Habakkuk's Two Tables #82

CONCLUSION

Presented by Jeff Pippenger

Invocation by Brother Jeff Pippenger: Heavenly Father, we thank you for allowing us to awaken this morning and come together to consider your Word once again. We ask that you would allow us to understand the light that you have for us this morning that we can let it impact us in such a way that we would flee away from self-exaltation and spiritualism and not fall away from the truth, the precious truth that you have given us. We want to be among those that take the Little Book out of your hand and eat it, and we know that the eating of the Little Book represents the reception and the comprehension of the message that you have for us. And this morning, the message that you have for us is something that we ask that you would give us an extra measure of your Spirit so that we can comprehend it correctly. We receive it willingly, but we want to comprehend it in a way that will glorify you. We ask that you would hide me behind your cross, that you would overrule my human thinking process and let the words that I present this message be from your Throne Room, touched with a coal from off your altar. And, we would ask that you would prepare the hearts and minds of the brothers and sisters that consider these things that they might receive it as you see fit; and, we want you to continue to pour your Latter Rain out upon us as we study these things. So, we would ask that you would open our understanding at this time. We thank you for these things. In Jesus's name, amen.

The Daily (Continued)

BROTHER PIPPENGER: We have been in Daniel 8 for a while. The Lord willing, we will be in Daniel 8 for a little while longer.

And in Daniel 8 we have shown that Daniel 8 is an illustration of a counterfeit system of worship that exists from the rebellion in Heaven and then was brought down here to Earth by Satan and that it is manifested in the kingdoms of Bible prophecy as counterfeits to God's true worship. We understand that Daniel is identifying this for us by using sanctuary terms in Daniel 8 that are corrupted sanctuary terms—i.e., the ram offering has two horns that are not of the same size; the goat has a horn that is broken, with four horns that come up from the broken horn; the little horn that comes into play in Daniel 8, verse 9 and onward, is both a woman and a man, thus being an abomination before the Lord—therefore, they would not be allowed in the sanctuary service:

When it comes to our consideration of the Daily, we find that grammatically that the Daily is corrupted in the sense that the only place in the Bible where the Daily is employed as a noun is in the Book of Daniel. Every other place, it is a verb or an adverb.

And from this, we understand there is a counterfeit system that is being illustrated in Daniel, chapter 8.

And, when we get to verse 11 (we have spent time there), we have noticed that the little horn there is the masculine sense of the little horn. Verses 9 through 12, it changes from masculine, feminine, masculine, feminine. And the masculine manifestation of the little horn of Rome is Civil Rome. The feminine manifestation is Papal Rome. Verse 11 is speaking about Civil Rome, and it says that Civil Rome magnified himself to Christ; and, it did so at His birth and at His death when it tried to kill Him and did kill Him at the cross.

And from Pagan Rome, Paganism (the Daily) would be rum(ed). It would not be sur(ed); it would be lifted up and exalted.

And the place of Pagan Rome's sanctuary, which was the City of Rome, where the Pantheon Temple was, was cast down by Constantine in the Year 330. That is verse 11, going through it very simply.

But, in our last presentation we identified that there is also, though it is not spelled out right there on the surface, verse 11 is one of the most complex verses—let us say it this way: verse 11 is a very complex verse. I am not going to say it is the most complex in the Bible, because I do not know which is the most complex in the Bible. But, there are some deep thoughts in verse 11.

And, you can understand in verse 11 that there is a counterfeit offering taking place. It is saying that from Pagan Rome, the religion of Paganism is lifted up and exalted.

So, in this verse you have the temple of Paganism (the Pantheon Temple). You have the offering, which is Pagan Rome being offered; it is being taken away and it is being lifted up and exalted. So, though you do not see a priest there doing this offering service, you can see the components in here that allow you to recognize a counterfeit offering that is being set up here. And you can see this because the context of Daniel, chapter 8, is defining the kingdoms of Bible prophecy in their religious manifestation, and it is identifying this religious manifestation as gâdal. Each of the powers gâdal more than the previous power, and gâdal is self-exaltation. So, the root of their religion is this self-exaltation that Satan manifested in Heaven.

But, the symbol that represents this religion of self-exaltation is the Daily. In the Hebrew it is the continual, representing that this is the religion that began with the rebellion in Heaven and continues all the way through history. It is the continual religion of Satan.

But, here in verse 11, although it is not specifically identified, we see a priest sacrificing Pagan Rome, taking the religion of Pagan Rome (Paganism), and lifting it up and exalting it to the world. And in this verse we see Pagan Rome's temple. We want to look at Pagan Rome's temple now here briefly; because, one of the things that we are doing is identifying that the Daily is the symbol of the Omega Apostasy in Adventism at the end of the world.

The Pantheon Temple that we have already discussed; it was located in the City of Rome. We read a nice passage from J. N. Andrews last time where he dealt with this a little bit. But, Pantheon comes from two Greek words, PAN and THEOS, THEOS meaning god.

PAN, you see in your notes.

PAN: noun (Greek mythology) the Greek god of fields, woods, shepherds, and flocks; represented as a man with goat's legs, horns, and ears; identified with Roman Sylvanus or Faunus

Synonyms: goat god. Topic: Greek mythology. Type of Greek deity

It is a Greek god of fields, woods, shepherds, and flocks.

What kind of god do you think of when you think of the god of fields, woods, shepherds, and flocks? Perhaps, Pantheism: God is in everything.

Represented as a man with goat's legs, horns, and ears; identified with Roman Sylvanus or Faunus.

Synonyms: goat god. Topic: Greek mythology. Type of Greek deity.

It is interesting that it is a Greek deity, because it is from the Greek system of education that both the reform time of Christ was corrupted, and it is also from that system of education that Adventism stands in such a corrupted fashion here at the end of the world.

PANTHEON: 1. temple for all the gods 2. a temple built by Agrippa in Rome in 27, and rebuilt in the 2d century by Hadrian: used since 609 as a Christian Church

So, when we look at the word Pantheon, which is the name of the temple in Rome that represents Paganism, we see that it is made up of two words. Pantheon means a temple for all gods, and it was built by Agrippa in Rome in 27BC, and in AD609 became a Christian church. That is worth noting.

The Pantheon Temple is a temple of all gods. That is how the Romans used it; that is what the name means; and, it was a very simple thing in the 7th Century to change it from a Pagan temple to a Catholic temple, which they call "Christian," and you and I know that the Catholic Church is not Christian.

PANTHEISM: the belief that all the forces in the universe are God. (noun) An example of pantheism is rejecting the idea that God has an individual personality. YourDictionary definition and usage example. Copyright © 2012 by LoveToKnow Corp. See pantheism in Webster's New World College Dictionary (noun) the doctrine that God is not a personality, but that all laws, forces, manifestations, etc. of the universe are God; the belief that God and the universe are one and the same; the worship, or toleration of worship, of all gods of various cults—Synonyms for pantheism: heathenism, polytheism, animism; see paganism.

But, in our day and age—in Adventism, anyway, not in our day and age, in the history of the beginning of the 20th Century, Kellogg introduces Pantheism through his book, The Living Temple.

So, if you go and look up the definition of Pantheism, it is the belief that all the forces in the universe are God. An example of pantheism is rejecting the idea that God has an individual personality—that was one of Sister White's warnings—the doctrine that God is not a personality, but that all laws, forces, manifestations of the universe are God; the belief that God and the universe are one and the same; the worship—now, notice this!—Pantheism: the worship, or toleration of worship, of all gods of various cults. Pantheism is exactly what the Pantheon Temple represented.

So, when we are speaking about the Daily in Daniel 8, verse 11, being lifted up and exalted, and we are seeing in verse 11, prophetically represented, a priest taking the offering of the slain of Pagan Rome (he has been taken away in AD508), and then he lifts Paganism off the dead body of Pagan Rome; he lifts it up and he exalts it right there, and the background is his temple, the Pantheon Temple, you see the connection between the Daily, Pantheon, and Pantheism, if you are willing to see.

Okay. So, before we go further on through Daniel 8, which we have a long way to go through Daniel 8, I want to do some board work this morning. And I am not so sure that this cannot be illustrated a little bit better. This is the first time I have tried to illustrate this.

So, I am going to point out things that we have been discussing in Habakkuk's Two Tables. They are a matter of the record of this particular series, and some of them are pretty fresh in our mind that have been in worship this past couple of weeks.

HISTORY OF PERGAMOS and CIVIL ROME

Pergamos

330 538

Civil Rome 508

AD321 cast down SUR 533

Temple of God

RUM

Decree of

Justinian

Figure No 168A.

In AD321, we see Constantine introducing the first Sunday law, and I am marking that date there—you could probably technically put it even before then—but, I am marking that date as where the Paganism is being brought into Christianity. And from an earlier study in Habakkuk's Two Tables, that is a symbol of the Mystery of Iniquity; and, we are putting this study today in the context of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, where Paul talks about the Mystery of Iniquity already working back here in the 1st Century when Paul wrote it and predicting that there would be a falling away that preceded the Papacy being placed upon the throne in AD538.

