Just Before the End

Father God, we are living just before the end, and

most of us don't realize it. What does it mean

to live that way? How do we live? How will

we be found in the last day? Help us today?

We're going deep into the Bible today, Lord, help us

to get through it to get the lessons for our souls.

So will be saved in Jesus' name. Amen, I say

this and I mean it. We are living just before

the end? How do I know that? Just before the end?

Started in the year seventeen ninety eight, when the time

two times in half a time prophecy that is forty

two prophetic months equaling twelve hundred and sixty prophetic days

for years ended in the year seventeen ninety eight, a

prophetic milestone in human history. The prophecy started in the

spring of five thirty one and ended in seventeen ninety

eight a d It started when the Church of Rome

was propped up in Italy by the political forces of

the armies of the Eastern Empire, and it ended when

the French general took it down to the month that

time prophecy was fulfilled. Protestant students of scripture had looked

for its fulfillment, and they nailed it to the year

before it happened. We know this based in Danel twelve

in good history, that it is a fulfillment of prophecy.

Jesus says the man in lenin Dale twelve seven swears

an oath to God his father, that the persecutions of

the Middle Ages would come to an end at the

end of this time prophecy in Daniel twelve four. The

Book of Daniel was unsealed in the year seventeen ninety eight,

and the book Great Controversy affirms that, based on the

prophecies of Danel twelve, when that long time prophecy came

to an end, we moved from the medieval world to

the modern era of nations. The Divided Ear of Conflict

four the Book of Damals and sealed Dan eleven forty.

The collapse of the Roman Church state system int Ages

was predicted to fall politically in the year seventeen ninety

eight at the time of the end, and it happened

in the spring, and just before that very important time

prophecy ran out in seventeen ninety eight. Bible students around

the world got it right. The Reformation view of prophecy

was affirmed, and today we live in a time when

people don't even study the prophecies like the Reformers did.

Seventh day Adventists are the last global or large movement

on Earth that is reformation bound its understanding the prophecies.

When Pope Pius the six was taken captive by the

French Gneral birth the A in that year seventeen ninety eight,

the Book of Daniel became the focal point of scholarly

study and religious investigation for the committed Christians all over

the world. The book was unsealed and knowledge increased, not

just technical knowledge, not just just scientific knowledge, knowledge of

the Bible and the prophecies. The Bible was translated and

sent through missionary societies around the world, and the Bible

that we have in our hands coalesced in the year

eighteen twenty six, when the Scottish Bible Society removed the

apocrypha and the Bible is the Word of God for

the time of the End came just in time for

eighteen forty four, the longest time prophecy of Daniel was

yet to be fulfilled. Not in seventeen ninety eight, shortly

after turned to Daniel eight fourteen, and he said to me,

for two thousand, three hundred evenings in mornings, then the

sanctuary will be restored to its rightful state. The King

James version at that time read Cleansed in verse seventeen.

So he, that is Gabriel, came near where I stood,

and when he came I was frightened Daniel's speaking, I

fell upon my face. But he said to me, you understand,

the son of Man, that this vision is for the

time of the end. The twenty three one hundred year

per day prophecy was not fulfilled at the time of

Antiochus Epiphanes Is. Doctor Desmond Ford and many others have

said and say it reaches to the time of the end,

and that prophecy started in the autumn of four fifty

seven BC with the decree to restore in Bill Jerusalem,

and it brought us to the year the autumn of

eighteen forty four. A milestone, a predicted milestone in prophetic history.

That twenty three hundred year time prophecy predicted the exact

timing for the fifth and final kingdom prophesied in the

Book of Daniel, the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the

future king of the world. The last Kingdom, God's Kingdom,

the Eternal Kingdom. According to the Book of Daniel, it

was set up in heaven and Christ came to receive

it beginning in the year eighteen forty four. Babylon meet

to Persia, Greece, Rome or only four kingdoms they are

of the world. The fifth Kingdom is Godd's Kingdom. It

belongs to Heaven. It is for the future. It is

what we must belong to. The fifth kingdom is the

Word of God Kingdom. The fifth kingdom is the Taara Kingdom.

The fifth kingdom is the Five Loaves Kingdom. The Book

of Daniel predicted that God would set up his fifth

kingdom in heaven at the time of the end, just

before the end itself that will be visible and audible

when Jesus returns and fire at the end of the age.

Daniel predicted this fifth Word of God Kingdom would be

set up in a heavenly investigative judgment in the year

that started in eighteen forty four. Heaven and Earth are correlated.

Heavenly time earthly time is correlated much like quantum entanglement,

and when Jesus himself came before the Ancient of days

to receive his kingdom. Became into the most totly place

of the heavenly sanctuary, where God Almighty was sitting on

his throne. In Daniel seven, fire coming from it, a

chariot throne identified in First Chronicles twenty eighteen the Ark

of the Covenant and where sin started elusively rebelled. Christ

came before his father to receive his kingdom, one name

at a time, from Adam to the end Danel two

forty four and forty five, in the days of those

Kings that means Europe, the divided Europe after the Middle Ages.

