The title of this song "Temple Made of Time" is the overall theme of my ministry. Restoring Elohim's master timepiece and calendar is the central feature of the restitution of all things spoken of in the book of Acts chapter 3 verse 21.
The Great Controversy between Messiah and Satan is manifest in the battle fought over the theme of time and it is so simple that a child can understand it. Elohim's (God's) true holiday system was established at the beginning of time and it was designed to call man's attention to eternal realities as well as the Saviour of mankind. This holiday system has been counterfeited by Satan.
"And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." Daniel 7:25
Then we have at the very close of time the story of Elohim restoring His calendar among His true people just prior to Yahushua's return.
"Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began." Acts3:21
 I saw that God had children who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They have not rejected the light upon it. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we were filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. This enraged the churches and nominal Adventists, as they could not refute the Sabbath truth. And at this time God's chosen all saw clearly that we had the truth, and they came out and endured the persecution with us. I saw
the sword, famine, pestilence, and great confusion in the land. The wicked thought that we had brought the judgments upon them, and they rose up and took counsel to rid the earth of us, thinking that then the evil would be stayed. {EW 33.2}
It is my personal understanding and deep conviction that as long as the various denominational leadership and laity continue to believe and teach disinformation from the pulpit concerning the Biblical definition of sin and repentance we will never see the gangsters, bikers, porn addicts, porn stars, drug addicts, Jews, pharisees, tax collectors, Muslims, Politicians and effeminate, shaven faced sodomites join the true remnant church and come to repentance.
Just because these people are gross sinners does not mean they are blind and stupid. They can see and discern the hypocrisy of the shaven faced pastors and preachers. In fact, these people are so smart that they don't want to have anything to do with the wickedness that the church is involved in (rejecting truth and pretending to be God's representatives) because they know that there are more sever punishments to come upon the hypocritical church leaders than is coming upon them!!
"When faithful teachers expound the word of God, there arise men of learning, ministers professing to understand the Scriptures, who denounce sound doctrine as heresy, and thus turn away inquirers after truth. Were it not that the world is hopelessly intoxicated with the wine of Babylon, multitudes would be convicted and converted by the plain, cutting truths of the word of God. But religious faith appears so confused and discordant that the people know not what to believe as truth.The sin of the world's impenitence lies at the door of the church." {GC 389.1}
The Biblical definition of repentance would include the cessation of teaching that the commandments, statutes and judgments of Moses' law (including but not limited to all of the feast days listed in Leviticus 23) were nailed to the cross and done away with.
Notice that the great Apostle Paul taught us in clear unmistakable language that all of the holydays of the Bible ARE (present tense) a shadow of "things TO COME"(future tense).
"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body [is] of Christ." Colossians 2:16, 17
Paul did not tell us that the feast days "were shadows of things to come". He was inspired by the Holy spirit to inform us that all of the feast days "are a shadow of things to come" which means that the feast days including the weekly Sabbath have major prophetic significance for us today and they are all shadows of good things yet to take place in the near future!! How exciting that God commands us, His children to celebrate during these times of holy festivity. How awesome that we have been given the privilege of studying and understanding these prophetic rehearsals that are keys to our salvation and restoration to a right relationship with the Almighty King of the universe!
Just as long as Christians of any denomination but especially the Seventh-day Adventist denomination continue to observe the BEAST days of Rome (Christmas, Easter etc.) rather than the feast days of Israel (Sabbath, Passover, Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, Tabernacles Etc.) listed in Leviticus 23 they will continue to fail to point people to the one and only divine Standard of holiness and righteousness which was given to us upon Mt. Sinai and perfectly exemplified in the life of Messiah.
As it stands, the various denomination of our day really do not have a victorious message for the gangster, biker, drug addict, alcoholic, porn addicts, effeminate sodomites, union employees and perverted pedophile Roman Catholic priests because they do not understand and teach what it means to repent or what constitutes sin.
