All right, I want to talk to you because I was inspired at the camp meeting in Nevada-Utah to talk on this subject. I heard a sermon there on Revelation 13. I will not make any further comment on that part of it. But you know, we keep saying that they do not preach on Revelation 13. So this man talked for the entire time and then he said, I promised to preach on Revelation 13. So at the end he had everybody take their Bibles and then he read through the chapter of Revelation 13.

Actually the sermon was on Revelation 13; he had a lot to say about the dangers that we face. I brought a few pamphlets here. These are put out by the Church and State on the danger that is confronting us and that is a Constitutional Convention. You can order these and pass them out in your neighborhood because I think the people in the United States need to know that there is a lot more behind this than what they are talking about.

By the time they get through with this Constitutional Convention—if they have it—there will be a union of Church and State and the image to the Beast will be given life. Now this man said that Jerry Falwell is going to do it. But Jerry Falwell, friends, is not going to do it. The people that have sponsored this Constitutional Convention are going to do it. You know who they are and you know who the bad guys are.

Jerry Falwell is just a Johnny-come-lately and they are trying to get your attention focused on him so that the really bad guys can do what they want to without opposition. Now Wednesday night I mentioned the quotation, some of you wanted copies of it. That was the one by Martin Luther where he said that toward the end--Luther just before his death speaking of the state of things near the end while writing on the prophetic periods of Daniel in his German Bible, says, about the consummation of these periods that this gospel will be shut out of all the churches and confined to private homes.

I have a few copies of this and those of you who really want one and will use it; incidentally, the first part of this pamphlet by James White is a reprint of a sermon given in England. This is the type of preaching that Sister White says we are to do now. You can copy them all you want. Anyway, the statement here is January 19, 1903. It says, "We have, as John, a message to bear of the things that we have seen and heard. God is not giving us a new message."

Now remember that, friends. God is not giving us a new message. I will have a little more to say on that later on. I will have a little more to say about that a little later on. We are to proclaim the message that in 1843 and 1844 brought us out of the other churches. Where did it take us? Out, not in, friends, not joining with, but out of the other churches. "We need the Holy Spirit to kindle in our hearts the zeal and earnestness that was then seen among God’s people. I thank the Lord that there are still a few who can remember those days, and who know whereof they speak." Review and Herald January 19, 1903.

But I have a few copies of these and if some of you want these you can have them. And I think I only have about three, that is not very many. The statement I read is from the Review and Herald, January 19, 1903. Now you can all get that first statement. I am keeping this copy, this is my copy. You can copy that. I have a few extra of those, too. But this one here is mine. This was printed by James White in 1852 in Rochester, New York, and used by the early Seventh-day Adventists.

Now to get to the topic that I want to talk to you about. We are living in very serious times. That was impressed upon me at the camp meeting in Lake Tahoe, that the Nevada-Utah conference had. There are two things that I think we need to have indelibly impressed upon our minds. One is Revelation 18:1-4, and Revelation 14 the First Angel’s message and the Second Angel’s message and the Third Angel’s message.

Now if we do not understand these, we are going to be deceived. Now you know what the Three Angel’s messages are and I am not going to spend a lot of time on them. But in Revelation 18:2 it says, "He cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." Now you had better believe that, friends. And you had better believe that that is the case right now.

And you had better throw Questions on Doctrines out because it says Babylon fell and Babylon will fall again. But it is recovered right now and it is really pretty good. And that is exactly what the people were told at the Nevada-Utah camp meeting at Lake Tahoe. Now they left out the details. But he told them that what the things that were happening out among the evangelicals, we had better pay attention to, because they were important.

Now the people did not know what he was talking about. And I would not have known what he was talking except I had just gotten this in the mail about four or five days earlier. I am on their mailing list and I am thankful that I am. World Challenge Inc. the title of this article is "There is a Cry of Repentance in the Land." The things that he says they were repenting of are rock and roll music. That is why I say you are going to be deceived.

Punk rockers, and he attacks in here and calls for repentance on the part of Christians who bring rock and roll music into their services and who bring this type of thing. Exactly what Sister White said was going to happen in the last days when she said that they would be bringing in drums and guitars and that type of music into our religious services. And she says that they would refer to God as though they were talking about someone or some common thing.

You had better study your Testimonies, friends if you are going to be prepared. The next thing that he called for them to repent of was watching television. Throw the set out. That is the problem. It sounds wonderful. And you could read this and probably at the end of it say, amen. But this speaker at the Nevada-Utah camp meeting also brought another fact. And this really upset me because I did not realize how ignorant and how blinded the Seventh-day Adventist were. And that is he brought out that one of the largest groups of people contributing to Falwell’s campaign is Seventh-day Adventists.

He is against abortion, friends. He is against child abuse. He is calling for America to repent of pornography. This man is for everything—I should not say everything that is good. He is against most of the things that are bad and so is Jerry Falwell and so are we. Are we not? So we have a lot in common. Do we not? And that is why Seventh-day Adventists are one of the largest groups contributing to this type of campaign being conducted by the Moral Majority and these other corporations.

Because we have so much in common. Now you get all excited when Elder B. B. Beach says we have a lot in common with the National and World Council, do you not? And I tell you, friends, you had better get excited because we have a lot in common with this other group. Now, really, friends, we are living in the time when it is possible that the very elect shall be deceived, and if you do not believe that Babylon is fallen, you shall be deceived.

If you do not believe that they have become the habitation of devils, the hold of every foul spirit and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird, then you are going to be sucked in to this campaign. Tragedy, tragedy, friends; we have found many thousands of Adventists already sucked in to this campaign.

I do a lot of reading in different places and I just got curious as to where we got some of our teachings. Some of the things that are being pushed by the Christian Church and we just more or less accept them. Things that are not in the Bible, as we know it. I just happened to pick up the Epistle of Barnabas. You know, Barnabas, Paul’s associate. This book was not written by Paul’s associate, friends, this book was written probably at least two hundred or three hundred years later, when they began to spiritualize away everything.

But in the Book of Barnabas we find an anti-abortion campaign. In the Book of Barnabas we find that the world is going to last six thousand years and come to its end, and a whole lot of other things that are taught in the Christian Church. But remember, the Book of Barnabas never made it into the Bible and this is why the Catholic Church is so adamant on these things because they accept the Book of Barnabas.

