When Chris gave His disciples he promise ohe Spiri, He was nearing he close o Hisearhly minisry. {AA 47.1} So oo in hepresen day as Chris nears he end o His Heavenly min-isry, He has promised ha same Spiri o guide us ino allruh. Had he disciples believed Chris a His rs word(Luke 9:44) hey migh have spared hemselves he disap-poinmen he Milleries were o laer endure.

Disconsolae, dejeced and depressed aply describedhe eelings o he disciples a he cross. Teir hope anddreams in he person o Chris had been nailed o hecross a Golgoha, and as a resul hey were, or a ime,plummeed back ino he obscuriy Chris once pluckedhem rom. Unknown o hem he nex y days or so

Ough no Chris o have suered hese hings, and oener ino his glory? And beginning a Moses and all heprophes, he expounded uno hem in all he scripureshe hings concerning Himsel. {Luke 24:26-27} Anexposiion o he scripures rom he ime o Moses washe learning curve he disciples had o undersand i heiraih in God he Son were o be rekindled and rooedin he righ oundaion. Te counless miracles and hepearls o wisdom Chris had perormed and impared

I is a common undersanding among bible sudensha he 7 seven seals which parallel he seven churchesin he book o Revelaion represen he church in di-

eren periods o he Chrisian Era up unil he end o hisearhs hisory. However wha is no common or ullyundersood is ha i also represens Ancien Israels his-ory in order. By porraying anciens Israels hisory, Godis declaring modern Israels uure hence why John heRevelaor employs hisories and erminologies in he Oldesamen o demonsrae how Gods Will is being ul-lled. Wha is now aking place in he Chrisian dispen-

saion is a ullmen o wha ranspired in he Old esa-men concerning Israel. Tis includes God calling hemou o Egyp o ener ino a special covenan wih Him,he church going ino capiviy in Babylon, heir rejeciono Him and he gospel going ou o he geniles. A esa-men can be dened as a writen documen; a Will whichcan only come ino orce aer he deah o he esaorand his is exacly wha he Old esamen is. Paul wriesin Hebrew 9:15-17. And or his cause he is he media-or o he New esamen, ha by means o deah, or heredempion o he ransgressions ha were under he rsesamen, hey which are called migh receive he prom-ise o eernal inheriance. For where a esamen is, heremus also o necessiy be he deah o he esaor. For aesamen is o orce aer men are dead: oherwise i is ono srengh a all while he esaor liveh.

Te esaor in he Old esamen is none oher hanChris, he Word o God, or He says search ye he scrip-ures or in hem ye hink ye have eernal lie and heyare hey which esiy o me John 5:39, Bu i is also heFahers esimony. God, who a sundry imes and in

divers manners spake in ime pas uno he ahers by heprophes Hebrew 1:1, his verse correlaes wih John 1:1where we are old: In he beginning was he Word. TeWord was wih God, and he Word was God. God heFaher and God he Son are one and when you have seen

he Son, you have also seen he Faher; so wha we nowhave is he Faher and Sons esimony coming o orce.Tas why as soon as Chris ascends ino heaven ollow-ing His resurrecion rom he dead; He akes he booksealed wih 7 seals rom His ahers righ hand, and beginso unseal his book. All ha is now being played ou is Hiswill as writen in he Old esamen. As you proceed wihhis aricle you will nd ha he 144, 000 will also per-orm a similar work like Moses and Chris and ha will beo magniy he law and make i honourable. Te nal gen-eraion are called o esablished he cerainy o he hird

angels message as i is buil upon a riple applicaion oprophecy, i is an unolding and ullmen o old biblicalruhs. Mrs Whie ells us: New ruh is no independ-en o he old bu an unolding o i. I is only as he oldruhs are undersood we can comprehend he new Inrelaion o he seven seals, Mrs Whie conrms ha hebook sealed wih he seven seals conains his hisory ohe whole world:

