REVELATION CHAPTER 14
These messages will bring us out of the bondage of Babylon, will resurrect us from spiritual death and will give us wisdom to stay in the last days.
I. FEAR GOD
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FEAR GOD? 1. PSALMS 111:10 have wisdom HOW TO GET WISDOM? JAMES 1:5 ask from God 2 TIMOTY 3:16 from Bible DANIEL 12:9-10 the wise will understand the time 1 CRONICLES 12:32 to know what to do 1 KINGS 3:9 to make difference from good and evil 2. PROVERBS 8:13 hate evil WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU HATE SOMETHING? PSALMS 101:3 you dont put it in front of you PROVERBS 16:6 you run from it 3. DEUTORONOMY 6:2 keep my commandments HOW CAN YOU KEEP THEM? EXODUS 20:18,20 having the in front of you eyes PSALMS 119:47 I love you (The young man tells to the young lady) JOHN 14:15 if you love me you keep my commandment 4. GENESIS 22:10-12 do everything God asks you to do Patriarchs and Prophets, 153 Abraham's great act of faith stands like a pillar of light, illuminating the pathway of God's servants in all succeeding ages. Abraham did not seek to excuse himself from doing the will of God. During that three days' journey he had sufficient time to reason, and to doubt God, if he was disposed to doubt. He might have reasoned that the slaying of his son would cause him to be looked upon as a murderer, a second Cain; that it would cause his teaching to be rejected and despised; and thus destroy his power to do good to his fellow men. He might have pleaded that age should excuse him from obedience. But the patriarch did not take refuge in any of these excuses. Abraham was human; his passions and attachments were like ours; but he did not stop to question how the promise could be fulfilled if Isaac should be slain. He did not stay to reason with his aching heart. He knew that God is just and righteous in all His requirements, and he obeyed the command to the very letter. WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DONT FEAR GOD? 2 KINGS 17:25 we will have problems with lions ECCLESIASTES 12:13,14 we will be judged
WHAT HAPPENS IF I HAVE JUST ONE SIN UNCONFESSED? EZEKIEL 18:24 all righteousness is not remembered ACTS 3:19 Repent and the sins a blotted out ST, May 16, 1895 The record of every life is written in the books of heaven. Every sin that has been committed is there registered. Every regret for sin, every tear of repentance, every confession of guilt, and the forsaking of every darling sin, is also recorded. When the judgment shall sit and the books are opened, every case will have to stand the test of the law of God When sin has been repented of, confessed, and forsaken, then pardon is written against the sinner's name; but his sins are not blotted out until after the investigative judgment. 4
PSALMS 116:15 precious is the death of His saints. Great Controversy, 664 There are kings and generals who conquered nations, valiant men who never lost a battle, proud, ambitious warriors whose approach made kingdoms tremble. In death these experienced no change. As they come up from the grave, they resume the current of their thoughts just where it ceased. They are actuated by the same desire to conquer that ruled them when they fell. FROM WHO STARTS THIS JUDGMENT? REVELATION 11:18 from the dead in Christ, and then wicked dead. 1 PETER 4:17 from us (SDA) EZEKIEL 9:6 from the elders, leaders Dead in Christ Begin in 1844 Dead wicked Living in Christ Living wicked Close of probation
WHEN THE JUDGMENT IS FINISHED? REVELATION 22:12 before Jesus 2nd Coming REVELATION 15:8 before the seven plagues close of probation, no mediator SHOULD WE FEAR THE JUDGMENT? HEBREW 4:14-16 Jesus is our mediator ROMANS 8:1 no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus
HOW THIS PHARMAKEIA COMES TO OUR MIND? ACTS 8:11 trough a witch or Medium, and the plural for is Media NOTE: CARDINAL OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, CARLO BENVENUTO, THE LEADER OF HOLY INQUISITION published in Vatican post for OPUS DEI. 21 Methods to stop the growth of Seventh Day Adventist Church 1. We will enter in Adventist homes trough Music and TV, using the things, which will grasp the attention of their youth and adolescents, as we did in Mexico by presenting the Serial Movie REBELDE. 6. We will distribute CDs and DVDs with music, which contains Christian verses, but very much rhythmic. The youth will like it. 13. Movies are our work shops, many Adventists are missing from their religious services for not loosing the last portion of the serial movie. When you begin to discuses with them about movie they are your prisoners. 16. We are not recommending to you to talk with the people who are studying the Bible concerning Last Day Events. Also do not speak with the people who are respecting the writing of that old American lady Ellen G. White. 19. In the past was hard to make a difference between and Adventist lady and a common one, today they are like us. By fashion is very easy to get them. In the past they were running from modernism today they have introduced it in the church. DID ELLEN G. WHITE WRITE ABOUT THESE THINGS? 2 Selected Messages, 37, 38 The Holy Spirit has nothing to do with such a confusion of noise and multitude of sounds as passed before me last January. Satan works amid the din and confusion of such music, which, properly conducted, would be praise and glory to God. He makes its effect like the poison sting of the serpent. Those things, which have been in the past, will be in the future. Satan will make music a snare by the way in which it is conducted. God calls upon His people, who have the light before them in the Word and in the Testimonies, to read and consider, and to take heed. Clear and definite instruction has been given in order that all may understand. Adventist Home, 516 There is no influence in our land more powerful to poison the imagination, to destroy religious impressions, and to blunt the relish for the tranquil pleasures and sober realities of life than theatrical amusements. The love for these scenes increases with every indulgence as the desire for intoxicating drink strengthens with its use. Messages To Young People, 359 Having before us the picture of the world's demoralization upon the point of fashion, how dare professed Christians follow in the path of the world ling? Shall we appear to sanction these demoralizing fashions by adopting them? Many do adopt the fashions of the world, but it is because Christ is not formed within them, the hope of glory. Luxurious living, extravagant dressing, is carried to such an extent as to constitute one of the signs of the last days. JOSHUA 7:21 but I like it 8
