Remember “I Am Saved By the Blood of The Lamb, Jesus Christ is My Savior”

JESUS IS ALIVE TODAY…HE LIVES! Which means the devil and his angels are doomed.

Act 17:26  And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; Act 17:27  That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 

The Mystery of Salvation, began in Heaven with A PLAN, to END THE WAR Against God’s Government in Heaven. When God’s Holy Spirit is speaking in your ear, He is doing so because He knows the devil’s time is short, and the devil is going around like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour with his lies.

THE TIME LINE: for the devil to make his case AGAINST JESUS CHRIST THE JEW, makes the devil and his angels….ANTI-Christ. . . anti-Christians….and this talking serpent, whispers in our ears…you are not good enough, you are not good enough, until the air explodes with anger against those who hate their CREATOR. . . . God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

By denying the voice of the HOLY SPIRIT, mankind has stepped into a downhill path, of trying ways to forget, even if it is in being DISTRACTED, from that Holy Voice of Jesus Christ. . . calling us to come home.

The air is full of the smell of last night’s Spring rain, the lawn is covered with dew, the birds are calling and robins are searching for breakfast in the garden. The answer to prayer, brought rain, so needed because of local wild fires. . . and yes, the congregation for the Serpentine Prophecies last night, could hear the rain begin to fall, as I rushed to the glass doors to peer out, at the rain and laugh! Even with a sigh of relief!

Last night we began to see how the world wandered with mystics, searching like Plato, to find the cause of death. . . and “where do we go when we walk out the door. . .to die or rest in peace until the Day, the Lord comes to wake us up from the grave?

What a relief to know our DNA and record is in the Lords hand. . . kept for the very purpose to give us our new bodies, to unite with soul. Knowing the DEAD IN CHRIST RISE FIRST FROM THEIR PLACE OF REST, the grave….1Th_4:16  For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

This SPECIAL RESURRECTION was predicted by GOD through the Prophet DANIEL, when Daniel was in Babylon.

Dan 12:1  And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 

Dan 12:2  And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 

Dan 12:3  And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. [How do you become A STAR? by turning many to righteousness.]
Dan 12:4  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 

And, Who do we turn to in the time of the end? If not JESUS, God the Father and The Holy Spirit then who?

Are we going to be like the Jewish Priest’s who brought Jesus to Pilate, so the Romans could be blamed from crucifying JESUS?

If you had a little lamb, a pet cat, or animal you loved, would you eat it, would you kill it, or would you take very much care in loving it?

If you can love a pet, then you can LOVE THE LORD, for being so patient with us, not willing that any should be lost. . . Jesus listened to the plea of one robber on the cross next to him. . .”Please remember me when you come into your kingdom?” The thief on the cross only had to speak to Jesus, at the name of JESUS, all who call upon the name of GOD, shall be forgiven, shall be remembered, shall be saved. . .because you want to come a believer…in a life after death. . .for living in the last days. . .when conflicts are WON, by asking JESUS to save us.

Death has no sting, for those who understand the PLAN and MYSTERY OF GOD, in the last days. . . showing He engraved HIS TEN LAWS, by HIS OWN HAND, in STONE, while Jesus wrote a message to men caught in sin, in the sand. Sand that can be blown away by the wind. Sand that no one can read, the sins that are forgiven, by a loving GOD who awaits to meet them in heaven.

The worst of forgiven sinners, find themselves the closest to JESUS in the end. The murderer Moses, the wandering child who spent their inheirtance on the worldly attractions, who came home be forgiven by His father, while his brother brooded, for the brother had done the work for two, while prodigal son wandered and squandered his inheirtance.

What love is this? When a father forgives HIS SON?

I Peter 1 four….gives us great light in the darkness of this hour…

1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 
1Pe 1:4  To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 1Pe 1:5  Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1Pe 1:6  Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 
1Pe 1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 
1Pe 1:8  Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 1Pe 1:9  Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 

I was asked, “How do we get our names into The Book of life?” It’s so easy…call upon the name of GOD. HE HEARS and ANSWERS your cry for help, just as he did, at the cross, for the thief, who wanted to be with JESUS when HIS KINGDOM CAME! That can be YOU! TOO!

GOD I need you! Jesus help me! Send me your Holy Spirit!

