The problems connected with the dating of Artaxerxes I of Persia have long intrigued Biblical historians, because the 7th and 20th regnal years of that king are mentioned in the Bible in connection with important events in the history of Israel, yet these events have been given differing B.C. dates in different works.The discovery of the Brooklyn Museum Aramaic papyri (published by Draeling in 1953)--an additional group of double-dated fifth-century papyri from Elephantine--led to the writing of the present work.This book is now being republished in the hope that it will continue to clarify the subject and bring a solution of a somewhat difficult problem in Biblical chronology.
If you've ever wondered what day God wants us to worship on, or if He even really cares, by the time you finish this book, there will be no doubt in your mind that the seventh-day Sabbath is the Sabbath of the Lord. The author traces the Sabbath's history from creation through the last days of this earth's history and into heaven and the new earth. Jesus said, "If you love me, obey my commandments" (John 14:15, NLT). This book details this comment and shows that keeping the Sabbath is one way to show our love to God. When we love someone, we take pleasure in doing things they ask us to or know they like. So it is with God. When we love him, it is a pleasure to obey His commandments. Obedience is never a burden when love is the motive. Another facet of this book is giving Bible proof that the God we serve is a three-in-one God-three Persons, one God. God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Each with His own role to fulfill, yet one in purpose and one in ways humans can't begin to grasp.

Which switch do we use to power off a device? The on-off switch, correct? It is one switch.Has the enemy convinced humanity that God has two power switches-one that does good things and one that brings destruction? Or will one switch be sufficient, the same as the one for our electric lights that both closes the circuit and brings light or breaks the circuit and "brings" darkness? Have we succumbed to a muddy picture of God? Awesome God: Songs of His Power is a collection of studies that carries forward the work of As He Is: Issues in the 'Character of God' Controversy (TEACH Services, Inc., 2012) in its purpose to help us see God more clearly in His actions throughout salvation history. In this compilation, the theme chosen is power. God possesses all power. The question raised is that if Creator God used His power to establish all that exists, including humans and angels, and if He continues by that same power to uphold and sustain all of it, does He need to draw upon that power to actively destroy and punish sinners? Is there another way to see how God handles power? In this volume and the next, we strive to speak well of the Omnipotent One and build upon established principles of divine love and righteousness to present a pure portrayal of Him, a consistent picture of our Adonai, who engages in warfare righteously. Drawing upon Scriptural and Spirit of Prophecy evidence: We examine the language used in the Bible pertaining to divine wrath and punishment.We earnestly review official church publications that seek to reinforce the traditional view of divine retribution and justice and are invited to consider that institutional religion has been giving a dirty picture of God. We look more closely at God's commands to ancient Israel regarding the use of carnal weapons to conduct physical warfare and bring justice. Why would He do that if these are not His methods?We get into the role of angels in righteous warfare and how they use power, finding that it is consistent with the divine attributes and methods.Finally, we expand upon the work begun in As He Is regarding the final destruction of the wicked, detailing the nature of the various fires that take sin and sinners out of existence. Are they literal, figurative, or both? Awesome God will have you singing about a new version of Awesomeness!
Throughout his life, Curtis Miller has always endeavored to follow the Lord's leading, even when it meant relocating his family to the Middle East Division of Seventh-day Adventists. As a child, he grew up hearing the thrilling mission stories told by his uncle Clarence and his aunts Mary and Bess-some of the earliest Seventh-day Adventist missionaries to far-away lands.This compelling story of how a young boy grows up to be a dedicated foreign missionary will captivate the reader as they read about his early school years struggling with what we know now as ADHD; his academy years navigating the ups and downs of relationships; his time in college and deciding to become a minister; and finally, his call to be a missionary in Turkey.The adventure begins with the family taking a trans-Atlantic voyage to Italy. Curtis recalls, "As I turned to walk to our cabin, a knife flew past my shoulder, striking the wall behind me, then hitting the floor at my feet." This was one of the many times that God put a hand of protection on Curtis and his family as they braved a foreign country to share the Gospel of Christ. During the six years the family spent in Turkey, they worked hand-in-hand with the local people to bring things such as Vacation Bible School, Pathfinders, and health and temperance presentations to the community.As Curtis is placed in situations that require the utmost faith in God to prevail, he never lets go of God's guiding hand. Sometimes the road is hard and the outcome a disappointment, but he always remembers Who brought him to this mission field and his purpose in being there. While successes did abound, there will always be that one unkept promise that will forever be in his heart.
