escape
"I saw the saints leaving the cities and villages, and associating together in companies, and living in the most solitary places. Angels provided them food and water, while the wicked were suffering from hunger and thirst. Then I saw the leading men of the earth consulting together, and Satan and his angels busy around them. I saw a writing, copies of which were scattered in different parts of the land, giving orders that unless the saints should yield their peculiar faith, give up the Sabbath, and observe the first day of the week, the people were at liberty AFTER A CERTAIN TIME TO PUT THEM TO DEATH. But in this hour of trial the saints were calm and composed, trusting in God and leaning upon His promise [Luke 21:21;21:36] that a way of escape would be made for them. IN SOME PLACES, BEFORE THE TIME FOR THE DECREE TO BE EXECUTED, THE WICKED RUSHED UPON THE SAINTS TO SLAY THEM; but angels in the form of men of war fought for them. Satan wished to have the privilege of destroying the saints of the Most High; but Jesus bade His angels watch over them. God would be honored by making a covenant with those who had kept His law, in the sight of the heathen round about them; and Jesus would be honored by translating, without their seeing death, the faithful, waiting ones who had so long expected Him." - EW 282.2
Dear Brothers and Sisters.
"I stated that... there was to be special light for God's people as they neared the closing scenes of this earth's history. Another angel was to come from heaven with a message, and the whole earth was to be lightened with his glory. It would be impossible for us to state just how this additional light would come. It might come in a very unexpected manner, in a way that would not agree with the ideas that many have conceived. It is not at all unlikely, or contrary to the ways and works of God, to send light to His people in unexpected ways." Manuscript Releases, volume 13, 334.
FLEE THE USA!!! NOW!
We are to flee to the mountains even as Lot was told to flee to the mountain when God was ready to bring judgment on Sodom (Genesis 19:17). The mountain or mountains are a reference to God being our help (Psalm 121:1, Psalm 125:1).
Santiago, Chille?
The N-222 road, between Peso de Regua and Pinhao, in Portugal has been named the best road in the world. Crossing the Douro Valley, the road bears travelers along scenic towns known for wine production and quality.
I am not saying Portugal - I am researching here. But the BEST WINE is what WE HAVE! THE 3 ANGEL'S MESSAGES! THE OLD SDA DOCTRINES! BEST WINE FOR LAST LIKE THE MIRACLE OF JESUS! The man with the dirt brush is uncovering the GEMS and will be more prettily arranged in their casket better than in William Millers dream! They are going to be implemented by the 144,000 in their daily choices! Become a Miracle Giver Like Christ - "Character IS power” COL 340.2. We must learn the power of prayer! Of claiming Bible verse promises!!!
What do we have brothers and sisters? THE BEST WINE IN THE WORLD! THE 3 ANGEL'S MESSAGES!
THE WINE AT THE LAST IS THE BEST! THE MIRACLE OF JESUS TURNING WATER INTO WINE!
"And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light." Zechariah 14:5,6:
"Chile is divided into three general topographic regions: the lofty Andean cordillera on the east; the low coastal mountains of the west; and the fertile central valley between. The Andes, occupying from one-third to the entire width of the country, stretch from the Puna de Atacama in the north, a high plateau with peaks averaging 4,600 m (15,000 ft), to middle Chile, where, on the border with Argentina, rises the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, Aconcagua (6,960 m/22,834 ft), and then, diminishing in height, run south into the Chilean lake country, with its snowcapped volcanoes and several passes." http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Chile.aspx
We need to band together in a small group - or a small company - and work together to buy a piece of property so that we can further the last great warning message from OUTSIDE the borders of the USA just as we have been instructed to do by the early SDA protestant pioneers and whose words Ellen White instructed us to REPEAT and OBEY. Multitudes will condemn themselves, and will fret themselves under the condemnation, that they did not go out of the United States WHEN THEY HAD A CHANCE. Those that are in the USA need to GET OUT. And this is God’s call to Seventh-day Adventists, to get out, cut loose, sell out, leave the USA; For the day is coming when you cannot sell, AND CANNOT LEAVE.
We MUST get OUT of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ASAP.
America is soon to be DESTROYED.
