REQUIEM FOR TODAY’S KING JOSIAH

 

Confession time for this author:  a while back, this author thought he had written his last letter (with the Baptism page) for several reasons.  One reason was that Christ had finished teaching this old author.  Christ has taught this author very much in the last 30 years; and for these last 3 years, with the completion of every letter, this author thought to himself, “How much more is left for Christ to teach?”  (Ok, so this author isn’t perfect!)  Well, recent developments compel this author to write another letter:  gathered from Truths which Christ taught this author many years ago.  Honestly, this author did not know how to write those Truths, in my youth:  this old author is still growing just like every reader here.  There are some lessons that Christ taught which absolutely frighten this pathetic author.  Indeed, the topic of this letter frightened this author tremendously many years ago (and still does to a lesser degree today).  Some feelings are going to get hurt here.  So with all due trepidation, this author is going to write an “extended setup” here before beginning the actual letter.  This author is a very kind man and does not like to hurt peoples’ feelings:  until God’s Truth enters the room!

 

ALL ADVENTIST’S . . . LEARN A LESSON FROM KING JOSIAH AND THEN MEET BOTH THE WORD OF GOD AND WILLIAM MILLER, JUST ONE MORE TIME!

 

FOR THIS IS TRULY YOUR REQUIEM, TODAY.

 

As you will learn below, this letter is a bit premature, yet the end result is written in stone, scripturally:  witness the events of king Josiah’s day happening today, right in front of this world’s eyes.

 

(King Josiah was a king in Israel, shortly before Christ had Babylon carry the Jews away.  This was their punishment for failing His Laws and Commandments.  King Josiah was their last chance, as it were.  After they failed their last chance, Christ did what He had long prophesied that He would do.  It will happen againThat “again” story is found in the Book of Revelation, which was written more than 2,000 years ago.  The bad news here is that “again” story is about every person reading this letter, here today.)

 

Because of the sensitive, and painful, nature of this letter, this author will make extensive use of Christ’s Scriptures.  This will be a tough message for many.  You can get mad at this author, but you cannot get mad at the Word of God.  This author is content with any hatred that comes his way:  indeed, this old author is accustomed to it.

 

This is a very sad story, but it is a “second time around” story for this author:  probably not so for most readers here.  About 30-years ago, Christ gave this author a front-row seat regarding the demise of the Worldwide Church of God, which was created by Herbert W. Armstrong in 1934.  This author was a young man in those days and understood little regarding God.  Christ taught this young author to watch and then learn how to separate God’s Truths from Satan’s lies (easily recognized by way of God’s Scriptures), but specifically to just watch and learn from the impending failures of this “once fine church.”  (You can find a fuller version of this story on our webpage here tabbed THE WILL OF GOD.)  Well, this old author, today, has finally attained just a bit of wisdom and is once again watching (and learning) how Satan is CURRENTLY working to destroy what once was, and mostly still is, a wonderful church founded upon the works of two true prophets of God.  (Know that this author is not, and has never been, a member of this church.)  But the prophetic origins of this wonderful church took place in their earliest days which, quite sadly, are now long gone.  This is significant.  While this church’s leaders currently rest comfortably (and a bit lazily) upon their founders’ laurels, this church has since lowered its guard by way of failing to obey many commands of Christ.  (Quite honestly, this is how “laurels” typically work in this world.)  And because of this “resting,” numerous key leaders are now fully in the “death grip” of Satan, in the humble opinion of this author.  Oh, we shall give a great many Scriptural references, here, regarding this matter.  None of this includes their general membership who earnestly, and joyfully, desire to follow the commands of Christ; detailed by Jesus in just one complete sentence found in Matthew 28:19 – 20.  (Quoted shortly.)  No, we are only talking about Christian leaders in this letter:  such as church executives, University presidents, and a very small, but growing, number of pastors.  This is all happening today, as you are reading this letter written in the year 2023.

One very important aspect of Satan that most people need to remember, is that once mankind opens a door for him, he always enters that door and once in, he is nearly impossible to cast out.  Satan is incredibly cunning:  to the point where nearly all (about 99.9% of) Christian churches have willingly opened a door, which he himself created amongst a few of their leaders, and who then “welcomed” him in with open arms.  (With the first Catholic church, Satan had to use Emperor Constantine to force that door open; but open it did.)  This is an incredibly difficult letter for this author to write, so this author shall proceed very carefully and hopefully “overload” every reader here with Christ’s Scriptures.  (This author shall make every attempt to assure that the words found in this letter are not this author’s vanities speaking:  these words shall be Christ speaking to mankind, by way of His Scriptures quoted!)  This author is no prophet and has never claimed to be any sort of prophet.  But this author has been taught very much about Christ’s Scriptures.  Christians commonly call it the Word of God, but oh, Christ’s Scriptures and Truths go so very far beyond “our little Christian beliefs and traditions.”

Those words are not the opinion of this pathetic author; they are the teachings of Christ, given to this author.  The downward spiral of a once fine Adventist church has now begun; and any truly observant person can literally watch it unfold before them.  Oh, this has happened before:  from the Catholic church (that “great whore” of Revelation 17:1), to the Sabbath rejecting Protestant churches (those “Harlots” of Revelation 17:5), to the Muslim faith of today, and yes, even the ancient Hebrew faith of long ago.  (Adventists, please remember for later, that every faith and denomination just mentioned, long ago followed the course of William Miller’s Dream regarding every detail described in that Dream.  But Adventists, never forget that William Miller’s Dream was sent to you!  This is significant, as you shall learn here in this letter:  because you are not immune from God’s prophecies!  Laurels, or no laurels.)  Satan’s results are always the same, but he has demonstrated numerous, and successful, methods to draw upon regarding mankind’s various societies throughout the past 6,000 years.  Know that Satan’s “direction” never changes.  Every single time, Satan’s only direction is to lead mankind away from Christ’s commands and he always does this by way of “the things of this world:”  meaning Mammon!  Learn now, of his methods regarding today’s Seventh Day Adventist Church:  and see how cunning Satan truly is.  (This method caught this author completely off-guard and this old author never saw this one coming, quite honestly.)

 

**************************************************************************************

 

The Seventh Day Adventist church of today, like all other denominations, has always left small doors open for Satan, but nothing that one might consider fatal.  Oh they had (and still have) pastors that bent and twisted some of Christ’s less significant Truths to satisfy both; their own personal vanities which they grew up with; and especially, their own current personal expectations of Christ.  (We all do this:  every one of us!  The Jews did likewise back in Jesus’ day.)  Like all other denominations, they have pastors who symbolize, or spiritualize many verses of Christ which they do not understand; only because these verses do not “fit” their personal vanities or expectations.  But unlike nearly all other denominations, this church has always known (and still knows, despite their minor flaws!) that the path to heaven is found only through obeying the commands of Christ!  Oh, you might be a vegetarian when you finally get to heaven, and you might think you understand Daniel, but those little mistakes have nothing to do with our getting to Heaven.  Their minor flaws have never, ever, negated a person’s ability to find that path which Christ has laid out for this entire world.  They are one of the few Christian churches, of today, which understands that Christ’s gift of baptism truly requires our lifetime participation:

Matthew 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  (WAIT!  We have not reached the end of Christ’s sentence yet!  Always read Christ’s Scriptures through at least two periods.)

Matthew 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.

If any reader is new to this website, please understand that the first twelve verses of John’s Gospel teach that it was Christ who created this universe, this world, and also mankind.  It was Christ who visited Abraham (John 8:56), and it was Christ who spoke to Moses; and delivered to Moses, all of His Commandments, Laws, Feasts, and ordinances (John 8:58 and Exodus 3:14).  Christ’s Commandments, Laws, Feasts, and ordinances are all found in the first five books of your Old Testament.  Should any Christian deny these Truths of Christ’s Older Testament, please find them fully explained in Christ’s Newer Testament, namely Hebrews 11:24 – 27:

Hebrews 11:24  By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

Hebrews 11:25  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

Hebrews 11:26  Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt:  for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

Hebrews 11:27  By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king:  for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

Quite obviously, Paul completely understood this, so why are all Christians today being taught the OPPOSITE by their religious leaders?  Equally important, Christ closed His entire Older Testament with a vow to all mankind:  that He would never change:

Malachi 3:6  For I am the LORD, I change not . . .

So again . . . just WHY are all Christians TODAY being taught that everything changed with the New Testament?  Because their teachers are wrong and have chosen to follow Satan’s easy ways.  Ministers are human:  never forget that.  But also remember that Christ, our Creator, is not human! And any religious leader who follows the ways of Satan can never point you to Heaven!

Given these Truths of God, especially in Matthew 28 above, one can rightly conclude that if any Christian DOES NOT observe all things that Christ has commanded mankind (in both Testaments) then they ARE NOT baptized in Christ’s Eyes, nor is Christ “with them,” here in this life!  (More on this later, regarding the Book of Job.)  There can be no denying this; Truth is Truth!  Read those words of Matthew again, because Christ’s commands include keeping His Sabbath, clean and unclean meats, and having no graven images either in your life, nor in your place of worship.  Throughout our past several letters here regarding current religious leadership of today, this author keeps emphasizing those three Commands of Christ, here on this website, because they cost nothing to observe!  They are absolutely free!  And they are the easiest to observe!  Oh, there are many more commands which Christ has sent down to this world, and this author shall address a few of them in this letter.  (And by the way, all of Christ’s commands to mankind are FREE:  they cost each of us NOTHING to observe:  except to make “one very simple choice” which must be made by every person on this earth:  namely, “What shall I choose to follow in this temporary life which I have been given?  Do I choose to follow that God, who created me, or do I choose to follow those pleasures of this world that please me for a little while?”  And this, EXACTLY, is what Christ, and His Father, are observing in us every single day!  As you will learn below, this is the very reason that Christ created this world and created mankind.  Quite honestly, our little mistakes down here mean little to Christ, and His Father:  it is those things, which we earnestly pursue, that they observe and record in their Books!)

The only possible reason a person would refuse to honor Christ’s simple commands, mentioned above, is that they completely reject the legitimacy of that God, who created us:  a great many of them prefer to follow the beloved traditions of their parents and grandparents over their following Christ’s Word.  There can be no other reason here because all of Christ’s commands cost a person nothing!  One can neither push, nor pull, any self-described “Christian” into obeying all of Christ’s commands.  By Christ’s Design for this world, every person must freely choose to accept, and then make a decision that they will obey Him.  (Our Creator comes as a package:  you cannot love Him, accept Him, nor even “believe in His name” until you first choose to obey Him!  Regarding importance, neither comes before the other:  Christ is a package-deal.  Walk away from either one and you have walked away from Christ!)

And before we leave this Christ/mankind issue, understand that the entire Christian faith has forever argued about the greater importance of faith or works.  Again, Christ purposefully designed His earth so that He is a package deal.  Faith and works are one-in-the-same.  Walk away from either one and you have walked away from Christ!  It is not possible to have one without the other.  Simple!  There is nothing complicated about Christ, but also, there is no “selling Christ short” in this world, which He created!  Our Creator is the “full package,” and Christ is only accepting “full packages” into His Heaven.  In fact, that is why He Created us by way of His Father’s Permission:  the only reason we were put here, is so that Christ might observe and decide “who” He might present to His Father, our LORD as the “full package” on our LORD’s Judgment Day.  Simple!

Christ’s commands are incredibly easy to observe, and every person (rich or poor, educated or not, living under any sort of government, and living either a good or bad life )can always “choose” to keep those three aforementioned commands of Christ:  in their own time and according to their own ability!  Oh, there are other commands, just as easy to “observe” by mankind!  And they are just as easy to follow.  But these three, mentioned above, are so incredibly simple and easy to observe in this world:  that as Christ views this world regarding any person who cannot keep those very simple commands, that person is literally “thumbing their nose” at Christ, who created this world!  And they are “thumbing their nose” at their very Creator who shall judge them one day!  How stupid is that?  In their failures, they are saying to Christ, words which tell Christ:

“We don’t need you anymore God:  we’ve got this!”

“Saturday, Sunday, who cares, just keep your day!”

“My parents and grandparents always kept a cross on the wall, and I will too.”

“The Federal government inspects our meats, so they are safe now.”

“We will do it our way and you will accept our way.”

And the granddaddy of them all:

“He can’t send us all to hell.  Besides, everyone else is doing it, so I can too.”

Returning to Jesus’ SOLE CONDITION for being baptized, and His GREAT REWARD:

Matthew 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.

Why would Christ ever “be with a” Sunday keeping Christian who has graven images in their homes and in their churches?  Why would Christ ever answer a Christian’s prayer after their having eggs and bacon for breakfast?  (Bacon is an unclean meat, but very few Christians are ever taught this in their Sunday morning worship service.)  The answers to those questions are quite obvious to those who have accepted and chosen to follow Christ’s Truths and commands in this world.

SPEAKING OF ACCEPTING CHRIST’S TRUTHS . . .

 

We now come to the point of this letter, namely the Seventh Day Adventist church failing Christ today.  We are not talking about sins here; we are talking about EVIL.  There is a difference!  Christ teaches this difference throughout His Scriptures, and we shall heavily document this by way of Scripture!

This is a most difficult letter for this author to write because this author has nothing but admiration for all Seventh Day Adventists:  words fail me here, quite honestly, but I must continue.  The typical Adventist is a true God-fearing and Christ-observing person who lives an incredibly truth filled life and normally a very content life.  But just now, this author must say a few bad words about their religious leaders, and therein lies the rub!  When this author sits down to write a letter, he always writes a “tone guidance” at the beginning.  It keeps this author on-track regarding both the subject matter and God’s Truths trying to be shown.  Before publishing any letter, this author deletes that “tone guidance;” once satisfied that it was followed.

This author is not going to delete that part of the letter this time, so that every reader here might honestly assess exactly what Truths of God this author is seeking to reveal in this letter.  Always remember one thing about religious leaders:  there are the executives, working in the corporate offices; and then there are the pastors, working at the local level.  Most Adventist pastors are flawed regarding various Truths of God, but these are typically minor in nature when considering our singular goal of finding success on Judgment Day.  (Quite honestly, that is all that any person should give serious consideration to regarding life on this earth:  because it is the only reason why we were put here in the first place!  Everything else is merely “window dressing.”  The details of Daniel are window dressing; where we go after death is window dressing; everything else is minor:  when compared to our singular goal here in this earth!)  From what this author can tell, the vast majority of Adventist pastors never take their eye off the goal of mankind getting through to “the other side” of Judgment Day, by way of Christ’s commands which have been sent down to this earth.  This truly is where all of mankind’s eyes need to be focused.

Tone of this letter (protect the average person) – Satan has always woven his lies, into mankind’s faiths, from the top down!  Hebrews, Jews, Christians, Muslims and all others!  Mention this.  Never from the bottom up!  Address the TOP LEADERS!  Refer to these leaders using the word, “executives.”  Jesus demonstrated this by way of the Sadducees.  The Sadducees were the “executives,” and the Pharisees were more at the pastoral level.  Not completely true, but it is a good generalization for this letter.  Jesus had some problems with Pharisees, but it was the Sadducees (executives) who killed him, by way of Satan’s influence.  Pharisees were stiff-necked and stuck-in-their-ways, but the Sadducees were evil.  There is a difference between sin and evil.  The entire point of this letter.  Story of Lazarus proves this.  Sadducees attempted to kill Lazarus immediately after he was resurrected.  (John 12:9 – 10)  This is a perfect example of EVIL, not just sin.  Remember this example to illustrate today’s Adventist executive level.  This evil is being forced from the top down.  It is now entering the pastoral level and being forced upon the average person.

 

**************************************************************************************

 

Back in Moses’ day, Christ gave Moses many instructions regarding how mankind was to deal with certain evils in this world.  We are not talking about sin here:  every person sins!  No, this is different.  These instructions were specific, and highly detailed, evils that Christ wanted mankind to keep out of their societies.  Mankind has no authority to alter what Christ commanded to Moses, nor does mankind have authority to water-down or even forgive evils that Christ condemned to death or banishment.  One must always remember that we are not talking about SIN in this letter.

Here are some examples of Christ’s commands to Moses.  These would be those very commands that Jesus referenced in Matthew 28:20 regarding His one requirement for Christians being baptized.  (A simple lesson regarding how our Creator works:  if we do not recognize His commands sent to this world, then He does not recognize our baptism!  Simple!)  Also, please read these many verses below with the understanding that later, in Numbers 35:31, you shall learn that Christ warns ALL that we are to take no satisfaction in any of these punishments which He has commanded.  For in His commands, we are not punishing these evil people; rather we are preserving all that He teaches is good in our lives!  Christ shall handle the “punishment” part on His Judgment Day!  And please understand that Christ has forever taught all peoples, that no one person can take His Laws into their own hands.  Christ sent down many commands regarding this also:  our next SIDE NOTE will explain all of this better.

Exodus 22:18  Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

Exodus 22:19  Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.

Exodus 22:20  He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

Leviticus 20:10  And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

Leviticus 20:11  And the man that lieth with his father’s wife hath uncovered his father’s nakedness:  both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Leviticus 20:12  And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death:  they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

Leviticus 20:13  If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:  they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Leviticus 20:14  And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness:  they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

Leviticus 20:15  And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death:  and ye shall slay the beast.

Leviticus 20:16  And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast:  they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Leviticus 20:17  And if a man shall take his sister, his father’s daughter, or his mother’s daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people:  he hath uncovered his sister’s nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

Leviticus 20:18  And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood:  and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

Yes, this author placed those verses in red letters to emphasize that it was Christ who spoke those words.  Those words came from no prophet, nor any angel:  they were delivered, personally to Moses, by Christ, who created this world and created us.  We cannot take our NEXT BREATH without His permission!

A MOST IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE by jpw:  This author already knows what most Westerners are thinking here:  “We can’t go around killing people in our cities; because our societies have laws regarding this.”  And these folks are correct.  The Bible definitely teaches that all true believers are to observe all local laws and authorities.  But that does not mean that believers are to blindly fail Christ like sheep-to-the-slaughter (because our political and religious leaders long ago departed from Christ’s Ways).  No!  We are merely to keep ALL EVILS away from our personal lives and yes, away from our churches.  (Do not punish them on your own, just place an incredible distance between your life and their life.)  This includes the lives of our families, the lives of any people who work for us, indeed, it means every possible aspect of our lives down here.  These are not merely the opinions of this author; these are commands from Christ!  Given this, please continue:

Deuteronomy 13:5  And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.

Deuteronomy 17:7  The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.

Deuteronomy 19:19  Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.

Deuteronomy 21:21  And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Deuteronomy 22:21  Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

Deuteronomy 24:7  If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.

Job 22:23  If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

Again, one extremely important Truth of God, never taught in today’s Christian churches, is that the point of Christ’s Words above were never about our punishing the evildoers.  The point was to PROTECT and SAVE all good people who might later be overwhelmed by these very evils of Satan existing in their midst.  (And now, every reader here understands the root cause of this world’s failures here in these last days.)  Christ will handle all eternal punishments on Judgment Day and we need to leave all of that in Christ’s Hands.  Never attempt to punish any person, by way of your own perceived authority, or you shall find that same punishment on Christ’s Judgment Day:  this has been taught throughout every Scripture that was ever sent down to any “peoples” upon this earth!  But Christ is definitely telling us that we must guard against any and all evils (meaning Satan!) attempting to enter our lives, and even our beliefs:  especially if they come by way of our churches!  (Do you remember those three easy “measuring sticks” mentioned above?  Christ’s sabbath, graven images, and unclean meats!)

Christ even detailed these evils in His Scriptures so that our religious and political leaders could never claim a false authority so as to “introduce” their own vanities, or personal beliefs, into Christ’s “well-documented” Commands.

Furthermore, we cannot be found “slacking” by Christ regarding His Words above.  And this is where our religious leaders enter the picture.  (Meaning “enter this letter.”)

This author cannot possibly mention all of our Christian leaders’ lies regarding Christ’s true intent in His Words above.  So we shall just give a few that every person has heard throughout their lives:

“Oh, all of those old laws were hung on the cross.”

“Those ancient Scriptures are no longer applicable in our modern world.”

“Jesus fulfilled all of the ancient laws and by fulfilling them, He thereby cancelled them.”

Really?

Paul definitely indicates that Jesus changed nothing:

1 Corinthians 5:13  But them that are without God judgeth.  Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

(Oh, please do notice that first sentence regarding our world, today!  Much more on this shortly.)

Titus 3:10  A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

That word, “heretick” is Strong’s Greek word, G141, and it means “the follower of a false doctrine” in Strong’s Concordance.  Adventists!  Learn that word because false doctrines are entering your church at an alarming rate today.  And as Paul teaches, reject those people and the executives who opened the door for Satan:  because their doctrine is also evil.  Not merely sinful, but EVIL.

