This document provides a summary of the story of Franz Hasel, a Seventh-day Adventist soldier in the German army during World War 2. It describes how Hasel was able to keep the Sabbath and follow his religious principles, such as not eating pork or bearing arms, throughout the war. Despite serving on the front lines, Hasel survived numerous dangerous situations without injury, which he attributed to God's protection. The story highlights Hasel's strong faith and willingness to obey God even under immense pressure to compromise his beliefs.
Thales de Mileto fue un sabio griego del siglo VI a.C. conocido por desarrollar el teorema de Thales, el cual establece que si una línea paralela corta dos transversales en un ángulo, los segmentos formados son proporcionales. Thales utilizó este principio para medir la altura de una pirámide sin subir a su cima. El teorema de Thales tiene aplicaciones en la resolución de problemas geométricos que involucran triángulos semejantes.

This document is a sermon about remembering the Sabbath given at Frontline Community Church on July 10, 2011. It discusses the Old Testament commandment to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. It also covers Jesus' view of the Sabbath, noting that he did not abolish it but saw it as a day of blessing, not burden, and for mercy and good works. The early church moved the day of worship from Saturday to Sunday to celebrate Christ's resurrection. The application encourages accepting the gift of one day of rest per week to focus on God.
God rested on the seventh day after creating the world. He blessed and declared the seventh day to be holy. The Sabbath is meant to be a day of worship and rest to serve and adore God. Honoring the Sabbath draws us closer to God by intentionally opening ourselves to Him. It is an opportunity for extended abiding with God. The document discusses how to properly observe the Sabbath and keep it holy.
The Sabbath was set apart as holy by God after he completed creation in six days and rested on the seventh. It is meant to be kept holy in remembrance of God as the Creator and is a sign of God's power to sanctify his people. The Sabbath should be observed by refraining from work and instead spending time focusing on God through words, deeds and thoughts in line with his character.
The Sabbath originated in Creation when God rested on the seventh day after completing His work. In the Law, the Sabbath was established as a day of rest where no work was to be done. However, the Israelites often failed to comply with keeping the Sabbath as commanded. The Sabbath was meant as a day to honor God and rest from one's own works, as God rested from His on the seventh day of Creation.
This document discusses the importance of rest, reflection, and renewal through rhythms like the Sabbath, vacations, retreats, and sabbaticals. It describes Jesus often withdrawing to lonely places to pray and references several accounts from the Gospels. Key locations where Jesus retreated are mentioned, including Caesarea Philippi, where Peter acknowledges Jesus as the Messiah. The document concludes with lessons about the value of community retreats for reflection and Jesus' leadership role in the community through invitation and challenge.

The document discusses the concept of having a "Sabbath heart" which is an attitude of restfulness and attentiveness to God's presence even during busy and turbulent times. It contrasts this with a state of constant "busyness" which can kill our hearts and lead us to place false trust in our own works. The Sabbath is presented from two perspectives - as reflecting God's completion of creation and rest on the seventh day, and as a reminder of God freeing the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. True Sabbath keeping and delight comes from ceasing self-effort and trusting in God as creator and deliverer.
The document discusses the themes of Creation, Redemption, and Sanctification as revealed in the Sabbath. It explains that the Sabbath points to God as our Creator and Redeemer from slavery in Egypt. It also notes that the Sabbath represents our sanctification process of growing in holiness. Worship on the Sabbath should celebrate God's creation of the world, salvation of humanity from sin, and sanctifying work within believers.
This document summarizes a lesson about Jesus' relationship to the Sabbath. It discusses how Jesus emphasized his authority as Lord of the Sabbath when religious leaders criticized his Sabbath observance. It also examines how Jesus showed the correct observance of the Sabbath and healed people on the Sabbath to relieve human suffering. The document concludes by noting how Jesus and his disciples observed and taught about the seventh-day Sabbath after his resurrection based on scriptural examples.
The document discusses the concept of Sabbath rest and our future eternal rest. It argues that the fear of death causes people to live in "lifelong slavery" focused only on themselves. However, through Christ's victory over death, believers can have hope and look forward to an eternal Sabbath rest in God's presence. The document explores how the weekly and yearly Sabbaths in the Old Testament point to this future rest, and how entering that rest requires faith in Christ's finished work rather than our own efforts.
