Satan’s Convention

February 25, 2012

Recently a church friend sent me some Christian literature and I saw a story written about how Satan would preside over a “devil’s convention”. It appeared right on target. So let us look into this meeting. (Author unknown)

                                 SATAN’S PLAN & MEETING

       It is said that Satan called a worldwide convention of demons…In his opening address he said, “We can’t keep Christians from going to church! We can’t keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth. We can’t even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their Savior.

Once they gain that connection with Jesus , our power over them is broken. So let them go to their churches, let them have their covered dish dinners, but steal their time, so they don’t have time to develop a relationship with Jesus  Christ.

This is what you should do” said the devil. “Distract them from gaining hold of their Savior and maintaining that vital connection  throughout their day!” 

“How shall we do this?” the demons shouted. “Keep them busy in the nonessentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their  minds ” he answered. “Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow. Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles. Keep them from spending time with their children. As families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!

Over stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still small voice. Entice them to play the radio or stereo player whenever they drive…keep the TV, VCR,CD’s and their PC’s going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly. This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ.

Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers. Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day. Invade their driving moments with billboards. Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering for free products, services and false hopes.

Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what is important, and they’ll become dissatified with their wives. Keep the wives too tired to love theri husbands at night. If they they don’t give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere. That will fragment their families quickly!!

Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas. Give them Easter Bunny so they won’t talk about His resurrection and power over sin and death. Even in their recreation, let them be excessive…have them return from recreation exhausted.Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God’s creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead.

Keep them busy, busy, busy!!  And when they meet for fellowship, let them leave with troubled consciences. Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus. Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause. It will work! It will work!”

It was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to have little time for their God or their families. Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives. I guess the question is…. has Satan been successful at his scheme?

You be the judge, does “busy” really mean:

B-eing

U-nder

S-atan’s

Y-oke ???

In this convention plan, we can see his all encompassing influence through out the world. We must be fully aware that Satan and his demons are fighting for their lives right now! They know scripture brilliantly and they knew well the  last days sign of (Mal.4:5) “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” This was their cue to pull out all stops, distractions everywhere.

Look at the what happened in the mid 1950’s. Rock and roll music exploded onto the scene. And shortly after,  morality was “let loose”, free love and anything goes. Then the electronic bombardment came in the 1980’s (computers, cell phones,pagers, etc.). Now, there are so many distractions, that unless we summit to our King, we have but little chance of escaping their snares. It is indeed a super gigantic spiritual warfare for the souls of humanity.

Let’s change that word busy to mean,

B-eing

U-nder

S-avior’s

Y-oke

“Help I Can’t See”

February 18, 2012

Recently a good friend of mine related how her efforts to reach her Father, a Seventh Day Adventist, with God’s end time message was going bad. As I listened over dinner with her, the Spirit was guiding me towards asking her some  questions.

I listened as she told of her outreach efforts. Diane (name changed) had studied, and I mean studied, the Lord’s end time message as presented in the Davidian message, and had accepted it, unable to prove it wrong. She naturally wanted to share it with her immediate family (ie. her Mother and Father, both SDA). So she slowly began to mention the truths and a little later handed him a DVD of the “Daniel 2” vision prophecy.

Soon the two were discussing the subject. He did not readily accept it and their discussions became more testy. At this point, I started to ask her about her Dad’s walk with the Lord.  I soon found out he much preferred TV to studying every night. This to me was a BIG warning sign. And frankly the reason I was guided to this post. Idol worship was involved.  Could it be that many are blind today because something has their devoted attention, thereby blinding them to truth? Let’s look into this area.

First, I would like to relate my own story that may shed some light on the point, of how idols and worldly interests can  hinder our discovery of God’s truth.

Even after I accepted the Sabbath truth and got baptised, my walk for at least the first year, was a little blurred. By that I mean, I still played poker occasionally, did tobacco, watched TV a fair amount of time. I did other things that weren’t exactly Christ like. But during that time I remember listening to Doug Batchelor talk about the 144,000. He said something to the effect that they weren’t  the “total saved” and sealed from the SDA church, only kinda like super apostles, and I was like “yeah that’s right!” in my heart. For I didn’t want to hear and believe anything otherwise.   I was still holding on to a few sins, unable to let go. I wanted the best of both worlds and yet claim the Lord as my Savior.

