Mission Statement
Calling All Youth!
God is love; merciful, abundant in goodness and truth. In His
majestic character God has provided us with the most solemn
truth ever commited to mortals. Tis truth is designed to redeem
all mankind from our current fallen state. Tis truth convicts us of
Sin, Righteousness and Judgment (John 16:7-11, 13). Tis truth
is the Tird Angels Messages of Revelation 14. Te great object of
us as youth is to proclaim this message, exalting God and calling
the atention of His people to the living truths of His word.
Te signs of the times and the testimonies of Gods prophets
are fulflling before our eyes yet many of us are unaware. Te
prophetic message entrusted to us is unfolding in history day by
day, and hour by hour, the Tree Angels message is in its closing
scenes, the message has long been and still remains present truth
and a present reality for us as Seventh-Day Adventists with a
present truth work that God has entrusted us to do. We are the
fnal generation who are called to lif up, not our own standard,
not the standard of this world, but His [Gods] standard of truth
(Tesimonies, Vol. 7, p151).
About Us
Tis newsleter is brought to you by Seventh-Day-Adventist
youth from across London. We are writing the vision and making
it plain as we are told in Habakkuk 2:2 Write the vision and make
it plain...that he may run that readeth it. Te Lord wants us to
run to Him that we might be saved and more than this He wants
us to share the everlasting gospel, the Tree Angels Messages as
David brings to view in Psalms 71:17 O God, thou hast taught
me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous
works. Young people this ought to be our mission to declare the
wondrous works of the Lord, which He has taught us and these
newsleters, month afer month will demonstrate that it is the
Lord through the Holy Spirit that teaches us, and it is the Lord
from the book of Genesis through to the book of Revelation that
is teaching us on the platform of this glorious light.
Our exhortation to you is to study to see if these things are so
and to hold fast to that which is true; the present truth that is able
to make you wise unto salvation
(2 Timothy 3:15).

G
eneral Conference President Ted Wilson in a
recent article entitled Adventists urged to pray
for later rain power to fnish the work made
an appeal to church members to unite with church lead-
ers and millions of other Seventh Day Adventists seeking
a deeper relationship with Jesus and the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit at 7am... Further we are told to seek for
a revival and reformationseeking His promise of the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit in later-rain power for the
fulflling of the gospel commission.
In a nutshell we are told to pray for the later rain and
it will come! Indeed the Bible does admonish us to ask
ye rain in the time of the later rain. (Zechariah 10:1) Yet
the question unanswered is how does the later rain come,
what is it, and when is the time here spoken of by Zecha-
riah the prophet?
Christ used natural or literal things to demonstrate
those things which are spiritual. (1 Corinthians 15:43)
Tis principle is used throughout the Bible for we are told
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil
as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as
the showers upon the grass. (Deuteronomy 32:2) Rain is
used to represent Gods doctrine, which are His teachings
(of truth). So what is the grass? In Isaiah 40:7 we are told
Te grass withereth, the fower fadeth: because the spirit
of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
Te grass represents the people of God (See also Job 5:25;
Psalms 103:15)
Solomon also tells us in Proverbs 1:23 Turn you at my
reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will
make known my words unto you. Te pouring out of the
Spirit is referred to as the word of God. Tere is a specifc
word that the Lord wants to make known unto us, for we
are told In every age there is a new development of truth,
a message of God to the people of that generation. Te
old truths are all essential; new truth is not independent
of the old, but an unfolding of it... When Christ desired
to open to His disciples the truth of His resurrection, He
began at Moses and all the prophets and expounded
unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning
Himself. Luke 24:27. But it is the light which shines in
the fresh unfolding of truth that glorifes the old. He who
rejects or neglects the new does not really possess the old.
For him it loses its vital power and becomes but a lifeless
form. {Chriss Objec Lessons 127.4}
In Christs time the pouring out of His Spirit in the
unfolding of truth related to the prophecy in Daniel 9.
