Three angels message

THE 3 ANGEL’S MESSAGE
Antonio Bernard

Revelation 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,

Angels=messengers - Revelation 1:16, 20; 12:4, 7-9; Job 38:7
" The angels are represented as flying in the midst of heaven,
proclaiming to the world a message of warning, and having a
direct bearing upon the people living in the last days of this earth’s
history. No one hears the voice of these angels, for they are a
symbol to represent the people of God who are working in
harmony with the universe of heaven. Men and women,
enlightened by the Spirit of God and sanctified through the truth,
proclaim the three messages in their order. {2SM 387.1}"
Galatians 4:14 And my temptation which was in my
flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received
me{Paul} as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

In a special sense Seventh-day Adventists have been
set in the world as watchmen and light bearers. To
them has been entrusted the last warning for a
perishing world. On them is shining wonderful
light from the Word of God. They have been
given a work of the most solemn
import--the proclamation of the first,
second, and third angels' messages.
There is no other work of so great
importance. They are to allow nothing else to
absorb their attention.--9T 19 (1909). {LDE 45.3}

our work is to benefit our fellow-men,
we are not to travel over the track of
opponents to the truth, but to
sound the message of the third
angel, who is flying in the midst of
heaven, proclaiming the note of
warning, the commandments of God,
and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

What is this Everlasting Gospel ?
This gospels is called
VICTORY OF SIN…that as
Christian we can live a sinless
and perfect live by the
indwelling power of Christ

But the plan
of redemption
had a yet
broader and
deeper
purpose than
the salvation
of man. It

the earth; it
was not
merely that
the
inhabitants of
this little
world might
regard the

to vindicate
the character
of God before
the universe.”
{PP 68.2} 3 of 3

The Saviour came to glorify
the Father by the
demonstration of His love;
so the Spirit was to glorify
Christ by revealing His
grace to the world. 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.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for
it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you
according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ,
according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept
secret since the world began,
Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures
of the prophets, according to the commandment of the
everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of
faith:

Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the
seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the
mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared
to his servants the prophets.
Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been
hid from ages and from generations, but now is made
manifest to his saints:
Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known
what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among
the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Colossians 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every
man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we
may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth
again until Christ be formed in you, Romans 8:10 And if Christ be
in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life
because of righteousness.
Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make
not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after
God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into
Christ have put on Christ.

“Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which
is in heaven is perfect.”
Matthew 5:48

Galatians 2:20,
“I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I,
but Christ liveth in me: and
the life which I now live in
the flesh I live by the faith of
the Son of God, who loved

“Let this mind be in you,
which was also in Christ
Jesus:” Phil. 2:5

“When we submit ourselves to
Christ, the heart is united with
His heart, the will is merged in
His will, the mind becomes
one with His mind, the
thoughts are brought into
captivity to Him; we live His
life. This is what

His righteousness. Then as the
Lord looks upon us He sees,
not the fig-leaf garment, not
the nakedness and deformity
of sin, but His own robe of
righteousness, which is perfect
obedience to the law of
Jehovah.”

1876-1962
M. L . Andreasen,
The Sanctuary Service,
pp . 299-321
The final demonstration of what the
gospel can do in and for humanity is
still in the future. Christ showed the
way. He took a human body, and in that
body demonstrated the power of God.
Men are to follow His example and
prove that what God did in Christ, He
can do in every human being who
submits to Him. The world is awaiting
this demonstration. (Romans 8: 19)
When it has been accomplished, the
end will come. God will have fulfilled
His plan. He will have shown Himself
true and Satan a liar. His government
will stand vindicated.

M. L . Andreasen
1876-1962
M. L . Andreasen,
The Sanctuary Service,
pp . 299-321
"In the last generation God gives the
final demonstration that men can keep
the law of God and that they can live
without sinning . God leaves nothing
undone to make the demonstration
complete . The only limitation put upon
Satan is that he may not kill the saints
of God . He may tempt them, he may
harass and threaten them ; and he does
his best . But he fails . He cannot make
them sin . They stand the test, and God
puts His seal upon them . "Through the
last generation of saints God stands
finally vindicated . Through them He
defeats Satan and wins His case .

