Presentation Abstract
If the major event of Christ entering the final phase of His ministration in 1844 was misinterpreted as His Second Coming, should we not reconsider the interpretation of the Seven Trumpets also? The question about the accuracy and relevance of the historical interpretation has to be reassessed because the Seven Trumpets message is housed by the ministry of Jesus in the heavenly sanctuary.
In believing the historical account, we almost lost Jesus. What I mean by this is that in this flawed explanation that God is judging the nations that are oppressing His church, our focus is taken away from Christ’s work in the heavenly sanctuary. This is what I mean by almost losing Jesus. Do we know what He is doing in the heavenly temple? Do we know what our duty is while He is there? The Seven Trumpets message is not about God’s judgment upon pagan Rome, and neither is it about the rise of Islam or the Ottoman Turks. If we insist it is past history, we will never be prepared for the crisis to come.
