INVITATION TO REFORM

FOREWARD

In this new testimony, seventh in sequence, according to the God`s will I present several revelations concerning the events which will soon in the special manner mark final history of the SDA Church – the last strongpoint of God`s truth which to the great extent fallen among its membership too because of which these testimonies of God`s Spirit happen to enlighten many subjects being specially in this last period from 1915 when the first Advent herald of the Our Lord Isus Christ finished his service – covered by darkness of great misuderstanding.

I am sure that every person whose heart is open for the influence of God`s Spirit can recognize God`s voice in this testimonies, but in order to make openness thorough for reception of important life morals contained in them – it is needed to enter studying of their content without the presence of already issued, mainly wrong opinions concerning many questions, which are stated as the truth by modern up to date pharisees for a  long period of time.

The Church of the seventh-day Adventists possesses the truth which other congregations does not have but this truth is not thorough jet so it has to be advanced and strenghtened because it is not God`s will that His people stands on one spot but to develop, and to do it by great force, and how it will develop if there is not the new light which would force out darkness from the old and bring about new knowledge, encouragement, advice and urgently needed instruction for passing through time of misfortune such as never have ever been from the world genesis?

"Prophecy must be fulfilled. The Lord says, "Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord." (Malachie 4,5.) Somebody is to come in the spirit and power of Elijah, and when he appears, men may say, "You are too earnest, you do not interpret the Scriptures in the proper way. Let me tell you how to teach your message."  {RH, February 18, 1890 par. 16}

There are many who cannot distinguish between the work of God and that of man. I shall tell the truth as God gives it to me, and I say now, If you continue to find fault, to have a spirit of variance, you will never know the truth. Jesus said to his disciples, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now." They were not in a condition to appreciate sacred and eternal things; but Jesus promised to send the Comforter, who would teach them all things, and bring all things to their remembrance, whatsoever he had said unto them.

Brethren, we must not put our dependence in man. "Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?" (Isaiah 2,22.) You must hang your helpless souls upon Jesus. It does not become us to drink from the fountain of the valley, when there is a fountain in the mountain. Let us leave the lower streams; let us come to the higher springs. If there is a point of truth that you do not understand, upon which you do not agree, investigate, compare scripture with scripture, sink the shaft of truth down deep into the mine of God's word. You must lay yourselves and your opinions on the altar of God, put away your preconceived ideas, and let the Spirit of Heaven guide you into all truth." {RH, February 18, 1890 par. 17}

“TAKE HEED, BEWARE OF THE LEAVEN OF THE PHARISEES...”

Mark 8,15.

In this short period of time which preceds Christ`s second coming, it is very important that in the scope of preparation for that great event finaly free ourselves from many misleads-halftruths and falsehoods about many essential notions which modern pharisees – under guidance of the father of every lie and fraud – like poisonous "yeast" entered into pure science of God`s Words "which was once delivered unto the saints.« (Juda 1,3). Satan did during the long period with great shrewdness and with all posible means which stand on its disposal, using the authority of nonconsecrated preachers, seniors and employees of Congregation, all possible to establish its authority over the SDA church – last strongpoint of God`s word, and he succeded to the great extent. Since the existence of Church also figures this infernal plan of this perfidious opponent of God and people, because by appointing of great number of nonconsecrated people in the lead of disliked Congregation, his power increases and possibility for final fulfillment of wanted aim – thorough devastation of faith and consecration. Intake of lies and ruinning the belief in God`s Word and scripts of Spirit of prophesy are the basic means he uses in his tendencies to, if it is ever possible, fulfill his aim. Spirit of prophecy says about this the following: “Satan strongly acts through the sons of disobedience in order to show the disloyalty and apostasy as truth and fidelity. Strength of its inspiration moves live tools today to finish great rebellion against God who rest in heaven”. (General conference Bulletin 1893 page 408-409).

“Says the great deceiver: 'We must watch those who are calling the attention of the people to the Sabbath of Jehovah; they will lead many to see the claims of the law of God; and the same light which reveals the true Sabbath, reveals also the ministration of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary, and shows that the last work for man's salvation is now going forward. Hold the minds of the people in darkness till that work is ended, and we shall secure the world and the church also.

'I will influence popular ministers to turn the attention of their hearers from the commandments of God. That which the Scriptures declare to be a perfect law of liberty shall be represented as a yoke of bondage. The people accept their ministers' explanations of Scripture, and do not investigate for themselves. Therefore by working through the ministers, I can control the people according to my will.'

'But before proceeding to these extreme measures, we must exert all our wisdom and subtlety to deceive and ensnare those who honor the true Sabbath. We can separate many from Christ by worldliness, lust, and pride. They may think themselves safe because they believe the truth, but indulgence of appetite or the lower passions, which will confuse judgment and destroy discrimination, will cause their fall.

