    1844 IN PROPHECY #11

    THE 2520ISAIAH 7 NUMBERFOUR

    A CIVIL WARBETWEEN NORTH & SOUTHIsaiah 7:17

    God does not design that men shall appropriate

    all that the earth produces for their own selfishpurposes. He calls upon them to bring their tithesand offerings into His storehouse, that there may bemeat in His house.

    In India, China, Russia, and the cities ofAmerica, thousands of men and women are dyingof starvation. The monied men, because they havethe power, control the market. They purchase at lowrates all they can obtain, and then sell at greatlyincreased prices. This means starvation to the

    poorer classes, and will result in a civil war. Therewill be a time of trouble such as never was sincethere was a nation. And at that time shall Michaelstand up, the great prince which standeth for thechildren of thy people: and there shall be a time oftrouble such as never was since there was a nation,even to that same time; and at that time thy peopleshall be delivered, everyone that shall be foundwritten in the book. . . . Many shall be purified, andmade white, and tried; but the wicked shall dowickedly, and none of the wicked shall understand,

    but the wise shall understand. ManuscriptReleases, volume 5, 305.

    742 & 1863 WAS THE TURNING POINT INCIVIL WAR

    There are lessons to be learned from thehistory of the past; and attention is called tothese, that all may understand that God workson the same lines now that He ever has done. Hishand is seen in His work and among the nationsnow, 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 . In theprovidence of God, when these different crisesarrive, the light for that time is given. If it isreceived, there is spiritual progress; if it is rejected,spiritual declension and shipwreck follow. TheLord in His word has opened up the aggressivework of the gospel as it has been carried on inthe past, and will be in the future, even to theclosing conflict, when Satanic agencies will maketheir last wonderful movement.

    Dumnezeu nu a rnduit ca oamenii s- i insu easc tot ceea ce pmntul produce pentru scopurile lor egoiste. El le face apel s aduczecimile i darurile n casa vistieriei, ca s fie hran n casa Lui.

    AHAZS SHIPWRECK (THE KING OF THENORTH)

    Isaiah 8:78

    ADVENTISMS REJECTED SIGNTHE 2520ADVENTISMS REJECTED LIGHT (HEALTH

    REFORM)

    Seventh-day Adventists are handlingmomentous truths. More than forty years ago [in1863] the Lord gave us special light on healthreform, but how are we walking in that light? Howmany have refused to live in harmony with thecounsels of God! As a people, we should makeadvancement proportionate to the light received. Itis our duty to understand and respect the principlesof health reform. On the subject of temperance weshould be in advance of all other people; and yetthere are among us well-instructed members of thechurch, and even ministers of the gospel, who havelittle respect for the light that God has given uponthis subject. They eat as they please and work asthey please. Testimonies, volume 9, 158.

    ADVENTISMS SHIPWRECK (THE ALPHA ANDOMEGA APOSTASY)

    What is the message that we are to give?Ho,every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, andhe that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea,

    come, buy wine and milk without money andwithout price. . . .To my ministering brethren I would say,

    Prosecute this work with tact and ability. Set towork the young men and the young women in ourchurches. Combine the medical missionary workwith the proclamation of the third angels message.Make regular, organized effort to lift the churchesout of the dead level into which they have fallen,and have remained for years. Send into the churchesworkers who will set the principles of health reform

    in their connection with the third angels message,before every family and individual. Encourage allto take a part in work for their fellow men, and seeif the breath of life will not quickly return to thesechurches. . . .

    The indifference which has existed among ourministers in regard to health reform and medicalmissionary work is surprising. Some who do not

    profess to be Christians treat these matters withgreater reverence than do some of our own people,and unless we arouse, they will go in advance of

    us. Special Testimonies for Ministers and Workers,1819.

    THE LORDS PHYSICIANThe answer came in a very forceful way. Friday

    evening, February 15, as Ellen White met with herfamily in the sitting room for worship, she wasdeeply burdened with a decision about Dr.Kelloggs invitation. She began to pray about it. Inreporting the experience, she says, I was asking theLord where I should go and what I should do. I was

    for backing out. . . . Well, while I was praying andwas sending up my petition, there was, as has beena hundred times or more, a soft light circling aroundin the room, and a fragrance like the fragrance offlowers, of a beautiful scent of flowers.MS 43a,1901. And a voice said, Respect the courtesy ofMy servant, John Kellogg, the physician by Myappointment. He needs encouragement that youcan give him. Let him put his trust in Me. My armis strong to uphold and sustain. He may safely leanupon My strength. I have a work for him to do. He

    must not fail nor be discouraged. Arthur White,EGW Biography, volume 5, 53.

