understood and is chronologically
connected with other like
prophecies of the Bible, the
marvelous agenda of God will be
revealed.
➢ Every child of God should be intelligent in the Scriptures, and able, by tracing the
fulfillment of prophecy, to show our position in this world’s history. The bible was
written for the common people as well as for scholars, and is within the
comprehension of all. The great truths which underlie man’s duty to his fellow men
and to his Maker are clearly revealed; and those who really want the truth need make
no mistake. The way is not left in uncertainty, as though we were standing where four
roads met, not knowing which one to take. The truth is our guide; it is to us like a pillar
of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.

➢ The many contradictory opinions in regard to what the Bible teaches do not arise from any obscurity in
the book itself, but from blindness and prejudice on the part of interpreters. Men ignore the plain
statements of the Bible to follow their own perverted reason. Priding themselves on their intellectual
attainments, they overlook the simplicity of truth; they forsake the fountain of living waters to drink of the
poisonous stream of error. – Review and Herald, Jan. 27, 1885.

➢ There is yet much precious truth to be revealed to the people in this time of peril and darkness, but it is
Satan’s determined purpose to prevent the light of truth from shining into the hearts of men. If we would
have the light that has been provided for us, we should show our desire for it by diligently searching the
word of God CSW 23.2
 “
Precious truths that have long been in obscurity
are to be revealed in a light that will make
manifest their sacred worth; for God will glorify
His word, that it may appear in a light in which we
have never before beheld it.
CSW 25
 “But those who profess to love the truth must put to the stretch
their powers, that they may comprehend the deep things of the word, that
God may be glorified and His people may be blessed and enlightened.
With humble hearts, subdued by the grace of God, you should come to the
task of searching the Scriptures, prepared to accept every ray of divine
light, and to walk in the way of holiness.”

“Jesus as Teacher”
❑ The Bible uses many terms to describe Jesus. He is the Son of God, the Messiah, the Son of man, the
Savior, the Redeemer, the Lord, the Lamb of God, just to mention a few. But those people who knew
Him best during His three-plus years of public ministry in Judea and Galilee, He was a teacher. They
called Him “Master,” or “Rabbi.” Both men the same thing, namely, “Teacher.”
▪ Therefore, the teaching profession and the work of teaching must have been a particularly suitable
way for Jesus to carry out His public ministry. Somehow His work of Redemption is akin to the work
of teaching. What is more, it was foretold by the gospel prophet.
▪ Read Isaiah 11:1-9 What does it reveal about the teaching role
▪ “One of the most startling Messianic prophecies in the Scriptures is found in Isaiah 11:1-3 portray the
coming Messiah in educational terms, someone who brings knowledge, counsel, wisdom, and
understanding. The whole passage concludes with this remarkable promise: “The earth shall be full
of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” (Isa.11:9). Perhaps it was such teachings
of Scripture that inspired Ellen G. White in her book on education to note that the work of education
and the work of Redemption are one (See Education, p.30)”

Root and Branch in One (Isaiah 11)

❑ Who is the “shoot” that comes out “from the stump of Jesse” (NRSV) in Isaiah 11:1?
See also Zech. 3:8; Zech. 6:12).
▪ Isaiah 11:1 picks up on the imagery of a felled tree in 10:33, 34.
▪ The “stump of Jesse” represents the idea that the dynasty of David (son of Jesse) would lose its
power (Dan.4:10-17, 20-26). But these would rise a “shoot/branch” from the apparently doomed
“stump;” that is, a Ruler descended from David.
▪ Why is the new Davidic ruler also called the “root of Jesse?” (Isaiah 11:10)
▪ What sense does this make? (Rev. 22:16)
▪ The description fits only Jesus Christ, who is both “the root and the descendant of David”
(Rev.22:16,NRSV).
 First Quarterly Lesson
January 27, 2021
Root and Branch in One (Isaiah 11)