And I saw in he righ hand o Him ha sa on hehrone a book writen wihin and on he backside, sealedwih seven seals. (Revelaion 5:1-3 quoed). Tere in Hisopen hand lay he book, he roll o he HISORY OFGODS PROVIDENCES, HE PROPHEIC HIS-ORY OF NAIONS AND HE CHURCH. Hereinwas conained he divine uterances, His auhoriy, Hiscommandmens, His laws, he whole symbolic counselo he Eernal, and he hisory o all ruling powers in henaions. In symbolic language was conained in ha rollhe inuence o every naion, ongue, and people romhe BEGINNING OF EARHS HISORY O ISCLOSE. Tis roll was writen wihin and wihou. John

says: [Revelaion 5:4, 5, 8-14; 6:8-11; 8:1-4; quoed.] Tesame spiri is seen oday ha is represened in Revelaion6:6-8. Hisory is o be repeaed. Ta which has been will be again (Leter 65, 1898- Manurip Releae, Vol. 12,296,297.}

Te revelaion is he consummaion o all proceedingbooks. In he revelaion all he books o he bible meeand end. {Ac o he Aposle 583 586}. I conains 550reerences o he Old esamen passages. Te revelaorrepeas he pas in prophesying he uure he pas isrepeaed bu i is enlarged upon. Te New esamenwriers go over he hisory o he pas building i in rela-ion o he presen and uure o demonsrae how he will

o God is being ullled. A God-inspired movemen doesno desroy he oundaions o he pas, bu ulls. Tehird angels message is based upon he unied esimonyo he prophes. I ulls all he specicaions o he pro-pheic Word, pas revelaions orm is oundaions. {Cer-ainy o he hird angle meage p113}

Tis was demonsraed in he previous aricle, Egyp,Babylon Egyp. Te auhor explained, how he Lord akeshis people ou o Egyp, by demonsraing a gloriousmaniesaion o His power, we saw his by he plaguesand he paring o he red sea. He hen esablishes his cov-

enan wih hem by giving hem he law. Sadly Israel doesno coninue in ha covenan hereore Nebuchadnez-zar akes he church ino capiviy in Babylon as a resulo heir sin. Te same Hisory is repeaed in he imeso Chris. Because o heir unbelie, Jerusalem is alsoreerred o as Egyp (ee Revelaion 11:8). Tere is a glori-ous maniesaion o he power o God as demonsraedby he miracles Jesus perormed and Penecos where helaw was given. Te covenan is esablished in he hear ohe believers and he church goes orh as a mighy con-querer. However he church does no coninue in hecovenan which paves way or he Man o sin o arise, heRoman Caholic Church who is also described as Mys-ery Babylon he Grea. Te church hen goes ino capiv-iy unil he Lord ully calls hem ou o Babylon hroughhe proclamaion o he rs and second angels messagebeween 1840-1844. Mrs Whie describes his hisory asa Glorious Maniesaion o he Power o God. Howeveronly a remnan ully came ou o Babylon and hroughhis remnan, he Lord esablishes his law by showing hahe 10 commandmens are sill binding. Te remnan ha

came ou; he Sevenh Day Advenis Church goes orho proclaim his message. However, like Ancien Israel,he church does no coninue o press orh as she should.

Again he remnan church will repea he same hisory,As Mrs Whie saes: Te church has urned back rom

ollowing Chris her Leader and is seadily rereaingoward Egyp. . . . Have we no been seeking he riend-ship and applause o he world raher han he presence oChris and a deeper knowledge o His will? {5Tesimonie217.2} So in order o separae he wo classes, he Lordwill demonsrae a glorious maniesaion o he power oGod, he complee ou pouring o he later rain, his willlead he King o he Norh, Modern Babylon o seek o

desroy many and bring he church ino capiviy so shecan rule he world once again, however, he Lord Jehovahwill sand up or His people and he las seven plagues willpu a disincion beween hose who are he children ohe promise and hose who are he children o bondage.

