My Vision on Why Ellen White Would be
Forced to Leave
The SDA Church Today
Part
1
Part 2 https://omega77.tripod.com/myvisionwhyellenwhiteremainedpt2.htm
In the night season of March 15, 2018, I was
taken in vision and given answers to questions I had previously posed to the
Lord by way of deep supplication and prayer. The issues that I received an
answer to had been lurking in the recesses of my mind for some time, but had
been forced to the fore by the Holy Spirit in recent times. This vision
involves the gravest issues besetting the professing Seventh-day Adventist
church since that church formed a new movement, new organization, that removed
God, and pillar doctrines. In fasting and persevering prayer, I asked the Lord
for answers to the following questions, and He graciously gave me sufficient
and all convincing answers for any sincere believer.
1. In as much as Ellen White
clearly stated that the SDA church was idolaters, and worse in the sight of
God, than the heathen, graven-image worshippers (Catholics) who have no
knowledge of a better way, why did she remain a member of such a church?
2. In as much as Ellen
White said that Adventists were imbibing the same disobedience and failure of
the Jews, but to even a greater degree, why did she remain a member of the SDA
church?
3. In light of the fact
that Ellen White called the church Laodicean as early as 1852, and said that the
Laodicean state is the foolish virgins state of the church, why did she still
remain with the church?
4. What would the
professing Seventh-day Adventist church have had to do in order that Ellen G.
White would have been forced to resign as a member of that church?
5. When does a professing
church commit the unpardonable sin, so that sincere members must leave lest
they be held corporately responsible for said sins?
6. Why are SDA ministers
and intra-church “reformers” saying that the church is not in apostasy? What
constitutes apostasy of God’s church?
7. What is the point at
which true reformers should leave an apostate church lest they be corporately
responsible for the apostasy?
8. Why are apparent
intra-church reformers like Doug Batchelor and Professor Walter Veith, advising
God’s people to remain at the apostate church?
9. Does Isaiah 37:31, 31
apply at the end-time spiritual Jerusalem church, the professing SDA church
militant (wheat & tare co-ed church)?
10. Do faithful followers
leave apostate Adventism, as the faithful Jews left the apostate Jewish
organization per Isaiah 37:31, 32, to form home churches?
11. Who will lead out in
the giving of the final Midnight Cry of Matthew 25? Does God need the formal
SDA church to give the final Loud Cry?
12. When will Ezekiel 9 be
manifest upon professing Seventh-day Adventists?
Below are a sampling of the statements I
addressed when supplicating the Lord for His answers to the above questions.
Worse than Babylon -- "God's professed people
are selfish and self-caring....They are idolaters, and are worse, in the sight
of God, than the heathen, graven-image worshippers who have had no knowledge of
a better way."
Testimonies, Vol. 2, 440-442.
Testimonies, Vol. 2, pp. 440-442, were
written in 1870, as you can see in the flyleaf of the book. The church was
first referred to by Ellen White as Laodicean, in 1852.
History repeats itself. “The thing that has been, it is
that which shall be: and that which is done is that which shall be done: and
there is no new thing under the sun.” (Ecc. 1:9). In other words, “The important movements of the present
have their parallel in those of the past.” (G.C. 343).
That the Advent Movement is an important movement of the
present no one can deny and it has its parallel in the history of Ancient
Israel:
“The remnant church is called to go through an experience
similar to that of the Jews.” (1 SM, 387).
Not one of us can afford to ignore the following
warnings:
“The trials
of the children of Israel, and their attitude just before the first coming of
Christ, have been presented before me, again and again, to ILLUSTRATE the
position of the people of God in their experience before the second coming of
Christ—how the enemy sought every occasion to take control of
the minds of the Jews, and today her is seeking to blind the minds of God’s
servants, that they may not be able to discern the Precious Truth.” (1 SM, 406;
2 Cor 4:4). The “precious truth” mentioned here is the light sent to the
Seventh-day Adventists in 1888.
"I have been shown that
the spirit of the world is fast leavening the church. You are following the same path as did ancient Israel.
There is the same falling away from your holy calling as God's peculiar people.
You are having fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. Your concord
with unbelievers have provoked he Lord's displeasure. You know not the things
that belong to your peace, and they are fast being hid from your eyes. [The
very words applied to fallen Israel on page 17 of The Great Controversy] Your
neglect to follow the light will place you in a more unfavorable position than
the Jews upon whom Christ pronounced a woe." Testimonies, Vol. 5,
pp. 75-76.
"Like ancient Israel, the
church has dishonored her God by departing from the light, neglecting her
duties, and abusing her high and exalted privilege of being peculiar and holy
in character. Her members have violated their covenant to live for God and him
only. They have joined with the selfish and world-loving. Pride, the love of
pleasure, and sin have been cherished, and CHRIST HAS DEPARTED. His Spirit has
been quenched in the church. Satan works side by side with professed Christians
yet they are so destitute of spiritual discernment that they do not detect
him." E.G. White, Testimonies, Vol. 2, pp. 441-442.
"Among the professed followers of Christ,
there is the same pride, formalism, vainglory, selfishness, and OPPRESSION,
that existed in the Jewish nation." E.G. White, Sketches from
the Life of Paul, 251-252.