Must a crisis come before we get down . . . on our knees? and LOOK UP for our redemption draws near! Jesus paid the price for our REDEMPTION! get it? He placed us in the chaos and confusion, hoping we will like OUR REWARD.

Mar_9:41  For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

Luk_6:35  But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Rev_22:12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Jesus returns with REWARDS, for the smallest kindness to a stranger.

Our reward is an inheritance in Paradise. . . to eat at the Tree of Life, to drink of the Water of LIFE! What is there not to like? Having friends and family we’ve never met before, who are welcomed into His Kingdom!

Conscientious Objector wins The Medal of Honor by saving His Platoon

WWII Conscience Objectors to war, entered into the reality of being bullied, used and in sailing overseas, my father and his brother, were called to clean up the vomit. Their lowly position, working in the medic tent behind the scenes in India. . . .meant they were the last to return home.

Desmon Doss is more than a photo, he was a personal friend of my parents in Denver. Mother was quick to remind me, she played “the stork” in his wife’s baby shower. . . I can only imagine Mother standing on one leg, with a big beak…holding a tray of tiny folded diapers, with one tiny safety pin…to offer these baby shower gifts at the door.

What happens when you are rewarded for being a good medic? For carrying the wounded off the field, or washing the ambulance like Uncle Dale did? Or examine blood samples in the medic tent?

Recently my son’s friend Jonathan enlisted in the Navy, his intellect placed him in logistics. . . with his gift of photographic memory. . .he was a perfect fit.

The “war” and “rumors of war” remind me of my own Mother, waiting three years to see Manford, who would be introduced to his son, he had never met. Mom was pregnant when he left. And Franklin saw the pictures and at the Denver Union Depot he said, “That’s my daddy.”

The feelings they had, the sacrificing for the war effort, the rationing of sugar, gas, and shortage of foods, they understood, in their day. We were fighting for FREEDOM. . .in those days . . . and now we are facing the extinction of FREEDOM. . . .in our day . . . with backlash from those who wanted their “states rights” to own slaves. A mental war against a war that has already been fought?

GOD freed the slaves from the Pharaoh, and for all mankind, to not have to bow down to “a man.” . . .” or government” for us to just live within the boundaries of the law. . . which seems to be stretching into a web of words . . . used to dilute our freedom of speech.

We came to America as pilgrims fleeing the Holocaust of WW II. . .to open the gates of the concentration camps. . .to free mankind from a church/state union.

Have we lost sight of a Holy God who made us all in His Image? Or has something else replaced the “man” who wishes just to be free?

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. . . is the man who purchased your freedom, on Calvary. Jesus the KING OF THE JEWS, came to be Christ who purchased OUR FREEDOM, by the blood of the LAMB, who has the power to “recreate” all who find “HIS HOLY SPIRIT” the attraction.

What did Jesus do to receive the punishment of the cross? He dared to say, “I am the son of God.” “I am a king.”

I have to stifle a laugh here, for we are called THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF A KING, who fought this war before, who PURCHASED OUR PARDON. . . dare we say, “WE ARE THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD?”

YES! WE DO SAY, and we are, the humbled sons and daughters of GOD, who no longer wish to see our SAVIOUR die for our sins…we would rather obey, “than sacrifice” the LIFE of the one who looks into our hearts, to forgive. . .the repenting sinner.

I know I feel unworthy to be chosen or called to a mission. . .and be a missionary. No one is WORTHY. . .except JESUS CHRIST. . .to be OUR SAVIOUR. . .and take us up to heaven. . .to be among THE CHOSEN. . .the misfits, Moses the murderer, Abraham the husband of two wives, and Joseph the favored son, sold into slavery, or Jesus Christ, the strange son, of a young woman, who was not married.

I can list the misfits in the Bible, but GOD arranged for us to see ourselves, as we are. . .human and in need of a Saviour. He knew our inability to conceive the idea of being HOLY, being separate, yet not being able to be PERFECT…in every way. . . the cost of humbling one self my own self, seems to be degrading. . . and on my knees. . . below the cross. . . I see He has suffered enough. . .and we have made our decision to follow Him. . .or not.

I am not as straight-laced as you think…I too am human and in need of a Saviour! I have to remind myself to Praise the Lord . . . I have work to do. . .places to be, people to greet, and pages to pass out today, to invite the city to The Serpentine Prophecy series of lectures.