I is clear o see how pas hisories in he Old esa-men demonsrae how he Will o God is being per-ormed giving us a sure Word o Prophecy ha is designedo prepare us o sand in hese later days. Oher examplesinclude he Tree Romes. Te Rise o Pagan Rome asillusraed in he Old esamen is he exac hisory o he

rise o Papal and Modern Rome; i.e. he unholy alliance,he removal o hree obsacles beore hey can rule heworld and hen ollows severe persecuion. Ishmael, heson o a bondwoman is idenied as been a wild man;his hand will be agains every man and every man againshim. {Genei 16:12}. We see his being ullled odayhrough his seed, he Islamic naion as demonsraed inhe hree woes, which involves wha ook place on Sep-ember 11h 2001. Also Elijah, being opposed by hreeenemies, a King, Harlo and alse prophes, so i was wihJohn he Bapis and so i will be a he end o he world.A hree-old union will also oppose spiriual Elijah. Tishree-old union consiss o he sae which is represenedas he Dragon, he beas which is Papal Rime and he alseprophes. (Revelaion 16:13)

In his aricle our ocus will be o demonsrae ha hebeginning o ancien Israels hisory beginning wih Mosesparallels he beginning o Chriss minisry and His esab-lishmen o he Chrisian church. In he 1s seal, he earlychurch is represened as a whie horse going rom vicoryo vicory, his symbolises how he gospel message spread

demonsraed, ha we, who have been called o becomea par o he 144,000 also repea he same hisory, in acwe are repeaing i now and i is crucial ha we under-sand his. As he Psalmis proclaims: God hah spokenonce, wice have I heard his Palm 62:11. Ye sadly hepropheic Word has demonsraed ime and ime again

ha he majoriy o Gods church will no hear his: ForGod speakeh once, yea wice, ye man perceiveh ino. {Job 33:14} He has already esied wha is o akeplace hrough Moses, and hrough he lie o Chris. I ishrough undersanding hese hisories we will have a clearindicaion o wha lies beore us and he work each one ous will need o perorm a he close o his earhs hisory.

Troughou he scripures, i has been clearly por-rayed ha Moses was a ype o Chris. He himsel haddeclared o Israel, Te Lord hy God will raise up uno

hee a Prophe rom he mids o hee, o hy brehren,like uno me; uno Him ye shall hearken. Deueronomy18:15. Te aposle Peer conrms ha Moses is reerringo Chris when he esies by he Holy Spiri: For Mosesruly said uno he ahers, A prophe shall he Lord yourGod raise up uno you o your brehren, like uno me;him shall ye hear in all hings whasoever he shall say unoyouAc 3:22. Tough, previously, Moses was he child

o anoher, he ye was made he son o Pharaohs daugh-er: And became her son (Exodu. 2:10). Tus he had amoher, bu no aher! Here is pregured he mysery ohe Virgin-birh! Chris was he Son o Anoher, even he

Son o God. Bu, born ino his world, He had a moher,bu no human aher. Ye was He, as i were, adoped byJoseph: seeMathew 1:19-21.

Boh men were born during a ime o severe darkness when Gods people were under he dominion and in

bondage o a hosile King. I was soon aer Moses birh,Pharaoh King o Egyp who is also described as he greadragon ha lieh in he mids o his rivers Ezekiel 29:3makes a decree o kill all male born child, likewise Heraldwho is also represened as he grea dragon sor o desroyJesus when he was born {Revelaion 12:3-4}. Because o

his deah decree, boh were hid in Egyp or a ime inorder ha heir lie could be preserved. As proclaimedby he angel: Arise, and ake he young Child and Hismoher, and ee ino Egyp, and be hou here unil I bring hee word (Mathew 2:13). Tus was ullledGods ancien oracle, And called My Son ou o Egyp(Hoea 11:1).

