INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENTScene 5

REV. 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. Sidebar—that angel in verse 6 represents the Seventh-day Adventist Church taking this gospel to them that dwell upon the Earth; then Christ can come out of the Most Holy Place.

LATTER RAIN

The enemy is preparing for his LAST CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE CHURCH. He has so concealed himself from view that many can hardly believe that he exists, much less can they be convinced of his amazing activity and power. . . . {Mar 64.2} The substitution of the laws of men for the law of God, the exaltation, by merely human authority, of Sunday in place of the Bible Sabbath, is the LAST ACT IN THE DRAMA. {ChS 160.2}

REV 13:11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. (United States) 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should BE KILLED. 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 13:17 And that NO MAN MIGHT BUY OR SELL, SAVE HE THAT HAD THE MARK, OR THE NAME OF THE BEAST, OR THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME. 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.

The Prophet Speaks—When the LEADING churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result. {GC 445.1} The beast with two horns "causeth [commands] all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to RECEIVE A MARK IN THEIR RIGHT HAND, OR IN THEIR FOREHEADS: AND THAT NO MAN MIGHT BUY OR SELL, SAVE HE THAT HAD THE MARK, OR THE NAME OF THE BEAST, OR THE NUMBER OF HIS NAME." Revelation 13:16, 17. The third angel's warning is: "If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God." "The beast" mentioned in this message, whose worship is enforced by the two-horned beast, is the first, or leopardlike beast of Revelation 13 -- the papacy. The "image to the beast" represents that form of apostate Protestantism which will be developed when the Protestant churches shall seek the aid of the civil power for the enforcement of their dogmas.

Page 4: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

Sidebar—It is AMERICA that will give POWER to the IMAGE OF THE BEAST that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be KILLED. Rev 13: 15 This is the last act in the drama and we are approaching this event with exponential speed.

The Prophet Speaks— Satan will work his miracles to deceive; he will set up his power as

supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, BUT it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out--the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will be found with the LOYAL AND TRUE, without spot or stain of sin, without guile in their mouths.... The remnant that purify their souls by OBEYING the truth gather strength from the trying process, exhibiting the beauty of holiness amid the SURROUNDING APOSTASY. {Mar 203.2}

In the last vision given me, I was shown the STARTLING FACT THAT BUT A SMALL PORTION OF THOSE WHO NOW PROFESS THE TRUTH WILL BE SANCTIFIED BY IT AND BE SAVED. . . . The humble, self-sacrificing followers of Jesus will pass on to perfection, leaving behind the indifferent and lovers of the world. {1T 608.3}

Page 5: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

The Prophet Continues…The "time of trouble such as never was," is soon to open upon us; and we shall need an experience which we do not now possess, and which many are too indolent to obtain. It is often the case that TROUBLE IS GREATER IN ANTICIPATION THAN IN REALITY; BUT this is not true of the crisis before us. THE MOST VIVID PRESENTATION CANNOT REACH THE MAGNITUDE OF THE ORDEAL.--GC 621, 622 (1911). {LDE 254.3}

NOW, WE’RE GONNA LOOK AT HOW SATAN HAS GOTTEN ON THE INSIDE OF GOD’S CHURCH IN ORDER TO BRING ABOUT THE DEMISE OF GOD’S

PEOPLE! We have far more to fear from within than from without. The hindrances to strength and success are far greater from the church itself than from

the world. 1SM 122 (1887). {LDE 156.2}

Another counter-interpretation to the Historicism held by Protestantism was proposed by the Spanish Jesuit Luis De Alcazar (1554-1613), who also wrote a commentary called Investigation of the Hidden Sense of the Apocalypse, which ran to some 900 pages. In it, he proposed that all of Revelation applied to the era of pagan Rome and the first six centuries of Christianity. According to Alcazar (or Alcasar):

Page 8: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

HUGO GROTIUS

Due to resistance by Protestant

Historicists, the preterist view was

slow to gain acceptance outside the Roman Catholic

Church. Among Protestants, it was first accepted by Hugo Grotius, a

Dutch Protestant who was eager to

establish COMMON GROUND BETWEEN PROTESTANTS AND

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH !!

