4 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 4 “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.” James 5:7 (KJV) [The second coming of Jesus Christ is preceded by the early and latter rain.] To understand what the early and latter rain are, let us look in the Bible and investigate the context of where these terms are used and/or described: “Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. ” Joel 2:23 (KJV) [The former and latter rain are from God and are worth rejoicing over.] “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.” Hosea 6:3 (KJV) [God will use the former and latter rain to guide and prepare us for the eternal heavenly kingdom.] Bible Commentary on the Latter Rain

5 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 5 “23But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. 24Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. 25Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.” Jeremiah 5:23-25 (KJV) [One with an obedient heart will understand that the former and latter rain are from God and turn us away from sin.] “13And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.” Deuteronomy 11:13 and 14 (KJV) [If you love the Lord and show that love in keeping His commandments, He promises to give the former and latter rain to us.] “And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.” Job 29:23 (KJV) [Those waiting and following God are ready to receive the light that the latter rain will bring.] Bible Commentary on the Latter Rain

8 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 8 “Under the influence of the fertilizing showers, the tender shoot springs up. The latter rain, falling near the close of the season, ripens the grain, and prepares it for the sickle. The Lord employs these operations of nature to represent the work of the Holy Spirit. As the dew and the rain are given first to cause the seed to germinate, and then to ripen the harvest, so the Holy Spirit is given to carry forward, from one stage to another, the process of spiritual growth. The ripening of the grain represents the completion of the work of God’s grace in the soul. By the power of the Holy Spirit the moral image of God is to be perfected in the character. We are to be wholly transformed into the likeness of Christ.”- The Review and Herald, March 2, 1897 paragraph 1. Ellen G. White Commentary on the Latter Rain

9 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 9 Ellen G. White Commentary on the Latter Rain (Cont.) “The latter rain, ripening earth’s harvest, represents the spiritual grace that prepares the church for the coming of the Son of Man. But unless the former rain has fallen, there will be no life; the green blade will not spring up. Unless the early showers have done their work, the latter rain can bring no seed to perfection. There is to be ‘first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.’ There must be a constant development of Christian virtue, a constant advancement in Christian experience. This we should seek with intensity of desire, that we may adorn the doctrine of Christ our Saviour. Many have in a great measure failed to receive the former rain. They have not obtained all the benefits that God has thus provided for them. They expect that the lack will be supplied by the latter rain. When the richest abundance of grace shall be bestowed, they intend to open [Continued on the next slide...]

10 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 10 Ellen G. White Commentary on the Latter Rain (Cont.) their hearts to receive it. They are making a terrible mistake. The work that God has begun in the human heart in giving his light and knowledge, must be continually going forward. Every individual must realize his own necessity. The heart must be emptied of every defilement, and cleansed for the indwelling of the Spirit. It was by the confession and forsaking of sin, by earnest prayer and consecration of themselves to God, that the early disciples prepared for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. The same work, only in greater degree, must be done now. Then the human agent had only to ask for the blessing, and wait for the Lord to perfect the work concerning him. It is God who began the work, and he will finish his work, making man complete in Jesus Christ. But there must be no neglect of the grace represented by the former rain. [Continued on the next slide...]

11 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 11 Ellen G. White Commentary on the Latter Rain (Cont.) Only those who are living up to the light they have, will receive greater light. Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.”- The Review and Herald, March 2, 1897 paragraphs 3 and 4.]

12 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 12 Ellen G. White Commentary on the Latter Rain (Cont.) “The Holy Spirit seeks to abide in each soul. If it is welcomed as an honored guest, those who receive it will be made complete in Christ. The good work begun will be finished; the holy thoughts, heavenly affections, and Christlike actions will take the place of impure thoughts, perverse sentiments, and rebellious acts. The Holy Spirit is a divine teacher. If we heed its lessons, we shall become wise unto salvation.”- Special Testimonies for Ministers and Workers, (1897), pages 38 and 39.

13 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 13 Ellen G. White Commentary on the Latter Rain (Cont.) “At no point in our experience can we dispense with the assistance of that which enables us to make the first start. The blessings received under the former rain are needful to us to the end. Yet these alone will not suffice. While we cherish the blessing of the early rain, we must not, on the other hand, lose sight of the fact that without the latter rain, to fill out the ears and ripen the grain, the harvest will not be ready for the sickle, and the labor of the sower will have been in vain.”- The Review and Herald, March 2, 1897 paragraph 5.

14 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 14 Ellen G. White Commentary on the Latter Rain (Cont.) “A revival of true godliness among us is the greatest and most urgent of all our needs. To seek this should be our first work. There must be earnest effort to obtain the blessing of the Lord, not because God is not willing to bestow his blessing upon us, but because we are unprepared to receive it. Our Heavenly Father is more willing to give his Holy Spirit to them that ask him, than are earthly parents to give good gifts to their children. But it is our work, by confession, humiliation, repentance, and earnest prayer, to fulfill the conditions upon which God has promised to grant us his blessing. A revival need be expected only in answer to prayer.”- The Review and Herald, March 22, 1887, paragraph 1.

