The True Religion in real sense

Introduction

When we talk of “r e l i g i o n”, our mind would have been inevitably directed to several rules and regulations that come from God, the Creator of the universe. And those rules and regulations themselves must be obeyed, that peace and order could be maintained in all the societies of this world. Every rational being, especially those of Christian origin should have admitted, that due to the fact that there is only o n e God as Creator of the universe, then there must be available also in the whole world the same rules and regulations, that apply to all the mankind of this earth, even to all created beings that now inhabit our world.

Even from the same rules and regulations we have been informed that this planet of our earth was just created by the Lord Jesus in about 6.000 years ago. This is one from among thousands of planets that are now orbiting in the outer space under the control of the Creator Himself. And this is also to make us know that our planet is just the last one created ever since some 6000 years ago. Thus, actually the Lord God Himself as Creator had ever since made known to us that He is the only God and Creator of the universe and even the King of the Kingdom of Heaven. And as well as Adam was ever appointed king of this earth ever since the beginning of creation, then the other planets in the universe would have their own king respectively ever since creation. And the Lord God would be King of kings over all of them. Let us always be sure, therefore, that we are now living in a very large Organization of the Heavenly Kingdom, with the Lord God Himself as King of kings of all the universe.

The Organization of the Kingdom of God comprises God the Father Himself as the King, the Lord Jesus, the Son, as the Creator of this world, their Holy Spirit as the executioner of their will, all mankind as citizens of the Kingdom, all the rules and regulations as the LAW OF THE KINGDOM, and all the territories that cover all the universe of His creation, to be the sovereign state of the Kingdom of Heaven. And the National Day of the Kingdom that should be remembered every week to commemorate God as Creator of the universe, who created our world in six days and rested on the seventh. So is the Sabbath or the seventh-day of the week had ever been instituted ever since the beginning of Creation as the National Day of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Thus it is, as well as all of us have been citizens of our own country respectively, to obey all the rules and regulations of the related country, and to commemorate its National Day every year, then as citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven that covers this earth up to the remotest part of it in the universe, we are also obliged to obey the Law of the Kingdom of God and its Rules of implementation in Testimony of Jesus, which the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY (of Rev. 19 : 10).

Basic Law of the Ten Commandments
contains the Character and the Will of the
Law Giver

The LAW in general consists of a Basic Law, to show the image of the character and the will of the Law Giver. This Basic Law could not stand alone. It must be complemented by the Rules of Implementation of the Law that is to follow successively from time to time along the history of mankind on the earth. Since character and the will of God as the Law Giver never change, then the Basic Law of God is immutable. This is the principle that should be kept in mind. Nevertheless, such principle could not apply with the countries of the world, because their law givers are only mortals, whose lives are changeable from time to time. Therefore, when the character and the will changed with the changing of the successive law givers of the nations, then their basic law would have been amended at time and again accordingly to suit their will.

However, the Basic Law of the Kingdom of Heaven is immutable, because as well as the Lord God Himself could never die, His character and will specified in the Ten Commandments of the Decalogue would also never change. They are immutable. This is the same Law of the ten Commandments that ever the first time was introduced to our ancestors Adam and Eve in the their garden home of Eden, ever since the beginning of their creation on the earth. The same Law was then successively passed to their generations even up to this time of the end.

Through the Bible as the Word of God we have been informed, that the same Law of the Ten Commandments had for a long time become the rules and regulations of the people of God on the outer space of the universe. Those people had never fallen in sin even up to this very day. Whereas our world, which is just the last created ever since some 6000 years ago, ever since the beginning of its creation should have fallen so deep in sin for transgressing the Law, even up to this time of the end.

Complemented with
the Rules of Implementation

It is the rule of law that every Basic Law of a nation should have been complemented with the Rules of Implementation. So is the Law of the Kingdom of Heaven that should have been complemented. To this end Moses, the prophet, in his capacity as a law scientist and the historian of the creation of the world ever said :

“The secret things belong unto the Lord our God : but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this l a w.” – Deuteronomy 29 : 29.

Those things revealed are to be found in the whole Bible. And they belong to us and to our children of this time of the end that we may obey and do all the things of those written in the Ten Commandments of the basic Law. Thus it is, that all things of the Bible of the Old and the New Testaments, which have been fully interpreted by the end time prophets of those prophesied in Amos 3 : 7 into the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY of Revelation 19 : 10, should become ours to obey and to do, because they are the rules of implementation of the Law of the Ten Commandments.

