Really?

While you are correct about Rev. 14:7 not being about the IJ, your response was ambiguous; did it refer to the thread which I referenced or the Bible text?

So, since you're so free with advice here's some for you: learn how to structure an English sentence.

Perhaps you should go back to reread my post and see what I actually said instead of trusting the comments as to what people have read into my post. There are things that the LORD wants us to understand and the Laodicean mindset is so ingrained in some of us that we won't look at anything because of a fear of getting something wrong, then we won't be ready to go forward by faith. And we may be too ready to join the accuser of the brethren.

It is the time of the final shaking. Surely from some of the comments posted the LORD will not have a difficult time to see who is a skeptic and who is a Bible student.


In the parable of the 10 virgins some slumbered and some slept. Studying those words some dosed off and some died. The dozing virgins can awake in time, the dead virgins won't awaken until the resurrection. Too late to meet the Bride Groom.

To those who tried to enter into a reasoning together conversation, I thank you. To those who criticized and merely found fault without trying to uplift Jesus, I pity you.

I am a student of the Bible. I try to understand it and I study with prayer and an open mind. And the LORD has blessed my study, though I like John the Baptist who did not understand everything clearly went forward with what he did understand. After he proclaimed that Jesus was the Lamb of God, he sent messengers to Jesus to ask if He was the Messiah. There are somethings that we know and we need confirmation.

What, pray tell, was the March 4 "super blessing"?

There are times that one can only laugh. Just laugh. That's all.

You should be aware, that ALL time prophecies are conditional with respect to time. God reserves the right to change His mind; and those who speak so definitively saying, "Watch out for March 4 at precisely 12:43 pm and 21.876 seconds ...!" have fallen into the ditch. Shall the pottery say to the potter, "What handle have you made? It is not according to specifications!"

But though the rug is pulled from under a man, he gets up, dusts himself off and says, "That was supposed to happen." Pride goes before a fall, and he who kills his own conscience is as good as dead.

On March 9, 2019, "Green" replied to the post from Hch. Now Hch is examining what Green replied:

Ellen White clearly states that there will be no time prophecy giving the date of Christ's advent. She contrasts the world's view of ALL TIME PROPHECY to time prophecy relating specifically to Christ's second Advent. Thus "Green" is making Ellen White contradict herself. Hch has shown this by quoting EGW that the 1260 years were fulfilled between 538-1798 and before she died, EGW places ALL OF REVELATION 13 in the future (after 1844), which included the 42 months as evidenced by her writing out that very text by long hand.

Those who quote EGW, need to quote her correctly. The traditions that have crept into the SDA Church are making EGW say what she doe not say. And thus you are teaching the commandments of men in contradiction to the word of God.

They may think it a better mind and a better judgment; but they are not to exchange this judgment for that of another man. Place your will and mind where the Holy Spirit can reach it; for it will not work on another man's mind and conscience to reach yours. But these whom it was thought had pure religious principles, have shown themselves too ready to give up their own religion for that of another man. {1888 1592.3}

Who are God's messengers?

Quote:
For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he [is] the messenger of the LORD of hosts. Malachi 2:7


I have presented this evidence in the past and more. The issue is obedience to the revealed will of God.

Prior to Christ coming; man as a priest foreshadowed the role of Christ in our salvation. After Christ fulfilled the law, the law was changed as it is written in Hebrews. The changed law had priests from Aaron's line and Jesus from the tribe of Judah. There is no indication in Scripture that the changed law allows just any man Jew, Greek, or gentile to be a priest. But we allow any man to be a priest/minister. The only qualification that man has added to the change in the law is that the priest/minister be a man.

But Christ, the prince of the kings of the earth, has already made His people kings and priests unto God (cf Revelation 1:6). And when His people get to heaven (5:10) they will have that role. Are only men qualified to be kings and priests? Are only men going to be in heaven? Absurd!

As Christ has fulfilled the law of circumcision, He has fulfilled the law of male priesthood and women, who are called may heed their calling.

The whole matter centers here. Obedience means eternal life; disobedience means eternal death. Error never becomes truth, though it may be hoary with age. Then shall intelligent beings decide that in this world, to which Satan was banished as an exile, God has given the rebel what he claimed and failed to gain in heaven? Shall the professed Christian churches change leaders, taking a "Thus saith Satan" in the place of a "Thus saith the Lord"? {RH, August 9, 1898 par. 12}

When there is so much at stake, why do not those who claim to be God's delegated messengers go to the Word of life, and make honest, wise, prayerful research, saying, We will know what saith the Lord in this matter? If the search is undertaken in the spirit of Christ, it will be awarded. But if the teachers of the people echo the words of the great apostate, it will be found to their shame and ruin; and they will carry with them those whom they have deceived, as Satan in his rebellion carried out of the heavenly courts those who accepted his words instead of the words of God. {RH, August 9, 1898 par. 13}

Sin lies at the door of those who do not allow their ignorance to be expelled by the rays of light from God's word. They are doing what the Jews did in the days of Christ,--teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. By their actions they say, We do not wish to be disturbed. Let us alone. Do not disturb our peace. To God's messengers, sent to them with words of warning and reproof, they say, "Art thou he that troubleth Israel?" {RH, August 9, 1898 par. 14}

But from whom did the rebukes come? Whose pen recorded those messages?

Be careful, "lest haply ye be found even to fight against God."

While you were watching 4 March 2019, did you see this?

https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2019...ce-in-politics/

Do you see the contrasting parallels?

General conference in session dictating who cannot be ordained to serve God (limiting God's work on earth) and 1335 days later: The pope telling his followers how to gain political influence (to extend Catholic influence in Latin America).

The image beast is forming behind the scenes and political movements are hindering the work of God.

Wow! you said we didn't read your March 4 prophesy correctly, --you said on March 4, the Lord blessed you! Imagine! A Bible time prophecy just for you!
I want to know, and this is asked with respect, but, how does God give you these messages? Do you hear voices?

Yeah. Today is going to be a Biblically predicted event of great disaster. Tomorrow, I say I lost my pencil.

I was talking about the judgment portion. Notice it comes before the fall of Babylon. Verse nine says "third angel followed". This indicates there were two previous ones. In sequence. The fall happens after the judgment.

But you seem to want to talk about Babylon.

What do you say is Babylon and can you give support from Revelation?

Why did you take out the judgment of God in order to impose your own interpretation of what the judgment was? Here was the judgment:

  • "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." Rev. 14:6-13
     
  • NOTICE THE JUDGMENT: THE WRATH OF GOD POURED OUT FULL STRENGTH INTO THE CUP OF HIS INDIGNATION!!!!!!!!!
     
  • In other words, Babylon, instead of advancing the worship of God, was colluding with the Beast and in fierce anger forcing others to worship the Image. For that reason, Babylon "was fallen" --- and the hour of God's judgment against that city had come.

Do SDA consider themselves to be BABYLON THE GREAT MOTHER OF HARLOTS? Then why do they continue to follow blindly, stumbling into the ditch of mangled and convoluted wrong interpretations, declaring themselves to be under judgment? John 5:24

I think you are substituting in "judgment" for "wrath".
