The Real Objective of Ernie Knoll’s Dreams
24Son of man, say unto
her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of
indignation. Ezekiel 22:24 Click to go to our Home Page

I read a comment by a person on Ulicia Unruh’s
Internet chat group expressing the view that the person didn’t understand the
reason for the dreams of Ernie Knoll. There is one prime objective of his
dreams as they relate to Satan’s purposes and that is to get as many people to
remain for the Ezekiel 9 slaughter as possible.
Satan is a murderer from the beginning and he
is gathering his subjects into the midsts of apostate Jerusalem for
destruction. Ernie Knoll is not cognizant of just whom his “real” spirit guide
is, but it is non other than Satan himself.
Even persons like Ulicia Unruh, who do not
agree with Ernie’s dreams, are teaching the same cherished error that proves
him errant beyond any particle of a doubt—the long cherished error that the
chaff, dross, tares, are shaken out of the apostate SDA church to leave it
purged and purified. That totally defies the type of the last literal
fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, at which time the bad were shaken into the midsts of
Jerusalem for slaughter and burning, Ezekiel 22:17-31 and The Great Controversy, Chapter 1.
It is not small error of little consequence
that the SDA Bible Commentary, in its
comments on Ezekiel 9, says that the three Nebuchadnezzar sieges to take the
Jews captive, was the fulfilling of Ezekiel 9. And then folk like Ulicia Unruh,
the wife of an SDA minister teaches the same thing. Ernie Knoll could not teach
a more serious lying deception than SDA leaders have taught in their comments
under Ezekiel 9. This is as plain as day is from night, yet the greatest
thought leaders of professing Seventh-day Adventism have made such a colossal
error! Unbelievable! Search this out for yourself! It’s all a matter of clear,
Biblical history! How could SDA leaders make such a mistake?
God’s design for the captivities (NOT EZEKIEL
9 DESTRUCTIONS) was the hope that His people would reform. The CAPTIVITIES, as
they are commonly known, were punishments for their apostasy. There could be no fulfillment of Ezekiel 9
until the 490 years of probation (Daniel 9) ended in A.D. 34. And 36 years
later the Temple and Jerusalem were destroyed after a mark (seal) was placed on
every true Christian. Three and one-half years before, all true Christians fled
to Pella and were saved.
Ellen White says that Ezekiel 9 will be
literally fulfilled again, “to the letter.” In the last literal fulfillment of
Ezekiel 9, the dross (all the bad) were gathered into
the midst’s of Jerusalem for slaughter and burning. Any future literal fulfillment
must follow that type or it would not be fulfilled literally and “to the
letter.” Ernie’s dreams go directly contrary to Ezekiel 22:24 where God says
that apostate Jerusalem is the land (church) that is not cleansed nor rained
upon with the Holy Spirit in the day of indignation, and that day is foretold
in Revelation 14. Its prime fulfillment is at the end-time.
In the first fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, the
apostate leaders hired false prophets to inspire the people to remain at the
apostate Temple church, telling them that was the only
place of safety and that God would protect them there, and that the Romans
would never penetrate the thick gates to the city of Jerusalem. True prophets
of God warned the Jews of the impending doom of their Temple and city proper.
The same is occurring today in regard to the apostate new movement, new
organizations masquerading as the Seventh-day Adventist church.
Ernie Knoll is repeating the cherished error
that all the dross will be shaken out of the new movement church. The tares,
dross and chaff will be shaken out of the true SDA church that is described in
the following verses of Ezekiel:
34And I will bring you out
from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are
scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury
poured out.
35And I will bring you into the
wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
36Like as I pleaded with your
fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith
the Lord GOD.
37And I will cause you to
pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
38And I will purge out from
among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them
forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the
land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 20:34-38.
Who does the shaking? The Church Zion That
Does Not Fall -- The True SDA Church Defined as Follows:
Every time Ellen White mentions folk “going
out from us because they were not of us,” it is the following true and faithful
SDA church she refers to.
"Characteristics of True Reformers.--Here are
given the characteristics of those who shall be reformers, who will bear the
banner of the third angel's message, those who avow themselves God's
commandment-keeping people, and who honor God, and are earnestly engaged, in
the sight of all the universe, in building up the old waste places. Who is it
that calls them, The repairers of the breach, The
restorers of paths to dwell in? It is God. Their names are registered [written--Heb.
12:22, 23] in heaven as reformers, restorers, as raising the foundations of
many generations." E. G. White, SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 4, 1151.
“It is no argument
against the truth that there are few who are willing to accept it. Few accepted
the world's Redeemer. Though the multitude flocked around him, eager to receive
temporal blessings, yet he sadly declared: "Ye will not come to me that ye
might have life." Men are now no more favorable to practical godliness;
they are just as intently seeking earthly good, to the neglect of eternal
riches. And reformers
of the present day will meet with the same discouragements as did their
Master.”{ST, January 28, 1886 par. 3}
The Third Angel
Third angel "I was shown that the THIRD
ANGEL, proclaiming the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, represents
the PEOPLE who receive this message and raise the voice in warning to the
world." Testimonies for the Church, vol. 1, 77.
