Parallels of Return from Babylon?

RETURN FROM LITERAL BABYLON:.............RETURN FROM SPIRITUAL BABYLON:

*About 50,000 Jews returned from literal Babylon
in the days of Cyrus to rebuild the Temple

Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia,

The LORD God of heaven hath given me

all the kingdoms of the earth;

and he hath charged me to

build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

Ezra 1:2

*About 50,000 is the estimate in the Millerite Movement

that came out of spiritual Babylon

to understand Daniel 8:14 resulting in eventually

restoring the Sanctuary of God in the presence of men on earth

And he said unto me,

Unto two thousand and three hundred days;

then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

Daniel 8:14

 

 

*A prophet was called up for the
rebuilding of the Temple-HAGGAI

Then came the word of the LORD

by Haggai the prophet, saying,

Is it time for you, O ye,

to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?

Go up to the mountain, and bring wood,

and build the house;

and I will take pleasure in it,

and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.

Haggai 1:3,4,8

 

*A prophet was called up to focus

on restoring focus on the Sanctuary-Ellen G. White

And the dragon was wroth with the woman,

and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,

which keep the commandments of God,

and have the testimony of Jesus Christ...

..for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Revelation 12:17/19:10

 

"And as the prophecy of Daniel 8:14 is fulfilled in this dispensation, the sanctuary to which it refers must be the sanctuary of the new covenant.


At the termination of the 2300 days, in 1844, there had been no sanctuary on earth for many centuries. Thus the prophecy, "Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed," unquestionably points to the sanctuary in heaven.

But the most important question remains to be answered: What is the cleansing of the sanctuary? That there was such a service in connection with the earthly sanctuary is stated in the Old Testament Scriptures. But can there be anything in heaven to be cleansed? In Hebrews 9 the cleansing of both the earthly and the heavenly sanctuary is plainly taught. "Almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these [the blood of animals]; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these" (Hebrews 9:22, 23), even the precious blood of Christ."

*A register of people past was eventually found

And I found a register of the genealogy

 of them which came up at the first...

Nehemiah 7:5

 

*Adventism points to the Investigative Judgment--

--where the books are opened

Saying with a loud voice,

Fear God, and give glory to him;

for the hour of his judgment is come:..

... the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Revelation 14:7/Daniel 7:10

 

*God's returned people began to mix

with the world & weaken the Sabbath

And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them,

Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives,

to increase the trespass of Israel.

There dwelt men of Tyre also therein,

which brought fish, and all manner of ware,

and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah,

and in Jerusalem.

Then I contended with the nobles of Judah,

and said unto them,

What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?

Ezra 10:10/Nehemiah 13:16,17

 

*Some of God's people have mixed with the ways of the world-

- including watering down the Sabbath, celebration services,

women ordination, LGBT into the church,

Forensic Justification, tossing out the Sanctuary Doctrine,

theistic evolution, the Green religion, etc., ..

... by such rebels as Spectrum magazine &

Adventist Today magazine, God Encounters, etc.

And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;...

...Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods,

and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou

art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:....

(God's people split in 2 different directions)

..... and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses..

.. and the grisled go forth toward the south country.

And the bay went forth, and sought to go

that they might walk to and fro through the earth:

and he said, Get you hence,

walk to and fro through the earth.

So they walked to and fro through the earth.
