Our time is almost
up but before we go,
00:00:01.33\00:00:03.63
I want to get some
final thoughts from our Panel.
00:00:03.67\00:00:06.27
Sister Shelley, you have
any final thoughts for us?
00:00:06.30\00:00:09.00
Shelley: I'm still
thinking about Mary of Bethany
00:00:09.04\00:00:11.71
as she broke the alabaster box
00:00:11.74\00:00:14.04
and I believe
that was Mary Magdalene
00:00:14.08\00:00:15.88
now called Mary of Bethany...
00:00:15.91\00:00:17.65
broke the alabaster box
in a pure act of devotion...
00:00:17.68\00:00:20.88
you know what
Jesus says in John 7:47,
00:00:20.92\00:00:23.79
He tells His host,
00:00:23.85\00:00:25.19
"You know what?
She was forgiven a lot
00:00:25.22\00:00:27.96
and she loves a lot
00:00:27.99\00:00:29.62
but those who are
forgiven little, love little. "
00:00:29.66\00:00:32.93
Ryan: Hmmm... powerful.
00:00:32.96\00:00:34.30
I said I was going to
read from my Great Controversy,
00:00:34.30\00:00:36.13
I'm going to do that.
00:00:36.16\00:00:37.50
This is what...
she's talking here...
00:00:37.53\00:00:38.97
Mrs. Ellen
White is talking about
00:00:39.00\00:00:40.57
the historical
application of signs...
00:00:40.60\00:00:42.80
this happens prior to
the second coming of Jesus
00:00:42.84\00:00:44.94
and this is referring to
the Dark Day... I love this.
00:00:44.97\00:00:47.14
She says, "Fear
and anxiety, and awe
00:00:47.21\00:00:50.11
gradually filled
the minds of the people.
00:00:50.18\00:00:51.71
Women stood at the door, looking
out upon the dark landscape;
00:00:51.78\00:00:55.42
and men returned from
their labor in the fields;
00:00:55.48\00:00:58.22
the carpenter left his
tools, the blacksmith his forge,
00:00:58.25\00:01:01.22
and the tradesman his counter.
00:01:01.26\00:01:02.76
Schools were dismissed,
00:01:02.79\00:01:04.13
and tremblingly the
children fled homeward.
00:01:04.19\00:01:08.06
Travelers put up at
the nearest farmhouse.
00:01:08.10\00:01:11.80
'What is coming?'
queried every lip and heart.
00:01:11.83\00:01:15.50
It seemed as if a hurricane was
about to dash across the land,
00:01:15.54\00:01:19.37
or as if it was the day of the
consummation of all things. "
00:01:19.44\00:01:23.24
What a scary day
but at the same time
00:01:23.28\00:01:25.21
this is what the
Bible says would happen
00:01:25.28\00:01:27.15
prior to the great and
mighty day of the Lord.
00:01:27.18\00:01:29.68
Ricky: Amen, Brother John.
00:01:29.72\00:01:31.35
Dinzey: I just
want to say, you know,
00:01:31.39\00:01:32.72
we don't know
the day and the hour
00:01:32.75\00:01:34.09
when Jesus Christ is coming
00:01:34.12\00:01:35.46
but when you look
at Matthew chapter 24,
00:01:35.49\00:01:36.86
Jesus says something...
00:01:36.89\00:01:38.23
He says, "When you see
these things happening...
00:01:38.26\00:01:39.76
know that His coming is near. "
00:01:39.79\00:01:41.30
We can know that
His coming is near
00:01:41.33\00:01:43.57
and as we know
that His coming is near,
00:01:43.60\00:01:45.43
it is a wake-up call to
say, "Hey, watch and be ye ready
00:01:45.47\00:01:50.94
for you do not
know when that hour is
00:01:50.97\00:01:53.48
and Jesus Christ is
coming soon, be ye also ready. "
00:01:53.51\00:01:56.24
Panel: Amen.
00:01:56.28\00:01:57.65
Ricky: Well, thank
you for joining us.
00:01:57.68\00:01:59.18
I want to leave you
with these Scriptures,
00:01:59.21\00:02:01.58
2nd Timothy 3:16 and 17,
00:02:01.62\00:02:03.75
"All Scripture is given
by the inspiration of God,
00:02:03.82\00:02:06.65
and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction,
00:02:06.69\00:02:09.32
for instruction
in righteousness:
00:02:09.36\00:02:11.19
that the man of
God may be complete,
00:02:11.23\00:02:13.19
thoroughly equipped
for every good work. "
00:02:13.23\00:02:16.77
God bless and come
back and join us again.
00:02:16.80\00:02:20.44
Shelley: Amen...
thank you so much.
00:02:20.47\00:02:22.47