SHALL WE LEAVE THE CANDLESTICK OR THE SDA CHURCH? HEBREW 10:25 to help them or let them leave. The people in the Church they might not be right or worldly but the Church still has the foundation. In Gods Church were always people who had the system of Babylon but He continued to work with the Church. If you read the Spirit of Prophesy you will se that: 2 Selected Messages, 380 The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. 1 Selected Messages, 179 You will take passages in the Testimonies that speak of the close of probation, of the shaking among God's people, and you will talk of a coming out from this people of a purer, holier people that will arise. Now all this pleases the enemy. We should not needlessly take a course that will make differences or create dissension. We should not give the impression that if our particular ideas are not followed, it is because the ministers are lacking in comprehension and in faith, and are walking in darkness. 2 Selected Messages, 63, 68 The Lord has not given you a message to call the Seventh-day Adventists Babylon, and to call the people of God to come out of her. All the reasons you may present cannot have weight with me on this subject, because the Lord has given me decided light that is opposed to such a message Again I say, The Lord hath not spoken by any messenger who calls the church that keeps the commandments of God, Babylon. True, there are tares with the wheat; but Christ said He would send His angels to first gather the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into the garner I warn the Seventh-day Adventist Church to be careful how you receive every new notion and those who claim to have great light. The character of their work seems to be to accuse and to tear down. WHAT SHELL WE DO THEN? ROMANS 12:1-2 come out of philosophy of Babylon but not from the Church PHILIPPIANS 4:8 look for the pure things

DID ELLEN G. WHITE KNOW ABOUT THIS? ST, May 6, 1897 History will be repeated. False religion will be exalted. The first day of the week, a common working day, possessing no sanctity whatever, will be set up as was the image at Babylon. All nations and tongues and peoples will be commanded to worship this spurious Sabbath. This is Satan's plan to make of no account the day instituted by God, and given to the world as a memorial of creation. The decree enforcing the worship of this day is to go forth to all the world. In a limited degree, it has already gone forth. In several places the civil power is speaking with the voice of a dragon, just as the heathen king spoke to the Hebrew captives. Trial and persecution will come to all who, in obedience to the Word of God, refuse to worship this false Sabbath. Force is the last resort of every false religion. At first it tries attraction, as the king of Babylon tried the power of music and outward show. If these attractions, invented by men inspired by Satan, failed to make men worship the image, the hungry flames of the furnace were ready to consume them. So it will be now. 7 Bible Commentary, 976 The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided... This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who proved their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious Sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday Sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast. Letter 90, 1897 The Protestant world have set up an idol Sabbath in the place where God's Sabbath should be, and they are treading in the footsteps of the Papacy. For this reason I see the necessity of the people of God moving out of the cities into retired country [places], where they may cultivate the land and raise their own produce. Thus they may bring their children up with simple, healthful habits. I see the necessity of making haste to get all things ready for the crisis. 11
WHAT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST? In the Bible you can find the word mark associated with the words like: sign of seal. In the Bible the people were using marks to declare their possession or authority over something. WHAT IS GODS MARK OR SIGN? EXODUS 31:13; EZEKIEL 20:12 Sabbath EZEKIEL 12:11; 20:20 reveals God character, creator WHERE GOD WILL PUT HIS CHARACTER? REVELATION 7:3; 14:1 in the forehead WHAT IS MARK OF THE BEAST? American Catholic Quarterly Review January 1883 Duminica este curat creaiune a Bisericii Catolice Monsignor Louis Segar , Plain talk about the Protestantism of Today pag. 213 Pzirea Duminicii de ctre protestani, este taxa pltit de ei, pentru autoritatea Bisericii Catolice... Catholic church Santinel, May 31, 1968 Oamenii care gndesc c Biblia trebuie s fie singura autoritate, ar trebui logic s devin Adventiti de Ziua a aptea i s pzeasc Smbta. The Catholic mirror, December 23, 1893 Motivul sau sensul comun al acestora este acceptarea Uneia sau celeilalte alternative: Protenstantismul care ine Smbta, ori Catolicizmul care ine Duminica. Compromisul este imposibil. Cardinal Gibbons, The Faith without Fathers, 92 nd er. ed. (Baltimore) Putei citi Biblia de la Geneza pn la Apocalipsa, i nu vei gsi o singur linie care s autorizeze sfinirea Duminicii. Scriptura impune observaii religioase despre Smbt, Ziua care noi niciodat nu am sfinit-o. Letter, October 28, 1895 from C. F. Thomas Chancelor of Cardinal Gibbons Desigur Biserica Catolic afirm c schimbarea a fost lucrul ei... i acest lucru este SEMNUL puterii nceptoare i autoritii religioase. WHY ON FOREHEAD AND HAND? REVELATION 13:15-17 willingly deceived forehead; against the will but because the death decree on hand WHAT IS THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF GOD? REVELATION 16:1 seven plagues EZEKIEL 7:1-9 for abominations WHO ARE THESE SAINTS? EZEKIEL 9:1-6 in the time of trouble they have the mark of God Day-Star, March 14, 1846 Just before we entered it [the time of trouble], we all received the seal of the living God. Then I saw the four angels cease to hold the four winds. And I saw famine, pestilence and sword, nation rose against nation, and the whole world was in confusion. 12
