Bøker av Mark Shipowick

The Final Atonement calls the attention of the church to Christ's imminent cleansing of the sanctuary as graphically depicted in the apocalyptic prophesies of scripture. It unpacks many components associated with end-time events, both earthly and heavenly, including the prophetic import of the unique turmoil of the early 2020s. It points readers forward to the momentous events in the courts of heaven and among the nations of earth foretold by inspiration that lie just ahead.Mark Shipowick does another deep dive into the apocalyptic prophecies in this complement to his previous volume, Ezekiel's Temple. The author highlights several pivotal occurrences from the past, globally and even domestically, and emphasizes their relevance to the overarching conflict between Christ and Satan. He identifies a pattern of repetition and proposes that some of these historical events will unfold again. Along that vein, he prompts readers to reexamine certain stances well-established in Adventist orthodoxy and provides intriguing corroboration of his unorthodox conclusions from the pen of inspiration.Readers are encouraged to carefully and prayerfully study and determine their level of agreement for themselves with the cases Shipowick has built. They will identify the burden on his heart to see his brethren comprehensively prepared for Jesus to finalize His victory over the wretched enemy, restore His cherished people to His image, and lead them home at last.

In many ways, the sanctuary service is the hub of Seventh-day Adventist theology, end-time perspective, and devotion (of course, Jesus Christ Himself is the true nucleus). As the title indicates, Mark Shipowick endeavors to go in a balanced but less-explored direction.The Mosaic model, with its structure and services, receives more attention and is more often the focus of study. The author eagerly posits that the particularities and unique elements of Ezekiel's temple have many valuable lessons to teach us regarding the gospel and apocalyptic realities. He unpacks the various connections he's found between this fascinating model and the key aspects of Revelation, such as the 144,000, judgment, and atonement. This volume also digs into the significance of the similarities and contrasts between the sets of offerings from Moses and Ezekiel's respective ceremonials.Shipowick highlights key newsworthy events that have transpired over the past 100-plus years and emphasizes their importance in the historical-prophetic landscape. His objective in these studies and surveys is to help prepare his readers-his brothers and sisters in the Lord-for the tumult that lies ahead in earth's final moments and the culmination of the grand, eternal victory of our Savior, the Lion-Lamb."In Ezekiel's Temple, Shipowick provides a fascinating new insight into the parallels between the prophesied temple of Jerusalem, the end-time prophecies of Daniel, and how this relates to modern humanity just before the return of Jesus Christ. His book invites all to a careful reading and thoughtful reflection on their own life and preparation for the second coming." Dr. Conrad Vine, ordained minister and lifelong missionary"...you will find much food for thought about the final restoration of true worship, the glorious fulfillment of God's covenant, God's image being re-created in redeemed humanity, the 144,000 as the first fruits of this new creation, and the final work which is to be accomplished in the spirit and power of Elijah." Ovidiu Victor Martin, author and publisher"The reader who takes the time to wrestle and study through these concepts should receive a blessing as they 'read, ' 'hear, ' and 'keep' these things 'for the time is at hand'!"