And this has drifted into the Protestant denominations and now it is drifting into the Seventh-day Adventist denomination and it is extra-biblical, friends. It is not in the Bible. It is a side issue to keep you busy about something besides what God would have you busy about. Now, Sister White says that we do not have a new message. Remember that? She says that we are supposed to preach the message that brought them out of the churches.

Today we are joining with them, friends. Now my message is going to try to be calculated to get all these Adventists to quit supporting these things and get about the business that God gave them to do and that is to give the three angels messages to the world. You know, there was a time when Kellogg was going to start soup kitchens and welfare and help others. Well, the beggars, and the hobos, and the prostitutes, and the homosexuals and everything. And so he set up city missions. And Sister White wrote and says God gave that work to the Salvation Army he did not give that work to the Seventh-day Adventist church. He gave us the job of giving the final warning.

Now if you want to do that kind of work then do not claim to be a Seventh-day Adventist. Go join the Salvation Army, go join Jerry Falwell. And get out of the Adventist church because you are not doing the job that God gave us to do. And that is preach the Three Angel’s messages and tell the world what Babylon is, and tell the world it is fallen. And tell the world that if they worship the beast, and tell them what it is. What is it, friends?

And tell them what the image to the beast is. My friends, the beast has got this constitutional convention coming up. And you had better start warning the people about this and shut up about all this other stuff, and quit wasting your time. It is a good cause but Sister White says that we may have to turn away from a hundred causes that are good in themselves, and do what God wants us to do. And this, friends, is what I am concerned about today.

Now this man Wilkerson, David Wilkerson. I have followed this man now for about fifteen years. He has done, in the eyes of the world, a tremendous amount of good. Here is what he prophesies. "I see something coming that rejoices my heart. I see the Holy Spirit breaking forth upon God’s people with such convicting power. Such a spirit and urging toward heart repentance and such soul searching such a searching word from God repentance and weeping, loud crying. Holy prostration for sin will fall and smite everyone in the house. I see hundreds of ministers together being convicted by a word that is coming forth, so powerful, so holy, that men of God will fall on their faces in repentance. Ministers will cry out confessing sins of adultery, sexual sins, hidden sins of all kinds. I see hundreds of ministers and their wives with their hands raised crying out to God for cleansing and healing. They will be lying on the floor, in the corridors; they will be weeping in the restrooms. They will be hanging on the pews; they will stagger and fall under the power of the Holy Ghost’s convicting power. A wave of repentance is already happening. It will spread. The Holy Ghost has promised to purge the sins of Levi. The ministry and these holy repentant purified shepherds will go forth and gather in the bride."

Now, friends, that is going to happen. It is going to happen in the Lutheran church. It is going to happen in the Methodist church, and it is going to happen in the Gospel Businessmen and Fellowship International. And it is going to happen in the Catholic Church. And it is going to happen in all of the Protestant churches. And I am going to add another church to it. It is going to happen in the Seventh-day Adventist church, because the speaker at the camp meeting in Nevada-Utah said we need what this movement has.

And he is a very influential, a very well known Seventh-day Adventist minister. And there are many of our leaders that agree with him. Now I just read you the prophecy. This is what is going to happen, friends. There is going to be an apparent revival and reformation. People are going to, and have been for years gaining the victory over dope addiction, drinking, overeating, and losing weight. They have been controlling their tempers. Broken homes have been put back together by this movement.

And this has deceived thousands, and tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of Seventh-day Adventists. It has deceived hundreds of Seventh-day Adventist ministers who go to the ministerial association and hear things like this that are going on in the other churches and say, Hey we better have some of this in our church. So I went down to New Mexico and I stayed with some people and asked, How are things going? Well they said we are outcasts from the church, the Seventh-day Adventist church.

I said, Why what happened? Well the pastor announced and said, Go and invite all you sick neighbors to come to the Seventh-day Adventist church next Sabbath because we are going to have a mass healing, and we opposed it. When I was at Cabollo, New Mexico. The church is not there though, there is no church in that town. So I had to figure out which direction.

But, friends, that is what is going on in the Seventh-day Adventist church, and at our camp meeting in Nevada-Utah. At Lake Tahoe we had a former Pentecostal minister, whom I have known quite a while. He was there. We had another minister who has gone to Pentecostal meetings and gotten the spirit. He was there speaking. And we had that type of thing going on, friends.

We have been deceived, friends, too many of us, because there is a power in the other churches. But let me read what power it is. "Babylon is fallen. And he cried mightily with a strong voice." Friends we have to go out and shout it from the housetops. And do you know what is going to happen to you? They are going to mob you. So you better put it in print and sneak it under the door and run.

Because Sister White says to a large extent the fourth angel’s message will be given through the printed page. Also she saw what? She saw thousands with their Bibles Where? Under their arms going from door to door. Good, do it, do it quick, friends, it is going to get to the point where you are going to get arrested if you do it a little later on. You better not wait until this constitutional convention to get busy. It will probably be against the law then to go out and say anything bad about anybody.

That is a law, friends, that the Illuminati wants passed. And that is, that you cannot say anything derogatory about anybody’s belief, faith, religion, creed, profession or anything else no matter how bad it is. And on that list, friends, if they do not want you to say anything against and they are going to make that the law of the land, if they can possibly do it, is they do not want you saying anything against anybody’s life style. Meaning homosexuals or other wise.

And they want to pass a law, friends, making it against the law to print anything and mail anything that is derogatory in any way against anybody’s lifestyle, religion, profession or anything at all. That takes care of all freedom of speech, friends. You do not know what you are up against. We had better get busy. Quit sitting around waiting until it gets tough. You know Sister White says the work that we, what? Fail to do, when? We will have to do, when? Under the most trying circumstances.

You people in this country have been spoiled. When I was a child in South America we did not have cars. So we rode the streetcar or the bus to get to church. We lived far enough from the church. We lived far enough from the church that we had to take what they called a "collectivo," it was an oversized, I do not know what you would call it, car, it would seat about nine or ten people, down to where the streetcar ran then take the streetcar, and then still had to walk about eight blocks to get home.

