Battle field hollywood [final]

Ephesians 5:11
And have no
fellowship with the
unfruitful works of
darkness, but
rather reprove
them.

In the great final conflict, Satan will employ the
same policy, manifest the same spirit, and work for
the same end, as in all preceding ages. That which
has been, will be, except that the coming struggle will
be marked with a terrible intensity such as the world
has never witnessed. Satan's deceptions will be more
subtle, his assaults more determined. If it were
possible, he would lead astray the elect. GC intro. x, xi

deceived.

times in the grossest
profanity (which was not

advice when it conflicted

It is the special work of Satan in these last
days to take possession of the minds of
youth, to corrupt their thoughts, and
inflame their passions, knowing that by thus
doing he can lead them to moral pollution,
and then all the noble faculties of the mind
will become debased, and he can control
them to suit his own purposes. All are free
moral agents. And as such they must bring
their thoughts to run in the right channel.
Their meditations should be of that nature
which will elevate their minds, and make
Jesus and heaven the subjects of their
thoughts.{ApM/An Appeal to Mothers,pg 30}

THE MEDIA
“SEEING THROUGH THE EYES”
A LOOK AT THE T.V.

WHAT IS THE MEDIA?
• The media (Or Culture Medium) is the
mass communication industry, esp.
newspaper, television and radio;
journalists and other related
professionals collectively.

• A MEDIUM is a means of storing
or communicating information.

• A MEDIUM is Someone who
communicates knowledge
between the living and the dead.

WHAT DID SATAN USE AS A MEDIUM?
• In order to accomplish his work unperceived,
Satan chose to employ as his medium the
serpent--a disguise well adapted for his
purpose of deception. The serpent was then
one of the wisest and most beautiful
creatures on the earth.[Patriarchs and
Prophets, pp 54]

Sir William Crookes
(17 June 1832 – 4 April 1919)

science had a duty to study

(Crookes 1870).

Among the mediums he
studied were Kate Fox,
Florence Cook, and Daniel
Dunglas Home Among the
phenomena he witnessed
were movement of bodies at
a distance, rappings, changes
in the weights of bodies,
levitation, appearance of
luminous objects, appearance
of phantom figures,
appearance of writing without
human agency

Testimonies for the Church
Volume 9,page 19
In a special sense Seventh-day Adventists
have been set in the world as watchmen and light
bearers. To them has been entrusted the last
warning for a perishing world. On them is shining
wonderful light from the Word of God. They
have been given a work of the most solemn
import--the proclamation of the first,
second, and third angels' messages. There
is no other work of so great importance. They are
to allow nothing else to absorb their attention.

God has called His church in
this day, as He called ancient
Israel, to stand as a light in the
earth. By the mighty cleaver of
truth, the messages of the first,
second, and third angels, He
has separated them from the
churches and from the world
to bring them into a sacred
nearness to Himself. He has
made them the depositaries of
His law and has committed to
them the great truths of
prophecy for this time

I saw that we have no time to throw away in listening
to fables. Our minds should not be thus diverted, but
should be occupied with the present truth, and seeking
wisdom that we may obtain a more thorough
knowledge of our position, that with meekness we may
be able to give a reason of our hope from the
Scriptures. While false doctrines and dangerous
errors are pressed upon the mind, it cannot be
dwelling upon the truth which is to fit and prepare the
house of Israel to stand in the day of the Lord.

“Put together a system of
magic,that if combined
with the powers of
music,would be able to
revolutionize the world.”
Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The
Whole Of The Law-Under Love

The use of music in sacred ceremonies and
shamanic rituals has occurred since ancient
times. It has recently been verified that sounds
can be used to effect and change our
brainwaves. The changes of these rates crates
changes in consciousness, allowing mystically
altered states to be induced. The relationship
between occult wisdom and sounds may at
first seem far removed. Yet, in the Ancient
Mystery Schools of Egypt, Rome, Greece, Tibet,
India and other centers of learning, knowledge
of sounds was a highly refined science.