And a garden that needs to be finished with a few more seeds.

God Bless Have a good day!

We Are Changed From Glory to Glory

“But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory even as by the SPIRIT OF THE LORD.”2 Corinthians 3:18

“When enlighted by the Spirit of God, the believer beholds the perfection of Jesus and beholding THIS PERFECTION he/she REJOICES with JOY UNSPEAKABLE. In self he/she sees sin and helplessness; in the REDEEMER SINLESSNESS and INFINITE POWER. The SACRIFICE that CHRIST made in order that He might impart to us HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS--this is a theme upon which we may dwell with deeper and still deeper enthusiasm. SELF is NOTHING; JESUS IS EVERYTHING. . . .

“The transforming power of grace can make me a partaker of the DIVINE NATURE. On Christ, the glory of GOD has shone, and by looking upon CHRIST, contemplating HIS SELF-SACRIFICE, remembering that in HIM dwells all the fulness of the GODHEAD BODILY, the believer is drawn closer and closer to the SOURCE OF POWER. . . .

“How essential that we have the enlightenment of the Spirit of God; for thus only can we see the glory of Christ, and by beholding become changed from character to character in and through faith in Christ. . . .He has grace and pardon for every soul. As by faith we look to Jesus, our faith pierces the shadow, and we adore God for His wondrous love in giving us Jesus the COMFORTER!

“The sinner may become a child of God, an heir of heaven. He may rise from the dust, and stand forth arrayed in garments of light. . . .At every step of advance, He sees new beauties in Christ and becomes more like Him in character.

“The LOVE that was MANIFESTED toward him/her in the death of Christ, awakens a response of thankful love, and in answer to sincere prayer, the believer is brought from grace to GRACE, FROM GLORY TO GLORY, UNTIL BY BEHOLDING CHRIST, HE IS CHANGED INTO THE SAME IMAGE.”

Jeremiah_18:6  O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

The potter, must slam the clay, to get the bubbles out, so when the clay is dried and fired in the kiln, it will not bust apart. When the potter molds the clay, it sometimes needs to be folded again and again, to make a round ball, to be thrown upon the wheel, as the potter spins the clay, He molds us to be a vessel, platter, or poet. GOD can and DOES makeovers, if we will be pliable to His hands, in making us like Him.

What is there NOT TO LIKE in JESUS? Healer, friend, shepherd, all knowledgeable, all powerful, all love expressed in giving us FREEDOM to love Him or leave Him. There is no bias in His Standards of weights and balances.

Soon we will all take STAND, for our AGAINST the only one who can TAKE US OFF THIS EARTH, and UP to HEAVEN, in our new bodies. . . You ready to go?

We Have Received of God’s Fullness

Look UP! The human character cannot make a perfect world, but with God’s help we can make the world a better place, by obeying His Laws.

“And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.” John 1:16

“Satan has represented God as selfish and oppressive, as claiming all, and giving nothing as requiring the service of His creatures for His own glory, and making NO SACRIFICE for their good. But the gift of Christ reveals the Father’s heart . . . It declares that while God’s hatred of sin is as strong as death, His love for the sinner is stronger than death. Having undertaken our redemption, He will spare nothing, however dear, which is necessary to the completion of His work. No truth essential to our salvation is withheld, no miracle of mercy is neglected, no divine agency is left unemployed. Favor is heaped upon favor, gift upon gift. The whole treasury of heaven is open to those He seeks to save. Having collected the riches of the universe, and laid open the resources of infinite power, He gives them all into the hands of Christ, and says, All these are for man. Use these gifts to convince him that there is NO LOVE GREATER THAN MINE IN EARTH OR HEAVEN. His greatest happiness will be found in loving Me.

“The Father appreciates every soul whom His Son has purchased by the gift of His life. Every provision has been made for us to receive divine power, which will enable us to overcome temptations. Through obedience to all God’s requirements, the soul is preserved unto eternal life.

“God has a heaven full of blessings that He wants to bestow those who are earnestly seeking for that help which the Lord alone can give.”

Sons and Daughters of God, by Ellen White for April 26, 2022.

