Various offerings are defined, including sin offerings, trespass offerings, burnt offerings, peace offerings, and meal offerings.
The document discusses the sanctuary message and the three angels' messages as presented in Revelation. It summarizes that Jesus fulfills his role as high priest by moving from the holy place to the most holy place in heaven's sanctuary after 1844. This marks the start of the investigative judgment, as foretold in Daniel 7, where Jesus receives his kingdom and judges his people based on their deeds. It identifies the synagogue of Satan as those who reject this message and resist God's light, in contrast to the Philadelphia church that accepts it.
The document discusses the sanctuary and its significance. It explains that the earthly sanctuary that God commanded Moses to build was a pattern of the heavenly sanctuary. It describes how Satan seeks to veil Jesus and the sanctuary from our sight. It then discusses the significance of the "daily" or "continual" services that occurred in the earthly sanctuary, and how the papacy exalted itself and took away the daily/continual aspect of the sanctuary services.
The document discusses the importance of the sanctuary and its services as a central theme that unites Bible truths. It notes that every gospel truth centers on and radiates from the sanctuary, and that Satan tries to block our view of the sanctuary and divert attention away from its themes. Key subjects like the 2300 days prophecy, the commandments of God, and Christ's ministry in the heavenly sanctuary are said to be what messengers should dwell upon as they establish faith and certainty.
The document discusses the final preparations and appeals of mercy before Jesus returns. It says that now is the time to work saving souls who are lost and perishing, rather than among those already in the fold. It warns that the world is increasingly setting aside God's claims, and wickedness is filling up the measure of iniquity. When Sunday laws become universal, God will intervene and shake the earth mightily to punish sin and reveal His power. The signs of the times like wars, famines, and earthquakes show that Christ's return is near. The Spirit is being withdrawn from an unrepentant world, with plagues already falling.
The document contains excerpts from the Bible discussing Jesus Christ's life and ministry. It references his sacrifice on the cross to atone for humanity's sins, his role as the way to God and eternal life, and his promise to prepare a place in heaven for believers.

Only when God's people are purified and reflect the character of Christ will the sanctuary be cleansed and Jesus able to restore all things lost through sin. God's people must receive the seal of God by keeping His commandments and refusing the mark of the beast as the final test and preparation before the close of probation.

God has revealed Himself through three books: nature, the sanctuary service, and the Bible. The sanctuary service, found in the Old Testament, prefigured Jesus' ministry in the heavenly sanctuary and provided a way for people to understand prophecy and the plan of salvation.

This document is an introduction to a book that warns of imminent judgment and destruction coming to America through fire. It references prophecies from the Bible about God judging nations through fire. The introduction argues that America fits the description of modern Babylon in Revelation that will be destroyed suddenly in one hour. It claims America will be wiped out by a hydrogen holocaust and few will escape this divine judgment for the nation's sins and turning away from God. The author believes he has been called as a watchman to blow the trumpet and warn of America's coming destruction.
The Destruction of America::"Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devour-ing fire. And the Lord shall cause his glo-rious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indig-nation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tem-pest, and hailstones" (Isaiah 30:27,30).
"Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord" (Jeremiah 8:7).
America is going to be destroyed by fire! Sudden destruction is coming and few will escape. Unexpect-edly, and in one hour, a hydrogen holocaust will engulf America—and this nation will be no more.
It is because America has sinned against the great-est light. Other nations are just as sinful, but none are as flooded with gospel light as ours. God is going to judge America for its violence, its crimes, its backslid-ings, its murdering of millions of babies, its flaunting of homosexuality and sadomasochism, its corruption,its drunkenness and drug abuse, its form of godliness without power, its lukewarmness toward Christ, its rampant divorce and adultery, its lewd pornography, its child molestations, its cheatings, its robbings, its dirty movies, and its occult practices.
In one hour it will all be over. To the natural mind it is insanity to come against a prosperous, powerful nation and cry out, "It's all over! Judgment is at the door! Our days are numbered!" The church is asleep, the congregations are at ease, and the shepherds slumber. How they will scoff and laugh at this mes-sage. Theologians will reject it because they can't fit it into their doctrine. The pillow prophets of peace and prosperity will publicly denounce it.
1) The document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Peter Hammond on Isaiah 9:1-7. It discusses how this passage prophesies the coming of Jesus Christ as the light who will deliver people from darkness and oppression.
2) It explores the various names and roles of Jesus mentioned in the passage, including Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. It emphasizes that Jesus was born as a king and his kingdom and rule will have no end.
3) The summary urges people to submit to Jesus' lordship and government over all areas of life, and to obey him, in light of his eternal reign as prophesied.
Jonah 1:1-3. Jonah told by God to go preach to Nineveh
Went by boat to Tarshish instead
Storm came up, Jonah thrown overboard
Swallowed by great fish, then spit out on land
Jonah told again to preach to Nineveh
Jonah tells God he didn’t want to preach to Nineveh because he knew God would forgive them if they repented
They repented and God forgave them
Jonah was angry & went outside the city to see what would happen
God caused a gourd to grow up and give him shade
A worm caused the plant to die & Jonah was angry
God asked Jonah if it was right for him to be angry about the plant, Jonah said yes
God said, should I not pity the 120,000 souls in Nineveh

There will be wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, and the love of many growing cold. False prophets will perform signs and wonders to deceive people. Satan will wage war against God's people. It warns that Satan will try to change God's law and that the papacy exalted itself above God by changing His law. The document encourages preparing for Jesus' second coming and the mansions being prepared in heaven.
This document provides a warning about the abominations that will be seen in the end times before Jesus returns. It discusses how God's people must stand against false teachings and worldly influences in order to receive God's seal of protection during the time of trouble. It emphasizes living a holy, obedient life and preparing spiritually for what is coming upon the earth through greater conformity to Christ.
1. The document discusses two popular views of the end times - dispensational premillennialism and amillennialism.
2. It examines themes in Revelation such as the exalted reign of Christ, the role and mission of the Church, and the defeat of Satan through Christ's victory on the cross.
3. The defining event of the end is said to be Jesus' return in glory to judge the living and the dead and establish a new heaven and new earth.
The document discusses the need for revival and reformation among Seventh-day Adventists. It notes that the line between Christians and the ungodly has blurred, and that a lack of conversion and backsliding among church members prevents God from bringing more souls into the truth. It emphasizes that Adventists must prepare for the outpouring of God's Spirit by removing all hindrances like selfish indulgence, divisions, and lack of consecration.
The document summarizes key events from Revelation 15-16, including the seven last plagues and the battle of Armageddon. It describes how the sixth plague involves the drying up of the Euphrates river, Satan sending out three evil spirits to deceive people, and the gathering of armies for the battle of Armageddon. The seventh and final plague then occurs, marking the end of Jesus' mediation and the pouring out of God's wrath. Satan makes one last attempt to destroy the faithful with this final battle, but will be defeated with Christ's return.
THIS EXPLAINS THAT JUDGMENT IS A PROCESS; NOT AN EVENT. GOD DOES NOT NEED TO DO ALL THIS; BUT IN ORDER TO ADDRESS IN FAIRNESS ANY QUESTIONS THE ANGELS MIGHT HAVE HAD, AFTER LUCIFER FELL FROM HEAVEN, HE NEEDS TO DO THIS. WOULD YOU?