Ellet J. Waggoner
(1855 – 1916)
(E. J. Waggoner, General
Conference Bulletin, 1891, pp.
156, 159).
In all of our Christian experience
we have left little loopholes along
here and there for sin. We have
never dared to come to that place
where we would believe that the
Christian life should be a sinless
life. We have not dared to believe
it or preach it. But in that case we
cannot preach the law of God
fully. Why not? Because we do
not understand the power of
justification by faith

Alonzo T. Jones
(1850 – 1923)
Christ is to be in us, just as
God was in Him, and His
character is to be in us, just as
God was in Him. . . It is the
cooperation of the divine and
the human—the mystery of
God in you and me—. . . that is
the third angel’s message
(A.T. Jones, General
Conference Bulletin, 1893, p.
207).

Alonzo T. Jones
(1850 – 1923)
In Jesus Christ as He was
in sinful flesh, God has
demonstrated before the
universe that He can so
take possession of sinful
flesh as to manifest His
own presence, His power,
and His glory, instead of
sin manifesting itself. . .
Conference Bulletin, 1895,
p. 303).

Alonzo T. Jones
(1850 – 1923)
Then God will so take us, and
so use us, that our sinful
selves shall not appear to
influence or affect anybody;
but God will manifest His
righteous self, His glory,
before men, in spite of all
ourselves and our sinfulness.
. . And that is the mystery of
God, ‘Christ in you, the hope
of glory,’—God manifest in
sinful flesh.
Conference Bulletin, 1895,
p. 303).

The Saviour took upon Himself
the infirmities of humanity and
LIVED A SINLESS LIFE, that
men might have no fear that
because of the weakness of
human nature they could not
overcome. Christ came to make
us "partakers of the divine
nature," and His life declares
that HUMANITY, COMBINED
WITH DIVINITY, DOES NOT
COMMIT SIN.
THE MINISTRY OF HEALING, P. 180.

Alonzo T. Jones
(1850 – 1923)
Perfection, perfection of
character, is the Christian
goal—perfection attained
in human flesh in this
world. Christ attained it in
human flesh in this world,
and thus made and
consecrated a way
by which, in Him, every
believer can attain it .
(A.T. Jones, The Consecrated
Way to Christian Perfection, p.
84).

Ellet J. Waggoner
(1855 – 1916)
But before probation ends,
there will be a people so
complete in Him that in
spite of their sinful flesh,
they will live sinless lives.
They will live sinless lives
in mortal flesh, because He
who has demonstrated that
He has power over all flesh
lives in them—lived a
sinless life in sinful flesh.
(E.J. Waggoner, General
Conference Bulletin, 1901, p.
146).

Higher than the highest
human thought can reach
is God's ideal for His
children. Godliness—
godlikeness—is the goal
to be reached.—

“Christ is waiting with longing
desire for the manifestation of
Himself in His church. When
the character of Christ shall be
perfectly reproduced in His
people, then He will come to
claim them as His own.”
Christ’s Object Lessons, 69

“No one who truly loves and
fears
God will continue to transgress
the
law in any particular. When man
transgresses he is under the
condemnation of the law, and it
becomes to him a yoke of

"None need fail of attaining,
in his sphere, to perfection of
Christian character. By the
sacrifice of Christ provision
has been made for the
believer to receive all things
that pertain to life and
godliness. God calls upon us
to reach the standard of
perfection, and places before
us the example of Christ’s
character.
Acts of the Apostles, p. 531.

In His humanity, perfected
by a life of constant
resistance of evil, the
Savior showed that
through cooperation with
divinity, human beings
may in this life attain to
perfection of character.
This is God's assurance to
us that we too may obtain
complete victory."
Acts of the Apostles, p. 531.

