Letter in answer to All: Regarding Denomination
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
You ask what denomination. Which that means the name of our organization. We simply are the children of the promise… the ones who are from the 12 tribes. And we are called Yasharon. The flock of Yah and Yasha. The little flock. (Ellen White writes to the Little Flock and her book Prophets and Kings was originally called The Captivity and Restoration of Israel) The name Yasharon is the original name of Israel there are three places where it is mentioned Jeshurun in the KJV. (for more info go here https://timesandlaws.wordpress.com/new-name-of-israel-is-yasharon/ )
Isaiah 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Yah Yil shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
We came from the SDA church as do all the 144,000. (“Especially in the closing work for the church, in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are to stand without fault before the throne of God, will they feel most deeply the wrongs of God’s professed people. This is forcibly set forth by the prophet’s illustration of the last work under the figure of the men each having a slaughter weapon in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. “And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” Ezekiel 9:4.{1TT 335.2}.)
Job 14:7 “For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.”
Mark 13: 28 “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:”
The Denomination of SDA will be cut down. And a tender branch grows and will not cease.
“Of those who boast of their light and yet fail to walk in it Christ says, ‘But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment than for you. And thou, Capernaum [Seventh-day Adventists, who have had great light], which art exalted unto heaven [in point of privilege], shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.’”—The Review and Herald, August 1, 1893. [The bracketed comments are by Ellen White.]{LDE 48.2}
“The church is in the Laodicean state. The presence of God is not in her midst.”—A New Life [Revival and Beyond]1:99 (1898).{LDE 49.1}
“Many will stand in our pulpits with the torch of false prophecy in their hands, kindled from the hellish torch of Satan…. “{LDE 179.3}
“It was a sin in the ancient economy to offer a sacrifice upon the wrong altar, or to allow incense to be kindled from a strange fire. We are in danger of commingling the sacred and the common. The holy fire from God is to be used with our offerings. The true altar is Christ, and the true fire is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is to inspire, to teach, to lead, and to guide men, and make them safe counselors. If we turn aside from God’s chosen ones, we are in danger of inquiring from strange gods, and of offering upon a strange altar…”{2MR 45.3}
The truth does not stop. It is a flowing river. I am sharing what is present truth. We at timesandlaws.wordpress.com are following the Scripture and the prophets. Everything we are putting in these studies are from scripture and the spirit of prophecy.
“To the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Is. 8:20 We believe and proclaim all the law and the prophets of old to present day.
The Message, Not the Messenger—
“When a new view is presented, the question is often asked, “Who are its advocates? What is the position of influence of the one who would teach us who have been students of the Bible for many years?” God will send His words of warning by whom He will send. And the question to be settled is not what person is it who brings the message; this does not in any way affect the word spoken. “By their fruits ye shall know them.”{16MR 105.3}
“Truth is often preached by one who has not experienced its power; but it is truth nevertheless, and is blessed to those who, drawn by the Spirit of God, accept it. But when the truth is presented by one who is himself sanctified through it, it has a freshness, a force, that gives it a convincing power to the hearer. The truth, in its power upon the heart, is precious, and the truth addressed to the understanding is clear. Both are needful—the word and the inward testimony of the Spirit.{16MR 106.1}
In regard to the testimony that has come to us through the Lord’s messengers, we can say, We know in whom we have believed. We know that Christ is our righteousness, not alone because He is so described in the Bible, but because we have felt His transforming power in our own hearts.{16MR 106.2}
Now, although there has been a determined effort to make of no effect the message God has sent, its fruits have been proving that it was from the source of light and truth. Those who have cherished unbelief and prejudice, who in the place of helping to do the work the Lord would have them do, have stood to bar the way against all evidence, cannot be supposed to have clearer spiritual eyesight for having so long closed their eyes to the very light God sent to the people.”{16MR 106.3}
“If we are to bear a part in this work to its close, we must recognize the fact that there are good things to come to the people of God in a way that we had not discerned; and that there will be resistance from the very ones we expected to engage in such a work. A man that is sincere in the wrong is not justified in the wrong, because he has opened his heart to a class of evidence leading him to condemn the right, and has closed his heart to a class of evidence which, if he would not cherish prejudice, would lead him to see and acknowledge what is truth.”{16MR 106.4}
“The Reformation did not, as many suppose, end with Luther. It is to be continued to the close of this world’s history. Luther had a great work to do in reflecting to other the light which God had permitted to shine upon him; yet he did not receive all the light which was to be given to the world. From that time to this, new light has been continually shining upon the Scriptures, and new truths have been constantly unfolding. “ GC 149
