Came across a letter to the Adventist review that was printed a number of years ago

some months ago we received a letter from Bobby we don't know how old body as we
suspect Bobby as a teenager or young adult the letter went like this one question has
consistently bothered me to the point where I can no longer keep quiet is a question that
I believe is fundamental to my life it is become a thorn in the flesh not to ask it so I ask
you this question what is a Seventh-day Adventist and more important why are you a
Seventh-day Adventist I think we need to ask the question more often than we do we
kind of assume we have 28's fundamental beliefs we know what we believe we know
what we stand for at the cross when Jesus said it is finished salvation was assured for
everyone who chose to believe in him as his or her Savior it was done salvation is yours
if you want it were there any Seventh-day Adventists around the cross that I mean card-
carrying Seventh-day Adventist 28 fundamental beliefs not a single one God got the job
of saving humanity done without the need for a single Seventh-day Adventist he did
meet us at all were just glad it got done in 40 days later Jesus returned back to heaven
to begin a brand-new work of priestly high priestly ministry in the heavenly sanctuary to
minister the benefits of his sacrifice to all who want to look to him for help were there
any Seventh-day Adventists in that upper room that day praying for the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit again not a single one… Job done without us to so what are we for why
are we here what did God call us to do would you take your Bible and will look to some
Bible text this morning without which there would be no Seventh-day Adventist church
the first one is Revelation 14 you know about that one it's about three angels flying in
the midst of heaven Revelation chapter 14 and verse seven the first of the three angels
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 in the fountains of
water the hour of his judgment is, that began in the year 1844 and we have never been
the same sense about winded the Seventh-day Adventist church come into existence
about same time around that period of time and could it be that the point and the reason
for the existence of the Seventh-day Adventist church has something to do with that
change in the ministry of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary the great controversy has
been going on for a long long time Satan has been waging war against God and his
ways been claiming that God's way is unfair God is unjust his plan doesn't work and you
know where he had his best success in accusing God not out there in the Philistine
world not over in Syria right in his chosen people that's really it is best ammunition seat
look at them they claim to believing you look at what they're doing right now look at what
they're saying your way doesn't work God it's a fraud and yell things got very very bad
turn to the book of Daniel with me they got so bad that God had to let them go into
captivity to see if he could save a few of them and it got so bad that in the eighth
chapter of Daniel Daniel hears and sees something which is very very important to us
today Daniel chapter 8 verse 13 is a question he hears then I heard one saint speaking
and another Saints that about certain saint which spake how long shall be the vision
concerning the daily sacrifice and the transgression of desolation to give both the
sanctuary and the host to be trodden underfoot that's a long question let's simplify it
how long will Satan be winning the battle were in captivity the Temple was destroyed we
have no place to worship you will Satan win is it too late is it all over that's the question
that is being asked how long will Satan be on top and I'm very thankful verse 14 and he
said unto me under 2000 and 300 days then shall the sanctuary the plan the answer
Daniel be very patient this is not a quick fix this is going to take a long time it will be way
beyond your lifetime Daniel but I promise God says I promise that Satan will not win
that's the answer Satan will be defeated ill take a lot of struggle and a lot of pain but he
will not win the battle then shall the sanctuary the sanctuary is God's way of handling
this world's sin problem the problem of tragedy and pain and suffering this is God's
answer the sanctuary will be under that word plans does a number of great meanings it
shall be put right it shall be vindicated it shall be set right it shall be justified and yes it
shall be plans to this is a very important text to understand who we are turn to another
one Romans chapter 31 we don't often think of Romans chapter 3 and were going to
read verse four Romans chapter 3 and verse four God forbid you let God be true but
every man a liar as it is written that the bow might just be justified in by sayings and
mightiest overcome when thou art judged we said that the hour of his judgment is come
maybe it is a lot more to do than we think yes we know we will be judged but it says
right here that God is being judged by whom by his entire universe the God we worship
has put his system and himself and his character on trial before the entire universe and
he says I will let my created beings determine who is telling the truth and who is lying I
will abide by their decision when all the evidences in the bow might just be justified and
mightiest overcome when thou art judged now we will all agree that Jesus Christ
vindicated God's character beautifully when he was on this earth he told the truth about
God but I found an interesting statement reviewing Herald April 16, 1901 all heaven is
waiting to hear us vindicate God's law so something more needs to be done apparently
before this battle can come to an end something has to do with us and our statements