The God of Heaven will set up a kingdom which

shall never be destroyed, nor shall it sovereigny be left

on other people. It shall break in pieces all these

kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall

stand forever. Look at verse forty five, just as you

saw that it a stone was cut out from a

mountain by no human hand, and that it broke in pieces,

the iron and the bronze, the clay, the silver, and

the gold. I like how it says it. Next, a

great God has made known to the king what shall

be hereafter the dream is certain in its interpretation. Sure,

I mean, can you rely on Bible prophecy for your future? Yes?

Danel seven thirteen fourteen. I saw in the night visions,

and behold with the clouds of heaven. This is at

the end of the Middle Ages, after the four Great

World empires, after the Little Horn is decimating the Church

and the Middle Ages. He says, all in the night

visions it was dark. History had come to a black outcome.

And behold the clouds of heaven. There came one like

a son of Man that Jesus latches onto, that termed

son of man, that becomes his language to describe himself.

In the Gospels, we follow the son of Man, and

one like a son of Man. He came to the

Ancient of days and was presented before him in the Aramaic.

He was carried in, and to him was given dominion

and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples and nations

and languages should serve him. His dominions never lasting, men

which shall not pass away, His kingdom, one that shall

not be destroyed. When the thief was dying on the cross,

he quoted this verse. He said, remember me, when you

come into your kingdom. He wasn't saying, remember me tonight

after I'm dead. He was saying, remember me in the judgment,

when the books are opened, you come into your kingdom,

and you receive your kingdom one name at a time,

remember me. And Jesus said, verily, I say to you today, Comma,

you will be with me in Paradise. Christ took in

all this material in the Book of Daniel when he

summarized it all in two verses in the Gospel of

Luke Loo nineteen eleven twelve. Take your bible's in turn.

There as they heard these things, he proceeds to tell

a parable because he was near Jerusalem. Because they supposed,

see it's possible to get prophecy wrong. They supposed that

the King of God will appear immediately. He said, Therefore

a nobleman went into a far off country to receive

a kingdom and then return. So, friends, we are living

at the time of the end. Why has Christ not returned?

Because that preadvent investigatid judgment in heaven, in which the

fifth Kingdom of God is set up, is the event

that precedes the second coming. Unless he goes in that

far off country receive his kingdom one name at a

time by confessing their names before the Father. He doesn't

come back with the kingdom. So, friends, we are living

at the time of the end. We are living in

the hour of God's judgment. We are living in the

time when Heaven is reviewing the books, when the Fifth

Kingdom is being solidified, and the world is being prepared

for the coming of Christ. It is no accident that

in the year eighteen forty four God raised up a

movement on earth to mirror the movements of Heaven. So, friends,

we are living at the time of the end. We

are prophetic people. We live with prophetic facts. We are

living on the eve of the end. Now, what happens

just before the end? Jesus told us a great deal.

In Matthew twenty four, he describes the whole history of

the Christian Church in that chapter, all the way down

to the Second Coming. He talks about the Gospel going

to the whole Roman world, followed by false prophets and

fanatics full of themselves acting like their little messengers from

God when they are not. He talks about Christian and

Love growing cold during the Middle Ages and most of

the Church apostasizes, sizing, and the belief that the law

of God has been changed and done away with. And

then he tells us what will happen just before the end.

Look at Matthew twenty four, verse thirteen, he who endures

to the end. Now read it with me. What does

it say in your bible he endures the end? Does

it say might be saved? It says will be saved? Okay,

how many want to endure? Then patience matters, and this

gospel of the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole

world as a witness or testimony to all nations. And

then the end will come. So you see the desolating

Sacriles's spoken of by the prophet Daniel standing the Holy place.

Let the reader understand. Look the apostolic gospel that Christ

died for our sins, he was buried, he was raised

for acceptance and justification. Will go to the world. Then

the incomes. But it doesn't go to the world without prophecy,

he says, as it goes to the world, Get into

the book of Daniel. Understand Daniel go down to verses

twenty twenty one with me. Verse twenty he says, pray

that your flight may not be in winter or on

a Sabbath. The flight is a persecution flight. When you're

being confronted, you have to flee for your lives. Christ

is telling us here that we will be persecuted over

Sabbath observance at the time of the end. The love

of many will grow cold like it did in verse twelve,

leading to the time of the end, and we will

feel the winter of a cold hearted, false Christian world

trying to kill those who will keep the commandments of

God and have the faith of Jesus. And we will

need the Holy Spirit day that is the seventh day,

the Sabbath day, in order to have a strong prayer

life with God to make it through the end. Now

Jesus was trying to do away at the Sabbath, why

would he tell us this. He's saying, at the end,

you need the Sabbath. The time of trouble will follow

the attack on the seventh day Sabbath, that is Saturday.

Look at verse twenty one, for then there will be

great tribulation such has not been since there was from

the beginning of the world, and until now Noah never

will be the time of trouble. The plagues, the ungluing

of human history will follow a Sabbath conflict that is

rooted in the Everlasting Gospel going to the World and

Danel twelve one. That great time of trouble is followed

by the coming of Jesus Christ, when Michael stands up

to deliver God's people and to resurrect the living saints

and the righteous who sleep in the dust of the earth,

awake and shine like the brightness of the firmament Danel

twelve one. At that time shall arise Michael, the Great Prince.

Now there's only one great prince in heaven. That's Jesus. Michael.

