God's Purpose in Calamitites

What mean the awful calamities by sea--vessels hurled into eternity without a moment's warning?
What mean the accidents by land--fire consuming the riches that men have hoarded, much of which has been accumulated by oppression of the poor? The Lord will not interfere to protect the property of those who transgress His law, break His covenant, and trample upon His Sabbath, accepting in its place a spurious rest day.       The plagues of God are already falling upon the earth, sweeping away the most costly structures as if by a breath of fire from heaven. Will not these judgments bring professing Christians to their senses? God permits them to come that the world may take heed, that sinners may be afraid and tremble before Him.--3MR 311 (1902).       God has a purpose in permitting these calamities to occur. They are one of His means of calling men and women to their senses. By unusual workings through nature God will express to doubting human agencies that which He clearly reveals in His Word.     How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property! Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of disorganized, unregulated forces of nature, wholly beyond the control of man, but in them all God's purpose may be read. They are among the agencies by which He seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger.--
Coming Events Are in the Hands of the Lord

     The world is not without a ruler. The program of coming events is in the hands of the Lord. The Majesty of heaven has the destiny of nations as well as the concerns of His church in His own charge.     These symbolical representations [the fiery serpents in the wilderness] serve a double purpose. From them God's people learn not only that the physical forces of the earth are under the control of the Creator, but also that under His control are the religious movements of the nations. Especially is this true with reference to the enforcement of Sunday observance.--



     In the great closing work we shall meet with perplexities that we know not how to deal with, but let us not forget that the three great Powers of heaven are working, that a divine hand is on the wheel, and that God will bring His purposes to pass.--Ev 65 (1902).  {LDE 29.3} 
     As the wheel-like complications were under the guidance of the hand beneath the wings of the cherubim, so the complicated play of human events is under divine control. Amidst the strife and tumult of nations, He that sitteth above the cherubim still guides the affairs of the earth. [See Ezekiel 1:4, 26; 10:8; Daniel 4:17, 25, 32.]--Ed 178 (1903).  {LDE 29.4}
     In the annals of human history, the growth of nations, the rise and fall of empires, appear as if
         dependent on the will and prowess of man; the shaping of events seems, to a great degree, to be determined by his power, ambition, or caprice. But in the Word of God the curtain is drawn aside, and we behold, above, behind, and through all the play and counterplay of human interest and power and passions, the agencies of the All-merciful One, silently, patiently working out the counsels of His own will.--PK 499, 500 (c. 1914).  {LDE 29.5} 

Heaven's Regard for Earth's Affairs

     In sparing the life of the first murderer, God presented before the whole universe a lesson bearing upon the great controversy. . . . It was His purpose, not merely to put down the rebellion, but to demonstrate to all the universe the nature of rebellion. . . .The holy inhabitants of other worlds were watching with the deepest interest the events taking place on the earth. . . .  {LDE 30.1} 
     God carries with Him the sympathy and approval of the whole universe as step by step His great plan advances to its complete fulfillment.--PP 78, 79 (1890).  {LDE 30.2} 
     The act of Christ in dying for the salvation of man would not only make heaven accessible to men, but before all the universe it would justify God and His son in their dealing with the rebellion of Satan.--PP 68, 69 (1890).  {LDE 30.3} 
     The whole universe is watching with inexpressible interest the closing scenes of the great controversy between good and evil.--PK 148 (c. 1914).  {LDE 30.4} 
     Our little world is the lesson book of the universe.. {Last Days Events }

The enmity of the Jews..Persecution will come its starts in the church

CHRIST IN HIS OWN WORDS WRITTEN IN RED says : LukE 12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52  For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.  53  The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.  54  And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.  5  And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.  56  Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

  
Earl Belfast : Persecution will come when God's people stand for that which is right.
All the satanic instruments are awaken when a decision is made to follow  ALL of Gods word that is Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. First the enemies from within are chief instruments on this onslaught. As a people the Whole of Spiritual Israel do attack that which is true and honest to scripture. Satan moves upon the heart of individuals to accomplish His work;each man adding and spinning words of other men without verifying content or source of such information. Satan is left  happy knowing he has accomplish his work via the hands and tongues of those who consider themselves faithful,those who mount the pulpits those whose names are on the church records.They see a widening distance between the messenger of God and themselves and retain a false feeling of safety because they are among the majority and men of the cloth back them.They exclaim the man is pulling himself away, they have walked away from the platform of truth given in evidence pile upon evidence.But this is not simply so.for they go deeper and deeper into error,darkness and strong delusion over take them.At this point their blindness prevents them from identifying truth from error;and they call darkness light and light darkness. Then you know for a surety God's people are in trouble. But God has his 7,000 who will not bow. They will stand firm. Silence one and multitudes will rise.You cannot fight against the Holy Spirit.
The history has already been written ,the actors have already played the parts.What we witness is the repeat of History.