'Through those that have a form of godliness but know not the power, we can gain many who would otherwise do us great harm. Lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God will be our most effective helpers. Those of this class who are apt and intelligent will serve as decoys to draw others into our snares. Many will not fear their influence, because they profess the same faith. We will thus lead them to conclude that the requirements of Christ are less strict than they once believed, and that by conformity to the world they would exert a greater influence with worldlings. Thus they will separate from Christ; then they will have no strength to resist our power, and erelong they will be ready to ridicule their former zeal and devotion.

'Until the great decisive blow shall be struck, our efforts against commandment-keepers must be untiring. We must be present at all their gatherings....'

'I will have upon the ground, as my agents, men holding false doctrines mingled with just enough truth to deceive souls. I will also have unbelieving ones present, who will express doubts in regard to the Lord's messages of warning to his church. Should the people read and believe these admonitions, we could have little hope of overcoming them. But if we can divert their attention from these warnings, they will remain ignorant of our power and cunning, and we shall secure them in our ranks at last. God will not permit his words to be slighted with impunity. If we can keep souls deceived for a time, God's mercy will be withdrawn, and he will give them up to our full control.

'We must cause distraction and division. We must destroy their anxiety for their own souls, and lead them to criticise, to judge, and to accuse and condemn one another, and to cherish selfishness and enmity. For these sins, God banished us from his presence; and all who follow our example will meet a similar fate.' (4SP page 337-340).

Time and events, regretfully, show that these plans which Satan made are fulfilled to the great extent, but beside this, it is sure that God will not allow the Church to fall and out of that reason are created the testimonies of the Spirit of prophecy by which God reveals intentions of enemies, gives advice, warns and reaches His people the path of salvation and at the same time protects it from thorough digression. Just because of realization of this aim, according to God`s will, in this written work I bring to light interpretation of those notions which are of extreme importance even for final salvation of many of those who accepted distorted and incomplete truth concerning subjects such as: Church, organization, awakening and reform, because many Adventist repeat the mistake who did the Hebrew people who had wrong notion about what Church really is and how it has to work in its environment.

Church

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you...” (1. Corinthians 6,19)

Beside clear teaching of the Holy Script in this subject, many Adventists does not understand it because under the influence of their preachers they adopted the attitude that Church consists of a building on which stands the label "Christian Adventist church", and all believers who gather in it, notwithstanding they are really consecrated or not, because, as according to the preffered interpretation of the story about the corn cockle: Do not change anything until Jesus comes, because as it alleged, He said that.

The same non understandings and mistakes were in use during the time of Christ`s public service. When He was during the first "purgation" of temple at the beginning of His public service asked by the Hebrews: "What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?" Jesus answered "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But He spake of the temple of His body." (John 2,18-21.)

 What the Holy Script says about Church is so clear that any comment should be superfluous. I would quote several texts that speak for themselves:

"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which [temple] ye are." (1. Corinthians 3,16-17.)

"...for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." (2. Corinthians 6,16.)

"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18,20.)

Although it is true that church is also called the building in which believers hold their services (1.Timothy 3,15) essentially speaking, as God acts, Church is also every believer in whom - through real community with the Savior - Holy Spirit entered (2. Cor. 6,16) because it is clear that no building nor institution, by themselves alone can have any value. History of Apostle Church – which has to be the ideal model to the nowadays Church which God can accept as such. In that time, believers often had to gather outside the church buildings, in houses or in fields and the Church itself consisted of those who accepted Jesus as personal Savior and Redeemer, while the others, who rejected Him – in their blindness still support alredy shallow forms and rituals and even believed that God is with them!? But, in God`s eyes, they were not His people any more.

In this last period of time, history would, regretedly, repeat in the utmostly same way: while the vast majority of the seventh-day Adventist would reject the last invitation of True Witness staying in the bonds of hollow formalism, until than true believing God`s Remnants who will hold to His commandmants and have testimony of Jesus Christ, would be cut off and expelled just by those who will like Hebrews long ago - still hold the istitutions by soying: "The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, [are] these." (Jeremiah 7,4-14.) Brothers and sisters, study this text from the book of prophet Jeremiah and accept these warnings until it is still possible because the time of mercy would firstly run off for the seventh-day adventists who long enough know the truth, as the time in the past off for Hebrews and was needed only for those who did not have the right opportunity to acquaint the truth. The same will be also today. "For the time [is come] that judgment must begin at the house of God" (1. Peter 4,17) "And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 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 9,5-6)

Organization

One more major error – greatly accepted and specially preffered by those who by all means want to acquire and keep false authority – is identification of Church with organization, but, it is very wrong because organization is only the way in which Church functions. Way of Church organization can and has to be changed, but Church stays the church! Church is the assembly of consecrated people, and organization is the way in which they act and cooperate.