Fast forward to early May 2011. My walk was going at least somewhat strong despite the holding on as mentioned. But the fateful day came when I drove by a church in a close town nearby that would change my course forever. I was crushed to find out that their SDA church was allowing commercial business to remain open on their own property on Sabbath! I didn’t plan anything  (certainly not the   sighing crying)  as I drove on after learning this. But something awoke in me, something was triggered.

Shortly after,  our all knowing Lord then led me to listen to a Davidian message about the  144,000. Shocked and thrilled were the emotions I immediately felt. Shocked because this was so different and solemn from what I had been taught. Yet thrilled that the Lord had bestowed to me His light on  this important truth.

As I began to search these truths out I discovered much more than I even thought was possible. One of the most important truths I learned was that the Lord is not messing around,  He wants our full devotion and letting go of sin. His blood was His great sacrifice and we can’t claim that salvation with anything less than our full effort to walk upright and “sin no more”. I then looked upon each and every “little” continual sin I was doing and by God’s Holy Spirit started chopping them out of my life.

As I let go and studied, the scriptures began to get clearer and clearer, especially the Old Testament. Clear understandings and visions came that I couldn’t see before. The continual “little” distractions removed, I was no longer hindered in my understanding what God was trying to tell me.

In (Isaiah 59:2) we read “But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God. And you sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear.” Could it be that those who cannot understand God’s end time message have not dealt , first and foremost, with their own sins?  Is there a blind wall that can only be removed by getting rid of our continual sinning? The answer certainly must be-yes.

God’s light in the word, as spoken through His prophets, cannot be rightly understood while we wish to stay in our unconverted state. This is why, as in the example above with Diane’s Father, he finds it nearly impossible to see the clear light shown him. As he listens to Diane speak , he has his idol (TV) going in the background, just waiting to ensnare him again, thus continuing his slippery slope away from truth.

Plain and simple, the “Spirit of Truth” cannot work for us as long as we have one foot in the world and one foot in our Lord’s work.  We cannot serve two masters. “You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jer:29:13).

Speaking to the apostles our Lord said “When the Spirit of Truth has come, He will guide you to all truth. He won’t speak His own words. He will speak what He hears and will tell you about things to come.(John 16:13)”  Were the apostles clean and converted when our Lord spoke those words to them? Ofcourse.  Our Lord knows that His Spirit of Truth can work for converted people, even showing them the things to come. It cannot work on the  unconverted. They will not be able to see and understand truth as God would have them.

I remember having long debates and discussions with Sunday keepers about the Sabbath. I would get so baffled why they could not see the plain spoken word as it reads. Now it is understood why. “Sin is transgression of the Law” (1 John 3:4) breaking the Sabbath continually will grind to a halt the Spirit of Truth working freely in their life.

Our Lord is about to do a most solemn act, which will shock the world. Now is the time convert. And when you do, you’ll see clearly God’s truth and end time plans and you’ll be comforted knowing you will be looked after. Thoughts of joy and bliss will engulf you, as you see visions of His kingdom and being with Him. The gold crystal streets, the beautiful landscape, the heavenly music, the pure crystal flowing water streams.

All this will be ours if only we make a full commitment to Christ, turning from our sins and enabling our Lord to fulfill His promise to  send us the Spirit of Truth, so that we can understand His truth clearly and then walk according to that light. If we don’t commit as we should,  our very soul may cry out “help I can’t see”.

Please keep my friend’s Father and Mother in your prayers.

In Christ, and Whose guidance makes this post possible–Rob.

Esteeming Our Brothers And Sisters

February 11, 2012

As the Lord often does, I was scheduled to post on another subject, but instead I was led to see the importance of this post, as how we can effectively  support our brothers in sisters in these very important last days.

