---Paul taught them the year-day principle
when he lived in Ephesus for three years. ---We know it because Paul said in
Galatians 4:4 that Christ came in the “fullness of Times”. Exactly like 490
years of Daniel 9:24-27 taught them. ---That is why the Wise men from the east
could come to Herod so accurately looking for a newborn “prince”. ---They know what he means in Ephesians
1:10 with the “unto the house-management (oikonomoon) of the fullness of the
periods to put as head (anakephaiosasthai) in Christ all that is in heaven and that
is on the earth”. ---When? The period finishing the Most
Holy service in the Heavenly Sanctuary or the Investigative Judgment. See
Revelation 14: 13ff. ---When Jesus finish His work in the
Temple He comes out sit on a cloud with a crown. That is a crown on the head.
Get it? ---Believing in Christ we are being
allotted (eklerothemen) (Ephesians 1:11) and while believing they were being
sealed to the Holy Spirit of the promise/vow (Ephesians 1:13). ---So talking to various groups in the
book of Ephesians, Paul is saying that Christ is the key in our lives because
He will show many blessings in the ages that is to come (eperchomenos in
Ephesians 2:7). Paul sit in jail knowing his time is up but live will go on and
so in that time going on Christ will continue to show His blessings even if
Paul is no longer there. ---Paul is using a good Greek scribe
Tychicus and many of the words are not commonly used by Paul. They are very
good Greek with technical meanings. ---Paul speaks about Justification by
Faith in Christ but says that we also need to do good works (Ephesians 2:10). ---God prepared beforehand (proetoimasen) good
works for us that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10). How before hand
prepared? ---Christ out Example. Christ came, says
Ellen White and the Bible, to show us how to be obedient, how to pray, how to
worship, how to love others, how to walk close with God, and how to be good to
others. Right? When Paul wrote in 64 [lesson says 62] Christ was before him in
27-31 AD. Right? ---Suddenly the Book of Ephesians has much
to offer. Did you get your hardcopy Bible? Are you going to leave your Smartphone
at home on Sabbath? Walk tall with your Bible and Hymnal. ---Did you know that one of the greatest
specialists in PPT says that Power Point was the origin of the disaster of the
Challenger Space Ship in the past? ---Simplicity, triviality, and the power
to convince with less data. Is you pastor preaching with PPT? Disaster
designing media? ---It is time to focus properly. When?
Now.