about who we believe is telling the truth all heaven is waiting to hear us vindicate God's
law journey with me back to the book of Revelation same place we started revelation
chapter 14 and sometimes we forget that yes there are three angels that fly in the midst
of heaven but before they are described there is a group of people that are described in
the first five verses and look at the very at the fifth verse it is remarkable revelation
chapter 14 verse five and in their mouth this group of people was found no guile that
means deceit or hypocrisy or false fronts for they are without fault before the throne of
God can convert people that one off to have a people that have no guile and deception
of any kind in their hearts and their motives in their attitudes and they are going to be
without fault before the throne of God can God do that may be may be the reason the
three angels don't quite yet have the power that God designed them to have is the
people are fully formed that God said would be for maybe the two go together in terms
of when we will see the power of the three Angels messages and desire of ages page
671 the honor of God the honor of Christ is involved in the perfection of the character of
his people this is not about us and about how good we are and how many things we
have accomplished it's the honor of God because only God can pull this one off is God's
name at stake Kenny develop a people like we just read in Revelation chapter 14 can
he do it Satan says no God says wait and see and this is the heart and soul of war talk
about and I think it's very significant that Ellen White calls this the final atonement the
final part of the atoning process begun in the garden of Eden culminated on Calvary and
finished in the last generation the final part of the atoning process so very simply I
believe that the purpose of Seventh-day Adventist and the reason God called this group
of into existence is to put the final nail in Satan's coffin to put the final accusation of
Satan to rest for all eternity that God cannot pull together a people who are totally
obedient to him 100% of the time give the lie to that statement now how do we vindicate
God's name how is this done let me read a statement or two I think you get the picture
desire of ages page 309 all who break God's commandments now minibuses that
include old why all of us who break God's commandments are sustaining Satan's claims
that the law is unjust and cannot be obeyed thusly second the deceptions of the great
adversary and cast dishonor upon God that you realize that every time we knowingly
disobey God we are giving Satan credibility in his arguments against the character and
the laws and the government of God Satan says human beings with fallen nature's born
in a world of sin Really obey all of the time they can obey some of the time they can do
better but they can't be totally obedient it's impossible for instance one of the hardest
commandments Jesus ever day and we don't think of it as a commandment he said turn
the other cheek and we say if I turn the other cheek people walk all over me all have no
dignity left I can't let them slap me in the face a second time and at that moment we are
saying Satan is more reasonable than God Satan's way is more logical I can live with
that God's way is too hard it's unfair it's not reasonable and we sustain Satan's charges
she continues in another statement in great controversy page 489 if those who hide an
excuse their faults how many of us of done that seem first of all we do something wrong
and then what we do we cover it up until finally we have to admit it and when we finally
have to admit we blame someone else if she hadn't said it to me I wouldn't of said it to
her if those who hide an excuse their faults could see how Satan exalts over them how
he taunts Christ in holy Angels with their course they would hasten to confess their sins
and put them away now please notice the motivation therefore confessing your sins it
isn't because you're afraid of going to hell it isn't because you want a home in heaven
she says if we could see how Satan exalts over us when were hiding and excusing our
sin how Satan is just laughing and just exalting how he taunts Christ and holy Angels
with our course is not worried about the people out there who don't believe in God he is
concerned about the ones who say they are Christians and especially those who say
they are Seventh-day Adventists and is looking for ways in which we discredit God's
name and prove it God's way doesn't work and he taunts Christ and holy Angels with
our course in other words she says if we could just have our eyes open if we can see
the world that's invisible to us if we could see what's happening up there when we
deliberately disobey and then cover up at excuse if we could see that then we would
hasten to confess our sins and put them away there's a better reason for living obedient
lives than a fear of hell or even the hope of heaven there are bigger issues at stake and
I believe we have been called to the kingdom for such a time as this so I'm saying
simply that I believe that our reason for existence our motivation our purpose is the
vindication of God's name and the ending of the great controversy rather than my
assurance of salvation and my hope of eternal life the vindication of God's name and
the ending of the great controversy said God has saved people all down the centuries
since Jesus died he has saved people in countless situations even those who were
somewhat ignorant of his ways but were honest and heart God will save everyone he
possibly can he didn't need us to get that job done the didn't need us at all he had done
that so beautifully before we ever got on the scene our job is a different job our job is
about ending the great controversy our job is about finishing up what God started what