Worse than Babylon -- "God's professed people are
selfish and self-caring....They are idolaters, and are worse, in the sight of
God, than the heathen, graven-image worshippers who have had no knowledge of a
better way." Testimonies, Vol. 2, 440-442.
“The same disobedience and failure which were seen in
the Jewish church have characterized in a greater
degree
the people who have had this great light from heaven in the last messages of
warning.” Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 456.
History
repeats itself. “The thing that has been, it is that which shall be: and that
which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the
sun.” (Ecc. 1:9). In other words, “The important movements of the present have their
parallel in those of the past.”
(G.C. 343).
“The trials of the children of Israel, and
their attitude just before the first coming of Christ, have been presented
before me, again and again, to ILLUSTRATE the position of the people of God in
their experience before the second coming of Christ—how the enemy sought every occasion to take control of
the minds of the Jews, and today her is seeking to blind the minds of God’s
servants, that they may not be able to discern the Precious Truth.” (1 SM, 406;
2 Cor 4:4). The “precious truth” mentioned here is the light sent to the
Seventh-day Adventists in 1888.
"I have been shown that the spirit of the
world is fast leavening the church. You are following the same
path as did ancient Israel. There is the same falling away from your holy
calling as God's peculiar people. You are having fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness. Your concord with unbelievers have provoked he Lord's
displeasure. You
know not the things that belong to your peace, and they are fast being hid from
your eyes. [The very words applied to fallen Israel on page 17 of The Great
Controversy]
Your neglect to follow the light will place you in a more
unfavorable position than the Jews upon whom Christ pronounced a woe." Testimonies, Vol. 5,
pp. 75-76.
"Like ancient Israel, the church has
dishonored her God by departing from the light, neglecting her duties, and
abusing her high and exalted privilege of being peculiar and holy in character.
Her members have violated their covenant to live for God and him only. They have joined with the selfish and world-loving. Pride, the love of
pleasure, and sin have been cherished, and CHRIST HAS DEPARTED. His Spirit has been quenched
in the church. Satan works side by side with professed Christians yet they are so destitute of spiritual discernment that they do not
detect him." E.G. White, Testimonies, Vol. 2, pp. 441-442.
"Among the professed followers of Christ,
there is the same pride, formalism, vainglory, selfishness, and OPPRESSION,
that existed in the Jewish nation." E.G. White, Sketches from the Life of
Paul, 251-252.
“Then
I was pointed back to the years 1843 and 1844. There was a spirit of
consecration then that there is not now. What has come over the professed
peculiar people of God? I saw the conformity to the world, the unwillingness to
suffer for the truth's sake. I saw a great lack of submission to the will of
God…
I saw that many who profess to believe the truth for these last days think it
strange that the children of Israel murmured as they journeyed; that after the
wonderful dealings of God with them, they should be so ungrateful as to forget
what He had done for them. Said the angel: "Ye have done worse than they." Testimonies for the
Church, Vol. 1, pp. 128, 129.
“I was
shown the conformity of some professed Sabbathkeepers to the world. Oh, I saw
that it is a disgrace to their profession, a disgrace to the cause of God. They
give the lie to their profession. They think they are not like the world, but
they are so near like them in dress, in conversation, and actions, that there
is no distinction…” “As I saw the dreadful fact that God's people were
conformed to the world, with no
distinction, except in name, between many of the professed disciples of the
meek and lowly Jesus and unbelievers, my soul felt deep anguish. I saw that
Jesus was wounded and put to an open shame. Said the angel, as with sorrow he
saw the professed people of God loving the world, partaking of its spirit, and
following its fashions: "Cut loose! Cut loose! lest He appoint you your
portion with hypocrites and unbelievers outside the city. Your profession will
only cause you greater anguish, and your punishment will be greater because ye
knew His will, but did it not." Testimonies
for the Church, Vol 1, p. 131, 133.
The above statement was penned in
1856. See the flyleaf of Vol. 1 of the Testimonies for the date.
Before I relate the answers I was
given to my questions, I must give some more insight into the true and false
church that you may better understand the verity of the answers I received.
The True
and the False SDA Church Defined
“From the beginning, faithful souls have
constituted the church on earth. In
every age the Lord has had His watchmen, who have borne a faithful testimony to
the generation in which they lived.
These sentinels gave the message of warning; and when they were called
to lay off their armor, others took up the work. God brought these witnesses into covenant
relation with Himself, uniting the church on earth with the church in
heaven. He has sent forth His angels to
minister to His church, and the gates of hell have not been able to prevail
against His people.” E.G. White, Acts
of the Apostles, p. 11, 12.
“I was shown that those who
are trying to obey God and purifying their souls through obedience to the truth
are God’s chosen people, His modern Israel”. 2T-109.
“There is no other church than the assembly of those who have the
word of God, and who are purified by it. Adventists,
seeing that the churches rejected the testimony of God’s word, could no longer
regard them as constituting the church of Christ.” 4 SP-237.
“God has
a church. It is not the great cathedrals, 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’. Matthew 18:20. 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, 315.
Who and What is The Church? The Church is, “those who
are trying to obey God and purifying their souls through obedience to the
truth”, “those who have the word of God, and who are purified by
it”, “the
people who love God and keep His commandments.”
"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."
E.G. White, Notebook Leaflets, p. 99, 1898.
"To the end of time, the presence of the Spirit is to abide
with the true church."
E.G. White, Acts of the Apostles, p. 55.