This untruth is represented just by those who fear organization or better to say reform, which represent urgent need in the part of preparation for Christ`s second coming.

Reform

Reform or reorganization as it is differently called, represents great ofter even thorough change of organization of one social association. It comes into all ill malformed pores of the old system instead of which the new principles and rules, new thoughts and  ways of thinking, new actions and works. Words: "old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." (2. Corinthians 5,17.) can be taken as one of the best definitions of the reform. What must precede the reform of the Church is awakening of true religiousness and reverency without which no reform has any value and even represents dangerous trap if it is not moved by God`s Spirit. The Spirit of prophecy says:

“In the work of reform to be carried forward today, there is need of men who, like Ezra and Nehemiah, will not palliate or excuse sin, nor shrink from vindicating the honor of God.... As he (Nehemiah) set before them God's commands and threatenings, and the fearful judgments visited on Israel in the past for this very sin, their consciences were aroused, and a work of reformation was begun that turned away God's threatened anger and brought His approval and blessings. “ (PK 673-674).

“In all our churches fundamental reformation is needed! God`s force which transforms must come into all our churches” (1SM B1 p.121).

“Unless there is a decided reformation among the people of God, He will turn His face from them.” (8T 146)

“Our Lord wishes that His Congregation purifies itself before His punishments more considerably fall onto the world.” (RH).

“Invitation must be issued: who would like to be on God`s side? Let approach Him in devotion and truth. God`s law which binds us to strict and personal submission to the Creator, does not allow bonds with the carefree, the unstably changeable and nonconverted which show that the truth did not have any influence onto their heart and character, which influence does not bring others closer to Christ but separates them from Him. Our assemblys must be purified from nonreverency, lack of religiousness and many other things what accumulated and hinder their development...” (RH. 29th.of November 1898).

“Those who achieved advantage and opportunity to acknowledge the truth and who all the same still disrupt the work which according to God`s  will have to be done, would be removed from our environment. God does not need service of people who try to serve two masters” (MS 64-1898)

Clergy

“This [is] a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.” (1. Timothy 3,1-7.)

"For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers." "For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he [is] the messenger of the Lord of hosts." (Titus 1,7-9. Malachi 2,7.)

By the clear study of the Holy Script, our God unambiguously speaks about that who is really suitable for the clergy service and those rubes would even today have to be abeyed, but, we are witnesses of overall violation of God`s decrees which relate to this subject which is the key cause of great spiritual waste in Congregation, because, when the very leadership does not offter real reverency and violates God`s commandments, how would others abey them? From this reason reform has always started by convertion of cleargy or by their replacement in order that the Church would not fall becase leaded by false authorities which represent most efficient means in the hand of Satan. Understanding and usage of rules concerning true clergy whom God can accept as such belong to the most important principles which will in this last period of time be conveyed in the members of advent people.

Essential is the following declaration of the Spirit of prophecy which thoroughly enlightens the subject concerning conditions one person has to fulfill in order to do clergy service as well as attitude the believers of the Church have to take toward non-consecrated clergymen if they want God to place blessing onto Congregation and themselves:

»I was shown how important it is that the ministers who engage in the solemn, responsible work of proclaiming the third angel's message be right. The Lord is not straitened for means or instruments with which to do His own work. He can speak at any time, by whom He will, and His word is powerful and will accomplish the thing whereunto it is sent. But if the truth has not sanctified, made pure and clean, the hands and heart of him who ministers in holy things, he is liable to speak according to his own imperfect experience; and when he speaks of himself, according to the decisions of his own unsanctified judgment, his counsel is not then of God, but of himself. As he that is called of God is called to be holy, so he that is approved and set apart of men must give evidence of his holy calling and show forth in his heavenly conversation and conduct that he is faithful to Him who hath called him. There are fearful woes for those who preach the truth, but are not sanctified by it, and also for those who consent to receive and maintain the unsanctified to minister to them in word and doctrine.« (1.T 261)

My duty is once more to emphasize that the usage of this principles is of the utmost importance for salvation of many who almost blindly confide into nowadays leadership which by great steps goes toward thorough apostates off the belief and faith which will be created in the vast number of our local churches. It is the great truth that many members of the congregation would not obey God`s invitation for awakening because of which they will cross to the membership of the opoonents and accept the laws of new world order which would thoroughly oppress God`s Law and authority. All those who only formaly confess the truth but are not consecrated by it, do not have love toward the Savior and they will deny Him just like Hebrews denied Him. Denial of Christ by the Hebrew people and their staying under roman yoke of that time is the picture of Christ`s denial by the majority of the seventh day Adventist which will in the time of issuance of sunday laws deny the Savior and bowed to the new Roman Catholic authority with the Pope on its head – as the new world order supreme governor "whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2. Thessalonians 2,8-12.)

