We ask that you grant us the presence of your Holy Spirit, that you might allow us to understand the message that you have for us this morning. We thank you for a good night's sleep. We ask for your continued blessing upon the recording and the live streaming. We ask that you take control of my understanding and hide me behind your cross, that I can simply be a channel, that you speak to your people, and that you prepare your people to receive what you have for us. Please touch my lips with the coal from off the altar, that the word spoken may be empowered to touch the hearts and minds of those that hear it, and that they might glorify and honor you in Jesus' name, amen. This is our third presentation. We're dealing with, at this point, the arrival of the Reform Lines that began to be recognized in 1989, which is the time of the end for this generation. And the passage in Inspiration that opened up the understanding of the Reform Lines is the chapter called the Three Angels and the Other Angels that begins on page 101 of Selected Messages book 2. In our last presentation, we read through the first three paragraphs of that chapter and then took some time to emphasize that this entire passage is placed in the context of false teachers who are going to be active during the time that this message is going forth. And we dealt with that, the fact that the warning in the scriptures about false teachers isn't about a warning about false teachers in Buddhism, it's not a warning about false teachers in Catholicism, or false teachers in apostate Protestantism, it's not really even a warning about false teachers in Adventism, although there are many, many, many false teachers in Adventism today. But the warning is for those that are studying the message that the Lion of the Tribe of Judah opens up at the end of the world, and those people that are studying this latter rain message need to acknowledge that the focus of false teachers at the end of the world is in that group. So in our first three paragraphs that we looked at last time, I want to just remind us of some things because we're going to try to show how this chapter establishes the beginnings of the Reform Lines. The first paragraph, I just have it reduced down in your notes, the great way marks of truth, and a way mark is a mark along the way, the great way marks of truth showing us our bearings in prophetic history are to be carefully guarded. So these way marks that show us our bearing in prophetic history are definitely going to come out under attack or we would not be warned to guard them. And then you have in the second paragraph a very nice definition of prophecy, it says historical events were set before the people and prophecy was seen to be a figurative delineation of events leading down to the close of this earth's history. The word delineation means to set forth upon a line, so prophecy was seen to be historical events that are set upon a line and the line is going to the end of this world's history. It's in this chapter that the Reform Lines can be recognized, this is the chapter that was opened up and if you take piece by piece this chapter you will see how the Reform Lines get put in place. It also tells us in this chapter almost every component of the entire end time message, in the same place it's defining prophecy, it says the last scenes clearly revealed have to do with the papacy, this is a reference to the last six verses of Daniel 11 and the king of the north, it's a confirmation that the man of sin is the king of the north and that of course these are the last scenes because they lead to Michael standing up in Daniel 12 and the close of human probation. She emphasizes in this third paragraph the past 50 years, this is a common reference that Sister White uses, the first 50 years of Adventism from the 1840s to the 1890s, she points to the truths that were understood in that history as the ones that would come under attack and sure enough after 1888 as we moved into darkness there was an attack to the point now where we virtually reject all the truths on this chart, we claim to still uphold the 2300 but do not understand that by rejecting the other truths we're actually rejecting the 2300. So now we'll take up the fourth paragraph and we're doing two things, we're going to try to show how the Reform Lines were recognized but also show how in this chapter the truths that are the Lateran message today are all marked in this very chapter, so a little bit of reading, we'll move quickly. From the light that the Lord has been pleased to give to me you are in danger of doing the same work, she's talking to a brother Bell who was taking time prophecy and placing them in the future, prophecies that had already been fulfilled and of course we have this going on in this message today with those brethren in Great Britain that insist on predicting when the Sunday Law is going to arrive. From the light that the Lord has been pleased to give me, I got an email from one of them this morning making an argument one more time about why the Sunday Law comes in 2014, that's why I'm saying that, so I'm saying there's nothing by accident in this chapter that inspiration was letting us know that this would be one of the shakings that would be going on in this movement as well as outside this movement. From the light the Lord has been pleased to give me you are in danger of doing the same work presenting before others truths which have had their place and done their specific work for this time in the history and the faith of the people of God. You recognize these facts in Bible history are true but apply them to the future, they have their force still in the proper place in the chain of events. And of course she refers to these prophetic way marks and the line as the chain, of course when we study William Miller we're told that he was given the commencement point for the chain of truth and what we've been given at the end is the links. This reform line that gets developed in this chapter is the links in the chain and they begin in Eden and go all the way to the second coming of Christ. The beginning of Adventism they were given the commencement to the chain of truth, at the end we're given the links to the chain of truth. They still have their force, they have their force still in their proper place in the chain of events that have made us as a people what we are today and as such they are to be presented to those who are in the darkness of error. The true workers of Jesus Christ are to cooperate with their brethren who have had an experience in the work from the very rise of the third angel's message and who's the brethren that had an experience in the rise of the third angel's message? It's the pioneers and throughout this she's going to place an emphasis on the pioneers. The