We have to know that not all things revealed in the Bible could directly be understood, because there are there several prophecies of the Old Testament prophets, several parables of Jesus and several more prophetic words in the book of Revelation, which are yet to be interpreted in the time of the end by the end time prophets of those mentioned in Amos 3 : 7.

However, those secret things belong to God alone, because beside they are not to be found in the Bible, the servants of the Lord were not permitted to write them for us in the Bible. To this John the Revelator ever wrote of his own experience here below :

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud : and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire : ……………. And he cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth : and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write : and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not.” – Revelation 10 : 1, 4.

Those things uttered by the seven thunders could not be found in the book of Revelation, because John was not permitted to write them for us. And the secret things of those seven thunders belong to the Lord God only.

Whereas we should have also to understand, that the Bible with all the rules of implementation of the Law here on earth could not apply to those living in the outer space of the universe, because there are no sinners there in need of any rule of law to guide them to their repentance. They would have their own rules of implementation of the Law, which would be totally different from ours.

We know that soon after Adam and Eve fell in sin, the Lord would have provided for them the rules of implementation of the law to enable them repent from falling further on in their transgression of the Law. Such rules of implementation of the Law are not known in the kingdoms of those living in the outer space of the universe. Thus it is that here is the main difference between us as citizens of the kingdom of God on earth and those of the same citizenship living in the outer space of the universe.

How is the Bible Divided
Under the light of the law science

“The secret things belong unto
the Lord our God : but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this Law.” –
Deuteronomy 29 : 29

From Moses’ statement in Deuteronomy 29 : 29 above, we may understand that Moses has divided the Bible into two main divisions, namely the Law of Ten Commandments on the first division, and all the rules of implementation of the Law on the other one. The Ten Commandments of the Law, though, cover only one page of paper of the Bible, whereas the rules of implementation of It would have covered all the Bible, even more to include the interpretations of all the secret things of the Bible by the end time prophets of those mentioned in Amos 3 : 7, into the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY of Revelation 19 : 10. The way of dividing the Bible into such divisions is not only taught by Moses, but even by some other servants of the Lord, who had ever provided the Bible for us ever since the beginning. Let us read their statements here below :

[1] David, the prophet, who wrote his statements as follows :

“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the Law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies and that seek him with the whole heart.” — Psalm 119 : 1, 2.

“O how love I thy Law ! It is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made wiser than mine enemies : for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers : for thy testimonies are my meditation.” – Psalm 119 : 97 – 99.

The Law of God or His Commandments mentioned above are none other than the Basic Law of the Ten Commandments only. And His testimonies are none other than the rules of implementation of the basic Law.

[2] Prophet Isaiah wrote in the following words :

“To the Law and to the testimony: If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”— Isaiah 8 : 20.

The Law is the law of the Ten Commandments, and the testimony means all the rules of implementation of the basic Law. In the time of prophet Isaiah Jesus’ name was not as yet known. Therefore, instead of mentioning “the testimony of Jesus,” he only mentioned it “the testimony.”

[3] Matthew as apostle of God ever wrote :

“Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this is the Law and the prophets.” – Matthew 7 : 12.

The law mentioned by the apostle is none other than the Law of the Ten Commandments as the basic Law. Whereas the prophets mentioned are all the writings of the Old Testament prophets. In the life time of the apostle the scriptures of the New Testament Bible were not as yet complete available in their midst.

[4] John the Revelator ever wrote in the following words :

“And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” – Revelation 12 : 17.

The commandments of God mentioned by the apostle John would be none other the basic Law only, and the testimony of Jesus Christ is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Read Revelation 19 : 10. So you will see that the testimony containing the rules of implementation of the basic Law developed on and on up to this time of the end. The name is also developing : first from the testimony, to the testimony of Jesus Christ, and stop at the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY of Rev. 19 : 10. Let us also understand that this SPIRIT OF PROPHECY contains all the messages provided by the end time prophets of Amos 3 : 7.

The fact is clear now, that the Lord God Himself had guided all His servants, both during the time of the Old and the New Testament, even up to this time of the end. That they as divinely appointed writers of His message, could also think law scientifically to provide the message for us in this time of the end. Therefore, not only Moses is known as a law scientist ever since the first the Bible was written by him sometime after 1500 B.C, to have it divided into two divisions : (a). the basic law of the Ten Commandments and (b). the Testimony or Testimony of Jesus Christ, but even Isaiah, Matthew, and John the Revelator had been inspired to do the same. Ten Commandments of the Decalogue have their origin with the God Himself. But all the rules of implementation of the Law, which were developed ever since the beginning even up to now, came from Jesus the Son. Jesus is the Author of all the Words in the Bible and in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, because He had inspired all the divinely appointed writers to provide for us His Words.

