Spiritual Journey-diary-saga

April, 30 2022 I wish to continue unedited saga of my spiritual journey or diary in this blog: The Reasons for our life here, beyond animal life Feb 15, 2022 When God created Adam, and breathed his nostril, it says, man became a living soul- or living being. He was mean to live not to die. When sin came, man was born to die- starting from birth till death, and most of the time even untimely. But God said, Man is to become a living soul. He is a living soul as long as he has a breath from the Lord. Disciples thought they were dead, a living dead, but when Jesus breathed the Holy Spirit, He Breathed and said, Receive you the Holy Spirit 1 Joh 5:12 he that has Son has life, he that has no son has no life. It is not just temporary life but eternal life too. With Jesus and Holy Spirit and His breathe in us, we are to live, never thought of death. The disciples were energized even ready to die whether by sword-James, or cross-Peter, and when Jesus came into Paul, he was willing to suffer beyond perhaps any man besides Jesus. Even energized to die, he was beheaded by Nero. When Jesus comes in us, we are energized both to live and die. God has purpose to bring human being in this earth, just like in Nepal a father has a purpose to have a son-to carry on with the property and name the father has. So do God- He has a purpose to create us to take care of the property, the earth and to carry His name in us by reflecting His face on us Ps 119:135. Though sin has distorted the both, yet as God was patience with children’s of Israelites in wilderness for 40 years, He has been patience with us, till His patience will run out. Rev 14:6-12. Besides taking care of garden and honor His name or glorify His name, I would like to explore other reasons to live. When I was a teen age, I saw no reason to live, so my friend and I planned suicide. He hung in the ceiling and died, and I lived on because I many not have a plan to live, God has a plan for me to live. The disciples worked, travelled, suffered and were murdered, what kept them in that state? 1 John 4:2. John says we are the sons of God, (Jesus claimed Himself to be the Son of God), we may not look like God’s sons now, neither did Jesus looked like God’s Son because of His Human nature that lived to serve than be served. The world wants human beings who show the power to be worshipped or people stoop before them, honor them fear them, even like Alexander who is called great because he killed and conquered. Jesus came in humble as the majority of world live in humble life and He wanted to identify Himself with the humble or poor (Lk 4). So if we are sons of God, we too need to be identified ourselves with humble people who do not seek own honor but honor of God and other. John said “we know that” he lived with Jesus for 3 years and learned from Him His plan for all of us-to be like Him. It took them 3 years for them to know what it means to be like Jesus, Paul stilled wanted to know what it means to be like Him, and it took Enoch 300 years to know what it means to be like God to have His image or the image before sin came to Adam. Here John was not talking about the heaven or what heaven like and wanting to go to heaven but wanted to be like Him. We shall be like Him as He is. John plus had high concentration and put their eyes on Jesus, to be like Him as He is- He is whether in human form or divine form. To be like Him means to merge in Him John 17:23, 26. What was in Him that triggered the disciples to die to be like Him? And what we know now Who Jesus is no more than a baby knows about its mother. We hold on to the breast of mother, drink her milk and look to her face. When a baby drinks mother’s milk it eyes are also fixed on mother. That is the stage we are in now, matter what we claim either Christians, Adventists or what nots. If we don’t know Him now, what is the guarantee that we will know Him later? Yes, Philippians 3:10 our purpose for living is to know Him. 1. To live a holy life as Jesus lived Heb 10:10 2. Every life or breath we breathe we are indebted to Jesus says Sister White in Education p 105. When Jesus taught us, “Forgive our debt as we forgive those who indebted to us” has a wider implication. If we don’t live or breathe according to the will of God or even thanking Him, then we are indebted to Him. We are indebted to every breath and life, so we need to thank Him. Not thanking Him and not realizing His love, guidance, neglecting the care or respect of our body and others, we are indebted, and how many times a day we neglect, so we should ask God to forgive for the debt of life we owe to Him. When we forgive other who wrong us, don’t treat us as we want, mean to us, then God will forgive our indebtness to Him. April 29, 2022 3. John 1:9 the true Light is Jesus who lit everyone who comes in the world. Adam was in darkness till God breathed him. Everyone who is born comes from the dark world of mother’s womb. God breathe him at the moment of conception but when he comes out and sees the physical light which the Lord created in the beginning also needs spiritual, and mental light, that is from Jesus. Man is survived by breath of life and he survive his intangible life-mental, spiritual, emotional life through the light given by Jesus. He is the Light and He gives the light for us to live. Just as a man has right to turn on the light, or live in light place or dark place so his mental and spiritual life-be dwarfed or grow, the choice we have April 28, 2022 4. Subjective and objective life: God used even evil spirit to fulfill His purpose. When the Jews whose business was to cast out devils told a possed man “in the name of Jesus and Paul, you get out.’ The devil possessed man said, “I know Jesus I know Paul, who are you?” so he attacked the faith healers. As a result, people burnt all the books on magic that cost millions of rupees, and we have the book of Ephesians. Many turned to Jesus. Who others are is subjective application. Tree is known by fruits and we all are trees. Where people are planted that is beyond our control but we make sure we are planted by the shore of the river-the Bible, to keep ourselves green Ps 1. Anything, worry people etc that occupy our minds become our gods. If we believe in heavenly Father, we would not have any other gods. Our life has subjective applications of whatever we read and effect we get, this is the way by which we live. “What that has to do with me?” is a question by which we live. 5. Adam was the son of God says the Bible, but when He came to talk to Him, fellowship with him, to teach him, to greet him he and Eve were hiding. This is the sad commentary on human beings. They like to hide from the Lord. He created Adam and Eve at the expense of one third of angels and brilliant Lucifer, yet when He came to Adam , His glory was denied. When Jesus came, His own brothers and sisters went from Him, He had to say, I have no place to rest my mind. Every member of my family hide from me too when I want to talk to them about God. If God had that disappointment who am I to have a better status than Him? David was lonely and lived by his entwined relationship with the Lord. So is our fate on this earth. Dare to be alone, alone with God. People forsake Jesus, but not God. April 24, 2022. 6. Dan 12 the righteous shine like stars. Yes, some shine brighter than other, some are closer than other. If we are righteous according to God’s eyes, we too shine brighter or distance star that glimmers or fade. 7. 2 Cor 3: 18 we behold Him through the glass. We see His glory, we change into His glory gradually by the Spirit of the Lord. It is to be the goal of our life,, to change into the same image. Jesus came to restore that image that was lost in Adam. It is not shapeless or airy image but true, true to life. We should live not in mystery but reality, as Jesus was the Reality. The scripture is our glass to see His glory, our experience is the glass to see how His glory is enacting in us, people out there are glory of God seeing how God sustain them, the nature is God’s glory from which the power is revealed, the literature of various kinds and religion are His glory through which we see His wisdom manifested, our thinking,attitude motivations are His glory when we do according to the shape He formed us and receptive to the shape of our mind according to His will. Our work is the glory of the Lord, which He wants us to labor for 6 days so that we can enjoy the rest. Every child or a baby is God’s glory from whom we learn the lesson what Jesus meant in Mat 11;25. As we live every day experience His leading, His sustenance, even giving breath to breathe is His glory. I am sick and invalid in own way yet He is keeping me alive so that I can keep His word or law as the Psalmist says in Ps 119. A dead man, a dead Christian, can not keep the law and so can’t glorify God. Every moment when we are alive to keep up the relationship with the Lord, we are experiencing His glory. The Holy Spirit speaks to us in our move. Jesus said, “I am with you till the end of the earth, world” The song says, I serve the risen Savior, because He lives within my hear. What for? So that we can change from glory to glory to sit with Him one day as Ephesians say. "Goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience, and love are the attributes of Christ’s character. If you have the spirit of Christ,your character will be molded after His character.That I may know Him 195. In the story Glory denied, the longest held prisoner of war in Vietnam, Jim Thompson is a sad history. He was captured by Vietcongs in 1964, tortured and released in 1973. He kept himself alive because of the family, one day he would see his beloved wife but he found she married with another man thinking he was dead. Then Jim went down in his life, became alcoholic and was paralyzed and died at the age of 69. The US gov gave his several rewards, he was proud of America and his life was kept alive because of military. Having lost his wife’s love, Ruth, he lived a shattered life, he may have got glory from the country, but he lost his own glory, the devil within him was more powerful than the Vietcongs. Yes, in our life, our family may deny, Jesus was glory denied while on earth, but was restored at His resurrection so will be ours, we seek not glory from world even family but like Patriarch, we seek the glory restored. This world our glory is when saints walk in His glory is our glory and joy Philippians 4:1. Paul did not get any honor, medal, he died as a glory denied, but he lived for those who believed in Jesus and lived accordingly. Yes, here I spending the remain of my life for the Lord and honor of His saints, as I told to Dr. Wilson and Pr. Ezra yesterday, there is nothing that make me feel honored and happy and glory than the SDA’s are walking in the light they have received. David Tamsang told me on April 17, 2022 Sunday while visiting, “You are not a mission worker but doing more work than the most of us do, we are studying the SS lesson you translate.” That was my glory. April 23, 2022 1. The true form of Christianity is not going to church, take baptism, take part in ceremonies, doing this or that, even keeping the law or formal prayer or doing action, it should be rooted in Jesus Christ. If one’s life is not rooted in Jesus, His word is not grounded in the mind and result of it shown through his Chrt in action, it becomes merely a religion, that even killed millions of Christians even by Christians as the Fox’s book of martyr’s depict. Religion without Christ can make a person proud, domineering, holier than thou, but with Christ he would know none of these but learn to live a golden stage of life-a baby Mt 11:25+. Christian without Christ made Paul weep, Gal 4:19, or being a Jew Israelites without God made not only Him cry but David. Jerm 9. Ps 119:136. April 21, 2022 2. Lk 22:28 this earth is Jesus’ kingdom which God gave to Him and satan captured it but He will get it back. Then He said He would give the kingdom to His disciples as God gave Him. So, each disciple or each believer will have own kingdom or planet while this earthwill be the capital in which Jesus rules. April 21, 2022 3. In the parable of sower who showed the seeds in four kinds of ground, and He said we are the ground. The ground that is fertile and soft and ready to sow is a good ground. Rocky, wayside, thorny do not produce fruits. Another dimension of this parable is depend on what other sows in our life, we should be thorny, rocky, wayside and good ground because not all the words and treatment is to take as a good ground. What other sows in us should not make us difference unless it is good. It is we what we saw should make us difference, not what other sow. Potifer’s wife wanted to plant her seed in Joseph, he became wayside, rocky that caused to be thorny for her resulting him landing in the prison. To him what other sowed in him, including by his brothers did not make difference, because his life with father prepared him to be a good ground only to take good seeds and grow. April 21, 2022. We are to be ground depend on what seeds we receive. 4. Why tree of good and evil? Because taste good first then results evil. Every sin, passion, enticement is tasty at first, then evil. By putting the tree of life and tree of good and evil, God is giving everyone the freedom to live or die. Chose God, the Tree of life and live or choose the power of darkness and be a living dead (Ephesian message). The world choose death rather than the church-cigarette, alcohol, drug, wrong style of living God is letting people live by their choice. Choose Jesus and live is God’s call Eph 5:14. 5. On independent churches or various denominations: Jesus had 70 disciples and except 12-1 all left. Perhaps they started own independent ministry. Disciples came to Jesus saying me met a man who was casting out the devil in Jesus’ name and they forbade. Then Jesus said not to because he who is not against them is for Him. They may be against the disciples or that group but they were not against Jesus Himself. 