REJOICE in the RICH TREASURE of GRACE

“And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the Lord thy God has given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the STRANGER THAT IS AMONG YOU.” Deuteronomy 26:11

“Thanksgiving and praise should be expressed to God for temporal blessings and for whatever comforts He bestows upon us. God would have every family that He is preparing to inhabit the eternal mansions above, give glory to Him for the reach treasures of his grace. Were children, in the home life, educated and trained to be grateful to the Giver of all good things, we would see an element of heavenly grace manifest in our families. Cheerfulness would be seen in the home life and coming from such homes, the youth would bring a spirit of respect and reverence for all the ordinances of His worship, and grateful praise and thanksgiving would be offered for all the gifts of His providence. . . .

“Every temporal blessing would be received with gratitude, and every spiritual blessing becomes doubly precious because the perception of each member of the household had become sanctified by the Word of truth. The Lord Jesus is very near to those who appreciate His gracious gifts, tracing all their good things back to the benevolent, loving, care-taking God, and recognizing Him as the great Fountain of all comfort and consolation, the inexhaustible Source of Grace.”

“If we would give more expression to our faith, rejoice more in the blessings that we know we have,–the great mercy and love of God,—we should have more faith and greater joy. No tongue can express, no finite mind can conceive, the blessing that results from appreciating the goodness and love of God. Even on earth, we may have joy as a wellspring, never failing, because fed by the streams that flow from the throne of God.“

Sons and Daughters of God, by Ellen White for April 25, 2022\

Sometimes it’s not “easy” to PRAISE THE LORD…but in doing so…we also understand. . .HE SUFFERED for us, with us, to grant us entrance into HIS KINGDOM. . .of peace and love for all mankind!

Let Us Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace

“Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

“Jesus knows the needs of His children, and He loves to listen to their prayers. Let the children shut out the world and everything that would attract the thoughts from God, and let them feel that they are ALONE WITH GOD, that HIS EYE looks into the inmost HEART, and READS the DESIRE OF THE SOUL, and that they may TALK WITH GOD. In humble faith, you may claim HIS PROMISES, and FEEL that although you have nothing in yourself whereby you may claim the favor of God, because of the merits and righteousness of Christ, you may come boldly to the throne of grace, and find help in time of need, There is nothing that can make the soul so strong to resist the temptations of Satan in the great conflict of life, as to seek God in humility, laying before Him your soul in all its helplessness, expecting that He will be your helper and your defender.

“With the trusting faith of a little child, we are to come to our heavenly Father, telling Him of all our needs. He is always ready to pardon and help. The supply of divine wisdom is inexhaustible, and the Lord encourages us to draw largely from it. The longing that we should have for spiritual blessings is described in the words, “As the hart panteth after the water books, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” We need a deeper soul-hunger for the rich gifts that heaven has to bestow.

“We are to hunger and thirst after righteousness.

“O that we might have a consuming desire to know God by experimental knowledge, to come into the audience chamber of the Most High, reaching up the hand of faith, and casting our helpless souls upon the One mighty to save. His lovingkindness is better than life.

“He desires to bestow on the children of men the riches of an eternal inheritance. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.”

The Treasures of God’s Grace Are for Us: His Gifts Are to Stablish and Strengthen Us

Jesus spent time with people, making disciples, strengthening their knowledge, and giving them courage, education, and friendship.

1Peter 5:10  “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.” 

“Blessed is the soul who can say, “I am guilty before God: but Jesus is my Advocate. I have transgressed His law. I cannot save myself, but I make the precious blood that was shed on Calvary all my plea. I am lost in Adam but restored in Christ. God, who loved the world as to give His only begotten Son to die, will not leave me to perish while repentant and in contrition of soul. He will not look upon me, for I am all unworthy; but He will look upon the face of His Anointed, He will look upon my Substitute and Surety, and listen to the plea of my Advocate, who died for my sin, that I might be made the righteousness of God in Him. By beholding Him I shall be changed into His image. I cannot change my own character, save by partaking of the grace of Him who is all goodness, righteousness, mercy, and truth. But by beholding Him, I shall catch His Spirit, and be transformed into His likeness . . . . The heart that is filled with the grace of Christ will be made manifest by its peace and joy; and where Christ abides, the character will become purified, elevated, ennobled, and glorified.”

