What to do and When To
do it at the
End-time
|
Dear
Reader, In these times of great instability and
uncertainty, God would relieve the burden of His people with instructions of
what to do and when to do it. That instruction is in His Holy Word for all
who will receive it. This document will inform you as to exactly when to sell
your property and invest in the final cause of God involving planet earth. Before reading this document, it would be
wise of you to pray about the following two statements by Ellen White, and
keep them full in mind as you read the remainder of the vision. I purposefully
repeat (MORE THAN ONCE) some aspects that I believe to be important for
reasons of emphasis. The light that Daniel received from God was given
especially for these last days. The visions he saw by the banks of the Ulai
and the Hiddekel, the great rivers of Shinar, are now in process of
fulfillment, and all the events foretold will soon [FUTURE] come to
pass. {TM 112.3, 113} Also, it would be well to study this link: https://omega77.tripod.com/daniel8.htm “The
Sabbath question will be the issue in the great conflict in which all the
world will act a part.]Rev. 13:4-8, 10 quoted.] This ENTIRE CHAPTER is
a revelation of what will surely take place (future) [Rev. 13:11, 15-17
quoted] E.G. White, (MS 88, 1897). SDA
Bible Commentary, Vol. 7a, p. 979. Col. 2. Now
read Revelation 13:1-5, where it says that there will be a 42 month (3 ½ year
period) AFTER the wound is healed. Obviously the wound is not fully
healed yet! This
is a crucial exercise for those who believe that Ellen White said there is no
more time prophesies. That is not what she said. She said that there will be
no more prophetic time (day for a year) prophesies, and she said that because
circa 1844 on for a number of years were resetting the time for the 2300
days. Her purpose was to put a stop to that practice. The
final period of earth’s history involves a seven year period of time. In the
Bible, a month equals 30 days. Seven years of day is 2, 520 days. The beast
will not be instated to reign until day 1290 after the Sunday law is first
legislated, Daniel 12:11. Then he reigns for 1260 days or 42 months,
Revelation 13:1-4, AFTER the wound in healed. This coincides with the prefigure of A.D. 66, when Cestius first arrived on
Jewish soil. It was not until 3 ½ years later that Jerusalem was destroyed.
Ellen White equates the Sunday Law to the landing of Cestius on Jewish soil, Testimonies, Vol. 5, 451, 464. Note:
There will be a 30 day warning period to take the mark. That 30 day period is
added to the first 1260 day timeframe to make 1290 days, at which time the
beast power (the abomination of desolation is placed, Daniel 12:11). That 30
day warning period is added to the two 1260 day periods to total 2, 250 days.
Subtracting 2300 days from the 2,250 days, gives us the day the transgression
of desolation by the SDA church begins—this is the time the SDA church
instructs its members to keep Sunday Sacred. The Transgression of Desolation
is thus different from the Abomination of Desolation. The
scenario at the end differs somewhat from what occurred in A.D. 66. How do we
know this for sure? Ellen White said that we do not flee to the mountains at
the Sunday law, which she equates to landing of Cestius on Jewish soil in
A.D. 66. She says that at the inception of the Sunday Law, we are to move
from the cities to the smaller towns preparatory to leaving for the
mountains. In A.D. 66, the Romans landed on Jewish soil and then retreated.
At that retreating, the faithful Jews fled to the mountains of Pella. In
the end-time scenario, there is a three and one-half year time-frame from the
inception of the Sunday Law until it is enforced. This coincides with the 3 ½
years which elapsed from the time Cestius first landed on Jewish soil in A.D.
66 to the time Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed in A.D. 70. The beast
of Revelation 13 does not rule during that first 3 ½ year time any more than
the Romans were ruling Jerusalem during the counterpart of that 3 ½ years
from A.D. 66-70. So that first 3 ½ year period is according to type. Then,
in Revelation 13, we are told that after the wound is fully healed, the beast
will rule for 1260 days, which is 3 ½ years. So these two 3 ½ year periods,
before and after the time the beast begins to reign, add to make seven years
total—plus 30 days of warning time from day 1260 after the Sunday Law has
been legislated to the time it is enforced on day 1290. So from the time that the daily (law) is
removed or taken away, the inception of the National Sunday law, until that
law is enforced, the setting up of the abomination of desolation (full
healing of the wound—Rev. 13) there will be 1290 days (Daniel 12:11). The
Daniel 8 2300 days of trodding underfoot of the
host, the professing SDA church, will begin 2300 literal days before the end
of the seven year period, or day 250 after the Sunday law. That is when the
SDA church will make the transgression of desolation by anticipating the
enforcement of the Sunday law on day 1290, by instructing its members to keep
Sunday sacred from day 250 after the National Sunday Law is first instituted. “In the autumn of A.D. 66, Cestius next
concentrated his entire force upon Jerusalem.
