THIS LAW "BASIC LAW: JERUSALEM, CAPITAL OF ISRAEL", WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN ANOTHER FULFILLMENT OF THE 2300-DAY PROPHECY OF DANIEL 8:14 IN OUR DAY
The 2300 days are unmistakably linked to both the fall feast days of Leviticus 23, and also, the three angels' messages of Revelation 14:6-10.
That which gave the Day of Atonement, October 22, 1844, such special significance, was that on this day the longest time prophecy, the 2300 years, had ended. This period had begun with the “going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem” in (457 B.C.), as related in Daniel 9.
Similarly, the Day of Atonement, October 13, 1986, came at the end of 2300 days which had also, begun with the “going forth of a commandment to restore and build Jerusalem”. This commandment “went forth” to the whole world via Reuters International News Agency, on Friday, June 27, 1980. It was picked up the same day by other major news services around the world.
This commandment was introduced into the Israeli Knesset, and became law in Israel. A copy, of the
(Basic Law: Jerusalem, Capital of Israel) is included at the top of this post.
THE DEVASTATING VOLCANO BLAST OF MOUNT ST. HELENS
The devastating volcano blast of Mount St. Helens in the U.S.A. On May 18, 1980, and the Dark Day that followed, announced this prophetic fulfillment. This event occurred exactly 200 years after the Dark Day of May 19, 1780, which also had prophetic implications. The next month (after Mt. St. Helens eruption) on Friday, June 27, 1980, Reuters News Agency broadcast over the entire world the law introduced into the Israeli Knesset by Guela Kohen, which was then overwhelmingly passed by the Knesset and became law in Israel. The law is titled,“Basic Law: Jerusalem, Capital of Israel”.
The going forth of this commandment to restore and build Jerusalem on June 27, 1980, meets every specification of Daniel 9:25 to be the beginning point of the twenty-three hundred day prophecy, at the end of which judgment would come, or in other words, the sanctuary would be cleansed. This twenty-three hundred day prophecy ended on Monday, October 13, 1986, on the Day of Atonement of that year.
And amazingly, 1986 was not only a Sabbatical year, but was a seventh Sabbatical year, the year just before a Jubilee, fitting exactly the precise specifications of the prophecies of Moses, including that of the Sabbath for the Feast of Trumpets and the first and eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. The Day of Atonement came on a seventh-day Sabbath the next year, the Jubilee year, on October 3, 1987.
THIS COMMANDMENT SIGNALS A FULFILLMENT OF
THE END OF THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES,
“THE JUDGMENT OF THE CHURCH”
This commandment to restore and build Jerusalem in 1980, and the Messiah's prophecy in Luke 21:24 are unmistakably linked to a fulfillment of the end of the times of the Gentiles. (This, of course, does not negate, but rather enhances the expectation of still another fulfillment of this same end time prophecy of Jesus to occur at the end of time.)
“Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” Luke 21:24. The commandment which began a literal fulfillment of the twenty-three hundred day prophecy, also began the first seventy weeks of that prophetic period. Seventy weeks or 490 days reaches to October 29, 1981. On that day, amateur archeologist, Tom Crotser, from Winfield, Kansas, found, but did not disturb, the sacred Ark of the Covenant containing the ten commandments. Tom Crotser, led by the information in 2 Maccabees 2 searched for the Ark on Mt. Pisgah, where Moses went up to see the inheritance of God.
2 Maccabees 2
“4 It was also contained in the in the same writing (of Jeremiah) ,how the prophet (Jeremiah), being warned by God, commanded that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him, till he come forth to the mountain where Moses went up and saw the inheritance of God.
5 And when Jeremiah came thither he found a hollow cave: and he carried in thither the tabernacle and the ark and the altar of incense and so stopped the door.
6 Then some of them that followed him came up to mark the place: but they could not find it.
7 And when Jeremiah perceived it, he blamed them, saying: The place shall be unknown till God gather together the congregation of the people and receive them to mercy.
8 And then the Lord will shew these things : and the majesty of the Lord shall appear and there shall be a cloud, as it was also shewed to Moses, and he shewed it when Solomon prayed that the place might be sanctified to the great God.” 2 Maccabees 2:4-8 A DREAM FROM GOD GIVES ALL THE DETAILS
With his three companions, Tom camped near this peak when during the night, he was given a dream. In the dream he could see through the top of the mountain and was shown the location of the Ark of the Covenant. He woke and informed his three companions of what God had just shown him. In the darkness of that night they went to the spot pointed out in the dream and went to work. After some difficult digging within the tombs, through several passages identified in the dream, they finally broke through into the last room and found the Ark of the Covenant just as the dream had showed. They took some pictures but did not touch or disturb anything they found.