“From the beginning, faithful souls have constituted the church on earth. In every age the Lord has had His watchmen, who
have borne a faithful testimony to the generation in which they lived. These sentinels gave the message of warning;
and when they were called to lay off their armor, others took up the work. God brought these witnesses into covenant
relation with Himself, uniting the church on earth with the church in
heaven. He has sent forth His angels to
minister to His church, and the
gates of hell have not been able to prevail against His people.” E.G. White, The Acts of the Apostles, p. 12.
No
Discouraging Message for the Church—"We have no discouraging message for the church.
Although reproofs and cautions and corrections have been made, yet the church
has stood as God's instrumentality to diffuse light. The commandment-keeping
people of God have sounded forth a warning to the world, to all languages,
tongues, and kindreds. The church of God is a living witness, a continual
testimony, to convince men if accepted, to condemn them if resisted and
rejected” (Manuscript 96, 1893). 7BC 967.2
Of course, there is no
discouraging message for the true church. But a once church that has removed
God, is no longer the church, for there are only two masters—Christ and Satan.
When God is removed (1SM 205), by a new movement, new organization, the church
becomes what Jesus called the apostate Jewish Temple—the Synagogue of Satan.
"The members of the church triumphant--the
church in heaven--will be permitted to draw near to the members of the church
militant, to aid them in their necessity." E. G. White, The Southern
Watchman,
Sep. 8, 1903.
It will be seen from the following statement that
True Reformers are the earthly representatives of the heavenly church spoken of
in Hebrews 12:22, 23, and The Great Controversy, p. 426, 427, where the
bride, New Jerusalem, is mentioned as the earth’s representative of the Kingdom
of heaven.
"Characteristics of True
Reformers.--Here are given the characteristics of those who shall be reformers,
who will bear the banner of the third angel's message, those who avow
themselves God's commandment-keeping people, and who honor God, and are
earnestly engaged, in the sight of all the universe, in building up the old
waste places. Who is it that calls them, The repairers of the breach, The
restorers of paths to dwell in? It is God. Their names are registered [written--Heb. 12:22, 23] in heaven as reformers, restorers,
as raising the foundations of many generations." E. G. White, SDA Bible Commentary, Vol. 4, 1151, & Review and Herald,
Oct. 13, 1891.
Was Ellen
White Aware That There Might be the Necessity of Another Coming Out?
“I was confirmed in all I had stated in
Minneapolis, that a reformation must go through the churches. Reforms must be
made, for spiritual weakness and blindness were upon the people who had been
blessed with great light and precious opportunities and privileges. As
reformers they had come out of the denominational churches, but they now act a
part similar to that which the churches acted. We hoped that there would not be the necessity for
another coming out.
While we will endeavor to keep the "unity of the Spirit" in the bonds
of peace, we will not with pen or voice cease to protest against bigotry.”—EGW
'88 356, 357 (1889). {LDE 48.1}
The
Answers to my Questions Which God Gave to me in Vision
QUESTION 1. In as much as Ellen White
clearly stated that the SDA church was idolaters, and worse in the sight of
God, than the heathen, graven-image worshippers (Catholics) who have no knowledge
of a better way, why did she remain a member of such a church?
ANSWERS: The Lord showed me that at the
time Ellen White said that the church was regarded as worse than idolaters and
heathen, graven-image worshippers (Catholics) who had no knowledge of a better
way, it was because the “chosen remnant” had lapsed into a lukewarm, Laodicean
state, in light of the advanced truths it had received from the Spirit of
Prophecy. I was shown that when the statement in question was written, the
church was not in open sin apostasy, but the sincerity of the general
membership of the church had waned into a state of lukewarmness as early as
1852, and even more so by the date of the statement in question which was 1870.
Church Became
Laodicean in the 1850’s
The seeds of lukewarmness were sown early in that
first generation. Writing in the 1850’s the Servant of the Lord penned the
following solemn warning.
“Dear Brethren and Sisters: The Lord has shown me
in vision some things concerning the church in its present lukewarm state,
which I will relate to you. The church was presented before me in vision. Said
the angel to the church: “Jesus speaks to thee, ‘Be zealous and repent.’” This
work, I saw, should be taken hold of in earnest. There is something to repent
of. Worldly-mindedness, selfishness, and covetousness have been eating out the
spirituality and life of God’s people.” IT 141.
The above statement was written in 1857.
I was shown that as the Laodicean message
testifies, there is hope for backslidden lukewarm members, because they are
proffered the privilege of repenting and buying gold tried in the fire, faith
in, and love for Christ, which will move them out of the Laodicean state, to
wit:
“No longer remain in the condition
of the Laodicean church. In the name of the Lord I call upon every family to
show its true colors. Reform the church in your own home.” Testimonies for the Church 7:66, 67 {CCh 196.1}
What is the CONDITION of the Laodicean
Church?
· Laodiceans are fence sitters. They are neither hot or
cold. They are lukewarm.
· At the time Ellen White wrote the statement that the
people of God were worse than the heathen, she also described them as still
being Laodicean.
· The reason Ellen White classed the people of God, the
Laodiceans as worse than the heathen, is because of their lukewarm stance in
light of the fact that they had received advanced light via the gift of the
Spirit of Prophecy that was amongst them.
· The point at which the church ceased to be lukewarm, and
became COLD APOSTATE, was the mid-1950’s when it’s leaders agreed with Dr.
