Unveiled Hope UNVEILED HOPE By Scotty Smith (This content is used with permission of Scotty Smith) UNVEILED HOPE INTRODUCTION: The Fulfillment of Our Great Hope As I write these words I am sitting at the foot of the Swiss Alps in the little fishing village of Iseltwald, just outside of Interlaken. All of my God given senses are engaged and heightened with an exhilarating intensity. Never have I seen bluer skies with a richness of hue that betrays description. I can feel the fiery warmth of the fall colors in the trees along the ridge of the Alps. And, I can taste the pure vanilla of the fresh white morning snow. Is there something that can be called too beautiful? Am I close to sensory overload? Before me is Lake Brienz whose blue-green waters seem so vast, so inviting, so absolutely calming. No tempest, just a tapestry of peacefulness that resonates with something deep in the core of my soul. It is so good to be here, right now, drinking in this astonishing vision..... for it has been a hard year, really, a hard season of life. So many changes, so many demands ..... I don't know when spiritual warfare has seemed as intense. Good friends are overwhelmed. Family members are facing loss and the adjustments forced with the advancing years. Maybe that's why this setting is just drawing me in. I feel like I am inhaling something much more vital than oxygen. The quiet of this place is so pronounced, so obvious, so centering. All I can hear is the rolling movement of a passenger train on the other side of the lake making its way to the wood carving village of Brienz. The aroma of baking bread is wafting up towards me from the kitchen below as I sit on my balcony. I watch as an older Swiss gentleman rhythmically hand sickles grass on the steep hillside just below me. To my left, a family of cows with brown eyes as big as bagels is grazing. The air is so clear I feel like I can see into next week. I want to get up and move about, to run, to laugh, to sing, to share this scene with those I love. But I am reluctant to disrupt the moment, this precious, holy moment. Surely, I was made for this. Everything seems perfect. "Lord, can I stay here, can this whole experience be frozen in time? What a gift this day is! Your timing could not be better. I've got an idea! I'll set up three shelters or at least a three bedroom chalet for you and Moses and Elijah, right here, right now!" You may be saying to yourself that this seems more like a Swiss travelogue than an introduction to a book about Revelation. Yet as I sit here I cannot think of a more appropriate setting for me to begin my writing, a context which brings together and gives expression to the two driving forces which are compelling me to hammer out my heart on this lap top computer: The first is a near obsession to get the Book of Revelation and its liberating visions back into the hands and hearts of God's sons and daughters. The second is a longing to see my family, friends, the congregation I am so privileged to pastor, and God's people in general, filled with the living hope that Jesus has won for us. These two passions and themes are pronounced in each of the following chapters. They are the twin voices which echo to each other in this entire work. Let me briefly speak to each. I have had many of my friends say to me, "Scotty, why in the world would you tackle Revelation as the focus of your very first book? Are you crazy or are you presumptuous?" No, but I am somewhat angry. My anger is similar to that of the Apostle Paul in his response to how the Judaizers were corrupting the gospel in the province of Galatia. After Paul had faithfully preached salvation by grace through faith, "certain men" came down from Jerusalem and started distorting the gospel by insisting that the male Gentile converts had to be circumcised in order to be fully recognized as Christians. In effect, these legalists were preaching "another gospel which is no gospel at all." They were attempting to put the Galatian converts back under the very law from which Jesus had set them free. Paul went pastorally and theologically ballistic! He knew, as Martin Luther would say later, on the eve of the Reformation, "bad theology is the worst taskmaster of all". The entire book of Galatians is written to confront and to undo the damage of the Jerusalem legalists. In a similar way I am stirred up at how the book of Revelation has suffered at the hands of its many interpreters though the years, and especially by those of recent generations. There are many who simply want to treat the last book of the Bible as though it is a prophetic jigsaw puzzle, written to be solved for the terminal generation of Christians. Others dismiss it as being too veiled, complex and culture bound to be of any benefit for the needs of modern believers. Some so spiritualize the text as to render Revelation little more than a book of parables and allegories. In the early years of my life in Christ I was exposed to a certain very detailed analysis of Revelation which was presented as the one and only correct handling of the text. I was grilled to believe that anyone who really took God's Word seriously and literally would adopt this interpretation, and all the charts that came with it. I was assured that it was the oldest and, therefore, the most trustworthy. All other attempts at explaining Revelation were labeled as being either from a theologically "liberal" tradition or of too recent a vintage to be taken seriously. This particular school of interpretation led me and many of my young Christian friends to develop some wrong thinking and habits concerning the Christian life. I found myself as an immature believer spending too much time reading the headlines and listening to the latest news reports in order to interpret Biblical prophecy. (I am still trying to find those Viet Cong helicopters in the text!) What I needed most was to develop a Biblical world-view, that is, to have been grounded in the Scriptures well enough to view all of life from God's perspective. I was too taken up with "end time" sensationalism. Looking back I can also see where I was influenced to be far more aware of Satan and the pervasiveness of evil than to be preoccupied with our sovereign God, ruling over all things from His throne in heaven; and with the triumphant Lamb of God, who "came to destroy the works of the devil." This led me to withdraw from my culture out of fear into the "safety" of an ingrown Christian subculture. It grieves me to reflect upon how uninvolved and detached I was from the "secular" world. But this "Christian cocoon" living was actually encouraged. We called it "community". Lastly, the teaching I was receiving on Revelation prompted me to develop more of a privatized and individualized spirituality. I had very little understanding of the importance of the Church and our corporate life as the people of God. Much of this spirituality was driven by fear and an inadequate view of the gospel. I remember receiving a whole lot more emphasis on being an "overcomer" through discipline and "trying harder" to please God than in being instructed to "trust boldly in Jesus" and in His all sufficient grace. Since I am a proud man who loves to perform, I became a Pharisee among Pharisees. Today, I'm a Pharisee in recovery. I am not sure which is greater as I recount these things, my anger or my pain. I finally came to the point of giving up on the book of Revelation. It became a closed part of the Scripture to me for several years. I returned to the "safe" haven of the epistles of Paul, like Romans, Ephesians, and Galatians. It wasn't until I was prevailed upon for months (hounded is more like it!) to offer a study of the book of Revelation, that I dared to venture back into the part of God's Word with which I had associated so many bad memories. However, an unbiased study of the text, along with good resourcing and research, led me, literally, to see Revelation in a whole new light. What a surprise our heavenly Father had in store for me as I sought to read and ponder it as though I were a part of the first community of faith in Asia Minor to receive John's series of visions. I have never enjoyed examining and teaching a portion of the Bible more than the year we spent working through this text. Owning both my previous ignorance and prejudices, it was wonderful to rejoice with childlike wonder at what God was opening to us through His Scriptures. This book and its contents is the fruit of that study. I will share with you, in the following chapters, what we discovered to be both true and freeing. Now let me say at the outset that I offer nothing new or novel in this volume. An angel has not appeared to me while in the Alps to reveal secrets that no other man has ever seen.

