Some notes on Adventist Doctrines and offshoots reactions

I heard a sermon today about the Atonement on the Cross that was complete. But our actions are still in books in heaven and that is what should be cleansed or cleared since 1844. The speaker was correct. He was preaching delicately to avoid misunderstanding here in South Korea for those offshoots who left due to the Ford Theology ramifications of the 1970's. I lived in those days. I read all the Spectrum booklets produced for that purpose in those days. 

The preacher here in Korea did not want to differ with Adventist Theology. His emphasis on the cross as complete action was only to reach out to the offshoots that we as Adventists are classically saying the same. 

Of course that is not where Adventists stop. Why? Atonement is in phases. It has to be. Atonement actualized will be the day the Hell event is over, evil and Evil eliminated and the New Earth and New Heaven is created. Then the goat of Azazel is also typically cleared. So Atonement is a process with phases. What was one the cross was one phase and what is in the Holies according to the Book of Hebrews, a neglected Book by Calvinism and Reformed Theology as well as Catholics. But a very important book for classical Adventism since in this book it is said about 6-8 times that Christ died a sacrifice on the cross "once and for all". That is where Reformed Theology stop, in 31 AD. But the Book of Hebrews goes on. There remains a job for Christ in Heaven on our behalf as Priest in the Holies of the three-partite building of the Tabernacle of Moses. Another Atonement phase where daily sins are take care of in the lives of the saints day by day. Then the prophetic injection of the 1844 message based on Daniel 8:14  with the year-day principle counted, a principle used by Thomas Aquinas to calculate Jesus' death in 31 AD from Daniel 9:24-27 as well as Reformers like George Joye and Hugo de Groot, the popish Calvinist jurist with ecumenical traits in him. They used this principle or key in Daniel 9:24-27 teaching Adventists how to properly reckon the long prophetic times of the book of Daniel but then stopped...The fluid development of prophet interpretation of prophecies suddenly stopped in the Catholic and Reformed traditions and that is why the Adventist awakening was a continuation of the usage of the same key also for the 2300 days of Daniel 8:14. It had to be. 

So the Atonement phase of Jesus Christ is the Great Yom Kippur of Leviticus 16 actualized in Heaven properly where it was on earth just a type in Israel by Moses given by God showing Moses a pattern that he was to copy in heaven. Yes. That is what the Bible said. Reformed Theology needs to wake up. They need to run back to the Book of Hebrews and properly do their exegesis. Pay attention to the not yet situation that the Holy Spirit told Paul about the Most Holy Atonement service in Hebrews 9:8. Pay attention. Explicitly it is said to Paul in 58 A.D. when the Book, was written or compiled (because a lot of theological words in Hebrews can be found only in the Books of Peter). 

So the removal of our smelly sinful lives from before conversion are all recorded in Books in Heaven (see Daniel 7:10ff) for this process. 

Said the Fordites of the 1970's through Spectrum Journal of California of those days...trying to lean heavily on the works and theology of Martin Luther, that everything was on the cross finito. 

Why? Because Stephen in 34 A.D. was seeing Christ on His Father's throne and that they thought in Catholicism and in Reformed Theology, has to be in the Most Holy because that is where the Throne of God is. 

So the offshoots of today, clinging to Desmond Ford Theology and want to be disciples of him, says that Atonement is completed at the cross because Jesus went straight past the Holies from the altar of the cross in the outside court directly to the Most Holy throne of the Father to sit with Him there. 

It sounds so convincing. Does it not? Not. 

Read Daniel 7:10 where the Books were opened and the Judgment set....If you "set" the Judgment it was not there before. There was no Judgment before 1844. God has a "day" in which He will Judge the world the Bible says. Not before. Do not invent theology that is not in the Bible. 

Catholics and Reformed Theologians are falling short here. 

It is also not at the Second Coming of Christ. He comes to bring His rewards. He cannot give rewards until after Judgment so the Judgement has to be before the Second Coming. Catholics and Reformed Theologians missed this point. So they invented all kinds of explanations but with so many loopholes that one cannot use it. 