GOD, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit,
and their respective work

“There are t h r e e living persons of the heavenly trio; in the name of these three great powers — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized………..” – Evangelism, p. 615.

Every Christian must know and understand of the Three Great Powers and their works in Heaven. However, their respective work seems not as yet fully convinced among us. We present them again herewith as those taught in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.

[1] Creator and Author of the basic Law of the Ten Commandments

“The Ten Commandments were spoken by GOD HIMSELF, and were written by His own hand. They are of divine, and not of human composition.” — The Great Controversy, p. 5, 6.

[2] The Author of the Holy Scriptures of the Bible.

“But the Bible, with its God-given truths expressed in the language of men, presents a union of the divine and the human. Such a union existed in the nature of Christ, who was the Son of God and the Son of man. Thus it is true of the Bible, as it was of Christ, that “the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.” – John 1 : 14 – The Great Controversy, p. 6.

The way of how Christ cooperated with men to have the Bible written in the past. To this the servant of the Lord Mrs. White said :

“The Bible is written by inspired men, but it is not God’s mode of thought and expression. It is that of humanity. God, as a writer, is not represented. Men will often say such an expression is not like God. But God has not put Himself in words, in logic, in rhetoric, on trial in the Bible. The writers of the Bible were God’s penmen, not His pen. Look at the different writers.

“It is not the words of the Bible that are inspired, but the men that are inspired. Inspiration acts not on the man’s words or his expressions but on the man himself, who, under the influence of the Holy Ghost, is imbued with thoughts. But the words receive the impress of the individual mind. The divine mind is diffused. The divine mind and will is combined with the human mind and will; thus the utterances of the man are the word of God.” – Manuscript 24, 1886 – 1 Selected Messages, p. 21.

“There is variety in a tree, there are scarcely two leaves just alike. Yet this variety adds to the perfection of the tree as a whole. In our Bible, we might ask, Why need Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the Gospels, why need the Acts of the Apostles, and the variety of writers in the Epistles, go over the same thing ?

“The Lord gave His word in just the way He wanted it to come. He gave it through different writers, each having his own individuality, though going over the same history. Their testimonies are brought together in one Book, and are like the testimonies in a social meeting………………….

“The Creator of all ideas may impress different minds with the same thought, but each may express it in a different way, yet without contradiction. The fact than this difference exists should not perplex or confuse us. It is seldom that two persons will view and express truth in the very same way. Each dwells on particular points which his constitution and education have fitted him to appreciate. The sunlight falling upon the different objects gives those objects a different hue.” — 1 Selected Messages, pp. 21, 22.

The whole Bible with the exception of the law of the Ten Commandments, is the testimony of Jesus Christ. This should be understood, because all of those were coming from Jesus Himself. And thus is the truth as those prophesied ever since through prophet Isaiah in Isaiah 8 : 20.

[3] As men’s Guide, into the knowledge of the Ten Commandments and their rules of implementation in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.

Through His servants Jesus said :
“Howbeit, when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth : for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will shew you things to come.” – John 16 : 13.

“In ancient times God spoke to men by the mouth of prophets and apostles. In these days He speaks to them by the testimonies of His Spirit. There was never a time when God instructed His people more earnestly than He instructs them now concerning His will, and the course that He would have them pursue.” – Evangelism, pp. 255, 256.

Since Jesus did not communicate directly with His servant here on earth, but only through His Spirit of Truth, then all the truths written by her she called, the Testimony of Jesus Christ or the Testimony of His Spirit.

Let it be noted that o n l y the Ten Commandments of the basic Law that are the Words the Father, which ever came out of His mind and uttered by His Own mouth, and then written by His Own hand. All other things in the Bible, include all their interpretations by the end time prophets in The SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, are of Jesus, the Son. They were all written by His divinely appointed servants : the prophets and the apostles.

The divinely appointed ministry
and their work

Mrs. White, in her clarification on Paul’ statement in Ephesian 4 : 11 – 14, wrote here below,

“God has a church, and she has a divinely appointed ministry. “And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.” — Testimonies to Ministers, p. 52.

