8. Two Visitors
Visitors from “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens 1843 – a play on Luke 16:27 "And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house-- 28 for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' 29 "But Abraham *said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' 30 "But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!' 31 "But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'"

- The first says the second will answer all
The first says his time will end
The first says when the second will come
He also said that we would know he came by signs and wonders

18. The Testimony of Both Testaments
OLD
NEW

19. Why Does This Matter?
Many misidentify the testimony of the First - By believing it pointed PAST the cross - By believing it would not go away - By believing it believed itself indefinite
Past the cross – premillennialism
Not go away – Sabbath keeping
Indefinite – 10 commandment keeping

20. Why Does This Matter?
Many misidentify the testimony of the Last - By believing it will be replaced - By believing more witnesses will come - By believing it does NOT answer all
Replacement – Mormonism, Islam
More witnesses – modern miracles, modern prophets
Miraculous indwelling, inability to understand scriptures

21. Why Does This Matter? We need to be confident in the testimony
Not seek other revelations
Not look to the wrong testament
Looking at the New as the answer to all
