"Elder Bates was resting upon Saturday, the seventh day of the week, and he urged it upon our attention as the true Sabbath. I did not feel its importance, and thought that he erred in dwelling upon the fourth commandment more than upon the other nine. But the Lord gave me a view of the heavenly sanctuary. The temple of God was opened in heaven, and I was shown the ark of God covered with the mercy seat. Two angels stood one at either end of the ark with ... ...

352: Trinity: The role of Constantine in the Nicene creed
... The majority who opposed the creed were not aligned with Arius! The "majority who disliked" firmly believed that Jesus was God, they didn't like the Greek terms used to describe Jesus deity, not that they rejected the deity itself! When Frend says "The great majority of the Eastern bishops found themselves in a false position" he tells us what that position is: "The great majority of the Eastern clergy were ultimately disciples of Origen. Future generations have tended to dub them "Semi-Arian." ... Constantine was quite impartial, but wanted peace. He was a peacemaker! Even if this was true, Constantine's son showed "equal bias" towards Arius for 50 years, yet in the end, Arius was refuted! Detailed documentation: When Constantine came upon the temple mount in Jerusalem, he destroyed the temple of Jupiter that had been built in 135 AD by Hadrian. In building the "Church of the Holy Sepulchre" in 325 AD, Eusebius records how Constantine even removed the soil on the site and dumped it far ... ...

The gates are twelve single pearls. The city itself and its streets are pure gold, yet like transparent glass. This is found in Revelation 21:18, 19, 21. And the whole city is lighted by the glory of God. Heaven is a place of matchless blessings. Jesus has prepared a mansion for us there. Great treasure is stored up for us; in fact, the saints "will inherit all things" (Revelation 21:7). The leaves of the tree of life will guarantee our health. and the crystal pure water of the river of life will flow from the throne of God to the tree of eternal life. For the first time since the Garden of Eden, God's children may eat out of this tree in His paradise (Genesis 3:22 and Revelation 2:7). In heaven we will be given new names, new imperishable bodies. and we will be clothed in the white robes of righteousness.

In a fourth scene (vv 175-192) Moses repeats these rules before the elders of the people (Exod 12:21-28, with the significant omission of the obligatory circumcision of all participants; a concession to his pagan audience?). In the fifth scene (vv 193-242) an Egyptian messenger gives an eyewitness account of the complete destruction of the Egyptian army in the Red Sea (Exodus 14, with significant haggadic details, on which see Jacobson 1983: 136-52), which is a striking parallel to Aeschylus' Persians where the crushing defeat of the Persian army is reported to the Persian queen, another well-known device for realizing dramatic scenes which were impossible to stage. In the sixth scene (vv 243-269) scouts report to Moses that they have found a paradisiacal place for the encampment (namely Elim, Exod 15:27) and describe at length a marvelous and gigantic bird that they have seen there.

358: Pseudo-Philo: 60 AD Creation in 5886 BC, Septuagint Chronology
The presence of a Palestinian biblical text in LAB allows us to establish A.D. 100 as the date before which LAB must have been composed. The biblical documents from Murabba'at suggest that by the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. an authoritative text of the Hebrew Bible had been promulgated and that this text was the archetype of the medieval Masoretic manuscripts." The scrolls found at Masada may even enable us to push back the existence of the rabbinic recension, if not its official ... A date at the turn of the era is suggested by the silence about the destruction of the Second Temple, the assumption that worship continued at the Jerusalem Temple, and the use of a Hebrew biblical text-type that was suppressed around 100 C.E. (Perrot and Bogaert 1976: 22-74). Those who argue for a late 1st- or early 2d-century C.E. dating (James 1917) appeal to the parallels with 4 Ezra and 2 Baruch (both post-70 C.E.), the great interest in Jewish leaders, and the possible allusion to the fall ... ...

Three fires of Hebrews 12:29: The final statement "our God is a consuming fire" connects fire to Mt. Sinai in 1446 BC, tongues of fire on Pentecost AD 33 and the "flaming fire of destruction" (2 Thess 1:7) at the second coming. 6. Paul's Midrashic method of applying Haggai 2:3-9 first to Pentecost AD 33, then the destruction of the physical universe at the second coming provides a perfect template with which to decode the Olivet Discourse. a. Jews today never read the New Testament much less study it and are therefore unaware of the Midrashic interpretive style of the Mishna and Talmud is the same as the Christian Bible. b.

364: Which Old Testament text did Jesus prefer and quote from?
... Mark 11:27), who evidently readily perceived that the parable had been told "against them" and not against the general populace (cf. Mark 12:12). Why was this parable so understood, when it is obviously based on a prophetic parable that spoke to the nation as a whole? The answer is found once again in the Isaiah Targum, which in place of "tower" and "wine vat" reads "sanctuary" and "altar" (cf. Isa 5:2 and Tg. Isa 5:2),3' institutions which will be destroyed (cf. Isa 5:5 and Tg. Isa 5:5). The Isaiah Targum has significantly shifted the thrust of the prophetic indictment against the priestly establishment. Jesus' parable seems to reflect this orientation: the prob-lem does not lie with the vineyard; it lies with the caretakers of the vineyard. A few of these components appear outside of the New Testament and the Isaiah Targum. In 1 Eiioch 89:66-67 the temple is referred to as a "tower." Its first destruction is referred to, but with-out any apparent allusion to Isa 5. This Enochic ... ...