He arrived during the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles, and
although it was Sabbath, the Jews abandoned their religious rites and rushed
out to attack Cestius’ troops. To the
amazement of both Romans and Jews, they broke the Roman ranks. Indeed, Josephus declares that only a flank
attack by a force of footmen and cavalry saved Cestius’ forces. More than 500 Roman soldiers were killed
whereas the Jews lost only 22 men (War ii. 198, 2 [519]). At this point Agrippa sent an embassy to
the Jews; their reaction was to attack his representatives, killing one and
wounding the other. Encouraged by a
promise of the royalist party in Jerusalem to open the gates for him, Cestius
then gathered his troops to a fresh assault, and penetrated as far as the
north wall of the Temple. Then an
astounding thing happened: Cestius withdrew his troops, and placed himself strategically in such a poor position among the
Judean hills that the Jews were able to attack him and kill more than 5,000
infantry and nearly 500 cavalry, including many officers, as well as to
capture much materiel. A Lull in the
Storm.—The
defeat and withdrawal of Cestius gave many of the conservative Jews a chance
to flee from Jerusalem. Some of them
joined Agrippa, others sought quiet in country places, and still others left
the country entirely. It was at this
time that the Christians in Jerusalem fled in accordance with the warning of
Jesus recorded in Matt. 24:15-19.
According to Eusebius, the 4th-century historian, the
Christians in Jerusalem had been warned by prophets before the war began that
they should leave the doomed city and find refuge at Pella in Peraea. They now took this opportunity to make good
their escape (Ecclesiastical History iii. 5, 3).” SDA Bible Commentary, Vol.
5, 74, 75. The
1260, 1290 and 1335 Day Prophesies of Daniel 12 The
following account is what I have believe and taught since the mid-1980's, but
saw and had confirmed in a most singularly powerful vision occurring at
approximately 5 AM, March 7, 2001. The reason for these literal time periods
is to preserve the courage of the saints during the greatest time of trouble
ever known to man. Man fears the unknown, so it will obviously encourage the
Saints to know these timelines. Only the 144,000 will need to know the entire
schema of time because only they will endure the length of that time and be
translated without seeing death. The 144,000 will know they are part of the
144,000 after the passing of day 1335. The reasons for this knowledge will be
elaborated on further into this revelation. I
have been aware of the most sophisticated arguments against literal time for
decades, but they are the result of misinterpretation. I was shown an
explanation of the following statement by Ellen G. White: "The
first and second angels' messages were to be proclaimed, but no further light
was to be revealed before these messages had done their specific work. This
is represented by the angel standing with one foot on the sea, proclaiming
with a most solemn oath that time should be no longer. Prophetic
Time Versus Literal Time It would behoove us to very closely examine
the following statement by Mrs. Ellen White: “This time, which the angel declares
with a solemn oath, is not the end of this world's history, neither of
probationary time, but of prophetic
time, which should precede the advent of our Lord. That is, the people
will not have another message upon definite time. After this period of time,
reaching from 1842 to 1844, there can be no definite tracing of the prophetic time. The longest
reckoning reaches to the autumn of 1844.” {7BC 971.7} To
their own detriment, many SDA’s have failed to note
in the above statement that Ellen White twice says: “prophetic time.” There
is no more definite tracing of prophetic time, which is to be understood as
day for a year time. The longest reckoning of prophetic time (day for a year
time) did indeed reached to the autumn of 1844. That is proof that
Ellen White is speaking of prophetic (day for a year time) because that is
the type of time that reached to the autumn of 1844. Ellen White is not
speaking of literal time prophesies. Even
partial healing of the wound did not occur until 1929, when the Lateran Treaty
restored temporal power to the pope, who was given the rule of Ellen
White said all the messages to the seven churches apply to the end of time
and that the 10 days of Revelation 2:10, has another end-time application in
literal time days.[3] Destruction
of Ellen
White said that the time of the Jews extending from A.D. 27-70, was a
prefigure symbolizing the destruction of the world at the end-time, but that
the destruction begins at His Sanctuary, Ezekiel 9:6, “Jerusalem,” the
apostate SDA church. Ellen White said that Ezekiel 9 has another LITERAL
fulfillment and there can be no doubt that the history of the Jews from A.D.
27-70 was a fulfillment of Ezekiel 9 and 22:17-31.[6] “As
the approach of the Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending
destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy [The Sunday Law in context] be
a sign to us that the limit of God's forbearance is reached, that the measure
of our nation's iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to
take her flight, never to return. The people of God will then be plunged into
those scenes of affliction and distress which prophets have described as the
time of Jacob's trouble. The cries of the faithful, persecuted ones ascend to
heaven. And as the blood of Abel cried from the ground, there are voices also
crying to God from martyrs' graves, from the sepulchers of the sea, from
mountain caverns, from convent vaults: "How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them
that dwell on the earth?" {5T 451.2} “It
is no time now for God's people to be fixing their affections or laying up
their treasure in the world. The time is not far distant, when, like the
early disciples, we shall be forced to seek a refuge in desolate and solitary
places. As the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was the signal for
flight to the Judean Christians, so the assumption of power on the part of
our nation in the decree enforcing the papal sabbath will be a warning to us.
