on page 63 of the notes. And if you look over these notes, you'll see that they're a bit redundant in connection with the entire weekend here, and even in connection with the last presentation, some of these things were taken up. What we are understanding here at the end of the world is that the Latter Rain message, the shut door message, comes to God's people and it causes a shaking, a purification process among them just prior to the close of probation at the Sunday Law. In order for the Lord to establish and identify the Latter Rain message, there is a technique that is identified in Isaiah, and in your notes you have Isaiah 28, verses 9-13, and it says, Whom shall you teach knowledge? And in every one of these Reform movements of sacred history, there is an increase of knowledge that begins and marks the beginning of that sacred history, and that increase of knowledge is followed by the understanding that there would be students of prophecy that began to run to and fro in God's Word and understand that increase of knowledge. They're the ones that are made to understand the increase of knowledge, the doctrine. But in Daniel 12, where we get this information about the increase of knowledge and those running to and fro, he also informs us that it's only the wise that understand the increase of knowledge, but the wicked do not understand. There's a purification process that's accomplished in each one of these Reform movements through the increase of knowledge, and all of those sacred Reform movements of the past are prefiguring and pointing to the one that we're in now. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989, Daniel 11, verse 40, was fulfilled. The time of the end for the 144,000 had arrived, and students of prophecy began to understand from God's Word that the first verse of the final six verses of Daniel 11 had been fulfilled, and they further began to understand that the implications of this was that verse 41, the very next verse, was identifying a Sunday law in the United States where the door of probation would be closed upon God's modern Israel. This is the shut door controversy. This is the basis of the shaking that began around 1992, before it was published. There was already controversy over this message. This shut door controversy has continued to this very time. As the light has increased, the Lord, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, has directed us back to these Reform lines in order to understand this Reform line. He did so through the teaching technique that is identified here in Isaiah, where it says, Whom shall they make to understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk and drawn from the breast. Them that are refusing to drink the milkshakes that are distributed to God's people here at the end of the world that are closing their ears and closing their eyes to what's about to take place on planet Earth. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, here a little and there a little. The teaching technique that illustrates that we are in the latter rain is a technique that brings the prophetic lines of the sacred Reform movements from here in the Bible and there in the Bible together in order to illustrate the sequence of events that takes place in the final Reform movement of the 144,000. This is how we can say with confidence, based upon the word of God, that in 1989, the time at the end for the 144,000 had arrived and with the fulfillment of Daniel 11 verse 40 and the increase of knowledge began at that time and students of prophecy began to run to and from God's word and understand this increase of knowledge and this controversy began. But it's an increase of knowledge. It continues to develop. There was more light than simply the collapse of the Soviet Union. I reached a point in this development of truth where God indicated that we were now in the latter rain time period when the Twin Towers in New York City were brought down on September 11, 2001. This can be illustrated by bringing Reform line upon Reform line from here a little and from there a little. The next verse says, for with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to his people. This truth that is found in all the Reform lines is much of what we've been dealing with here this week. It was God's desire, it was his purpose, it was his greatest wish that the leadership of the Seventh-day Adventist Church would have been those among the people that were running to and fro after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 and recognized the increase of knowledge and had been those that were the foremost in identifying that the final events leading to the close of probation were underway. But as in all the Reform movements, this didn't take place. And in all the Reform movements, there is a lesson that is also mentioned here by Isaiah that it will be with stammering, untrained, uneducated lips that the Lord will speak to the people that are represented as the 144,000. And he will speak to his people of the latter rain through this teaching techniques. And the next verse says, to whom he said, this is the rest wherewith you may cause the weary to rest. And this is the refreshing yet they would not hear. Sister White in Great Controversy 611 makes it very simple to identify that the rest and refreshing of Isaiah, of Peter and the book of Acts is the latter rain. Isaiah here is making sure that we understand that it's speaking about a message because it's something that these people of Adventism will not hear. The rest, the refreshing is the latter rain. The latter rain message is illustrated, established by the technique of bringing prophetic line of the Reform movements upon another Reform line, upon another Reform line, upon another Reform line to illustrate the sequence of events that takes place during the history of the latter rain. And this message when brought to God's people is a message that they will refuse to hear because they're addicted to milk. And they are also, we are all fulfilling the typology of William Miller because William Miller represents both classes of Adventism, both the wise and the foolish virgins. In one sense he represents those of us that have been conditioned to trust in men. In one sense he represents those among us that will have the privilege of fulfilling the Elijah message here at the end of the world. This testing message is definitely a testing message. It's something they refuse to hear and this final verse says, but the word of the Lord, the word of the Lord to them, to who? To those that would not hear this message, the word of the Lord to them was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, hear