pioneers, some of them were still alive when she wrote that but today, this is for us, she's speaking more about the end of the world than the time in which she lived. She's saying that we have to have a good point of reference in the pioneer understanding. These followed on step by step and throughout this chapter she's going to emphasize step by step, point by point and in their order. So when you come to start building the reform line, Inspiration places an emphasis that there is a specific order and there are certain steps that need to be marked and if you read through this you'll see that this is so. And she's going to identify that these steps were tests. They followed on step by step, receiving light and truth as they advanced, bearing one test after another, lifting the cross that lay directly in their pathway and pressing on to know the Lord, whose going forth are prepared as the morning. Before August 11, 1840, which was going to be the next step in the order of things in the Millerite history, the brethren that heard the prediction that the Ottoman Empire was going to collapse on August 11, 1840, they were being tested on whether they were going to believe that or not. That was the next step but it was a test for them and she's going to say that those things were tests for them are still tests for us because that would make her a false prophet if we accepted the premises of modern Adventism today because they were tested on the 2520. But she wouldn't be accurate to that if the 2520 wasn't valid. But we're to be tested on the 2520, we're to be tested on each of these prophecies that come into this history. You and other of our brethren must accept the truth as God has given it to his students of prophecy as they have been led by genuine living experience, advancing point by point, this is step by step, tested, proved, and tried until the truth is to them a reality. Who was tested, proved, and tried step by step? The pioneers and she's saying we must accept the truth that was given to them. From their voices and pens the truth in bright warm rays has gone forth to all parts of the world and that which was testing truth as brought by the Lord's delegated messengers is testing truth to all to whom this message is proclaimed. So the same test that they had, we're to have. So how can it be a test for us if we determine that it was false prophecy, that they were wrong for allowing themselves to be tested by it? So this really puts Sister White in a peculiar position if we're going to accept the premise that these prophecies were false prophecies. But it's not just the 2520. We reject today in modern Adventism 508, and the 1335, and the 1290, and Islam, all these things that tested them, suddenly they're not really a test to us because they were wrong about them. That makes no sense to me. Next paragraph. The burden of the warning now to come to the people of God, nigh and far off, is the third angel's message, and those who are seeking to understand this message will not be led by the Lord to make an application of the word that will undermine the foundation and remove the pillars that have made Seventh-day Adventists what they are today. The truths that have been unfolding in their order throughout this chapter, there's an emphasis on a specific order. As we have advanced along the line of prophecy, a delineation of events, revealed in the word of God are truth, sacred, eternal truth today. Those who pass over the ground step by step in the past history of our experience, seeing the chain of truth in the prophecies, were prepared to accept and obey every ray of light. They were praying, fasting, searching, digging for the truth as for hidden treasures. That's how we're supposed to study today. And the Holy Spirit, most people in Adventism today, they don't dig for the truth as for hidden treasures. If they have a thought, well, I wonder if this is truth, they run to their pastor or their elder and ask him. And the Holy Spirit, we know, was teaching and guiding us. Many theories were advanced, bearing a semblance of truth, but so mingled and misinterpreted and misapplied scriptures that they led to dangerous errors. Very well do we know how every point of truth was established and the seal set upon it by the Holy Spirit of God. She's saying the truth in this history was the sealing message for those pioneers, prefiguring our sealing message. All and all the time, voices were heard, here is truth, I have the truth, follow me. But the warning came, go ye not after them, I have not sent them, but they ran. The leadings of the Lord were marked. The leadings of the Lord were marked. She's already said we must carefully guard the way marks. The way mark is the mark along the way. Here's the line of prophecy. Historical events were set before the people. So if this is showing the direct fulfillment of prophecy, if this is one of the historical events that is placed upon this line showing the direct fulfillment of prophecy, this is where the Lord is marking this event. The leadings of the Lord were marked, and most wonderful were His revelations of what is truth. Point after point was established by the Lord God of heaven. Point after point, step after step, in their order. That which was truth then is no longer truth, is that what it says? That which was truth then is truth today. But the voices do not cease to be heard, this is truth, I have new light. But these new lights in prophetic lines are manifest in misapplying the word and setting the people of God adrift without an anchor to hold them. If the student of the word would take the truths which God has revealed in the leadings of His people and appropriate these truths, digest them, and bring them into their practical life, they would then be living channels of light. If you'd take the pioneer message and bring it into your life, you'd be a living channel of light. But those who have set themselves to study out new theories,

