This document provides information about a revival week being held at Maseno University from 20-26 July 2015. The theme is "The Sanctuary" and focuses on key truths such as the sanctuary message and the 2300 day prophecy. It emphasizes that present truth needs to be the focus of messages to prepare God's people. It warns of the dangers of focusing on topics that do not unite or sanctify souls. Finally, it encourages preparing for the end times by getting ready spiritually and reflecting Christ's image fully.

2. REVIVAL WEEK - MASENO UNIVERSITY
DATE: 20-26-2015
THEME: THE SANCTUARY
TEXT: PSALMS 77:13
SONG 430: JUDGMENT HAS SET

3. TIME LIMIT IN
THE
SANCTUARY

4. “Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as
our God?
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}

5. • Christ says to man, "You are mine. I have bought you. You are now only a rough
stone, but if you will place yourself in my hands, I will polish you, and the luster with
which you shall shine will bring honor to My name. No man shall pluck you out of My
hand. I will make you My peculiar treasure. On My coronation day, you will be a jewel
in My crown of rejoicing." {OHC 322.3}
• The divine Worker spends little time on worthless material. Only the precious jewels
does He polish after the similitude of a palace, cutting away all the rough edges. This
process is severe and trying; it hurts human pride. Christ cuts deep into the
experience that man in his self-sufficiency has regarded as complete, and takes
away self-uplifting from the character. He cuts away the surplus surface, and putting
the stone to the polishing wheel, presses it close, that all roughness may be worn
away. Then, holding the jewel up to the light, the Master sees in it a reflection of
Himself, and He pronounces it worthy of a place in His casket. "In that day, saith the
Lord of hosts, will I take thee,... and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen
thee, saith the Lord of hosts." Blessed be the experience, however severe, that gives
new value to the stone, and causes it to shine with living brightness. {OHC 322.4}

6. FINAL PREPARATIONS AND FINAL
APPEALS OF MERCY
Proverb 22:3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth
himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.
Let everyone who loves God consider that now while it is day is
the time to work, not among the sheep already in the fold, but to
go out in search of the lost and perishing ones. These need to
have special help to bring them back to the fold. Now is the time
for the careless to arouse from their slumber. Now is the time to
entreat that souls shall not only hear the word of God, but without
delay secure oil in their vessels with their lamps. That oil is the
righteousness of Christ. It represents character, and character is
not transferable. No man can secure it for another. Each must
obtain for himself a character purified from every stain of sin.
{TM 233.2}

9. 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;

10. 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}

12. Never did this message apply with greater force than it applies
today. More and more the world is setting at nought the claims of
God. Men have become bold in transgression. The wickedness
of the inhabitants of the world has almost filled up the measure of
their iniquity. This earth has almost reached the place where God
will permit the destroyer to work his will upon it. The substitution
of the laws of men for the law of God, the exaltation, by merely
human authority, of Sunday in place of the Bible Sabbath, is the
last act in the drama. When this substitution becomes universal,
God will reveal Himself. He will arise in His majesty to shake
terribly the earth. He will come out of His place to punish the
inhabitants of the world for their iniquity, and the earth shall
disclose her blood and shall no more cover her slain. {7T 141.1}

13. My heart is filled with anguish when I think of the
tame messages borne by some of our ministers,
when they have a message of life and death to
bear. The ministers are asleep; the lay members
are asleep; and a world is perishing in sin. {8T
37.1}

14. M't 24:6-8: 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. For nation shall rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and
pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the
beginning of sorrows.
Rom 8:19-23: 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.
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of
the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for
the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

15. While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who
can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster,
until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even
now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by
land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific
hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and
earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, 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. {DD 33.4}

16. The Cause of Evil Falsely Identified
And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are
causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven
will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God's
commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. 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.
Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated
and upon grounds equally well established: "And it came to pass, when Ahab
saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he
answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that
ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed
Baalim." 1 Kings 18:17, 18. As the wrath of the people shall be excited by
false charges, they will pursue a course toward God's ambassadors very
similar to that which apostate Israel pursued toward Elijah. {DD 34.1}

