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 4th day of the 8th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6013 Anno Mundi.

It is about five months until the Spring Sabbaths begin on the evening of the 15th day of the 1st month (Wednesday, March 31 on the 2010 Gregorian Calendar, beginning sunset on Tuesday, March 30).

This coming year, those who follow the Millerite Calendar determination will be one month later than my understanding of the Gregorian Calendar dates for God's Sacred Calendar. The dates on the Jewish Calendar are one day earlier in the spring and one day early in the fall.

I was saddened by the presentation of "The Elijah Message" by Pastor Cox last weekend. I was a little excited when I heard what the topic was to be. I knew it would not truly cover the topic as my study of the Bible shows it to be. The presentation was excellent and covered some very valuable teachings. However, it was not a presentation on the true meaning and purpose of the Third Elijah Message.

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.

The first shortcoming of the presentation began with a concentration on verse six to the exclusion of verse four. Verse four was mentioned but after the phrase "Law of Moses" was read, it was repeated as "Law of God" and the word statutes was ignored. It was treated as a secondary consideration of only the Ten Commandments and only relating to the sixth verse.

The emphasis on the sixth verse was given the typical interpretation of referring only to families, fathers, and their children. The entire content of the Third Elijah Message was wrapped up in about fifteen minutes and the rest of the five programs was completely given over to the discussion of the family as the only purpose of this important message from God.

While the presentations and concepts about the family were excellent and valuable, they did not address the true concept of the Third Elijah Message from what I read in the Bible. The words of the Bible were misrepresented and the presentation veered completely away from the message God has for us to understand.

I believe the Third Elijah Message is critical to preparing for the end of time. I believe it is the call to the 144,000 for their final preparation before the sealing begins at Pentecost. I believe it is a call to return to obedience to all of the Law of God, including the part called by God Himself, the Law of Moses. The statutes and judgments are explicitly mentioned as the part of the Law of God which needs to be remembered.

The deeper understanding of verse six is the restoration of the heart of obedience of the patriarch fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to the modern children of Israel who are grafted into the vine. Consider these words of God to Isaac concerning his father Abraham.

Genesis 26:4-5
4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

The Messiah knew there would be a falling away and a prophesied restoration of all things.

Matthew 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Peter also knew there would be a falling away and a restoration of all things.

Acts 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Daniel prophesied about the falling away where the Law of God would be changed.

Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

Paul spoke explicitly about the falling away where the Law of God would be broken down.

II Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

Those called of God at this time will build the wasted places of truth and understanding. They will restore the foundations of truth which have been trampled by Babylon. They will repair the breach, which has been made by the enemy of souls, in the practice and understanding of God's Law.

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.

They will clear the paths of righteousness and they will walk in them. They will follow wherever the Lamb leads them here on earth, long before they reach heaven.

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.

Do you recognize and understand the special message from God of "Present Truth" in Malachi 4:4 for these last days?

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.