(SOUNDSLIKE

US, TO ME)!!Side Bar—Lui de Alcazar wrote the first systematic preterist exposition of prophecy during the COUNTER REFORMATION which was after Martin Luther had protested against the Roman Catholic Church; Luther and other Protestants had learned that the Man Of Sin/Anti-Christ in the Bible was/is the Pope/Papacy/Roman Catholic Church/Satan’s Church. So the Roman Catholic Church was counter-protesting in order to refute Luther’s and other protestants’ claims, aspiring to throw the spot light off of themselves.

Page 9: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

Historicism was the belief held by the majority of the Protestant Reformers including Martin Luther, John Calvin

, Thomas Cranmer, and others including John Thomas,John Knox, and Cotton Mather while the Catholic church

tried to counter it with alternative views such as those put forward by the Jesuit Luis de Alcasar during theCounter Reformation.[2][page needed].[3] This alternate view served to bolster the Catholic Church's position against attacks by

Protestants,[4][5] and is viewed as a Catholic defense against the Protestant Historicist view which identified the Roman Catholic Church as a persecuting apostasy and the

Pope with the Anti-Christ.[5]

N

Jonathan K. Paulien (born 1949) is a Seventh-day Adventist 

theologian specializing in the study of books by John in the

New Testament (John and Revelation particularly). He was the professor of New Testament

Interpretation at Andrews University. As of 2007,

he is dean of the Loma Linda University faculty of

religion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Paulien

This man wrote in the JOURNAL OF THE ADVENTIST

THEOLOGICAL SOCIETY:The subject of which was:THE END OF HISTORICISM?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Paulien

Alternative Approaches: 1. Preterism. A number of SDA thinkers,

particularly those educated in religion and history, have seen increasing light in the preterist

approach to biblical apocalyptic. This approach, the primary ones among

PROFESSIONAL BIBLICAL SCHOLARS, treats books like Daniel and

Revelation as messages to their original time and place, not as

divinely-ordained chains of future historical events. According to this

approach, believers benefit from these books not by seeing where

they stand in the course of history, but by applying spiritual principles

drawn from the text to later situations.

WE ARE AT THE END OF THE

OMEGA APOSTASYWe have far more to fear from within than from without. The

hindrances to strength and success are far greater from the church itself than from the world.

{RH, March 22, 1887 par. 4} Raymond Forrest Cottrell (April 21, 1911, Los Angeles, California – January 12, 2003, Calimesa, California) was a respected Adventist theologian, missionary, teacher, writer and editor. He was an

associate editor of both the Adventist Review (the church's official news magazine) and the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary. Raymond Cottrell, is seen by some as a "

progressive Adventist", as he disagreed with certain traditional positions of the church, including theinvestigative judgment,[1] and served in an editorial role for the independently owned and

operated magazine Adventist Today. He was a consulting editor to Spectrummagazine, another independent Adventist paper, both which leaned to progressive Adventist viewpoints. He was the

first Adventist to become a member of a scholarly theological society, and was instrumental in the founding of the Biblical Research Institute. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Cottrell

WHY DID DESMOND FORD & OTHERS BEGIN TO BELIEVE FALSE DOCTRINE?The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place

among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization. Were this

reformation to take place, what would result? 1)The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. 2)Our religion would be changed. 3)The fundamental

principles that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. 4)A new organization would be established. 5)Books of a new order would be written. 6)A system of intellectual

philosophy would be introduced. The founders of this system would go into the cities, and do a 205

wonderful work. The Sabbath of course, would be lightly regarded, as also the God who created it. Nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement. The leaders would teach that

virtue is better than vice, but God being removed, they would place their dependence on human power, which, without God, is worthless. Their foundation would be built on the sand, and storm and tempest

would sweep away the structure. {1SM 204.2}

THE “SANCTUARY DOCTRINE”—ASSET OR LIABILITY?