17. 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

18. THE 6
INDICATOR
S OF THE
END

25. 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}

30. The restoring of economy and passing of the
Sunday Law to enrich few at the expense of
many:
Rev 13:17: And that no man might buy or sell,
save he that had the mark, or the name of the
beast, or the number of his name.
Dan 11:42, 43: He shall stretch forth his hand
also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt
shall not escape. But he shall have power over
the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all
the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans
and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

31. • In the normal circumstances, it is the Pope who is kissed his feet when visited but the
tables are turned to prepare the world for something so deceitful

33. 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
178.3}

37. HOW NEAR IS NEAR
????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
•MATTHEW 24:33 SO LIKEWISE
YE, WHEN YE SHALL SEE ALL
THESE THINGS, KNOW THAT IT
IS NEAR, EVEN AT THE DOORS.

38. "Time is almost finished. Do you reflect the
lovely image of Jesus as you should?"
Then I was pointed to the earth and saw
that there would have to be a getting ready
among those who have of late embraced
the third angel's message. Said the angel,
"Get ready, get ready, get ready. Ye will
have to die a greater death to the world
than ye have ever yet died." I saw that
there was a great work to do for them and
but little time in which to do it. {EW 64.1}

40. 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}

42. Eden lost is Eden restored, restore the marred image of
God in man
1Peter 2:21-25 For even hereunto were ye called:
because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an
example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no
sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he
was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he
threatened not; but committed himself to him that
judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in
his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins,
should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye
were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray; but
are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your
souls.

44. Re:6:17: For the great day of his wrath is come; and
who shall be able to stand?
God's purpose in giving the third angel's message to
the world is to prepare a people to stand true to Him
during the investigative judgment. This is the purpose
for which we establish and maintain our publishing
houses, our schools, our sanitariums, hygienic
restaurants, treatment rooms, and food factories. This
is our purpose in carrying forward every line of work in
the cause. Ms 154, 1902, p. 4. ("Instruction to Men in
Positions of Responsibility," October 24, 1902.) {1MR
228.2}

46. Rom 16:17, 18: Now I beseech you, brethren, mark
them which cause divisions and offences contrary to
the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ,
but their own belly; and by good words and fair
speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Ph'p:3:17-19: Brethren, be followers together of me,
and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an
ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you
often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the
enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is
destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory
is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)

49. What are we supposed to do?
Results of Church School Work
When properly conducted, church schools will be the means of lifting the standard of
truth in the places where they are established; for children who are receiving a
Christian education will be witnesses for Christ. As Jesus in the temple solved the
mysteries which priests and rulers had not discerned, so in the closing work of this
earth children who have been rightly educated will in their simplicity speak words which
will be an astonishment to men who now talk of "higher education." As the children
sang in the temple courts, "Hosanna; Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the
Lord," so in these last days children's voices will be raised to give the last message of
warning to a perishing world. When heavenly intelligences see that men are no longer
permitted to present the truth, the Spirit of God will come upon the children, and they
will do a work in the proclamation of the truth which the older workers cannot do,
because their way will be hedged up. {6T 202.2} Our church schools are ordained by
God to prepare the children for this great work. Here children are to be instructed in the
special truths for this time and in practical missionary work. They are to enlist in the
army of workers to help the sick and the suffering. Children can take part in the medical
missionary work and by their jots and tittles can help to carry it forward. Their
investments may be small, but every little helps, and by their efforts many souls will be
won to the truth. By them God's message will be made known and His saving health to
all nations. Then let the church carry a burden for the lambs of the flock. Let the
children be educated and trained to do service for God, for they are the Lord's heritage.
{6T 203.1}

