"But how do men fall into such error? By starting with false premises,
and then bringing everything to bear to prove the error true." TM 364.01
This little booklet will provide detailed documentation to establish the below fact:
"A lie, believed, practiced, becomes a truth to them." TM 363.04-364
_______________________________________________
I attended a Seventh-day Adventist Historical gathering on 3/17/02 for Sabbath, Sabbath School, Church, and an afternoon service. A special speaker John Nicolici and his wife came up from Sacramento to give the day's program. Now 35 to 40 people were in attendance at this Southern Oregon meeting. Now the message that we heard, supposedly in the afternoon it was going to be on the Loud Cry Message, but it kind of got diverted before he arrived to that subject. But, I want to say this about their SDA message; it hasn't dimmed one iota from the same truths they presented during the Silver Lake meetings in the 1980s. The delivery system between this man and his wife is as powerful as any Historical gathering or even in the mainline church, their delivery system is as powerful & effective as you are going to find anywhere.
But why is it, that such few people attend these gatherings? Now stay with me to the end of this tape and you will have your answer. Now to begin, I had rather talk about a solution for Historical Adventism than the problem they are facing today, but I'll try and be brief and cover both. Now the Label on this tape, I'm not sure, as to the label to place on this tape, one such title would be, "Historic Adventists Are Encouraged To Run --But They Cannot Hide." The Historical Adventism as a fragmented/scattered group are chained, they absolutely have some chain-ankles on them. And the Mother Church is the one that puts those clasps on them and then hammered them shut. Now some of these leg-irons are attached more securely on some ministries than they are on others. Like the ones that have gone off to "Higher Education" like the Standish Brothers, now the leg-irons on them is a big heavy chain, hard to break. Then there are others that haven't gone off to the seminary, their leg irons may be just a cotton rope, and that thing can be cut in a hurry if present truth is not rejected. But the Historic gatherings will need to have a message [they do not now possess one] if they expect to have a part in giving the Loud Cry. But sad to say again, the Historical Seventh-day Adventist movement does not have a message! And I'm going to tell you why.
I'm going to read one statement here, and I'm not isolating any one particular ministry, as I could grab any book from the Historical Movement as they all say the same thing, verbatim! I could grab a John Osborne book years ago when he wrote on Revelation. I could grab Jan Marcussen's book, I could grab any of their books, or tapes, The Standish's, Vance Ferrell, it makes no difference. It just so happened that I grabbed Danny Vierra's book, because he copied word for word what Jan Marcussen has in print, Jan Marcussen has copied what somebody else has published etc. & etc. It all went back to what Haskell said, it all goes back to Uriah Smith's book, it is as though they are completely satisfied in leaning on one mans mind.
But the Historic SDA people are absolutely
chained to this one statement right here, on page 23, of Danny Vierra's book,
Is the Virgin Mary Dead or Alive. "As matter of fact the 1260 prophecy is
mentioned seven times in Revelation and Daniel. There are not as some have
supposed several 1260 day periods, there is only one. It is mentioned seven
times because it is so very important. In
Well anyway, it makes no difference which Historic gathering I read that from, because they all copied from one another, every single one of them. There is no truth whatsoever in linking all of these seven places in the Bible where the 1260 are found, to the years 538 to 1798.
Those people living back then were just prisoners of time, but not so with our generation. Historic Adventism you are not in the class to be labeled prisoners of time. You have arrived! Awake up! So if you are one of those that have chains around your ankles, and if you have gone off to the seminary, or you spent 25 years as Editor of the Review and Herald, your chains are a little heavier than the people who haven't gone to the seminary.
Somebody like Doug Bachelor, now he is still in the system; he is probably one of the biggest revenue gatherers that the church has. They don't like what he says, but he brings in the dollars, and that is all Laodicea understands, is dollars, dollars and cents.
Now the leg irons on him and the people who haven't gone to the world for their education, these chains are not quite as secure as the Standish's, or like someone that was trained to be the General Conference President for the Reformed Seventh-day Adventist Church. Now these erroneous ideas that were put in people's head years ago, many truly believe it to be true because they have believed it so long. And when anyone believes a lie long enough, it can become a truth to us. Now there is a SOP statement saying exactly that truth. In Testimonies to Ministers, about 363-364, it says. "A lie, believed, practiced, becomes a truth to them."