The controlling power of
APPETITE will prove the ruin of
thousands, when, IF THEY HAD
CONQUERED ON THIS POINT,
they would have had moral
power to GAIN THE VICTORY
OVER EVERY OTHER
TEMPTATION OF SATAN. But
those who are SLAVES TO
APPETITE WILL FAIL IN
PERFECTING CHRISTIAN
CHARACTER. The continual
transgression of man for six
thousand years has brought
sickness, pain, and death as its
fruits. And as we near the close
of time, SATAN'S TEMPTATION
TO INDULGE APPETITE WILL
BE MORE POWERFUL AND
MORE DIFFICULT TO
OVERCOME. From Maranatha -
Page 62

Again and again I have been shown that
God is trying to lead us back, step by
step, to His original design—that man
should subsist upon the natural
products of the earth. Among those who
are waiting for the coming of the Lord,
meat-eating will eventually be done
away; flesh will cease to form a part of
their diet. We should ever keep this end
in view, and endeavor to work steadily
toward it. Mar 62.6

Let the diet reform be progressive. Let the people be taught
how to prepare food without the use of milk and butter. Tell
them that the time will soon come when there will be no
safety in using eggs, milk, cream, or butter, because disease
in animals is increasing in proportion to the increase of
wickedness among men. The time is near when, because of
the iniquity of the fallen race, the whole animal creation will
groan under the diseases that curse our earth. {TSDF 13.5}

There is no safety in eating of the flesh of dead
animals, and in a short time the milk of the
cows will also be excluded from the diet of
God's commandment-keeping people. In a
short time it will not be safe to use anything
that comes from the animal creation. [written
in 1898]—Pacific Union Recorder, Nov. 7, 1901.

Worship
Revelation14:7…worship him that made heaven, and earth,
and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
In this first angel's message, we are called upon to worship our Creator
who also formed this earth. There are other Bible texts which call for
us to do the same, Jeremiah 10:11,12; Psalms 95:3-6, Revelation 4:10-
11, and most importantly Exodus 20:8-11 "Remember the Sabbath day,
to keep it holy. . . For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the
sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the
Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it." In this message of
judgment, we are called upon to worship the Creator, who also created
the Sabbath day. Note how the Sabbath has a part in salvation,
"Moreover also I gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between Me
and the, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them"
Ezekiel 20:12.

• I have glorified You on the earth.
• I have finished the work which You have given Me to
do.
• Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who
orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of
God
• What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and
ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit,
which are God's.
John 17:4 & Ps 50:23, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

• By watching over our deeds,
words, and even our thoughts, in
order to always keep them in
harmony with God's will, we give
glory to God continuously, and
thus we obey the message of the
first angel.

• By giving glory to God in this way,
we will be transformed into His
image, and we will reflect His
glory more and more in our lives.

2 Cor 3:18 & 2 Tim 4 :18
• But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a
mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed
into the same image from glory to glory, just as by
the Spirit of the Lord.
• And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work
and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom.
• To Him be glory forever and ever.

Rev 14:7
• [The angel was] saying with a loud voice,
• «Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour
of His judgment has come; and worship Him
who made heaven and earth, the sea and
springs of water.» Rom 1 vs 25

Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O
Lord, to receive glory and
honour and power: for thou
hast created all things, and for
thy pleasure they are and were
created.

Rev 14:12
• Here is the patience of the saints; here are
those who keep the commandments of God
and the faith of Jesus.

• Exodus 20:8-11(KJV)
• 8 Remember the sabbath day,
to keep it holy.
• 9 Six days shalt thou labour,
and do all thy work:
• 10 But the seventh day is the
sabbath of the LORD thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any
work, thou, nor thy son, nor
thy daughter, thy manservant,
nor thy maidservant, nor thy
cattle, nor thy stranger that is
within thy gates:
• 11 For in six days
the LORD made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in
them is, and rested the
seventh day: wherefore
the LORD blessed the sabbath
day, and hallowed it.