7 sons of Sceva the Jews who cast out devil was attacked by the devil possess man because they really did not believe in Jesus but tried to use Him for the money, but in the case of the one whom the disciples forbade, the devil possessed man did not do anything. So, in principle and teaching and even Jesus’ wish list it all “may be one as Jesus and Father are One.” John 17, but in reality not happening. Therefore, not use of getting tension about other Christians. However, when Jesus prayed, He prayed for those 12-1, not for other Christians. He prayed for them that God would protect them from evil that would lead them to give up the faith. Jesus has a church dear to His heart, says EGW, and it was SDA church she was referring, that came out of disappointment, and she says there should be no independent group here and there, but as Ephesians says one body of Christ. That could be just remnant, still Jesus loves them. He is not after the crowd but singles of heart as the woman bled for 12 years clung to Jesus, that He counted. 6. How can babies praise God? Ps 8:2. Jesus said about His disciples they were babies. Mt 11:25. So it is the followers of Jesus when they come to the stage of being babies, they praise God. Babies are the poor in spirit, and nothing to boast about knowledge. The entire universe is concentrated on mother’s face. So should we. What do we know about the Bible, universe or earth? Not until scientists can duplicate a blade of grass, they have nothing to boast about said Isaac Newton. Until the scientist can produce the milk like mother’s, nothing to boast about. They can destroy with invention of nuclear weapons, but they cannot create even an atom. 7. Rom 14:7 no one lives for himself and dies for himself. What a precious gem of thought. We all are interdependent. Independent is a lie. A mother lives for a child, suffer for a child even die for a child. Jesus came to live for us and die for us. Paul suffers for us. Millions of Christians suffers for us so that the word of the Lord continue to burn and ignite in the heart of a believer. EGW too lived and was willing to suffer for the Adventist truth. We live for greater good than just for the self."If you connect with God, fearing Him, loving Him, obeying Him, and giving to the world a living example of what the Christian’s life should be, you will fulfill your obligation to God and to your fellow men. You are to show forth in your life what it means to love God with all your heart, and your neighbor as yourself. Connected with Fulfilling Life’s Obligations, the God of wisdom and love, you will demonstrate to the world the fact that you are not living for this world, but for that which is not temporal but eternal.33 that I may know Him.186 (April 18, 2022) 8. John 6:64, 65 Jesus knew who will betray Him, and He said unless Father gives to Him no one can come to Him. People may come toward Him but not to Him. This the case of Judas. This the case of crowd Christians, this is the case when people crowded Jesus and only one woman with the issue of blood came to Him. When someone comes to Jesus, he should be at the Father’s approval, without that his coming to Jesus can be selfish. You believe in God, believe also in Me, said Jesus in John 14:1-3. Without first believing in God, His plan of salvation, and understanding His love, when a man comes to Jesus just on own makes the most dangerous Christian. Do I love God and know Him and His desire as found in Deut 5:23, Lev 26, then He says go to Jesus to live the life that he should live. (April 18, 2022). 1. 1 Cor 2:8 Jesus did not have to be crucified but those who did not know Him crucified. Before He died He said, take this body this is broken for you. It was broken from the foundation of the world. Bread was the symbol of His broken life.The Roman Catholic think it is the actual body of Jesus while it was not. In this we SDA differ in the Lord supper, which they call it Euchrist. 2. Ps 86:15 presents five characters of God-compassion, merciful, longsuffering, truth and gracious, the qualities that He wants all to have. 3. Who are we? We are a mass or an object that has no life in front of politicians, we are dust in front of kings and rulers, we are animals in front of superior people even in the name of religion and race as Jews to the Gentile, we can be dog or swine by own choice, But in God’ sight who are we? Eph 1:18 God’s inheritance so no one has right to trample on us, we are God’s temple 1 Cor 6:18,19, we are God’s jewel Mal 3:17, we are God’s beloved Song of Solomon, we are bride of Jesus as the book of Revelations says in 22, we are apple of His eyes, we are God’s anointed at the baptism, we are Jesus’ family-brothers, sisters and mothers, we are His sheep and lambs, we are Jesus’ friends John 15:15, we are God’s fearful and wonderful creation, Ps 139:14-no creation of low significance For facebook post April 14,2022: My future wish: Three people I want to meet in the New Earth (for heaven will be too busy place as we will be working as jury there), Apostle Paul, St. Augustine and Ellen G. White, because they were ever hungry and thirsty of Righteousness or Lord Jesus our Righteousness (1 Cor 1:30, Jerm 23:6) .They never had enough of the science of knowing Jesus, “That I may know Him,” (Philippians 3:10) was their deep seated internal desire, which I find after dwelling in their writings. No doubt I will want to meet more people there regardless of persuasions, and gender. But those three are standing as towers in my brain. Entrusted Capital, March 22 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you.Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. John 12:35. This is the warning we would give to you who claim to believe the truth. “Yet a little while is the light with you.” We would ask you to consider the shortness of human life, how swiftly time is passing. Golden opportunities and privileges are within our reach.The plenteous, abundant mercy of God is waiting your demand upon its richest treasures. The Saviour is waiting to dispense His blessings freely, and the only question is, Will you accept them? The rich provisions have been made, and light is shining in a variety of ways; but this light will lose its preciousness to those who do not appreciate it, who do not accept and respond to it, or, having received it, do not pass the light along to others. Your life, your soul, your strength, your capabilities, your powers of mind and body, are to be regarded by you as entrusted capital to be improved for your Lord during the period of your life. You are to stand in your allotted order in God’s great army, to work out His plan in saving your own soul and the souls of others. This you may do by living a consistent Christian life, by putting forth earnest efforts, by learning in the school of Christ His ways, His purposes,and subordinating your will and way to the will and way of Christ.... The Christian is to live a life distinctly different from that of the worldling. The worldling lives a cheap quality of life. He consents not to spiritual life. It is he who has the love of God that has life; it is he whose hope is centered, not in this world, but in Christ, the great center....“He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” (1 John 5:12). Those who believe in Christ derive their motive power and the texture of their characters from Him in Entrusted Capital,whom they believe. “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;prove your own selves” (2 Corinthians 13:5). That I may know Him, March 22 181 (April 16, 2022) 1. Eph 3:13 Paul says I suffer for your own glory-how can this be? Jesus suffered for our own glory, mother suffers for our glory, everyone who loves Jesus and His children suffer suffers for the glory of God’s children. April 13, 2022. 2. Yes, those who believe in Him will have everlasting life, but not just those who believe Him. Those who believe in Him will experience the kingdom of heaven now, His presence in them, all around them, and walk even as He walked, have His mind-Ephesians describes what it means to have His mind and desire for the believers. But just to believe Him may not mean anything, the evil spirit believe Him, Satan believe Him and so the everyone I meet regardless of religion believes Him, but that do not make them Christians. A Christians is one who reflects Jesus, not themselves, own idea etc. April 13, 2022 3. Gen 8 from childhood man’s intention is evil always. Yes, a child is the place where he or she without knowing do the wrong or evil. The other day Karuna locked the door when I am in the room. She did something to the small laptop that Sujit has to take to Sanepa to fix it, she did something to my mobile that took a long time to open, she is always mischievous without knowing she is the mischievous, it is being planted in her. But Jesus said of His disciples babes in Mt 11:25. That is the stage we should be in our spiritual and mental mind to experience the blessing of beatitude-blessed are the meek. Baby is no capable of knowing evil or doing evil or being mischievous. As a result it is loved by all-it is the golden age of human life, because it lives by clinging to the mother. A child can move around things that are not approved,but a baby can’t do anything that is unapproved. Be innocent about things around, things that happen, people who come and go, just cling on to the milk, the word of God, no one will be lost. Paul said, I know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Yes, he is a leader, pastor, teacher, preacher for the greater good of other,but for himself he was a baby who clings onto the mother or Jesus . There is a difference between a child and a baby, and Jesus appreciates when we are babies-innocent, incapable of being mischief, doing wrong or sin or evil. When we have Jesus in us, we should be incapable of doing evil. As a baby looks to mother during breast feed or other time like a flint, babies face sparkles when they see their mother. It needs two flints to have a sparkled life-us and God. Truly in universe, we are no more than babies. What we know is always less than what we know or things out there. (April 16, 2022). 4. Sun does not need us. God is the Sun, so He does not need us. Just as we need the sun for our health and the health of the earth we need God-a Solar power for our life, the solar power is stored in the Bible, and every time we read we are utilizing that power. Jesus said to the disciples you are the light of the world or sun. Just as the sun does not need us, we don’t need the world, but we need to live a life such a way that they need us. Angel did not tell Cornelious about Jesus but asked him to send for Peter. Angel will not do the job which we can and should do. No man could open the tomb of Jesus but the angels did. It is God’s plan that we are to be interdependent but not independent from each other. April 13, 2022 5. Jesus is called wonderful counselor. Is 9:6. A counselor is the one who waits someone to come and counsel with him. Jesus said, “Come unto Me.” Why? He wants to counsel. How does He counsel us ? Through prayer. Every time an issue comes in our mind, we should pray. When fighting David asks the Lord and He said yes or no. When the king asked Nehemia what he could do, he prayed and God counseled Him what to do. Life of prophets are the life that lived by counsel of God. When Joshua did not pray for counsel on Gibbonites,then there a problem. The Bible says he did not pray. When David saw Bethshiva, he did not pray. When Eve wonder around, Adam did not pray. When we pray God gives us wonderful counsel as no man can counsel. When my wife was angry, I prayed and He counseled me what to do. When Abraham was in depression regarding Hagar, he prayed. Persecution and death are the portion of this world, but we must pray that the evil will not reign us every moment of our life. April 12, 2022 6. Jesus said, “You are the light.” He never said, “You are the fire.” Only the word of God is fire and God is fire, but when we become fire, or burn ourselves with anger against a brother, then we are acting as destructive agent, only God has that right, He was burnt with fire against the Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed them with fire. Any injustice done is like a fire not light. Paul was on fire to destroy Christians, till the encounter with Jesus made him gentle, courteous, kind, compassionate, rather be in dungeon than raise of YCL-young Christian league to take up arm and fight. Jesus was the Light as He said, “I am the Light of the world,’ but the thief on the cross was fire, who understood only when he was crucified. Must we wait till we suffer to know what Jesus wants us to make us what He wants. When we become fire,the we lose our light, taste of salt and become like Pharisees or Soul, and Jesus said ‘Your righteousness must exceed the righteousness of Pharisees-the religious leaders, swamis, pundits, scholars. How? by being light not the fire, by being salt that for taste not overly salted that need to throw out. Persecution of Christians took place because the religious leaders-Christians became salt that lost taste and fire-both Roman Catholic and Protestant. By keeping and teaching the Commandments our righteous exceeds the righteousness of pundits. No wonder David said, he loves God’s commandments, precepts and laws in Ps 119. Unless we love it, we may claim ourselves as Christians but we will lose our taste. (April 12, 2022). 