Satan started and what God is trying to solve couple of things I come across that dumb I
think are worth the at least some thought this one comes from individual in the biblical
research division of the general conference he said a friend recently spent three weeks
on an Adventist college campus during his visit he taught a class and spoke with scores
of students is most disturbing finding he told me was that most had no concept of the
Adventist church as anything more than one of scores of evangelical churches each
churches student told him emphasize some aspect of truth the Pentecostals emphasize
spiritual gifts the Baptist emphasized baptism by immersion the Avenue the Adventist
emphasize the 10 Commandments yes God has a church but it is scattered throughout
all the churches a remnant church are we losing our identity are we losing our sense of
what we are and who we are and why God has called us into existence are we missing
the most important part of the name Seventh-day Adventist the editor of our cyber
school lessons put it this way today some among us even assert not only that we are
not that different from other churches but that we shouldn't be after all that we don't
have something unique something better to offer why not be like everyone else despite
those voices many of us still believe that God raised up the Seventh-day Adventist
church not because he wanted just another denomination but because he has given us
something different something better to proclaim to the world if you hadn't what
justification do we have for our existence and what he is given us are crucial distinctive
trues that make us Seventh-day Adventists not Lutherans not Episcopalians not Baptist
not Methodist but Adventist Seventh-day Adventists these teachings make up a distinct
message that no one else is proclaiming and because no one else it had is we have to
that's in fact why were here there's an individual that some of you may have heard
some of his presentations on tapes many years ago or even some in written form his
name is W D4 Z and that he has something that really I think it's to the heart of why
were here and what this is all about he said whether his people understood it or not
Christ could go to the cross and make it plain later is not what happened that anyone
did any single individual on planet Earth understand what was really happening when
Jesus Christ said it is finished and he had to explain it all later even to his own disciples
then in 1844 whether anyone on earth understood it or not he could move from the holy
to the most holy place to explain it all later and agenda happened that way Jesus began
a new ministry a final ministry in his heavenly sanctuary that would change everything
from that moment on and not one person on earth understood what was happening
even those who would been proclaiming Christ soon return for several years had no
clue but he can't close his work in the most holy place and explain it later because later
would be to lay this is the first time in human history that probation will close for every
human being on planet Earth it came mighty close in Noah's time to but even after no
no I didn't get it all right and he had to repent after that time so this is completely
different for the whole human race there will be no second chance no changing teams
this is the final decision and of Jesus closed his work in the heavenly sanctuary took off
his robes of mercy put on his robes of justice and came down to this or to explain it all
later it would be too late now we see why the bridegroom is Terry White time is
continued on since 1844 Jesus has slowed his pace that he may walk with us is just
slowed right down because he cares about us and he said it this way again this can't be
like the cross when he went ahead without his church is understanding this can be like
1844 when he moved as the prophetic clock struck the hour this time the clock will not
strike until his church is ready we been here over time and were still here and Christ will
wait as long as it takes so his church is ready to move with him there's a text in a movie
or book of Revelation again that we must look at Revelation chapter 19 Revelation 19
beginning with verse seven Revelation 19 verse seven let us be glad and rejoice and
give honor to him for the marriage of the Lamb is calm and his wife have made herself
ready and her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen clean and white for
the fine linen is the righteousness of saints and he says under the right Blessed are they
which are called on to the marriage supper of the Lamb and the seven to me these are
the true sayings of God that's our mission the marriage supper of the Lamb being called
to it the righteousness of Christ totally no flaws no blemishes pure righteousness that
robe worn for the rest of eternity someone said very well Seventh-day Adventists have
no final destiny but to share in bringing about the ultimate sovereignty of God in the
world that's our destiny to bring about the end of Satan's reign on this earth the
sovereignty of God's plan his purpose and his ideals for us was change gears for just a
minute what was the purpose of God in calling Israel into existence because many
Israelites saved as possible right or was that not it at all was not Israel supposed to be
the beacon light throughout the entire known world so that if you wanted to know about
the God of heaven the true God not the false gods of the Babylonians but the true God
in heaven the creator God you come to Jerusalem to find out their techs in the Old
Testament that says it will be highways built from all parts of the world to Jerusalem
Jerusalem was designed to be the capital of the world not to get as many Israelites
saved as possible but for Israel to reach out to the world and draw people to God to find
them and help them know the true God in great darkness well how do they do the digit