After the angel of Laodicea and all his diehard followers were spewed out of Jesus’ mouth sometime in 1935, then ever since the parables of Jesus in Mathew 20 : 1 – 16, which is specifically related to our own fate began to be revealed. We are now living in the time of the message of the “Eleventh-hour Call.” Just in this time many more people would be called in by the message, but only few would be chosen. That is, there are to be more people alerted by the message to join in with the five wise virgins or the wheat categorized ones, but only a few, only 144.000 in number that shall be chosen into the elected ones. Those virgins with guile in their mouth could not be chosen into the numbered company.

Since only the wise virgins or those of wheat categorized ones, who are known of their steadfastness to keep the Law and its Rules of implementation in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, that are to be chosen into the divinely appointed ministry of God in the future. Thus it is, that Paul’s statement in Ephesian 4 : 11 – 14 would be more effectively applied to them in the future, when the 144.000 elected servants of God would have been ready to carry out the third angel message unto all the word up to the close of probation in the heavenly sanctuary.

The Church of God that consists of those wise virgins or the wheat categorized people, according to her function should be divided in only two divisions :

The body of Christ that comprises all the laymen, and
The divinely appointed ministry of those the prophets, the apostles, the evangelists, pastors and teachers. All the apostles had died in the first century. The prophets, Mrs. E.G. White and Bro. Victor T. Houteff, are the founders of the Laodicean Church. Both servants of the Lord had died several years ago. But their legacies left are the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY publications, which is the combination of the message of the Spirit of Prophecy by Mrs. White and the message of the Shepherd’s Rod by Bro. Victor T. Houteff. Read Early Writings, p. 277.

In the process of developing the body of Christ or edifying the moral character of those people of God, the evangelists, pastors and teachers are warned as follows :

“What is the work of the minister of the gospel ? It is to rightly divide the word of truth; not to invent a new gospel, but to rightly divide the gospel already committed to them.”— Review and Herald, September 11, 1888.

“Ministers should present the sure word of prophecy as the foundation of the faith of Seventh-day Adventist. The prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation should be carefully studied, and in connection with them the words, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” — Gospel Workers, p. 148.

That is, those divinely appointed evangelists, pastors, and teachers, are obliged to teach o n l y the Bible and the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY to the people. They are not allowed to make any interpretation of their own, that could be resulted in a new gospel. This means, they are not allowed to be implicated in adding to or subtracting something from the Bible and the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY that could have changed the meaning of the message found therein. They are fully accountable to the Lord God for maintaining the purity of the message entrusted to their care. Thus it is, that the Bible and the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY as legacies of the apostles, and the prophets, even of those founders of the Laodicean Church could be purely preserved and maintained under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, “………… till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.” — Testimonies to Ministers, p. 52.

Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit

“Howbeit, when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself ; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak : and he will shew you things to come.” — John 16 : 13.

The Holy Spirit or the Spirit of truth had for a long time come ever since the day of Pentecost in the year 31, not long after Jesus returned to Heaven. Its function is to guide us into all truth and to show us the things to come. But how is the Holy Spirit leading and showing us the all truth and the things to come ?

From the historical fact we know that Jesus had sent the Holy Spirit to directly guide the apostles to provide for us the scriptures of the New Testament. And even through Jesus and His Holy Spirit Mrs. White and Bro. Houteff had come to provide us with the so-called the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Suppose the divinely appointed ministry of this time of the end fail to get the guiding hand of the Lord and His Spirit, how could it be, that the people of God who are of so many nationalities background willing to be edified morally ? And even if the divinely appointed ministry did not get the guiding hand of Jesus through His Spirit, who could guarantee that the Bible and the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY proclaimed in our midst in this time of the end are truly free of human error of adding to or subtracting something from the message ? The servant of the Lord, Mrs. White was ever inspired to warn us in the following words :

“The writers of the Bible were God’s penmen, not His pen. Look at the different writers.

Thus it is, how the Holy Spirit had ever led us into all truth, and how we have been informed of the things to come just in this time of the end. God’s providence had ever led us, even every one of us, to the Law and the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY that is now invested with this laymen-movement of Davidian SDA. God’s providence only that ever led us up to the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY as the only saving hand of the Lord Jesus in this time of the end. Nevertheless, the essence of the true religion as here narrated, is no more as beautiful as it should be, because as soon as Mrs. White as founder of the Church and Bro. Victor T. Houteff as founder of the Laymen movement died, those entrusted with the capacity to carry out the work, have again betrayed their trust.

The historical facts show, that though Mrs. White and Bro. Houteff up to their end as divinely appointed prophets, they had never before betrayed their trust. However, as soon as they died the General Conference of SDA then opposed Houteff and his message of the Shepherd’s Rod. They failed to know that by opposing the message of the Rod, they would have failed to get revival and reformation carried out in their midst as those proclaimed by Mrs. White in the Review and Herald of Feb. 25, 1902.

