The Lord Loves His Church and it Will Not be Broken-up Into Atoms!

Dear Reader,

The following appeared on an internet e-group posting. My comments will appear below this quip:

In Roger Morneau's book called "A trip into the Supernatural" he says Satan has plans for the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The Satanic High Priest declared that Satan and his Chief Counselors are studying ways of reducing the Adventist into splinters. One of their strategies would be to cause some Seventh Day Adventist individuals who possessed great intellect and great capacity to convince and convert; to sow discontent and dissatisfaction among the people at the same time and in many ways the enemy would greatly magnify some of the mistakes made by some of its leaders and would do so without ceasing.

Demon spirits would bitterly attack and fill peoples minds with the thought that the leadership of the Church is corrupt and that the Creator had rejected His Commandment keeping Church. As a result vast numbers of people said the Satanic priest would with draw their tithes and offering from the Church causing cancellations of many of the programs of mercy and benevolence it had successfully carried on for so long. The High Priest continued it will be a great day for our masters and his chief counselors when the Seventh Day Adventist Church is reduced into splinters there will be great celebrations taking place.

I'm interested by his air of certainty in that statement that the Seventh Day Adventist Church will be reduced into splinters. I'm glad to report that he is sadly mistaken and he greatly under estimates Christ and His Spirit working through His People. I know that the Lord loves His church. It is not to be disorganized or broken up into independent atoms. There is not the least consistency in this; there is not the least evidence that such a thing will be. Those who shall heed this false message and try to leaven others will be deceived and prepared to receive advanced delusions, and they will come to naught. {1MR 362.2}

There are TODAY pied pipers who say the Adventist Church has become Babylon, they try to splinter the Church by calling the people out to form home Churches. There are individuals who possess great intellect and great capacity to convince and convert and to sow discontent and dissatisfaction among God People. There are some who greatly magnify some of the mistakes made by some of the leaders and bitterly attack and fill the peoples minds with the thought that the leadership of the Church is corrupt.

Ellen White has a few words for them "Those who shall heed this false message and try to leaven others will be deceived and prepared to receive advanced delusions, and they will come to naught." {1MR 362.2}

Ron Beaulieu's Commentary:

Forum, Ellen White's description of how and why God is "removed" from the Omega of Apostasy Seventh-day Adventist church appears in Selected Messages, Book 1, 204-5. She said that NOTHING will be allowed to stand in the way of the New Movement--New Organization formed within the church "among" Seventh-day Adventists. ibid, p. 204. If God has been removed, that leaves one other Master option.

Satan must not have heard of Roger Morneau's scenario, and he must not believe Ellen White, because she stated that the Omega of Apostasy New Movement--New Organization SDA church militant, would not allow anything to stand in its way. She said it would remove God. Satan is not divided among himself. If God is removed, then he is the master operating the church in a Trojan-horse style coup of the church militant and does not need agents predicting its demise. He has been far more clever than Roger Morneau and like thinkers. Morneau and anyone who agrees with him is very ignorant because of the following factors.

Ellen White said that Ezekiel 9 will literally occur in the church that has been blessed with great light--the House of Jacob, Jerusalem. She said that its members will NEVER AGAIN be shown their sins, Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 211. These facts do not bode well for the church even though God loves it as He loved His first "chosen" church people--the Jews. There is not the least consistency in any teaching that the church will be broken into atoms. That would contradict Ezekiel chapters 5 and 9. If the church was ever broken up into atoms, Ezekiel 9 could not literally be fulfilled within her (Jerusalem's) borders.

In Ezekiel 5, which is merely another take on chapter 9, Ezekiel says in verses 1-3, that the entire church is destroyed after a small remnant is taken in His skirts, which is marriage terminology referring to the true and faithful bride of Christ, or the SDA church triumphant which will go through to the Kingdom and indeed is a member of the Zion church of Hebrews 12:22, 23 even now.

Anyone teaching contrary to these facts would be totally out of step with Scripture and the Spirit of Prophecy. Satan must not be very successful by Roger Morneau's thinking, because I do not know of a single professing Seventh-day Adventists who TODAY is teaching that the SDA church will be broken up into atoms and thus will be disorganized until Ezekiel 9 befalls her borders. Satan has been far more clever than Roger Morneau and most sleeping virgin SDA's have envisioned. He came in and took over the church from the inside and all the sleeping virgins are non the wiser. That is what happened to God's first chosen people. They ended-up being called the Synagogue of Satan. Ellen White said that they were a PREFIGURE of God's end-time church--Jerusalem. She said there would be a COUNTERPART to the apostate Jewish church. Notice:

"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.

Read Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 211. The chapter begin on p. 207, quoting Ezekiel 9. Ellen White is writing to SDAs. The Testimonies were to them. She says that the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, prefigured the destruction of the world at the end-time, but she ALSO said where that destruction begins--AT HIS SANCTUARY, ibid. p. 211.

Babylon is not His Sanctuary. The Synagogue of Satan is not His Sanctuary. Jerusalem, the professing church, is His sanctuary, "the people who have been privileged with great light." Ibid. p. 211.

A COUNTERPART is an antitype of a type--a prefigure. In The Great Controversy, p. 25, she called the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70, a PREFIGURE. A PREFIGURE demands an antitypical fulfillment. Then she said that Ezekiel 9 would be literally fulfilled again, beginning at His Sanctuary, the people who had be privileged with great light. We all know who that people are.

The Omega of apostasy involves far more than "mistakes" of the church's leaders. We all make mistakes and are weak. Philadelphia, Zion, the bride of Christ, is with little strength (Rev. 3, Message to Philadelphia), yet she refuses to join any Omega of Apostasy New Movement she was warned never to join.