Perhaps one of the most clear and divine words on “brotherly and sisterly love” is found in the much revealing — 1 Thes. 5:11 to 5:14. When I read it I was struck how much it really says in those verses. Let us read those words.  ” Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you warnings. And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.”

Let’s take a closer look at what the above message is for us, particularly we’ll focus on the highlighted areas. As we know,  time is just about to close, as we know it. The next act upon the world will truly shake the world up.So it becomes very important that we, as brothers and sisters, take heed in our conduct towards each other. Let us read from God’s inspired writings how to love , respect and even honor each other — true “esteeming” one another, for the glory of God.

In the first highlight, we notice the point of “comforting each other”. This is paramount if we wish to show each other that we are indeed Christ’s disciples. “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35). This means we are courteous, attentive, and caring in our relations to each other.  I have said it many times, but one of the worse actions we can do as representatives of Christ, is to ignore a brother or sister.

Our King set the example by showing a comforting care for His people, never ignoring them, even on their questions. I have heard people say ‘Even Jesus didn’t answer every question asked of Him”. Those questions or concerns from a brother or sister were always answered. He did ignore some of the pharisee’s and ungodly men’s questions, yes. He saw through them as a trap or useless points of contention. Remember we are called “servants” which means to serve or help.

In the second highlight –edify one another, we can see that we are told to work with and teach each other. This is an important part of our relationship to each other as brothers and sisters, most especially in these last hours. In (2 Tim. 2:15) we read  “Study to show your self approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Here we see that our teaching and learning is in fact -our work. Instead of watching TV, seeing a movie, reading  a novel, are we active in our learning and teaching one another? Are  we punching in our timecard for that great Employer in heaven, whose payback is awesome?

EGW says the following concerning our studies and what we’re do do about it. “Those who walk in the light will see signs of the approaching peril; but they are not to sit in quiet, unconcerned expectancy of the ruin, comforting themselves with the belief that God will shelter His people in the day of visitation. Far from it. They should realize that it is their duty to labor diligently to save others, looking with strong faith to God for help.” (Testimonies for the church, Vol.5, p.209)

Personally the Lord has convinced me of the importance of our work right now. As time is quickly running out. I even called my cable company and cut back the service to the bare minimum as I am finding I have very little time for distractions anymore, in favor of studying and spreading God’s end time message.  I look at soul winning now, as I used to in stock investment winning or property winning. “…Behold all things become new”(2 Cor. 5:17). Even our outlook on money.

On the next point “know them which labor among you” we see that we are instructed to get to know those who are co-workers in the message. We have such opportunities to get to know a fellow worker most likely in our church and internet groups (particularly Facebook). Infact Paul uses the words “we beseech you brethren…” in placing special emphasis on getting to know our co-workers.  We’ve all heard the phrase “no man is an island”, this most specially applies to our message work today.

As we set up our different bible study groups, within our churches or even the one on one correspondence in homes or internet,let’s keep foremost in mind that we are trying to win souls for Christ and as such we need to know who are co-workers are. Many times we may be stumped on some point or question and when we have many co-workers we know , we have a support team to fall back on.

Particularly you’ll notice we are told to get to know “those who have charge over you and give you warnings.” This is very important. Here the word charge doesn’t mean like a boss, or other worldly superior. It means get to know those who have more light or are “more studied” than you are in the last message from our Lord, in other word’s our leaders. We shouldn’t want to get to know those who are sending the same luke warm peace and safety everybody’s fine message. Why? Well Paul identifies who the well studied are —they give warnings! As we clearly know, we as the laodicean church need anything but lukewarm peace and safety messages  now.

Next we notice we are to  “Esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake.”  It basically is saying to hold in high regard those who are active in the work,  “love” them for it.  When we are very pleased with a brother or sister who is doing their share to uplift God’s word and message ,let’s love them for it. Sadly those who have not softened their hearts cannot “esteem” as shown here in God’s word. Instead some look for ways to criticize the work and workers.

