Thank you for your kind attention to the articles we sent you lately. And welcome to the study of THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY of SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. You are now become member of the world family of Seventh-Day Adventists who are now striving with all the power that God has given us to be among the 144.000, to stand on the mount Zion with the Lamb in Palestine. The servant of the Lord, Sister Ellen G. White, in her capacity as founder of the Church since the beginning, has ever warned:
“Jesus saves men, n o t in sin, but f r o m sin; and those who love Him will show their love by obedience.” — Review and Herald, vol. 6, p. 45. —
Sin is the transgression of the law. In this modern time of the end wherein the knowledge of science and technology have been so tremendously developed everywhere, the people of God should have been familiar with the knowledge of the law of God. The more we know of the law of God up to the details, the more we will know of the sin we have been committed in, even up to the smallest things of transgression. But how is the fact in all our churches in the world today? It is undeniable to admit that we should be very concerned of the spiritual declension of our Church today. The more Doctors of Theology have been produced by the high learning institutions of the Organization, the more ignorant we have been made of them. It seems clear that Satan has successfully dominating in all our churches, the Spirit of God has left many of His people, that the capacity of the heart of our people to discriminate between right and wrong has been fallen very weak.
Prior to His return to the Father in Heaven in year 31, Jesus has ever 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.
“THE ALL TRUTH” had actually come ever since the outpouring of the Spirit of Early Rain in the time of the apostles. But “THE THINGS TO COME” was not as yet come in that time, because the prophecies of the Old Testament prophets, and the book of Revelation and the parables of Jesus, would just be interpreted in the time of the end. That is why Sister White said:
“In ancient times God spoke to men by the mouth of prophets and apostles (in the Bible). In these days (in this time of the end). He speaks to them by the t e s t i m o n i e s o f H i s S p i r i t. 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, p. 255, 256 (In brackets added).
But how ironic it is that the written TESTIMONIES OF HIS SPIRIT, in THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY publications have nearly completely forgotten, whereas our people have continually been taught to respect the Bible as the only authentic WORD OF GOD above all other publications, even above the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, which contains all the TESTIMONIES OF HIS SPIRIT in the time of the end. They even deliberately deny the fact that the angel Gabriel was ever commissioned to descend to Daniel to tell him, that all the words of his prophecy would be revealed just in the time of the end :
“Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” – Daniel 12 : 9, 10.
That means just in this time of the end, in the Seventh-Day Adventist Church (or the Laodicean Church) all the prophecies of Daniel and their complement in the book of Revelation and even all the books of the Bible which meet and end in the Revelation, would be here interpreted. All the interpretations, therefore, would be found in the testimonies of God’s Spirit, which is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.
THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY is not the SPIRIT OF GOD. It is the written testimonies of the SPIRIT OF GOD presented us by the prophets of the time of the end. The ownership of the Holy Spirit is God the Father and His Son. And the written testimonies of Their Spirit here on earth, ever since the beginning were first known by the name: TESTIMONY (Isaiah
8 : 20). Then later by the name: THE PROPHETS (or the writings of the Old Testament prophets –Matthew
7 : 12), and later when Jesus’ name was already popularly known, the name again developed to become: TESTIMONIES OF JESUS CHRIST (Revelation
12 : 17). And at last in the time of the end, when THE THINGS TO COME in all the prophecies and the parables of Jesus have been interpreted, then the name becomes THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, to meet the prophetic word of Revelation 19 : 10 (margin). The prophet Isaiah said: “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 basic law or the Constitution of the kingdom of heaven, consists of Ten Commandments of God. And the Testimony or the Testimonies of Jesus Christ, or the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, is the By Laws. Here all the rules of implementation of the Law are to be found. The people of God, either here now in the time of the end, or in the time of prophet Isaiah, must first pass an investigative judgment in the heavenly sanctuary. The investigative judgment has begun in 1844, and is going on there up to the close of probation for the world in the future. Since the Law of Ten Commandments is never changed, the people of the Old Testament time will be judged according to the Law and the Testimony available in their life time. Though you and I will also be judged by the same Law, but not by the same Testimony, because the Testimony of Isaiah’s time has now been developed to such extent in THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Let us remember the following words by the angel Gabriel to Daniel:
“Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” – Daniel 12 : 9, 10.
The prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation, and even all other prophecies of the prophets and the parables of Jesus, have now been interpreted into THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. The wise among us in the Church will be purified, and made white, and tried, because they have based their faith upon the Law and THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. But none of the wicked shall understand, because they based their faith only upon the Bible, specifically the New Testament Scriptures. Therefore, let not anyone of us boast that due to his thoroughly obeying the ALL TRUTH in the Bible, and has been living up to all Jesus’ character as shown during His mission among men on the earth, that he would be worthy of salvation. The servant of the Lord has ever warned: “In ancient times God spoke to men by the mouth of prophets and apostles (in the Bible). In these days (in this time of the end) He speaks to them by the t e s t i m o n i e s o f H i s S p i r i t. 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, p. 255, 256 (In brackets added).