The document is a lesson about Jesus and the Sabbath. It discusses how Jesus upheld the Sabbath commandment during his life and ministry by performing healings on the Sabbath. His healings showed that the Sabbath is meant for acts of mercy and restoration. It also notes that after Jesus died and said "It is finished," he rested in the tomb on the Sabbath, just as God rested after creation, showing the continued validity of the Sabbath. The lesson argues that Jesus did not intend to abolish the seventh-day Sabbath as some claim, but rather reinforced its importance.
The document discusses the biblical feasts of the Lord, including the weekly Sabbath and annual feasts such as Passover and Pentecost. It explains that God gave Moses the dates and names of the feasts and that they are prophetic, pointing to future events. The Sabbath occurs every seventh day while the annual feasts follow a lunar calendar. Jesus observed the Sabbath but taught that acts of mercy and healing were permitted.
Dave Barker shares a message on the Sabbath and its true meaning. The Sabbath was always intended as a shadow, and now that the real has come in Jesus, the shadow is no longer required.
Jesus invites all who labor and are heavy laden to find rest in him. The passage contrasts Jesus' understanding of the Sabbath as a day of rest and spiritual renewal, versus the Pharisees' view which imposed burdensome man-made rules. When the Pharisees criticize Jesus' disciples for plucking grain on the Sabbath, Jesus defends them by citing precedents where others like David and the priests worked on the Sabbath out of spiritual duty or necessity. He goes on to heal a man's withered hand on the Sabbath, showing the Pharisees valued rules over compassion. The document encourages keeping the Sabbath as God intended - as a delight spent

Este documento discute el significado de la palabra "día" en los relatos bíblicos de la creación en Génesis 1. Analiza las opiniones de eruditos bíblicos, lexicógrafos y diccionarios sobre si la palabra debe interpretarse literalmente como un día de 24 horas o de manera figurada. Concluye que basándose en el uso del término en hebreo, su gramática y sintaxis, sólo se puede entender como un día literal de 24 horas en Génesis 1.
The document discusses the origins of morality from several perspectives. It explores how religion, culture, memes, and social influences shape perceptions of morality. While religion strongly impacts moral views, the document argues that morality predates religion and that evolution explains humans' innate sense of altruism and conscience, as seen in other social animal species like chimpanzees. It notes that some fear learning about evolution may undermine morality, though others see an opportunity to find purpose and meaning within our finite existence.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
These slides are an overview of the process we present at our two-day Internet Intelligence Workshop and three-day Open Source Intelligence Gathering workshop.
Oskar Schindler was a German businessman from Czechoslovakia who saved over 1,000 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories. He was initially an opportunist who was not very politically motivated, but he had connections that allowed him to get arrested Nazis off the hook multiple times. After witnessing Nazi atrocities, he had a change of heart and went to great lengths to protect the Jews working for him, providing them with extra food, medicine, and allowing religious observance. After the war he struggled financially and lived in obscurity, but was celebrated by the Jews he saved and buried in Israel.
A man walked into a house and was about to hang up his coat when he heard his wife say "No John! Don't do it!" followed by a gunshot. The wife was found dead by the police officer, doctor, and lawyer standing next to her body. The husband knew the police officer was the one who killed the wife, but how did he know without witnessing the shooting?
Here are potential responses to these QHQs:
1. When people are subjected to immense suffering and stripped of their humanity, as the Jews were in the concentration camps, it can lead them to act in inhumane ways themselves in order to survive or gain some small advantage. The camps destroyed normal human compassion and morality.
2. The camp veterans had become hardened and desensitized to suffering after enduring so much themselves. Taunting the new prisoners may have been a way for them to feel a sense of power and control in that powerless situation. It also could have been a defense mechanism to avoid feeling empathy or forming attachments to others.
3. Genocide on such a massive scale is only possible due to a perfect

1. The Holocaust began in 1936 in Germany and lasted until 1945. Adolf Hitler rose to power as the leader of Germany's Nazi party in 1933 and instituted racist laws targeting Jews.
2. The Nazi regime created ghettos and concentration camps, where they imprisoned and starved Jewish people. They also conducted medical experiments on prisoners.
3. Over six million Jewish people were murdered in the Holocaust through mass executions, starvation, and gas chambers at concentration camps like Auschwitz. Allied forces liberated camps in 1945 and discovered the horrific atrocities.
