Ephesians for Sabbath School: To Help Enjoyment


1. Paul is the author of no less than 5 prison letters. 

2. Philippians, Ephesians, Colossians, Hebrews and Philemon. Written from prison in Rome. 

3. Paul has one brain and many scribes. He speaks and they write. The same with Jeremiah and Baruch. 

4. There is one Editor the Holy Spirit who speaks the same and whose morning talks and evening talks are the same. One message, one truth, one in principle and one in love. 

5. There are 5 different circumstances. Every congregation or person is different. 

6. There is one Roman Empire and with Nero as Emperor, the Roman Secret Police arrests everyone who writes letters of "rebellion against the emperor or Empire". 

7. The subject is Books to be burned or persecution in the Roman Empire. Much has been written about it. 

8. Therefore, Paul is implicit in Ephesians and Colossians where he is explicit in Hebrews. 

9. Therefore you must always place the four other letters in the handbag of Hebrews together with the "Sanctuary Truth of chapters 7-10 of Hebrews". 

10. Why? Because the "blood of Christ that atones for sin" is the Sanctuary act in the Old Testament of sprinkling blood on the horns of the burnt offering altar. 

11. No, but that's not what Paul said in Ephesians. That's the point. That's what he means but doesn't say. 

12. What is the principle? Always place Ephesians and Colossians within the context of explanations of Hebrews 1-2 and 7-10. 

13. Only Adventists, with their Sanctuary Truth, can properly understand Ephesians and Colossians. 

14. Sorry for the Calvinists, Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Methodists, Baptists and other Evangelical groups who do not have a Sanctuary Truth or doctrine. 

15. In 1618, Paul Bayne already writes that Ephesians 1:7's blood of Christ refers to the Sanctuary. I'm not the first one to recommend it! But the Reformed religions would not listen to him. That is why their Sanctuary of Truth has been emaciated.
