Serious Warnings Ellen White Wanted to
go
to God’s People
The following statements are
serious warnings that Ellen White obviously fully intended to be published to
God’s people.
Great changes after Ellen
White’s death: “I am charged to tell our
people, that do not realize, that the devil has device after device, and he
carries them out in ways that they do not expect. Satan’s agencies will invent ways to make
sinners out of saints. I tell you now, that when I am laid to rest GREAT CHANGES will take
place. I do not know when I shall be taken; and I desire to warn all against the devices of the devil. I want the people to know that I warned them
fully before my death.” E.G. White, Manuscript 1, February 24, 1915.
· Ellen White desired to WARN
ALL about the above statement.
· She warned that the GREAT
CHANGES she was warning us about were DEVICES
OF THE DEVIL.
· She wanted the PEOPLE TO KNOW
that she warned them fully before her death. Why has this warning gone
unpublished by the White Estate?
What are Some of the Great Changes Ellen White
was Trying to Warn us About That Have Proven to be Devices of the Devil?
· "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, Bk. 1, 204, 205.
· "The things you have
described as taking place in Indiana, the Lord has shown me would take place
just before the close of probation. Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated.
There will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing. The senses of rational
beings will become so confused that they cannot be trusted to make right
decisions. And this is called the moving of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit never reveals itself in such
methods, in such a bedlam of noise. This is an invention of Satan to cover up
his ingenious methods for making of none effect the pure, sincere, elevating,
ennobling, sanctifying truth for this time. Better never have the worship of
God blended with music than to use musical instruments to do the work which
last January was represented to me would be brought into our camp meetings. The
truth for this time needs nothing of this kind in its work of converting souls.
A bedlam of noise shocks the senses and pervert that which if conducted aright
might be a blessing. The powers of satanic agencies blend with the din and
noise, to have a carnival, and this is termed the Holy Spirits working." Selected
Messages,
Vol. 2, p. 36.
· "I saw the nominal
church and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to the Catholics to
obtain their influence to come against the truth. The saints then will be an
obscure [hidden] people, little known to the Catholics but the churches and
nominal Adventists who know of our faith and customs (for they hate us on
account of the Sabbath, for they could not refute it) will betray the saints
and report them to the Catholics as those who disregard the institutions of the
people that is, that they keep the Sabbath and disregard Sunday.
Then the Catholics bid the Protestants to go
forward, and issue a decree that all who will not observe the first day of the
week, instead of the seventh day, shall be slain. And the Catholics, whose
numbers are large, will stand by the Protestants. The Catholics will give their
power to the image of the beast. And the Protestants will work as their mother
worked before them to destroy the saints. But before their decree bring or bear
fruit, the saints will be delivered by the Voice of God. Then I saw that Jesus'
work in the sanctuary will soon be finished. And after His work there is
finished, He will come to the door of the first apartment, and confess the sins
of Israel upon the head of the Scape Goat. Then He will put on the garments of
vengeance. Then the plagues will come upon the wicked, and they do not come
till Jesus puts on that garment, and takes Hs place upon the great white cloud.
Then while the plagues are falling, the Scape Goat is being led away. He makes
a mighty struggle to escape, but he is held fast by the hand that leads him. If
he should effect his escape, Israel would lose their lives. I saw that it would
take time to lead away the Scape Goat into the land of forgetfulness after the
sins were put on his head.
The great white cloud I saw was not the holy place,
but entirely separate from the holy and most holy place, entirely separate from
the sanctuary.
Then the angel repeated these words, and said,
'This is the time spoken of in Isaiah. He saw that there was not man, and
wondered that there was no intercessor. He had no mediator between God and man,
and these plagues could be withheld no longer, for Jesus had ceased to plead
for Israel, and they were covered with the covering of the Almighty God, and
they could live in the sight of a holy God, and those who were not covered, the
plagues fell upon them, for they had nothing to shelter or protect them from
the wrath of God." E.G. White, Dorchester, Maine, October 23, 1850,
Spalding--Magan's Unpublished Mss. Testimonies, pp. 1, 2.
· “Let us bear in mind the words
that Christ spoke to the people who were honored above others in being
privileged to have the Lord Jesus Christ to labor among them, and yet who
did not appreciate this privilege, and did not diffuse the light of Heaven to
others. He said: "Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe
unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which
were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would have repeated long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre
and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art
exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell; for if the mighty works,
which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained
until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be
more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for
thee." {RH, December 3, 1895 par. 6}
· "And thou, Capernaum [Seventh-day Adventists, who have had great light], which art exalted unto heaven
[in point of privilege], shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty
works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have
remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it
shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, than for
thee." E.G. White, Review and Herald Articles, vol. 3, p. 69, col.
3. This quote is just as it appears in
the Review article, BRACKETS AND ALL.
· 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.

to understand why this statement is an “unpublished” statement!]
“I am charged to tell our people
that some do not realize that the devil has device after device that he carries
out in ways that make sinners out of saints. I tell you now, that when I am
laid to rest great changes will take place.” Elmshaven, February 24, 1915. Unpublished testimony of Ellen
G. White. February 24, 1915.
· The above statement does not appear
at the Ellen G. White Complete Works at this link: https://egwwritings.org/
It is an unpublished statement, but it should be
published by the White Estate, because Ellen White clearly says in the
statement that it is a warning to all against the devices of the devil. She
further said: “I
want the people to know that I warned them fully before my death.” The White
Estate will suffer the consequences of sitting in the gate deciding what the
people should and should not have, especially when Ellen White clearly wanted
this warning to go to the people. The statement appears in the works of the following SDA Ministers:
Robert J. Wieland and Donald K. Shorts 1888 Re-Examined, and the following work
by Vance Ferrell:

When it seemed to Ellen White that no one would do anything to resolve the crisis
... But the lesson is disturbing: the repeated warnings given since 1888 had failed to ....