7. Jesus said, in the world you will have tribulation, persecution, and you will be hated by all because of Me. It seems the problem, tribulations are to dishes for Jesus’ followers. And Paul says, “It is for your glory or own good.” Eph 3:13. Just like a mother suffer for a baby or child for its own good, the preachers of righteousness or gospel worker must live a suffering life for the good of other believers. It does strike home to me. I live up and down life with my own health, I don’t make excuse saying, “who cares, let me just sit and enjoy the remaining life..” But I am rubbing my life as flint to bring out the sparks of truth we have. And one flint brings out spark, unless rubbed in another-the Word of God and SOP. For the good of our saints, I am in prison with myself. Jesus suffered, Paul suffered and my own mother suffered for my own good. 8. Mal 3:17 God is an artisan who makes jewels. His faithful ones are His jewels. He said “In that day when I make My Jewels, not anyone’s,” Enoch, Abraham,, Noah, David, Paul etc were His jewels whom He gave shape as He wanted. David said, “I was afflicted” Jewels are ornaments, could be fashioned in gold, Jewels need to be cut and make them shapes to be valuable. God is shaping each of us through trials, errors, difficult life. He is the Father who spares or saves His child as a son who serves father- to give him his inheritance. Paul said, I know my life is in safe hand. This text has a gospel in summery- My jewel-John 3:17 anyone who believes Him become His jewel, I will make My Jewel-when we are under His guidance we can be sure that He is shaping us-through Word of God and walking His way. He is shaping us so that He would give us everlasting life-He promises to keep us safe, spare us from the devil, even though through the valley of shadow of death and the death itself like Moses-what is He making of us? To be with Jesus –John 14. Kingdom of heaven is like merchant who seeks to precious pearl. EGW says it has a double meaning. Not just we seek the pearl of great price –Jesus, but He Himself the heavenly Merchantman came to see the pearl each of us buried in the rubbish. My son Dipendra wrote to me, “Dad, you are a pebble in Kathmandu, and now you are the richness of friends.” How? Because Jesus found me buried in the dust of Nepal. Now, He is polishing me so that I could also polish other through His literature, making them feel they are precious jewels in God’s hand. Jesus prayed for His disciples, “Father spare them from evil-Satan” so that they would keep their faith in tribulation and persecution because He wants them to be with Him. John 17. 9. Mt 13:45, 46 in saying the kingdom o f heaven like a pearl, Jesus meant He is the pearl and whosever finds Him rejoices and give wholly to Him. To have Him,let Him come into our life should make us feel we are in God’s kingdom now while visible is later or how we view or experience now is t prepare for His coming. It is gift of peace, love and rest and God’s grace to live a free life from Satan-That I may know Him, 172 . Do not throw pearl to swine-Mt 7:6-why? Swine would not know and its value and would abuse it. People who profess to claim themselves Christians and do not build their house on the Rock Jesus, are the ones who are not knowing the value of Jesus and trample Him when they do not live up to the light to they have even crucify Him afresh –Heb 6:6- or trampling on the Pearl. Paul wept for such people, Jesus wept and God weeps-Jerm 9:1 but we take no physical action to those who abuse Him, we let the tare and wheat grow, it means there are wheat too in the church not just tares. (April 10, 2022), 10. Just one person-Noah, just one person Abraham, just one person Daniel, just one person the thief on the cross, and just for one person Jesus came to show God’s love John 3:16. I wonder whether that just one person could be me- the decision is left on me. Two things that are not given back, the inheritance received from the father-no matter how the receiver or son may abuse it or sell it like the property my father gave to my brothers, another is God’s inheritance the gift of freedom of choice. God will not take it back. The entire Bible is the proof, God rather weep –Jerm 9:1-send prophets, speak through person’s conscious or even die to let people choose Him for-Det 5:29, Lev 26:1-13, than taking back the freedom of conscious. Praise God that there will be multitudes who choose Him not just one, and the city in heaven is big enough to house all people not just one, He will come when the place will be full of redeemed now. (April 10, 2022). 11. Ex 6:20 every father and mother is to be Jochobed who took care of Moses till he was 12. Early childhood lays the foundation of future life of every child. The discipline, training, planting the seed of God and truth, principle of life is done in early childhood. Jochobed had to give up Moses at the age of 12, so do every father and mother have to give up his son or daughter either at 12 or even earlier or after their marriage. I left home or father’s care around 12 or early teen. But what my father laid the foundation in my life remained an unshakable till now. Though I learned the divine ethics only in later year when I accepted Jesus, but disciplined life that he taught me through hard way was strong, and though my mother died when I was around five, her love and care had grounded me to have love and care for other, and I never forget regarding alcohol or rakshi her telling me not to drink as early as I was around three. My father forced me to read when I was able to sit down, to cook at the age of five when my mother passed away, care of the house, bringing water getting up as early as three or four, isolating me from the community when he used to draw a line in front of the door of the shanty house in Ratnapark, making me walk and walk with him from one temple to another as well as houses of prominent people, like the chief justice of Nepal, introducing me to Keshar Shamser who exposed me to love of books even when I was just about 4 years, just have a food and clothes be content and desire nothing for more, not to steal-he nearly killed me when I stone his rs. 5, learn to live in hunger, take care of siblings and so on. These were the foundation that he laid on me in my early childhood. Because, I have accepted and realize it is my fortune, I remain a different from the rest of my sibling. I was trained to be what I am today, a disciplined life for God. Just as the princes of Egypt did not know that Jochobed was laying foundation of Moses was his mother, neither did my father knew he was laying foundation of my life for God. Every man or woman’s future and either meaningful or disgraceful life depend on the foundation laid in the childhood by father and mother regardless of class and status. The foundation that we laid on my sons to be ethical, loving and lovable are being carried till today. An Indian told Jitendra that if he gave him $2500 he would help him to stay on in America, Jitendra told me that he did not go to Lincoln School for that. How everyone who knows him love and fond of him. At the marriage of Dipendra, Hiram College’s admission officer drove all the way for over 60 miles to come to attend. When I asked her why she made that trip, she said she and college liked Dipendra so much that she wanted to see how his parents were. I continue to pray that the foundation to love Jesus that we planted on them will grow. (April 9, 2022). 12. To serve God Heb 9:14 13. To be a priest to declare God’s work 1 Peter 2:9. Priest’s work is to intercede. Jesus in heaven is interceding us, and we are here to intercede for each other.Jesus said all power is given unto Me, He intercede to give us power to live. We don’t live just for ourselves but for other, even pig live for other, and if we feel we have no reason to live, then we are worst than pig, no wonder Jesus said not to give holy to the swine. Those who want die and find no purpose for living is worst than a pig. 14. To praise God Ps 119:175.Heb 13:15 15. Eph 2:10 we are created to do good work. God has shaped us to do the good work but the satan has distorted us to do the evil work. God is judging now whether we are following it or not Rev 20:12. 16. Ps 139:18 When I wake up I am sill with You. We live to be with Jesus, whether in this life or life to come. To Paul death did not matter, he would be with Jesus now or after his death at the twinkling of his eyes. 17. Exodus 19:5, 3-6 To be the precious treasure of God, by listening to Him, obeying Him (Ps 119:1-9)To be priests all Israelites not just Levites. To be holy people of God-the dream and vision of God. 18. Hab 1:11 God said, when people make own strength as a god,then they are guilty, sinners. Yes, when we depend on our own strength, wisdom, wealth, status etc, God pronounce us as guilty. The Israelites have ample prove that they should not pass by God by making themselves the central point of their life other than God, so what did God do? He let them have their own strength to fight with enemy as opposed to His help in our trouble Ps 23. 19. I live to pray: Your prayers can make great things happen! 11 MARCH 2022 ‘‘When a believing person prays, great things happen.’’ James 5:16 NCV While holidaying in England, D.L. Moody visited a London church that was spiritually dead. The pastor recognised him and asked him to preach at the morning service. Reluctantly, Moody agreed. Afterwards, he told a friend the congregation was so unresponsive it was all he could do to finish his sermon. Later, he remembered he had committed to preach there again that night. Wishing he had never interrupted his holiday plans, he spent the afternoon dreading what was ahead. But behind the scenes, something was happening that Moody knew nothing about. After the morning service, an elderly lady met her invalid sister for lunch and told her about Moody’s upcoming visit. Her sister’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, ‘I’ve been praying God would send Moody to England! Put away the lunch, Sis. We’ll spend the afternoon fasting and praying for tonight’s service.’ When Moody took the pulpit that night, an ‘electric’ sense of God’s presence filled the sanctuary. He preached like a man on fire, and when he issued an invitation for people to follow Christ, five hundred responded. Thinking they had misunderstood, Moody had them sit down while he re-explained the gospel call. But when he issued a second invitation, the same five hundred stood to receive Christ. That Sunday initiated one of the greatest revivals ever to sweep England. What helped make it happen? Two elderly ladies who understood their church desperately needed the fire of God’s Spirit. They believed God’s promise, ‘When a believing person prays, great things happen.’ Today, tap into the power of prayer. Your prayers can help ignite the fire of God and make great things happen. 20. John 12:24 to fall in the ground and die like seed. Ps 119:25. We must die like seed so that the word of God be activated in our life, as David prayed. What is ground or dust? Basically living a life that is despised by other. How often people treat us like dirt? In it if we have seed of God, we shall sprout for Him. It is not the dirt that matter but the pearl in the dirt. David said, My soul cleave into the dust. I am lost in the dirt. Yes, we may be lost in the dirt of this world- after all what is in the world is going to turn into ashes and dirt, but if we have His word, we will be quicken or be alive, if not now but at His coming. Die, yes, Jesus died, and look what He produced? The saints who are joy and crowns as Paul said. 21. God knew there will be sin yet He created Adam and Eve. Why? Because it was worth said CS Lewis. A woman knew it would be deadly to bring her child, but it was worth. How often we parents go through trouble and know we will go through trouble yet we have our children. Why? Because it worth. Today, when I look back in my life, how me and my wife lived through difficulty for our children. We find now that it was worth. When we see the publications are being enjoyed by people, I find it was worth the trouble. 22. Jesus did not have to die for He said to Zaccheas “Salvation has come to this house.” He did not have to die to forgive sins, for He forgave many, He did not have to die to show love one another as He loved. His death was the pivotal point of His demonstration of love. It is not His death that saves us but our believe in Him that save us, John 3:16. His death was His willing to suffer for us as a mother is willing to suffer to have a child. 23. Pro 23:26 “My son give me your heart and let your eyes observe My ways.” To give my heart to Jesus, and continue to see God’s ways in the life of people not just in nature, but even my own life. Heart and eyes should be in harmony in the Lord. The heart that is given to God and they eyes that sees His testimonies or things He does is a prize of His high calling. Fix eyes and heart in Him. Ps 23 what else I need? The world ways are Broadway, the Lord’s way is narrow way- we need the art of seeing everything through the eyes that are fixed on Jesus. 24. Heb 13:1 to have continuity of love among brothers and sisters in Jesus- to entertain them as honored guests.Heb 13:2. To visit suppressed and abused. Heb 13:3. To keep the matrimony holy-Heb 13:4. Not to seek own honor-Heb 13:5,6. To remember church leaders and honor them-Heb 13:7-17. Pray for the apostles or Gospel preachers like Paul-Heb 13:18,19 25. We often say, we will see you in heave but we should really say we will see in the new earth because we will be busy in heaven for 1000 years judging the people or going over the records of people who got to be in heaven or not. Our main reason to live to be back to the Eden made new. 26. John 17:10, Gal 1:24 To glorify Jesus in me. His rebirth in me. 27. 2 Cor 5:17 be in Christ to be a new creature. Not just Jesus in me, but I am in Jesus. We live life twisting with Jesus, blending with Jesus. Smoothes with Jesus- put all the spiritual knowledge together and blend to make smoothes of life. 28. How come when Stephen was stoned he face lit up? How come when Moses was in the Mt Sini with God, his face shone? How come the millions of Christians were able to face death without fighting and with lit faces? How come when I was suppressed, I was able to stand? The church or people of God who keeps the commandments of God and faith of Jesus has special shining and bright clothes called Sun in Rev 12. We emit the bright light of the Sun of Righteousness even in the face of persecution because it is Jesus Who overcomes. Rev 17:4. 