Here is the Story in Acts of the Apostles starting in page 413

"Paul had long looked forward to visiting Rome; he greatly desired to witness for Christ there, but had felt that his purposes were frustrated by the enmity of the Jews. He little thought, even now, that it would be as a prisoner that he would go.   } 
     While the Lord encouraged His servant, Paul's enemies were eagerly plotting his destruction. "And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy." Here was a fast such as the Lord through Isaiah had condemned--a fast "for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness." Isaiah 58:4.  {AA 413.3} 
     The conspirators "came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. Now therefore  ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you tomorrow, as though ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him."  {AA 413.4} 
     Instead of rebuking this cruel scheme, the priests and rulers eagerly agreed to it. Paul had spoken the truth when he compared Ananias to a whited sepulcher.  {AA 414.1} 
     But God interposed to save the life of His servant. Paul's sister's son, hearing of the "lying in wait" of the assassins, "went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him. So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee."  {AA 414.2} 
     Claudius Lysias received the youth kindly, and taking him aside, asked, "What is that thou hast to tell me?" The youth replied: "The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul tomorrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat of him more perfectly. But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee."  {AA 414.3} 
     "The chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast showed these things to me."
                                                                          
     Lysias at once decided to transfer Paul from his jurisdiction to that of Felix the procurator. As a people, the Jews were in a state of excitement and irritation, and tumults were of frequent occurrence. The continued presence of the apostle in Jerusalem might lead to consequences dangerous to the city and even to the commandant himself. He therefore "called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; and provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor."
     No time was to be lost in sending Paul away. "The soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris." From that place the horsemen went on with the prisoner to Caesarea, while the four hundred soldiers returned to Jerusalem.   
     The officer in charge of the detachment delivered his prisoner to Felix, also presenting a letter with which he had been entrusted by the chief captain:       "Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting. This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman. And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council: whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment
 o his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell."
    After reading the communication, Felix inquired to what province the prisoner belonged, and being informed that he was of Cilicia, said: "I will hear thee . . . when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall."

     The case of Paul was not the first in which a servant of God had found among the heathen an asylum from the malice of the professed people of Jehovah. In their rage against Paul the Jews had added another crime to the dark catalogue which marked the history of that people. They had still further hardened their hearts against the truth and had rendered their doom more certain. 

May God have mercy on us.

Many in Our churches will not hear, Would you be one of those ?

Part 1
HISTORY REPEATS,
Ecclesiastes1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
When you lay the reform histories in the Bible line upon line you see a marvellous message see the pic on right to see the repeat of these reform movements in the Bible click pic.

"Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.
{Faith I Live By 333.6}








Part 2
Isaiah30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever:
9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.



PART 3
WE HAVE NO NEW MESSAGE!
"We have, as had John, a message to bear of the things which we have seen and heard. God is not giving us a new message. We are to proclaim the message that in 1843 and 1844 brought us out of the other churches. We need the Holy Spirit to kindle in our hearts the zeal and earnestness that were then seen among God's people. I thank the Lord that there are still living a few who can remember those days, and who know whereof they speak.
{RH, January 19, 1905 par. 22}

There are many precious truths contained in the Word of God, but it is "present truth" that the flock needs now. I have seen the danger of the messengers running off from the important points of present truth, to dwell upon subjects that are not calculated to unite the flock and sanctify the soul. Satan will here take every possible advantage to injure the cause. {EW 63.1}




PART 4
GOD CALLS HIS WATCHMEN TO GIVE THE TRUMPET A "CERTAIN SOUND"1Corinthians 14:8 (A distinct clear message,Not confusion).CHRIST HIMSELF EMPOWERS THE MESSAGE IN THE MILLERITE HISTORY AND HE WILL DO THE SAME FOR THE FINAL MESSAGE THE 4TH ANGEL IN REV 18:1 . PROPHET HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS ITSELF. SEE THE TRIPLE ACTION OF PROPHECY WHICH GOD HAS ENCODED IN HIS WORD FOR US HERE AT THE END OF THE WORLD.

"A Seventh-day Adventist Message.--At this time, when we are so near the end, shall we become so like the world in practice that men may look in vain to find God's denominated people? Shall any man sell our peculiar characteristics as God's chosen people for any advantage the world has to give? Shall the favor of those who transgress the law of God be looked upon as of great value? Shall those whom the Lord has named His people suppose that there is any power higher than the great I AM? Shall we endeavor to blot out the distinguishing points of faith that have made us Seventh-day Adventists? {Ev 121.3}
Our only safety is in standing constantly in the light of God's countenance.--Manuscript 84, 1905.