It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving the
smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains.
And now, instead of seeking expensive dwellings here, we should be preparing
to move to a better country, even a heavenly. Instead of spending our means
in self-gratification, we should be studying to economize.” Testimonies,
Vol. 5, p. 464-5. Clearly,
we do not flee to the mountains at the time of the National Sunday Law. At
first, there will be no enforcement of the law and no penalty for its
violation. If there was even a no buy and sell enforcement at the
commencement of the Sunday Law, we could not survive in small towns
preparatory to fleeing to the mountains. However,
as judgments multiply in the land, those judgments will be blamed on those
who do not keep Sunday sacred. The Sunday law will not be enforced until 1290
days after the initial law is legislated. At day 1260 after Sunday law
legislation, there will be a 30 day warning that penalties are forthcoming at
the end of 30 days. The penalties will be enforced at the end of that 30 day
warning period. Daniel 12:11 says that there are 1290 days from the removing
of the continual (God’s law and more specifically the Sabbath commandment).
That is when the mark will be enforced. That will be when the wound of the
beast power is fully healed, and from that time, the beast will rule for 42
months or 3 ½ years, Revelation 13:1-5. I will present the time-frames more
graphically at the end of this document. Why a Repetition of the 2300 Days of
Daniel 8 is Crucial I
accept the historic SDA position of the 2300 days of Daniel 8, as a very
partial and secondary application, but how can we say that prophecy of the
host and the Sanctuary being trodden down for 2300 days (Daniel 8:23) was
fully fulfilled in the historic version when the Pope was captured in 1798
and he was not trodding down anything from 1798 to
1844?[9]
And if you think that the abomination of desolation is in placed now, as some
erroneously do, you had better flee to the mountains as fast as you can per
Matthew 24:14, 15! I
accept the partial SDA historic application of the 2300 days, but I find that
it was not COMPLETE in its fulfillment. And I will tell you more by way of
its incomplete fulfillment. The Emperor Justinian, handed the power of the
state over to the Pope a number of
years (about four) before the Pope used those powers in trampling on
the host and the Sanctuary. So there were those years combined with the time
that elapsed between 1798, and fall of October 1844. That does not constitute
a full and accurate fulfillment of Daniel 8:13, 14. God is not that
inaccurate concerning PRIMARY fulfillment of His prophesies. The A.D. 66 Fleeing for 3 ½ Years In
A.D. 66, the Romans landed on Jewish soil but they did not attack at that
time. Cestius, the Roman General, withdrew his troops and returned to Rome.
This was the prophesied respite at which the Christian Jews were to flee to
the mountain of Pella. They fled Jerusalem in the spring of A.D. 66, 3 ½
years before the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. This 3 ½ year
time-frame was a PREFIGURE of a same time period at the end of time because
that even is recorded in Chapter 1 of The Great Controversy, and Ellen White
said that chapter was a prefigure of the destruction of the world at the
end-time, BEGINNING AT HIS SANCTUARY, 5T 211. Here is a brief overview of the
end-time scenario I was shown. It should be kept in mind that in Bible
reckoning, a month is 30 days. National
Sunday Law legislated. (No penalties at first until day 1290). This is the
taking away of the daily or the continuum—God’s law. Daniel 12:11 says that
from the time that the daily shall be taken away, and the abomination that
maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety
days. The abomination of desolation is healed Roman power to persecute. And
then there are 42 months rule of the beast AFTER THE WOUND IS HEALED at the
end of the 1290 days. That makes a total of 2, 550 days. So
we have two time lines, the 1290 and the 1260 of Rev. 13. The difference
between the two is the 30 days of warning at the mid-point, but we must add
that 30 days to the total number of days because the beast of Revelation
13:1-5, rules for 3 ½ years after the abomination of desolation is placed on
day 1290, Daniel 12:11. During
the first 1260 day period, God’s judgments begin to be poured out because of
the violation of His law. These judgments will increase in severity and will
be blamed on those who are not keeping Sunday Sacred. That is why it is
decided that the Sunday Law will be enforced on day 1290, after a 30 day
warning period extending from day 1260-1290. Ellen
White parallels the Sunday Law with the first ascendance of Roman soldiers on
Jewish soil in A.D. 66. It will then
be time to move to smaller towns preparatory to leaving later for the
mountains. 5T 464-5 (above). We
know that there will be 42 months (3 ½ years) after the wound heals, Rev.