Is a question who is just like or who is

equal to God? And the answer is God with us

Emmenu Well, before Christ was a human, he was the

angel of the Lord in the Old Testament, who was

called Jehovah, who was Yahweh, whose name was in him.

He is the second person of the God. He was

God with angels before he became God with us. And

when he was born in Bethlehem's manger, he merged the

nature so that he's the peace child to night, heaven

and earth. According to Phesians. Won So don't just read

this and say, oh, Michael, that's Christ. In the book

of Jude the brother of Jesus, says Jesus Christ on

the back side of the book, Jesus Christ on the

front side of the book, and chiastically a structure moves

toward the middle. That tell us who Jesus is and

Michael is in the middle that time, shadris Michael. That's

Jesus Christ, God in angel form, God in human form.

He has three natures, God, angel and human. The Great

Prince was charge of your people. He's always been the

good shepherd. The Lord is my shepherd. Yeahwegh is my shepherd.

Jehopa is my shepherd. I shall not want well. Michael

is the shepherd. And there shall be a time of trouble.

So has never been since there was a nation until

that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered.

I like the next word. What does it say everyone

whose names should be found written in the book? Now,

when when God looks into a book, it is an active,

investigative judgment. He looks into book not to keep you

out of heaven, but to find your name there, define

you in Christ, to find that you belong to him

for the good of the universe. It's an open it's

an open investigation, so things will get pretty bad just

before the end, dear heart, and Jesus promises us that

he will be there to get us through to the

end if we abide in him. How many of you

want to get through this thing? Okay, I'm in that club.

The sixth Plague describes the assault of evil forces. It's

Satan's final attack on the people of God, just before

the end. We're going to focus in on the sixth

Plague and the rest of the message this morning. Certain

challenges are laid out in prophetic imagery just before the end,

and we are just before the end, so we better stand.

It turned to Revelation sixteen, verses twelve to seventeen as

our landing spot. The sixth Angel poured his bowl on

the great River Euphrates. Its water was dried up to

prepare the way for the kings from the east. Now,

the River Euphrates represents many nations and peoples. This is

born out in Revelations seventeen fifteen. And then just put

the verse on the screen, and he said to me,

the waters that you saw where the harlet is seated

are peoples in multitudes, and nations and kings. The ancient

city of Babylon was built over the river Euphrates. The

river Euphrates flowed through the city. You know, in time

Bablon isn't built on a literal river. It's built upon

a river made of people. People flow through that city

all the time, just like a river. So in time

Bablon's the Harlot Church, according to book Revelation, that is

built on seven hills. It says it in Revelation seventeen,

that has dominion of the kings of the earth. That

says that the end of Revelation said it is a

religious and political power at the time of the end.

It is a city, a religious city that is a

church state union at the end. Peter identified Rome as

Babylon in his day. It is in Revelation as well,

it is Rome reborn at the end that is politically active,

predicted in the book Revelation. Millions of people flow through

the Vatican City today, and there's a constant river of

humanity from all over the world every day, fulfilling Bible prophecy.

I've been there. I've watched buses, buses, they come and go,

they come and go. I was at Vatican when John

Paul was brought into for sainthood, and I was locked

into the Vatican, got a seat right next to the

Pope as he went by, and I couldn't believe it.

It was just an amazing thing. I was there for

a week, and I would highly recommend going to the

Vatican and going directly into the Vatican Museum. In the

section it has funeral boxes. There, you can see that

the apostasy starts right around the time of Constantine. It

moves from Bible imagery on burial boxes to pagan and

Bible imagery right around the time of Constantine. So I

know that what the Bible says is true because I've

been to Rome. I've seen that river of humanity flowing

through the Vatican. At the end, the Bible is saying

here that the peoples of the earth that support this

church system will be dried up. They will abandon it.

They will see Jesus coming, and they will realized that

they have been deceived to receive the mark of the Beast.

And ancient Babylon, Cyrus and Durias were the kings of

the East, and they dried up the river Euphrates so

they could take the city in a single night of

warfare and assault. Now the kings that are coming from

the east is God the Father, and God the Son,

and God the Holy Spirit. And they're coming, and the

waters will be dried up. The support of the peoples

of the earth will be withdrawn. When they see them coming,

terror will strike the world. Revelation one point seven says

he's behold, He's coming with clouds, and every eye was seeing,

and all the nations of the Athi morn because of him.

Even so Babylon fell in a single night, when the

party was viral and the alcohol was flowing. End time,

Bablon will fall just as suddenly, and in the same way.

In Revelation eighteen, the kings of the earth will eat

her body and burn her with fire just before Jesus returns.

That scene has described dramatically in the book Great Controversy.

I highly recommend you read the chapter God's People Delivered

and the material that follows Revelation sixteen thirteen fourteen. And

I saw issuing from the mouth of the dragon, from

the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of

the false prophet. How many foul spirits like frogs? What

does it say? Look at the Bible? Three? Okay, and

notice they're coming from three powers. We have a false

trinity here, an unholy alliance that takes the place of

God the Father. The dragon is a counterfeit God the Father,

false the beast is a counterfeit Jesus Christ, and the

false prophet is a counterfeit Holy Spirit. So we have

here a very clear picture of how Satan counterfeits that

which is true. And three foul spirits like frogs come out,

which are three evil angels? Look at verse fourteen, For

they are what kind of spirits? What does it say

in the Bible? They are demonic spirits performing signs, are,

in other words, their miracle working. That's the nature of this,

not Bible preaching teaching, but miracle working kind of things

who go abroad to the kings of the whole world

to gather them for a battle on the great Dead

of God the Almighty. Now in verse thirteen, which you

can pop it back to the verse, what do these

spirits look like? What does it say? Three foul spirits

like what frogs? Now? That's not an accidental use of imagery,

it's a deliberate use of imagery. In Revelation fourteen, God's

last intervention and warning to this world is given in

three angels messages, not three unclean spirits that look like frogs.

