My
Vision on The Sunday Law Coming Down the Tube
“The angel with the writer's ink horn is to place a
mark upon the foreheads of all who are separated from sin and sinners, and the
destroying angel follows this angel (Letter 12, 1886).” {4BC 1161.5}
“A nation's sin
and a nation's ruin were due to the religious leaders.” Christ's Object Lessons, p 305
(see also Desire of Ages, p
738).
I was shown that most of the following video by
Andrew and Hillary Henriques is very important and correct. The part that is
not correct is wherein Andrew quotes Revelation 14:1-4, where the bride IS NOT
DEFILED WITH WOMEN, but he does not elaborate on these words to explain how the
bride would be defiled by women (apostate churches).
URGENT—VERY IMPORTANT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orGFbA1BQ3w
All formally organized churches at the end-time are
in apostasy, for our very sealing is CONDITIONAL upon sighing and crying for all
the abominations committed ESPECIALLY in spiritual Jerusalem, the once SDA
church militant. What is a church militant? A church that militates for the
pure truth and only the pure truth. A new movement that has removed God and
pillar doctrines (1SM 204-205) could never qualify as a church militant.
A Mark is Put Upon All Who are
Separated From Sin and Sinners
“The
angel with the writer's ink horn is to place a mark upon the foreheads of all
who are separated from sin and sinners, and the destroying angel follows this
angel (Letter 12, 1886).” {4BC 1161.5}
"It
is IMPOSSIBLE for you to unite with those who are corrupt, and still remain pure.
(II Corinthians 6:14-15 quoted). God and Christ and the heavenly host would
have men know that if he unites with the corrupt he
will become corrupt." E. G. White, Review
and Herald, Vol. 4, p. 137.
“Mark this point with care: Those who receive the
pure mark of truth, wrought in them by the power of the Holy Ghost, represented
by a mark by the man in linen, are those "that sigh and that cry for all
the abominations that be done" in the church.” {Mar
240.1}
Ezekiel 9 specifies that this sanctuary is the once
spiritual Jerusalem, to wit:
Eze 9:4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the
midst of the city, through
the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that
sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
Jerusalem represents God’s “chosen people.” In the
PREFIGURE of Great Controversy, Chapter 1, and page 25, where it
mentions that the last destruction in Jerusalem was the PREFIGURE, Jerusalem
represented the Jews to whom God had sent all the prophets.
From A.D. 34-66, all the faithful Christians were
gathered out into home churches. But the bride, the disciples, DA 179, were
gathered out as the first act of Christ’s ministry in A.D. 27, even before the
probation of Israel’s 490 years (Daniel 9) was ended in A.D. 34.
The bride was gathered out first and trained to
give their message to the Jews as soon as their probation of 490 years (Dan. 9)
ended in A.D. 34, commensurate with the stoning of Stephen.
"The Sanhedrin had rejected Christ's message
and was bent upon His death therefore Jesus departed from Jerusalem, from the priests, the
temple, the religious leaders, the people who had been instructed in the law,
and turned to another class to proclaim His message, and to gather out those who should carry
the gospel to all nations. As the light and life of men was rejected by
the ecclesiastical authorities in the days of Christ, so it has been rejected
in every succeeding generation. Again and again the
history of Christ's withdrawal from Judea has been repeated. When the Reformers
preached the word of God, they had no thought of separating themselves from the
established church but the religious leaders would not
tolerate the light, and those that bore it were forced to seek another class,
who were longing for the truth. In our day few of the professed followers of
the Reformers are actuated by their spirit. Few are listening for the voice of
God, and ready to accept truth in whatever guise it may be presented. Often
those who follow in the steps of the Reformers are forced to turn away from the
churches they love, in order to declare the plain teaching of the word of God.
And many times those who are seeking for light are by
the same teaching obliged to leave the church of their fathers, that they may
render obedience." E.G. White, Desire of Ages, p. 232.
“Christ was a protestant. He protested
against the formal worship of the Jewish nation, who rejected the
counsel of God against themselves. He told them that they taught for doctrines
the commandments of men, and that they were pretenders and hypocrites. Like
whited sepulchers they were beautiful without, but within full of impurity and
corruption. The Reformers date back to Christ and the
apostles. They came
out and separated themselves from a religion of forms and ceremonies.