EGW gives us some clear words of wisdom in this regard “Brethren, will you carry the Spirit of Christ with you as you return to your homes and churches? Will you put away unbelief and criticism? We are coming to a time when, more than ever before, we shall need to press together, to labor unitedly. In union there is strength.” (The Ellen White 1888 Materials, p.903)

The point about being united cannot be overstated. Let me give some specific examples. Let’s say you are involved in a group of like minded believers. You enjoy the studying and sharing but there is a certain one, you don’t really understand clearly. Instead of inquiring of them as to what they really mean on certain points you don’t understand or even disagree with, you instead hold inside a certain enmity(ill will) or even dislike for them. You even murmur on occasions. Is this the Christ like way to handle this situation?

Absolutely not, instead how about inquiring of them in a friendly manner “hey brother of sister,  you said …. and I don’t really understand it. Can you explain it more?” Why not clear the air? You just may find out that your understanding of their position is off and it’s not what you think. Again EGW says it beautifully   “Often if those who find fault knew the truth in regard to those whom they find fault, they would have an altogether different opinion of them.” (Test. for the church ,Vol. 8, p.83)

In the next highlight of our study we see we are to “warn the unruly”, this term in the hebrew is actually the “insubordinates”.This means those who fall out of line, who disrupt and generally cause division. In our Facebook group called Truth Tellers, we sometimes have members who join with the sole purpose of disproving our stated beliefs. It’s the pharisee type of questioning (entrapment) that shows us  a clear “out of order’ behavior, which we are careful to warn. So in a Christ like way we warn them.

As serious Christians it is good to ask questions to learn but when the answer has been shown clear from the inspired writings and the questioner doesn’t admit he or she sees the light. A serious problem exists. It shows that pride of being right is more important than the love of truth-not good. “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”(James 4:6)

How we handle being corrected speak volumes in our relationship with God. When I have been shown to be in error, I must accept it and move on. If I don’t my whole walk takes a serious detour and “self” becomes more important than Truth(our Lord)

Lastly, we see that the weaker ones among us, are to be supported. And that our patience should be toward all. Again we should be quick to care and attend to a brother or sister. Any aloofness must be dealt with in our character and tossed out like a dirty rag.

So in closing, may we learn to esteem our brothers and sisters and be united in our cause to speak our Lord’ s last day message of “present truth”. Our Lord prayed for our unity, let us not fail Him in this regard.

Final Events, DSDA vs. SDA, Part 2 of 2

February 4, 2012

Last week we looked at how the SDA and the DSDA have two very different views of the next big event to happen to God’s remnant church. To simplify, we see that the SDA believe that the world’s governing bodies will enact a “universal” Sunday law, compelling all people the world over to worship on Sunday to the “Lord”. The DSDA believe that the event that will soon take place before the Sunday laws take place is the “church judgement” which is when our Lord will execute the beginning phase of the judgement for the “living”.

Let’s continue with the SDA view.

Many are aware of the great leadership role of the SDA by Doug Batchelor and his team ( Amazing Facts org). I have always respected and admired his straight forward and knowledgeable views on many areas of Biblical truths. He has also been courageous in taking on some controversial issues (women pastors for example). A while back on their Sunday evening  call-in question and answer show, I spoke to the co-host of that show (about 7 or 8 months ago).

At that time I had just started learning the real truth on the 144,000. But as I was learning, I wanted to know for sure what one of the leaders among the SDA had to say about the 144,000. So I called in and got through. The answer came as follows — The 144,000 are kind of like “super apostles”. They’ll go out into the world and bring in many from babyon (the heathen and Sunday worshipers).

So it is very clear to see that the view is that the 144,000 will be a “separate”  blessed people from among the SDA, who have super powerful abilities from God to preach a strong and forceful message before the Sunday laws are established and “marks” are placed on those who submit. The “rest” of the SDA are  watching and doing their less powerful part to help the heathen. The SDA church as a  church body continues all the way up to the establishment of the Sunday law.

The work of bringing the many out of babylon goes out until the 7 last plaques begin. So the final event view is pretty basic with the following important actions — bring them out of the Sunday churches with God’s message now, and teach and prepare for the dreaded Sunday law. Look for our Lord’s coming in the clouds very soon after the plaques hit. (The end time view from the SDA standpoint is largely from the Great Controversy book).