a little and dare a little that they might go and fall backward and be broken and snared and taken. This argument over the latter rain message and Daniel 11, 40 to 45 is where Adventism is divided into two classes as were the Millerites, divided into two classes by the message that William Miller brought. At the end of their history in October 23, 1844, the Millerites were either in the most holy place with Christ or they were in the holy place with Satan. They had produced two classes. What produced those two classes was the increase of knowledge that began at the time of the end in 1798 and tested that generation. Our increase of knowledge began in 1989. It is testing this generation and it is also our increase of knowledge that is illustrating that we are now in the history of the latter rain and this generation is rejecting that message as illustrated in the history of Jones and Wagner in the 1888 time period. In Jeremiah 6, 16 and 17, which we've dealt a lot with in agreement with this second testimony to this, it says, thus sayeth the Lord, stand ye in the ways and see and ask for the old paths where is the good way and walk therein and you shall find rest for your soul. But they said, we will not walk therein. The latter rain message includes the returning to the foundations of Adventism as foundations and pillars as represented upon these two tables that the Lord gave modern Israel when he entered into covenant with them in the Millerite history. When the time comes that the Lord leads his people back to the old path, it is the time period of the latter rain. Because if you return to the old path, you receive the rest, which is the latter rain. Once again, in the time period of the latter rain, when there's a message to return, God's people say, we will not walk therein, thus identifying this rebellious attitude that causes the shaking among God's people. Verse 17 says, I set watchmen over you, saying, hearken unto the sound of the trumpet. But they said, we will not hearken. It's only when you return to these old paths that you have the biblical justification for identifying the seventh trumpet as Islam. If you do not return to the old paths and accept the premise that the first woe is Islam and the second woe is Islam, you do not have the biblical justification for identifying the third woe as Islam arriving back into prophetic history on September 11, 2001. The trumpet message for this generation during the time period of the latter rain that God's people refuse to hear is the message concerning Islam and September 11, 2001. But they said, we will not hearken. Now in Isaiah 30, this is outside your notes, when Dario was sharing last time, I recognized something and I asked him about it to make sure it wasn't just me reading my own understanding into it, but I was pretty sure it was right even before I asked him, but he sees it too. So if you turn there, he was sharing last time concerning these old paths. He developed it from verse eight, write it in the book forever for a time to come. Write this testimony for the end of the world, that this is a rebellious people. Verse nine, they've rejected the law of the Lord. They reject the spirit of prophecy in verse 10 saying, prophesy to us smooth things. And then he addressed verse 11, it says, get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path. And of course the path that they're turning aside out of in the context of what we're looking at is the old paths. We will not walk in the old path. And this attitude of not returning to old paths leads them to the point where they say cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. But I want to add to what he was teaching there that William Miller represents either the saved or the lost in Adventism at the end of the world, and he represents Adventism going through this very testing process. The testing process that takes place during the controversy of the shut door. William Miller made his wrong choices after 1844 when they were having a controversy over what the shut door was. Our controversy over the shut door precedes the close of our probation. Their controversy followed the close of probation. In the atmosphere of the controversy of the shut door, William Miller represents those among us that first trust in men and then reject the validity of the seventh month movement, the midnight cry. If you look closely at that history, I'm convinced, but I have no say to the Lord, I'm convinced that part of the reason that Ellen White received her first vision about the path and the bright light being set up behind it and that those that denied the bright light fell off the path was the Lord's special effort to touch William Miller. That was her first vision. It was in December of 1844 and the Lord knew the direction that William Miller was going to take and in his mercy he was hoping that that light would get to him and it didn't. In that first vision, the mistake of William Miller was trusting in men and then rejecting that the midnight cry in the seventh month movement was of the Lord and he's prefiguring those of us that trust in men and then reject the lattering message which has been typified by the midnight cry message and then thereafter he rejects the third angel's message and rejects the Sabbath and we will, those of us that reject this lattering message in the controversy of the shut door will ultimately reject the third angel's message and receive the mark of the beast. So, when we go to this verse and it says, I'm in verse 11, verse 11, Isaiah 30, I might not have said that, okay, verse 11, get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path and cause the Holy One to cease from before us. The path that they don't want to get on at the end of the world is the old path, alright. It's these truths but the symbol of this history, the symbol of these truths is the seventh month movement and the midnight cry. If you're going to reject the midnight cry, you are rejecting these truths, that history, that's the symbol of it, that's the message of Sister White's first vision, not just the midnight cry, you reject the midnight cry, you're rejecting that entire history. So when we return to the old path, we're returning to that history, we must accept The Midnight Cry and all the implications connected to it from that history. So at the end of the world here in verse 11, when it says, get ye out of the way, turn aside out of the path, this is where they're rejecting the Midnight Cry as Miller did. But in Ellen White's first vision, there was a bright light set up behind them and it shed light all along the path and those that denied