  This study clarifies the tension that exists within Adventist eschatological understanding of one area of prophetic interpretation. The focus of this prophetic study is the fulfillment of Revelation 13:3, concerning the healing of the "deadly wound." The purpose of this study is to compare, analyze, and contrast differing Adventist interpretations concerning the prophesied hearing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and to determine which of them are more biblically correct. There were two confricling interpretations that existed in the 1800s. One view held that the healing of the deadly wound has been already furfilled in that century. A second view held that the predicted hearing had not yet been fulfilled in the 1800s but would be in the near future. In the 1900s, three major interpretations emerged. One view held that the prophesied healing was fulfilled at the time of the signing of the Lateran Treaty in 1929. This view seems to negate the two views held in the nineteenth century. The second view promulgated that in 1929 the healing of the deadly wound began and is continuing. Finally, a third view propounded that the prophesied healing has not yet been fulfilled: all is still in the future. Three conclusions were arrived at in this study: (1) The view held in the 1800s that the healing of the deadly wound has not yet been fulfilled appears to be correct, (2) the views in the 1900s that held that the healing began in 1929 and that the complete healing is still future have some legitimacy, (3) the views that claimed that the healing of the deadly wound has been already fulfilled in the 1800s as well as the view that 1929 marked the healing of the deadly wound need further appraisal.

  This study of ex-post facto correlated survey design was done to examine the relationship between the health lifestyle and health status in adult patients attending an ambulatory nurse-operated clinic located in Bandung, Indonesia. Fifty subjects 30 to 60 years of age, male or female, were selected by systematic random sampling. The data were collected by answering a constructed questionnaire. Clinical test data were collected by measuring weight, percentage of body fat, blood pressure, pulse rate and respiration rate. Pearson's product moment correlation coefficient r was used to find the relationship between variables and to test the hypotheses. The statistical analysis yielded an r of 0.91. Based upon the results of the study, the following conclusions were reached: 1. The more healthful the lifestyle of an individual is, the higher his health status will be. 2. People with unhealthful lifestyles have a hiqher risk of hypertension and obesity than people with healthful lifestyles.