Hence, why Christ proclaimed the words the time is
fulflled, (Mark 1:14-15) the time as prophesied for the
redemption of mankind. (Mark 10:44-46) Tis unfolding
of truth prepared the disciples to receive the early rain at
Pentecost. (Acs 1-2)
Likewise for the Millerites the outpouring of Gods
Spirit was in the unfolding of the litle book of Revela-
tion 10 in relation to Daniel 8:14 with Christs heavenly
ministration beginning in the most Holy Place. Yet John
was told in Revelation 10:11 thou must prophesy again
which leads us to the rest of that portion of the litle book
that the wise would understand. (Daniel 12:9-10) Tese
are the words of Daniel 11:40-45 which contain the his-
tory of not only our generation but the whole Bible fting
us as Gods people at the end of the world to receive the
outpouring of the later rain.
Te question is do you know this and are you receiving
the droplets of rain to ft you for its full outpouring? Now
is the time to study and live by this later rain message
and to share with your brethren this glorious and solemn
truth.

O
ur principle theme for the year is one found
within the Tird Angels Message, it is that
of the litle book, the unsealing of the seven
seals. Our focus is to demonstrate how God brings His
covenant keeping people through a process, which has
been coined as Egypt, Babylon, Egypt, to fulfll His cov-
enantal agreement, established with Abraham, beginning
with ancient Israel and then through the history of the
churches because both of these histories are identical. Te
process, going from Egypt to Babylon, then back to Egypt
again is thus to fulfll that which God
has said, So shall my word be that
goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall
not return unto me void, but it shall
accomplish that which I please, and
it shall prosper in the thing whereto
I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11) It will be
demonstrated that the seven seals
frst depicted under the churches,
transpired frst under the history of
ancient Israel, and this process of the
unsealing of the seals takes place at
the end of Israels history, whilst it is
the beginning of the churches, when
Christ, afer His crucifxion returned
to heaven, to take the litle book from
His Fathers hand. (Daniel 12:4; Revelation 4; 5; 10:1-4)
Tat this process has thus far transpired twice before in
Biblical history; on the day of Pentecost and the Advent
movement of 1840-1844. {see Great Controversy 611}
We are in the fnal phase of this process, which is a
compilation of the two previous phases, which have tran-
spired. It will further be demonstrated that this third and
fnal phase of this sequence of events has almost reached
its completion. Trough the process (referred to as Baby-
lon), it will be that God uses this experience to separate
the two classes, which are ever linked to the receiving of
the covenant, on coming out of Egypt. Tis process, we
have coined the fery furnace, because the process always
transpires under Babylonian persecution, both under
literal Babylon, and the 1260 period of papal darkness
and it will be seen that these two types are in every way a
snapshot of the great antitype; the image of the beast test,
brought to view for the fnal three Hebrew youth, (the
Tree Angels Message people) in the fnal Babylonian
scenes, which is the Sunday law, the fnal great sifing test
that Gods professed church and then the whole world are
so soon to be plunged into.
Our prayer is that all who are
currently deemed by the servant of
the Lord as the superfcial, con-
servative class, whose infuence has
steadily retarded the progress of the
work. {5 Tesimonies for the church
463.2} Will all awake to what God
is graphically demonstrating, using
the histories of the past, His fnal
alarm call for His church, before she
enters into that time period, which
prophets of old describe as ...a day of
wrath, a day of trouble and distress,
a day of wasteness and desolation,
a day of darkness and gloominess, a
day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet
and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high
towers. A day when God, will bring distress upon men,
that they shall walk like blind men, because they have
sinned against the LORD... (Zephaniah 1:15 - 17; Joel 2:
2)
Let us therefore commence with Abraham, since God
established His covenant of faith with this father of us
all. (Romans 4:16) Chronicled in holy writ as a bench-
mark, regarding faithfulness for us as the fnal generation
to learn the lessons that he learned.
Israel, according to
the word of God
ended up in Egypt.
Whils there, their
faith wore thin. Many

wives, partook of

Te Faith of Abraham...
God had called Abraham to be the father of the faith-
ful, and his life was to stand as an example of faith to suc-
ceeding generations. But his faith had not been perfect.