The First Angel is the proclamation of the Everlasting Gospel

in the context of the investigative judgment, where the hour

of God's judgments come with a loud voice. Worship Him

and made heaven and earth. It says, with an everlasting

Gospel goes to the world that was first preached shortly

after seventeen ninety eight, coming up to eighteen forty four. Globally,

the everlasting Apostolic Gospel, empowered by prophecy in the First

Angel's message in the eighteen hundreds went to the world,

and it's still going to the world now. It's no accident.

The Seventh day Adventist Church is the only people on

the face of earth proclaiming the Gospel in the context

of the prophecies of Daniel and the Judgment, and thus

the First Angel's message is not another church anywhere doing that.

Now there are people preaching the Gospel, but not in

the context of the judgment and a Bible prophecy. Now

Satan hates the gospel. Can you affirm that? Now? Do

you know what the gospel is Jesus three things, the

major core of it. Jesus died four this is in

one Corinthians fifteen, first three or four verses. Died for

our sins and accordings of scripture. He was buried and

then he was raised. He died for the penalty of sin.

He was buried to remove sin. He was raised, according

to Romans four twenty five, for our justification, which means

our acceptance with God. And Paul says, if we don't

give up that Gospel, we'll be saved. We hang to

a truth that's not based on feeling. It's based on

the Bible. So Satan hates the Gospel, but you know what,

he also hates the Book of Daniel. He hates the

Adventist Church. He hates men and women who are giving

glory to God by repenting, in turning to Jesus and

being converted to him. And he hates godly evangelicals and

others who are seeking after truth. Friends, if you can't

stand Bible prophecy, then that is a very good indicator

of what spirit controls you. Did you hear me? If

you disdain the prophetic word of God, then you can't

put up with the spirit of prophecy. The Bible says

the testimony of Jesus. Then you have a good idea

what spirit is motivating you? Were others who do that.

The second Angel's message is the proclamation that in time Babylon,

that is the Church of Rome and her daughters has

fallen Revelation seventeen. Bablin has daughters, so it's a system

Tech says fallen. Fallen is Bablon the Great in Revelation

fourteen eight. Friends, God expects people at the time and

the end to disconnect themselves from the teachings of Rome

that have compromised the Bible and that are at war

with God's law and the Gospel of Jesus. The Roman

system taught people that you're not saved to what Jesus

did for you, you're saved from what you do because

of it. And on that distinction, the Reformers died in

the flames. It opened up the Reformation when people discovered

they didn't have to climb their way to God, they

didn't have to prove themselves to God. That when Jesus

died on that cross, he died for their sins. And

Luther was freed. John Wesley was freed and the later

generation of the Reformers that would follow. And Wesley said,

my heart was strangely warmed when he read the preface

of Martin Luther's a commentary in the Book of Romans

and discovered the Gospel. Friends, God expects people at the

time of the end to disconnect themselves from anything that

would attack the Gospel and the Law of God, because

the Law of God is the character of God, of

which the Gospel is also a revelation. Fallen. Fallen is

Bablon the Great. The third Angel's message is the future

warning of the mark of the Beast, now that has

not yet been given it with a loud voice. Some

might think so, but no it hasn't. God says, if

anyone worships the Beast in his image and receives a

mark on his forehead or his hand, he will be

torn with fire and brimstone by the appearance of Jesus

and the Holy Angels. Heaven is not fully around here.

This is the Third Angel's message. Day Adventist Church was

raised up on the wings of Bible prophecy to proclaim

the third Angel's message. Can't do it if you're a

Sunday keeping Church, and I'll tell you why. But first

of all, this is the most dramatic and serious warning

in the Bible. The generation that will experience the mark

of the Beast test in the third Angel's message, it's

very clear is the last generation this world will ever see.

When that issue is in play, there will not be

another generation. Jesus is coming. Jesus comes shortly after the

mark of the Beast's test. It goes viral and global.

It engulfs the world divides it so the people of

God are on the right and the goats are on

the left. In Ezekiel twenty twelve and Ezekiel in Exodus

thirty one thirteen, God declares that the Sabbath is his

holy sign in mark of his eternal covenant, the Ten Commandments,

that he gave it Sinai, and that Jesus died to

its own. For it is not an optional commandment, it

is an essential commandment. He says, I gave them my

sabbath is to be a sign between me and them,

that they might know that I am the Lord Yahweh,

the Lord who sanctifies them. The knowledge of God, the

Covenant God is not preserved by smart theologians by lots

of books. Even teaching and preaching is preserved by relationship.