... "On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: 'Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.'" "Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear." In Acts 1:4 the NIV takes great liberties by inserting "the gift" (not found in any Greek text) coupled with "my Father promised." The Greek simply states: "the promise of the Father." With the NIV rendering, one is not able to consider the possibility that Jesus is referencing a promise rather than to the "gift" of the Holy Spirit. Similarly in Acts 2:33 the NIV forces the view that Christ received the Holy Spirit himself, rather than allowing the possibility that he received the promise of (or made by) the Spirit (cf. Acts 2:27). Acts 3:1; 5:7; 10:3; 10:9; 10:30, etc. "Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour." ... ...

372: The Exodus Route: Red Sea Camp at the Straits of Tiran
... However, contrary to Yadin's position, the six-spoked wheel is found before 1400 B.C. But he is basically correct in stating that the six-spoked wheel is consistently shown on chariots after 1400 B.C. Yadin's explanation for the shift in the number of wheel spokes is hardly convincing. The Egyptians were certainly jingoistic, but it is stretching the point to believe that they would alter the number of wheel spokes merely to "shake off Canaanite influences," and thereby assert their nationalistic identity. They were eminently practical, and we must seek a practical reason for the change. The six-spoked wheel from the reign of Amenhotep II suggests that the shift must have begun even earlier. Thutmose III, Amenhotep IFs predecessor, launched at least military campaigns into Syria-Palestine; one might surmise that in these circumstances the Egyptian chariot would undergo certain changes in order to achieve maximum performance.

377: "Scientology: From Science Fiction to Space-age Religion"
... Perhaps the most fruitful area to begin with is by noting Hubbard's expertise as a science fiction writer. In fact, many of the themes one finds in Scientology can also be found in his science fiction works.[36] For Hubbard "life is a game," and this is about the only thing that gives it any real meaning.[37] The various exploits of thetans in the past trillions of years are their _lila_ (or sport) -- the games they play to keep eternal boredom at bay. Certainly many critics would contend that the adventures of thetans -- as chronicled in, for example, Hubbard's _A History of Man_ and _Have You Lived Before This Life?_ -- should be ranked among his science fiction work. From the latter book consider one alleged "past life" incident of a Scientology counselee as uncovered by a Scientology auditor using his E-meter: The preclear was on Mars without a body 469,476,600 years ago, creating havoc, destroying a bridge and buildings.

380: Rapture Doctrine invented by John Darby in 1830 AD
... The number of evening and morning sacrifices that were prevented totaled roughly 2,300 (of each). Either reading of the text, then, finds fulfillment in history. Nonetheless, William Miller believed that the cleansing of the temple mentioned in Daniel 8 was the purification of the earth by fire at Christ's second coming. Miller assumed that all prophecies referring to "days" must mean "years." Adding 2,300 years to the time of Daniel's prophecy gave Miller a date for Christ's return between March 21, 1843, and March 21, 1844. He began to teach this view and gained a wide following in the northeastern United States. Despite the great excitement that Miller generated, March 21, 1844, came and went without the return of Christ. Miller was devastated, but one of his followers went back through the calculations and found what he believed to be an error. A new date was set: October 22, 1844. When October 1844 did not pan out, either, some of Miller's followers abandoned the movement. Many, ... ...

381: Eternal torment proved ... annihilation refuted
... We can think of someone being "destroyed" or "wiped out" in an emotional sense without implying that the person has ceased to exist. ("Death and The Afterlife" by Robert Morey, p. 108-111) 2. "Perish" or "perished." In various forms the word "perish" appears 152 times in the KJV. In the Old Testament, there are 11 Hebrew words which are translated as "perish." The main word ahvad is the same word which is frequently translated as "destroy." We have already seen that it is erroneous to assume that ahvad means annihilation. Sha mad is found in Jer. 48:42 where Moab is said to be destroyed in the sense of the people being enslaved, not annihilated.

Fletcher pointed out that in the Bible speaking in tongues had not always accompanied an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, nor had those in whom the gifts of the Spirit were manifested necessarily displayed more holiness than others. If the "edification of the Church" required it, the Holy Spirit, in taking full possession of an individual, might bestow on him an "extraordinary gift." In general, however, the presence of the fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22, 23) would demonstrate that an individual had become a temple of the Holy Spirit. Fletcher's theology demanded recognition of the need for personal experiences with the Spirit of Pentecost. (John Fletcher, Works.) The kind of piety and devotion which characterized John Fletcher found expression in the diary of his wife Mary. Mrs. Fletcher's attitude was at once desirous and expectant.

On Luke 16: "The plot of the parable, the reversal of earthly fortunes after death, was familiar in popular Palestinian stories of Jesus' time. Hugo Gressmann cites a Greek parallel from a first-century Egyptian papyrus, and he says there are at least seven versions of the story in Jewish literature. One of the most famous involved a poor student of the Law and a rich publican named Bar Ma'jan.
