  • Should We Observe the Feast Days? (A Short and Limited Study by G
    1 Should We Observe the Feast Days? (A short and limited study by G. Edward Reid) When the Seventh-day Adventist Church was in its early years’ Sabbath Keeping was quite unique among Christians. Apparently, there were some folks who felt that since we had “rediscovered” the Sabbath, we should also look into whether or not we should also celebrate the Feast Days contained in the Law of Moses or Ceremonial Law. Ellen White was led to write four full articles for the Review and Herald on the topic of “The Lord’s Supper and the Ordinance of Feet-Washing.” They were printed in the RH on four successive weeks May 31 through June 21, 1898. For the value and benefit of context, I have copied all four articles below, placed in bold type, and underlined relevant statements in each article. “May 31, 1898 The Lord's Supper and the Ordinance of Feet-Washing.--No. 1. - Mrs. E. G. White. - "Then came the day of unleavened bread; when the Passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the Passover, that we may eat. And they said unto him, where wilt thou that we prepare? And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. And ye shall say unto the good man of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest-chamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples? And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.

  • The Old Year The
    GENERAL CHURCH PAPER OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS Vol. 108 Takoma Park, Washington, D. C., December 31, 1931 No. 53 I can sing of temptations and failures That I sometimes have had by the way, The Can sing how the blessed Redeemer Has lifted my feet from the clay. And the New Year shall tell of the triumphs That Jesus can give every hour; Old Year Yes, the New Year shall tell what the Old Year Can never again have the power. We can sing of some hands that are vanished and And the voices of loved ones now still, Whose music our hearts once enraptured, And lives with their sunshine did fill. Yes, the Old Year has given and taken, the New Its dreams are all gone with their lure; Let us turn now and face the bright New Year With hearts set to dare and endure. Let's forever, then, leave the dead ashes, For the fire of the Old Year's burnt out With pictures which glowed for a moment, By Mary Valliant Nowlin As breath of time stirred them about; They are now left all scattered and lifeless, And cold on the hearthstone of night. For the day of the Old Year is ended, Forever has passed out of sight. But the New Year, with leaves all unfolded, Is ours to write on what we will, WILL sing you a song of the Old Year, Of deeds that shall tell for the Master, Of the New Year I cannot now sing; The unwritten pages to fill.

  • Tetragrammaton Is the Key to Occult Theogony
    Tetragrammaton is the Key to Occult Theogony Tetragrammaton is the Key to Occult Theogony v. 10.21, www.philaletheians.co.uk, 7 June 2021 Page 1 of 26 SECRET DOCTRINE’S FIRST PROPOSITION SERIES THE KEY TO OCCULT THEOGONY Abstract and train of thoughts The Tetragrammaton is a mere mask concealing its connection with the supernal and the infernal worlds Four statements, allegedly from the Kabbalah, which have been brought forward to oppose our septenary doctrine, are completely wrong. 5 Ignorance is the curse of God. Knowledge barely understood is like a headstrong horse that throws the rider. Admitting ignorance is the first step to enlightenment. 5 The four letters of the Tetragrammaton is a mere mask concealing its polar connection with the supernal and the infernal worlds. 6 The Tetragrammaton is Microprosopus, a “Lesser Face,” and the infernal reflection of Macroprosopus, the “Limitless Face.” 6 AHIH and IHVH are glyphs of existence and symbols of terrestrial-androgynous life; they cannot be confounded with EHEIEH which is the Parabrahman of the Vedantist, That of the Chhandogya Upanishad, The Absolute of Hegel, The One Life of the Buddhist, the Ain- Soph (the Hebrew Parabrahman). They are transient reflections of EHEIEH, and therefore illusions of separateness. 6 The Tetragrammaton is a phantom veiled with four breaths. It is dual, triple, quaternary, and septenary. When the human ģ, purified from all earthly pollutions, begins vibrating in unison with the Cosmic ġ, the Pythagorean Tetractys is formed in a living man. 7 Man is cube unfolding as cross. The One is She, the Spirit of the Elohim of Life.

Spotify: Is Spotify the Problem or a Symptom of the Problem? Abstract Today, streaming is the prevailing mode of music consumption. Yet, streaming services are struggling to turn a profit, as songwriters also face significant financial challenges in the streaming era. All the while, record labels are collecting the majority of streaming revenue and seeing record profits. The 2018 Music Modernization Act attempted to address songwriters’ and streaming services’ financial problems by altering the factors considered by the Copyright Royalty Board in determining the mechanical royalty rates owed by streaming platforms to songwriters. A proper application of this newly instated factor test necessitates considering both songwriters’ and streaming services’ business operations and finances. However, during the 2018–2022 mechanical rate determinations, the majority court largely disregarded the financial interests of streaming services in determining the new mechanical rate.