    CONSTANT COMMUNICATIONChrist is spoken of as walking in the midst of

    the golden candlesticks. Thus is symbolized Hisrelation to the churches. He is in constantcommunication with His people. Acts of the

    Apostles, 586.

    HEAVENLY ANGELS

    The ladder which Jacob saw in the night vision,the base of it resting upon the earth and the topmostround reaching unto the highest heavens; Godhimself above the ladder, and his glory shiningupon every round; angels ascending and descendingupon this ladder of shining brightness, is a symbolof constant communication kept up between thisworld and heavenly places. God accomplishes hiswill through the instrumentality of heavenly angelsin continual intercourse with humanity. This ladderreveals a direct and important channel of

    communication with the inhabitants of this earth.The ladder represented to Jacob the worldsRedeemer, who links earth and heaven together.Christian Education, 155.

    THE CROSSThe cross of Calvary is placed between heaven

    and earth as a perpetual memorial, calling theattention to a holier world than this. It is themedium of a constant communication with theworld of light; the mind is constantly drawn awayfrom the earthly to the heavenly, surveying theattractions of Him who everliveth to makeintercession for us; and those who thus keep theheavenly world in view will be uplifted above thisin their affections and pursuits. The Medical

    Missionary, May 1, 1891.

    The anointed ones standing by the Lord of thewhole earth, have the position once given to Satanas covering cherub. By the holy beings surrounding

    his throne, the Lord keeps up a constantcommunication with the inhabitants of the earth.The golden oil represents the grace with which Godkeeps the lamps of believers supplied, that theyshall not flicker and go out. Were it not that thisholy oil is poured from heaven in the messages ofGods Spirit, the agencies of evil would have entirecontrol over men.

    God is dishonored when we do not receive thecommunications which he sends us. Thus we refusethe golden oil which he would pour into our souls

    to be communicated to those in darkness. When thecall shall come, Behold, the bridegroom cometh;go ye out to meet him, those who have not received

    COMUNICARE CONSTANTNi se spune despre Hristos c umbl prin

    the holy oil, who have not cherished the grace ofChrist in their hearts, will find, like the foolishvirgins, that they are not ready to meet their Lord.They have not, in themselves, the power to obtainthe oil, and their lives are wrecked. But if GodsHoly Spirit is asked for, if we plead, as did Moses,Show me thy glory, the love of God will be shedabroad in our hearts. Through the golden pipes, the

    golden oil will be communicated to us. Not bymight, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith theLord of Hosts. By receiving the bright beams of theSun of Righteousness, Gods children shine aslights in the world. Review and Herald, July 20,1897.

    MALACHIANDTHE TWO TEMPLE CLEANSINGS

    In the cleansing of the temple, Jesus wasannouncing His mission as the Messiah, andentering upon His work. That temple, erected forthe abode of the divine Presence, was designed to

    be an object lesson for Israel and for the world.From eternal ages it was Gods purpose that everycreated being, from the bright and holy seraph to

    man, should be a temple for the indwelling of theCreator. Because of sin, humanity ceased to be atemple for God. Darkened and defiled by evil, theheart of man no longer revealed the glory of theDivine One. But by the incarnation of the Son ofGod, the purpose of Heaven is fulfilled. God dwellsin humanity, and through saving grace the heart ofman becomes again His temple. God designed thatthe temple at Jerusalem should be a continualwitness to the high destiny open to every soul. Butthe Jews had not understood the significance ofthe building they regarded with so much pride.They did not yield themselves as holy temples forthe Divine Spirit. The courts of the temple atJerusalem, filled with the tumult of unholy traffic,represented all too truly the temple of the heart,defiled by the presence of sensual passion andunholy thoughts.

