Welcome to The Branch – The Ensign

We are a small group of Bible students committed to searching the Scriptures and examining the prophetic messages of the Bible in the light of present truth.

The name “The Ensign” reflects our understanding of the biblical prophecies that speak of an ensign raised for the gathering of God’s people. We believe that the prophetic Word was given not merely to describe events of the past, but to prepare God’s people as the prophetic events of Scripture unfold and for the coming kingdom of Christ.

Our studies are rooted in Scripture and engage particularly with biblical prophecy, the sanctuary, the commandments and statutes of God, the appointed times, the work of Christ, and the identity and work of the Holy Spirit. As baptized Seventh-day Adventists, we share the fundamental biblical heritage of Adventism while also presenting areas of study in which our understanding differs from commonly held Adventist positions.

This website brings together our Bible studies, publications, articles, prophetic studies, and audio and video material so that readers may examine these subjects for themselves. We do not ask you simply to accept our conclusions. We invite you to search the Scriptures, consider the evidence presented, and prayerfully determine whether these things are so.

“To the law and to the testimony…”

— Isaiah 8:20