As Moses spen 40 years preparaion in he wilderness,likewise Chris spen 40 days in he wilderness beorehe began his public minisry. Boh perormed miracu-

lous signs and wonders in Egyp o conrm ha heywere rom God. Te Scripure esies And I will hardenPharaohs hear, and muliply my signs and my wondersin he land o Egyp. Bu Pharaoh shall no hearken unoyou, ha I may lay my hand upon Egyp, and bring orhmine armies, and my people he children o Israel, ou ohe land o Egyp by grea judgmens. And he Egypiansshall know ha I am he LORD, when I srech orh mine

hand upon Egyp, and bring ou hechildren o Israel rom among hem.{Exodu 7:3-5} Likewise Chris

also did many miracles {John 6:2}in Egyp ye hey believed no onhim: Bu hough he had done somany miracles beore hem, ye heybelieved no on him {John 12:37},(noe ha in Revelaion 11:6, we areold ha Chris was spiriually cruci-ed in Egyp, Egyp being symbolico unbelie} ye hose who believedon His Word, he brough ou ounbelie uno a knowledge o Him-sel and gave hem power o becomehe sons o God {John 1:12} whereashose who disbelieved were judgedand laer desroyed in he desruc-ion o Jerusalem in 70 AD.

I was hrough Moses, God wasgoing o deliver he children o Israel rom he slaveryo he Egypians, which was a ype o how Chris was odeliver His people rom he slavery o sin. However bohwere rejeced by heir brehren When he was ull ory

years old, i came ino his hear o visi his brehren hechildren o Israel. And seeing one o hem suer wrong,he deended him, and avenged him ha was oppressed,and smoe he Egypian: For he supposed his brehrenwould have undersood how ha God by his hand would

Chris, he Jewish naions rejecion was ar worse. Buwhen he Pharisees heard his, hey said, I is only by Bee-lzebub, he prince o demons, ha his ellow drives oudemons. Mat 12:24 Wha shall I do, hen, wih Jesus who is called Chris? Pilae asked. Tey all answered,Cruciy him!Mat 27:22. He came uno his own buhey received him no

As a rejecion by heir own people, hey boh wenuno he genile naion who received hem gladly. BuMoseswen o live in Midian, where he sa down by a

well. Now a pries o Midian had seven daughersMoses agreed o say wih he man, who gave his daugherZipporah o Moses in marriage.Exodu 2:15,16,21 UponHis rejecion by His ellow Israelies, Jesus urned o hegenile naions and ook, and is aking, or himsel a bride.I do no wan you o be ignoran o his mysery, broh-ers, so ha you may no be conceied: Israel has expe-rienced a hardening in par unil he ull number o heGeniles has come in. Rom 11:25 Boh also died or hechurch, slep in he grave or a while and were hen resur-reced ino heaven. {Jude 1:9}

Now all hese hings were writen as a esimony ohose hings ha should be ullled aer. In 1 Timohy3:16, we old And wihou conroversy grea is he mys-ery o godliness: God was manies in he esh, jusi-ed in he Spiri, seen o angels, preached uno he Gen-iles, believed on in he world, received up ino glory.Moses ullled his verse in ype, he was no God, ye we know God maniesed himsel in him in a way hahe had no wih oher men, hence why we are old: Andhere arose no a prophe since in Israel like uno Moses,whom he Lord knew ace o ace (Ex.odu 34:10). So,on earh, Chris was Te only-begoten Son, which isin he bosom o he Faher (John 1:18). I is sriking o behold in Exodus 31 o 34 how Moses passed and re-passed beween Jehovah in he moun and he camp ohe congregaion: expressive o his equal access o heavenand earh and his inermediaely work or he children oIsrael. I is ineresing ha he also had o veil his ace ashe glory/characer o he Lord reeced on him as Chrishas o cloh his diviniy in humaniy o His people. Wih-ou a doub he mysery o God was ullled in Moses,

his mysery being Chris in you he hope o all glory. Iwas only hrough Chris and being jusied by His SpiriMoses was able o know God ace o ace and live. He wasalso seen o angels, preached uno he geniles, believed inhe world and received up in glory. Tis glory being dem-

onsraed on he moun o ransguraion where Mosesand Elijah were seen alking wih Jesus.