Now as you read this statement that I just
read it to you from Danny Vierra's book, where he stated that all seven places
in the Bible that the 1260 days are mentioned, they all apply to the same time,
538 to the year 1798. That is total deception, because all seven of them do not
apply to the same time period. On close examination of
Now I know probably a red flag went up there
when I mentioned
Isn't it amazing that you never hear one word from the Historic gathering on certain subjects?
Why is it that they never say anything about the 7 Trumpets? They refuse to say anything about the Seven Seals; they refuse to say anything about the controversy between the great multitude and the 144,000. If they do get on the fringes of these important subjects, they always have to go back to what their Mother Church has taught them. They cannot be specific about anything; you cannot nail anybody down, everything just kind of floats with them. Now the main structure church, they are bold about the error they promote, I mean you can hear these evangelist, they will come right out and talk on the 7 Trumpets & 7 Seals with energy as they were trained to preach them straight from U. Smith & Co.
Now John Grosboll, he published an article
say about
These thoughts that Grosboll & Waggoner was
clinging to, were not theirs either, they belonged to men like Keith & Gibbon,
people of the world. And I have heard Bob Trefz speak on
"I conclude that there is not one second advent believer who will take the ground that all the prophecy of Joel quoted by Peter was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost. For there is not the least evidence that any part of it was then fulfilled, only that part which related to pouring out of the Holy Ghost. That is the only part, we cannot believe that the signs in the Sun and Moon and so forth, were seen on that day or that there were any having visions or dreaming among them at that exciting hour, for there is no proof of any such thing. A part of this prophecy was fulfilled on the day of Pentecost, and all of it is to be fulfilled 'IN THE LAST DAYS SAYETH GOD'."
Now
Now listen to what Ellen White says right here in Special Testimonies to Ministers, No. 7, page 53. "How little is the book of Revelation studied, it is a hidden mystery to the religious world." Now as I was setting in church yesterday for a number of hours, I didn't hear one quote out of the book of Revelation. And when Ellen White plainly tells us, she says, and now this is from memory I don't have my books here, but I had rather close my eyes and try to remember it anyway. It is in Testimonies Volume 8, page 302.01, it says: "The solemn messages that have been given in their order in the Revelation are to occupy the first place in the minds of God's people. Nothing else should engross our attention."
Now the book of Revelation is nowhere near as
complicated as Revelation Seminars teachers make them out to be. I could take
you through Revelation in a hurry, and these messages are given in their order.
I don't want to get sidetracked here, I cannot do that; I would love to start
right there at the seven different church conditions [not periods of time] in
Rev.
But I got to get back to the quote I was reading, sorry to get sidetracked. This is Ellen White's Special Testimonies to Ministers, "How little is the book of Revelation studied, it is a hidden mystery to the religious world and why? Because the events not pleasant for consideration are so faithfully traced by the prophetic pen. And the people who are in any way troubled about the matter, are soothed by their shepherds with the statement that the Revelation cannot be understood. But it is to be understood for it especially concerns us who are living in these last days, read the last chapter of Daniel carefully... Study Revelation in connection with Daniel, for history will be repeated." [SpTA07 53 & 55.01]
In Great Controversy page around pages 598-599, she says that we should not guess at anything. There is a chart and we are not to guess at it!
"It is not enough to have good intentions; it is not enough to do what a man thinks is right or what the minister tells him is right. His soul's salvation is at stake, and he should search the Scriptures for himself. However strong may be his convictions, however confident he may be that the minister knows what is truth, this is not his foundation. He has a chart pointing out every waymark on the heavenward-journey, and he ought not to guess at anything."
About 40 different quotes come to my mind to say right now, but let me get back to what I'm reading here. This is from Ellen White in a little book called Rolling Back the Reproach. "The prophecies of Daniel and John are to be understood." Now that means that you are not to guess at it. It is to be understood. "They interpret each other. They give to the world truths, which everyone should understand. These prophecies are to be a witness to the world, by their fulfillment in these last days they will explain themselves."