    In cleansing the temple from the worlds buyersand sellers, Jesus announced His mission tocleanse the heart from the defilement of sin,

    from the earthly desires, the selfish lusts, the evilhabits, that corrupt the soul. Malachi 3:13quoted. The Desire of Ages, 161.

    uleiul sfnt, care nu au pre uit harul lui Hristos n inimile lor, i vor da seama, asemenea fecioarelor nechibzuite, c nu sunt gata s-l ntlneasc peDomnul lor. Ei nu au n ei n i i puterea de a ob ine uleiul, i vie ile lor sunt distruse. Dar dac Duhul Sfnt a lui Dumnezeu este cerut, dac struim, a a cum a fcut Moise, `Arat-mi Slava Ta, dragostealui Dumnezeu va fi turnat n inimile nostre. Prin

    evile auri, uleiul auriu ne va fi transmis. `Nici prin putere, nici prin trie ci prin Duhul Meu ziceDomnul otirilor!` Prin primirea razelorstrlucitoare ale Soarelui Neprihnirii, copiii luiDumnezeu strlucesc ca ni te lumini n lume.

    THREE HISTORIESThe prophet says, I saw another angel come

    down from heaven, having great power; and theearth was lightened with his glory. And he criedmightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon thegreat is fallen, is fallen, and is become thehabitation of devils (Revelation 18:1, 2). This isthe same message that was given by the second

    angel. Babylon is fallen, because she made allnations drink of the wine of the wrath of herfornication (Revelation 14:8). What is that wine?Her false doctrines. She has given to the world afalse sabbath instead of the Sabbath of the fourthcommandment, and has repeated the falsehood thatSatan first told Eve in Edenthe naturalimmortality of the soul. Many kindred errors shehas spread far and wide, teaching for doctrines thecommandments of men (Matthew 15:9).

    When Jesus began His public ministry, He

    cleansed the Temple from its sacrilegiousprofanation. Among the last acts of His ministrywas the second cleansing of the Temple. So in thelast work for the warning of the world, twodistinct calls are made to the churches. Thesecond angels message is, Babylon is fallen, isfallen, that great city, because she made all nationsdrink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication(Revelation 14:8). And in the loud cry of the thirdangels message a voice is heard from heavensaying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not

    partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of herplagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, andGod hath remembered her iniquities (Revelation18:4, 5). Selected Messages, book 2, 118.

    THE FIELDNEW FIELDSThus the message of the third angel will be

    proclaimed. As the time comes for it to be givenwith greatest power, the Lord will work throughhumble instruments, leading the minds of thosewho consecrate themselves to His service. Thelaborers will be qualified rather by the unctionof His Spirit than by the training of literaryinstitutions. Men of faith and prayer will beconstrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring thewords which God gives them. The sins of Babylonwill be laid open. The fearful results of enforcingthe observances of the church by civil authority, the

    inroads of spiritualism, the stealthy but rapidprogress of the papal powerall will be unmasked.By these solemn warnings the people will be

    ISTORIILEProfetul spune: Dup aceea, am vzut

    coborndu-se din cer un alt nger, care avea o mareputere; i pmntul s-a luminat de slava lui.

    El a strigat cu glas tare i a zis: A czut, a czutBabilonul cel mare! A ajuns un loca al dracilor, onchisoare a oricrui duh necurat, o nchisoare aoricrei psri necurate i urte (Apoc.18:1-2).

    Aceasta este aceia i solie care a fost vestit de al doilea nger. Babilonul, cetatea cea mare, a czut,pentru c a adpat toate neamurile din vinulmniei curviei ei! (Apoc.14:8). Ce este vinulacesta? Doctrinele lui false. El a dat lumii unsabat fals n locul Sbatului poruncii a patra, i a repetat minciuna pe care Satana i-a spus-o primadat Evei n Eden nemurirea natural asufletului. El a rspndit pretutindeni multe eroriasemntoare, nvnd ca nvturi nite porunciomeneti. (Matei 15:9)

    Cnd Isus i-a nceput misiunea public de slujire, El a cur it Templul de lucrurile care l

    profanau. Printre ultimele acte ale lucrrii Lui a fosta doua cr ire a Templului. Tot a a, n ultima lucrare de avertizare a lumii, dou chemridistincte sunt adresate bisericilor. A doua soliengereasc este: A czut, a czut Babilonul, cetateacea mare, care a adpat toate neamurile din vinulmniei curviei ei! (Apoc. 14:8). Iar n mareastrigarea a soliei ngerului al treilea, o voce esteauzit din cer spunnd: Apoi am auzit din cer unalt glas, care zicea: Ieii din mijlocul ei, poporulMeu, ca s nu fii prtai la pcatele ei i s nu fiilovii cu urgiile ei!