that bright light fell off the path but in front of them, in front of them there was a light. What was the light in front of them? Jesus and he raised his right hand, glorious right arm. So notice here in verse 11, get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, reject the Midnight Cry, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. When you're going up that path, the Holy One of Israel is before you. When you reject the Midnight Cry, you're also saying, I don't want the light in front of me either and you fall off the path. This verse is directly connected with Sister White's first vision and the history of the Millerites and the testing process that has been typified by William Miller as what takes place among those of us that receive the Mark of the Beast at the end of the world, in the very near future because we have first trusted in men. In every generation, back to your notes, page 63. For his church in every generation, God has a special truth and a special work. The truth that is hid from the worldly wise and prudent is revealed to the childlike and humble. He calls for self-sacrifice. It has battles to fight and victories to win. At the outset, its advocates are very few. We have tried to focus in here this weekend that yes, in every generation there is a special truth. But we've added to that understanding is that the special truth for every generation is a shut door message. So when you have all the voices in Adventism saying this is the message, this is the message, this is the teaching, you just have to analyze it and say well, is there a shut door in that message that parallels all these other shut doors and suddenly all those voices stand out as distractions at best, but no doubt false shepherds. 1 Peter 1 and 19. We all have also a more sure word of prophecy where unto you do well that you take heed as unto a light that shineth in a dark place until the day dawn and the day star rise in your heart. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of men, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying that the Lord that brought them and bring upon them self-swift destruction. This is the hard part of this message. We can read from the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy that within God's church there are false teachers. And we can know who some of them are easily if we want to. Some of them are just obvious. But when we start taking this down to the very core of what's being said, the first quote that Brother Dario shared says, you may be presenting some phases of the truth, but if you're not presenting a message that's based upon the message of 1843 and 1844, you are going to become a false shepherd if you aren't already. So when you have that to narrow down who the false teachers are in Adventism, then it becomes a little bit more touchy about marking who is and who isn't on this old path. We've read this before, but ever since the first promise of redemption was spoken in Eden, the life, the character, and the meditatorial work of Christ have been the study of human minds. Yet every mind through whom the Holy Spirit has worked has presented these themes in the light that is fresh and new. The truths of redemption are capable of constant development and expansion. Though old, they are ever new, constantly revealing to the seeker for truth a greater glory and mightier power. In every age, there's a new development of truth, a message of God to the people of that generation. The old truths are essential. New truth is not independent of old, but an unfolding of it. It is only as the old truths are understood that we can comprehend the new. When Christ opened 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 themselves. But it is the light which shines in the fresh unfolding of truth that glorifies 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. There are those who profess to believe and teach the truth of the Old Testament while they reject the new, but in refusing to receive the teachings of Christ they show that they do not believe that which patriarchs and prophets have spoken. Had you believed Moses, Christ said, you would have believed me, for he wrote of me. Hence there is no real power in their teaching of even the Old Testament. Many who claim to believe and teach the gospel are in a similar error. They set aside the Old Testament scriptures of which Christ declared, they are they which testify of me. In rejecting the old, they virtually reject the new, for both are parts of an inseparable whole. No man can rightly present the law of God without the gospel, or the gospel without the law. The law is the gospel embodied, and the gospel is the law unfolded. The law is the root, the gospel is the fragrant blossom and the fruit which it bears. Brothers and sisters, we understand correctly in Adventism that when Christ moved into the most holy place on October 22nd, 1844, those people that understood this truth were to move into that most holy place with him and understand the work that he was accomplishing there. That's truth, but that's old truth. But that old truth still impacts the new truth. That old truth says that those people that are in the most holy place, they must understand what Christ is doing in the most holy place. And today there are men in Adventism that will teach that old truth, but fight against the idea that we're now in the sprinkling of the latter rain. They fight against that truth because they do not realize what Christ is doing in the most holy place at this time. And what Christ is doing in the most holy place at this time is the judgment of the living, where the sins of God's people are being blotted out. Now, at this time in Earth's history, in order to be in agreement with that old truth, we need to understand what Christ is doing in the most holy place yet there are voices among us that will teach that old truth while at the same time deny this new truth, and they're false teachers and they're false watchmen. And this change in dispensations can be identified clearly when you bring line upon line together because in all the reformed lines you'll see that Christ is illustrating a change of dispensation. In the reformed line of Noah, the worship changed from the Garden of Eden to altars. Reformed line of Moses, the worship changed from altars to the earthly sanctuary. John the Baptist, from earthly sanctuary to heavenly sanctuary. All these reformed lines teach that one of the things that we need to understand in these special messages, in these special histories, is that there's a change of dispensation that takes place in the worship of God's people as they relate to Christ and in this time period the new light is is that he's now in the judgment of the living but there be those among us that teach the truth at the beginning of Adventism but deny the new light and they demonstrate that they didn't even understand the truth in the beginning because part of that truth is that Christ was changing dispensations and they needed to understand his movements. The 144,000 are those that follow the Lamb. Whithersoever he goeth and where he goes is through the seven candlesticks and when you take those histories of the seven churches you are establishing these histories of these reformed lines and you see that one of the places that the line of the tribe of Judah moves through history is he changes dispensations this is to be understood and it's not and this is what she's talking about partially here we've dealt with a bunch of this so it makes it easy or it makes it redundant history repeated John was told to go take the little book we have to take the little book we've been dealing with that much and you've heard often or at least I have Dario quote this quote on the bottom of the page page 64 from Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary speaking of John taking the little book and eating it she says the comprehension of truth the glad reception of the message is represented in the eating of the little book we have to take these truths that the line of the tribe of Judah is opening up before us and we have to eat it it has to become part of us now in these meetings I don't know everyone in these meetings and we're a smaller number today than yesterday so I knew less of the people yesterday than I know now but in this meeting this weekend there was two different sisters that I met face to face for the first time that aren't Adventists the one started studying these truths about a year ago and she's into it and unlike Seventh-day Adventist she says I have no problem with the spirit of prophecy this is a prophet her words are true the other sister started studying these things in November what's that? six months? same testimony about the spirit of prophecy she says I don't understand everything yet but I'm going to she's eating this little book she's the comprehension is sweet in her mouth okay but it doesn't stop there the next problem that we're confronted with once we understand that is identified by Ezekiel and Jeremiah and Darius has been reading some of these passages when we eat that little book then we have a message to carry to the house of Israel the house of Israel has to hear these things has to hear these things and you have these passages in your notes we've went over them I'm turning to page 66 and you have a you have a study here sorry on page 66 of the watchmen in the Bible all the watchmen in the Bible are either representing the watchmen of the Millerite history or the watchmen here at the end of the world during the time period of the 144,000 they're representing both you have to see them in both histories in Ezekiel 3 under a watchman it says it came to pass at the end of seven days that the word of the Lord came unto me saying son of man I've made thee a watchman under the house of Israel therefore hear the word at my mouth and give them warning from me who is the watchman in the Millerite history the symbol of it there were several but who was the primary William Miller and William Miller was made a watchman at the end of seven days because the 2520 ended in 1798 at the end of seven days a day for a year seven years the end of the 2520 he was raised up and as we've shown in here Sister White is clear that the Lord gave him the understanding of the 2520 so he may not have understood that he was represented by Ezekiel but he was the watchmen of Adventism here at the end of the world they're raised up at the end of the 2520 but there is time no longer there is time no longer but they're raised up here when the understanding of the 2520 is brought to light the Millerites understood both 2520s the one that begins in 723 and the one that begins in 677 but their struggle was which one applies and Miller he was focused on the second coming of Christ so he said the one that we need to deal with in prophecy is the one that ends at the end of the world and he chose 677 after that in 1855 56 Hyrum Edson says no it should have been the one that began in 723 here at the end of the world God's people have come to understand concerning the 2520 that both of them should be applied they did so at the time period when the Lord is leading his people back to the foundations we don't have time but some of you in this room I know have looked at William Miller's second dream William Miller's second dream when the dirt brush man comes in and is brushing the rubbish out the window is identifying a parallel to the increase of knowledge that began in 1798 when the line of the tribe of Judah began to unseal the truth to them William Miller's dream is identifying a time at the end of the world where the dirt brush man the line of the tribe of Judah was going to unseal truth to his people and one of those truths that he was going to unseal is the 2520 the watchmen here at the end of the world were also raised up at the time period that the 2520 is being fulfilled and we haven't got time to go through William Miller's dream but you'll see the seven times in William Miller's dream that take place before the dirt mush man arrives. Watchmen are the Millerites and the 144,000. Let's go to the Watchmen of Zion on page 67, Ezekiel 33. You could we don't have to read it you can see it on your in your notes where it's talking about the Watchmen. The Watchmen sounds the trumpet. The message that empowered Miller's message was a message that came from the sixth trumpet. It was the message identifying the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the second world. That's what empowered the Millerite movement. If you read the Millerite understanding they understood that this was marking the close of probation. This was this was connected with their close of probation message is the sixth trumpet. The collapse of the Ottoman Empire on August 11, 1840 and that's what empowered their movement brought the angel down from heaven. That's the Watchmen of the Millerite history. That was their trumpet. Our trumpet is the seventh trumpet. It's the third woe. It's what brings the angel down out of heaven. When the angel came down out of heaven on August 11, 1840 what Sister White highlights about that is that it confirmed the rules of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates. If you care to analyze the increase of knowledge that's taken place since 