Quote:
isnt there something about the plagues that has been changed in the GC?
Bethybug
Interesting question. It would seem that you have a thought on this point???
Here is mine.
Is there something about the 7 Last Plagues in the 1911 GC.
On page 628-629 of the 1911 we find this quoted “These plagues are not universal, or the inhabitants of the earth would be wholly cut off. Yet they will be the most awful scourges that have ever been known to mortals. All the judgments upon men, prior to the close of probation, have been mingled with mercy. The pleading blood of Christ has shielded the sinner from receiving the full measure of his guilt; but in the final judgment, wrath is poured out unmixed with mercy.” Also found in the 1888,1905, 1907 and the 1911
Revelation 16:1 “And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.”
1858 Great Controversy page 199 “The plagues are falling upon the inhabitants of the earth.”
The quote from the 1911 is not in the 1884 GC at all.
Is there a difference?
From the 1911 quote there seems to be a change of theology, from plagues being poured out upon the world to only parts of the world. As I was taught in school these 7 last plagues would come down like it did in Egypt in the time of Moses, one plague here and then its gone and another plague falls. I was taught that a plague that would fall in America would not fall say in Africa, and so on.
This gave me troubles when I was in school with teachers and such. Well, from the understanding that the world right now is ran by the beast and the world right now is his seat then this 1911 quote does not fit with Revelation 16:1. They fall on the earth not part of the earth but the whole planet.
People may have a problem with this because they say then it will affect the Saints! Well yes it will affect the Saints. Rivers like blood will really smell and look gross, animals dying and other such things. It will affect the Saints but not in the manner that the wicked will be affected. The Angels of the Almighty will protect the Saints so we have no worry. Also the plagues fall upon the wicked men (Revelation 16:2) not the saints.
Peace and Grace
David
The greatest want of the world is the want of men-- men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.

Just as God provided food for Elijah, He will also provide food for us as well in the Time of Trouble. Its scary alright, but you know the end result is to see Christ and be with Him. The morning will come.
God Bless & Good night,
Will

Without getting into what the true understanding of revelation 16:1 is, Ill quote the possible translations for the word that in KJV is translated earth: Quote:
1) arable land
2) the ground, the earth as a standing place
3) the main land as opposed to the sea or water
4) the earth as a whole
a) the earth as opposed to the heavens
b) the inhabited earth, the abode of men and animals
5) a country, land enclosed within fixed boundaries, a tract of land, territory, region
Changing from all the earth to part of the earth is a change in theology, though not one thats unreasonable if only the language of the original greek is considered.

Galatians 2
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
It is so hazardous to take here a little and there a little. If you put the right little's together you can make the bible teach anything you wish. //Graham Maxwell