29. Lk 22:20 the blood of Jesus is the new covenant. It is pure and undefiled. Truly, it is not mixed with human genes, sinful nature, human blood that carries defective nature. This blood is straight from heaven. It has no human element. His blood type must be AB, that applies to all people in transfusion. The transfusion of character of Jesus. 30. First we must love God with all our heart-physically, mind or mentally or intellectually, spirit or spiritually or emotionally-giving our all our emotions to Him, then we will know what it means to love one another as Jesus loved. Anything less than that has a unhealthful intention. 31. Mt 5:3,5 bless are the poor in spirit and meek for the kingdom of heaven and new earth are there. Both the kingdom of heaven and earth are synonymous. The thief on the cross humbled himself and meekly accepted Jesus, the Roman centurion meekly accepted Jesus as Peter preached to him, Zaccheus was forgiven and promised God’s earth as to Abraham, the disciples meekly followed Jesus disregarding what the world said,, So what it means to be poor in spirit and meek? It means to bow to Jesus, accept Him,believe Him and follow Him, and not to hide ourselves from His face Is 53:3. It means to tremble with fear at the presence of God Heb 12:21, Is 66. 32. The noun “spirits,” or “spirit,” has three different uses in the letter to the Hebrews. First, “spirits” is used to designate angels who are ministering spirits (Heb. 1:7, 14). Second, “spirit” designates the Holy Spirit who gives gifts, speaks about the new covenant, and bears witness to it (Heb. 2:4, Heb. 3:7, Heb. 6:4, Heb. 9:8, Heb. 10:15). Sometimes the Holy Spirit seems to be described as the “Spirit of grace” (Heb. 10:29), or the “eternal Spirit” (Heb. 9:14). Third, “spirits” refers to human beings who are alive and who are subject to the piercing penetration of the Living Word of God (Heb. 4:12). Similarly, when Paul talks about God’s disciplining His children, he says “We have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?” (Heb. 12:9, ESV). Thus, we can conclude that the “spirits” in the phrase “the spirits of the righteous made perfect” (Heb. 12:23, NRSV) are not angels, nor the Holy Spirit, but human beings who, by faith have approached Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem (Heb. 12:22). Felix Cortez Book of Hebrews teacher’s edition. 33. John 3:16 for God loved the world…. Whether the world loved Him or not, and He sent His Son as sun and rain upon the earth, world despised Him and crucified Him, and yet at the cross He kept loving them who abused Him as He said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” and God forgave the thief on the cross, the answer to His prayer. If we love the same God who has virtue as described in Ps 86:15-longsuffering, merciful, gracious, truthful and compassion, we too would manifest the same virtue upon the people who may manifest the same virtues to us or not. I wrote letters to friends, and many of them do not reply, with this concept, now I come to understanding that whether they reply or not, I should not give up in testifying them what God has been doing in my life. 34. Making friends to establish affection for Jesus said, I will call you friends to His disciples, sharing the literature for Jesus said, they testify of Me, and being born myself in their life-for Jesus said you must be born again- are my art of living. 35. Baptizing people do not make them Christians. They were the pain in the neck of Paul. Gal 4:19. They were the ones who are crucifying Jesus afresh Heb 6:6, but having Jesus born in the life of a believer or live according to His will and walking as He walked even as Paul walk make people joy and crown of God and Paul Philippians 4:1. We do not judge the people and we ought to see every person as the images of God even as Joseph saw His image in Potifer’s wife, however we are to know them by fruit as Jesus said in Mt 7, by knowing by their fruits, we do not take physical action against them, for it is God who will take as John the Baptist said, the ax has laid on you. Jesus is the Judge He will take action and if we take action against the fruit then we are taking the place of God as James said. Know the fruit and be harmless as dove said Jesus. And be not be their slaves of their mentality, character, behavior and what nots. Why people act what they are because nothing to do with religion, race or gender, but because they are human being who have all sinned as Paul and Isaiah said, ‘We all are like sheep going on our own way” Is 53. And when the person has no Jesus or His is not born in their life, we should not expect them have best and Nobel behavior from them. For God so loved the world, we are to love them regardless of who they are and they do, if they love back it is to their advantage or benefits (Lev 26:1-13). God was long suffering, so He put up with Israelites for 40 years and clear up to the death of Stephen even to now. 36. Gyan yoga and karma yoga is the righteousness of God , that we show by our karma yoga not by dharma yoga or even by bhakti yoga or religion that divides the people. 37. Gen 1:31 when God created, everything was good and perfect. Death was not the part of the creation. It is an intruder, but in Hinduism and Buddhism or even in science, death is the part of our existence. Number of rebirth cycle tells there is death required and the science doing all it can to kill. Just as I wrote this Russia fired a missile to Ukraine killing 19 soldiers. The science may looks good at creating something good and comfort to the people, but behind it is death, even mobile. It intention is to annihilate people and creation. God wants us to be back in Eden where there will be no death. God created everything good that we needed, but man thought His creation was not complete so added many things including sin, vice etc. there will be no man’s work in back to Eden or earth made new, to appreciate this we only have to be like a baby who love and appreciate its mother. 38. Whereas Hinduism and Buddhism teach there is no end to suffering. Through the cycle of birth and rebirth and new ages or Yugas, the birth, suffering and death continue forever. But the Sabbath tells suffering will end by Jesus Himself healing a person on Sabbath. “Do you want to be whole?” or want to live a wholistic life? When the man said, “Yes,” he got to live that life. The death and resurrection of Jesus prove that the time will come for us, that Satan the originator of sin and evil will be destroyed forever. His resurrection was the type of death of Satan. When He comes back then the it will be antitype-the death forever.So in this concept we can not harmonized Bible teaching with other. Bible says, there is end to evil and other say, no it is continuing. Then there is no such thing as heaven in reality. If when a person live a blissful life in heaven and only to be recycled again, would there be happiness? Buddha has reached to the stage of nothingness, but he keeps coming back in different incarnation or rebirth to suffer and be Buddha again. I like to be in heaven with Jesus where there will be no sin, suffering and need of another Calvary. 39. When God made Adam He gave him three gifts: Eden Gen 2:8, food 2:16 and woman 2:22. And He still gives us the same gift. Eden or place to live and work, food for sustenance and woman- whatever form she may be not just wife, for the original intention of Eve to Adam was to help him, it is Adam who took advantage of making his wife, but God brought to him to help him in his work. So a woman whoever form she may be, mother, wife, sister, helper, teacher, friend- this gift is still with us. Woman thinks with both sides of brain but a man thinks only one side says the psychologist, a man needs a woman whoever form she may be to help him to think symmetrically, both sides thinking, and inbuilt well wish for other. How to maintain those gifts are up to us-to use it or abuse them. If we abuse all three, then we will suffer consequence now or hereafter. No wonder Manusmriti says, “Any home that a woman is despised gods will not dwell in it.” Prakash my friend belittled his wife Sutanli, now he is in prison. We can not abuse the gift of woman. I will have respect says God regarding a person in Jerm 9, if He respects we should respect. Joseph respected Potifer’s wife, he became the second ruler of Egypt. If we can respect a woman-mother, wife, we may not be ruler of Egypt, but at least we can be a ruler of ourselves. My wife Purnamaya told me before she died, “I know I am being hard on you and even cruel to you, it is for your own good.” Ps 119 has reference how the author suffered, and said for my own good. Today, I am able to rule myself just because my wife was hard on me. Eden, God says work,take care of it, whatever we are given we should take care. Before sin there was no sweat, if we are in Jesus as a new creation Rom 6:6, we don’t need to sweat till death, that is why we are given Sabbath so that we can rest. 6 days work is a blessing that God gave to Adam and He gives to us, but if we work on Sabbath too then we are abusing the blessing, He did not say work all 7 days but people are doing, curse is being brought by themselves-the curse of restlessness, sickness, money minded, richness, insecurity etc. And food, God said eat all the fruits and vegetables. There was no tree of good and evil when God created Eden first. It is when He knew Adam needed to control self or discipline self that God put that tree. This tree is every where now, may be in a form of mobile, TV, shops etc. Dare not abuse the home that has work, food and woman-the gifts that the Lord wants us to cherish in every day of life. Heaven is real 26 MARCH 2022 ‘‘Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.’’ Revelation 21:5 NIV John the revelator wrote: ‘I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is…among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true”’ (vv. 2-5 NIV). When an atheist died and his friends filed by his casket, one of them remarked, ‘How sad – all dressed up and nowhere to go!’ Not so for the believer! As a redeemed child of God, you’re assured of a home in heaven and citizenship in ‘the new Jerusalem’. John continues, ‘The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city’ (v. 15 NIV). The city is an exact square of about fourteen hundred miles (see v. 16 NIV). It would stretch from the Carolinas to California and from Canada to Mexico. It’s approximately twenty-one times the size of the UK, ten times the size of France, and bigger than India. And that’s just the ground floor! It’s as tall as it is wide; six hundred thousand storeys high – more than enough room for billions of people to come and go. So here is the question: when you die, will you go to heaven? Bible in a Year: Deuteronomy 19-21, Mark 13:21-37 • Mt 5:6 blessed are those who hunger and thirst after the righteousness. Who or what is righteousness? It is the Lord God who is righteous and has righteousness. Ps 145:17, Is 45:21,Jerm 12:1, John 17:21, Ps 71:10, 116:4-6, 129:4. To seek God who is righteous and His righteousness, is a blessing. :quality of being morally right or justifiable. acting in accord with divine or moral law : free from guilt or sin. 2a : morally right or justifiable a righteous decision. b : arising from an outraged sense of justice or morality righteous indignation. all right, • decent, ethical, • good, • honest, • honorable, • just, • moral, • nice, • right, • right-minded, • straight, • true, • upright, • virtuous Antonyms • bad, • dishonest, • dishonorable, • evil, • evil-minded, • immoral, • indecent, • sinful, • unethical, • unrighteous, • wicked, • wrong 40. Heb 6:19,20 Jesus went inside the veil as our forerunner. It means when we go to heaven, we will be going inside the veil because He went ahead for us. Inside the veil is the presence of God as in the sanctuary on earth. We all be at the presence of God. No longer there will be a veil between God and us.Right now Jesus in our heart, yet veiled by our sinful natured body. That time everyone will se the face of Jesus shining through our life. 41. As the Head of the church Christ is authoritatively calling upon every person who claims to believe on Him to follow His example of self-denial and self-sacrifice.... They are called upon to rally without delay under the blood-stained banner of Christ Jesus. Withholding nothing, they are to make an entire offering for the attainment of eternal, measureless results—the salvation of souls.22 Mystery of Godliness, March 16 169 1. Philippians 3:10 To know Jesus . Paul threw all his knowledge to the ground to know Jesus. There was a group of people who burned all their knowledge in the town square. CS Lewis threw all his atheistic knowledge at the feet of Jesus so that he may know Jesus. Zacheas got very excited when Jesus came to his house and in his heart, he was transformed. Baptism, going to church, being theologians do not make one who knows Jesus, Mt 11:25, we are still babies, as baby, what does it know about its mother? Neither do we know about Jesus or God, yet as the baby grow in knowing mother, we must grow in knowing Jesus. 1. Mathew 13:34 Jesus is the kingdom of heaven but it is hidden in the field-field of knowledge, people, nature, Bible is field where God’s word is planted. He is the treasurer. 2. Mt 3:17 Jesus is the Beloved Son of heavenly Father 3. John 1:29 He is the Lamb of God who takes the sins of the world. 4. Heb 7:3 He is our Priest forever. 5. Heb 7:26 He is holy, undefiled, separated from sinners,blamels and exalted 6. 1 John 4:1 He made us to the sons and daughters of God. He suffered for us to be in that status. 7. Jesus knows everyone by name even Saul who persecuted His followers 8. All believers are one body-Heb 13:3 as, Jesus, Father and Holy Spirit and us John 17:23,26. Eph 1:6 9. 