1989 it's a public record. It it's a thorough public record. You will find that the rules that have been adopted by the students of prophecy since the collapse of the Soviet Union in fulfillment of Daniel 11 verse 40 in 1989. The rules that they've come to understand and apply in order to identify what the last six verses of Daniel 11 are the rules that also allow them to identify that 9-11 is the beginning of the latter rain, the beginning of the judgment of the living. Those rules were confirmed on August 11, 1840. Those rules were confirmed for the world to see and decide whether they would be impacted by the fact that these rules work or reject it anyway. For us it's reversed. On September 11, 2001 those rules were confirmed for Adventism to decide whether they say yes the rules these students of prophecy are employing are valid or these rules don't matter. I'm going to keep walking in darkness but it's the rules that were recognized before the collapse of those two twin towers that are the identical rules that allow you to demonstrate. For instance you know you talk about certain figures in Adventism that had warred against this message. One of them Ray DiCarlo he's had he's warred against it across the board. He fights on on the shut door. He's he doesn't believe that the glorious land is the United States. He thinks it's a seventh-day Adventist church. He believes a lot of things that way but he's he's fought against it for years and because of that argument those of us that were grappling with it we came across an argument just for that argument. That argument was hey when pagan Rome took control of the world it had to first conquer three geographical areas and when it conquered those the third geographical area then it ruled the world supremely for 360 years in fulfillment of Daniel 11 verse 24 and papal Rome before it ruled the world supremely for 1260 years it had to overcome three geographical areas and when it conquered the third it ruled supremely for 1260 years. Therefore when modern Rome takes control of the world I'm sorry brother Ray the king of the south river is has to be a geographical area the glorious land has to be a geographical area and Egypt has to be a geographical area. So in the midst of the shut door controversy students of prophecy that are that are grappling with defending this what they discover is a triple application of prophecy. If you take the characteristics of pagan Rome and combine it with papal Rome you're establishing the characteristics of modern Rome and sure enough when it comes to 9-11 you need to be able to prove before the brethren that if the first war was Islam and the second war was Islam then the third war was Islam. Those rules were established before 9-11 they were confirmed at 9-11 just as Miller's rules were confirmed on August 11th 1840. It's all a matter of public record but under dumb dogs we understand that in this history there will be two types of watchmen some types of watchmen that have a peace and safety message and then watchmen that are telling God's people probation is about to close and that the structure of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is about to be removed, overturned, overturned, overturned. But the promise is in Isaiah 62 6 that the Lord will set watchmen on the walls and they will not keep silent. Now I happen to believe what I teach. I believe probation is about to close and I've developed for myself these are just for myself they may or may not be valid or even if they're valid they may not be important but it as I've participated in the development of this message I have found that it's the line of the tribe of Judah that has led into understanding of all these things. I've watched I used to my wife could give testimony how many times I've said you know I can't imagine any other light that the Lord's gonna bring this has got to be the complete package of it before long here's something else that's people are understanding and you know here's a new component to this message so I learned and she can give testimony of these conversations I learned a long time ago don't don't ever think you're done with the line of the tribe of Judah producing more light that's going to show you that you really don't know anything okay because he does it all all the way along all right. So in that experience I've developed certain understandings about how this increase of knowledge takes place and one of them is is that it's on God's timetable he and he's in control of it he does it purposely he does it to set up opponents and then brings the next argument to set them back down all right he's done he's done things like that he does things to strengthen the confidence of those people that are studying these things but one of the things that I've noticed about this is the Lord will reveal things in this message that is telling you to put in an emphasis to let you know that what that is teaching is about to take place what I mean by that I'm having trouble articulating it these two charts the line of the tribe of Judah has now placed them in a prophetic position the arguments are there where it's unshakable these represent Christ they represent the covenant that he entered into with the Millerites and they represent his promise to enter into the covenant with the hundred and forty four thousand and if you refuse to come back on this platform you're going to be lost and he is producing this truth and putting it above any controversy any argument and in so doing he is identifying for anyone that will hear that probation is about to close the Sunday law is about to arrive we're there we're there that's how I understand it there isn't there isn't several years left brothers and sisters there just isn't time left so when we get to the understanding of the shut door where now from the scriptures and the spirit of prophecy we can see that that part of the battle that ensues is a leadership that's unwilling to return to these old paths but a leadership that is now in various ways publicly fighting this public fights demand that there's a public response okay and I know this causes people a headache you know I've mentioned a few names here but you know when it comes to the biblical research department of the Seventh-day Adventist Church one of the men there named Gerard Fandel was in Europe and he told a group of people there after a meeting and this amazes me from my from my understanding he says in the biblical research department I'm the expert on Daniel and John Pauline is the expert on Revelation I have two problems with that no Angel Rodriguez here's the problem I have with it what I've understood from