Luther and his followers did not invent the reformed religion. They simply
accepted it as presented by Christ and the apostles. The Bible is presented
to us as a sufficient guide; but the pope and his
workers remove it from the people as if it were a curse, because it exposes
their pretensions and rebukes their idolatry.
{RH, June 1, 1886 par. 14}
At the end-time, the bride is gathered out first
and taken to Christ’s own house, Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 405, Zion,
the church in heaven, Hebrews 12:22, 23, by faith. Remember, she cannot be
defiled with women, which means apostate churches, even once spiritual
Jerusalem, because it is IMPOSSIBLE to remain/become pure while united with the
corrupt.
Corporate Responsibility
"The plain straight testimony must live in the
church, or the curse of God will rest upon His people as surely as it did upon
ancient Israel because of their sins. God holds His people, as a body
[corporately], responsible for the sins existing in individuals among
them." Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 269.
"The names of those who sin and refuse to repent
should not be retained on the church books, lest the saints be held
accountable for their evil deeds. Those who pursue a course of
transgression should be visited and labored with, and if they then refuse to
repent, they should be separated from church fellowship, in accordance with the
rules laid down in the Word of God." {11MR 208.3}
"The
headquarters of our church, affect the whole body of believers. If the
physical heart is healthy, the blood that is sent from it through the system is
also healthy; but if this fountain is impure, the whole organism becomes
diseased by the poison of the vital fluid. So it is
with us. If the heart of the work becomes corrupt, the whole church, in its
various branches and interests, scattered abroad over the face of the
earth, suffers in consequence." Testimonies, vol. 4, p. 210.
“Achan’s sin brought disaster
upon the whole nation. For one man’s sin the displeasure of God will rest upon
His church till the transgression is searched out and put away. The influence
most to be feared by the church is not that of open opposers, infidels, and
blasphemers, but of inconsistent professors of Christ. These are the ones that
keep back the blessing of the God of Israel and bring weakness upon His
people.” {PP 497.2}
“When the church is in difficulty, when coldness and
spiritual declension exist, giving occasion for the enemies of God to triumph,
then, instead of folding their hands and lamenting their unhappy state, let its
members inquire if there is not an Achan in the camp. With humiliation and
searching of heart, let each seek to discover the hidden sins that shut out
God’s presence.” {PP 497.3}
Corporate responsibility: "For evils that we might
have checked, we are just as responsible as if we were guilty." Desire of Ages, p. 44.
The very reason the faithful have always been
separated from the unfaithful in every succeeding generation (DA 232), is
because of the Bible principle of corporate responsibility:
"There are fearful woes for those who
preach the truth, but are not sanctified by it, and also for those who consent
to receive and maintain the unsanctified to minister to them in word and
doctrine." Testimonies, vol. 1, p 261-62.
"We are just as responsible for evils that we might
have checked in others by exercise of parental or pastoral authority as if the
acts had been our own." Patriarchs Prophets, 578.2
However, NOTHING WILL BE ALLOWED TO STAND IN THE WAY OF
THE NEW MOVEMENT. The disciples were not responsible for the apostate Pharisees
and the Sadducees who rejected their message.
“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.” Selected Messages, book
1, pp. 204, 205.
Anyone who cannot see that the new movement has
been in place since 1955, has not kept pace with the serious abominations that
have occurred since that time IN THE CHURCH BY THE CHURCH LEADERS.
Time to Speak Up
Today it is time for every true and faithful Seventh- day
Adventist to raise his voice against this apostate movement within the church.
This will bring persecution.
“It needs something besides theory to reach hearts now. It
needs the stirring testimony to alarm and arouse; that will stir the enemy's
subjects, and then honest souls will be led to decide for truth. There has
been and still is with some a disposition to have everything move on very
smoothly. They see no necessity of [a] straight testimony.
“Sins exist in the church that God hates, but they are
scarcely touched for fear of making enemies. Opposition has risen in the church
to the plain testimony. Some will not bear it. They wish smooth things spoken
unto them. If the wrongs of individuals are touched, they complain of
severity, and sympathize with those in the wrong. As Ahab inquired of
Elijah, ‘Art thou he that troubleth Israel? ' they
are ready to look with suspicion and doubt upon those who bear the plain
testimony, and like Ahab overlook the wrong which made it necessary for reproof
and rebuke. . . . Just as long as God has a church, he will have those who will cry
aloud and spare not. . . whether men will hear or forbear. I saw that
individuals would rise up against the plain
testimonies.” — Spiritual
Gifts, vol. 2, pages 283, 284.