▪ Christ came from the line of David (Luke 3:23-31), who was descended from Adam, who was the
“son of God” (Luke 3:38) in the sense that Christ created him (see John 1:1-3, 14).
▪ So, Christ was David’s ancestor, as well as his descendant! In what ways does he new Davidic Ruler
reverse the evil effects of sin and apostasy? (Isaiah 11). He thinks and acts in harmony with the Lord,
judges fairly, punishes the wicked, and brings peace. When He takes over, the Lord will bring back,
restore, and unite a faithful remnant of Israel and Judah (compare Isa. 10:20-22).
▪ There will be a strong, united monarchy as in the days of King David, who defeated the Philistines
and other peoples. But the new Ruler will be greater than David in that He will restore peace even to
the essence of creation itself: predators will no longer be carnivorous, and they will coexist in
tranquility with their former prey (Isa. 11:6-9).
▪ Is Isaiah 11 talking about just the first coming of Christ, just the second, or both?

Look through the prophecy and mark down which texts talk about which coming.
 First Quarterly Lesson

Root and Branch in One (Isaiah 11)
❑ In Isaiah 11, both comings of Jesus are presented as one picture.
▪ They are tied together, because they are two parts of a whole, lie the two sides of a flat plane. The plan
of salvation, to be completed, requires both Comings: the First, which already has happened; and the
Second, which we await as the consummation of all our hopes as Christians.
▪ What did Christ accomplish at the First Coming that gives us such assurance about the Second Coming?
▪ What is the purpose of the First Coming if it doesn’t result in the Second?
❑ Isaiah 11:9
“They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the
Lord, as the waters cover the sea.”
▪ The issue at hand is to find out when will this verse will be fulfilled. Before or after the earth made
new?

Let us now analyze the whole chapter

 Genealogy of Jesus

❑ Isaiah 11: 1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, ad a Branch shall grow out of
his roots: 2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3 And shall make
him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,
neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and
reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5 And righteousness shall be girdle of his
loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the
leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a
little child shall lead them. 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down
together: and lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the
asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. 9 “They shall not hurt nor
destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the
waters cover the sea.”
❑ All come forth from their graves the same in stature as when they entered the tomb. Adam, who stands
among the risen throng, is of lofty height and majestic form, in stature but little below the Son of God. He
presents a marked contrast to the people of later generations; in this one respect is shown the great
degeneracy of the race. But all arise with the freshness and vigor of eternal youth…
❑ All blemishes and deformities are left in the grave. Restored to the tree of life in the long-lost Eden, the
redeemed will “grow up: to the full stature of the race in its primeval glory… {CC 23} LDE 291.
❑ There are men today who express their belief that there will be marriages and births in the new earth;
but those who believe the Scriptures cannot accept such doctrines. The doctrine that children will be
born in the new earth is not a part of the “sure word of prophecy” (2 Peter 1:19). The words of Chricst
are too plain to be misunderstood.
❑ They should forever settle the question of marriages and births in the new earth. Neither those who shall
be raised from the dead, nor those who shall be translated without seeing death, will marry or be given in
marriage. They will be as the angels of God, members of the royal family. 1 SM 172
❑ Seeing that all (ADULTS and CHILDREN) who go to heaven will be feeding on the tree of life
and growing up to the lofty statue of Adam and there will be no new birth in the earth made
new.

❑ Then verses 6 to 9 is not talking about the new earth but instead the restoration Jerusalem
before the commencement of the millennium.

❑ Further proof as we go along…

 “
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all
my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of
the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters covers
the sea.
 “
At the time verse 9 is fulfilled some thing else
takes place showing that the gospel work is not
finished. Meaning that human probation was not
closed.
 Isaiah 11

▪ 10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall
the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
▪ 11 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover
the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from
Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
❑ The sequence of events in Isaiah 11 has baffled the minds of many great theologians. This can be easily
cleared up if we understand the full plan of salvation as outline in God’s agenda void of our preconceived
idea of how the gospel work is to be finished. History has demonstrated that God’s people can deliberate
on the past and future but most times misunderstood the present.
▪ 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather
together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
▪ 13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not
envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
 Isaiah 11

▪ 14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east
together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them
(Arabs—Jacob’s relatives)
▪ 15 And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he
shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make [men] go over dryshod.
▪ 16 And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it
was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
 “
The same prophecy from another
angle in Jeremiah 23.
 Jeremiah 23

▪ 1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! Saith the LORD. 2 Therefore
thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and
driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the
LORD. 3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will
bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4 And I will set up shepherds over
them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking,
saith the LORD. 5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch,
and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 6 In his days
Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely: and this [is] his name whereby he shall be called, THE
LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more
say, the LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; 8 But, the LORD liveth,
which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all
countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
 Jeremiah 33

▪ 14 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto
the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

▪ 15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he
shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

▪ 16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this [is the
name] wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.