my experience with the Word of God and and I can give you a very nice sermon by AT Jones that really makes this point is there is no experts in the Word of God the if you know if you learn anything about the Word of God the first thing you have to learn before you can learn anything about the Word of God is that the only way you will learn anything from the Word of God is if you approach the Word of God as a little child and as soon as you forget that rule then anything you know is worth nothing okay so to identify yourself as an expert on any book or passage in the Bible it seems a little bit precarious position to put yourself in but but here's my real problem in principle here's my real problem how I understand it and I think I can defend this from inspiration Daniel and Revelation are the same book if you're going to be the expert in Revelation you have to be the expert in Daniel and vice versa you can't just be the expert in one if you're going to be the expert in either one of them you have to be the expert in both so that division there that was a problem for me but the real problem is is John Pauline he's the one that they use for the point of reference to say that we no longer accept the pioneer position of the trumpets now brothers and sisters I want to run this by you again I've said it a couple times we read the quote it's in your notes sister sister white says William Miller was given great light on the book of Revelation and it wasn't chapters 2 & 3 wasn't the churches that was already established truth it wasn't Revelation 14 in the three angels messages don't tell me William Miller was given great light on the three angels message when we all know that he rejected the third angel all right it wasn't Revelation 13 he he didn't know who the beasts were and it wasn't Revelation 17 read what he said about Revelation 17 the great light that William Miller was given on the book of Revelation is the seals and the trumpets and it was given to him by no less than the angel Gabriel and Gabriel says of himself in Daniel chapter 10 that there's none that holdeth with me in prophecy except Michael your prince so William Miller was given an understanding of the trumpets that are represented on these charts that sister white says was directed by the hand of the Lord and that God was in the publishment of these charts and when speaking about both of them together she says these are the charts that were ordered by God Miller's understanding of the trumpets and therefore the seals are represented on these charts but the biblical research department throws that away and Gerard Vandal the expert on Daniel rejects the daily the pioneer position of the daily now brothers and sisters if you understand the history of the daily the primary argument in Adventism over the daily is this chart this chart here this chart was this chart was in obscurity no one no one understands this chart so it's hard to find except for people like us all right the arguments here because here under 508 this is taking away of the daily sacrifice Daniel 12 11 okay then sister White's comment in early writing page 74 they focus in that's what she's talking about is this chart they focus on another you know what did she really mean there and that's what a battle ensues you know what Wagner of Jones and Wagner says this is what sister White said in early writing 74 that proves she's a false prophet why he says because I know that the daily in Daniel is Christ's sanctuary ministry and it is clear that in early writing sister White is endorsing that the daily is paganism therefore she's a false prophet it's a lot of people say that she's not endorsing the daily is paganism there but Wagner had the correct view she's endorsing paganism but I went that's that's minor it's minor for me because there was a mistake that was to be corrected in this chart right and this is the corrected chart we have no evidence of a mistake in this chart and what does it say about 508 here on this chart pale pagan dominion or the daily taken away on this chart it says the daily is paganism period you black and white back and white we could do a little bit with Leroy Froome perhaps all right everyone know who Leroy Froome is okay the the the ministry in Adventism that has fought this message more than any other is Heartland Institute okay they will they would train youth Heartland Institute Colin Standish they would train used to to give sermons and then When they got invitations for him to go speak, they would tell him, go teach the brethren on that Sabbath day. Why? The glorious land is not the United States. Why? It's the Seventh-day Adventist Church. They've been opposed to this message for a long time. They handed off an employee there that believes that the daily is Christ's sanctuary ministry to another ministry, Hope International. His name is Heidi Hikes. Heidi Hikes is opposed to the pioneer position of the daily. She's written a few books. When he took over Hope International, he began a series of articles in their magazine, Firm Foundation, explaining why the daily is Christ's sanctuary ministry. Most people don't know. Most people don't know. If you run the circuit in Adventism and you deal with the daily, you'll find that there's maybe 10 or 15 arguments. No more. There's a certain amount. Those people that argue against the pioneer position of the daily, they'll only have two or three of those arguments. They won't know all 15 of them. They'll have, well, the Crozier article, that says it all. Anyway, we won't go into all the different. But when Heidi Hike hits the scene, launched by Heartland, then catapulted into Advent history here at the very time that the Lord is leading his people back to the foundations of Adventism, he produces an argument that has all the arguments, every one of them. So there's a person in this room that happens to know that way back when, a man named Leroy Froome wrote an unpublished document where he lists all the arguments against the pioneer position of the daily. Anyone you hear in Adventism today, Leroy Froome dealt with it in this article. 