Elie Wiesel's memoir Night recounts his experiences during the Holocaust as a teenage boy. He describes being sent to the Nazi concentration camps of Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944 with his father. By the end of the war in 1945, Wiesel had lost his mother and sister in Auschwitz, and his father died shortly before Buchenwald was liberated. Wiesel wrote Night to bear witness and ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust would never be forgotten.
Reverend William Hechler was an Anglican minister in Vienna in the late 19th century who was influential in legitimizing Theodor Herzl and the Zionist movement. Hechler was a proponent of Restorationism, the belief that the Second Coming would only occur after Jews returned to Palestine. Hechler was impressed by Herzl's book advocating for a Jewish state and helped introduce Herzl to influential figures, including the German Kaiser. Meeting with the Kaiser publicly legitimized Herzl and Zionism in the eyes of world Jewry and the international press. Though Herzl's proposals were ultimately rejected by the Kaiser privately, the appearance of support provided critical legitimacy for the Zionist cause in its early days.
The film tells the fictional story of two plots to assassinate the Nazi Germany political leadership. One plot is planned by a young French Jewish cinema proprietor seeking revenge, and the other by a team of Jewish Allied soldiers led by First Lieutenant Aldo Raine. The movie follows these plots over 5 chapters, showing the horrors of the Holocaust from both the perspectives of the victims and allies seeking vengeance against the Nazi regime for their crimes against humanity.

Armed resistance-to-the-holocaust by David B. Kopelcjhs
Contrary to myth of Jewish passivity, many Jews did fight back during the Holocaust. They shut down the extermination camp at Sobibor, rose up in the Warsaw Ghetto, and fought in the woods and swamps all over Eastern Europe. Indeed, Jews resisted at a higher rate than did any other population under Nazi rule. The experience of the Holocaust shows why Jews, and all people of good will, should support the right of potential genocide victims to possess defensive arms, and refutes the notion that violence is necessarily immoral.
David B. Kopel is Research Director of the Independence Institute, in Golden, Colorado, and a member of the International Association of Genocide Scholars.

This document summarizes Richard Plant's book "The Pink Triangle: The Nazi War Against Homosexuals." Some key points:
- Plant details the horrific treatment of homosexuals under Nazi Germany, including the rise of anti-homosexual policies and propaganda.
- He discusses Nazi policies like Paragraph 175 which criminalized homosexuality and led to the arrests and convictions of over 63,000 men.
- Plant explores how homosexuals were treated in concentration camps, forced to wear pink triangles and subjected to abuse, medical experiments, and death.
- Through translated documents, letters, and survivor interviews, Plant provides first-hand accounts of the discrimination and suffering homosexuals faced.
- The book brought attention
This document provides an overview of Jewish participation and experiences in World War I. It discusses where Jews served with the Central Powers like Austria-Hungary and Germany as well as with the Allies. It describes the formation of the Jewish Legion to allow Jews to fight for Israel's liberation. It details American Jewish support efforts through organizations like the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. It also honors Jewish soldiers who fought and received honors for their valor like military crosses and medals of honor.
The document discusses the Holocaust over the course of the 1940s:
- In the early 1940s, Nazis began deporting German Jews to Poland and forcing them into ghettos, later beginning mass murders of Jews in Poland. Death camps were also established across occupied Europe.
- By 1942, over 20% of Jews who would ultimately die in the Holocaust had already been murdered. The "Final Solution" to exterminate all European Jews was implemented.
- By 1943, 80-85% of Holocaust victims had been killed, as deportations from ghettos to death camps continued. Resistance like the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was crushed.
- Mass killings continued through 1944-

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

1.
2. Franz Hasel:
A
Thousand
Shall
Fall
Alvin L. Reyes MD
3. Theme: Psalm 91 5-7
• Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by
night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
• For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,
Nor for the destruction that wasteth at
noonday.
• A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten
thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not
come nigh thee.
4. This is an incredible story
• About how to work up faith in God.
• About faith in action, a Sabbath-
keeping family who dared to keep
their faith in the chaos of Hitler’s Nazi
Germany.
• About the miraculous acts of the
Almighty on behalf of His faithful
people.
5. World War 2
• Forty-year-old Franz Hasel, a Seventh-
day Adventist literature evangelist, was
drafted into the German Pioneer
Company 699.
• This company built bridges at the front
lines.
6. Before leaving for the war..
• Franz had read in family worship, “Thou
shalt not be afraid for the terror by
night; nor for the arrow that flieth by
day . . . a thousand shall fall at thy
side, and ten thousand at thy right
hand; but it shall not come nigh thee . .