This document contains excerpts from Ellen White on the topics of Isaiah 58, the condition of the world, justification by faith as the third angel's message, revealing God's character of love, helping the needy world, and more. Key points include:
- Isaiah 58 outlines God's chosen fast of loosening bands of wickedness and letting the oppressed go free.
- Justification by faith is the message of Christ's righteousness that prepares the way for His second coming, which is the glory of God in the third angel's message.
- God's people are called to reveal His character of love by manifesting His grace in their lives and helping those in need.
The document outlines the sanctuary service in the earthly tabernacle and its antitype in Jesus' heavenly ministry. It describes the daily and yearly services on earth, which pointed to the continual intercession of Jesus and His final atonement cleansing believers of sin's record. It urges readers to come humbly before God's judgment, pleading only the merits of Christ, who will present believers faultless before the Father.
The document discusses two main decrees in end times prophecy:
1. The first decree issued by the United States that causes persecution of God's people.
2. The universal death decree issued after probation closes that gives authority to kill saints.
It argues that the universal death decree cannot be issued before probation closes, as God's restraining influence on governments remains until Jesus finishes His work as high priest. The Great Controversy and Spirit of Prophecy writings depict the death decree only occurring after Jesus leaves the sanctuary at the end of the investigative judgment.
The document discusses the parable of the ten virgins from Matthew 25:1-13. It provides commentary on the symbolism and meaning within the parable. Key points include:
- The ten virgins represent the experience of the end-time church. The wise virgins have oil while the foolish do not.
- The oil represents the Holy Spirit or heavenly grace. The lamps represent the Word of God.
- At the midnight cry, the foolish virgins are found unready as they lack the Holy Spirit and righteous character.
- Christ's coming in the parable represents the investigative judgment, where characters will be weighed in God's balances. The foolish will be
This document discusses the symbolism of the church being the bride of Christ. It asserts that in 1844, Christ entered the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary to be married to the New Jerusalem, which represents His union with the church. It states that Christ loves the church and gave Himself for it. The church is composed of true believers who are citizens of the New Jerusalem. When Christ returns, He will consummate His blessed union with His church. The sealing of God's people represents their marriage to Christ. The judgment prepares God's people to receive the seal and be part of Christ's eternal bride.
The document discusses the true nature of the shaking that was prophesied by Ellen White. It argues that the shaking is the work of the investigative judgment, where God separates the wheat from the tares. During this time, God's people experience an affliction of the soul where they plead for forgiveness and cleansing. Jesus then provides a special atonement or cleansing for His people, removing the record of their sins and clothing them in His perfect righteousness. This final atonement experienced during the judgment is what prepares God's people to receive the latter rain and give the loud cry.
The document discusses the attainment of ultimate character perfection in God's people prior to the Second Advent. It asserts that character development will continue even after being sealed, as revival and strengthening from the latter rain and trials during the time of trouble further perfect character. God's people will mature until Jesus' character is perfectly reproduced in them, at which time He will return. The latter rain prepares the righteous for translation at the Second Coming by ripening their characters like grain.
The document discusses the judgment of the living as a period of time during which God's people will be judged and sealed or rejected prior to the close of probation. It provides biblical references and quotes from Ellen White that describe the judgment of the living as an investigative process where names are accepted or rejected. The quotes portray it as a solemn event where the righteous will receive God's seal and be separated from the unrighteous.
1. The document discusses the order of events outlined in Acts 3:19 regarding repentance, the blotting out of sins in the investigative judgment, and the reception of the latter rain.
2. It provides commentary from the book The Great Controversy and writings of Ellen G. White to support the interpretation that sins must first be blotted out in the investigative judgment before the latter rain can be received.
3. Diagrams are presented showing the relationship between repentance, the investigative judgment, and the latter rain as the final events in earth's history unfold.
1. The document discusses the glorious state of the church during the latter rain, which follows a shaking or sifting of the church.
2. It describes how the faithful will sigh and cry over the sins in the church, and will be sealed as they afflict their souls.
3. After the shaking removes the unfaithful, the latter rain will revive God's people and the church will appear "fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners."
The document discusses the experience that will bring God's people the seal of God. It describes how God's people will recognize their own sinfulness and unworthiness during the investigative judgment. Jesus will take away their filthy garments and clothe them with his robe of righteousness. They will receive the seal of God and be eternally secure from the tempter's devices, protected by holy angels.
Dr. Kellogg argued that while some believed the loud cry had already begun, the works described in scripture that should precede the loud cry had not fully been carried out by Seventh-day Adventists. He believed that Adventists must do more in areas of health, charity, and helping the needy before the loud cry could make a significant impact. Others like A.T. Jones believed the loud cry had already begun through the revelation of Christ's righteousness. There was disagreement around whether Adventists were adequately fulfilling their missional responsibilities prior to the loud cry.
The document discusses the need for churches to fulfill their duty of helping those in need through acts of service and charity. It suggests that when churches actively work to relieve suffering in their communities through programs like medical missionary work, God will bless their efforts and use them to spread his message throughout the world. It also notes that failing to engage in works of mercy keeps churches from prospering.
The document discusses the biblical concept of atonement. It notes that atonement means "at-one-ment" or being "at one" with God. It explores multiple Bible passages showing Jesus and the Father being "one" in works and purpose. It indicates Jesus' works of healing and helping people fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy. It suggests true followers of Christ will perform similar works of healing, helping the oppressed, feeding the hungry, and uplifting those in need. By doing these works, believers can experience at-one-ment with God and others.
The document discusses how believers are sanctified and born again by the Word and the Holy Spirit. It provides several Bible verses showing that sanctification comes through the Spirit and belief in the truth of God's Word. The Word of God is said to be the mechanism by which the Spirit is carried to the believer, as the messages of God's Spirit are poured out through His Word. When believers accept the living, spirit-giving messages of God's Word, the Holy Spirit is then able to work within them to transform the mind. However, the document cautions that the Spirit should not be confused with God or thought of as inhabiting believers in a way that compromises free will. Overall, the key points are that sanctification
This document discusses the final demonstration of God's wisdom and justice. It explains that God will demonstrate through the sealing of the 144,000 that He can correctly identify those who are worthy of salvation. It notes the 144,000 will face their most difficult test during the "time of Jacob's trouble" when it will seem like God has become their enemy, yet they will remain faithful. This will prove to onlooking beings that God's judgments on saving the righteous and destroying the wicked are justified.
The document discusses the history of interactions between the Jews and Greeks after Alexander the Great's conquests. Many young Jewish men were encouraged to study in Greek schools in Alexandria to gain knowledge, influence, and prestige. Over time, this led to a decline in spiritual influence as rabbinical teachings and traditions increased in importance. By the time of Christ, the Jews had lost sight of the spiritual meaning behind their rituals and ceremonies, instead focusing on outward compliance to numerous man-made traditions and laws. This legalism and hypocrisy had replaced a relationship with God.
This document discusses the latter rain and Pentecost, drawing comparisons between the two outpourings of the Holy Spirit. It provides biblical references to support the concept of a latter rain revival as foretold in prophecies such as Zechariah 10:1 and Joel 2:23. The document asserts that as with Pentecost, God's people must earnestly seek the Holy Spirit and have living connections to God in order to experience the latter rain and be prepared for Christ's return.
This document discusses the significance of Pentecost and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It references visions of a great reformatory movement among God's people with signs of healing and intercession. The Pentecostal outpouring was a sign from heaven that Christ's inauguration as priest and king was complete. The document encourages studying the book of Acts and cultivating deeper piety and humility. It draws parallels between the former and latter rains spoken of by Joel that ripen the harvest, representing the early and latter outpourings of God's spirit.
The document discusses the financial crisis and its relation to biblical prophecies. It warns that the centralization of wealth and power in the hands of the few at the expense of the many, combined with unrest among the poorer classes and worldwide dissemination of revolutionary ideas, risks involving the world in a struggle similar to the French Revolution. It cites biblical passages predicting men's hearts failing from fear of events coming upon the earth, the powers of heaven being shaken, and the coming of the Son of man. It also warns about a future where no one will be able to buy or sell without receiving a mark from or pledging allegiance to the beast.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.