That the Sabbath maintains to the time of the end

is a sign and a mark that God is the

creator and the savior of the world. Jesus is the

lord of the Sabbath by his own confession, because Jesus

is God in human form, nothing less. Christ is the

creator and the savior we all need in life. We

are told in the Spirit of Prophecy that all the

fullness of the God had dwells in him. Agreeing with Paul,

Jesus is the Creator and savory. You won't get to

heaven without Jesus in your life. Do you realize that

you have a diminished Christ? Do you have a diminished self?

And Heaven wouldn't be worth anything to have without Jesus

in it. The Sabbath is a sign that we can

only rest in Jesus. In Revelation fourteen eleven, the worshippers

of the Beast have no rest day or night. The

Greek word is anapausus and is the Greek word for

sabbath rest. Directly placed in the middle of the third

Angel's message, it represents the spiritual sabbath rest we have

in Jesus, of which the seventh day is a sign

or a mark of God's covenant. Jesus uses it in

the Great Invitation in Matthew eleven twenty eight, the same

word let's look at it Matthew eleven twenty eight down

verse thirty, come to me. It doesn't say, come to

the sabbath. Come to me, all you who labor and

are heavy laden, and I will give you anapausus rest,

sabbath rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,

for I am gentle and luly in heart, and you

will find sabbath rest and apousies for your souls. From

my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Sabbath

rest is Jesus rest. That's why Jesus is the lord

of the Sabbath. The yoke is his law in the context,

and he is in control of your life when you

under a relationship of obedience and faith to him. He

does not drive you with the yoke, he doesn't force you.

He leads you, and he cares about you and for you.

That is the sabbath rest kind of savior we have.

He is gentle and humble and lowly of heart, and

that is why you can trust Jesus with your life

and your future. I don't know about you. Want to

raise my hand, I want to trust Jesus. I choose

to renew that right now. I raise my hand. I

need Jesus. I can't cause myself to rest. I can't

deal with my fears and worries on my own. Nor

can't you come unto me. All you who are heavy

laden and labor, and I will give you rest. When

the third Angel's message will present the mark of the

Beast warning to the world, A people will form at

last who are ready for the second coming of the Lord,

and they are described clearly in Revelation fourteen twelve. Here

is the patience of the saints. You ever been in

patient in your life? No? Yeah, you have got to

hang in there with God. You don't go by how

things look. You go by whether or not you're faithful.

Here is the patience of the saints. Here are those

who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Friends.

Satan hates the three angels messages because he will do

everything he can to keep men and women from obedience

to God's law and faith in Jesus, that are the

twin characteristics of a saved, purified people. The time of

the end, at the very end, Satan will counterfeit the

Three Angels messages through the modern charismatic movement. And I

said that I meant to be very clear about it.

Through the modern charismatic movement to produce a false Holy

Spirit movement that is disobedient the law of God, the Sabbath,

and the Gospel. The modern charismatic movement has forged a

union with Roy. The modern charismatic movement has denied the

essentials of the Apostolic Gospel affirmed in the Reformation. It

is a movement based on feeling, not scripture. And God

would have a stand on the Bible. Our feelings change

because of truth, not because of feelings. And the Bible

is clear he does not give his Holy Spirit to

those who disobey him. So the movement is not a

true Holy Spirit movement. A false gospel that is about

your feelings, not about what Jesus done for you on

the cross. Is no good news gospel at all. A

counterfeit of the Three Angels messages. Who will be the

three unclean spirits? And what do they look like. I

asked you, what do they look like frogs? Now, look,

frogs jump around a lot, Frogs stick their tongues out

and have a gibberish sound, and frogs make a lot

of noise. But the frogs in Revelation sixteen do not

surrender to the truth of God's law and to the

gospel that is the modern charismatic movement. Revelation sixteen thirteen

I saw issuing from the mouth of the dragon, for

the mouth of the beast, and from the mouth of

the false prophet, three foul spirits like frogs, for they

are demonic spirits. And don't think for a minute when

someone gets up and feels real emotional and once did

that means the Holy Spirit's there. You know how the

Holy Spirit is in a person's life if they have

the fruits of the spirit, and one of those is obedience,

is a surrender to God's will in God's word. So

it calls them three foul spirits like frogs, not three

angels messages, for they are demonic spirits performing signs, who

go abroad to the kings of the whole world to

assemble them for the battle of the Great Day of God.

The Almighty. He describes this movement as a politically active movement.

At the time of the end, these three counterfeit spirits

that oppose the three Angels, messages, and God's people will

appeal to the state by going out to the kings

of the earth to assemble them to make war on

God's people. The Greek word for a symbol is synegon.

They will synagogue the political leaders together to make war

on the faithful church through in the church. At this point,

Jesus focuses on two churches of the seven Churches of

Revelation that are at risk of becoming part of the

Synagogue of Satan at the time of the end. Turn

with me to Revelations sixteen fifteen. Here's what breaks into

the mix. As Jesus describes this, lo, I am coming

like a thief. Blessed is he who is? What? What

does it say? Awake? And then the second one keeping

his garments that he may not go naked and be exposed.

Now the sleeping church of the seven churches the Church

of Sardes, and the church that has no white garment

because it's naked is the Church of lay TOESEA Christ

is focusing on two of the churches of the seven Churches.

The seven churches in order represent the history of the

Christian Church to the time of the end. Sardes, the

first church is in serious trouble just before Jesus returns.