Te bible also demonsraed ha he 144,000 will alsogo hrough a similar experience. Once hey have cruciedhe esh and experience he new birh o he Spiri heyoo will have o ee rom he ace o he Dragon like Moses

and Chris did. Te Dragon primarily represens Saan bu he maniess himsel hrough human insrumens,we saw his in Pharaoh, in Herod and we will see his inhe civil power oday as well as Aposae Proesanism:Kings and rulers and governors have placed upon hem-selves he brand o anichris, and are represened as hedragon who goes o make war wih he sains--wih hosewho keep he commandmens o God and who have heaih o Jesus. {Tesimonie o Miniser 38} Proesan-ism, a power which, while proessing o have he emper

and spiri o a lamb and o be allied o Heaven, speakswih he voice o a dragon. I is moved by a power rombeneah. {Maranha 187.2}

As Moses and Chris spen ime in he wilderness orpreparaion, we also will need o spend preparaory imein he counryside, hence why he Spiri hrough EllenWhie has been calling Gods people o come ou o heciy ino he counryside, so we can orm he righ char-

acer. Tis is a unied esimony by all he prophes whowere ranslaed or prepared he way or he coming o heLord, I.e., Enoch, Elijah, Moses and John. Tey each dwelin rural locaions or a season.

As Paul wries: How ha by revelaion hemade known uno me he mysery; (as I wroe aore in

In 1835 as a young man hen living in Boson, NewEngland Foy gave his hear o Chris. A all youngman o eloquen speech he became a seminary-

rained black Freewill Bapis preacher.A rs he was opposed o he docrine o Jesus near

approach [he Millerie message], bu aer receiving wo

visions rom he Lord he was convinced o Jesus soonreurn and began ravelling o various places heraldinghe message o Chriss Second Adven.

Due o he prejudice o being an Arican Americanin he 1800s Foy iniially hesiaed o relae he visionshe Lord was impressing upon him o share. Evenuallyhowever he burden o ohers souls became oo much orhim o say silen and he began o publically relae hepropheic visions given him.

John Loughborough describes William Foys gi oprophecy. Te rs o be noiced is ha o a godly man, -a well-educaed and alened miniser by he name o Wil-liam Foy, who resided in Boson, Mass. A wo dierenimes during he year 1842, he Lord came so near o himha he was wrapped in holy vision. One o hese occa-sions was on January 18, and he oher was on February 4.By inviaion he wen rom ciy o ciy o ell o he won-derul hings he had seen; and in order o accommodaehe vas crowds who assembled o hear him Whendwelling upon he ender, compassionae love o Chrisor poor sinners, he exhored he unconvered o seek

God, and scores responded o his ender enreaies. J. N.Loughborough Heavenly Viion he Prophei Gif, page 27paragraph 4

Te Lord saw o give William Foy a hird visionshowing a hree sep pahway or he people o God o

he Holy ciy. Tis hree sep pahway depiced he rs,second and hird angels messages. However due o Foyexpecing he Lord Jesus o come in a shor ime heailed o recognize he ac ha a hird message was oollow he rs and second messages o Revelaion 14.Consequenly he vision, o him, was inexplicable, and

he ceased public speaking. J. N. Loughborough HeavenlyViion he Prophei Gif, page 27 paragraph 4

In he year 1845 however William Foy was presen a ameeing in which he heard Ellen Harmon (Ellen G Whieonce married) he same vision as he had, wih he expla-naion ha he rs and second messages had been given,and ha a hird was o ollow.

