Even Peter found Paul to be hard to understand at times.....

Even Peter thought some of Paul's writings were hard to understand  .....even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood,
And that people were misusing paul's writings, as they did other writings too....
which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 2 Peter 3:15,16
So if you sometimes find things like Galatians, or other writings of Paul hard to get, you are not alone.
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 2 Peter 3:17

These Words......

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, Revelation 22:12

FAITH

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. Luke 17:5
@ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
@ And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. Luke 17:6
@ .......I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galations 2:20

The Comandments of my GOD

Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. Psalm 119:115

Persecution and the End Times

But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. Luke 21:12
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Revelation 13:15

"The work which the church has failed to do in a time of peace and prosperity she will have to do in a terrible crises under the most discouraging, forbidding circumstances...The warnings that worldly conformity has silenced or withheld must be given under the fiercest opposition from enemies of the faith" Testimonies for the Church vol. 5, p.463 E.G.W.

Teach Me

@Lead me in thy truth,
@and teach me:
@for thou art the God of my salvation;
@on thee do I wait all the day. Psalm 25:5

What other purpose could the 2300 days (years) have served?

During the 2300 year prophecy of Daniel 8:14, there was also time for the Gospel to go to all the world. During this time the so-called "Christian" nations conquered and colonized nearly the whole world. The missionaries followed. By 1844 the world had been covered- now was time for the Gospel to sink in and take root.
Now, with our rapid increase in knowledge and technology, we are a global village. (24 hour cable news, internet, twitter, social networking, etc). The whole world is connected. So when the mark of the beast is implemented-all will see and be able to decide who they will follow.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; Revelation 14:9,10

Why the wait?

He is waiting for-
1) The seed to be sown in all the world
2) The ripening of the harvest
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

"Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own." Christ's Object Lessons p. 69 E.G.W.

And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. Revelation 14:15

Don't Follow the Crowd

Don't follow the crowd....
Remember what the crowd said....
But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Luke 23:21

Instruction from the pen of Inspiration

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses,
@let us lay aside every weight,
@and the sin which doth so easily beset us,
@and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:1

Divine Locksmith

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell (the grave) and of death. Revelation 1:18