Congregation Members

In this last days, when the present leadership of the SDA Church - because of rejection of all previous invitations onto devotion to God and conscious violation of God`s commandements – is replaced by the means through which the Lord himself, until the Christ second coming, will announce his will, there would not be any kind of respect of false authorities nor anybody who does not respect God`s Law could become a member of Congregation. From the moment when this last news of the True Witness would become confirmed through special manifestation of God`s force, and when not long after that it reached all our churches, Congregation of the seventh-day Adventists will in the eyes of God be represented by those who will truly live in accordance with His will: "Even so then at this present time also there is a Remnant according to the election of grace." (Romans 11,5.) God`s Remnants will be only those who support His commandments (Revelation 12,17), while all other who stay resistent in their remorseless behavior – would be thrown up as it was announced in the message issued to the Laodicean church (Revelation 3,16)

In the closest bond to these several subjects I have written here in this topic is also the interpretation of the text from the twelvth topic of the book of Revelation which reads: "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." (Revelation 12,17) From the content of this chapter it is clearly seen that a woman – who in the symbol represents the Church (Isaiah 54,5-6; Jer. 3,12-14; 31; 32; 2. Cor. 12,2). (In this case God`s) - experiences a great decay of falling apart, which is seen from the fact that after the great sift which will happen only the scarce Remnants who keep to God`s commandments and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, about which I, partly, wrote also in the introductory part under the title: "Spiritual gifts in the congregation of Remnants". According to the ancient Adventistic interpretation the text from Revalation 12,17. represents the description of SDA Church who has right doctrine about God`s commandments and has the testimony of Jesus Christ in the gift of prophecy given to Ellen G. White. But, it is a major and thought out fraud – not only mistake, which reveals the text itself in which it is written that the Remnants would keep to commandments, which obviously is not fulfilled in the time of E. White who with all given strength fought against non-believing in Congregation, by calls, reprimands, advice and scolds. So, as the Holy God`s Word non ambiguously says, and events confirm – Remnants of the last period of time can not be nowdays Adventistic Church in which sifting had not happened behind which will stay only those who  really keep to God`s commandments. "For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, [yet] a Remnant of them shall return..." "Thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall throughly glean the Remnant of Israel as a vine..." (Isaiah 10.22. Jeremiah 6,9) That these prophesies refer also on the last period of time show the prophecy from the second chapter of the book of the prophet Joel referring to the last final time: "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the Remnant whom the Lord shall call." (Joel 2,31-32)

On more proof added to this is also the fact that in the previous history of Adventistic Church nothing had happened to show itself as special Satan anger toward it, because – on great regret and shame - advent people still sleeps by deathly spiritual sleep so the cunning enemy of God and people does not have a great major reason for anger. Prophecy about the enormous war Satan would lead against the God`s Remnants in the full scale will asquire its realization only in the time after awakening and sifting, when the believers return to reverency and mighty force of the Apostle Church.

Spirit of prophecy also witnesses about that: "It will come to sifting. Chaff must be on time separated from the weat. Since the lawlessness is multiplied love of the many become colder. It is just the time when the true Christians would be the strongest." (Letter 46-1887)

“Those religious bodies who refuse to hear God's messages of warning will be under strong deception, and will unite with the civil power to persecute the saints. The Protestant churches will unite with the papal power in persecuting the commandment-keeping people of God... This lamb-like power unites with the dragon in making war upon those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ." (14 MR. Page 162-1889).

Those revelations of the Spirit of prophecy non ambiguouslyplace this event into the future – by no means into the past as it is confirmed up to now, frankly, or by tacit approval.

One again, well known text from the book of prophet Danilo referring to the last period of time, also shows who would keep God`s Congregation of successors: "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." (Daniel 12,1) God`s Congregation does not make those whose names are written into church books kept by nonconsecrated people not asking the God for advice, but those whose names are "written in heaven" - "in the Lamb's book of life." (Luke 10,20; Revalation 21,27). It is the utmost time that people of God  understand that.

All those who – beside these clear advice of God`s Words and warnings issued off His throne – still keep close to nowadays organization led by non-converted men through whon God not in any case can speek nor guide His people, at the end they would loose any faith and would decay together with them. God says: "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." (Matthew 15,14)

In order not to understand anything wrong, at the end of this chapter, I repeat the most significant; meaning that Till wthe Church would not fall, because until at least one seventh-day Adventist exists who really lives according to all illumination of the ancient Advent science based on correct interpretation of the Holy Script and papers of the Spirit of prophecy, it can not fall, nor it would ever happen, but nowadays organization of Church would finally and thoroughly fall, its nonconsecrated authorities and all those who refuse this last God`s call to awakening. God`s Congregation of Remnants will be organized in the way the SDA Church is organized and generaly God`s Church of all times has to be organized: on the foundations of directly immediate God`s leadership through spiritual gifts for which it is clearey written that they are given for the growth of Church until the time of Christ`s second coming: "And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ." (Ephesians 4,11-13) So, according to the Holy Script, Church which does not  have the presence of spiritual gifts is not a real Church at all, so it can not be organized according to God`s will, so organization is truly needed, in other words reform - as it is most often called.

