The Close of Probation for Professed SDA’s At The Enforcing of The NSL Fact or Fiction

Bible

1 Peter 4:17-19
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

What or Who comprises the house of God?

Bible

1 Timothy 3:15
15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God , which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth .

Genesis 28:16,17
16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew [it] not.

17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful [is] this place! this [is] none other but the house of God , and this [is] the gate of heaven.

Isaiah 2:2,3
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob ; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

The Sunday Law Enforced - By Then Your Decision Made

Who receives The Mark of The Beast

Evangelism
The Mark of the Beast. -- When Sunday observance shall be enforced by law, and the world shall be enlightened concerning the obligation of the true Sabbath, then whoever shall transgress the command of God, to obey a precept which has no higher authority than that of Rome, will thereby honor popery above God. He is paying homage to Rome, and to the power which enforces the institution ordained by Rome .

He is worshiping the beast and his image. As men then reject the institution which God has declared to be the sign of His authority, and honor in its stead that which Rome has chosen as the token of her supremacy, they will thereby accept the sign of allegiance to Rome, Rome,----"the mark of the beast ."

And it is not until the issue is thus plainly set before the people, and they are brought to choose between the commandments of God and the commandments of men, that those who continue in transgression will receive "the mark of the beast." The Great Controversy, p. 449.(1888) Ev 233.4}

Reception of Mark of the Beast Future

The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of the Romish church. Those who, understanding the claims of the fourth commandment, choose to observe the false sabbath in the place of the true, are thereby paying homage to that power by which alone it is commanded.

The mark of the beast is the papal sabbath, which has been accepted by the world in the place of the day of God's appointment. { Ev 234.1}

No one has yet received the mark of the beast. The testing time has not yet come. There are true Christians in every church, not excepting the Roman Catholic communion. None are condemned until they have had the light and have seen the obligation of the fourth commandment .

But when the decree shall go forth enforcing the counterfeit sabbath, and the loud cry of the third angel shall warn men against the worship of the beast and his image, the line will be clearly drawn between the false and the true. Thenthose who still continue in transgression will receive the mark of the beast. { Ev 234.2}

With rapid steps we are approaching this period . When Protestant churches shall unite with the secular power to sustain a false religion, for opposing which their ancestors endured the fiercest persecution, then will the papal sabbath be enforced by the combined authority of church and state. There will be a national apostasy, which will end only in national ruin. Manuscript 51, 1899. { Ev 235.1}

Gods People Feel the First Stroke of His Displeasure

Bible

Ezekiel 9:4-6
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.

5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

6 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 . Then they began at the ancient men which [were] before the house.

The Review and Herald
The crisis is fast approaching . The rapidly swelling figures show that the time for God's visitations has nearly come. Although loth to punish, nevertheless he will punish, and that speedily.

Those who walk in the light will see signs of the approaching peril; but they are not to sit in quiet, unconcerned expectancy of the ruin, comforting themselves with the belief that God will shelter his people in the day of visitation. Far from it. They should realize that it is their duty to labor diligently to save others, looking with strong faith to God for help. {RH, January 11, 1887 par. 8}

The command is, "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. "These sighing, crying ones had been holding forth the words of life; they had reproved, counseled , and entreated.

Some who had been dishonoring God repented and humbled their hearts before him. But the glory of the Lord had departed from Israel. Although many still continued the forms of religion, its power and presence were lacking. {RH, January 11, 1887 par. 9}

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. This shows us that we must not look to men for example. We need to stay our faith upon God; for there is just before us a time that will try men's souls. {RH, January 11, 1887 par. 11}

Note - The Glory of God departs from Israel. Why? Betrayal. People Gone Astray. The Lords Sanctuary feels the first stroke of Gods Wrath.

Fact or Fiction? - Fact!

Let us not wait to find out, be ready! Make your decision now! To be undecided at that time is to receive the mark of the beast.

Where Is Your Surety?

Testimonies for the Church Volume 5
"God is either teaching His church, reproving their wrongs and strengthening their faith, or He is not. This work is of God, or it is not. God does nothing in partnership with Satan. My work bears the stamp of God or the stamp of the enemy. There is no halfway work in the matter. The Testimonies are of the Spirit of God, or of the devil." - 5T p.671

The Pandemic.jpg

The Pandemic’s New Normal

COVID 19 Restrictions, Masks, Vaccines

The Covid 19 pandemic has affected our lives in a real, drastic, radical and on an unprecedented level. No one would have foreseen what was about to happen, all plans, projections, forecasts, and anticipations came to naught as we witnessed and are witnessing a permanent paradigm shift.

Ask yourself the question

Why was it or is it easier to implement and adhere to the regulations of the world as opposed to adhering to the regulations and requirements of God?

The Great Reset vs THE GREAT RESET Which is Greater?

World Economic Forum.jpg

The Great Reset - WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

THE CONTEXT

The Covid 19 crisis, and the political, economic and social disruptions it has caused, is fundamentally changing the traditional context for decision making. The inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems from health and financial to energy and education are more exposed than ever amidst a global context of concern for lives, livelihoods and the planet. Leaders find themselves at a historic crossroads, managing short term pressures against medium and long term uncertainties.

THE OPPORTUNITY

As we enter a unique window of opportunity to shape the recovery, this initiative will offer insights to help inform all those determining the future state of global relations, the direction of national economies, the priorities of societies, the nature of business models and the management of a global commons. Drawing from the vision and vast expertise of the leaders engaged across the Forum’s communities, the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honour s the dignity of every human being.

Fact - The Real GREAT RESET

A GREAT RESET is coming, The Real New World Order is coming and the Lord of the Sabbath will be established as KING of Kings and LORD of Lords and He will rule forever In a Brand New Heaven and Earth and the Brand New Jerusalem.

Be Assured

Daniel 2:44,45
44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, [but] it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

45 Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream [is] certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.

Daniel 7:26,27
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy [it] unto the end.

27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

Revelation 1:6-8 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Revelation 21:1-3
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.

Revelation 22:7,10,12-14
7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

THE GREAT RESET IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED

The fact that GOD LOVES US and IS LOVE is not the question. Rather it is How do I respond to That Love?

I Respond to that Love in Submission and Obedience to HIS will, by allowing His Spirit to dwell in us thus producing the Character of Christ.

Colossians 1:27
27 To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

Amen