have a mixture of truth and error combined, and after trying to make these things prominent, have demonstrated that they have not kindled their taper from the divine altar, and it has gone out in darkness." The proclamation of the first, second, and third angel's message has been what? Located. This is an emphasis on where the first, second, and third angel's messages are on this line. They've been located by the word of inspiration. Not a peg or a pin is to be removed. No human authority has any more right to change the location of these messages than to substitute the New Testament for the Old. The Old Testament is the gospel in figures and symbols. The New Testament is the substance. One is as essential as the other. The Old Testament presents lessons from the lips of Christ, and these lessons have not lost their force in any particular. The first and second angel's messages were given in 1843 and 1844, and we're now under the proclamation of the third, but all three of the messages are still to be proclaimed. It is just as essential now as ever before that they shall be repeated to those who are seeking for the truth. By pen and voice, we are to sound the proclamation, now she's going to tell us what we're supposed to do by pen or voice, showing their order. And what's their order? The first, the second, the third angel's message. This is what we're supposed to teach by pen and voice, showing their order and the application of the prophecies that bring us to the third angel's message. So not only is she emphasizing where these messages come into history, she's saying that that's what we're supposed to be teaching, but in connection with that, she's saying we're supposed to teach what prophecies bring us to the third angel's message, what prophecies bring us to the second angel's message, what prophecy brings us to the first, the application of the prophecies that bring us to the third angel's message. Now she's being specific about no human has the right to change the order or remove a peg or pin. She says there cannot be a third without a first and a second. If you have a third, these two have to be right here, they have to be right there where they're supposed to be. It's in this chapter that the Holy Spirit is identifying the 3-1 combination, the reform lines. If you walk through this chapter careful, you can see how it was recognized back in 1989. These messages we are to give to the world in publications, in discourses. Now here's the punchline. Showing in the line of prophetic history the things that have been and the things that will be. As you set up this history of the Millerite time period, you are showing the things that have been in that history and what will be at the end of the world. So this is probably the bottom line emphasis of all this, is that this history is illustrating the end of the world. Now she says, the book that was sealed was not the book of Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel which related to the last days. When was Daniel unsealed? 1798. That was the time of the end, right? But notice what she's going to say. She just said that we're supposed to use this history to show the things that have been and the things that will be and now in this paragraph she takes us to the time of the end in 1798. She says, the book that was sealed was not the book of Revelation, but that portion of the prophecy of Daniel which related to the last days. And I would submit to you that the portion of the prophecy that related to the last days in the book of Daniel is the last six verses of Daniel 11, but the prophets are all speaking about the end of the world and at the end of the world it's describing the beginning of Adventism and the end of Adventism. So there's a time of the end at the beginning of Adventism that you can rightly apply this passage to. But if you notice, she's going to place her emphasis on the end of Adventism here. The scripture says, now she's going to quote right from Daniel 12. The scripture says, But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. When the book was opened, the proclamation was made, time shall be no longer. The book of Daniel is now unsealed. So she's talking about the unsealing in 1798. And the revelation made by Christ to John is to come to all the inhabitants of the earth. But notice what she's going to say here. By the increase of knowledge, a people is to be prepared to stand in the latter days. So now she's talking about Daniel 12 being unsealed at the time of the end and there's an increase of knowledge and she takes this history and says that there's going to be an increase of knowledge at the end of the world that's going to prepare God's people to stand in the latter days. So she's being consistent with herself, showing the things that have been and the things that will be. Now she quotes the first angel's message, Revelation 14, 6 and 7. And then she says, this message, if heeded, will call the attention of every nation, kindred and tongue and people to a close examination of the word and to the true light in regard to the power that has changed the seventh day Sabbath to a spurious Sabbath. What power is that? Papacy. The only true God has been forsaken. His law has been discarded. The sacred Sabbath institution has been trampled in the dust by the man of sin. The fourth commandment, so plain and explicit, has been ignored. The Sabbath memorial declaring who the living God is, the creator of heavens and earth, has been torn down and a spurious Sabbath has been given to the world in its place. Thus a breach has been made in the law of God. A false Sabbath could not be a true Sabbath. In the first angel's message, a false Sabbath could not be a true standard. In the first angel's message, men are called upon to worship God, our creator, who made the world and all things that are therein. They have paid homage to an institution of the papacy, making of no effect the law of Jehovah, but there is to be an increase of knowledge on this subject. So what she just said is that at the end of the world, when the book of Daniel is unsealed and what portion of the book of Daniel has been sealed up, according to her in this passage, that portion of the book of Daniel which related to the last days, Daniel 11, 40-45, when that's unsealed, there's going to be an increase of knowledge on the papacy and the Sunday Law. Okay, and that wasn't the increase of knowledge in 1798. What was the increase of knowledge in 1798? The time prophecies. Okay, so she's talking about by an increase of knowledge, a people is to be prepared to stand in the latter days and now she's telling us that the increase of knowledge which comes from that portion of the book of Daniel that related to the last days is an increase of knowledge on the papacy and the Sunday Law. All in this chapter where the Holy Spirit is identifying the reformed lines. The message proclaimed by the angel flying in the midst of heaven is the everlasting gospel, the same gospel that was declared in Eden when God said to the serpent, I will put enmity between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed. It shall bruise thy head and thou shalt bruise his heel. Now she's telling us that this history of the Millerites is the everlasting gospel and this of course is one of the keys of truth that has been opened up by the line of the tribe of Judah at the end of the world. The everlasting gospel is the work of Christ in producing two classes of worshippers based upon the introduction of a prophetic testing message and the clearest illustration of this is the Millerite history. Here a testing prophetic truth is unsealed at 1798 at the time of the end. There's