13:1-5. There
is another “in house” SDA trodding down of the host
and the Sanctuary when its leaders instruct their people to keep Sunday. That
will go on till the end of probationary time when the Sanctuary will be
cleansed, and another literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9 will destroy the
apostate SDA New Movement Sanctuaries around the world. We are not predicting
definite time here or the time of the end of probation, because no one knows
how soon after the end of the 2300 days God will cleanse the Sanctuary. It will
be cleansed some time after the 2300 days. That is all that we know. The
seven last plagues will not fall until probation closes says Ellen White, so
when we see those plagues we will have some idea that probation has closed. We
can arrive at the time the SDA church will instruct its members to keep
Sunday as a day of worship. If we subtract 1290 from 2550, we arrive at day
250. So 250 days after the initial legislation of the Sunday law, SDA’s will
inaugurate their own transgression of desolation. In
Daniel 8:13, the “transgression of desolation” is a bit different from the
abomination of desolation, because the “transgression of desolation” is
perpetrated by God’s own “chosen” people, SDA leaders for 2300 days, whereas
the beast power of Revelation 13:1-5 rules for only 1260 days. This is a
distinct difference! This transgression of desolation troddens
down the host (the members) and the Sanctuary (in heaven) for 2300 days. That
aspect of Daniel 8 has never been fulfilled as yet! Rome could not play that
role for it was never God’s “Jerusalem” Sanctuary and host. Rome places the
abomination of desolation against the Sanctuary and the host, but when the
transgression is committed by the host itself, that
is the transgression of desolation. The
placing (setting up) of the abomination of desolation by an “outside” power
(Daniel 12:11) is different from God’s own “chosen” people doing the
transgressing and causing the desolation themselves. What?
The SDA church advocating Sunday sacredness?! Yes. Here it is from Ellen
White: "The Lord has a controversy with His
professed people in these last days. In this controversy men in responsible
positions will take a course directly opposite to that pursued by
Nehemiah. They will not only ignore and despise the Sabbath themselves,
but they will try to keep it from others by burying it beneath the rubbish of
custom and tradition. In churches and in large gatherings in the open
air, ministers will urge upon the people the necessity of keeping the first
day of the week. There are calamities on sea and land: and these
calamities will increase, one disaster following close upon another; and the
little band of conscientious Sabbath-keepers will be pointed out as the ones
who are bringing the wrath of God upon the world by their disregard of
Sunday." R & H 3-18-1884. [Men in responsible positions taking a course
different from Nehemiah can only refer to a counterpart of the Jews, namely
SDA’s]. The apostate SDA church will actually capitulate
to the enemy and adopt the transgression of desolation (Sunday-keeping) for
2300 days before the end of the reign of the beast power which lasts for 1260
days AFTER the wound is healed. The beast power will not be fully healed
until day 1290 after the initial Sunday Law. How do we know that for sure?
Because Daniel 12:11 says that the abomination of desolation (healed Rome)
will be set up a 1290 days after the daily (continuum—Law) of God is changed
or taken away. Break one and you break them all in principle, so the
enactment of the National Sunday law is like taking the daily (law) away. The
daily sacrifice had to do with the law of God. The word “sacrifice” is
supplied, as evinced by its placement in italics. By way of review, all of the events involved in the destruction of Jerusalem (Chapter 1, Great Controversy) from the time of
the planting of the Roman banner or the Abomination of Desolation on Jewish
soil, in the autumn of A.D. 66, and culminating in the destruction of the
Temple and the city of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, was a prefigure. I was shown
that The Great Controversy, p. 25,
1911 edition, says that this event was a prefigure,
a type, which demands an antitypical 3 1/2 year fulfillment. Ellen White
confirms this by saying that Ezekiel 9, will have
another literal fulfillment. No one could deny that Ezekiel 9 was involved
with the Destruction of Jerusalem, as was Ezekiel 22:17-31. I
was shown that this literal, prefigured 3 1/2 year period of time, will begin
with the commencement of the National Sunday Law, and that the first passing
of that law will begin the last seven year period, but bring no destruction
and slaughter until 43 months, 1290 days, and/or 3 1/2 years plus 30 days
later. The killing of martyrs will "legally" begin on day 1290, but
Ellen White said that government official will turn their heads away from
some killings that will occur in anticipation of the first death decree. There
are two death decrees. The first one at the end of the first1290 days will be
the death decree responsible for the many martyrs. Most of the martyrs will
occur in the 45 day period from the 1290 to the 1335. The
second decree will be after the close of probation and the plagues begin to
fall, and Ellen White says that there will be no martyrs at that time. But
there will be a death decree in an attempt to rid the earth of the 144,000
faithful remnant. That decree will fail. So one
death decree succeeds and is responsible for many martyrs and the second
fails. A
key to solving the prophetic puzzle of Daniel 8, is a realization that the
“transgression of desolation” (Dan. 8:13) will be imbibed by the apostate SDA
church, polluting the Sanctuary in heaven. This is why Adventist thought
leaders have not been able to come to a proper understanding of this
prophecy, because none have wanted to admit that the church would ever fall
prey to the enemy and actually renege to the enemy by accepting and teaching
