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 13th day of the 3rd month of the Biblical Calendar in the estimated year 6020 Anno Mundi. The Fall Sabbaths begin in 15 weeks and one day on the 1st day of the 7th month (Saturday, September 3rd of the 2016, Gregorian Calendar, at sunset Friday, September 2nd). On God's Calendar the Biblical month begins on the global day after lunar conjunction and the Biblical year begins with God's New Year's Day (Passover) after the spring equinox (Spring Passover Rule). The Millerite Calendar (Spring New Moon Rule) is a month later this year. The Calculated Rabbinical Calendar is also a month later. WOW! The Holy Spirit and several newsletter readers responded intensely to my last newsletter. I am in the process of responding to several emails from new website visitors and long term newsletter readers. It is encouraging but it reminds me that I do not have the strength and focus I once did. I pray God will strengthen me as He has promised. One of the memorized verses that is often recited in my night time meditations. Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. I quote Malachi 4 silently to myself almost every night as part of a larger routine of prayer and meditation I practice when I awake during the night. I ponder every thought and word of this chapter and many other passages. I also do alternate translations, wordings, and amplifications in my thoughts. One phrase that I find particularly fascinating is the KJV wording of "all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly". Some translations emphasize that being wicked is something you are. Other translations emphasize that being wicked is something you do. I have heard many people whose words express confusion about the concepts of to be and to do. Turning over thoughts like these in my mind sometimes causes me to fall back to sleep quickly. Most of the time I lie awake for an hour or more pondering dozens of memorized scriptures. I am reminded of the pretense of contradictions proposed and debated concerning similar concepts of faith/works, belief/practice, and others by those who are not open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. These people make a pretense of spirituality and Bible Study but it is clear they are simply not understanding. Maybe they do not want to understand the truth. As long as they can make excuses about being confused they can continue with cherished sin and hide their guilt to themselves. God is not fooled by their pretensions. Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work (do) iniquity. My personal experience was that when I began to actually and diligently, study and practice what God says in all His Law, I was suddenly able to see clearly what was uncertain and confusing before. I was also no longer mislead by those who would twist the words of the Bible.
II Peter 3:13-18 Grow in grace and knowledge. What a thought! The concepts of be/do, faith/works, belief/practice, and others are not contradictions but two sides of the same coin. You can not look at one side of the coin and pretend the other side is not there. Do you pretend to be a seeker of truth or do you actually do it? 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.
