THE 3 ANGELS MESSAGE

Antonio Bernard

Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Angels=messengers - Revelation 1:16, 20; 12:4, 7-9; Job 38:7

Galatians 4:14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me{Paul} as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
" The

angels are represented as flying in the midst of heaven, proclaiming to the world a message of warning, and having a direct bearing upon the people living in the last days of this earths history. No one hears the voice of these angels, for they are a symbol to represent the people of God who are working in harmony with the universe of heaven. Men and women, enlightened by the Spirit of God and sanctified through the truth, proclaim the three messages in their order. {2SM 387.1}"

In a special sense Seventh-day Adventists have been set in the world as watchmen and light bearers. To

them has been entrusted the last warning for a perishing world. On them is shining wonderful
light from the Word of God. They

have been given a work of the most solemn import--the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages. There is no other work of so great importance. They are to allow nothing else to
absorb their attention.--9T 19 (1909). {LDE 45.3}

our work is to benefit our fellow-men, we are not to travel over the track of opponents to the truth, but to

sound the message of the third angel, who is flying in the midst of
heaven, proclaiming the note of warning, the commandments of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

to vindicate the character of God before the universe.


{PP 68.2} 3 of 3

The Saviour came to glorify the Father by the demonstration of His love; so the Spirit was to glorify Christ by revealing His grace to the world. The very image of God is to be reproduced in humanity. The honor of God, the honor of Christ, is involved in the perfection of the character of His people. Desire of ages page 671

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

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

Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.


Matthew 5:48

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

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

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

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

M. L . Andreasen, The Sanctuary Service, pp . 299-321


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

M. L . Andreasen 1876-1962

M. L . Andreasen, The Sanctuary Service, pp . 299-321


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

M. L . Andreasen 1876-1962

(E. J. Waggoner, General Conference Bulletin, 1891, pp. 156, 159).


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

(A.T. Jones, General Conference Bulletin, 1893, p. 207).

Alonzo T. Jones (1850 1923)

Christ is to be in us, just as God was in Him, and His character is to be in us, just as God was in Him. . . It is the cooperation of the divine and the humanthe mystery of God in you and me. . . that is the third angels message

(A.T. Jones, General Conference Bulletin, 1895, p. 303).

Alonzo T. Jones (1850 1923)

In Jesus Christ as He was in sinful flesh, God has demonstrated before the universe that He can so take possession of sinful flesh as to manifest His own presence, His power, and His glory, instead of sin manifesting itself. . .

(A.T. Jones, General Conference Bulletin, 1895, p. 303).


Then God will so take us, and so use us, that our sinful selves shall not appear to influence or affect anybody; but God will manifest His righteous self, His glory, before men, in spite of all ourselves and our sinfulness. . . And that is the mystery of God, Christ in you, the hope of glory,God manifest in sinful flesh.

Alonzo T. Jones (1850 1923)

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

(A.T. Jones, The Consecrated Way to Christian Perfection, p. 84).

Perfection, perfection of character, is the Christian goalperfection attained in human flesh in this world. Christ attained it in human flesh in this world, and thus made and Alonzo T. Jones consecrated a way (1850 1923) by which, in Him, every believer can attain it .

(E.J. Waggoner, General Conference Bulletin, 1901, p. 146).

But before probation ends, there will be a people so complete in Him that in spite of their sinful flesh, they will live sinless lives. They will live sinless lives in mortal flesh, because He who has demonstrated that Ellet J. Waggoner He has power over all flesh (1855 1916) lives in themlived a sinless life in sinful flesh.

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

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

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

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

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

Rev 14:7
[The angel was] Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

[The angel was] saying with a loud voice,


Fear God (...).

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

First, each inhabitant of the earth is called to fear God.

This fear is not of the kind described in the second verse, synonymous with anguish, distress and dread.

This fear is, rather, the expression of deep respect towards our Almighty God.

Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. 1 Sam 12:24

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed [shunned] evil. Job 1:1

Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. (DEUTERONOMY 8:6) You shall walk after the Lord your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice, and you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. (DEUTERONOMY 13:4) They have not been humbled, to this day, nor have they feared; they have not walked in My law or in My statutes that I set before you. (JEREMIAH 44:10) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. (ECCLESIASTES 12:13)

(...) that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. (DEUTERONOMY 6:2)

FEAR GOD
What does it mean to fear the Lord ? 1 John 4:18 King James Version (KJV) 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 Samuel 12:24 King James Version (KJV) 24 Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. Job 1:1 King James Version (KJV) 1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

Deuteronomy 8:6 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. Deuteronomy 13:4 4 Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

Knowledge.

Jeremiah 44:10 10 They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Proverbs 1:7 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. John 17:4 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.Psalm 50:23.Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.

Revelation 19:5 5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

Revelation 19:7 7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
1 Corinthians 6:20 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 3:18 18 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 Timothy 4:18 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Romans 1:25 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen

God asks us to fear Him by putting all His commandments into practice, because He knows that this is the only way leading to happiness.

and give

glory to Him
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Rev 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Cor 6:20
Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Cor 10:31)

It cannot be to the glory of God for His children to have sickly bodies or dwarfed minds.
TESTIMONIES FOR THE CHURCH VOLUME 3, PAGE 486

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

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

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

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

Worship
Revelation14:7worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
In this first angel's message, we are called upon to worship our Creator who also formed this earth. There are other Bible texts which call for us to do the same, Jeremiah 10:11,12; Psalms 95:3-6, Revelation 4:1011, and most importantly Exodus 20:8-11 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. . . For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it." In this message of judgment, we are called upon to worship the Creator, who also created the Sabbath day. Note how the Sabbath has a part in salvation, "Moreover also I gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and the, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them" Ezekiel 20:12.

John 17:4 & Ps 50:23, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20


I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.

Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

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

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

2 Cor 3:18 & 2 Tim 4 :18


But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom.

To Him be glory forever and ever.

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

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

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

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

How do we know which day is

Now, why must we fear God and give glory to Him?


For the hour of His judgment has come. Indeed, at present, the case of each believer is being judged in the heavenly sanctuary, in order to determine the genuineness of each conversion. And the supreme basis of this judgment is God's law.

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

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

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

The Pope is not only the representative of Jesus Christ, but he is Jesus himself hidden under

the veil of the flesh. POPE PIUS X


WHEN ARCHBISHOP OF VENICE.

All the names which in the scriptures are applied to Christ, by virtue of

which it is established that He is over the church, all the same names are
applied to the Pope. Cardinal Bellarmine.

The Pope is Jesus Christ on earth. Gomay Thomas

The Pope is crowned with a triple crown as king of heaven, and earth, and purgatory. Ferraris Prompta Bibliotheca, Vol. 6, page 26, article Papa.

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

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

.The fall of Protestantism.

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

Sacred Lateran Church. Church mother and head of all the churches of the city and the world. Catechism of the Catholic Church

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

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

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

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

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

.Ye shall be as gods.


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

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

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

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

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

Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High
Ezekiel 28:17 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Isaiah 13:19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ezekiel 28:2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:

Revelation 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. Daniel 4:30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

Dan 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. Dan 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

Oba 1:3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Oba 1:4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Dan 11:45 .yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

(Rev 13:3, 12) And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

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.

Dan 3:15 Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? 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.

WRONG USE OF MUSIC

QUOTATION FROM MESSAGES TO YOUNG PEOPLE, PAGE 295 SAYS MUSIC HAS OCCUPIED THE HOURS WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEVOTED TO PRAYER. IT IS THE IDOL WHICH MANY PROFESSED SABBATH KEEPING CHRISTIANS WORSHIP. SATAN HAS NO OBJECTION TO MUSIC IF HE CAN MAKE THAT A CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE MINDS OF THE YOUTH.

