Sunday: Time of Disappointment — 7 Comments

  1. There is no doubt that disappointment crushes, for some ,their innermost beings.
    One author shares that "Disappointment comes in all sizes Any time our hopes are not realized or our expectations or desires are not fulfilled, we feel disappointed."
    As Christians we can rejoice knowing that Jesus (our best friend)wants to hear about it and quell our hurts.....
    SHOW UP FOR US LORD AND MAY WE CLING TO YOUR PROMISES WHEN DISAPPOINTMENT COMES.

    • I can see similarities between the events of 1844 and 31 AD. Is this how God introduces good news?

      1. Both the coming events were understood to be "sweet" but what came later were "bitter". The Jews expected a Messiah King but what came was a poor servant. The Millerites expected Jesus to come, but Jesus did not appear. Both resulted in great disappointments.

      2. People of God were persecuted in both era.

      3. After disappointments, there were remnants who were not discouraged and continued to "prophesy".

      4. The results: In 31 AD the Apostolic Church was born to bring the gospel to the world. In 1844, the Remnant Church was also born to do the same mission.

      There is good news in disappointments, that is if we prophesy "AGAIN". So let us be patient and not be discouraged.

      That good news is now in our shoulders. Let's share it.

  2. Some disappointments are providential that God's will may be fulfilled. He desires that the gospel be preached to all nationalities as a witness; also he does not wish that anyone should perish. A God who is just and loving is interested in the well-being of his children throughout the globe.

  3. There is also another smilarity between the condition of the church at the first advent the one at the second advent. The devil worked very and the church was ready to reject Christ at His first coming, how much more at his second advent is the devil preparing us to reject His truth that can make us stand at His second coming? let us take time to ponder on this.

  4. It was also stated that 1844 was the cleansing of the sanctuary .may I know what are the things being cleanse here? If I understand correctly all records of transgression will be clean up on the final day of atonement.

    • Domingo, You question, What needs to be cleansed in the sanctuary, is a good one. My comment listed under the December 6 lesson may help.

  5. The Lord knew that his son will come and that preachers who were there preached of his coming too like preachers of today.The 1844 Millerite era and the Daniel vision of 31AD gives an opening to the and sign that there is no one who knows when the Lord is coming.When we read and understand these events,we are encouraged to keep on waiting while others will lag off. God is coming for the second time, and his coming is near. The prophecy in this week lesson is mainly on spreading the Gospel and letting nations aware.