2. Hebrews 10:35: Cast not away therefore your
confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36: For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have
done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37: For yet a little while, and he that shall come will
come, and will not tarry. 10:38: Now the just shall
live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall
have no pleasure in him. 39: But we are not of them
who draw back unto perdition; but of them that
believe to the saving of the soul.
3. 1Chronicles 12:32: And of the
children of Issachar, which were
men that had understanding of the
times, to know what Israel ought to
do; the heads of them were two
hundred; and all their brethren
were at their commandment.
6. There are many precious truths contained in the Word of
God, but it is "PRESENT TRUTH" that the flock needs now. I
have seen the danger of the messengers running off from the
important points of present truth, to dwell upon subjects that
are not calculated to unite the flock and sanctify the soul.
Satan will here take every possible advantage to injure the
cause. {EW 63.1} But such subjects as the SANCTUARY, in
connection with the 2300 days, the commandments of God
and the faith of Jesus, are perfectly calculated to explain the
past Advent movement and show what our present position
is, establish the faith of the doubting, and give certainty to
the glorious future. These, I have frequently seen, were the
principal subjects on which the messengers should dwell.
{EW 63.2}
7. Exo 28:33: And beneath
upon the hem of it thou
shalt make pomegranates of
blue, and of purple, and of
scarlet, round about the hem
thereof; and bells of gold
between them round about:

9. Ex:28:35: And it shall be
upon Aaron to minister: and
his SOUND SHALL BE HEARD
WHEN HE GOETH IN unto the
holy place before the LORD,
AND WHEN HE COMETH
OUT, that he die not.
10. At the commencement of the holy Sabbath, January 5, 1849, we engaged in
prayer with Brother Belden's family at Rocky Hill, Connecticut, and the Holy
Ghost fell upon us. I was taken off in vision to the most holy place, where I
saw Jesus still interceding for Israel. ON THE BOTTOM OF HIS GARMENT
WAS A BELL AND A POMEGRANATE. Then I saw that Jesus would not leave
the most holy place until every case was decided either for salvation or
destruction, and that the wrath of God could not come until Jesus had
finished His work in the most holy place, laid off His priestly attire, and
clothed Himself with the garments of vengeance. Then Jesus will step out
from between the Father and man, and God will keep silence no longer, but
pour out His wrath on those who have rejected His truth. I SAW THAT THE
ANGER OF THE NATIONS, THE WRATH OF GOD, AND THE TIME TO JUDGE
THE DEAD WERE SEPARATE AND DISTINCT, ONE FOLLOWING THE OTHER,
also that Michael had not stood up, and that the time of trouble, such as
never was, had not yet commenced. The nations are now getting angry, but
when our High Priest has finished His work in the sanctuary, He will stand
up, put on the garments of vengeance, and then the seven last plagues will
be poured out. {EW 36.1}
11. Only once a year could the high priest enter into the most
holy place, after the most careful and solemn preparation. No
mortal eye but that of the high priest could look upon the
sacred grandeur of that apartment, because it was the
especial dwelling-place of God's visible glory. The high priest
always entered it with trembling, while the people waited his
return with solemn silence. Their earnest desires were to God
for his blessing. Before the mercy-seat God conversed with the
high priest. If he remained an unusual time in the most holy,
the people were often terrified, fearing that because of their
sins, or some sin of the priest, the glory of the Lord had slain
him. BUT WHEN THE SOUND OF THE TINKLING OF THE BELLS
UPON HIS GARMENTS WAS HEARD, THEY WERE GREATLY
RELIEVED. HE THEN CAME FORTH AND BLESSED THE PEOPLE.
{4aSG 9.2}

13. Harbingers of the Coming Doom
Harbingers of the coming doom are at work and
have been for some time already. It is getting
more pointed, as we can see in many strange
occurrences in the world, such as the blood-
water events. This has caused some end-time
speculations as prophecy watchers look at the
descriptions of the last plagues and wonder if it
has already begun.

23. New World Order seen
as remedy for global
crisis
-Sky News, Nov. 11, 2008
British Prime
Minister Gordon
Brown claimed that
the current financial
turmoil may in the
future be seen as the
“birth pangs of a
new global order”.
24. James 5:1-9: Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries
that shall come upon you. 2: Your riches are corrupted, and your
garments are motheaten. 3: YOUR GOLD AND SILVER IS CANKERED;
AND THE RUST OF THEM SHALL BE A WITNESS AGAINST YOU, AND
SHALL EAT YOUR FLESH AS IT WERE FIRE. YE HAVE HEAPED TREASURE
TOGETHER FOR THE LAST DAYS. 4: Behold, the hire of the labourers
who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud,
crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the
ears of the Lord of sabaoth. 5: Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth,
and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of
slaughter. 6: Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not
resist you. 7: BE PATIENT THEREFORE, BRETHREN, UNTO THE COMING
OF THE LORD. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of
the earth, and hath long patience for it, UNTIL HE RECEIVE THE EARLY
AND LATTER RAIN. 8: Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the
coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9: Grudge not one against another,
brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the
door.
34. AS THE VIOLENCE OF THE STORM INCREASED, TREES, BUILDINGS,
ROCKS, AND EARTH WERE HURLED IN EVERY DIRECTION. THE
TERROR OF MAN AND BEAST WAS BEYOND DESCRIPTION. Above the
roar of the tempest was heard the wailing of a people that had despised the
authority of God. SATAN HIMSELF, WHO WAS COMPELLED TO REMAIN IN
THE MIDST OF THE WARRING ELEMENTS, FEARED FOR HIS OWN
EXISTENCE. He had delighted to control so powerful a race, and desired them
to live to practice their abominations and continue their rebellion against the
Ruler of heaven. He now uttered imprecations against God, charging Him with
injustice and cruelty. Many of the people, like Satan, blasphemed God, and had
they been able, they would have torn Him from the throne of power. Others
were frantic with fear, stretching their hands toward the ark and pleading for
admittance. But their entreaties were in vain. Conscience was at last aroused to
know that there is a God who ruleth in the heavens. They called upon Him
earnestly, but His ear was not open to their cry. In that terrible hour they saw
that the transgression of God's law had caused their ruin. Yet while, through
fear of punishment, they acknowledged their sin, they felt no true contrition, no
abhorrence of evil. They would have returned to their defiance of Heaven, had
the judgment been removed. So when God's judgments shall fall upon the earth
before its deluge by fire, the impenitent will know just where and what their sin
is--the despising of His holy law. Yet they will have no more true repentance
than did the old-world sinners. {PP 99.3}
36. Preceding the great sign of the coming of the Son of man, there will be
signs and wonders in the heavens. . . .
Already sprinklings from the vials of God's wrath have been let fall
upon land and sea, affecting the elements of the air. The causes of
these unusual conditions are being searched for, but in vain.
God has not restrained the powers of darkness from carrying
forward their deadly work of vitiating the air, one of the sources of life
and nutrition, with a deadly miasma. Not only is vegetable life
affected, but man suffers from pestilence. . . .
These things are the result of drops from the vials of God's wrath
being sprinkled on the earth, and are but faint representations of what
will be in the near future (3SM 391.1-4).
37. Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the
ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He
imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish
by the pestilence. These visitations are to become
more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction
will be upon both man and beast. "The earth
mourneth and fadeth away," "the haughty people . . .
do languish. The earth also is defiled under the
inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed
the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the
everlasting covenant." Isaiah 24:4, 5 (GC 589.3).
38. Geo-Engineering
The modern practice of “geo-engineering,” as a weather-
modification program (“climate remediation” or “solar
radiation management”), commonly referred to as
“chemtrails,” is the lacing of the atmosphere with particulate
matter containing various types of concoctions of barium,
aluminum, strontium, and other substances. These are
contaminating water supplies, causing havoc with people’s
health and also damaging soils of the earth, reducing the
amount of sunlight reaching the earth and reducing
agricultural output, as well as impeding the abilities of the
roots of plants to take up water and nutrients. This used to be
considered by many a wacky “conspiracy theory,” but no
person can today credibly refute that this is taking place. One
can easily research all of this and find much material online.
39. Geo-Engineering
Rev 11:18: And the nations were angry,
and thy wrath is come, and the time of
the dead, that they should be judged, and
that thou shouldest give reward unto thy
servants the prophets, and to the saints,
and them that fear thy name, small and
great; and shouldest destroy them which
destroy the earth.
40. Geo-Engineering
Rom 8:19-22: For the earnest expectation of the
creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons
of God. : For the creature was made subject to
vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath
subjected the same in hope, : Because the creature
itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of
corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of
God. : For we know that the whole creation
groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