Sunday sacredness in an effort to avoid persecution and because of unbelief. The
prime distinction between the 2300 days and its component 1290 and 1335 days
is the placement of these two specific timed events within the 2300 days,
such as the placing of the abomination of desolation on day 1290. The 1335
day is reckoned as occurring 45 days after the setting up of the abomination
of desolation on day 1290. Recall that the beginning of the 2300 days is
reckoned by counting backward from the first 1290 days added to the 1260 of
Rev. 13:1-5, which adds up to seven years or two three and one half-year
periods with a thirty day warning period at the mid-point of a total of 2550
days. How do we arrive at the 30 days? We subtract the 1260 day reign of the
beast (Rev. 13:1-5) from the 1290 days of Daniel 12:11, which is the number
of days that accrue AFTER the daily has been taken away and the abomination
of desolation set up to reign for 42 months, Revelation 13:1-5. The
transgression of desolation by the SDA church makes the 2300 literal day
prophecy absolutely necessary. Then the final literal cleansing of the
Sanctuary will take place, and not just begin the cleansing of the Sanctuary
as was the case in the historic year for a day fulfillment. The
Lord distinctly portrayed to me that it has been the spirit of Satan that has
caused these timelines to be interpreted as completely fulfilled and past.
Why? So that the people of God would not have the comfort and assurance
supplied by this knowledge, during the greatest time of trouble ever known to
mankind. A knowledge of the correct application of
these literal time prophesies will be waymarks of
encouragement to the faithful in the greatest time of trouble known to man. The
Lord assured me that Satan will continue to try to cast contempt on the very
interpretations you are reading right now. The Lord showed me that if Satan
could reduce all this instruction to ancient preteristic,
completely fulfilled history, he would be well satisfied, just as Catholics
have tried to reduce Bible prophecies to a time of ancient fulfillment. But
God has encouragement and instruction for His people in the final conflict of
the Great Controversy between Christ and Satan. Satan would prefer that you
be denied that encouragement and instruction because he knows that where
there is no vision the people perish for a lack of knowledge. Satan has been
just as artful, or more so, in getting Seventh-day Adventists to misinterpret
their prophet and scripture, than he was in the case of the Jews, our
counterpart example. I
was taken in vision to Daniel 12. I was told three times that Daniel 12:1
gives the setting of the chapter, and that its end-day fulfillment begins
after Michael stands up, and that He will not stand up until the time of the
National Sunday Law, when the earth thus declares His law null and void,
(break one, break all) and that event will begin the judging of the living,
because they cannot be judged before making their decision to obey God or
man, and receiving the great test of obedience to God's Holy Day. I was shown
that those who knew the Sabbath truth, but gave it up prior to this test,
have already judged themselves. They thus have taken their eyes off the
Midnight Cry Lighted Path, making it impossible for them to get on the Path
again, Word to the Little Flock, p.
14. I
saw that the abomination of desolation is the Sunday Law, the Roman Banner, that enforces the rule of Rome. Next, for the 10
day period of Rev. 2:10, occurring from day 1290 to day 1300, I saw the lives
of many faithful martyrs during those days that are sacrificed as "seed
for fruit" during the ensuing harvest of the continuing Loud Cry. I saw
some additional carnage after the 1300th day, and until the end of the 2300
days, but most deaths occur between the end of the 1290, 1300 and 1335,
because that is the time the Mark is first forced, and all will have to make
a decision at that time. This is why the majority of martyrdoms occur then.
But some more recent converts who are not able to flee and are taken
prisoners, may be killed later because they will be captured and will not
capitulate to the enemy. Those
who come to the 1335th day are blessed because they know that if
they have fled to the mountains in that time, they are safe. Those who flee
to the mountains are brought into covenant with the Lord, Ezekiel 20:34-38.
They will continue to give the Loud Cry from wilderness outposts. If some
take the Mark without knowing what they are doing, and later recant when they
hear the truth of the Loud cry, they will be saved. The
30 days intervening between the 1260th day and the 1290th day, constitute a
time of respite for fleeing to the mountains. Some
will not be able to flee, but will give their lives as martyrs in testimony
to their fidelity to God. We should pray for and cultivate the character that
will be required to make this great sacrifice. However, some who are not able
to flee and who are imprisoned, will be saved alive when Christ comes to be
delivered and translated without seeing death. This
is so important I will summarize again. I will paraphrase Daniel 12:11, 12: "And
from the time that the daily sacrifice (the continual--law and Sabbath) shall
be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate (the National Sunday
Law) is ENFORCED BY PENALTY, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety
days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand
three hundred and five and thirty days" (because the 10 days of faithful
martyrs (Rev. 2:10) is over, having occurred from day 1290-1300-1335) and the
144,000 will have completed their fleeing to the mountains. Those who have
been true reformers in giving a faithful warning to the church will thus know
that they will survive to be translated without seeing death. This was the
case in the prefigure of AD 66-70, and God showed me
this from that prefigure). A prefigure demands a similar antitypical fulfillment.