. For He shall give His angels charge
over thee, to keep thee in all thy
ways,” Psalm 91:5-11.
8. Franz’s prayer before he left.
• "Please be with us, Father. . . . Help me
to be true to my faith, even in the
army. Help me so that I will not have to
kill anyone."
9. At the recruitment center
• Hasel announced that he was a
Sabbath-keeping Christian, and a
conscientious objector.
• He would be dubbed “carrot eater”
and “Bible reader”.
10. Reporting for duty
• He stated, “I am a Seventh-day
Adventist. I worship God on Saturday
as the Bible teaches us to do. I would
like to be excused from reporting for
duty on my Sabbath day. Also, I do not
eat pork or anything else that comes
from pigs. I respectfully request
permission to receive a substitute
whenever pork products are served.”
11. The Nazi Lieutenant turned beet
red…
• “You must be mad, private! This is the
German army! This battalion’s going to
war, and you want Saturday off?”
• Under his breath he spat out, “It’s just
my luck to be saddled with a religious
nut!”
13. Recommitment
• Franz had a pre-sentiment that unlike
the earlier, easier conquests of the
west, this battle would be long and
bloody.
• He recommitted his life to God, and
felt reassured that he was in God’s
care.
14. Sept 1,1939
• The Germans crossed the border into
Poland. Warsaw surrendered
September 29.
15. In Poland- a wooden gun?
• Franz had a carpenter carve a
wooden bracket which he later
whittled into a revolver. He used shoe
polish to blacken it.
• At great risk to his life (where he was
almost caught) he threw his real gun in
a lake.
• He also had a standard issue holster
made.
17. Franz was an expert marksman.
• But he threw the gun away and could
be tempted to kill someone in self
defense.
• If this had been discovered by his
superiors, he would have been
executed.
18. Why throw away the gun?
• To show God that he is serious about
not wanting to kill any human, he
disposes of his revolver, putting his life
totally into God’s hands.
19. • Franz remembered Ludwig Klein,
another private who exchanged 50
pounds of butter for his gun.
• To give a weapon to the enemy was
treason and punishable with death. He
was executed that same evening
24. Back @ the home front…
• Franz’s wife Helene Hasel and their 3
children had harrowing episodes.
• She kept her children from taking
Saturday examinations, and stoutly
resisted immense pressure to join the
Nazi Party.
26. Joining Vs. Not Joining
• Joining would mean extra ration cards,
vacations, and many privileges.
• Not joining would result in difficulty
obtaining food, harassment, and
possibly arrest. The trials the family
faced were incredible.
27. But Helene Hasel stood firm.
• Seventh-day Adventist Church
officials advised caving in to the Nazis,
but Helene Hasel stoutly refused to do
so. They had to move to the country to
escape arrest. Difficulties ensued
there as well.
29. Adventists die in a bombing raid…
• "The Bible is all lies! God doesn’t
protect us. He doesn’t care what
happens to us. We might as well not
pray any more."
• These words spill from 7 year-old
Gerhard Hasel, who believed that God
will protect believers from harm.
30. His mother, Helene, replies..
• "Pain and tragedy can come to
anybody, good and bad alike. The
important thing is to believe that God
loves us no matter what happens. As
long as we are His children, it doesn’t
matter if we live or die because in the
end, we will live with Him in heaven."
31. On Fridays it rained ?
• As his Pioneer Corps advanced East, it
was amazing how sometimes torrential
rains came on Friday, forcing the unit
to rest on the Sabbath lest they get
bogged down in Polish mud.
32. • By accident, he discovered a group
of Jews being executed by the SS.
He tried to help save lives, but was
rebuffed.
33. As incredible as it sounds…
• Franz Hasel, with God’s help, kept the
Sabbath for almost the entire war, and
“coincidences” helped him avoid pork
as well.
• One time, he disobeyed orders and
refused to work on the Sabbath. His
officer promised a court martial after
the war.
34. War Medal
• He earns the Maltese Cross because
of his "good moral influence on the
men in the entire company."
• Franz is promoted and received new
benefits, such as being relieved of all
outdoor work.
35. June 22, 1941
• At 3 o’clock am Hitler launched the
invasion of Russia. The Russians were
surprised by the attack.
36. • On June 30 the awaited order arrived:
The Pioneers were to enter Russia the
following day.
