This letter is specifically directed at Seventh-Day Adventists and the Seventh-Day Adventist Churches. The claimed discovery of Christ’s blood on the Mercy Seat was made by an active Seventh-Day Adventist. Although Ron tried to cooperate with the church, he was eventually rejected by the leadership and a large portion of his people. We are going to examine why that happened, and also address the theological concerns Adventists believe arise when they encounter this discovery. Only an intensive study can help us determine whether this discovery is true or false. Throughout time, God’s own people kept rejecting the messengers sent to them. For that reason, it is essential that we learn WHY it happened, how to avoid making the same mistake, and how to tell if something is of God or of the enemy.
Topics in this letter:
*Our Mentality *The discovery of the Ark first given to the Adventist Church *Prophecies with
multiple fulfillments. *The Day of Atonement 1. *Destroying the Adventist pillars? *To the law
and to the testimony *Law concerning the sacrifice *Law concerning the blood *A prophet like
Moses *The Day of Atonement *Both sacrifice and Priest. *Why could the resurrection take
place? *IF He did *Bible prophecies the two sprinklings *Why use the word “anoint” *At the
border of the promised land *The Ark to search out a resting place *The Ark of the Covenant had
many functions *Can the tables of stone be shown to the world? *What it means to us personally
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Question 1: Wasn’t the High Priest only allowed into the Most Holy Place once a year? How then could Jesus enter at Passover?
Question 2: How does the Ark discovery fit with the 1888 message?
Question 3: Why are so many misguided people sharing this discovery without the right message to accompany it?
Question 4: If it were from God, why didn’t God send this message to our leaders and have them
properly present it to the Church?
Question 5: Why do many conservative Adventists reject it? Aren’t they close to God?
Question 6: These discoveries don’t seem to have anything to do with calling people out of Babylon.
Question 7: Does God ever use archaeology?
Question 8: How can we tell what is of God and what is of the devil?
Question 9: Wasn’t the Ark of the Covenant taken to heaven?
Question 10: Did Ron Wyatt go against 1844?
Question 11: Did Ron aspire to be an archaeologist without the proper education? Isn’t that deceptive?
Question 12: How can one man make so many discoveries? Doesn’t that make it unlikely?
Question 13: Would God ever expect us to believe in the Ark discovery before it is physically shown?
Question 14: I believe in the Bible. I don’t need these things to strengthen my faith.
Question 15: This discovery, even if it’s true, means nothing to me personally.
Question 16: How can you so boldly preach this when you haven’t seen the Ark yourself?
Question 17: Who was to take over after Ron Wyatt?
Question 18: Why does God tell about the Ark before He shows it?
Question 19: Why is there only one witness to the Ark? Doesn’t there have to be more than one in order for a truth to be established? And why hasn’t God done anything, such as adding witnesses, since Ron died?
Question 20: I’ve heard some bad rumors about Ron Wyatt’s character. Shouldn’t I use that to determine if he has God’s fruits or was telling the truth? Would Christians lie?
Question 21: Maybe Ron was psychologically unstable and fooled even himself into believing this discovery? That he saw things that weren’t there?
Who am I?
I am not a pastor, a scholar, or a prophet. I am not even a man. If this makes you want to disregard the whole letter, I would like to remind you that some of the greatest truths have come from God through simple people. I am not saying I am one of them, but there might be something in this letter that God would like you to know, and the only way for you to know for sure is to read it. For almost 30 years, I have been familiar with Ron Wyatt’s discoveries. For a long time, I have had to listen to people speak badly about the man who helped lead me to Christ, and I have had to suffer harsh treatment by fellow Christians for believing him. But I know in my heart that I did something at the beginning that many others did not. I “searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” (Acts 17:11) I did not trust anyone else to give me a conclusion. I did not ask my pastor to study it for me. I went on my knees and said to God, “If this discovery is true, the evidence is in the Bible. If so, show me. And if this discovery is a deception, the Bible can expose it. If so, show me.” Then I got up and opened my Bible. I will present some of the things I discovered. Can I say that I got it all right?