Every Christian who fled to the mountains in the prefigure
was saved. Thank you Lord for the prefigure type! Note
of explanation of the above paragraph: The ten days of Rev. 2:10, occurs from
day 1290 to day 1300. Most martyrdoms will occur during
those ten days as seed for fruit. All generals in God’s army of Joel 2 who
come to day 1335 without being martyred will then know that they are numbered
among the 144,000. This blessing is to encourage them to remain faithful
through the greatest time of trouble known to mankind. Smyrna
(Rev. 2:10) refers to one of the seven Christian churches. Smyrna was not
criticized. The message to Smyrna refers to sincere Christians of all faiths
who are converted to the apostate church at the eleventh hour without
understanding the apostasy in the church but they are faithful to what they
know. They are faithful unto death to what they know. They have not had time
to develop the character sufficient to be one of the 144,000, and they are 11th
hour converts from the fallen churches. But because of lack of full knowledge
in knowing what to do and when to do it, they will perish during the first 10
days of martyrdom--day 1290-1300 of the 45 days when most martyrdom takes
place as seed for fruit. End note. The
144,000 saints will, at the inception of the National Sunday Law, move to
smaller towns and villages. On the 1260th day after the passing of
the Sunday Law, there will be a thirty day warning given that all who fail to
obey the law after that time will be in danger of great penalty, even death,
and will not be able to buy nor sell if they will not obey the Sunday law
(Rev. 13:17). During this 30-day period of respite, the 144,000 will flee to
the mountains and other secluded places, just as in the AD 66-70 type, the
faithful Jews fled to The
entire 144,000 Zion bride remnant flee at the proper time, and will be
spared, as were the true Christians in 66 AD, who fled to the mountains of Two
Periods of Respite In
the type of AD 66-70, the first respite came when Cestius planted the Roman
banner on Jewish soil, and then left Jerusalem. When he left, this was the
time of respite in which all true Christians fled to the small town of Pella,
in the land of Peraea, SDA Bible
Commentary, vol. 5, pp. 74-77. When Titus returned three and one-half
years later to destroy Jerusalem and the Temple, the Jews in Pella fled to
the mountains of Pella. Likewise, at the inception of the National Sunday Law
in the USA, all true Christians will move to smaller towns, prior to fleeing
to the mountains and other secluded places at the respite provided 1260 days
later, at which time a 30 day warning will be given before stringent
enforcement of the Sunday Law by severe penalty, even death. This thirty day
warning period is also a respite time, when all true Christians will flee to
more secluded places in the mountains and deserts. I was instructed three
times: "This is the true Testimony." I replied three times:
"Amen!," Amen!," Amen! and thank you Lord God Jehovah!" The
Final Time to Sell All Property and Give All to Promoting the Cause of God All
property should be sold before the end of the first 1260 day period, for we
will have to flee during the 30 day warning period when we will be ordered to
take the Mark or else! It
takes time to close property sales so one should begin selling off about six
months before day 1260. However, there is no doubt that the value of money
will lessen before that time so one should consider the wisdom of selling
before that time and renting. This option should be weighed with retaining
property where one might earn his/her livelihood. One
should keep in mind that Ellen White says national apostasy is followed by
national ruin. According to Daniel 8:8, 9, the great horn (power) is broken
BEFORE the little horn (beast power) arises. This factor as well should be
considered in determining when sell your property and putting the money in
God’s cause of warning others of the impending doom. The Final Cleansing of the Sanctuary Daniel
8:13 and 14 demand that the cleansing of the Sanctuary does not occur until
the abomination of desolation is completed, and it is not completed until
Michael stands up and leaves the Sanctuary during the time of trouble such as
never was. Many intellectuals have seen this discrepancy and refused to
believe the SDA historic version of the 2300-day prophecy because of this
problem and because they realize that the Pope did not trod down the host and
the Sanctuary from 1793 to 1844. The problem is now solved by God. The
solvent factor is that the 2300 days has a dual application--the year for a
day historic version, and a literal 2300 day end-time application. Praise the
Lord! The stale and foolish-virgin argument that there is no more time
prophecy is obviously no more than a Satanic lie to confound God's people! I
saw that the 2300 days will be literally repeated per Daniel 8:13, 14. This
does no despite to the historic day for a year, very partial and incomplete
fulfillment. I was told three times that this period was of dual fulfillment. I
did not see the day nor hour, nor the year of Jesus'
coming. This will occur at some undetermined time soon after the 2300 days is
over. I did not see the exact time of probation’s close. This will occur
sometime after the close of the 2300 days and the beginning of the seven last
plagues. We do not know the exact date of Christ’s coming because we do not
know how short He will cut any of the time-lines and He has said He will do