"Own only what you can carry with you. Know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag."-- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
"Jesus declared to the listening disciples the judgments that were to fall upon apostate Israel...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.'...When the warning sign should be seen, judgment was to follow so quickly that those who would escape must make no delay....They must not hesitate a moment, lest they be involved in the general destruction." Spirit of Prophecy, vol 4, p 26-27.
Escape from the danger.
A Shocking and Sobering Warning to Get Out of the USA from A Sermon by AT Jones in 1901. Download original document here with the following quote in it:
“The day is coming when every Seventh-day Adventist in the United States would give everything that he has, and his life almost, if he could be outside the United States. Let me say that again. I am speaking something now that interests every Seventh-day Adventist. The day is coming, and is not far off, when every Seventh-day Adventist will wish to the depths of his (or her) soul that he were out of the United States: and multitudes will condemn themselves, and will fret themselves under the condemnation, that they did not go out of the United States WHEN THEY HAD A CHANCE.
“God set this country of the United States as the light to the world with the principles of God, for all mankind, and nations particularly. Since these principles have been the place of refuge for all people to come hitherto, the place of the land of liberty and light, and blessing to mankind, the effect will be directly contrary hereafter, and the message of God is now to all nations, ENTER NOT INTO THE UNITED STATES; and those that are in it, GET OUT. And this is God’s call to Seventh-day Adventists, to get out, cut loose, sell out, leave here; For the day is coming when you cannot sell, AND CANNOT LEAVE.”
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto” (Luke 21:21).
One thing is certain: Those Seventh-day Adventists who take their stand under Satan's banner will first give up their faith in the warnings and reproofs contained in the Testimonies of God's Spirit.--3SM 84 (1903).
The TESTIMONIES are the TESTIMONIES OF THE EARLY SDA PROTESTANT PIONEERS! ALL OF THEM who were TRUE PROTESTANTS!!! Not just Ellen White! See this link for proof of this: https://sites.google.com/site/howtoperformmiracles/repeat
God has allowed the trials to happen to me and my family so we can know without a shadow of doubt what we are to do. He is making our crooked paths straight and plain.
I do not know where to go except I do KNOW that we MUST get OUT of the USA before we CANNOT GET OUT of the USA.
It is almost that we CANNOT GET OUT now.
“Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto” (Luke 21:21).
At the onset of the Sunday laws in 1888 will be a signal for God’s people to act to minimize hostilities! We know that from cross-reference to Daniel.
They are closing the borders very soon. It is only months. We are in the same position that the Jews were to get out of Germany.
Do NOT tell anyone that we are getting out. We are like the Israelites going out of Egypt...Moses said they were going 3 DAYS out to worship their God. We are going on a Vacation or Road Trip, a nice holiday... only never to return. DO NOT TELL PEOPLE YOU ARE LEAVING FOR GOOD. You will very likely be put in JAIL for it or for some trumped up charge. BE CAREFUL. I cannot caution you enough about this.
God's people right now do NOT understand the DIRE STRAIGHTS WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW those of us who are IN the USA.
USA is the new Babylon - and of course the apostatized GC SDA organization is ANOTHER BEAST of Revelation 13:11-18 and will lead out in the persecution of God's people, outing them to the Catholics all over the world. We are not to mention that we are Adventists - or Protestants - just like Mordecai (of the tribe of Benjamin) told Esther not to tell the King that she was a Jew. Esther had not revealed her nationality and family background, because Mordecai had forbidden her to do so. Esther 2:10.
Faithful early SDA Protestant pioneer Stephen N. Haskell stated "From its (USA) borders, will be heralded the
last great message, and from its (USA) people will be gathered a remnant church." Seer of Patmos - link to the book here:

Haskell in Seer of Patmos book writes: Those who love the Word of God have withdrawn from her (USA) midst, and during the time of trouble, are hidden from the wrath of man and the fury of the plagues. As probation has closed, " the light of a candle shall shine no more at all" in Babylon.
“We have no time to lose. The end is near. The passage from place to place to spread the truth will soon be hedged with dangers on the right hand and the left. Everything will be placed to obstruct the way of the Lord’s messengers, so that they will not be able to do that which it is possible for them to do now.”
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT IN OTHER COUNTRIES - NOT THE USA:
"The time is not far distant, when, like the early disciples, we shall be forced to seek a refuge in desolate and solitary places. As the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was the signal for flight to the Judean Christians, so the assumption of power on the part of our nation, in the decree enforcing the papal sabbath, will be a warning to us. It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving the smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains."—Testimonies for the Church 5:464, 465.