1Sa 16:14 But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him. 1Sa 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 594.

What is the purpose for Music ? Music was made to serve a holy purpose, to lift the thoughts to that which is pure, noble, and elevating, and to awaken in the soul devotion and gratitude to God.

Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 594.

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

Qualities of Good Music.--Great improvement can be made in singing. Some think that the louder they sing the more music they make; but noise is not music. Good singing is like the music of the birds--subdued and melodious. {Ev 510.4} In some of our churches I have heard solos that were altogether unsuitable for the service of the Lord's house. The long-drawn-out notes and the peculiar sounds common in operatic singing are not pleasing to the angels. They delight to hear the simple songs of praise sung in a natural tone. The songs in which every word is uttered clearly, in a musical tone, are the songs that they join us in singing. They take up the refrain that is sung from the heart with the spirit and the understanding.--Manuscript 91, 1903

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

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

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

The Second Vatican Ecumenical Council


The "Instructions on Music in the Liturgy" section of the Vatican II document says this: "...the unity of hearts is more profoundly achieved by the union of voices, minds are more easily raised to heavenly things by the beauty of sacred rites...In order that the faithful may ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE more willingly and with greater benefit, it is fitting that THE FORMAT OF CELEBRATION and the degree of participation in it should be varied as much as possible, according to the solemnity of the day and the nature of the congregation present...The participation (a) Should be above all internal (b) Must be, on the other hand, EXTERNAL also, that is, such as to show the internal participation by GESTURES and BODILY attitudes, by acclamations, responses and singing."
--Austin Flannery (ed.), "Instructions on Music in the Liturgy," Vatican II Council: The Conciliar and Post-Conciliar Documents (New York: Costello Publishing, 1979): 81, 83-84. Source: http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vatii_const_19631204_sacrosanctum-concilium_en.html

The Vatican II Council issued recommendations on liturgy the singing, prayers, congregational responses, and Scripture readings that make up a church service. These directives discussed ways to incorporate the whole church community in the service, making them more involved in worship procedures.

Churches were encouraged to shift away from traditional sermons that exhort and equip and instead concentrate on the cursory reading of extracts from the Psalms and Gospels. They were instructed to replace traditional hymns with popular music, modern musical instruments, and physical movement of the congregation. Churches were also encouraged to adapt their styles of worship to suit their cultures. The liturgical section of the Vatican II document, Volume 1, can be summarized as follows:
Source: http://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vatii_const_19631204_sacrosanctum-concilium_en.html

1. Get the churches accustomed to celebration terminology and the celebration concept. Every function of the church becomes a celebration. 2. Get the churches accustomed to a revitalized style of celebration service, encouraging a reduction of inhibition which includes physical gestures, bodily attitudes and movement. 3. Set forth song and musical celebration services as the most effective celebrations. 4. Utilizing popular religious songs and relating music to the various cultures and the temperaments of the people. is there something wrong with sign language? There's nothing wrong with it, if it's for the precious deaf people. But the way that many churches use "signing" is as a performance; and this is a mockery to the deaf. We shouldn't use their means of comminication as a form of entertainment. It's ashame, and doesn't make any sense. It's like peaching in Latin where no one understands it.

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

take place just before the close of probation.(Just Before the passing of a Sunday Law) Every uncouth thing will be demonstrated. There will be shouting, with drums, music, and dancing.

A bedlam of noise shocks the senses and perverts that which if conducted aright might be a blessing. The powers of Satanic agencies blend with the din and noise, to have a carnival, and this is termed the Holy Spirit's working. . . .

Num 16:26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.

Then I saw another mighty angel commissioned to descend to the earth, to unite his voice with the third angel, and give power and force to his message. Great power and glory were imparted to the angel, and as he descended, the earth was lightened with his glory. The light which attended this angel penetrated everywhere, as he cried mightily, with a strong voice, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."