an increase of knowledge and when you get to October 22nd, 1844, two classes of worshippers are demonstrated. One class has moved into the most holy place with Jesus Christ. The other class stays in the holy place and Satan is answering their prayers. This is Genesis 3.15. This is talking about the seed of Satan and the seed of Christ. So in this chapter where she's laying out the reform lines, she's also saying these reform lines are an illustration of the everlasting gospel. Next paragraph. In the 58th chapter of Isaiah, the work of those who worship God, the maker of heavens and earth is specified. They that shall be of these shall build the old waste places and shall raise up the foundations of many generations. Now remember, she's using the history of the Millerites right here in this passage saying that we're supposed to present the order and the location of these messages in this history and the application of the prophecies that bring us to these messages and she says and in doing so we will be showing the things that have been and the things that will be. Then she talks about an unsealing at the end of the world, the time at the end of the world. She says the increase of knowledge in this history will have to do with the papacy and the Sunday Law and it will come from that portion of the book of Daniel that related to the last days. It will be the King of the North, the last six verses of Daniel 11 and this truth, this increase of knowledge is what prepares God's people to stand in the latter days and then she says that this is the everlasting gospel thus saying that in our history this truth will reach a point just like in the Millerite history where two classes of worshipers are demonstrated from Adventism just like they were from the Millerite history and now she's saying that those people that are on the right side of the issue, what are they going to do? They're going to recover the old paths to walk in. She's just tying in Jeremiah 6, 16. You see it? Okay, next page in your notes, we'll pass over a couple paragraphs. Let's drop down to the bottom paragraph on page four of your notes where it says all that God has in prophetic history specified to be fulfilled in the past has been and all that is yet to come in its order will be. So all this back here, this is what she's talking about, this history of the Millerites, it came in its order, point by point, step by step and you have no right to change the location of these messages than you do to change the Old Testament for the New. But now she says all that is yet to come is going to come in its order. So what's coming, it's also going to come in a specific order just like that order. All that God has in prophetic history specified to be fulfilled in the past and all that is yet to come in its order will be. Daniel God's prophet stands in his place, John stands in his place. Now who opens up these truths? In the revelation, the Lion of the tribe of Judah has opened to the students of prophecy the book of Daniel and thus is Daniel standing in his place. He bears his testimony that which the Lord revealed to him in vision of the great and solemn events which are optional to understand as we stand on the threshold of their fulfillment. Is that what it says? Which we must know, the great and solemn events which we must know as we stand on the threshold of their fulfillment and who's opening it? Now the point is, she says the Lion of the tribe of Judah is opening the book of Daniel in the book of Revelation. When's the book of Daniel opened up? At the time of the end. Who opens it? And where does the Lion of the tribe of Judah open anything in the book of Revelation? In Revelation 5 and 6 onward, what's the Lion of the tribe of Judah opening? The seals. So the unsealing of the book of Daniel is the removing of the seven seals from the book that is sealed. She's just tied that together. She's letting us know that it's the Lion of the tribe of Judah that opens these truths. Now when was it that the Lion of the tribe of Judah began to open the truths for the Millerites? 1798 at the time of the end. So when's he going to start opening the truths to God's people at the end of the world? At the time of the end. And when was the time of the end? And when did he start opening this chapter up? 1989, the time of the end, right on time. And what are the great and solemn events that we must know as we stand up on the threshold of their fulfillment? It's these events. It's these events. It's these events. It's these events. Historical events were set before the people and prophecy was seen to be a figurative definition.

delineation of events leading down to the close of this earth's history. In other words, these histories, by setting forth these events, these way marks on this line, we will be showing the things that have been and the things that will be. Therefore, these way marks will parallel these way marks. You see the logic there? This is how this was recognized years ago. Next paragraph. In history and prophecy, the word of God portrays the long continued conflict between truth and error. That conflict is yet in progress. Those things which have been should be set aside. We're living in a modern world. Is that what it says? Those things which have been will be repeated. Old controversies will be revived and new theories will be continually arising. But God's people who in their belief and fulfillment of prophecy have acted a part in the proclamation of the first, second, and third angel's message know where they stand. They have an experience that is more precious than fine gold. They are to stand firm as a rock, holding the beginning of their confidence steadfast to the end. What's the beginning of their confidence? And she's talking about the people that acted a part in this history of the Millerites. What was the beginning of their confidence? This history. Where are they to hold it to? All the way to the end. That's you and I. We're supposed to hold on to the truths of this history all the way to the end of the world. A transforming power attended the proclamation of the first and second angel's message as it attends the message of the third angel. Lasting convictions were made upon human minds. The power of the Holy Spirit was manifested. There was a diligent study of the scriptures point by point. Almost entire nights were devoted to earnest searching of the word. We searched for truth as for hidden treasures. The Lord revealed himself to us. Light was shed on the prophecies and we knew that we had received divine instruction. The Lord revealed himself to us. He taught us about the doctrines of the Bible. This is not what she said. She said the Lord revealed himself to us and light was shed upon the prophecies and we knew that we had received divine instruction. When