We are now living in the time of the end wherein the ALL TRUTH and THE THINGS TO COME promised us by the Lord in John 16 : 13 have now been fully available in our midst. As the third angel’s message of Revelation 14 Sister White has come with the ALL TRUTH. And as the message of the angel of Revelation 18 : 1, Brother Victor T. Houteff also has come with the THINGS TO COME to meet its prophetic word in the book of Revelation as follows:
“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.” – Revelation 18 : 1.
And the founder of the Church, Mrs. Ellen G. White, in her interpretation of the verse, ever said:
“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.…………..This message seemed to be an addition to the third message, joining it as the midnight cry joined the second angel’s message in 1844.” – Early Writings, p. 277.
Laodicean
Church, which symbolizes The General Conference of SDA and all its ministers in the world.
Seventh-Day Adventists should have known for sure that the third angel’s message of Revelation 14, symbolizes the message of the Spirit of Prophecy by Sister Ellen G. White. The Spirit of Prophecy alone is not powerful enough to enlighten the earth. It must be combined with the message of the Shepherd’s Rod of the angel of Revelation 18 : 1 by Brother Victor T. Houteff. So by the combination of those two messages in the so-called THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY of Revelation
19 : 10 (margin) then is the earth to be enlightened, beginning in our own
Church of
Seventh – day Adventist. Only then could we say as did the prophet David of old, when he said: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” – Psalm 119 : 105.
However, if the last message of the angel of Revelation 18 : 1 in the Shepherd’s Rod publications continues to be rejected in the churches, then you may be sure that the word of the ALL TRUTH in the Spirit of Prophecy of Mrs. White could never be fully digged out and digested. And you may lose all the knowledge of the THINGS TO COME, to direct you to the coming of Jesus, either to stand with the 144.000 on mount Zion in Palestine, or to His second coming later in the clouds of heaven.
The Spiritual identity of the people of God in the time of the end could be found in the Revelation 12 : 17;
19 : 10 (margin). We have been identified ever since the beginning as keepers of the Law of Ten Commandments, and the Testimonies of Jesus Christ, which have been developed into THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Prior to the coming of the last message of the angel of Revelation 18 : 1 in 1929, to develop the Spirit of Prophecy of Rev. 14 into becoming THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY of
Rev 19 : 10 (margin), we have been known in the world as the only Church with the three angels’ messages to proclaim to the world. So the symbol attached to all the proclamation of our message, is a logo of Three Angels Flying in the Midst of Heaven.
Since for years our people seemed to be so indifferent on the symbol and its meaning, so that later when it was suddenly changed into A Flaming Fire upon a Book, we even do not know what to do. Now our symbol or logo has been changed. Actually it is not yet time for the symbol or logo to be changed, because the objective of the messages of the three prophetic angels has not as yet achieved. If the symbol should have been changed, then another prophetic angel must be added to the logo as standing on the earth. This is more fitly representing the angel of Revelation 18 : 1, to unite his voice with the third angel’s message (or the three angels’ messages).
Now with the change of logo to a new one of A Flaming Fire upon a Book, let our people be convinced that the messages of the four prophetic angels have been lost sight of by our leaders, in the General Conference of SDA. No more of them seem to care to the warning given us by the servant of the Lord, when she said:
“In ancient times God spoke to men by the mouth of prophets and apostles (in the Bible). In these days (in this time of the end). He speaks to them by the t e s t i m o n i e s o f H i s S p i r i t. 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, p. 255, 256 (In brackets added).
Therefore, instead of maintaining our identities as keepers of the Law and the Testimony of Jesus Christ which is THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, we are now unconsciously enforced by the leaders to return to the Bible. And since the prophecies of the Old Testament Scriptures and the Book of Revelation are themselves so mysterious for them to reveal, our people then bit by bit be led to return to the Bible, specifically to the New Testament Scriptures only. And so instead of teaching us the third angel’s message of the Investigative Judgment in the heavenly sanctuary, which has begun at the end of the 2.300 prophetic days of Daniel 8 : 14, they are now joining in with the fallen Churches outside to proclaim to the whole world the second coming of Jesus of 1 Thessalonians 4 : 16 – 18.
Thus is the spiritual declension of our people, Seventh-Day Adventists, in this time of the end that should have been divided into two classes of people: the five wise virgins on the one side, and the five foolish virgins on the other side. And due to lack of understanding of the prophecies of Daniel and the others, the angel Gabriel had categorized those foolish virgins as the wicked ones. Thus is our Church divided: The leadership of the Organization and their diehard followers would return to the Bible and the Bible only to be the foundation of their faith, and on the other side are the Seventh-Day Adventists of the true faith, who are still keeping tightly the Law and the Testimonies of Jesus Christ, which is The SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. And in the practical religion of the two peoples, those categorized wise virgins would strive with all their power to be among the 144.000 to stand on the mount Zion with the Lamb, whereas the wicked ones would be waiting to see Jesus at His second coming in the clouds of heaven, as taught by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4 : 16 – 18, without first being purified, made white, and tried as those stated in Daniel 12 : 9, 10.