Did Faithful Jews Separate From the Apostate Jewish Church God Loved?

"The recreant priests added licentiousness to the dark catalogue of their crimes; yet they still polluted by their presence the tabernacle of the Lord, and, laden with sin, dared to come into the presence of a holy God. As the men of Israel witnessed the corrupt course of the priests, they thought it safer for their families not to come up to the appointed place of worship. Many went from Shiloh with their peace disturbed, their indignation aroused, until they at last determined to offer their sacrifices themselves, concluding that this would be fully as acceptable to God, as to sanction in any manner the abominations practiced in the Sanctuary." E.G. White, The Signs of the Times, vol. 1, p. 264, col. 3, December 1, 1881.

The above Ellen White statement may be traced back to the time of Jeremiah's ministry. Notice:

"Jeremiah's call to the prophetic office came about 627 B.C, in the 13th year of Josiah's reign (ch. 1:2 see pp. 18,19; also Vol. 11, p. 77). SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 4, p. 344.

Note Jeremiah 11:15, where he asks the question: "What hath my beloved (bride) to do in mine house (church), seeing she (the church) hath wrough lewdness with many, and the holy flesh (God) is passed (Removed) from thee? When thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest (celebrates).

So faithful members of the first "chosen" church people God loved, were separating and sacrificing (worshipping) at home as early as the sixth century B.C. before the "chosen church was destroyed in 70 A.D. Does Ellen White fault them for such worship? Not at all. In fact she advocated a similar course during the Alpha of Apostasy of the church in her day:

Letter to Elder Haskell:

"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.

Did God love His church in the Alpha of Apostasy? Yes! Did He advocate that it be broken-up into atoms and disorganized. No! Did some faithful worship on their own to avoid the leaven of open sin apostasy? Yes!

When the young men and women were kept away from the Alpha of apostasy in the church, what did they do; where did they meet for worship?

"Brother and sister Haskell have rented a house in one of the best parts of the city, and have gathered round them a family of helpers, who day by day go out giving Bible readings, selling our papers, and doing medical missionary work. During the hour of worship, the workers relate their experiences. Bible studies are regularly conducted in the home, and THE YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN connected with the mission receive a practical, thorough training in holding Bible readings and in selling our publications. The Lord has blessed their labors, a number have embraced the truth, and many others are deeply interested." Review and Herald, September 7, 1905, Evangelism, p. 108.

Was Jesus, Jeremiah, Ellen White and Haskell, Along With True Reformers of Every Age, Pied Pipers?

"Christ was a protestant...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." E.G. White, Review and Herald, vol. 2, 48, col. 2.

Christ and His disciples were personally separating the faithful from the apostate church which He loved, from A.D. 27 to the autumn of A.D. 66, when all true Christians fled to the mountains of Pella, in order to escape the destruction of Jerusalem which came three and one-half years later in A.D. 70. So Jesus was separating His flock from the apostate church that He loved, for 43 years prior to its destruction.

Jesus was also separating the faithful from the apostate Jewish church He loved as early as the days of Jeremiah, in the sixth century B.C.

"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, 232.

Questions:

• Were Ellen White and Elder Hakell Satanic Demon agents for separating some from the church during the Alpha of Apostasy?
• What constitutes the Omega of Apostasy? Hint: Read Selected Messages, Book 1, pp. 193-206. For a synopsis of the Omega, read pp. 204-5.
• Is a New Movement--New Organization that has removed God, "God's commandment-keeping people?
• Is it breaking a serious commandment of God to violate Isaiah 8:9-20, by ecumenical membership in Babylon?
• Is adoption of the Trinity doctrine in 1930, Babylon's "central doctrine," in accord with the truth about the Godhead? Does Babylon know the truth about the Godhead?
• Was it "Demon Spirits" who warned all true Christians to flee apostate Israel in order to avoid its destruction in A.D. 70? Will it be such spirits who warn SDA's in the ANTITYPICAL COUNTERPART fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, beginning at His Sanctuary?
• Is a PREFIGURE TYPE safe to follow?
• Prior to Jerusalem's destruction in A.D. 70, true prophets warned the people to flee to the mountains of Pella. False prophets were telling the people that the enemy would never penetrate the 20 foot thick walls of their city and that it was God's church against which the gates of hell would never prevail. Where were the true prophets--in the apostate church organization, or a group of reformers in an organization led by Christ?
• Ask the average SDA about the Omega of Apostasy. Ask him/her what it is and when it began and ends? Ellen White said that it would occur in the church and wax stronger until Christ comes. So every SDA should know what it involves. So ask your fellow SDAs. This will be a mind-expanding experiment, I guarantee! Ignorance that is bliss and peace and safety will be most apparent.
• Where is the "air of certainty" that the professing SDA church militant will be reduced into splinters? Which independent ministry is teaching this? I know of none! Will someone please inform me of anyone who is so teaching?
• Who is "sadly mistaken?" Consider the definition of pied piper and then make your decision:

  pied piper
  n. A person who offers others strong yet delusive enticements.

  One, such as a leader, who makes irresponsible promises. Source: The American Heritage Dictionary.

  Who are the real "Pied Pipers" piping a false, peace and safety message? The true reformers who warn of the impending antitypical fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, beginning "at His Sanctuary, Jerusalem, the professing SDA church, or folk like Roger Morneau, and some simpleton's who agree with him, who are totally as blind as were most of the Jews in the first manifestation of Ezekiel 9?