that job done and we know the tragic story they drew into themselves and carried their
trues around with them and looked at other people as inferior that we are better than
other people and and finally they crucified the one who had come to deliver them all
right what is the purpose of the Seventh-day Adventist church to get as many Adventists
in heaven right as possible to have a nice Seventh-day Adventist enclave up there we
can fellowship like her having today or could it be that our purpose is exactly the same
as the purpose of the Israelites you want to know about the true God not the God of
Burns people in hell for all eternity not the God who will take a baby but is never done
anything wrong and consign them to him or her to hell because that baby happens to be
born with a bad nature not that God the kind of God that the Bible describes the Bible
teaches the God who is loving the God was merciful and just just and totally fair are we
not the ones who have been given more information about that God than any other
group of people on planet Earth and are we not to share that as much as we can with
people in fact a couple of statements here from Ellen White once again through the
church eventually will be made manifest the final and full display of the love of God to
the world that is to be light with its glory through what the church the final and full
display of the love of God that's testimonies to ministers page 50 well folks are we
dealing in our mission of sharing this message with everyone that we can possibly do it
these are some surveys that were taken this one was done on quite a few years ago in
the year 1986 it was reported on a survey a Gallup poll about what people know about
Seventh-day Adventists they found that 70% of the respondents have heard or read
about the Seventh-day Adventist church they were asked what do you like best about
Seventh-day Adventists 52% left that line blank 21% did answer it nothing in particular
then asked the question what do you like least about Seventh-day Adventists 51% left
that line blank 20% said they didn't dislike anything in particular and the editor said the
church's failure to project a sharp image concerns me were there but what are we and
who are we and what's going on they took another survey this time in the 1995 this time
slightly more than half of the individual surveyed ever heard of the church it was 70%
now it's about 50% with a marked increase in the number who misidentifies with the
Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints or Jehovah's Witnesses so it didn't seem to
be improving a whole lot in that development they asked the question as they continued
this some of the 53% when you hear the name Seventh-day Adventist church what
comes to mind the majority says nothing they were asked but what what did the seven
day at what Seventh-day Adventist community to give to the community and community
service know you know them very well know that we have a very marvelous disaster
response team throughout the United States and the world Adra and community
services if there's a disaster where there and were on the job they had the 53% return of
us asked what contribution we make to community service nine out of 10 members 90%
said they had no idea we did anything so maybe we are getting the word out quite as
much as we hoped and as we thought and as we wish here is an interesting little
comment from mom Hank had a graph is the Bible answer man has had quite a
following and he knows Adventists very well he was asked what do you think about
Adventists today is answer it depends on which Seventh-day Adventist you're talking
about the denomination has become so diverse that one group bears little resemblance
to the next one how is that the way to get the message out about God his character his
plan and what's going on one group bears little resemblance to the next a recent study
in the six major cities in North America 66% of the populations don't know we exist 15%
know where a religious group 12% have inaccurate information so once again the polls
are telling us that we aren't quite the the well-known group that we sometimes think we
are could it be that we have kind of held our robes around us like the Jews did not share
what God has given us in his marvelous plan of salvation well our church is struggling a
little more than I'd like I'm not here to have a rose-colored glasses our church is not as
is proficient in doing the job it has been assigned to do but I managed one caution it can
become tempting these days when things are not as they should be in our beloved
Seventh-day Adventist church going to throw up our hands and say I'm tired of this
mess I don't want to mess around anymore with all the controversies and the problems
and the issues going on in churches and in conferences I'm just gonna go out there and
do some missionary work on my own I asked a simple question when the Jews were
about ready to seal their destiny as failures in God's plan did Christ do that but he walk
away from his people to go out there and just minister to the Samaritans in the Philistine
and the Philistines and the people around or did he spent most of his time trying to heal
his chosen movement is church to bring them back that we know it didn't work but he
tried and I think that needs to be our attitude today we need to be healers we need to be
helpers we don't need to be dark throwers we need to be part of the solution we need to
try to help as much as possible to follow the example of Jesus Christ I came across a
very interesting article by a former conference president were not talking about
someone who's out there opposing the church by any means the said music is made up
of three parts melody rhythm and accompaniment all three are essential but are not