1 Peter 1:18,19 Jesus’ blood the lamb without blemish is ever fresh to redeem us. Peter said, “You have been redeemed” no you will be redeemed, not something future but “Now”. We need to experience a new life right now 2 Cor 5:17. We can’t buy salvation by using anything even gold and silver-for poor has no gold and silver and they still can have salvation. We can’t have salvation through vain conversation-which means doing all mantras, rituals, religious tradition performance like Hindus, Catholics do. Even praying the prayer Jesus taught by repeating without meaning or just for the sake of religious reason or please God can be vain conversation-preaching without Jesus in a person, John 17:10 can be a vain conversation. Peter wants to emphasize nothing human effort, work, rituals etc can obtain the salvation but by Jesus only. Our focus should be Jesus, and nothing tradition. 10. 1 Cor 6:19,20 Jesus gave back His human body to God, we are to give back our redeemed body back to Jesus. When we believe in Jesus, and have Him in us, we become His, and whatever we do must flow from Him and for Him. 11. Is 53:6 all like sheep gone astray, we have turned own way, and the Lord has laid our iniquity on Him, couple this text with Heb 6:4-6. While Isaiah was talking about Jews, Paul was talking about general Christians. Once even after tasting the salvation of Jesus and goes away or turn back from believing in Jesus, then our iniquities or turning way from Him lays on Jesus. Our sins were laid on Jesus, and we will again when we turn away from Him, Paul even says we would be crucifying Jesus. Once we love Jesus and then turn away or backslide, it hurts Jesus so much that He feels He is being crucified again. He is being betrayed. Judas betrayed Jesus, Jesus was crucified, if we betray Jesus because of want of money and position, perhaps Judas wanted to be the finance minister in the kingdom of God, we crucify Jesus. If we love Him, we would not crucify Him. 12. Lk 23:33 Jesus was crucified between two criminals.The criminals are dirt of the earth, they are thorns in the earth. People and the government despised them. The are the product of the earth-the dark earth. Yet there was Jesus. Jesus was with the criminals. The religious leaders thought when Jesus ate with Zaccheus, He was eating with sinners or criminals- criminals are corrupt people. And now Jesus was crucified among criminals. According to the Bible, Is 53:6 and many other texts we all are criminals. None of us are good. Anyone who live according the fruit of the flesh is a criminal in God’s sight. Yet Jesus died for them and among them. Jesus was the Rose of Sharon, He was among the thorns but like Rose. For God so loved the world-the criminal world may be, He gave His Son. We should have art of finding Jesus among criminals, sinners,wicked and lawless or those who don’t know the Law of God. At the cross the darkness spread. Yes, if we represent Jesus on this earth, we too experience darkness, but there was Jesus. Joseph saw God in Potipher’s wife. Man and woman are in God’s image. We are commanded to see God in each human being no matter who they are, their religion, race or gender. He came to break the wall made by religion and crimes too. The choice to get into that broken wall is left up to the individual. We are no better than those criminals, in fact if we do not live spirit of Jesus’ life we continue to be criminals who crucify Jesus. Heb 6:6 no matter how much we claim to be called Christians. Lk 23:34 when Jesus prayed to forgive them, He meant even for the those criminals who hung with Him. And upon the acceptance one criminal was forgiven- the answer to His prayer, and in fact in His entire life on earth, he was the only person who understood Jesus. God is long suffering and merciful.EGW challenges us to reproduce the character of Jesus or God outlined in Ps 86:15. On the spot God answered the prayer of Jesus and the criminal who died as a redeemed person. When we see people we should focus our eyes on Jesus not on the criminals or crime of the people. Prachanda said he killed 5000 people, so he was the murder from his own mouth. How many people did the criminals who were crucified, we don’t know. And we get angry and want to do justice by killing the murders. But when Jesus said, “If you are angry with your brother, you are killing. If you look at a woman with lust, then you are committing adultery, if you say someone fool then he is in danger of judgment because only God can judge and say who is fool or not” and if we judge we are taking the place of God, the place which the Satan desired said James. So, we are criminals and sinners in God’s side.That is why Jesus taught us to pray to forgive our sins, because every day in our dealing with people we murder by getting angry and misjudge people by one way or another, even saying words that hurt. Jesus expects nothing than higher and noble standard and we all are fall short on that. God is longsuffering and merciful, and willing to forgive us, and we should forgive other. 13. Is 53:3 He is despised, and rejected by people,He is the man of sorrow, people rejected Him, He is acquainted with our grief, we hid our faces from Him, He was despised and we did not honor Him. It is in present tense. He is still being despised, rejected by people, and He is still Man of sorrow because backslider Christians crucify Him, Heb 6:6, He knows all our grief including labor pain, but we hide from His faces instead of His face to shine on us, and we don’t know how to honor Him. How do we honor Him? By walking as He walked. How many of us claim that we walk as He walked. If we don’t please let us not call ourselves Christians, when we are not Gal 6 14. Heb 2:14 Jesus took our flesh, bone and blood so that He would die to destroy the creator of death, the devil. When He came from heaven He had not flesh and bone of ours. He was like water, the surrounding can be polluted, but take the surrounding away, the pure water remain pure. I have a water bottle from KU, that was purified after taking away all bad stuff that smothered it. Jesus took our sinful flesh, He was clothed with our sinful flesh, yet like the water could have no chemical to destroy its existence, He did not have the chemical called sin, sin from the Adam, and His gene was free from sin’s pollution neither He had our blood type-He had a divine blood that can be transfused to all humanity and clean us from all unrighteousness says Paul. If the water is destroyed by chemical, it cannot be useful to those who are thirsty. If Jesus had sin or did sin, He would be no useful for sinners because He Himself would be destroyed by sin. Which of you convict Me of sin? Asked Jesus to the pundits. They could not find any sin in Him except His claim as Son of God or equalizing Himself with God. Because of this equalization He became our Savior. Anyone less than that not even angel could save us from the power of death. He destroyed the power of death by Himself dying and coming out of the tomb. It means as Jesus said, “the ruler of this world comes and I have nothing to do with him.” Satan tried something with Him in wilderness and all along His life, but after His death and resurrection , he has no more power over Him. Death itself is a power over death. When we die, the Satan’s power is forever lost in us. No wonder millions of His adherence were willing to die, crucified, killed, tortured and death. And Paul did not mind to die in his word and was willing to die at the hand of Nero. Satan has power over wicked, which will be after second resurrection, but at the first Satan has no power at our first death and resurrection. Satan has power over us as long as we live, then his power is gone in our life. We should not be afraid of death. It is a privilege to die in the Lord. Blessed are dead in the Lord says the book of Revelation. It is all because Jesus died and destroyed the power of the creator of death, the Devil. And no son and daughter of God die till He allow as in the case of Job or so. "All this humiliation of the Majesty of heaven was for guilty, condemned man. He went lower and lower in His humiliation, until there were no lower depths that He could reach, in order to lift man up from his moral defilement. All this was for you.”That I might know Him p 143. Yes do we love our brothers and sisters? We too should be willing to lower ourselves to that depth, willing to give our time, money, life so that they could be lifted to Him. This is the life He called me and each person. A purposeful life-that is to uplift the one who is depressed, deprived of human dignity, love, compassion, affection etc.(March 22, 2022). 15. Mat. 5:9-Jesus came to make peace between God and man, therefore according His own word, He was rightfully called Son of God.That right He passed on to us “sons of God,” on condition we too make peace with each other. 1 John 4:1 we are called sons and daughters of God by His love and by our response to His love by being peacemakers. Jesus could have commanded the army of His follower to fight the world power but He did not, He could have physically destroyed the whole establishment of religious system by the breath of His voice, but He did not, He could have played a great role of social reformer by denouncing the slavery system or oppressive system, but He did not, He could have denounce the religious leaders for making religion over relationship (though certain extent He did) and lead the army of poor to fight against them as Lenin did to attack the storehouse of Moscow. All these require force, and domineering spirit and in the name of justice doing injustice by harming the people. Instead through His life, word, action and death, He made peace with God and with each other and self-love your neighbor as yourself. How can one love neighbor if one is no peace with himself? Loving neighbor must start from loving healthy self. Neighbor needs love, affection, food, clothing, good health, good mental state and other help, but if we don’t have those for ourselves, how can we give to other? The world including Christianity teach to be empty self and live empty or sadhu life but Jesus said, work six days a week making God the center or Sabbath day, so that we can be source of blessing to other. Prosperous life can be blessing only when we can share. By sharing we show we are God’s children, and we make peace with others. 16. 1 John 4:10 God’s crowning work was the creation of man, before sin, and after sin it was the Calvary. God loved Adam and He breathed His breath to become a living soul, the sin has paralyzed Him, but He still continued to love a man-the history in the Bible tells how much He loved and suffered long time for the wayward Israelites. Last stand God took to show how much He loved us by sending His own Son to remove sin from us, and by faith in Him we can prove His love in us. It was the last act of God’s recreation-the Calvary. It was His last stand-and we must acknowledge that and by faith come to Him. Two criminals-one accepted His last stand, and another did not. We all are sinners and criminal because we say yes to Satan than God, yet God’s last stand (as Custer’s last stand in the American history), we have chance to take back the God’s original plan for His crowning work (EGW)-not by our work but acknowledging Him “our God.” 17. John 10:17 Father loved Jesus because He laid down His life for people, because He laid His life, He will get back the life again. We cannot enjoy the life now abundantly or new life unless we can lay down our life for our brethren. By giving ourselves to other we can enjoy the fullness of life. We can live a living life now and the life to come. A mother lay down her life for a baby, and when the baby comes out she lives again, but many cases she does not.That does not mean she would notlay down her life for a child. By being in the mind of Jesus, we may not have a life now and may even have to die as millions did, then there is a life that God will give again, as He did to Jesus. If He raised Jesus, He will raise us too. Our part is to dare to lay down our life for brothers and sisters. Elizah took the risk and he was taken to heaven while living, but Moses took risk but he was dead and buried and the Lord raised Him, Abraham and David and Joseph and many other laid their life to be blessing for other and their graves are still there. But the promise that they will get the life is still there.

Pot-pourri of spiritual Churning or ongoing spiritual diary

Evolution theology or transcendental faith (To be updated) March 15, 2022 The ongoing spiritual diary will continue December 13, 2020 • Jesus claimed to be Son of God, so He was crucified by the religious leaders. Over 40 million Christians have been killed by mostly by so called religious leaders, just because they wanted to remain God’s sons and daughters. • Forgive us our sins, trespasses as we forgive other also means not just breaking the Law of God but not loving other as Jesus loves, who said , love one another as I have loved you. He told even to Judas who was going to betray Him. • Our Father, the prayer beginning. God is the God of corporate not just of individual. Throughout the Bible this concept is echoed. However to get the blessing and benefit of having God as our Father, we need to believe His Son, John 3:16. Nothing doing in the name of religion or our righteous work will be entitled for that. • Why did not Jesus found YCL-young Christian league- to take physical action against those who did not believe in Him? Because when He first came He came as a Saviour not as Judge. As a human being Jesus did not judge people but wanted us to treat everyone as God’s image even as He did. But right now He is judging all of us as God, not as a Man , in heaven. As a Man, He did not want to judge another man, leaving us as an example not to pronounce judgment on other. Only God has right to judge, this time Jesus came as a Man, not as God for if He came as a God no man would see His face and live according to Exodus. • Paul and all the apostles suffered, thought their suffering did not bring salvation to other, neither they should have right to suffer, but they aimed for the crown but not without the cross. For that they had to experience fellowship in suffering with Jesus. Philpippians 3:10. • God promised us to recreate or rebuild or re-formed us even making us virgins: Jerm 31:3-6, Is 43:7 • After my own fall in 2001 from the stair that made me near half paralyze for some time, and permanently damaged my spine, when I asked the Lord, is it the end of my world? He said no. He gave me additional time. So present time is His gift to me, and what I do with this time is my gift to God as I put my time in His hands. Ps 131. • When God asked the Israelites and from us, Love your God with all your heart, soul and strength, He was asking something for us to do which He Himself did. He loves us with all His heart (Ezk 16 and other prove that), He love us with all His soul or mind- He gave us all mind or intellectual or intelligent or information that we needed for salvation, to make our life meaningful according to our capacity-He loved us with all His strength by dying on the cross. So God is not asking something which He Himself did not do.