AuthorRaymond F. Cottrell, D. Div. (1912-20030

"The 'sanctuary doctrine' – Asset or liability'" was first delivered to the second JIF symposium in 02-04 November 2001 and again publicly on 09 February 2002 at the Assoc. of Adventist Forums meeting in San Diego, CA 

Three Methods of Bible StudyThe traditional Adventist interpretation of Daniel 8:14 was formulated on the basis of what is commonly known as the proof-text method of biblical

study and interpretation, which construes Bible passages in terms of what a modern reader thinks to be their import. This method (1) is highly subjective, (2) understands the Bible from the modern reader's cultural,

historical, and salvation history perspectives, (3) accepts the Bible in translation as authoritative, (4) makes the reader's personal and group-think presuppositions normative for evaluating data and for (5) drawing

conclusions. This method does not require special training or experience, and is followed by a majority of untutored Bible readers. Since the

beginning most Adventists have followed this method, but no reputable Bible scholar follows it today.

http://www.ellenwhiteexposed.com/1844rc.htmThis man opposes the PROOF-TEXT METHOD of Bible Study

because the Investigative Judgment can be PROVEN when studied from this perspective.

Page 13: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

THE “SANCTUARY DOCTRINE”—ASSET OR LIABILITY CONTINUES

When Daniel 8:14 is studied from the historical method, serious flaws in the traditional interpretation become apparent

because the historical method (1) aspires to be as objective as possible, (2) endeavors to understand the Bible as the various

writers intended what they wrote to be understood and as their original reading audience would have understood it from their

cultural, historical, and salvation history perspective, (3) considers words, literary forms, and statements according to

their meaning in the original language as normative, (4) endeavors to evaluate data objectively, and (5) bases its

conclusions on the weight of evidence. This method requires either special training in biblical languages and the history and milieu of antiquity, or reliance on source material prepared by

persons with such training. SINCE ABOUT 1940, MOST ADVENTIST BIBLE SCHOLARS HAVE FOLLOWED THIS METHOD.

(Remember we became accredited in 1931, so by 1940, preterism had been/is on the scene!)

http://www.ellenwhiteexposed.com/1844rc.htm

NOT HISTORICISM—BUT HISTORICAL, MEANING EVERYTHING WRITTEN BY THE PROPHETS WAS FOR THAT PARTICULAR TIME PERIOD IN WHICH THEY WROTE. (PRETERISM) THIS IS THE DEVIL’S ATTACK ON THE SANCTUARY.

Page 14: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

Sidebar—These men think that the ONLY way to look at HISTORICISM—THE PROOF-TEXT METHOD OF BIBLE STUDY—is from a principle stand point of view. For instance, Daniel’s praying three times a day says to us that we ought to pray three times a day—that’s the principle to draw from that story.

LISTEN TO THE LANGUAGE:--(This method requires either special training in biblical languages and the history and milieu of antiquity, or reliance on source material prepared by persons with such training. SINCE ABOUT 1940, MOST ADVENTIST BIBLE SCHOLARS HAVE FOLLOWED THIS METHOD.)

This is INTELLECTUAL PHILOSOPHY BEING INTRODUCED; YOU MUST BE EDUCATED BY THE WORLD IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE. Remember now, the Prophet said this would take place. “The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization. Were this reformation to take place, what would result? 1.The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the remnant church, would be discarded. 2.Our religion would be changed. 3.The fundamental principles that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would be accounted as error. 4.A new organization would be established. 5.Books of a new order would be written. 6.A system of intellectual philosophy would be introduced.” {1SM 205.2}

WE BEGIN TO VIEW THINGS IN THE SAME LIGHT WHEN WE GAIN KNOWLEDGE FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF

GOOD AND EVIL—SATAN’S FALSE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.