equal in importance the melody should have the most prominent part and should not be
overshadowed by the rhythm or the accompaniment is not why some music doesn't
appeal to us is that Lauzon followed very carefully value wasn't talked about music the
evangelization of the world by means of extensive preaching teaching and printed
material the expenditure of large sums of money for campaigns buildings equipment
travel etc. vital though all these are do not in and of themselves fulfill the principal
commission entrusted to the remnant church these are not the melody at the most they
are the accompaniment I don't know about you but I've heard for a long time that the
mission of the Adventist church's evangelism that is why were here we are to go out and
give the message and bring people into the church he is saying that's not the principal
commission entrusted to the remnant church that's not the melody that's the
accompaniment to the melody the melody which is to bring forth sketchily at first but
evermore clearly is the song of victory over sin the song of Moses and the Lamb soaring
higher and higher closer it ever closer to the heavenly pattern further and further away
from the world to the climactic height of a full and final display of his grace in vessels of
clay but divested of all earthly Nissen testified on two by the declaration of the Angel
here is the patience of the Saints here are they that keep the commandments of God
and the faith of Jesus for the first time this testimony will be said of a whole community
of say that's what he's waiting for is now waiting for 30 million Seventh-day Adventist to
be baptized he's waiting for God's people to come in to total harmony with his will in
loving obedience and victory over Satan's deceptions here is the patience of the Saints
here are they that keep the commandments of God and then this conference president
gave us a warning led Laodicea be warned at one time David fell victim to the magic
influence of numbers that Satan inspired sport which so slyly leads to pride and self
complacency which so traditionally substitutes quantity for quality mediocrity for true
merit the charm exerted by numbers size and quantity if allowed to prevail will fill
Laodicea is pews with illegitimate children and swell her ranks with a mixed multitude
which as of old could bring her march to a standstill at another K dish Barney yeah God
forbid that such a thing should happen this man said that evangelism improperly or
carelessly done can destroy the Seventh-day Adventist church and its movement not
something we don't often think about as we love to hear the numbers how many were
baptized how many we came to the evangelistic meeting and that needs to be done but
it is the accompaniment is not the melody we need to get the horse and the cart in the
right order carts don't pull horses very well and we need to know what our motivation is
we need to know who we are what our purpose is why we are here and what God
designed for us to be there is something that came from the director of the biblical
research Institute at the Gen. conference he said dumb we really need to think for the
dangers the danger of going to mention is a real one is the danger of baptizing
individuals coming from a different current Christian tradition or a non-Christian
background who are not well informed about the biblical message they receive a brief
introduction to the Adventist message and their baptized there is little follow-up these
people are Adventist based on the little they've come to understand they retain some of
the ideas they brought in with them doctrinal and theological diversity is finding a place
in our local congregations and I'm afraid that yes there is more diversity then will
vindicate God's name right now and we did really really think seriously Ellen White said
we shall not gain the victory through numbers but through the full surrender of the soul
to Jesus we talk about finishing the work my friends the full surrender of the soul to
Jesus is finishing the work sons and daughters of God page 279 we need to rethink our
priorities we need to understand why we're here what our purpose is what God is calling
us to do so very simply what I'm saying is that the primary purpose of the Seventh-day
Adventist church is to vindicate God's name to show that his way is right by our loving
obedience and by our faithful witness and then our secondary purpose is Garrett caring
that message to everyone who will listen I think we need to get the car and the horse
straightened out if were going to finish the work that God has given us to do one last
text would you turn to Ezekiel chapter 33 I happen to believe that these profits spoke
more to our time than even to their time and I think this is one of them Ezekiel chapter
33 and ready to start on verse seven sold out Son of Man I have set the watchmen of
the house of Israel therefore thou shall hear the word of my mouth and warned them
from me what's the warning drop down to verse 10 therefore old out Son of Man speak
under the house of Israel Dusty speak saying if our transgressions and our sins be upon
us and we pined away in them how should we then live we just keep on sending we
keep on failing things are the way we want them to be our lives are the way they did that
God wants them to be we just go on and on and on sale to them as I live set the Lord
God I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked but that the wicked turn from his way
and live now the next two words turn the weather wicked once God is addressing here
Turnkey from your evil ways for why would you die all house of Adventism I don't think I
misread that verse I think Ezekiel speaking to us today why would you go on and on
and on in the cycle of sending and repenting and sending in repenting and never any
improvement turn before it's too late with friends even if sometimes we might be a little