Walter Martin, that Christ did not come in sinful flesh.
· According to the Bible, all who do not believe that God
sent His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh are antichrist.
· 2Jo 1:7 For many
deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This
is a deceiver and an antichrist.
· SDA leaders agreed with Dr. Walter Martin that Christ did
not come in sinful flesh, when Jesus did come in sinful flesh. The church began
to teach that Christ did not come with the flesh of Adam before he sinned, or
the flesh of Adam after he sinned. After Adam sinned, he had sinful flesh. That
is the flesh Christ came in. All who deny that Christ came in the sinful flesh
of Adam, are antichrist. So in the mid-1950’s, the SDA church took an apostate,
antichrist position on the human nature of Jesus Christ. And since that time,
there have been all manner of books of a new order trying to convince SDA’s
that Christ was/is not like us; that He did not come in sinful flesh. Ellen
White and the Bible say He did.
· Rom 8:3 For what the law
could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh,
and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
· To teach the antichrist position that Christ did not come
in sinful flesh, is a COLD APOSTATE STANCE. Thus, this was when the church
ceased to be lukewarm Laodicean, and began to teach in common with the
Synagogue of Satan.
· This antichrist position became official in the 1980 Fundamentals of Belief, by being voted
in at the World General Conference Session.
Additional Factors as Answers I was Shown to Question 1
In Christ’s
Object Lessons, pp. 70-72, it is evident that tares are insincere believers
whose motives one would have to JUDGE in order to uproot them. We are never to
JUDGE motives. I was shown that it is the same situation with Laodiceans. They
are fence-sitters, and we would have to judge their motives in order to
separate from them or to separate them from the church. We can judge the
general condition of such a church, but we can’t judge individuals because we
don’t know at what stage they are at in their Christian experience. Though it
is a true assessment that Laodiceans are worse than heathen, graven image
idolaters because of their insincerity which results in lukewarmness, we cannot
judge individuals because we don’t know the stage of their walk with God. That
is why there is no sanction in leaving a Laodicean church. That is why Ellen
White never left. She met apostasy head on, as she did in the case of John
Kellogg involving the Alpha heresy.
However, Ellen White said that the omega would
surely come in the form of a new movement, new organization, that would remove
God and pillar doctrines. 1SM 204-205. This is what constitutes OPEN SIN
APOSTASY. We can JUDGE such open sin, as all Adventists do JUDGE when they
choose Adventism over the other churches, and pronounce them as being Babylon.
We can JUDGE according to Isaiah 8:20.
Ellen White clearly stated that open sin must
be separated from the church, to wit:
“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.” Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 71.
If we attempted to JUDGE and UPROOT anyone on
the basis of their sincerity, we would be errant, because we don’t know the
heart. Only Christ is the Judge in such cases. But we are to JUDGE open sin by
the commandments of God and His Word. Every Adventist makes this JUDGMENT, by
the fact that he/she is an Adventist rather than being of some other
persuasion.
WHAT
TO DO WHEN SIN CANNOT BE SEPARATED FROM THE CHURCH BECAUSE THE LEADERS ARE THE
CULPRITS
“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.” Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 71.
When a new movement, new organization was
formed by the leaders, who removed pillar doctrines on the human nature of
Christ and the Godhead, and embraced ecumenism in violation of the second
angel’s message, and lately welcomed the LGBT movement into even leadership
positions, we can’t remove those apostate leaders. Ellen White said that “Nothing
would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement.” 1SM 205.
When we can’t remove the apostate leaders, we
must leave for the following Biblical reasons:
·
Lest we be held corporately responsible for the abominations of
apostasy.
·
Lest it be IMPOSSIBLE that we become/remain pure and ripen for
the harvest.
·
Lest we be slaughtered with all who would not leave at the Bible
and SOP waymarks given by God’s Word and His appointed messengers.
"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.
Some
say that they are going to remain and change things. Is that what Christ did?
Does His Word say that is impossible? Did Ellen White say that the new movement
would allow NOTHING to stand in its way? Who is so arrogant that they think
they are going to change things at the apostate church. Such persons directly
contradict God’s Word, the SOP, and the example of Jesus Christ.
The
Corporate Responsibility Factor
I have listened to many videos by Batchelor
and Veith, but have NEVER ONCE heard either of them, or any other SDA minister,
teach corporate responsibility for the abominable apostacies of the church. I
have never heard either of them quote the following statements:
"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.
Thorns
are OPEN SINNERS. Tares are not OPEN SINNERS. They are insincere types whose motives
we would have to judge in order to expel or pull them up from the wheat. But
the thorns are quite another issue, and when they spring up, if they are not
either reformed or expelled from the church, it is impossible for the wheat to
mature. So what must the wheat do in order to mature? Leave the thorns. This is
precisely what Jesus and His disciples did, Desire
of Ages, 232, as
follows:
"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.
·
Jesus “gathered out”
those who should carry the gospel to all nations.
·
God has shown me in
vision more than once that the responses of Jesus and the disciples from A.D.
27-66, are a PREFIGURE TYPE for us to follow, for all such responses are
relative to the reasons why Ezekiel 9 was literally fulfilled upon the Jews in
A.D. 70.