“The Creator of all worlds proposes to love those who believe in His only-begotten Son as their personal Saviour, even as He loves His Son. Even here and now His gracious favor is bestowed upon us to this marvelous extent. He has given to men and women the gift of The Light and Majesty of Heaven, and with Him, He has bestowed all the TREASURES OF HEAVEN, Much as He has promised us for the life to come, He also bestows princely gifts upon us in this life, and as subjects of His grace, He would have us enjoy everything that will ennoble, expand, and elevate our characters.

“The Lord has in readiness the most precious exhibitions of His grace to strengthen and encourage.“

Sons and Daughters of God, by Ellen White for April 23, 2022.

The family of Jesus included all ages, there was no one Jesus refused to heal. . . His life touched all He came in contact with.

The Treasures of God’s Grace Are for Us: God’s Grace Sufficient for Every Need.

Sometimes we just see the word….TREASURES. . . . without thinking of the many PLEASURES awaiting us IN HEAVEN, in sight, sound, smell and eternal life with Jesus.

“And he said unto me, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strenth is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

“If you have given yourself to God, to do His work, you have no need to be ANXIOUS FOR TOMORROW. He whose SERVANT YOU ARE, knows the end from the beginning. The EVENTS OF TOMORROW, which are HIDDEN FROM YOUR VIEW, are OPEN TO THE EYS OF HIM, who is omipotent.

“When we take into our hands the management of “things” with which we have to do, and depend upon our “own wisdom” for success, we are taking a BURDEN WHICH GOD HAS NOT GIVEN US, and are trying to bear it without His aid. We are TAKING UPON OURSELVES the responsibility that BELONGS TO GOD, and thus are really putting OURSELVES IN HIS PLACE. We may will have anxiety, and anticipate danger and loss, for it certain to befall us. BUT when we REALLY BELIEVE THAT GOD LOVES US, and MEANS TO DO US GOOD, we shall CEASE TO WORRY about the future. We shall TRUST GOD as A CHILD TRUSTS A LOVING PARENT. THEN our troubles and torments will DISAPPEAR; for our WILL is SWALLOWED up, in the WILL OF GOD.

“Christ has given us NO PROMISE of HELP in BEARING TODAY the BURDENS OF TO-MORROW. He has said, “My grace is sufficient for thee”; but, like the manna given in the wilderness, His grace is bestowed daily, for the day’s need. Like the hosts of Israel in their pilgrim life, we may find morning by morning the bread of heaven for the day’s supply.

“One day alone is ours, and durning this day we are to love God. For this one day we are to place in the hand of Christ, in solemn service, all our purposes and plans, casting all our care upon Him, for He careth for us. “I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil.”

Sons and Daughters of God by Ellen White for April 22, 2022

22,2022 equals 10 . . .a reminder GODS KINGDOM is where we have the FREEDOM to live without 10 boundaries, which include, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

Exo 20:3  Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 

This lessons suggest I am sitting on God’s Throne, not allowing Him to lead me, if I am trying to do things my way, instead if HIS WAY.

I am exhausted today, working outside in the fresh air planting a garden, potatoes, corn, zuccini, yellow squash, and still have dead seeds, that can’t grow, if I do not give them a decent burial….and daily I need to be baptized by His Holy Spirit. . .to die to self. . . to leave the room for Him. . .to grow HIS HOLY SPIRIT IN MY HEART for HIM and others. GOD help us realize how intenstly HE wants us to be IN HIS PRESENCE. . .that makes me smile!

Tell Noah, to “get in the ARK” and let GOD take care of the rain. . .thunder and lightening! I felt my own shoulders relax at sharing that to you and me both!

Advanced profiles of souls listening to Last Day Events Are Moved by the Power of The Holy Spirit

People are Listening . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . As if there is a LOUD CRY . . .around the world

When I hear you say, “This confusion . . . this chaos . . . this babble” it turns the pages back to the Days of Babylon, days of mass confusion, mass misunderstanding, masses crying for help, who want to understand this Message of Who Jesus is . . . . and Who are we fighting against?

Soldiers in Iraq could visit the ruins of Ancient Babylon and back to the Bible, they could envision her, the Great City of Babylon, with a river running through it. They could wonder at one of the 7 Wonders of the World, with hanging gardens, freshwater, an image of what Heaven would be like with a Tree of Life.