Whereas as soon as Bro. Houteff died in 1955, his divinely appointed ministers and teachers then established several Mount Carmel Centers in America, to accommodate the laymen of his followers. They have founded their re-establishment of the Mount Carmel Centers upon the Leviticus of Davidian SDA. Whereas they failed to know that the Leviticus of Davidian SDA would be just effectively applied in the future kingdom of the 144.000 in the Palestine. Not now. They forget to know that according to the rules of the Leviticus of DSDA, the top management of the Organization must be led by a President (not a vice President). And since no death is known in the future Kingdom, then who is to be represented by those Vice Presidents of the Mount Carmel Centers of Davidian SDA Headquarters in America today ?

How the Divinely appointed ministry of the Headquarters of Davidian SDA betrayed their appointment

The servant of the Lord, Bro. Houteff had ever before warned in the following words :

“Everything that can be done against God’s message of today will be done with even a greater vengeance than was manifest against Heaven’s message in the days of Christ’s first advent, for the Devil knows that if he loses now, he loses forever — that he is to have no other chance. Unparalleled, therefore, is the urgency that every eleventh-hour church member now quickly and solidly brace himself against the Enemy’s effort to deliver a knockout blow. We must be alert, too, to realize that the blow is to come from surprisingly unsuspected foes — from professed friends of the gospel, who are no less pious than were the priests in Christ’s day. It is, moreover, but to be expected that the Adversary will employ every agency possible to prevent the Lord from disclosing to view His now obscure 144.000 first fruit servants, who are to go gather in the second fruits (Revelation 7 : 9). The Enemy will try everything conceivable to confuse, becloud, and cover up the Truth, especially on the subject of the 144.000.” — The White House Recruiter, p. 33.

All believers of the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY recognized that after the death of Bro. Houteff in 1955, Mrs. Houteff has been appointed Vice President to succeed her husband. And she was the culprit of all the troubles occurred ever since, when she proclaimed to the public that the establishment of the kingdom would be in 1959. The problems seemed more and more complicated, that at the end the Headquarters in Waco, Texas, should have been dissolved and then sold to the Presbyterian Church in 1962.

The tragic events had for several years paralyzed the activities of the people of Davidian SDA, so that they were as if fallen knockout by a blow delivered at them by the Enemy. Thus it is that since then all the Rod believers should have been scattered to several places in the United States of America, until later the original location of the Mount Carmel Center in Texas could be bought back and then be re-established in 1991.

Whereas through the same Rod message Bro. Houteff had ever before warned, that “…… the blow is to come from surprisingly unsuspected foes — from professed friends of the gospel, who are no less pious than were the priests in Christ’s day.” — The White House Recruiter, p. 33.

The culprit of the second trouble just has its origin with the professed friends of the gospel, who are no less pious than were the priests in Christ’s day. They are surprisingly unsuspected, because they are professed friends of the gospel. Whereas they are actually agents of the Enemy within our own ranks. But how could they be identified among us now ? Bro. Houteff gave us the clue to identify them as follows, that : (a). they are professed friends of the gospel, (b) they are no less pious than were the Jewish priests of the Sanhedrin in the time of Jesus. In real sense they are just the antitypical Sanhedrin of today. Their piety is not same to that of Jesus, but just the same to that of the Jewish priests and the Pharisees in the time of Jesus, who were very much against Jesus. This means, that they are inevitably none other than the narrow-minded fundamentalists Davidians SDA leaders in America today. All these would have been clearly identified by their way of teaching the message of the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Due to their concept of narrow-minded fundamentalism that must be strictly maintained to prevent their ministers and teachers from being implicated in sin of adding to or subtracting something from the message as those stipulated in Revelation 22 : 18, 19. Then here are the unwritten rules of them that must also be known among us :

[1] Evangelists, pastors, and teachers, who have talent to write and to dig deeper and deeper into the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY to present to the people in writing, are not allowed to do so, u n t i l the concept of those writings get the voice of approval from Bible research Committee of the Organization.

[2] They wish that pastors, teachers and all the evangelists teach only from the booklets of the Shepherd’s Rod publications without adding to or subtracting anything out of them.

[3] Even in printing of the booklets of the Shepherd’s Rod publications, they have to abide by the original format.

[4] The evangelists, pastors and teachers are not allowed to teach using charts, symbols, or any representation of their own made, except of all those already provided us by Bro. Houteff.