There is quite a story behind this discovery, which many readers may wish to investigate further, as we will not relate all the details here.
The government of Jordan resealed the entrance to these tombs and posted guards to prevent any further investigation of the site. This event marks the end of the seventy weeks which were allotted to the Gentile churches.
“To finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness...” Daniel 9:24.PROFOUND DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE GENERAL CONFERENCE
OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
As the seventy weeks were ending, there were some profound developments within the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Washington DC.
The Seventh-day Adventist Church had applied for their trademark from the Patent office of the United States Federal Government in Washington, D.C., which they received the week following the end of the seventy weeks.
When the Seventh-day Adventist Church Corporation applied for their Mark (trademark) from the federal government (the beast with lamb-like horns, Rev. 13:12) they were issued federal document No.1177185 on the tenth day of November, 1981. The following quotation is from this federal document:
“This is to certify that the records of the Patent and trademark Office show that an
application was filed in said office for registration of the Mark shown herein, a copy
of said Mark and pertinent data from the Application being annexed hereto and made
a part hereof, and there having been due compliance with the requirements of the law
and with the regulations prescribed...Upon examination, it appeared that the applicant
was entitled to have said Mark registered under the Trademark Act of 1946, and the
said Mark has been duly registered this day in the Patent and Trademark Office on
the Principal Register....I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Patent
and Trademark Office to be affixed this tenth day of November, 1981.
(Signature appears) COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS”
Please note that the word “Mark” is repeated four times and is capitalized in the original document.
In speaking of “the Mark”, a vital statement came to mind from the book by James and Ellen G. White, entitled “A Word to the Little Flock”.
“The work of the second angel, was to show to the advent host that Babylon had fallen, And as a large portion of them did not learn this fact, until the MIDNIGHT CRY waked them up, just in time for them to make their escape from the churches, before the 10th day came on; it follows, that the second angel brought us to the 7th month, 1844. The third angel's message was, and still is, a WARNING to the saints to 'hold fast', and not go back, and 'receive' the marks which the virgin band got rid of, during the second angel's cry.” E.G. White. A Word to the Little Flock p.11 E.G. WhiteFollowing the registration of the “Mark”, the Seventh-day Adventist Church commenced litigation through the civil power now at their disposal, filing suit against an 11-member independent group, headed by Marik, in Hawaii, on April 9, 1987, as one of the first of many such cases to follow.
Corbett, Marik's twangy-voiced Texas attorney, in the Hawaiian case, said:
“This has stirred up one of the hottest ruckuses I've ever seen....It's a suite of
tremendous import, for if the judgment is not overturned on appeal, it will
open the door for mass persecution of one's religion, be it...Christian, Buddhist,
Muslim, Hindu.”
This action by the Seventh-day Adventist Church makes more relevant the following statement:
“In order for the United States to form an image of the beast, the religious power
must so control the civil government that the authority of the state will also be
employed by the church to accomplish her own ends.” The Great Controversy, p. 443 E.G.WWhen asked from which funds the litigation expenses are paid, the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists responded on their official letterhead, stating:
“April 10, 1989
Mr.
Dear Brother ____________:
Thank you for your recent letters concerning trademarks. Elder Wilson's office asked me to respond.
First, enclosed is a copy of the questions and answers we have released on the question. Perhaps you already have seen it in the January 12 issue of the Adventist Review.
Second, you inquired whether tithe is used to pay church litigation. The treasury informs me that all litigation is paid from the annual appropriation made at the Annual Council, and that appropriation comes from tithe.
If you have additional questions, please write.
Sincerely,
(SIGNATURE) Robert W. Nixon Associate General Counsel”
How does this “Mark” relate to the three angels' messages? Or to the present truth for today?
There are several profound statements from Ellen G. White in regard to the judgment of the “Church”. She makes very clear that the “church” goes through to the end victoriously. Some use the words “church” and “Church” interchangeably, without understanding the difference in meaning; however, in legal terms there is a big difference between these two words, “church and Church”. See any corporate law dictionary or corporate law lawyer.
