Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Daniel 9:25
The Jews were to do this until the Messiah came (1st Advent)---Spiritual Application for us would be until the 2nd Advent of the Messiah ....but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation,...Isaiah 60:18
I. Build Jerusalem - a city of TRUTH of Salvation
II. Build the Street - the Narrow Path
III. Build the Wall - repairers of the Breach in the Wall of the Law of God
When THEY call us to Ecumenicalism--
Maryland, by Dr. Ganoune Diop, director of Public Affairs and Religious Liberty (PARL). In introducing the publication, Dr. Diop said the goal was to study the impact of the Reformation on a core Adventist value—the freedom of religion and belief.
For this reason, said Dr. Diop, the book aims to bring together a mosaic of different perspectives on the Reformation and freedom of conscience—not just from Adventist thinkers, but from representatives of other denominations as well, including Baptists, Mennonites, and Quakers.
Among the contributors to A Conversation on the Reformation are Pastor Ted N.C. Wilson, president of the Adventist world church; Dr. David Trim, Adventist historian and director of Archives, Statistics, and Research at the General Conference;
Dr. Neville Callam, General Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Baptist World Alliance; Rev. César García, General Secretary of the Mennonite World Conference;
Ms. Gretchen Castle, General Secretary of the Friends World Committee for Consultation, Professor David Little, research fellow at Georgetown University’s Berkley Center,
and Professor W. Cole Durham, Jr., renowned Mormon legal scholar.
The book draws on presentations made at a symposium earlier this year organized by the General Conference PARL department. The event, held June 1 at the Newseum in downtown Washington, D.C., brought together scholars and religious leaders, along with religious freedom advocates, to commemorate the 500-year anniversary of the Reformation.
Among the diverse themes explored in the book are the shaping of Adventist identity, the Christian “impulse to persecute,” the so-called Radical Reformation, and the Mormon restorationist view of the Reformation." PARL

Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian,
and the rest of our enemies,
heard that I had builded the wall,
and that there was no breach left therein;
That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying,
Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono.
But they thought to do me mischief.
Nehemiah 6:1,2
Respond like Nehemiah--
And I sent messengers unto them, saying,
I am doing a great work,
so that I cannot come down:
why should the work cease,
whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
Nehemiah 6:3
When Diop met on the plain of Ono...
"The book, A Conversation on the Reformation, Christian Identity, and Freedom of Conscience, was launched October 31 at the church’s General Conference world headquarters in Silver Spring, When Diop met on the plain of Ono...