 

**************************************************************************************

 

This author intentionally left out the PRIMARY excuse Christian leaders use for ignoring Christ’s Words extensively quoted from His Old Testament above.  We shall spend a little time on one of the biggest Christian lies of today:

“Jesus taught us to never judge others!  So we are to gladly accept all others and pray for them.”

Really?

SIDE NOTE by jpw:

In the many verses quoted above regarding Christ addressing certain evils in this world, do you find any instance of Christ instructing Moses to pray for those who Christ had just commanded to be put to death?  This is a classic example of how our local pastors and teachers frequently “add” to Christ’s Scriptures:  words and concepts that are found nowhere in Scripture!  Not regarding EVIL anyway!

Now, every Christian needs to learn, or relearn, exactly what the word “judge” means to Christ, our Creator!  Never mind what Satan has taught your religious leaders throughout the generations; LEARN WHAT CHRIST FIRST TAUGHT THIS WORLD!  Before you receive a heavy dose of Scripture regarding “judging” below, this author would like to give you a brief synopsis of Christ’s Truths sent down to this world.  These Truths shall be verified shortly by way of Scripture.

Christ told Moses that when a person had broken any law, they were to be brought before the elders of the tribe.  (Not the religious leaders!  This is significant.)  As the tribes increased in numbers, this was properly changed to:  the elders of a city, town, or even small village.  Notice Christ’s wisdom here.  Our elders are to judge us because they are the wisest, they have long since finished building their youthful and vanity-laden lives (and livelihoods), and they have more knowledge and understanding regarding the mistakes we all make in various stages of our life.  Also note that the judges which Christ desires (and indeed commands!) are not just some younger or middle-aged folks who are merely rich enough, cunning enough, or popular enough to win an election.  There is a huge difference between our world now, and Christ’s original Design for our world.  Next, there was an absolute requirement for at least two witnesses to testify before the elders.  Once guilt or innocence is determined, the punishment was not determined by those elders; the mandated punishment was found in the Word of God by way of Christ’s commands and ordinances given to Moses.  Also there was not, and still is not, any appeal process found in the Word of God.  The point here is that to Christ, the word “JUDGING” ALWAYS INCLUDES A THREE-PHASE PROCESS:  meaning to determine guilt or innocence, then to pronounce the punishment, and finally to assure that the punishment is performed according to Christ’s Laws.  Only then, were the elders’ responsibilities, issued by Christ, relieved:  and they could go home.

To Christ, this is what that word “judging” means in this world.  But of course, Satan had to change our perception of what that word means, to mankind, here in these latter days.  And of course, Satan is winning in these latter days, per Scripture.  Every Scripture that Christ has ever sent down to this world, forbids any “one person” from judging others according to Christ’s lawful “process” detailed above.  More on this shortly.

Christ’s Old Testament commands, detailed above, have nothing to do with judging ordinary sins.  Rather His harsh treatments, detailed above, ONLY address the necessity for our keeping EVIL out of our lives, today!  This not only includes Satan’s evils, but also keeping EVIL PEOPLE out of our lives!  It should be readily apparent to all, that Christ understands the incredible importance of keeping evils out of our societies, but mankind does not.  (Witness the current condition of our world today as proof.)  Also, there is an enormous difference between Satan’s evil and the common sins (or mistakes) that we all make from time to time.  Christ never, even once, taught this world to kill sinners; but Christ also never, even once, taught this world to forgive Satan’s evils!  Again, Christ understands all of this, but we do not.  After many hundreds of years of Satan weaving his lies into all of our denominations, today’s Christian leaders are no longer capable of differentiating between our absolute requirement of keeping Satan’s evils out of our personal lives and our need to punish (and then forgive and pray for) some sinners and criminals.

1 John 5:16  If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death.  There is a sin unto death:  I do not say that he shall pray for it.

When Jesus told us to not judge others, lest we be judged ourselves, Jesus meant that we, alone, are NEVER to determine a sinner’s guilt, then declare that sinner’s punishment, and finally assure that sinner’s punishment was performed.  (Can you see the difference here?)  Our elders (judges) are to perform those duties for us:  legally, and with full authority from Christ!  (Even if the elders made a mistake, they were held blameless by Christ because they followed His Laws.  If any witness was later determined to be a liar, that person was also commanded to be put to death: if those they had lied against were put to death.)  But Jesus never once commanded us to start allowing evil (and Satan) into our lives:

Numbers 35:29  So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Numbers 35:30  Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses:  but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.

Numbers 35:31  Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death:  but he shall be surely put to death.

(Author’s note here:  in verse 29 above, “throughout your generations” means FOREVER!  FOREVER!)

Deuteronomy 17:2  If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, (Note by jpw – be patient here, for Christ has not yet finished His sentence . . .)

Deuteronomy 17:3  And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;

Deuteronomy 17:4  And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:

Deuteronomy 17:5  Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

Deuteronomy 17:6  At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

Christ’s Words above address the evils that He wants us to keep out of our lives.  Regarding sins and other matters, Christ instructs the following:  (Do note, at the end, where one’s sin can turn into an evil that needs to be put out of our lives, after that has indeed happened, in verse 17:12, below.)

Deuteronomy 17:8  If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates:  then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;

Deuteronomy 17:9  And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:

Please note that Christ never gave any religious leaders the authority to sentence a person to death (as they clearly did in the case of Jesus) but they are certainly to “remind” those elders of what Christ’s Laws command us to do.  Only the elders could judge, according to Christ’s commands.  Also, please note in Numbers 35:31 quoted just above, Christ warns (no, He actually COMMANDS!) that we are to find no satisfaction in taking the lives of these evil people.

Deuteronomy 17:10  And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:

Deuteronomy 17:11  According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do:  thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.

Deuteronomy 17:12  And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die:  and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.

Deuteronomy 17:13  And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

For you see, all of this has nothing to do with our receiving satisfaction from punishing evil people.  If you read Christ’s Words regarding our casting out evil, they are only meant to protect the innocent.

**************************************************************************************

Always, always, ALWAYS remember Numbers 35:31, above, and keep Christ’s Words in your prayers:

Numbers 35:31  Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death:  but he shall be surely put to death.

**************************************************************************************

Christ fully understands that He shall be the One who is in charge of punishment on Judgment Day.  Mankind continually fails to understand this, here in these latter days.  Throughout Christ’s Scriptures, Christ is only attempting to teach mankind how to preserve (AND PROTECT!) those of us who are NOT EVIL!  This is so important for mankind to understand, here in these last days.  When we set evil away from our lives, we are not punishing those evil people, we are preserving ourselves.  All “eternal punishments” shall be left to Christ, on HIS Judgment Day!  This cannot be overstated!

Does any person still disagree?  Please allow Christ to explain everything by way of His Gospels:

Matthew 7:1  Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Matthew 7:2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:  and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Did you notice both the determination of guilt or innocence and the meting-out of punishment?  This is what “judging” means to Christ and this is what “judging” is supposed to mean to mankind:  Satan wants mankind to believe otherwise.  Mark states it a little better.

Mark 4:23  If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

Mark 4:24  And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear:  with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you:  and unto you that hear shall more be given.

Adventists!  Christ never taught that you are required to permit evils into your church.  In fact, you just read above that Christ commands you to cast out all evil peoples from your churches:  Christ even details these evils for you.  Adventists!  Christ never granted your executive leaders, and university presidents, permission to invite evil people and evil deeds into your churches either.

To all Sunday keeping Christians!  The fact-of-this-matter regarding your churches is that your ministers are conducting those evils, THEMSELVES, by teaching you to ignore Christ’s Sabbath, ignore Christ’s Commandment against graven images, ignore Christ’s Laws forbidding unclean meats and teaching you that you must “welcome” certain evil peoples (and Satan’s lies!) into your lives with an “open and forgiving heart.”

Really?

Even openly LGBXYZ people, convicted murderers, rapists, and adulterers?  (You are now capable of seeing that Satan, long ago, blinded your religious leaders regarding Christ’s defined differences between evil and sin.)  Well, that is what they are teaching you when they tell you that all “sinners” are welcome in their church(And when they say, “all sinners,” they are including all evils.)

Really?  Whose church?

 

**************************************************************************************

**************************************************************************************

**************************************************************************************

 

SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS,

you are now capable of seeing Satan’s evils at the executive level of your church.  (All other Christians, you are now capable of seeing Satan’s work at all levels of your Sunday keeping churches.)  Quite sadly, there is not one instance, known to this author, of any church ever defeating Satan once he entered that church.  Can your Adventist churches expel Satan?  Yes, of course.  Will your Adventists churches expel Satan?  That remains to be seen, but it will not be easy!  Your executives, who have ceased consulting Christ’s Scriptures, truly believe that it is their church and that a great many of Christ’s commands no longer apply in today’s socially oriented world:  they have seemingly outgrown Christ’s commands and will decide what is best for their church.  Really?  Whose church?  (Always remember that Christ taught them to merely “feed” His sheep:  Christ never told them to “lead” His sheep!)

While Christ has always taught mankind to expel evil from our lives, the executive levels of the SDA church are now welcoming evil into its church and even into its leadership positions.  The executive levels of this church now affirm Satan’s LGBXYZ evil into its membership and universities.  (This author refuses to even learn the letters associated with this evil, when Christ teaches that it is worthy of death.)  Evil never stands still; evil is always on the move; and evil always spreads, usually like wildfire.  Christ taught that in the last days, this entire world will be just like Sodom and Gomorrah.  Apparently, the SDA church executives have chosen the road which leads in that very direction.  No, you say?

The SDA church now has welcomed at least one homosexual pastor into its fold.  This is what is normally referred to as that “slippery slope.”  So this author presents one question to every member of this church today.

How can a pastor, who promotes, and lives, an evil life (as defined by Christ above!) baptize any person?  Again, he is not even baptized himself, because he REJECTS Christ’s commands himself!  And he does this openly!  Please refer to Matthew 28:20 again:

Matthew 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Matthew 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.

A few more questions:  Why would any member of a homosexual pastor’s congregation ever listen to the words of a pastor who is arrogantly “thumbing his nose” at Christ’s Laws and ordinances?  (All while this evil pastor is openly declaring to Christ:  “I have my own rules, Christ!  I HAVE DECIDED THAT MY RULES ARE MORE APPEALING THAN YOUR RULES!”)  So again, why would any person listen to such a pastor?  Also, why would any legitimate church allow such an evil person into their presence?  And why would they give such an evil person a position of LEADERSHIP and permit them to promote Satan’s evils to Christ’s sheep?  And dare this author say, “allow them to teach our children?”

Here is the Truth of God:  (And remember that Christ is not talking about sin here:  this is EVIL!  Big difference.  A huge difference!)

If any Christian homosexual pastors (of any denomination!) arrogantly reject Christ’s commands (which they fully understand, as religious scholars!), they then have no authority (from Christ) to teach others how to follow Christ’s commands.  Truly, this arrogance is considered egregious by Christ:  seeing how He commanded Moses to stone them to death!  Christ’s Scriptures quoted above teach this.  Additionally, according to Christ’s Words regarding their false baptism, detailed in Matthew 28:20 above, Christ is NOT “with these” evil pastors, “even unto the end of the world.”  One could even make a strong case that no person which this homosexual pastor attempts to baptize is accepted as baptized by Christ, because all they managed to do, was to get wet!  They were NEVER taught to observe all commands that Christ has sent to this world.  Here is just one of those commands:

Leviticus 20:13  If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination:  they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Adventists, and even all Christians, this is hard . . . given the evils that we now “accept” into our societies.  But does that mean we are to give up?  Well, that is the same as telling God that we no longer want to go to Heaven someday.  TRULY!  Adventists, and all Christians, do you think Christ wants you to give up?  Or do you think Christ wants you to fight?  By that word “fight,” it means within your own personal life (and local church) which you can, should, and must, always control.  (And which you shall one day answer for on Judgment Day.)  Keep evil out of your lives!  Do not hurt these people because Christ commands us to obey all earthly laws.  But never permit any government, nor any church, to remove any of those rights which Christ gave to you regarding your absolute need to protect your personal life from all evils!  You will need that personal life on Judgment Day.  Sorry, but that was not quite correct:  you shall answer for that personal life on Judgment Day!  That personal life is what is being recorded in Christ’s Book of Life, found in Revelation, and many other places of Scripture.  Never, ever, forget this; because it is the only reason we are here!  Everything else shall be left behind.

Now, this author must find the courage to get to the hard part of this letter.  So take a break and consider what you have just read.  We, today, frequently hear words such as “God given rights.”  Well, you just learned about one of those most special rights that we must never permit any government, nor any other authority, to deny us.

Special rights?

Well . . . there are those who have gone before you and found, not earthly success, but Eternal success:

Revelation 6:9  And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

Revelation 6:10  And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

(Adventists, are you still certain that no spirits of the dead return to Heaven after death here, since Ecclesiastes 12:7 similarly teaches otherwise, below?  Are you still certain that, as all of your pastors teach:  “the dead know nothing?”  Or could it be that your pastors ought to be teaching that “the dust knows nothing?”  It is quite apparent to this author that at least some of the dead do indeed know very much; both in Revelation above and Ecclesiastes below.  However, this subject is beyond the scope of this letter.  More importantly, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with any person, today, obeying the Laws and commands of Christ!  This matter has absolutely nothing to do with our living that life which will bring us to Christ’s Salvation.)

But . . . maybe your Adventist pastors, of today, should learn the following words:  “We just don’t know!  But Christ does and everything that comes after this world is best left in His Hands.”

Ecclesiastes 12:7  Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:  and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

So please take a break and consider all of the words you have read so far.  Because we have only begun this letter which this author has long prayed would never have to be written.  The hard part follows.

 

**************************************************************************************

**************************************************************************************

**************************************************************************************

**************************************************************************************

 

Since Jesus left this world, Satan has plied his various ways of working his lies into all Christian denominations.  ALL OF THEM!  One example is the Baptists claiming to be born again, baptized, and saved (every Sunday just before going out for pepperoni pizza for lunch).  This church also teaches that any person who is not born again, baptized, and saved is going to hell.  So, just where is that Scripture found?  This author’s Scriptures teach that such a person cannot enter the Kingdom of God:  but that word, “hell,” is just not there.  Big difference!  Perhaps our Christian leaders should leave the timing of all Heavenly events in Christ’s Heavenly Hands.  Another example is the Catholic church (Revelation 17:5), and many of her harlots (Revelation 17:5); where many of these church leaders take upon themselves, Christ’s SOLE authority to forgive all sins:  “Confess your sins to us and WE shall forgive you.”  This author could go on and on forever:  in fact, this author has done so on many other webpages here.

One lesson that Adventists need to learn here is that Satan understands that he cannot enter the SDA church by way of lying about Christ’s Sabbath, unclean meats, and many other Scriptural commands which they follow:  and they truly believe that this shall protect them.  But this is not enough, here in these last days.  Rather, Satan is currently entering the SDA church by way of abusing many “social” aspects of today’s society and today’s political climate.  Mankind, long ago, started making these various avenues available to Satan.  But after 6,000 years, Satan knows that if we “think” we have beaten him over here, then we are now safe over here.  After this, he shall just enter “over there” where we are not looking.  Our military calls it a “flanking maneuver.”  Facebook and Twitter are of Satan:  Revelation 18:23 teaches this!  That LGBXYZ thing is of Satan.  Everything related to “me, me, me; I, I, I; and my, my, my” is of Satan.  (The Buddha taught this exceedingly well and we have a download webpage here detailing Christ’s gift to the Buddha, who exposed this ancient tactic of Satan.  It should be noted here that this successful tactic of Satan is completely separate from all religious Scriptures (and affairs) sent to this world, by our Creator, Christ.  The Buddha teaches this also.)  Affirming any sort of EVIL is of Satan.  Accepting any sort of EVIL is of Satan.  Adventists!  Placing any sort of EVIL at the level of leadership, pastorship, or in the position of educating our children, is of Satan.  Satan’s impending destruction of the SDA church shall partially succeed by way of today’s “oh, so important” social tolerance of “all sins and evils” in our world today.  Wait a minute!  Our world?  What about that world that Christ created for His Father, our LORD?  Have we now forgotten about our LORD?

Satan’s LIE here is, “Well, if you can accept all sinners, then let’s see if I can integrate some of my evils into those sins that Christ desires you to accept and help!”  How does Satan make this work?  Because today’s Christians can no longer differentiate between mankind’s sin and Satan’s evil.  WHY?  This author shall not go into that matter here.  The answer is obvious, for any person who truly cares!  One very important note here, is that very few Christians of today actually obey Christ.  This author would estimate that number to be around a 99.9% failure rate!  Why?  This author could just begin with failing the first four of Christ’s Ten Commandments, unclean meats, Christ’s seven commanded Feasts:  all of which He commanded to be kept forever, and then many other Laws and ordinances which He gave to Moses!  We will not even attempt to address all of the various pagan holidays that our Christian societies have set in place, via Satan’s efforts, so as to replace Christ’s commanded Holy Feasts.

Quite honestly, this author intended this letter to be written for Adventists today, who are watching, in amazement, as Satan now enters Christ’s last bastion here on this earth.  Oh, there are others, such as some faithful, and true, Muslims who similarly watch with amazement while the “incredible cunningness” of Satan succeeds within their faith.  But every time this author feels sorry for those 99.9% of Christians who fail Christ, on a daily and even hourly basis, this author feels compelled to write to them also.

This recently accelerated “social-oriented” evil of Satan teaches, “If you condemn any other people, who are different from yourself, then you are no longer welcome in this society.”  It is almost funny that they know how to cast YOU out, but you do not know how to cast THEM out!  Why?  Because mankind, today, has never been taught the importance of Revelation 6:9 – 10 just quoted above!  Perhaps Christians today are incapable of realizing that it just might be their very lives which are illustrated in Revelation 6:9!  Why?  Because Scriptures clearly teach that we, today, are living those very same lives which folks were living back in the days of Noah and in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah!  So again:

Revelation 6:9  And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

Revelation 6:10  And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

All of this “social” nonsense was actually detailed more than 200 years ago, but only a very few people took notice.  John Wesley, one of the founders of the Methodist church once said, “What one generation tolerates, the next generation will embrace!”  He was right; and he taught of this very work of Satan some 200 years ago.  Satan never changes really:  oh, he has varying tactics, but he truly understands mankind.  For mankind’s weaknesses have always been fairly singular in nature:  meaning “mammon.”  There shall be much more on this later.

Now, please remember . . . that we have not been discussing sin here.  Not at all!  We have been discussing EVIL!  We have been discussing certain evils that Christ directly addresses throughout His Scriptures:  even Paul addressed these evils, long after Christ ascended to heaven.  But Satan has now convinced nearly the entire world, that his chosen evils are now good; and any who oppose his evils, are now bad.  It appears as though Satan has won for now, until Christ returns.  And yes, this is Christ speaking in the verse below:

Malachi 3:15  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

 

The Seventh Day Adventist executives and their university presidents should have understood all of this and protected Christ’s “Last Chance” effort which included their church!

 

But they failed Christ!

 

They literally opened a door for Satan and even put out a “Welcome” mat for him to enter that “Last Chance” Design of Christ:  before He would return to this world.  And they did so without consulting Christ’s commands which have been sent down to this earth!  Being so-called “experts,” did they forget the enormous lesson that Christ taught about king Josiah’s day?  Quite honestly, this has been the downfall of every Christian denomination throughout history.  These so-called “leaders” forget who they are actually “serving” and they always forget that they were merely commanded to “feed my sheep!”

 

They were never commanded to “lead my sheep.”  They are to merely “toss” Christ’s Food over that proverbial “fence” to Christ’s sheep.  Christ’s Food?  That would be His Commandments, His Laws, His ordinances, His Feasts, and His Truths found therein.  That “proverbial fence?”  All farmers and ranchers understand that their “herds” (meaning cows, horses, sheep, etc.) cannot have unfettered access to their stored food.  If unfettered, the animals will tromp on, soil, and otherwise ruin the entire food supply for that season.  So the farmers and ranchers deliver a daily portion of food (this time meaning Christ’s unspoiled Word) from the “food storage” side of the fence to the “herd” side of the fence.  They do not change, or alter, the stored food, they merely toss it over the fence on a daily basis.

 

Today’s Seventh Day Adventist church shall soon suffer greatly because of their leaders’ failures this day:  just like every denomination that went before them.  Satan’s plan regarding religious leaders has always been to allow them unfettered access to “alter” the food side of Christ’s Word (meaning His Scriptures!) and then toss soiled food over to Christ’s sheep.  Hence, William Miller’s Dream regarding our religious leaders’ unfettered access to altering the Word of God!

 

Oh . . . those old Adventist founders had everything right.  Well, not really:  Christ’s Glory goes far beyond this!  They actually had a true GIFT from Christ, our Creator!  But later, folks in their leadership positions had to start “improving” on Christ’s Jewels:  as described in William Miller’s Dream.  Christ described that “improving” part as “SOILING.”

