Advent Movement
The Exodus of Ancient Israel from Ancient Egypt And the Exodus of Modern Israel From Modern Spiritual Babylon By Taylor Bunch
This series of thirty-six sermons on the parallels between ancient and modern Israel in the Exodus and Advent movements were delivered during the Sabbath afternoon vesper services in the Battle Creek Tabernacle. They are being published in this form for the special accommodation of those who heard them, and also because of requests from ministers and other gospel workers who desire them. This series is of special value in meeting apostates and divergent movements, and in establishing Seventh-day Adventists in "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."

1. PURPOSE OF SERIES
Certainty of Truth. Luke 1:1-4. We are living in a world of uncertainty where there is nothing sure but God and His truth. If we pass safely through the perils of the last days we must know individually the certainties of the foundations of our faith. Satan is now making his last and fiercest attack on the remnant against whom he is furiously angry. Revelation 12:12. As we near the end of the conflict Satan will make his supreme and most desperate effort to shake our confidence in the word of God and the message of salvation for this time. Under this attack many will lose faith and cast away their confidence. Hebrews 10:35-39. Just before the return of Jesus many will get off on side issues and allow themselves to be sidetracked from the main line of the message. We can only reach our destination by keeping on the main line. A Sure Foundation. 2 Timothy 2:15-19. "Yet God's solid foundation stands unmoved, bearing this inscription, 'The Lord knows those who really belong to Him' and this also, 'Let everyone who names the name of the Lord renounce all wickedness."—Wey. The seal that makes the foundation sure is God's acknowledgment that we are His because we have departed from all iniquity. A "seal" is defined as "that which authenticates, confirms,

    The rich relation the African Christians found with the history of Israel forces me to see the past in a new light. After the Civil War, Brother Thornton, suggested that “Promised Land” was still in the distance for Africans in America, stating, “We have been in the furnace of affliction, and are still…I am assured that what God begins, he will bring to an end…There must be no looking back to Egypt…If we would have greater freedom of body, we must free ourselves from the shackles of sin, and especially the sin of unbelief.” The humility seen in Thornton and in the writing of Raboteau, offer no blame for the sin done, sometimes even in the name of Christianity. But rather seek to humbly seek change. This is something I believe every Christian would wish to be a description of their church leadership and congregation. The “Invisible Institution” of the early American African church and their rich heritage show deep humility and a desire for gospel change. A people that despite being abused by the church, fought to better the…

    In his introduction, Oswalt discusses how roughly sixty years ago it was widely agreed upon in academic circles that the Israelite religion stood apart from their neighbor’s Semitic religion. However, the tide has now turned, for the world of academia largely affirms the Israelite faith is just another religion in the sea of Ancient Near Eastern mythology and religion. Oswalt questions why this drastic change has come. He believes the data from the past is no different then the data used today. Therefore, the problem is how one interprets the data. He discusses the use of “accidentals” and “essentials” while studying the similarities and differences between the Old Testament and mythology.…

    Notes on Dispensationalism

    The covenant theologian sees God’s revelation and man’s history as an outworking of God’s redemptive purposes for mankind, especially through Israel. It adopts the word “covenant” from the Bible but uses it in a different time framework than those covenants recorded through the Old and New Testaments. It chooses, overall, a less literal approach to Scripture interpretation, especially prophecy, and makes no clear distinction between the Israel of the Old Testament and the church of the New Testament. A modern modification is New Covenant Theology, which makes a complete disjunction between the old covenant and the new covenant. There is a modification of covenant theology based on the kingdom and its relationship to the covenants; this seeks to be a bridge between covenant and dispensational theology.…

    One result of this persecution is anti-Semitism, which is one of the major obstacles of sharing the gospel with Jewish people. Most of the population in Israel is Jewish, so this obstacle needs to be overcome before many of the Jews will even listen to the gospel. Most of the Jewish population associate Christians with the hatred of Jewish people. Christians who are going forth to proclaim Christ must show their love for the Jewish people in order for this barrier of anti-Semitism to be broken down. In order to understand the Jewish nation of Israel’s history more clearly, the language, culture, economy, religion and family will be examined. This will help to provide a framework for how one can reach the Jewish nation with the…

    According to C.E. Autrey, “Old Testament evangelism was largely a matter of revivals; there were no personal efforts on the part of anyone to win converts.”25 The author believed, Old Testament revivals were not revivals in the sense, in which today’s communities view them. Autrey proclaimed, the spiritual revivals in the history of Judah and Israel, during the times of the Old Testament’s prophets, kings, patriarchs, and scribes, were at an all-time decline constantly.26 On the other hand, according Autrey, the New Testament demonstrated a full approach to an evangelistic ministry.27 He continued, “The Apostle Paul and many of the other apostles, used writing, as well as mass and personal evangelism, to further spiritual conquest.”28…