So at Sabbath School every Sabbath they gave us a stack of tracts to pass out on the way home. Well I have been spat on, cursed; they tear them up, stamp on them, and threaten you with their fist when you passed out Protestant literature in those days in Argentina. How many of you have been treated that way? Not in this country. Most of you do not pass out literature. Try it.

Friends, we have a job to do. And time is running out. The one I just got I thought I put it in but I guess I laid it down somewhere. The next one I got from this group of people they want me to subscribe to their paper but I am not going to give them a nickel. It is a marvelous article, friends, on the fact that the devil accused God of having a hedge around Job. You would think an Adventist wrote this. Because it says, "This nation (The United States) has had the hedge of God around it." Is that not what the Spirit of Prophecy says?

But it says, "With homosexuality and rock music and pornography and TELEVISION and all of this stuff that is going on in this country, God is removing the hedge around this country." Is that not what the Spirit of Prophecy says? I wonder if this man has not read it? And he is making a great call for America to repent and accept God. And turn away from all of these things before the judgments of God fall on this country. You agree with him do you not?

Is that what the Bible prophesies what is going to happen? What does the Bible say about the two-horned beast? It repented and God kept on helping it? It turned to God? You better believe your Bible, friends, and not be deceived by what the devil is doing. Because the devil is going to try and convince you that this country is turning to God with a great revival movement. And this great revival movement then is going to be the very means of putting the devil in power in this country. The people are going to proclaim it as God’s movement.

And you are going to be speaking against it and calling it the image to the beast. What do you think is going to happen to you? Just plain persecution. Now if anybody tries to tell you that the United States of America has turned to God, just because they put "In God We Trust" on the back of their money, I ask you whose symbols are there on either side of the god that they trust in? The devil’s symbols, friends.

And the very money in this country, friends, proves that Revelation 18 is true. That Babylon has fallen and become the habitation of devils. Because they say "In God We Trust" and then they have the devil’s symbol right over here on this side. And that identifies the god in which they trust. I did not think they would be that stupid. I did not think they would be that stupid, friends.

They have a symbolized tower of Babel there with a third eye of the mind, the eye of enlightenment, which is supposed to enlighten you to get you on to the next sphere of existence. And that is exactly what that means, friends and that is what the tower of Babel is all about.

Man by the enlightenment of the intellect, and education and development, and better society and all of this socialism stuff that is going on around here and all this improve-the-environment stuff. It is always based on this right here, friends, and that is not God’s symbol. That is the devil’s and it goes clear back to Cain before the flood, if you want to trace it down through history. In God We Trust, friends, the god that the Bible says is the god of Babylon. Fallen Babylon. So that you will not forget, what is it? "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of (Whom?) devils." You better believe it, friends. And if you do not believe that you are going to be deceived. As many Adventists have already been, and they are now, like this man told us. One of the largest groups contributing to all of these things that Babylon is using, and urging, and pushing to make them look good is Seventh-day Adventists.

I could bring you stacks of material. I have a paper at home it is devoted to the seventh commandment, friends. It is an excellent paper on the seventh commandment. It holds the standard higher than the Seventh-day Adventist church holds it. It is stricter than the Seventh-day Adventist church. It is exactly the same thing that the Hari Krishna and other pagan religions teach. It says that you can overcome. Do you know what one conference man told me? He said the greatest sin of the Adventist ministry is adultery.

You may believe that or not. My father, when he was Union Conference President in the Pacific Union Conference, told me, he said, Son, I could spend most of every week sitting in on the trial of some minister or church school teacher who had been taken in adultery in my Union Conference.

And along comes this paper published by the Illuminati and published by the devil as far as I am concerned holding up the seventh commandment and then there is a little paragraph, and I have mentioned this before, it says, You may achieve this through the serpent’s power. And that is in Italics. And then it says, Serpent power is what Adam and Eve learned in the Garden of Eden. That is right! Who was that, friends? Who was it that was in the Garden of Eden like a serpent? Satan.

Now, friends, does that tell you anything about the devil and what he is trying to do to deceive the world today? He is going to help you be a morally clean person. He is going to help you overcome. He is going to help you repent. He is going to help you live a fine, good life. He is going to help you live health reform. He is going to help you live dress reform. He is going to help you overcome dope and overeating and drinking and watching television and rock music and all the rest.

This is the hour of temptation that shall come upon all the world. And God promises to keep you from it, if you are in the right condition. And you have to study the seven churches and find out what kind of a person you have to be if you are going to be kept in this hour of temptation that shall come upon all the world. Friends, the whole world is going to wonder after the beast, and the beast gets his power from whom? The dragon and who is the dragon? Satan.

Take your Bible down and read it! And believe it! And study it! And apply it! Because if you do not, you are going to be like the Adventist ministers, there are hundreds of them, friends, that are being sucked into this movement of the devil’s straight from Babylon and hundreds of Seventh-day Adventist Church members are being dragged into this image to the beast.

My friends, in Selected Messages Sister White says that she saw that the great test for God’s people upon which their eternal destiny will be determined is the image to the beast, and you are facing it right now. It is false revivalism. It is false reformation. It is false conversion. It is false religion—straight from the devil. You see, if the devil went out and he had these people cannibals, you would not listen to them, would you?

And if they were going out and offering sacrifices and incantations and all of this kind of stuff that we associate with devil worship in the pagan countries, you would not listen to them. So he has dressed it all up and did exactly what the apostle Paul warned us that he was gong to do. Let us take a look. 2 Corinthians 11:13, 14. "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ." Remember that, friends. Such are what? "False apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel." Listen, friends, and you had better believe this part. "And no marvel; for Satan himself (Who? Am I reading it right?) Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

And you are living in that day and age. When Satan has transformed himself into an angel of light and his agents, friends, are going out, deceitful workers, false apostles, transformed into apostles for whom? For Christ. How are you gong to tell the difference? To the law and to the testimony…. My friends, we as Seventh-day Adventists should know it. Now, I do not know about the rising generation of Seventh-day Adventists, because I have a few questions about what they have been taught and what they have not been taught.

I do not know about new converts. But you know, friends, when I was young, they drilled into me over and over and over and over and over again, you can tell the devil’s side by which day they keep. Right? And you can tell God’s side by which day they keep. Right? Somebody says, Not always. Well, friends, if you cannot always tell them, then we are in a hopeless mess. The devil will not keep Sabbath. Russia does not keep Sabbath. Russia has Sunday as the legal holiday. I have an article in my file at home. Communist China has Sunday as the legal holiday, friends.

