Satan, through the leaders, has brought licentiousness into the church. See Patriarchs and Prophets, page 454.
(4) Satan’s method of deception, name idolatry. The Great Controversy states that the Sunday Law will be enforced under the guise of combating calamities. Additionally, Pope Francis states in Laudato Si, that the nations must enforce Sunday to combat climate change. (33:53)
“Flooding Kills Dozens In Europe And Texas, Displaces Thousands More…Climate-change related flooding is projected to double in Europe by 2050.”

(6) Pope Francis: “The earth is important to us, to everyone, because it’s what has given us life and it takes care of us.” “Our duty is to take care of it care of it like a mother or a sister,” the pope said, “that is, with responsibility, tenderness and peace.” Pope stated that Sunday must be enforced as the law of the land to care for nature. (36:30)
(7) The following is a fulfillment of Revelation 13:15-17. “Under the terms of a code of conduct, the firms, which also include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft, have committed to "quickly and efficiently" tackle illegal hate speech directed against anyone over issues of race, color, RELIGION, descent or national or ethnic origin. (38:24)

As they drew near to the city they met some young maidens who had come out to draw water, and inquired of them for the seer. In reply they were told that a religious service was about to take place, that the prophet had already arrived, there was to be an offering upon "the high place," and after that a sacrificial feast. A great change had taken place under Samuel's administration. When the call of God first came to him the services of the sanctuary were held in contempt. "Men abhorred the offering of the Lord." 1 Samuel 2:17. But the worship of God was now maintained throughout the land, and the people manifested an interest in religious services. There being no ministration in the tabernacle, sacrifices were for the time offered elsewhere; and the cities of the priests and Levites, where the people resorted for instruction, were chosen for this purpose. The highest points in these cities were usually selected as the place of sacrifice, and hence were called "the high places." {PP 609.1}

Let not any living hand, of minister or layman, be laid upon you with the statement, "You cannot go here, you must not go there; we shall not support you if you do not go at our bidding; or if you do not give yourself to the work of bringing souls into the truth in some certain place designated by us." God will bless you as you continue to search for lost souls in out-of-the-way places. {PH113 14.2}

Subjects Addressed: (1) “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.” Rev. 22:14
(2) By disobeying God Adam and Eve were barred from the Tree of Life and were removed from Eden. By obeying God’s Ten Commandments and the principles therein, we may regain what Adam and Eve lost. (1:35)
(3) Sorcerers (pharmacists, druggists, and magicians) will be without God’s kingdom. “Our institutions are established that the sick may be treated by hygienic methods, discarding almost entirely the use of drugs. . . . There is a terrible account to be rendered to God by men who have so little regard for human life as to treat the body so ruthlessly in dealing out their drugs. . . . We are not excusable if through ignorance we destroy God's building by taking into our stomachs poisonous drugs under a variety of names we do not understand. It is our duty to refuse all such prescriptions.” {2SM 283.4} (12:12)
(4) Whoremongers, those who practice the sins of the LGBT community and refuse to repent, will be without God’s kingdom. (21:33)
(5) There’s a connection between sorcerers and whoremongers: Research shows that marijuana, along with other recreational drugs, go hand in hand with the sinful lifestyle of the LGBT community. (25:25)
(6) Presently, a large number of Seventh-day Adventist leaders are persuading the members of their churches to support and accept the people who are practicing the sins of the LGBT community; and that the SDA members should allow the LGBT people to become and remain members and even hold leadership positions in the churches. By this, these SDA churches are accepting and developing sorcerers and whoremongers. In other words, there is going to be an epidemic of people using recreational drugs within the Seventh-day Adventist churches, openly and privately. This is a sign of the last days. In such a deplorable condition, these supporters of sorcery and whoremongering cannot receive the latter rain. See Jeremiah 3:3. They will not receive the seal of God, the Father’s name in their foreheads (Revelation 14:1), but they will receive the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:15-17). (34:04)
(7) “Christians, Muslims, Jews Compete at Israel's 1st Transgender Pageant” Friday's competition in Tel Aviv is the country's first of its kind — and brings together Jews, Christians and Muslims in a region known more for its deep divisions. (40:50)
(8) Murderers, Idolaters, and all Liars will be without God’s kingdom. (42:43)
(9) Those who do God’s commandments, Jesus promises them the right to life, or the right to eternal life. Those are similar words to the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Jesus is saying to us that when the civil and religious powers unite to persecute and to restrict our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, He will restore unto us those three. (46:54)
(10) “Do No Harm Act” will restrict religious liberty. (53:25)
(11) “America’s Global Campaign for Gay Rights” is one sure step to fulfill the following: “As America, the land of religious liberty, shall unite with the papacy in forcing the conscience and compelling men to honor the false sabbath, the people of every country on the globe will be led to follow her example. Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” {Mar 214.4} (55:05)
(12) Tonga government bans businesses opening on Sunday due to “Sunday being the Sabbath.” (1:00:44)

Beware of procrastination. Do not put off the work of forsaking your sins and seeking purity of heart through Jesus. Here is where thousands upon thousands have erred to their eternal loss. I will not here dwell upon the shortness and uncertainty of life; but there is a terrible danger--a danger not sufficiently understood--in delaying to yield to the pleading voice of God's Holy Spirit, in choosing to live in sin; for such this delay really is. Sin, however small it may be esteemed, can be indulged in only at the peril of infinite loss. What we do not overcome, will overcome us and work out our destruction. {SC 32.2}