just that.[11] Step
by Step Description of Fulfillment of 2300 days Which Includes 1260, 1290,
and 1335 1. 1st day of 2300 days--Daily (Sabbath Keeping taken
away) Sunday Law enacted, but not enforced until 1290th day. 2. On day 250, church leaders begin to tell its members
to keep Sunday sacred in anticipation of threat of severe penalties for
violation of Sunday 30 days later or day 1290. Some deaths occur in anticipation
of enforcement, as government officials turn their heads for 30 days before
actual enforcement ensues. Martyrdom will continue during the last but not
after, because the completion of the 2300th day closes general probationary
time and there are no martyrs after that time. However, after day 1335, there
will be less martyrdom, since the liberal SDA church faction has by then
reneged and the faithful will have fled to the mountains. 3. Day 1290--Abomination that maketh desolate (the
National Sunday Law) is set up and ENFORCED in the most holy place, in the
professing, visible, SDA church. 4. 250 days after the Sunday Law is legislated, the
church will instruct its members to keep Sunday sacred. This leaves 1040 days
to the seating of the Abomination of Desolation on Day 1290. The saints
endure 1260 days more of being trodden underfoot after day 1290, to total
2300 days of being trodden underfoot and then the Sanctuary is cleansed,
Daniel 8:14. 1040 + 1260 = 2300 days. 5. Martyrs occur as "seed for fruit"
primarily from day 1290 to 1335. However more martyrs of the faithful occur
even after the 1335th day. I was shown three times in succession that the
reason "blessed is he who comes to the 1335 day" is that all long
time true reformers who have been faithful in the message from the inception
of the National Sunday Law, and survive until the 1335th day, will not be
martyred. They will comprise the 144,000 who are translated without seeing
death. Thus they will then know that they are one of the 144,000, to fulfill
Ellen White's statement that soon those who comprise the 144,000 will know
whom they are. 6. There will be 1215 days after day 1335 until the end
of the 2300 days. 7. Sometime after the end of the 2,550th
day, there will be another or second death decree for the purpose of
annihilating the 144,000 in one decisive blow in one night (The Great Controversy, 635). God will
intervene by the brightness of His coming. 8. The first real ENFORCEMENT of the Sunday Law will be
1290 days after it is first enacted, even though government heads will turn
their head to some violence and killing just before, and in anticipation of,
the passing of the first great enforcement measure on day1290. This will
involve more death to faithful martyrs as seed for fruit, or the sowing of
the Word to the world, the Loud Cry of the fourth angel. Then, after this
first great enforcement of the Sunday Law, the gospel is given for 1260 more
days until the end of the 2300 days. See this first enforcement of the Sunday
Law in The Great Controversy, p.
626, as follows: "As the [first] decree issued by the various
rulers of Christendom against commandment keepers shall withdraw the
protection of government and abandon them to those who desire their
destruction, the people of God will flee from the cities and villages and
associate together in companies, dwelling in the most desolate and solitary
places. Many will find refuge in the strongholds of the mountains. Like the
Christians of the Piedmont valleys, they will make the high places of the
earth their sanctuaries and will thank God for the 'the munitions of rocks.'
Isaiah 33:16. But many of all nations and of all classes, high and low, rich
and poor, black and white, will be cast into the most unjust and cruel
bondage. The beloved of God pass weary days [potentially from day 1290 to
2300], bound in chains, shut in by prison bars, sentenced to be slain, some
apparently left to die of starvation in dark and loathsome dungeons. No human
ear is open to hear their moans; no human hand is ready to lend them
help." The Great Controversy,
626. This is in contradistinction to the death decree described on page 635,
where we find a description of the final death decree. 9. Final death decree: "It will be determined to strike in one night a
decisive blow, which shall utterly silence the voice of dissent and reproof. The
above statement is proof that even some who are not able to flee to the
mountains will endure to the end and be saved and translated without seeing
death. This will encourage those who are imprisoned. So
there are two distinct death decrees. At the first one men are caught, put in
bondage, and even killed [remember Ellen White said there will be many
martyrs]. At the second death decree, God's people are all delivered. By
being delivered, I do not mean translated yet. I mean that they (the 144,000)
will not thereafter be killed. They will await the voice of God. Some
SDA leaders have produced charts depicting the same days I deal with. They
are errant because they demand fleeing to the mountains at the inception of
the National Sunday Law. http://thefourwinds.org/images/1335daysendtime.gif Martyrs
as Seed Sown for Fruit, but Not After Probation has Closed Note:
“The eye of God, looking down the ages, was fixed upon the crisis which His
people are to meet, when earthly powers shall be arrayed against them. Like
the captive exile, they will be in fear of death by starvation or by
violence. But the Holy One who divided the Red Sea
before Israel, will manifest His mighty power and turn their captivity.