 

Again, this author watched all of this play-out, in the 1990’s, with the Worldwide Church of God which Herbert W. Armstrong founded.  This young author was still learning back then.  This old author has now learned a great deal about Satan’s strengths and mankind’s weaknesses:  especially amongst our religious experts who either ignore, or stand against, many, or most of Christ’s Commandments, Laws, ordinances, and Feasts.  While Christ expected (and instructed!) them to do their due diligence regarding His commands, they chose to pursue their own personal vanities, taught to them by Satan.  This author estimates their failure rate to somewhere around 99.9%, or higher.

In this author’s humble opinion, Satan is just a few breaths away from controlling the entire Christian faith, according to Scripture.  He already “owns” the Sunday keepers, churches with altars, and all who approve unclean meats:  just these three failures, ALONE, include about 99.9% of all Christians, in this author’s humble, but Scriptural, opinion.  That only leaves the various churches who adhere to that Adventist (Sabbath keeping, mostly) movement which parallels the story of king Josiah.  When Satan controls these relatively few remaining hold-out denominations, he will have complete ownership of the Christian faith.  Revelation clearly teaches that Satan will have ownership of all, except Christ’s elect!  For Matthew 24:24 teaches that Satan shall never deceive Christ’s elect:

Matthew 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

And again, here is what Christ teaches about His elect:

Revelation 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.  These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.  These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Revelation 14:5  And in their mouth was found no guile:  for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Not defiled with women?  Remember those four words for just a bit.

When this author was a young man and was just learning about God, Christ showed this author how Herbert W. Armstrong taught his church that they were the one true church in this world.  Well, as a child, this author was raised up in the Catholic church and was always taught that the Roman Catholic church was the one true church in this world.  Later, this thirty-something author was still a slow-developer, but even he could see that both were wrong:  especially after Armstrong’s church went mainstream (after his death) and departed from just about all of Christ’s commands, including His sabbath.  (Departing from even one “previously accepted” command is an abomination to Christ.)  So in between Christ’s lessons, while writing the first book, this author began examining many Christian denominations.  This author bought a copy of the Book of Mormon.  It was going reasonably well until about a quarter of the way through, where it taught, indirectly, that this church’s youth were to go door-to-door spreading their church’s doctrines.  It specifically stated that if any person were to reject the teachings of their beloved Mormon prophet, named Joseph Smith, then that person was actually rejecting Christ, Himself!  That person was now going straight to hell, after death.  Imagine that:  a person being judged for hell, just because of one mistake they “might” have made on one day of their life.  Besides this common sense truth, this author wondered why a church would send its “youngest” to spread the Word of God, when our “young” typically understand very little of this life, down here.  This author wondered why this church did not send out its older, and wiser, folks after they retired:  if they truly cared about saving others.  (There was no internet back then.)  And of course, true to all churches, this Mormon church teaches its members that they, and only they, are the true church of Christ.  (When these twenty-something year old kids knock on a stranger’s door, their “doctrine” teaches that if they are rejected “at that door,” then they are to leave and the people behind that door have now been determined for hell.  Well, what if the people behind that door just experienced a major tragedy of losing a loved one the night before?  Their self-proclaimed prophet does not address this situation.  But their religious leaders do.)

Oh, this author could go on and on, but honestly, the story never changes.  No matter the denomination, the story is always the same.  Every church believes it, alone, is that remnant church mentioned in the Bible.  This is Satan’s doing because he has whispered this lie into the ears of all religious leaders today.

The Seventh Day Adventist church is exactly the same as all the others regarding this belief:  except for one thing.  They actually have, what this author firmly believes to be, two true prophets in their formational days.  (More on this later.)  This is significant.  But what is even more significant here is that neither of these two people, or prophets, ever claimed to be a prophet!  Not even once!  (This does not happen very often.)  But one must always be wary that this Truth of Christ could also be the be the “UNDOING” of these Adventist denominations.  Because throughout history, any time people let their guard down regarding the words of their own prophets, those prophecies were then fulfilled against those very people.  The SDA church, and all other Adventist churches, is not exempt from this Truth of God.  William Miller had a dream about being given a box full of Perfect and Glorious jewels.  (This is the short version.)  He wanted to share those jewels, so he invited others in to see them.  This dream was the beginning of the Adventist movement:  meaning that here on earth, we are to follow as many of Christ’s commands as is permitted by society.  But those who he called to his discovery (or dream) could not merely admire the jewels:  they had to touch and soil them.  They had to change and rearrange them, so they looked better to them.  They added counterfeit jewels to the box (meaning religious lies that are found nowhere in Scriptures).  As just one of the many recipients of this incredible prophecy, the SDA church has let its guard down for several years now; and many of their leaders have indeed become those very “invited people” of William Miller’s Dream, who soiled, and are still soiling, Christ’s gift of perfect jewels to that church.  Their own prophecy is now beginning to turn against them in these latter days.  For many of Christ’s teachings are also warnings.

JUST ONE EXAMPLE:  There is an Adventist pastor who teaches that Christ’s 144,000 elect shall all be Jews:  12,000 from each of the Twelve Tribes, who shall be converted to Christianity sometime in “our future,” but before Christ returns to this world.  Just where is any of this nonsense found in Scripture?  And if it is not found in Scripture, how can this pastor even consider teaching these words to Christ’s sheep?  This is exactly how Christ’s Jewels become soiled.  In other lessons, this same pastor also teaches that Christ’s 144,000 elect cannot possibly be gathered from the Tribes of Israel because mankind has completely intermingled over these many centuries:  therefore, Christ cannot identify what Tribe any of us Christians belong to.  Just where is any of this nonsense found in Scripture?  This author would like to see that verse.  This is a counterfeit jewel, because this very pastor had previously taught that Christ shall indeed find His 144,000 Jews (from each of the Twelve Tribes who were long ago scattered across this world) in our near future and then convert “these Jews” over to his personal view of Christianity!  Soiled means changed; counterfeit means an outright lie.

And Adventists . . . this author is not trying to beat-up your church here.  But there are some Truths of God that you need to learn in this world.  Please understand that the example above has NOTHING to do with any person finding Salvation.  These are very, very minor mistakes that any pastor, or teacher, (or writer here) can easily commit.

Ellen G White wrote of many details regarding these end days:  many, many details.  Such as strange things occurring in our last days.  Also, “unnatural” things occurring in these end days.  Well, there are many strange and unnatural things happening in this world, and also within the SDA church, as this letter is being written.  When this author was in his thirties, he watched, with an immature horror, as Mr. Armstrong’s church self-destructed.  Well, this old author is not so immature now and feels compelled to speak out while something might still be done.

Can this church remove Satan from inside its walls?  Yes, of course.

Will this church remove Satan from inside its walls?  That remains to be seen.

What are the odds?  This author has great faith in some of their pastors’ abilities to never fail Christ’s commands and earnestly prays that they succeed.  However, this author also understands Scriptures.  This author asked you to remember a few words, just above.  Here they are again, along with a very painful explanation:

Here is Christ describing His elect:

Revelation 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.  These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.  These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Revelation 14:5  And in their mouth was found no guile:  for they are without fault before the throne of God.

Do you recall those four words this author asked you to remember a few paragraphs above?  Before illustrating Christ’s Wisdom in those four words, this author had to document just how the examples above truly defile Christ’s sheep, today:  whether they be major or minor.

What does the word “woman” always mean in prophecy?  It means a church.  Not just the bad churches, but all churches.  It means “every church.”  That is why Christ’s elect are virgins.  They never allowed a church to defile them.  This can only mean that they refused to accept the false doctrines found within these churches and they place the Word of God before anything found on this earth.  Do you remember William Miller’s Dream, above?  Soiled, counterfeited, and rearranged were the descriptors!  Do you remember Paul’s word (“heritick” in Titus 3:10) from Strong’s Concordance, G141?  “The follower of a false doctrine” is how Strong’s defines “heritick.”

As much as this author so deeply cares for the Adventist churches, it appears as though Scripture teaches that they shall succumb to Satan’s wiles.

But Satan cannot defeat Christ.  And every church who taught that they were either the one true church, or the remnant church failed to realize that Christ taught an incredible lesson describing this remnant church.  And quite honestly, not one Christian denomination has ever met the requirements that Christ set forth in this ancient Scripture.  Some of the people have, but not one of the denominations.

MALACHI

 

Very few Christians understand the Book of Malachi because no Christian leader can properly teach it.  So, they ignore this book entirely.  Why?  Because the Book of Malachi shines a Light on their impending and absolute failures here in these last days.  Always remember that the Old Testament came from Christ, our Creator.  The New Testament came from Christ, our Creator.  The Book of Malachi is the final, and closing, book of His Old Testament.  Christ was to now stay out of this world for a period of time, and then see how mankind would do with the wealth of His Scriptures.  The Book of Malachi is Christ’s Farewell to this world, until He would return as Emmanuel, meaning “our God and Creator is now living with us.”  (We are referring to Jesus here.)  The best way to read the short Book of Malachi is to read and understand Christ’s Words there as being a “farewell address.”  When you read this book, in this manner, a great many Truths of God jump out at you.  A proper farewell address always makes mention of the future, and a few key points that should never be forgotten.  (Indeed, it is this Book of Malachi where Christ swore that He would never change.)  Christ does not disappoint regarding His addressing this world’s last days in Malachi!  Christ even describes His remnant church in great, yet simple, detail.  Only our Christian leaders of today have ignored this Truth of Christ.

Malachi 3 generally reminds us of Christ’s gifts to this world.  Then, later in verses 7 – 15, Christ teaches of this world’s religious leaders completely failing Him:  (remember, this is Christ speaking)

Malachi 3:13  Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD.  Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

Malachi 3:14  Ye have said, It is vain to serve God:  and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?

Malachi 3:15  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

One question for all Christians here:  does Malachi 3:15 not describe today’s world, perfectly?

And because it does, Christ goes immediately into describing His remnant church as it will be found at His coming.  Oh, this author does not believe that this has happened yet, for the sole reason that the Seventh Day Adventist church (and entire Adventist movement, actually) has not defiled its members yet, so Revelation 14:4 regarding the elect being “virgins” has not yet occurred.  But the door has been left open for Satan and Satan has certainly “entered the room,” regarding this Adventist church.  Regardless of future events, the words below are what Christ shall find when He returns to the earth:

************************

Malachi 3:16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another:  and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

“Feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name?”  Did Solomon not teach this when he concluded Ecclesiastes?

Ecclesiastes 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:  Fear God, and keep his commandments:  for this is the whole duty of man.

Malachi 3:17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

“Make up my jewels?”  Did we not just learn about this in William Miller’s Dream?  If not, you shall find his entire Dream at the end of this letter.  Please note that, in His words here, Christ is “probably or possibly” describing His end-time elect here with those words of:  “And they shall be mine,”.  Please study this one verse carefully, because in the last days, only Christ’s elect shall be spared, just before His return to this world.  (Oh, they will by no means escape His Wrath, they just will not feel it as harshly as the rest of the world does:  Christ never stated that He would remove them from this world.  There is no rapture and there is no escape!)  And just who would like all Christians to believe that they get a magical ride to heaven, regardless of what life they lived here?  Satan!  That’s who!  And why?  Because then, they can completely ignore Christ’s warnings in Revelation:  and they can continue living that life described in Malachi 3:15, above.

“I will spare them?”  This is found in Revelation 7:3:

Revelation 7:2  And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God:  and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

Revelation 7:3  Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

Let us continue please:

Malachi 3:18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Quite honestly, this author can only add one comment to these three outstanding verses of Malachi, and this author shall allow Jesus to make that comment:

Matthew 7:13  Enter ye in at the strait gate:  for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew 7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

************************

Christ’s Book of Remembrance (Malachi 3:16 above) shall be written about those who follow the narrow way of observing all of Christ’s commands, no matter how much their religious leaders failed them.  These are those who will not give up.  They will huddle in their homes if that becomes necessary.  And they will “speak often, one to another.”

This is Christ’s remnant church, at His second coming, described by Christ in Malachi.  And His commanded Book of Remembrance is how Christ’s angels will know who to seal, for protection, in Revelation 7:3.  How can we know this?  Well, it is right there in Malachi 3:17.  The day when Christ makes up his jewels, is the day Christ returns to this world.  Also, pay close attention to Revelation 9:4 as it comes from Malachi 3:16 – 17.  If you have not read William Miller’s Dream, you will understand everything when you reach the end of this letter.  Malachi 3:17 is a direct reference (and yes, even a very strong Scriptural support) to William Miller’s dream, which would not be sent down to this world for another 2,500 years.  That is how perfect Christ is.

This letter is finished.

It was painful for this author to write but can only be more painful for any God-fearing Christian who just learned that they are not following all of Christ’s commands which have been sent down to this world.  God’s Truth often has splinters in it:  splinters that hurt when they catch you unawares (meaning you stopped paying attention for a little while).  But Satan, by way of our religious leaders, has put many coats of “religious varnish” over those splinters so they might not be painful, and especially so they might not even be observed.  Observed?  Well, not noticed by the uncaring, anyway.  So many people just want to show up for church every Sunday and just listen to that religious leader tell you how you are going straight to heaven because you do as they say and you “believe” on the name of Jesus Christ:  whatever that means!  Do not blame only Satan nor your religious leaders for failing you regarding the Scriptural Truths you have found in this letter.  This author teaches nothing new, per se.  This author only teaches what the entire world has gotten wrong:  Christ’s Truths have always been here for anyone who cares to find them!  Every reader owes Christ, our Creator, an obligation to read the Word of God on their own!  Because on Judgment Day, every reader shall owe Christ, our Judge, an explanation as to why they did not care enough about Christ to read the Word of God on their own!  Those last two sentences pretty much explain how silly it is to just “believe on the name of Jesus Christ” and assume that you are going to Heaven because of this.  Always place at least half of the blame, for everything in life, upon yourself.  If you cannot place blame upon yourself, then you cannot fix your problems.  This is what has always kept this author sane, in this crazy world which is getting crazier every day.  (“Hello Ellen G White:  you were right.”  Because this world is not really getting crazy, it is getting “unnatural.”  Satan doesn’t do crazy; Satan does evil and unnatural.  And again, this author is not, and shall never belong to, any Adventist organization.)

Calculating the consequences.  This author has made a considerable effort to calculate the consequences of the Truths of God which have been presented in this painful letter.  “Consequences,” here on this earth mean absolutely NOTHING compared to the necessity for mankind to learn the Truths of God which have been placed upon this earth by God, Himself!  For Christ has been teaching mankind, nearly since the beginning of time, that if we do not obey Him, then we do not go to Heaven, PERIOD.  It is that simple.  Solomon taught this in Ecclesiastes:

Ecclesiastes 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:  Fear God, and keep his commandments:  for this is the whole duty of man.

Ecclesiastes 12:14  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

NOTE BY jpw:  Christians, if you are still banking on those lies you were taught regarding your just “believing on the name of Jesus Christ,” you would do well to read the Word of God on your own, in your own time, but do not take too long.  Question here:  Just whose words should be more important to you?  Is it your religious leaders; or is it Christ, who created you (and Christ, who shall be your Judge)?  Another question here:  if you go to church every Sunday, and that church has graven images on the walls (crosses, images of Mary and the baby Jesus, etc.), this church has just failed at least three of Christ’s Ten Commandments that He gave to Moses (and to you).  Do you think that “hour” would be better spent sitting comfortably in that church or do you think that “hour” would be better spent reading the actual Word of God, found in your Bible?  How many hours does it take to read the Bible?  Well, how many hours have you spent sitting in church every Sunday.  Multiply 52 hours per year by your age!  That is a lot of hours.  You currently go to church, weekly, bit by bit.  So instead, just start reading Christ’s Bible bit by bit.  At least, you will be going somewhere, in doing this for Christ, your Creator.

Solomon . . . the wisest man who ever lived wrote those words of Ecclesiastes above.  And he stated mankind’s entire Truth of God so simply and honestly.  My friends, the consequences of presenting these Truths of God frightened this author for the longest of time:  nearly twenty-years, honestly.  (That is this author’s “earthly” weakness; this author’s vanity; and this author’s problem.)  God’s Truths must always come before any of mankind’s vanities, fears, beliefs, expectations we have of God, and above all, OUR PURSUIT OF THOSE “THINGS” FOUND IN THIS WORLD.  Christ, indeed, created them and placed them here to help us through this life:  truly, Christ placed them merely as an “assistance” in this world.  But Satan has turned them into a greedy pursuit for more comfort and pleasure; and Satan has convinced us that these things are so important in making us happy.  Do you remember Malachi 3:15 from above?

Malachi 3:15  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

We, today, often scoff at Adam and Eve’s mistake of trying to be happy.  “How could they be so foolish?  They had everything!”  Well, hello readers!  Satan has found that very same success with all of us!  In fact, from what this author can see in today’s world, we are doing greater wrongs than Adam and Eve did.  Yet, here we are today, pridefully scoffing at Adam and Eve’s one mistake.  You can thank today’s Christian leaders for NOT TEACHING these great lessons from Christ’s Bible, and mankind’s past.

 

Again, this letter is finished.

This author would like to say a few words to all of those Adventists who he so admires.  Not just the Seventh Day:  for there are other Adventists.

And of course, all readers here are welcome to keep reading.  This author feels as though he is at the end of his writing days, especially with the last webpage about Baptism.  This author has long desired to comment about this world’s special Adventist churches.  Christ brought them into this author’s view about five years ago:  and about three years later, He began teaching this author of just how He wants His sheep fed.  Fed?  Well, that would mean our religious teachers of today, in this author’s mind.  Christ’s teachers are to feed His sheep and for the most part, these Adventist pastors have been doing a great job, in this author’s humble opinion.  The Truths that they cling to, today, are reminiscent of king Josiah’s efforts:  namely their returning to the commands of Christ by way of their founders’ works.  Their founders indeed were given an incredible gift from Christ, just as king Josiah received.  Will the outcome be the same?  We shall see, but they are still holding fast to Christ’s commands today!

A FINAL WORD TO ADVENTISTS:  (this author’s two-cents worth)

This author admires you folks greatly.  This old man has never seen such folks who desire heaven more earnestly than you do.  Oh, all Christians have that same desire, but the vast majority of them make no effort to obey their Creator’s commands, mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 28:19 – 20.  But you fine folks have actually centered your LIVES around Christ’s Will in this matter.  That says a lot about such folks, to this author.  In today’s “street language,” nearly all Christians talk-the-talk every Sunday, worshiping before some altar, with graven images hanging on the wall, and a belly full of bacon or sausage.  Later that night, they pray to Christ and wonder why Christ does not hear their prayers.  They think they are baptized, but they arrogantly ignore all of Christ’s commands which He DIRECTLY TIED to His gift of baptism.  Yet they expect Christ to hear their prayers and to be with them always (Matthew 28:20 again).

Adventists, you actually walk-the-walk!  And usually do so quietly:  per Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.  When you walk-the-walk, you have no need to talk-the-talk, like the others feel is necessary.  Oh sure, you have some pretty good pastors who get loud sometimes (and thank God for them).  But in a way, they are only the lightening that strikes every sabbath.  YOU are the thunder that rolls across the countryside for the next week!  People are watching you (to see if you are for real).  They are watching you because not too many folks are “real” today.  When this author was a young man, this author had an Adventist employee.  He was the best employee that any person could ever ask for (even if he did walk quietly out the door every Friday sunset with his work unfinished).  He was such a good employee that this author did not even mind that.  (Also, he explained the reason, but with him being a young man, this author figured that he just wanted to go out and party with his friends on Friday night.)  Well, it did not take long for this author to understand that he was not going out to parties on Friday nights.  He was an outstanding man!  Oh Adventists, people are watching you and you probably do not even realize it.

So . . . some very caring thoughts for you, from this author.  (This author is not saying they will be easy words:  just some very important words.)  Most of what you have read here, in this letter, has not happened yet.  This author is no prophet!  But this old author has studied the many ways of Satan for some thirty-years now.  These words are merely the understanding of God’s existing Truths and how Satan has always attempted to hide God’s Truths from mankind!  When your Adventist church ever falls to Satan, do you think you should consider leaving that church?  Does Christ say anything good about quitters in either his Old Testament or New Testament?  Has Christ ever rewarded a quitter in mankind’s history?  Learn about the life of David, in his early years while Saul was the King of Israel.  Oh, David occasionally hid from Saul, to preserve his life that day, but David never quit his God (Christ).  Adventists!  Fight!  Christ loves those who fight for Him!  Stand up and be counted:  and never quit what you belong to.  It would be better for you to be cast out than to just give up.  Abraham was cast out of his village, at his own father’s behest, after Abraham broke all but one of his father’s many little statues (false gods).  When asked about this deed, Abraham told his father that the biggest false god must have destroyed the smaller false gods:  in this deed, he stood up for Christ, our Creator.  Abraham stayed in that village until they cast him out.  (Christ taught this story in His Qur’an.)  So, Abraham was cast out of his village:  rejected by mankind but loved by Christ.  Abraham is the only person in any Scripture to be called “the Friend of God.”

