The Loud Cry
“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…. 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. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.” Revelation 18:2,4,5.
The abominations that are happening in the SDA church today are a fulfilment of the prophecy given by Ellen White in Letter 242 1903 where she warned the church that if they refused to come out the Laodecian state of lukewarmness then a satanic reformation would take place within the SDA church, turning the SDA into Babylon with the end being “the storm and the tempest” which “would sweep away the structure”. The “storm and the tempest” is the destruction of the SDA church and the rest of Babylon by the 7 last plagues.
This prophecy is the same as the prophecy of Ezekiel 9. God commanded the men with the slaughtering weapons to “Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house” Ezekiel 9:6. Obviously God will not destroy His own true sanctuary or church. Therefore this can only mean His professed sanctuary or church. And there can be no other church in these last days that has professed Him more than the Seventh Day Adventist church because it was to them that He gave the greatest light but they have rejected it and God was removed from them. So they will be the first to feel the wrath of God. Ellen White says “Here we see that the church–the Lord’s sanctuary–was the first to feel the stroke of the wrath of God. The ancient men, those to whom God had given great light, and who had stood as guardians of the spiritual interests of the people, had betrayed their trust.” Testimonies for the church Volume 5 page 211, 1882. Repeated in Review and Herald January 11, 1887.
But before the destruction of the sanctuary there will be a sealing of all those who are not to be destroyed by the seven last plagues. The instruction from God is “Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.” Ezekiel 9:4. Again here “Jerusalem” is the professed church of God i.e. all those professing to be Christians including the SDA church. But when the sealing takes place the “glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house” Ezekiel 9:3. The prophet Ellen White says, “But the glory of the Lord had departed from Israel. Although many still continued the forms of religion, its power and presence were lacking” Testimonies for the church Volume 5 page 211, 1882. So Babylon, the professed church of God will still be continuing with the “forms of religion” while the sealing is taking place among the Remnants. No one will be sealed whilst he/she is still in Babylon, hence the loud cry of Revelation 18 that Babylon has fallen and those that love God must come out. Once they are out then they can be sealed if they heed the counsel of the True Witness. (Revelation 3:18).
The sifting that is being done right now is among the Remnants. That is why once you separate from the SDA church by heeding the call in Revelation 18:4, you should also heed the counsel of the True Witness and buy from Him “eyesalve” that you may be able to discern between the true Remnants and the false Remnants, and between the righteousness of Christ and self- righteousness. Then buy also from Him “white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed” with the righteousness of Christ and of course you will need the “gold tried in the fire” which is the faith and love of Christ (Revelation 3:18).
So please my brothers and sisters, and all of those still in the SDA church and any Babylonian church, get out before it’s too late. Because while you are still a member of the SDA, conference or non conference member, then you a partaker of her sins (Rev. 18:4.). Please note that the righteousness of Christ which is the seal of God, is the only defence against the 7 last plagues and it cannot be imputed to anyone whist they are still in sin or sharing the sins of Babylon.
Do not be deceived by those who claim that God will sift out the bad elements from the SDA and it will be purified. The purification and other promises to the SDA were made on condition of obedience. God cannot purify a church that He has been removed from, as shown by Ezekiel 9:3 above and this statement from the same prophecy of Letter 242 1903, “but God being removed, they would place their dependence on human power, which, without God, is worthless”. Once the satanic reformation was allowed to start it cannot be stopped, because “nothing would be allowed to stand in the way of the new movement”. That is why after she was given this message she was told to do all in her power to prevent this satanic reformation from taking place. She says “I had my orders…Meet it..For the next few days I worked early and late, preparing our people the instruction given me regarding the errors that were coming amongst us” Selected Messages Book 1 p.206
By God’s grace she was able to stop the satanic reformation from taking place. But after her death and the passing away of our pioneers, the satanic reformation started around 1930 with the SDA church adopting a Church Manual as their creed instead of the Bible. Satan had always wanted to introduce a Church Manual into the SDA church but failed. In 1883 some wanted it to be introduced but it was rejected. And some of the reasons for its rejection was that “The Bible contains our creed and discipline. It thoroughly furnishes the man of God unto all good works. What it has not revealed relative to church organization and management, the duties of officers and ministers,, and kindred subjects, should not be strictly defined and drawn out into minute specifications for the sake of uniformity, but rather be left to individual judgment under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Had it been best to have a book of directions of this sort, the Spirit would doubtless have gone further, and left one on record with the stamp of inspiration upon it.” Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, Vol. 60, No. 47, November 27, 1883, G.I. Butler.
So once Satan had led the SDA church to adopt the Church Manual and the Holy Spirit removed, then his satanic reformation went into full swing especially in the 1960s with the book Questions on Doctrine which undermines the old land marks. After that all the events predicted in the prophecy have been fulfilled except the “storm and the tempest” which are the 7 last plagues. (See: The signal for the destruction of Babylon)
We do not write these things to wound your souls my brothers and sisters but because we care for you since you have been purchased by an infinite price, even the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Yours in Christ