Sidebar—Because of Seventh-day Adventist’s acceptance of accreditation in our schools beginning in 1930s, our minds have become identical to the evangelical thinking of today

whose method of understanding the Bible is from a PRETERIST (INTELLECTUAL PHILOSOPHY) point of view.

Satan had to get in to the educational system of the church in order to prevent the TRUE MESSAGE OF GOD, which prepares us to stand when the Investigative Judgment

passes from the dead to the living at the National Sunday Law!

The Prophet Speaks—The enemy of souls has sought to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization.

Seminary (now located at Andrews University) from 1937-1949, and was

recognized as a leading denominational scholar on the

ATONEMENT and related topics.

His presentations on the law and covenants at the 1952 Bible

Page 18: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

Sidebar—I accepted the three angels’ message in 1975; therefore, when I came into the message, it was already in the corruption stage because the SHIFT began with Ted Heppenstall in 1952.

Ted Heppenstall earned a BA degree at Emmanuel Missionary College(our school) majoring in English Literature and also doing work in science and theology. Then he got a master’s degree from the University of Michigan in History and Semitics. While teaching a La Sierra College,(our school) he earned a PhD degree in the field of Religious Education from the University of Southern California in 1951. Heppenstall got his master’s and PhD from worldly schools and came back into our school. That worldly education rendered him incapable of teaching the “THE THREE ANGEL’S MESSAGE—IMPOSSIBLE!

The Prophet Speaks—Those who seek the education that the world esteems so highly are gradually led farther and farther from the principles of truth until they become educated worldlings. At what a price have they gained their education! They have parted with the Holy Spirit of God. They have chosen to accept what the world calls knowledge in the place of the truths which God has committed to men through his ministers and prophets and apostles. And there are some who, having secured this worldly education, think that they can introduce it into our schools, but let me tell you that YOU MUST NOT take what the world calls the higher education and bring it into our schools and sanitariums and churches I speak to you definitely; this must not be done {PH049 11.1}

DESMOND FORD10) WHAT DO ADVENTIST SCHOLARS SAY ABOUT THE BIBLE AND THE

ADVENTIST UNDERSTANDING OF DANIEL 8:14?

10a. FORD SUMMARY STATEMENT: Desmond Ford was a college teacher for many years within the Adventist church. Here is a general statement by him about Adventist scholarship and the supposed “Investigative Judgment” of Daniel 8:14: Many Adventist scholars have long held that Daniel 8:14 does not teach an Investigative Judgment. Their view was rejected because it seem to contradict Ellen White. It is well nigh certain that had Ellen White not endorsed the doctrine, it would have been surrendered long ago. In practical terms, it has been surrendered. Surrendered, not only by Adventist scholars in this country, but also around the world, and by much of European Adventism. As a local example, belief in 1844 and Investigative Judgment is not considered mandatory for baptism in Germany.

Sidebar—What it boils down to is whether we’re gonna believe these scholars or whether we’re gonna believe the Word of God and the Prophet. Ecclesiastes 12: 14—For God shall bring every work into

judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.

Page 20: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

Heppenstall was the most influential scholar to come out against M. L. Andreasen’s final generation theology. He opposed Andreasen’s form of historic Adventism on such issues as the human nature of Christ and the ATONEMENT. He emphasized, as did Questions on Doctrine, the atonement on the cross with a continuing ministry in heaven in the antitypical Day of Atonement. Beyond that, he stressed such teachings as the helplessness of human beings to do good of their own selves—TRUE, justification by faith in relation to the entire plan of salvation,--TRUE, then, this is where he messed up—he stressed the impossibility of humanly achieving what some people think of as sinless perfection. This is messed up because we can/MUST reach perfection by the power of the INDWELLING CHRIST either before we die or before the National Sunday Law. GOD CAN DO THIS FOR US IF WE ALLOW HIM!Sidebar—We must be sinless before we can receive the SEAL OF GOD, then, we’ll be qualified to receive the LATTER RAIN which will empower us to give the LOUD CRY!