Laodicea talk about Laodicea this morning our Sabbath school lesson even if we might
be sleepy if the fog is covering our eyes as to who we are what our purpose is why
we're here what the plan is one person knows very well what the destiny of Adventism is
and that is Satan he knows what's at stake here he knows that if he can keep God's
people sleeping along he gets a lot more time on planet Earth to run things and he
knows better God's people ever really do wake up his time is very short and he's
headed for a very ugly 1000 year. And I guarantee you Satan can do everything you can
to delay the beginning of the millennium casinos of the Bible says better than we do and
he will do everything he can to keep Adventist from understanding what it's all about so
we lays traps for us Adventists traps first trap is called the world there is so much that is
interesting out there just flip on the Internet and boy you're in another world all kinds of
interesting things to see to experience vicariously to participate in all the entertainments
that are on television that are so fascinating all the things around us that just draw our
attention away from the Bible and prayer and then there's the other thing just trying to
earn a living which is very tough right now and you spend all your time and your effort
fighting to earn a living and you have no time left for God there is just no time to talk to
the world is trap number one for those who are not to be deceived by that trap will not
succumb to the allure of the world or the pressure of the world Satan is another trap
goes like this come on church bring your Bibles and your Sabbath school lessons study
your Bibles pray do whatever Christians need to do and do it in the best way possible
just understand this gospel this understanding of salvation isn't quite what you thought it
is it doesn't require all that much all you have to do is just believe that Jesus loves you
and believe that he died on the cross for you and once you believe that it's done it's
finish your save your you're okay for the rest of eternity don't worry about these
standards so much don't worry about lifestyle so much that digital legalism you don't
want to go there you don't want to begin in all these picky little things about what you do
and don't do and all the rest of that just understand God loves you and he saves you
and just believe in his name and praise his name trap number two a false gospel it's
called cheap grace there are no requirements there are no conditions to salvation you
just believe that it's done and then you just sit back and wait for whatever to happen for
those of you will not be trapped in a false gospel which by the way has trapped almost
all Christians and many Seventh-day Adventists Satan is another trap at all the bad
things of the church is doing look how far the church has succumbed to apostasy look at
all the things that are wrong in the church look at the conference leaders and what
they're doing and what they're promoting these days just look at all that stuff and you
point and you point and you point until your heart is as bitter as Judas you're angry
you're just angry because of what you see around you that you can legitimately be
angry about and instead of experiencing Jesus Christ attitude toward dangers and
problems you begin to point fingers site doesn't care which trap you're in bitterness is
just another one of his traps members a forthright I think the most dangerous of them all
because I personally don't like to be called an extremist or right-winger or left-winger I
like that I'm a middle-of-the-road person I am balanced I got things put together very
well so I want to have a reputation as a very moderate middle-of-the-road Christian you
about the only way to do that these days as you come to church and you sit in the pews
and you walk away from the church and you don't say a word to anything about
anybody because if you do you'll be labeled by someone so you just keep your mouth
shut maybe maybe maybe you can whisper to your wife or husband quietly but that
don't say anything just to have everybody like you and everybody will enjoy your
company and you avoid the topics of politics and religion and you go on your merry way
the fourth trap is a false moderate position Ellen White says that the worst hostility
against God's neutrality in a crisis we are in crisis folks and hostility is the worst but I'm
sorry neutrality is the worst hostility against God in a crisis because were letting
someone else do the dirty work we don't want to be painted with accusations or labels
or whatever else it might be for traps maybe you can give others worldliness false
gospel bitter spirit false moderate say nothing position neutrality if Satan can get us on
any one of those traps he runs things while longer and the solar will to our graves our
children our grandchildren will have to ask the same questions were asked me today
about why were here why Jesus hasn't come what is going to have to happen to allow
this world of sin to come to an end and Satan will be sitting back and saying I did it just
like I did with the Jews just like I did with the Luther's followers in Wesley's followers I've
done it to the Adventist to I think I know how to keep on going forever I say let's get
Satan out of his comfort zone let's move Satan off of his successes are you fully aware
that not one movement that God ever called into existence fully completed the purpose
for which God called into existence Satan is all the evidence on his side he'll get
Adventism to and I say let's prove them wrong let's prove that God is telling the truth
when he says that this last churches last church there's no more to come after it and he
called into existence for that single purpose of finally ending the great controversy and