The only place where Sabbath is the legal day is in Israel that I know of. Catholic Churches have had mass on Saturday for hundreds of years and Thursday and Wednesday and Tuesday. But they teach that Sunday is the Sabbath. I have that article, too, in my file. Really, friends, I was told that God’s side is the Sabbath and the Devil’s side is Sunday. That is what I was taught.

And nobody has been able to change my mind since. They have tried. And, friends, I think it is going to come down to the point where you are going to have to, in blind faith say, If they keep Sunday, I do not care what else they are doing it is not the right group.

Now, I know the devil pulled a trick on me one time. He sent some people to me who claimed to have visions. And I thought, Oh, well, I will just settle it on the Sabbath-Sunday question. But in this group he was promoting Sabbath keeping. They were Seventh-day Adventists. These people received instructions on studying the Spirit of Prophecy and the Bible. Can this be?

Here are some of the outlines. I keep them to remind me. The devil is not above being that sneaky, friends, as to quote the Spirit of Prophecy to good old Seventh-day Adventists to try and deceive us. I will not tell you more of the story, but you had better watch, friends, and you had better be sure of one thing that you believe that Babylon is fallen and is become the habitation of devils, foul spirits and unclean and hateful birds.

You had better have that indelibly settled in your mind. Otherwise you are going to wander around, Well, he is doing such a wonderful work, he must be all right. Look at all these people and all these dope addicts that have stopped taking dope and look at all these drunkards that are now sober. Look at all these broken homes that he has brought back together. Look at all these people that were gluttons that he has got their appetites under control. Look at all these people that were homosexuals and he has got them straightened out. And he has done all of these marvelous and wonderful things, friends, that is the deception that if possible will deceive the very elect. And has been deceiving Seventh-day Adventists.

And it is a tragedy, friends. And you had better have the Sabbath-Sunday issue settled clearly in your minds, friends. Do not go around to the devil’s camp looking for some light and some help. But that is what this speaker told us. He said there is a great movement of repentance and confession even among ministers going on among the evangelicals. And we had better get interested and pay some attention. That is what he told those people, friends, those Seventh-day Adventists. And they sat there and they do not know any better. And I would not if I had not read this. I would not have known what he was talking about. And that man, friends, will bring that movement into the Seventh-day Adventist church. Because he and a friend of his that got the spirit have been going around ever since that. That was back 1962.

They have been holding meetings in their office and in their homes where they get Adventists together and then they have prayer and then they lay hands on them and these Adventist jabber in tongues. It is a tragedy. We tried to find out how many of ministers have gone to Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship International and gotten the spirit. You may say I associate with bad people. Well it was Brinsmead and he was interested. I said let us find out

This was before Brinsmead decided to be a Sunday promoter and go on the devil’s side, friends. So we called up and we wrote and they we will not tell you the names because we understand they would be in trouble in their church. Then we tried to find out if there were very many. And at that time, friends, which was about 1963 or 1964, the man told us that there were more than one hundred Seventh-day Adventist ministers that had been to the meetings and gotten the spirit.

I know that in Spokane, Washington, all the ministers in the area went to the Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship International meeting and stayed through the meeting. Only one of them left. He said, I saw the other ministers from the Spokane area in Washington State there in the meeting and they all stayed. That was the early sixties. We have had for a long time, friends, many ministers that have had the spirit of Pentecostalism and who have jabbered in tongues, teaching and preaching. And that is why the church is in such a state of confusion and lukewarmness and so undecided in what they believe that they will chase after Ford and anybody else who comes around with some crazy idea.

Now I would like to turn to the chapter in Great Controversy on "Modern Revivals." How long since you read it? Page 461 and I want you to pay careful attention to what it says. I am not going to read the first part of the chapter. It describes a genuine revival and its effects. On page 463 I find this paragraph: "Many of the revivals of modern times have presented a marked contrast to those manifestations of divine grace which in earlier days followed the labors of God’s servants. It is true that a widespread interest is kindled, many profess conversion, and there are large accessions to the churches; nevertheless the results are not such as to warrant the belief that there has been a corresponding increase of real spiritual life. The light which flames up for a time, soon dies out, leaving the darkness more dense than before."

But now the next paragraph is more important. "Popular revivals are too often carried by a appeals to the imagination, by exciting the emotions (And this one you folks better listen and take to heart, a lot of you.), by gratifying the love for what is new and startling." Now we have had right in this room, friends, from the pastor at Silver Lake, presentations of the new and startling. I was almost ready to rend my clothes and put sackcloth on when I saw some of you people (Some of you were not here. Some of you were.) running after the new and startling.

You are going to have a lot more if it were presented in meetings such as this. The new and the startling. New theories new, I tell you I am just being inundated with new interpretations of Daniel 11. New interpretations of the Trumpets, new interpretations of this and new interpretations of that and you name it, friends. New, new, new, and all the new and startling stuff. What does Sister White say that that is the characteristic of? "False Revivals," remember that. And if the devil can keep you running after the new and the startling you will never get down to the Ten Commandments and the law of God and the basic principles that are going to get you ready for heaven.

Friends, you do not need anything new and startling. What did I read to you? In 1903 when Kellogg was starting to bring in some new and startling pantheism? Most of the Seventh-day Adventists thought it was wonderful new light. I will tell you, friends, Sister White said there were only two preachers that opened their mouth against it before she did. Their names were Butler, that is G. I. Butler the bad guy in 1888, friends. He was a good guy at the turn of the century because he spoke out against pantheism. Haskell who was his sidekick, being a bad guy in 1888, and they had been banished to Appalachia.

They had been General Conference president and vice-president. One time Haskell was president of the California conference, New England conference, and I think of the Iowa conference, head of the Tract Society, on the General Conference Committee and on all the institutional boards in the United States. That is when a few men were running everything. I will tell you, when a man can be president of a conference in California and New England at the same time and cover a, cover a conference in between. I found that in his biography. And they are saying, My what a marvelous administrator he was to handle three conference presidencies at once.