He had shown distrust of God in concealing the fact that
Sarah was his wife, and again in his marriage with Hagar.
Tat he might reach the highest standard, God subjected
him to another test, the closest which man was ever called
to endure. Te Lord spoke unto him, saying: Take now
thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and
ofer him . . . for a burnt ofering. . . .Tis act of faith in
Abraham is recorded for our beneft. It teaches the great
lesson of confdence in the requirements of God, however
close and cuting they may be... {Confic & Courage 56.2-
3,5}
Te Coming Deliverer
As Abraham faithfully ofered up his son, God renewed
the promise made in Eden with this stalwart of faithful-
ness. Te covenant of grace was frst made with man in
Eden, when afer the Fall there was given a divine promise
that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpents
head Tis same covenant was renewed to Abraham
in the promise, In thy seed shall all the nations of the
earth be blessed. Genesis 22:18. Tis promise pointed to
Christ. So Abraham understood it (see Galatians 3:8, 16),
and he trusted in Christ for the forgiveness of sins. It was
this faith that was accounted unto him for righteousness.
Te covenant with Abraham also maintained the author-
ity of Gods law. {PP 370.2 - 4} Afer the carrying out of
this great act of sacrifce, we read, . . .still the patriarch
begged for some visible token as a confrmation of his
faith and as an evidence to afer-generations that Gods
gracious purposes toward them would be accomplished.
. . .By divine direction, Abraham was instructed to make a
sacrifce unto the Lord. Tis being done, . . .he reverently
passed between the parts of the sacrifce, making a solemn
vow to God of perpetual obedience About sunset he
sank into a deep sleep; and, lo, a horror of great darkness
fell upon him. {Patriarchs & Prophets 137.1}
In this vision (Genesis 15:1), the horror of great dark-
ness, Abraham understood that his people would be
enslaved for four hundred years before a mighty deliv-
erance. (Genesis 15:12-14) Israel, according to the word
of God ended up in Egypt. Whilst there, their faith wore
thin. Many united with heathen wives, partook of the
customs and practices of the land. Till nearly all lost a
knowledge of the God of their fathers; there was there-
fore a need for a deliverer. By faith Moses, when he was
born, was hid three months of his parents, because they
saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of
the kings commandment. (Hebrews 11:23) Pharaoh
had proscribed death to every male child, but God, had
decreed a deliverer. Te history of Moses, birth, his fight
from Egypt we will bypass for now because much of this
is common knowledge, and also because of space.
Te Glory Which Moses saw...
Afer Israels departure from Egypt, God brought them
to Mount Sinai where, He purposed to establish His cov-
enant with them, the one frst established with Adam
and then with Abraham, an agreement founded upon the
same promises of righteousness by faith. While Moses
was shut in the mount with God, the plan of salvation,
dating from the fall of Adam, was revealed to him in a
most forcible manner. He then knew that the very angel
who was conducting the travels of the children of Israel
was to be revealed in the fesh. Gods dear Son, who was
one with the Father, was to make all men one with God
who would believe on, and trust in Him. Moses saw the
true signifcance of the sacrifcial oferings. Christ taught
the gospel plan to Moses, and the glory of the gospel,
through Christ, illuminated the countenance of Moses...
