OCT-NOV-DEC
Quarterly Lesson Study Guide “The Book of James”
As we enter into the sanctuary,
remember we are entering into the presence of God.
Let us REVERENCE HIM
as we WORSHIP together in LOVE and in TRUTH.
foundational Who, or what, is the Antichrist?
Evil alliance, or sinister
individual? Some say his
appearance is still in the future.
Others say he appeared long ago
in the days of ancient Rome. But the Bible
indicates that he is alive today! The Bible
prophecies teach this antichrist power will
play a crucial role in the final events of earth's
history. Do you know who he is? Are you
sure? You need to be, for you can't understand
last-day events until you understand this evil
power. Be prepared for one of the most intri-
guing Study Guides yet!
1. As the chapter begins, Daniel sees four
beasts coming up out of the sea. In prophe-
cy, what does a beast represent? What does
the sea represent?
"The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom
upon the earth." Daniel 7:23. "The waters ...
are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and
tongues." Revelation 17:15.
Answer: Beasts represent kingdoms or na-
tions. Water represents multitudes of people or
large populations.
2. The four beasts of Daniel 7 represent the
four world kingdoms (verses 17, 18).
Babylon, the first kingdom (Daniel 2:38,
39), is represented as a lion in Daniel 7:4.
(See also Jeremiah 4:7 50:17, 43, 44 for
Babylon pictured as a lion elsewhere.) What
do the "eagle's wings" mean? What do the
"four winds" of verse 2 represent?
"The Lord shall bring a nation against
thee ... as swift as the eagle flieth."
Deuteronomy 28:49.
"Thus saith the Lord of hosts, ... a great whirl-
wind shall be raised up from the coasts of the
earth. And the slain of the Lord shall be at that
day from one end of the earth even unto the
other end of the earth." Jeremiah 25:32, 33.
Answer: The wings of eagles represent
speed. (See also Jeremiah 4:13; Habakkuk
1:6-9.) Winds represent strife, commotion, and
destruction. (See also Revelation 7:1-3.)
3. What kingdom does the bear represent
(Daniel 7:5)? What do the three ribs in its
mouth symbolize?
Answer: Read Daniel 8. Notice that the
beasts in chapter 8 parallel those in chapter
7. Daniel 8:20 specifically names Medo-Persia
as the kingdom that precedes the rough goat,
or Greece, of verse 21. It is the second world
kingdom, the same power as the bear of
Daniel 7. The empire was made up of two
groups of people.

Lesson #15
To transform the life of every
individual within our community
and to prepare them for the soon
coming of Jesus Christ.
Vision
To enlarge our current structure,
making it the center for ministries,
where all men, women and children
can come to hear the Word of God,
experience the power and love of
Jesus Christ, and be trained to
evangelize and transform lives for
the Kingdom of God.
Mission
Hold Fast
Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Rev. 3:11
Decisions may be made in a moment that fix one's condition forever. . . .
But remember, it would take the work of a lifetime to recover what a
moment of yielding to temptation and thoughtlessness throws away. . . .
By a momentary act of will you may place yourself in the power of
Satan, but it will require more than a momentary act of will to break his
fetters and reach for a higher, holier life. The purpose may be formed, the
work begun, but its accomplishment will require toil, time, and
perseverance,
patience, and sacrifice. The man who deliberately wanders from God in the
full blaze of light will find, when he wishes to set his face to return, that
briars and thorns have grown up in his path, and he must not be surprised or
discouraged if he is compelled to travel long with torn and bleeding feet.
The most fearful and most to be dreaded evidence of man's fall from a better
state is the fact that it costs so much to get back. The way of return can be
gained only by hard fighting, inch by inch, every hour. . . .
Those who win heaven will put forth their noblest efforts and will labor with
all long-suffering, that they may reap the fruit of toil. There is a hand that
will open wide the gates of Paradise to those who have stood the test of
temptation and kept a good conscience by giving up the world, its honors, its
applause, for the love of Christ, thus confessing Him before men and waiting
with all patience for Him to confess them before His Father and the holy
angels.
Keep the conscience tender, that you may hear the faintest whisper of the
voice that spake as never man spake. From My Life Today - Page 327
11:00 AM Sabbath Worship Service “REMEMBER THE SABBATH”
Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.
Honor the day that our Lord commands us to cease our
toiling and we obey.
That we may know Him and learn His patient ways.
Keeping the Sabbath holy, in all our days.
So enter His temple with high thanksgiving.
Worship the Lord and fill up this house with
your voices ringing.
Let them be heard.
For we adore Him and lift our hearts in praise.
Keeping the Sabbath holy, in all our days.

REVELATION 14:6-7
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the
everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell upon the earth,
and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue and people, saying
with a loud voice, fear God and give glory to Him: for the hour of His judgment is come; and worship Him that made heaven, and
earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
PSALM 95:6-7 O come let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the
Lord our Maker. For He is our God: and we are the people of His
pasture, and the sheep of His hand.
Food for thought:
“Faith is putting all your eggs in God’s basket,
then counting your blessings before they hatch.”

In the Master's Service
"He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much." Luke 16:10.
Take these steps for your home
Many people prefer to remain indoors in the
winter, but staying inside is no guarantee of
safety. Take these steps to keep your home safe
and warm during the winter months.
Winterize your home.
Install weather stripping, insulation, and
storm windows.
Insulate water lines that run along exterior
walls.
Clean out gutters and repair roof leaks.
Check your heating systems.
Have your heating system serviced
professionally to make sure that it is clean,
working properly and ventilated to the outside.
Inspect and clean fireplaces and chimneys.
Install a smoke detector.
Test batteries monthly.
Have a safe alternate heating source and
alternate fuels available.
Prevent carbon monoxide (CO) emergencies.
Install a CO detector to alert you of the presence
of the deadly, odorless, colorless gas.
Check batteries regularly.
Learn symptoms of CO poisoning:
headaches, nausea, and disorientation.
of Healthy Living
Art Although winter comes
as no surprise, many of
us are not ready for its
arrival. If you are
prepared for the hazards
of winter, you will be
more likely to stay safe
and healthy when
temperatures start to fall.
(Continued next Sabbath)
Sermon Notes
II Timothy 2:15 admonishes, “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