Let us examine the historical
background of Ancient Israel.
 The Division of the Twelve Tribes
28
And the man Jeroboam [was] a mighty
man of valour: and Solomon seeing the
young man that he was industrious, he
made him ruler over all the charge of the
house of Joseph.
29
And it cam to opass at that time when
Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that
the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found
him in the way; andhe had clad himself
with a new garment; and they two
[were] along in the field:
30
And Ahijah caught the new garment
that [was] on him, and rent it [in] twelve
pieces:
1 Kings 11:
31
And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee
ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the
God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the
kingdom out of the hand of Solomon,
and will give ten tribes to thee.
34
Howbeit I will not take the whole
kingdom out of his hand: but I will
make him prince all the days of his life
for David my servant’s sake, whom I
chose, because hekept my
commandments and my statutes:
35
But I will take the kingdom
out of his son’s hand, and will
give it unto thee, [even] ten
tribes.
36
And unto his son will I give
one tribe, that David my
servant may have a light
always before me in
Jerusalem, the city which I
have chosen me to put my
name there.

chastised you with whips, but I will

 “
The Division
The breach created by the rash speech of Rehoboam proved irreparable.
Thenceforth the 12 tribes of Israel were divided, the tribes of Judah and
Benjamin composing the lower or southern kingdom of Judah, under the
rulership of Rehoboam; while the 10 northern tribes formed and maintained a
separate government, known as the kingdom of Israel, with Jeroboam as
their ruler. Thus was fulfilled the prediction of the prophet concerning the
rending of the kingdom. “The cause was from the Lord.” verse 15.
Prophet and Kings 91
 The Division of the Twelve Tribes
16
So when all Israel saw that the king
hearkened not unto them, the people
answered the king, saying, What portion
have we in David? Neither [have we ]
inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your
tents, O Israel: now see to thine own
house, David. So Israel departed unto their
tents.
17
But [as for] the children of Israel which
dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam
reighned over them.
1 Kings 12:
18
Then the kind Rehoboam sent Adoram,
who [was] over the tribute; and all Israel
stoned him with stones, that he died.
Therefore king Rehoboam made speed
to get him up to his chariot, to flee to
Jerusalem.
19
Israel rebelled against the house of
David unto this day.
20
And it came to pass, when all Israel
heard that Jeroboam was come again,
that they sent and called him unto the
congregation, and made him king over
all Israel:
there was none that followed the
house of David, but the tribe of
Judah only.
21
And when Rehoboam was come to
Jerusalem, he assembled all the
house of Judah, with the tribe of
Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore
thousand chosen men, which were
warriors, to fight against the house
of Israel, to bring the kingdom again
to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
22
But the word of God came unto
Shemaiah the of God, saying,

For I will take you from among the
heathen, and gather you out of all

Not for your sakes do I [this], saith the Lord Then the heathen that are left round about
GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and you shall know that I the LORD build the
confounded for your own ways, O house of ruined [places, and] plant that that was
Israel. desolate: I the LORD have spoken [it], and I
34 will do [it].
And the desolate land shall be tilled,
whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all
that passed by.
35
And they shall say, This land that was
desolate is become like the garden of Eden;
and the waste and desolate and ruined
cities [are become] fenced, [and] and
inhabited.
▪ Now we can better understand Isaiah 11.
▪ Though it is not a popular doctrine but it is God’s CLEAR agenda to restore
the HOLY LAND during probationary time. That is when the lamb, the lion,
the snake and the little child will lie down together. This part of the world
will become like the GARDEN OF EDEN where he will gather the saints
JUST PRIOR to taking them to heaven for a thousand years. We notice that
the heathen are still around watching.