“BEHOLD, I WILL SEND MY MESSENGER...”

Malachi 3,1.

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see [it] together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken [it]” (Isaiah 40,3-5)

“It was long since Israel had had a prophet, long since such a reformation as was now in progress had been witnessed. The demand for confession of sin seemed new and startling. Many among the leaders would not go to hear John's appeals and denunciations, lest theyshould be led to disclose the secrets of their own lives. Yet his preaching was a direct anouncement of the Messiah.

A multitude were gathered, listening to his words, when the delegates approached. With an air of autority designed to impress the people, and to command the deference of the prophet, the haughty rabbis came. With a movement of respect, almost of fear, the crowd opened to let them pass. The great men, in their rich robes, in the pride of rank and power, stood before the prophet of the wilderness. 'Who art thou?' they demanded... 'that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?' 'I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaias.'

The scripture to which John referred is that beautiful prophecy of Isaiah: 'Comfort ye , comfort ye My people, saith your God. Spek ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto hear, that her appointed time is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned... The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see [it] together.'

Anciently, when a king journeyed through the less frequented parts of his dominion, a company of men was sent ahead of the royal chariot to level the steep places and to fill up the hollows that the king might travel in safety and without hindrance. This custom is employed by the prophet to illustrate the work of the gospel. 'Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low.' When the Spirit of God, with its marvelous awakening power, touches the soul, it abases human pride. Wordly pleasure and position and power are seen to be worthless. 'Imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,' are cast down; every thought is brought into captivity 'to the obedience of Christ.' Then humility and self-sacrificing love, so little valued among men, are exalted as alone of worth. This is the work of the gospel, of which John's message was a part.” (DA 134-135)

“John proclaimed the coming of the Messiah, and called the people to repetance. As a symbol of cleansing from sin, he baptized them in the waters of the Jordan. Thus by a significants object-lesson he declared that those who clamed to be the chosen people of God were defiled by sin, and that without purification of heart and life they could have no part in the Messiah's kingdom.”

He “declared to the teachers of Israel that their pride, selfishness, and cruelty showed them to be a generation of vipers, a deadly curse to the people, rather then the children of just and obedient Abraham. In view of the light they had received from God, they were even worse then the heathen, to whom they felt so much superior. They had forgotten the rock whence they were hewn, and the hole of the pit from which they had been digged. God was not depended upon them for the fulfilling of His purpose. As He had called Abraham out from a heathen people, so He could call others to His service. Their hearts might now appear as lifeless as the stones of the desert, but His Spirit could quicked them to do His will, and receive the fulfilment of His promise.

'And now also,' said the prophet, 'the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewn down, and cast into the fire.' Not by its name, but by its fruit, is the value of a tree determined. If the fruit is worthless, the name cannot save the tree from destruction. John declared to the Jews that their standing before God was to be decided by their character and life. Profession was worthless. If their life and character were not in harmony with God's low, they were not His people.

Under his heart-searching words, his hearers were convicted. They came to him with the inquiry, 'What shall we do then?' He answered, 'He that hath meat, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.' And he warned the publicans against injustice, and the soldiers against violence.

All who became the subjects of Christ's kingdom, he said, would give evidence of faith and repentance. Kindness, honesty, and fidelity would be seen in their lives. They would minister to the needy, and bring their offerings to God. They would shield the defenseless, and give and example of virtue and compassion. So the followers of Christ will give evidence of the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. In the daily life, justice, mercy, and the love of God, will be seen. Otherwise they are like the chaff, that is given to the fire.” (DA 104.106-107)

The last prophecy of the Old Testament about Elijah who will come (Malachi 4,5-6), partly fulfilled by the mission of John the Baptist, as well as the service of the first Advent messanger of the Lord Jesus Christ – Ellen G. White her final and thorough fulfillment experiences just in these last days of history, before the very close second coming of the Savior of the world; because, as Elijah himself - as the preemage of the last Advent messanger of the Lord Jesus Christ - was ascended to Heaven not experiencing death itself, so it would be in the final realization of this prophecy which is given in order to enable God`s people prepare themselves and open their hearts for the message which God today sends by His chosen means.