1930s. 1930s. Okay. So when this brother sees Heidi Hike's work, he gets on the phone to Heidi Hike and says, this isn't your work, all you're doing is restating Leroy Froome's work. Heidi says, yeah, that's right. But if you'd read his work, Heidi Hike's, he wasn't given any credit to Leroy Froome. Who knows why? I'm not saying that he was trying to lift himself up, perhaps he was. My thinking is that he knew that he was introducing this false view of the daily into Heartland and Hope International which are considered to be ministries that don't have any reverence for Leroy Froome whatsoever because they broadcast the role he played in bringing questions of doctrine into our church, which is they understand to be the books of the new order that mark the Omega apostasy. So that subculture in Adventism that would support Hope and Heartland, Heidi Hike, no, not Heidi Hike, Leroy Froome is not on the top of the list as a friendly person. If Heidi Hike was going to say, here's how I understand the daily and I got all this information from Leroy Froome, then the people that support Hope and Heartland, they're going to say, oh. So maybe, I don't know why he used Leroy Froome's information without giving him credit, but it could be just a wise thing to do. You don't want to associate with Leroy Froome, but he did. Brothers and sisters, those ministries are warring against returning to the old paths. Those people that are supporting those ministries or setting at the feet of their teachers, are receiving a message that is preparing them for the mark of the beast. Now, this chart here, this chart here, there's a sister in Northern California. She was doing research in the vault in Andrews University, and she sees something stuck behind a file cabinet. You can take stuff out of this vault in Andrews University and look it over and investigate it, but when you take it out, you have to sign it out. Each piece of history that's in that vault has its own little sheet that you have to sign, a record sheet. So, when she sees this thing stuck behind the file cabinet, and this is probably in the 70s or 80s, her curiosity got caught up. So, she wanted to check it out and see it. It was a chart, it was an old chart. So, she wanted to check it out and she takes it out of the vault. But she tells a story, man, this was hidden behind this file cabinet, all right? She takes it out, it's this chart. But when she takes it out, she has to sign it out. So she can look at it. The last person to handle that chart, the one that hid it behind the file cabinet, is a man called Leroy Froome, okay? And Leroy Froome, like we just noted, he doesn't want to acknowledge that this chart says pagan dominion or daily taken away. Nor do we want to acknowledge that Sister White says, God was in the publishment of this chart. And it's always been my contention for me personally, to reject these truths is to reject the spirit of prophecy. Simultaneously, she says too many things, locking her into an endorsement of these, that if you're going to reject them, you have to throw her out at the same time. All right? Yeah. Okay. Now, brothers and sisters, there's a lot of ways to be opposed in these foundational truths. Marvin Moore, editor of the Signs of the Times, takes these truths and places them at the end of the world, all right? Even if he didn't do that. I have a Signs of the Times magazine that was published by Marvin Moore many years ago, about 10 years ago. And on the front picture of the Signs of the Times, now brothers, if you don't know it, the Signs of the Times magazine is the outreach magazine for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. And on the front cover of that particular article, you had a nice picture of Pope John Paul II. And inside it, you had a very nice article praising Pope John Paul II. And after that came out, Marvin Moore was in Washington State in the, close to the ministry where I was working at that time, and he was talking. And the brethren from the ministry went to talk to him, and they said, why would you put an article in our outreach magazine that praised the Pope? And he says, well, that wasn't praising the Antichrist. He says, that was just breaking down walls so we can reach our Catholic friends. But it was praising the Pope. How could it be anything else but praising the Pope when it was written by Samuel Bakayoke? But I have the Signs of the Times magazine that came out two months later. And in that, in the letters to the editor, there's a letter from a Catholic lady that goes like this. I want to thank you for the wonderful article on the Holy Father. I'm a Catholic, and I like what you said. It was a very wonderful article. So that alone tells me that the wolf's guarding the chickens. But brothers and sisters, Marvin Moore, Fandel, John Pauline, Hartland, Hope, DiCarlo, Pruitt, they need to get back on the platform. If they're going to be true shepherds, if they're going to be true watchmen, they need to get back on the platform. They need to publicly repent for their positions and try to dispel the darkness that they've put into Adventism just before the close of probation. Now, I know that some of you have seen Mark Finley's presentation where he's, and I've only heard one person suggest that he wasn't making an attack on these charts. But brothers and sisters, when you're lifting up the need of winning a soul to Christ and at the same time denigrating the charts and these prophecies and these dates, you're fighting against the closed door message, and you need to awaken. You need to publicly repent and get back on the platform if you were ever honored at all. Amazing facts, Doug Batchelor, the daily to him, Christ Sanctuary ministry, amazing facts, needs to get back on the platform. This is the primary ministry in Adventism that's training evangelists and doing evangelistic work. Signs of the Times is the primary outreach magazine. The biblical research department is the authority on what we believe. Heartland and Hope profess to be those that are contributing to conservative development of the youth in Adventism. They're all off the platform. They're all off the platform, and God's people don't know. God's people, God's people, answer not a word. Did everyone receive William Miller's first dream? This is totally speculation. I know I've ran it by here once before, but in his dream, the most difficult part to understand is the dog. And the dog is representing the argument that was going on in the church in that time period over abolition, freeing the slaves. But it was a controversy that was going on in the culture at large, and it was impacting the church. It was in the building. Millerite history is going to be repeated to the very letter. There's a controversy that's in our culture at large that impacts Adventism. It's the dog. It's conspiracy theories. Brothers and sisters, you can't deny that conspiracy theories is impacting our culture. It was just a few weeks ago when they arrested a bunch of guys that were making a plan to murder a cop and then blow everyone up at his funeral in order to incite some kind of rebellion based upon all this conspiracy theory stuff. And we all know that the two ATF guys that