No, friends, when that new and startling pantheism was coming into this church and the people were all enthused and wrought up and thought it was something new and wonderful. This is what Sister White wrote. "We have, as had John, a message to bear of the things which we have seen and heard. God is not giving us a new message." Review and Herald January 19, 1905. No way, friends, just forget it. Now I am not saying there is no new light. There may be some new light on the same old message, but it is not going to be a new message.

We may understand the old truth more fully and deeply, but it is not going to be some new thing. "God is not giving us a new message. We are to proclaim the message that in 1843 and 1844 brought us out of the other churches." Ibid. And I will tell you, friends, if you read this, this good old Baptist was preaching to Baptists and he told them what was wrong with them. You would not believe it. No Adventist, if I were to preach to you like this, you probably would not invite me back. I tried it down in Australia and I made a lot of people very angry at me.

You see we love to have a preacher get up and tell how bad the church is and how bad the General Conference is but we do not want him to say how bad we are. Do we? In fact I already offended some tonight with what I have said. But really, friends, let us get our feet on the solid foundation, that immovable platform of truth that was laid down after the passing of the time in our great disappointment.

That is what Sister White says it is. And if you are on that platform you are in God’s church. And if you are in God’s church, you are going to go through to the kingdom. But if you get off that platform, you are not in God’s church. I do not care if your name is still on the books. No, it is a platform of truth, friends. The church is built on a platform of truth. And I have told you people this before and I have passed out the information and the documents. The organization is built on a Constitution and By-laws that can be amended at any General Conference Committee.

But the platform of truth the angel said, Woe to anyone that moves a block or a pin. It cannot be changed by man because the Seventh-day Adventist Church was founded by God on a solid immovable platform of truth. Unfortunately, too many Seventh-day Adventists do not know what the platform is. At this last General Conference, I should say the one before this last one, they voted a whole bunch of statements of belief that are not on the platform. They have nothing to do with the platform

Then they would not even spell out, friends, one of the most important parts of the platform, that is the two apartments of the heavenly sanctuary. They left that out in that statement of beliefs in 1980. So that group of people, friends, are no longer on God’s solid platform of truth. They have started moving blocks and pins and the angel says, Woe. But where are you? I dare say, friends, that some of us are wavering. And were not sure about some other basic principles, friends, and that is what Babylon is. And we are not really convinced it is possessed of the devil.

And all of these good works they are doing confuse us. We are going to be tested, friends. Do you want to know how severely you are going to be tested? I will read it to you. I would suggest that you read the whole article. The Review and Herald December 18, 1888. But "Satan came as an angel of light in the wilderness of temptation to deceive Christ." How did he come? If you read what Sister White says that he appeared to come very solicitous for Christ’s welfare. He is going to come the same way to you, friends.

"And he does not come to man in a hideous form, as he is sometimes represented, but as an angel of light. He will come personating Jesus Christ, working mighty miracles." Now I just named the miracles he is working, friends, The homosexual, the drunkard, the dope addict, the glutton, and the person with a bad temper that cannot get along with his wife. He is working miracles and curing these people. He is also healing the sick and casting out devils.

Oh, friends, I do not know how I am going to get you people to the point that you are not going to be deceived by this stuff. Because I have seen too many of you chasing after it already. "He will come personating Jesus Christ, working mighty miracles." That is what he is doing right now, friends. That is what this pamphlet I read you is all about. This great revival, preachers are going to confess their sins. And then they are going to say, Now he has cleaned it all up. And then he is going to come with even more power through these supposedly repentant preachers.

"And men will fall down and worship him as Jesus Christ." What did I read you in that account, this prediction? "Men will cry out with confessions of adultery, sexual sins, hidden sins of all kinds. I see hundreds of ministers and their wives with their hands (What? do you know that is a pagan action, friends?) common to all the things when they appeal to the devil, come in." You need to know some things, friends. This man, if you read this here and you know, and you believe, and you have read the Spirit of Prophecy and the Bible you know this man is in the wrong camp by his prediction.

"Hundreds of ministers and their wives with their hands raised crying out to God for cleansing and healing. They will be lying on the floor, in the corridors, they will be weeping in the restrooms, they will be hanging on the pews, they will be staggering and fall under the Holy Ghosts conviction." Friends, you are going to see that. And you are going to have Adventists doing it and they are going to turn back to the Present Truth in the two facsimiles of the two earliest productions the periodicals of Seventh-day Adventists and they are going to quote where this happened among the early Adventists. Did it? Yes.

Because the brethren have taken away from you the information that you need to know exactly what was going on back there. Because when they reprinted Life Sketches, they left out the whole section that makes it clear. The new book Life Sketches does not have any of this where James White and Ellen White met this and how they told the difference between those that were genuine and those that were false. I have the old book, friends. It is a lot thicker, friends, than the new one, and the whole first part is an accounting of their meeting this fanaticism in the early Adventist church. That is all left out of the new one that is sold at the Book and Bible House. They just left it out. The old one was printed in 1888.

We are living in dangerous times and we had better be concerned lest we be deceived. I have told you already that you had better believe that Babylon is fallen and that these other churches fell, and do not go looking for something good to come out of Babylon. Now you had better say, with a Sunday keeper is not where I am going to look for God. I am going to look for God where? Well at least it had better be a Sabbath keeper, friends. But you had better not depend upon anybody.

Now I am going to read you the rest of the paragraph. Here is what is ahead of you. "We shall be commanded to worship this being." Who? Who is going to command you to? Your neighbors, friends the people down the street. Maybe some of your fellow Seventh-day Adventist Church members. "We shall be commanded to worship this being, whom the world will glorify as Christ." Review and Herald, December 18, 1888. Now what are you going to do? Well they can say what they want but I am telling you this is the experience.

Now the question is what shall we do? Now remember you have a bunch of people around you and here is a devil standing in front of you and he has just given people the victory over all kinds of besetments, and he has just healed the sick, and he has just put families back together and he has done all of these marvelous and wonderful things. And they are going to say, Bow down and worship him.

The old Christians were told to put incense on pagan altars. The old Christians were told to bow down and worship an idol to save their lives. You are going to bow down and worship a devil. What shall we do is the question. Here is what she says you are to say and if you say it, I do not think you are going to get out of there alive. I will read it to you. "Tell them that Christ has warned us against just such a foe, who is man’s worst enemy." Ibid.