• «For the hour of His judgment has come.»
Indeed, at present, the case of
each believer is being judged in
the heavenly sanctuary, in order
to determine the genuineness of
each conversion.
And the supreme basis of this
judgment is God's law.
Now, why must we fear God and give glory
to Him?

Those who are living upon the earth
when the intercession of Christ shall
cease in the sanctuary above are to stand
in the sight of a holy God without a
mediator. Their robes must be spotless,
their characters must be purified from sin
by the blood of sprinkling. Through the
grace of God and their own diligent effort
they must be conquerors in the battle
with evil. While the investigative
judgment is going forward in heaven,
while the sins of penitent believers are
being removed from the sanctuary, there
is to be a special work of purification, of
putting away of sin, among God's people
upon earth. This work is more clearly
presented in the messages of Revelation
14.
When this work shall have been
accomplished, the followers of Christ will
be ready for His appearing. {GC 425.1}

• Since 1844, the judgment of the
believers has caused the names
of those who aren't really
converted to be blotted out from
the Lamb's Book of Life.

“The Pope is not only the
representative of Jesus Christ, but
he is Jesus himself hidden under
the veil of the flesh.” POPE PIUS X
WHEN ARCHBISHOP OF VENICE.

“All the names which in the scriptures
are applied to Christ, by virtue of
which it is established that He is over
the church, all the same names are
applied to the Pope.”
Cardinal Bellarmine.

“The Pope is Jesus Christ on earth.”
Gomay Thomas
“The Pope is crowned with a triple
crown as king of heaven, and earth,
and purgatory.”
Ferraris Prompta Bibliotheca, Vol. 6,

article “Papa.”

The Dominus Iesus declaration, which has
been written by a close aide of Pope John
Paul II, says that the Roman Catholic
church is the “mother” of all Christian
denominations and that it is incorrect to
refer to the Church of England and other
Protestant churches as “sister”
organisations on a par with Rome.(Vatican
declaration provokes churches. BBC,
September 5,
2000. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/910612
.stm)

Thus there are two “falls” or apostasies
which are identified by the second
angel.
“Babylon is fallen, is fallen.” The
fall of the Apostolic Church
represented by the apostasy of the
Church of the Middle Ages was
the first fall; and the fall of
Protestantism in more recent
centuries is the second fall.

….The fall of Protestantism….

Babylon is described in Revelation 17:5 as the “mother of harlots,”
which refers to apostate religious systems or churches. If the Church
is the chaste woman faithful to her husband, then Babylon is the
opposite: that system of worship that is unfaithful to God, has a
mystery religion, and teaches and practices abominations. The harlot
daughters must then represent those churches that follow her false
teachings and subject themselves to her rule or, even worse,
officially accept Rome’s leadership as authoritative.
Rome claims to be the mother of all the churches. At the entrance of St. John Lateran
Cathedral in Rome there is a huge Latin inscription Sacrosancta Lateranensis ecclesia
omnium urbis et orbis ecclesiarum mater et caput, which translated into English
reads,
“Sacred Lateran Church. Church mother and
head of all the churches of the city and the world.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church

The Catechism of the Catholic Church
calls the Church, “Mother and Teacher”
The "Dominus Iesus" faith declaration
says, “It must be always clear that the
one, holy, catholic and apostolic
universal church is not the sister, but
the mother of all the churches.”
“Dominus Iesus” (August 6, 2000).

1Co 6:16 What? know ye not that
he which is joined to an harlot is
one body? for two, saith he, shall
be one flesh.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly,
that in the latter times some shall depart
from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Ti 4:3 For
the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their
own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their
ears from the truth, and shall be turned
unto fables.

Revelation 13:3 ….and all the world wondered after the beast.

Through the two great errors, the immortality of the
soul and Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the
people under his deceptions. While the former lays
the foundation of spiritualism, the latter creates a
bond of sympathy with Rome. {GC 588.1}

"Ye shall be as gods," he
[Satan] declares, "knowing
good and evil." Genesis 3:5.
SPIRITUALISM TEACHES
"that man is the creature of
PROGRESSION; that it is his
destiny from his birth to
progress, even to eternity,
toward the Godhead." And
again: "EACH MIND WILL
JUDGE IT SELF AND NOT
ANOTHER." "THE
JUDGMENT WILL BE RIGHT,
BECAUSE IT IS THE
JUDGMENT OF SELF. {GC
554.1}
….Ye shall be as gods….