They do explain themselves; why if I was to
open my Bible here and take you through
The whole book of Daniel was not sealed up,
now I could go to 7A probably about page 971, she says that the portion that was
sealed, is the portion in Daniel "in relation to time", this is
I believe the reason last day people don't
understand
Now the only reason that time was even
considered in
Look in Testimony to Ministers, page
114-115, "Twice Daniel inquired, How long shall it be to the end of time?" He
didn't ask how long it would be to the time of the end, he wasn't talking about
them puny years back there in 1798. He wanted to know when the special
resurrection would occur and WHEN his people would be delivered. Jesus tells
him, it is going to be a time, times, and a part, look in the margin. So Danny
Vierra in his book, page 23, Vance Ferrell and all his publications, Jan
Marcussen and his publications, John Grosboll and all of his printed deception,
to apply
Now after Daniel heard Jesus tell him, that
it is going to be for a time, times and a part, Daniel says to him Oh my Lord,
I've heard, but I don't understand, and Jesus comes right back and tells him
again. He tells him exactly, now before he didn't give him a starting point, and
Jesus is going to give him an answer in relation to what he asked. How very
plain! But let me back away from
Let me read the Bible in
I'd love to talk to you about the seven
thunders, but I'm not going to do it just now, they are plain as the nose on
your face. I may just touch on one of them right here, no I'm not going to do it
just yet. Now, who is the mighty angel that stands there? It is the same "angel"
[messenger/Jesus] in
I'll grab 7A, right here on page 971.03, it
says these words. "The mighty angel who instructed John was no less a personage
than Jesus Christ. Setting his right foot on the sea and his left foot upon the
dry land, shows the part which he is acting in the closing scenes of the great
controversy with Satan." Doesn't that just warm your heart to know that it is
the "closing scenes", not the Millerite movement? If some of these words in
Dear Adventist friend, don't you know that the First, Second and Third Angels Message is to be repeated? [RH 10/31/99] Now I haven't got time to go through the first, second and third angels messages, but if the first, second and third angels message are to be repeated, what was the first angels message that was given prior to 1843 and 1844? The second angels message - what was that? Come out of her my people. Now that message is going to go again, the first angel message will go again. And what was the main element in the first angel's message?
William Miller and all the other 200 or so preachers throughout Europe, they had a judgment hour message, they had an hour attached, October 22, 1844. You better get ready, there is a judgment hour attached to it. If the first angels message is to be repeated, there has to be a judgment hour mentioning. And I'm not talking about any time setting, don't go off and grab your wet blankets yet. You'll have plenty of time to run down that Rogue River with Pastor Lawrence Nelson and get them wool blankets from the army surplus sopping wet, and try to throw over everything I've said. But your effort to suppress will be of non-effect when it is time for this message from heaven to be scattered. Examine my teachings and all my audio tapes carefully, because I'll never mention to you even once about any time setting. I don't believe in it, it's not right for anyone to try and figure out "definite time" as a test for the Lord to return. But someday soon it will be a requirement for God's people to say something about time, so don't be scared off by these seminary trained surface readers from you revealing Bible truths you obtained by being on your knees asking for guidance.
Most Adventist as a group don't even realize
that Jesus is not going to deliver one Seventh-day Adventist, not one that has
ever used the name Seventh-day Adventist is Jesus going to deliver. Are you
listening to me Seventh-day Adventist out there? Listen up! In 1846, April the
6th, Ellen White, her name was Ellen Harmon then, plainly told us that it is "a
number of days" between the voice of God, which delivers every faithful
Seventh-day Adventist until the Lord Jesus is seen in the sky to raise the
righteous dead from day one to the year of 1844. God the Father will raise those
who died in the faith this side of 1844. The 144,000 will know EXACTLY the very
"day and the hour" when they hear what the Father tells them. Then they in turn
will tell the risen saints that this "number of days" is 45 days for them to be
on the earth in a glorified body. When you understand
OK now, get your sledgehammer right quick and
grab this tape and to hit it. Some people will be inclined to do that, but hold
on, anybody that has any common sense, just hold on a little bit. This quote
from Inspiration, to anyone who will listen: "The mighty angel who instructed
John was no less a personage than Jesus Christ. Setting His right foot on the
sea, and His left upon the dry land, shows the part which He is acting in the
closing scenes of the great controversy with Satan. This position denotes His
supreme power and authority over the whole earth. The controversy has waxed
stronger and more determined from age to age, and will continue to do so, to the
concluding scenes when the masterly working of the powers of darkness shall
reach their height. Satan, united with evil men, will deceive the whole world
and the churches who receive not the love of the truth. But the mighty angel
demands attention. He cries with a loud voice. He is to show the power and
authority of His voice to those who have united with Satan to oppose the truth."
