Drawing on extensive historical documentation from Josephus and biblical parallels, this presentation challenges conventional eschatology by revealing how Jewish revolutionaries (not Romans) committed the Abomination when they occupied the Temple, how Christians fled Jerusalem exactly as instructed, and how Rome's siege weapons created a phenomenon where watchmen cried out “THE SON COMETH!” as 100-pound stones hurtled toward the city.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">Even skeptics like C.S.

The talk examines the human cost of repeated false prophetic alarms throughout history, from medieval European panic to modern American prophecy movements led by figures like William Miller, Ellen G. White, and Charles Taze Russell.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;">The presentation addresses the difficult position of ministers who recognize this historical truth but hesitate to share it for fear of disrupting their congregations' faith and lives, especially those who've made significant life decisions based on end-times teachings. It concludes with gentle guidance for pastors to approach this subject with wisdom, patience, and grace, acknowledging that God's truth unfolds gradually through careful study rather than dramatic revelation.</span></p> The Beauty of Holiness 2025-03-02T10:25:49+00:00 2025-03-02T10:25:49+00:00 https://atavistbiblechurch.org/index.php/tracts/the-beauty-of-holiness M.E.M. <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">[Click the image to review]</span></p> <p><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/17cCLnDdNwfAMgAIHt17EP2iAFdsSZQC4/view?usp=sharing"><img src="https://atavistbiblechurch.org/images/The_Beauty_of_Holiness_True_Christian_Since_1987jpg.jpg" alt="The Beauty of Holiness True Christian Since 1987jpg" width="500" height="647" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"></a><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Description:&nbsp;</span></strong></span><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: 18pt;">This talk explores "The Beauty of Holiness" as a transformative approach to everyday Christian living.