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

Daniel 7:25: He shall think to change times and laws

The Pope has power to change times, to abrogate laws, and to dispense with all things, even the precepts of Christ. Decretal, de Tranlatic Episcop. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Isa.24:5-6

"The Catholic Church for over one thousand years before the existence of a Protestant, by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday."--The Catholic Mirror, Sept. 23, 1893.
The Catholic Universe Bulletin, August 14, 1942, page 4. "The Church changed the observance of the Sabbath to Sunday by right of the divine, infallible authority given to her by her founder, Jesus Christ. The Protestant claiming the Bible to be the only guide of faith, has no warrant for observing Sunday."

"The Bible says, Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. The Catholic church says, No! By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day, and command you to keep the first day of the week. And lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic church!" Father Enright, C.S.S.R. of the Redemptoral College, Kansas City, Mo., History of the Sabbath, p. 802

"The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth." Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Chapter XXVII, p. 218, "Cities Petrus Bertanous".

"The Pope takes the place of Jesus Christ on earth...by divine right the Pope has supreme and full power in faith, in morals over each and every pastor and his flock. He is the true vicar, the head of the entire church, the father and teacher of all Christians. He is the infallible ruler, the founder of dogmas, the author of and the judge of councils; the universal ruler of truth, the arbiter of the world, the supreme judge of heaven and earth, the judge of all, being judged by no one, God himself on earth." Quoted in the New York Catechism.

Westministers Confession of Faith (Presbyterian)

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

The Great Controversy The Sanctuary Message The Investigative Judgment Message The Seventh-day Sabbath (Seal of God) Message Righteousness by Faith Message Warning Against the Mark of the Beast Health Message The Second Advent Message

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

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

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

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

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

Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
The Pope was commonly called Vicar of the Son of God. In Latin this is Vicarius Filii Dei. Latin letters have numerical value (e.g. C=100) and the numerical equivalents of these letters total 666. He is also called The Highest of the Clergy of Dux Cleri, and this too totals 666.

Rev 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

[16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

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

Rev 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying (11) Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

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

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

Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Perhaps the boldest thing, the most revolutionary change the Church ever did, happened in the first century. The holy day, the Sabbath, was changed from Saturday to Sunday. "The Day of the Lord" (dies Dominica) was chosen, not from any directions noted in the Scriptures, but from the Church's sense of its own power. The day of resurrection, the day of Pentecost, fifty days later, came on the first day of the week. So this would be the new Sabbath. People who think that the Scriptures should be the sole authority, should logically become 7th Day Adventists, and keep Saturday holy. Source: Sentinel, Pastor's Page (Fr. Leo Broderick), Saint Catherine Catholic Church, Algonac, Michigan, May 21, 1995.

The Converts Catechism of Catholic doctrine - 1957, p50 Q. Which is the Sabbath day? A. Saturday is the Sabbath day. Q. Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? A. We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.

Father Enright, American Sentinel, June 1893 The Bible says: remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day. The Catholic Church says: No! By my divine power I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week.

Called to Expose Man of Sin.--In the very time in which we live the Lord has called His people and has given them a message to bear. He has called them to expose the wickedness of the man of sin who has made the Sunday law a distinctive power, who has thought to change times and laws, and to oppress the people of God who stand firmly to honor Him by keeping the only true Sabbath, the Sabbath of creation, as holy unto the Lord.--Testimonies to Ministers, p. 118.

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

She possesses the same pride and arrogant assumption that lorded it over kings and princes, and claimed the prerogatives of God. Her spirit is no less cruel and despotic now than when she crushed out human liberty and slew the saints of the Most High. {GC 571.1} The papacy is just what prophecy declared that she would be, the apostasy of the latter times. 2 Thessalonians 2:3, 4.The Roman Church now presents a fair front to the world, covering with apologies her record of horrible cruelties.
