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}

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. White Manuscript Releases Volume 3, 40, 41.

“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!”
