Jehoshua is on the throne of David in New Jerusalem and He is the King of a New Israel
There are at least several hundred Sabbath keeping groups out there in the world of Christianity so in this article we will focus on only a few denominations/groups/movements. Seventh Day Adventists, Seventh Day Baptists, Churches of God 7th day, Hebrews Roots and Messianic’s will be our subject matter in terms of comparing their beliefs with Seventh Day Anabaptists. Not all Sabbath keeping groups are the same and not all Sabbath keeping groups tend towards legalism so it is good to understand the various differences between them. So let’s begin as we will first look at the Seventh Day Adventists:
Seventh day Adventists Things that Anabaptists and Adventists agree on: State of the dead – Soul sleep Eternality of 10 commandments Papacy is the anti-Christ of bible prophecy Protestantism is the false prophet of bible prophecy Importance of Christ’s heavenly intercession Things that Anabaptists and Adventists disagree on: Adventists believe that God is a trinity and that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are co eternal and co equal. Many of the independent ministries hold a semi-arian view which teaches that God the Father begat Jesus in eternity at some point. Anabaptists (Seventh Day) believe that God is one person which is the Father Almighty and that Jesus is His only begotten Son due to the virgin birth. This would be termed “Biblical Unitarianism” which denies the literal preexistence of Christ. Adventists believe in the investigative judgment doctrine which teaches that Christ only went into the holy place at his ascension and didn’t go to the most holy until 1844 beginning the antitypical day of atonement. Anabaptists (Seventh Day) believe that Jesus fulfilled the day of atonement at the cross and in his subsequent resurrection and ascension to the Father on the day of first fruits (resurrection day). We believe Jesus went directly to the most holy place. Adventists believe that the Leviticus 11 unclean/meat laws still apply to the new covenant Christian Anabaptists (Seventh Day) believe that the unclean/clean meat laws are not part of the new covenant, being done away with as witnessed by Jesus, Peter and Paul. Anabaptists believe that the dietary laws of Leviticus 11 are specific to the ceremonial worship system of the old covenant. Adventists believe Ellen White to be a legitimate prophet whose writings are a continual source of inspiration for the Church. Anabaptists (Seventh Day) believe that Jesus Christ was the final authoritative prophet who perfectly revealed the will of the Father. Anabaptists believe that prophesy is still a gift active and available to the Church, however we reject anyone who claims to have new revelation from God especially that adds, takes away or contradicts the word of God. Anabaptists reject Ellen White as a legitimate prophet of Jehovah God. Adventists believe in vegetarianism as a commandment Anabaptists believe that teaching vegetarianism as a commandment is a doctrine of devils (1 Timothy 4). Adventists believe in a heavenly millennium Anabaptists believe in an earthly millennium Seventh Day Adventists believe that they are the remnant Church Anabaptists believe that the remnant is made up of any believer who keeps God's commandments (decalogue) and has the testimony of Jesus Christ Adventists believe that Jesus is Michael the Archangel Anabaptists believe that Jesus is a human being who is now glorified in His resurrected state and was never an angel (spirit being) based off Hebrews 1 and 2 Adventists consider themselves Protestants Anabaptists reject Protestantism as false and consider themselves Restorationists As you can see there are more differences between the two groups than there similarities.

I agree with most of what your beliefs in this statement, Yet there is the Father and the Son, If Yeshuah did not preexist before the foundation of the Earth then who is the word as mentioned in John 1 and in Gen 1? Who was that walk through the pieces in Gen 15?