Oh my dearest Adventist friends, when that day comes, make them CAST YOU OUT!  Christ’s Eternity is yours as long as you do not allow yourself to become defiled!  Some of your pastors are also beginning to fail regarding graven images (statues of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream) at your meetings.  You can see parts of your executive level and now, even some at your pastoral level trying to defile you, but do not allow yourself to be defiled by Satan.  Christ sees everything and Christ shall make everything right when He rearranges His jewels of Malachi 3:17 and in His closing deeds of William Miller’s Dream.  William Miller did not quit in his dream and William Miller did not allow himself to be defiled by the others:  he fought against them.  Do not let your church defile you in the least!  Stand up and fight for Christ, even if it means dying!

Dying?

Revelation 6:9  And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

Revelation 6:10  And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

Revelation 6:11  And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Did you notice that they shall receive their white robes before any person on earth receives theirs?  It is quite possible that they have already received their white robes:  indeed, this author has a hunch that we are now in that “little season.”

Even if it does come to dying, know that you will enjoy your next billion, or so, years in Heaven.  Maybe if this old author is lucky enough to make it to heaven, despite myself, I might run into one or two of you a billion years down the road.  I might ask, “Hey, what did you ever die from?”  You will probably reply, “You know, I really don’t remember.”  And we will both laugh at the silliness of that question.

 

**************************************************************************************

 

This author would also like you to understand that when the “last days” events begin to happen, everything will be backwards of what you expect and what you have been taught!  This is so important!  Revelation clearly teaches that the entire world shall reject, and hate, Christ’s last two prophets.  This includes the Christians.  Revelation clearly teaches that all the world shall wonder after Satan’s false prophets.  This includes the Christians.  All Christian leaders, of today, have everything backwards (and currently teach this world to believe everything backwards) because they believe, by default, that they (and only their church) shall be exempt from everything written in the Book of Revelation:  when actually, the Book of Revelation was written ABOUT them, was given TO them as a prophecy, and was a warning SPECIFICALLY FOR them!  (Name one instance, in any Scripture, where Christ delivered a prophetic message to any people other than the intended recipients of that prophecy.  Jonah does not count because while he was a Jew, he delivered Christ’s prophecy directly to those people of Nineveh.  Why?  Because that prophecy was intended solely for the people of Nineveh!  Simple.)  Being stiff-necked and arrogant, as were the religious leaders in Jesus’ day, today’s Christian leaders deny any of the events found in Revelation applying to them because of all the hard work they have invested in their churchesTheir churches:”  meaning Sunday worship, graven images (such as crosses on the walls and altars in the front), permitting the consumption of unclean meats, gay marriage, abortion, adultery, promoting and inviting Satan’s Evil into their congregations, placing those who follow the ways of Satan in leadership positions, and (my gosh, this author could go on forever here).  The best our Christian leaders of today could possibly answer to these charges is:

“Well yes, but besides all of that, we are doing a pretty good job and Christ still loves us because Paul taught us to just believe on the name of Jesus!”

Oh, my friends . . . meaning all Christians of all denominations still reading this letter . . . is it possible that Christ requires more than you think?  No, forget that!  Is it possible that Christ requires more than you have been taught by your religious leaders?  Please consider, greatly, Christ’s Truths that you just read in the paragraph above.  Please consider Christ’s accusations against today’s Christian faith, in the paragraph above, TO INCLUDE about 99.9% OF ALL CHRISTIAN CHURCHES IN THIS WORLD!  TRULY!  These churches, who do not understand what Christ requires from mankind, have been defiling mankind for many hundreds of years.  And they still are today.

Consider again, the words of Christ describing His 144,000 elect:

Revelation 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.  These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.  These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Consider, once again, that the word “woman” always means a “church” in prophesy!  There are no exceptions.  Ask your local pastor about these words of Christ.  If they are honest, there is no option but for them to agree.  Many of them will say, “Yes, but that only means the “other” bad churches.”  Really?  Is that what the word “virgin” means?  If a woman has sex with a “good man,” is she still a virgin?  If a man has sex with a “good woman,” is he still a virgin?  After this, consider again some of the evils that are beginning to creep into your SDA church, today.

Adventists!  This is hard!  For now, just do nothing and chew on this food for a while.  And chew on the fact that when the “last days” begin, everything you expect to happen will be backwards:  because of those teachings which will come from your religious leaders.  Please find, below, some very special Truths which Christ has placed in His Scriptures:  Truths in which Satan has completely blinded all religious leaders.

Again, when the last days arrive, everything will be backwards of what you currently believe.  Why?  Because Christ foretold all major events!  What does this mean?  Whether you like this or not, it means that Revelation clearly teaches that the entire world will hate Christ’s final two witnesses because they tormented this earth.  Indeed, the entire world shall give gifts to each other when Satan finally kills God’s prophets:

Revelation 11:7  And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Revelation 11:8  And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Revelation 11:9  And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

Revelation 11:10  And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

Revelation 11:11  And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

Please, please understand that verse 10 clearly teaches that it will be the entire world (minus Christ’s elect) who rejoice; for it is written that only Christ’s elect cannot be fooled:

Matthew 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Now, this author is going to share a piece of wisdom that Christ gave to this author many years ago.  This author has never been the sharpest pencil in the box, so it took this author about 25 years to finally understand Christ’s Hidden Truths (not just His messages!) in all of His Words.  Never mind all of His messages for now.  Are there Hidden Truths in Christ’s Scriptures?  Well, yes and no.  They are right there for any person to learn, and accept, but only for those who are TRULY searching for Christ’s Wisdom placed on this earth.

One reason that William Miller was given his Dream from Christ is because William Miller, per Christ’s instructions regarding Baptism, chose to observe all of Christ’s commands later in his life (Matthew 28:20).  Miller did not know much, but he fully realized that his Baptist Doctrine was falling way short of the Word he was reading in his Bible.  So he dedicated himself to reading all of the words slowly and tried to consider the meaning of every word.  When he became unsure of anything, he would consult a concordance to see how this word was used elsewhere.  This website has a few pages with “sample” lessons on how to use Strong’s Concordance:  which is free to use on the internet.  It is not a book you have to purchase.  And it is very easy.  Now, back to William Miller and his choice to follow the Words of Christ, no matter where they led him, he once wrote:

I commenced with Genesis . . . whenever I found anything obscure, my practice was to compare it with all collateral passages (and by the help of Crudent’s Concordance) I examined all the texts of Scripture.  Then by letting every word have its proper bearing on the subject of the text, if my view of it harmonized with every collateral passage of the Bible, it ceased to be a difficulty.

Mind you . . . this was a Baptist minister, schooled in the Baptist doctrine.  Indeed, he had never kept Christ’s sabbath until he studied his Bible closer.  There were no Adventists in that day!  All this Baptist minister did was to admit, “You know, there are a lot of things in the Bible that do not agree with what I, nor my church doctrine, teaches.”  So he struck-out to solve his difficulties; and he placed God first!  In this author’s mind, this is the best path that ANY Sunday keeping Christian could follow also.  That is what this young author did, some thirty-years ago:  and this young author had never even heard of the Adventist churches.  William Miller, long ago, made a personal choice to place the Word of God before any church doctrine and before any “traditions” of mankind.  Simple.  And actually, quite easy!

William Miller pursued Christ’s Words (and his own Eternal life!) with an absolute dedication.  This author can only guess that this is the reason Christ gifted Miller with his dream because of the great blessing which Christ placed in Matthew 28:20.  Perhaps William Miller pursued Christ’s Words because of that dream:  we shall leave that in Christ’s Hands.  Now, there are a lot of people today that would say, “Well, I just don’t have the time because I am very busy.”  This author would tell those folks that if you think you are too busy, then you are spending way too much time pursuing the “things” of this world; while Christ actually desires you to spend that same “too much time” pursuing our LORD, His Father, by way of the Scriptures which have been sent down to this world.  In a relatively few short years, when we are all standing in front of Christ on His Judgment Day, you will not be complimented on your gathering of those earthly “things” that took up all of your time.  In fact, those things will no longer exist!  Or, to put all of this another way, you certainly are free to pursue, and enjoy, the things of this world for as long as possible.  But you are also free to pursue your LORD and spend the next several billion years at His Side.  This really is your choice and Christ is writing a Book which contains all of the choices you made down here, for “the little while” that He allotted you down here.  When your Inevitable Hour arrives, Christ will hand you your Book:  and it is written that He shall wrong no person on that day.

SIDE NOTE BY jpw:  And oh, by the way, in that same William Miller publication, in italics, just quoted above, he also wrote that the Bible is able to stand upon its own merits and simpleness.  No other person is required for you to understand the Word of God.  This author shall take his words just a bit further and state:  no other person is required for you to discover and understand the Hidden Truths, placed by Christ (in His Bible) which you are about to discover below.

This author will give you just a few examples of Hidden Truths below.  Again, perhaps that is a poor descriptor used by this author because Christ hides nothing!  Everything you read below has been in Scriptures for thousands of years, but most folks do not care enough, nor read their Scriptures slowly enough, to realize these particular Truths of Christ.  (William Miller did!  And William Miller was rewarded for his efforts.)  “Hidden” is probably a bad word to use, but you get the point.  Let’s try that again.  “Ok, Christ did not just come out and announce certain Truths which He placed in Scriptures, but any person who cares and pays attention can easily find more Truths of God in His Scriptures.”  Is that better?  Please read on for a fuller understanding.  We shall begin with Christ’s final two witnesses.

 

**************************************************************************************

 

We shall begin with some very easy Hidden Truths that no religious leader will ever teach to you.  Speaking of Christ’s two final prophets which Satan is finally “permitted” to kill, after they have fulfilled all of Christ’s Purposes:

Revelation 11:10  And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

Forget Christ’s message here for just a moment.  Just WHY would the entire world refuse to believe Christ’s two prophets?  Because their religious leaders will have been deceived by Satan regarding these Truths in Revelation 11:10, and also, in all of Christ’s Truths placed within His other commands sent to mankind.  Again, never mind that Christ’s two prophets shall be killed.  That is not the point here.  Every Christian, upon this earth, shall rejoice when Christ’s two prophets are finally killed!  Remember all of this because it is important for revealing Satan:  and thereby shining a light upon his works on this earth.  Satan’s works shall come mainly through our religious leaders, as they always have.  And now, forget also, this particular Hidden Truth for a moment, and rewind just a bit.  Revelation 11:10 describes the end result.  Let us examine what got mankind to that point.  Let us back up a little bit to find Christ’s Unwritten, but clearly True, Truths.  (Maybe that is a better descriptor than Hidden Truths.)

CHRIST’S ADVANCED WISDOM HERE:  Your religious leaders teach you that you should be looking for Christ’s final two prophets.  Quite honestly, that is found nowhere in Scripture!  Study Christ’s Words very closely (and slowly) and understand that you are NOT LOOKING for two prophets!  Not at all.  Satan wants you looking for two final prophets so that you will accept his false prophets!  Christ’s prophets shall come as witnesses first:  meaning that they witness for the Word of God (meaning Christ, our Creator) that has been sent down to this world; and they also witness to that Word of God (Christ, our Creator) regarding the evils that they find, here on this earth.  (Scripture shall be quoted shortly.)

Only later . . . do these two witnesses become prophets for Christ.  No Christian leader can teach you these Truths of Christ because they do not care about them.  Quite honestly, they do not care because they believe, for one reason or another, that they will not be present when the bad parts of Revelation (and Ezekiel) occur:  so they completely ignore Christ’s Truths which were sent solely to them, in Christ’s Newer Testament.  Oh, they are so wrong.  Not only will they be present, but these 99.9% of Christians (arrogantly rejecting Christ’s commands) shall be the FOCUS of Christ’s Wrath in this world’s last days.  This is another reason that everything shall seem to be backwards when our last days arrive.

Please read the following verses of Christ again for the Wisdom He has seemingly “hidden” within those words.  (Quite honestly, they are not hidden at all, because they are right there!  It is only mankind who has chosen to ignore them!  Maybe this author should describe them as “not spoken outright.”  Can you see this author’s dilemma in describing these Truths of God?  William Miller did a fairly poor job also.  He just said he read the Bible slowly and tried to connect everything he did not understand.  This author is trying, and failing, to improve upon Miller’s description.  Generally speaking, this is how we, mankind, always fall just a bit short regarding Christ, our Creator.  For Christ is Perfect and we are not!)  This author only gave you a taste of Revelation 11, above, for a reason.  Now that you have that “reason,” learn the “Truths of Christ” placed in Revelation 11.  Pay attention to the first verse and see how Christ shall determine when to give the power of prophecy to His two witnesses who have already been witnessing for Christ.  At that time only, shall Christ give these two witnesses power to prophesy for three-and-a-half years.

Revelation 11:3  And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Revelation 11:4  These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Revelation 11:5  And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies:  and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Revelation 11:6  These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

Revelation 11:7  And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

Revelation 11:8  And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Revelation 11:9  And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

Revelation 11:10  And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

Revelation 11:11  And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

Revelation 11:12  And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

Oh, my dearest Adventist friends, Christ’s Wisdom in these unspoken Truths is that if you are looking for two prophets, you shall only find Satan’s false prophets.  This author shall leave this lesson here, for each reader to digest, and let them discover Christ’s Truths, according to their own abilities, and in their own time.  Some people digest Christ’s Truths quickly and some people digest Christ’s Truths a bit slower (like this author truly does).  So, here is a bit of assistance to help you find Christ’s Truths regarding Satan’s false prophets on your own:  do what William Miller did and find other places in the Bible that teach the same lessons.  They are everywhere!  Find Christ’s Truths regarding all of the false prophets that he teaches about in His ScripturesMatthew 24 would be the best place to start.  (We are at about verse 8 right now, in this year of 2023.  And Adventists, do you think verse 9 was written about the Sunday-keepers or do you think it was written about YOU?  Consider Matthew 24:8 – 9 greatly because your Adventist pastors do not have you prepared for Christ’s Truth here!)  Pay close attention to verses 12 and 13 regarding that “false love” of many evil people in verse 12, and then the true love of those who endured (did not fall to) Satan’s (easy and enjoyable) evils upon this world in verse 13.  (Regarding that “false love,” we are not just talking about those LGBXYZ folks, but all adulterers too!  This author can only guess that there are at least 500 adulterers for every LGBXYZ person:  but the entire world only focuses on the latter because they are always seen on our news reports these days.  This author is not LGBXYZ-phobic!  This author is EVIL-PHOBIC, as Christ commands us to be!  Adultery is an evil also!  Christ taught Moses that it carried the death penalty, upon the word of two witnesses!  Adultery is not a sin; adultery is an evil!)  When you find your answer, please understand that in our last days (which are growing ever closer), people will follow those false prophets because they DESIRE the messages of those false prophets!  Now, after realizing that nearly this entire world shall DESIRE those false prophets, ask yourself just WHY they would desire those false prophets in that day!  Could it be because their religious leaders direct them away from Christ, as it was in the days of Jesus?  (Even while Revelation teaches them a great deal about Christ’s two TRUE prophets.)

(Now . . . you are studying your Bible like William Miller did; and Christ shall begin helping you in this endeavor.)

Why would Christ help you in this matter?  Because He promised that He would help all:  IF, AND ONLY IF, you hold up your end of His baptism conditions!

Matthew 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.

That word, “lo,” when Christ speaks it means “So be it.”  It means He is making a promise now.  A conditional promise reserved for those who observe all things he has commanded; and it is quite important to note, here, that Christ has never broken a promise made to mankind.

It clearly does not mean He will be with someone who merely “believes in the name of Jesus Christ.”  That is a lesson of Satan.  Not that Paul was wrong, but Satan has twisted the meaning of Paul’s words.  In the days when Paul wrote those words, believing in the name of Jesus meant observing all of Christ’s commands!  Simple!  People understood this back then.  But over the course of hundreds and hundreds of years, Satan has convinced mankind to discard the “hard stuff” and he actually changed how mankind defines that word, “believe.”

William Miller learned about all of this because he studied his Bible slowly and when he came across anything that he did not understand, he searched the matter out in his Bible (and Concordance).  Why?  Because as a Baptist ninister, he knew he would only receive wrong answers from other Baptist ministers and Baptist Professors!  Oh, Miller did not find the answers overnight:  we today expect all answers instantly because we do not understand the value of patience:  and we do not understand that Christ, our CREATOR, will not acquiesce to our modern-day vanity requirement of finding “total and instant gratification,” nor will Christ acquiesce to our modern-day “lack of patience.”  Christ repeatedly teaches that His saints have patience and faith!  Christ will neither follow us, nor chase us, because He is our Creator.  We must obey His commands, or we will fail on His Judgment Day.  Simple.

One could call William Miller’s Dream a prophecy.  (Again, you will find William Miller’s Dream placed at the end of this letter.)  One could call it a dream, or a vision, or any number of other things.  The term is not important.  And just for now, here in these few paragraphs, the dream itself is not important:  yes, it is an incredibly important dream, but not for the purposes of demonstrating Christ’s Hidden Truths here.  (Always remember that there are Truths hidden in all of Christ’s Words.  William Miller’s hand might have moved the pen, but the words CAME FROM CHRIST, OUR CREATOR.)  One thing that long nagged at this doubting author, was that Miller’s Dream could have only been sent down by Christ, because the facts of mankind’s entire history perfectly match every detail of this dream:  and they still perfectly match today!  The name of the faith matters not and the name of the denomination matters not, including Christian denominations.

SIDE NOTE by jpw:  The facts of Miller’s Dream exactly match the ancient courses which the original Hebrew faith (and the later Jewish faith) pursued.  The facts of Miller’s Dream exactly match the current course which the Muslim faith is pursuing today, and Miller, himself, could not have possibly known this in his day!  In fact, this entire matter is described in the farewell sentence that Christ personally placed as the closing words of His Qur’an.

The Qur’an 114:1 – 6  Muhammad, say to the people, “I seek refuge with the LORD of people, the King of people, the God of people, against the harm of the slinking whisperer – who whispers into the hearts of people.”

But what is most notable here, is that after William Miller’s Dream was published, things changed in Heaven and things changed on earth:  THIS IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT.  And we shall prove all of this below, from our ancient Scriptures!

Please allow this author to demonstrate that regarding mankind’s behavior, nothing ever really changes!

Or . . . one could similarly consider an old adage that teaches, “History keeps repeating itself.”

Both of these “truths of mankind” are rock-solid.  But now, this author shall bring Christ, our Creator, into the equation.

Just before Christ determined to have the ancient Jews punished (meaning carried off to Babylon), He delivered a miraculous event, seemingly to give those ancient “displaced” Jews “just one more chance.”  For you see, William Miller’s Dream, of long ago, truly was Christ giving every “displaced” Christian in this world “just one more chance” to return to His commands sent down to this world:  as we near our last days.  (Displaced?  Yes, because of their religious leaders’ failures, they have never been exposed to Christ’s unadulterated Truths:  meaning commands, such as His sabbath!  But His ”one more chance” is only for those who “choose” to pay attention to Christ and accept His Word.  This is what we call free will, which we cherish so dearly, today.)  So how did it all go about 2,500 years ago, after king Josiah’s day?  Not very well, because mankind failed Christ, just as Christ’s Father is about to finally decide that we have once again, failed Christ completely:  to the point of His destroying this earth and mankind.  Please consider one thing about Revelation:  Christ is not returning to this world because there are so many good people living here; no, Christ is returning to destroy the many and to save just a few.  Christ truly is about to END IT ALL; and it is called Judgment Day.

In the verses below (just before the Jews were carried off into captivity to Babylon), Christ assured that the last few generations, of that day, would be given one last opportunity to return to Him, via mankind returning to observing His commands!  Does this sound like our world today, here in the year 2023?  In our world today, we have 99.9% of all Christians rejecting MORE THAN HALF of Christ’s Ten Commandments (notably rejecting His Sabbath, graven images, such as crosses hanging on a wall and pictures on the walls, and His Third Commandment of taking His name in vain, demonstrated on other webpages here; and let us not forget today’s acceptance of adultery and abortion).  As if this were not enough, they also reject ALL of Christ’s Laws given to Moses (detailed earlier in this letter), ALL of Christ’s ordinances regarding the punishment of certain sinners and all evil-doers (there is a difference!), and then ALL of Christ’s commanded Feasts.  (Remember, that in William Miller’s dream, all of the just mentioned collection of Christ’s commands are the jewels, diamonds, precious stones, gold and silver coins that the various religious leaders, throughout history have tarnished, soiled, and counterfeited.)

