Sabbath Delight
Isaiah 8
1 Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man’s pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.
2 And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
3 And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
4 For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
5 The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,
6 Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
11 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
12 Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
16 Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
18 Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
22 And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
Promises for the Last Days (PUD) Chapter 28 “Promises for the Sinners”
“It is only he who knows himself to be a sinner that Christ can save.” {COL 158.2; PVGM.122.3} PUD 120.1
…”It was sinners that Christ came to save… He is wooing by His tender love the hearts of His erring children. No earthly parent could be as patient with the faults and mistakes of his children, as is God with those He seeks to save. No one could plead more tenderly with the transgressor. No human lips ever poured out more tender entreaties to the wanderer than does He. All His promises, His warnings, are but the breathing of unutterable love.” {SC 35.3; CC.35.3} PUD 120.2
…”None are so low, so corrupt and vile, that they cannot find in Jesus, who died for them, strength, purity, and righteousness, if they will put away their sins, cease their course of iniquity, and turn with full purpose of heart to the living God.”… {2T 453.2; 2TI.403.2} PUD 120.3
… “Jesus loves to have us come to Him just as we are, sinful, helpless, dependent. We may come with all our weakness, our folly, our sinfulness, and fall at His feet in penitence. It is His glory to encircle us in the arms of His love and to bind up our wounds, to cleanse us from all impurity.” {SC 52.2; CC.52.2} PUD 121.1
“If you give yourself to Him, and accept Him as your Saviour, then, sinful as your life may have been, for His sake you are accounted righteous. Christ’s character stands in place of your character, and you are accepted before God just as if you had not sinned.” {SC 62.2; CC.62.2} PUD 121.2
“How careful is the Lord Jesus to give no occasion for a soul to despair! How He fences about the soul from Satan’s fierce attacks! If through manifold temptations we are surprised or deceived into sin, He does not turn from us and leave us to perish. No, no, that is not our Saviour…. His atoning sacrifice we may plead for our pardon, our justification, and our sanctification. The Lamb slain is our only hope. Our faith looks up to Him, grasps Him as the One who can save to the uttermost, and the fragrance of the all-sufficient offering is accepted of the Father!” {OHC 49.2; NEV.51.2} PUD 121.3
“We are to have free access to the atoning blood of Christ. This we must regard as the most precious privilege, the greatest blessing, ever granted to sinful man.”… {SD 224.6; HHD.226.4} PUD 121.4
“If he who daily communes with God errs in the way, if for a moment he ceases to look resolutely to Jesus, it is not because he sins premeditatedly, for when he sees his error, he takes up again and fixes his eyes on Christ, and the fact that he has erred does not make him less dear to the heart of God” {FLB 118} PUD122.1
…”We shall often have to bow down and weep at the feet of Jesus because of our shortcomings and mistakes, but we are not to be discouraged. Even if we are overcome by the enemy, we are not cast off, not forsaken and rejected of God. No; Christ is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”… {SC 64.1; CC.64.1} PUD 122.2
…”The Lord does not require us to do some grievous thing in order that we may have the forgiveness of sin. We need not make long and wearisome pilgrimages or perform painful penances, to commend our souls to the God of heaven or to expiate our transgression; but he that confesseth and forsaketh his sin shall have mercy. This is a precious promise, given to fallen man to encourage him to trust in the God of love and to seek for eternal life in His kingdom.” {5T 635.2; 5TI.597.4} PUD 122.3
… “The fallen must be led to feel that it is not too late for them to be men. Christ honored man with His confidence and thus placed him on his honor. Even those who had fallen the lowest He treated with respect. It was a continual pain to Christ to be brought into contact with enmity, depravity, and impurity; but never did He utter one expression to show that His sensibilities were shocked or His refined tastes offended. Whatever the evil habits, the strong prejudices, or the overbearing passions of human beings, He met them all with pitying tenderness.”… {MH 165.1; MC.122.3} PUD122.4
“Satan may whisper, ‘You are too great a sinner for Christ to save.” While you acknowledge that you are indeed sinful and unworthy, you may meet the tempter with the cry, “By virtue of the atonement, I claim Christ as my Saviour. I trust not to my own merits, but to the precious blood of Jesus, which cleanses me.’” {SD 224.3; HHD.226.3} PUD 123.1
… “Christ takes the sinner from the lowest degradation, and purifies, refines, and ennobles him. By beholding Jesus as He is, the sinner is transformed and elevated to the very summit of dignity, even to a seat with Christ upon his throne.”… {OFC 122.3; DNC.137.4} PUD 123.2