the Lord reveals himself to his people, he does so by opening up his prophetic word. And who is he? I want to put this in the record because we're going to deal with this. Who is he? If he's going to reveal himself to us, who is he? You say he's Alpha and Omega, but we haven't referenced. Here he's the Lion of the, he's been revealed as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. But she did say that by showing the things that have been, we will be showing the things that will be. So who's that? That's the Alpha and Omega. But what else does he reveal in this history? What did he primarily reveal? Time prophecy. So who is he there? If we're going to understand who Christ is, we're going to understand the fullness of who he is through his prophetic word. There's more that we're going to build on that as this series progresses. But he reveals himself through his prophetic word. Okay. The sentence paragraph, second from the bottom on page five. The Lord will not lead minds now to set aside the truth that the Holy Spirit has moved upon his servants in the past to proclaim. Put that with this chart and ask yourself the question, is it okay to say that even though Sister White says this chart was directed by the hand of the Lord and should not be altered, and she says that she saw that God was in the publication of this chart, is it okay for us to set aside some of these truths in agreement with this statement? The Lord will not lead minds now to set aside the truth that the Holy Spirit has moved upon his servants in the past to proclaim. Many will honestly search the word for light as those in the past have searched it, and they will see light in the word. But they did not pass over the ground in their experience when these messages of warning were first proclaimed. Not having had this experience, some do not appreciate the value of the truths that have been given, that have been to us as way marks, and that have made us a peculiar people, as a peculiar people what we are. They do not make a right application of the scriptures, and thus they frame theories that are not correct. It is true that they quote an abundance of scripture, and they teach much that is true, but truth is so mixed with error as to lead to wrong conclusions. Yet because they can weave scripture into their theories, they think that they have a straight chain of truth. Many who do not have an experience in the rise of the messages, except these erroneous theories, and are led into false paths, backward instead of forward, this is the enemy's design. So once again, she's still emphasizing the false teachers, but she's also saying that if you don't have an experience in this history, a personal experience, then you're more easily deceived. You're more easily led astray. Of course, there isn't anyone now alive that had an experience in this history. We have the pioneer writings. But this history is what? It's illustrating this history. So when we begin to repeat this history, there is a certain amount of confidence that we should have with those that were leading out in the beginning of this history, because they've had an experience in it. Whereas, some people may come in to this message here at the end, and they really, I've seen people do it, that they get excited by the 2520, and they accept it, and they want to teach the 2520, but they've never studied the last six verses of Daniel 11. They don't, they're not at that point, don't even know that it's something that they're supposed to understand necessarily, and then when they begin to study it, maybe they have some peculiar ideas about the last six verses of Daniel 11, the increase of knowledge that began this movement. So there's a similar understanding in this history. You have to be grounded in this whole message from beginning to end, and for those that are coming on at the end, they need to go back and look these things over and get settled into them before they move into presenting things that counterdict the original understanding. Page six of our notes. Satan is working that the history of the Jewish nation will be repeated in the experience of those who claim to believe present truth. That's history. May be repeated. What'd I say? Okay. Satan is working that the history of the Jewish nation may be repeated in the experience of those who claim to believe present truth. The Jews had the Old Testament scriptures and supposed themselves conversant with them, but they made a woeful mistake. The prophecies that refer to the glorious second appearing of Christ in the clouds of heaven, they regarded as referring to his first coming. Because he did not come in accordance to their expectations, they turned away from him. Satan knew just how to take these men in his net and deceive and destroy them. So we're not gonna be deceived about the first coming of Christ, because that's past history. But Satan's going to deceive us in a parallel way here at the end, or have possibility, attempt to, according to Sister White. But what was going on in the history of the Jews? What was the time of their visitation? And they were deceived about the dispensation of Jesus Christ. He was there to confirm the covenant with many for one week. But Sister White tells us that we're now living in the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. So our misconception that parallels the misconception of the Jews concerning Christ will have to do with the outpouring of the latter rain, the Holy Spirit. And there are definitely misconceptions and Adventism about this very thing that are preparing Adventism to accomplish a work that has been prefigured by the Jews when they participated in the crucifixion of Christ. So we've been forewarned about this. And what was it, according to this, that allowed the Jews to participate in the crucifixion of Christ? It was a prophetic misunderstanding. It was a prophetic misunderstanding. Next paragraph. The very same Satan is at work to undermine the faith of the people of God at this time. There are persons ready to catch up every new idea. The prophecies of Daniel and Revelation are misinterpreted. These persons do not consider that the truth has been set forth at the appointed time by the very men whom God was leading to do this special work. These men followed on step by step in the very fulfillment of prophecy. And those who have not had a prophet who have not had a personal experience in this work are to take the word of God and believe on their word who have been led by the Lord in the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages. These messages received and acted upon are doing their work to prepare a people to stand in the great day of God. And what prepares God's people to stand in the latter days, according to this chapter? An increase of knowledge. And