Comment on Our Sovereign God - Pastor Dennis Smith

Dear Pastor Smith,
I listened with great interest, and was inspired by your OT recounting of how God, the Reigning Sovereign of the universe guided, yet protected His ancient people of the Covenant. Your passion for an ever unfolding truth is truly great to listen to.

I noticed that when you mentioned that when the men of the nation were required, if they wanted to be counted among those who had accepted God's only Covenant, to travel to Jerusalem "three times in the year," to appear before God to worship and Praise Him, God caused men of other nations to not want to attack Israel.

I just wanted to add that all of the above was true. That is until Jesus began His ministry and centered His work at Capernaum. There He kept the annual feasts of which He, when as God the Son, said "These are My feasts."

Mrs. White, whose writings have rekindled my interest in what I hope, someday, becomes the final, full-circle Seventh-day Adventism that she invisioned in Prophets and Kings, wrote of these same feast days to which you refered in this powerful sermon.
P and K, pages, 100, 101, and 678.

I also, though far from sinless, love t meet with Yeshua ha-Maschiach (Jesus, the Messiah)not only during the Sabbath's sacred hours, but during the annual holy days as outlined by Jesus, Who as you say, is indeed God.

The much misunderstood text, Colossians 2, 13-17, gives vindication of Jesus' command in Matthew, chapter 23. The Master says, "They sit in Moses' seat in the Synagogues and teach. Listen to them, but do not do as they do. For, they say but do not do. But, listen to them and DO what they say."

Jesus did not give these instructions to His followers only to have them gone at the cross. Mrs. White makes clear that the Everlasting Covenant (Exodus 34, vss. 10 and onward) was the "new Covenant" tha was ratified by Jesus' own innocent blood.

Paul, in Colossians 2, was speaking with the former pagans, called Goyim, not former Jews as many think. Paul said of them that they were "uncircumcised in (their) flesh."
It was not God's Law which Christ nailed to His cross. It was the "chierographonus dogmassen," Satan's well-kept, accurate list of our sins that Jesus erased if we accept His Covenant, and the Holy Spirit into our hearts of flesh, which list was nailed to the cross.

Meat nor drink, nor of a New Moon celebation, a Feast Day or the Sabbaton (Greek for seventh day Sabbath) are all listed as "shadows of good things to come." Not, as they Origen-doctored, Hellenized "New Testament" used by sacradotal denominations, which tell us that these "are shadows of things that were to come." Meaning that they had all passed away at the cross, allowing Church fathers to make whatever changes they wished.

My favorite feast days are Shavuot, Feast of Trumpets (the loud cry), Day of Atonement (to be fulfilled in the New Jerusalem) and Sukkot (Tabernacles, when we live forever with the Lord God)

Ye verechecha Adonai. God bless you.

Timely sermon. It is interesting for me that we often hear God speaking as a child through the behavior of others, dreams, and instinct. However, as we grow old and cynical we cannot even imagine he is speaking to us. Thank you for this sermon I hope to visit soon to hear such powerful messages in person

As I listen to these studies these verses,come to mind
Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned. Isa 40:1, 2.
What a blessed thought Christ has accomplished our warfare now we need only accept it and go on in victory!!

Appreciate your message and your ministry! I appreciate the comparison of Noah's preaching righteousness by faith for 120 years, and our church preaching righteousness by faith since 1888. (As in the days of Noah!) Had not drawn that comparison. Yes, Jesus IS coming soon! I definitely got the feeling from your sermon, that we must "do what ever we are going to do", and do it quickly!! Hearts are either being hardened or softened.(being sealed) The Holy Spirit is gradually being withdrawn from the earth, (in nature and mankind). (Although given in greater power to those that seek Him) Soon it will be to late to evangelize. The opportunities will not be there as they are today. Thanks for the message! chuck