"Christ has plainly taught that those who
persist in open sin must
be separated from the church, but He has not committed to us the work of
judging character and motive. He knows
our nature too well to entrust this work to us.
Should we try to uproot from the church those whom we suppose to be
spurious Christians, we should be sure to make mistakes. Often we regard as
hopeless subjects the very one whom Christ is drawing to Himself, it would
perhaps extinguish their last hope. Many
who think themselves Christians will at last be found wanting. Many will be in heaven who their neighbors
supposed would never enter there. Man judges from appearance, but God judges the heart. The tares and the wheat are to grow together
until the harvest; and the harvest is the end of probationary time." COL 71.
When open sin is not separated from the
church, the members become corporately responsible for it. When the leaders
ALLOW NOTHING TO STAND IN THEIR WAY, there is only one recourse. LEAVE THEM, or
you are corporately responsible for all their abominations:
Paul left
"And as they persisted in their rejection
of the gospel the apostle (Paul) went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for
the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the
kingdom of God. But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil
of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the
disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus." Acts, 19:8, 9.
"Fearing that the faith of the believers
would be endangered by continued association with these opposers of the truth,
Paul separated from them, and gathered the disciples into a distinct
body." E.G. White, Acts of the Apostles, p. 286.
Leave them "If God has any new light to
communicate, He will let His chosen and beloved understand it, without their
going to have their minds enlightened by hearing those who are in darkness and
error. {EW 124.2}
“I was shown the necessity of those who
believe that we are having the last message of mercy, being separate from those
who are daily imbibing new errors. I saw that neither young nor old should
attend their meetings; for it is wrong to thus encourage them while they teach
error that is a deadly poison to the soul and teach for doctrines the
commandments of men. The influence of such gatherings is not good. If God has
delivered us from such darkness and error, we should stand fast in the liberty
wherewith He has set us free and rejoice in the truth. God is displeased with
us when we go to listen to error, without being obliged to go; for unless He
sends us to those meetings where error is forced home to the people by the
power of the will, He will not keep us. The angels cease their watchful care
over us, and we are left to the buffetings of the enemy, to be darkened and weakened
by him and the power of his evil angels; and the light around us becomes
contaminated with the darkness. {EW 124.3}
I saw that we have no time to throw away in
listening to fables. Our minds should not be thus diverted, but should be
occupied with the present truth,..." EW p. 125.
"Even though you may not be able to speak
a word to those who are working on wrong principles, leave them. Your
withdrawal and silence may do more than words. Nehemiah refused to associate with those
who were untrue to principle, and he would not permit his workmen to associate
with them. The love and fear of God were his safeguard-Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone. Thus as did Moses,
you will endure the seeing of Him who is invisible. But a cowardly and silent reserve before
evil associates, while you listen to their devices makes you one with them Come
out from among them and be separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean
thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be
my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." Review
& Herald Vol. 4, p. 42.
Scripture on Home Churches
Act 16:32 And they spake unto him the word of
the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Act 16:34 And when he had brought them into
his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his
house.
Act 16:40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they
had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Act 18:7 And he departed thence, and entered into a certain [man's] house, named Justus, [one]
that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
Rom 16:5 Likewise [greet] the church that is
in their house. Salute my well beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of
Achaia unto Christ.
1Cr 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of
you, my brethren, by them [which are of the house] of Chloe, that there are
contentions among you.
1Cr 16:15 I beseech you, brethren, (ye know
the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and [that] they
have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
1Cr 16:19 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila
and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the
church that is in their house.
Ellen White on Home Churches
When the young men and women were kept away
from the Alpha of apostasy in the church, what did they do and where did they
meet for worship?
Ellen White on Home Churches in the Alpha of
Apostasy:
"There is a little hope in one direction:
Take the young men and women, and place them where
they will come as little in contact with our churches as possible, that the low
grade of piety which is current in this day shall not leaven their ideas of
what it means to be a Christian." E.G. White, Manuscript Release #995,
p. 5.