"I then saw the THIRD ANGEL. Said my accompanying angel, 'Fearful is his work. Awful is
his mission. He is the angel that is to select the wheat from the tares, and seal,
or bind, the wheat for the heavenly garner." E.G. White, Early Writings, 118.
Third Angel—“No one hears the voice of these
angels, for they are a symbol to represent the people of God
who are working in harmony with the universe of heaven. Men and women, enlightened by the Spirit of
God and sanctified through the truth, proclaim the three messages in their
order.” E.G. White, Selected
Messages, Bk. 2, p. 387.
"The angel
represented in prophecy as delivering this message, symbolizes a class of
faithful men, who obedient to the promptings of God's Spirit and the teachings
of his word, proclaim this warning to the inhabitants of earth. This message
WAS NOT to be committed to the religious leaders of the people." E.. White, The Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 4, 199, 200.
"The church may appear as about to fall,
but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners IN ZION will be sifted
out--the chaff separated from the precious wheat [AFTER THE CLOSE OF
PROBATIONARY TIME--CHRIST'S OBJECT LESSONS 72]. This is a terrible ordeal, but
nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the
blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will be found with the loyal
and true, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths...
The REMNANT that purify
their souls by obeying the truth gather strength from the trying process,
exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the surrounding apostasy. All these, He
says, 'I have graven . . . upon the palms of my hands' (Isa. 49:16)...
That which God required of Adam before his
fall was perfect obedience to His law. God requires now what He required of
Adam, perfect obedience, righteousness without a flaw, without shortcoming in
His sight....We cannot do this without that faith that brings Christ's
righteousness into daily practice." E.G. White, Selected Messages, Vol. 2, 380.
The Church That Appears as About to Fall
It is not the SDA church militant (wheat and
tare co-ed church) that appears as about to fall but does not fall. That church
will fall in Ezekiel 9 destruction. Ellen White clearly stated that
"nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement.” (1SM
205) So how could it appear to fall? The real church that
appears as about to fall is the church in the wilderness that is surrounded by
its enemies at the very end, just before that church triumphant is delivered by
the voice of God. Ellen White parallels that church as about to fall with
the experience of Jacob, when he was going forth to meet his brother Essau and
his armies. In The Great Controversy, pp. 616, and 630, Ellen White
refers to the church that appears as about to fall in this context. So SDA
leaders have taken that statement totally out of context, to try to convince
its members that the apostate new movement will appear as about to fall but
won't--no matter what it does.
"The enemy of souls has sought to
bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among
Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up
the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a
process of reorganization. Were this reformation to
take place, what would result? The principles of truth that God in His wisdom
has given to the remnant church, would be discarded.
Our religion would be changed. The fundamental principles that have sustained
the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. A NEW
ORGANIZATION would be established. Books of a new order would be written. A
system of intellectual philosophy would be introduced. The founders of this
system would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work. The Sabbath of
course, would be lightly regarded, as also the God who created it. Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the
NEW MOVEMENT. The leaders would teach that virtue is better than vice, but God being
removed, they would place their dependence on human power, which, without God,
is worthless. Their foundation would be built on the sand, and storm and
tempest would sweep away the structure.
WHO HAS AUTHORITY
TO BEGIN SUCH A [NEW] MOVEMENT? We have our Bibles. We have our experience,
attested to by the miraculous working of the Holy Spirit. We have a truth that
admits of no compromise. Shall we not repudiate everything that is not in
harmony with this truth?" E.G. White, Selected
Messages, Vol. 1, 204-205.
Why the Apostate
New Movement, New Organization Finally Falls in Ezekiel 9 Destruction:
Prophesied Fall of
The Professing Seventh-day Adventist Church:
"Jesus sends HIS PEOPLE a message of warning to prepare them for his
coming. To the prophet John was made known the closing work in the great plan of
man's redemption. He beheld an angel flying 'in the midst of heaven, having the
everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to
every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice,
Fear God, and give glory to him for the hour of his Judgment is come and
worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of
waters [Rev. 14:6, 7.].
The angel represented in prophecy as
delivering this message, symbolizes a class of faithful men, who,
obedient to the promptings of God's Spirit and the teachings of his word,
proclaim this warning to the inhabitants of earth. This message was not to be committed to the religious leaders of the
people. They had failed to preserve their connection with God, and had
REFUSED THE LIGHT FROM HEAVEN therefore they WERE NOT of the number described
by the apostle Paul: 'But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day
should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the
children of the day we are not of the night nor of
darkness' [1 Thess. 5:4, 5].
The watchmen
upon the walls of Zion should be the first to catch the tidings of the
Saviour's advent, the first to lift their voices to proclaim him near, the first to warn the people to prepare for his coming. But
they were at ease, dreaming of peace and safety, while the people were asleep
in their sins. Jesus saw HIS CHURCH, like the barren fig-tree, covered
with pretentious leaves, yet destitute of precious fruit. There was a boastful
observance of the forms of religion, while the spirit of true humility,
penitence and faith--which alone could render the service acceptable to
God--was lacking. Instead of the graces of the Spirit, there were
manifested pride, formalism, vainglory, selfishness, oppression. A BACKSLIDING CHURCH closed
their eyes to the signs of the times. God did nor forsake them, or suffer his
faithfulness to fail but they departed from him, and
SEPARATED THEMSELVES from his love. As they REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH THE CONDITIONS, his promises were
NOT FULFILLED to them." E.G. White, The
Spirit of Prophecy, Vol. 4, pp. 199-200 [The 1884 edition of The
Great Controversy, 199, 200].