“Do not become weary in the distribution of our literature. This is a work you may all engage in successfully if you are but connected with God.” Welfare Ministry, 162.
“As long as probation continues, there will be opportunity for the canvasser to work. When the (501c3=non-profit/tax-exempt) religious denominations unite with the papacy to oppress God’s people, places where there is religious freedom will be opened by evangelistic canvassing.”—6 Testimonies, 478:2.
"The less we make direct charges against authorities and powers, the greater work we shall be able to accomplish, both in America and in foreign countries. Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world" Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, p. 395.1 (Ellen G. White).
"Brethren and sisters, would that I might say something to awaken you to the importance of this time, the significance of the events that are now taking place. I point you to the aggressive movements now being made for the restriction of religious liberty. God's sanctified memorial has been torn down, and in its place a false sabbath, bearing no sanctity, stands before the world. And while the powers of darkness are stirring up the elements from beneath, the Lord God of heaven is sending power from above to meet the emergency by arousing His living agencies to exalt the law of heaven. Now, just now, is our time to work in foreign countries. As America, the land of religious liberty, shall unite with the papacy in forcing the conscience and compelling men to honor the false sabbath, the people of every country on the globe will be led to follow her example. Our people are not half awake to do all in their power, with the facilities within their reach, to extend the message of warning" Testimonies for the Church, vol. 6, p. 18.2 (Ellen G. White).
"God keeps a record with the nations: the figures are swelling against them in the books of heaven; and WHEN it shall have become a law that the transgression of the first day of the week shall be met with punishment, THEN their cup will be full" The Review and Herald March 9, 1886 paragraph 22 (Ellen G. White).
"The time is soon coming when God’s people, because of persecution, will be scattered in many countries. Those who have received an all-round education will have the advantage where they are.—Manuscript Releases 5:280 (1908); Last Day Events, p. 152.1.
"During the night a very impressive scene passed before me. There seemed to be great confusion and the conflict of armies. A messenger from the Lord stood before me, and said, "Call your household. I will lead you; follow me." He led me down a dark passage, through a forest, then through the clefts of (THE ANDES in Chile/Argentina???) mountains, and said, "Here you are safe." There were others who had been led to this retreat. The heavenly messenger said. "The time of trouble has come as a thief in the night, as the Lord warned you it would come" {Mar 270.4}. Link to rest of quote: Maranatha, p. 270.4
The Chilean caves of lapis lazuli are in the Andes Mountains.
"The great Central Valley, which extends from Salamanca, north of Santiago (over 6 million people), for over 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) south to Puerto Montt (its strategic position at the southern end of the Chilean Central Valley being a gateway city into Chiloé Archipelago, Llanquihue and Nahuel Huapi lakes and Western Patagonia.)"
I was especially pleased to learn of the efforts put forth during the past year in the tourist centers of this conference. A special work is to be done in places where people are constantly coming and going. Christ labored in Capernaum much of the time, because this was a place through which travelers were constantly passing, and where many often tarried. There are now twenty-six churches and nine companies in the Southern California Conference, with a membership of over fifteen hundred. What a work could be done in this field, if all these brethren and sisters were to improve every opportunity to let the light of truth shine forth! RH July 12, 1906, par. 3
As long as probation continues, there will be opportunity for the canvasser to work. When the religious denominations unite with the papacy to oppress God's people, places where there is religious freedom will be opened by evangelistic canvassing. If in one place the persecution becomes severe, let the workers do as Christ directed: "When they persecute you in one city, flee ye into another." If persecution comes there, go to still another place. God will lead his people, making them a blessing in many places. Were it not for persecution, they would not be so widely scattered abroad to proclaim the truth. And Christ declares, "Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come." Until in heaven is spoken the word, "It is finished," there will be places for labor, and hearts to receive the message. {RH, October 7, 1902 par. 13}
The only ones to escape were those who follow the instruction Jesus gave to “flee.” Matthew 24'
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
– How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him? – Hebrews 2:3
The verses that follow are about the faithful people of God fleeing destruction—fleeing to a place of protection that God will provide. This is more proof that God will in fact protect some.