The scope of this letter does not permit this author going into great detail regarding the failure of today’s Christian faith failing most of Christ’s Ten Commandments given to Moses.  We have other webpages here that go into great detail regarding this matter.  On those other pages, you will find that nearly all Christian denominations fail at least five of Christ’s Commandments, and the vast majority fail at least seven of them!  Just one small example here would be taking our LORD’s name in vain.  That word “vain” means, among other things, guile.  Find this word in Strong’s Concordance.  “Guile” means to deceive by way of a cunning deceit.  If any Baptist minister ever tells you that if you are not born-again, baptized, and then saved, then you are going to hell; then that minister has taken the LORD’s name in vain.  He lied to you!  Because those words are found in no Scripture!  Oh, there are words that such a person shall not enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but that word “hell” is just not found in Christ’s words regarding this matter.  That Baptist minister has no right to assume God’s Authority in determining who goes to heaven and who goes to hell.  No person upon this earth is capable of deciding who will go to hell.  Revelation 5:3 clearly states that only the Lamb can unseal the Book of Life.

Well, just like William Miller’s Dream (of not that long ago!), Christ did the same for the ancient Jews who were living in Jerusalem:

2 Kings 22:3  And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying . . .

2 Kings 22:8  And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD.  And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

2 Kings 22:9  And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.

2 Kings 22:10  And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book.  And Shaphan read it before the king.

2 Kings 22:11 And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.

You see, over the many hundreds of years, beginning with the death of Solomon, the Hebrew religious leaders had followed the pattern of William Miller’s Dream exactly:  by way of removing, soiling, disturbing, and counterfeiting that which Christ had originally given them in their earliest days of Moses.  King Josiah discovered this in verse 11 above.  He attempted to reinstitute everything found in that book of the law, and this pleased Christ.  (One could equate this to the beginning of the Adventist movement as all of those various early founders tried to bring back as many of those old laws as western societies’ laws permitted in their day.After the death of king Josiah, the Jews returned to their old law-breaking ways, regarding Christ’s Word; and Babylon began deporting the Jews into slavery about ten years after king Josiah died.

**********************

Adventists . . . of all denominations . . . the entire point of this letter is that, in this author’s humble opinion, when the highest levels of your church executives have completely failed Christ’s commands, detailed in the Scriptures provided here, Christ’s Father shall finally determine that “this world is ripe.”

For this author truly believes that your “movement,” was Designed by Christ back in the 1800’s and is Christianity’s last chance to return to His commands detailed in His incredible gift of Baptism, given to His children.  For Christ has never, once, sent down a great miracle, nor prophecy for no apparent reason:  this author believes that your history is the same as king Josiah’s history.  That does not mean that you should be patting yourself on your shoulders; we are talking about all of mankind.  Also, remember how it went back in king Josiah’s day.  Satan won that earthly fight!  (We shall address this again at the end of this letter; and it will make your blood run cold through your veins.)

Revelation 14:14  And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

Revelation 14:15  And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap:  for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

Revelation 14:16  And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

Revelation 14:17  And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

Revelation 14:18  And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

SIDE NOTE by jpw:  Do you remember when Christ stated that even He did not know the hour of His return in Mark 13:32?  Only our LORD, Christ’s Father would determine the hour.  Well, you just saw this verified in Revelation 14:14 – 15 above:  where Christ was sitting on that cloud and His Father sent the message that the hour has come.  This command from Christ’s Father, our LORD, to Christ is also found in Malachi 3:

Malachi 3:17  And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

Malachi 3:18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

That verse 18 is Christ receiving His instructions from His Father, that Judgment Day has arrived.

This author apologizes for digressing, yet again.

**********************

Returning to the events which followed the death of the good king Josiah, it is true that those Jews were not completely destroyed in those olden days.  After 70 years of captivity (meaning slavery), nearly all of the original Jews had perished, but a significant number of their children and grandchildren did return to Jerusalem.  So, just what do those ancient deeds of Christ regarding both king Josiah and William Miller returning to Christ’s “Laws and commands” mean in today’s world?  Oh, not that much really, just our Eternity:

Matthew 7:13   Enter ye in at the strait gate:  for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew 7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Or one could consider our Christian “safety net” of baptism.  Surely that will save us!

Matthew 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Matthew 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.

Oops . . . not much help there. Maybe our returning to Christ’s Laws is a little important, here in these last days!  Perhaps it is even CRITICAL!  Could it be possible that Christ expects more from us than we are currently giving Him?  Maybe we should all take a lesson from William Miller and search those Scriptures of Christ which might reveal OUR OWN FAULTS HERE TODAY, within our own beloved religious institutions, and also in our personal beliefs!

OUR OWN FAULTS HERE TODAY?

Yes!  Because back in king Josiah’s day, nearly all Jews felt as though they were actually pleasing Christ, their Creator:  they were wrong.  Back in the days of William Miller’s Dream, nearly all Christians felt as if they were actually pleasing Christ, their Creator:  they were wrong.  They were wrong solely because of their religious leaders’ teachings and false doctrines.  And nothing has changed today:  history continues to repeat itself; due to the efforts of Satan, who we cannot see; and do not understand!  Nearly all Christians, today, are still “as wrong” as those Jews back in the days when they were carried off to Babylon.  Worse yet, nearly all Christians, today, are just “as wrong” as those ancient Jews who crucified Jesus.  Why?  Because nearly all Christians of today are failing Christ’s commands even worse than those ancient Jews who crucified Jesus!  (Reference Matthew 28:20 quoted just above, in red letters.)  And just like long ago, Christians today, are wrong solely because of their religious leaders’ teachings.  Only this time, there will be no carrying off to captivity!  This time, all Scriptures clearly teach that we shall finally face Christ’s Judgment Day!  And there will be no apologizing for our mistakes when Judgment Day comes upon us.

Christians!  Your teachers and leaders have been lying to you (by way of Satan’s influence) for hundreds of years now.  They falsely teach that “you are destined for Heaven.”  They use the words of Paul to bolster this lie.  No Sunday keeping pastor can ever understand the words of Paul because Paul kept only the Sabbath!  (If any Christian cannot place Paul’s obedience to Christ’s Laws ahead of the letters he wrote; and also ahead of their own modern-day vanities, expectations, and earthly desires; then that Christian has no chance of ever understanding the teachings of Paul!  All Sunday-keeping Christians need to follow this Truth of God as if their very lives depended upon it.)  Your Sunday-keeping pastors’ words to you are a lie, long ago taught by THEIR OWN leaders and teachers, by way of Satan, so that all Christians have now lowered their guard concerning Satan’s deeds in this world.  Satan loves lazy people who carelessly push Christ’s commands and Commandments aside in their lives.

Here is your TRUE DESTINY as taught by all Scriptures ever sent down to this world.  No matter how good of a life you have lived or how bad of a life you have lived, your TRUE, AND ONLY, DESTINY is to stand before Christ, our Creator, on His Judgment Day!  No matter who you are, or what you believe, there is no escaping the TRUE DESTINY that Christ designed for this entire world.  After this, Christ shall assign our “after life” destiny and shall do so according to the lives each of us lived down here and by our efforts in observing those known Laws which He has placed on every square inch of His planet Earth.

On Judgment Day, the only two options that Christ assigns will be either an eternity in Heaven . . . or the “second death.”  These Truths of God can be found in the books of Ezekiel and Revelation, the Qur’an, the teachings of the Buddha, and the original teachings given to the Hindu faith, back in Abraham’s day.  No matter what any religious leader, of any faith, teaches to the contrary, WE HAVE NO PART in this final decision of Christ.

 

**************************************************************************************

 

All of these Truths of God should frighten every single Christian reading this letter:  regardless of their denomination.  Because a lot of Christians living today are not going to make it to Heaven.  Matthew 7:13 – 14, quoted just above, proves this.  Your religious leaders teach that this does not apply to you.  Well, your religious leaders are wrong!  Your religious leaders are only teaching Satan’s lies that they learned when they were young!  And if you are reading this letter, then you still have a chance to do something about that:  the choice is entirely yours, and yours ALONE.  For on Judgment Day, no other person will be able to help you:  so live your life according to this Truth of God!

 

**************************************************************************************

 

My dearest friend . . . please remember that this author has never had any part in the Seventh Day Adventist church, nor the other Adventist churches of today:  for there are many.  This author is not teaching that any person should join the Seventh Day Adventist church.  There is not one single Scripture, on this earth, which states that any person who fails to attend a church will go to hell.  Those words are just not found in any Truth of God!  But then again, there are an incredible amount of folks who are raising families, working long hours, and dealing with many other of life’s problems (such as budgeting) that always come up:  and these folks might not have a lot of time to study the Word of God, at home, every night.  Also, there are an incredible amount of folks who desire to socialize with like-minded folks, for the encouragement and support benefits that come with this.

SIDE NOTE by jpw:  Regarding our busy schedules, Christ sent an answer down to this earth that addresses our busy schedules of raising our family and dealing with “life.”  Christ called it a DAY OF REST.  He even made it one of His Ten Commandments!  While you are resting from your earthly “life;” you, and your children, can consider just what part of your lives you shall give to God.  There are two benefits from just this one Commandment:  getting a day of earthly rest (from Satan’s onslaught regarding mammon) and also getting closer to your Heavenly Creator (in His first three Commandments).  So many people believe the Sabbath is a burden!  Christ’s DAY OF REST is a gift to us!  If you ever decide to read your Bible, instead of relying solely upon your religious leaders, you will find that Jesus taught this VERY LESSON regarding this incredible gift which was given to us.  But know this now!  No Sunday keeping pastor can EVER teach you the importance of Christ’s Fourth Commandment!  This is significant.

Returning to the potential value in finding a “good” church, there are a great many folks, in this world today, that might need someone who can just feed them the Word of God once a week.  (Clearly, this cannot happen in any church, on a Sunday!)  But as stated above, Christ created a day that He called His Sabbath, just to remove all of us from our “works and various problems of life” in this world.  He commanded this to be a day of rest (meaning from our work, everyday struggles, and especially Satan’s ways that continually creep into our daily lives.)  Would you like to learn one Truth of Christ’s Sabbath which is actually found in a different Scripture, elsewhere in this world, that Christians do not follow?  Christ created the Sabbath for mankind because Christ, and His Father, fully understood the ways of Satan that would fall upon this world:  and they knew this before they created the Sabbath.  Christ’s Sabbath was Designed especially for all later Christians, historically speaking, so that Christians might distinguish those religious leaders who observe Christ’s commands from those who do not!  No you say?  Well, do not say “no” to Christ in His words below:

No matter what you believe, here in this little world, do not dismiss the fact that the words, below, are Christ speaking to this world:

The Qur’an 16:124  The Sabbath was made obligatory only for those who differed about itOn the Day of Resurrection your LORD will judge between them as to their differences.

Remember that the ancient Hebrews, and later Jews, never differed over Christ’s Sabbath:  a great unspoken Scriptural Truth there.  No, this is a purely Christian matter today!  Christ’s Sabbath is a Designed Help from His Father, our LORD, even if we do not understand His Design.  (Or put it this way:  Christ’s Sabbath is just as important to us as our not murdering our neighbor.  Our failure to understand this is only our shortcoming.)  But Christ’s Sabbath only helps us if we choose to accept his “Design.”  The bad news here is that Christ does not accept counterfeits!  Such as Sunday worship.  Why?  Because Christ commanded the LAST day of the week.  It was only Satan who changed it to the FIRST day of the week, and this makes Sunday worship a counterfeit!  But forget Satan for a moment!  Christ expects every person on this earth to follow only His Word!

Or put it this way:  if you are worshiping on Sunday, you are observing Satan’s lies and you are literally worshiping a “false image” of Christ which Satan has placed in front of your eyes, meaning at the center of your beliefs.  You just do not realize your error here, due solely to your “unwitting rejection” of Christ’s Word that has been sent down to this earth.  Blame your Christian leaders, YES, but blame yourself also, for not learning the Word of God yourself!  Quite honestly, this author has been writing to folks, just like you, for some 25 years now.  This particular letter is this author’s first written mainly to one church in particular.  And this author prays that this never has to happen again.  To this author, the word “unwitting” means that you do not understand the magnitude of your error in this matter:  and this is solely your fault.

So, believe it or not, there truly are a few “Law and Commandment abiding” churches, that exist today, which still teach a great many of Christ’s Laws, Commandments, ordinances, and Feasts:  and they will gladly “feed” you those Words of Christ which He wants you to learn, and obey; out of respect, and LOVE for Him.  Oh, this author is “addressing” the Seventh Day Adventist church, in several parts of this letter, only because they are the largest of the Adventist movement denominations and this author has easy access to their teachings.  There are others (in your local area!) who are most likely similar, but this author cannot attest to any of these others.  (Baptists!  Did you know there is a Seventh Day Baptist church with local churches all across America?  This author cannot attest to their church doctrine, but they sure do understand Christ’s Ten Commandments!  And this absolutely removes them from that 99.9% of churches which follow Satan’s Sunday practice.)  We shall provide a link to these others, shortly.  The name of your church matters not!  The name, and commands, of your Creator (Christ) are all that matters in this world.

So once again, for the umpteenth time; please find below, Christ’s Words to consider just once again:  these words cannot be overstated regarding our future in Heaven, someday(Meaning NOT TODAY!  So never live for just TODAY!)  We must all get past Christ’s Judgment Day!  These are not this author’s words, these words come straight from that God which created this universe, this earth, and mankind.  And they come from that very God who will judge us all:

Matthew 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Matthew 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.

There are a great many folks (about 99.9% of us) who have never been taught . . . that if we just follow Christ’s commands sent to this earth, then He will be with us always!  Even unto Judgment Day!  AMEN!  As an added Blessing from Christ, please understand that Jesus only spoke this word, AMEN, twice while he walked this earth.  It does not mean “I am finished speaking now.”  The word AMEN means, So be it!”  This word is actually a promise from Christ, our Creator, when He speaks it.

There is not one single Christian denomination, known to this author, that understands what this word AMEN truly means, when Christ, Himself, speaks this word.  When our Creator speaks this word, it is an absolute promise!  One can find how this Greek word (G281) was commonly used in Strong’s Concordance.

Now that Christians can understand just how important Christ’s commands are in this world, their options become clear, simple, and only require two steps, in this author’s humble opinion:

If any person (who desires to RETURN to Christ’s Ways and Christ’s Scriptures) decides that they could use some help, guidance, and especially LEARN JUST WHAT CHRIST’S COMMANDS ARE, (that is a really big one!), then they would most likely benefit from joining a real, “Christ’s Laws-Centered church” which actually observes Christ’s Commandments, Laws, ordinances, and preferably His Feasts:  which He clearly identified as one of His requirements for baptism.  If you have not read our page on Baptism here, Christ also has requirements for His religious leaders who are performing baptisms for Him.  Again, this author keeps mentioning the Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church because of all Christ’s Laws-Centered churches, they are the largest, they have a massive digital signature that can be found across this world, including TV, radio, Internet, and they have significant evangelical efforts.  But no, they are not perfect!  This author has demonstrated some of their shortcomings on another webpage here but has always reminded every reader that NOT ONE SHORTCOMING of the SDA church will prevent any person from finding the Will of God, the Ways of God, and the Commandments of God:  all of this meaning SALVATION ON JUDGMENT DAY!  This places the SDA church in the top 0.1% of all Christian denominations.  No church is perfect.  Why?  Because no person is perfect!

Also, as mentioned above, there are other options for any person who seeks our True Christ, as described in Scripture.  Any person, who decides that they want to finally discover, love, AND THEN follow their True Creator (Christ) and all of His Commandments and Laws, one can then easily find a local church here.”  (Link opens in a new window.)

Finding a new and scripturally obedient church might seem to be complicated, but it is not!  Nothing is complicated with Christ.  First, use Christ’s Fourth Commandment as your primary filter, simply because it is the easiest!  Once you find any church who obeys Christ’s Fourth Commandment, you have eliminated about 99.9% of ALL Christian denominations of today.  (Yes, today’s Christian faith has completely turned to Satan, and his lies, and therefore has completely failed Christ!  Hence, the Book of Revelation being sent TO THE CHRISTIANS!)

This author cannot attest to, nor recommend, any of the Sabbath keeping churches you might find at that link above, but in this old author’s observations, nearly all Sabbath keeping churches will “generally” be following nearly all of Christ’s Laws:  including keeping evil out of mankind’s sight, clean and unclean meats, all of Christ’s ordinances regarding the punishing (and forgiving) of sinners:  also, this author understands that some of them actually keep Christ’s commanded Feasts!  It should be noted that “the casting out of evils.” mentioned here in this letter, is becoming increasingly difficult (and also confusing) for these churches to obey, due to some disastrous Western societal changes in recent years.  But one must always remember that it has been prophesied that Satan would increase his work pace in these last days.  Therefore, some remaining “good” churches are beginning to struggle today!  But if any person, searching for a church, can remember that “oh so easy to observe” requirement of Christ’s Sabbath, everything else becomes simple.  Oh, you have a few other observations to make regarding any potential church you might join, but you have already cleared your biggest hurdle:  and it required nearly zero-effort on your part!  Observing Christ’s Sabbath is easy!  Observing Christ’s Sabbath is free!  It costs nothing, and you have instantly eliminated 99.9% of Satan’s false churches, here in these last days!  Revelation 17:5 calls all of them HARLOTS:  and John, long ago, intentionally capitalized most of that VERSE FOR US, here in these last days!  (Quite honestly, Satan is not all “that tough” compared to Christ, our Creator.  It is actually we, mankind, who are “that weak” here in this vanity-ridden world we live in.  And this is why Christ placed His Father’s Scriptures here:  for those who finally find a desire to defeat Satan; and even more so, to find even a small desire to start following our LORD, who created us.  We are talking baby-steps here!  Christ’s Sabbath is a baby-step.  And it is so easy!)  To ignore Christ’s Sabbath is to arrogantly tell Christ that you do not need Him in your life!  Quite honestly, there can be no other explanation:  no matter what any current religious leader might teach to the contrary.

My friends, this incredible lesson from Christ comes to you, courtesy of His ancient Scriptures regarding king Josiah!  It happened shortly after king Josiah’s death and it is happening again, TODAY, in every person’s sight!  Yet we all currently ignore the obvious because we are all so happy in our own little lives, down here today:  just like they were in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, just like they were in the days of Noah, and as prophesy also teaches, just like we are TODAY, here in the year 2023.  Not twenty-years from now, but TODAY!  For you see, Christ sent down His dream to William Miller for a reason:  it did not happen by accident.  Christ has a purpose for everything that He does!  Most who follow this world’s Adventist movement (regarding Christ’s return, His Judgment Day, His sabbath and all of His Laws) are taught that Christ is only trying to save them, and their church only; and any who are fortunate enough to join their church before Christ returns.  We all have this self-centered trait:  it is common to us all, including this author.  Why is this wrong?  Because we can only see this LIFE from our point-of-view.  All Heavenly events happen according to God’s point-of-view:  hence, our shortsightedness.  This is normal:  it is wrong, but it is normal.  The real reason that Christ sent this dream down to William Miller was to adhere to His (and His Father’s) Perfect Righteousness mentioned in Malachi 4:2.  (We detailed that verse on our webpage titled “The Greatest Famine.”  Each reader should go to that page and just do a search for “Malachi 4:2.”  The entire subject of those few paragraphs, in green letters, is about how we will “transition” to life in Heaven; where we will finally understand God’s point-of-view regarding everything.)  Their Perfect Honor (Righteousness) required (and still requires!) that They give ALL who were (and currently are!) “LOST” one final chance before Their prophetic punishment is determined and delivered:  this is how Righteous our LORD is!  We are nearing that punishment phase now:  inching closer every day as this world collapses around us.  Actually, Christ’s last chance (for today’s world) began, a while back, when that dream was given to William Miller.  Christ furthered His Father’s Honor (Righteousness) by way of Ellen White’s writings regarding today.  Oh, your typical Sunday-keeping religious leaders of today always, and insultingly, dismiss her words, but her words are consistently proving true as time goes on.  Also, it is quite important to note that all of today’s typical Sunday-keeping religious leaders (meaning about 99.9% of them!) belong to Satan now:  only partially due to their predecessors’ and teachers’ failings.  This non-Adventist author has read many of those naysayers’ words:  and in EVERY instance, they are spoken by “religious experts” who fail to keep but half of Christ’s Commandments, few of Christ’s Laws, fewer of His ordinances, and none of His Feasts!  (All of this meaning that not one of those naysayers is even considered to be baptized, by Christ, per His Spoken Word in Matthew 28:20, which they claim to “cherish.”)  Also, this author performed a great many Scriptural fact-checks regarding the words of these naysayers and in EVERY instance, their accusations were based upon either their denomination’s false doctrine, or they were forced to bend and/or twist the Scriptures they did quote, solely because while Ellen White did understand (and believe in) those very Scriptures, these naysayers did not!  This forced them to “symbolize or spiritualize” Christ’s Scriptures (so as to fit their own personal preferences and beliefs).  No, this author shall always stick with observing those commands which Christ has delivered to this world.  And again, this author must say, that he is not, nor has ever been a member of any of these “Adventist” type of churches.  But this author understands just a few of Christ’s Commandments, Laws, ordinances, and Feasts.