So, the Mystery of Iniquity is the combination of truth and error; and, Paul says it is already back there working in his day and age, but I am marking AD321 just as a point of reference for our study here.

And then in AD330, I am saying Civil Rome is cast down. Okay? This is the year that Constantine moved the capitol to Constantinople.

And then when we get to 538, according to Daniel 11:31 and Daniel 12:11, the Daily (Paganism) was removed. It was taken away. In terms of our illustration of a counterfeit sanctuary service, I am going to say that Pagan Rome here is slain, although I know that Pagan Rome still existed; but, we are talking at the prophetic level.

But, right here in AD508 is also where Paganism begins to be lifted up and exalted, in agreement with Daniel 8:11. It is going to get lifted up and exalted, and it is going to reach the height of this exaltation when the Papacy, professing to be a Christian church, is placed upon the throne of the Earth and continues to practice Paganism.

So, according to Daniel 12:11, from 508 to 538, the Papacy is being set up; and, we have already compared this recently with the History of Christ:

• Christ was 30 years in preparation and then He was empowered. The Papacy was 30 years in preparation, and then it was empowered.

• Once Christ was empowered, He gave His testimony of life for 1260 days. Once the Papacy was empowered, it gave its testimony of death for 1260 years.

• Then Christ was crucified, and then the Papacy received the deadly wound.

So, based upon that—and we are leaving lots of components out of that, this period here [508 to 538] is setting up time, the preparation time for the Papacy, paralleling this 30 years of preparation for Christ. In this time period, it is being rum(ed). Paganism is being lifted up and exalted during the time of the falling away but in advance of the man of sin being revealed. We are putting this in the context of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2: ". . . for that day shall not come," by any means, "except there come a falling away first, . . . " (2 Thessalonians 2:3, KJV).

And this Mystery of Iniquity that begins back here in Paul's day and age, represented by bringing Paganism into the church, by the time you get to this history [AD533], the Christian church is so corrupted that it has fallen away. And when it falls away, then the man of sin is going to be revealed.

And where is the man of sin sitting? He is sitting in the Temple of God.

Is he? Is the Papacy in 538 sitting in the Temple of God?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: No.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: No!

That is how it is expressed in the Bible, but who is the Temple of God in this history? According to Revelation 12, who is the Temple of God? It is the woman.

And what does the woman do here in 538?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: She flees.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: She flees into the wilderness for 1260 years.

So, this is a counterfeit temple of god [wherein the man of sin sits].

So, what temple of god is this? It is the Pantheon Temple, all the way through; because, the Pantheon Temple is the temple that allows any kind of worship to be represented in it.

Right here he [the man of sin] is sitting in the temple of god.

So, the man of sin appears after there is a falling away. And I am marking 533 there because other than the removal of the third horn, this is where everything is in place for the Papacy. This is where it has received the civil authority from Justinian in 533, which is the Decree of Justinian. It is already sitting on the Seat of Rome, and now it has got the civil authority in his hands. What he has to do is just wait for the Goths to be driven out of the City of Rome, and it is in place.

And at the Third Synod of Orleans in May of 538, the Catholic Church passes a Sunday law. The Sunday law is here; the man of sin is revealed.

Does everyone follow me on this?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (Affirmations.)

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Okay. So, this is the story of the taking away of the Daily, both taken away here [at AD508] in the sense of Pagan Rome being removed; but, also in Daniel 8:11, this is where the lifting up and exalting the Papacy takes place.

So, the next history that I want to point us to is Sardis.

Now, in previous presentations we have demonstrated a principle that Stephen Haskell agrees with. Stephen Haskell teaches very clearly in The Story of the Seer of Patmos that all of the churches of Revelation repeat in the Church of Laodicea.

You guys are so busy writing this chart, which is okay, but you have got to follow, also. Okay?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (Laughter).

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Notice this next quote from Stephen N. Haskell from The Story of the Seer of Patmos, pages 75-76.

"He, who walked among His churches, and who sought diligently for signs of life, searching among the seven stars,-the leaders of the churches, found that, although Sardis claimed to have life, it was dead."—

Which church is Sardis? It is the one that follows Thyatira. Right?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (Affirmations.)

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Okay.

—"Strange condition! So quietly had this life been lost, that, looking back upon the activity of the past, and priding itself upon what great things had been done by Protestantism, this church had allowed the very principles of the papacy to twine about it until its life was choked."—

Okay. Now, this is Sardis.

I know some people, maybe most, place Sardis beginning in 1798. I disagree—all right?—and I respectfully disagree for a number of reasons, and we will not go into that now.

But, Sardis is when they are waking up from the Papal tyranny, and the waking up period actually ends before 1798. All right?

So, the next paragraph by Haskell says,

—"There was a time in the history of Pergamos,"—

That is here [referring to AD330 (see Figure No. 168A re the Church of Pergamos and Civil Rome)].

—"when Christianity thought Paganism was dead; but in reality, the religion which was apparently vanquished, had conquered. Paganism baptized, stepped into the church. In the days of Sardis this history was repeated."—

So, here in Sardis [Figure No. 168B], what I am saying here is this compromise that is represented by Pergamos up here [Figure No. 168A], it begins in the time period of Sardis, and it is going to reach a falling away here [between 3/22/1844 to 8/17/1844]. Sardis is where the Protestant Reformation takes place.

So, there is a compromise that comes in right at the beginning that ultimately is going to allow the Protestants to reject the message of William Miller. The falling away is going to be the response to that message.

So, here, is what I am saying, in 1798 we have a parallel history, only here in 1798 it is not Civil Rome that is cast down; it is Papal Rome that is cast down, receiving the deadly wound.

In fact in this sacrificial service that is portrayed in Daniel 8:11 [referencing Figure No. 168A], where you have the Pantheon Temple, and you have an offering that is slain and then lifted up and exalted, and by implication you have a priest, Pagan Rome in this history is the offering. Paganism is lifted up from that offering.

But in this history [of the Church of Sardis in Figure No. 164B.], who is the offering? In this history, who is the offering; who gets slain in this history? The Catholic Church is going to get slain; because, the religion from the Catholic Church is going to get lifted up and exalted by whom?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: The United States.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: The Protestants of the United States. Okay? It is a parallel history.

So, Stephen Haskell teaches us a truth that we are not taking time to really get it nailed down, but this history, this falling away that began in Pergamos began in Sardis. So, this line here represents the falling away that is going to impact this history down here [tracing the curved line from the time of Sardis to August 17, 1844], just like this falling away that impacted this history down here [tracing the curved line in Figure No. 168A from AD321 to 508], just like it impacted this history down here [in Figure No. 168B].

Are you with me?

So, I am marking 1840 here as the empowerment of the First Angel's Message; because, the falling away, it is going to be produced by a rejection of the message. There is going to be a testing message.

And even in here, if you go into The Great Controversy, pages 49 and 50, in this time period here [from 508 to 538 in Figure No. 168A], the true Christians were realizing that they could not stay in connection with the Church of Rome, if the Church of Rome was going to handle itself—this is where the separation is going on—and those that had their head on straight separated from the Church of Rome and they fled into the wilderness for 1260 years; but, the majority of the Christian church in this time period, they stayed with the Catholic Church.

But my point is, there was a testing message here, and what was the testing message? Sister White tells us what it was. It was 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2. They understood that there was going to be a falling away that preceded the man of sin.

And this is even more nice to recognize: Sister White tells us where this warning message of this history that is based on 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2—where did Paul get that warning message from, according to the Spirit of Prophecy? From the Book of Daniel.

So, the warning message here [the history portrayed in Figure No. 168A] is from the Book of Daniel.

The warning message here [the history portrayed in Figure No. 168B] is from the Book of Daniel.

The warning message here [referring to the board a timeline that will be introduced into this transcript as Figure No. 168D, the Alpha Apostasy] is from the Book of Daniel.

The warning message here [referring again to the board a timeline that will be introduced into this transcript as Figure No. 168E, the Omega Apostasy] is from the Book of Daniel.

Okay? And it is based upon the warning message that the falling away takes place.

—"Protestantism thought itself free from the principles of the Dark Ages; but the plant was sturdy and long lived, and although Protestantism reared itself aloft like a mighty oak, the rootlets of the papacy were planted with the oak, and soon the vine encircled the tree, and sapped its very life. Protestantism reared the structure, and the papacy is supported by it. 'Be watchful,' says the divine message to Sardis, 'and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.' There was, at the time this message came, some life still in the oak, but unless haste was made to 'strengthen the things which remain,' death would follow.

"'Remember, therefore, how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent.' The truths already received were indeed life; but a church, as well as an individual, must make constant progress, or they will suffer spiritual death." Stephen Haskell, The Story of the Seer of Patmos, 75–76.

[Skipping to] the next quote in your notes.

This is kind of heavy for early morning, right?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (Subdued laughter.)

BROTHER PIPPENGER: From Early Writings, page 238:

"As the churches refused to receive the first angel's message, they rejected the light from heaven and fell from the favor of God. They trusted to their own strength, and by opposing the first message placed themselves where they could not see the light of the second angel's message. But the beloved of God, who were oppressed, accepted the message, 'Babylon is fallen,' and left the churches." Early Writings, 238.

So, this falling away in here [the period of Fanaticism in Figure No. 168B], what is that based upon?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (Inaudible response.)

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Pardon me? What?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (Indiscernible response.)

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Yes, but it is based upon them rejecting the message.

And why did they reject the message?

This is worth noting; because, what we are doing is we are seeing that in these histories here, the subject is the Daily, all the way down to the Omega Apostasy.

How does she say it? "They trusted to their own strength, . . . "

What is that?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: Spiritualism.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: That is self-exaltation. You are trusting to your own strength.

It is right here [indicating the period of 1840 to 1844 in Figure No. 168B], this is gâdal.

And what is the symbol of gâdal? It is the Daily, in the Book of Daniel.

So, here they were holding onto the Daily. They were holding onto the Daily. They refused to have it taken away and, because of that, there came a falling away.

All right. The next quote, from The Great Controversy, page 398.

In this history, in this area here is where fanaticism is marked.

"It was not the proclamation of the second advent"—

What was the proclamation of the Second Advent? That is the First Angel's Message. She is saying,

—"It was not the proclamation of the second advent that created fanaticism and division. These appeared in the summer of 1844,"—

Here is where fanaticism and division appears, in the Summer of 1844.

—"when Adventists were in a state of doubt and perplexity concerning their real position."—

When did they get into a state of doubt and perplexity?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (Various responses.)

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Right here, the First Disappointment.

So, right in here there was no fanaticism in here [between 1840 and March 22, 1844], with the empowerment of the First Message. But, once 1843 passes, then there is doubt and perplexity and fanaticism begins to come in.

It says,

—"The preaching of the first angel's message and of the 'midnight cry'"—

Here is the Midnight Cry, down here [indicating between August 17, 1844, and the 1844 waymarks of Figure No. 168B], the preaching of the First Angel's Message and of the Midnight Cry. So, she has isolated this history now, from the First Disappointment [March 22, 1844], until the arrival of the Midnight Cry in August 12 – 17, 1844. In this history fanaticism arrives.

And what is fanaticism? It is the counterfeit Holy Spirit. It is taking a crazy idea and thinking it is of the Lord and pushing it to an extreme. Fanaticism.

—"The preaching of the first angel's message and of the 'midnight cry' tended directly to repress fanaticism and dissension. Those who participated in these solemn movements were in harmony; their hearts were filled with love for one another, and for Jesus, whom they expected soon to see. The one faith, the one blessed hope, lifted them above the control of any human influence, and proved a shield against the assaults of Satan." The Great Controversy, 398.

What I am wanting you to see here, right here [between March 22, 1844 and August 17, 1844], is fanaticism. And, right here is the falling away.

What goes on right here? What arrives in history right here? I do not have it marked, but you should know what it is. What arrives in the Summer of 1844?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: The Second Angel's Message.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: And what is the Second Angel's Message? Babylon is fallen, is fallen.

Right here is the falling away that is going to precede the revelation of the man of sin.

And we have dealt with this in our last presentation, that right here [the 1844 waymark in Figure No. 168B], the separation of these two classes takes place. And the class that has fallen away, they are directing their prayers to where?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: To the Holy Place.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: To the Holy Place, and Satan is answering their prayers.

Is this the true Holy Place?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: No.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: No. This is the Pantheon Temple. It will take any kind of worship and use it to counterfeit God's worship. This is the Pantheon Temple coming all the way down, and the man of sin has appeared. He is in there answering their prayers; because, Satan and the Pope are the man of sin.

Lesson 38

Ezekiel 8

The Image of Jealousy—Ezekiel 8:1, 3-4

You will notice in your notes—we are not going to go through this—but, you will notice in your notes that I have "Ezekiel 8," and right before it I have Lesson 38. We went through Ezekiel 8—this is Lesson No. 82, so something, whatever that would be—44 lessons ago. All right? So, if you are watching this on DVD and you want to refresh yourself on Ezekiel 8, you back up 44 presentations.

THE FOUR ABOMINATIONS (Ezekiel 8)

SUNDAY

WORSHIP

JEALOUSY • SPIRITUALISM • WEEPING for TAMMUZ

Figure No. 168C.

In Ezekiel 8 we noticed a progressive escalation of abominations that lead to the fourth abomination, which is the 25 leaders of Adventism bowing down to the sun. All right?

But, the first abomination that Ezekiel has shown is the image of jealousy.

And, what does the image of jealousy represent?

Where did it all begin? Where did it begin? In Heaven.

What was it? It was self-exaltation; because, Satan was jealous of Christ, was it not?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (Affirmations.)

BROTHER PIPPENGER: The first thing, self-exaltation: the image of jealousy is a symbol of self-exaltation. It is a symbol of the Daily.

And you will notice [referencing back to Figure No. 168B], in their self-exaltation in this history [in the time period of the 1843 Chart], they are rejecting the First Angel's Message, and then they go into fanaticism—okay?—a false outpouring of the Spirit.

And, here is the true outpouring of the Spirit, is it not? This is the Midnight Cry.

What did Sister White tell us about that outpouring of the Holy Spirit?

You could not know the answer I am wanting. She says the counterfeit always precedes the true. The Midnight Cry is the true outpouring; but, before the Midnight Cry arrives you have this history here where fanaticism develops.

In this history [Figure No. 168C], you have gâdal, self-exaltation (jealousy, the Daily, in Ezekiel 8), and then it is followed by Spiritualism.

You have it in your notes, from Pamphlets 150, page 21.

"Warnings have been given me that the publishing house upon the Pacific coast should not, in thought, word, or deed, depreciate the office at Battle Creek, neither should the publishing house at Battle Creek look with envy and jealousy upon the instrumentalities the Lord has established upon the Pacific Coast. Plans should be carefully considered in Battle Creek, that they may in no case militate against the work in Oakland. But the image of jealousy was long ago set up, and has provoked to jealousy, which has grieved the Spirit of God." Pamphlets 150, 21.

The Secret Chamber—Ezekiel 8:10-12

Ezekiel is taken into the secret chambers, in the second abomination in Ezekiel 8.

And commenting on what secret chambers means when Christ references them in Matthew 24, The Desire of Ages, page 631, it says,

"As one of the signs of Jerusalem's destruction, Christ had said, 'Many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.' False prophets did rise, deceiving the people, and leading great numbers into the desert. Magicians and sorcerers, claiming miraculous power, drew the people after them into the mountain solitudes. But this prophecy was spoken also for the last days. This sign is given as a sign of the Second Advent. Even now false christs and false prophets are showing signs and wonders to seduce His disciples. Do we not hear the cry, 'Behold, He is in the desert'? Have not thousands gone forth into the desert, hoping to find Christ? And from thousands of gatherings where men profess to hold communion with departed spirits is not the call now heard, 'Behold, He is in the secret chambers'? This is the very claim that spiritism puts forth. But what says Christ? 'Believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.'" The Desire of Ages, 631.

The second manifestation in Ezekiel 8 of the abomination is he is taken into the secret chambers, spiritualism. Spiritualism follows the Daily. It follows jealousy.

Here is self-exaltation in this history [see Figure 168B], followed by fanaticism (spiritualism).

Weeping for Tammuz—Ezekiel 8:14

And the third—and this is a nice one; it is not a nice one but it is a nice observation—the third abomination in Ezekiel 8 is that they are weeping for Tammuz.

What is that? From Myths of Babylonia and Assyria, Donald A. MacKenzie, [1915], page 83, at www.sacred-texts.com the weeping ceremony (because, that is what they were doing in Ezekiel 8):

"The weeping ceremony was connected with agricultural rites."—

Tammuz dies in the Winter—right?—but, he comes back to birth in the Spring. That is who this god is, and he is manifested in a lot of mythology. He is a god of resurrection, you know, bringing the plants back to life.

—"The weeping ceremony was connected with agricultural rites. Corn deities were weeping deities, they shed fertilizing tears; and the sowers simulated the sorrow of divine mourners when they cast seed in the soil 'to die', so that it might spring up as corn. This ancient custom, like many others, contributed to the poetic imagery of the Bible. 'They that sow in tears', David sang, 'shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.' In Egypt the priestesses who acted the parts of Isis and Nepthys, mourned for the slain corn god Osiris." Myths of Babylonia and Assyria, by Donald A. MacKenzie, [1915], page 83, at sacred-texts.com

What I am saying is, what is weeping for Tammuz? It is putting your tears in the ground, because Tammuz died in the Wintertime; but, he has got to come back to life in the Springtime. And what brings the plants back to life in the Springtime?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: The rain.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: This is the false Latter Rain.

Sunday Worship—Ezekiel 8:16

Self-Exaltation, Spiritualism, a False Latter Rain and Sunday Worship

1860

This is the manifestation here of spiritualism that leads into a counterfeit Latter Rain, that leads to the next abomination, which is Sunday worship; and, we know that Sunday worship the man of sin has revealed, whether you are marking the Pope or the men that receive the mark of the Pope. The man of sin in them is revealed.