He cries with "a loud voice". How much plainer does it need to be for Historic
Seventh-day Adventists? "a loud voice" Why that is
Now did I confuse anybody back there, have
you had time to let this jell a little bit in your mind, about what I said about
Jesus not delivering one Seventh-day Adventist? That is exactly the truth, when
God the Father speaks from His Throne in heaven, and He says, "It is done." He
utters these words at the beginning of the Seventh Trumpet, the Seventh Plague;
we could go in
God the Father's words will come on His schedule alone, rolling down through the open space in Orion, to knock down every building and every wall that man has ever constructed. The mighty earthquake occurs at that time; read about it in Great Controversy, she spells it out, seaports are being swallowed up, islands are disappearing, mountain chains are being thrown up by their roots and caste into the sea. God the Father says, "It is done." And at that point in time everybody who died in the faith as a Seventh-day Adventist, since 1844 will come to life. I don't think they adopted the name SDA until 1863, so there will be some people there awakening that never heard the name "Seventh-Day Adventist. But anybody that has ever used this name Seventh-day Adventist, they will not be delivered by Jesus second coming. So get that thing out of your craw, that's been placed there by the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist surface readers. Because you will not be delivered by Jesus second coming, you are going to be delivered by the Voice of God and you will have a glorified body for 45 days, before Jesus even gets on the cloud to leave heaven. Now will we know when Jesus comes? We certainly will. We will know the exact day and hour when He will appear, why will we know? Because God the Father has told us, He announces the day and hour; that will be one of the 7 Thunders.
What is the first thunder? The first thunder is "It is done" as the words come rolling through the earth like peals of loudest thunder. God the Father pauses between sentences, then another thunder from His lips comes rolling through the earth. One of the thunders He will deliver the everlasting covenant with His people. Another thunder will be when He announces the day and hour that Jesus will return. So for surface reading SDA preachers, will they now label the Father a "time setter" and say He is Someone that is keeping secrets in heaven from his Son, His angels and His people on earth? No, God revealeth these things to His servants, but only the ones that will walk in the light as He provides it.
"It is impossible to give any idea of the experience of the people of God who will be alive on the earth when past woes and celestial glory will be blended. They will walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God. By the means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth." [Unpublished Manuscripts, Volume 2, p. 157.03]; [p. 569.06, 1904 MS].
Now much additional information is in Early Writings & the 1858 Great Controversy; just blow the dust off that book, read it, follow it.
Next we will go through
Remember that the Ellen White quote mentioned
earlier to not "guess at anything", and now to Testimony to Ministers,
page 337.01, "How dare they advance ideas when they do not know certainly whence
they came, or that they are the truth?" Now that applies to me - I don't dare
advance any ideas unless I know where it came from. If I don't know what I'm
talking about, I keep my mouth shut. But I'm going to go through
"And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, 'Rise and measure the Temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein."
Now doesn't the Investigative Judgment begin first with the house of God? And then those standing at the altar are the ministers, aren't they to be judged next? Then comes the "worshipers therein", why you have to be alive to be worshiping. Now remember the judgment begins with the dead people in 1844. And the top of the page Great Controversy 483.01, it says, "As the books of record are opened in the judgment, the lives of all those who profess faith in Jesus come in review."
