18:27:28 From Victoria T. : could a parable be also called a pattern? 18:29:31 From Victoria T. : Amen 18:32:56 From Victoria T. : Amen 18:36:36 From Victoria T. : yes. I was going to say U-turn. Lol. But turning point is a better term. 18:38:06 From Victoria T. : why does it say 2550? 18:46:00 From Suzan Field : So could we say that Trump and Putin are like a Constantine and Justinian east and west, Russian orthodox and apostate protestantism? 18:53:54 From Suzan Field : It could also be an increase of knowledge when the angel lands 18:55:02 From Victoria T. : HIS STORY repeats. It's like stories are being replayed over and over again. I believe the key is recognizing the pattern/parable because you learn how to follow the right pattern and what pattern not to repeat. 18:57:30 From ChristineFrancisco : Jesus speaking to the crowds from the boat just off the shore 18:59:49 From Angela MLB : Gen 1:2,6,7.

Sitting in the counsel of the ungodly 19:17:30 From Victoria T. : This is so interesting learning the terms because the Lord has allowed me to experience studying the Bible and grasping the Word as we are in using the parables without knowing these terms and methods, which was the Holy Spirit aiding me-- like when reading through Proverbs. There are so many riddles it helps the mind to exercise. But now that I am coming to understand the method of parables and terms as we are will only broaden my understanding. Praise God! 19:19:26 From Victoria T. : amen 19:22:18 From Angela MLB : Ps 77:13 God's way is in the sanctuary, contrasted with Ps 119:101 -- we are to hate every false way 19:22:45 From Larry G. : Louis F Were did some of these patterns in the 1950's. 19:36:06 From Lana S : 7 times 7=49 19:43:14 From ChristineFrancisco : The word Lion comes up in the Bible 81 times 19:48:40 From Patrick Rampy : 81 Priests withstood an apostate king. 2Ch 26:17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men: 19:49:01 From Patrick Rampy : Therefore Lion = Priest. 19:49:30 From Angela MLB : Ps 104:21, 22The young lions roar after their prey & seek their meat from God. The sun ariseth , they gather themselves tog. & lay them down in their dens. 19:53:17 From ChristineFrancisco : They will feel trampled upon 19:54:06 From Patrick Rampy : As lions we will be taking the prey away from Satan. 19:55:08 From Suzan Field : Excellent study thanks so much! 19:55:26 From Patrick Rampy : Amen. 19:55:51 From ChristineFrancisco : He is the center of the Charts!! 19:56:04 From Suzan Field : amen christine! 19:56:21 From Patrick Rampy : I'm thinking Goshen. 19:58:07 From Victoria T. : it makes me think of a reflection or mirror. So the end mirrors the beginning? 20:00:15 From Patrick Rampy : The same things happen, only in reverse order. 20:02:56 From Victoria T. : It's kind of interesting that's how God demonstrates the end from the beginning through parables because you learn what to do from placing the mirror at the beginning to know what is going to happen at the end. I hope I conveyed this right... 20:04:48 From Patrick Rampy : Elaine please make this drawing into a chart with explanation of the points for us, ok? 20:07:24 From Patrick Rampy : The Exodus was 38/40 years. The Millerites had 1838/1840. 20:10:22 From Angela MLB : 'In the 1st ch of Heb Christ is revealed as God, of the name of God, bcs He is the nature of God ... the very impress of the substance of God. ...

What did I miss? 20:28:51 From Elaine Steiner : it will be posted 20:29:44 From Patrick Rampy : A lot of people are already mad about the craziness going on in the SDA GC, but they have no other place to go yet. But when we are lifted up they will come to us. 20:29:44 From Victoria T. : liberals are more open to change than conservators 20:30:50 From Victoria T. : *conservatives 20:32:17 From Victoria T. : amen 20:34:55 From Victoria T. : lol 20:36:07 From Lana S : how about you pick - name a person, 20:36:32 From ChristineFrancisco : Lana I like that idea 20:36:46 From ChristineFrancisco : And the topic 20:36:49 From Elaine Steiner : Watch out Christine - you'l be named 20:36:59 From Elaine Steiner : :-) 20:37:01 From ChristineFrancisco : Lol. that's ok 20:38:39 From Angela MLB : I wd like to do a study of Pr 31-- Church Triumphant. 20:42:21 From Lana S : Hey Adriana, do you speak Russian? 20:43:19 From Victoria T. : i noticed that the chat deletes previous messages that were entered as people inserts them 20:43:29 From Victoria T. : ongoingly