We are just putting this in because we have studied it before. It is another line to show the sequences of gâdal (the Daily), followed by spiritualism, and fanaticism (a false revival) that leads to the man of sin being revealed.

We dealt with the bringing down of Jericho, and Brother Noel, who is not here, pointed something out the other day that adds to what we understood about 1860.

If you remember the story of Jericho, there was a prophecy by Joshua that the man that laid the foundation of Jericho would give his first-born son for doing so, and he would give his last-born son for raising the gates. And we went through and showed that the gates represent the church, and the foundations represent the foundations.

And then we went into the history of James White.

"Without church organization, without appointed responsible leaders, without a creed, the rather loose-knit church was growing more and more unwieldy. Ministers and laymen who had met in Battle Creek in late September, 1860, in response to an invitation signed by four leading brethren and couched in the form of an announcement, set about to form a legal organization to hold the assets and manage the affairs of the publishing work. Out of the meeting came plans for a publishing association—but it could not organize legally until the legislature of the State of Michigan had formulated laws under which they could incorporate. Organizing the publishing work called for the choice of the name Seventh-day Adventists. The action of choosing a name set the field buzzing with the cry that the church was going into Babylon." Arthur White, Ellen G. White Biography, volume 1, 445.

So, in Arthur White's Ellen G. White Biography, volume 1, page 445, something that I had not noticed until Noel shared it with me—and you have it right in here—is, as they were getting ready to organize the church in 1860, not only were they talking about organization but in order to get legal control over the publishing houses that they were developing, in 1860 is when they chose the name Seventh-day Adventists. So that, in 1860, the gates are being marked, and this is the year that James White's youngest son died.

"In 1860 death stepped over our threshold, and broke the youngest branch of our family tree. Little Herbert, born September 20, 1860, died December 14 of the same year." Testimonies, volume 1, 103.

1863

But, in 1863, when they organized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church legally, James White's oldest son died, and he died because he came home on a cool, windy day and took a nap on the materials that were being used to produce the 1863 Chart. And the cloths that were used as backing to produce those charts were damp, and from him taking a nap on the damp backing of the 1863 Chart, where the foundations were being set aside, he developed pneumonia and died in 1863.

"When on Friday, November 27, [1863] the parents reached Topsham, they found their three sons and Adelia waiting for them at the depot. They were all apparently in good health, except for Henry, who had a cold. But the next Tuesday, December 1, Henry was very ill with pneumonia. Years later Willie, his youngest brother, reconstructed the story:

"'During the absence of their parents, Henry and Edson, under the supervision of Brother Howland, were busily engaged in mounting the charts on cloth, ready for sale. They worked in a rented store building about a block from the Howland home. At length they had a respite for a few days while they were waiting for charts to be sent from Boston. . . . Returning from a long tramp by the river, he [Henry] thoughtlessly lay down and slept on a few damp cloths used in backing the paper charts. A chilly wind was blowing in from an open window. This indiscretion resulted in a severe cold.'" Arthur White, Ellen G. White, volume 2, 70.

The story of Jericho was the story of the Seventh Trumpet. They had marched around Jericho for seven days; therefore, they had marched around Jericho seven times in that sense. There is one seven times for you.

But, then on the seventh day they marched around Jericho seven times. So, there are two seven times in the story of Jericho.

Then they blew the trumpet. And if Jericho illustrates the end of the world, that is the Third Woe (the Seventh Trumpet).

Then they did a loud cry which brought the walls down.

And Jesus illustrates the end from the beginning; so, if the end of the world is illustrated by Jericho, then the beginning of Adventism would be illustrated by Jericho, because the beginning is going to illustrate the end of Adventism.

And at the beginning of Adventism, you have two 2520s, one that ends in 1798 and one that ends in 1844.

And right here in this history [see Figure No. 168B], you have the Midnight Cry which typifies the Loud Cry. And what empowers this history is the trumpet message that came to fulfillment in 1840.

So, what happens in this history, right in here in the Summer of 1844 is the Millerites come to understand—they had not planned this—that the organized churches were Babylon.

So, when you come to this history here [Figure No. 168D], and they are going to start organizing themselves into a church, then they are building here [in 1860] what they had torn down here [in 1844]. They are raising up Jericho right here [1860], and it cost the youngest son and the first-born of James White to make that work.

1 Samuel 8:6-8

And here in 1 Samuel 8:6-8—let us go there—we see a principle in God's Word, if you accept the principle that all the Bible is speaking about the end of the world, in connection with the emphasis that it is the story of Ancient Israel that illustrates modern Israel.

In 1 Samuel 8—and I know you all know this story, but I want to remind us of one thing—verse 6:

"⁶But the thing displeased Samuel,"—

What displeased Samuel? That the people wanted a king.

—"⁶But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord. ⁷And the Lord Lordsaid unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. ⁸According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee." 1 Samuel 8:6-8 (KJV).

In the story of Samuel, what were they rejecting? What were their basic rejection to lead them to want a king?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: Samuel's sons.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Samuel's sons were the premise that they used to get a king; but, what they had forgotten and lost sight of was the mighty deliverance out of Egypt. They lost sight of the Movement here [1840 to 1844], the foundational Movement. They forgot the signs and wonders that were done in the Lane of Zoan.

Now, notice from Patriarchs and Prophets, page 604, here is the one thought from Sister White that I want to add to this.

"The injustice of these judges caused much dissatisfaction, and a pretext was thus furnished for urging the change that had long been secretly desired."—

Okay. Samuel's sons is just a pretext to make this happen.

—"'All the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, and said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.' The cases of abuse among the people had not been referred to Samuel. Had the evil course of his sons been known to him, he would have removed them without delay; but this was not what the petitioners desired. Samuel saw that their real motive was discontent and pride, and that their demand was the result of a deliberate and determined purpose. No complaint had been made against Samuel. All acknowledged the integrity and wisdom of his administration; but the aged prophet looked upon the request as a censure upon himself, and a direct effort to set him aside. He did not,"—

Now, here is the part that I want you to see.

—"He did not, however, reveal his feelings; he uttered no reproach, but carried the matter to the Lord in prayer and sought counsel from Him alone." Patriarchs and Prophets, 604.

"Oh, Brother Jeff, I don't know that Sister White protested them starting a church in 1863. I thought she participated in it. I thought Samuel participated in anointing King Saul and King David."

He did, but the Lord told him, "They have not rejected you; they rejected me and you as well; but, we are going to go with this one, so you just keep your mouth shut." Okay?

So, we have every reason to understand that the prophetess knew what was going on.

So, what I am saying here is, I am saying this is a rejection of the Spirit of Prophecy, as much as anything else.

And, I am saying right here [1860], this is paralleling the Mystery of Iniquity in all these histories, right here it is starting; and, it is going to produce a falling away in this history. It is going to produce a falling away in this history here [Figure No. 168D]; because, this history here, 1888, this is where the Alpha Apostasy begins. I know if you have read books about the Alpha Apostasy, many authors are not going to say this; but, this is.

We know that in 1883 and 1884, first Uriah Smith started teaching at the Adventist College that Sister White's testimonies were not inspired; and, the next year it was followed by the General Conference President doing ten articles where he said there were portions of the Bible that are not inspired. So, in 1883 and 1884 the leadership of the Review and Herald, Uriah Smith, the publishing work—and James White is dead at this time—so, the leader of the publishing work and the leader of the educational work Uriah Smith, and the leader of the General Conference, George Ide Butler, have come out and rejected the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, which prepares the way for the Conference in 1888 where Sister White is clear that in 1888, in a convention that brings all the leaders together, that they together now reject the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy en masse.

So, here [1888], this begins the problem; because, the Bible is very simple on this one: you reap what you sow.

So, there is an abundant amount of things that you could put in this history to parallel all these.

But, before we get there, I need to back up. I forgot one thing.

When you are coming into this history [Figure No. 168B, the Millerite History], right here [at the 1844 waymark], the Protestants of the United States, they close their doors against the Millerite message. So, they go into darkness, right?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: (Affirmations.)

BROTHER PIPPENGER: So, it leaves only one Protestant group. Who is that?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: Adventists.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: The Millerite Adventists; they are the Protestant group. They are the Protestant Movement that is still on Planet Earth.

But, right here in 1863 [Figure No. 168D, Alpha Apostasy timeline], they do the very thing that they defined as Babylon. When they are defining what makes these fallen churches here in this time period [of the Millerite History in Figure No. 168B] part of Babylon, it says that they are organized legally and they have creeds.

So, right here [in 1863] the last Protestant entity, Millerite Adventism, it begins to cease to be Protestant. And here, Protestant USA is cast down.

Up here [Figure No. 168A] Civil Rome was cast down first, then Papal Rome [Figure No. 168B]. This is State Rome, and this is Church Rome.

But, here [Figure No. 168D], "Church United States" is going to be cast down; and, then in the Ronald Reagan years [Figure No. 168E (to be developed later in this transcript as the Omega Apostasy timeline)], "State United States" is going to be cast down.