So again, just to emphasize the simplicity of those last two lengthy paragraphs:  NEVER LISTEN TO A “SELF APPOINTED” CHRISTIAN EXPERT WHO FAILS TO KEEP CHRIST’S SABBATH!  Christ’s Sabbath is His COMPASS, given to us for our life here, of how to keep THE ENTIRETY of Christ’s Truths, Laws, and Commandments, in this world, SIMPLE!  (A compass?  Well, it only points to Him!  And that is exactly why Christ made His Sabbath one of His Ten Commandments.  He stated all of this “outright” in His Qur’an, verse 16:124, quoted above!  And in that verse, Christ also teaches that He shall judge us, fairly harshly, regarding this Sabbath matter.)  And um, it is also a pretty good way of seeing the works of Satan throughout this world also:  by way of Christ’s Perfect Design in this world which He created.  Remember this always:  it could save your Eternal life.

Have you, the reader, ever been taught anything about Christ’s “second death” or His “Book of Life” which is kept in Heaven, out of our sight?  Both of these items are significant events that will occur on, or around, our Judgment Day.  This author guesses that you have not been taught anything about these very important parts of every person’s life, solely because your Sunday keeping religious leaders have always taught you that you will be exempt from every bad thing that is found in Revelation.  Quite honestly, today’s Adventist churches are a bit weak on Christ’s “second death” and His “Book of Life” also.  So please understand now, that not one single person is exempt from any Scripture ever written by our LORD!  In fact, this author has proved, by way of Scripture here on this website, that the bad things found in Revelation will be focused mainly upon all “erring” Christians of today:  meaning those who do not observe all of Christ’s commands that He referenced in Matthew 28:19 – 20:  meaning, basically, the entire Christian faith of today!  (One would do well to read our pages tabbed “The Will of God,” and “The other Baptism.”)  So, maybe you should read Christ’s Book of Revelation because most of it is about today’s world and much of it is about today’s Christian faith, as it exists in these last days!  And if that fairly small book of Revelation scares you, then maybe you should also read Christ’s Older Testament and then Christ’s Newer Testament; because no matter what any religious leader teaches you, this world has only one Creator and His name is Christ!  And Christ states, quite clearly, that you cannot love Him without obeying His commands.  Never dismiss Christ’s Older Words; because if you do, His Newer Words and promises (by way of Jesus) shall not apply to you.  Christ clearly states that the promises placed within His Gospels apply ONLY to those who observe His commands which were delivered in His Older Testament!  If you think the Epistles, found after the Gospels, teach differently, then you just do not understand the words written in those Epistles.  And again, this is solely because of your Sunday keeping religious leaders’ false teachings:  placing the words of Paul AHEAD of the Word of God!  Most of Paul’s words are pretty good, but only if you place Christ’s teachings (and commands) first!  Think of it this way:  if you believe anything Paul wrote disagrees with anything Christ spoke in His Old or New Testament, WHO SHOULD YOU FOLLOW?  A mere man, or your LORD, who created you?  (You are about to receive a heavy dose of Scriptures regarding that question.)  Again, all Truth, Wisdom, and Understanding from Christ is that simple.  TRUTH IS TRUTH!

Before we leave William Miller’s Dream, there is one very important lesson, from Christ, in that Dream.  This author would estimate that about 99.9% of active Christians today (the Sunday keepers, and those with graven images everywhere, altars in their churches, eating unclean meats, et al.) would naturally believe they are tending to those jewels of William Miller’s Dream after reading his Dream, which is found at the end of this letter.  But because of their religious leaders (both from long ago and still today), today’s Christians are actually following either those soiled jewels and coins, or those counterfeit jewels and coins described by William Miller, or both!  As an example, Sunday worship is a counterfeit; while all graven images and altars in places of worship are soiled.  BECAUSE OF THEIR CHRISTIAN LEADERS’ LIES, THESE CHRISTIANS HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW THAT THEY ARE FAILING CHRIST.  This is only because those with the keys in William Miller’s Dream (meaning our religious leaders!) have for a long time, soiled and counterfeited those jewels which Christ Personally placed in His Scriptures; meaning all of His Scriptures:  starting with the ancient Hebrews; then the Jews later; and then the Christians, and now, the Muslims!

William Miller’s Dream is THIS significant to Christ, who created this world.

Indeed, nearly all Christians of today are actually worshiping a false god, there in their Christian churches.  False god?  Yes!  A counterfeit image of Jesus that Satan has propped up in front of them every Sunday in church:  with a manmade altar up front, crosses on the walls, and other “graven images” nailed to the four walls which surround them!  This is what Christ meant when teaching about false gods!  Thousands of years ago, Satan was Baal, but Satan can easily adapt.  Today, Satan is a “false image” of Christ, and Satan has millions (perhaps billions!) of Christians worshiping him every Sunday:  that “billions” part would include over the last one-thousand-years!  More so, the words these religious leaders speak, every Sunday, are soiled versions of Christ’s Scriptures which He Personally placed upon this world!  With this, each reader can now understand how their religious leaders are currently causing them to fail Christ’s First Commandment also:  WORSHIPING FALSE GODS!  There is no other way to state this simple Truth of God!  Well actually, there is:

****************

****************

Regarding any church that worships on a Sunday (4); teaching that “some others” who believe differently are going to hell (3); possessing manmade (meaning graven!) images or a cross on the walls, and/or altars up front (2); and finally, abandoning all of Christ’s Laws and commands (as no longer valid), due to Satan’s lies, (1)THAT CHURCH IS FAILING ALL FOUR OF CHRIST’S FIRST TEN COMMANDMENTS!  And this author just counted down every one of those four Commandments regarding that church.  Maybe this will help each reader here understand this author’s claims of that 99.9% failure rate amongst our Christian churches of today.  Always remember that only the Lamb can unseal the books and determine who is going to hell.

****************

****************

Oh, but every Christian should read William Miller’s Dream:  it is a short read.
(This author shall place it at the end of this letter, for all to learn.)

William Miller was not an Adventist!  He was a Baptist minister who found the Light.

(Just as king Josiah found this very Light, long ago, in his day.)

Found the Light?  That would be the Light described in John 1:7, below.

And who was sent to witness for that Light in John 1:7?  None other than John the Baptist.

John the Baptist was a Jew!  A Jew who placed God before his religious leaders!

John 1:6  There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

John 1:7  The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

Regarding today’s Seventh Day Adventist church, they have had some minor, to moderate soiling of Christ’s jewels, in this author’s humble opinion, by way of Christ’s teachings.  But they have no significant history of counterfeits that this author has been able to observe.  This is important; or at least it used to be.  Because they are now welcoming “complete counterfeits” (which come with Satan’s evils) into their presence and the rest shall be history, according to William Miller’ Dream of nearly 200 years ago.  (That LGBXYZ nonsense and homosexual pastors trying to teach folks that they need to follow Christ’s Laws, while they consider themselves above these very Laws of Christ.  So just where is that Scripture which teaches that religious leaders are above Christ’s Laws and commands?  It does not exist!  EVIL!  PURE EVIL ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD!)  In this author’s opinion, William Miller’s Dream is actually occurring today regarding today’s Adventist churches:  it was a prophecy sent down by Christ; hence it has been written; and it has begun:  and again, this is merely the humble opinion of this pathetic author!  Adventists, take note of that last sentence, because Satan now has at least a few toes in your door:  you did not do this; your religious leaders did this.  (Jesus faced this same problem in his day; so now you might know how a great many Jews felt back in Jesus’ day:  just before their religious leaders crucified Christ!  Think about that.  Those ancient Jews just sat back and watched their religious leaders cause the crucifixion of their known Messiah!  Will you Adventists of today do the same, regarding your church which YOU OWN?  And which Christ Personally created for these last days?)  A significant number of Christians today hate all Jews because they believe that the Jews killed Jesus.  This is wrong and Christians need to learn the truth of this world here.  Satan killed Jesus and Satan accomplished this through the religious leaders of that day.  Bringing all of this back to our world today, Satan shall kill Christ’s two final witnesses, here in these last days, and Satan shall accomplish this through the religious leaders of today!  To this author, at least, Revelation teaches this quite clearly.  Satan is a fierce opponent once a door has been opened to him.

Actually . . . Satan is an undefeated opponent once he has been “welcomed in” by religious leaders.  Adventists of today!  Please understand that sheep (and all animals, actually) follow those who feed them.  Christ instructed your religious leaders to merely feed you, His Word.  He never told them to “lead, push, or pull” His sheep:  and you need to understand this TODAY!  Adventists, a homosexual pastor is a counterfeit pastor!  “Affirming” Satan’s evils (LGBXYZ) amongst Christ’s perfect jewels is a counterfeit jewel, at a minimum!

As a reminder to all Adventists who desire to stick-with (or return-to) those beloved Laws of Christ, just as king Josiah did, always remember these words which were quoted earlier in this letter:

Job 22:23  If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

Those are “saving” words and can save a great many lives upon this earth, if followed.  There are actually two lessons in that one sentence.  First, if you return to the Almighty, He shall build you up:  just as Job had that “hedge” placed around him by Christ.  Second, you shall put all evils out of your life.  In this Truth of God, all that is required from you is to simply return to Christ’s teachings and commands:  for Christ’s teachings instruct you to put all “evil” far from your lives.  The Book of Job has some incredible lessons for mankind today, yet few religious leaders ever teach this wisdom which Christ placed in that Book.

(This author cannot prove this by way of Scripture, but this author has a strong feeling that it was Christ who wrote the Book of Job.  Why?  Because it talks about heavenly events that took place while this earth was being created.  No person was even alive in those days.  Think about that.  That book teaches about the “foundations of this world.”  It teaches about the morning stars singing together and the sons of God shouting for joy when the earth was created.  Much to think about there!  For who could possibly write those words, except Christ?)

SIDE NOTE by jpw

There is one lesson found in the opening verses of Job that must absolutely be addressed in this letter.  (This author’s last three letters, honestly.)  When reading the verses of Job quoted below, please keep in mind Christ’s words found in Matthew 28, regarding the benefits of our being baptized according to His conditions:

Matthew 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.

Yes, this author keeps harping on those verses, and a few others, here in this letter because only that “proverbial handful” of Christians today TRULY have “Christ with them always, even unto the end of the world.”  Indeed, this author emphatically declares that this is the primary failure of the entire Christian faith of today!  Christ literally handed these Christian leaders the best possible Gift any person could ever have in this world and these church leaders then squandered that Gift through the disobedience that Satan taught to them.  See now, EXACTLY what they squandered by promoting Satan’s easy and wide path through this earthly life.  The verses below are this world’s best description of what we receive when we obey Christ, our Creator:

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

Job 1:2  And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

Job 1:3  His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

Job was a wealthy man who clearly obeyed Christ, his Creator.

Job 1:5  And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all:  for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.  Thus did Job continually.

Job observed all of Christ’s Laws and commands, of those days, and went so far as to provide offerings for his entire household, just in case any of them fell short, on their own.  Job was such a giving man, in that this was not even required of him:  he loved his LORD that much.  This is how righteous Job was.  Do you disagree?  Read on and see just what it means to have “Christ with you, always.”

Job 1:8  And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

This letter is mostly about Satan’s evils here in this world, so please pay close attention here because we shall bring this back to the lives we live, here in these last days:  we shall also bring this back to the entire point of this letter!

Job 1:9  Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

Job 1:10  Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?  thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Is it not odd, that Job had exactly what all of our Christian leaders of today desire?  Yet they have truly decided (with a bit of help from Satan) that they might obtain everything Job had WITHOUT having to obey Christ’s commands and Laws.  What an incredible Truth of God that Job 1:10 teaches!  My dearest friends . . . never, ever forget Job 1:10!  This is a tremendous lesson from Christ to this entire world of today!  If we obey every letter of Christ’s Laws and Commandments, then Satan cannot touch us!  Paul taught of this very promise from Christ, but nary a Christian teacher, today, understands ANY of these words that Paul wrote in Ephesians.

AN EXTREMELY CRITICAL SIDE NOTE by jpw:

Never, ever forget Job 1:10!  Paul taught this world about putting on the “whole armour of God” in Ephesians, chapter 6.  Christian leaders have forever gotten this wrong and our world, today, is paying the price for their sins:  exactly like the Jewish leaders had done, back in the days of Jesus!  Paul’s words of the “whole armour of God” truly are found in Ephesians 6:13 – 14.  But Christ’s Truth regarding His “whole armour of God” actually begins with the first verse of Ephesians, chapter 5!  This means especially, that first verse!  Paul’s lesson only “culminates” with Ephesians 6:13 – 14.  This is a classic example of Christian leaders desiring their dessert, while entirely skipping Christ’s rule of meat-and-potatoes FIRST, children!  Adventists!  Yours might be this world’s last hope regarding these last days.  Please, please learn about the “Whole armour of God.”  PAUL’S LESSON HERE BEGINS WITH EPHESIANS 5:1.  Paul’s lesson only ends with Ephesians 6:14!

My dearest friends, if you desire the “whole armour of God,” then learn the whole lesson of Christ here!  Christ’s Lesson here is that if you do not observe the ENTIRETY of Ephesians 5, then you do not QUALIFY for receiving His Whole Armor, which is detailed in Job, chapter 1.  It really is this simple.  So please understand the words of Paul:  you do not just put on the whole armor of God, by yourself.  Christ places this armor upon you:  if He deems you worthy, by way of your efforts shown to Him.  (We have a webpage here that describes all of this in much more Scriptural detail.)

Adventists!  The only solution to your problems of today is found in Ephesians, chapter 5:  a chapter rarely taught by any Christian leader of today!  Why?  Because Paul’s words send you back to Job’s words!  And Job’s words send you back to Christ’s Commandments, Laws, Feasts, and ordinances that were delivered to Moses:  and which were quoted earlier in this letter!  Will you succeed?  Will you follow the words of Paul?

Returning to Job’s story above, Satan complained that Christ had built an impenetrable “hedge” around Job, so as to protect Job from all evils:  meaning, well, Satan of course.  Please understand that Satan was actually complaining to Christ that he could not possibly touch Job because Christ was with Job!  Now, read Matthew 28:20 just once again and see exactly what Christ’s baptism does for us!  No, not the getting wet part!  The other Baptism!  The one where we observe all things that Christ has commanded to this world, since the day He created this world!  Job did this!  And any person reading this letter can still do this!  It is a fairly simple decision, quite honestly.  All one has to do is to “decide” just what part Christ shall be given in their lives.  There is only first-place and last-place because the story of Job teaches that there is no in-between.  (So many people today, including our religious leaders, desire that false and imaginary “in-between” part so they might pursue some of those perceived comforts and joys, which Satan has caused us to covet.)  Oh, this is such a very simple decision.  Adventists!  Just what are your church executives coveting in this world today?  Quite honestly, this is precisely why every person has been placed upon this earth:  so that Christ, and His Father, our LORD, can watch and see (and then Decide!) who shall be able to “further their cause” in the Kingdom of Heaven.  And quite honestly, this is why Christ is no respecter of persons!  Oh, but Heaven has no place for selfishness:  that is precisely why Satan was cast out.

LIFE TRULY IS THIS SIMPLE!

Once again, this author apologizes for digressing.

Actually, before concluding this letter, this author must digress twice more.

This author has a hunch that this might be his last letter, so this author must get two things “off his chest” before concluding this letter.  First, this author must address the “diddly” nonsense that he hears nearly all Christian teachers spewing forth upon the internet and radio.  (This author does not have TV but is sure it is found there also.)  And then, this author must address those Adventists (not just the SDA church!) who are so close to his own heart, because of the true goodness this author finds in your hearts.

A BRIEF SETUP by jpw

This author hears many preachers (of every denomination!) who spend hours, upon hours, trying to teach people about “developing a relationship with Christ.”  (Never mind that they should be spending hours, upon hours, and indeed, the rest of their lives teaching this world that we need to obey all of Christ’s commands; and set all evil away from our lives, here in this “evil-consumed” world of today.)  There is only one person on this earth who wants us to develop a “relationship” with Christ:  his name is Satan!  A relationship?  The Bible teaches of only one relationship with Christ, our Creator.

It is a very short . . . and simple . . . lesson.

Christ’s Older Testament (from Solomon, the wisest person who ever lived)

Ecclesiastes 12:13  Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:  Fear God, and keep his commandments:  for this is the whole duty of man.

Ecclesiastes 12:14  For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

**********************

There is your relationship with Christ,

and there is your reward, fully explained.

**********************

Christ’s Newer Testament . . . and remember that Christ swore He would never change in Malachi 3:6!

Matthew 28:19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Matthew 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:  and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.  Amen.

Our relationship – observe all things Christ has ever commanded!

Our reward – Christ shall be with you forever!  (Funny, how Christ intentionally mentioned today’s “end of the world” timeframe in Matthew 28:20.  This is significant.)  All of this was completely explained in the verses of Job, above; and in the verses of Paul in Ephesians 5 and 6.  So remember, you cannot have Ephesians 6:13 without obeying all of Ephesians 5!  You cannot count yourself as baptized, in Matthew 28:19, without observing all things that Christ has commanded this world in the very next verse!  TRUTH IS TRUTH!

Christ’s Words in Matthew above perfectly, and completely, describe our relationship with Him.  Obey HimAnd He will then protect us!  End of Christ’s relationship with us; end of discussion; and end of Christ’s Truths regarding this matter.  Remember Job!  Anything less, and mankind falls short of Christ’s protection.

Anything more . . . and mankind will only focus on that “more” part, earnestly believing they have now obeyed Christ.  For once Satan and his lies enter the picture, it becomes easy for us to concentrate on the “more” and then feel confident while discarding Christ’s original commands:  every Christian who currently worships on Sunday is guilty of this very failure which was long ago designed by Satan.  Remember Eve because this was exactly what she did!  Satan convinced her of the more.  If any reader has read our webpage tabbed “Satan’s Achilles Heel,” they learned that it is forbidden for Satan to change our LORD’s Scriptures.  But it is not forbidden for Satan to trick our religious leaders, or us, into incorporating (or injecting) his “more” into what we believe Scriptures teach.  For Satan, this becomes ridiculously easy when we do not even know our Scriptures:  as is the case with nearly all Christians of today, quite sadly.  Yet here they are, currently believing that they have developed a “relationship” with Christ:  because their Christian leaders convinced them they have done so.  That is what this author means when he uses that word, “more,” above.  (And this, exactly, is where you can find value in one of those few good churches, described above!  For no church can get you to Heaven, but those few good churches truly can “feed” you as Jesus instructed them to do.  After you have been fed, the rest is up to you.)

Always keep Christ simple because Christ truly is simple!  And always remember that Christ created us only to watch (and later collect!) those who chose to adhere to His Commandments and Laws:  meaning those who Christ (and His Father, our LORD), know shall further our LORD’s Design for His Kingdom of Heaven.  This truly is the only reason that Christ placed us here!  And true to His Word found in the Book of Revelation, He will discard the rest, like ashes removed from a fireplace (Matthew 7:13 – 14 below).  There is no “wiling” your way into Christ’s favor because you think you have developed a “relationship” with Him.  This nonsense is from Satan!  See Satan, in the verse below!

Matthew 7:13  Enter ye in at the strait gate:  for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew 7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Anything beyond Christ’s Truths described in His Scriptures is merely soiling those jewels which Christ presented to William Miller in that Dream.  This author will go to his grave teaching that those jewels, diamonds, stones, and coins are Christ’s Scriptures, Commandments, Laws, ordinances, Feasts, and all of Christ’s Truths that He delivered to this world, for His Father, our LORD God, who sits on the Throne in the Kingdom of Heaven.  Those jewels are not peoples, denominations, nor even the various faiths that Christ has personally placed upon this earth amongst the various peoples of this world.  Every faith upon this earth, which this old author has studied, clearly teaches of their own “Box of Jewels” that were given to them by Christ, their Creator.  They merely call Christ’s Scriptures by different names.  Different names?  Well, it was Christ who babbled our languages so very long ago:  so get over these silly, and earthly, name differences.

When any religious teacher attempts to add to, remove, or modify Christ’s Word in any manner, they are opening a door for Satan to “enter” their teachings.  And enter he will.  A relationship with Christ?  He is God and He created us.  We are NOTHING!  We are to obey Him and humbly enjoy those gifts which He sends down to us.  (Actually, that sentence comes straight from Christ’s Qur’an.  Yes, today’s Muslims are not doing so well with those words either.  We all have our problems.)  End of discussion!  Solomon taught this and Jesus taught this.  Obey?  Well, Christ created this world according to His Father’s Will, and with His Father’s Authority.  There is only one reason they created this world and that reason is because they are “looking for” those who might further “Their Cause” regarding our LORD growing His Kingdom of Heaven.  It really is this simple!  When you ever get to Heaven, you have not yet reached the Kingdom of Heaven.  We have a few webpages describing that difference here.  Once you reach Heaven, you will be very busy, regarding your new path of reaching the Kingdom of Heaven.

To put all of this another way . . .