No, this letter is not meant to tell you how it absolutely should be interpreted, but to present you with some material you yourself can use to pray over and study to find out if some of it might just be right. Remember when Rachel Oakes Preston first addressed the Millerites about the Sabbath? They were too busy to give her any notice. Later, a couple of men decided to see if it wasn’t so and accepted her invitation to her bible study. Then Ellen White, who at that time had already received visions, was tested to see whether, by study, she would receive the Sabbath before receiving a revelation on it. Yes, God wanted even her to learn to study scripture when presented with something new. And she did. Because of the pioneers’ willingness to study and pray to see if it was so, the church received its main pillar of faith, the Sabbath, enshrined in its very name.
Now, please give me this time, hear me out, gather yourselves together, and pray and study. Perhaps you can perfect this study? Maybe you can add to it, or maybe something is right, and something else is wrong? When God sends us any light, we are to do this work and study. I cannot gather a large group of elders to study these Biblical topics with me, so I am sending it out to you all. It is now in your hands. Please follow the counsel we have been given and study these things for yourselves.

I am not an adventist but i believe all of God’s word to be true. I thank our Father in heaven and his Holy Son Jesus for this website and better yet this article. I just got to the part about the Law Concerning The Sacrifice and i am floored because i didn’t see it the way you explained it and it lines up with what Ron Wyatt found. I can’t wait to read more and more importantly study more. I am just noe starting to follow the Lord with my whole heart and i am having to relearn everything i have been taught. Thank you for this, it is truly edifying. May God bless you and keep up the good fight.
With Love, In Christ
Thank you so much for leaving a comment and I hope God continues to guide and help you on your journey home to His kingdom.
In Christ,

I have only just begun to read your open letter to Adventists, but I can perfectly empathize with the frustration you feel and express when confronted with people who refuse to move forward to better understand the Plan of Salvation. Since watching last October’s (2018) SDA General Conference Annual Council, I have removed myself from SDA membership for the 2nd time. I don’t care what they call themselves, but the SDA GC has now retreated into papal behavior that I cannot deny, nor be a part of, by establishing a limited and limiting ‘creed’ — in its own name — and then appointing ‘compliance committees’ (‘Inquisition’) to enforce that limiting creed’s observance by ‘members in good standing’ throughout the worldwide church. As you clearly understand, this is no way to move forward in true ‘faith’ in the credibility of a living and active Savior. I cannot support the SDA GC as it now continues to ignore the warnings and ‘light’ from God’s messengers for the last 131 years, at least (including Ron Wyatt), and has now become as ‘papal’ as Rome, although it refuses to see and to admit this obvious fact.
I wish I could imagine that it will ever make a turn-around, but I believe that the ongoing battles between ‘conservative’ and ‘liberal’ SDAs have distracted all attention away from even desiring forward progress in seeking, or understanding any ‘new light'(they can’t even agree on the ‘old’ Rather, each side seems to see its mission as being the destruction of their opposition. And so it is even stranger to me that both sides often seem to unite in their opinion that ‘Ron Wyatt was a con man’. And yet not strange. Christ’s own ‘house’ or ‘kingdom’ would never choose to ‘fall’ by being divided against itself, like the current SDA church is. If Christ is not accepted in the SDA church, then neither are Christ’s messengers, nor their messages bringing new information. . . and as frustrating as this is to yourself and to myself, try to imagine the offended Christ’s feelings about this ongoing 131-year-old SDA mess !
Thank you for commenting. Yes, that Ron Wyatt is a con man seem to be that thing conservative and liberals agree on. They are similar in behavior although not in doctrine.
This letter isn’t to the GC, although they are welcome to read it. It’s to people that identify as Seventh Day Adventists. There is a lot of good people around the world who are sitting on the “fence” and have been scared to make a decision hearing all the wrong things about this.