It seems very clear now that the narrow-minded fundamentalist leaders in Waco, Texas, are not as yet aware, that not only the prophets (Ellen G. White and Victor T. Houteff) were ever under the guidance of Jesus and His holy Spirit, but even all the divinely appointed ministry as well.

Since no more willing to dig deeper and deeper into the mine of truth, which is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, most Davidians today put their trust more on the teachings of their respective Organization. They then again unwittingly fall into sin prophesied by prophet Jeremiah : “Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departed from the Lord.” – Jeremiah 17 : 5. They seemed already satisfied with the surface truth. And here is the way of why heresies coming in the midst of the wise categorized virgins of the Laodicean Church. And then how the “chaff” categorized Davidians of Revelation 14 : 5 could have been identified. The main problems which have misled our people up to this time are as follows:

Who are those “Chaff categorized Davidians” with guile in their mouth (Rev 14 : 5) ; and how to identify them in our midst.
Why were only vice President and not President leading at the top management of the Organization of Davidian SDA Headquarters in America ?
How could an inexperienced man be chosen and then ordained as “ordained minister” without first considering the voice of local elders ?
Why are the talented workers not allowed to write books ?
Why is “time setting” opposed by the leaders of Davidian SDA in America?
Why we are not allowed to know when the coming of Jesus is near ?
Who is the antitypical Sanhedrin of today, with their narrow-minded fundamentalism taught among us ?
Why not allowing the teachers and ministers to use Charts, Symbols, and all kind of representations of their own, to help them teaching the message ? Whereas Mrs. White already said : “BY THE USE OF CHARTS, SYMBOLS, AND REPRESENTATIONS OF VARIOUS KINDS, and THE MINISTER CAN MAKE THE TRUTH STAND OUT CLEARLY AND DISTICTLY. THIS IS A HELP, AND IN HARMONY WITH THE WORD OF GOD.” – GOSPEL WORKERS, p. 355.

Those problems mentioned above have been left unanswered. Only for the pretext that they are not available written in the message. Whereas if only will they make a little painstaking effort to find the solution, they should have found the answer. Thus may it be understood that actually the Holy Spirit is no more now leading at the Mount Carmel Centers in America. To this end Mrs. White has said :

“Many who are serving as gospel ministers need to study the Word. Revelation means something revealed, which all are to understand. Dig deep for the truth. Plead with the Lord for an understanding of His Word. ………………. Never rest satisfied with a partial knowledge of the truth, pieced out with some weak suppositions.” — Manuscript Releases, vol. 1, p. 38.

“Ignorance is no excuse now for the transgression of the law. The light shines clearly, and none need be ignorant, for the great God Himself is man‘s instructor.” — Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 162.

So many failures of the Organization appointed ministry of Davidian SDA in Waco Texas today, would be enough to show us, that the consequent result of the Jewish narrow-minded fundamentalism embraced by them, they should have been unwittingly implicated in the sin stipulated by John the Revelator in Revelation 22 : 18, 19. Thus instead of preserving the purity of the message in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, they are just having been implicated in the sin of adding to and subtracting something from the message. And this is the sin that prevents the Lord from letting the 144.000 emerge in their midst. Bro. Houteff warned : “The Enemy will try everything conceivable to confuse, becloud, and cover up the Truth, especially on the subject of the 144.000.” — The White House Recruiter, p. 33.

However, due to the fact that the time is running so fast, whereas all the prophecies of the Old Testament and the book of Revelation are to meet their fulfillment on time in speedy succession one after the other, then the Lord would have taken the reign in His hand, and the following statement would have soon to be fulfilled among us, when Mrs. White said :

“God will arouse His people; if other means fail, heresies will come in among them, which will s i f t them, separating the c h a f f (not tares) from the w h e a t. The Lord calls upon all who believe His word to awake out of sleep. Precious light has come, appropriate for this time. It is Bible truth, showing the perils that are right upon us. This light should lead us to a diligent study of the Scriptures and a most critical examination of the positions which we hold.” – 5 Testimonies for the Church, pp. 707 – 708. (In brackets added)

The heresies that now exist among the people affiliated with the Mount Carmel Center in Waco, Texas, would certainly develop on and on up to a time when those wheat categorized Davidians would have left alone their former leadership and their diehard followers once and for good. And then the work of the SPIRIT OF TRUTH would be more productive than ever before in our midst, when “…… More than one thousand will soon be converted in o n e day, most of whom will trace their first convictions to the reading of our publications.” — Review and Herald, Nov. 10, 1885. And just from among these later converts shall emerge the first fruit servants of the Lord Jesus.