Now, let’s look at a  serious complication, or giant hurdle if you may, that puts the above view in disjointed array. The hurdle is found in our prophetess’ writings in (Testimonies to Ministers, p.445) ” This sealing of God’s servants is the same that was shown to Ezekiel in vision. John also had been a witness to this most startling revelation.” The only place in the book of Ezekiel that speaks of a sealing or marking is chapter 9. We’ll revisit this issue later on.

There are some among the SDA who do profess in the belief of Ezekiel 9 happening but they claim it occurs as the Sunday law is enforced. In other words, the “law” itself will be the seperation of the righteous and un-righteous. Let’s see how brother Houteff addresses this.

“If it be true that the beast’s decree is to sift out the unconverted (the tares) that are in the church then one must conclude that the beast is not symbol of a power of dragon-like principle, but a heaven-sent agency, sent to cast out the tare which the dragon has brought in!

From Ezekiel 9 we see that not the “beast” but the angels are to do this. After the one with the writer’s inkhorn by his side mark those who sigh and cry for the abominations that are done in their midst, the five with slaughter weapons follow on to slay all who are left with out the mark. And this great purgation, as both the prophecy itself and them testimonies specifically state, takes place in the church. (See Test. to Ministers, p.445; Testimonies, vol3, p.266,267: Testimonies Vol5, p.210, 211; also Tract No. 1, the Darnanelles fo the Bible)

It is Satan’s predetermined purpose to pollute the church by multiplying instead of reducing the disloyal members. And if his most dramatic fiat is to purify the church, than to what purpose does the Lord “suddenly come to His temple..and..sit as a refiner and purifier of silver” (Mal. 3:1-3) why is a message to cause the shaking (early Writings, p.270); an why are the angels of Ezekiel 9, those who “shall come forth” to “sever the wicked from among the just”? (Matt.13:49)

Is the burden of the purifying work, Satan’s or the Lord’s? Satan is doing nothing to purify the church, but is doing everything to pollute it.

Therefore the beast’s decree and his rigid enforcement of it, are not for the purpose of purifying the church, but for the purpose of blockading the way out of babylon, thereby holding the world captive. This he does specifically to halt the steady flow of multitudes of converts to the then purged and purified church. In spite, however of the enemy’s heaviest efforts to keep them in babylon, the faithful will come out.

They will take heed to the Lord’s counsel: “If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into  the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb.” (Rev.14:9,10) ( Answerer, Vol. 3, Question 68)

But let’s now look at the DSDA end time views. As Davidians, they also believe in the scenario’s presented by EGW on the GC book. However they put just as  much emphasis on her other books, such as Early Writings (particularly p. 269 and after), Testimonies for the church volumes, Testimonies to Ministers, and others. They look at the “whole picture” from EGW’s writings, not just the GC book. They also take heed to the “solemn” things she points out as well. Many times our beloved prophetess didn’t “mince” words when it came to straight testimony.

They are also keenly aware that EGW spoke of “somebody is to come in the spirit and power of Elijah…”(Testimonies to Ministers, page 475). When’s the last time you heard an SDA leader speak about this “somebody”? Even offer conjecture on the subject? The Davidians sure do. In fact much of this “somebody’s” words are believed by them to be God’s last message to His people. Apparently God believes in this “somebody” too ( see Mal 3:1). So we see an important emphasis is put on this “somebody” coming before our Lord comes. This “messenger” has a message from God. Are we listening? Are we studying it? Did God send a last day message from His messenger because it was useless and not needed? These are serious questions that we as truth seekers need to answer.

Continuing on with the DSDA view, the last day “Elijah” message is now the important message going out. Contrary to the SDA, they believe that God’s last prophet (Victor T. Houteff) has the most important message for us today and must be heeded. They are not going into babylon but to our own people. They are warning, “blowing the trumpet”, sounding the alarm. Sadly though, God’s words through EGW are coming true.

