Practica Prophetica

The message of this book is the foundation and beginning of that light which is to shine over the whole world in these final days. That light is the presentation of God’s glorious character as presented in, and seen through, the life of His son, Jesus Christ.

At the fall, man was deceived by lies about God’s character. Therefore, what will end the great controversy is a presentation (by word and life) of the truth about God’s character.

Satan also attacked the Law of God, but in reality, the Law and character of God are one and the same. The Law is an expression of God’s character. All God asks is for His subjects to be like Him. Therefore, He keeps His own Law…it is a part of His nature.

These are some of the foundational principles that this book explores, and then applies to various situations in the Old and New Testament where it seems like God is acting contrary to His law. In every case, a new and better understanding of God’s actions can be found, when viewed through the magnifying glass of the life of Jesus Christ. 636p

Isaiah 40
⁹ O Zion, that brings good tidings, get up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that brings good tidings, lift up your voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

Note: Someone once asked me how the message on God’s character came about. Fred actually explained it once at a camp meeting in 1974 (the year when this message was first preached). I’ve transcribed this explanation and you can download it below (or listen to the Audio presentation here: 1974 Arizona (look for Study 6, the historical account starts after 17:50).

I’m also offering an editorial from the News Review of August 1974, where Fred explains how the message on God’s character was received by the church, and how the difficult questions were answered. These two items are now included in the Appendix of the book, but here they are for individual download:
