Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-ah-oo-ah) 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 IAUA. This is the 27th day of the 7th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6013 Anno Mundi.

I have been meditating on the importance of proper focus in my life. This was often a subject of thought as I listened to the presentations during the Feast of Tabernacles. Without balance, excessive focus might be classified as obsession. The lack of focus might be called chaos.

Some have asked what became of the alternative Sabbath School class I have mentioned. I had hoped the class would develop into a serious Bible Study and discussion group. Instead, it became even more unfocused as it grew larger and the lack of order often became chaos.

Any attempt to guide or focus the discussion was rejected. Instead of Bible study it became a rambling discussion of philosophy and humanistic thinking with little reference to the Bible. Those who were outspoken and quick to speak took over the discussion with no respect or consideration for those who were soft-spoken and took time to think before they spoke. I have ceased attending the group.

Many presentations during the Feast of Tabernacles were based on prophetic interpretation. Sometimes these were taken to extremes of detailed and specific interpretation. Some were presented with such passion it bordered on obsession. The primary emphasis was primarily on predicting the time and order of future events. I pondered these words of IAUShUO.

John 13:19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

John 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.

The focus of these words is not primarily on future prediction but rather the confirmation of faith when we see the fulfillment of prophecies we could not fully understand until they came to pass. There is a role for being prepared for the future by prophetic understanding. I am pondering the balance of these things.

In the last newsletter I described my focus as primarily looking for the hand of God in spiritual concerns which are my top priority. There is an ever increasing outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which is soon to become clear to all who are willing to see. My prophetic focus is on the expected message and the manifestation of the Third Elijah.

Malachi 4:4-6
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

There is so much disagreement and a lack of unity among the presentations we hear these days. I believe the Third Elijah Message will prepare and unite the 144,000 for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit with power to proclaim the Fourth Angel's Message.

Revelation 18:1-4
1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

This event is Pentecost, which is the sealing of the 144,000, the beginning of the judgment of the living, to be followed by the Great Tribulation.

Revelation 7:1-4
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

Multitudes will be taught by the 144,000 and sealed during the Great Tribulation ending with the close of probation on the Day of Atonement.

Revelation 7:9-14
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

These prophetic events are my focus for which I am preparing.

Is your focus on the things of this world or are you making spiritual preparation to follow the hand of God's guidance in His Word and in His Law?

I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
