 1 day until Pentecost Sabbath begins with the evening of the 6th day of the 3rd month (Sunday, May 31 on the 2009 Gregorian calendar, beginning sunset on Saturday, May 30). This year, those who follow the Millerite Calendar determination agree with my understanding of the Gregorian Calendar dates for God's Sacred Calendar. The dates on the apostate Jewish Calendar are two days earlier in the spring and one day early in the fall. It is also interesting to note this year, the Catholic observance of Pentecost Sunday falls on the same day as the true Pentecost. This is because the date of Easter and Pentecost is an apostasy based on the date of Passover but moved to the next Sunday. When the time of Passover falls on a Friday evening, as it did when Messiah was sacrificed, the true date for Wave Sheaf and Pentecost will match the date for the Catholic Easter and Pentecost. Even some who believe in the Law of Moses, mistakenly believe Wave Sheaf is always on a Sunday. They believe it is after the weekly Sabbath, instead of the day after the yearly Sabbath. This causes them to add unintentional support to Easter, because they think it is the day of Wave Sheaf. _____ One of the principles of Bible Study is you must study deeply to uncover all the meaning. God has provided great depth of meaning beyond what is available to the casual reader. There is value in the surface meaning but God has more beneath the surface. This depth of understanding must be taught and learned by the power of the Holy Spirit. It must be sought with diligence. Many of the deeper meanings are a part of the Third Elijah Message. Repeatedly God's Word encourages us to deep study. We can learn and see more when we earnestly seek it. I have heard many use the excuse that it is too much for them. They deny the power of God by taking refuge in their lack of ability. God encourages us with these words. Matthew 7:7-8 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Many seem to be afraid that God will ask more of them than they want to give. Some give grudgingly of their money and others give grudgingly of themselves, their time, their abilities, or their obedience. This verse is usually used to squeeze more money out of people but it has a deeper meaning. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: Allow me to share with you some other deeper meanings the Holy Spirit has placed in my heart. Many times, I have heard people say, "Is this a salvation issue?", as if to excuse themselves from following God all the way. Revelation 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. The shallow understanding of this verse is the 144,000 follow the Lamb around in heaven. While this may be true, where is it the most valuable to follow the Lamb where He leads? Here on earth! It is easy to follow in heaven but so hard to follow here on earth. Can't you hear the secret complaint of the unwilling follower? "Does God really expect me to ...?" This quickly results in excuses about why they do not have to do what God says. Excuses such as, "The Law of Moses is nailed to the cross". Will you follow the Lamb wherever He leads? I was recently struck with a deeper meaning of this verse. Matthew 25:42-43 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. What hunger is of greater eternal consequence? Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. What thirst has more importance? John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. What prison is the greater captivity? Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, What is the real nakedness? Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Revelation 3:17-18 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Do you take the time to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and study deeply to uncover more meaning in God's Word? 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. Frank T.
