Friends, you know,
our time comes and goes
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
so quickly here at 3ABN.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
But we wanted to
whet your appetite
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.73
for a couple of things.
00:00:05.77\00:00:07.47
Ronald, just summarize
00:00:07.54\00:00:09.64
Andrews University Press,
00:00:09.67\00:00:12.44
a very reputable place.
00:00:12.47\00:00:14.18
Students are walking
00:00:14.21\00:00:15.54
through those
hallways every day,
00:00:15.58\00:00:17.15
minds of pastors and teachers.
00:00:17.18\00:00:19.95
And talk about the materials
that we could go ahead,
00:00:20.02\00:00:22.15
and examine,
00:00:22.18\00:00:24.09
and be a part of our
library from Andrews.
00:00:24.12\00:00:25.92
We're very honored to be
00:00:25.95\00:00:28.76
the church's primary
academic publishing house,
00:00:28.79\00:00:31.49
which means that our
purpose is to publish
00:00:31.53\00:00:34.76
what is understood
00:00:34.80\00:00:36.13
to be the best consensus
of Adventist scholarship
00:00:36.16\00:00:39.67
for the benefit
of the whole church,
00:00:39.70\00:00:41.67
not just for the
benefit of scholars,
00:00:41.70\00:00:43.51
scholars talking to scholars,
00:00:43.54\00:00:45.04
but scholars
talking to the world church.
00:00:45.07\00:00:47.68
We have a rich catalog,
00:00:47.71\00:00:49.11
and we're greatly
honored to be able to do that.
00:00:49.14\00:00:52.55
Okay, and Dr. Stefanovic,
I know we're friends,
00:00:52.58\00:00:54.45
we call Ranko, but give
me a summary on as we...
00:00:54.48\00:00:56.62
Actually, first I want
to say something about Ron.
00:00:56.69\00:00:59.15
I'm doing that
without his permission.
00:00:59.19\00:01:01.39
You introduced him as director
of Andrews University Press.
00:01:01.42\00:01:04.96
That's his title,
that's his position,
00:01:04.99\00:01:07.20
but I consider him as a pastor.
00:01:07.23\00:01:09.53
What he's doing
00:01:09.56\00:01:11.30
in with his team
preparing those books,
00:01:11.33\00:01:13.64
they're doing that
with a pastoral heart.
00:01:13.67\00:01:15.97
There's no intention
00:01:16.00\00:01:17.34
simply to fill the minds
of people with information,
00:01:17.41\00:01:20.18
but also to touch their hearts
00:01:20.21\00:01:22.24
with that final goal
00:01:22.28\00:01:23.65
that one day
that we find ourselves
00:01:23.68\00:01:25.05
in God's kingdom.
00:01:25.08\00:01:26.41
So give me 30 seconds.
00:01:26.45\00:01:27.78
Thirty seconds.
00:01:27.82\00:01:29.15
What are the last words
of the Book of Revelation?
00:01:29.18\00:01:32.09
Okay, I can have a long story.
00:01:32.12\00:01:34.52
Usually nobody is aware of that.
00:01:34.56\00:01:36.46
It's the grace
00:01:36.49\00:01:38.06
of our Lord Jesus Christ
00:01:38.09\00:01:41.43
be with all of you.
00:01:41.46\00:01:42.96
These are the final
words of the Book of Revelation
00:01:43.00\00:01:45.27
telling us as you
talk about the future,
00:01:45.30\00:01:47.84
all what we need in our lives
00:01:47.87\00:01:49.54
is the grace of
our Lord Jesus Christ,
00:01:49.57\00:01:51.91
the One who died on
the cross of Calvary.
00:01:51.94\00:01:53.58
Wow, I'm so thankful
that you've come today.
00:01:53.61\00:01:55.54
And thank you so
much for also being here.
00:01:55.58\00:01:57.28
And thank you for tuning in.
00:01:57.35\00:01:58.88
One day, the
revelation of Jesus Christ
00:01:58.91\00:02:01.55
will give way to the
revelation of Jesus Christ.
00:02:01.58\00:02:04.85
Until that day,
may God bless you,
00:02:04.89\00:02:06.59
and have a
blessed day in Christ.
00:02:06.62\00:02:08.52