And remember, Pagan Rome power placed the Papacy on the throne of the Earth and is typifying the United States, the power that places the Papacy on the throne of the Earth. So, there are two casting downs in both of these powers.

And the first one here [Protestant USA] gets cast down when they do the very definition, accomplishes the very definition that they used to identify what it meant to be part of Babylon.

Now, I am not saying that the Seventh-day Adventist Church is Babylon. We are letting prophecy illustrate what was going on, to lead to this history here; and, I am calling this history the Alpha Apostasy

1902

In this book here, this man here [holding up the book], Gilbert Valentine, if you have read his books and you understand the work of Jesuits, then you understand that he accomplishes the same work as Jesuits do. Jesuits work to go back into history and change it. So, when you are reading his books, you have to know—and George Knight, who is his mentor (he is a student of George Knight)—that they rewrite history to suit their own preconceived idea of what that history was. But, nevertheless, there is information in here that helps put this story together.

And in this history here, he thinks that W. W. Prescott was a positive influence on Adventism; and, he thinks wrongly.

The title is, W. W. Prescott, Forgotten Giant of Adventism's Second Generation; and, I agree. Adventism's second generation ends in 1919 when they published Prescott's book, The Doctrine of Christ. And The Doctrine of Christ was to take the Advent message and eliminate all the prophecy out of it and just leave a presentation of Christ.

So, Valentine documents in his book that in this history here [Figure No. 168D]—and I have 1901, because this is when Louis Conradi introduces the old Protestant view of the Daily. The Pioneer view of the Daily, right here, is being taken away, sur; and it is going to be followed by Pantheism of John Harvey Kellogg. And I have got 1902 for the burning down of the publishing house and the sanitarium to mark that history. But, Pantheism you can take back farther. The Daily you can take back, even back to here in 1845 with Crossier. So, I am placing them not where you can really mark their beginnings. I am placing them when a testing message arrives, because it is a testing message that is going to produce a falling away.

Publishing Ministry, pages 170 – 171:

"Three nights before the Review office burned, I was in an agony that words cannot describe. I could not sleep. I walked the room, praying to God to have mercy upon His people. Then I seemed to be in the Review office with the men who have the management of the institution. I was trying to speak to them and thus to help them. One of authority arose and said, 'You say, The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are we; therefore, we have authority to do this thing and that thing and the other thing. But the word of God forbids many of the things that you propose to do.' At His first advent, Christ cleansed the Temple. Prior to His second advent He will again cleanse the temple. He was there cleansing the temple. Why? Because commercial work had been brought in, and God had been forgotten. With hurry here and hurry there and hurry somewhere else, there was no time to think of heaven. The principles of God's law were presented, and I heard the question asked, 'How much of the law have you obeyed?' Then the word was spoken, 'God will cleanse and purify His temple in His displeasure.'

"In the visions of the night I saw a sword of fire hung out over Battle Creek.

"Brethren, God is in earnest with us. I want to tell you that if after the warnings given in these burnings the leaders of our people go right on, just as they have done in the past, exalting themselves, God will take the bodies next. Just as surely as He lives, He will speak to them in language that they cannot fail to understand.

"God is watching us to see if we will humble ourselves before Him as little children. I speak these words now that we may come to Him in humility and contrition and find out what He requires of us.' Publishing Ministry, 170–171.

So, in this history, one of the things that should be put in here—and, this, Valentine upholds—is that W. W. Prescott, his whole purpose was to remove the Pioneer position of the Daily,

And, Prescott produced The Protestant Magazine, and if you go to The Protestant Magazine, Valentine will tell in here [his biography of W. W. Prescott] that Prescott never says that the Daily is Christ's sanctuary ministry in that magazine. But, every article is attempting to let you come to that very conclusion, that the Daily is Christ's sanctuary ministry. That is the whole purpose of The Protestant Magazine, even though he never says it once.

So, what is he doing? Prescott is trying to take away the Pioneer position of the Daily; but, in doing so he is bringing to an end genuine Protestantism—(laughter)—and he does it with a tool called The Protestant Magazine!

So, in this history, when you get to 1888, once again do you have a testing message? Yes, they are being tested. The Daily arrives to shake them all the way through this history.

And Pantheism, what is Pantheism? Spiritualism.

The Daily: Jealousy, gâdal.

Pantheism (Spiritualism) is the same sequence of events.

And then there is going to be a falling away.

And why do I have 1915 as the falling away?

We will get to that.

The Living Temple

Let us deal with Pantheism a little bit.

Review and Herald, October 22, 1903:

"In regard to the faith to be cherished and preserved in these last days, very little light is given in The Living Temple, and this light is so uncertain that it would not help God's people at this stage of their work."—

Now, when I mentioned here just a minute ago—and I did not put an emphasis on it—about Prescott, when he comes out with his book, The Doctrine of Christ, here [in 1919], I am not being just vague. He purposely created an advent message that no longer has the prophetic message in it. He takes it out! He removes it!

So, notice what Sister White says about The Living Temple, because these are a one-two-punch.

Second paragraph,

—"In the visions of the night this matter was clearly presented to me, before a large number. One of authority was speaking, and he said, 'If the suppositions and statements found in this book were essential, if these statements were pure provender, thoroughly winnowed from the chaff, there would be some decided mention of them in the revelation given by Christ to John to give to the churches. To John the Lord Jesus opened the subjects that he saw would be needed by his people in the last days. The instruction that he gave is found in the book of Revelation. Those who would be co-workers with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will show a deep interest in the truths found in the book of Revelation. With pen and voice they will strive to make plain the wonderful things that Christ came from heaven to reveal.'

"The first chapter of the book of Revelation was then read, with great solemnity."—

Who was reading it? One with great authority is reading it to Ellen White.

—"'The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.'

"Our Instructor presented the solemn messages that have been given in their order in Revelation, and that are to occupy the first place in the minds of God's people.

"All through the book, The Living Temple, passages of Scripture are used, but in many instances these passages are used in such a way that the right interpretation is not given to them. The message for this time is not, 'The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are we.'"—

So, what is the message of The Living Temple book? "The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are we."

—"Whom does the Lord receive as vessels unto honor?—Those who co-operate with Christ; those who believe the truth, who live the truth, who proclaim the truth in all its bearings." Review and Herald, October 22, 1903.

Brothers and Sisters, in this history [of Civil Rome, Figure No. 168A], Pagan Rome is being sacrificed and Paganism is being lifted up and exalted through the Papacy, a Pagan religion that professes to be Christian.

In this history [of the Church of Sardis and of the Millerites, Figure No. 168B], the Papacy is sacrificed, but the same religion, Paganism, is going to be lifted up and exalted by people professing to be Protestants.

In this history [of the Alpha Apostasy, Figure No. 168D], there is something being sacrificed here that is not Pagan Rome or Papal Rome. It is Protestantism.

And the temple here [in Figure No. 168A] is the Temple of God; and, here [in Figure No. 168B], it is the Holy Place; but, here [in Figure No. 168D], it is the Living Temple, which they think is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, are we.

Notice the next quote from Manuscript Releases, volume 13, page 222.

"These are not the words of Sister White, but the words of the Lord, and His messenger has given them to me to give to you. God calls upon you to no longer work at cross purposes with Him. Much instruction was given in regard to men claiming to be Christian when they are revealing the attributes of Satan, counteracting in spirit, word, and action the advancement of truth, and are surely following the path where Satan is leading them. In their hardness of heart they have grasped authority which in no way belongs to them, and which they should not exercise. Saith the great Teacher, 'I will overturn, overturn, overturn.' Men say in Battle Creek, 'The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are we' but they are using common fire. Their hearts are not softened and subdued by the grace of God." Manuscript Releases, volume 13, 222.

So, these people that are being brought into this delusion here, Spiritualism, The Living Temple time period, they rejected the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy in 1888. They are going into the Alpha Apostasy. Now, they are lifting themselves up, and they are saying what Sister White said in Early Writings, page 74, that this [1843] Chart was directed by the hand of the Lord and should not be altered; and, "I saw that those that gave the judgment hour cry had the correct view of the Daily." And that was the argument of that history, that very quote. These men who are rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy concerning the Daily here are going into a spiritualistic experience, because Spiritualism is when you put God's Word below man's word. They are taking man's word, and they are going into Spiritualism; and, at the same time they are saying, "We have the authority. We are the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord." And, the symbol of the temple of the Lord that they are erecting here is the living temple, which is just another manifestation of the Pantheon Temple that comes all the way down through these histories.

So, Protestantism is the sacrifice here; because, in The Protestant Magazine, the prophetic message—and in the book that is published in 1919 [The Doctrine of Christ]—the prophetic message which is supposed to consume, be first place in our minds, consume our attention, it is removed. It is removed!

Okay. 1915: Testimonies, volume 5, page 77:

"The patience of God has an object, but you are defeating it. He is allowing a state of things to come that you would fain see counteracted by and by, but it will be too late. God commanded Elijah to anoint the cruel and deceitful Hazael king over Syria, that he might be a scourge to idolatrous Israel."—

How many people did Elijah anoint?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: Three.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Three.