For any atheist, agnostic, or unbeliever who cannot come around to accepting the truth of mankind’s Eternity, then God has no use for you:  after your death.  This choice is entirely yours and was granted to you by your Creator, at your birth.  Your Creator clearly teaches that you have until your “eleventh hour” to make this decision:  and you shall receive the same wages as those who obeyed their Creator for their entire lives.  The bad news is that mankind’s “eleventh hour” is nigh upon us these days.  But then again, you could die in a car crash tomorrow.  All decisions in this world have been granted to you, solely by your Creator!

For any Sunday-keeping Christian who has a few underlying concerns about all of God’s Ten Commandments, if you cannot come around to accepting the REAL truths of our Eternity (as sent down by God, Himself), then God has no use for you:  after your death.  This choice is entirely yours and was granted to you by your Creator, at your birth.  Christ clearly teaches that you have until your “eleventh hour” to make this decision:  and you shall receive the same wages as those who obeyed Christ for their entire lives.  The bad news, still, is that mankind’s “eleventh hour” is nigh upon us these days.  But then again, you could die in a car crash tomorrow.  All decisions in this world have been granted to you, solely by your Christ!

This author DOES NOT apologize for digressing here because this might just be this author’s last letter.  This author has been writing especially to folks just like you for some 25 years now.  Those fabled “last days” are nigh upon us today, here in the year 2023.  You can keep ignoring Christ’s obvious signs upon this earth because He gave you this right. : In this, you will also have to witness this entire world (and especially our Western world!) going down that same proverbial “toilet” which Sodom and Gomorrah went down (and you will go down with them).

Or you can leave . . . just as Lot did.  Have you ever heard of Lot?  Well, if you have not, you might do well by picking up a Bible and start reading about Lot and his uncle, Abraham; and reading it as if your eternal life depended upon it.  You will find Lot in the first Book of Genesis, after opening that book.  You can read it for free on the internet if you care to.  Christ gave you this “right” also.

Now, this author’s last digression.

Adventists, this author would like to “repeat” a warning sent TO YOU from one of your founders, namely William Miller again.  (Funny, how William Miller’s words keep coming back to the various Adventist churches of today.  Funny?  Not really, because they are actually a prophecy from Christ, for the days that would follow William Miller!  Mankind always, and falsely, assumes that Christ’s prophecies, sent to them, are about other people:  because Christ would never get mad at His favorite people.  Really?)  Please continue:

In his dream, William Miller had to forcibly remove those who were soiling Christ’s Word and Truths, those who were rearranging Christ’s Word and Truths, and finally, those who were outright counterfeiting Christ’s Word and Truths.  We are talking about Christ’s Commandments, Laws, ordinances, Feasts, and many other Truths here.  (We are also describing the works of Satan gaining a foothold amongst today’s Adventist executives and some pastors here.)  But just for a moment, forget all of that.  William Miller had to force out those who he had invited in and were now committing evil deeds!  He had to physically force them out!  Remember that!  His dream is a message for you Adventists, here today.  YOU ARE CHRIST’S LAST BASTION IN THESE FINAL DAYS, JUST AS KING JOSIAH WAS IN HIS DAY.  Do not just remember that; LIVE William Miller’s prophecy because it was Christ’s Warning for all Adventists today.  (We are talking about voting them out; or legally changing the highest leader:  this author is a layman and does not know how organized denominations function.)  LIVE William Miller’s Dream no matter the personal cost!  You can either follow the ways of man (and mammon) or you can follow Christ:  and thereby keep Satan’s evils out of your lives.  Sometimes, following Christ requires efforts from us that might not be “appealing” to this world; and sometimes, following Christ might require a bit more than we think it does:

I then saw that among the genuine jewels and coin they had scattered an innumerable quantity of spurious jewels and counterfeit coin.  I was highly incensed at their base conduct and ingratitude, and reproved and reproached them for it; but the more I reproved, the more they scattered the spurious jewels and false coin among the genuine.  I then became vexed in my physical soul and began to use physical force to push them out of the room . . .

All Adventists!  You know that Miller’s words were sent to you from Christ Himself!  Christ is observing everything in this world and recording everything in His Book of Life, which shall be opened on Judgment Day.  It does not matter if you fail:  it only matters if you do not try.  (William Miller lost his fight in that dream, but he never stopped fighting!)  Christ only records your efforts and choices in His Book of Life:  He forgives your mistakes!  Christ has some very important Words for you here (and the entire world quite honestly) and Christ is watching to see what YOU do with HIS Words sent to you in William Miller’s Dream.

All Adventists!  Always remember that Christ told His Apostles to “feed His sheep.”  You are His sheep.  Ask your local pastors to spend more time on getting you to Heaven, via topics such as William Miller’s Dream, Satan’s evils in this world, and just every once in a while, Matthew 28:20; regarding our continually observing all things that Christ has commanded to this world.  You are most likely doing a fine job with that last one, but ask your local pastors to occasionally remind you of what Christ’s Word requires from you so that He might be compelled to place His whole armour of God upon you:  which you now understand is that very “hedge” which Christ placed around Job in verse 1:10.  (You are as valuable to Christ as Job was and you have the ability to receive everything that Job was given by Christ, by way of your chosen efforts in this world.)  Do not worry about your “relationship” with Christ, because you already know all about that!  From what this author observes, you fine folks are doing quite well with obeying Christ’s commands; and are enjoying the fruits of your labors and the blessings He has heaped upon you all:  but then there is that newfound “acceptance” of Satan’s evils by your religious leaders.  As stated here, this is new to you and your teachers have not prepared you for this event.  (You have not been taught very much about Satan’s evils always coming through our religious leaders.  Tell your pastors this!)  Remember Christ’s commands which have been sent down to this world.  Unlike the majority of this world, you already know them all, so just keep reminding yourselves to follow them.  In this author’s humble opinion, William Miller’s Dream contains a command, from Christ, to all Adventists and indeed, to all of mankind:  CAST OUT ALL EVILS FROM YOUR SIGHT!  Satan is always here so this will be a never-ending fight in our lives:  we must not relax because Satan never relaxes!  Thankfully, you folks only need “reminding” of that command; the remainder of Christianity has already failed; as in both the days of Noah, and also Sodom and Gomorrah.  William Miller failed in the midst of that dream only because he was overwhelmed by those who “unknowingly follow” Satan:  he was not prepared for this:  and was overwhelmed by thisSo learn from Christ’s Lessons here!  There is a lesson for you in William Miller’s not being prepared here, which you cannot dismiss.  (Are you prepared for your Adventist executives, meaning those with the keys, to fail Christ, and YOU?)  William Miller spent every ounce of effort, for God, that he possibly could, knowing what Christ expects from every person in this world!  (There is a lesson for you in William Miller’s efforts here, which you should not dismiss.)  And because of Miller’s wholehearted efforts, and not just his failure, Christ fixed everything (according to Christ’s schedule:  not Miller’s desired schedule.  This is important:  indeed, this is the story of Revelation.)  This author is not saying that you should kill, or even harm, anyone here.  No!  Never!

Just keep evil people out of your personal lives:  keep them out of your work (livelihood), keep them out of your churches (your place of rest), and especially, keep them out of your religious leadership positions (so that Satan cannot attack you in your resting place)!  Every religion that ever failed in this world, failed because their religious leaders first failed Christ, our Creator.  Furthermore, CAST OUT THOSE LEADERS WHO WELCOMED THESE EVILS INTO YOUR CHURCH, IN THE FIRST PLACE!  Because THEY no longer observe all commands that Christ has sent down to this world.  Therefore, please understand that THEY are no longer considered to be baptized by Christ, our Law Giver.  THEY have completely rejected their baptism!

A short funny story, which is not funny at all!

The vast majority of today’s Muslims are truly decent folks:  they really are!  (Not like you see in the Western press at all.)  But Satan has, for some time now, taken control of their leaders and has directed their leaders AWAY from the Truths of God which Christ placed in His Qur’an.  (Does this sound like the Christian world of today?)  This author has studied Christ’s Qur’an and it is truly a book of peace and forgiveness!  Quite honestly, this Christian author cannot count the number of times that Christ taught His Muslims the importance and value of forgiveness to them; and also the importance of forgiveness to Him.  But to the point being made here in this letter; it is easy for we Westerners to see the failures of THEIR LEADERS (partially because their leaders are prone to violence, Genesis 16:12) yet we Westerners cannot see OUR OWN FAILURES caused by OUR OWN CHRISTIAN LEADERS!  Why?  Because just like our Western Christian leaders, we Western Christians are prone to the pursuit of mammon, Matthew 6:24.  So these Christian leaders know how to “comfort” us in this matter.  Mammon is an odd word that means little to most Westerners of today.  To this author, that word means wealth and everything that comes with wealth:  money, power, sex, influence, pride, and oops, today it also includes “sophistication” rather than “humbleness;”(Matthew 5:5:  Christ’s Sermon on the Mount.)  Hence our evil “social distractions and sophisticated acceptances thereof” today:  all created by Satan.  And it was Christ’s Buddha who taught all of this to our world:  meaning I, I, I; me, me, me; and my, my, my!  Pure selfishness!

And Adventists, please understand that these “social distractions” are Satan’s primary (but not his only!) path of delivering his evils into your church.  More on this below.  Do not just look for those “Sunday Laws” that your teachers say are coming!  Satan is more cunning than we can imagine.  He can come at us from 6 directions!  East, West, North, South, Up, and Down!  The Buddha taught that actually.  Think about all of the ways you need to protect your lives and your beloved family.

Christ’s word for Christians here is mammon.”  It truly is a better word than this author could ever use, but the problem today, is that nobody understands what this word means!  For this reason only, this author uses the word “wealth” throughout this website:  especially concerning our webpages regarding the mark of the beast.  Christ’s word is far better, but many people today dismiss this word as “meaningless.”  Oh, but how this world does understand the pursuit of wealth, power, prestige, and all that comes with that:  thereby setting all of Christ’s commands aside in the process.  This, and this only, is what places the mark of the beast upon a person.  People today are taught that Satan shall place that mark upon us.  There is not one Scripture found anywhere in this world which states that Satan can decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell.  Yes, many shall receive this mark, but it is Christ who places this mark on people.  Christ teaches this in His Qur’an:  He also teaches how to observe this mark on people; it is actually quite easy.  All of this is very important to remember when considering that infamous “mark of the beast.”  (Question from this author:  “How can any Sunday keeping pastor explain the mark of the beast if they cannot even explain Christ’s Fourth Commandment?”  Think about that!)

Matthew 6:24  No man can serve two masters:  for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other.  Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

(Do we, today, despise God?  If you do, you shall be marked!)  To show just how simple all of this is . . . during our short life here, we are all to decide if we will follow those silly things that we find on this world, which Christ created; or decide if we shall follow those commands which Christ sent down to us.  This very decision is what gets some names written in God’s Book of Life; or quite sadly, what puts God’s mark on the others.  For God’s Book of Life simply records all of our deeds:  because our deeds truly reveal whether we follow Him or that mammon which He created!  Your life in this world truly is THAT SIMPLE!  Everything truly is THAT SIMPLE!  No, you say?  Christ clearly states this in Matthew:

Matthew 7:13  Enter ye in at the strait gate:  for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Matthew 7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

This Truth of God, placed in these few verses can only be understood if one keeps them simple!  On Judgment Day, there shall be one gate for those who followed the things of this world (mammon) and another gate for those who followed the commands of our Creator, thereby receiving the things of Heaven which await all who succeed (our future life).  The things of this world can lead one in a great many directions:  wealth, power, sex, fame, prestige, sophistication, social acceptance, and MANY MORE.  Oh, it is a wide path with many different roads to follow:  those who follow it shall be marked!  The things of Heaven are only found by way of those well-known and well-documented commands which our Creator has given to us.  It is a straight and narrow path that leads only to Him, and eternal life:  those who follow it shall be sealed!  His actual “name” matters not to mankind, because it was our Creator who babbled our languages.  Never forget that.  And to those who truly believe they can do BOTH, you have already failed Christ by rejecting the Wisdom He placed in Matthew 6:24, just above.  (For your Creator knows many things that you will never understand and you have also rejected this Knowledge which God possesses.)

 

CONCLUSION

 

In this author’s humble opinion, which is an unbiased and purely Scriptural based opinion, Satan has fully taken control of 99.9% of all Christian denominations, the vast majority of Muslims, and the vast majority of Jews.

 

**************************************************************************************
 

Unbiased?  From what this author can see throughout Christ’s Scriptures across this world, there will be just as many Muslims, Hindu, Buddhists, and indigenous folks entering Heaven as there will be Christians and Jews.  Remember, that our goal is to get our names written in Christ’s Book of Life:  it is not called His Book of Religion, nor His Book of Faith.  All other Scriptures, which were delivered elsewhere by Christ, our Creator, confirm this!  The REAL problem is that as this world currently exists, here in the year 2023, there will only be what Jesus described as a “few” who enter Heaven:

Matthew 7:14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The Qur’an 42:13  In matters of faith, God has laid down for you (meaning Muslims) the same commandment that He gave Noah, which we have revealed to you, and which We enjoined on Abraham and Moses and Jesus:  “Uphold the faith and do not divide into factions within it.”

The Qur’an 42:14  Christians divided, out of rivalry, only after knowledge had come to them, and, if it had not been for a decree already passed by your LORD to reprieve them until an appointed time, they would already have been judged.  Those Christians after them, who inherited the Scripture, are in disquieting doubt about it.

(Please read that last sentence again, because every Christian reading this letter is one who “inherited the Scripture.”  This author would estimate that about 99.9% of all Christians are, or should be, in “disquieting doubt” about many Scriptures they read in Christ’s Bible.  William Miller was!  Never forget that William Miller was NOT an Adventist:  William Miller was a Baptist minister who found the Light of Christ!  And he found that Light only by way of our LORD’s Scriptures!)

NOTE BY jpw:  The ONLY reason these words of the Qur’an, above, are not in red letters is because it was the angel Gabriel who spoke them to Muhammad:  but that does not make Christ’s Words, quoted here, any less valid!  (This author trusts the words of Gabriel more than any person who has ever walked this earth.)  Every Christian should understand that these words were sent down from Heaven around the year 500 AD.  At that time, the Christian faith had already horribly departed from Christ’s Commandments, Laws, ordinances, and all Feasts:  Sunday worship, baptizing infants, graven images in the places of worship, unclean meats, not keeping EVIL out of their sight, and much more.  Christians!  After reading verse 42:14 above, do you still believe that your Book of Revelation is not a prophecy regarding mostly YOU?

Christians!  After reading verse 42:14 above, do you now think that William Miller’s Dream and the words of Ellen G White were not sent from our Creator, Christ, giving all of us, HERE TODAY, our “last chance” before Judgment Day?  Please consider, just one more time, the story of king Josiah of long ago.  Christ punished the Jews quite harshly after THEY failed in king Josiah’s attempt to bring them back into Christ’s Fold of John 10:16.  Remember that when you read William Miller’s Dream placed near the end of this letter:  it is a short read.

The Buddha, circa 500 BC:  It is not good for a wise man, who is the protector of Life’s Truth to proclaim, “This doctrine, only, is the Truth; and all others are wrong.”

Still not convinced?  Let us return to the Muslim Scriptures just once more.  Again, these are Christ’s Words!

The Qur’an 10:47  For every people, there is a messenger (of God) and after their message comes, then on the Day of Judgment, they will be judged fairly and they will not be wronged (by God).

Since it was Christ, who created this world, one can safely substitute that word, “God” for Christ:  Revelation teaches, quite clearly, that only the lamb can unseal the Books in Heaven.

 

**************************************************************************************

 

Now that this author has demonstrated his efforts at being unbiased, let us return to our CONCLUSION.

It appears as though Satan is now working on “beating down” that last bastion of mankind who still follows our LORD, by way of their failing to observe His Commands (Matthew 28:20).  All Scriptures teach that Satan shall win this fight, but it does not have to be that way!  Not regarding each individual person, anyway:  reference Malachi 3:16 and the Book of Ruth in your Bible.  If Satan beats down your religious leaders, this does not mean you have to abandon Christ’s Ways.  Our last few churches are still fighting Satan:  this author can readily see that.  But this author also understands Revelation 14, regarding Christ’s elect:

Revelation 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.  These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.  These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

Again . . . that term “women” always refers to Christ’s churches, whether they have turned from Him, or not.  Since they are “women,” this can only mean that it includes ALL CHURCHES.  Many people will not like those words, but they come from the Word of God (meaning Christ).

SIDE NOTE by jpw:

Please understand that Revelation 14:4 does not mean that Christ’s elect never went to church, nor do not belong to any church, currently!  It does not say that:  read those words carefully.  It says that Christ’s elect have never been defiled by any church.  But yes, regarding those folks who gleefully ignore half of Christ’s Ten Commandments (including Sunday worship, graven images, taking the LORD’s name in vain by teaching that all others are going to hell, allowing adulterers into their churches:  thereby not keeping “all evils” away from their churches) and then also ignore all of Christ’s other Laws and commands:  YES, these folks have been defiled by their churches!  About 99.9% of all Christians have been defiled in this way, today.

Satan now has his foot in some Adventist churches; and these Adventists currently have a fight on their hands.  This author feels as though when Satan has finally won in those churches; by way of their religious leaders’ weaknesses (and Satan is not that far from winning that fight), then some folks in these churches will have to resort to Christ’s Truths found in Malachi 3:15 – 17.  And Malachi 3:18 should make every Christian’s blood run cold through their veins!  Why?  Because that day is nearly here, as evidenced by the impending failure of today’s last bastion of the Christian faith.  (In this author’s humble opinion, of course.)  TRUTH IS TRUTH!  Our feelings and desires have no say-so in this Design of Christ, here on this world.

Malachi 3:18 is Christ’s Father’s command that sends Christ back to this earth to judge mankind.  Please understand that Christ’s Father, our LORD, is not quoted very often in Scripture:

Malachi 3:18  Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

That word “ye” is Christ . . . receiving instructions from His Father (our LORD!) to return to this earth.  (Revelation 14:14 – 16, which every Christian should understand!)  Do you remember when Christ stated that even He does not know the hour of His return?  (Matthew 24:36)  This author apologizes for digressing, yet again.

Satan does not need to spend any further efforts on those 99.9% of Christian churches which he now controls, via his “false image of God” which he props-up in those churches every Sunday:  as they kneel and pray with his “false graven images of God” surrounding them.  No, his work with those Christian churches is finished, because they now completely fail Christ’s First, Second, Third, and Fourth Commandments:  as documented above.  Again, by their worshiping Satan’s “false description” of Jesus and/or Christ, they are worshiping that infamous “false god” that Christ taught about throughout His entire Older Testament!  They truly are:  And it is called His First Commandment!  And perhaps His most important Commandment!  Oh, the names and descriptions of mankind’s false gods have always changed throughout the years, but it has always been Satan (and only Satan!) who was behind those false gods.  Satan, long ago, conquered those Christian churches (those HARLOTS of Revelation 17:5) and he is currently spending most of his time on that “last bastion” of Christ’s true believers:  and Satan is doing so at an accelerated pace(Muslims and Jews, you have also failed, but this author has not addressed your failures here in this letter.  These words have long been found elsewhere upon this website.)

Will Christ’s last bastion fail, here on earth?  This author prays for them continually, but this author also understands the Word of God regarding these fine folks.  Hence, this author’s continually reminding all true believers, of any denomination, about Christ’s “final reserve” found in Malachi 3:16:  (Verse 15 describes the world we currently live in, here in the year 2023, so we shall include it here.)

Malachi 3:15  And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.

Malachi 3:16  Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another:  and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

ADVENTISTS (AND NOT JUST TODAY’S SDA CHURCH!):  this author has a nagging hunch that Malachi 3 was written for you, in these days, because nobody else seems to qualify!  This author has a nagging hunch that the folks in Malachi 3:16 will no longer have a church, in which to congregate, someday soon.  This author has a nagging hunch that your western governments, and societies, shall soon overwhelm your religious leaders:  both legally and socially!  Could this author be wrong here?  Absolutely.  “But I don’t think so.”  Scripture is Scripture and Truth is Truth!

