If you Believe on Me (Jesus Christ)

 

  You'll Never Die

if you live until My

Second Coming!

    After many attempts to predict the TIME of Christ's SECOND COMING, both Adventists and other Christians missed that it was not a TIME but an EVENT that was being predicted.

    ACTUALLY NOT JUST ONE EVENT BUT A SERIES OF EVENTS THAT TAKEN TOGETHER CAN BE IDENTIFIED, BECAUSE THEY OCCUR IN THE SAME SEQUENCE OR ORDER IN AT LEAST 5 OR MORE PLACES, 4 IN THE BIBLE AND OTHERS IN ELLEN WHITE'S WRITINGS.  TOGETHER, THESE EVENTS ARE EQUIVALENT TO THE "SECOND COMING OF CHRIST".  THE "EVENT" CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR AND HOPING FOR FOR OVER 1900 YEARS!

     John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God (Jehovah-Yahweh) believe also in me (the Son of God, Jesus Christ).

       2 "In my Fathers HOUSE (referring to both TIME and SPACE, not an actual building made of brick or stone and morter) are many MANSIONS (this can now refer to this second meaning, buildings, houses, very nice houses): If it were not so I would have told you.   I go to prepare a PLACE for you."

      Since both MEANINGS have now been mentioned as a possibility, this PLACE can be either a TIME or buildings like a house or city --- or BOTH!

      3 "And if I go and prepare a PLACE for you, I will come again, (to the group of Essenes he was talking to, not to us, 2000 years in his future), and recieve you (his fellow Essenes) unto myself, that where I am (in the 19th and 20th centuries), there ye (the first century Essenes) may be also."

   REAL PREDICTION: A rebirth of Essene theology (the theology of John 3:18-21) in the 19th and 20th century. Seventh-day Adventists fulfilled this prophecy in the 19th century, but grew tired of Essene Theology, and most of them relapsed into standard Nicene Creed Theology in the 20th century, rejoining what Ellen White labeled as "Nominal Christianity".

    4 "And whither I go ye know, (his audience was composed of Astrologers, so they knew he was talking of TIME and SPACE), and the WAY ye know. (The "Way" was the word used by the Essenes to refer to their own theology and predictions)

    5 "Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest (true, the only way to know the FUTURE is to live in it), and how can we know the WAY?" (Now the more conventional meaning of "Way" -- and of course the only way that anyone can know the future, besides living in it, is to talk to someone who has "been there and done that".

     6 "Jesus saith unto him, "I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Essenes, like those to whom Jesus was speaking in John 14:1-6

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THIS:

EVEN THOUGH ADVENTISTS SLIPPED
BACK INTO NON-ESSENE THEOLOGY BETWEEN 1888 AND THE 1950s -- THEY HAD BEFORE THAT FULFILLED JESUS' PROMISE TO THE ESSENES OF JOHN 14

AND NOW HE WAS FREE TO FULFILL OTHER PROMISES TO HIS OTHER LONG-DEPRIVED AND IGNORED "CHILDREN" THE PENTECOSTALS AND THE JEWS!

While promising Adventists Eternal Life:

"Immortality"

It's only on the CONDITION of belief in Jesus Christ as their Savior:

"Conditional"

And initially, during the first 40+ years of Adventism, from 1844 through 1888, other Conditions thought to be required were living a good life, performing "GOOD WORKS", quitting smoking cigarettes, no consumption of alcoholic beverages, wearing no jewelry and wearing representative "Christian" clothing, and following other instructions to be found in