what's the increase of knowledge going to be based upon? The Pope and the Sunday Law. And it's going to come from that portion of the prophecy of Daniel that related to the latter days, the last six verses of Daniel 11. So when you see these guys today teaching that the king of the north is Islam, printing books and getting invited to all the Adventist churches, first off, you can't sustain that from the word of God and the pastor that's doing that. The first thing he has to do to even come close, he changes the time of the end from 1798 to 1844. Okay, if you've looked at his work, which is a rejection of the spirit of prophecy and a foolish application of prophecy. But it's a counterfeit of this message that we're supposed to understand that was opened up at the time of the end of 1989. When you, there's a variety of false teachings about this message that was opened up in 1989, here in these last days. If we, now notice what she says. If we search the scriptures to confirm the truth God has given his servants for the world, I love this statement, if you wrap your mind around it. If we search the scriptures to confirm the truth that God has given his servants for the world, this here, okay. If we focus on understanding these truths, and believing that these are the truths that were set forth by the Holy Spirit as he led them step by step, what will we be doing? We shall be found proclaiming the first, second, and third angels' messages. Therefore, if we reject these truths, we aren't proclaiming the third angel's message, even if that's what we profess to be doing. If we search the scriptures to confirm the truth God has given his servants for the world, if we search the scriptures to prove why the 2520 is incorrect, we're gonna come with a bunch of man-made ideas about why the 2520 is incorrect, and we certainly will not be proclaiming the third angel's message. But if we search the scriptures to find out why this is correct, the line of the tribe of Judah, as we have seen, just continually opens up light to confirm this message of the 2520, and the other related prophecies. It is true that there are prophecies yet to be fulfilled, but very erroneous work has been done again and again, and will continue to be done by those who seek to find new light in prophecies, and who begin by turning away from the light God has already given. The message of Revelation 14 are those by which the world is to be tested, they are the everlasting gospel, and they are to be sounded everywhere. But the Lord does not lay upon those who have not had an experience in his work the burden of making a new exposition of those prophecies which he has, by his Holy Spirit, moved upon his chosen servants to explain. How clear is that? The last paragraph on that page, or page six, where she's talking about this brother who's doing this satanic work, she says, the light God has given me is that the scriptures you have woven together, you yourselves, do not fully understand. If you did, you would discern that your theories tear up the very foundation of the faith. This chart, the truths on this chart. Okay, there's a brother in Adventism that unfortunately has some severe enough mental problems that he has to always be on psych meds to keep his mental condition under control. But he has a ministry, and lots of people love to follow his ministry, and he sends out a newsletter. And he sent out a newsletter not too long ago.

ago, attacking the 2520 and those people that teach the 2520. But if I understand that he's on a regular regimen of psycho drugs, lithium, then why don't those people that are following his ministry understand that? It's easily available, and they should know it anyway. He's always talking about how the FBI is trying to catch him. If the FBI wanted to catch him, they would have caught him years ago. But he comes out with a newsletter attacking these messages, and his arguments are not valid, but my point is, are we supposed to put our confidence in people that are on drug medication? So notice the next page, page 7, the second paragraph. The hardest task I ever had to do in this line, dealing with people that were teaching false prophecy, was in dealing with one who I knew wanted to follow the Lord. For some time he thought he was obtaining new light. He was very ill and must soon die. And oh, how my heart hoped he would not make it necessary for me to tell him just what he was doing. Those to whom he presented his views listened to him eagerly, and some thought him inspired. He had a chart made and reasoned from the scriptures to show that the Lord would come at a certain date in 1894, I think. To many his reasoning seemed to be without flaw, without a flaw. They told of his powerful exhortations in his sick room. Most wonderful views passed before him, but what was the source of his inspiration? It was the morphine given him to relieve his pain. At our camp meeting in Lansing, Michigan, just before I came to Australia, I had to speak plainly in regard to this new light. I told the people that the words they had heard were not the truth of inspiration. The wonderful light which presented such a show of truth was the result of a misapplication of scripture. The Lord would not close, the Lord's work would not close up in 1894. The word of the Lord to me was, this is not truth, but will lead into strange paths and some will become confused over this misrepresentation who will give up the faith. So there's a lot there, but we shouldn't be following men that have to use psycho meds to keep their head on straight. We want to help labor with them to get into heaven and obtain salvation, but they're not to be followed as leaders. But God's people do it anyway. This brother, of course, was fixing time, which is a subject all of its own, still in play today, still in play in this movement. No one has a true message fixing the time when Christ is to come or not to come, but I like this next sentence. Be assured that God gives no one authority to say that Christ delays his coming five years, ten years or twenty years. So we're to have the attitude, according to this, that Christ is going to come within the next five years. To say that he's not coming in five years, we don't have the authority to say that. So we're supposed to understand that his return is imminent. Be also ready, for in such an hour as you think not, the Son of Man cometh. This is our message, the very message that the three angels flying in the midst of heaven are proclaiming. The work to be done now is that of sounding this last message of mercy to a fallen world. A new life is coming from heaven and taking possession of all God's people. But divisions will come in the church. Oh really? Ellen White says that? I thought that was an argument against this message, is that it was divisive. But