Who were they?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: Jehu.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Jehu. And if you typed Jehu into the CD-ROM, over and over again who does Jehu symbolize? The Pharisees. He is the zealous defender of God's truth; but, his heart is not right with him. He is much too zealous.

Who else did Elijah anoint?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: Elisha.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: Elisha. He anointed the prophet.

But who is Hazael? She is going to tell you right here. Sister White speaks of Hazael probably about 10 to 15 times; but, here is the definition of who Hazael is.

Why do we need to know that?

Are we to believe that the history of Elijah is actually going to be repeated here at the end of the world? If there is one passage that Sister White repeatedly compares to the end of the world is the story of Elijah. Okay?

So, there are three anointings, and Jehu, that is the Pharisees in Adventism that think they are going to be defending the foundational truths, but they are going to be fighting against the foundational truths. They are "the defenders of the Law"!

Elisha is the prophetic message, but who is Hazael?

—"God commanded Elijah to anoint the cruel and deceitful Hazael king over Syria, that he might be a scourge to idolatrous Israel. Who knows whether God will not give you up to the deceptions you love?"—

What does that remind you of, those that have been studying here for the past couple of weeks? Isaiah 66:4-5. The Lord is going to choose their delusions, and Sister White compares that passage with 2 Thessalonians. He is going to give you up to the deceptions that you love. He is going to give you up to the strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians.

And, why does the strong delusion come? "Because they would not receive the love of the truth."

And what is the truth being discussed in 2 Thessalonians? It is the relationship of the Daily and the abomination that maketh desolate that brings the strong delusion.

—"Who knows whether God will not give you up to the deceptions you love? Who knows but that the preachers who are faithful, firm, and true may be the last who shall offer the gospel of peace to our unthankful churches? It may be that the destroyers are already training under the hand of Satan"—

What destroyers? The destroyers that are represented by Hazael that are going to be a scourge to idolatrous Israel.

—"It may be that the destroyers are already training under the hand of Satan and only wait the departure of a few more standard-bearers to take their places, and with the voice of the [dragon] cry,"—

FROM THE AUDIENCE: The voice of the False Prophet.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: What?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: The voice of the False Prophet.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: They are going to speak like the False Prophet?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: Yes.

BROTHER PIPPENGER: The Hazaels are going to speak like the False Prophet?

Who is the False Prophet?

FROM THE AUDIENCE: The United States?

BROTHER PIPPENGER: That is apostate Protestantism.

What is going to be a scourge to Adventism are the pastors that are going to carry the message of apostate Protestantism. That is Hazael, and that is W. W. Prescott. That is this book here that removes this message [referring to the 1843 and 1850 Charts] out of the Advent Message and leaves you the peace and safety message of the false prophet of apostate Protestantism.

And when does this come in? When should we expect Hazael to come into history? When those few faithful pastors who were standing in this time period fighting for the faith once delivered to the saints get laid to rest, you can rest assured from here on [1919 on] that the voice of the False Prophet is going to exist in Adventism. And it does! It does.

—"and only wait the departure of a few more standard-bearers to take their places, and with the voice of the false prophet cry, 'Peace, peace,' when the Lord hath not spoken peace. I seldom weep, but now I find my eyes blinded with tears; they are falling upon my paper as I write."—

Notice the next sentence.

—"It may be that erelong all prophesyings among us will be at an end, and the voice which has stirred the people"—

Right there [1915, the year of Ellen White's death]. This [1860 to 1915] is the falling away; it comes right there.

—"and the voice which has stirred the people may no longer disturb their carnal slumbers.

"When God shall work His strange work on the earth, when holy hands bear the ark no longer, woe will be upon the people."—

And, of course, that is something that you need to bring down to this history [Figure No. 168E].

Figure No. 168E.

When holy hands no longer bear the ark, He is going to do His strange work, and His strange work is not simply punishing the wicked and the Seven Last Plagues. It is a punishment that comes upon those that are supposed to be carrying the ark of God, but they are no longer carrying it with holy hands.

And when is that period of time? When the Woe is upon the people [indicating 9/11 in Figure No. 168E].

But, here is the falling away. The voice of reproof is silent. The silent ministers are being set aside.

And in 1919 we are going to have a book by Prescott called The Doctrine of Christ [Figure No. 168D]..

I worked with people from Columbia and Venezuela, and they did not mind working with me because they realized that when you give the prophetic message, God's people come under conviction. And they liked to see the people come under conviction, because then they could give them The Doctrine of Christ.

But, when the message got too pointed, they decided that they did not want to carry on with this. They wanted to carry on with W. W. Prescott's message, which is The Doctrine of Christ that has removed the prophetic message out of it. They did not even care what prophetic message that they had. Anyone could come and preach prophecy because they knew it stimulated their audience, and they wanted to deal with their audience in an emotional state so they could give them Prescott's message of The Doctrine of Christ.

But, The Doctrine of Christ, without the message of Daniel and Revelation is what? What is it? It is a false Christ. Right here, [Prescott's book, The Doctrine of Christ] is a false Christ. It is a false Christ!

—"When God shall work His strange work on the earth, when holy hands bear the ark no longer, woe will be upon the people. Oh, that thou hadst known, even thou, in this thy day, the things that belong unto thy peace! Oh, that our people may, as did Nineveh, repent with all their might and believe with all their heart, that God may turn away His fierce anger from them." Testimonies, volume 5, 77.

Notice the next quote, Review and Herald, December 16, 1890.

"Men in the highest positions need to realize that they are as dependent upon God as are the humblest of their brethren. The greater their light and the clearer their knowledge of the truth, the greater is their responsibility. If they are clothed with the righteousness of Christ, they will have a humble estimation of themselves. In the worship of God, and in confession of sin, they will be as the lowliest of his creatures, while at the same time they will take the lead and set the example in everything that is pure and noble. They will be despised by many for their piety, humility, and conscientiousness. They will be a by-word and a hissing to those who, while they profess godliness, are not connected with God. But they will be honored by heaven, and by men whose hearts have not been hardened by rejection of light.

"Brethren, I see your peril, and again I ask, Do you who err make any effort to correct the wrong? Souls may be stumbling along, walking in darkness, because you have not made straight paths for your feet."—

Now, if you notice, if you go back up a couple of passages, in this history she says, "following the path where Satan is leading them." So, this is about this path in this history that I am trying to mark out for us.

—"because you have not made straight paths for your feet."—

What are the straight paths? The Old Paths [the 1843 and 1850 Charts], if you have rejected these.

—"If you are in positions of trust, I appeal the more earnestly to you, for your own souls' sake and for the sake of those who look to you as guides, repent before God for every mistake made, and confess your error.

"If you indulge stubbornness of heart,"—

What is stubbornness of heart? Gâdal; there is the Daily.

—"and through pride and self-righteousness do not confess your faults, you will be left subject to Satan's temptations."—

That is what went on in here. They would be left to Satan's temptations.

—"If when the Lord reveals your errors you do not repent or make confession, his providence will bring you over the ground again and again. You will be left to make mistakes of a similar character, you will continue to lack wisdom, and will call sin righteousness, and righteousness sin. The multitude of deceptions"—there is Isaiah 66 again—"The multitude of deceptions that will prevail in these last days will encircle you, and"—what?—"you will change leaders, and not know that you have done so." Review and Herald, December 16, 1890.

They changed leaders right here in 1919, and did not know they had done so. They accepted a false Christ.

And, that is what happens here. There is a falling away first, and then what happens? The man of sin is revealed, only now it is talking about the leadership of Adventism that has determined that the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, are we.

And what is this temple of the Lord symbolically represented by the book The Living Temple? It is the Pantheon Temple, all the way through.

What was sacrificed here? Protestantism; Protestantism, as represented in The Protestant Magazine that takes the symbol of Rome out of the prophetic message.

And remember Daniel 11:14 says what? Rome establishes the vision. Take Rome out of the vision, and you have no vision; and when you have no vision, the people perish.

Now, in study 23—for those of you who are watching on DVD, we would have to go back farther—we did a study on Judas.

This will not be long; this will not be long. We are going to add one more line right down here.

But, what I am saying—I skipped this line. I do not know why I did that; because, I am looking at the clock, I suppose—in the 1930s Hermes arrived, hermeneutics. There is a lot of information on that out there now. This is where we [the Seventh-day Adventist Church] accept apostate Protestantism's approach to Biblical interpretation: Hermeneutics, from the name HERMES.

I will not go there.

It begins with the Mystery of Iniquity that is going to impact us here [Figure No. 168E, at the falling away].

This [referring to the arched line in each of the timelines of Figure Nos. 168A, B, C, D, E, and F leading to the time periods of the falling away, at AD533; to fanaticism between March 22, 1844 and August 17, 1844; to the Weeping for Tammuz; to 1915 (the Alpha Apostasy); to the time of strong delusion before The Sunday Law of the Omega Apostasy; and, to the time period before the cross of Christ's crucifixion] is always the Mystery of Iniquity; and the Mystery of Iniquity always causes a falling away first before the man of sin is revealed.

