How It All Ends! (White Horse Series) by Dr. Richard Ruhling Amazon.com An increasing number of people are wondering, Are we getting to the biblical end-times? The answer is YES, but most people do not know that Muslims will precipitate it as seen in Christ's warning for Jerusalem. We can expect the war against Israel to escalate with Jerusalem taken as Zechariah 14 shows. Hezbollah has already joined with Hamas. In Hebrew, hamas is translated as violence in Genesis 6:13. God knew what was coming. and the Bible says, "The Lord shall roar from Jerusalem...the heavens and earth shall shake," Joel 3:16. That earthquake will be felt worldwide as it initiates the biblical end-times. God won't do anything without revealing it, Amos 3:7, and the next verse is the "roar" that He wants to reveal. The “roar” is one of four ways the earthquake is encoded in Revelation. The last of seven churches, lukewarm with materialism, ended in an earthquake also encoded as a “knock” circa 63 AD. And the message to that church has 7 parallels to Luke's wedding parable where, when Christ “knocks,” The passage links a Biblical meaning to current events, and if we understand, we can move forward to be part of Christ's kingdom after His knock (earthquake).About the author Richard Ruhling, MD, MPH was board-certified in Internal Medicine and taught Health Science at Loma Linda University. NIH gifted his school $40 million for a study to learn why the community lived about seven years longer than other non-smokers. The study supports the benefits of a vegan or vegetarian diet and many diseases are reversible if we eat wisely. Ruhling's wife died from another MD's prescription for a urinary infection and Ruhling visited US senators with medical literature showing that prescription drugs are a leading cause of illness and death. One senator said, “You are wasting your time—they own us,” speaking of drug company donations to their re-election campaigns. Ruhling was reared a Seventh-day Adventist, but now sees all denominations as stuck in their own history and closed to new truth from the Bible. His latest book, From Lockdown to knockdown The Fall of America & New World Order. It points to Judgment for US in 2023. It shows how judgment fell on Egypt for killing Israelite babies and how the US has aborted 60 million and enslaved most people in substance abuse and negative lifestyles.

Dr. Stéphane Beaulieu is the Chair of the Department of Religious Studies at Burman University. In this conversation he shares his remarkable journey from working as a truck driver and high school dropout in Québec to achieving his doctoral degree. He recounts how his conversion to Adventism in his late teens sparked a passion for learning, leading him to pursue pastoral ministry. Now leading the only Adventist religious studies department in Canada, Stéphane discusses the unique vision of Canadian Adventist education, emphasizing contextual ministry, mentorship, and practical experience. He addresses the complexities of training pastors in a secular accreditation environment, the integration of theory and practice, and the challenges of attracting young people to ministry in an era marked by cultural shifts and perceived decline in church relevance. Candid and thoughtful, Stéphane offers a hopeful yet realistic look at the future of church leadership and theology training in Canada.

The author, a pastor and educator, reflects on how his experiences in health care have reshaped his approach to ministry. He emphasizes the integration of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual care in ministry, inspired by the Adventist health message, and advocates for addressing the social determinants of health to promote whole-person well-being.

Part 10 In concluding this series on the Seventh-day Adventist Church, examination is given to some of the common heresies shared among the sister cults that emerged from the broader Adventist movement in the mid-nineteenth century, arising from the failed predictions of William Miller, including Jehovah's Witnesses and Christadelphians.  In this teaching, these common doctrinal heresies shall be explored and briefly refuted.   To wrap up this series, consideration shall be given to the different positions within Adventism, namely the traditionalists vs. the progressives.  Which side of the fence does the Adventist Church fall on today, and in the final analysis, is Seventh-day Adventism a cult?