here she's saying that when the three angels' message is presented, divisions will come into the church. Two parties will be developed. This is the everlasting gospel. The third angel's message produces two classes of worshippers. It causes a division. The wheat and tares grow up together for the harvest. The work will grow deeper and become more earnest to the very close of time. And all who are laborers together with God will contend most earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. They will contend for these messages here. They will not be turned from the present message which is already lightening the earth with its glory. Now she's saying that these messages here are the messages of Revelation 18. Grammatically you can't get around it. Same paragraph. She says, all who are laborers together with God will contend most earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. They will not be turned from the present message which is already lightening the earth with its glory. Nothing is worth contending for but the glory of God. The only rock that will stand is the rock of ages and Sister White says the truths on this chart are the rocks of ages with a capital R. The truth as it is in Jesus is the refuge in these last days of error. Prophecy has been fulfilling how? Line upon line. This chapter is teaching the reformed lines. Prophecy has been fulfilling line upon line. Where does she get that phrase from? Isaiah 28. The more firmly we stand under the banner of the third angel's message the more clearly we shall understand the prophecy of Daniel for Revelation is a supplement of Daniel. Well what's the banner of the third angel's message? Because if we stand under the banner of the third angel's message it goes on to say the more fully we accept the light presented by the Holy Spirit through the consecrated servants of God the deeper and surer even as the eternal throne will appear the truths of ancient prophecy. We shall be assured that men of God spake as they were moved upon by the Holy Ghost. Men must themselves be under the influence of the Holy Spirit in order to understand the Spirit's utterances through the prophets. These messages were given not for those who uttered the prophecies but for us who are living amid the scenes of their fulfillment. If we're going to understand the truths of ancient prophecies, if we're going to have confidence that our understanding is correct, we must stand under the banner of the third angel's message. So what is the banner of the third angel's message that allows us to understand the truths of ancient prophecy? The third angel's message, the banner of the third angel's message is the three-one combination. The three angel's messages that came into history in the Millerite history and lead up to the fourth angel's message of Revelation 14. When we use this as the banner to stand underneath it is what opens up the truths of ancient prophecy and it's right here in this chapter. This isn't about what the doctrines connected with the three angel's messages in Revelation 14 are. It's about some type of banner that allows you to recognize the ancient prophecies clearly and correctly and at the same time develop confidence that you know that God's people were being led by God in this history. It's the three-one combination. It's the link in a chain that can be recognized from Adam all the way to the second coming of Christ and beyond. Next paragraph, bottom of the paragraph. If we are not called to prophesy, we are called to believe the prophets and to cooperate with God in giving light to other minds. This we are trying to do. Okay, then she emphasizes one more time, which she often does, that we're to hold the beginning of our confidence firm and to the end. In the fourth paragraph on page eight, page nine, the third paragraph on page nine says, While you hold the banner of truth firmly, proclaiming the law of God, let every soul remember that the faith of Jesus is connected with the commandments of God. The third angel is represented as flying in the midst of heaven, crying with a loud voice. Here are they that keep the commandments of God in the faith of Jesus. The first, second, and third angels' messages are all linked together. The evidences of the abiding, ever-living truth of these grand messages that mean so much to us, that have awakened such intense opposition from the religious world, cannot be extinguished. Satan is constantly seeking to cast his hellish shadow about these messages. As he's trying to cover up these messages, now she's going to tell us what he tries to cover up, so that the remnant people of God shall not clearly discern their import, their time, and place. The second angel's message arrived in 1842, in June. That's its place. The first angel's message was empowered on August 11th, 1840. That's its place. It arrived in 1798. The second angel's message was empowered at the midnight cry in the summer of 1844, the Exeter camp meeting. The third angel's message arrived on October 22nd, 1844, and it was empowered on 9-11, 2001. This is what Satan's trying to prevent us from understanding. The import, the time, and the place where they arrived. Therefore, kind of in a reverse way, it's placing an emphasis on why we should understand these things. As she says that, within two paragraphs, she's quoting Revelation 18, and then in her final paragraph, on page 10, after she takes us into the third angel's message in Revelation 18, she says this, when Jesus began his public ministry, he cleansed the temple from its sacrilegious profanation. Among the last act of his ministry was the second cleansing of the temple. So, in the last work for the warning of the world, two distinct calls are made to the churches. Point being, she closes this off with emphasizing the two temple cleansings. This is part of this message, too. So, what I'm saying is that in 1989, this chapter became a focus of study, and from this chapter was recognized these reformed lines. But, so what? Have you ever recognized something that you thought was interesting, but so what? What are you going to do with it? But it was recognized. We were in secular employment, and in the desert of California, and had not the slightest thought about doing anything with that study. It was just an interesting study, and it was just something you played with from time to time after you went through it. You didn't know what it meant. I didn't know what it meant. And then Bill Clinton was elected president, and Bill Clinton immediately, being the good liberal that he was, he shut down the military complex in the United States. So, in the little town where we had a good, thriving construction business, out in the middle of the desert, in a town that supported a Navy base, that had three to four hundred new