Apocalypse NOW!
.
Part 24:
“Ellen White On God’s People Being Delivered”
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ellen White’s account of the future deliverance for God’s people is a most fearful presentation of soon-coming events.
.
And the Reader is highly encouraged to scroll down this page to listen to this 40-minute audio chapter 44 from her book, “The Great Controversy”.

“SPIRITUAL THINGS MUST BE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED”
1st Corinthians 2:14
.
This Chapter 44 from Great Controversy draws from many Bible passages from such books as Joel, Revelation, and other Bible prophecies.
.
Now, having said all this, it is not currently known how much of her fearful account must be understood literally or spiritually.
.
We do know that the Bible is a spiritual Book. And those who are spiritual will be ready to compare “spiritual things with spiritual” (see 1st Corinthians 2:13).

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
.
One important truth which must be remembered is that the Ten Commandments are a synopsis of the entire Bible. And so, those two stone tablets symbolize any and every Word of God. True, those who knew nothing of the Bible, will be judged by the Law according to the little light they had knowledge of.
.
But Christians will be judged by a much higher standard, even as it is written…“For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required” Luke 12:48
.
Yes, the more that a Christian knows of God’s Word, the higher will be the standard by which he or she will be judged.

THE 4TH COMMANDMENT
.
Now as the Noble Berean listens to this audio chapter found at almost the bottom of this page, the question of the 4th Commandment will be brought to mind.
.
What must be remembered is, that even though Ellen White often referred to the Old Testament understanding of the 7th-Day Sabbath, the New Testament Believer must keep in mind what Jesus spoke concerning “the Rest that remaineth” to the New Testament people of God. (see Hebrews 4:9, 10)
.
Listen to Jesus…
“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30
.
Here Jesus speaks of the true Sabbath that remains to the people of God. It is a spiritual “rest unto your souls”. And He speaks of the heavy burden of the labors of sins, and how we may escape this heavy burden by following Him as His disciples, ever learning of Him.
.
.
.
.
.
.
“THY WORD HAVE I HID IN MY HEART!”
.
One last comment concerning this audio Chapter 44, “God’s People Delivered”.
.
The listener should take note of how often Ellen White quotes from the Bible and appreciate her vast knowledge of the Bible.
.
Back in her day, faithful Christians such as she, spent many hours daily meditating on God’s Word to the point that they could readily inter-weave copious amounts of verses into their everyday casual conversations!

OUR DAILY BATTLE
.
Perhaps at the end of each day, maybe while lying down in bed, we need to spend much time thinking back on how we might have overcome that big or little attack by the Devil. Just what “exceeding great and precious promises” could have been employed, which would have given us the victory over the temptations which assailed us in our daily warfare?
.
Listen…Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
(2nd Peter 1:4)
.
Constant learning and hiding of the many Bible’s promises into our hearts is a critically important part of our daily walk in the Lord!
.
This is how we “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord!” 2nd Peter 3:18

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN

.
.
THE WOMAN ON THE ALTAR CONSTELLATION
.
.
.
.
.
“Let my prayer 
.
be set forth
.
before Thee as incense;
.
and the lifting up
.
of my hands
.
as the evening sacrifice.”
.
Psalm 142:2
.
.
.
.
LOCATING THIS CONSTELLATION…
.
This “Golden Altar” Constellation is only seen in winter through spring, in mid-sky. It is to the south of the “Fleeing Woman Constellation” (AKA Ursa Major or The Big Dipper).
.
The “Fleeing Woman of Revelation 12” Constellation is in the northeastern sky in this sketch. You would be facing east and looking very high up almost to mid-sky to see this constellation group this way. The altar is farther south but still in the eastern sky. This altar itself is commonly known as “Leo Major“, with the smoke rising being “Leo Minor“.
.
A little farther down this page is the sketch of this same constellation in the latter part of winter, when you look at them facing westward. You will notice that what looked like Gospel seed being cast from her left hand and left foot (see “Woman of Revelation 12-The Fleeing Woman” article for explanation of casting “Gospel Seed”) now appears like smoke or incense rising from the altar. It is not clear why the altar is sideways in back of the Woman. It would make more sense if it were directly under the Woman. However, the Lord must have some spiritual truth to convey concerning this odd positioning of the Altar. The 7 Stars (Big Dipper) is easy to see with its very bright 7 stars. But the Revelation 12 Woman (Ursa Major) must be seen on a dark starry night, away from city lights.
.
THE ZODIAC CONSTELLATION NAMES
It is not the purpose of www.theheavensdeclare.net to give any validity to the Zodiac or any pagan deities. But the common names of many constellations (such as Scorpio or Sagittarius, etc.), must be given, solely for the purpose of locating them on star-charts.