{1 Seleced Messages 231.3}
Te glory that shone on the face of Moses was a refec-
tion of the righteousness of Christ in the law. Te law itself
would have no glory, only that in it Christ is embodied. It
has no power to save. It is lusterless only as in it Christ is
represented as full of righteousness and truth. Te types
and shadows of the sacrifcial service, with the prophe-
cies, gave the Israelites a veiled, indistinct view of the
mercy and grace to be brought to the world by the revela-
tion of Christ. To Moses was unfolded the signifcance of
the types and shadows pointing to Christ. He saw to the
www.adventimes.com 5
end of that which was to be done away when, at the death
of Christ, type met antitype. He saw that only through
Christ can man keep the moral law. . . .It was seeing the
object of that which was to be done away, seeing Christ as
revealed in the law, that illumined the face of Moses. {1
Seleced Messages 237.2-4}
When Moses learned that the people could not
look upon his face, because of its glory, he covered it with
a veil. {1 Seleced Messages 232.1} Te glory which was
upon Moses face was not from the law, but from that
which Moses had seen in the law, concerning the revela-
tion of Jesus Christ. It was this revelation that the Chil-
dren of Israel asked Moses to veil. Te very revelation of
Gods glory, He, who being the brightness of his (Gods)
glory, (Hebrews 1: 3) was to one day come in the gar-
ment of humanity to again be rejected, men seeing in
Him, no beauty that they should desire Him, He was to
be despised and rejected of men... and we hid as it were
our faces from Him... (Isaiah 53: 2, 3)
On his descent from the mount, Moses informed Israel
of the conditions of the agreement between them and
God, which were blessings for obedience, or cursings for
disobedience. (Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28) Israel how-
ever, instead of accepting the covenant upon the same
conditions as Abraham, rejected the glory of God, for we
are told It will be seen that the glory shining in the face of
Jesus is the glory of self-sacrifcing love. In the light from
Calvary it will be seen that the law of self-renouncing
love is the law of life for earth and heaven; that the love
which seeketh not her own has its source in the heart of
God; and that in the meek and lowly One is manifested
the character of Him who dwelleth in the light which no
man can approach unto. {Desire of Ages 19.2} Israel did
not desire self-sacrifce, as did Abraham, so they wove
self into the agreement. Te people responded, ALL
THAT THE LORD HATH SAID WILL WE DO, AND
BE OBEDIENT. (Exodus 24:7) Tus, this resulted in an
amendment to the covenant, or a covenant based upon
righteousness by works, which in turn meant they were
destined for Babylon. Where God was to make a dis-
tinction between those who served Him and those who
served Him not.
Destination Babylon
One of the most severe tests to come upon ancient
Israel, which is the type for that which is soon to come
upon us as modern Israel, was the test of Babylon. Jer-
emiah the prophet was called to speak to the people of
Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, telling them
that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon was Gods serv-
ant, called to carry out His will, and that Israel had to bow
implicitly to this will, or Jerusalem would be destroyed
and ultimately become slaves. Israel rejected the warns of
Gods mouth piece, therefore the remnant of Judah were
to go into captivity, to learn through adversity the lessons
they had refused to learn under circumstances more favo-
rable. From this decree of the holy Watcher there could be
no appeal. {Prophets & Kings 453.1}
Israel bondage was due to the rejection of Gods cov-
enant of faith, for that of works, and thus the threatened
curse of Moses (Deuteronomy 28:48; Daniel 9:11, 13)
came into efect. And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if
your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all
my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: And
I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quar-
rel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together
within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you;
and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
(Leviticus 26:15, 25)
In His providence He brings these persons into dif-
ferent positions and varied circumstances that they may
discover in their character the defects which have been
concealed from their own knowledge. He gives them
opportunity to correct these defects and to ft themselves
for His service. Ofen He permits the fres of afiction to
assail them that they may be purifed. Te fact that we are
called upon to endure trial shows that the Lord Jesus sees
in us something precious which He desires to develop. If
He saw in us nothing whereby He might glorify His name,
He would not spend time in refning us. He does not cast
worthless stones into His furnace. It is valuable ore that
He refnes. Te blacksmith puts the iron and steel into the