Now wait a minute, here he has done all of these marvelous things that we read about in these papers that I get. Thousands stopping drinking, thousands off the dope, thousands stopping gambling and all the rest. I have the papers at home, the magazines. And I am supposed to tell them that this being that helped them do all of these things is man’s worst foe. A lot of Seventh-day Adventists are not even sure that he is. "Yet who claims to be God; and that when Christ shall make His appearance, it will be with power and great glory, accompanied by ten thousand times ten thousand angels and thousands of thousands; and that when He shall com, we shall know His voice." Ibid.

Now that is what she says that you are supposed to tell them. You are supposed to tell them that this being who has helped them so much is man’s worst foe. He is a devil. Now I do not know how long in the future this is going to be, friends, do you? But I can tell you one thing right now there are many Seventh-day Adventists that are being deceived and are committing or coming close to committing the unpardonable sin.

Do you know what the unpardonable sin is? It is when you attribute the work of Satan to God and the work of God to the devil. That is what the Pharisees did when Christ warned them about the unpardonable sin. They said, You have a devil. And so therefore, they called Christ the devil and then later on they chose Barabbas, and Sister White says they chose the devil as their leader. If you get so confused that you see what the devil is doing, and you say, This is the marvelous working of God, Sister White says that once that you accept the devil as your god then there is no way the Holy Spirit can reach you because then any other voice but the devil’s, you consider to be the devil’s voice and therefore you have place yourself where God can no longer reach you

We are living in dangerous times right now. And the tragedy is, friends that there are Seventh-day Adventist that are attributing to the devil and claiming his work is of God. And that is a dangerous, dangerous thing. There may not be any hope for those people, friends. I hope there is and I hope, friends, I have seen some of them turn around, so I still say there is hope. But, friends, it is a serious, serious thing. Get your thinking straight; I am trying to warn you. Stick to the old message; do not go after these new things. Remember these Protestant revivals, these false ones, modern revivals, what is wrong with them? "Popular revivals are too often carried by appeals to the imagination, by exciting the emotions, by gratifying the love for what is new and startling." You do not need anything new and startling. "Converts thus gained have little desire to listen to Bible truth (They always want something new and startling), little interest in the testimony of prophets and apostles. Unless a religious service has something of a sensational character, it has no attraction for them. A message which appeals to unimpassioned reason awakens no response. The plain warnings of God’s word, relating directly to their eternal interests, are unheeded." Great Controversy, 463.

Well you can read the rest of the chapter and I think you had better really study. You had better start in on Great Controversy, and if you do not have time to read the whole thing start in with "Modern Revivals" and the next couple of chapters "The First Great Deception" and "Agency of Evil Spirits." You had better know about it. "The origin of Evil," you had better know it, "The Snares of Satan," Do you need to know the snares of Satan?

It is a complete road map; you do not need me to tell you. You need to get down your Great Controversy and you need to get down on your knees and you need to ask God to give you wisdom to understand the importance of the words that are in this book. Then you need to go through these chapters until you have memorized them. Take the chapter on "Spiritualism" memorize what she says the doctrines of spiritualism are. She says it will transform itself until it resembles Christianity. And then she tells you the doctrines that are going to be in them. I have them numbered in my Great Controversy. Right here, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine doctrines of spiritualism listed, friends.

If you do not know them you may accept some of them. Get this book down and turn to the "Aims of the Papacy," study it. God in His great love, friends, has given you more information than any other generation of people have ever possessed. He has given you the Spirit of Prophecy. He has instructed you folks more carefully, given you more detailed information to get you through the last days, so that you can be one of the one hundred and forty four thousand and go into the kingdom, than He has given to any other generation that has ever lived on the face of this earth.

And what do we do? We chase after newfangled ideas and we do not know what the book says, or we would not chase after them. Well Brother Nicolichi asked me to present some of these things. He has a set of cards here of quotations that are really good. And I would say here is one of the dangers that Adventists face as well as everybody else. "Has your obedience to man become (What?) rebellion against God." That was not written to Methodists, Baptists or Catholics, friends. That was written by Ellen G. White to the Seventh-day Adventist church. "Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith: prove your own selves." Series B, No. 2, 17. If you would like some of these, he says he has some. I do not know whether everybody can have a set or not.

I urge you to get these and study for yourself. Do not depend on somebody else to pick this stuff for you. You know one of the most encouraging things that has happened to me, probably in the last six months, is a letter I received from New Zealand. "After that you were down here we decided we better study our Bible. And so we got a group together and we meet every Thursday night and study our Bibles and study the Spirit of Prophecy. We did not realize how little we knew" And then it goes on down, "we talked to somebody else and we have another group meeting on Wednesday night and we are going to get other groups started."

Friends, when that begins to happen there is some hope for God’s people but as long as you will not study for yourselves, there is no hope for you. I do not care what kind of meetings you go to or who you listen to. You had better get your Bible down and study for yourself. And you had better do a lot of praying because we are in the last days. We are in the last days, friends. A lot of you are looking for the time of trouble yet. And that was a big problem for me for many years.

Just to show you how blinded we are and how insensible to where we are, actually are in the time, I read the statements at the turn of the century by Ellen G. White. We will soon be in the time of trouble. The time of trouble is right upon us. "Get ready, get ready, get ready." See Early Writings, 64, 67, 120. Manuscript Releases, vol. 8, 222; vol. 15, 211; vol. 16, 33. Review and Herald, October 31, 1893. Her statements are urgent, friends. I urge you to get ready the time of trouble will soon be upon us. See Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies, 352 (Spalding Magan, 351). I read those statements fifty years after she wrote them. And I scratched my head and I said, We are not in the time of trouble yet, she sure goofed.

She said, "Soon, very soon" that we would be in the time of trouble. See Manuscript Releases vol. 1, 260; vol. 18, 236; Review and Herald November 23, 1905; Review and Herald, February 15, 1912. And she wrote that in 1905, some of it in 1903. I said, Sister White, I wonder what happened, I guess God did not know what He was talking about. And for a little while my faith wavered. And then I got a book by Elder Spicer on the Spirit of Prophecy and its relationship to the Seventh-day Adventist church. I realized that Sister White was one hundred percent correct. The time of trouble did begin right after she wrote those statements

It has never let up since. The only trouble is you people live in America and God has a hedge around this country. World War I did not touch you. World War II did not touch you. How many bombs were dropped on this country? How much famine and pestilence do we have? How much starvation did we have? And because you are in a land that God has favored and protected, you do not know what the rest of the world has gone through.