48. These arrangements did not, however,
wholly do away with poverty. It was not
God's purpose that poverty should wholly
cease. It is one of His means for the
development of character. "The poor," He
says, "shall never cease out of the land:
therefore I command thee, saying, Thou
shalt open thine hand wide unto thy
brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in
thy land." Deuteronomy 15:11. {MH

59. The agencies of evil are combining their forces

movements will be rapid ones. {9T 11.2} The
condition of things in the world shows that

• God has a people upon the earth
who in faith and holy hope are tracing
down the roll of fast-fulfilling
prophecy and are seeking to purify
their souls by obeying the truth, that
they may not be found without the
wedding garment when Christ shall
appear. {4T 306.3}

Time is granted them, not to be

in helping others, by example and
personal effort, to see the beauty of
holiness. {4T 306.3}
69. COURTSHIP, MARRIAGE AND PREJUDICES
Letters to Young Lovers, Page 49
Don’t Keep It a Secret
"A YOUNG MAN WHO ENJOYS THE SOCIETY AND WINS THE FRIENDSHIP OF A YOUNG
LADY UNBEKNOWN TO HER PARENTS, DOES NOT ACT A NOBLE CHRISTIAN PART
TOWARD HER OR TOWARD HER PARENTS; THROUGH SECRET COMMUNICATIONS
AND MEETINGS HE MAY GAIN AN INFLUENCE OVER HER MIND; BUT IN SO DOING
HE FAILS TO MANIFEST THAT NOBILITY AND INTEGRITY OF SOUL WHICH EVERY
CHILD OF GOD WILL POSSESS. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR ENDS, THEY ACT
A PART THAT IS NOT FRANK AND OPEN AND ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE
STANDARD, AND PROVE THEMSELVES UNTRUE TO THOSE WHO LOVE THEM AND
TRY TO BE FAITHFUL GUARDIANS OVER THEM"
TRIFLING WITH HEARTS.--TO TRIFLE WITH HEARTS IS A CRIME OF NO SMALL
MAGNITUDE IN THE SIGHT OF A HOLY GOD. AND YET SOME WILL SHOW
PREFERENCE FOR YOUNG LADIES/YOUNG MEN AND CALL OUT THEIR AFFECTIONS,
AND THEN GO THEIR WAY AND FORGET ALL ABOUT THE WORDS THEY HAVE
SPOKEN AND THEIR EFFECT. A NEW FACE ATTRACTS THEM, AND THEY REPEAT THE
SAME WORDS, DEVOTE TO ANOTHER THE SAME ATTENTIONS. {AH 57.1}
70. Deceptive Practices in Courtship.--A young man who enjoys the society and wins the
friendship of a young lady unbeknown to her parents does not act a noble
Christian part toward her or toward her parents. Through secret communications
and meetings he may gain an influence over her mind, but in so doing he fails to
manifest that nobility and integrity of soul which every child of God will possess.
In order to accomplish their ends, they act a part that is not frank and open and
according to the Bible standard, and prove themselves untrue to those who love
them and try to be faithful guardians over them. Marriages contracted under
such influences are not according to the word of God. He who would lead a
daughter away from duty, who would confuse her ideas of God's plain and
positive commands to obey and honor her parents, is not one who would be true
to the marriage obligations. . . . {AH 57.3}
"Thou shalt not steal" was written by the finger of God upon the tables of stone,
yet how much underhand stealing of affections is practiced and excused! A
deceptive courtship is maintained, private communications are kept up, until the
affections of one who is inexperienced, and knows not whereunto these things
may grow, are in a measure withdrawn from her parents and placed upon him
who shows by the very course he pursues that he is unworthy of her love. The
Bible condemns every species of dishonesty. . . . {AH 58.1}
71. when I learned, with pain, that, in order to make the
institution popular with those not of our faith and
to secure their patronage, a spirit of compromise
was rapidly gaining ground at the Institute,
manifested in the use of Mr., Miss, and Mrs.,
instead of Brother and Sister, and in popular
amusements, in which all could engage in a sort of
comparatively innocent frolic--when I saw these
things, I said: This is not that which was shown me
as an institution for the sick which would share the
signal blessing of God. This is another thing. {1T

79. It will be declared that men are offending
God by the violation of the Sunday
sabbath; that this sin has brought
calamities which will not cease until
Sunday observance shall be strictly
enforced; and that those who present the
claims of the fourth commandment, thus
destroying reverence for Sunday, are
troublers of the people, preventing their
restoration to divine favor and temporal
prosperity. {GC 590.1}

82. The history which the great I AM has marked out
in His word, uniting link after link in the
prophetic chain, from eternity in the past to
eternity in the future, tells us where we are
today in the procession of the ages, and what
may be expected in the time to come. All that
prophecy has foretold as coming to pass, until
the present time, has been traced on the pages
of history, and we may be assured that all which
is yet to come will be fulfilled in its order. {Ed