However, although clearly exists such prophecy which had been more then two thousand years ago announced this last deed for awakening and reform of God`s people, a many seventh-day Adventist who had the choice to accept this last call, refused to do so because they have been thought for a long period of time that after the service of Ellen G. White, God would not speak to His people in this way any more by which openly was despised the science of the Holy Script concerning spiritual gifts without which Church could not go toward prosperity in any way. By entering of this heresy, Satan, as one of the best connoisseur of the Holy Script – prepared the terrain for rejecting of this news which comes from God`s throne itself. This heresy is thoroughly pleasant to the non-consecrated leaders of Congregation who do not want to change their sinful way of living, nor to obey God`s authority which vould have to be respected in order to accept the possibility – even inevitability of God`s turning attention to His people by the media of the Spirit of prophecy. In this way they stand opposite to the God himself and are closing the doors of salvation to many of them who would rather differently took their stand if there had not been the fatal heresy by which the Church is crowded. They do not want to enter, and they do not allow the others to do so. Because of that, great God`s condemnation is placed on them, as Lord Jesus said: "But woe unto you... hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in [yourselves], neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." (Matthew 23,13) It is the reason that it is very important and essential to refuse all beforehead issued opinions, in order that the truth could "hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." (2. Corinthians 4,6) Spirit of prophecy says about that the following: “We must not trust to others to search the Scriptures for us. Some of our leading brethren have frequently taken their position on the wrong side; and if God would send a message and wait for these older brethren to open the way for its advancement, it would never reach the people."! (GW 303)

"But beware of rejecting that which is truth... Those who have not been in the habit of searching the Bible for themselves, or weighing evidence, have confidence in the leading men and accept the decisions they make; and thus many will reject the very messages God sends to His people, if these leading brethren do not accept them. " (TM 107).

"The Lord has shown me that men in responsible positions are standing directly in the way of His work because they think the work must be done and the blessing must come in a certain way, and they will not recognize that which comes in any other way." (5.T 726).

"Some have asked me if I thought there was any more light for the people of God. Our minds have become so narrow that we do not seem to understand that the Lord has a mighty work to do for us. Increasing light is to shine upon us; for "the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." (CW 34-35) "Path of righteousness is like the bright clear daylight seeing which shines constantly until the right day appears" (Proverbs 4,18)

The last God`s words from the prophecy of Malachi "...lest I come and smite the earth with a curse", also show that it in the fullest sense relates to the time of Jesus second coming because only then it would be »the day of revenge« "A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers." Lord Jesus himself said: "And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be." (Isaiah 63,4; Zephaniah 1,16; Revalation 22,12)

Lift up your heads, O gates;

and be lifted up, O everlasting doors;

and the King of glory shall come in.

Who [is] this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty,

the Lord mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O gates;

even lift up, O everlasting doors;

and the King of glory shall come in.

Who [is] this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts,

He [is] the King of glory. Selah.

Psalm 24,7-10

The word of Lord of costs: “Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel... for the day of the Lord cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand... 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: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” (Amos 4,12; Joel 2,1; 1. Thesalonians 4,16-18)

“AND AT THAT TIME SHALL MICHAEL STAND UP...”

Daniel 12,1.

According to God`s will and order, in this chapter I carry out the content of several night visions which uncover the plans of enemies of God`s work which putting into effect would be tried in the time of presenting triple angel news to the world. Beside this, I proclaim also three testimonies about the work of reform which will, beside many oppositional protest, under immediate God`s guidance and blessing, terminate in time, and in the way He determined.

On  the seventh day of June 2003, during the night appearance I saw one Christian with the looks of a very consecrated person comes out of a building in which he temporatily resided and starts off toward his aim. Hawever, beside a great obvious extent of consecration that man reached, his upper part of his body was totaly nude. He, course, was aware of the fact that being a Christian means that in no case he could be so scarcely dressed appearing in public places, but his conscience ordered him to fulfill this upleasant but ordered by God duty to the end. The street he moved downward was only one of the crowded streets of the great city filled with many people who, during the hot burning weather of that season moved more scarcely dressed than it was the case with him, who - only a few steps he made, a policeman, standing not far from the building he came out of, arrested because of indencent looks by which event the vision finished.

When the policeman saw his appearance on his face arouse the expresion of nonhidden malice and triumph which, according to clear witnessing of the Holy Spirit which I received in these moments, showed that the policeman is by plan placed on, this spot in order to watch the Christian with the aim to deprive him of his freedom if he made any mistake.

This revelation in which partial nudity of a Christian is only a symbal of the greatness of the mistake he »made« in that moment, showed the nature of attitude which temporary authorities of this world would have toward those who would stay faithful to God by abeying His Law beside all the things that would happen in these hard times.