It's Church number five. It is the sleeping church of

the post Reformation era that has the name of being alive,

but it's really dead. It's not really evangelical when it

should be. It is asleep because it does not understand

the Book of Daniel, in the Book of Revelation. It

has adopted a view of prophecy which came out of

the counter Reformation, where it throws everything in the future,

and it doesn't pay attention to the unfolding prophetic time

and the issue of the Sabbath and other issues in

prophetic time. And so it's asleep and it needs got

the prophecies to better get a grip on the Gospel.

And you know, it hasn't aligned the Gospel with obedience

to God's law. Therefore it's the gospel is not correct.

It believes in one saint always say, mostly speaking in

predestination in many places, so much so that you don't

have to maintain and reliving in bidying and walk with Jesus.

Just say I believe, and then do whatever you want

to do, and your garments don't have to stay white.

Now they don't say it like that, that's the outcome.

I grew up in a church tradition where my stepfather

was a preacher, and you know, not a good one.

I must admit faithful to God or to us. But

I'm not trying to be harsh about that fact. But

it's a reality. Nonetheless, I remember distinctly one day telling

him I'm not once saved, always saved. He says, what

do you mean? I say, I want to be saved

if I have a relationship with Christ. But he said, well,

what do you mean? I said, I'm not once saved,

always saved because I'm not chained to the true of life.

I'm not bound for glory. I'm free to choose. God

doesn't violate my right to choose. Most in Sardists have

soiled their garments, but if you have not, Jesus admonishes

the Church of Sardis to remember the judgment of Daniels seven,

when he will confess the names of his people before

his father and the angels just before he returns so

the vast majority of the Christian world do not believe

in a prehabit judgement. He said, why does God need that?

And so on? Friends, Because the same Savior who took

our place on the cross represents us in the judgment.

We need it. It's it's the outflowing of the Gospel.

It's not at war with the Gospel. Relation three five.

Jesus says, he who conquers shall be clad thus in

white garments. And then he's speaking about the investigative judgment.

He on Sabbath, I will not blot his name out

of the book of Life. I will confess his name

but for my Father and for his angels. How many

of you want Jesus to represent you in the judgment?

My hands are going up, dear heart, you cannot be

awake unless you are in the Bible and you are

studying the Gospel and the prophecies together. At the time

of the end, it's impossible. Surrendered people with white robes

will be ready for the sudden coming of Jesus. Now,

I'm going to tell you something. I know that God

has millions of godly Christians outside of this movement who

are faithful to the life. They have Revelation seven. It

calls them the servants of God who do not yet

have the Seal of God on their foreheads. The seal

is the Sabbath seal. It's the mark and sign and

seal of God's covenant. And these dear people, if they

knew what we know today as Seventh Day abdist they

would be dangerous for the cause of God on earth.

They would start a chain reaction that would bring Christ

back quickly. And that day is coming. We have been

given great opportunities since the year eighteen forty four as

a movement. God's not going to sit here and just

act like it's okay. There will come a day when

there will be a great awakening in the Christian world

based on the proclamation of the Mark of the Beast,

warning but surrendered people with white robes. We learned this

in the Church of Sardis will be ready for the

saying coming of Jesus. Not bar attending Saints, did you

hear me? Not bar attending Saints, not movie enamored Saints,

not ballgame fawning Saints, who glorying halftime morality and rock

music and the frenzy of the competition between teams who

need Jesus in their lives instead of alcohol and the

like and the party spirit. Not money loving, greedy saints

who won't turn a faithful tie or give generously the

church to advance the cause of God's Gospel on earth.

Not world loving saints who look to politicians for their

hope and future instead of Jesus Christ as our leader.

I don't care who's the present I'm going to pray

for you, be it a Democrat or Republican, because guess

who's my leader, Jesus. Not mean saints. You see, they

can be mean saints, not mean saints who really don't

admire the kind and lowly Savior who's humble, who loves

every person, poor or rich, saint or sinner, doesn't matter

what church they're in, white or black, red or yellow,

as if there was no other person in the face

of the whole earth. Yeah, I want to be in

a church for people like Jesus or kind. Jesus is

coming for those dear saints who keep their garments white,

who are await, waiting for their Lord's return. I have

learned over the last twenty years just how precious the

evangelical world is. In many places, those that have not

soiled their garments. Doctor David Ruhlman, who died recently, is

one of the great people in my life. He was

a Sabbath keeper, didn't understand our prophetic message, did not

understand our view of the stay of the dead, but

he understood Jesus. He knew I loved Jesus, and he's

my brother, and I look to see him in the

resurrection on the last day. I think of Daniel Moyer's parents,

who are of like character, godly Christians in their faith context,

who are just trying. They're watching us and others, but

good people. There are so many of them out there,

and they are waiting to understand and to hear. When

the cries he strikes, it's when these things will become

clearer now. The second Church, the church's first church was Sartists,

presents the evangelical Christian sleeping world at the time of

the end. The second Church that Jesus singles out in

the sixth Plague is the seventh church of the seven churches.