If you have never professed belief in God,
your name is not even considered during this Investigative Judgment, you have to
wait for anther 1000 years for your name to come up to be judged. Jesus will
conduct that judgment with the risen saints in heaven. But if you have professed
the name of Christ, then your name is in process right now, because Jesus is
going to come and bring His "reward with him" according to this method. "Every
name is mentioned, every case closely investigated. Names are accepted, names
rejected. When any have sins remaining upon the books of record, unrepented of
and unforgiven, their names will be blotted out of the book of life, and the
record of their good deeds will be erased from the book of God's remembrance.
The Lord declared to Moses: "Whosoever hath sinned against Me, him will I blot
out of My book."
The reason why is there so many angels around
the throne there in
But Adventism still hasn't discovered that
the Seven Seals is the Investigative Judgment. No wonder Ford has run havoc
through the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The Adventist correctly teaches of the
investigative judgment, but they can't even find where it is in Revelation. That
is one of the plainest subjects found in
The supreme nonsense that is taught on the 7 Seals in the Revelation Seminars is just a rabbit trail safari. Get out and away from that mindset, where there is stubble & fungus.
But back to
And then finally in Volume 7, page 219.02, are these words that tell that the Judgment of the Living had just begun. "The time has come when everything is to be shaken that can be shaken, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Every case is coming in review before God; He is measuring the temple and the worshipers therein." 7T 219.02
The Judgment of the living is a process
rather than an event with great fanfare. See it was the Brinsmead brothers and
the foolishness that they taught on this subject that diverted many Adventists
from advancing with serious Bible study. Now it was Ford sitting at Brinsmead
feet, and he picked up all the nonsense that they dreamed up, and now he has run
through Adventism with their speculation. Coming from that brand of mindset are
the ones that drew a line in the sand, and said that the judgment of the living
was off in the future and when it arrived a lot of fanfare would be attached.
The Ark of the Covenant would be found and all this nonsense that the Ron Wyatt
crowd are in a stupor over. Go to my Website and listen to that audiotape I made
years ago on the Ark of the Covenant, www. ed-white.us. Remember it was Jesus
that told Daniel in Chapter 12:10 "None of the wicked will understand, but the
wise will understand." After he told that to Daniel, then He tells him again the
second time the answer to the question that Daniel asked twice. "How long shall
it be to the end of time? TM 114-115. In
"The time has come when Jerusalem is being searched as with lighted candles. God is at work investigating character, weighing moral worth, and pronouncing decisions on individual cases. It may not be too late for those who have sinned to be zealous and repent." TM 448. See also 7A 96.
But what will the Historic Adventists out there tell you about the Judgment of The Living? They have drawn a line in the sand, placing the judgment of the living off in the future just the same as their Mother Church. They don't really come out and say anything concrete; they rather just kind of hint around about it. But I can pick up on these things that they are soft peddling, they are afraid to say anything. They don't have a message, they are playing fake it till you make it, with their memory work that was handed down to them by their Mother Church. And the Mother Church is just sitting back grinning from ear to ear saying "its time to come home children". Grab a pew, your neglected tithe envelope and never say another word until we tell you when and what to utter. "Thus "Peace and safety" is the cry from men who will never again lift up their voice like a trumpet to show God's people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins." 5T 211.02
Verse 2 of
Well there you have it,
What was it that Danny Vierra said? All these
7 dates "are all the same" [538 to 1798]; but I'm here to tell you that this is
shallow reasoning, plain and simple. "The church will yet see troublous times,
it will prophecy in sackcloth" and that is what she says here, "And I will give
power unto my two witnesses and they shall prophecy a thousand two hundred and
threescore days, clothed in sackcloth." Well now who are the two witnesses? One
application was the Old and New Testament, absolutely! But for a latter day
application, who does the Bible say the witnesses are? It is God's people. Let
me think here,
Verse 4-5. "These are the two olive trees,
and the two candlesticks, standing before the God of the earth. And if any man
will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies;
and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed." God is going
to protect many of his people during the Loud Cry period, but many other people,
many faithful people are going to die. As soon as the image to the beast is set
up in place, when the law is on the record books of our nation, many of God's
people are going to die.