I tell you now, that when I am laid to rest, great changes will take place.
It
would be extremely naïve of anyone to think that there have not been many such
warning statements omitted from publication. In The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials alone, you will come across many
dot, dot, dot (elipses) marks in portions that are
obviously very controversial. The same
thing occurs when reading much of the published writings by Ellen White. This
is one of the major reasons VENGEANCE is executed in the very courts of the
Temple, the church, because the leaders, rather than the Spirit of Prophecy,
have decided what the people should and should not have:
"In the very courts of the temple [the SDA church], scenes will be enacted that few realize.
God's people will be proved and tested, that He may discern 'between him that
serveth God and him that serveth Him not.' Vengeance will
be executed against those who sit in the gate, deciding what the people should
have and what they should not have. These take away the key of knowledge. They refuse to enter in themselves, and those who
would enter in they hinder. These bear not the seal of the living God. All who
now occupy responsible positions should be solemnly and terribly afraid lest in
this time they shall be found as unfaithful stewards." E.G. White,
Manuscript 15, 1886, Paulson Collection, p. 55.
“Christ foretold the destruction
of Jerusalem, as well as of the temple. His words
were spoken in the hearing of a large number of people; but when He was again
alone, Peter, James, John, and Andrew came to Him, saying, “Tell us, when shall
these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy
coming, and of the end of the world?
Jesus did not answer His
disciples by taking up separately the destruction of Jerusalem, and the last
great day of His coming. The city of Jerusalem represented the world, and the
utterances regarding its destruction are to be connected with the world’s more terrible
destruction. In speaking of Jerusalem, His prophetic words reached beyond that
event to the conflagration that will take place in that day when the Lord shall
rise “out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their
iniquity.” The description of the two events is mingled, and the entire subject
is a warning to those who shall live in the last scenes of earth’s
history....The events that took place at the overthrow of Jerusalem will be
repeated.” {ST February 20, 1901}
Where the Destruction Begins
"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, 1909,
pp. 2, 3, 5, 7. (To "The churches in Oakland and
Berkeley, September 26, 1909.)" E. G. White
Manuscript Releases Volume One, p.
260.
“The time will soon come when the prophecy of Ezekiel
9 will be fulfilled; that prophecy should be carefully studied, for it will be
fulfilled to the very letter.”— Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, p.
1303.
The
Signs of the Times, February 12, 1880: “The desolation of
Jerusalem stands as a solemn warning before the eyes of modern Israel.”
“The desolation of Jerusalem in the days of
Jeremiah is a solemn warning to modern Israel, that the counsels and
admonitions given them through chosen instrumentalities cannot be disregarded
with impunity.” Prophets and
Kings, 416.
"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 for the Church, vol. 5, p.
211.
PROLEPSIS PROPHETIC STATEMENT:
Here
is the Spirit of Prophecy prophesied prolepsis statement regarding the final
fate of that once Noble Ship. This is a major LYNCHPIN to my warning message.
Can you explain it away? Are you a passenger on this once NOBLE SHIP, that is
about to sink to rise no more? NOTICE WHO SEPARATES FROM WHOM:
"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].
Note these important delineations in
the above statement:
·
Ellen
White is addressing HIS PEOPLE.
·
Ellen
White is addressing those to whom God committed the EVERLASTING GOSPEL of
Revelation 14.
·
Ellen
White is defining the angel represented in prophecy as symbolizing a class of
faithful men.
·
Ellen
White is saying emphatically that the final Loud Cry message is delivered NOT
BY THE LEADERS OF THE SDA CHURCH, but by a class of faithful men, because
the leaders had failed to preserve their connection with God and had refused
light from heaven!
·
Ellen
White is addressing "watchmen upon the walls of Zion," NOT FALLEN
BABYLON!
·
Twice
Ellen White mentions HIS CHURCH, NOT FALLEN BABYLON.
·
It is the MEMBERS of
said church that SEPARATE FROM GOD, AND THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO SEPARATE FROM
THEM OR BE CORPORATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR APOSTASY.
·
The above reasons
are why there is another coming out of a faithful remnant FROM APOSTATE
JERUSALEM AS WELL AS FALLEN BABYLON.
·
Isa 37:31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house
of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
·
Isa 37:32 For out of
Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the
zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
Ellen White is addressing a BACKSLIDING CHURCH
whose leaders and laity alike failed and rejected light from heaven and
who refused to comply with the conditions so that God's promises are not
fulfilled to them. Consider the following commentary on the 1884 Great
Controversy that the above statement is quoted from:
“Consider for a few moments the chapter in the
first edition of Great Controversy, Volume IV, published by Pacific
Press in 1884. In Chapter XXVII, ‘The Snares of Satan,’ you find that about
four pages in the latter part of the chapter were omitted from the later
editions of Great Controversy. These four pages are to be found in
Testimonies to Ministers, pages 472 to 475. The information contained in these
four pages is very valuable to Seventh-day Adventists and was very
appropriately included in the first edition of Great Controversy, Volume IV,
which when it was published was like the other volumes considered to be A
MESSAGE ESPECIALLY TO SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, and to [all] Christian people
sympathizing with them in beliefs and aims.” W. C. White,
Selected Messages, Appendix C, pp. 452, 453.