And here is what He will protect them from: “For then shall be GREAT TRIBULATION, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should NO FLESH BE SAVED: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matthew 24:21-22).
"And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light." Zechariah 14:5,6:
Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in His Ways, and to fear (reverence) Him. For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of Water, of Fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills . . .’ Deuteronomy 8:1-7
We are to flee to the mountains even as Lot was told to flee to the mountain when God was ready to bring judgment on Sodom (Genesis 19:17). The mountain or mountains are a reference to God being our help (Psalm 121:1, Psalm 125:1).
"Souls that were scattered all through the religious bodies answered to the call, and the precious were hurried out of the doomed churches, as Lot was hurried out of Sodom before her destruction. God's people were strengthened by the excellent glory (character) which rested upon them in rich abundance and prepared them to endure the hour of temptation. I heard everywhere a multitude of voices saying, 'Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.' "Early Writings, pp. 277-279.
"Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers .... Thus the inhabitants of the earth will be brought to take their stand." (GC 612)
"I heard voices which seemed to sound everywhere, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues; for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities." --{See Revelation 14:12, Revelation 18, Joel 2:9-11; The Great Controversy Chapter 34, The Story of Redemption, p. 399.3 }
From its (USA) borders, will be heralded the
last great message, and from its (USA) people will
be gathered a remnant church. The members
of this church (Zion, church triumphant = those who go by faith into the Most Holy Place in the Heavenly Sanctuary) will join with those of other countries, who, in the very presence of the beast,
stand true to the God of heaven and earth when
the Saviour comes to receive His subjects.
The time of the fall of all nations approaches.
They will be succeeded by the kingdom of God.
Christ and the Father will reign forever, and
the subjects will be those who have developed a
character in harmony with Jehovah ; and they
will have done this when surrounded on all sides
by the concentrated iniquity of Babylon, Persia,
Greece, and Rome. Lucifer claimed that it
was impossible to serve God in heaven. BY
Seer of Patmos by Stephen N. Haskell
I am looking for a piece of property to buy that already has producing fruit trees on it and a spring and water.
I have found 640 acres with 150 acres of producing oranges, cashews, coconuts, mangos etc...
The property features over 150 acres of bearing Valancia orange trees and other fruit trees like coconuts, mangoes and cashews. There is a excellent limestone spring and creeks which form a tributary to the Moho River (which is less than a mile away). Over 200 acres of this property is in its natural jungle state and the topography is fairly flat with a few rolling hills.
Here is a link to it below. Be VERY CAREFUL "WHO" you share this with my dear brothers and sisters. And do not contact the selling agent. I have some friends in the area who hopefully will be able to negotiate a better price. OR we can simply go to a resort in the area and decide IF we even want this or to be in this country. I have been here before in 1986...long time ago to build a church. I spent a month in Belize with 56 other young people. My Dad was a SDA Texas Conference builder and we as his family drove to Belize taking the necessary tools and food to Belize for the kids who flew to Belize. They speak English here - along with Spanish, Creole and some French and Myan...
Don't let the price scare you - because if God be in this it will all work out. I was thinking that if we get several families together - maybe 10 or so - this will be a very doable price for us and those that cannot afford anything can come to help build houses that we can live in.
Some people own homes that they can borrow the max on the equity they have in their homes or sell their homes/property. Everything. We must cut lose, sell out and get out WHILE we still can. This opportunity is FAST leaving. The WALL Trump is talking about is NOT to keep people OUT but to KEEP PEOPLE INSIDE. To keep us SLAVES inside the USA. I always wondered WHO the slaves were that Ellen White was talking about - IT IS US. ALL countries with a central bank have slaves.
I am also looking at Chili - the Andes Mountains look very inviting right now as well.
the main chain of the Andes to the east, and can be viewed with this magical backdrop from the top of Cerro San Cristobal, a major tourist site.
Ellen White writes: "During the night a very impressive scene passed before me. There seemed to be great confusion and the conflict of armies. A messenger from the Lord stood before me, and said, "Call your household. I will lead you; follow me." He led me down a dark passage, through a forest, then through the clefts of [THE ANDES in Chile/Argentina???] mountains, and said, "Here you are safe." There were others who had been led to this retreat. The heavenly messenger said. "The time of trouble has come as a thief in the night, as the Lord warned you it would come" {Mar 270.4}. Link to rest of quote: Maranatha, p. 270.4
"I moved from Greenville, South Carolina, to Santiago, Chile. My belongings, loaded onto a container a few days before, were already on their way. " - Does anyone KNOW any TRUE GOD BELIEVERS in Chile?