85. Characters are to be developed that will decide the fitness of the human family for
the heavenly home--characters that will stand through the pressure of unfavorable
circumstances in private and public life, and that will, under the severest
temptations, through the grace of God grow brave and true, be firm as a rock to
principle, and come forth from the fiery ordeal, of more value than the golden
wedge of Ophir. God will endorse, with His own superscription, as His elect, those
who possess such characters. . . . {OHC 215.3}
Character tested like a sponge
The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before
probation closes, for it is to be the great test [SEE THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER, WHERE
THE GREAT TEST FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD IS SHOWN TO BE SUNDAY-LAW
ENFORCEMENT.] for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be
decided.--2SM 81 (1890). {LDE 227.3}
The great issue so near at hand [enforcement of Sunday laws] will weed out those
whom God has not appointed and He will have a pure, true, sanctified ministry
prepared for the latter rain.--3SM 385 (1886). {LDE 179.2}
86. The time is not far off when the people of God will be called upon to
give their testimony before the rulers of the earth. Not one in twenty
has a realization of what rapid strides we are making toward the
great crisis in our history. . . . There is no time for vanity, for trifling,
for engaging the mind in unimportant matters. {OHC 355.2} Kings,
governors, and great men will hear of you through the reports of
those who are at enmity with you, and your faith and character will
be misrepresented before them. But those who are falsely accused
will have an opportunity to appear in the presence of their accusers
to answer for themselves. They will have the privilege of bringing the
light before those who are called the great men of the earth, and if
you have studied the Bible, if you are ready to give an answer to
every man that asketh you of the hope that is in you with meekness
and fear, your enemies will not be able to gainsay your wisdom.
{OHC 355.3}
87. You are now to get ready for the time of trial. Now you are to know
whether your feet are planted on the Eternal Rock. You must have an
individual experience, and not depend upon others for your light. When
you are brought to the test, how do you know that you will not be
alone, with no earthly friend at your side? Will you then be able to
realize that Christ is your support? Will you be able to recall the
promise, "Lo, I am with you alway, even to the end of the world"? There
will be invisible ones all about you bent upon your destruction. Satan
and his agents will seek in every way to make you waver from your
steadfastness to God and His truth. But if you have an eye single to His
glory, you need not take thought as to how you shall witness for His
truth. {OHC 356.3} Young men and women, are you growing up to the
full stature of men and women in Christ, so that when the crisis comes,
you cannot be separated from the Source of your strength? If we would
stand during the time of test, we must now, in the time of peace, be
gaining a living experience in the things of God. We must now learn to
understand what are the deep movings of the Spirit of God. Christ must
be our all and in all, the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the
beginning and the end. {OHC 356.4}
88. The end of all things is at hand. The day of God is
hastening on apace. The world is full of crime and
anguish and sorrow. There are calamities by land
and by sea. Storm and tempest make it unsafe for
us to be separated from God for one single
moment. Only those who live by faith in this
probationary life, will be able to stand in the day
of test, when everything that can be shaken will
be shaken, but they shall dwell in safety and be
unmoved. {OHC 354.5}
89. Oh, there is a great work to be done for the
people of God, ere they are prepared for
translation to heaven! The heat of the furnace
upon some must be severe to reveal the dross.
Self will have to be crucified. When each believer
is to the very extent of his knowledge obeying
the Lord, and yet seeking to give no just occasion
to his fellow men to oppress him, he should not
fear the results, even though it be imprisonment
and death.... {OHC 323.3}
90. THERE IS A LIMIT
Ac:17:26: And hath made of one
blood all nations of men for to
dwell on all the face of the earth,
and hath determined the times
before appointed, and the bounds
of their habitation;
91. In consideration of the shortness of time we as a people should watch
and pray, and in no case allow ourselves to be diverted from the solemn
work of preparation for the great event before us. Because the time is
apparently extended, many have become careless and indifferent in
regard to their words and actions. They do not realize their danger and
do not see and understand the mercy of our God in lengthening their
probation, that they may have time to form characters for the future,
immortal life. Every moment is of the highest value. Time is granted
them, not to be employed in studying their own ease and becoming
dwellers on the earth, but to be used in the work of overcoming every
defect in their own characters and in helping others, by example and
personal effort, to see the beauty of holiness. God has a people upon
the earth who in faith and holy hope are tracing down the roll of fast-
fulfilling prophecy and are seeking to purify their souls by obeying the
truth, that they may not be found without the wedding garment when
Christ shall appear. {4T 306.3}
92. For six thousand years, Satan's work of rebellion has "made the earth to tremble."
He had "made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof." And he
"opened not the house of his prisoners." For six thousand years his prison house
has received God's people, and he would have held them captive forever; but
Christ had broken his bonds and set the prisoners free. {GC 659.3} Even the
wicked are now placed beyond the power of Satan, and alone with his evil angels
he remains to realize the effect of the curse which sin has brought. "The kings of
the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, everyone in his own house [the grave].
But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch. . . . Thou shalt not be
joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy
people." Isaiah 14:18-20. {GC 660.1} For a thousand years, Satan will wander to
and fro in the desolate earth to behold the results of his rebellion against the law of
God. During this time his sufferings are intense. Since his fall his life of unceasing
activity has banished reflection; but he is now deprived of his power and left to
contemplate the part which he has acted since first he rebelled against the
government of heaven, and to look forward with trembling and terror to the
dreadful future when he must suffer for all the evil that he has done and be
punished for the sins that he has caused to be committed. {GC 660.2}
93.
94. When God's written word was given through the Hebrew prophets, Satan
studied with diligence the messages concerning the Messiah. Carefully he
traced the words that outlined with unmistakable clearness Christ's work
among men as a suffering sacrifice and as a conquering king. In the
parchment rolls of the Old Testament Scriptures he read that the One
who was to appear was to be "brought as a lamb to the slaughter," "His
visage . . . so marred more than any man, and His form more than the
sons of men." Isaiah 53:7; 52:14. The promised Saviour of humanity was
to be "despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief; . . . smitten of God, and afflicted;" yet He was also to exercise
His mighty power in order to "judge the poor of the people." He was to
"save the children of the needy," and "break in pieces the oppressor."
Isaiah 53:3, 4; Psalm 72:4. These prophecies caused Satan to fear and
tremble; yet he relinquished not his purpose to thwart, if possible, the
merciful provisions of Jehovah for the redemption of the lost race. He
determined to blind the eyes of the people, so far as might be possible, to
the real significance of the Messianic prophecies, in order to prepare the
way for the rejection of Christ at His coming. {PK 686.1}
95. The perils of the last days are upon us,
and in our work we are to warn the
people of the danger they are in. Let not
the solemn scenes which prophecy has
revealed, be left untouched. If our people
were half awake, if they realized the
nearness of the events portrayed in the
Revelation, a reformation would be
wrought in our churches, and many more
would believe the message. {Ev 195.1}

connection. (ITV)
100. A BRITISH WOMAN MARRIES A DOG
• A British woman says she has finally found the true meaning of marriage now that she has divorced her
husband and married her dog.
• Amanda Rodgers and her dog/wife Sheba appeared on British television's ITV's "This Morning" Tuesday to
discuss why she decided to wed her pet in a ceremony attended by 200 people in Croatia last week, reports the
Mirror.
• "She was two weeks old and she was new to the world — but I fell in love with her," Rodgers, 47, told the
show's hosts. "I knew that we were meant to be."
• Rodgers, whose Twitter feed uses the name "shebarodgers," told the Metro she got down on one knee to
propose and ascertained from Sheba's wagging tail that she said yes.
• She said the ceremony, which ended with a kiss, was the perfect way to mark what Sheba means to her. She
told the Metro her new life partner was never unkind to her and the dog is always happy.
• "Sheba had been in my life for years, making me laugh and comforting me when I was feeling low," she told the
Metro. "I couldn't think of anything more I'd need from a life partner.“
• Rodgers married a man 20 years ago but the marriage only lasted a few months.
• The newlywed, who cradled the dog in her lap and petted it lovingly during the interview, admitted it is a big
step to go from caring for a pet to loving it.
• But, she said, "There are different kinds of love — my love for Sheba is very deep. We have a deep connection."
• Rodgers said Sheba, a 4-year-old Jack Russell, controls whether they sleep in the bedroom and added she once
made a man sleep in the dog bed for a whole week, the Mirror reports.
• And Sheba definitely knows the spell she has Rodgers under.
• "I am totally her b----h," she said in the interview.
• The scene was emotional for some and hilarious for others.