·
The Spirit of
Prophecy is telling you that IN EVERY SUCCEEDING GENERATION, True Reformers
have left the churches of their fathers FOR ONE REASON: “The religious leaders
would not tolerate light.”
·
Mrs. White is saying
that in our day there should be more reformers who are actuated by the spirit
of the true reformers who left the churches of their fathers because they would
not tolerate light.
·
Apostate SDA leaders
today reject light. They TOTALLY reject the fact that the church is in
apostasy. They reject the light that the good leave that church before it is
destroyed by a literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9. They teach the exact opposite,
that the bad are shaken out of that church WHICH THEY MISREPRESENT AS ZION.
·
Ellen White says the
true church remains while sinners are shaken out of Zion. Zion is NOT the
church militant. Zion is the church triumphant bride of Christ, that is
married. Isaiah 62:1-5.
·
Zion gives the Loud
Cry, Isaiah 62:1-12.
Isa 62:10 Go
through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather
out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
Isa 62:11 Behold,
the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy
salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Isa 62:12 And
they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt
be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.
·
Verse 11 above is a
paraphrase of the Midnight Cry: Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet
Him. Matthew 25 and COL, pp. 405-406.
All SDA leaders, including Batchelor and
Veith, teach that you must remain in the apostate SDA church until the bad are
shaken out, when that will never happen because the dross/tares/thorns are
shaken into the midsts of what was supposed to be spiritua/chosenl Jerusalem, the SDA church, exactly as the
dross/chaff was shaken into the midsts of the Jerusalem apostate church in the
PREFIGURE literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, Ezekiel 22:17-31. This passage is
so gravely serious, and totally contrary to the lie that is being taught as to
who leaves whom, that I am going to quote if for you below:
Eze 22:17
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 22:18
Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are
brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even
the dross of silver.
Eze 22:19
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross,
behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
Eze 22:20
As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the
midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather
you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt
you.
Eze 22:21
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and
ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
Eze 22:22
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted
in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury
upon you.
Eze 22:23
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 22:24
Son of man, say unto
her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of
indignation.
Eze 22:25
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a
roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the
treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst
thereof.
Eze 22:26
Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things:
they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they
shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes
from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Eze 22:27
Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to
shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
Eze 22:28
And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity,
and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD
hath not spoken.
Eze 22:29
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and
have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger
wrongfully.
Eze 22:30
And I sought for a
man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me
for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
Eze 22:31
Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed
them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their
heads, saith the Lord GOD.
After the disciples had gathered out all the
faithful into home churches, verse 30 was true. There was not ONE MAN left in
Jerusalem who would make up the hedge and stand in the gap for God. And the
destruction ensued. Verse 24 says that the apostate church IS NOT CLEANSED, nor
does any Holy Spirit RAIN fall upon it in the upcoming day of indignation.
Compare Revelation 14:10-12.
No SDA Leader will teach you the following
EXAMPLE set by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and His faithful followers:
"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.
Christ, as our example of Protestantism, left:
"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.
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.
SDA leaders quote Ellen
White on how we should be like Daniel and Moses, but they don’t quote the
following example of Daniel and Moses!
"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.
The words “makes you ONE
WITH THEM,” shout the principle of corporate responsibility!

Ellen White on Home
Churches in the Alpha of Apostasy:
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?
"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.
"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.
Doug and Walter say DON’T
LEAVE, NEVER LEAVE! How many times have you heard the saying that Ellen White
never told anyone to leave? That is a lie as the following statements prove. I
have stated them before, but read them together for the full impact:
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

There are men like Doug Batchelor and Walter
Veith, who refer to Ellen White’s statement instructing us to be like Moses in
our response to the church, but if you will read all the accounts of Moses in
dealing with apostasy, he removed the Tabernacle from the camp until the
apostasy was removed. He had the apostates killed. In one instance, he ordered
the killing of 3000 apostates. Since the time of Christ, apostate leaders have
not been killed by the faithful. God has appointed that their enemies will kill
them, not the faithful, who will not kill anyone. In the prefigure of A.D. 70,
it was the enemies of the Jews, the Romans, who killed them in the first
literal manifestation of Ezekiel 9.
Walter Veith’s instruction is to buy a large
bottle of super-glue and glue yourself to a pew—STAY WITH THE CHURCH NO MATTER
WHAT! He also says that if you think the church stinks, clip a cloths pin on
your nose. He says the ark stank as well. That gets him a good laugh, but he
and his compatriots won’t be laughing when another literal fulfillment of
Ezekiel 9 falls upon the church.
Ellen White said in The Great Controversy, p. 25, in describing the A.D. 70 destruction
of Jerusalem, that it was a PREFIGURE of the terrors of the last great day.
Then, on page 211 of Testimonies,
Vol. 5, she says that it begins at His Church, His Sanctuary, the House of Jacob,
where men, maidens and little children will perish without mercy. That will be
the inevitable fate of all who follow the instruction of intra-church
“reformers” like Batchelor and Veith.
Though the SDA
Bible Commentary says that the sieges by Nebuchadnezzar fulfilled Ezekiel
9, that is not true for the reason that the 490 years probation of the Jews did
not end until A.D. 34, and God would not let Ezekiel 9 materialize before His
people were tested and SEALED BY THE MARK OF THE MAN IN LINEN. That seal did
not take place until the Day of Pentecost, A. D 34.