येशू ख्रीष्ट र पवित्र धर्मशास्त्र बाइबललाई उच्च स्थानमा उचाल्नुभएको थियो। येशूप्रतिको आस्था र विश्वाशसको आधार नै येशू र बाइबल हुन् भनेर उनले दावी गरेकी थिइन्। विषय सूची पृ. अध्याय १ –एलेन जी ह्वाइट को

छोटकरीमा भन्ने हो भने आत्मिक बरदानहरूले सजिएकी एक असाधारण महिला थिइन्। उनी उन्नाइसौँ शताब्दीमा रहेतापनि (१८२७-१९१५) बिसौँ र एक्कााइसौँ शताब्दीमा उनका लेखहरूले विश्वाका लाखौँ मानिसहरूलाई क्रान्तिकारी रूपमा प्रभावित पारिरहेका छन्। उनको जीवन कालमा ५००० भन्दा बेसी लेखहरू पत्रिकाको निम्ति छापेका थिए। उनले ४० भन्दा बेसी पुस्तकहरू लेखेकी थिइन्। उनका सबै हस्तलिपीहरू ५०,००० पाना छन्। उनका ती हस्तलिपीहरू र पुस्तकहरू मिलाएर छापिएको छ। अङ्ग्रेजी भाषामा १०० वटा भन्दा बेसी पुस्तकहरू छन्। साहित्यको इतिहासमा उनी सबभन्दा धेरै अनुवाद गरिएकी लेखिका हुन्। लैङ्गिक हिसाबमा हेर्दा अमेरिकाका लेखकहरूमा उनी सबैभन्दा धेरै अनुवाद गरिएको लेखिका हुन्। उनका लेखहरूले धेरै विषयबस्तुहरू समेतिएका छन्। तिनीहरूमा धार्मिक वा आत्मिक, शैक्षिक, सामाजिक सम्बन्ध, सुसमाचार प्रचार, भविष्यवाणी, पुस्तक छपाइ सम्बन्धी सल्लाहहरू, पौष्टिक खाना र व्यवस्थापन आदिहरू छन्। उनका अत्यन्तै उल्लेखनीय र सफल इसाई जीवनको निर्देशिका भएको पुस्तक स्टेप्स टु क्राइस्ट हो। यो पुस्तक १४० भन्दा बेसी भाषामा छापिएको छ। एलेन जी ह्वाइट प्रतिभाशाली सर्जक वा लेखिकामात्र होइनन् भनेर सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टहरू जिकिर गर्दछन्। संसारलाई पवित्र धर्मशास्त्र बाइबलतिर ध्यान आकर्षित गर्न र प्रभु येशूको दोस्रो आगमनको निम्ति मानिसहरूलाई तयार हुन सघाउन परमेश्वररले नै नियुक्त गर्नुभएको विशेष दूत हुनुहुन्थ्यो भनेर सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टहरू दावी गर्छन्। उनी १७ वर्ष हुँदादेखि ७० वर्षपछि उनको मृत्यु नहुँदासम्म परमेश्वीरले उनलाई कमसेकम २००० भन्दा बेसी दर्शन र स्वप्नदर्शनहरू दिनुभएको थियो। उनले दर्शन देखिरहेको समय एक मिनेटदेखि झन्दै चार घन्टासम्म हुन्थ्यो। उनलाई प्रकट भएका विषयबस्तुहरू उनले लेखेका थिए। उनी चाहन्थिकी उनले पाएका ज्ञान र सल्लाहहरू सबै मानिसहरूले थाहा पाउन्। एडभेन्टिस्टहरूमा उनका लेखहरू प्रेरणादायी र विशेष स्तरका हुन् भनेर सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टहरू स्वीकार्दछन्। येशूलाई विश्वाास नगर्नेहरूले पनि उनका लेखहरू पढ्दा तिनीहरूको चेतना जगाउँछ। (कतिपय मानिसहरू एडभेन्टिस्टहरूलाई बाइबल भन्दा एलेन जी ह्वाइटलाई वढि मान्यता दिन्छन् भनेर आरोप गर्दछन्। त्यो आरोप तिनीहरूको पूर्वाग्रह र अल्पज्ञानको उपज हो-अनुवादकको थप)। एडभेन्टिस्टको विश्वावसको बारेमा लेखिएको पुस्तकमा स्पष्टकासाथ यो लेखिएको छ, "एलेन जी ह्वाइटका लेखहरू धर्मशास्त्र बाइबलको वैकल्पिक सामग्री होइनन्। एलेन जी ह्वाइटका सामग्रीहरू र बाइबललाई एउटै स्तरमा राख्न् सकिन्दैन। पवित्र धर्मशास्त्र बाइबल एकलै उच्च धरोहरकोरूपमा खडा भइरहन्छ। उनका र अरू सबै लेखहरूको विशेष मापदण्ड वा जाँच्ने आधार धर्मशास्त्र बाइबल नै हुनुपर्दछ। कुनै पनि मानिसका अध्यात्मिक दर्शन र लेखहरू धर्मशास्त्र बाइबलको परिधिभित्र हुनुनै पर्दछ" (सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट बेलिभ, मिनिस्टेरियल, जनरल कन्फरेन्स अभ सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट, वाशिङ्गटन, डी.सी., १९८८, पृ. २२७बाट रूपान्तरित)। यस मामिलामा एलेन जी ह्वाइट आफैले यसरी व्यक्त गर्नुभएको थियो, "धर्मशास्त्र बाइबलद्वारा परमेश्वसर आफैले मानिसहरूलाई उहाँको इच्छा प्रकट गर्नुभएको थियो। धर्मशास्त्र बाइबल बुझाउन पवित्र आत्माको उपस्थिति र अगुवाइको निरन्तरतालाई परमेश्वमरले अनावश्यक ठान्नुभएको छैन। बरू त्यसको बिपरित परमेश्वभरका सेवकहरूले बाइबलबाट दिव्यज्ञान पाउन् र यसमा लेखिएका शिक्षादीक्षाहरू पालन गर्न सहयोग गरुन् भनेर हाम्रो मुक्तिदाता आफैले पवित्र आत्माको प्रतिज्ञा दिनुभएको थियो" (द ग्रेट कन्त्रोभर्सी, पृ. ७बाट रूपान्तरित)। देहायका अध्यायहरूमा संक्षिप्तयमै भएतापनि विस्तृतरूपमा अत्यन्तै उल्लेखनीय लेखिकाको जीवन र कामहरू वर्णन गरिएको छ। बाइबलमा निर्धारण गरिएका सत्य अगमवक्ताहरूलाई जाँच्ने तरिकाहरूलाई उहाँलाई प्रयोग गरिएको थियो। उनकै सक्रियता र सहयोगमा विश्वनव्यापि सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट चर्च स्थापना भएको थियो। अध्याय २-एलेन जी ह्वाइटका सुरुका वर्षहरू सन १८२७को नभेम्बर २६मा एलेन जुम्ल्याहा बहिनी इलिजाबेथसँग जन्मेकी थिइन्। तिनीहरूका बुबा रोबर्ट र आमा युनिक हार्मन थिए। आठ जना छोराछोरीहरू भएको घर अत्यन्तै घटलाग्दो र व्यस्त स्थान थियो। अमेरिकाको उत्तरपूर्वको भाग मेन प्रान्तको गोरहाम भन्ने गाउँको सानो फार्म वा कृषि-घरमा एलेनको परिवार रहन्थे। त्यो परिवार खेतिपातीमा व्यस्त थिए। तर जुम्ल्याहाको जन्मपछि बुबा रोबर्ट हार्मनले खेतिपाती गर्ने काम छोडे। त्यस गाउँको बार्हज माइल वा करिब २० किलोमिटर पूर्वमा रहेको पोर्टल्याण्ड सहरमा आफ्नो परिवारसाथ रोबर्ट हार्मन सरे। रोबर्ट हार्मनले टोपी बनाउने व्यवसाय अङ्गालेका थिए। सानैदेखि एलेनले घरमा र आफ्नो बुबालाई टोपीहरू उत्पादन गर्न सहयोग गर्थिन्। उनी नौ वर्षको हुँदा एक दिन स्कूलबाट घर फर्किन्दै गर्दा उनका स्कूलको साथीले उनलाई ढुङ्गा हान्दै थिए। कसले ढुङ्गा हानेको भनेर फर्केर हेर्दा उनको अनुहारमा साथीले हिर्काएको ढुङ्गा लाग्यो र उनको नाकमा नराम्रोसँग चोट लाग्न पुग्यो। उनको नाकबाट ह्वारह्वार्ती रगत बग्यो। उनी तीन हप्ताासम्म अचेत भइन्। नाकमा भएको गम्भिर चोटपटकले गर्दा उनी बर्षौँसम्म धेरै कष्ट पाइन्। यसले गर्दा केवल तीन कक्षामात्र पढेकी एलेनको औपचारिक शिक्षा सदाको निम्ति अन्त्य भयो। अत्यन्तै मायालु, सहयोगी, खुशी र मित्र भावना भएको सानी एलेन धेरै वर्ष बाँच्ने सम्भावना भएको थिएन। सन १८४०मा एलेन आफ्ना बाबुआमाको साथमा मेन प्रान्तको बक्सटन भन्ने गाउँमा मेथोडिस्ट सम्प्रदायका इसाईहरूले गरेको लामो समयसम्म चलेको सार्वजनिक सुसमाचार प्रचारमा भाग लिइन्। त्यसबेला उनी १२ वर्षकी थिइन्। त्यस सुसमाचार प्रचार सभामा उनले आफ्नो हृदय येशूलाई सुम्पिन्। जुन २६, १८४२मा उनकै अनुरोधमा पोर्टल्यान्ड प्रान्तको समुद्री किनारा कस्को बेमा पानीमा डुबेर बप्ति४स्मा लिइन्। त्यही दिन उनी मेथोडिस्ट चर्चको सदस्यता उनले लिइन्। अध्याय ३-एडभेन्टिस्ट सन्देश सन १८४०देखि अमेरिकाको पोर्टल्याण्डमा एक किसानी प्रचारक विलियम मिलर र उनका सहयोगीहरूले बाइबलकै भविष्यवाणीको आधारमा येशूको दोस्रो आगमन सन १८४४मा हुन्छ भनेर जोडकातोरले प्रचार गरेका थिए। सन १८४० र १८४२मा एलेन जी ह्वाइट र उनका परिवारका सदस्यहरूले विलियम मिलरले पोर्टलान्डका एडभेन्टिस्ट सभाहरूमा प्रस्तुत गरेका तिनीहरूको दृष्टिकोणको सन्देशलाई स्वीकारे। तिनीहरूले प्रचार गरेको अनुसार येशूको आगमन तुरन्तै हुने कुरामा सबै स्रोताहरू विश्व्स्त भएका थिए। त्यो सन्देशप्रति अत्यन्तै भावुक र जोशिलो बनेर एलेनले आफ्ना युवा साथीहरूलाई त्यस सन्देशलाई ग्रहण गर्न उत्साह दिइन्। येशूको दोस्रो आगमनको सन्देशलाई सकेसम्म सबैलाई सुनाउने प्रयास आफ्नो तर्फबाट एलेनले गरेकी थिइन्। तर येशूको आगमनको प्रतिक्षा गरेको अनुसार उहाँ अक्टोबर २२, १८४४मा यस संसारमा आउनुभएन। त्यसले गर्दा येशूको आगमनको अपेक्षा गरेका धेरै इसाईहरूमा ठूलो निराश छाएको थियो र कतिले त येशूमाथि विश्वा सै त्यागेका थिए। तर एलेनको युवाअवस्थाको जोशसँग मिलेर अरू साथीहरूले पनि अझ गहिरिएर बाइबल अध्ययन गर्न थालेका थिए। येशू नआउँदा तिनीहरू धेरै समयसम्म अन्यौल भएका थिए। तिनीहरूले हृदयदेखि उहाँको आगमनको बारेमा अझ प्रकाश पार्न र अगुवाई गर्न परमेश्वलरसँग प्रार्थनामा धेरै तल्लिन भइरहेका थिए। जब एडभेन्टिस्ट अनुभवहरूलाई धेरैले त्यागेका थिए वा येशूको आगमन नहुने कुरामा शङ्का गरेका गरिरहेका थिए तब एलेन एक जना विश्वावसीको घरमा घरेलु सङ्गति गरिरहेका थिए। सन १८४४को डिसेम्बर महिनाको अन्तिम दिनहरूमा त्यो घरेलु सङ्गतिमा महिलाहरू पनि सहभागी भएका थिए। जब तिनीहरू प्रार्थना गरिरहेका थिए तब परमेश्वहरको शक्ति एलेनमाथि पर्यो्। सङ्गति भइरहेकै बेलामा उनले दर्शन देखिन्। येशूलाई पर्खिनेहरू परमेश्वतरको सहरमा गइरहेको एलेनले आफ्नो दर्शनमा देखेकी थिइन्। उनी केवल १७ वर्षकिमात्र थिइन्। डर मान्दै यो दर्शन पोर्टलान्डको एडभेन्टिस्ट समूहलाई बताइन्। उनले देखेका दर्शन परमेश्वयरबाट नै आएको हो भनेर त्यस समूहले स्वीकार गर्योइ। त्यो दर्शनबाट उत्साहित भएर एलेन आफ्ना केही साथी र आफन्तहरूसँग ठाउँ ठाउँमा छरिएका एडभेन्टिस्टहरूलाई आफूले पाएको पहिलो र अरू दर्शनहरू बताइन्। त्यस समय एडभेन्टिस्टहरूको निम्ति सजिलो थिएन किनभने येशू नआउनुभएकोमा तिनीहरू अत्यन्तै निराश भएका थिए। कतिपय सांसारिक मानिसहरूले तिनीहरूलाई गिल्ला गरे। तिनीहरू आफै पनि एकता भएको थिएन। तिनीहरूको बीचमा त कतिपय विश्वातसीहरू बाइबलको बारेमा अनेकौँ कट्टरपना धारणा राख्नि पुगेका थिए। ती धारणाहरू एक आपसमा बाझिएका थिए। ती कट्टरपन वा बाइबलको बारेमा आआफ्नै तरिकाले व्याख्या गरेर मानिसहरूलाई भुलाउने प्रवृत्तिको बारेमा परमेश्वफरले एलेनलाई दर्शनमा देखाउनु भएको थियो। ती मानिसहरूको गलत धारणाहरूलाई औँल्याउन र सच्याउन एलेनलाई अर्हा इएको थियो। यो काम एलेनको निम्ति अत्यन्तै मुश्किल हुन गएको थियो। अध्याय ४-जेम्स ह्वाइट र एलेन हार्मनको विवाह एक दिन एलेन अमेरिकाको मेन भन्ने राज्यको ओरिङ्गिटन भन्ने सहरमा यात्रा गरेकी थिइन्। त्यसबेला उनको एक जना एडभेन्टिस्ट युवा प्रचारकसँग भेट भयो। त्यो प्रचारक वर्ष २३को जेम्स ह्वाइट थिए। येशूको आगमनको सुसमाचार सुनाउने दुवै जनाको एउटै लक्ष्य भएकोले तिनीहरू मिलिजुली सेवाकार्य गर्ने थाले। तिनीहरूको एउटै मन र एउटै लक्ष्य भएकोले तिनीहरूको बीचमा स्नेह बढ्न थाल्यो। त्यसको फलस्वरुप तिनीहरूको बीचमा सन १८४६को अगस्ट महिनामा वैवाहिक विधिद्वारा संवन्धद्वारा गाँसियो। तिनीहरूको विवाह भएको केही हप्ता६सम्म जेम्स र एलेनले जोसेफ बेटसले छापेका ४६ पानाको पर्चालाई ठूलो चासो लिएर अध्ययन गर्न थाले। (जोसेफ बेटस जहाजको क्याप्टेन थिए तर पछि येशूको आगमनलाई विश्वािस गर्न पुग्दा उनले आफ्नो व्यवसायलाई थन्काएर परमेश्वहरतिर बढि ध्यान दिन थालेका थिए)। त्यो पर्चा उक्त जोसेफले अमेरिकाको मासाच्युसेट भन्ने राज्यको न्यु बेडफोर्डमा छापिएको थियो। त्यस पर्चाको शिर्षक थियो सेभेन्थ डे साबथ। त्यसमा बाइबलबाट विभिन्न पदहरू उल्लेख गरेर हप्ताकको सातौँ दिन साबथ हो भनेर त्यसको पविबतालाई बाइबलबाट प्रमाणित गरिएको थियो। (त्यसबेलासम्म एडभेन्टिस्टहरूले आइतबारलाई नै साबथ दिन हो भनेर चर्चमा आराधना गर्थे)। परमेश्वडरले आराधना वा उहाँको उपासनाको निम्ति अलग गरिएको र पवित्र बनाइएको दिन त शनिबार पो रहेछ आइतबार होइन भन्ने शिक्षा त्यस पर्चामा पढेपछि त्यसबाट प्रभावित हुँदै त्यसलाई सहमत जनाउँदै दुवै जेम्स र एलेनले शनिबारलाई साबथ भनेर पालना गर्न थाले। त्यसको करिब छ महिनापछि एलेनलाई परमेश्वलरले एउटा दर्शन दिनुभएको थियो। त्यस दर्शनमा उनलाई परमेश्व रले स्वर्गमा रहेको पवित्र मन्दिरको महापवित्र स्थानमा रहेको पवित्र सन्दुक देखाउनुभएको थियो। त्यस सन्दुकमा परमेश्वकरको दुश आज्ञाको पाटी थियो र त्यसमा भएको चौथौँ आज्ञामा विशेष ज्योतिको घेराले घेरिएको थियो। यसले साबथको शिक्षादीक्षाको महत्त्वपक्षलाई स्पष्टरूपमा बुझाउन प्रयास गरिएको थियो। एडभेन्टिस्टहरूले त्यसमा ध्यान दिनुपर्ने र त्यस शिक्षालाई अनुमोदन गर्नुपर्ने समझदारी एडभेन्टिस्टहरूमा भयो। जब जेम्स र एलेनको विवाह भएको थियो तिनीहरूको सुरुको जीवन आर्थिक अभावले गर्दा अत्यन्तै कष्टकर थियो। कहिलेकाहीँ तिनीहरूको अवस्था धेरै नाजुक हुन्थ्यो। एडभेन्टिस्ट अभियानमा लाग्ने कार्यकर्ताहरूलाई कसैबाट आर्थिक सहयोग हुँदैनथ्यो। तिनीहरू आफ्नै स्वइच्छाले आयआर्जनमा भर परेर सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्नुपर्थ्यो। त्यसकारण जेम्स ह्वाइटले सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्नुको साथै त्यसलाई सहयोग पुर्यारउन वा आफ्नो परिवारलाई सम्हाल्न कहिले रेल गुड्ने लिग बिछ्याउने काममा, कहिले जङ्गलमा गएर दाउरा काटेर बेच्ने काममा र कहिले अरूको धान काटेर पराल बाँध्ने काममा लागेका थिए। सन १८४७को अगस्ट २६मा त्यस ह्वाइट परिवारमा छोरो हेनरीको जन्म भयो। उसको जन्मले ह्वाइट परिवारमा खुशियाली, आनन्द र सान्त्वना ल्याएको थियो। तर परमेश्वेरको काममा आफूलाई घचेटिएको हुनाले सानो हेनरी आफ्ना मित्रहरूको हातमा छोडेर सुसमाचारीय काममा यात्रा गर्न थालिन्। परमेश्वफरले उनलाई सुम्पन्नुभएको सन्देश सुनाउन उनी नजिक टाढा यात्रा गर्नुपरेको थियो। अर्को केही वर्ष उनी जताततै छरिएका एडभेन्टिस्ट झुण्डहरूको बीचमा आफूले पाएको सन्देश सुनाउने यात्रामा एलेन व्यस्त भइन्। उनी एडभेन्टिस्टहरूको विभिन्न शभाहरूमा सरिक भइन्। केही वर्ष उनले विश्वाससीहरूलाई हौशला दिन र सिकाउन धेरै सामग्रीहरू पनि लेखिन्। अध्याय ५-छाप्ने काम सुरु हुन्छ सन १८४९मा जेम्स ह्वाइट अमेरिकाको कनेक्टिकट राज्यको रक्कीउ हिल भन्ने ठाउँमा गर्मी छल्न गएका थिए। त्यसबेला उनले प्रेजेन्ट ट्रुथ भन्ने महिनाको दुई पटक छाप्ने पत्रिका छापेर बितरण गर्न थाले। त्यो केवल आठ पानाको मात्रै थियो। पछि त्यही पत्रिकामा एलेन जी ह्वाइटका लेखहरू पनि छाप्न थालियो। ती लेखहरूमा उनले दर्शनमा पाएका चर्चको भविष्यको बारेमा गरेका भविष्यवाणीहरू, येशूलाई विश्वारस गर्छु भनेर दावी गर्नेहरूले त्यस अनुसार नचल्दा के हुन्छ भन्ने चेतावनी र परमेश्व्रप्रति बफादार हुने सरसल्लाहहरू अलि अलि गरेर छापेका थिए। सन १८५१ एलेन जी ह्वाइटको पहिलो पुस्तक छापिएको वर्ष थियो। उनले अ स्बेट्च अ द क्रिश्चिुयन इक्स्पिरियन्स एण्ड भ्यु अ एलेन जी ह्वाइट छापिन्। त्यो पुस्तक ६४ पानाको थियो। उहाँले सुरुसुरुमा लेखेका सामग्री र त्यसको थप जानकारी दिने सामग्री (१८५४)हरू अहिले उहाँको अर्ली राइटिङ्गस पुस्तकको पृ. ११-१२७मा पाइन्छ। सन् १८५०मा एडभेन्टिस्ट आस्थाको मुखपत्र द रिभ्यु एण्ड हेराल्ड (अहिले एडभेन्टिस्ट रिभ्यु भनिन्छ) र सन १८५२मा युथस इन्सट्रकटर (जवानहरूका निम्ति सिक्षण सामग्री) छाप्नछ सुरु गरेका थिए। सन १८५२-१८५५सम्ममा हाते प्रेसको खरिद र अरू लेखन सामग्रीहरू अमेरिकाको न्यु योर्कको रोचेस्टरमा छाप्न सुरु गरेका थिए। ती कामहरू गर्न जेम्स र एलेन ह्वाइटलाई धेरै तनाव भएको थियो। तिनीहरूले धेरै प्रयास गर्नुपरेको थियो। पैसाको ठूलो अभाव थियो। बिमार र परिवारको सदस्यको मृत्युले तिनीहरूमाथि थप समस्या थपिएको थियो। कतिपय समयमा तिनीहरू निराशाको भूमरीमा पनि परेका थिए। तर अगाडि रमाइलो र चहकिलो दिनहरू पनि थिए। सन १८५५मा मिशिगन राज्यको बाट्टल क्रिकमा एडभेन्टिस्ट विश्वा सीहरूले ती ह्वाइट दम्पतिलाई आउन निम्तो दिए। त्यहाँ तिनीहरूले छापाखाना भवनको निर्माण गर्ने बाचा दिएका थिए। यसो हेर्दा तिनीहरूको जीवन सुचारु र असल हुन गएको देखिन्थ्यो। अध्याय ६-बाट्टल क्रीकमा सर्छन् सन १८५५मा न्यु योर्कको रोचेस्टर भन्ने सहरमा भाडामा लिएका कोठाहरूबाट द रिभ्यु र हेराल्ड पब्लिशिङ्ग आसोशियशन भर्खर निर्माण भएको बाट्टल क्रिकको भवनमा सारियो। पहिलाको ठाउँमा भएका हाते प्रेस र छाप्ने औजारहरू सहित नयाँ भवनमा सारिएको थियो। मिशिगनका एडभेन्टिस्ट विश्वा्सीहरूले उदार चित्तले आर्थिक सहयोग गरेका थिए जसको फलस्वरुप नयाँ छापाखाना भवनको निर्माण भएको थियो। प्रेस