Subject:                        Dead Sea Scrolls confirm the Advent Movement

 

Seems like the enemies of Adventism attack Ellen White in order to try and destroy the foundation of the Advent Movement which is the Sanctuary Final Atonement but history has a way of confirming truth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melchizedek

Dead Sea Scroll 11Q1311Q13 (11QMelch) is a fragment (that can be dated to the end of the 2nd or start of the 1st century BC) of a text about Melchizedek found in Cave 11 at Qumran in the Israeli Dead Sea area and which comprises part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. In this eschatological text, Melchizedek is seen as a divine being and Hebrew titles as Elohim are applied to him. According to this text Melchizedek will proclaim the "Day of Atonement" and he will atone for the people who are predestined to him. He also will judge the peoples.[31]

Notice that the proclamation of the Day of Atonement is found in Revelation 14:6,7

This last part of the Dead Sea Scroll statement

He also will judge the peoples.[31]

The above statement relates to the Judgment Hour prior to Yeshua's second coming and is also related to Peter's statement that Judgment begins with the house of God and not the ridiculous Evangelical Theology which places the judgement of those who are saved at the Great White Throne. The judgement which is mentioned in the scriptures is the purification of the saints and not the putting of their salvation in doubt which is the reason why many SDA are confused by believing that this Judgement is the same as an investigative Judgment. Investigative judgements are only for fallen corporate entities such as Laodicea and not for the true people of God.

See John 5:

[24] Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
