  • Of the Spirit Jesus said, “He shall glorify Me.” The Saviour came to glorify the Father by the demonstration of His love; so the Spirit was to glorify Christ by revealing His grace to the world. The very image of God is to be reproduced in humanity. The honor of God, the honor of Christ, is involved in the perfection of the character of His people. { DA 671.3}

    Dear Eugene,

    Thank you for your series on the 1888 message at the recent GYC conference – it was truly a blessing. I am currently taking a graduate course with Richard Davidson through Andrews University entitled “Sanctuary Doctrine”. He is the process of publishing a book about the sanctuary and has been commissioned to write the section on Exodus in the new SDA Bible Commentary.

    He is very interested to hear your position on the Last Generation Theology. He is refreshed to hear your Christ-centered position on the topic. I will share with him your message from GYC (session 6), but would like to share with him your written material on the topic. Exactly which documents on your website would be most relevant?

    Blessings to you,
    Dustin Pestlin

      Wow, Dustin, this is a bit late. I hope you connected with me some other way. But you were replying to the correct article, so I think you found the document. But I think my sermons are generally more Christ centered than my articles for this reason…they are generally more recent and I am growing. Be faithful. — Eugene

    While God brings His church to spiritual maturity at the end, do you teach that the second coming of Jesus is delayed until His church decides to get serious and “get perfect”?

    • Eugene Prewitt

      I teach that the “end” happens when the angel tells Jesus that the harvest is “ripe” (Re 14.) But that this depends on the church deciding to get serious….I would never express things that way. Here is why: Isaiah 1 shows that God can change the church contrary to its own will…not by violating the will of any man, but by removing men that won’t be changed. So the shaking, as pictured in many chapters, removes those that do not cooperate with heaven. That way, the timing depends not on leading committees, but upon the wilful cooperation of individual believers. More could be written on this, but that is enough for now.