16 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 16 The book Lord of the Codes clearly demonstrates that the Bible codes are God’s messages for us at the end of time; but for now, in this presentation, let’s look at two interesting quotes: Know and understand that at the end of time: “The Spirit and power of God will be poured out upon his children. At that time many will separate themselves from those churches in which the love of this world has supplanted love for God and his Word. Many, both of ministers and people, will gladly accept those great truths which God has caused to be proclaimed at this time, to prepare a people for the Lord’s second coming.[emphasis added]”- The Great Controversy (1888), page 464. The messages in the Bible codes could not be proclaimed until the advent of the computer a few years ago. This being the case, how do we know that this is truth to be heeded? “Young men and women will be lifted up, and will regard themselves as wonderfully favored, called to do some great thing. There will be conversions many, after a peculiar order, but they will not bear the divine signature.[emphasis added]”- Selected Messages Book 2, (1958), page 59. The existence of the Bible codes is very clearly a divine signature of God’s handy work. Now, let’s look at a few Bible code matrices that relate to the latter rain. Is This Truth?

17 The_Latter_Rain_Rev-F.ppt©2004-2012; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 17 Relevancy of the surface text with the latter rain information: Habakkuk 2:1 “I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.” [A question is posed to God by Habakkuk asking; “Where is the prophetic information that I should be writing as a prophet?”] Habakkuk 2:2 “And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” [The Lord explains how to de-cipher the Bible codes.] Shared Letters: Encoded words [Ellen G.] “White” and “prophetess” share one of the same encoded letters Repeated Terms: [Ellen G] “White” four times, two different spellings of the word for “sealed” Matrix Comments (latter rain)

Precious truths that have long been in obscurity are to be revealed in a light that will make manifest their sacred worth ; for God will glorify His word, that it may appear in a light in which we have never before beheld it.” [emphasis added]- Counsels on Sabbath School Work, page 25.

The word of the Lord will be fulfilled. Isaiah 29:19-24 was repeated. I dared not move, not knowing where I was. I cried unto the Lord, What does it mean? These representations of destruction were repeated. Where am I? In scenes I have represented that which will be; but warn My people to cease from putting their trust in men who are not obedient to my warnings and who despise My reproof, for the day of the Lord is right upon the world when evidence shall be made sure. Those who have followed the voices that would turn things upside down will themselves be turned where they cannot see, but will be as blind men.” Ellen G. White Reveals That Encoded Information Exists Within The Holy Bible (1 st Example: Isaiah 30:8-15) One night Ellen White had the following vision. She describes the mechanism for decoding, identifies Isaiah 30 as the area in the Bible as where this special hidden information is, and emphasizes the divinity and importance of the information and / or instructions that she relayed from God.

33 Class_3-Bible_Code_Basics_Rev-E.ppt©1995-2011; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 3-33 “These words were given me from Isaiah 30: ‘Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits.’ [Isaiah 30:8-15 quoted.]... I was instructed that light had been given me and that I had written under special light the Lord had imparted.”-Ms. 126, Diary, August 23, 27, 1906 / White Estate Washington, D. C.

Among these prophecies was that of Habakkuk 2:1-4...”- The Great Controversy, page 392. This message was given to the people immediately following the great disappointment of 1844. It seems to indicate that information already exists in the prophetic writings of Habakkuk that contains "interwoven" hidden information for the people of the last days to discover. Ellen G.

39 Class_3-Bible_Code_Basics_Rev-E.ppt©1995-2011; David Douglas Bell, All rights reserved Page 3-39 “As early as 1842 the direction given in this prophecy to ‘write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it,’ had suggested to Charles Fitch the preparation of a prophetic chart to illustrate the visions of Daniel and the Revelation. The publication of this chart was regarded as a fulfillment of the command given by Habakkuk. No one, however, then noticed than an apparent delay in the accomplishment of the vision--a tarrying time--is presented in the same prophecy. After the disappointment, this scripture appeared very significant: ‘The vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.... The just shall live by his faith.’ [emphasis added]”- The Great Controversy, page 392. Ellen G.

White Reveals That Encoded Information Exists Within The Holy Bible (3 rd Example: The Hidden Book) Background: “At another time at a meeting held at brother Curtis’ in Topsham, Maine, she was taken off in vision, and arose to her feet, took the large family Bible from the table, and held it on her hand some time at an angle of forty-five degrees, and said the HIDDEN BOOK was not there.” [emphasis added] “All, all who keep the commandments of God, will enter in through the gates into the city and have right to the tree of life and ever be in the presence of that lovely Jesus whose countenance shines brighter than the sun at noon day. I then saw the word of God pure and unadulterated, and that we must answer for the way we received the truth proclaimed from that word. I saw that it had been a hammer to break the flinty heart in pieces, and a fire to consume the dross and tin, that the heart might be pure and holy. I saw that the Apocrypha [from Greek apokryptein to hide away] was the HIDDEN BOOK, and that the wise of these last days should understand it. I saw that the Bible was the standard book, that will judge us at the last day. I saw that heaven would be cheap enough, and that nothing was too dear to sacrifice for Jesus, and that we must give all to enter the kingdom.”- Manuscript 4, 1850, (A copy of E. G. White's Vision which she had at Oswego, N.Y.)

Ellen G. White Reveals That Encoded Information Exists Within The Holy Bible (3 rd Example: The Hidden Book) Cont. NOTE : Ellen is simply saying that the hidden book IS there when the Bible is looked at from one perspective and IS NOT there when the text of the Bible is looked at from another (the traditional) perspective as evidenced when she held the Bible at a 45° angle. Looking at the Bible from an Equidistant Letter Sequence (ELS) perspective, IS the correct perspective / angle to which Ellen is referring that allows the “wise of these last days” to read and understand the hidden book. Below is a photograph of the actual Bible that she held at arms length for over 30 minutes. On top of it is a regular sized Bible. Source: http://www.seventh-day.org/testsofproph.htm