Were she
consistent, and the Holy Spirit is consistent, what would Ellen White do in the
case of the omega of apostasy that involves the entire world church? Since
Jesus separated from the apostate “chosen people” church of His day, if He was
consistent, AND HE IS, what would He do today?
"God has a church. It is not the great cathedral, (or the
super mega church), neither
is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations;
it is the people who love God
and keep His commandments. 'Where two or three are gathered together in
My name, there am I in
the midst of them.'
Where Christ is even among the humble few, THIS IS CHRIST'S CHURCH, for the
presence of the High and Holy One who inhabiteth eternity can alone constitute
a church." Upward Look, p.
315.
"The church is
in the Laodicean condition. The presence of God is not in her
midst." Notebook Leaflets, p.99.
"The state of the Church represented by the
foolish virgins, is also spoken of as the Laodicean state." E.G. White, Review and Herald,
8/19/1890.
"The church is in
the Laodicean state. The presence of God is not in her midst.--NL 99 (1898). Latter
Day Events, p. 49.
The question always arises, why didn’t Ellen White
separate in her day if Christ and His disciples separated from the prevailing
apostasy of their day? The answer is that Ellen White was able to MEET AND CURB
the open sin of the leaders in her day. But she prophesied that the new
movement, new organization leaders WOULD ALLOW NOTHING TO STAND IN THEIR WAY.
That leaves one option. Separation from sin and sinners.
Andrew Henriques, like Walter Veith, is right on
many issue, but Andrew is errant in not calling for
his followers to separate their membership from a new movement they were never
to join, EVEN IF SATAN FORMED IT AMONG, WITHIN THE once sda
church militant. Also, Andrew and Walter do not teach corporate responsibility,
and the only way to comply with this principle at the end-time is to separate
from sin and sinners. We need to pray for all who do not see this stipulation
of the Word and the SOP.
I was shown that it is not enough to just be
separate, but we must remove MEMBERSHIP from all apostate churches, for
MEMBERSHIP gives sanction to them.
"We
should never give sanction to sin by our words, our deeds, our silence or our
presence." Desire of Ages, 152.
Membership implies support of. The MEMBERS of the
same church Achan was a MEMBER of, were corporately responsible for his sin.
The MEMBERS of Christ’s church are MEMBERS of HIS BODY. He is the HEAD and they
are the body. Thus there is a very close liaison between
the HEAD AND THE MEMBERS OF THE BODY.
"A nation's sin and a
nation's ruin were due to the religious leaders." Christ's Object Lessons, p 305
(see also Desire of Ages, p
738).
Do you discern the principle of CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
in the above statement. The NATION’S sin and ruin were
attributable to the religious leaders. But the MEMBERS were destroyed with
them. GC, Chapter 1. Ezekiel 22:17-31.
Oh, but you say:
“Israel was a theocracy!” So is God’s TRUE CHURCH:
"God's people have been called out of the
world, that they may be separated from the world. It is not safe for them to
take sides in politics, whatever preference they may have. They are ever to remember that
they are one in Christ. God calls upon them to enter their names as under His
THEOCRACY. He cannot approve of those who link up with worldlings [and
churches which cannot be distinguished from the world, Early Writings, 273].
We are entirely out of our place when we identify ourselves with party
interests....
God has chosen a people who are to proclaim the
third angel's message to the world. They are to be a separate and peculiar
people in this world of churches who are transgressing His commandments." E.G.

“The angel with the writer's ink horn is to place a
mark upon the foreheads of all who are separated from sin and sinners, and the
destroying angel follows this angel (Letter 12, 1886).” {4BC 1161.5}
What about all the abominations IN THE MIDST OF THE
CHURCH THAT WE ARE TO BE SIGHING AND CRYING ABOUT, while the leaders allow
nothing to stand in their way? We are to be separated FROM ALL SIN AND SINNERS
if we would qualify for the MARK OF THE MAN IN LINEN, THE SEAL OF CHRIST.
Other than the above considerations, and Andrew’s
careless reading of Revelation 14:1-4, regarding the 144,000 (bride) NOT being
“defiled with women,” (ANY apostate church), the following video is very
compelling in depicting just how imminent the Sunday Law is. If this video
won’t arouse to the seriousness of how close the Sunday Law is to “coming down
the tube,” nothing will. And to think that recently, Ted Wilson, GC President, said
there is no evidence of a Sunday Law “coming down the tube!”