Testimony: 12-14-2018
Beloved, December 14, 2018. In dreams, I saw how I was going down a street with a young man, a male adult, and a girl holding hand; On that road we started by car, then the road was so narrow that we had to continue on foot. We were told to advance along the dangerous path, and while we were hurrying I saw a three-story building, and on its balconies and doors people show themselves that others admired because they had died and now they were there moving and talking to the crowd that stood there in amazement to watch; I tried to put on alert to that crowd, but they were as hypnotized to see in life beings that had already died. It was a moment of subtle emotion, to see again their beings already dead, supposedly alive, and it made their hearts leap with emotion. {Daisy Escalante: 12-14-2018 , en.p1}
At that moment, I ran towards them without stopping to analyze the consequences, and they with subtle deception spoke words of union and peace through the common good. I tried to exhort them, because those wonders that they were listening, had them as hypnotized, it was a great deception! there was nothing that made them give up listening and accepting what these demons clothed in their relatives said! So I said: “oh Lord! What spell is this?” And I was told: “these always believed flattering and subtle words. Their life was emotionalism and not rationalism. They didn’t stop and think cause and effect, and today they are prey of this subtle deception. Their feet always firm in the sand because the rock for them was very painful, convenience was put in the place of consistency, and they accustomed to call the bad good and the good bad, that is why spiritualism entered their lives and they extended their hand.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-14-2018 , en.p2}
At that moment, beloved, there I woke up, I woke up with such a great pain in my heart! such a deep pain in my being because, beloved, these are things that for a long time we were already allowed to know that were going to happen, however, when they happen we do not stop to think about cause and effect, but we fall into these things. May God grant that none of us, none of us who pay attention to the word of God fall into this, we know that the man of sin is working hard right now, we know that the enemy is instigating behind all this, we know that already we have everything ready to give way to all these things that the Lord is showing. Beloved, let us be attentive! do not fall for this! God grant that each one of us can be freed from these evil spells, and that we only follow the lamb wherever He goes! May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 12-14-2018 , en.p3}
Testimony: 11-07-2019
Beloved, November 7, 2019. In a dream, I was inside a building, and the people were preparing to have a talk or exhortation. While they waited for the person who was going to give the exhortation, they were aware of themselves, that they were well groomed and dressed up; they took out mirrors, they went to the bathroom to continue fixing themselves; I only saw two persons asking for help from others so that everything was ready, but they were all focused on themselves. After this, they went behind the church, in the backyard of it, and there was an activity, I saw how some were preparing to help others, but there were others who took advantage of this activity to do evil, they abused the people of scarce resources that did not have the visible status that they had, I was seeing all this. There was a lot of food there, little animals approached, but they behaved like animals, although they had a full plate, they did not even want to share the crumbs with the animals, and less with the people who they thought were inferior. At that moment I saw this, and began to sound, lightning, thunder and it began to rain, and they began to go away, and when I saw them withdraw my husband and I realized that there were some children that they had left there, these were little brothers , that one person entrusted another there to take care of them, but that person left and left them. {Daisy Escalante: 11-07-2019 , en.p1}
The children were very sad, they had been violated with jokes and teasing because they were children who had simple clothes, at that moment I saw that one of them had lost his coat because they took it off and he was getting wet. We went to them to pick them up and put them on the vehicle we were riding in, and at that moment when we wanted to mount them in the car, they did not want because they were very sorry for the animals that were there, which had also been abused during the activity; So not knowing what to do with the animals, we also grabbed them, we mounted them together with the children in the car and we advanced to take them to their place. {Daisy Escalante: 11-07-2019 , en.p2}