It's the Church of lay to Sea that is naked

just before the end. Lay to sea means in Greek

people of justice, lay to see. It represents a very

socially active church at the time of the end that

does a lot of good things in the world for

the sake of social justice and the like. Lad to

see it represents unconverted Seventh Day Adventism promoting causes that

are not God's causes. So you thought I was just

talking about the evangelical world. The most severe rebuke comes

to the latest Sea In Church, not to the evangelical world.

The sea In Church is the seventh Church in the

Book of Revelation because it's the Seventh Day Adventist church,

a Sabbath keeping church at the time of the end

that is financially prosperous. Now some dash church is also

the Church of Philadelphia, two of them, but at the

very in the Philadelphia experience is the minor experience. It's

not the major experience among God's people. It is a

Seventh Day Right Day Saturday keeping church at the time

of the End, that as a movement is pervasively bereft

of the righteousness of Jesus Christ, even though it has

received great opportunities in its history. Jesus says that it's

naked and full of shame and blind to its own shame.

In ancient Israel, the name Molik was given to the

demon god to which Israel offered their children to Satan

by sacrifice. Malik has the Hebrew consonants for Melic. We

get the word mokezida, king of righteousness. It means king.

It has the Hebrew vowels for bouchet, which means shame.

It's intentional. Malik was the king of shame in this

way as the demon god of child sacrifice. Lady Sea

has shame. No hospital or health care institution that takes

the name of Jesus or the name of Abe. And

this has a Bible right to sacrifice even one of

God's dear children to Satan like Psalm's onner and Sick

says ancient Israel did when they sacrifice their children to demons.

I'm sorry, the Bible condemns this. This is a covenant

deal breaker with God. It brought ruin to the people

of God. Then it brings ruin to whoever goes along

with it. Now, I'm a granddad. How many of your

granddads or parents here, granddads, how many of you have

babies on the way? You know I have been fortunate

enough to guess before I was told that my son's

wife is pregnant two times in a row. He says, Dad,

how did you know? I says, I'm cosmically connected to

the child of the woe. That's how I know. And

I just told him a few weeks ago. I know.

He said, how do you know? I do? He says, well,

it's true. So we're gonna have a second grandchild on

the way. Now, I'm gonna tell you that grandchild isn't coming.

Child is here in the womb of his mother, which

is a holy temple to protect that child until it

is born. And we see what God sees. David says,

I was knit together in my mother's womb. And I'm

telling you when a person or a movement or any

individual advocates the destruction of a child for silly reasons

other than medical intervention to save the life of a mother,

and that's not abortion, that's simply saving life. As best

you can deal with the hand like an a topic pregnancy,

there's no place for any church anywhere to take the

child of any child that God has brought into his mind.

Lukewarm Christians don't care about children in this way. Lukewarm

Christians believe that it's okay to these kinds of things

for the sake of religious liberty, as if killing children

is a religious right. And then you write back to

the molok stuff the very ideas in a bomba nation

to God, killing children unborn or born is not a

religious right, and it's not a matter of conscience. It

is wrong because Jesus loves all the children of the world.

How does the song go. Jesus loves the little child,

all the children of the world, red and yellow, little

black and white. They are precious in his side. Jesus

loves the little children of the world, and so should

the remnant church. Jesus says to lay to sea that

he wishes that it was either cold or hot. But

this lukewarm, plain church kind of thing that allows evil

to continue will be shut down by Jesus decisively when

the mark of the Beast test hits. If you want

to read a description of this, go to the book

Great Controversy, the chapter of the Final Warning. She lays

it out. She says, a large class that professed faith

in the Third Angels Message that have not been sanctified

by obedience the truth men of pleasing address, will become

the fiercest opposers of God's truth and the proclamation of

the final warning. Jesus says, I will spit you out

of my mouth if you don't repent. The latency in

church claims to be rich and increased with goods, with

all its institutions, all its good social work, and the

work world with address and other things, with all its

accomplishments and health care, and the list is long. And

these things can be good, and they are good. It's

the attitude that's wrong. The latesty in church boasts that

is rich and increase with goods and needs nothing. Dear heart,

it needs Jesus desperately. We need Jesus desperately. You know

I I have. I never will forget the day when

doctor David Ruhlman at WAVA brought me into his office.

I think your dad was there, Daniel. I can't remember,

but I think he was there with him. He confronted

me about the abuses that have occurred in some of

our hospitals at Shady Grove and Washington Adventist, and I said,

it's not in our theology. Abortion is contrary to the

theology of our church. Our Bible teachers do not teach

this seminary professors are not advocated. He says, well, you

need to take your name off of those hospitals if

they're doing it. I said, I can't argue with that,

but he says, I can guarantee you one thing. I

told him that in our early history, Ellen White wrote

alongside of others who posed this. Even though she Heersft

didn't write the articles, she was in the works that did,

and she was in very close connection to this. In fact,

James White was vigorous against it all of the early pioneers.

It wasn't until the nineteen seventies that slipped into this

church through administrators who were working with three prominent clergymen

who helped to bring it in to certain the hospitals.

