It was on Sunday April 18, 1982, that those assembled for Sunrise Divine Service at Red Rock Consecrated Sanctuary received confirmation of the Second Appearance of God through revelation when Jesus, as the Angel of the Lord, manifested in visible form at the Sanctuary of Revelation and entrusted The Church with the keys to open the seals of the Book of Revelation.
The fixed date of April 18, as Second Advent Easter—i.e., following the Sacred Solar Calendar of The Church—is celebrated annually with Sunrise Divine Services at the Sanctuary, as that date was established by the late Most Right Reverend Gene Savoy Sr., as The Man, following a series of revelations received on April 18, 1982, as he climbed the Seven Mountains of Metal at the Sanctuary. All of these events are recorded in The Church’s publication The Book of God’s Revelation.
This year, as is the tradition, fellowship and refreshments followed the service at the Sanctuary’s chapter house.Commemorative services honoring the First Advent calendar were held during the spring season.