At that time we were on our way to take them to their homes and we passed through an urbanization of the city, and there was a very big riot, we saw many people with sticks and other objects, and they were going after people who were quietly walking the streets, so we advanced to get out of that bustle, and while the cars passed, the angry people hit the cars including our car; We were among those violent people and you could see that they were out of their minds, we passed that place and went in the direction of where the children had to be left, when we asked the children to tell us the address of their house to take them there, the older one began to give us instructions, and so we gradually approached the place of their destination where their parents were waiting for them. At one point the big boy said: “we are here.” We stopped, we looked, we did not see a house, we only saw a forest with something half open in the middle of it. I said: “how is it that you reached?” I thought: “the house will be behind the trees and we will have to walk on foot.” But they reaffirmed that they had arrived, they told us to leave them there, we did not want to leave them alone. I told them: “if you have to walk through the forest we will accompany you.” We got out of the car and began to walk with them, we went to the open place, and we arrived at the place where there were leafy trees, the children were in front of us, and we were carrying their packages; When entering a few steps inside the leafy trees, these children were transformed into extremely large angels! they were beautiful! a radiant light emanated from them, it was beautiful to see them! they turned around, they looked at us, we could see that they were in front of us but their faces shone so much that we couldn’t see the expressions on their faces, but in their gestures and how they moved their heads, I felt that they were grateful, at that moment they rose towards the sky and we lost sight of them. {Daisy Escalante: 11-07-2019 , en.p3}
We were astonished at that event, we then went back to the car with our mind on what had happened, and almost reaching the car we realized that the violence we had seen in the city had reached this street where we had left the car, so we stayed behind the trees to take refuge, we did not know what to do, because there were many violent people! At that time I was told some texts: “Ezekiel 2 and Zechariah 4.” {Daisy Escalante: 11-07-2019 , en.p4}
May God grant that each one of us can realize that only, surrendering ourselves to the life that God wants from each one of us, is the safe way. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 11-07-2019 , en.p5}
Ezekiel 2
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
2 And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
4 For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Zechariah 4
1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
Testimony: 12-21-2019 #02
December 21, 2019, at 11:05 in the morning, the word of the Lord came to me saying:
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice, I will come in to him, I will dine with him and he with Me; behold, I am bringing the great roar from the north, and everyone will know that the vision will not delay, but for the love of many I stopped it, but now there will be no one to stop what is to come, because even for this there is a deadline.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-21-2019 #02, en.p1}
“The rebellious people hated My sayings, because I prolonged My mercies out of love for them, and they filled their mouths saying: ‘My Lord is slow to come;’ behold, their feet will stumble, and their loins will fail when they see that the right plumb line only I put it where I wish, to whom I want I give it.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-21-2019 #02, en.p2}
“Foolish, slow to learn, and stubborn in their own opinion! Did any of you call your own being into existence and lengthen your days?”
“Boastful and contemptuous of the true, and lovers of evil! will you have no part in My kingdom? As I live that no mocker will live in My kingdom of peace, justice, love and truth; These will only be stubble, and their wickedness will no longer rise to My memory.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-21-2019 #02, en.p3}
“Seek me while I can be found, and as long as I am near, because even for this there is a deadline; soon the pain and anguish will pass, and my loved ones will enjoy such great peace that My soul is moved to announce such happiness to you! the entire universe awaits this final outcome, where bliss and happiness will reign forever.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-21-2019 #02, en.p4}
“But now, My children, do not sleep, watch and pray to the Father not to let you fall into temptation; meditate on My word, memorize the psalms because in their words you will find comfort and peace; learn from Proverbs, wisdom and advice; let your heart delight in the Pentateuch and know My justice in it; observe My judgments and My purposes in the kings, patriarchs and prophets; and know My love in Songs of Songs but see My love revealed to humanity in the new dispensation of Matthew to Revelation. I have revealed My Father and the Holy Spirit in continuous action among you.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-21-2019 #02, en.p5}
“Acknowledge My prophets and do not be rebellious! oh, My beloved little one, arduous is the angelic work in custody for you! appreciate My gifts and you will live! do not lack the joy of these things in your thoughts, and your words seasoned with these words, because very soon My kingdom will be among you for eternity, and there will be no more memory of the past.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-21-2019 #02, en.p6}