What is the Purpose of MUSIC ?
Music was made to serve a holy purpose, to lift the
thoughts to that which is pure, noble, and elevating,
and to awaken in the soul devotion and gratitude to
God. What a contrast between the ancient custom
and the uses to which music is now too often
devoted!
{This what we should be looking for in
our choice of music. She goes on} .....
Thus that which is a great blessing when
rightly used, becomes one of the most
successful agencies by which Satan
allures the mind from duty and from the
contemplation of eternal things. {MYP

‘For changing people’s manners and altering

“If one should

Music directly imitates the
passions or states of the
soul...when one listens to
music that imitates a
certain passion, he
becomes imbued withthe
same passion; and if over
a long time he habitually
listens to music that
rouses ignoble passions,
his whole character will be
shaped to an ignoble

In the hands of Satan, temptation
has become a science. He is the god
of this world because the world has
chosen him as its master... In his
temptation of our first parents, Satan
could not force them to transgress,
but he could suggest allurements to
sin, and the mind that is open to his
suggestions is the medium through
which he works to allure other
minds.

Television and the Theater
"Surely no one preparing for the coming of Jesus
will found at the THEATER, the CARNIVAL. The
MOVIE HOUSE, the OPERA, the CIRCUS, the
DANCE, the CARD TABLE, or in ATTENDANCE AT
COMMERCIALIZED SPORTS…We strongly urge
from worldly Associations at SKATING RINKS and
public BATHING BEACHES. The same article took a
strong stance against JEWELRY and stated
specifically, 'NO CIRCLET OF GOLD should be worn
as a testimony to MARRIAGE VOW.'" –Review and
Herald, October 1945

• Among the most dangerous resorts for
pleasure is the theater. Instead of being a
school of morality and virtue, as is so often
claimed, it is the very hotbed of immorality.
Vicious habits and sinful propensities are
strengthened and confirmed by these
entertainments. Low songs, lewd gestures,
expressions, and attitudes, deprave the
imagination and debase the morals. {LDE 87.2}

• Every youth who habitually attends such
exhibitions will be corrupted in principle.
There is no influence in our land more
powerful to poison the imagination, to destroy
religious impressions, and to blunt the relish
for the tranquil pleasures and sober realities
of life than theatrical amusements. The love
for these scenes increases with every
indulgence, as the desire for intoxicating drink
strengthens with its use.--4T 652, 653
(1881).7.3}

• The blessing of God would not be
invoked upon the hour spent at the
theater or in the dance. No Christian
would wish to meet death in such a
place. No one would wish to be
found there when Christ shall come.-

Angel With Scales
I have seen an angel standing with scales in his
hands weighing the thoughts and interest of the
people of God, especially the young. In one scale
were the thoughts and interest tending heavenward;
in the other were the thoughts and interest tending
to earth. And in this scale were thrown all the
reading of storybooks, thoughts of dress and show,
vanity, pride, et cetera. Oh, what a solemn moment!
the angels of God standing with scales, weighing the
thoughts of His professed children--those who claim
to be dead to the world and alive to God

The scale filled with thoughts of earth, vanity, and
pride quickly went down, notwithstanding weight
after weight rolled from the scale. The one with
the thoughts and interest tending to heaven went
quickly up as the other went down, and oh, how
light it was! I can relate this as I saw it; but never
can I give the solemn and vivid impression
stamped upon my mind, as I saw the angel with
the scales weighing the thoughts and interest of
the people of God. Said the angel: "Can such enter
heaven? No, no, never. Tell them the hope they
now possess is vain, and unless they speedily
repent, and obtain salvation, they must perish." . .
. {Mar 42.1}

I also saw that many do not realize what they must be in order to live
in the sight of the Lord without a high priest in the sanctuary
through the time of trouble. Those who receive the seal of the living
God and are protected in the time of trouble must reflect the image of
Jesus fully. {EW 71.1} 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. {EW 71.}

Probation is about to close. . . . Soon the last prayer
for sinners will have been offered, the last tear shed,
the last warning given, the last entreaty made, and the
sweet voice of mercy will be heard no more. This is why
Satan is making such mighty efforts to secure men and
women in his snare. . . . The enemy is playing the game
of life for every soul. He is working to remove from us
everything of a spiritual nature, and in the place of the
precious graces of Christ to crowd our hearts with the
evil traits of the carnal nature-hatred, evil surmising,
jealousy, love of the world, love of self, love of pleasure,
and the pride of life. We need to be fortified against the
incoming foe, . . . for unless we are watchful and
prayerful these evils will enter the heart and crowd out
all that is good. {HP 312.3}