1952 BIBLE CONFERENCE

Page 21: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

The Prophet Speaks—The very image of God is to be reproduced

in humanity. The honor of God, the honor of Christ, is involved in the PERFECTION OF THE CHARACTER

OF HIS PEOPLE. . . . {OHC 154.3}

Page 22: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

1952 BIBLE CONFERENCE CONTINUES. . . .

Heppenstall’s theology was definitely a more cross-centered, Christ-centered, evangelical form of theology. This plainly shows up in Heppenstall’s understanding of character perfection. Far from ideas of sinlessness, perfectionism, the teaching that people must get to the place where they can stand without Christ, and other ideas set forth by Andreasen, he argued that nowhere does the Bible equate perfection with sinlessness when speaking of the child of God. And that salvation by grace means being shaken loose from the folly of implanting our ego at the center of the plan of salvation with the belief that we must arrive at sinless perfection to be sure of salvation.

The Prophet Speaks—The very image of God is to be reproduced in humanity. The honor of God, the honor of Christ, is involved in the perfection of the character of His people. . . . {OHC 154.3}

Page 23: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

For thousands of years Satan has been experimenting upon the properties of the human mind, and he has learned to know it well. By his subtle workings

in these last days, he is linking the human mind with his own, imbuing it with his thoughts; and he is doing this work in so deceptive a manner that those who accept his guidance know not that they are being led by him at his will.

The great deceiver hopes to so confuse the minds of men and women

that none but HIS voice will be heard.--Lt 244, 1907. (MM 111.) {2MCP 698.3}

WALTER MARTIN

KENNETH

SAMPLES

Kenneth Samples who worked with W. Martin did

a1987 SURVEY OF 68 SDA PASTORS asking about

the “Sanctuary Message”. . .that the doctrine {the Adventist Sanctuary doctrine} had no biblical

warrant, and was only accepted because of Ellen G. White. 37 (54%) disagree; 15 (22%) agree; 12 (18%) neutral; 1“Qualified”; 1“?”; 2 blank. Only 54% disagree with the statement with the rest either agreeing (and this was Ford’s contention) or remaining neutral or non responsive. Response to this statement could indicate that the points Ford made are widely accepted. Results from a survey taken before and after the Glacier View Sanctuary Review Committee meeting indicate that between a fourth and a third of the participants, including administrators, scholars and other religious leaders AGREED WITH FORD’S VIEWS.

Sidebar—Remember now, 1987 is 8 yrs after Desmond Ford was defrocked from the SDA church.

Page 25: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

Sidebar—This survey was taken in 1987; it is now 2014; if many of the pastors in the year 1987 responded with views contrary to that of the pioneers in regards to the Sanctuary message then, the question is, what in the world would be the response of the pastors of today? I SHUTTER TO THINK!! Remember now, there were 180 pastors who left the SDA church holding the same views on the Sanctuary as did Desmond Ford; however, the majority remained in the church, at Ford’s suggestion, for the purpose of changing the church’s view on matters of the Sanctuary etc.

ARTHUR MAXWELL AUTHOR

Maxwell is speaking at the University Church at Loma Linda, California—”OUTSTRETCHED HANDS”The following statements are those of Arthur Maxwell, author of Bible Story who

attended Vatican ii. “First, the friendliness of the welcome. You see, I’ve been there several times, that is, to Rome. Always a sort of an iciness there, but NOT ANY MORE, NOT ANY MORE! And it was evident in so many ways. For instance, in the giving of these press passes, Brother Loewen was there from Religious Liberty, Brother Cottrell from the Review and Herald. Brother Beach was there from northern Europe, and I (Arthur Maxwell) was there from the Signs, and provided you had a good reason for asking for a pass, you got it. If you were an editor or a correspondent for a real newspaper, they gave the pass, and they gave them to people of all faiths. Here, four Adventists got these passes. I thought you would like to see mine. It’s the only document I have which has the crossed keys and the triple crown on it. I have to be careful when I show this. I don’t want anybody to think I’m going over to the Church of Rome. But it is a very nice little pass, and it was very valuable. This little pass got me anywhere I wanted to go at the time of the council.”