Unlike the United States and Europe, Chile is not in decline. The economy here is stronger than almost anywhere in the northern hemisphere. Construction projects abound in Santiago. The cost of living is lower than any city of comparable size in the United States. The Pacific-coastal climate is ideal. Scenery around the country is unparalleled....
Given that Chile is a long, narrow country with over 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometres) of coastline, separated from the rest of South America by the Andes, you can be on the ocean, drive for perhaps two and a half hours, and be in the mountains!
Average High Temperatures
Four months in Chile have average high temperatures of greater than 80 degrees F. The warmest month of the year is January, which features an average high temperature of 86 degrees. December, February and March also all have average high temperatures of greater than 80 degrees. The months that are considered the warmest months in North America are the coolest months in Chile. The coolest average high temperature in Chile occurs in June, when the average high temperature drops to 57 degrees.
Chile features cooler temperatures in the middle of the year.
"The Cueva del Milodon (Cave of the Milodon) National Park features a 30-meter-deep (100-foot-deep) cave. The milodon is a mythical prehistoric animal believed to have been a plant-eating mammal that was twice the size of a human. The caves in the park also house remnants of human settlements. Archaeologists believe ancient humans lived in these caves thousands of years ago. "
Oh, that God’s people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities now almost given to idolatry! The Adventist Home, p. 136.6

Preppers: "There is no help for us but in God; in this state of earth’s confusion we can be composed, strong, or safe, only in the strength of living faith; nor can we be at peace, only as we rest in God and wait for His salvation." Testimony Treasures Volume 1, p. 89.2
Please, lets band together and pray and ask God to show us where we can go to get out of the USA immediately. God is freeing my family up so that we can go quickly. Perhaps we need to look for a "tourist center" town in another country so that the gospel can be shared:
I was especially pleased to learn of the efforts put forth during the past year in the tourist centers of this conference. A special work is to be done in places where people are constantly coming and going. Christ labored in Capernaum much of the time, because this was a place through which travelers were constantly passing, and where many often tarried.

I am serious - the borders of the USA are being closed. They are ALREADY NOT LETTING SOME PEOPLE OUT. DO NOT TELL ANYONE that you are leaving - but that you are road tripping. Going on a vacation - similar to Moses telling the King of Egypt that he wanted to take the children of Israel out into the wilderness 3 days to worship their God.
Every day Mordecai walked back and forth in front of the court of the harem to learn how Esther was and how she fared.
Esther had not yet made known her kindred or her people, even as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther did what Mordecai told her as she had done when under his care.
I believe the 40 years started in 1980 for Adventists and that comes to 2020:
Adventism's crowning sin was that of imputing all of her wisdom and power unto false gods.
“Not one Christian perished in the destruction of Jerusalem. Christ had given his disciples warning, and all who believed his words watched for the promised sign. ‘When ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies,’ said Jesus, ‘then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out.’ [Luke 21:20, 21.] After the Romans under Cestius [Gaius Cestius Gallus – Roman general who had been assigned to Syria A.D. 63-65 and came to squelch the Jewish revolt by Nero’s orders] had surrounded the city, they unexpectedly abandoned the siege when everything seemed favorable for an immediate attack. The besieged, despairing of successful resistance, were on the point of surrender, when the Roman general withdrew his forces, without the least apparent reason. But God's merciful providence was directing events for the good of his own people. The promised sign had been given to the waiting Christians, and now an opportunity was afforded for all who would to obey the Saviour's warning. Events were so overruled that neither Jews nor Romans should hinder the flight of the Christians. Upon the retreat of Cestius, the Jews, sallying fromJerusalem, pursued after his retiring army, and while both forces were thus fully engaged, the Christians had an opportunity to leave the city. At this time the country also had been cleared of enemies who might have endeavored to intercept them. At the time of the siege [66 A.D. – beginning of the three and a half year period], the Jews were assembled at Jerusalem to keep the Feast of Tabernacles, and thus the Christians throughout the land were able to make their escape unmolested. Without delay they fled to a place of safety,–the city of Pella, in the land of Perea, beyond Jordan.”[10]
Events were so overruled that neither Jews nor Romans should hinder the flight of the Christians.