During one out of the two night appearances which I received in the night between January 2nd. and January 3rd.2003 I was watching the armed action of men dressed in the police uniforms with, seemingly, thoroughly regular designation of this organ of state security. In the Holy Spirit founding which was given to me during the acceptance of this sight, it was shown to me that the men who realized this action with the aim to arrest and after that murder the members of God`s people, were not policemen but mercenaries of one enemy organization who used police uniforms in order to arrest us by fraud and later take our lives knowing that in the Holy Script it was written that authorities should be obeyed and respected, because those enemies of God and people will try to misuse in the time when human laws still do not ask for death of those who will submit to them in the things opposite to uncomparably sublime God`s Law.

These revelations are given with the intention to become the help to the defenders of God`s truth in the hard times that stand in front of us, in order to avoid cunning traps our numberous enemies would place before us, from which hard strong and merciful God`s hand will protect us but if even then somebody becomes invited to lay his life let it be to the glory of our Savior.

In the same night, in the symbolic picture I was shown the questionnaire which in one of American associations of alcoholics was conducted by the group of journalists and television broadcasting stations employees. All I have heard was the statement of a man of ugly untidy appearance who belonged to the group of greatest alcohol addicts whose conciousness about reality of world he lives in is darkened to the extent that almost nothing exists which would move him out of his numbness. However, beside that, in the moments when he answered the questions of the reporters, on his face was the expession that usaually have those who are faced with immediate deathly danger, concious of the end that came closer to them. By a very moving voice solemnly he uttered the folowing words: "Even we alcoholics are exicited because of that which will soon happen".

I don`t know if in America really exists t he association of alcoholics or it represented only symbols but I surely know that God, by its revelation – in which he in the picturesque way, by the sight from modern everyday life showed the seriousness of great events we tend toward - gave one more stimulus that being the carriers of the last news we understand that American nation should be given the last warning concerning the fact that mercy should vanish first for it as to the country which will first issue the law concerning obligatory celebration of Sunday. This warning must be stated as soon as possible in the power of the Holy Spirit.

In the beginning of December 2002, during the night vision which by its content affaches to the revalation I stated in the testimony number three under the title "Jerusalem, Jerusalem..." it was shown to me that I – like in the mentioned revalation in which I threw out garbage from the truck which symbolicaly represented Congregation in its present temporary state – also with the groom in the hand, thoroughly terminated the work of cleaning clearly restricted area which symbolicaly presented the territory of God`s people, or Congregation. Cleaning of garbage by groom is the well known symbol for the reform by which God in the close recent past used when to William Miller in the night appearance showed almost identical deed. Content of revalation given by this know reformator, is enrolled into »Early writings" of the Spirit of prophecy. (EW 81-83). Both revalations carry the same clear message.

The same night I received one more vision also of symbolic content in which I found myself in one perfectly cultivated garden with great number of plants each of which had its determined place and beautiful clear water from the full garden can line by line watered just grown ofsprings of flowers. Unambiguosly shown testimony of the Holy Spirit pointed to the symbolicis with which Apostle Paul used in his turning to the Corinthians. "Who then is Paul, and who [is] Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." (1. Corinthians 3,5-7) Also this revelation has shown successful development of God`s work and is given as the sign and encouragement to His people.

What is my duty to emphasize before I describe the following revalation it that beside strange picture by which he make use from many reasons from which some of them will become famous to those who will be open for it – God in any case does not support competitive sports in which there are no place for real true Cristians which is strenghtened by the fact that the part takers in modern sports are very immoraly dressed in the way which is far beyond basic human dignity.

At the end of 2002 God, in the night vision, future events by which this last deed for awakening of Advent people will be confirmed, has shown me by symbolic picture of modern content – beautiful combination of player of one football team which at that time was the champion of Europe and the World.

In this appearance I found myself inside one room in which, beside myself, were some of my closest relatives, I remember that I was comfortably accommodated in my bed in front of which was a great television set, which immediately became the main subject of my attention. The very picture was of such a beautiful colour that with full peace I can say that I have never seen such beautiful sight. Contrasts were very significant and nice. Most beautiful green colours which reflected the grassy carpet was the real cure to one's eye, but special beauty had the players sports wears which ornamented increadible whiteness weaved by the motives of most beautiful red colour that can be ever imagined. There is a great symbolism in these colours. As soon as I fixed my attention onto the television set I acquired strong impression that I am - at that moment, beside I was already a spectator – also one of the players who just at that moment started the only and the winning action during that competition. It was shown to me only the greatest part of the opponent's terrain on which one of the players from the nearest right corner of "sixteen meters" forwarded diagonal straightline "pass" toward opponent's "corner" line. It seemed impossible to reach this ball because it was kicked with great speed and on the left side, in that moment, there where no players in red-white sport jerseys. But, while I was watching this player, I had clear testimony that he, very well, knows what he was doing, and that this, seemingly thoroughly uncatchable "pass", in fact is the effect of entirely precise calculation. In the moment when it looked as if the ball will come out of the terrain, on the left side, from the part of the terrain which was unseen, suddenly appeared One Player who, obviously by superhuman speed, ran the distance to the ball and at the first touch, with perfect preciseness, forwarded it toward the middle edge of "sixteen meters" where, in the meanwhile, himself found a player from which this action actually started. By strong "volley" kick, he, very thoughtfully, through many of opponent's players forwarded the kick toward the goal. By arrow speed, in beautiful straight line fly, ball by the only possible path went between all abstacles and shot lower part of bar and bounced off into the net. During the whole duration of this action, it was obvious that players in dark sports wear beside the greatest effort did not have had any slightest possibility to touch the ball at least. Power of the winning team was so great that the arbitrar immediately announced the end of the game.