A Cheerful Present-Truth Message.--Now, just now, we are to proclaim present truth, with assurance and with power. Do not strike one dolorous note; do not sing funeral hymns.--Letter 311, 1905. {Ev 122.1}
Convinced by the Weight of Evidence.--God is presenting to the minds of men divinely appointed precious gems of truth, appropriate for our time. God has rescued these truths from the companionship of error, and has placed them in their proper frame-work. When these truths are given their rightful position in God's great plan, when they are presented intelligently and earnestly, and with reverential awe, by the Lord's servants, many will conscientiously believe because of the weight of evidence, without waiting for every supposed difficulty which may suggest itself to their minds, to be removed.--Manuscript 8a, 1888. {Ev 122.2}

BUT WE HAVE A PROBLEM WE HAVE LEADING MEN IN ADVENTISM SAYING WE NEED NOT BLOW THE TRUMPET OR WORSE YET GIVING THE TRUMPET AN UNCERTAIN SOUND. Isaiah 56:10,11,12 and Isaiah 29:10,11,12,13,14,15.Isaiah 28:7,8





PART 5
THE PILLARS OF OUR FAITH ARE THE BELIEFS THAT ARE FUNDAMENTAL AND DISTINCT(Sabbath,State of the Dead,Health Message,Father Son and Holy Spirit,Creation etc.)
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR FAITH ARE THOSE THAT BROUGHT US INTO EXISTENCE IN 1840-44 NAMELY (2300Days Daniel 8:14,The sanctuary,the 2520.The 7 trumpets of Rev 8,the 3woes of Rev 9 & 11(911).This does not mean the foundation is more important than the pillars it means in SDA movement God brought his people out of darkness once again by leading them through prophesy that help them take a deeper look at what makes a protestant a true protestant that is the pillars as mention above. What the reformation of the 16th century fail to do God is completing in a people."Isreal "is being gather one final time to produce The BRIDE Revelation 14:12.But until then a work of reform must continue even in and among His Bride who is not yet in pure white garments but is named Laodecia who is poor reached, blind and naked. Remember Jer 6:16 says "But they said, We will not walk therein" .

Isaiah 58:12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein .

"I saw individuals approach the platform and examine the foundation. Some with rejoicing immediately stepped upon it. Others commenced to find fault with the foundation. They wished improvements made, and then the platform would be more perfect, and the people much happier. Some stepped off the platform to examine it and declared it to be laid wrong. But I saw that nearly all stood firm upon the platform and exhorted those who had stepped off to cease their complaints; for God was the Master Builder, and they were fighting against Him. They recounted the wonderful work of God, which had led them to the firm platform, and in union raised their eyes to heaven and with a loud voice glorified God. This affected some of those who had complained and left the platform, and they with humble look again stepped upon it."
{Early Writing 258.3}




PART 6
Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
"As a people we are to stand firm on the platform of eternal truth that has withstood test and trial. We are to hold to the sure pillars of our faith. The principles of truth that God has revealed to us are our only true foundation. They have made us what we are. The lapse of time had not lessened their value."
Special Testimonies, Series B, No. 2, p. 51. (1904.) {CW 52.2}

Moving a Block or Stirring a Pin.--I saw a company who stood well guarded and firm, giving no countenance to those who would unsettle the established faith of the body. God looked upon them with approbation. I was shown three steps,--the first, second, and third angels' messages. Said my accompanying angel, "Woe to him who shall move a block or stir a pin of these messages. The true understanding of these. The destiny of souls hangs upon the manner in which they are received." I was again brought down through these messages, and saw how dearly the people of God had purchased their experience. It had been obtained through much suffering and severe conflict. God had led them along step by step, until He had placed them upon a solid, immovable platform.
{Early Writings, pp. 258, 259. (1858.).

What messages is of vital importance? 1. The Sanctuary, The 2520,The Daily,The Seven Trumpets.The 2300 Days are applicable for out time than it was for the pioneers.





PART 7

WE HAVE ONLY ONE GOSPEL THAT IS THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL GIVEN TO US THROUGH THE GLAD TIDINGS ENABLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT CHRIST HIMSELF OUT LINES THE PROGRESSION OF THESE TIDINGS IN JOHN16:8-11 (SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUDGEMENT ).GODS PEOPLE NEED TO STAY ON THE FIRM PLATFORM SETUP BY THE PIONEERS IN ADVENTISM. THAT IS THE FOUNDATION THAT IS BUILT ON CHRIST

Philippians 1:27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
