Brief
Here in this chapter we examine details of the Scriptural system of time, its unique physical benefits that can be gained and how it offers everyone the opportunity to choose for themselves who they will serve.
Selected Excerpts:
Page 129
“. . .behold I set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My Name” Revelation 3:8
An open door that no man can shut, where does it lead?

The plan of salvation was developed before time itself, therefore those who align themselves to His appointed times will be in the proper order of design, and will be prepared to receive His blessings . . . as it is written. As Noah prepared and benefitted, so will others who obey the scheduled appointments.
People who make time fit their desires have no regard for the Author of time. When they run out of time where will they get more? The choice is one life time or His time . . . Eternal time!!

This Country was at one time a great Nation; a Nation born in conflict and burdens, and through it, a search for liberty. Our forefathers worked to break every yoke in order that men may be free to pursue life, liberty and happiness. That their families, their children and their children’s children may receive the blessings they strived to gain. Liberty came with rules and responsibilities that had to be maintained in order that future generations might keep it.

. . . To keep and maintain liberty we had to obey Supreme law.
Liberty also came with a price. The cost was blood . . . real blood . . . From Real Men!! So others may benefit. It wasn’t spiritual, it was real.
In years past when our forefathers studied Scripture in schools, in their homes, in their churches and assemblies, they yearned and searched for the truth. They were oppressed by the traditions of the State controlled Church, burdensome taxes and government control. Many great men rose to lead, but not as men lead today; they were Statesmen not Politicians. They led not in power and control, but in service to their fellow men. They sought to bond with others who were of like minds and hearts. That’s when ships were made of wood and men were made of iron . . . unfortunately, days long past.
The message they left for us, cast in steel, “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land” is inscribed on Our Liberty Bell and taken directly from Leviticus 25:10. “Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound, on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you . . .”
Isn’t it ironic that our liberty bell has cracked as we have traded our liberty for license? We have disregarded the Law and now seek counsel from those who use the law to manipulate us through our own ignorance. We’ve been fooled by our guides.
Yet, a glimmer of hope! Are there eyes that will see; and ears that will still hear? Can truth be restored? Can error be removed?
Is liberty to be restored ? Will the bell sound again? Should we make a new one? The rules for engagement haven’t changed; they are still the same, . . . obedience to Supreme Law as a Nation.
Israel went into bondage for the sins of the nation. The churches today preach a popular gospel, one that speaks of individual salvation. Yet, only thirty percent of the Scriptures deal with the individual while the overwhelming balance, seventy percent, deals with government and the administration of a people. IT IS A BOOK OF LAW. . . FOR A PEOPLE . . . FOR A NATION! It is NOT a book of religion!

His plan involves the active, free will choice of every individual. The simple choices we make will decide our fate for all time. We are offered an open door that beckons us to enter. To enter into His rest moves us away from pagan foolishness and traditions of men. Our allegiance to ignorance leads to our demise. Only truth gets us home!
There are no appointments like His appointments. There are no gifts like those Our Father offers.

To the world it is foolishness. To fools it is a mark of their judgement.