And Spicer said, "We made a mistake in applying these statements to the end little realizing that World War I was the fulfillment of these words. "Soon, very soon," the time of trouble will be upon us. I have spent my whole life in the time of trouble, friends and most Seventh-day Adventists are looking way off in the future for it. If you were in South Africa today, you would think you were in the time of trouble, or in a lot of places in South America. If you were in Romania trying to be a true and loyal Seventh-day Adventist, you would think you were in the time of trouble.

If you were really the kind of Adventist you are supposed to be, you would know you were the time of trouble, if you would really get out and give the warning. Let us wake up. World War I was the beginning of the time of trouble according to the Spirit of Prophecy. Get these green books down and read them. Read what her warning, "Soon, very soon," the time of trouble will be on us. Thousands of ships will go down. Millions of people will perish. See Review and Herald, April 21, 1890. Famine and pestilence and sword will be throughout the world. See Maranatha, 243.

That is what she said, and soon will be the time of trouble. That is exactly what happened, friends. Spicer documents it in his little book, he says, "twenty million people died." That is the time of trouble, friends. There were not nearly as many people in the world at that time as there are tonight. I can remember when I was a child, they had a famine in China and they said that about forty million starved to death.

The time of trouble? If you had been in China, yes. If you were over there in Ethiopia now, you have seen the pictures on television have you not? Well you had better take a look, friends. That is one good thing about television, you would know what the time of trouble is like. When people cannot find even weeds to eat, and they are slowly starving to death. You would think you were in the time of trouble.

Friends, the time of trouble has been here but because the United States has not yet fully cut itself off from God, we still live in a favored nation. We still have plenty to eat. Now, friends, do not look for the time of trouble in the future, the time of this trouble, this little time of trouble, is about over. Soon they are going to have the time of trouble such as never was. And that is the time when God’s judgments are going to be poured out on this whole world. And nature is going to be out of its course. And you are not going to have enough to eat in America. Fire is going to burn up California, You know it is dry in the summer time. There will be earthquakes and floods and storms.

Let us get ready. Let us not be deceived into thinking the time of trouble is all in the future. It is almost over with. I could go into a lot of other things, friends, but take these books down and read them, and think and study. You will find some problems; maybe it will shake your faith like it did mine. When I read what Sister White said in 1903, 1904 and 1905, soon the time of trouble is going to start, it shook my faith.

At that time I was such a Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist I did not know there was any time of trouble. You know America is a good place to live. Then it dawned on me, World Wars I and II, friends were times of trouble. I can remember as a child, we heard that the Japanese were invading China. They took over Manchuria and they went on and started taking over. They had Korea, they were building an empire over there. You know I cannot remember a time in my life that there was not a war raging somewhere and some people were not in a terrible time of trouble.

I can remember when five million Russians died of starvation. And they sent Herbert Hoover over there with a big package of Lend Lease, or whatever you want to call it, to save the communist regime of Russia. And he went over there and Stalin had killed the farmers off because they would not collectivize. So they did not have anything to eat. And the United States bailed Russia out of that fatal mistake. They should have let them go down in ruin. They would have.

Friends, there has been a time of trouble ever since that. You can bank on Ellen G. White, friends. The only trouble is our eyes are blinded, and our ears are stuffed, and we do not read, we do not study, and we do not think. I will tell you, there is nothing worse than having the wrong thing and looking for the wrong event to fulfill prophecy. And then it is fulfilled right under you nose and you are looking for something else and do not know it. I can tell you some areas we had better get into and we had better dig, and we better get them straightened out or we will be looking for the king of the north where there is no king of the north.

And we will be looking for the fulfillment of prophecies in the wrong way. And they will be fulfilled right under our noses. And we will be looking off in the future just like the General Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church they cannot see any image to the beast anywhere, friends, and they have been in bed with them for the last twenty years. And that is because they do not know what to look for, and refuse to believe what is in these books.

When the image of the beast came out and offered them the right hand of fellowship, they grabbed it and this speaker over at South Lake Tahoe camp meeting said that he was proud of his part that he played in the Barnhouse and Martin episode. And yet in these books right here, friends, Sister White states that the National Reform Movement was a fulfillment of the prophecies on the image to the beast. If you want me to read that to you, I will find it afterwards. We had better close this meeting.

But, friends you look for the wrong thing and the prophecy will be fulfilled and you are still looking over there and the devil will crawl right in bed with you. And you will welcome him as the great benefactor of mankind. That is what Sister White says, the world will consider him the great benefactor of mankind. And today, friends that is exactly what is happening worldwide. We are considering the devil our great benefactor because of all the wonderful things he is doing for us.

All Laodicean Adventist are nominal Adventists. They are genuine, friends, they are going to be thrown out of God. God cannot accept the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist. They are nominal Adventists. Now the thing about preaching the Sabbath more fully, what enrages these nominal Adventists is that when we go out and we preach the Sabbath and genuine Sabbath keeping and strict Sabbath keeping these Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist become enraged at us because by so doing we show that they are nominal Adventists.

That is not talking about World War I. that is talking about the commencement of this time of trouble that is the judgments of God on the earth. The great time of trouble, the little time of trouble before. When the Sunday-law is passed, well that is another topic and it would take a long time.

I will briefly summarize it without references. When the Sunday-law is passed, this is the signal that what has happened? The signal of a lot of things is it not? The angel of mercy is about to leave. In other words probation is about to close. Then comes the time of God’s destructive judgments in Testimonies vol. 9, 92 or 93 somewhere along in there. It is the time of mercy for those who have not yet heard while the door is, what? Closed to those who have heard and would not enter.

Sister White says in another place that when the Sunday-law is passed if we have built compromise into our character we will find it an easy matter to compromise on the Sunday-law. If we have not built compromise, then we will stand. Friends, that Sunday-law is the big signal. In another place she says that the Sunday-law is the last act in the drama that man has anything to do with. From that moment God’s time clock goes in and there will be no delay.