▪ Let us continue reading

 HOSEA 2:
18
And in that day will I make a covenant
for them with the beasts of the field,
and with the fowls of heaven, and
[with] the creeping things of the
ground: and I will break the bow and
the sword and the battle out of the
earth, and will make them to lie down
safely.
19
And I will betroth thee unto me for
ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto
me in righteousness, and in
judgment, and in loving kindness,
and in mercies.
 Here is what the Jews are saying about these
prophecies

▪ Christian Zionism is a belief among some Christians that the return of the Jews to
the Holy Land and the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 were in
accordance with the Bible prophecy. The term began to be used in the mid-20th
century.

▪ The problem with the claim of these Jews is that since their gathering from 1948
to the present, they have never lived in peace as the Bible describe, and there is no
evidence of man and beast lying down together safely.
 Now hear Isaiah 11 again with the new
enlightment

▪ 5 And righteousness shall be girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
▪ 6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the
young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
▪ 7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and lion shall eat straw
like the ox.
▪ 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the
cockatrice’ den.
▪ 9 “They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the
LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”
▪ 10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall
the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
 EZEKIEL 36 continues to say

▪ 37 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet [for] this be inquired of by the house of Israel,
to do [it] for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.

▪ 38 As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the
waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the LORD.
▪ The above is clear evidence that when this restoration takes place probation is not
close because we see men being drawn to Christ’s Kingdom unlike after the 1000
years after the second resurrection.

▪ This is the clearest and most fascinated Bible doctrine with the most abundant
proof, yet no one is preaching about it and this is what is about to take place.
 Let us now observe what really comprise the
Holy Land that God gave to Abraham.

▪ Genesis 15:18
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I
given this lang, from the river of Egypt unto the great rive, the river Euphrates.

▪ The present state of Israel is just about 260 miles long and about 70 wide.
▪ But the real HOLY LAND consist of all the land between the river Euphrates and the
river Nile in Egypt. That means that Iran, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, part of Saudi
Arabia and part of Egypt comprise the HOLY LAND. Ancient Israel has never
occupied this amount of land.
▪ Remember: GOD CANNOT LIE
 “
Leviticus 23:19
God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of
man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he
not do [it]? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it
good?
 Christ’s disciples did not forget these messianic
prophecies that related to restoration of the HOLY LAND.
We today may but they did not. HERE IS THE PROOF:
▪ Acts 1:
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible
proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the
kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with [them], commanded them that they shoud
not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he],
ye have heard of me.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt
thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which
the Father hath put in his own power.
 “
❖The Disciples were focusing on the Scriptures that we have been quoting
so far. This is the reason why they were looking for a physical literal
KINGDOM ruled by King Jesus that would liberate them from the Roman
power.
❖Notice that Jesus did not rebuked nor corrected them for their thinking
and expectations, He simply said it was not for them to know the time. It
would have been disheartening for Jesus to tell them that they would have
to wait 2000 years for the fulfilment of that prophecy. That is the time it
would take for the gentiles to be engrafted into the true olive vine.
 Observe this warning given by Jesus
LUKE 21:

▪ 23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days!
for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
▪ 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into
all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times
of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
▪ 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the star; and upon
the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
▪ 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
 Observe this warning given by Jesus
ROMANS 11:

▪ 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye
should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

▪ 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the
Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

▪ 27 For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
 Observe this warning given by Jesus
LUKE 21:

▪ 23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days!
for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
▪ 24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into
all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times
of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

▪ Verses 23 and 24 are addressing the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.

▪ We are now living in the period of time when Jerusalem is being trodden down by
the Gentiles.
▪ The word “UNTIL” clearly suggests that control of Jerusalem by the Gentiles will
one day come to an end.

▪ Bare in mind that the present so called none Christian Jews occupying Palestine
are Gentiles in the sight of the Lord. Ironically these returning unbelieving Jews
have frequently falsely claim that they are fulfilling the aforementioned prophecies.
Sad to say they have never live in peace as the prophecy indicated.
 The Indications that the time of the Gentiles is
about to come to an end is shown in the
following verses:

▪ 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the star; and upon
the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

▪ 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and looking after those things which are
coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Current events are now trumpeting that the
time has finally arrived for God to fulfil His
2500 years promises and only a very few
people know about it.