The SDA COUNTERPART FACTOR to the Jews
COUNTERPART: "The Lord commanded one of
his ancient servants, 'Pray not thou for this people
[Jer. 7:16 and 11:14], neither lift up cry nor prayer for them neither make
intercession to me for I will not hear thee.' The prophet thus describes the
sins which had called forth this fearful denunciation: 'The prophets prophesy falsely,
and the priests bear rule by their means and my people love to have it so and
what will ye do in the end thereof?' 'From the least of them even unto the
greatest of them, every one is given to covetousness and from the prophet even
unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt of
the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no
peace.' The apostles declare that this state of things will find its
COUNTERPART in the last days. Many have a form of godliness, but in their daily
life deny the power thereof. They have ceased to be convicted of their sins or
alarmed at their state. They say in their hearts, 'The church is flourishing.
Peace and spiritual prosperity are within her borders.' The words of the
prophet may well apply to these self-deceivers, 'They have chosen their own
ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their
delusions, and will bring their fears upon them." E. G. White, Second
Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, 11-07-82.
"Shall the Lord be compelled to say,
`Pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them,
neither make intercession to Me: for I will not hear
thee' [Jeremiah 7:16]? `Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there
hath been no latter rain....Wilt thou not from this time cry unto Me, My
Father, thou art the guide of my youth' [Jeremiah 3:3-4]?...
We are to be judged by the light that has been given us,(159) and we can find
no excuse by which to extenuate our course." Review
and Herald, Vol. 3, p 69-70 (August 1, 1893). (Brackets by
Ellen White)
COUNTERPART: "In the time of the Saviour, the Jews had so covered over the
precious jewels of truth with the rubbish of tradition and fable, that it was impossible
to distinguish the true from the false. The Saviour came to clear away the
rubbish of superstition and long-cherished errors, and to set the jewels of
God's word in the framework of truth. What would the Saviour do if he should
come to us now as he did to the Jews? He would have to do a similar work in
clearing away the rubbish of tradition and ceremony. The Jews were greatly
disturbed when he did this work [As are SDAs today!]. They had lost sight of
the original truth of God, but Christ brought it again to view. It is our work
to free the precious truths of God from superstition and error." E.G.
White, Review
and Herald, Vol. 2, 308.
The Lord commanded one of his ancient
servants, "Pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer
for them; neither make intercession to me; for I will not hear thee." The
prophet thus describes the sins which had called forth this fearful
denunciation: "The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by
their means; and my people love to have it so; and what will ye do in the end
thereof?" "From the least of them even unto the greatest of them,
every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest,
every one dealeth falsely. They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my
people slightly, saying, Peace, peace, when there is no peace." {RH,
November 7, 1882 par. 8}
The apostles declare
that this state of things will find its counterpart in the last days. Many have
a form of godliness, but in their daily life deny the power thereof. They have
ceased to be convicted of their sins or alarmed at their state. They say in
their hearts, "The church is flourishing. Peace and spiritual prosperity
are within her borders." The words of the prophet may well apply to these
self-deceivers, "They have chosen their own ways, and their soul
delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will
bring their fears upon them." {RH, November 7, 1882 par. 9}
Who else but SDA’s could qualify as the COUNTERPART of the Jews when
they both are “chosen people” who claim to keep the commandments of God and
constitute a remnant?!
The dreams of one Ernie
Knoll run counter to all of the above evidence, thus contradicting the Bible
and the Spirit of Prophecy. They are straight from Satan. But those without
spiritual discernment cannot see this simple, clear, evidence. Amazing isn’t
it?! But even more amazing is that SDA leaders teach the same error—that the
bad will be shaken out of their new movement, new organization, imposter church to leave it cleansed, purged, and rained
upon by the Holy Spirit. This is the objective of Ernie Knoll’s dreams and
Satan’s attempt to murder every professing Seventh-day Adventist. But try and
warn them. They know it all and they don’t want to hear the truth. The Jews
were some of the worst bigots to ever walk the earth. And they have their
COUNTERPART in far too many professing Seventh-day Adventists.
“What greater deception can come upon human minds than a confidence that
they are right, when they are all wrong?
The message of the True Witness finds the people of God in a sad deception, yet
honest in that deception. They know not that their condition is deplorable in
the sight of God. While those addressed are flattering themselves that they are
in an exalted spiritual condition, the
message of the True Witness breaks their security by the startling denunciation
of their true situation of spiritual
blindness, poverty, and wretchedness. The testimony, so cutting and severe,
cannot be a mistake; for it is the True Witness who speaks, and his testimony
must be correct.” {RH, September 16, 1873 par. 5}