Are you following the parallel lines here, or is this just too much information?

I think it might be too much information for me.

In the 1930s we have a Mystery of Iniquity that is introduced in response to this history [Figure No. 168D], when they changed leaders and do not even know it.

And this starts going through history, and it is in this history [Figure No. 168E] in 1989 when Reagan forms an alliance with the Pope. And now not Protestant USA but Civil USA is being cast down. Okay? This is another line, another thought, but it brings us to 9/11/2001, which parallels 1888 and 1840, and I suggest 508, when there is going to be a testing message once again.

And based upon this history [Figure No. 168A], when there is a testing message about whether you as a Christian is going to stay connected with the Church of Rome that is based upon 2 Thessalonians, according to Sister White, this testing message is causing a separation in this history. And the testing message is 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, the place where William Miller discovers what the true meaning of the Daily is. So, we see the Daily here a part of this testing message.

And then in 1840, what begins to close the doors is this 1843 Chart, and right under the cross on this Chart is the Daily: right here, gâdal.

Then in Ezekiel 8 [Figure No. 168C] we see the first manifestation of the first abomination, which is the Daily, gâdal (jealousy, self-exaltation).

Then in here [Figure No. 168D] we see the Daily (Louis Conradi introducing the false view of the Daily), once again causing this testing process.

So, when we get down here to 9/11 [Figure No. 168E] and these people do not want to hear that the Daily is testing truth, and that the Daily (self-exaltation) is a symbol of the Omega Apostasy, I am sorry, there are too many lines that say otherwise.

These here [referencing the 1843 and 1850 Charts], these are the Old Paths that we are being tested upon; and, in order to step on [walk in] those Old Paths you have to humble yourself and say, "I'm going to do what the Lord instructs me to do, not what men instruct me to do." And that is [in direct opposition to] the very essence of gâdal and self-exaltation.

That is going on right here [indicating the Charts represented on the timeline]. And those people that reject the call to return to the Old Paths and hearken to the sound of the trumpet in Jeremiah 66:16 and 17, they are destined to receive strong delusion just before The Sunday Law, a false revival just before The Sunday Law, that has been prefigured by the celebration that took place at Ellen White's death by those people who had wanted her gone, and they wanted her gone bad enough after 1888 that they exiled her to Australia. And it is documented that after she died, they put her son Willie in exile in the sense that they just left him alone. They did not want to hear no more about it. They were happy about it: strong delusion [Figure No. 168E], strong delusion [1915, Figure No. 168D].

Weeping for Tammuz: strong delusion, a false revival [Figure No. 168C], a false Latter Rain.

Fanaticism right here in the Millerite History comes in right here [Figure No. 168B]; and, of course, the empowerment of the Papacy here [AD533, the Decree of Justinian, in Figure No. 168A].

And this strong delusion [in Figure No. 168E] leads to The Sunday Law; but, the falling away first, that is the falling away of the foolish virgins of Adventism that the man of sin might be revealed.

And according to the prophecies about the Omega Apostasy, in here [between 9/11 and The Sunday Law], the foolish virgins are going to have a Movement that nothing is allowed to stand in the way of; but, storm and tempest will sweep their structure away, and they think their structure is "the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord." But this structure is the parallel to The Living Temple, that is a parallel to the Holy Place, that is a parallel to the false Temple of God. It is the Pantheon Temple; because, the Pantheon Temple will receive any god because it is Satan's temple that he uses to deceive those people that fail the tests right in here [referencing on the board all the periods of falling away in Figure Nos. 168A, B, C, D, E and F].

Do you follow me?

Turning Points

So, along with this we will add one more line, and it is the story of Judas.

Bible Echo, August, 1895:

"There are lessons to be learned from the history of the past; and attention is called to these, that all may understand that God works on the same lines now that He ever has done."—

He works on the same lines now that He has ever done; the same lines.

—His hand is seen in His work and among the nations now, just the same as it has been ever since the gospel was first proclaimed to Adam in Eden.

"There are periods which are turning points in the history of nations and of the church."—

September 11, 2001, was a turning point in the history of the world, in the history of the United States. And September 11, 2001, is when the Seventh-day Adventist Church decided that if you were going to be an ordained pastor in Adventism that you have to take a course in the spiritual teachings of the Jesuits, which was Spiritualism. That was a turning point for Adventism. You have now turned your ministry over to the Jesuit Order.

But, there was a turning point in the life of Judas as well.

I should finish the quote.

—"There are periods which are turning points in the history of nations and of the church. In the providence of God, when these different crises arrive, the light for that time is given."—

This is when the light of Revelation 18 is given [September 11, 2001, Figure No. 168E].

—"If it is received, there is spiritual progress; if it is rejected, spiritual declension and shipwreck follow. The Lord in His word has opened up the aggressive work of the gospel as it has been carried on in the past, and will be in the future, even to the closing conflict, when Satanic agencies will make their last wonderful movement." Bible Echo, August 26, 1895.

Lesson 23

Judas

Turning Point Barabbas

3 JUDAS

1 2 Falling Away

Gâdal

Figure No. 168F.

But, in [the story of] Judas, from The Desire of Ages, page 719, it says,

"Christ's discourse in the synagogue concerning the bread of life was the turning point in the history of Judas."—

What is the sermon that was the turning point in the history of Judas? It was the sermon about the Bread of Heaven: "You need to eat my flesh and drink my blood." This was the turning point.

And when this Angel comes down on 9/11, the Angel of Revelation 18, He is paralleling when the Angel came down on August 11, 1840. And when the Angel came down on August 11, 1840, He had the Little Book of Daniel open in His hand, and He told John (representing the Millerites and us) to go and take the Little Book and eat it.

So, right here on 9/11, we are to eat the Little Book.

And, right here on 9/11, Judas had the same turning point; and, he refused to eat. The Biblical record shows us then that he went through three tests.

What were the three tests [for Judas]? Three times he covenanted to sell Christ; three times.

And here he fell away [at the cross].

— He heard the words, 'Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.' John 6:53. He saw that Christ was offering spiritual rather than worldly good. He regarded himself as farsighted, and thought he could see that Jesus would have no honor, and that He could bestow no high position upon His followers. He determined not to unite himself so closely to Christ but that he could draw away. He would watch. And he did watch.

"From that time he expressed doubts that confused the disciples. He introduced controversies and misleading sentiments, repeating the arguments urged by the scribes and Pharisees against the claims of Christ. All the little and large troubles and crosses, the difficulties and the apparent hindrances to the advancement of the gospel, Judas interpreted as evidences against its truthfulness. He would introduce texts of Scripture that had no connection with the truths Christ was presenting. These texts, separated from their connection, perplexed the disciples, and increased the discouragement that was constantly pressing upon them. Yet all this was done by Judas in such a way as to make it appear that he was conscientious. And while the disciples were searching for evidence to confirm the words of the Great Teacher, Judas would lead them almost imperceptibly on another track. Thus in a very religious, and apparently wise, way he was presenting matters in a different light from that in which Jesus had given them, and attaching to His words a meaning that He had not conveyed. His suggestions were constantly exciting an ambitious desire for temporal preferment, and thus turning the disciples from the important things they should have considered. The dissension as to which of them should be greatest was generally excited by Judas." The Desire of Ages, 719.

First Test Rejected

His rebellion, his gâdal begins here [at Test 1] at the foot washing of Mary. At the foot washing of Mary, his gâdal was lifted up, and he goes out and he starts this covenant process. He is going to barter three times with the Jews to sell out His Lord.

But notice when Jesus rebukes him. I am going to cut in the middle of that paragraph. It says,

Youth Instructor, July 12, 1900:

"The look that Jesus cast upon the selfish Judas convinced him that the Master had penetrated his hypocrisy, and read his base, contemptible character. This was a more direct reproof than Judas had before received. He was provoked by it, and thus a door was opened through which Satan entered to control his thoughts. Instead of repenting, he planned revenge. Stung by the knowledge of his sin, and provoked to madness because his guilt was known,"—

About Mary anointing the feet of Jesus.

—"he rose from the table, and went to the palace of the high priest, where he found the council assembled."—

Right there [at the first test], that is gâdal. That is the Daily.

And this was the first time that he met with the Sanhedrin; and, when he did it, what did he do? He rose from the table; he left the Tables [referencing the 1843 and 1850 Charts]. Okay? He rose from the table.

—"He was imbued with the spirit of Satan, and acted like one bereft of reason. The reward promised for the betrayal of his Master was thirty pieces of silver; and for a far less sum than the box of ointment cost he sold the Savior."—

And then in the second paragraph, it says,

"In spirit and practice many resemble Judas."—

Now, this is Adventism, is it not? It is Judas.

—"As long as there is silence in regard to the plague-spot in their character, no open enmity is seen; but when they are reproved, bitterness fills their hearts." Youth Instructor, July 12, 1900.

Self-Exaltation

His rebellion, the gâdal begins—and you have it in your notes—at the foot washing of Mary.