In speaking of this last day message EGW says (Early Writings, P.270) “The solemn testimony upon which the destiny of the church hangs has been lightly esteemed, if not entirely disregarded.”  Can we confidently say that our dear brothers and sisters through out the  SDA have rejected the “Elijah”message sent by God’s last prophet-Victor T. Houteff? There can be no doubt.

The SDA view allows  for co-mingling (Wheat and Tares)which the DSDA cannot believe will exist when our Lord begins the judgement for the living. EGW states ” The time of judgement is a most solemn period, when the Lord gathers His own from among the tares. Those who have been members of the same family are separated. A mark is placed upon the righteous.” (Test. to Ministers, p.234) Notice she doesn’t say the righteous are whisked away into heaven. She means within the church while it’s here on earth (Ezek. 9).

So we see that this message is the focus now by the DSDA. And that message is the above referenced EGW quote (Test. to Minister, p.445) That the Ezekiel sealings/slayings will very soon take place within our churches. This is solemn, it’s serious, but it will happen.What can we do? Sit back and deny it? God is not mocked or played with, His word will stand and come to pass.

Sadly again EGW describes the outcome when the DSDA do the warnings from God. ” Many who hear the message– by far the greatest number, will not credit the solemn warning…Ministers will warn the people not to listen to them.” (Test. to Minsters p.233)

Next, the DSDA view is that after this warning message is done and the fateful last 144,000th one is marked, the church will be “purified” per the Ezekiel prophecy. The “great and dreadful day” has come. Contrary to the SDA, the DSDA believe this referenced day is not the day the Lord comes in the clouds. The book of Malachi is a great read for this understanding.

After this event has come, the 144,000 are now empowered with God’s power to go forth into babylon, to be very effective in calling out many who accept God’s powerful message. Healings, miracles, wonders are all  done in plain view in a most astounding way. People are “bowled over” by their power. It will be a trying time for God’s servants as well. Satan will arouse the people to counter them. In fact counter miracles will be used. So the people will be confused(2 Thes. 2:9). The Sunday worshipers and their miracle workers, or the Sabbath keepers and their miracles. Which are really from God? Unless you are grounded in the truth of His word, deception will be most powerful against you.

The 144,000 successfully call out a “great multitude” from the world and bring them into God’s “pure” church. So much so, that God will finally have His prophesied “Kingdom” on earth, in the midst of the heathen ( this subject is quite vast and will be taken up in a future post). It will not be a government kingdom but His  “Church Kingdom”.

After the great multitude are brought in and the final number that make up His Kingdom is made up, its curtians for the rest of the world. Plaques hit and the rest of the world melts down. The Lord comes as His people are threatened, in a final attempt to eliminate God’s people because they are deluded into thinking(by Satan) that they were the cause of the plaques. The 1000 year reign in heaven now becomes a reality for God’s people.

To summarize, let’s review.

The SDA are ignoring two important prophecies. 1) that the sealing of  ( Rev.7:3-4) is the same as Ezekiel’s vision. 2) No importance is given to the fact that somebody is to come before the Lord’s great and dreadful coming. That person’s message is a non-issue. Let’s call it the “great by-pass”.

The DSDA conversely adhere to 1) EGW’s (Test. to Ministers statement, p.445) and put it squarely into the final event scenario. This alone changes so much of the course of events. 2) That God will have a church purified, beginning with the remnant, the 144,000. 3) They go out and help complete God’s church Kingdom until that last one is brought in.

The Spirit of Truth is promised to us. Speaking of the Holy Spirit, our Lord says “But when he,the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth “(John 16:13).So we see that our Holy Spirit will guide us. Which of the two group’s views has the Holy Spirit guided you to believe? Which view has thoroughly stood upon His word as come by the prophets?

You decide which. Your answer can affect your standing in the great and dreadful day of our Lord. Let the Lord not come as a thief in the night, be ready and be prepared. We must study to show ourselves approved. Let’s  look seriously into God’s last message to us. Then we will have a most clear understanding of the—final events.

In Christ, forever His servant, Rob