fre that he may know what manner of metal they are. Te
Lord allows His chosen ones to be placed in the furnace
of afiction to prove what temper they are of and whether
they can be fashioned for His work. {Minisry of Healing
471.1-2}
Peter, speaking on this same theme writes, Beloved,
think it not strange concerning the fery trial which is to
try you, as though some strange thing happened unto
you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christs
suferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may
be glad also with exceeding joy. (1 Peter 4:12-13) But

many of those in this furnace of af iction, unlike the three
Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, could
not follow the counsel that Whether therefore ye eat, or
drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (1
Corinthians 10:31)
Egypt Two
In an allegory found in Galatians 4:22-31, Paul writes
about the two covenants, summing them up as types of
Abrahams two wives and their sons. One a freewoman,
with her spiritual son (of promise), and the other a bond-
woman, Hagar and her son afer the fesh. Tis aptly rep-
resents the covenant of bondage (the bondwoman) Israel
found herself under with Christ arriving in time, to repeat
the history of Moses, of taking Israel, (the church) out
of Egyptian bondage. Note the majority of Israel again
rejected the glory, this time in Christ, just as when the
glory beamed on Moses brow. In Israel killing Christ,
John the revelator likens Christs death as taking place in
spiritual Egypt (See Revelation 11:8)
In fact what you are here witnessing, is the exact same
history, the history found under ancient Israel, which
commences the seals under the New
Testament churches, afer Christs
ascension. For, both Moses and
Christ were deliverers, both share
the same events at birth, in that
death decrees where ordered against
them. Moses, speaking of Christs
coming near the close of his work, as
a leader and teacher of Israel, plainly
prophesied of the Messiahs coming,
when he said, Te Lord thy God,
he declared to the assembled hosts
of Israel, will raise up unto thee a
Prophet from the midst of thee, of
thy brethren, like unto me; unto Him
ye shall hearken. And Moses assured
the Israelites that God Himself had
revealed this to him while in Mount
Horeb, saying, I will raise them up a
Prophet from among their brethren,
like unto thee, and will put My words
in His mouth; and He shall speak
unto them all that I shall command
Him. Deuteronomy 18:15, 18. {Acs
of the Aposles 222.3}
Christ Himself, when He
recounted this understanding to His
disciples on the road to Emmaus,
afer His resurrection plainly pointed
them back to Moses And beginning
at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them
in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke.
24: 27)
Te history of the two covenants, Israels rejection of
Gods covenant under Moses, the choosing of a covenant
of bondage, followed by its consequential bondage in
Babylon brings us down to the second Egypt where the
story begins all over again. Christ, like Moses leads the
children of spiritual Israel, out of Egypt afer the death of
the lamb, Gods frst born Son. He leads them to Pentecost
which is a type for Sinai, where the law was again given,
but this time ...writen not with ink, but with the Spirit of
the living God; not in tables of stone, but in feshly tables
of the heart. (2 Corinthians 3:3) Israel again forsakes the
covenant (under the churches). With Pentecost being the
former rain, we are told, Give ear, O ye heavens, and I
will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My
doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as
the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as
the showers upon the grass. (Deuteronomy 32:1, 32) Te

tation of the power of God than marked its opening. Te

former rain at the opening of the gospel are again to be
fulflled in the later rain at its close. {Great Controversy
611.3}
I was pointed back to the proclamation of the frst
advent of Christ. John was sent in the spirit and power of
Elijah to prepare the way of Jesus. Tose who rejected the
testimony of John were not benefted by the teachings of
Jesus. Teir opposition to the message that foretold His
coming placed them where they could not readily receive
the strongest evidence that He was the Messiah. Satan led
on those who rejected the message of John to go still far-
ther, to reject and crucify Christ. In doing this they placed
themselves where they could not receive the blessing on
the day of Pentecost, which would have taught them the
way into the heavenly sanctuary... Te great Sacrifce had
been ofered and had been accepted, and the Holy Spirit
which descended on the day of Pentecost carried the
minds of the disciples from the earthly sanctuary to the
heavenly, where Jesus had entered by His own blood, to
shed upon His disciples the benefts of His atonement.
But the Jews were lef in total darkness. {Early Writings
259.1}
Babylon Two: Revisited...