VATICAN II 1962

Page 27: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

ARTHUR MAXWELL’S STATEMENTS CONTINUE. . . .HE’S AT A SDA CHURCH SHARING HIS EXPERIENCE AT THE VATICAN

“Then another aspect of the friendliness—the way they arranged for the press of the world to have the best seats at the opening ceremony. I sat closer to the Pope than any of the cardinals. I was only forty feet away from him for three of four hours, and I had the clearest views. Just as clear as some of you forty feet away. The reason I know he was forty feet away, I stepped it out after the service was over, because I thought, “Nobody will ever believe me, that I sat so long, so near to His Holiness. ’But I had a wonderful view and I saw some most fascination close-up views which I won’t tell you now, but I would tell some of you privately-some very, very interesting little human details, which you see only when you’re very close.’”

Sidebar—This man is highly impressed/ecstatic that he sat so close the ANTI-CHRIST!

VATICAN II 1962

Page 28: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

ARTHUR MAXWELL AUTHOR OF BIBLE STORY CONTINUES. . . .VATICAN II

Maxwell followed this with some advice to ministers, and telling what he had already done. He said: “Now, there’s one other thing. These things are going to make us think, they really are—this new situation. I think that a lot of our preachers are going to have to throw away a lot of old sermons. You and me—a lot of old sermons. I scrapped a lot of them already. You know what I think is going to happen? We cannot go on preaching about these dear people like we did thirty, forty, fifty years ago. We simply can’t do it. The facts are all against us. How can we go and talk about them persecuting, burning Bibles, when they’re not doing anything of the sort? We’ve just got to get some new sermons. . . . Sure have!” (Ibid. p. 14)

Page 29: INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT SCENE 5--THE END.pptx

Sidebar—As brother Maxwell attended Vatican II, he came away MESMERIZED saying we must change our doctrine. He had to be mesmerized to speak of changing the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy! This is totally disconcerting/horrifying to me. It proves how tricky, cunning, crafty, deceitful, beguiling, Satan is. I am convinced even more so that I must PRAY, STUDY, FAST, and REPENT, unceasingly. Arthur Maxwell was affected, Raymond Cottrell was affected and B. B. Beach was affected. Vatican II was the turning point for the healing of the Beast of Revelation 13: 12. Out of Vatican II, the New International Version (NIV) was birthed because Vatican II was about bringing ALL RELIGIONS TOGETHER; therefore, a bible had to come into existence that ALL DENOMINATIONS would use. A bible that would teach no doctrine and cover all boundaries. And this NIV bible was interpreted from the VATICANUS, a catholic interpretation which tampers with the Plan of Redemption! Read Heb 9:12 from the NIV and then from the KJV. The NIV says that after Jesus died, He went to the MOST HOLY PLACE—not true—He went to the HOLY PLACE. If Jesus went to the Holy Place in 31AD, there’s no 2300 day prophecy, no 538—1798, no INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT. E G White’s statement that the passing of time opened our astonished eyes the cleansing of the Sanctuary in Heaven would be A LIE! {CW 30.2}

Codex Vaticanus. (B) The Codex Vaticanus, so called because it is the most famous manuscript in the possession of the Vatican library, is generally believed to be from the fourth century, and is thought to be the oldest (nearly) complete copy of the Greek Bible in existence.