worship

Catholic News Service POPE-SUNDAY Sep-9-2007 (590 words) xxxi
VIENNA, Austria (CNS) -- Celebrating Mass in Vienna's St.
Stephen's Cathedral, Pope Benedict XVI urged Austrian
Catholics to protect Sunday as a day of spiritual focus in an
increasingly busy world….he suggested that Sunday be
celebrated not only as a day of rest but as "the church's
weekly feast of creation."
144. The EU Must Keep Sunday, Says Catholic Church
November 18, 2008 | From theTrumpet.com
The Catholic Church wants Sunday observance enshrined in EU law. The European
Parliament is debating changes to its Working Time Directive. The Vatican wants a
clause in this law that would force every citizen in the European Union to rest on
Sunday.
The pope has been a strong advocate of the revival of Sunday keeping. “Without
Sunday [worship] we cannot live!” Pope Benedict xvi declared during a mass on
September 9 last year, stating that it was a “necessity” for all people. The bill is being
revised. During the second reading, in October, seven Members of the European
Parliament tabled an amendment saying that the minimum rest period “shall in
principle include Sunday.” The Brussels-based Commission of the Bishops’
Conferences of the European Community (comece) agrees, recommending the
directive should say “the minimal weekly rest must include Sunday.”

Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see
the abomination of desolation, spoken of
by Daniel the prophet, stand in the

and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
183. THE SIGNAL (5 Testimonies)
• “When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp
the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to
clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold
union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution
as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision
for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know
that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that
the end is near. ”(EGW 5T Page 451)
184. THE SIGNAL (5 Testimonies)
“As the approach of the Roman
armies was a sign to the
disciples of the impending
destruction of Jerusalem, so may
this apostasy be a sign to us
that the limit of God’s
forbearance is reached, that
the measure of our nation’s
iniquity is full”(.ibid 451)

192. Flee out of the Midst…
Revelation 18:2-4 And he cried mightily with a strong
voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and
is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every
foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
(3) For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath
of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have
committed fornication with her, and the merchants of
the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her
delicacies. (4) And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not
partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her
plagues.
194. The Coming Plagues
and the Close of Probation
At the time of the flood, these forests were torn up or broken down
and buried in the earth. In some places large quantities of these
immense trees were thrown together and covered with stones and
earth by the commotions of the flood. They have since petrified and
become coal, which accounts for the large coal beds which are now
found. This coal has produced oil. God causes large quantities of coal
and oil to ignite and burn. Rocks are intensely heated, limestone is
burned, and iron ore melted. Water and fire under the surface of the
earth meet. The action of water upon the limestone adds fury to the
intense heat, and causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and fiery issues. The
action of fire and water upon the ledges of rocks and ore causes loud
explosions which sound like muffled thunder. These wonderful
exhibitions will be more numerous and terrible just before the second
coming of Christ and the end of the world, as signs of its speedy
destruction. {1SP 81.3}
195. The Coming Plagues
and the Close of Probation
Coal and oil are generally to be found where there
are no burning mountains or fiery issues. When fire
and water under the surface of the earth meet, the
fiery issues cannot give sufficient vent to the heated
elements beneath. The earth is convulsed, the
ground heaves, and rises into swells or waves, and
there are heavy sounds like thunder under ground.
The air is heated, and suffocating. The earth quickly
opens, and I saw villages, cities and burning
mountains carried down together into the earth.
{1SP 82.1}
196. The Coming Plagues
and the Close of Probation
Many in Adventist circles like to speculate about the
close of probation, as they try to determine the
exact point when it will occur. We know from study
of the evidence that the close of probation occurs
just before “the time of trouble such as never was”
and this is the beginning of the last 7 plagues. So
what is the problem? Regarding the last plagues, we
think that when they begin, we will know that
probation has closed. But will we know when the
plagues have begun? This is a question we will
explore.
197. The Coming Plagues
and the Close of Probation
…[When] the irrevocable decision of the sanctuary
has been pronounced, and the destiny of the world
has been forever fixed, the inhabitants of the earth
will know it not. The forms of religion will be
continued by a people from whom the Spirit of God
has been finally withdrawn; and the Satanic zeal
with which the prince of evil will inspire them for
the accomplishment of his malignant designs, will
bear the semblance of zeal for God (GC88 614.4).
198. The Coming Plagues
and the Close of Probation
The people of God will then be plunged into
those scenes of affliction and distress described
by the prophet as the time of Jacob's trouble.
“Thus saith the Lord: We have heard a voice of
trembling, of fear, and not of peace.” “All faces
are turned into paleness. Alas! for that day is
great, so that none is like it; it is even the time of
Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.”
[Jeremiah 30:5-7.] (Ibid., 616.1).
199. The Coming Plagues
and the Close of Probation
As Satan accuses the people of God on account of
their sins, the Lord permits him to try them to the
uttermost. Their confidence in God, their faith and
firmness, will be severely tested. As they review the
past, their hopes sink; for in their whole lives they
can see little good. They are fully conscious of their
weakness and unworthiness. Satan endeavors to
terrify them with the thought that their cases are
hopeless, that the stain of their defilement will
never be washed away. He hopes to so destroy their
faith that they will yield to his temptations, and
turn from their allegiance to God (Ibid., 618.3).
200. THE SPIRIT BEING WITHDRAWN
I saw that God had children who do not see and keep
the Sabbath. They have not rejected the light upon it.
And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we
were filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth and
proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. This enraged the
churches and nominal Adventists, as they could not
refute the Sabbath truth. And at this time God's chosen
all saw clearly that we had the truth, and they came
out and endured the persecution with us. I saw the
sword, famine, pestilence, and great confusion in the
land. The wicked thought that we had brought the
judgments upon them, and they rose up and took
counsel to rid the earth of us, thinking that then the
evil would be stayed (EW 33.2).
201. THE SPIRIT BEING WITHDRAWN
“The commencement of that time of trouble,” here
mentioned does not refer to the time when the plagues
shall begin to be poured out, but to a short period just
before they are poured out, while Christ is in the
sanctuary. At that time, while the work of salvation is
closing, trouble will be coming on the earth, and the
nations will be angry, yet held in check so as not to
prevent the work of the third angel. At that time the
“latter rain,” or refreshing from the presence of the
Lord, will come, to give power to the loud voice of the
third angel, and prepare the saints to stand in the
period when the seven last plagues shall be poured out
(EW 85.3, emphasis added).
203. “Morphing” from the Little Time of Trouble
to the “Time of Trouble Such as Never Was”
In the very first case, the expression used over and over
in the Spirit of Prophecy, ‘the seven last plagues’, is in
itself very meaningful. They are not called simply the
seven plagues, but the seven last plagues. If these are
the last, then there must be a former plague or more,
because something can only be last if there is a first to
go before it (Last Day Events, p. 300).
204. Drops from the Vials:
A “Noisome and Grievous Sore”
Rev. 16:1 And I heard a great voice out of the
temple saying to the seven angels, Go your
ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of
God upon the earth.
16:2 And the first went, and poured out
his vial upon the earth; and there fell a
noisome and grievous sore upon the men
which had the mark of the beast, and [upon]
them which worshipped his image.
207. Blood-Red Rain
• On June 28,2012 The dreaded RED RAINS
returned to India and fell for about 15
minutes, causing much panic again
208.
209.
210. July 2014, Xinmeizhou Village, Zhejiang, China
Clear plastic bottles dipped into the water…quickly filled
up with the red-colored liquid which had a strange smell,
according to villagers. Local Na Wan said, “…Nobody has
any idea how it could have ended up being polluted
because there are no factories that dump anything in the
water here.” Environmental experts were on the scene
taking samples of the water and said that they suspected
it was discharged from a dye factory even though there
was none in the area. [??] One expert said, “We suspect
that maybe somebody drove here to dump stuff. We are
looking further upstream to try and find out where the
source was of this pollution.”
211. February 2012 – LEBANON – The Beirut River
mysteriously turned blood red…after a stream of
unidentified red liquid began pouring from the
southern bank of the river in Furn al-Shubbak. The
source of the liquid…[remains undetermined].
Government and local officials rushed to the
scene…in an attempt to locate the sewage canal
that was dumping the red-colored water but they
were unable to locate the source. Accusations
were traded among officials from the
municipalities…
213. “Morphing” from the Little Time of Trouble
to the “Time of Trouble Such as Never Was”
• the escalation of trouble in many realms provides the
primary motivation for the call to legislate in favor of
Sunday rest.
• the commencement of the “little time of trouble”
will be an unremarkable transitioning or a morphing
from an already troublous time, rather than an
abrupt or radical shifting.
• a continuum in three parts, each fading into the next:
– “beginning of sorrows
– “little time of trouble
– “time of trouble such as never was” (when “Michael
stands up”; Dan. 12:1)
214. “Morphing” from the Little Time of Trouble
to the “Time of Trouble Such as Never Was”
It is of the utmost importance that… [the religious] leaders
hide from the people the real cause of the troubles which
are coming upon them with mounting severity, so that they
will turn and blame the desecration of Sunday for it. And
this act on their part is a still further rejection of the claims
of God upon them as they seek to set up the false day of
worship (F. T. Wright, “Last Day Events,” pp. 301-302).
Yet this very class put forth the claim that the fast-spreading
corruption is largely attributable to the desecration of the
so-called 'Christian sabbath,' and that the enforcement of
Sunday observance would greatly improve the morals of
society (GC 587).
215.
216. Keeping Watch
We have thought that our watching had to do with the
return of Christ in the clouds, but by that time it would be
too late to get ready. We are rather to keep vigilant watch
for the close of probation. Even as we are to be in a
watching, expectant position, as the time is now drawing
near when Christ will leave the Most Holy Place in His
return from the wedding, we will not actually know when
it has taken place. What we are given to know is the
nearness of this event and as we look to world events
such as these blood red waters we are to see in them the
drops of the vials of wrath which will be poured out upon
the earth as Christ lays aside His priestly garments and
dons the “garments of vengeance.” Today is the day of
salvation and it is nearly too late to gain the experience
that we will need in order to stand in that time when the
pronouncement is made:
217. Keeping Watch
…he that is righteous, let him be righteous
still: and he that is holy, let him be holy
still.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my
reward [is] with me, to give every man
according as his work shall be (Rev.
22:11b, 12).