Okay now, listen here!! Verse 6. "These" [now who are the 'these"?] It is his witnesses; the ones that Ellen White just told us about would prophecy in sackcloth. Knowing it is fairly easy to witness today, it will be hard as soon as the image of the beast is set up during the 1260-day period in the future. I will be accused here of setting time again, but just hold on. You know what you find out after you know it all, that's the kind of knowledge that is really worth knowing! You people that print these pretty slick magazines out there on the Kansas prairie have scattered more gray paint than the U.S. Navy has done. I'm telling it to you in black and white. "These [His witnesses, His faithful people] have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will." Rev. 11:6
Well now, why in the world do you think that the people with the law on their side hate our guts? They think that we are the ones that have caused the plagues on them, why do they think that? They have seen the power that God's people have preformed before their eyes. They have seen God’s Witnesses enter into sick rooms and people get up and walk away healed, without the drug medication. I wouldn't dare get on that subject of "acute medical care", and the foolishness that is taught in Adventist circles while suppressing the true health message. The prophet says, "drugs never cure". Don't walk away from that witchcraft practice, RUN!
As we read Verse 7, we can see that this verse tells us the Loud Cry has been given, [past tense] The "witnesses have finished their testimony", they have given the Loud Cry, it has been done! They have done what God said; they went to every nook and cranny in the world. They have been picked up and transported like Philip was in the desert to be taken to just one person to give a message. They spoke in one language and it was understood by all the different dialects. God will do that when he takes the reins into his own hands, "without any human planning' TM 300. He is going to finish the work with people who appreciate it. These 1000 days of reaping, you can take it to it the trash heap, God is going to do it with His people that He can cooperate with, not those people that are bracing themselves against heavens message.
During the loud cry period these spurious ministers will come in and say, why shouldn't we know what is truth, we have been in the work all these years. They will brace themselves against it. There is a SOP quote for that almost word for word.
But I need to hurry along to get down to verse 14 where it gets even more exciting. Verse 7, "And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them." Now isn't that sort of an obscure statement to say that Gods witnesses are killed? We have some symbolism here, hold on now, there is something unusual about their death isn't there?
Hold on now! [Verse 8] "And their dead bodies
shall lie in the streets of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom
and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified." Ok now let me check my memory
bank here, let me give you a few quotes here. These people are not dead, this is
the 144,000 and they do not die. But the Bible says there were killed, hold on.
Great Controversy 628, "By condemning the people of God to death, they
have as truly incurred the guilt of their blood as if it had been shed." Now
does that agree with the Bible? What about
In
Now to get the correct timing to prove that this is during the 6th plague [Armageddon] please look in verse 2, of chapter 39, it says while He is talking to the wicked. "I've got a hook in your jaw", look in the margin for this truth; don't use John Grosboll's New King James Version. Grab a real Bible, grab the King James, for it says: "or strike thee with six plagues", this hook has six teeth, six plagues, it is during the sixth plague that this occurs that God stops them in their tracks.
Anyway, you come over to
Next is verse 9, "And they of the people and kindred's and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies ..." So all the wicked, they know they have those that disturbed their lifestyle in their grasp, thinking it will be like shooting fish in a barrel. But they can't do the killing until the law goes into effect, and you know what Early Writings says, that some of them come out ahead of time and their swords became straws, and so forth. But just like Mordecai and Queen Esther, not one person perished. Verse 10, and they "rejoiced over them, and make merry, and sent gifts to one another". Oh are they ever mocking them, if you are one of those locked up in jail, they say to those, we are going to kill you tomorrow night at midnight, you just wait, we are going to kill you, why don't you call upon your God to save you if you are so holy. Early Writings says words to this effect, why don't you just float on off to heaven you are such a holy person there behind those bars. We got you in our grasp, and you are going to die tomorrow night at midnight. But what does the next page in Early Writings say? "It was at midnight that God chose to deliver His people." God's never in a hurry, but he is always on time.
Verse 11. "And after three days and a half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them with saw them." Absolutely they stand upon their feet, why? Because they heard Gods Voice and now have a glorified body! They don't just have a shining face like Moses did when he came down from the mount; they had to put a veil over his face in order to converse with him. The 144,000, their whole body is glorified, and they stand on their feet, and what does the bible says next? "And great fear fell upon them that saw them." Absolutely!
