Telugu Sabbath School

This week’s lesson wraps up our study, highlighting the final developments in the cosmic war between God and Satan.

This week, we focus on several key elements of the end-time preparation of God’s people.

Biblical prophecy forewarns that the long cosmic conflict between the two opposite, irreconcilable forces, God and the devil, is drawing to a close and will culminate in a final battle. This last battle will be over issues of authority and worship.

Spiritualism is part of the devil’s scheme to promote the diabolical theory that we are gods and can live without God. Thus, spiritualism is the devil’s device to keep humanity on his side of the great controversy.

The law of God, which includes the Sabbath, is eternal and immutable because it represents God’s being, character, status as Creator and King of the universe, and His principles for life and relationships. The heavenly sanctuary is the seat of God’s government and of His salvation.

Seventh-day Adventists realized that the doctrine of the heavenly sanctuary was not only an important biblical teaching but was the central tenet of a biblical theology that connected other doctrines.

The “present truth” message as discovered by William Miller through a literal reading of Scripture focused on the hope in the soon appearing of the Messiah.

This study centers on the foundational role, authority, and power of the Word of God in the great controversy. Specifically, we will focus our attention on the Word of God as represented by the two witnesses who preached in sackcloth for the prophetic period of 1,260 years.

The study this week highlights three central principles that characterize the great controversy.

This week, we continue to witness the church’s stand on the side of God in the great controversy, throughout the periods of the Middle Ages and during the Reformation.

This week we watch as the apostolic, and the post-apostolic, church enters the great controversy between God and Satan.

Jesus’ instruction in Matthew 24 clearly outlines last-day events in the context of Jerusalem’s fall.