Ellen White says Ezekiel 9 will be literally
fulfilled again, to wit:
"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.
I was shown that although Ellen White saw all
the signs of the church becoming a flirting harlot (see 8T 250), those signs
constituted “playing the harlot.” But the unpardonable sin of actually marrying
into Satan’s system does not occur until such time as a church dispenses with
pillar doctrines such as the Godhead, and the human nature of Christ, which
means everything to us said Ellen White, and accepts Satan’s counterfeit.
Ellen White said that everything clusters
around what one believes about the human nature of Christ and the Godhead,
which, of course, is an integral part of the human nature of Christ’s
personage. I was shown that Ellen White could not be a member of a church that
denies the very Incarnation act, by teaching the Trinity Doctrine which teaches
that there were THRE CO-ETERNAL PERSONS. That means there were three persons to
the Godhead before the Incarnation sacrifice, which produced the THIRD
NON-ETERNAL PERSON, THE HUMANITY OF CHRIST.
QUESTION 2. In as much as Ellen White said
that Adventists were imbibing the same disobedience and failure of the Jews,
but to even a greater degree, why did she remain a member of the SDA church?
Answers: Ellen White was vigilantly and vigorously able to keep open sin apostasy
out of the church, and her war against Kellogg in the Alpha heresy is a good
example of how she MET APOSTASY HEAD ON. But Ellen White said the Omega would
surely come, and come it did. She saw great changes after her death. And we have
seen GREAT CHANGES. There
was no open sin apostasy in the church in Ellen White’s day, and that is why
she did not leave.
QUESTION 3. In light of the fact that Ellen White called the church Laodicean as early
as 1852, and said that the Laodicean state is the foolish virgins state of the
church, why did she still remain with the church?
ANSWER: I have given the
answer to this question. Laodicea must advance into COLD APOSTASY before her
members should leave her. I will herein give more examples of such apostasy.
Further Antichrist Apostasy at the 1980
General Conference Session
The ecumenical meetings
with Dr. Walter Martin and Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse, in the mid-1950-s,
resulted in the threat by Dr. Martin to brand the SDA church a cult in his forthcoming
book entitled Kingdom of the Cults,
if the church did not cede to certain beliefs of the Evangelicals IN ADDITION
TO THEIR ANTICHRIST VIEWS ON THE HUMAN NATURE OF CHRIST. They prodded SDA
leaders with the chidings that if they were real Christians they would join the
ecumenical associations, councils/counsels, girdings, and confederacies
associated with the World Council of Churches, such as National Councils of
Churches, etc., which are all subsidiaries of the World Council of Churches.
The SDA church proceeded
to “PROVE” it’s “real Christian” qualification by doing the bidding of Dr.’s
Martin and Barnhouse. In 1986, I wrote to The
World Council of Churches and requested 12 copies of its Directory Christian Councils, which
listed all MEMBERS and ASSOCIATE MEMBERS of the WCC. That directory lists the
SDA church as FULL MEMBERS in five countries of the world, and ASSOCIATE
MEMBERS in some other countries. At the time, there were many letters
circulating by true reformers who had written to the National Council of the
Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., asking if the SDA church was a member. In
every case, the NCCU.S.A. replied: YES. Since that time, the church has
vacillated between being listed on the NCCU.S.A. ROSTER, and having their name
not listed. At time when it was indeed listed, I posted a link to the roster on
my website.
After joining the
councils associated with the WCC, that council (confederacy of churches) has
put pressure on the SDA church to accede to its positions on serious issues such
as women’s ordination, and the LGBT Movement. The Reader’s Digest wrote
articles on the WCC, proving its communist orientation, and how it was designed
to destroy the Christian religion, in favor of a Marxist, Socialist, ONE WORLD
RELIGION:
1) http://www.pravoslavieto.com/docs/eng/gospel_accord_marx.htm
2) https://www.questia.com/magazine/1G1-13405361/reader-s-digest-attacks-wcc-again
So Dr. Walter Martin did
the “softening up,” and the WCC has done the rest to lead the SDA church into
Satan’s Synagogue. Such
confederacy is strictly forbidden in Isaiah 8:9-16, and the Second Angels Message.
The Isaiah reference says that all who commit this act will be “BROKEN IN
PIECES,” and this refers directly to the Ezekiel 9 slaughter, for the margin
reference for slaughter weapons in Ezekiel 9:2 (KJV), is: “a weapon of his
weapon of breaking in pieces.” Ecumenical confederacy with Babylon is a prime
reason for a literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9 upon the apostate SDA church, per
Ezekiel 9 and Ellen G. White.
Why is it that we NEVER
hear SDA leaders, and even pseudo reformer leaders like Doug Batchelor and Dr.
Walter Veith, teach the following statements:
"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.
"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.
“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.
“The mark of deliverance has been set upon those
"that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done." Now
the angel of death goes forth, represented in Ezekiel's vision by the men with
the slaughtering weapons, to whom the command is given: "Slay utterly old
and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any
man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary." Says the prophet:
"They began at the ancient men which were before the house." Ezekiel
9:1-6. The work of destruction
begins among those who have professed to be the spiritual guardians of the
people. The false watchmen are the first to fall. There are none to pity or to
spare. Men, women, maidens, and little children perish together. {GC
656.2}
“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. Their love for purity and the
honor and glory of God is such, and they have so clear a view of the exceeding
sinfulness of sin, that they are represented as being in agony, even sighing
and crying. Read the ninth
chapter of Ezekiel. {3T 267.1}
But the general slaughter
of all those who do not thus see the wide contrast between sin and
righteousness, and do not feel as those do who stand in the counsel of God and
receive the mark, is described in the order to the five men with slaughter
weapons: “Go ye after him
through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: slay
utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not
near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary.” {3T
267.2}
“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.