Later, when I prayed for the understanding of this revelation, it was shown to me that it carries the same message as the one which I stated at the end of the third book of notes, in the chapter under the title: "And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom" which represents the sight of nowadays flow of action until the God Jesus himself for the second time appears to finaly make the end to the long lasting history of sin. And in that revelation entirely sudden, overhuman intervention of That Whom is – in symmbolic picture – conducted the »automobile«, or by Congregation of the Remnants of God`s people of the last time. In both cases God`s revalation showed that it will come to intervention in the moments when, on sight, there would not be such possibilities for the winning campaign of his last deed for awakening and reform of the Advent people.

“... AND CONFIRMING THE WORD WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING.”

Mark 16,20.

To one of my previous associates – who at sometime, while were in congregation with God, also received  somedetermined revalations – in the night vision was shown the first, key event in the row of those events by which God would confirm His deed. In one of the letters we exchanged during our cooperation there is his writting note about that, which I, by God`s will, state as the most suitable testimony about this topic:

"Concerning the dream of confirmation of the act, I have already written about those part I remember and which were specialy significant and had personal message for myself and for all of us - that their growth is the precondition that has to be fulfilled for it. In the first dream we were together gathered but separated in such a way which will be best called regular activities in which everyone takes the accupation of his place as the part of one entity. Our attention was attracted by the event we all quickly understood that relates to the fact we expect and represents also final confirmation of this deed. I have seen that all happened so spontaneously and unexpectedly as it found us in great work in which we did not have time to prepare. Everyone is cought in the state of his work he was doing and in the spiritual hight he reached so the reactions were in accordance with it. Of all present people I specialy noticed ..... also his reaction. He said: "I knew that God would use Milan". After that I saw myself. I reacted in the way because of which after awakening and even now under impression that it was in one instance non adequate, simmilar to the way in which people of this world celebrate sports success. In the shape of concentric circles news would at first slowly and in surprisingly small volume spread but we all are clearly convinced that explosion happened after which nothing could stop the entrance of news which we did not and for which we lay all that is in ourselves. What I would add just now to this first impression is the fact that I clearly saw you how you return from the place on which it happened and ties the watch on your wrist. Your face I would describe as the impression of the soldier who returns from battle and without pause starts off for the other battles. I acquired unerrasible impression that it is a very, very close and I pray regularly that it happens according to the will of God as it finishes all that which is necessary up to that moment".

In the preparatory version of one of this writings this brother expressed this revelation by the following words:

"In the Beginning of May 2003 I received two dreams in one sequence which showed two events of the future. First event will have enormous reverberation in the crowd of Remnants and among the people of this world. I saw the moment when the work of reform and awakening the seventh-day Adventists is confirmed by obvious and seen sign from Heaven, as it has always been the case through history, when God denoted real true preaching of Gospel-by one miracle. For this act of deed one of the brothers was used with whom this deed started by public work. Through his hand God will show on obvious way to all that He is the one who sapports this deed. Sincere and consecrated face of this brather reflected heavenly glow and determination and his faith looked infront of his, ready to take up immediately the new task from God.

I have seen scarce number of Remnants. On some faces fatigue was seen caused by eagerness for the cause of God. They could be very glad and happy for this event. On my great regret it was only a small group of people in comparison to the whole Israelites. Other adventists could not be happy. To them this event was not of any use because they refused to listen to God`s word which was long enough sent to them. They did not consecrate themselves by the truth so this deed of light and illumination was only the cause to go to much deeper darkness, until the utmost darkness "where there is cry and teeth gnashing". Here most clearly in my life I realized what does it mean not to abey God`s invitation on time.

News about this event unstoppingly spread through the whole world in concentrical circles. It was shown to me that the determined number of souls in the short time will decide to join this movement. The Great number of baptising will occur."

“In visions of the night, representations passed before me of a great reformatory movement among God's people. Many were praising God. The sick were healed, and other miracles were wrought. A spirit of intercession was seen, even as was manifested before the great Day of Pentecost. Hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families and opening before them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of genuine conversion was manifest. On every side doors were thrown open to the proclamation of the truth. The world seemed to be lightened with the heavenly influence.”(9T 126)