The five wise virgins or
the wheat are yet to be sifted

“God will arouse His people; if other means fail, heresies will come in among them, which will s i f t them, separating the c h a f f (not tares) from the w h e a t. The Lord calls upon all who believe His word to awake out of sleep. Precious light has come, appropriate for this time.” — 5 Testimonies for the Church, pp. 707.

From the parable of Jesus of the ten virgins, may it be clear how the people of God ever since the time of Miller for several times have been sifted even up to this very day. The result of the first sifting emerged in 1844, when those categorized wise virgins emerged with their founder Mrs. White as Seventh-day Advents of the Laodicean Church. Whereas those categorized foolish virgins have been left in partial darkness, and be called “Babylon.” The second sifting took place ever since 1888, and the result is that again our people of SDA have been represented as ten virgins who were all sleepy and fall asleep up to 1929 when the Call came through the message of the Shepherd’s Rod. And ever since 1929 when the third sifting took place, the result began to be seen in 1935, when the wise virgins then moved to Waco, Texas, to have the Organization of the General Conference of SDA reorganized there, to meet the fulfillment of the Call for a spiritual revival and reformation of those mentioned in the Review & Herald, February 25, 1902.

“God will arouse His people” mentioned in 5 Testimonies for the Church, p. 707 above, could no more apply to SDA people as a whole, because ever since 1935 when reorganization of the General Conference of SDA took place, the angel of Laodicea and most of his diehard followers have been spewed out of Jesus’ mouth. Thus, it is unavoidable to conclude that God will arouse all the Davidians alone, because they are the only wise categorized virgins in the Laodicean Church.

But due to the fact that there are yet several sects of Davidianism in America at this time and even in Jakarta, INDONESIA as well, someone may ask further : To whom is the statement addressed actually ? To answer such a question, let us beware, that up to the time he died in 1955, Bro. Houteff, who had been the mouth piece of God during the rest of his life time, acknowledged only o n e General Association of Davidian SDA, located in Waco, Texas, USA., with all its associations scattered in many parts of the world. Therefore, the spiritual identities of those wise virgins with guile in the mouth, were not as yet known during his life time. But as soon as after he died in 1955 those Davidians with guile in their mouth would have been identified.

For identifying those Davidians with guile in their mouths, there is to be a fourth sifting in our midst. The Lord Jesus Himself will let heresies coming in among us, which will sift us, separating the chaff (not tares) from the wheat. The Lord calls upon all Davidians, who believe His word to awake out of sleep. Precious light has come, appropriate for this time.

Since in a glance the spiritual identities of all the wise virgins, or the wheat categorized ones are the same, no one could have distinguished those wise ones having guile in their mouth from the rest of their fellow believers. This is because all those wise virgins of Davidian SDA having embraced the same faith upon the following subjects of doctrinal points of view :

Having the Law of the Ten Commandments as the basic Law and its Rules of Implementation in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY
Having the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY which is the combination of the message of the third angel of Revelation 14 and the message of the Shepherd’s Rod of Revelation 18 : 1, which is to enlighten the whole world with its glory.
Keepers of the law of health reform of 1863 by Mrs. White and the Dress Reform by Bro. Houteff.
Striving with all the power God has given us to be among the 144.000 elected saints of God.
Recognizing the General Association of Davidian SDA in its location in Waco, Texas, USA as the only location found in the prophecy for the re-organization of the General Conference of SDA in 1935.

The unity of faith under the leadership of the servant of God up to the time he died in 1955, was so strong. It is impossible for us to find the wise virgin with guile in their mouth during his leadership. Therefore, the wise virgins of those categorized “chaff” could be identified only a f t e r the death of Bro. Houteff in 1955. And when he died the prophecy of Zechariah 13 : 7 began to be fulfilled, and then Davidians of those wise categorized virgins began to be divided. The chaff categorized ones of those wise virgins with guile in the mouth on the one side, and those wise virgins of the candidates of the 144.000 elected saints of God on the other side. They would then be identified and separated, that only those wise virgins represented by “the little ones” of Zechariah 13 : 7, although scattered without any Headquarters of Davidian SDA of their own, they shall be under the guiding hand of the Lord Jesus Himself. Whereas those chaff categorized Davidians with guile in their mouth would stick to their respective Organization of Mount Carmel Center. This separation will take place after the heresies coming in their midst, and to continue up to the time of purification of the Church. But what are the heresies that could ever separate those wise virgins in this critical time of the end ?