The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. {9T 11.2}
"Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, for you know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this Day should surprise you like a thief. You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober," 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5.
"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are His. He changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things," Daniel 2:20-22.

Ellen White predicts: "This entire chapter (Revelation 13) is a revelation of what WILL [future tense] surely take place." 19MR 182.6 Manuscript Releases Volume Nineteen [Nos. 1360-1419], p. 182.6, S.D.A. Bible Commentary Vol. 7, p. 979.10
in Revelation, before Jerusalem and the temple were destroyed, God warned His people about the coming destruction. He pointed them to the prophecies of Daniel and urged them to study and understand them. Those who listened to His counsel escaped with their lives, but those who did not perished. They suffered the consequences of their choice. God had pleaded long and it was only with aching heart that He gave them up.
Just as Pharaoh did not relent when the plagues fell, so the unrepentant will not cease in their endeavors to destroy God's people. The crisis will escalate until it climaxes in the death decree against those who refuse to honor the Antichrist. The promises of God are, however, sure:
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it will not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plagues come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways (Psalms 91:5-11).
"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 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 [beginning at His Sanctuary]." E.G. White, The Great Controversy, p. 25, 1911 edition.
"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, vol. 5, 211.
As this struggle progresses, it may appear to human sight that Satan is triumphant and that truth is overborne with falsehood and error. In the country which has been an asylum for the conscience-oppressed servants of God and defenders of His truth, religious freedom may be placed in jeopardy, and the people over whom God has spread His shield, may meet suffering and trial. But God would have us recall His dealings with His people in the past, to save them from their enemies, and trust in Him. He has always chosen extremities, when there seemed no possible hope for deliverance from Satan's workings, for the display of His power. Man's necessity is God's opportunity. {ST, November 28, 1900 par. 3}
We are living in the time of the end. The fast-fulfilling signs of the times declare that the coming of Christ is near at hand. The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. {9T 11.1}
"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are His. He changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things," Daniel 2:20-22.
"Since 1798 the book of Daniel has been unsealed, knowledge of the prophecies has increased, and many have proclaimed the solemn message of the judgment near." - The Great Controversy, p. 356.
Those who stand before the people as teachers of truth are to grapple with great themes. They are not to occupy precious time in talking of trivial subjects. Let them study the Word, and preach the Word. Let the Word be in their hands as a sharp, two-edged sword. Let it testify to past truths and show what is to be in the future are to shape our lives and that by us are to be proclaimed to the world. We are to keep abreast of the times, bearing a clear, intelligent testimony, guided by the unction of the Holy Spirit.—Manuscript 31, 1906. pp. 5, 6. (“Be Vigilant,” April 2, 1906.)
Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
"Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll."
"To souls that are earnestly seeking for light and that accept with gladness every ray of divine illumination from His holy Word, to such alone light will be given. It is through these souls that God will reveal that light and power which will lighten the whole earth with His glory."--5T 729
(1889).
“As the light is diffused, given to others, greater light will come. The reason why the churches sit in darkness and have no light, is that they have not given light, they have not been as a city set upon a hill, that cannot be hid.” RH, February 10, 1891 par. 13
“ Every act of consecration to God brings joy; for as we appreciate the light He has given us, more and greater light will come. ML 174.4
“Yet every mind through whom the Holy Spirit has worked has presented these themes in a light that is fresh and new. The truths of redemption are capable of constant development and expansion. Though old, they are ever new, constantly revealing to the seeker for truth a greater glory and a mightier power. In every age there is a new development of truth, a message of God to the people of that generation. The old truths are all essential; new truth is not independent of the old, but an unfolding of it. It is only as the old truths are understood that we can comprehend the new. When Christ desired to open to His disciples the truth of His resurrection, He began "at Moses and all the prophets" and "expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself." Luke 24:27. But it is the light which shines in the fresh unfolding of truth that glorifies the old. He who rejects or neglects the new does not really possess the old. For him it loses its vital power and becomes but a lifeless form.” COL 127-128
“Follow every ray of light that you see, and that which is shadowy will be made clear to your understanding as you walk in the light.”ST, January 24, 1895 par. 5
