Subjects Addressed: 1. The Beatitude of Matthew 5:9: In order to make peace with Jesus and others, we must study the “peace offering” in the sanctuary service. (2:40) 2. The Lord told Jehu not to make peace with Jezebel but to preach against her and overthrow her. We must do likewise to the modern-day Jezebel. (30:00) 3. While God has called us to be peacemakers, the “man of sin” poses as the “man of peace”; he is a counterfeit. (36:00) 4. “Pope Francis is a man of peace with immense political power.” “Pope more popular than world leaders.” (38:00) 5. Pope Francis claims to be Jesus as he unites religions through foot-washing and by kissing the feet of men and women. He calls for all religions to unite and live in peace. (40:35) 6. Ted Cruz: We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized. (52:00) 7. Donald Trump: You’re going to have to watch and study the mosques, because a lot of talk is going on in the mosques…we would have absolutely no choice besides shutting down mosques when some bad things happen. (53:15) 8. The return of the Papal Inquisition is near as Pope Francis criticized fundamentalism in Christianity, Islam and Judaism as a form of violence. (55:20) 9. The Lord made a covenant of peace with Phinehas. Phinehas overthrew the abomination of fornication from the camp of Israel on the border of the promised land of Canaan. The Lord seeks for men like Phinehas in these last days. (1:02:15) 10. “When we reach the standard that the Lord would have us reach, worldlings will regard Seventh-day Adventists as odd, singular, strait-laced extremists.” {FE 289.1}

“Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired; Before the decree bring forth, [before] the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you. Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.” Zephaniah 2:1-3. “In the sixth century the papacy had become firmly established...Christians were forced to choose either to yield their integrity and accept the papal ceremonies and worship, or to wear away their lives in dungeons or suffer death by the rack, the fagot, or the headsman's ax.” {GC 54.2}

Had they still trusted to the guiding hand that had been with them in their past experience, they would have seen the salvation of God. If all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the third angel's message and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts. A flood of light would have been shed upon the world. Years ago the inhabitants of the earth would have been warned, the closing work completed, and Christ would have come for the redemption of His people. In like manner, it was not the will of God that the coming of Christ should be so long delayed and His people should remain so many years in this world of sin and sorrow. But unbelief separated them from God. As they refused to do the work which He had appointed them, others were raised up to proclaim the message. {GC 457,458}

“‘Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.’ By these words Christ does not teach that mourning in itself has power to remove the guilt of sin...We often sorrow because our evil deeds bring unpleasant consequences to ourselves; but this is not repentance. Real sorrow for sin is the result of the working of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit reveals the ingratitude of the heart that has slighted and grieved the Saviour, and brings us in contrition to the foot of the cross. By every sin Jesus is wounded afresh; and as we look upon Him whom we have pierced, we mourn for the sins that have brought anguish upon Him. Such mourning will lead to the renunciation of sin.” {DA 300.3}
