For decades both Seventh-day Adventists and Davidian Seventh-day Adventists have wrestled over the proper application of the special resurrection found in Daniel 12:2. For example, more recently in early 2012 a certain Sister Cheche Cortal asked the following probing question on a Facebook discussion group that was never brought to a satisfactory conclusion. Brothers in Christ, how can we harmonize the writing of the Rod with the passage on GC 637 about the special resurrection of Dan 12:2? ...
Revisiting the “Living Spirit of Prophecy”
A showdown at antitypical Mt. Carmel is underway between the prophet of God and the prophets of Baal.

Part Two: Some Criteria for God’s Storehouse
Part Two: What are Some Criteria of God’s Storehouse? (for Part One in this series, please click this link.)

Others suggest that keeping the ceremonial law was the missing element in the 1888 message brought by Elders A. T. Jones and E. J. Waggoner. What ...
Should we Follow the “New Codes” Today?
Perhaps one of the clearest evidences that Davidia is still knocked out and spiritually unconscious today is in regards to the topic of whether we should accept the Symbolic Codes published by Florence Houteff after the death of Bro. Houteff as part of the inspired message of the Shepherd's Rod.