The Desire of Ages, page 559:

"Judas had a high opinion of his own executive ability. As a financier he thought himself greatly superior to his fellow disciples, and he had led them to regard him in the same light. He had gained their confidence, and had a strong influence over them. His professed sympathy for the poor deceived them, and his artful insinuation caused them to look distrustfully upon Mary's devotion. The murmur passed round the table, 'To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.'" The Desire of Ages, 559.

The Second Test

Notice the second test. It says, from The Desire of Ages, page 645,

"Before the Passover Judas had met a second time"—

He has already covenanted a second time to sell our Christ.

—"with the priests and scribes, and had closed the contract to deliver Jesus into their hands. . . ."—

And at the bottom,

—"Judas was now offended at Christ's act in washing the feet of His disciples. If Jesus could so humble Himself, he thought, He could not be Israel's king. All hope of worldly honor in a temporal kingdom was destroyed. Judas was satisfied that there was nothing to be gained by following Christ. After seeing Him degrade Himself, as he thought, he was confirmed in his purpose to disown Him, and confess himself deceived. He was possessed by a demon, and he resolved to complete the work he had agreed to do in betraying his Lord." The Desire of Ages, 645.

He was possessed by a demon. So, in here, what was happening to him if he is possessed by a demon? Spiritualism—right?—if you are possessed by a demon, you are into Spiritualism.

First, it is gâdal, when he lifts himself up: "You know, I could take that perfume and make a lot more money for the Lord's work than what she is wasting on His feet." There is gâdal for you.

And now he is becoming demon-possessed.

The Final Decision

Notice the final decision, The Desire of Ages, pages 653 – 655:

"In surprise and confusion at the exposure of his purpose, Judas rose hastily to leave the room. 'Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. . . . He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.'"—

It was nighttime, the Midnight Cry.

—"Night it was to the traitor as he turned away from Christ into the outer darkness.

"Until this step was taken, Judas had not passed beyond the possibility of repentance."—

Now, Brothers and Sisters, he is still going to go covenant with them for the third time, where he gets the money; but, when he leaves Jesus right here at the foot washing, his story begins with the foot washing of Mary and ends with the foot washing of the Disciples. He is illustrated from beginning to end as exhibiting gâdal. He is rebelling against foot washing, humility. That is gâdal. That is the Daily.

But, before he covenants the third time, he has already closed his probation. Okay?

When the Adventists receive the strong delusion, it is before The Sunday Law; and, their probation is already closed before The Sunday Law.

And, if you are not receiving the strong delusion and you are a Seventh-day Adventist and you are going to receive the Seal of God, your probation closes before The Sunday Law. The Sunday Law is simply the test where you are going to demonstrate which character you have prepared. And, this is the case with Judas. He has already closed his probation before he goes the third time.

—"Until this step was taken, Judas had not passed beyond the possibility of repentance. But when he left the presence of his Lord and his fellow disciples, the final decision had been made. He had passed the boundary line.

"Wonderful had been the long-suffering of Jesus in His dealing with this tempted soul. Nothing that could be done to save Judas had been left undone. After he had twice covenanted to betray his Lord, Jesus still gave him opportunity for repentance. By reading the secret purpose of the traitor's heart, Christ gave to Judas the final, convincing evidence of His divinity. This was to the false disciple the last call to repentance. No appeal that the divine-human heart of Christ could make had been spared. The waves of mercy, beaten back by stubborn pride, returned in a stronger tide of subduing love. But although surprised and alarmed at the discovery of his guilt, Judas became only the more determined. From the sacramental supper he went out to complete the work of betrayal.

"In pronouncing the woe upon Judas, Christ also had a purpose of mercy toward His disciples. He thus gave them the crowning evidence of His Messiahship. 'I tell you before it come,' He said, 'that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I AM.' Had Jesus remained silent, in apparent ignorance of what was to come upon Him, the disciples might have thought that their Master had not divine foresight, and had been surprised and betrayed into the hands of the murderous mob. A year before, Jesus had told the disciples that He had chosen twelve, and that one was a devil. Now His words to Judas, showing that his treachery was fully known to his Master, would strengthen the faith of Christ's true followers during His humiliation. And when Judas should have come to his dreadful end, they would remember the woe that Jesus had pronounced upon the betrayer." The Desire of Ages, 653–655.

Revealed in His Time

So, you have some quotes here about Judas.

"⁶And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. ⁷For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. ⁸And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming." 2 Thessalonians 2:6–8 (KJV).

The Mystery of Iniquity Doth Already Work

Review and Herald, November 16, 1897:

"But Judas had opened the door of his heart, the chambers of his mind, to the temptations of Satan. And the enemy sowed in his heart and mind the seed which he communicated to his brethren. The questioning doubts which were passed on to the minds of his brethren. This one man, professing to be a follower of Christ, while not bearing the precious fruit revealed in the life of Christ, would be a channel of darkness to the other disciples in the time of test and trial that was soon to come, and that was even then upon them. He presented so much accusation of his brethren that he was counterworking the lessons of Christ. This is why Jesus called Judas a devil." Review and Herald, November 16, 1897.

In here [at the first test] he begins to mix truth and error as he interacts with the Disciples down in this history. That is the Mystery of Iniquity, and this Iniquity leads him to falling away.

A Falling Away First

And you have the quote in there that when he goes out and hangs himself, the branch would not hold him, would it?

The Desire of Ages, pages 718 – 722:

"In falling, his body had been horribly mangled, and dogs were now devouring it. His remains were immediately buried out of sight; but there was less mockery among the throng, and many a pale face revealed the thoughts within. Retribution seemed already visiting those who were guilty of the blood of Jesus." The Desire of Ages, 718–722.

So, he falls away before the cross. Okay? And the cross is here, and then Barabbas, who is a false Christ, is revealed.

The Man of Sin Revealed

The Desire of Ages, page 738:

"That people who chose Barabbas in the place of Christ were to feel the cruelty of Barabbas as long as time should last." The Desire of Ages, 738.

The Great Controversy, page 43:

"But Judas did not walk in the light so graciously permitted to shine upon him. By indulgence in sin he invited the temptations of Satan. His evil traits of character became predominant. He yielded his mind to the control of the powers of darkness, he became angry when his faults were reproved, and thus he was led to commit the fearful crime of betraying his Master. So do all who cherish evil under a profession of godliness hate those who disturb their peace by condemning their course of sin. When a favorable opportunity is presented, they will, like Judas, betray those who for their good have sought to reprove them." The Great Controversy, 43.

Self-Exaltation; Spiritualism, a Falling Away and a False Christ

Selected Messages, book 1, pages 204 – 205:

"The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization. Were this reformation to take place, what would result? The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. Our religion would be changed. The fundamental principles that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. A new organization would be established. Books of a new order would be written. A system of intellectual philosophy would be introduced. The founders of this system would go into the cities, and do a wonderful work. The Sabbath of course, would be lightly regarded, as also the God who created it. Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement. The leaders would teach that virtue is better than vice, but God being removed, they would place their dependence on human power, which, without God, is worthless. Their foundation would be built on the sand, and storm and tempest would sweep away the structure.

"Who has authority to begin such a movement? We have our Bibles. We have our experience, attested to by the miraculous working of the Holy Spirit. We have a truth that admits of no compromise. Shall we not repudiate everything that is not in harmony with this truth?" Selected Messages, book 1, 204–205.

Summary

Okay. So, what am I saying?

I am saying that Daniel 8:11 opens up an illustration of the work of Satan as he counterfeits the Temple of God through history.

That Satan is here [Figure No. 168A] sacrificing Pagan Rome in order to lift up Paganism.

He is here [Figure No. 168B] sacrificing Papal Rome in order to lift up Paganism.

Here [Figure No. 168D] he is sacrificing Protestantism in order to lift up Paganism.

And, here [Figure No. 168E] he is sacrificing Adventism in order to lift up Paganism.

And these temples that he is portrayed in, in these histories, are nothing more than the Pantheon Temple in that particular place in history.

And the first step towards death for Seventh-day Adventists at the end is represented by the Daily in the Book of Daniel, the self-exaltation that allows someone to place their own human wisdom above a "Thus saith the Lord," whether it occurs in the Bible or in the Spirit of Prophecy; and, that this truth is one of the truths connected with the Daily in the Book of Daniel, whether God's people want to see it or not.

Shall we pray?

Benediction: Heavenly Father, we ask that you awaken us to the crisis that your people are now in, in this testing process that the separation is well underway. We do not want to be like Judas; we want to be like John. We want to be benefited by the light; we do not want to reject the light; we do not want to be hardened by the light. We want to be softened and changed into your image. We thank you for the lines of information that you have given us, but we know that information is worthless if we cannot turn it into an experience that glorifies you; so, we ask that you give us the wisdom to not only understand these wonderful truths but the wisdom on how to allow these truths to change us into your image. We have a busy day today. We have people arriving. We are going to begin a week of presentations with Pastor Emiliano; so, we ask that those people that are traveling here, that you give them traveling mercies and that you would make this coming week a blessing to all involved, that you would watch over and protect the work that we are doing with the LiveStreaming and the DVDs; and, we thank you in advance for doing this. In Jesus's name, amen.