IF THERE WERE NO OTHER
EVIDENCE OF THE REAL
CHARACTER OF SPIRITUALISM, IT
SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR THE
CHRISTIAN THAT THE SPIRITS MAKE
NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
RIGHTEOUSNESS AND SIN...Satan
says to the world: "NO MATTER HOW
WICKED YOU ARE; NO MATTER
WHETHER YOU BELIEVE OR
DISBELIEVE GOD AND THE BIBLE.
LIVE AS YOU PLEASE; HEAVEN IS
YOUR HOME." The spiritualist teachers
virtually declare:“ Everyone that doeth
evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and
He delighteth in them; or, Where is the
God of judgment?" Malachi 2:17. {GC
556.3}

Thus, in place of the righteousness and
perfection of the infinite God, the true
object of adoration; in place of the perfect
righteousness of His law, the true
standard of human attainment, SATAN
HAS SUBSTITUTED THE SINFUL,
ERRING NATURE OF MAN HIMSELF AS
THE ONLY OBJECT OF ADORATION,
THE ONLY RULE OF JUDGMENT, OR
STANDARD OF CHARACTER. THIS IS
PROGRESS, NOT UPWARD, BUT
DOWNWARD. {GC 554.2}

While it [spiritualism] formerly denounced Christ and the Bible,
IT NOW PROFESSES TO ACCEPT BOTH. BUT THE BIBLE
IS INTERPRETED IN A MANNER THAT IS PLEASING TO
THE UNRENEWED HEART, WHILE ITS SOLEMN AND VITAL
TRUTHS ARE MADE OF NO EFFECT. LOVE IS DWELT
UPON AS THE CHIEF ATTRIBUTE OF GOD, BUT IT IS
DEGRADED TO A WEAK SENTIMENTALISM, MAKING
LITTLE DISTINCTION BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL. GOD'S
JUSTICE, HIS DENUNCIATIONS OF SIN, THE
REQUIREMENTS OF HIS HOLY LAW, ARE ALL KEPT OUT
OF SIGHT. The people are taught to REGARD THE
DECALOGUE AS A DEAD LETTER. PLEASING,
BEWITCHING FABLES CAPTIVATE THE SENSES AND
LEAD MEN TO REJECT THE BIBLE AS THE FOUNDATION
OF THEIR FAITH. CHRIST IS AS VERILY DENIED AS
BEFORE; BUT SATAN HAS SO BLINDED THE EYES OF THE
PEOPLE THAT THE DECEPTION IS NOT DISCERNED. {GC
558.1}

The man who thinks he can be a Protestant and
yet reject the Bible or some portion of it, is
making a profound mistake…true Protestantism
cannot only be anti-Catholic…it must also be anti-
modernist, anti-evolutionist, and against every
evil that is sapping the life of the Christian
churches of today. At the same time it must be in
favor of every good thing—prayer, Bible study,
and all that is meant by Christian service. That is
the Protestantism that is so sorely needed.iiPhilipp
Melancthon (1497-1560), as quoted in Henry
Parkhurst, Proceedings of the Anti-Sabbath
Convention: held in the Melodeon, March

a holy purpose, to lift the
thoughts to that which is
pure, noble, and
elevating, and to awaken
in the soul devotion and
gratitude to God.

Patriarchs and
Prophets, p. 594.