From the fact that all those wise virgins have faith upon the same subjects mentioned above, there should be no more necessary that heresies are to be found in them. The Lord God Himself, therefore, should have awakened us to the heresies, that as the result of the narrow-minded fundamentalism embraced by those professed friends of the gospel, who are now leading at the Headquarters of Davidian SDA in Waco, Texas, USA, our people must be made awakened from slumber. It is the narrow-minded fundamentalism that has made us fallen unwittingly in sin of those stipulated in Revelation 22 : 18, 19. Whereas most of our people are yet slumbering on unaware of the situation wherein we are.

Living up to the true religion = having the practical doing of all the commandments of the Law

Jesus said :
“If ye love me, keep my commandments ! – John 14 : 15.

His servant, Mrs. White said :
“True religion means living the word in your practical life. Your profession is not of any value without the practical doing of the word.” – Testimonies to Ministers, p. 127.

Since keeping all the commandments of the Law, means the same as to live up all the word in practical life, then for us to love Jesus as Savior, we must embrace the true religion.

The problem now is how could we, even every one of us, to find the true religion, and then get the LAW and all the WORDS of Its Rules of implementation in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY ? Is it enough to have the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY which is the combination of the Spirit of Prophecy by Mrs. White and the Shepherd’s Rod message by Bro. Victor T. Houteff to be the Rules of Implementation of the Law, to be the base of our practical religion? The servant of the Lord, Mrs. White answered :

“God is leading out a people, not a few separate individuals here and there, one believing this thing, another that. Angels of God are doing the work committed to their trust. The third angel is leading out and purifying a people, and they should move with him unitedly.” — Testimonies, vol. 1, p. 207.

Though Mrs. White and Bro. Houteff as prophets of God of this time of the end have for a long time died, they will be yet represented among us by their SPIRIT OF PROPHECY publications. With the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, therefore, the divinely appointed ministers and teachers are to edify the body of Christ, who are the laymen in the Laodicean Church. Therefore, for every one of us to live a practical religion in life, both in his family and even in the whole community, just in this critical time of the end, let us always keep in mind, that

“True religion means living the word in your practical life. Your profession is not of any value without the practical doing of the word.” – Testimonies to Ministers, p. 127.

“Let ministers and people remember that gospel truth ruins if it does not save. The soul that refuses to listen to the invitation of mercy from day to day can soon listen to the most urgent appeals without an emotion stirring his soul.” – Testimonies, vol. 5, p. 134.

C o n c l u d e d

Maybe not all the teachers and ministers, who are now affiliated with the Organizations of Davidian SDA, have been implicated in sin of the Jewish priest narrow-minded fundamentalism. And although most of our Rod believers are now found on their side, in the condition of very sleepy and asleep, the Lord Jesus had promised through His servant Mrs. White : “God will arouse His people; if other means fail, heresies will come in among them, which will s i f t them, separating the c h a f f (not tares) from the w h e a t. The Lord calls upon all who believe His word to awake out of sleep. “Precious light” has come, appropriate for this time.” — 5 Testimonies for the Church, pp. 707.

The “precious light” was not as yet known by Bro. Houteff during his life time, but long before he died he had ever warned us in the following word :

“………… w e must, therefore, as teachers (not prophets) of the Shepherd’s Rod (the official publications of the Davidian SDA Association), teach only in the light of the Rod those passages which in one way or another need to be interpreted. THUS ONLY WILL ALL PRESENT TRUTH BELIEVERS EVER BECOME OF THE SAME MIND, SEEING EYE TO EYE AND SPEAKING THE SAME THINGS.“ – Fundamental Beliefs of the Davidian SDA, p. 26 (in brackets added).

The above statement by Bro. Houteff would have applied in our time after his death in 1955. This should be understood, because those to teach the message are the teachers or the ministers (not prophet). And as teachers of the Rod they are allowed to teach o n l y those passages of the message in the golden bowl of the prophecy of Zechariah chapter 4. Whereas all the secret things of the Bible have been fully interpreted into the golden bowl by the end time prophets of the prophecy of Amos 3 : 7. Thus are the teachers and ministers would have been privileged to make us having the same mind, seeing eye to eye, and speaking the same things. This is just the main identity of the 144.000 saints of God in the near future.

And for a close let us again take a moment to ponder the following warning from Jesus, when through His servant Mrs. White He said : “Ignorance is no excuse now for the transgression of the law. The light shines clearly, and none need be ignorant, for the great God Himself is man‘s instructor.” – Testimonies, vol. 3, p. 162.