Te rejection of Christ, lead to the rejection of the law
and its glory, which was at that time in the frst apartment
of the heavenly sanctuary... Tus, the majority found
themselves again under the wrong covenant. Under the
frst church, John the revelator brings Christ to view and
the church in a holy place experience with Him, wedded
to Him as on Sinai. John is given the revelation of Jesus
Christ, (Rev. 1:1) so that the church would understand
what caused Pentecost to transpire, the unsealing of the
litle book Jesus had taken from His Fathers hand. (Rev-
elation 5, 8) Te churches are brought to view under the
symbols of the seals, as horses. Changing from a white
pure church (horse) to a red horse, followed by a black
horse then a pale horse with death as its rider. Afer the
death of the last disciple (John), corruption creeps back
into the purifed church and it falls further and further
away from its high and holy estate, ...for that day shall not
come, except there come a falling away frst, and that man
of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. (2 Tessalonians
2: 3) Tat is until mystery Babylon the great came upon
the stage of history during the dark ages. Tis coming is
a manifestation of Gods power to begin the churches
journey back through the fres of Babylon to the coming
of Christ again in 1844. At the end of Babylons alloted
time, the fery furnace of papal suppression is put out by
the equally irreligious belief system of atheism, which
arose in France. Tis prophetically is synonymous with
Egypt (Revelation 11: 8) and is described as a beast that
ascendeth out of the botomless pit which shall make
war against them, [the saints] and shall overcome them,
and kill them. (Revelation 11:7)
Egypt Two: Revisited...
As demonstrated Christ came to Israel when in its
greatest spiritual darkness, whilst under the wrong cove-
nant (Egypt). As Christ came to His Father, the ancient of
days in 1844 to begin the judgment, all the elements were
ready to repeat the history of Christ frst coming; of John,
Jesus and Pentecost; but this time with the frst, second
and third angels messages. Would the people accept the
judgment hour message and prepare to meet their God?
All heaven watched with the deepest interest the
reception of the frst angels message. But many who pro-
fessed to love Jesus, and who shed tears as they read the
story of the cross, derided the good news of His coming.
Instead of receiving the message with gladness, they
declared it to be a delusion. Tey hated those who loved
His appearing and shut them out of the churches. Tose
who rejected the frst message could not be benefted by
the second; neither were they benefted by the midnight
cry, which was to prepare them to enter with Jesus by faith
into the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary. And by
rejecting the two former messages, they have so darkened
their understanding that they can see no light in the third
angels message, which shows the way into the most holy
place. I saw that as the Jews crucifed Jesus, so the nomi-
nal churches had crucifed these messages, and therefore
they have no knowledge of the way into the most holy,
and they cannot be benefted by the intercession of Jesus
there. {Early Writings 260.1}
But before Christ could come, the Millerites had come
as Elijah, Tousands were led to embrace the truth
preached by William Miller, and servants of God were
raised up in the spirit and power of Elijah to proclaim the

message. Like John, the forerunner of Jesus, those who
preached this solemn message felt compelled to lay the
ax at the root of the tree, and call upon men to bring forth
fruits meet for repentance. {Early Writings 233.1} As the
Jews rejected John and therefore Jesus, Pentecost and the
way into the frst apartment, where Christ had opened the
litle book; so those in 1844 rejected these three messages
and could not enter into the second apartment when the
angel of Revelation 10 (Chris see Vol. 7, Bible Commentary
971.1) descended with the same litle book opened. Tey
again found themselves under the wrong covenant.
In Te Final Moments of Babylon
and Egypt
Under the Tird Angels Message, the fnal phase of this
process has begun, which as stated is a combination of the
past two phases of Christs comings. In both of the past
two phases, those who rejected Gods glory had to meet
with Babylon, the manifestation of Gods power to bring
Israel back to that point where He could deliver His law
to them all over again. Te third and fnal phase of this
sequence of events has almost reached its completion,
which began in 1989, when the angel of Revelation 18
began His descent, with the litle book of Daniel 11, reo-
pening again. Signifying that the time for the whole earth
to be lightened with Gods glory has now come. Again, as
in the past, the vast majority will not see the glory as this
phase of the message is fulflled.