“Light must come to the people through agents whom Yah shall choose, who will give the note of warning, that none may be in ignorance of the purposes of Yah or the devices of Satan. At the great heart of the work, Satan will use his hellish arts to the utmost . He will seek in every possible way to interpose himself between the people and Yah, and shut away the light that Yah would have come to His children. It is his design to keep them in ignorance of what shall come upon the earth…
The people must not be left to stumble their way along in darkness, not knowing what is before them and unprepared for the great issues that are coming. There is a work to be done for this time in fitting a people to stand in the day of trouble, and all must act their part in this work. They must be clothed with the righteousness of Messiah, and be so fortified by the truth that the delusions of Satan shall not be accepted by them as genuine manifestations of the power of Yah…
It is a solemn time for Yah’s people, but if they stand close by the bleeding side of Jesus, He will be their defense. He will open ways that the message of light may come to the great men, to authors and lawmakers. They will have opportunities of which you do not now dream and some of them will boldly advocate the claims of Yah’s downtrodden law… ” Manuscript 18, 1888
“As said about Luther and adherents :
In conclusion he endeavored to cast contempt upon the adherents of the reformed faith: “What are all these Lutherans? A crew of insolent pedagogues, corrupt priests, dissolute monks, ignorant lawyers, and degraded nobles, with the common people whom they have misled and perverted. How far superior to them is the Catholic party in number, ability, and power! A unanimous decree from this illustrious assembly will enlighten the simple, warn the imprudent, decide the waverers, and give strength to the weak.”—D’Aubigne, b. 7, ch. 3. {GC 148.2}
“With such weapons the advocates of truth in every age have been attacked. The same arguments are still urged against all who dare to present, in opposition to established errors, the plain and direct teachings of Yah’s word. “Who are these preachers of new doctrines?” exclaim those who desire a popular religion. “They are unlearned, few in numbers, and of the poorer class. Yet they claim to have the truth, and to be the chosen people of Yah. They are ignorant and deceived. How greatly superior in numbers and influence is our church! How many great and learned men are among us! How much more power is on our side!” These are the arguments that have a telling influence upon the world; but they are no more conclusive now than in the days of the Reformer. “{GC 148.3}
“When asked to hear the reasons of a doctrine that you do not understand, do not condemn the message until you have given it a thorough investigation, and know from the word of Yah that it is not tenable. If I had an opportunity, I would speak to the students of every Sabbath school in the land, lifting up my voice in earnest appeal that they go to the word of Yah, seeking for truth and light. Yah has precious light to come to His people at this very time, and you should strive earnestly in your investigations to aim at nothing less than a thorough knowledge of every point of truth, that you may not be found in the day of Yah among those who have not lived by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Yah.” {CSW 31.2}
“The momentous issues at stake through neglect of the word of Yah should be carefully considered. The study of the Bible is worthy of the best mental effort, the most sanctified ability. When new light is presented to the church, it is perilous to shut yourselves away from it. Refusing to hear because you are prejudiced against the message to the messenger will not make your case excusable before Yah. To condemn that which you have not heard and do not understand will not exalt your wisdom in the eyes of those who are candid in their investigations of truth. And to speak with contempt of those whom Yil has sent with a message of truth, is folly and madness. If our youth are seeking to educate themselves to be workers in His cause, they should learn the way of the Lord, and live by every word that proceedeth out of His mouth. They are not to make up their minds that the whole truth has been unfolded, and that the Infinite One has no more light for His people. If they entrench themselves in the belief that the whole truth has been revealed, they will be in danger of discarding precious jewels of truth that shall be discovered as men turn their attention to the searching of the rich mine of Yah’s word.” {CSW 32.1}
“Present the Message for This Time—Let all have more to teach, to write, and to publish in regard to those things that are now to be fulfilled, and that concern the eternal welfare of souls. Give meat in due season to the old and the young, to saints and to sinners. Let everything that can be said to awaken the church from its slumbers be brought forward without delay. Let no time be lost in dwelling on those things that are not essential, and that have no bearing upon the present necessities of the people…”{CW 13.4}
Dearest Family: I hope you will ask the Spirit of Yah to guide you into all truth. And that you will find that we are wanting to share meat in due season with you. Study any scriptures we share on TimesandLaws.wordpress.com and any quotes for yourselves with the Holy Spirit. We visit and do Bible Studies for we know there is a remnant that comes from the SDA church. The Sheep hear his voice.
Many Blessings,
Yasharon : His sheep.