Ellen Whie describes he even during an inerviewconduced by D. E. Robinson on Augus 13, 1906:

Tey had appoined or me o speak ha nigh, and Idid no know ha he was here.. While I was alking Iheard a shou, and he is a grea, all man, and he roo wasraher low, and he jumped righ up and down, and oh, hepraised he Lord, praised he Lord. I was jus wha hehad seen, jus wha he had seen. Bu hey exolled himso I hink i hur him, and I do no know wha becameo him. He was a very all man, slighly colored. Bu i

was remarkable [he] esimonies ha he bore. {17MR96.2-3}

Wih he help o wo Millerie publishers, John andCharles H. Pearson, Foy published his rs wo visions

on January 3, 1845, eniled Te Chrisian Experienceo William E. Foy.

Questions & Answers

Very ineresing quesion! When dealing wih he mis-akes on he 1843 char, i is very imporan or us o goo he source o his concep and ry o undersand whais acually being described. I have seen ha he 1843char was direced by he hand o he Lord, and ha ishould no be alered; ha he gures were as He wanedhem; ha His hand was over and hid a misake in someo he gures, so ha none could see i, unil His hand

was removed. {EW 74.1} Here Siser Whie is shown amisake (singular) in some o he gures (plural). Wha

is being idenied here is a singular misake ha impacsmore han one gure. Tis single misake had nohing odo wih he symbols/picures used on he char, he imeprophecies or he mehodology behind hem, he mis-ake was in he calculaions o he propheic periods. I

was his miscalculaion which lead o he rs disappoinon March 21s 1843. Aer he passing o he ime in 1843many wen back and sudied earnesly or an explanaion.

Again hey were led o heir Bibles o search he propheicperiods. Te hand o he Lord was removed rom he g-ures, and he misake was explained. Tey saw ha hepropheic periods reached o 1844, and ha he sameevidence which hey had presened o show ha he pro-pheic periods closed in 1843, proved ha hey would er-minae in 1844. {EW 236.1} As sudens o prophecy weundersand ha when calculaing ime prophecies whichsar in BC and end in AD, an addiional year needs o beadded as a resul o here being he year AD 0. However

William Miller and his associaes did no see his and hawas he misake ha was made. Such a simple misake!However, none discerned i no even he mos learned

men o ha ime. Te misake made in reckoning hepropheic periods was no a once discovered even bylearned men who opposed he views o hose who werelooking or Chriss coming. Tese proound scholarsdeclared ha Mr. Miller was righ in his calculaion o he

ime, hough hey dispued him in regard o he even hawould crown ha period. {ST, Marh 30, 1876 par. 3}Many use his scenario as a reason o disregard he charand he ruhs held herein, and have caused many o lookupon he char and he hisory o our church as one ullo shame, negligence and disappoinmen. However cas-ing our minds back oEarly Wriing page 74, we read hahe 1843 char was direced by he hand o he lord and

his hand was over and hid a misake. So he disappoin-men aced by he Milleries on March 21s 1843 was all

par o Gods providence. God designed ha His peopleshould mee wih a disappoinmen. Te ime passed, andhose who had looked wih joyul expecaion or heirSaviour were sad and dishearened, while hose who hadno loved he appearing o Jesus, bu embraced he mes-sage hrough ear, were pleased ha He did no come ahe ime o expecaion. Teir proession had no aecedhe hear and puried he lie. Te passing o he ime

was well calculaed o reveal such hears. {EW 235.3}Te aih o he Milleries was esed and as a resuls woclasses o worshipers were produced; hose who had apersonal experience, a aih in God and in His word whichcould no be overhrown by disappoinmen and delay,and hose who were saised wih he ickering ligh ogood emoions, wihou a horough undersanding o heruh or a genuine work o grace in he hear. {GC 393.4}Tis even is eaching us ha our experience is no o be jus a proession bu a living experience which purieshe lie. I we ail o have his experience while proessinghe 3rd angels message we will end up being par o heclass who draws back when he nal crisis comes because

we knew no wha we believed. Now he jus shall liveby aih: bu i any man draw back, my soul shall have nopleasure in him. Bu we are no o hem who draw backuno perdiion; bu o hem ha believe o he saving ohe soul. Hebrew 10:38-39