Christ has two very special Scriptures for other Christians who are still unsure.  He understands being both unsure and thirsty.  Please continue and learn just why Jesus wept:

Revelation 22:17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.  And let him that heareth say, Come.  And let him that is athirst come.  And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

While he was living here as a mere man, Christ’s own “unsureness” was significantly helped by His Father (our LORD) when Jesus stood at the tomb of Lazarus:  where we find the shortest verse in the Bible; “Jesus wept.”  Few Christians are taught that Jesus stood at that tomb of Lazarus just days before his own Passover death was about to occur (less than a week, actually).  Christ absolutely understood that it must happen (Psalm 22:25), but that earthly man, Jesus, was finally having to face this event, now that it was imminent:  JUST LIKE US!  As he demonstrated the night before his death (when Jesus prayed to His Father with a bit of uncertainty) Jesus had these same thoughts those few days before his great Passover crucifixion.  That miracle of Lazarus being brought back to life was one of Christ’s Father’s greatest lessons for all Christians.  (Please do understand that while Christ did create this world, it is Christ’s Father, our LORD, who sits on the Throne in the Kingdom of Heaven!)  Also understand, that it was not Christ who brought Lazarus back to life!  His Father, our LORD, actually did this for Jesus!  Christ (our Creator!) had previously laid down all of His Heavenly authorities when He assumed that little earthly body of Jesus.  For Jesus’ life to be a fair and true example for all of this world, he had to have “no Godly powers” here on earth!  That would be cheating and God never cheats.  (It is also extremely important to note that our “precious little Jesus” truly lived his life keeping every single Command which He had previously sent down as Christ, our Creator!  Also, our “precious little Jesus” had to pray to His LORD, just as we must.  This should be significant to all Christians today!)

No!  It was Christ’s Father who brought Lazarus back to life.  Our Creator, Christ, was now a mere mortal using that earthly body of Jesus; demonstrating to this entire world, “See, it can be done and I am doing it.”  At the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus was also a recipient of that incredible miracle whereby His Father, our LORD, was reminding Jesus, as his death was nearly upon him, words to the effect of:  “Jesus, I am here; I am with you; I have everything under control.”  This is why Jesus wept.  Few Christians also understand that Jesus spent his last few remaining days living in the home of that very Lazarus.  Later, after leaving the tomb, He also spent his last few earthly days in the home of Lazarus.  Indeed, Jesus’ ascension to Heaven most likely took place from Lazarus’ yard!  (Luke 24:50 – 51.  Lazarus lived in Bethany.)

For you see, it was Lazarus who was that disciple which Jesus loved the most.  Jesus had only twelve Apostles, but there were many disciples who also followed Him.  This story of Lazarus is only the tip of that proverbial iceberg and goes far beyond the scope of this letter:  for you see, that Lazarus who our LORD resurrected was actually that same Lazarus from the “so called” parable of Lazarus and the rich man.  Study the time frame of your Scriptures.  Jesus taught that very lesson of the beggar Lazarus being in Heaven, just days before he returned to the tomb of Lazarus, calling for Lazarus to come forth.  This author apologizes for digressing again.

For those who are still athirst . . . Christ also taught about this in His parable of the mustard seed:

Matthew 17:20  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief:  for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Just be thirsty?

A mere grain of mustard seed for your faith?

A mustard seed is about one-sixteenth of an inch across:  only visible if one is paying close attention.  Yet it grows to be a great plant, about three feet tall.  Should you ever decide that you are thirsty for your True God and Creator (and not just that “confusing and always symbolic” god that you keep hearing about every Sunday), Christ, your True Creator, instantly gives you knowledge that He accepts that mustard seed of faith which you have just found in His Word, meaning Scriptures.  Not only this, but He rejoices in that little mustard seed which He sees GROWING in you!  (He just wants to see that you are trying and that you never stop trying!  Christ fully understands the principle of “each to their own ability!”  Simple.)  How much does He rejoice?  Well, read Matthew 17:20, just above, once again.  He can see that your decisions are now beginning to be based upon your desire to somehow follow His Truths which He has placed in His Scriptures.  Will you stumble here and there as you learn His Truths?  Of course.  This author hopes you do better than he did, so just get back up and find that thirst again.  Just be thirsty and keep filling that thirst with the Word of God.  Do not fill it by way of a church!  That Word of God, which you seek, is found only in a Bible, in your own home, and it fills your thirst whenever you pick it up for a little while.  This author is not just throwing those words out there empty-handed:  this old author is speaking from experience regarding what God’s Truths can do for your personal life!  But it does not come overnight, as mankind is accustomed to here in these last days.  Christ is a lifetime commitment:  one cannot learn one webpage here, or read one book there, and consider the task “completed!”  If you do ever decide to join a church which follows all of Christ’s commands (meaning ALL of His Ten Commandments), then please understand that they can only “help” you get to Heaven someday.  Many of them believe they can fill your thirst, but they cannot.  (And this, exactly, is what is wrong with Christianity today.)  Those few good teachers understand that they can only direct you to God’s Fountain, meaning His Scriptures.  But yes!  They can definitely help you, if THEY TOO desire following all of Christ’s commands, per Matthew 28:20.  (Quite honestly, one of Christ’s commands to THEM is that they send you only to His Scriptures:  and not just follow their personal vanities, beliefs, and false doctrines, such as SUNDAY WORSHIP!)  Regardless of any help, you are required to carry-your-own-weight in this matter:  because this is your life and you need to determine your own destiny by way of your decisions here!  As stated above, a great many Christians are falsely taught that they are “destined” for Heaven:  this is a lie from Satan!  God’s Truth is that you are “destined” to stand before Him on Judgment Day:  He will handle everything after that.  You are required to learn Christ’s Scriptures so that you can then follow Christ’s commands.  Church is only a great help.  No church can ever get you to heaven “despite yourself,” and if you find a church that teaches this, then run away as fast as you can!

This author cannot prove the following by way of Scripture, so this truly could be one vanity (of this author) which is placed in this letter, and please understand that it is placed here intentionally.  (I normally try to have all of my personal vanities removed from these letters by the second or third proof-read.)

This author has an incredibly strong “gut feeling” that the Adventist churches of today are today’s king Josiah.  (Again, this author cannot prove this by way of any Scripture.)  Why?  Because they are Christ’s last bastion which He purposefully created back around the year 1844.  William Miller did not create the Adventist movement, Christ did!  Similarly, Adventists did NOT create the Adventist movement of returning to Christ’s commands.  A hodge podge scattered assortment of other denominational believers were enlightened by Christ:  William Miller was a Baptist, Ellen G. White was a Methodist, and Joseph Bates had no religious affiliation at all!  All of this was designed by Christ.  (Similar to king Josiah’s story at the beginning of this letter.)  Another reason for this author’s strong gut feeling is that when Satan has taken ownership of this last bastion, then Revelation 14:4 will have been fulfilled, and this author sees nothing in Scripture to hold Christ’s Father back from beginning that infamous Time of Jacob’s Trouble:

Revelation 14:4  These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins.  These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth.  These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

My dearest friends . . . meaning all Adventists who are struggling with social evils these days, meaning all Christians who feel confused every Sunday (according to Christ’s Fourth Commandment), meaning all Muslims who seek to obey their Prophet Muhammad who instructed them to learn Allah’s prior Scriptures sent to the “children of the Book” (but their own governments make it a crime to possess Allah’s prior Bible), and finally, meaning all Jews who sometimes wonder if their ancient religious leaders might have caused them to “miss something” that our Eternal Creator might have sent down after their own Scriptures were delivered to them:

We have a webpage here titled “Satan’s Achilles Heel.”  On that page, we show that Satan cannot work in this world when the Light of God’s Scriptures is shining upon him.  (Adventists, this old author has determined that there is only ONE WAY that Satan can possibly defeat your movement; in that Satan will “somehow” cause you to cease shining the Light of God’s Scriptures upon him, and his established ways upon this entire earth!)  Christ, our Creator, is that Light of John 1:9.  The worst thing that can happen, in these last days, is for good men to sit around and do nothing.  Oh, but it gets worse.  John Wesley once said, “What one generation tolerates, the next will embrace.”  Well, now we find that our children involved in this mess that we have lazily permitted to happen!  John Wesley understood all of this more than 200 years ago!  (It is almost funny:  how mankind never changes.  We have all of this science and technology today, yet we continue to make the same mistakes that were made thousands of years ago:  having learned nothing from our past.)

Well lately, this author is not so sure that we, today, will ever see Wesley’s “next generation,” after considering the story of king Josiah.  Today’s Adventist movement is very slowly, but STEADILY abandoning their baptism.  This would be that “other” baptism where we are required to observe that Light which Christ placed upon this world, long ago.  Oops, sorry, that bolded Word should have been Scriptures.  They are the same thing!  When one abandons God’s Scriptures and commands, one abandons Christ’s incredible gift of Baptism.  You have seen this incredible gift detailed (by Satan himself!) in Job 1:10.  Paul described how we might receive this incredible gift in Ephesians 5.  Oh, you might have gotten wet once, in the past, but after drying off, it is entirely possible (and quite easy) to abandon Christ’s Commandments and Laws; if you listen to any Sunday-keeping, sabbath rejecting, Christian leader of today:  meaning, well, just about all of them.

SIDE NOTE by jpw:  Always remember Christ’s Fourth Commandment.  Oh, it goes on and on for a bit, but it really is just three words long:  REMEMBER THE SABBATH.  Yes, that is quite important, but just for now, consider something more important regarding these last days.  Every Sunday-keeping Christian leader of today is teaching you to IGNORE THE SABBATH; and is doing so week, after week, after week!  So not only are you failing your Christ, you are rejecting Him entirely!  And just who desires you to reject Christ’s Command here?  Satan!  Every week is another rejection:  recorded in Christ’s Book of Life, which is kept in Heaven.  Christians, here is a simpler way of understanding all of this a little better:  every Saturday, you are failing your Christ; and every Sunday, you are rejecting your Christ.

Always remember that TRUTH IS TRUTH.  Sometimes God’s Truth rubs you the wrong way.  Sometimes God’s Truth outright offends you!  Sometimes God’s Truth stands directly opposed to those beloved traditions taught by your parents, grandparents, and even your beloved religious leaders!  Whenever this happens, always fall back upon Christ’s Main Truth of this world:  CHRIST CREATED YOU, AND HE DID SO FOR A REASON!  You might not understand that reason, but Christ does.  And that is the end of all truths in this world.  The rest is up to you now that you have been born into HIS WORLD.

You cannot take your next breath without Christ’s Permission!

This author also has an ever-increasing hunch that Christ’s Father has determined this world to be ripe, as described in Revelation 14:15 and Malachi 3:18, and will send Christ back to this world before we have a next generation.  There are only a scant few prophecies, in Revelation, which have not yet been fulfilled.  Regarding 99.9% of today’s Christian churches who have utterly failed Christ’s commands:

Revelation 18:23   And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:  for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

(Merchants of mammon, including social evils today?  Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, our Western Press, et al.  Sorceries?  All of this world’s great merchants direct us AWAY from Christ’s commands placed upon this world:  they direct us only towards Christ’s word regarding mammon!  “Buy our goods because they will make you happy:  and support our advertisers because they will also make you happy.”  SORCERIES!  These are all sorceries!)

Oh, how this author has long written that the “beast of Revelation” is our pursuit of wealth:  Jesus called it mammon.  (Again, mammon is actually a better term because it includes power, sex, status, and yes, wealth.)  Our merchants, schools, government, and press have completely rejected God’s Righteousness through their embracing Satan’s evils.  And now, Christ’s final pillar is, perhaps, about to collapse:  meaning our religious leaders, who were commanded to be the guardians of God’s Light and the guardians of God’s Righteousness.  This is why this pathetic author believes there might not be a “next generation.”

This author would like to close with the words, “God help us all,” but Revelation clearly teaches, “That is not going to happen.”  So this author shall close with just three words:

 

TRUTH IS TRUTH

WILLIAM MILLER’S DREAM

I dreamed that God, by an unseen hand, sent me a curiously wrought casket about ten inches long by six square, made of ebony and pearls curiously inlaid.  To the casket there was a key attached.  I immediately took the key and opened the casket, when, to my wonder and surprise, I found it filled with all sorts and sizes of jewels, diamonds, precious stones, and gold and silver coin of every dimension and value, beautifully arranged in their several places in the casket; and thus arranged they reflected a light and glory equaled only to the sun.

I thought it was not my duty to enjoy this wonderful sight alone, although my heart was overjoyed at the brilliancy, beauty, and value of its contents.  I therefore placed it on a center table in my room and gave out word that all who had a desire might come and see the most glorious and brilliant sight ever seen by man in this life.  The people began to come in, at first few in number, but increasing to a crowd.  When they first looked into the casket, they would wonder and shout for joy.

But when the spectators increased, everyone would begin to trouble the jewels, taking them out of the casket and scattering them on the table.  I began to think that the owner would require the casket and the jewels again at my hand; and if I suffered them to be scattered, I could never place them in their places in the casket again as before; and felt I should never be able to meet the accountability, for it would be immense.  I then began to plead with the people not to handle them, nor to take them out of the casket; but the more I pleaded, the more they scattered; and now they seemed to scatter them all over the room, on the floor and on every piece of furniture in the room.  I then saw that among the genuine jewels and coin they had scattered an innumerable quantity of spurious jewels and counterfeit coin.  I was highly incensed at their base conduct and ingratitude, and reproved and reproached them for it; but the more I reproved, the more they scattered the spurious jewels and false coin among the genuine.  I then became vexed in my physical soul and began to use physical force to push them out of the room; but while I was pushing out one, three more would enter and bring in dirt and shavings and sand and all manner of rubbish, until they covered every one of the true jewels, diamonds, and coins, which were all excluded from sight.  They also tore in pieces my casket and scattered it among the rubbish.  I thought no man regarded my sorrow or my anger.  I became wholly discouraged and disheartened, and sat down and wept.

While I was thus weeping and mourning for my great loss and accountability, I remembered God, and earnestly prayed that He would send me help.  Immediately the door opened, and a man entered the room, when the people all left it; and He, having a dirt brush in His hand, opened the windows, and began to brush the dirt and rubbish from the room.  I cried to Him to forbear, for there were some precious jewels scattered among the rubbish.  He told me to “fear not,” for He would “take care of them.”  Then, while He brushed the dirt and rubbish, false jewels and counterfeit coin, all rose and went out of the window like a cloud, and the wind carried them away.

In the bustle I closed my eyes for a moment; when I opened them, the rubbish was all gone.  The precious jewels, the diamonds, the gold and silver coins, lay scattered in profusion all over the room.  He then placed on the table a casket, much larger and more beautiful than the former, and gathered up the jewels, the diamonds, the coins, by the handful, and cast them into the casket, till not one was left, although some of the diamonds were not bigger than the point of a pin.

He then called upon me to “come and see.”  I looked into the casket, but my eyes were dazzled with the sight.  They shone with ten times their former glory.  I thought they had been scoured in the sand by the feet of those wicked persons who had scattered and trod them in the dust.  They were arranged in beautiful order in the casket, every one in its place, without any visible pains of the man who cast them in.  I shouted with very joy, and that shout awoke me.

Postscript:  this author must apologize if this letter seems to be unorganized or “rambling” in nature.  This was a most difficult letter which this author never expected to be compelled to write.  Actually, this author did expect to one day write this letter about twenty-years ago, but this author buried those thoughts in hopes of ignoring many Truths of Christ, found in Scripture:  this author is human.  To make matters worse; throughout this letter, this author was not entirely sure of just who he was writing to.  At the beginning of this letter, this author was addressing all Adventists, of all denominations.  But then, feelings toward those poor lost souls whose Christian leaders have directed towards Satan’s evil ways began to creep into this author’s heart.  Then too, this author’s feelings toward those atheists and agnostics (this author’s favorite people because this author used to be one of them, after leaving his parents’ Catholic church, the day he left his parents’ home) came into this author’s heart:  and did so at every corner this author took within this letter.  Indeed, this author was also trying to address many Christian teachers who might need some “reminding” of those commands that Christ has sent down to this world, but which they have forgotten or ignored.  Every Christian leader, today, has been given the free will (and the ability!) to do exactly what William Miller did back in the 1800’s.

This author’s friends have forever gotten mad at this author for being an eternal optimist.  (“I just can’t give up on anyone, honestly, if there is a breath of hope left in this world!”)  There are many days when this author believes that his friends might just be right.  After many rewrites, this author is still unsure of just who he is writing to, here in this letter.

So this author can only offer his apology for any “lack of clarity” that might be found here.  With this crazy world we currently live in (2023), this author cannot write to just one sort of person, while ignoring any of the others that he cares about so much.  Twenty years ago, this was a much simpler problem because the end was not so imminent.

SIDE NOTE by jpw:

As stated above, this old author has been afraid to write this letter for many years now.  Well, one old-timey Adventist pastor unknowingly gave this author a glimmer of God’s Light by recently teaching that TRUTH IS TRUTH!  (It does not matter if we approve of God’s Truths nor not.)  Christ has spent the last three years of this author’s life (and about 6 or 7 webpages of writing here) teaching this author just how He wants His sheep fed.  Christ showed this author many bad pastors attempting to alter, soil, and counterfeit God’s Food.  And Christ showed this author just a scant few good pastors who do not alter, symbolize, nor spiritualize His Food.  Christ merely wants His Food “tossed” over that proverbial fence with that proverbial pitchfork.  Then Christ, and Christ only, shall see how each of His sheep digest His Food in their own way and especially in their own time:  some eat quickly and some take more time.  Some eat a lot and some eat little.  This is exactly what Christ desires to observe within every one of us!  He understands all of our individual abilities, even if we do not.

Each to their own abilities; and each in their own time.  For no two people are the same.  Pastors!  Do not speak poorly of those who do not show up for your services regularly.  This only means that they are not ready yet:  and you cannot make them ready.  Christ does not want you to make them ready!  He only wants you to keep tossing His Food over that proverbial fence when they do come.  This allows Christ to observe their acceptance of His Food:  not your food!  If they choose to earnestly follow Christ’s Food, then they will return eagerly, of their own accord.  Patience and faith is a Gift from Christ which carries great rewards both here on this earth and in Heaven.  So have patience and faith in Christ’s Perfect Word, that when delivered “unadulterated,” Christ’s Word shall bring His sheep to salvation.  Christ really is this simple.

TRUTH IS TRUTH

To all SDA church members, this author reads the news and can see that your leaders are attempting to address at least one of the problems mentioned in this letter.  And that is good.  But understand this!  Satan is no longer spending much effort on the 99.9% of those churches that he long ago convinced to depart from all of Christ’s commands (Matthew 28:20):  they are now in “maintenance mode.”  Satan is concentrating his efforts on today’s entire Adventist movement, because you are all that is left!  This author is not an Adventist but can see this clearly.  (Christ, long ago, taught this author about this Christian collapse coming; but Christ only recently put your movement into the sight of this author:  showing this author how Christ desires His sheep to be fed.)  Years ago, this author had no clue of how Satan might penetrate a church that was still observing most of Christ’s commands, but now this author can see a bit more clearly.  Social Evils:  meaning that “me, me, me” and “I, I, I” which the Buddha taught would destroy societies back around 500 BC.  Always remember that famous statue of Nebuchadnezzar.  That “dream” which Christ sent down was never about the greatness of those societies!  That “dream” was about the ever-repeating failures of each of those societies (and mankind):  hence that great stone coming soon to destroy everything.  They all failed because they chose mammon, rather than God; they thought they could have both, but they were all wrong.  And we, today, are failing similarly (because of mammon!); and that great stone of Daniel shall soon strike.  But beyond our social evils, also never take your eye off William Miller’s Dream because your pastors are ever increasing their soiling and counterfeiting of Christ’s Jewels which were given to you:  this world’s “last bastion.”  William Miller’s Dream describes your pastors, not your executives!  This is significant.

Adventists, you are in this fight now, whether you like it or not:  a two-front attack by Satan!  You cannot merely rest upon your Sabbath laurels:  you must start fighting Satan’s evils, as Christ so commanded.  Do not tolerate any evils in your churches, nor especially in your lives, because your children will pay the price.  Remember John Wesley’s words:  “What one generation tolerates today; the next will embrace.”  In this fight, which is coming your way soon, you will not only be fighting for your own eternal lives, but those of your children also!

There is an old expression that mankind has learned throughout its history:  “Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!”  When one compares those words of mankind to the Biblical events which are about to transpire, those words fall EXCEEDINGLY SHORT of what is about to take place upon this earth!  A lot of people talk about reading Scripture and learning Scripture.  This author truly feels as if you Adventists, today, are now LIVING IN SCRIPTURE!  Could this author be wrong?  Yes, ”but I don’t think so.”

And again, violence is not acceptable to Christ.  For when you break the laws of your society, you have already fallen to Satan and you are following your own selfishness which Satan has taught to you.  Guard your church, guard your lives, and guard your children:  for all Scriptures teach that the last days shall not go well for the children.

All Christians . . . understand Christ now!

Luke 6:46  And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

Luke 6:47  Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:

(AND DOETH THEM!!!)

So . . . Christians?

My dearest Christian friends, you do not want to read the two verses which follow Luke 6:47 above, because you will cry!  For the next verse teaches of those joys which you shall find in this world, by following the Word of God, meaning Christ!  But that last verse of Luke 6 teaches of the “ruin” that ALL main-stream Christians might find, on Christ’s Judgment Day, if they continue to follow the teachings of today’s main-stream (and Sunday-keeping) Christian leaders!  (About 99.9% of them.)

Funny . . . how that term of Satan’s “main-stream” is actually mentioned in that last verse of Luke 6!