सरेको केही दिनमै एल्डर र श्रीमती ह्वाइट र पुस्तक छाप्ने कार्यमा लागेका व्यक्तिहरू बाट्टल क्रिकमा आए। त्यसबेला एडभेन्टिस्ट सन्देश कसरी सुनाउने भन्ने योजना बनाउन एउटा सभाको आयोजना गरिएको थियो। त्यस सभाको अन्त्यमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटलाई छाप्ने कुराको बारेमा धेरै दर्शनहरू प्राप्त् भएको थियो। ती दर्शनहरूमा चर्चको निम्ति अत्यन्तै महत्त्वपूर्ण सन्देशहरू थिए। एलेन जी ह्वाइटले ती दर्शनहरू लेखिन र बाट्टल क्रीकको चर्चमा सबैले सुन्ने गरेर पढेर सुनाए। उनका ती सन्देशहरू चर्चका सबै विश्वारसीहरूको निम्ति उपयोगी हुने कुरामा त्यस चर्चका सहभागीहरूले सहमत जनाए। त्यसकारण तिनीहरूले ती सामग्रीहरू छाप्नुेपर्छ भनेर मत खसाले। अनि त्यसको फलस्वरुप भर्खरै स्थापना भएको प्रेसबाट १६ पानाको टेस्टिमोनिज फर द चर्च भन्ने पर्चा छापियो। त्यसपछि उनले चर्चको निम्ति सरसल्लाह, निर्देशन, चेतावनीहरूले भरिएका सामग्रीहरू ५५ वर्षसम्म एलेन जी ह्वाइटले निकाली रहिन्। ती सबै सामग्रीहरू टेस्टिमोनिज फर द चर्च भन्ने पुस्तकहरूमा छापिएका छन्। ५००० पृष्ठ भएको ती पुस्तकहरू नौ ठेलीहरू छन्। एल्डर र श्रीमती ह्वाइटको पुस्तक छाप्ने काम र चर्च संगठन गर्ने प्रक्रिया र रेल र बग्गीहरूमा यात्रा गर्ने विवरणको केही वर्षको लेखा पनि राखिएको छ। ती विवरणहरूमा तिनीहरूले भोगेका दु:खकष्टहरूको बारेमा पनि समावेश भएको छ। परमेश्विरको निम्ति काम गर्न तिनीहरूले कठ्याङ्ग्रिएको चिसोमा लामो यात्रा गर्नुपरेको र धेरै जोखिमपूर्ण यात्राहरूमा परमेश्व रले दिनुभएको विशेष सुरक्षा पनि ती विवरणमा छ। परमेश्वपरको काममा कतिपयले आक्रमण गर्दा तिनीहरूले धेरै कष्ट भोग्नुपरेको थियो जसले गर्दा कतिपय समयमा तिनीहरू निरुत्साह पनि भएका थिए। फेरि साबथ पालन गर्ने विश्वाजसीहरूको जीवनमा भएका परिवर्तनहरू र एडभेन्टिस्ट अभियानको प्रगतीको निम्ति विश्वाजसीहरूको अथक प्रयासहरूको बारेमा सुन्दा तिनीहरू अत्यन्तै उत्साहित पनि भएका थिए। अध्याय ७-"महान विवाद" अर्थात् द "ग्रेट कन्त्रोभर्सी"को बारेमा दर्शन एक आइतबार एलेन जी ह्वाइट अमेरिकाको ओहायो राज्यमा एक जना विश्वा सीको अन्त्येष्टीमा भाग लिन जानुभएको थियो। त्यो सन १८५८को कुरो थियो। अन्त्येष्टी पछि उनी र अरू मानिसहरू त्यसबेलाको लोभेटस ग्रोभ हाल बावलिङ्ग ग्रीन सार्बजनिक स्कूलमा विश्राम लिन गएका थिए। त्यसैबेला एलेन जी ह्वाइटले एउटा लामो स्वप्न दर्शन देख्नुमभयो। ख्रीष्ट र उहाँका स्वर्गदूतहरू र शैतान र उसका दूतहरूसँग भएको युगैदेखि भएको द्वन्द्वको बारेमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटलाई स्वप्नशदर्शन देखाइएको थियो। त्यसको दुई दिनपछि शैतानले उनको ज्यान लिन प्रयास गर्योइ। उनले देखेका दर्शन अरूलाई थाहा नदेओस् भनेर शैतानले उनलाई मार्न खोजेको थियो। तर परमेश्वनरको अनुग्रह र शक्तिले उर्नी बाँचिन् र परमेश्व रले उनलाई दिनुभएको अभिभारालाई शैतानले खोस्न सकेन। उनले देखेका दृष्यहरूको सम्पूर्ण वर्णन उनले लेखिन्। त्यो वर्णन २१९ पानाको थियो र स्पिरिच्युयल गिफ्टस अर्थात् आत्मिक बरदानमा छापिन्। त्यो पहिलो ठेली थियो। सन १८५८को गर्मी महिनामा द ग्रेट कन्त्रोभर्सी बिट्विन क्राइस्ट एण्ड हिज आन्जलस एण्ड शैतान आन्ड हिज आन्जल्स भने पुस्तक छापियो। यो पुस्तक एडभेन्टिस्टहरूको बीचमा प्रख्यात भयो। यसमा भएको सामग्रीको स्तरलाई सबैले अमूल्य मानेर मानिसहरूले ग्रहण गरेका थिए। यसमा दुई महाशक्तिको बीचमा भइरहेको महान् सङ्घर्षलाई चित्रण गरेको छ। विशेष गरेर यस संसारको इतिहासको अन्तमा हुने घट्नाहरूको दृष्यहरूलाई यस पुस्तकमा बढि चित्रण गरिएको छ। अध्याय ८-बाट्टल क्रिकको घर एलेन जी ह्वाइटले प्रायजसो आफूले दिन दिनै के काम गरेको वा के के घट्नाहरू भएका थिए त्यसको लेखा अर्थात् डायरीमा लेख्नुर हुन्थ्यो। उहाँ सबै समय लेख्ने् र सेवाकार्यमा लाग्नुभएको थिएन भनेर १८५०को अन्ततिर लेखिएको डायरीमा उहाँले लेख्नुरभएको थियो। घरको काममा, बिशेष गरेर आवश्यक परेका छिमेकीहरूसँग भेटघाट र पर्चा र पत्रिकालाई सिउने काममा उहाँ व्यस्त हुनुहुन्थ्यो। रिभ्यु पत्रिका छाप्नेर प्रेसमा कहिलेकाहीँ छिटोछिटो काम सिध्याउनुपर्थ्यो। त्यसबेला उहाँले सघाउनु हुन्थ्यो। सन १८६०सम्ममा ह्वाइटको परिवारमा छ जना छोराहरू भएका थिए। ती छोराहरूमा केही हप्तामदेखि १३ वर्षसम्मको छोराहरू थिए। तिनीहरूको सबभन्दा कान्छो छोरा हर्बर्ट केही महिनामात्र बाँचेको थियो। उसको मृत्युमा परिवारमा ठूलो आघात पुर्याेएको थियो। सन १८६०सम्ममा ह्वाइट परिवारको व्यस्तता चरम सिमानामा पुगेको थियो। चर्च स्थापना र कन्फरेन्स सङ्गठनको प्रयास, धेरै लेखहरूको माग, विभिन्न यात्राहरूमा र व्यक्तिगत क्रियाकलापमा ह्वाइट परिवार एकजुट भएर लागेका थिए। सन १८६३को मे महिनामा जनरल कन्फरेन्स अभ सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट संस्था स्थापना भएको थियो। यो एडभेन्टिस्ट इतिहासमा निर्णायत्मक कदम थियो। अध्याय ९-स्वास्थ शिक्षामा हुनुपर्ने सुधारको निम्ति दर्शन चर्चलाई संस्थागत भएको दुई हप्ताहपछि जेम्स र एलेन ह्वाइट मिशिगनको ओटसेगो भन्ने सहरमा शुक्रबारको दिनमा गए। त्यहाँ भएका सुसाचार प्रचारकहरूलाई हौशला दिन तिनीहरू त्यहाँ गएका थिए। भोलिपल्ट अर्थात् जुन ६मा साबथको सेवाको सुरुमा जब विश्वारसीहरू प्रार्थना गर्न शिर निहुर्यातएका थिए तब एलेनलाई विभिन्न दर्शनहरू दिइएका थिए। तिनीहरूमा शारीरिक जीवनलाई कसरी स्वस्थ राख्नुापर्छ, आत्मिक जीवन कस्तो बलियो हुनुपर्छ, खानपिनमा उचित नीतिहरू अपनाउनुपर्छ, शरीरको हिफाजत कसरी गर्नुपर्छ र प्राकृतिक उपचारको फाइदाहरू जसमा सफा हावा, घाम, व्यायाम र शुद्ध पानी किन पिउनुपर्छ भन्ने विषयहरूमा थिए। यो दर्शन भन्दा अघि सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट अभियानमा लागेका विश्वारसीहरूले केवल आत्मिक कुराहरूमामात्र ध्यान दिएका थिए। परमेश्वनरको काममा लागेका धेरै पास्टरहरू सकिनसकी खट्दथे जसले गर्दा तिनीहरू बिरामी हुन्थे। अनि तिनीहरू काम गर्न सक्दैनथे। सन १८६३को जुन ६मा एलेन ह्वाइटले पाएको दर्शनबाट भर्खरै संगठित चर्चका अगुवाहरूले पनि स्वास्थ्यमा सुधार ल्याउनु महत्त्वपूर्ण छ भनेर स्वीकारेका थिए। सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टहरूले गरिने सुसमाचार प्रचारमा स्वस्थ जीवनशैलीको बारेमा पनि समावेश हुनुपर्छ भनेर स्वीकार गरेर केही महिनापछि स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा कार्यक्रमको उद्घाहट्न भयो। स्वास्थ सम्बन्धी असल जीवनशैली अपनाउनुपर्ने सन्देशहरू छवटा पर्चामा छापियो। प्रत्येक पर्चामा ६४ पाना हुन्थ्यो। ती पर्चाहरूको शिर्षक थिए, हेल्थ अर हाउ टु लिभ अर्थात् स्वास्थ्य वा कसरी जिउने। त्यसमा भएका लेखहरूको सङ्कलन जेम्स र एलेन ह्वाइटले गरेका थिए। प्रत्येक पर्चामा एलेन जी ह्वाइटको लेख समावेश हुन्थ्यो। ह्वाइटको परिवारको सदस्य हेनरी ह्वाइटको वर्ष १६मै असमायीक निधन र जेम्स ह्वाइटको गम्भिर बिमारले गर्दा उनी तीन वर्षसम्म काम नगर्न वाध्यता भएको थियो। धेरै पास्टरहरू स्वास्थलाई ख्याल नगर्दा बिरामी भएको कारणले उनको असल स्वास्थ्यको महत्त्वपूर्ण लेखहरूले सुरुका चर्चका अगुवाहरूमा धेरै प्रभाव पारेको थियो। सन १८६५को क्रिसमसमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटलाई स्वास्थ्य शिक्षा प्रणालीको बारेमा विशेष दर्शन दिइएको थियो। त्यसको आधारमा सन १८६६मा चर्चका अगुवाहरूले वेस्टर्न हेल्थ रिफोर्म इन्स्टिच्युटको स्थापना गरे। यसको उद्घा टन सन १८६६को सेप्टेम्बर महिनामा भएको थियो। यसको उदेश्य बिरामीहरूको स्याहार गर्नु र स्वास्थ्य शिक्षाको बारेमा सिकाउनु थियो। सन १८६५देखि १८६८सम्म ह्वाइटको परिवार बाट्टल क्रिकबाट भित्र बाहिर गरेका थिए अर्थात् सुसमाचार सेवाकार्यमा टाढा नजिक यात्रा गरेका थिए। धेरै डुल्नुपर्ने स्थितिले गर्दा एल्डर ह्वाइटको स्वास्थ्यमा समस्या भयो जसले गर्दा तिनीहरू मिशिगनकै ग्रीनभिल नजिक सानो खेतबारी भएको ठाउँमा सरे। चर्चको मूख्यालयहरूबाट टाढा र त्यहाँ गरिनुपर्ने कामको चाप कम भएपछि जेम्स ह्ववाइटले चर्चको शिक्षासमन्धी सामग्रीहरू लेख्नप अवसर पाए। परमेश्वेर र शैतानको बीचमा भइरहेको महान् द्वन्द्वको बारेमा पाएको थप जानकारी पनि एलेन ह्वाइटले लेखिन्। सन १८७०मा द स्पिरिट अभ प्रोफेसी, ठेली १ छापियो। लुशिफरको पतनदेखि राजा सोलोमनको समयसम्मको कहानी त्यस पुस्तकमा लेखिएको थियो। तर समय बित्दै जाँदा त्यस विषयमा छापिने श्रृङ्खलामा वाधा आएको थियो। तर सात वर्षपछि त्यही विषयको अर्को श्रृङ्खला छापिएको थियो। अध्याय १०-सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट काम फैलिन्छ सन १८६०को अन्तमा अमेरिकाको विस्कन्सन र मिशिगन राज्यमा विभिन्न धेरै दिने सार्वजनिक सुसमाचार प्रचारको आयोजना गरिएको थियो। त्यो काम सफल भएको कारणले आउने वर्षहरूमा अझ धेरै र विस्तृतरूपमा एडभेन्टिस्ट अभियान कार्यक्रम गर्ने योजना बनाएका थिए। जेम्स ह्वाइट योजनाहरू बनाउने क्रियाकलापमा सक्रिय रहेर काम गर्नुभएको थियो। साथै शारीरिक कमजोर भएतापनि सकेसम्म आफ्नो स्वास्थले भ्यायसम्म अत्यावश्यक प्रशासकीय क्रियाकलापमा पनि उनले भाग लिएका थिए। चर्चको सुरुमा सकिनसकी उहाँ जोत्नुाभएको थियो, त्यसमा पनि सम्पादन कामको तनावपनि वढि थियो। त्यतिमात्र नभएर उनी जनरल कन्फरेन्सको अध्यक्ष पनि हुनुभएको थियो। उनी धेरै संस्थाका बोर्ड वा संचालकहरूका अध्यक्ष पनि थिए। कामको वढि चापले जेम्स ह्वाइटको शारिरिक अवस्था पनि बिग्रन थालेको थियो। एलेन ह्वाइट पनि आफ्नो श्रीमानसँग धेरै यात्राहरूमा सहभागी भए, उनले आफूले गर्नुपर्ने काम पनि गरे जसमा सुसमाचार प्रचार र व्यक्तिगत कामहरू समावेश भएका थिए। समयले भ्याए उनले आफ्नो लेख्नेा प्रयास पनि जारिराखेकी थिइन्। सन १८७२-१८७३को जाडो महिनामा श्रीमान र श्रीमती ह्वाइट क्यालिफोर्नियामा गए। त्यहाँको समुद्री किनारामा रहेका सहरहरूमा चर्च स्थापना गर्ने र चर्चलाई मजबुत पार्ने काममा तिनीहरू सक्रिय रहे। अमेरिकाको पश्चिचम प्रान्तमा चर्च स्थापना गर्ने सिलसिलामा तिनीहरू सातवर्षसम्म यात्रा गरे। जब उहाँहरू अमेरिकाको पश्चिसम प्रान्तमा थिए सन १८७४को अप्रिल महिनामाको १ तारिखमा एलेन ह्वाइटलाई एक महत्त्वपूर्ण दर्शन भयो। त्यसबेला सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट समुदायले अचम्मसँग कसरी काम गर्न सकिन्छ, त्यसलाई कसरी बिस्तारित र प्रगति गर्न सकिन्छ भन्ने सन्देश उनलाई देखाइएको थियो। त्यो काम अमेरिकाको पश्‍चिमी राज्यहरूमामात्र होइन बिदेशमा पनि फैलाउन सकिन्छ भनेर उनलाई दर्शन मिलेको थियो। केही हप्ताेपछि क्यालिफोर्नियाको ओकल्याण्डमा धेरै दिने सार्वजनिक सुसमाचार प्रचारको कामको थालनि भयो। सार्जजनिक सुसमाचार प्रचारको काममा लाग्दा एल्डर ह्वाइटले साइन्स अभ टाइम्स प्रकाशन गर्न थाले। अध्याय ११-बाट्टल क्रिक कलेज सन १८७४को अन्त्यतिर ह्वाइट परिवार मिशिगनमा फर्केका थिए। बाइबल सिकाउने संस्थामा सहयोग गर्ने काममा, साबथको सेवाकार्यमा अगुवाई गर्नेमा र सन् १८७४ जनवरी ४तारिखमा हुने बाट्टल क्रिक कलेजको समर्पण समारोहमा तिनीहरू व्यस्त थिए। त्यस कलेजको समर्पण कार्यको निम्ति अमेरिकाको विभिन्न राज्यहरूबाट प्रतिनिधिहरू आएका थिए। यो कलेज सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टको प्रथम् शैक्षिक संस्था थियो। त्यहाँ भेला भएका मानिसहरूको सामु एलेन ह्वाइटले उभिएर अघिल्लो दिन उनलाई देखाइएको दर्शको बारेमा बताएकी थिइन्। अन्तराष्ट्रिय जगतमा पनि सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट कामको बिस्तार गरिनुपर्ने र कलेजको आवश्यकताको बारेमा उनलाई दर्शन देखाइएको थियो। एलेन ह्वाइटले व्यक्त गरेका दर्शनको बारेमा जानकारी सुन्न पाउँदा त्यहाँ भेला भएका कर्मचारी र विश्वायसीहरू अत्यन्तै प्रभावित भएका थिए। उहाँले देख्नु भएको दर्शनमा अरू धेरै सन्देशहरू पनि थिए। अरू देशहरूमा पनि सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट छापाखानाहरू भएका र विश्वूको अरू देशहरूमा पनि संगठितरूपमा सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट कामहरू भएको उनले दर्शनमा देखेका थिए। त्यसबेला त्यहाँ भेला भएका कुनैले पनि ती देशहरूमा काम फैलिनुपर्ने कुरामा सोचेका थिएनन्। अध्याय ६-लेखाइ र यात्रामा निरन्तरता येशू र शैतानको बीचमा भएको भिषण अन्तरसंघर्ष र प्रेरितहरूका कामको बारेमा लेख्नेख काममा एलेन ह्वाइटले अर्को केही वर्ष बिताएकी थिइन्। सन १८७७ र १८७८मा द स्पिरित अभ प्रोफेसी, ठेली २ र ३ छापिएको थियो। क्यालिफोर्नियाको ओकल्याण्डमा पासिफिक प्रेसको स्थापना गर्न एल्डर ह्वाइट व्यस्त हुनुभएको थियो। बाट्टल क्रिक सानेटोरियम अर्थात् स्वास्थ्य संस्था र बाट्टल क्रिकमै रहेको चर्च भवनको निर्माणको निम्ति चन्दा उठाउन पनि उनी व्यस्त थिए। जब सन १८७८को सुरुको महिनामा ह्वाइटहरू क्यालिफोर्नियाको सेन्ट हेलिनामा भएको नयाँ स्वास्थ्य संस्थामा गएका थिए त्यसबेला एलेन ह्वाइटले त्यस संस्था, त्यहाँका भवनहरू र वातारण आफूले दर्शनमा देखेको चिच्याएर बताइन्। अमेरिकाको पश्चिोमी समुद्रका किनारमा रहेका सहरहरूमा एडभेन्टिस्ट कामको बिस्तारको बारेमा उनले दर्शनमा देखिएकी थिइन्। सन् १८७४मा नै देखेको पासिफिक कोस्टको संस्थाहरूमा यो तेस्रो थियो। त्यसैबेला उनले देखेका दर्शनहरूमा साइन्स अभ टाइम्स पत्रिका र पासिफिक प्रेस थियो। सन १८७० र पछि सुसमाचार सुनाउने सार्वजनिक क्याम्प सभाहरूमा एलेन ह्वाइटले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई सम्बोधन गर्नुभएको थियो। त्यसमा सबभन्दा ठूलो सभा म्यासाचुसेट राज्यको ग्रोभल्याण्डमा अगस्ट १८७७को आइतबारमा सम्बोधन गर्नुभएको थियो। त्यसबेला उनले इसाई संयमताका पक्षहरूको बारेमा बोल्नुभएको थियो। उहाँलाई सुन्नेहरू २०,००० मानिसहरू थिए। अमेरिकाको पश्चि्म, पूर्वी र पासिफिक नर्थवेस्ट राज्यहरूमा उनी धेरै यात्रा गरिन् र सुसमाचार प्रचारको कार्यक्रमहरूमा परिश्रम गरिन्। उनले जनरल कन्फरेन्सको सभाहरूमा पनि निरन्तररूपमा भाग लिइन्। क्याम्प मिटिङ्ग र चर्चमा सम्बोधन गर्ने कार्यक्रम, विभिन्न स्वास्थ्य सुधार कार्यक्रमहरूमा भाग लिने काममा, सार्वजनिक भवनहरूमा र झ्याल खानाहरूमा सम्बोधन गर्ने काममा उनी सरिक भएर आफूलाई व्यस्त राखेकी थिइन्। एल्डर ह्वाइटको स्वास्थ्य खस्किन्दै गएको बेलामा तिनीहरू टेक्सासमा सन् १८७८-१८७९को जाडो मौसममा तिनीहरू यात्रा गरेका थिएस। त्यसबेला अर्थर दानिएल र उनको श्रीमती मेरी ह्वाइट परिवारमा सम्मिलित भएका थिए। युवा अर्थर एल्डर ह्वाइटको निम्ति साथी र नर्स भएका थिए। अर्थरकी श्रीमतीले भान्सामा हेर्थिन् र घरको काम गर्थिन्। पछि अर्थर दानिएल जनरल कन्फरेन्सको अध्यक्ष भएका थिए। अध्याय १३-जेम्स ह्वाइटको मृत्यु पछिल्लो दुई वर्षहरूमा एल्डर ह्वाइटको स्वास्थ्यमा केही स्थिर भएको थियो जसले गर्दा आफ्नो काम सुचारुरूपले चलाएका थिए। तर उनी धेरै वर्षसम्म मानसिक र शारीरिक काममा ज्यादती भएर खटिन्दा उनमा भएका फुर्तिहरू घट्दै गए। सन् १८८१को अगस्ट ६मा उनको मृत्यु बाट्टल क्रीकमा भयो। अन्त्येष्टी कार्यक्रममा आफ्नो श्रीमानको कफनको छेउमा बलिन्द्र आँशु झार्दै आफूलाई परमेश्वटरले दिनुभएको जिम्मेवारी कायममै राख्दै अघि बढ्न एलेन ह्वाइटले आफ्नो प्रतिबद्धता पोखाइन्। आफ्नो श्रीमानको मृत्युभएको केही समयभित्रै एलेन ह्वाइट पासिफिक कोस्टमा यात्रा गरिन्। आफ्नो श्रीमान गुमाउनुपर्दा उनलाई भयङ्कर चोट त परेको थियो नै तैपनि आफ्नो लेखाईमा उनी व्यस्त भइन् र स्पिरित अभ प्रोफेसी श्रृङ्खलाको अन्तिम र चौथौँ ठेली लेख्नन थालिन्। येशू र शैतानको बीचमा भइरहेको भिषण संग्रामको कथाको बाँकि अंश अर्थात् यरुशलेमको बिनाश र युगको अन्त्यको जानकारी त्यस ठेलीमा प्रस्तुत गरिन्। यस जानकारीको लागि सबै विश्वाूसीहरू पर्खिरहेका थिए। जब सन १८८४मा यो पुस्तक छापिएर बाहिर निस्कियो तब धेरै पाठकहरूले त्यस पुस्तकलाई उत्साहसाथ ग्रहण गरे। घर घरमा बेच्न त्यस पुस्तकलाई सचित्र गरि सम्पादन गरियो। त्यस पुस्तकको शिर्षक द ग्रेट कन्त्रोभर्सी बिट्विन क्राइस्ट एण्ड हिज आन्जलस् एण्ड शैतान आण्ड हिज आन्जलस् थियो। तीन वर्षभित्र त्यो पुस्तक ५०,००० प्रति बेचियो। अध्याय १४-एलेन ह्वाइट युरोमा यात्रा गर्छिन् एलेन जी ह्वाइट र उनको छोरो डब्दु सी ह्वाइटलाई युरोपमा भएका सुसमाचारीय निकायहरूमा यात्रा गर्न जनरल कन्फेरेन्स अर्थात् सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टको मुख्यालयले अनुरोध गर्दै थिए। उनी त्यसतर्फ यात्रा गर्न सुरसार गरिन्। तर उनीसँग नजिक भएर काम गर्ने मित्रहरूलेचाहीँ उनको शारीरिक अस्वस्थतालाई देखेर उनी युरोपको लामो यात्रा गर्न सक्दैनन् भनेर सोचेका थिए। मिसनप्रति बफादार भएकी एलेन जी ह्वाइटले मिसनको उत्थान गर्नु आफ्नो कर्तव्य ठानेकी थिइन्। परमेश्व रले उनलाई आबश्यक सुस्वास्थ्य दिनुभएको थियो जसले गर्दा उनी युरोपको लामो जहाजीय यात्रा गरिन्। सन् १८८५को अन्त्यदेखि सन १८८७को गृष्मकालिनसम्म उनी युरोपको विभिन्न देशहरूमा यात्रा