50. It was God's will that the tidings of the Saviour's coming should be given in the
Scandinavian countries; and when the voices of His servants were silenced,
He put His Spirit upon the children, that the work might be accomplished.
When Jesus drew near to Jerusalem attended by the rejoicing multitudes that,
with shouts of triumph and the waving of palm branches, heralded Him as the
Son of David, the jealous Pharisees called upon Him to silence them; but
Jesus answered that all this was in fulfillment of prophecy, and if these should
hold their peace, the very stones would cry out. The people, intimidated by the
threats of the priests and rulers, ceased their joyful proclamation as they
entered the gates of Jerusalem; but the children in the temple courts
afterward took up the refrain, and, waving their branches of palm, they cried:
"Hosanna to the Son of David!" Matthew 21:8-16. When the Pharisees, sorely
displeased, said unto Him, "Hearest Thou what these say?" Jesus answered,
"Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast
perfected praise?" As God wrought through children at the time of Christ's first
advent, so He wrought through them in giving the message of His second
advent. God's word must be fulfilled, that the proclamation of the Saviour's
coming should be given to all peoples, tongues, and nations. {GC 367.2}

51. 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}
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}

52. 2Peter 1:10-12, 15, 16, 19 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give
diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do
these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be
ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wherefore I will not be
negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things,
though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease
to have these things always in remembrance. For we have not
followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto
you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were
eyewitnesses of his majesty. We have also a more sure word of
prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light
that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star
arise in your hearts:

54. 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;

55. The value of a soul, who can estimate? Would you
know its worth, go to Gethsemane, and there
watch with Christ through those hours of anguish,
when He sweat as it were great drops of blood.
Look upon the Saviour uplifted on the cross. Hear
that despairing cry, "My God, My God, why hast
Thou forsaken Me?" Mark 15:34. Look upon the
wounded head, the pierced side, the marred feet.
Remember that Christ risked all. For our
redemption, heaven itself was imperiled. At the
foot of the cross, remembering that for one sinner
Christ would have laid down His life, you may
estimate the value of a soul. {COL 196.4}

56. Before the Father [Christ] pleaded in the sinner’s
behalf, while the host of heaven awaited the result
with an intensity of interest that words cannot
express. Long continued was that mysterious
communing—“the counsel of peace”for the fallen
human race. The plan of salvation had been laid
before the creation of the earth, for Christ is “the
Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Yet it
was a struggle, even with the King of the universe,
to yield up His Son to die for the guilty race. . . .
Oh, the mystery of redemption! The love of God
for a world that did not love Him! Who can know
the depths of that love that “passeth knowledge”? .
. . {CTr 30.4}

57. 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}

58. 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}

59. 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}

67. 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}

68. From the first dawn of reason the human
mind should become intelligent in regard to
the physical structure. Here Jehovah has
given a specimen of Himself; for man was
made in the image of God. It is Satan's
determined work to destroy the moral
image of God in man. He would make the
intelligence of man, his highest, noblest
gift, the most destructive agent to pollute
with sin everything he touches.--MS. 3,
1897. {MM 221.3}

70. A listless, unfeeling manner of presenting
the truth will never arouse men and women
from their deathlike slumber. They must
show by their manners, by their acts and
words, and by their preaching and praying,
that they believe that Christ is at the door.
Men and women are in the last hours of
probation, and yet are careless and stupid,
and ministers have no power to arouse
them; they are asleep themselves. Sleeping
preachers preaching to a sleeping people!
{2T 337.2}

71. Everything will mean nothing in just a little short while.
M'r:8:36: For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain
the whole world, and lose his own soul
"Time is almost finished. Do you reflect the lovely
image of Jesus as you should?" Then I was pointed
to the earth and saw that there would have to be a
getting ready among those who have of late embraced
the third angel's message. Said the angel, "Get ready,
get ready, get ready. Ye will have to die a greater death
to the world than ye have ever yet died." I saw that
there was a great work to do for them and but little
time in which to do it. {EW 64.1}

72. The Son of God went away
the second time, and
prayed, saying: "O My
Father, if this cup may not
pass away from Me, except
I drink it, Thy will be done."
And again He came to His
disciples and found them
sleeping. Their eyes were
heavy. By these sleeping
disciples is represented a
sleeping church, when the
day of God's visitation is
nigh. It is a time of clouds
and thick darkness, when to
be found asleep is most
perilous. {2T 205.1}