The word “Church” indicates a legal corporation registered under the laws of the state. If this Church gives government recognized tax-deductible receipts, then it is, also, a 501(c)3 Corporation. All 501(c)3 Corporations are incorporated under “Roman Catholic Canon Law” and thereby subject to that law, make no mistake about it.
When E.G. White made the following statements, she was referring to a church that had not yet incorporated as a 501(c)3 Corporation.
“When this church is weighed in the balance of the sanctuary, it is found wanting,
having left its first love.” 1SM 370 E.G. White
“In the balances of the sanctuary the Seventh-day Adventist church is to be
weighed. She will be judged by the privileges and advantages that she has had.
If her spiritual experience does not correspond to the advantages that Christ, at
infinite cost, has bestowed on her, if the blessings conferred have not qualified
her to do the work entrusted to her, on her will be pronounced the sentence:
'Found wanting.' By the light bestowed, the opportunities given, will she be judged.”
Volume 8, Testimonies For The Church, p.247. E.G. White
“He will take His Holy Spirit from the church, and give it to others who will
appreciate it....The absence of harmony with God becomes apparent. The
light grows dim, goes out' the candlestick has been removed.” Review and
Herald, July 16, 1895. E.G. White
The Jewish church was given a period of probation to fulfill God's purpose in them. Just so, a time would come when the remnant church would be weighed in the balances of the sanctuary.
“When the Saviour saw in the Jewish people a nation divorced from God, He
saw also a professed Christian Church united to the world and the papacy. And
as He stood upon Olivet, weeping over Jerusalem till the sun sank behind the
western hills, so He is weeping over and pleading with sinners in these last
moments of time. Soon He will say to the angels who are holding the four
winds, 'Let the plagues loose; let darkness, destruction, and death come upon
the transgressors of my law.' Will He be obliged to say to those who have had
great light and knowledge, as He said to the Jews, 'If thou hadst known, even
thou at least in this thy day, the things that belong unto thy peace! But now they
are hid from thine eyes'?” RH, October 8, 1901 par. 15 E.G. White.
(Notice in the original statement, E.G. White spells the word, “Church” with a capital “C”.)
The first angel's message points to the judgment, the end of the 2300 days in the prophecy of Daniel 8.
In prophetic history, the first part of this prophecy, the 70 weeks, were given to the Jewish nation as the time in which to repent and to bring in everlasting righteousness. They failed to repent and their house was left desolate. The sobering fact is that 40 years later, they were destroyed by the Roman armies. There is a lesson in this for us.
Was the Laodicean church given 70 weeks in which to repent? What does the prophet say?
“Neglect to repent and obey His word will bring as serious consequences upon God's
people today as did the same sin upon ancient Israel. There is a limit beyond which
He will no longer delay His judgments.” Volume 4 Testimonies, page 166, 167,
E. G. White.
“Jerusalem is a representation of what the church will be if it refuses to walk in the
light that God has given.” Volume 8 Testimonies, page 67, E. G. White. “The desolation of Jerusalem stands as a solemn warning before the eyes of modern
Israel, that the corrections given through His chosen instruments cannot be disregarded
with impunity.” Volume 4, Testimonies, page 167, E. G. White.
“And thou, Capernaum [Seventh-day Adventists, who have had great light], which art exalted unto heaven [in point of privilege], shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.” Review and Herald, August 1, 1893, E. G. White.Some may find these facts rather shocking, but the Trademark Document No. 1177185 was issued by the federal government in the week following the end of the 70 literal weeks from the “going forth” of the commandment (from the Israeli Knesset, parliament) to “restore and build Jerusalem” instituted by Guela Cohen, a member of the Israeli Knesset. On Friday, June 27, 1980, this commandment received international news coverage via Europe's largest news agency, Reuters, and was picked up the same day by many other international news agencies.
Surprisingly, 2300 literal days after the “going forth” of this commandment, the prophecy ends on a Day of Atonement in a Sabbatical year, a seventh Sabbatical year or 49th year, when the fall feast days met every specification, including the “shadowy” Sabbaths falling on seventh-day Sabbaths.
What is God telling us???
Is it time for the first angel's message to be repeated pointing to another 2300 days? What about the second and third angels' messages?
On many internet forums, there is quite an extensive movement already underway among people of many different churches, calling people to leave the churches that have incorporated under the government regulations of the 501(c)3 corporations.