The Power of Music
Jesus carried into His labor cheerfulness and tact. .
. . Often He expressed the gladness of His heart
by singing psalms and heavenly songs. Often the
dwellers in Nazareth heard His voice raised in
praise and thanksgiving to God. He held
communion with heaven in song; and as
His companions complained of weariness
from labor, they were cheered by the sweet
melody from His lips. His praise seemed to
banish the evil angels, and, like incense, fill the
place with fragrance. {FLB 273.3}

Qualities of Good Music.--Great improvement can
be made in singing. Some think that the louder they
sing the more music they make; but noise is not
music. Good singing is like the music of the birds--
subdued and melodious. {Ev 510.4}
In some of our churches I have heard solos that
were altogether unsuitable for the service of the
Lord's house. The long-drawn-out notes and the
peculiar sounds common in operatic singing are
not pleasing to the angels. They delight to hear the
simple songs of praise sung in a natural tone. The
songs in which every word is uttered clearly, in a
musical tone, are the songs that they join us in
singing. They take up the refrain that is sung from
the heart with the spirit and the understanding.--

It is not loud singing that is
needed, but clear intonation,
correct pronunciation, and
distinct utterance. Let all take
time to cultivate the voice, so that
God’s praise can be sung in clear,
soft tones, not with harshness
and shrillness that offend the
ear. The ability to sing is the gift of
God; let it be used to His
glory. {MYP 294.1}

"Music is acceptable to God
only when the heart is
sanctified and made soft and
holy by its faculties. But many
who delight in music know
nothing of making melody in
their hearts to the Lord. The
heart is gone "after their
idols." Evangelism p. 512.

Meaning of Words in Songs
As a part of religious service,
singing is as much an act of worship
as is prayer. Indeed, many a song is
prayer. If the child is taught to realize
this, he will think more of the
meaning of the words he sings and
will be more susceptible to their
power.--Ed 168. {VSS 432.2}

The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council
The "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.

ii_const_19631204_sacrosanctum-concilium_en.html

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:

1. 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.

"The human mind shuts
down after three or four
repetitions of a rhythm, or a
melody, or a harmonic
progression." Furthermore,
excessive repetition causes
people to release control of
their thoughts. Rhythmic
repetition is used by people
who are trying to push
certain ethics in their music.”

congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from
the tents of these wicked men, and touch
nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all
their sins.
And I heard another
voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not of
her plagues.
Rev 18:5 For her sins have
reached unto heaven, and God
hath remembered her iniquities.Jer 50:28

Then I saw another mighty angel commissioned to descend
to the earth, to unite his voice with the third angel, and give
power and force to his message. Great power and glory
were imparted to the angel, and as he descended, the earth
was lightened with his glory. The light which attended this
angel penetrated everywhere, as he cried mightily, with a
strong voice, "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."

The message of the fall of Babylon, as given by
the second angel, is repeated, with the
additional mention of the corruptions which
have been entering the churches since 1844.
The work of this angel comes in at the right
time to join in the last great work of the third
angel's message as it swells to a loud cry. And
the people of God are thus prepared to stand
in the hour of temptation, which they are soon
to meet. I saw a great light resting upon them,
and they united to fearlessly proclaim the third
angel's message. {EW 277.1}

land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the
LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple.

man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the

VI. There is no other head of the Church but the Lord
Jesus Christ. Nor can the Pope of Rome, in any sense, be
head thereof, but is that Antichrist, that man of sin, and
son of perdition, that exalts himself, in the Church,
against Christ and all that is called God.

God's purpose in giving the third angel's
message to the world is to prepare a people
to stand true to Him during the investigative
judgment. This is the purpose for which we
establish and maintain our publishing
houses, our schools, our sanitariums,
hygienic restaurants, treatment rooms, and
food factories. This is our purpose in
carrying forward every line of work in the
cause. Ms 154, 1902, p. 4. ("Instruction to
Men in Positions of Responsibility," October
24, 1902.) {1MR 228.2}

Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them,
saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and
his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his
hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of
his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and
brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the
presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment
ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day
nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