▪ Conditional prophecies???
▪ When our theologians are confronted with these glaring Scriptures, they say these
prophecies will never be fulfilled because ancient Israelites were not faithful.

faithfulness of Israel of old.

▪ 9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause
them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not
stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim [is] my firstborn.

▪ 10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare [it] in the isles afar off, and

Jeremiah 31:10
Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare [it] in the
isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him,
and keep him, as a shepherd [doth] his flock
 God is speaking and who dare not take His word at heart?

Who dare be indifferent and keep silent?

In order for the nations to be able to say, “He that scattered Israel will gather him, and
keep him,” they must be nations that believe, nations that understand these prophecies
and promises. They are to do what we are doing.
But since there is no nation doing this at the present time, and since we are the only
ones that are engaged in this work, the truth becomes evident that our message is to
awaken nations to the fact that we, the last descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel, are
called forth to declare this Truth not only to all our brethren, but even to the nations.
Then the nations are to re-broadcast It to other nations, so declares the Scriptures.
They are to proclaim that God’s people are to be gathered, and kept, too.
We, therefore, must not fail in our trust. We must prove worthy of our calling.

It is the first and highest duty of every rational being to learn from the
Scriptures what is truth, and then to walk in the light and encourage others to
follow his example.
We should day by day study the Bible diligently, weighing every thought and

With divine help we are to form our opinions for ourselves as we are to
answer for ourselves before God.
{DD 38.8}
 “
The Truths most plainly revealed in the Bible have been involved in doubt and
darkness by learned men, who, with a pretense of great wisdom, teach that the
Scriptures have a mystical, a secret, spiritual meaning not apparent in the language
employed. These men are false teachers. It was to such a class that Jesus declared:
“Ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God.” Mark 12:24.
The language of the Bible should be explained according to its obvious meaning,
unless a symbol or figure is employed. Christ has given the promise:
“If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine.” John 7:17.

 Did you know that The Lord’s Prayer was addressing
this same concern?

Sister White address it this way:

“Thy Kingdom come.” Matthew 6:10.
God is our Father, who loves and cares for us as His children; He is also
the great King of the universe. The interests of His kingdom are our
interests, and we are to work for its upbuilding.
The disciples of Christ were looking for the immediate coming of the
kingdom of His glory, but in giving them this prayer Jesus taught that the
kingdom was not then to be established.
They were to pray for its coming as an event yet future. But this petition
was also an assurance to them. While they were not to behold the coming
of the kingdom in their day, the fact that Jesus bade them pray for it is
evidence that in God’s own time it will surely come. {MB 107.3}

and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of
Israel.
15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through
[thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.

Like the Day of Pentecost
“It is with an earnest longing that I look forward to the time when the events
of the Day of Pentecost shall be repeated with even greater power than on
that occasion.
John says, “I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great
power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.” [Revelation 18:1].
Then, as at the Pentecostal season, the people will hear the truth spoken to
them, every man in his own tongue.” 6BC 1055 (1886)
 “The work will be similar to that of the Day of Pentecost. As the
“former rain” was given, in the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at the
opening of the gospel, to cause the upspringing of the precious seed,
so the “latter rain” will be given at its close for the ripening of the
harvest.”
“Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going
forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the
rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.” Hosea 6:3.
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God:
for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause
to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain.”
Joel 2:23.
GC 611, 612
“In the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh.”
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of
the Lord shall be saved.”
Acts 2:17.

“The great work of the gospel is not to close with less

manifestation of the power of God than marked its
opening. The prophecies which were fulfilled in the
outpouring of the former rain at the opening of the gospel
are again to be fulfilled in the latter rain at its close.”
GC 611, 612
This concept was
introduced in the
2013 Sabbath
School Lesson, but
how few caught
the vision
“The challenge of preaching the gospel
in the context of the three angels’
messages to the entire world may
seem impossible.
Although the Seventh-day Adventist
Church is growing rapidly, it is not
keeping up with the population.
There are multiple areas of the world
where the name “Seventh-day
Adventist” (much less our message) is
not known.”

(2013 Sabbath School Lesson, 3rd Quarter pp.105,107).