died when they burnt David Koresh down happened to be body cards for Bill Clinton. And then when the Oklahoma building blew up, the seismograph registered two explosions, not one. We all know these conspiracy theories, right? Cross the board. It wasn't Islam that brought down the Twin Towers. It was George Bush and the Jesuits. It's out there in the culture, but it's impacting the church. In the pond that I'm allowed to swim in, in Adventism, there's a guy that, I mean, I'll tell you what, if I wanted to make some money, I've been given so many copies of his DVDs that are just sitting there. And I tell people, well, no, I never really have listened to him. Well, yeah, you've got to have the onslaught. And I say, no, no, no, that's all right. I probably have that at home. And before I get out of there, I have another copy of Walter White's material, all right? I don't listen to it for a number of reasons. Number one, what is the justification for a Seventh-day Adventist at the end of the world spending their time listening to someone that says he's evangelizing non-Adventists? Why do we have to listen to evangelism for non-Adventists? We're already Adventists. Don't we know that stuff? OK. And they listen to it. But they listen to the conspiracy theories. And brothers and sisters, Walter White has the wrong view on the trumpets. He's off the platform. Walter White needs to get back on the platform. So remember that when you're spending those hours in front of your computer or your TV, watching that little dog run around. Because brothers and sisters, those conspiracy theories have no power to sanctify you whatsoever. If you, you know, I'm going to tell you something serious. Well, everything I hope is serious. But this you might not understand. When I listen to this brother here, I think, man, I don't want to be involved with this work anymore. He's got a grasp of the Bible that I'll never have. I'm embarrassed to work with him. You know, it's, we're at the end of the world. We have to be coming to grips with this light that is unfolding from the Bible. So we have it similar to how he has it. If we're going to be sealed and be prepared to give a message, what accounting are we going to have to give to the Lord for all the time that we spent listening to Adventist evangelists do their evangelistic series coupled with a bunch of conspiracy theories? There'll be no justification. This is a big message. It requires putting your nose to the grindstone to understand it. You've got to study the Bible. Have to study it. You have to study it like your life depended on it, because it does. OK, enough of the names. Why did I do the names? I did the names for a couple of reasons. Those men that are off the platform, whether they understand they're off the platform or not, need to be confronted with where they're standing at this point in time. And I'm not going to go into the details of that. I'm going to go into the details of what need to be confronted with where they're standing at this point in Earth's history. They're standing. If they're wondering what's tickling their toes, it's the sand. They're standing on the sand. They're off the platform. And if they don't get on the platform, not only are they about to receive the mark of the beast, they're going to have the blood of all the people in Adventism that are willingly following their influence. And that is part of our DNA in Adventism. William Miller identifies it. It's the temptation for everyone in Adventism to trust. So these men that are off the platform and probably in some ways encouraging people to trust them, they not only have to get back on this foundational message in order to understand what the genuine third angel's message is for their own salvation, but they need to do so soon enough that they can publicly reprint and try to turn some of the misguided people that are following their conclusions, turn them around before it's too late. That has to be done. It can't be done without putting a name to it. The second reason I'm saying it is because I assume that there's probably going to be a response to some kind of public message like this, and I'd just as soon take the heat for it than the other messengers that are out there with this message. If you want to attack someone over an un-Christlike attitude for naming names, go ahead, let it be me. And after we get beyond the personalities, please explain to me why what we're saying about these charts and the foundational truths in Daniel 11, 40 to 45, and the latter reign is not valid. Because if it's valid, then you need to step beyond attacking any messengers and come to grips with the message for yourself and make it your own. If you come to grips with the message, you won't be so tempted to assign the motivation to someone that names names publicly to public figures that are publicly opposing this message as impure motives, because I would just as soon, every name I've named this weekend, would get on board with this message and come stand shoulder to shoulder and help finish this work. Shall we pray? Heavenly Father, it's high time that you awaken your people through the prophetic message and raise them up into a mighty army, but we understand from the prophetic word that when this is accomplished, it's accomplished during a shaking time and that the shaking only escalates as history moves forward. It seems that we're reaching a threshold now in earth's history and in the church where the shaking's going to become very serious. We need to be clear. We need to have a trumpet sound that is clear and concise that those that will be warned can be warned in time to prepare for this tremendous crisis that's about to hit. I ask forgiveness if I've crossed the line on naming these names, but the brothers and sisters in Adventism that are under these influences somehow someway need to be shaken to the understanding of what's going on. It's no time. This crisis, there is no justification for answering not a word. It's time that God's people stand in the ways and open their eyes and look around and see the ways and evaluate the ways because they're going to be held accountable for where they're standing, whether they do so or not. They need to be awakened and then there has to be a clear message, a clear trumpet that encourages them to return to the old path where they might find rest and refreshing water, and therefore be empowered to stand through the greatest time of trouble that's ever come upon planet Earth. Thank you for being with us throughout this weekend so far. We ask your continued blessing on the final presentation that's about to take place. In Jesus' name, amen.
