The light is advancing. Will you follow?

"There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error.  The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible.  Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair.  No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation."  (E. G. White, Review & Herald, Dec. 20, 1892.)

"Those who cling to old customs and hoary errors have lost sight of the fact that light is ever increasing upon the path of all who follow . . . [Yahushua]; truth is constantly unfolding to the people of . . . [Yahuwah].  We must be continually advancing if we are following our Leader.  It is when we walk in the light that shines upon us, obeying the truth that is open to our understanding, that we receive greater light.  We cannot be excusable in accepting only the light which our fathers had one hundred years ago.  If our . . . [Yahuwah]-fearing fathers had seen what we see, and heard what we hear, they would have accepted the light, and walked in it.  If we desire to imitate their faithfulness, we must receive the truths open to us, as they received those presented to them; we must do as they would have done, had they lived in our day."  (E. G. White, Historical Sketches, 1891, p. 197.)

The Biblical Calendar

The Jews of Yahushua’s day did not use the eight-day Julian week for their calendar. They still used the calendar of Moses, the same luni-solar calendar that had been handed down from Creation. The apostles and the earliest Christians all worshipped on the seventh-day Sabbath of the Biblical calendar, although by the second century, some Christians had been influenced enough by Mithraism to worship on Saturday or Sunday of the pagan, planetary week. This diversity of worship days with some worshipping on the seventh-day lunar Sabbath of the Biblical calendar, others on Saturday, still others on Sunday, continued until the Council of Nicea. At that time, the ancient calendar was set aside for religious purposes. The Council decreed that henceforth the pagan Julian calendar was to be used for all religious observances. This unilateral declaration could be enforced because the Council was backed by the imperial might of Constantine the Great. Jewish scholars recognize the impact Nicea...

Jonah and the Eclipse in Ancient Nineveh

As we await the eclipse of 2017 AD, this post examines the possibility that the dramatic repentance of Nineveh in Jonah 3:1-10 may have been galvanized by a total solar eclipse there that dates to June 15, 763 BCE, during the probable lifetime of Jonah. All sorts of details kick in to make this possibility highly plausible! We here in southern Illinois are about to be at the center of the umbra for the eclipse of a lifetime. I’ve been waiting for this one ever since I heard about it when I was growing up here 48 years ago. Ozzy Osbourne will be performing near SIU-Carbondale at a music event called Moonstock. People are planning to flood the entire totality path to see it happen. It’s been ages since a total solar eclipse tracked all the way across America from Pacific to Atlantic. We’ll see what the forecast holds. We’ll also see whether the mathematical projections of the shadow’s path by astronomers prove to be accurate; I find it mind-boggling to think that they can measure an...

The Beast Calendar

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, Aloisius Lilius was the “chief architect” of the Gregorian calendar. Lilius was a Roman Catholic physician and professor of medicine. His manuscript on calendar reform was presented to the Roman Curia in 1576, by his brother, Antonius. His ideas were used by Jesuit astronomer-priest, Christopher Clavius, for the new calendar. The calendar itself is named after Pope Gregory XIII. It is a papal device, through and through. Although the world today is united in its use of the Gregorian calendar, when it was first introduced, it was initially widely rejected by Protestant countries as a Catholic institution. A papal bull, Inter Gravissimas, issued Feb. 24, 1582, ordered Catholic clergy to accept it and exhorted Catholic monarchs to do the same. At the time, the only countries that accepted it were the Catholic countries of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland and most areas of France. It took nearly 350 years before all countries adopted the pope’s calen...