And the modern offshoots want to keep clinging to these ideas of the "big" theologians or "big" churches. "Rather be a small fish in a big tank than to be a large fish in an Adventist small tank" said one Adventist professor in the past and left Adventist seminary for New York to the Armenian seminary. 

Go back to Daniel 7 and read verse 9, the text before verse 10. Can you see a throne there? The thrones in the verse was "set up". They were not there before. You can only set up a throne if you move it from location A to location B. A mobile throne? Yes. The verse says explicitly that it had a wheels. 

You missed it. All theologians need to go back to the drawing boards of theology. The throne of God is not static standing and waiting in the Most Holy for Jesus to come in 1844. This throne says Ezekiel in chapter 1 is standing on a firmament that had four wheels like a wagon riding through the sky. It moves. It is mobile. 

Thus, Fordites need to rethink their static view of God's Throne in the Mercy Room of the Ten Commandments room of the ark of the covenant. 

God the Father was at the cross when Christ died. The throne rolled on wheels and a wagon there in the outer court of the heavenly sanctuary where the cross was set up on earth for Christ to die. And He did in 31 AD. 

So where did God the Father go with His wagon and wheels and throne after the crucifixion? To the Holies where Christ was to minister as the Book of Hebrews explained. 

Where did Stephen see Christ with His Father one His throne sitting in 34 A.D.? Not in the Most Holy but in the Holies. They arrived in 1844 with the wagon throne of Ezekiel 1 at the Most Holy at that time for Christ to fulfill the Investigative Judgment and the Advocacy as High Priest of Leviticus 16 with the Yom Kippur Theology actualized in Heaven. Catholics and Reformists, you need to do homework. You are not done yet. 

Judaism needs to wake up and cling to the veracity of their Hebrew consonantal text and do not change the letters and understanding as the Middle Age Rabbis Rashi, Redak, Ibn Ezra and others did. They misled Judaism by this. 

Yes people do leave sometimes the church. For other reasons too. Secularized lifestyle. Too much money, too much fame, too many friends in world. Infatuated with worldly values and equity and wokeness, they leave the Adventist church to be activists for civilian rights and worldly consideration of what is right or wrong. For racial contentions. 

It appears, and that is just a general statement which may or may not be true since I am not black racially, that for four thousand years, ever since the Ham punishment or Ham curse, the black races felt psychologically left behind or to be the underdog even when they were not many times. 

They were the Nubian and Libyan Dynasties of Egypt for hundreds of years reigning in Cairo areas. Yet they have been agitating for mistreatment century after century. It is as if the restless spirit of minority complex [one or two billion blacks among other colors counting to four or five billion] left them always with a questionmark in the mind? I do not know. I cannot answer for I am not standing in their shoes. 

There are offshoots who run after the Armstrong Church of God ideas of a binity rather than a trinity that despite the words of Christ in John 14 saying that He will send ALLOS = another Comforter to this world when He leaves. Of course the Spirit of God is going to be also the Spirit of Jesus because of DBA (to use the sermon words of Charles Bradford in that brilliant sermon of his 'I want a praying church' on Youtube). "Doing business as". The Spirit is doing business as the Father and as Christ as if it is Christ or the Father themselves. That is what Paul is also saying. But, the Greek and Jesus said "another". I, Jesus, is Comforter One and I will send you another = ALLOS Comforter Two to take care of you. Thus John 14. It is binity disciples headache number one. This verse. Can't get around this one. 

So finally we have in these times as we live, the turmoil of Israel. Indeed a "Time of Trouble" like there never was. After the fulfillment of Donald Trump moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, as Daniel 11:45 clearly indicated, and after Trump came to his end and no-one for him, also as Daniel 11:45 indicated, we now have in Israel the "Time of Trouble" showcase of Daniel 12:1. 

But note....it is during that Time of Trouble that is coming over the whole world, that Christ will come at the Second Coming and the Resurrection will take place. 

Imminently.......Very, very soon, we shall see King of Kings.

Michael in this verse is Christ, in case Judaism did not know. Christ means Messiah.