This is why I have decided to dedicate my ministry www.TotalRestitution.com to calling the attention of God's people to the the entire law/Torah of Moses as the moral standard we are commaned to reach rather than to only the ten commandments which can not be kept while ignoring the statutes which were given to guard the Ten Commandments.
Teaching that the Ten Commandments are important and of great moral value while simultaneously teaching people that the statues and judgments of Moses' law are not important is like teaching that people should respect President Oboma while it is OK to disrespect his entourage of body guards. It is insanity. what would happen if a person walked up to one of president Oboma's body guards and slapped him? Would not that person be dealt with very severely by the other body guards on duty? Such will be the case with those that teach that we can treat the statutes of Moses with impunity while claiming reverence for the Ten commandments.
Precepts Given to Guard Decalogue. -- In consequence of continual transgression, the moral law was repeated in awful grandeur from Sinai. Christ gave to Moses religious precepts which were to govern everyday life. These statutes were explicitly given to guard the ten commandments. They were not shadowy types to pass away with the death of Christ. They were to be binding upon men in every age as long as time should last. These commands were enforced by the power of the moral law, and they clearly and definitely explained that law (Ibid., April 15, 1875 [Reprinted in RH May 6, 1875]). {1BC 1104.6}
The weekly Sabbath is only one of the wonderful feast days that God commands his children to observe in Leviticus 23.

This concept is very simple to understand. Even a child can understand it. Jesus and the apostles kept the feast days both before as well as after the cross. So we must follow the example of Jesus and the Apostles. It is so wonderful to spend time with God all of the time but I especially look forward to gather and worshiping Him in a congregation setting with people that can rightly divide the word of truth.
At these set times we have the privilege of encouraging one another and studying deeper into the plan of salvation. On that note I would like to call to your attention the fact that the feast days are a salvational issue. They are not optional for those that have been truly redeemed and it is the "wicked" that do not seek the statutes.
"Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes." Psalms 119:155
Satan, on the other-hand enjoys counterfeiting Yahuwah's holiday system with false holidays like Sunday, "New Years", Christmas, Easter, Birthdays etc. etc. etc. He has always wanted to be like God and to be worshiped like God and thus Satan desires to steal the worship that rightly belongs to God by confusing God's children with counterfeit holidays.
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."
Isaiah 14:12-15
Fact is that God is not socially challenged. He knew from before He created the world that all of us would love to gather together for social events where we could encourage one another, not only once a week but during certain seasons of the year as well.
You see, if the annual holidays specified and commanded in Leviticus chapter 23 were not important to our dear Saviour then Satan and his followers would not put so much effort into creating a counterfeit calendar and holidays to lead God's people astray.
"Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that [ye] commit not [any one] of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I [am] Yahuwah your Elohim." Leviticus 18:30
The simple fact that Satan has created a counterfeit annual holiday system should be enough proof in and of itself that God has an original holy day system for His true people that points them to their Redeemer, Savior, Friend, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Lamb of God, Prince of Peace as well as the divine plan of salvation.
Dear Reader,
Today is the day today we need to begin rebuilding efforts of "The Temple Made of Time". Don't put it off any longer. Time is of the essence. Allow God to work in you of His good pleasure. He longs to meet with you at His appointed feasts/temples in time so that He can shape and mould your character to fit into His heavenly Temple. When we willingly absent ourselves from and neglect to attend the feast days which were designed to cause us to be meek and humble servants like our Saviour we are defeating God's purposes for our lives and are hindering the restitution of all things.
Today, let us begin a vigorous work with Yahushua as the Master Temple Builder. As Apprentices of the Master Builder we must work to repair the "Temple Made of Time". Make a determined effort to find other like minded believers to gather together with during these festive occasions. Especially during these last days of peril and conflict do we need the study time , prayer time and sweet fellowship of the saints. It is certain that Satan will do everything in his powere to keep us from entering God's Temple Made of Time. We need to be firm and determined to stand as true witnesses to the sanctifying power of Elohim and help to vindicate Elohim's perfect, original holyday system established from the foundation of the world.