"They shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up
My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth
him." Malachi 3:17. If the blood of Christ's faithful witnesses were
shed at this time, it would not, like the blood of the martyrs, be as seed
sown to yield a harvest for God. Their fidelity would not be a testimony to
convince others of the truth; for the obdurate heart has beaten back the
waves of mercy until they return no more. If the righteous were now left
to fall a prey to their enemies, it would be a triumph for the prince of
darkness. Says the psalmist: "In the time of trouble He shall hide me in
His pavilion: in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me." Psalm
27:5. Christ has spoken: "Come, My people, enter thou into thy chambers,
and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment,
until the indignation be overpast. For, behold, the Lord cometh out of His place to punish the
inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity." Isaiah 26:20, 21. Glorious
will be the deliverance of those who have patiently waited for His coming and
whose names are written in the book of life.” The Great Controversy, p. 634. The
context of the above statement is at the close of probation. This is made
clear by the words: “…for the obdurate heart has beaten back the waves of
mercy until they return no more.” There is no more mercy. Probation is
closed. Martyrs would then serve no purpose as seed sown to yield a harvest
for God. On the very next page, GC 635, the final death decree is appointed
and that does not occur until probation has closed. In

[4] The two armies will stand distinct and
separate, and this distinction will be so marked that many who shall be convinced
of truth will come on the side of God's commandment-keeping people. When this
grand work is to take place in the battle, prior to the last closing
conflict, many will be imprisoned, many will flee for their lives from cities
and towns, and many will be martyrs
for Christ's sake in standing in defense of the truth. {Mar 199.2}
Now some of us may be brought to just as severe a test--will we obey the
commandments of men or will we obey the commandments of God? This is the
question that will be asked of many. The best thing for us is to come into
close connection with God, and, if He
would have us be martyrs for the truth's sake, it may be the means of
bringing many more into the truth.-- Manuscript

[6] "Study
the 9th chapter of Ezekiel. These words will be literally fulfilled yet the time is passing, and the
people are asleep. They refuse to humble their souls and to be converted. Not
a great while longer will the Lord bear with the people who have such great
and important truths revealed to them, but who refuse to bring these truths
into their individual experience. The time is short. God is calling will YOU
hear? Will YOU receive His message? Will YOU be converted before it is too
late? Soon, very soon, every case will be decided for eternity. Letter 106,

[7] The prophecy which He uttered was twofold in its
meaning; while foreshadowing the destruction of Jerusalem, it prefigured
also the terrors of the last great day. [Past fulfillment of this verse does
not preclude an end-time application especially in view of the fact that
Ellen White said that all the messages to the churches apply to the end of
time. |

[8] Begin at
My Sanctuary -- "Here we see that the church--the Lord's sanctuary--was
the first to feel the stroke of the wrath of God. The ancient men, those to whom
God had given great light and who had stood as guardians of the spiritual
interests of the people, had betrayed their trust. They had taken the
position that we need not look for miracles and the marked manifestation of
God's power as in former days. Times have changed. These words strengthen
their unbelief, and they say: The Lord will not do good,
neither will He do evil. He is too merciful to visit His people in judgment.
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. These dumb dogs that would not bark are the ones
who feel the just vengeance of an offended God. Men, maidens, and little
children all perish together." E. G. White, Testimonies, Vol. 5,
211. Ellen White begins the chapter
(p. 207) quoting Ezekiel 9. |

[9] Papacy: -- Pope, Captivity of (1798)--Exile
(Feb. 20) and Death (1799)
[ p. 50] The time, however, was arrived, when it became
more desirable to send him [the Pope] entirely out of the way, in order that
his effects might be disposed of with a better grace... [ p.
51] It was decreed that he should go; and on the morning of the 20th of
February, about seven o'clock, he left Rome, accompanied by three coaches of
his own suite, and a body of French cavalry, to escort him safe into Tuscany;
and on the 25th arrived at Siena, where he was requested to remain till
further orders. Here he was received into the monastery of S. Barbara of the
order of S. Augustin, whose members sorrowfully wel- [ p. 52] comed him at the gate, and offered all that their Convent
could bestow, to console him under his misfortunes. An earthquake having
taken place at Siena in the month of May, the Pope was removed to a Carthusian Convent within two miles of Florence... [ p. 54] He was suffered to remain in the Carthusian Convent until the 27th of March, 1799. He was
then removed to Parma; from whence he was conducted to Briancon
in France, and afterward to Valence, where he died on the 29th of August of
the same year. |