Highly opposed by people of conscience in our church who

are following the word of God, and it should be

opposed to this day. And Jesus says the latest Sea

that you need gold tried in the fire. You need

me desperately because you're not thinking right. You can't even

reason from the scriptures correctly anymore. He says to the

latest Sea, you need gold tried in the fire, which

is faith under fire and trial. And the golden lion

of the tribe of Judah, who has conquered Who's the

real gold in the book Revelation, A christ centered people

don't think this way. Latest Sea needs Holy Spirit, I

saf and yet many today don't even believe the Holy

Spirit's a person. To receive the Holy Spirit. The false Trinity,

the Dragon, the Beast, and the false Prophet are presented

clearly in the sixth Plague. Because there is a true trinity,

the Father of the Son and the Holy Spirit, whose

name we are baptized in the Three Heavenly Worthies, as

Sister White calls them, who are one affirming one John

five to seven, and Latest Sea is naked with no

white robe of righteousness. Latest Sea, it means people of justice.

And yet the greatest love call to all the seven

churches comes to Laiazea. Friends, it doesn't matter if you

are a liberal drunk on social justice issues or a

conservative enamored with just actions and justice requirements of the

law to tain some kind of end time perfection. The

disease is the same. It is nakedness before God. If

you rely on you, if it's all about you and

not about Jesus, if you rely on your progressive social

justice good works or your conservative moral good works, and

you don't have Jesus, you lose it all. Christ is

calling out to his church, the Seventh Church, the Church

of Ladista, the Seventh Church, to repent, and he gets

zealous about a relationship with them. By putting on that

white robe of Christ's righteousness to take away the nakedness,

so that he can come into the church. The church

can come to him and he can go home. He

can he can awaken that church to usher in the

Second Coming and Revelation. In three nineteen, it says those

whom I look at the verse with me, those whom

I want I love. And what does he say next?

I reprove and chasten, be zealous and repent. Behold, I

stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my

voice and opens the door, I will come in to

him and eat with him, and he with me. This

is a love call. He who conquers, I want to conquer.

There's a lot in me that needs conquering. I want

to be a conquering Christian. He who conquers, I will

grant him to sit with me on my throne as

I myself conquered, and sit down with my Father on

his throne. The door that Jesus knocks on our eyes

and ears, the windows of the soul that opens the

heart to him. When you hear and see, use those eyes.

Let I say, open your eyes. He has an ear,

lettinghi hear. Let God open your ears to draw closer

to Jesus on his terms and not your terms. So

you can have fellowship with Him in his word, fellowship

with him in prayer, and fellowship with him in service

to others for his name's sake, and not your own glame,

your own glory or fame, for Jesus sake. And then

the works of God will really matter. Then what we

do will shine. Then Christ will be seen in all

revelations sixteen sixteen seventeen. And they assembled them literally, they

synagogue them at the place which is called in Hebrew armageddon.

Any group of people at the time of the end

who refuse to beg God's law, who reject the warm

with the mark of the beast, or who refuse the

righteousness of Christ the white robe, or who refuse the

admonition of Bible prophecy, eventually become what the book Relation

calls the synagogue of Satan. I want to be in

the Church of God. I don't want to be in

a synagogue of Satan. They assembled them, They synagogue them

together in a place which is called in Hebrew harmageddon.

Now that word harmageddon in Hebrew comes from the word Harmoe.

It means mountain of the Assembly. It's coming from Isaiah

when Lucifer says, I will put my throne above the

stars of God in the mountain of the Assembly. I

will be God. See when we leave God behind, we

join the one who wants to be God. Verse seventeen.

The seventh Angel pour his bowl into the air, and

a loud voice came out of the temple from heaven, saying,

it is done. When did Jesus say that at the Cross?

But he said it before at creation with the Sabbath,

it is finished. At the Cross he reaffirmed it, and

the seventh Plague he will say it again. It is done. Friend.

The end is coming. It is coming, and one day

soon it will be here. God, bless and keep you

in Jesus. I'm praying for me, not just you, that

I will not be deceived. It is so easy to

just go along and not to stand for what is

right and true in our time. But God bless you

and keep you in Jesus for that day, awake and clothed,

and the righteousness of Jesus our Savior. And never forget

that we are living where just before the end, and

it should make a difference. God bless you, dear Heavenly Father.

Thank you for Jesus, for the testimony of Jesus to

the seven Churches, for his love call at the time

of the end, to all our brothers and sisters in

the evangelical Christian world, and to us. The most in

need is us. We're the ones holding up the coming

of the Lord, not that. And Lord, I just pray

that you will allow events in our lives to be

such that we will rightly present truth without watering it down,

but at the same time, Lord, keeping it focused. We

not to be in the faith of Jesus. And Lord,

I just pray that no one will walk out of

here feeling that somehow we're better than somebody else. That's

the problem of lay to see it. We're not. We're

the most in need. So Lord help us save us.

There are souls all around us dying because they need

the truth. For our time and they need love with it.

May they have both from this Church in all our lives.

Thank you that we're living just before the end. Thank

You that Jesus is the alpha end, the omega of

the end. Bless your people and Lord. Just before I

end this prayer, so every head is bowed, and you

feel that the coming of Christ is near, and you

want to be ready, and you know you need to

surrender the Lord. Just raise your hand, say I choose Jesus. Now,

I choose a full surrender. I need help. I'm weak.

It's me, Lord, I'm not even I'm not looking out there.

I'm praying to you, Father, take all those hands and

hearts and bind them to yours and save us rap

us tight for the coming of the Lord. And our

weakness be our strength. And thank you for hearing this

prayer in Jesus name. Amen,