Tere is to be in the [Seventh-day Adventist] churches
a wonderful manifestation of the power of God, but it will
not move upon those who have not humbled themselves
before the Lord, and opened the door of the heart by con-
fession and repentance. In the manifestation of that power
which lightens the earth with the glory of God, they will
see only something which in their blindness they think
dangerous, something which will arouse their fears, and
they will brace themselves to resist it. Because the Lord
does not work according to their ideas and expectations
they will oppose the work. Why, they say, should we
not know the Spirit of God, when we have been in the
work so many years? Te third angels message will not
be comprehended, the light which will lighten the earth
with its glory will be called a false light, by those who
refuse to walk in its advancing glory.--RH May 27, 1890.
{Las Day Events 209.3-210.1}
Te fnal unsealing and opening of the litle book is now
transpiring, the past overlaying principle of Egypt, Baby-
lon, Egypt are now going through their fnal moments in
the earth. Tis time round Babylon is to be spiritual and
worldwide. Satan will then plunge the inhabitants of the
earth into one great, fnal trouble Te whole world will
be involved in ruin more terrible than that which came
upon Jerusalem of old. {Faith I Live By 215.5} As those
who are hearing this message of the sealing of Gods
church, they are being sealed by this understanding Gods
Holy Spirit is communicating, as He writes again the law
in their hearts, as in the Exodus from Egypt of the past
and the Sinai experience. Te next event to come upon
the earth will be God allowing the fery furnace of Babylo-
nian afiction to come upon all at the Sunday law. But this
time round this event will be coupled with the afiction of
the fnal seven Egyptian plagues. (Revelation 16)
Te purpose of the seven last plagues in literal Egypt
was to make a distinction between Israel and the Egyp-
tians. (Exodus 8:22, 23) Te seven last plagues therefore,
only fell upon the despisers of His grace, the Egyptians.
In like manner, by the end of Daniel 11:43 Mystery Baby-
lon the great will be in full control of the whole Egyptian
world. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold
and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt:
and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince
which standeth for the children of thy people: and there
shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there
was a nation even to that same time. (Daniel 12:1) Ten
will a clear distinction be made, but afer this fnal deliv-
erance we go to the true land of milk and honey, the true
promise land of heaven itself.
Tis platform of truth will be built upon in the coming
issues but now you and I, even as Daniel did are with
prayer and fasting, to seek the Lord we may understand
and live this vision for we have been given the solemn
responsibility of communicating this truth with heaven-
born clarity and humility. Maranatha 2011.

PIONEERS
A
fer a second year of teaching, James seriously
evaluated and accepted the Millerite message
of Christs soon return, and became a Millerite
preacher. During the winter of 1843, 1000 persons were
converted through his preaching and the same year he
was ordained as a minister in the Christian Church. James
remembered meeting Ellen Harmon before the 1844-dis-
appointment, but their association did not begin until
early 1845. Tey got married by a justice of the peace on
August 30, 1846 and that fall they began keeping the Sab-
bath that Joseph Bates had shared with them earlier in the
year.
For six years from their marriage, they did not have
a home of their own, living at times with her parents or
with friends whilst traveling. Although being very poor,
they continued to travel and speak, and James support-
ing her prophetic mission, printing her messages, and
doing manual labor to earn a litle to support them. Te
frst publication, To the Remnant Scatered Abroad, was
printed the year they married. In November 1848, Ellen
was shown in vision that James should begin to print a
paper, and that it would grow until its light would shine
around the world, as a result Te Present Truth was pub-
lished in 1849 and became Te Review and Herald in
1850. Publishing was done through public printers for
three years, in several locations. Te Whites fnally had
their own home in Rochester, New York, in 1852. With
borrowed and inexpensive furniture they set up house-
keeping, sharing the home with several who helped in the
printing. In 1855 the publishing work moved into more
permanent quarters in Batle Creek, Michigan, and the
frst formal organization among Adventists, the Advent
Review Publishing Association in 1860, was created.
Te Whites participated together in many enterprises.
In 1848 they atended all six Sabbath Conferences in
the Northeast United States, where a line of truth was
established through diligent Bible study, in groups from
15 to 50. Ellens visions did not take the place of Bible
study, rather served to confrm their study, and kept the
group from wandering into fanciful or fanatical beliefs.