The forty and two months are the same as the
"time and times and the dividing of time," three
years and a half, or 1260 days, of Daniel 7-- the
time during which the papal power was to oppress
God's people. This period, as stated in preceding
chapters, began with the supremacy of the
papacy, A.D. 538, and terminated in 1798. At that
time the pope was made captive by the French
army, the papal power received its deadly
wound, and the prediction was fulfilled, "He
that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity."
{Great Controversy, p. 439}

The apostle Paul warned the church not to look
for the coming of Christ in his day... Not till
after the great apostasy, and the long
period of the reign of the "man of sin," can
we look for the advent of our Lord. The
"man of sin," which is also styled "the mystery
of iniquity," "the son of perdition," and "that
wicked," represents the papacy, which, as
foretold in prophecy, was to maintain its
supremacy for 1260 years…

This period ended in 1798. The coming of
Christ could not take place before that time.
Paul covers with his caution the whole of the
Christian dispensation down to the year 1798.
It is this side of that time that the message
of Christ's second coming is to be
proclaimed… But since 1798 the book of
Daniel has been unsealed, knowledge of the
prophecies has increased, and many have
proclaimed the solemn message of the
judgment near. {Great Controversy, p. 356}

The Pope was commonly called “Vicar of the Son of
God”. In Latin this is “Vicarius Filii Dei”. Latin letters
have numerical value (e.g. C=100) and the numerical
equivalents of these letters total 666. He is also called
“The Highest of the Clergy” of “Dux Cleri”, and this too
totals 666.

wisdom. Let him who has

number of the beast, for it is the
number of a man: His number is

[16] And he causeth all, both small and great,

Rev 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.

WHAT IS THE IMAGE TO THE BEAST?
The Papacy is not merely a church, but a combination of
church and state. This is the very essence of the Papal
system. The church used the arm of the state to enforce its
dogmas, often resulting in the punishing and martyrdom of
so called “heretics”. According to this amazing prophecy,
America will take the lead in creating an “image” or replica of
the Papal system in the time before the end of the world.
The image to the beast can be likened to a person looking in
a mirror and seeing his reflected image. It is not him in
reality, but it is his exact image. So here we see a reflection
of the Papacy in apostate Protestantism. There will be a
repudiation of everything Protestantism ever stood for in the
promotion of religious liberty. The state will be employed to
enforce religious laws and the rights of individual conscience
will be sacrificed on the altar of conformity.

The four and twenty elders fall down before him that

they are and were created.

Rev 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to
death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast. [4] And they worshipped the
dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
who is able to make war with him?

Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding
high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the
world, and the glory of them; [9] And saith unto him, All
these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and
worship me. [10] Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee
hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord
thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Rev 13:17

Rev 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.

Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the
Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day,
the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. "The Day
of the Lord" (dies Dominica) was chosen, not from any
directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church's
sense of its own power. The day of resurrection, the day of
Pentecost, fifty days later, came on the first day of the week.
So this would be the new Sabbath. People who think that the
Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically
become 7th Day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy.

A. Saturday is the Sabbath day.
Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because
the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from
Saturday to Sunday.

The Roman Church now presents a fair front to
the world, covering with apologies her record
of horrible cruelties. She has clothed herself in
Christlike garments; but she is unchanged.
Every principle of the papacy that existed in
past ages exists today. The doctrines devised in
the darkest ages are still held. Let none
deceive themselves. The papacy that
Protestants are now so ready to honor is the
same that ruled the world in the days of the
Reformation, when men of God stood up, at
the peril of their lives, to expose her iniquity.

She possesses the same pride and arrogant
assumption that lorded it over kings and princes, and
claimed the prerogatives of God. Her spirit is no less
cruel and despotic now than when she crushed out
human liberty and slew the saints of the Most High.

full of mixture; and he poureth out of
the same: but the dregs thereof, all

Rev 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I
have set before thee an open door,
and no man can shut it: for thou

my word, and hast not denied my

of temptation, which shall come
upon all the world, to try them that
dwell upon the earth.
2Ti 1:14 That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the
Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. James 5:7 -8 Be patient therefore,

for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until
he receive the early and latter rain. 8 Be ye also patient; stablish your
hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