37. • Pioneer Company 699 moved into
Russia as far as the Caucasus. They felt
they had arrived in Eden with
grapevines and pomegranates heavy
with fruit.
39. • The people were friendly, welcoming
the Germans as liberators from
Communist rule. For the time being the
Pioneers were stationed near Mount
Elbrus, at 18,510 feet the highest
mountain in Europe.
41. Back to war…
• His sergeant notices that he is the man
in their company who does not get
even a scratch or a bruise. The bullets
always seem to miss Franz.
42. Guardian Angel ?
• His sergeant declares, "From now on,
you and I will share the same quarters!
You are going to be my guardian
angel!"
46. • Part of his job was to go into the next
town and obtain food for the unit. He
would warn all Jews to run for their
lives before the German army got
there.
• Discovery of his heroic deeds would
mean instant execution.
47. • Although suspected of being a
disguised Jew, Franz somehow always
is able to follow his principles.
48. Daniel 2
• At one time he explained the Daniel
2 prophecy to Captain Miekus,
Sergeant Erich and his nemesis
Lieutenant Gutschalk.
49. When he reached the toes…
• “Herr Captain,” he said, “the only
conclusion a Bible student can
come to is that the Fuehrer cannot
win this war. It will not be possible for
him to unite Europe and establish his
thousand-year Third Reich.”
50. • He looked earnestly into the Captain's
face. “Sir, the Bible’s predictions have
been proved accurate again and
again. And if they’re accurate here, it
means that we’re fighting a losing
battle.”
51. A week later the captain said…
• “Hasel, from now on we will no longer
operate a third of our motorized
vehicles. The gasoline we will save so
that when the end comes we will have
enough fuel to get back home.”
55. At the face of defeat…
• As the war wound down
to an ignominious
German defeat, Franz’s
unit retreated from the
Caucasus back to
Germany, in a mad dash
to surrender to the
Americans rather than
the Russians.
56. By a mere 30 minutes…
• Pioneer Company 699 retreated and
entered Germany minutes ahead of
the Russians.
• At 10:30 a.m. Franz crossed the bridge
over the river Enns, just before the
border closed. They had just made it
into American territory.
59. At the other side..
• American told them to “Stop!” and
gestured to one pile . “Weapons here.
Ammunition there.”
• Franz unbuttoned his holster and
tossed his wooden “revolver” on the
heap.
• His friend Willi’s eyes started from their
sockets. “Franz,” he asked, “What on
earth is that thing?”
60. My angel has a wooden gun?
• “That’s my gun,” said Franz, eyes
twinkling. “I had it made in Poland and
got rid of my real one there.”
• “Are you crazy?” asked Willi.
• Sergeant Erich stared even harder at
Franz. This was the man he’d chosen to
be his guardian angel during the entire
war!
61. The American colonel
interrogated Hasel…
• “I see in your service record a notation
that you are to be court-martialed
after the war.”
• “Yes, sir,” said Franz.
• “What did you do to earn this?”
62. Franz’s answer
• “I refused an order for religious
reasons. I am a Seventh-day
Adventist, and I keep the Sabbath
holy. Once, on my day of rest, there
was an attack, and I refused to do
duty because it was the Sabbath.”
63. • “You can’t be serious. All through the
war you kept the Sabbath in the Nazi
army, and you survived?”
• “Yes, sir. God protected me, even in
the German army.”
64. • “That’s amazing,” said the colonel.
“I’m a Jew myself, by the way. Even in
the American army I don’t keep the
Sabbath because it’s too difficult.”
• “Colonel,” Franz said boldly, “I
recommend that you keep the
Sabbath.”
65. To one of his officers…
• "Because of my Christian beliefs, you
have wanted to do away with me all
during the war. Now those same
Christian beliefs are going to be your
salvation because I am not going to
turn you in for war crimes."
66. • Franz Hasel was released by the
American forces only ten days after he
surrendered. His youngest son Gerd
was the first to meet him along the
road some distance from the village.
67. • Soon Helene was in his arms. There
would be difficult days of famine and
hardship ahead. Yet the war was
over, and they were safe.
68. Family reunion
• The family knelt together while Franz
prayed. “Lord, all through the war You
protected us and, in the end, brought
us back together safely. Thank you.
Thank you!”
69. A Mighty Fortress
• The family rose, formed a circle, and
once again sang their favorite hymn:
– “A mighty fortress is our God . . . “We will
not fear, for God hath willed His truth to
triumph through us . . . “The body they
may kill; God’s truth abideth still, His
Kingdom is forever.”
