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 18th day of the 10th month of God's Sacred Calendar in the estimated year 6014 Anno Mundi. The New Year begins with the Spring Sabbaths in 16 weeks and 3 days with the first Sabbath of Unleavened Bread on the evening of the 15th day of the 1st month (Tuesday, April 19th on the 2011 Gregorian Calendar, beginning sunset on Monday, April 18th). An amazing thing occurs in the Gregorian Calendar years of both 2011 and 2012. Those who follow the Millerite Calendar determination agree with what my research has determined for the Gregorian Calendar dates of God's Sacred Calendar and the dates on the Jewish Calendar also agree! _____ The eve of this pagan day of observance, which has been baptized by Catholic Christianity, is a fitting time to discuss the Great Controversy, one of the battlegrounds, and the shaking of the church soon to come. Many will acknowledge December 25 is not the birthday of our Saviour but few will acknowledge the Feast of Tabernacles was His birthday. They are willing to observe the popular Catholic holiday but scorn God's Holy Day.
What Date Was Jesus Really Born On? There are a great many battles being fought in the search for God's Truth. The Seventh-day Adventist church has backslidden on the subject of God's Law. This brand new website contains papers written about this subject.
Exposing the Skeleton in the SDA Closet of 1888 Quietly, thousands of Seventh-day Adventists are learning and practicing the feasts (yearly Sabbaths) and the Law of Moses. Soon there will be 144,000. Those who are learning are quietly sharing with those who are interested in learning more truth. Unfortunately, some who present truth are disruptive and militant, presenting truth with loud voices and the proverbial baseball bat. This does not follow the example of our Saviour and does not present a good example for God's cause. Some use exaggeration and extreme methods, which is not helpful either. Some may even present shaky and poorly researched concepts. Nevertheless, God has many different people and many different methods. His cause will prevail. The Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN) has been the leader in spreading the error which states the Law of Moses is nailed to the cross. Their worldwide reach and the power of their presence is heavily felt. Their goal of spreading the undiluted Three Angels Message has been very successful, though the message is not undiluted. The error of rejecting the Law of Moses, contradicts the word of God. Malachi 4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 3ABN recognizes this discrepancy is part of the final shaking as evidenced by their own statements in a program titled "Feast-keeping and the Final Crisis". This program was discussed in the 2010-08-20 newsletter titled Final Crisis. I agree the controversy over this error is the subject of the final shaking. Unfortunately, I am concerned 3ABN is on the wrong side of God's Truth. These are some quotes from Ellen White on the topic of "The Shaking". "The days are fast approaching when there will be great perplexity and confusion. Satan, clothed in angel robes, will deceive, if possible, the very elect. There will be gods many and lords many. Every wind of doctrine will be blowing. Those who have rendered supreme homage to "science falsely so called" will not be the leaders then. Those who have trusted to intellect, genius, or talent will not then stand at the head of rank and file. They did not keep pace with the light. Those who have proved themselves unfaithful will not then be entrusted with the flock. In the last solemn work few great men will be engaged. They are self-sufficient, independent of God, and He cannot use them. The Lord has faithful servants, who in the shaking, testing time will be disclosed to view. There are precious ones now hidden who have not bowed the knee to Baal. They have not had the light which has been shining in a concentrated blaze upon you. But it may be under a rough and uninviting exterior the pure brightness of a genuine Christian character will be revealed. In the day time we look toward heaven but do not see the stars. They are there, fixed in the firmament, but the eye cannot distinguish them. In the night we behold their genuine luster." {5T 80.1} "The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us. Those who have step by step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to worldly customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death. The contest is between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. In this time the gold will be separated from the dross in the church. True godliness will be clearly distinguished from the appearance and tinsel of it. Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy will then go out in darkness. Chaff like a cloud will be borne away on the wind, even from places where we see only floors of rich wheat. All who assume the ornaments of the sanctuary, but are not clothed with Christ's righteousness, will appear in the shame of their own nakedness." {5T 81.1} The shaking is described as having already begun and is growing to a greater force. Since this was already true in 1901 (after 1888), it is much more true today. Notice the importance of obedience. "We are in the shaking time, the time when everything that can be shaken will be shaken. The Lord will not excuse those who know the truth if they do not in word and deed obey His commands. If we make no effort to win souls to Christ, we shall be held responsible for the work we might have done, but did not do because of our spiritual indolence. Those who belong to the Lord's kingdom must work earnestly for the saving of souls. They must do their part to bind up the law and seal it among the disciples." {RH, January 22, 1901 par. 9} {6T 331.2} The shaking will reach a peak as the sealing begins. "Just as soon as the people of God are sealed in their foreheads--it is not any seal or mark that can be seen, but a settling into the truth, both intellectually and spiritually, so they cannot be moved--just as soon as God's people are sealed and prepared for the shaking, it will come. Indeed, it has begun already; the judgments of God are now upon the land, to give us warning, that we may know what is coming (MS 173, 1902)." {4BC 1161.6} The shaking will purify the church. "Just as long as God has a church, he will have those who will cry aloud and spare not, who will be his instruments to reprove selfishness and sins, and will not shun to declare the whole counsel of God, whether men will hear or forbear. I saw that individuals would rise up against the plain testimonies. It does not suit their natural feelings. They would choose to have smooth things spoken unto them, and have peace cried in their ears. I view the church in a more dangerous condition than they ever have been. Experimental religion is known but by a few. The shaking must soon take place to purify the church." {2SG 284.1} Please read Ellen's powerful vision of "The Shaking" from the Review and Herald {RH, December 31, 1857 par. 1}, also found in Spiritual Gifts. Volume 1 (1858) {1SG 183.1}, and Early Writings 1882 {EW 269.1}. This is too much to quote here. http://www.iaua.name/Archives/Shaking.html Many have expressed a concern because there are so many in the church who do not see the truth of the Elijah Message. It is important to remember we are judged only by the light we have received. "Many who have not had the privileges that we have had will go into heaven before those who have had great light and who have not walked in it. Many have lived up to the best light they have had and will be judged accordingly.--Letter 36, 1895." {LDE 216.3} "All must wait for the appointed time, until the warning shall have gone to all parts of the world, until sufficient light and evidence have been given to every soul. Some will have less light than others, but each one will be judged according to the light received.--Ms 77, 1899." {LDE 217.1} "We have been given great light in regard to God's law. This law is the standard of character. To it man is now required to conform, and by it he will be judged in the last great day. In that day men will be dealt with according to the light they have received.--RH Jan. 1, 1901." {LDE 217.2} "Those who have had great light and have disregarded it stand in a worse position than those who have not been given so many advantages. They exalt themselves but not the Lord. The punishment inflicted on human beings will in every case be proportionate to the dishonor they have brought on God.--8MR 168 (1901)." {LDE 217.3} "Everyone is to have sufficient light to make his decision intelligently.--GC 605 (1911)." {LDE 217.4} We also need to remember there is no excuse for willful blindness. "None will be condemned for not heeding light and knowledge that they never had, and they could not obtain. But many refuse to obey the truth that is presented to them by Christ's ambassadors, because they wish to conform to the world's standard, and the truth that has reached their understanding, the light that has shone in the soul, will condemn them in the judgment.--5BC 1145 (1884)." {LDE 217.5} "Those who have an opportunity to hear the truth and yet take no pains to hear or understand it, thinking that if they do not hear they will not be accountable, will be judged guilty before God the same as if they had heard and rejected. There will be no excuse for those who choose to go in error when they might understand what is truth. In His sufferings and death Jesus has made atonement for all sins of ignorance, but there is no provision made for willful blindness." {LDE 218.1} "We shall not be held accountable for the light that has not reached our perception, but for that which we have resisted and refused. A man could not apprehend the truth which had never been presented to him, and therefore could not be condemned for light he had never had.--5BC 1145 (1893)." {LDE 218.2} We are standing at the threshold of Final Events! The foot of the 144,000 is lifting to step over. Judgment will begin at the church. Are you looking to heaven or is your head in the sand? Now is the time for tomorrow may be too late. Are you seeking truth and accepting light to prepare for the shaking soon to come? 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.