It was impossible for the plagues to be poured out while Jesus officiated
in the sanctuary; but as His work there is finished, and His intercession
closes, there is nothing to stay the wrath of God, and it breaks with fury
upon the shelterless head of the guilty sinner, who has slighted (EW 280)
salvation and hated reproof. In that fearful time, after the close of
Jesus’ mediation, the saints were living in the sight of a holy God
without an intercessor. Every case was decided, every jewel numbered.

223. We Are in the Day of Atonement
We are in the great day of atonement, when our sins are, by
confession and repentance, to go beforehand to judgment.
God does not now accept a tame, spiritless testimony from
His ministers. Such a testimony would not be present truth.
The message for this time must be meat in due season to
feed the church of God. But Satan has been seeking
gradually to rob this message of its power, that the people
may not be prepared to stand in the day of the Lord. {1SM
124.3}
In 1844 our great High Priest entered the most holy place
of the heavenly sanctuary, to begin the work of the
investigative judgment. The cases of the righteous dead
have been passing in review before God. WHEN THAT
WORK SHALL BE COMPLETED, JUDGMENT IS TO BE
PRONOUNCED UPON THE LIVING. {1SM 125.1}
224. It is no time to be ashamed of our faith. We are a spectacle
to the world, to angels, and to men. The whole universe is
looking with inexpressible interest to see the closing work
of the great controversy between Christ and Satan. AT
SUCH A TIME AS THIS, JUST AS THE GREAT WORK OF
JUDGING THE LIVING IS TO BEGIN, SHALL WE ALLOW
UNSANCTIFIED AMBITION TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE
HEART? What can be of any worth to us now except to be
found loyal and true to the God of heaven? What is there of
any real value in this world when we are on the very
borders of the eternal world? What education can we give
to the students in our schools that is so necessary as a
knowledge of "What saith the Scripture"? {5T 526.1}
225. THE JUDGMENT OF
THE LIVING HAPPENS
AT THE SUNDAY LAW
AND IT’S THE CLOSE
OF PROBATION FOR
ADVENTISTS
226. 1Pe 4:12-18:
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which
is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto
you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's
sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may
be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the
name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of
God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of,
but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer
as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a
busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a
Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God
on this behalf. FOR THE TIME IS COME THAT JUDGMENT
MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD: and if it first begin
at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the
gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved,
where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
227. Eze 9:4-6: And the LORD said unto him, Go through
the midst of the city, through the midst of
Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of
the men that sigh and that cry for all the
abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye
after him through the city, and smite: let not your
eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old
and young, both maids, and little children, and
women: but come not near any man upon whom is
the mark; AND BEGIN AT MY SANCTUARY. THEN
THEY BEGAN AT THE ANCIENT MEN WHICH
WERE BEFORE THE HOUSE.
228. Luke 19:41-44
And when he was come near, he beheld the city,
and wept over it, Saying, If thou hadst known,
even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which
belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from
thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee,
that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee,
and compass thee round, and keep thee in on
every side, And shall lay thee even with the
ground, and thy children within thee; and they
shall not leave in thee one stone upon another;
because thou knewest not the time of thy
visitation.
229. M't 23:31-38
Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of
them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your
fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the
damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and
wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and
some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood
shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood
of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and
the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this
generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have
gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens
under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you
desolate.
Luke 19:45
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold
therein, and them that bought;
230. John 12:20-23
And there were certain Greeks among
them that came up to worship at the
feast: The same came therefore to
Philip, which was of Bethsaida of
Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir,
we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and
telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and
Philip tell Jesus. And Jesus answered
them, saying, The hour is come, that
the Son of man should be glorified.
231. Oh, that the people might know the time of
their visitation! There are many who have
not yet heard the testing truth for this time.
There are many with whom the Spirit of God
is striving. The time of God's destructive
judgments is the time of mercy for those
who have had no opportunity to learn what
is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look upon
them. His heart of mercy is touched; His
hand is still stretched out to save, while the
door is closed to those who would not enter.
{9T 97.2}
232. The Last Deception of Satan
Satan is . . . constantly pressing in the spurious--to lead
away from the truth. The very last deception of Satan will
be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of
God. "Where there is no vision, the people perish"
(Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in different
ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the
confidence of God's remnant people in the true testimony.--
Letter 12, 1890. {1SM 48.3} There will be a hatred kindled
against the testimonies which is satanic. The workings of
Satan will be to unsettle the faith of the churches in them,
for this reason: Satan cannot have so clear a track to bring
in his deceptions and bind up souls in his delusions if the
warnings and reproofs and counsels of the Spirit of God
are heeded.-- Letter 40, 1890. {1SM 48.4}
233. The very last deception of Satan will be to make of
none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish"
(Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in
different ways and through different agencies, to
unsettle the confidence of God's remnant people
in the true testimony. He will bring in spurious
visions to mislead, and will mingle the false with
the true, and so disgust people that they will
regard everything that bears the name of visions
as a species of fanaticism; but honest souls, by
contrasting false and true, will be enabled to
distinguish between them.... {2SM 78.2}
234. God has spoken in reference to yourself. That
which you term light from heaven, He has
pronounced darkness, and the visions born of this
error, He calls a delusion. Will you believe this
testimony? Will you heed what the Lord has
spoken through Sister White, or will you cast the
word of the Lord behind you? Will you quote this
testimony as readily, and make capital of it, as you
have of testimonies of reproof given your brethren
who have erred in some things? "O consistency,
thou art a jewel!"--Letter 11, 1890. {2SM 82.1}
235.
236. Image of the Beast to Be
Formed
●"The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the
●beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to
●be the great test for the people of God, by which their
●eternal destiny will be decided." BC 7A - 976
237. "This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed.
All who prove their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to
accept a spurious sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God
Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the
truth of heavenly origin, and accept the Sunday sabbath, will receive
the mark of the beast." BC 7A - 976
Mark of the beast is given at the National Sunday Law!
238. "I then saw the third
angel. Said my
accompanying angel,
“Fearful is his work.
Awful is his mission.
He is the angel that
is to select the wheat
from the tares,
and seal, or bind, the
wheat for the
heavenly garner.
These things should
engross the whole
mind, the whole
attention.”
EW 118
239. Third Angel Causes
separation
● After reading that statement we now fully
understand that it is the Third Angel's
message that causes the final separation!
● There's a shaking going in God's church
right now...but at the Sunday Law there will
be a separation.
● When the separation takes place we will
then have a Whole Wheat Church!
240. Repent! Repent! Repent!
● “Repent ye therefore,
and be converted, that
your sins may be
blotted out, when the
times of refreshing shall
come from the presence

