Welcome to another podcast episode of “What’s an Adventist?”
The word “remnant” first appears in Revelation 12:17 and refers to a group of believers who “keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Following the Great Disappointment of 1844, a small group of Advent believers, through dedicated Bible study, discovered that the Ten Commandments were not done away with but played an important part in identifying God’s people. Besides discovering the importance of the Ten Commandments, they also witnessed God’s gift of the spirit of prophecy (the testimony of Jesus Christ) through the life and ministry of Ellen G. White. As they studied the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, they came to identify themselves with the “remnant” of Revelation 12:17. This group eventually organized into what is today the Seventh-day Adventist church.
Today, the Seventh-day Adventist Church is the only Christian church that teaches all the commandments, including the observance of the seventh day Sabbath, and believes that God has continued to grant His people the spirit of prophecy to become powerful witnesses for Christ. However, there are those who would like to see this identity done away with (click on title to listen).
This week Jesse Sias and Abraham Miranda talk about the significance of the “remnant” within Adventism and discuss how this identity is slowly being done away with.