Sidebar—When John, the Revelator sees Jesus, he sees HIM walking among the candlesticks and the candlesticks are in the HOLY PLACE! When Jesus left the HOLY PLACE in 1844, He went into the

MOST HOLY PLACE. Sadly enough, our church, our pastors are using the NIV. Satan has gotten into

The Second Vatican Ecumenical CouncilThe "Instructions on Music in the Liturgy" section of the Vatican II document says this: "...the unity of hearts is more profoundly achieved by the union of voices, minds are more easily raised to heavenly things by the beauty of sacred rites...In order that the faithful may ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE more willingly and with greater benefit, it is fitting that THE FORMAT OF CELEBRATION and the degree of participation in it should be varied as much as possible, according to the solemnity of the day and the nature of the congregation present...The participation (a) Should be above all internal (b) Must be, on the other hand, EXTERNAL also, that is, such as to show the internal participation by GESTURES and BODILY attitudes, by acclamations, responses and singing." --Austin Flannery (ed.), "Instructions on Music in the Liturgy," Vatican II Council: The Conciliar and Post-Conciliar Documents (New York: Costello Publishing, 1979): 81, 83-84.The Vatican II Council issued recommendations on liturgy— the singing, prayers, congregational responses, and Scripture readings that make up a church service. These directives discussed ways to incorporate the whole church community in the service, making them more involved in worship procedures. Churches were encouraged to shift away from traditional sermons that exhort and equip and instead concentrate on the cursory reading of extracts from the Psalms and Gospels. They were instructed to replace traditional hymns with popular music, modern musical instruments, and physical movement of the congregation. Churches were also encouraged to adapt their styles of worship to suit their cultures. The liturgical section of the Vatican II document, Volume 1, can be summarized as follows: Source: http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19631204_sacrosanctum-concilium_en.html1. Get the churches accustomed to celebration terminology and the celebration concept. Every function of the church becomes a celebration. 2. Get the churches accustomed to a revitalized style of celebration service, encouraging a reduction of inhibition which includes physical gestures, bodily attitudes and movement. 3. Set forth song and musical celebration services as the most effective celebrations. 4. Utilizing popular religious songs and relating music to the various cultures and the temperaments of the people. is there something wrong with sign language?There's nothing wrong with it, if it's for the precious deaf people. But the way that many churches use "signing" is as a performance; and this is a mockery to the deaf. We shouldn't use their means of comminication as a form of entertainment. It's ashame, and doesn't make any sense. It's like peaching in Latin where no one understands it.Source: http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19631204_sacrosanctum-concilium_en.html

Sidebar—this is the same tactic the devil used on the children of Israel just as they were about to cross over into Canaan Land. Baalim desired to curse Israel but he couldn’t do it as long as the Israelites stayed connected to God. But Baalim went further by persuading God’s people to attend this ecumenical rally and the first thing they came in contact with was the music and the music brought down their inhibitions; mirth, dancing, drinking, and finally, they bowed down and worshipped idols. This celebration type music that Satan has brought into God’s church is preparing God’s people to BOW DOWN to the SUNDAY SABBATH to worship the SUN! That’s the reason the prophet says the church will look as if it’s about to FALL yet it will NOT FALL.

The Prophet Speaks—The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out--the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place.--2SM 380 (1886). {LDE 180.5} As the storm approaches, A LARGE CLASS WHO HAVE PROFESSED FAITH IN THE THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE, BUT HAVE 181NOT BEEN SANCTIFIED THROUGH OBEDIENCE to the truth, abandon their position and join the ranks of the opposition.--GC 608 (1911). {LDE 180.6}

“Although it is true that there was a period in the life of the Seventh-day Adventist chuch when the denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic viewpoint…that attitude on the church’s part was nothing more than a manifestation of widespread anti popery among conservative Protestant denominations in the early part of this century and the latter part of the last, and which has now been consigned to the historical trash heap so far as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned.” (Neal C. Wilson, past president of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference.

Neal C. Wilson (July 5, 1920-December 14, 2010) served as General Conference president of the 

Seventh-day Adventist Church from 1979 through to 1990. Wilson was head of the North American Division when

elected on January 3, 1979, to take the place of the ailing former General Conference president Robert Pierson, who

had resigned for reasons of health.[1][2]