And when that Sunday-law comes, we can go out with the midnight cry in power and say, "Behold, the bridegroom cometh" because we know that Christ is not any longer going to delay. And we go out and we preach the loud cry and we preach the Sabbath more fully. This enrages all these nominal Adventists and enrages the popular churches because we start preaching like we are supposed to. We tell them that Babylon is fallen in the devil. We tell them that these miracles that are going on are of the devil.

We go out and we tell them, friends, we warn them about the beast and the image to the beast. We do it with power and it enrages them. And then we hold up the Sabbath as God’s banner in opposition to those who are doing all these mighty works holding up the devil’s banner of Sunday, friends. We make it plain. No, Sunday Law is not past now. Get the literature into their hands Sister White says that they will pull it off the shelf and read it.

Get the literature in their hands then send The Great Controversy out. We just, what, how many did we send down to Australia. We just sent a thousand down to Australia. Two young men want to pass out The Great Controversy in Melbourne. My friends, we are going to supply them with The Great Controversy. I think we ought to. I had a young man helping me copy a document. I intended to have it finished and bring some down to you, folks. One you have never read.

There used to be (Sunday laws) but some of them were repealed in the early seventies when they found out that they were so archaic that they were unenforceable. I do not believe that there is one in the state of Nevada, Washington repealed theirs, and I have not heard that they have passed a new one. Several other states have done that. But you see, the point is, it is the national Sunday law, friends. When that national Sunday law goes in, if you are ready, you are ready. If you are not ready as a Seventh-day Adventist, it is too late. It is not a state Sunday law.

That is the important thing, friends. Then we know like in Last Day Events, she says that they are going to happen in rapid succession. And I do not know, I had better stop before I get into some other things. (More comments from the audience) I thought about something else, so I do not remember.

If you cannot get it going, get somebody else to get it going. But let us do something, friends, to fulfill our stewardship that God has given us here. He has given us the truth. He has given us the final warning and we had better do it otherwise we are going to be unfaithful servants, if we do not. And forget your position in the church and the community and any place else and go out and do God’s work and worry about your position with God, friends, and not with man.

Oh, yes. Well, again, Brinsmead and I discussed some things and I said, Brinsmead, quit wasting all your time just preaching to Seventh-day Adventists, put something together to warn them just what I have been talking about, the beast, the image to the beast, last day events, something for the public. So he put together a book with Doctor ___________, you remember. I should have brought it. I was not even going to mention it, or I would have.

But anyway, he put this book together and they passed it out in Australia, and immediately the Roman Catholics and the other clergy rose up in opposition. In this little book here it makes the comment that this book was printed by the General Conference. I am quoting from the General Conference Defense Literature Committee. There were some errors in the Brinsmead movement (***bad spot on tape***) This is a book, what is it? Twenty copies that you ran off? Well, I am going to pass them out. If you want one, write me a letter, but remember, I have only twenty. First come, first served, right?

But really, friends, (It is about sixty or seventy pages) But anyway, friends, you will be a little shocked at some of the things that are in there, because this book covers the Brinsmead error, Wieland and Short in their 1888 manuscript. It covers Andreason and his letters to the churches, it covers the question of church manual, it covers steps to church organization, and it covers A. T. Jones. I quoted some at all time because it says you cannot separate A. T. Jones’ theology from his views on organization you cannot separate them. It covers all these things extremely informed his books.

Well, let us close this meeting and go home and study, study and study until you are convinced so that you will not be deceived and dragged off with all of this evil of lights that the devil is going to send out here. Because they are already here, friends, and they are performing marvelous miracles of conversions and transformation of light. And do not be deceived. Remember, friends, the seal of God is what? The Sabbath. The mark of the beast is what? Now anybody that has that mark is a got his thunders.

Let us get these things clear in our minds, friends. He is waving the banner of Sunday sacredness, friends, you have got the mark of the beast or you have got the seal of God. And I do not care what marvelous works he is doing. You have to come to the point where you see that and you believe that or you are going to be deceived. And that is a pretty harsh judgment and people are going to think you are unchristian, and un-understanding, and are unkind and they are going to call you all such things.

And they are going to torture you and they are going to urge you to drop this prejudice against Sunday and Sunday keepers, the mark of the beast. Friends, I do not know, if you cannot get that clear in your minds, I do not know what you are going to do. I am speaking about the spirit and power that is present in these other churches. And the spirit and power that is present in the other churches is the devil. And do not be deceived, friends, the Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship International.

I will tell you, I have got a ten years stack of their papers because my aunt was mixed up in it and she sent me ten years of the Voice Magazine. And in that Voice Magazine it says that the spirit fell in their meeting. And then they spoke in an unknown tongue and then they interpreted and the message they got was that anyone who does not believe in the immortality of the soul, is of the devil. Now what spirit fell? That was the first lie in the Garden of Eden was it not? That ye shall not surely die. Read the chapter in Great Controversy. That is right. Get this book down and memorize it, friends. Throw the newspaper out, throw the Time Magazine out, throw everything out until you know what The Great Controversy says. Because in here the first great deception was that you do not die when you die. And the spirit that falls in the Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship International says that if you do not believe that, you are of the devil. Anybody, it says, that does not believe in the immortality of the soul.

Then it went on to name the Jehovah’s Witnesses. I am surprised that it did not name Seventh-day Adventists. And it names Jehovah’s Witnesses and says that because of this, they are all of the devil because they do not believe in the immortality of the soul. Now that is the spirit, friends, that is in the Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship International and that is the spirit that fell on one hundred Seventh-day Adventist ministers in the sixties. That is the spirit that this speaker that spoke at the South Lake Tahoe camp meeting in August got when he went to the Full Gospel Businessmen Fellowship International meeting in Seattle in 1962. And that spirit, friends, says that the immortality of the soul is cursed and if you say that they are not immortal, you are of the devil.

Now that ought to be clear enough to you. You have got to get these things straight or you are going to get so confused in this, misled and deceived, you are going to be lost. I do not know how to impress it on your minds. But get these things in your head. And then move them as measuring rods to the law and to the testimony, if they speak not according to this word, how much light is there in it? There is no light in them. Well then if they teach Sunday and the immortality of the soul, how much light is there in them? No matter what kind of miracles they are working and helping people.

Friends, let us believe these things, because if you do not believe these things, you have no anchor, you have no measuring rod. You have nothing. And they will take the easy way to hell.

Shall we kneel and we will have our closing prayer.