‘But the general slaughter of all those who do not thus see the wide
contrast between sin and righteousness, and do not feel as those do who stand
in the counsel of God and receive the mark, is described in the order to the five
men with slaughter weapons: Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let
not your eye spare, neither have ye pity; slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little
children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark;
and begin at My sanctuary' [Ezekiel 9:56]" Testimonies, Vol. 3, p. 267.
IN THE VERY
COURTS OF THE SDA TEMPLE
"In the very courts of the temple, 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.
The Prefigure of
Ezekiel 9 That the Apostate Leaders Will Never Show You
Even the pseudo intra-church reformers like Doug
Batchelor and Professor Walter Veith, never discuss Ezekiel 9. I asked the Lord
why this is so. The Angel of the Lord told me that they don’t teach Ezekiel 9
beginning at His Church, His Sanctuary, the House of Jacob, “those who have
been privileged with great light,” because it would destroy their lie that the
bad are shaken out of the SDA church militant to leave it the church
triumphant. The truth is that the bad (dross/tares) are shaken into the midsts
of Jerusalem (spiritual Jerusalem, the church), for slaughter, burning and
melting, just as occurred in the first literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9 in A.D.
70. Read Ezekiel 22:17-31 to find exactly where the dross (the bad, the tares)
were gathered in what Ellen White defined as THE PREFIGURE of Ezekiel 9..
“The
future was mercifully veiled from the disciples. Had they at that time fully
comprehend the two awful facts-- the Redeemer's sufferings and death, and the
destruction of their city and temple--they would have been overwhelmed with
horror. Christ presented before them an outline of the prominent events to take
place before the close of time. His words were not then fully understood; but
their meaning was to be unfolded as His people should need the instruction
therein given. The prophecy which He uttered was twofold in its
meaning; while foreshadowing the destruction of Jerusalem, it prefigured also
the terrors of the last great day.
Jesus
declared to the listening disciples the judgments that were to fall upon
apostate Israel, and especially the retributive vengeance that would come upon
them for their rejection and crucifixion of the Messiah. Unmistakable signs
would precede the awful climax. The dreaded hour would come
Page
26
suddenly and swiftly. And the Saviour warned His followers: "When ye
therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) then let
them which be in Judea flee into the mountains." Matthew 24:15, 16; Luke
21:20, 21. When the
idolatrous standards of the Romans should be set up in the holy ground, which
extended some furlongs outside the city walls, then the followers of
Christ were to find safety in flight. When the warning sign should be seen,
those who would escape must make no delay. Throughout the land of Judea, as
well as in Jerusalem itself, the signal for flight must be immediately obeyed.
He who chanced to be upon the housetop must not go down into his house, even to
save his most valued treasures. Those who were working in the fields or
vineyards must not take time to return for the outer garment laid aside while
they should be toiling in the heat of the day. They must not hesitate a moment,
lest they be involved in the general destruction.” E.G. White, The Great Controversy, pp. 25, 26.
Important
Observations:
·
In Testimonies, Vol. 5, pp. 451, and 464, Ellen
White parallels the legislation of the National Sunday Law, with the idolatrous
standards of the Romans being set up in the holy ground.
·
Further reading in
the first Chapter of The Great Controversy, reveals the fact that the Jewish
leaders told the people that Jerusalem and the Temple was God’s church, and
that God would protect His chosen people from any enemy, and that the enemy
would never reach beyond the gates to the city of Jerusalem. God has shown me
that SDA leaders will tell their members the same lie, and they will flock to
the churches the world over to be slaughtered, for that is where the slaughter
BEGINS.
·
Some are teaching
that Ezekiel 9 is the same as the Will Ross statement. That is a lie. In the
Will Ross statement, the slaughter DOES NOT BEGIN AT THE CHURCH. It does not
even mention a slaughter. It says that ALL MEMBERS FLEE, and those who had
sought positions flee and were never seen again. How does that equate with the
slaughterers BEGINNING WITH THE ANCIENT MEN (THE LEADERS) AT HIS CHURCH, HIS
SANCTUARY?
·
In the Will Ross
statement there is no mention of men, maidens and little children being
slaughtered without mercy. Thus, that statement, when taught to be Ezekiel 9,
as some are doing, is a peace and safety lie.
·
In defining the A.D.
70 slaughter as a PREFIGURE, Chapter 1, The
Great Controversy, the end-time literal fulfillment will begin at the
church as a slaughter, beginning with the leaders, and ending with the
slaughter of men, maidens and little children.
·
All who truly love the
brethren of the SDA church, would surely want to warn their friends, relatives,
and EVERY MEMBER they could warn, about such a horrible literal event as
prophesied in the Bible and by the Spirit of Prophecy. It is an act of love to
warn them. It is an act of deceit by Satan, not to warn them. It is also an act
of deceit by Satan to water down this terrible debacle by saying the Will Ross
statement is the same event, when that statement does not even mention the
slaughter of anyone, and it DOES NOT mention any slaughter BEGINNING at His
Sanctuary, His church.
