The storm is here

“A storm is coming, relentless in its fury. Are we prepared to meet it?” 8T 298

To whom it may concern: It’s been so long since I posted anything on my blog. So probably nobody will read this.

But I’ve been hearing that a famine is on the way. Our government has ordered American farmers to destroy their fatted cattle and chickens, dump their milk tankers, plow under their fields of beautiful vegetables. And in the place of a domestic food supply our government is contracting with foreign countries for their food supply. It’s the perfect setup for famine due to the high probability that war could interrupt the foreign supply. Does this sound like the first time of trouble? Testimonies for the church, vol. 8 has this to say:

“We have no time to lose. We know not how soon our probation

may close. Eternity stretches before us. The curtain is about to be

lifted. Christ is soon to come. The angels of God are seeking to

attract us from ourselves and from earthly things. Let them not labor

in vain….

A storm is coming, relentless in its fury. Are we prepared to

meet it?

We need not say: The perils of the last days are soon to come

upon us. Already they have come. We need now the sword of the

Lord to cut to the very soul and marrow of fleshly lusts, appetites,

and passions.

Minds that have been given up to loose thought need to change….” 8T 298 (315)

So, actually, the storm has arrived! The leading edge of the hurricane has already come!

Brothers and sisters I’m here to speak the unheard of. That is, a part of the secret rapture scenario is correct! Yes, it really is. It’s the part that says there will be a second chance. But the second chance comes now, not later when the psy-op Antichrist shows up after the psy-op secret rapture fraud to finish the psy-op seven year tribulation.

Who is ready to stand when Jesus comes in power and glory? Who out there is ready? (Nobody? All I hear are crickets!) Come on, all you confident Seventh-day Adventists! Which one of you is ready for the second advent of Jesus? Don’t all speak up at once! Where did all you paper giants go? 

None of us is ready to stand when Jesus comes in power?! (To let you know, I am an Adventist.) Yes. We are like the Millerites who thought they could live through the day of Christ’s return.

Why didn’t Jesus return in 1844? “The people were not yet ready to meet their Lord. There was still a work of preparation to be accomplished for them. Light was to be given, directing their minds to the temple of God in heaven; and as they should by faith follow their High Priest in His ministration there, new duties would be revealed. Another message of warning and instruction was to be given to the church The Great Controversy, p. 424.

“The people were not yet ready to meet their Lord”? What? They were the generation who sprung from first generation living in the new land of promise—the brand new United States of the Protestant American Republic! How could they not be the special group? Today’s Protestant Americans are much more corrupted than that more worthy generation. Yet the ‘44 generation were not prepared for the winds that the four angels were holding back. What about us? Are we prepared?? Are we holy enough? The Millerites didn’t know that so much havoc was about to converge on them. Neither do we know it. In mercy Jesus delayed the big 1844 event. A period of time was given for the investigative judgment to begin then, and the sealing.  The sealing began in 1844. The sealing has been the preparation for the Latter Rain, the end of probation, and Christ coming on a cloud at the right hand of Power.

Are you sealed, brother? Are you sealed, sister? That’s the question of the hour because that’s the preparation for Christ’s return. How far along are we in our sealing? How are we doing at overcoming and obtaining the victory through the restful comfort of God’s reconciled Spirit? Are all of our appetites under the perfect control of the Spirit of Christ? And our passions? How is the victory over our deficiencies and deformities?

Not too good? Then you need a second chance.

Then we all need a second chance! And Revelation 11:7-14 shows a second chance to be given. Alleluia!! Amen!! How do we interpret Revelation 11? What is its context? Chapter 11 tells a story similar to Revelation 12. The two visions parallel each other. I know our denomination has interpreted Revelation chapter 11 to showcase the French Revolution. But Revelation 11 amplifies the verse that every Adventist has memorized: “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed….” (Rev. 12:17). That war against the Protestant church is what Revelation 11 shows occurring when the beast ascends out of the bottomless pit in Revelation 11:7. That ascension from the bottomless pit was also portrayed in the fifth of seven trumpets that reveals the battle against Christ’s sealing in His children during the last of the seven seals. Pealing each of the previous six seals, which gave Him the authority to open the book of accusations brought against His Father by Lucifer, showed a phase of the war against our redemption by Christ. Now in the seventh seal the seven trumpets period create the great finale in the war against Christ’s ministration before God. The grand finale of the great controversy war now forms the investigative judgment, the great cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary exclusively during the seventh seal since 1844. And the seven trumpets, particularly the 5^th and 6^th trumpets symbolize that sealing in their forehead and pre-Advent judgment period. Thus, Revelation 11:7-14 also sheds light on the seventh seal events.

Until 1798 the Revelation 11 witnesses are indomitable, even after the earth swallows up the flood of Jesuit persecution that the Serpent cast out of his mouth. Putting the two Revelation scenarios together, the Revelation 12 dragon sends the Counter Reformation flood of persecution against the church in the wilderness to exterminate it

. But, the “earth” opened its mouth and swallowed the flood when North America was providentially opened up to receive the beleaguered Protestant Pilgrims. At that point Protestant America was conceived. In 1794 Constitutional America was born as a Republic and deeply rooted in the biblical religion of Protestantism.

But, something went awry. The Protestants became enamored with the new land, the new freedom, the new prosperity, the new separation from the Vatican and her ferocious and feared army of Jesuits. We left the God of the Bible, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the only true God. Like the children of Israel, we looked at all the land and promptly forgot the God who delivered us from papal captivity and its oppression.

So, “The people were not yet ready to meet their Lord. There was still a work of preparation to be accomplished for them. Light was to be given, directing their minds to the temple of God in heaven; and as they should by faith follow their High Priest in His ministration there, new duties would be revealed. Another message of warning and instruction was to be given to the church The Great Controversy, p. 424.”

The people of God still need the same light from heaven. And we have it in the Spirit of Prophecy library. Light has been given, directing our minds to the temple of God in heaven; and as we will by faith follow our High Priest in His ministration there, old duties would be revealed that we have resisted or dismissed altogether.

It’s time to get down to business. It’s time to face the music. This is our second chance. It’s time to get serious about the high standard, the straight testimony. It’s time to face the condemnation of God for our sinful unbelief and disobedience. We only get one second chance. Let’s not squander what our previous Adventist generations have squandered—the perfect replication of the character of Christ, through the faith of Christ. Before sealing faith came, we were kept under the Spirit of Prophecy condemnations and instructions, shut up unto the sealing faith that should afterwards be revealed. Therefore the Spirit of Prophecy condemnations and instructions have been our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ to be justified, sanctified, and sealed by faith.

A second chance is merciful.