Subjects Addressed: (1) “Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” Revelation 22:7
(2) The Daily and the Abomination of Desolation are connected with the unsealing of the book of Prophecy. Study to receive the blessing. (13:11)
(3) The Papacy, the Abomination of Desolation, fulfills the prophecy of Daniel 7:25. (19:54)
(4) Pope Francis blasphemes Jesus by saying the following: “Jesus and His disciples spreading the Gospel is no different than Waging Jihad.” “Jesus' Life Ended in Failure.” “Jesus begged Mary to forgive Him.” (25:12)
(5) The Daily is the pagan Roman Empire in the primary sense. The Roman Empire legalized same-sex unions. The nations today, including the U.S.A., have done the same. There is a modern-day application of the Daily, Paganism. (32:40)
(6) Albert Mohler: Canada legislated that preaching against the sins of the LGBT community from the Bible or other literature is “hate speech.” The speakers will be fined and prosecuted. Religious liberty is effectively dead. The same things are happening in the U.S.A. (35:34)
(7) Canadian chief officer declared that The Great Controversy book falls into the category of “hate literature.” (42:50)
(8) Bestiality is an epidemic. Nations have legalized it. Other politicians are trying to prevent it. Leviticus 18:23-29 is being fulfilled. (45:51)
(9) The Amalgamation of humans and animals have begun under various disguises. The Lord’s messenger says, “But if there was one sin above another which called for the destruction of the race by the flood, it was the base crime of amalgamation of man and beast which defaced the image of God, and caused confusion everywhere.” (50:18)
(10) The two step process of completely healing the deadly wound of the Papacy will begin on October 31, 2016. The last step will occur on October 31, 2017. (52:30)

The prophet here describes a people who, in a time of general departure from truth and righteousness, are seeking to restore the principles that are the foundation of the kingdom of God. They are repairers of a breach that has been made in God's law--the wall that He has placed around His chosen ones for their protection, and obedience to whose precepts of justice, truth, and purity is to be their perpetual safeguard. In words of unmistakable meaning the prophet points out the specific work of this remnant people who build the wall. "If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on My holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; and shalt honor Him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." Isaiah 58:13, 14. {Prophets and Kings, 677, 678}

Subjects Addressed: (1) “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power…” Revelation 20:6
(2) The partial or special resurrection, along with the first resurrection. (4:00)
(3) Making sense of Gog and Magog. (22:00)
(4) Dr. Wood: The Papacy has implemented most of the changes that Martin Luther called for; therefore it is time for Protestants to untie with the Papacy and heal the divisions at the roots. (22:55)
(5) Pope Francis, a superior Jesuit, stated “I am Vatican II;” I will evangelize the world. (36:07)
(6) Rising Influence of the Papacy: “Pope Francis, the “voice of conscience” for world nations. “Preaching Pope Francis’s Politics May Be the Key to Becoming President.” (40:00)
(7) The Obama administration has reinterpreted Federal Law Title IX and has inserted statements to promote and support sodomy. Then the administration is now using the power of the purse, telling individuals and organizations that if they do not adopt and implement its policies of sodomy, then they will lose Federal funding. This is a precursor to the Sunday Law crisis. Revelation 13:15-17. (42:30)
(8) At the core of the Obamacare Law, the LGBT movement and the Obama administration’s directives to Federally funded institutions is the trampling upon the rights of conscience. (49:48)
(9) For decades, students of Bible prophecy have used the bison or buffalo as the primary image for Protestant America, the lamblike beast of Revelation 13:11 that will speak as a dragon. Officially, the Federal Government has made the bison the national beast, the national mammal of the United States. Surely they have their reasons for this; however, to students of Bible prophecy this is a prophetic move for the fulfillment of Revelation 13:11-17. (52:30)

The great controversy between Christ and Satan, that has been carried forward for nearly six thousand years, is soon to close; and the wicked one redoubles his efforts to defeat the work of Christ in man's behalf and to fasten souls in his snares. To hold the people in darkness and impenitence till the Savior's mediation is ended, and there is no longer a sacrifice for sin, is the object which he seeks to accomplish. {The Great Controversy, 518.1}
Satan's work of ruin is forever ended. For six thousand years he has wrought his will, filling the earth with woe and causing grief throughout the universe. The whole creation has groaned and travailed together in pain. Now God's creatures are forever delivered from his presence and temptations. {The Great Controversy, 673.2}
Sunday, 25 September 2016
Subjects Addressed: (1) “Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” Rev. 19:9
(2) Marriage represents the union of two persons. Jesus is calling us to be one with Him. This marriage is connected to the Day of Atonement. (2:14)
(3) Supper time preceded the Passover in the days of Jesus and Moses. Supper time is connected to the close of probation, the plagues, and the N.S.L. (12:42)
(4) The European Sunday Alliance states “Sunday work is a danger to our health and safety;” therefore Sunday must be observed by all people to preserve lives. (22:07)
(5) The National Day of Prayer is a movement to unite Church and State. Tony Evans stated that Church and State must unite to combat immorality and lawlessness. (23:38)
(6) Pope Francis receives the Charlemagne Prize for being Europe's “voice of conscience;” Pope is being placed as the head of the nations. This is one step to fulfill Revelation 17:12-14. (29:35)
(7) The Charlemagne Prize is ‘the oldest and best-known prize awarded for work done in the service of European unification.” It was given to Pope Francis. This is a fulfillment of Daniel 2:41-45. (36:50)
(8) Pope says “I have a dream for Europe.” He wants to unite the nations to heal wounds and make the church the head. (42:00)
(9) Thomas Schirrmacher, chief of the World Evangelical Alliance, stated that Christendom must unite with the Papacy, make the Pope the head of the alliance, and this will end global crises. (46:02)
