Day 14: Six Events Since 1990 Before Sunday Law (Part 6 of 6) – Threefold Union (Rev. 16:13)

·         The only event remaining unfulfilled before the Sunday law is “the threefold union”. The book of Revelation calls it ‘three unclean spirits’. It says “And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon (representing Satan and spiritualism), and out of the mouth of the beast (Papacy), and out of the mouth of the false prophet (Protestantism)”.  Revelation 16:13

·         “Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul (the foundation of Spiritualism) and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his deceptions. ... The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience”.-- {GC88 588.1}.

·         “When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country (America) shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near”.--5T 451 (1885).  {LDE 131.4}

·         “The Scriptures teach that popery is to regain its lost supremacy (See Rev 13:3,12), and that the fires of persecution will be rekindled through the time-serving concessions of the so-called Protestant world. In this time of peril we can stand only as we have the truth and the power of God. . . . The prospect of being brought into personal danger and distress, need not cause despondency, but should quicken the vigor and hopes of God's people; for the time of their peril is the season for God to grant them clearer manifestations of his power”.  {Mar 194.5}

·         “Are we to wait until the fulfillment of the prophecies of the end before we say anything concerning them? Of what value will our words be then? Shall we wait until God's judgments fall upon the transgressor before we tell him how to avoid them? Where is our faith in the word of God? Must we see things foretold come to pass before we will believe what He has said? In clear, distinct rays light has come to us, showing us that the great day of the Lord is near at hand, "even at the doors." Let us read and understand before it is too late”.  {9T 20.1}

The great storm is coming. Oh if we knew the time! – Luke 19:41 – 44

Now is the time, let’s repent, believe the gospel and be ready.

Day 13: Six Events Since 1990 Before Sunday Law (Part 5 of 6)

Distress of Nations, with Perplexity

·         Just before the second coming of Jesus, there will be  “upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity” Luke 21: 25-27

·         The word perplexity can be defined as (1) to be in a strait (2) without financial resources (3) and to have no way out. This is popularly known as economic crisis.

·         In 2008 we witnessed the beginning of the economic crisis all over the world. Although Satan, through politicians, is trying to deceive many that the economy is recovering, the word of God is true and can be trusted. The world and especially America will be in a deep economic crisis just before the Sunday law than what it had in 1929. The bible says “For when they shall say, Peace (the first beast) and safety (the second beast); then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1Thes 5:3 (Emphasis supplied). Read also Luke 21:25 -27

·         According to the TIME magazine, (2008) America is in the “midst of the worst economic challenge in 80 years”.

·         Thus “... we may be assured that all which is yet to come will be fulfilled in its order. {Education (Ed) pp. 178.3}

·         The Sunday law will be demanded to restore financial (temporal prosperity).

·         “... It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday-sabbath, that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced, and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. Thus the accusation urged of old against the servant of God will be repeated, and upon grounds equally well established. "And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim." [1 KINGS 18:17, 18.] As the wrath of the people shall be excited by false charges, they will pursue a course toward God's ambassadors very similar to that which apostate Israel pursued toward Elijah”. {GC88 590.1}

·         Through its gold reserves, the first beast of Rev 13 will rescue America. Remember, “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower [is] servant to the lender.” (Prov 22:7). Then there shall be no buying or selling unless you have mark of the first beast (Rev 13: 16,17)

·         James says, when you see these things you should be “... patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.  Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

The great storm is coming. Oh if we knew the time! – Luke 19:41 – 44

Now is the time, let’s repent, believe the gospel and be ready.