All the fight is taken right out of the wicked when their knees become jelly. They don't feel like killing anybody after that, God the Father has spoken, the mountains are flying over their heads and being dropped into the sea. He has knocked down every building and every wall that man has ever constructed, and His Thundering voice announces the day and hour that Jesus comes.
Next verse 12. "And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, 'Come up hither." Well isn't that amazing, isn't that what God told us of His activities during this time?
You need to read all the verses around Heb.12:26 where He told us about speaking from heaven -going to speak "once more".
Verse 13. "And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven."
Verse 14. "The second woe is past; and behold, the third woe cometh quickly." The second woe is the sixth plague; this is the timing of Jacob's Trouble, it is now all over with, the third woe cometh quickly, that is the Seventh Trumpet. What did Uriah Smith teach every Seventh-day Adventist? Every minister that has attended SDA seminaries, he told them and your minister sons plainly, that the third woe commenced in 1844.. Ellen White never did get caught up in that fiasco that Haskell, her husband and scores of other people got caught up in applying the trumpets to the past. She applied the trumpets all to the future just the way the Bible has recorded them. Her words of inspiration are like this "trumpet after trumpet is yet to sound, vial after vial is yet to be poured out". She spells it out in the same breath; she puts the trumpets and the plagues together in their rightful place before mans intrusion and meddling. Read Maranatha page 284-287, about her description of the seventh plague.
Read the letter from over in Australia in 1895, it is just plain as can be when hail began to come down as big as hen eggs. In the same breath Ellen White put the trumpets and plagues together, just where inspiration has preserved them.
Verse 15. "And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven, saying, 'The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our LORD and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever."
Seventh-day Adventists have been taught that this occurred in 1844. [See Uriah Smith's The Prophecies of Daniel & The Revelation, 538]
Ellen White says in Fundamentals of Christian Education, page 355.01. She says, "the kingdoms of this world have not yet become the kingdoms of our Lord, do not deceive yourselves".
I'm not deceived in this area; I'm trying to tell the Historic Adventist not to be either. Go out there and get a message from God’s Word, have something to say that's concrete, instead of the pabulum that you are giving everybody.
After
Seventh-day Adventist pastors’ teaching is that the "him" that Jesus raises His hands to scatter His Holy people is the papacy, that is what Marian Berry teaches in her books. This is the identical same thing as Uriah Smith. That is the only message Doug Bachelor is allowed to preach, because that is what he was taught, and so forth and so forth.
The "He" is the Father, that Jesus raises his hands to, and then when it says, "he shall accomplish to scatter the power of the holy people", "when he shall accomplish to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished". The "He" is the Father, He is the one who does the scattering. For anybody to apply the word "he" to the Papacy, to me that is treason, and an insult to heaven. When Jesus raises his hand to His Father, with how much more certainty could you ask for??? The Life Giver, speaking to His Father in our behalf, and you surface readers apply that to the Papacy, that is supreme nonsense to a serious Bible believer.
Back to
A Word to the Little Flock tells you who these people are that are worshiping at the saints feet, she says it is "professed Seventh-day Adventist that have fallen away, and crucified to them selves the Son of God a fresh". A Word to the Little Flock, page 12. How much plainer do you want it?
Oh, I'd just love to talk to you about the
great multitude in
Verse 17-18, "Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, [these are people talking] Which art, and wast, and art to come: because Thou hast taken to Thee Thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, [and he is reiterating the things that took place on this earth] and Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead that they should be judged,.."
You better believe it is time for them to be judged, it is the Executive part of the judgment, "every man’s sword is against his brother". They will then start killing one another, you see the hail hasn't arrived yet of 86# per drop. What structure that wasn't knocked down by God's Thundering Voice, the hail during the seventh plague is going to finish it off and lay flat with the ground. But remember there is a group of people that "will desire to die, but death shall flee from them". Rev. 9:6. Would this be someone who knew truth and failed to walk in it? I think so.