● When does the times of
refreshing come?
● AT THE NATIONAL
SUNDAY LAW!
241. • We are living in the time of the end. The fast-
fulfilling signs of the times declare that the
coming of Christ is near at hand. The days in
which we live are solemn and important. The
Spirit of God is gradually but surely being
withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and
judgments are already falling upon the
despisers of the grace of God. The calamities
by land and sea, the unsettled state of society,
the alarms of war, are portentous. They
forecast approaching events of the greatest
magnitude. {9T 11.1}

262. I saw that many were neglecting the preparation so
needful and were looking to the time of "refreshing"
and the "latter rain" to fit them to stand in the day of
the Lord and to live in His sight. Oh, how many I saw in
the time of trouble without a shelter! They had
neglected the needful preparation; therefore they could
not receive the refreshing that all must have to fit them
to live in the sight of a holy God. Those who refuse to be
hewed by the prophets and fail to purify their souls in
obeying the whole truth, and who are willing to believe
that their condition is far better than it really is, will
come up to the time of the falling of the plagues, and
then see that they needed to be hewed and squared for
the building. But there will be no time then to do it and
no Mediator to plead their cause before the Father. {EW
71.2}
263. • Only once a year could the high priest enter into the
most holy place, after the most careful and solemn
preparation. No mortal eye but that of the high priest
could look upon the sacred grandeur of that
apartment, because it was the especial dwelling-place
of God's visible glory. The high priest always entered it
with trembling, while the people waited his return with
solemn silence. Their earnest desires were to God for
his blessing. Before the mercy-seat God conversed with
the high priest. If he remained an unusual time in the
most holy, the people were often terrified, fearing that
because of their sins, or some sin of the priest, the
glory of the Lord had slain him. But when the sound of
the tinkling of the bells upon his garments was heard,
they were greatly relieved. He then came forth and
blessed the people. {4aSG 9.2}
264. • Matthew 24:6-13, 32-34: And ye shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these
things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7: For
nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against
kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and
earthquakes, in divers places. 8: ALL THESE ARE THE
BEGINNING OF SORROWS. 9: Then shall they deliver you up
to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all
nations for my name's sake. 10: And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one
another. 11: And many false prophets shall rise, and shall
deceive many. 12: And because iniquity shall abound, the
love of many shall wax cold. 13: But he that shall endure
unto the end, the same shall be saved. 32: Now learn a
parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33: SO
LIKEWISE YE, WHEN YE SHALL SEE ALL THESE THINGS,
KNOW THAT IT IS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS. 34: VERILY I
SAY UNTO YOU, THIS GENERATION SHALL NOT PASS, TILL
ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED.
265. • COMPLETE SEPARATION.--THE COMMAND FOUND IN REVELATION 18:4,
"COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE," MEANS TO COME OUT OF THOSE
INSTITUTIONS WHICH WILL PLACE IN THE MINDS OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE,
PRINCIPLES WHICH ARE APT TO MAKE THEM JOIN THE CLASS OF
WORSHIPERS OF WHICH WE READ IN 2 TIMOTHY 3:5: "HAVING A FORM
OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF." AS FAITHFUL
WATCHMEN, WE SHOULD BE JUST AS DESIROUS OF GETTING OUR
CHILDREN OUT OF THE POPULAR SCHOOLS AS WE ARE TO CALL THE
OLDER PEOPLE OUT OF THE POPULAR CHURCHES. THE POPULAR
CHURCHES ARE ONLY A PRODUCT OF WORLDLY EDUCATION, SO TO GET AT
THE ROOT OF THE MATTER, WE MUST SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM THAT
WHICH CREATES THE CONDITION IN WHICH ALL THE RELIGIOUS WORLD,
AT PRESENT, FINDS ITSELF. {PH081 38.1}
• Before we can carry the message of present truth in all its fulness to
other countries, we must first break every yoke. We must come into the
line of true education, walking in the wisdom of God, and not in the
wisdom of the world. God calls for messengers who will be true
reformers. We must educate, educate, to prepare a people who will
understand the message, and then give the message to the world..

Who hopes a better rest to find.
269. Verse 2
We've no abiding city here:
Sad truth! Were this to be our home!
But let this thought, our spirits cheer;
We seek a city yet to come.
270. Verse 3
We've no abiding city here,
We seek a city out of sight:
Zion it's name,--the Lord is there,
It shines with everlasting light.
271. Verse 4
O sweet abode of peace and love,
Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest;
Had I the pinions of the dove,
I'd flee to thee, and be at rest.
272. Verse 5
But hush, my soul! nor dare repine;
The time my God appoints is best:
While here to do, His will be mine,
And His to fix my time of rest.