70. • At the end of the war, when they return
to their city of Frankfurt, the Hasels
discover that their home is still standing
amidst the destruction.
72. 1,200 minus 7= 1,193
• All but seven of his 1,200-man unit died
in the war. Three of whom were not
wounded;
• Franz Hasel, the man with the wooden
pistol is one of these three.
74. Susi Hasel
• Susi Hasel was born in 1943 to Franz
and Helene Hasel. She is married
and currently is the Registrar of
Pacific Union College, Angwin,
California. (email: smundy@puc.edu)
75. Gerhard F. Hasel
• Gerhard became Professor of Old
Testament and Biblical Theology at
Andrews University.
77. 1. Be true to your faith.
• The truth will always be true- no matter
who twists it. It cannot be hid. It will
always come out.
• Stand on the truth.
78. Loyalty unto death!
• Practice loyalty to self, family, friends,
truth and God.
• Don’t sell your principles for money,
position, privileges.
79. Our High Calling p357
• Daniel did not seek to hide his
loyalty to God. He did not
pray in his heart, but with his
voice, aloud, with his window
open toward Jerusalem, he
offered up his petition to
heaven.
80. 2. The majority isn’t always right.
• Be aware of the “mob” reaction.
• Be wary of people who force their
morality on others (esp. leaders).
81. The SDA Church Apology: Late
by 60 years
• Church Leaders say “We’re Sorry”: German
and Austrian Churches apologize for
Holocaust actions. (May 2005 Advent Echo)
• We "deeply regret" any participation in or
support of Nazi activities during the war. The
church bodies "honestly confess" a failure "in
following our Lord" by not protecting Jews,
and others, from that era's genocide.
82. Acts of the Apostles p68
• In matters of conscience the majority
has no power."
– Merle d'Aubigne, History of the
Reformation, b. 13, ch. 5.
83. 3. Determine not to kill.
• Make a stand on combat duty,
abortion and euthanasia.
• We also kill ourselves with bad health
habits.
84. • We can also kill reputations by gossip
and kill others’ faith by bad example.
85. 4. Know & trust God personally.
• Walk with God on a daily basis.
• Trust Him on minor and large, secular
and spiritual issues.
86. • Remember, you are set
aside for a holy purpose.
• You are not to copy the
ways of the world- in
speech, dress, food,
methods and actions.
87. Gospel Workers p373
• We must know Christ personally. Then
only can we rightly represent Him to
the world. Let the prayer constantly
ascend…Wherever we are, we must let
our light shine forth to the glory of God
in good works. This is the great,
important interest of our life.
88. 5. Keep the Sabbath.
• Keep the Sabbath (including the
edges) and it will keep you.
89. Isaiah 58:13, 14
• If thou turn away thy foot from the
sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on
my holy day; and call the sabbath a
delight, and the holy of Jehovah
honorable; and shalt honor it, not
doing thine own ways, nor finding thine
own pleasure, nor speaking thine own
words:
90. The 2nd Commandment with a
Promise
• …then shalt thou delight thyself in
Jehovah; and I will make thee to ride
upon the high places of the earth; and
I will feed thee with the heritage of
Jacob thy father: for the mouth of
Jehovah hath spoken it.
91. God’s Amazing Grace p.156
• It (the Sabbath) is the sign that now
distinguishes God's people as they
come out from the world to enter the
heavenly rest. The Sabbath is a sign of
a relationship existing between God
and His people, a sign that they honor
His law.
92. Gospel Workers p209
• Those who sanctified the Lord God in
their hearts by a strictly devotional
frame of mind, and who sought to
improve the sacred hours in keeping
the Sabbath to the best of their ability,
and to honor God by calling the
Sabbath a delight,
93. Cont…
• --these the angels were specially
blessing with light and health, and
special strength was given them.
– Vol. 2, p. 702.
94. The Sabbath a sign
• In all ages the Sabbath has been the
test of loyalty to God. "It is a sign
between Me and the children of Israel
forever," the Lord declares.
• Gospel Workers, pp. 148, 149. (1915)
95. Final Word From Our Sponsor
• Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror
by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by
day;
• For the pestilence that walketh in
darkness, Nor for the destruction that
wasteth at noonday.
96. Psalm 91: 7
• A thousand shall fall at thy side, And
ten thousand at thy right hand; But it
shall not come nigh thee.