·
As a pre-warning to
the literal fulfillment of Ezekiel 9, God has given the sign of the abomination
of desolation. In the end-time fulfillment, the warning will be the legislation
of a National Sunday Law. To the contrary, placing the Will Ross statement as
Ezekiel 9, and occurring BEFORE the National Sunday Law, there would be
absolutely no warning, no abomination of desolation sign per Matthew 24. Such a
teaching makes God a tyrant, inflicting such a debacle upon His people without
any warning sign for the faithful to flee, as was the case in the PREFIGURE of
A.D. 66-70.
·
For the above
reasons, the teaching that the Will Ross statement is Ezekiel 9, and comes
BEFORE the National Sunday Law, as a purging and cleansing of the church for
giving the Loud Cry, is the same peace and safety lie the leaders are teaching:
that the bad leave the church, and that is totally contrary to the Bible and
the Spirit of Prophecy. The leaders have been teaching that lie since the death
of Ellen White in 1915. Satan wants as many Adventists to be killed as
possible! All who teach a lie as to who leaves whom, are supporting Satan’s
cause.
Once again, Ellen White clearly states in The
Great Controversy, p. 25, 1911, edition, that the destruction of Jerusalem
in 70 A.D. was a PREFIGURE. Prefigure means TYPE, which demands a similar
ANTITYPICAL FULFILLMENT. Then she says that another LITERAL FULFILLMENT of
Ezekiel 9 will occur. So all we have to do is go back to the TYPE, THE PREFIGURE
and see what happened then, and any other interpretation makes Ellen White a
false prophet:
1) Who left whom then? The good left the Bad.
2) Where were the tares gathered? Into the Midst of
Jerusalem, the apostate church, Ezekiel 22:17-31.
3) Was there a primitive revival of the Jewish
people? Yes! Where did it take place? Within the apostate Jewish Church, or
outside it? Obviously outside it, Desire of Ages, 232, or it would not
have been destroyed had the revival occurred inside the Jewish church!
4) Who was True Zion, from whence the sinners were
shaken? Was it the apostate Jewish Organization, or was it from the reformer
church of Jesus and the disciples?
5) Did the Jewish people leave the apostate Jewish
church long before persecution began? Yes, they began to leave when Jesus
"gathered out" those who would take the gospel to the world. Desire
of Ages, 232, and even before this according to the following statement by
Ellen White:
"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.
Any teaching that contradicts this Ezekiel 9
PREFIGURE SCENARIO, is contradicting Ellen White and SCRIPTURE, because Ezekiel
5:9, proves that Ezekiel 9 is really PRIMARILY FULFILLED at the end-time when
God does the worst thing He has ever done or will ever do again. The end-time
interpretations of the current professing SDA New Movement Church, violate this
PREFIGURE SCENARIO stated by Ellen White and backed by Scripture. Choose ye
this day, between Scripture and Ellen White, versus "dumb dog
watchmen," who will NEVER AGAIN show the House of Jacob their sins, Testimonies,
vol. 5, 211, and Isaiah 56:10-12.
QUESTION 4. What would the professing
Seventh-day Adventist church have had to do in order that Ellen G. White would
have been forced to resign as a member of that church?
ANSWERS: The church would have to form
a new movement, new organization that would REMOVE GOD, AND PILLAR DOCTRINES,
AND ALLOW NOTHING TO STAND IN ITS WAY—NOT EVEN ELLEN WHITE, WHOSE COUNSEL THAT
NEW MOVMENT NOW TOTALLY IGNORES AND DOWNPLAYS TO ADVICE OF A LITTLE OLD LADY TO
THE PEOPLE OF HER TIME, AND NOT A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE DOCTRINES OF THE CHURCH.
President Ted Wilson fulfills the very last
deception of Satan under his watch or during the time he serves officially in
office: Essentially, the leaders approved and the delegates voted in the 2015
General Conference Session for Fundamental Belief #18 that Ellen White’s
writings have discontinued as an authoritative source of truth. http://www.trustingod.org/2015
The Lord showed me that Ellen White could never be
a member of the new movement she so aptly prophesied, and which is in full
control of the professing SDA church today:
"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.
Clearly, the nominal Adventists will not be keeping the Sabbath,
because they hate the saints on account of the Sabbath. Notice that Ellen White
says there will be “nominal Adventists,” AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE TIME OF
TROUBLE:
“I saw that God had children who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They
have not rejected the light upon it. And at the commencement of the time of
trouble, we were filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth and proclaimed the
Sabbath more fully. This enraged the churches and nominal Adventist, as they
could not refute the Sabbath truth.” Early Writings, p. 33.
The Channel of Communication to the people:
"The disciples were the channel of communication between Christ and the
people. This should be a real encouragement to His disciples today. Christ is
the great center, the source of all strength. His disciples are to receive
their supplies from Him. The most intelligent, the most spiritually minded, can
bestow only as they receive. Of themselves they can supply nothing for the
needs of the soul. We can impart only that which we receive from Christ and we
can receive only as we impart to others. As we continue imparting, we continue
to receive and the more we impart, the more we shall receive. Thus we may be constantly believing, trusting, receiving,
and imparting." The Desire of Ages, 370.