    stirred. Thousands upon thousands will listen whohave never heard words like these. In amazementthey hear the testimony that Babylon is the church,fallen because of her errors and sins, because of herrejection of the truth sent to her from heaven. As the

    people go to their former teachers with the eagerinquiry, Are these things so? the ministers presentfables, prophesy smooth things, to soothe their fears

    and quiet the awakened conscience. But since manyrefuse to be satisfied with the mere authority of menand demand a plain Thus saith the Lord, the

    popular ministry, like the Pharisees of old, filledwith anger as their authority is questioned, willdenounce the message as of Satan and stir up thesin-loving multitudes to revile and persecute thosewho proclaim it.

    As the controversy extends into new fieldsand the minds of the people are called to Godsdowntrodden law, Satan is astir. The power

    attending the message will only madden those whooppose it. The clergy will put forth almostsuperhuman efforts to shut away the light lest itshould shine upon their flocks. By every means attheir command they will endeavor to suppress thediscussion of these vital questions. The churchappeals to the strong arm of civil power, and, in thiswork, papists and Protestants unite. As themovement for Sunday enforcement becomesmore bold and decided, the law will be invokedagainst commandment keepers. They will bethreatened with fines and imprisonment, and somewill be offered positions of influence, and otherrewards and advantages, as inducements torenounce their faith. But their steadfast answer is:Show us from the word of God our errorthesame plea that was made by Luther under similarcircumstances. Those who are arraigned before thecourts make a strong vindication of the truth, andsome who hear them are led to take their stand tokeep all the commandments of God. Thus light will

    be brought before thousands who otherwise wouldknow nothing of these truths. The GreatControversy, 605606.

    i mii vor auzi cuvinte pe care nu le-au mai auzitniciodat. Cu uimire vor asculta mrturia cBabilonul este biserica deczut din cauzartcirilor i pcatelor ei, din cauza lepdriiadevrului trimis pentru ea din cer. Cnd oameniimerg la nvtorii lor de mai nainte, cu ntrebarearscolitoare: Sunt aceste lucruri aa?, slujitorii le

    prezint fabule, proorocesc lucruri plcute pentru a

    le potoli temerile i pentru a liniti contiina trezit.Dar n timp ce muli refuz s se mulumeasc doarcu autoritatea oamenilor i cer un Aa ziceDomnul, slujitorii populari, asemenea fariseilordin vechime, plini de mnie c autoritatea lor este

    pus la ndoial, vor denuna solia ca fiind de laSatana i vor provoca mulimile iubitoare de pcats-i insulte i s-i prigoneasc pe aceia care ovestesc.

    Pe msur ce lupta se extinde n domenii noi imintea oamenilor este atras ctre Legea lui

    Dumnezeu, cea clcat n picioare, Satana se agit.Puterea care nsoete solia nu face dect s-i mniei mai mult pe aceia care se mpotrivesc.Conductorii spirituali vor face eforturi aproapesupraomeneti pentru a ndeprta lumina ca s nulumineze peste turma lor. Prin toate mijloacele pecare le au la dispoziie, vor ncerca s interzicdiscutarea acestor probleme vitale. Biserica va faceapel la braul cel mai puternic al puterii civile i

    papistaii i protestanii se vor uni n aceastlucrare. Pe msur ce micarea pentruimpunerea duminicii devine mai ndrznea imai hotrt, va fi chemat n ajutor legea

    mpotriva celor ce pzesc porunca a patra. Ei vorfi ameninai cu amenzi i nchisoare, iar unora levor fi oferite poziii cu influen i alte beneficii iavantaje, cu condiia s renune la credina lor. Darrspunsul lor statornic va fi: Artai-ne dinCuvntul lui Dumnezeu rtcirea noastr, acelairspuns pe care l-a dat i Luther n mprejurriasemntoare. Aceia care sunt tri naintea

    tribunalelor aduc o puternic susinere a adevrului,iar unii care aud sunt condui s ia poziie pentrupzirea tuturor poruncilor lui Dumnezeu. n felulacesta, lumina va fi adus multor mii de suflete carealtfel n-ar putea cunoate nimic despre acesteadevruri. Tragedia veacurilor, pag. 605606.