The Jews could sit on the banks of the river and lament their homes in Jerusalem, their own stubborn wills, knowing their punishment came from their own disobedience towards the Commandments of God. And after 70 years, the grandchildren came home to rethink the last days in Jerusalem . . . and in being obedient to GOD, they hoped to restore the image of GOD in man, as a GOD who restores His people, from their final resting place, before He raises them from the graves to take them to the most Holy New Jerusalem in Heaven.

“Many had lost sight of Jesus. They needed to have their eyes directed to His divine person, His merits, and His changeless love for the human family. All power is given into His hands, that He may dispense rich gifts unto men and women, imparting the priceless gift of His own righteousness to the helpless human agent. This is the message that God commanded to be given to the WORLD. It is the third angel’s message, which is to be proclaimed with a loud voice, attended with the outpouring of His Spirit in a large member.

“The message of Christ’s righteousness is to sound from one end of the earth to the other to PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD. This is the glory of God, which closes the work of the third angel.

“The last message of MERCY to be given to the world is a revelation of His character of LOVE. The children of God are to manifest His glory. In their own life and character, they are to reveal what the grace of God has done for them.

“As the end approaches, the testimonies of God’s servants will become more decided and more powerful.”

This message of Revelation 14:9-12 embraces the two proceeding messages.

Rev 14:9  And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worships the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, Rev 14:10  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: Rev 14:11  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. Rev 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. 

“Those who represent Christ use a loud voice with the power of His Holy Spirit. As the third angel’s message swells into a loud cry, great power and glory will attend its proclamation. The faces of God’s people will shine with the light of heaven.

“Amidst the deepening shadows of earth’s last great crisis, God’s light will shine brightest, and song of hope and trust will be heard in clearest and loftiest strains.

“As foretold in the eighteenth chapter of Revelation is to be proclaimed with great power by those who give the final warning against the beast and his image.”

Here it is, the eighteenth chapter of Revelation

The Fall of Babylon
Rev 18:1  And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. Rev 18:2  And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, 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. Rev 18:3  For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Rev 18:4  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. Rev 18:6  Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. Rev 18:7  How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. Rev 18:8  Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. 

Rev 18:9  And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Rev 18:10  Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 
Rev 18:11  And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: Rev 18:12  The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, Rev 18:13  And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. Rev 18:14  And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. Rev 18:15  The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, Rev 18:16  And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! Rev 18:17  For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, Rev 18:18  And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! Rev 18:19  And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. 
Rev 18:20  Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.  Rev 18:21  And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. Rev 18:22  And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee; Rev 18:23  And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. Rev 18:24  And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth. 

Cities are called “she” like Babylon and Jerusalem.

TRUTH is THE LIGHT that SHINES in DARKNESS

“God will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness.”

Remember Noah was saved by getting into the Ark.

What the Grace of God Accompolishes in Our Lives: Changes Our Empty Lamps Into Full Lamps.

“The wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.” Matthew 25:4

“Let every youth consider the parable of the ten virgins. All had lamps, which is an outward semblance of religion, but only five of them had inward piety. Five of them were wanting in the oil of grace. The Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit, was not abiding in their hearts. Without the oil of grace, of what use was it to hear about a lamp of profession? However high may be the profession, however high may be the position held by a professor of religion, if the oil of grace is wanting, he has nothing with which to feed his lamp, and it cannot send forth clear, shining rays of light. . . .

“The reason why the BRIDEGROOM DELAYS is because HE is LONGSUFFERING to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. O the precious longsuffering of our merciful Saviour! O that each of the dear youth would appreciate the value of the soul that has been purchased at infinite cost on Calvary! O that each one would place a proper estimate upon the capabilities that have been given him of God! Through Christ, you may climb the ladder of progress, and bring every power o under the control of Jesus. . . . In spirit, in thought, in word, and in action, you may make manifest that you are MOVED BY THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, and your life may wield a power of influence over others.

“We are living in altogether too solemn a period of the world’s history to be careless and negligent. . . .You must pray, believe and obey. In your own strength, you can do nothing; but in the grace of Jesus Christ, you can employ your powers in such a way as to bring the greatest good to your own soul, and the greatest blessing to the souls of others. Lay hold of Jesus, and you will diligently work the works of Christ, and will finally receive the eternal reward.”