“I say to you again: ‘rejoice because your redemption is near!’ learn to be happy, living one minute at a time with Me, taste and see how good it is to be in My presence! invoke Me and I will be with you, and I will teach you new things that you do not know. Knock and it will be opened to you, because the kingdom of Heaven is for the poor in spirit, by this you will know that I am God and I do not change,’ ‘and behold, I will be with you every day until the end of the world,’ Philippians 4: 4-9.” Faithful and true words of the Lord for each one of you. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 12-21-2019 #02, en.p7}
Philippians 4:4-9
4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Testimony: 06-06-2020 #02
June 6, 2020, 11 a.m. While as a family we studied the Sabbath delicacy that the Lord gives to His people every Saturday, to His children on the broad face of the earth, the word of the Lord came to me saying: speak and do not be silent! Lift the norm of your lives, taking away the vain words of your mouth, words of which others testify that your interior is still corrupted. The frivolity, the sagacity, the number of empty words that cause intrigue and anxiety. Those who think little and speak a lot. Those who lifting their voice are heard in laughter and shoutings because their custom is to go wherever they go calling attention. Those who cannot be discreet and divulge their lives to others and also those of their neighbors. Those who walk dancing because the enemy directs their steps. Those who excuse their delay with not knowing or not being able, leaning on the vitality of others. Those who want to know the most meticulous detail to be able to control their surroundings. Those who live their lives relaxed, but who are oppressors of their neighbor. Those who are not afraid to divulge sin with their mouth, and pray for the welfare of the one who is knowingly openly in sin and does not wish to change his course of life. Those who search for the mote of the neighbor without removing the beam that plunges them into mortal sin. Those who advise the sinner so that it goes well in their sin. Those who attribute to God the words of Beelzebub, that to look like angels of light, speak of reconciliation and peace. {Daisy Escalante: 06-06-2020 #02, en.p1}
“Didn’t I declare it before to you that when they say peace and security there will come sudden destruction? By their own inclination to the servants of the evil one, they destroy their life and live without observing the zeal of My fury for bowing to other Gods. They compile their life with many vain words, excusing at every step the evil of others, because it is the rule in their own lives. They live in constant mockery in their lives towards Me, and towards the great Norm of Perfection. And they cry and moan and clamor to others their sadness without them seeing that they themselves pilot the plane of their life, to their own destruction! They know and knew, and play, love and ingratiate themselves with evil, and they believe that it will not have deadly consequences in their lives!” {Daisy Escalante: 06-06-2020 #02, en.p2}
After this, beloved, I was told: Ephesians 5:17. Faithful and true words of the Lord for each one of you. May the Lord guide us and bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 06-06-2020 #02, en.p3}
Ephesians 5:17
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Testimony: 04-15-2021
April 15, 2021. In a dream I was in a church, a place of worship. There accordingly everything was ready to begin the worship service. Everyone was getting ready for this when suddenly an unforeseen event arose, no one had the hymnal and everyone refused to sing without it; I exhorted them to sing without it, but their minds were blocked and they all refused to sing if they did not have it in hand. {Daisy Escalante: 04-15-2021 , en.p1}
The scene changed, I was in a place where we had to move quickly to make arrangements to move off shore. I and another person, who were there urging the others, grabbed a bundle on our backs and began to urge others; but all were delaying as if there were other opportunities for getting out; there an influential man took possession of the boats, where they all decided to get on board to leave; but these, when this man took possession of the boat, in view of all with flattery assured them to take them to a safe harbor. I saw them start the boat and he directed it to a huge whirlpool that was in front of them; and the boat and all those who were there went to the depths of the sea, there I saw no more, it was terrible to see that scene beloved brothers! {Daisy Escalante: 04-15-2021 , en.p2}
Oh! God grant that we may realize the course of life that we are taking! But, by ourselves we are blind, only by going to the feet of Jesus Christ with a humble and contrite heart is that He can show us the real path that we are taking. Soon we are going to be deprived of many things, among them the written word of God, in books as we have it; the hymnal, the books of the spirit of prophecy, the testimonies, but all this must be internalized in the life of each one of us, and it is not at that moment that we are going to do it, but we must be doing it already. May God grant that it be so and may we advance by faith in Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless {Daisy Escalante: 04-15-2021 , en.p3}