More such meetings occurred in 1849 and 1850, and the
Whites atended most of them.
Visions given to Ellen ofen required her husband to
take some action. In the 1850s it was organization. James
was asked to be the frst president of the General Con-
ference when it was organized in 1863, this was declined
in favor of John Byington, but he served as the second
president, and later to a total of 10 years. In response to
Ellens visions, James was also the chief promoter in the
establishment of the frst Adventist College in Batle
Creek in 1874.
Afer sufering a severe stroke in 1865, due to over-
working, James was taken by his wife to Dansville, New
York, to a hydropathic (water therapy) institution. Afer
three months, they went to Rochester, New York, where,
on Christmas day, she had a vision that led her husband
to establish the Western Health Reform Institute in
Batle Creek the following year. A beginning of what was
to become the Batle Creek Sanitarium. Tus, a college,
a medical institution, publishing work, and organiza-
tion, were begun by James, in response to Ellens visions.
Together, they gave strong leadership to the church for 35
years. He died at age 60 in 1881, leaving Ellen to continue
her work alone for another 34 years.
Pioneers
James White (1821-1881)
James, together with his wife Ellen and Joseph Bates, co-founded the
Seventh-day Adventist Church. He was the ffh of nine children, and
in early years had such poor eyesight that he could not atend school.
As his eyes had improved, at age of 19 he atended school studying 18
hours a day, and 12 weeks later he had atained a certifcate to teach.
He later continued another 17 weeks, making his total academic time
29 weeks.

I
m wondering if you could show us through the
newsleters where we have atacked individuals or
where it was highlighted that we Adventists think we
are above anybody else?
What we clearly demonstrated is a false system of
worship. A dangerous system of false worship which the
Adventist leaders are following. Tis system the Bible
calls the False Prophet; the spirit of demons working to
gather you against the great day of God Almighty. It was
shown that the men leading out in this apostate system
Willow Creek are led by Satan. Did you read the quotes
spoken by George Barna, and Robert Schuller? How they
make a mockery of the Gospel and the plan of salvation?
We put their statements to the law and the testimony and
showed that their teachings are inspired by none other
but the prince of Darkness.
Te Bible clearly tells us have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove [them].
We are not to fellowship and adapt worship styles from
these false movements but reprove them, show them
their error with the Spirit of Christ that they can repent
and turn from there wicked ways. We are not to join them.
We are against a false system of worship, not individu-
als. In fact we know that the majority of Gods people are
in those churches and are ignorantly deceived. It is our
duty to sound the trumpet and teach them truth, not tell
them that they are okay in their sins. Tose who are genu-
ine will come out. I pray that you will read the newsleter
again and ask the Spirit of God to guide you.
Tis is not a personal vendeta against anyone, we are
just speaking the truth and exposing the falsehood and
the lies. In the hope that we all will be zealous and repent.
May God be with you that He may open your eyes
in regards to the serious times we are living in. Tere is
no time for a peace a safety message for we are right at
the brink of the end. Gods people need to be awakened
before it is too late.

QA
&
I am not for one moment supporting the idea of churches coming together but
jus like us, other churches are made up of people and we mus be careful
how we regard and treat them. Im concerned about how we demonize people who
are not of our faith We want to believe that the Spirit of God does not work in the lives of
those who do not believe as we do but, I beg to difer, and cite the case of
the Good Samaritan. Here was a heathen, as far as the religious esablishment was
concerned, an outcas, one who had no chance, yet he was the one who had compassion on
the injured man. Where does compassion come fom? Paul says, Praise be to God...the
Father of Compassion (2 Corinthians 1:3)
Finaly, regardless of how bad people are or we perceive them to be, lets remember one thing.
It has not yet been revealed what we shal be. (1 John 3:2). Tat goes for al of us. Tose
of top of the mountain could end up in the valey, and vice versa. So, lets be more tolerant of
others, not of sin but of the people that Chris died for.