 “The reality of this harsh fact leads to serious
questions.
Is it possible for the gospel to be preached to
the entire world in this generation?
Will there be some unusual breakthrough that
will dramatically speed up the proclamation
of the three angels’ messages?
There is always one thing to keep in mind
when we discuss this topic:
the mission is God’s, and He will accomplish it.
At the same time, however, we must remember
that we have been called to a crucial role in
that final work, as well.”

(2013 Sabbath School Lesson, 3rd Quarter pp.104-107).

 An illustration of God’s glory—KINGDOM OF
GLORY
Exodus 33:

17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing

also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace
in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.
19 I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I
will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and
will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will
show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
 The Quarterly continues to
say

“God will finish His work. He

will pour out His Spirit in
mighty power and
accomplish what seems
impossible according to all
human planning”
(2013 Sabbath School Lesson, 3rd Quarter pp.104-107).
“Just as the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the
day of Pentecost enabled the disciples to be a
formidable witness to their generation, the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit in latter-rain power
will empower God’s church to reach the world in
the final generation.
It will take nothing less than latter-rain power to
complete God’s mission on earth, and God offers
nothing les. Heaven’s most precious gift is
offered in infinite supply in order to accomplish
the most urgent and important task ever
entrusted to His church.”

(2013 Sabbath School Lesson, 3rd Quarter, pp105,107)

God’s Glory Manifested through Moses
Exodus 33:

17 And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing

also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace
in my sight, and I know thee by name.
18 And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory.
19 I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I
will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and
will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will
show mercy on whom I will show mercy.
God’s Glory Manifested through Moses
Exodus 33:

20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there

shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD said, Behole, [there is] a place by me,
and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth
by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will
cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mind hand, and thou shalt see
my back parts: but my face shall not be seen
 God’s Glory Manifested through Moses
Exodus 34:

29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from

mount Sinai with the tables of testimony in Moses’ hand,
when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not
that the skin of his face shone while he talked with
him.
30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw
Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they
were afraid to come nigh him.
 “The people perceive that it is the voice of Moses;
that, although he is transformed and glorified, he is Moses
yet. They tell him that they cannot look into his face, for the
radiant light in his countenance is exceedingly painful to
them. His face is like the sun; they cannot look upon it.
When Moses finds out the difficulty, he covers his
face with a veil. He does not plead that the light and glory
upon his face is the reflection of God’s glory that He placed
upon him, and that the people must bear it; but he covers his
glory.
The sinfulness of the people make it painful to
behold his glorified face. So will it be when the saints of God
are glorified just previous to the second appearing of our
Lord. The wicked will retire and shrink away from the sight,
for the glory in the countenances of the saints will pain them.
Testimonies for the Church, vol.3 p.354
 Isaiah 49:

1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from

far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the
bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
2 And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath
he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;
3 And said unto me, Thou [art] my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
5 And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb [to be] his servant, to
bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in
the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.
6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the
tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a
light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
 ISAIAH 66:

15 “the LORD will come with fire…”

16 For by fire and by his sword will
the LORD plead with all flesh: and
the slain of the LORD shall be many.
17 They that sanctify themselves,
and purify themselves in the gardens
behind one [tree] in the midst, eating
swine’s flesh, and the abomination,
and the mouse, shall be consumed
together, saith the LORD.
 “
Please observe that after this coming of the LORD there was a
mighty evangelistic operation. So this is not the Second
coming of Christ in the cloud of heavens, but an invisible
coming to plead with, and purify His church.

This is the same as MALACHI 3.

 Malachi 3:

1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the

way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall
suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the
covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the
LORD of hosts.
2 But who may abide the day of his coming? And who
shall stand when he appeareth? For he [is] like a refiner’s
fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And he shall sit [as] a refiner and purifier of silver: and he
shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver,
that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

.
 Isaiah 66:
18 For I [know] their works and their thoughts: it shall come,
that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall
come, and see my glory.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I send those that
escape of them unto the nations, [to] Tarshish, Pul, and Lud,
that draw the bow, [to] Tubal, and Javan [to] the isles afar
off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my
glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering
unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in
chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift
beats, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD,
as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel
into the house of LORD.

John 10:16
“And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice;
and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.”