housing starts every year, when Bill Clinton takes over, he shuts down the military growth, and those housing starts, they drop from three or four hundred new starts in one year, down to like ten starts. So, anyone that's in the construction business in that town is suddenly wondering what you're going to do for work. So, we start laying off people. We had a bunch of people working for us, and one brother, he has a great aptitude for many things. He went and got a job at Hope International, because he could run their printing presses, and he took with him a study that we had did on the last six verses of Daniel 11, and he handed them off to the leader of that ministry up there that was going on a trip, and said, you ought to read this when you're flying over there, and when he came back from that trip, he says, we need this guy up here. He has the best understanding on Daniel 11 that I've ever heard. So, through that process, we end up going up to Hope International to work, and Hope International at that time, this is right at the time period when, if you're familiar with that history, that the General Conference was in an argument with the self-supporting ministries, it was with Heartland and Hope and Steps to Life, and they'd just written a book called Issues, where they were explaining why you shouldn't have anything to do with self-supporting ministries, and you certainly shouldn't give them any financial support, and these ministries were responding with their responses to the Issues book, and at that point in time, Hope and Heartland and Steps to Life, they were the focus of the General Conference, okay? There was a shaking going on in that history, and at that time, Hope International was one of the people on the walls, because they were dealing with all this apostasy that had come in, particularly since Desmond Ford. So I got up there, and the leader of that ministry, and for those of you that are his defenders, and there are many of you, if you are honest, you can't deny this, and if you deny it, you're dishonest. This man was one of the most impulsive, the leader up there, impulsive and impatient men that you'll ever meet. When he wanted to do something, he did it, and if it didn't happen right away, then he pushed for it, and everyone that knows him knows that's the truth. So I'm up there and working, and I meet this

guy that this impulsive leader had hired. And I'm talking to him, he's going to be his new printer, okay, he's going to run the print shop, because he was a printer. And I'm talking to this guy, and he just was baptized a couple of weeks ago. I said, you were just baptized into Adventism, and here you are at Hope International, do you know where you're at? You're baptized into Adventism, and now you're here right in the firing line, where, you know, and as we're talking, I ask him about Ellen White. He's going, who's Ellen White? I said, what? You're working at Hope International, and you don't even know who Ellen White is? I thought, there's another evidence of this man's impulsiveness, would invite someone to work in a ministry like this, that hasn't any clue about the spirit of prophecy. So I said, brother, let's start, let's have a Bible study. I figure I have a responsibility to teach him about the spirit of prophecy. He agrees. So he comes over, Kathy and I begin having a Bible study there, one night a week, or two nights a week, I forget, and before long, there's 10 or 15 people from Hope International that are coming to this Bible study, and what do you suppose I'm sharing with them? This here, this chapter. So that's a perfect spot to begin, to get him settled into this history. So there is a camp meeting coming up at Hope International, and as we're going through this study over several weeks, the people that are working at Hope International, they're coming under conviction that this is good information. The reason the leader was willing to invite me up there, is he'd been under conviction over the last six verses of Daniel 11, and in that time period, we started writing a series of articles over the last six verses of Daniel 11, that were going in one a month, for a year, that covered those verses. But ultimately, these people that are having this Bible study, they go into the planning committee for this camp meeting and say, hey man, you need to let Jeb Pippenger do this study that we've been studying during the week. And so the first time I ever publicly presented anything, it was this presentation, 1995. And here you can see the conclusion of the prophetic timeline. This is all there was. This is amazing that this is all there was. And from 1989 until 1995, the first time this was publicly presented, and one of the things I want to emphasize, the first thing that got publicly presented was not the last six verses of Daniel 11. It was these reformed lines. And all you have here is the darkness that precedes it, that had been figured out, and that the second message was a revival, and the fourth was a revival, and the second and the fourth were a repeat, and there was a disappointment that followed the third message, and that it was sin, righteousness, and judgment. But that was 1995. After 1995, these reformed lines are so complex now with so much information on them that it is unbelievable. But in our next presentation, we want to move a step further with these. And the purpose of this study is to focus in on this history here, this history of Adventism, because from here to here, this is when Christ is visiting the Seventh-day Adventist church. And when the first message is empowered in our history, as was it empowered in all the other histories on 9-11, then the time of visitation becomes life or death. So we want to focus in on this, but we want to do it in the context of the fact that the Lion of the tribe of Judah opened this specific study up to give a warning to Adventism in this history from 9-11 to the Sunday Law. Shall we pray? Heavenly Father, we are amazed at the work that you have done in the past and the work that you are doing presently among your people. But we understand that this is the work of the everlasting gospel, and that we have the possibility of being in one of two classes. We ask that you would give us the wisdom and the discernment and the courage to follow you wherever you go, that we might end up in the right class of worshipers in the near future at the Sunday Law. We thank you for allowing us to be among those that are hearing these truths, considering these truths. We ask that you would accomplish your will with them, that your word would not return unto your voice. We ask that you would watch over us this day of work, bless us throughout the rest of this day, and continue to bless the live streaming and the DVD production we ask in Jesus' name. Amen. you
