Warning
to Get Out of the USA from A Sermon by AT Jones
A Shocking and Sobering Warning to Get Out of the USA from A Sermon by
AT Jones.
“The day is coming when every Seventh-day Adventist in the United States (of America)
would give everything that he has, and his life almost, if he could be
outside the United States.
Let me say that again. I am speaking something now that interests every
Seventh-day Adventist. The day is coming, and is not far off, when
every Seventh-day Adventist will wish to the depths of his (or her) soul that
he were out of the United States: and multitudes will condemn themselves, and
will fret themselves under the condemnation, that they did not go out of the
United States WHEN THEY HAD A CHANCE.
“God set this country of the United States as the light to the
world with the principles of God, for all mankind, and nations
particularly. Since these principles have been the place of refuge for
all people to come hitherto, the place of the land of liberty and light, and
blessing to mankind, the effect will be directly contrary hereafter, and the
message of God is now to all nations, ENTER NOT INTO THE UNITED STATES; and
those that are in it, GET OUT. And this is God’s call to
Seventh-day Adventists, to get out, cut loose, sell out, leave here; For the
day is coming when you cannot sell, AND CANNOT LEAVE.”
I have verified that this statement was taken from a sermon given by A.T. Jones on April 13, 1901 in Battle Creek, Michigan.
It was published in the Gen. Conf. Bulletin of the Review & Herald on
April 16, 1901. EGW did not make this statement nor
did she contradict it or make any comment about it. However, in light
of what is now taking place in our nation at this time re: the removal of
liberty and prophecies about coming persecution, imprisonment, torture and
death it would seem logical to consider if there is any way to escape what
seems inevitable. EGW stated that Jones
and Waggoner were “Messengers,” which means the Lord gave them special
messages to deliver to His people. Is this one of them that was ignored
and possibly thought to be radical in 1901? Jesus warned His
followers to escape from Jerusalem
before it was destroyed. And those who heeded His warning survived the
terrible slaughter that took place in AD 70. Is this a warning for us
today? I believe it is something we should be thinking about and
praying about very seriously. mfc.