PREFACE TO THE FIFTH EDITION. The Lord has been pleased to own the testimony of this little volume to the truth of His pre-millennial advent, far beyond any expectation of the measure of its acceptance, at the time it was written. Sent forth in much weakness, it has led many to study the teach¬ ings of His own word; and thus having learned to “love his appearing,” (2 Tim. iv: 8), they are now eagerly “looking for that blessed hope,” (Tit. ii: 13). Again is it sent forth with the prayer that He will graciously use it still more, to awaken the attention of His beloved ones to the last promise that fell from His lips, “ Surely I come quickly,” and to call forth from their hearts the longing response, “ Even so, come, Lord Jesus,” (Rev. xxii: 20).

WHY LITERAL SACRIFICES IN THE MILLENNIUM Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice A common objection to the consistent literal interpretation of Bible prophecy is found in Ezekiel’s Temple vision (Ezek. 40—48). Opponents argue that if this is a literal, future Temple, then it will require a return to the sacrificial system that Christ made obsolete since the prophet speaks of “atonement” (kiper) in Ezekiel 43:13, 27; 45:15, 17, 20. This is true! Critics believe this to be a blasphemous contradiction to the finished work of Christ as presented in Hebrews 10. Hank Hanegraaff says that I have “exacerbated the problem by stating that without animal sacrifices in the Millennium, Yahweh’s holiness would be defiled. That, for obvious reasons, is blasphemous.” He further says that such a view constitutes a return “to Old Covenant sacrifices.”1 “Is it heretical to believe that a Temple and sacrifices will once again exist,” ask John Schmitt and Carl Laney? “Ezekiel himself believed it was a reality and the future home of Messiah.

White Estate —Because “remembering” is es- sential to the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the words and works of the Adventist pioneers need to be given prominence. We are pleased with the skillful, professional efforts put forth to accom- plish this by the Pioneer Library officers and staff. Through books, periodicals and CD-ROM, the messages of the pioneers are being heard, and their influence felt. We trust that the work of the Adventist Pioneer Library will increase and strengthen as earth’s final crisis approaches. C. Mervyn Maxwell, (former) Professor of Church History, SDA Theological Semi- nary —I certainly appreciate the remarkable contribution you are making to Adventist stud- ies, and I hope you are reaching a wide market.... Please do keep up the good work, and may God prosper you. James R. Nix, (former) Vice Director, Ellen G. White Estate —The service that you and the others associated with the Adventist Pioneer Library project are providing our church is incalculable To think about so many of the early publications of our pioneers being available on one small disc would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. I spent years collecting shelves full of books in the Heritage Room at Loma Linda University just to equal what is on this one CD-ROM.

  • MARANATHA! Maranatha! Come, Lord!
    The President’s Hebdomadal Blue Ribbon Newsletter Celebrating 109 years of educational excellence in Covington 340 years of Lasallian tradition throughout the world November 30 - December 06, 2020 Welcome to the seventh week (can you believe it?) of the second quarter! Time marches on! MARANATHA! Happy New Year! Welcome to Advent, the beginning of a new Church year and a time of waiting – not a favorite pastime of today’s instant gratification generation. We thus have many teachable moments during Advent, and I encourage us to teach the value of patience. And we can do that, in part, by personal example. Let’s slow our pace (except for class time, in athletic contests and in hoping that COVID goes away!) and demonstrate that good can come from waiting. Over the next few weeks, be strong and take heart! The Lord is near! I again thank the late Brother Alfred, whose well-built chapel Advent wreath from a few years ago is back in service. And thanks to Jeff Ramon for the Founders Oak Advent candles! Ask your son about them. I like Advent. I know I’m in the minority here, but I find it a very human season. I know, too, that our students don't like Advent because they don't like the concept of waiting. They routinely grumble about waiting in the cafeteria line, about how far away a particular event is that they are looking forward to, etc. Somehow, in our instant gratification society that emphasizes getting what you want as quickly as possible, patience is no longer promoted as a virtue.