गरिन्। त्यसबेला स्विटजरल्याण्डको बेसेलमा सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टका मूख्य कार्यालयहरू थिए। त्यहीँबाट युरोपको विभिन्न देशहरूमा कामको रेखदेख गरिन्थ्यो। एलेन जी ह्वाइट त्यहाँ केही समय रहेर बिलायत, जर्मनी, फ्रान्स, इटाली, डेनमार्क, नर्वे र स्वीडनमा कामको सिलसिलामा यात्रा गरिन्। इटालीको एउटा गाउँको उपत्यकामा उनको बिशेष चासो थियो। त्यस ठाउँमा अन्धकार युग र धर्म सुधार आन्दोलनको समयमा केवल बाइबललाईमात्र विश्वाँस गर्ने येशूभक्त वाल्दनिसियनहरू लुकेर परमेश्वेरको आराधना गर्दथे। पोपलाई होइन केवल येशू र बाइबलमात्र विश्वा स गर्ने इसाईहरूलाई रोमन क्याथोलिक चर्चले कमसेकम हजार वर्षसम्म सताएको थियो। ती सतावतको युगमा वाल्दनिसियनहरू इटालीको गाउँमा लुकेका थिए (१२रौँ शताब्दीमा रोमन क्याथोलिक चर्चको पोप र त्यसको केही शिक्षा नमानेकोले रोमन क्याथोलिक चर्चले तिनीहरूलाई खेदेका थिए)। एलेन जी ह्वाइटलाई उनको दर्शनमा वाल्डनिसयनहरू लुकैको गाउँहरू देखाएका थिए। उनी ती गाउँहरूमा दुई पटक यात्रा गरिन्। स्विटजरल्याण्डको बेसेल र नर्वेको क्रिस्टिना (अहिले ओस्लो)मा रहेका छापाखानाहरूलाई एलेन जी ह्वाइटलाई सन १८७५को जनवरी ३मा दर्शनमा देखाइएको थियो। त्यस दर्शनमा उनले उत्तर अमेरिकाभन्दा बाहिर देशमा रहेका छापाखानाहरूलाई देखाइएको थियो। जब एलेन जी ह्वाइट युरोपमा थिइन् तब उनले चर्चका अगुवा र कर्मचारीहरूलाई चर्च स्थापना गर्ने उचित नीति र योजनाहरूको बारेमा सरसल्लाह दिएकी थिइन्। अध्याय १५-द ग्रेट कन्त्रोभर्सी एण्ड पाट्रियार्कस एण्ड प्रोफेटस स्पिरित अभ प्रोफेसी, ठेली ४ अङ्ग्रेजी भाषामा एलेन जी ह्वाइटले लेख्नु भएको थियो। त्यो किताब युरोपको अरु भाषाहरूमा पनि अनुवाद गर्न माग गर्न थालिएको थियो। त्यसको फलस्वरुप युरोपका विभिन्न स्थानहरू समेतिएका दृष्यहरूलाई समावेश गर्दै येशू र शैतानको बीचमा भइरहेको महान् संघर्षको बारेमा अझ पूर्णरूपमा लेख्नुरपर्ने एलेन जी ह्वाइटले महसुस गरिन्। त्यसको फलस्वरुप द स्प्रिट अभ प्रोफेसी ठेली ४, अहिले हामीमा आएको पुस्तक द ग्रैट कन्त्रोभर्सी छापियो। यो सन १८८८मा पहिलो पल्ट छापिएको थियो। युरोपबाट फर्किएपछि अमेरिकाको क्यालिफोर्नियाको हिल्डसबर्ग भन्ने ठाउँमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटले आफ्नो घर स्थापना गरिन्। सन १८८८मा अमेरिकाको मिनियोसोटाको मिनियापोलिस भन्ने सहरमा जनरल कन्फरेन्स सभा भएको थियो। त्यो एलेन जी ह्वाइट रहेको ठाउँदेखि करिब २५०० किलोमिटर थियो। त्यति टाढा भएतापनि लामो यात्रा गरेर उनी त्यस सभामा सरिक भइन्। त्यसपछि उनी केही महिना विभिन्न ठाउँहरूमा यात्रा गरिन् र प्रवचन दिइन्। विश्वािसबाटमात्र धार्मिकता पाइन्छ भन्ने शिक्षामा कतिपय सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टहरूमा मतभिन्नता आएको थियो। उनले ठाउँ ठाउँमा गएर त्यस शिक्षाको बारेमा सिकाउँदै चर्चमा एकता ल्याउन प्रयास गरिन्। त्यसै समय उनले पाट्रियार्क एण्ड प्रोफेटस् किताब लेखिन र सन १८९०मा यो पुस्तक छापियो। अध्याय १६-अस्ट्रेलियामा जान एलेन जी ह्वाइटलाई अनुरोध गरिन्छ सन १८९१मा भएको जनरल कन्फरेन्सको सभामा अस्ट्रेलियामा जान जरुरी अनुरोध एलेन जी ह्वाइटलाई गरियो। त्यहाँ भर्खर सुरु भएको चर्चको काममा सघाउन र त्यहाँका विश्वावसीहरूलाई सरसल्लाह दिन उनको सहयोग मागिएको थियो। त्यो अनुरोधलाई स्वीकार्दै एलेन जी ह्वाइट अस्ट्रेलियामा लामो जहाजको यात्रा गरिन्। सन १८९१को डिसेम्बर महिनामा उनी अस्ट्रेलिया पुगिन्। उनको साथमा उनको छोरो एल्डर डब्ल्यु सी ह्वाइट र अरू सहयोगीहरू पनि गएका थिए। उहाँका आगमनले नयाँ विश्वाडसीहरूमा नयाँ उत्साह, जोश र उमङ्ग आएको थियो। उनले सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टको कामको बिस्तारको बारेमा सरसल्लाह दिइन्। त्यसले गर्दा दक्षिणी महादेशमा सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टको विभिन्न निकायहरूका जगहरू राम्रोसँग बसालियो। यहाँ स्थापना भएका छापाखानाहरू एलेन जी ह्वाइटले सन १८७५को जनवरी महिनामा देखेकी दर्शनमा चिनिन्। अस्ट्रेलिया आएको केही महिनामा नै एलेन जी ह्वाइटले त्यहाँ शिक्षण संस्था खोल्ने आवश्यकताको महसुस गरिन्। सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट युवायुवतीहरू इसाई वातावरणमै शिक्षित बनाउनुपर्ने र आफ्नो घर र बाहिर टापु क्षेत्रहरूमा सेवा गर्ने कर्मचारी अर्थात् सेवकहरू उत्पादन गर्नुपर्ने सपना उनले देखेकी थिइन्। स्कूल खोल्न उहाँका धेरै बलियो अनुरोधहरूलाई स्वीकार्दै त्यहाँका सेभेन्थ-डे एडेन्टिस्टहरूले अस्ट्रेलियाकै सहर मेलबर्नमा सन १८९२मा बाइबल स्कूलको स्थापना गरियो। दुई वर्षसम्म त्यो स्कूलका भवनहरू भाडामा लिएर चलाएका थिए। त्यसैबेला एलेन जी ह्वाइटले मुखबाट र लेखबाट सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट स्कूल सहरमा होइन गाउँतिर हुनुपर्छ भनेर आह्वान गरिन्। अध्याय १७-आभोन्डेल स्कूल अस्ट्रेलियाको गाउँ तथा खुला वातावरणमा स्कूल खोल्ने गृहकार्यमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटसहित विश्वारसीहरू लागेका थिए। जग्गा खोज्ने तरखरमा लाग्दा आभोन्डेल भन्ने ठाउँमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटको सल्लाह अनुसार तिनीहरूले उपयुक्त जग्गा भेट्टाए। जब त्यो स्थान उपलब्ध गर्न परमेश्वकरबाट एलेन जी ह्वाइटलाई स्पष्टरुपमा आभास् दिनुभयो तब त्यो जग्गा तिनीहरूले किने। अनि विश्वालसीहरूको सुरुको प्रयासलाई टेवा दिन एलेन जी ह्वाइटले पनि नयाँ खोलिने स्कूलको नजिकै आफूलाई पुग्ने जति जग्गा किनुभयो र त्यहाँ आफ्नो घर बनाउनुभयो। आभोन्डेल क्षेत्रमा आभोन्डेल स्कूलको पनि स्थापना भयो। सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टमा शिक्षा निकाय कस्तो हुनुपर्छ भनेर नमुनाको रुपमा चलाउन परमेश्वेरले आभास् दिनुभएको थियो। अस्ट्रेलियामा बिकसित भइरहको परमेश्वारको काम सुसंगठित र व्यवस्थित ढङ्गले चलोस् भनेर सन १८९४मा अस्ट्रेलियालाई युनियन कन्फरेन्समा संगठित गरियो। एडभेन्टिस्ट इतिहासमा यो पहिलो युनियन कन्फरेन्स थियो। नयाँ युनियन कन्फरेन्सको संगठनमा सक्रिय भाग लिनेमा एल्डर ए.जी दानिएल पनि हुनुहुन्थ्यो। उहाँलाई उहाँका श्रीमतीसहित सन् १८८६मा सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्न न्यु जिलाण्डमा पठाइएको थियो। चर्चको सेवाकार्यमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटसँगको सहकार्य र उहाँका सल्लाह अनुसार उहाँ चल्नुभएको थियो। चर्चमा धेरै प्रशासनिक समस्याहरू आएका थिए तर उहाँले तिनीहरूलाई कुशलतापूर्वक सम्हाल्नुभएको थियो। उहाँको कुशल नेतृत्व र प्रशासनिक दक्षताले गर्दा सन १९०१को जनरल कन्फरेन्सको साधारण सभाले उहाँलाई जनरल कन्फरेन्सको अध्यक्षमा मनोनित गरिएको थियो। अध्याय १८-स्वास्थ्य तथा चिकित्सा क्षेत्रमा काम सुरु हुन्छ अस्ट्रेलियाको आभोन्डेलमा शिक्षासम्बन्धि काम सुरु भएको लगत्तै विश्वालसीहरूलाई स्वास्थ्य तथा चिकित्सा क्षेत्रमा तालिम दिएर सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्न आवश्यकता महसुस गरिएको थियो। तदअनुसार स्वास्थ्यद्वारा सुसमाचार प्रचार गर्ने कार्यक्रम गर्न स्वास्थ्य संस्थाको गठन गर्न आह्वान गरियो। यस कार्यमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटले आफ्नो बलियो नैतिक समर्थनमात्र जनाएनन् आफूसँग भएको सिमित आम्दानीले पनि सानिटोरियम अर्थात् आरोग्य निवास बनाउन सम्भब बनाउनभयो। एलेन जी ह्वाइट अस्ट्रेलियाको नौ वर्षको बसाइमा धेरै चर्चहरू स्थापना भएका थिए। जहाँ जहाँ चर्चको निर्माण भयो त्यहाँ त्यहाँ त्यस चर्चको उद्घाूटन गर्न जानुभएको थियो। प्रायजसो ती चर्चहरूको निर्माणमा उहाँले आर्थिक सहायता पनि गर्नुभएको थियो। परमेश्व्रको निम्ति स्थानीय क्षेत्रमा काम बढाउन सुरुमा उहाँले अग्रज भूमिका खेल्नुभएको थियो। त्यो कामको साथै उहाँले हजारौँ पानाहरूद्वारा समसामयीक सरसल्लाहहरू देश र विदेशका एडभेन्टिस्ट अगुवाहरू लेखेर दिनुभएको थियो। प्रत्येक हप्तालमा छापिने रिभ्यु, साइनस र इसन्ट्रकटरमा पत्रिकाहरूमा उहाँले लेख पठाउनु हुन्थ्यो। उहाँको ठूलो व्यस्तताले गर्दा उहाँले चाहेको येशूको जीवनीको पुस्तक निकाल्न ढिलो भएको थियो। सन १८९८मा येशूको जीवनी भएको पुस्तक द डिजाएर अभ एजेज पुस्तक लेख्नन सकिएको थियो र छापिएको पनि थियो। त्यसको दुई वर्षपछि थटस् फ्रम द माउन्ट अभ ब्लेशिङ्गस छापियो। अनि सन् १९००मा क्राइस्ट अबजेक्ट लेसनस र टेस्टिमोनिज फर द चर्च, ठेली ६ पनि प्रेसबाट निस्किएको थिए। अध्याय १९-अफ्रिकी-अमेरिकनहरूको बीचमा चर्चको काम बिस्तार अमेरिकाको दक्षिण क्षेत्रमा अफ्रिकाबाट आएका धेरै मानिसहरू अमेरिकाको नागरिक भएर बसोबास गरेका थिए। ती क्षेत्रमा सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट सुसमाचार सुनाउन एलेन जी ह्वाइटले सन १८९१मा चर्चको अगुवाहरूलाई अनुरोध गरेकी थिइन्। त्यसको तीन वर्षपछि उहाँको एक जना छोरा, जेम्स एडसन ह्वाइटले त्यस क्षेत्रमा रहेको मिसिसिपी नदीमा चलाउन बाफले चल्ने डुङ्गा बनाए। त्यस डुङ्गामा यात्रा गरेर मिसिसिपी र टेनस्सीमा भएका अफ्रिकी मूलका अमेरिकनहरूलाई उनले सुसमाचार सुनाए। त्यस डुङ्गालाई उनले करिब दश वर्ष प्रयोग गरेका थिए। सन १८९५ र १८९६मा एलेन जी ह्वाइटले अमेरिकाको दक्षिण क्षेत्रमा रहेका अफ्रो-अमेरिकीहरूलाई सुसमाचार सुनाउन प्रयास गरिनुपर्छ भनेर एडभेन्टिस्ट चर्चको मुखपत्र रिभ्यु एण्ड हेराल्डमा लेखहरू छापिन्। त्यस क्षेत्रमा काम गर्ने चर्चका सेवकहरूलाई उनले सरसल्लाह र उत्साह दिइन्। अल्बामाको हन्टसभिल गाउँमा ओकउड कलेज स्थापना गर्न जोरदार समर्थन र सहायता गरिन्। त्यस क्षेत्रमा रहेका युवा अफ्रिकी-अमेरिकनहरूलाई शिक्षा दिन त्यो कलेज स्थापना भएको थियो। सन् १९०४मा त्यस कलेजका विद्यार्थी र शिक्षकहरूलाई सम्बोधन गर्ने क्रममा यो भनिन्न, "यस स्कूल यस स्थानमा हुनु पर्ने परमेश्वकरको लक्ष्य थियो।" एलेन जी ह्वाइटले आफ्ना बाँकि जीवनकालभरि अमेरिकाको दक्षिण राज्यमा रहेका अश्वेितहरूमा चर्चको काममा निरन्तररूपमा गहिरो चासो देखाएकी थिइन्। अध्याय २०-अमेरिका फर्किनुहुन्छ एक दिन सन १९००मा एलेन जी ह्वाइटले उनका सहयोगीहरूलाई छक्क् पार्ने गरि भनिन् कि उनी अमेरिका फर्कनैपर्छ भनेर एक रात परमेश्व रले भन्नुभयो। उनी अस्ट्रेलियामा नै थिइन्। त्यस देशमा भइरहेको कामको परिवेशमा उनी अमेरिका फर्कनुपर्ने कुरो उपयुक्त थिएन। तर आफ्नो चर्चको मामिलामा आफ्नो आँखा राखिरहुनहुने र भविष्य थाहा पाउने परमेश्व्रलाई उनको उपस्थिति अमेरिकामा खाँचो भएको थाहा थियो। शताब्धीको सुरुमा भएका चर्चका विभिन्न शङ्कटहरूमा उहाँको खाँचो थियो। उनी फर्केर क्यालिफोर्नियाको सेन्ट हेलेनाभन्ने सहरबाट केही माइल टाढा आफ्नो घर एलम्साहेभेनमा बनाइन्। त्यहाँ उनी उनको जीवनको बाँकि १५ वर्ष बिताइन्। त्यसबेला उनले पुस्तकहरू बनाउन, लेखहरू लेख्‍न, व्यक्तिगतरूपमा सेवाकार्य गर्न र यात्रा गर्न समय बिताइन्। सेन्ट हेलेनामा आफ्नो बसाइसराइ गरेको केही समय लगत्तै उनलाई सन १९००मा हुने जनरल कन्फरेन्सको साधारण सभामा सरिक हुन अनुरोध गरिएको थियो। त्यो सभा मिशिगन राज्यको बाट्टल क्रीकमा हुनेभएको थियो। त्यो सभा महत्त्वपूर्ण थियो। त्यसबेला उनले साहसीकासाथ सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट जनरल कन्फरेन्सको कामलाई गतिशिल दिन त्यस निकायलाई पुनर्गठन आह्वान गरिन्। त्यहाँ भेला भएका प्रतिनिधीहरूले उनको आह्वानलाई समर्थन गरे। त्यसबेला जनरल कन्फरेन्सका निकायहरू केवल थोरै मानिसहरूलेमात्र सम्हालेका थिए। बढिरहेको चर्चमा अझ विभिन्न निकायहरूको आवश्यक भएकोले ती निकायहरूको गठन गर्दै तिनीहरूलाई सम्हाल्न विभिन्न जिम्मेवारी मानिसहरूलाई नियुक्त गरिएको थियो। जनरल कन्फरेन्स र स्थानीय कन्फरेन्सको बीचमा समन्वय गर्न युनियन कन्फरेन्सहरू गठन गर्ने योजना भएको थियो। ती कदमहरूले सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट चर्चको काममा बिकास गर्न र ठूलोमात्रामा बिस्तारित गर्न सहयोग मिलेको थियो। दुई वर्षपछि एलेन जी ह्वाइटकै सरसल्लाह अनुसार रिभ्यु एण्ड हेराल्ड आसोशियशन बाट्टल क्रीकबाट अमेरिकाको पूर्वी क्षेत्र मेरिल्याण्डको टाकोमा पार्कमा सारियो। यो स्थान अमेरिकाको राजधानी वाशिङ्गटन डीसीको आसपासमा थियो। यसबेला एलेन जी ह्वाइटले क्यालिफोर्नियाको आफ्नो घरबाट टाकोमा पार्कमा घर बनाएर सरिन्। कमसेकम पाँच महिनासम्म उनले त्यहाँबाट आफ्नो काम गरिन्। त्यहाँ सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्ट चर्चको मूख्यालय स्थापना भएको थियो। उनको त्यस इलाकामा भएको उपस्थिति र उहाँको निर्णयले अमेरिकाको पूर्वी क्षेत्रमा स्थापना भएको चर्चका मूख्यालयहरूमा टेवा मिलेको थियो। अध्याय २१-अन्तिम व्यस्त वर्षहरू सन १९०५मा एलेन जी ह्वाइटले मिनिस्ट्री अभ हिलिङ्ग पुस्तक छापिन्। मानिसको शारीरिक, मानसिक र आत्मिक जीवनलाई कसरी स्वस्थ राख्नेा भन्ने सम्बन्धमा त्यो किताब लेखिएको थियो। सन १९०२मा सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टका शिक्षण संस्थामा प्रचलित र सही शिक्षा के हो भन्ने व्याख्या गर्ने पुस्तक एजुकेशन छापीएको थियो। सन १९०२ र १९०४मा एक पछि अर्को गरेर टेस्टिमोनिज फर द चर्च, ठेली ७,८ छापिएको थियो। जब उनी वाशिङ्गटनमा थिइन् त्यसबेला दक्षिण क्यालिफोर्नियामा रहेका चर्चका अगुवाहरूलाई लोमालिन्डा भन्ने ठाउँमा स्वास्थ्य केन्द्र स्थापनाको निम्ति जग्गा किन्न प्रोत्साहन दिइन्। त्यस क्षेत्र वा पासिफिक कोस्टमा शिक्षाको माध्यमबाट स्वास्थ्यको बारेमा सिकाएर परमेश्वसरको काम गर्न उनले आह्वान गरेकी थिइन्। केही वर्ष उनले आफ्नो कामलाई पन्छाएर लोमालिन्डाका कर्मचारीहरूलाई उत्साह दिन बेलाबेलामा त्यहाँ यात्रा गरिन् साथै क्यालिफोर्नियाकै सान डियगोको नजिक पाराडाइज भ्याली सानिटोरियममा पनि त्यहाँका कर्चारीहरूलाई सरसल्लाह र उत्साह दिन पनि गएकी थिइन्। यो स्वास्थ केन्द्र सन १९०३मा स्थापना गर्न उनले सहयोग गरेकी थिइन्। जब उनी ८१ वर्षकी थिइन् एलेन जी ह्वाइटले वाशिङ्गटनमा भएको सन १९०९को जनरल कन्फरेन्सको साधारण सभामा भाग लिन क्यालिफोर्नियाबाट गएकी थिइन्। त्यस सभामा उनले धेरै पल्ट स्पष्ट आवाजले सम्बोधन गरेकी थिइन्। जनरल कन्फरेन्सको सभा पछि मेनको पोर्टल्याण्डमा रहेको आफ्नो पुरानो घरमा जाने लामो समयसम्म राखिरहेको हृदयको चाहना पूरा गरिन्। त्यस स्थानमा रहेको सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टको निम्ति ऐतिहासिक महत्त्वको संरचनामा गएर आफ्नो गवाही सुनाइन्। ६५ वर्ष पहिले प्रभुको काम उनले त्यहाँबाट सुरु गरेकि थिइन्। अमेरिकाको पूर्वी राज्यहरूमा यो उहाँको अन्तिम यात्रा थियो। त्यस स्थानमा रहेका सेभेन्थ-डे एडभेन्टिस्टहरू र जनरल कन्फरेन्समा उहाँलाई भेटेका विश्वाेसीहरूमा उहाँका गवाहीहरूले लामो समयसम्म बल्दोजल्दो प्रभाव पारेको थियो। त्यसपछि यस संसारमा उनको जीवन थोरै समयमात्र छ भनेर थाहा पाएर आफ्नो घर एल्मसाहेभेनमा बसेर धेरै पुस्तकहरू तयार गर्न अथक प्रयास गरिन्। चर्चलाई सुचारुरुपले चलाउन उनले धेरै महत्त्वपूर्ण निर्देशनहरू प्रस्तुत गरेर पुस्तकहरू लेखेकी थिइन्। सन १९०१मा टेस्टिमोनिज फर द चर्च, ठेली ९, छापिन्। सन् १९११मा येशूका चेलाहरूको बारेमा लेखेको पुस्तक प्रेसबाट देखापर्यो्। सन १९१३मा बाबुआमा र शिक्षकहरूलाई सल्लाह दिन काउन्सिल टु पारेन्टस एण्ड टिचर्स छापिन्। सन १९१४मा सुसमाचार प्रचारकहरूको निम्ति अत्यन्तै उपयोगी पुस्तक गस्पल वर्कर्स तयार गरिन् र प्रेसमा पठाइयो। उनको बाँकि सक्रिय महिनाहरूमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटले पाट्रयार्क एण्ड किङ्गस् लेख्नक आफ्नो समय समर्पित गरिन्। सन १९१५को फेब्रुअरी महिनाको १३ तारिखको दिन एल्मसाहेभेनमा रहेको आफ्नो आरामदायक अध्ययन कोठामा जाने क्रममा केही बस्तुसँग ठेस खाएर लडिन् र उनी उठ्न सकिनन्। उनलाई सहयोग गर्न मानिसहरू बोलाइयो र त्यो दुर्घट्ना गम्भिर खालको थियो भनेर तिनीहरूले महसुस गरे। उनको बायाँ हिप भाँचेको भनेर एक्स-रेले देखायो। त्यसको फलस्वरुप उनी पाँच महिनासम्म आफ्नै ओछ्यान वा ह्विलचेयरमा परिरहिन्। जब उहाँका आफन्त र मित्रहरू भेट्न आए तब तिनीहरूले उहाँलाई हँसिलो नै देखेका थिए। परमेश्वफरले दिनुभएको काम विश्वारससाथ सम्पन्न गरिएको भावनाहरू उनले आफ्ना अन्तिम दिनहरूमा व्यक्त गरेका थिए। उनले प्रयास गरेको सत्यको कामले अन्त्यमा विजयी पाउने छ भन्ने कुरामा उनी ढुक्कि भएकी थिइन्। सन १९१५को जुलाई महिनाको १६ तारिखमा ८७को उमेरमा एलेन जी ह्वाइटले आफ्नो जीवनको अन्तिम सास फेरिन्। उनलाई उनकै श्रीमान जेम्स ह्वाइटको चिहान निर येशू नआउँञ्जेिल बिश्राम गराइन्। यो मिशिगन राज्यको बाट्टल क्रिकमा रहेको ओक हिल सिमेटरी वा चिहान थियो जुन अहिले पनि छ। एलेन जी ह्वाइटको जीवनभरि एडभेन्टिस्ट अभियान सानो झुण्डबाट बढेर १३६,८७९ विश्वाीसीहरू भएको उनले देखेकी थिइन्। आज (सन् २०२०) त्यो संख्या बढेर दुई करोडभन्दा बेसी एडभेन्टिस्टहरू संसारमा छरिएका छन्। -जुलाई २०, २०२० अनुवाद