Oh, just look at these beautiful words here in verse 18. "The time of the dead that they should be judged [and so forth], and give reward unto thy servants the prophets and the saints, and them that fear his name, small and great and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." It is absolutely necessary for God to put a stop to those with power to destroy the earth. Because just as soon as man’s probation closes, different nations of the world will launch atomic weapons on one another. Because every nation is going to start firing weapons of mass destruction, that's all the plagues are, God doesn't pour the plagues out of the sky on the people, he is going to let men do it to themselves. I could go through each one of these trumpets and plagues and show to you that each plague is a natural occurring thing, God doesn't pour out the plagues on us from the sky.
Let me give you two or three quotes off the top of my head, check me out here. Last Day Events, page 242.01, "I was shown that the judgments of God would not come directly out from the Lord upon them, but in this way..." and so forth.
The first plague of the "great and grievous sore" is nothing other than the radiation burns from these weapons of mass destruction. Each one of the following plagues, man is causing it all! Absolutely!
Now what is going to happen next, verse 19? "And the Temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His Temple the ark of His testament..."
Isn't that amazing, isn't that when you look up in the sky and see those 10 rules of conduct?
Look in The Great Controversy and read those pages there, when those two tables up in the sky open up and in the fire traces with pen word for word of the Ten Commandments. Absolutely. And the temple of God was open in heaven, "and there was seen in heaven the ark of His testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail."
You know the 86# per drop kind of hail, absolutely, you know when this occurs, it is during the7th Trumpet/Plague.
Speaking of the Ark of his Testament there in verse 19, it show us plainly when it will be brought forth, not on the schedule of the Ron Wyatt disciples. This man claimed to have found the Ark, that was 15-20 years ago, why didn't he produce it after such a length of time? There is a reason this Ark that was hidden in a cave will never be found; it is not on this earth any more! The Ark was taken to heaven, page 32 & 33 of Early Writings, says exactly where it is. She says that the Ark is now in heaven, with the pot of manna and the Aaron's rod that budded. If I tell you that the car is now in front of the house; that means at one time it wasn't there. It means it was either in the garage or in the driveway. But the car it is now in front of the house. Ellen White says that the Ark, she saw it, the veil was lifted, she went into the Most Holy Place, she saw the Ark, she saw Aaron's rod that had budded, she saw the pot of manna, she saw the tables of stone, and then on the next page, Early Writings 33, she says it is now in heaven.
I'm sure that scoffers are eager to say, "that is not the earthly, that is the heavenly Ark". Ok scoffer, tell me, was there a heavenly pot of Manna & Aaron’s rod? Of course not! Look in Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, page 109, she plainly tells you that the Angels in heaven, "they marveled that there was even such a law written down". The Law is a transcript of God's character. And God doesn't keep His angels in the dark with them not knowing that such a law was "written down", and angels are not in a stupor. Do you want more of the Ron Wyatt nonsense? For anybody to believe that those wagon wheels from those chariots lost in the Red Sea could still be visible to the naked eye and see the round circles and spokes in the wheels after 3500 years is absurd. I believe that you could take the Titanic out there, and drop it off in the Red Sea and after 3500 years there wouldn't even be any rust remaining. And I thought chariot wheels was made out of wood, if they were all iron, how in the world could horses pull them? To my knowledge wood is supposed to float, oh boy, what nonsense people are standing in line to be fooled by a con artist.
In closing let me say again,
On my website there is a dress rehearsal manual that gives an account of minute detail, words of "confession" that will be uttered during the 5th through the 7th Plague. Please. Please, don't allow these words to be your words. www. ed-white.us. Also, a Study of the 144,000. Also, a Last day Event Chart.

"Those who allow prejudice to bar the mind against reception of truth cannot receive the divine enlightenment. Yet, when a view of Scripture is presented, many do not ask, Is it True,-in harmony with God's word? But, by whom is it advocated? And unless it comes through the very channel that pleases them, they do not accept it. So thoroughly satisfied are they with their own ideas, that they will not examine the Scripture evidence, with a desire to learn, but to refuse to be interested, merely because of their prejudices." TM 105-106.
