A look at Current Events in Light of Bible Prophecy

1. HOW NEAR IS NEAR!!!???!!!!
SUNDAY-LAW BIRTH PAINS, CLOSE OF PROBATION AND
THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST
•
•
THE LAST ACT IN THE
DRAMA

4. HOW NEAR
IS NEAR?
REV 13:3

5.  Never did this message apply with greater force than it
applies today. More and more the world is setting at nought
the claims of God. Men have become bold in transgression.
The wickedness of the inhabitants of the world has almost
filled up the measure of their iniquity. This earth has almost
reached the place where God will permit the destroyer to
work his will upon it. THE SUBSTITUTION OF THE LAWS
OF MEN FOR THE LAW OF GOD, THE EXALTATION,
BY MERELY HUMAN AUTHORITY, OF SUNDAY IN
PLACE OF THE BIBLE SABBATH, IS THE LAST ACT IN
THE DRAMA. {7T 141.1}

6. • FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY FULL UPDATE:
• 1. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE JESUIT POPE
• 2. THE COLLAPSE OF PROTESTANTISM AND MERGER
OF EVANGELICALS AND CATHOLICITY ON 29TH
FEBRUARY 2014 IN LIGHT OF REV 13:3 AND REV 16:13.
The Ten Million Dollar Question HOW
NEAR IS NEAR can only be answered by
another question: HAVE YOU GIVEN YOU
LIFE TO CHRIST TO WITHSTAND THE
STORM THAT IS ABOUT TO BREAK?

7. • 1. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE JESUIT POPE
The appointment of the Jesuit Pope should have led us
immediately to the words of the messenger. What does
she say?
“Throughout Christendom, Protestantism was menaced
by formidable foes. The first triumphs of the
Reformation past, Rome summoned new forces, hoping
to accomplish its destruction. At this time the order of
the Jesuits was created, the most cruel, unscrupulous,
and powerful of all the champions of popery. Cut off
from earthly ties and human interests, dead to the
claims of natural affection, reason and conscience
wholly silenced, they knew no rule, no tie, but that of
their order, and no duty but to extend its power…………..

8. …..The gospel of Christ had enabled its adherents to
meet danger and endure suffering, undismayed by
cold, hunger, toil, and poverty, to uphold the
banner of truth in face of the rack, the dungeon, and
the stake. To combat these forces, Jesuitism inspired
its followers with a fanaticism that enabled them to
endure like dangers, and to oppose to the power of
truth all the weapons of deception. There was no
crime too great for them to commit, no deception
too base for them to practice, no disguise too
difficult for them to assume. Vowed to perpetual
poverty and humility, it was their studied aim to
secure wealth and power, to be devoted to the
overthrow of Protestantism, and the re-establishment
of the papal supremacy. {GC 234.2}”

9. • HOW DID THEY DEVOTE TO THE OVERTHROW OF PROTESTANTISM, AND
THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PAPAL SUPREMACY?
•
“When appearing as members of their order, they wore
a garb of sanctity, visiting prisons and hospitals,
ministering to the sick and the poor, professing to
have renounced the world, and bearing the sacred
name of Jesus, who went about doing good. But under
this blameless exterior the most criminal and deadly
purposes were often concealed. It was a fundamental
principle of the order that the end justifies the means.
By this code, lying, theft, perjury, assassination, were
not only pardonable but commendable, when they
served the interests of the church. Under various
disguises the Jesuits worked their way into offices of
state, climbing up to be the counselors of kings, and
shaping the policy of nations. They became servants
to act as spies upon their masters.

10. …They established colleges for the sons of
princes and nobles, and schools for the
common people; and the children of
Protestant parents were drawn into an
observance of popish rites. All the outward
pomp and display of the Romish worship
was brought to bear to confuse the mind and
dazzle and captivate the imagination, and
thus the liberty for which the fathers had
toiled and bled was betrayed by the sons.
The Jesuits rapidly spread themselves over
Europe, and wherever they went, there
followed a revival of popery. {GC 235.1}”

11. In the normal circumstances, it is the Pope who is
kissed his feet when visited but the tables are turned to
prepare the world for something so deceitful

12. WHAT WAS THE RESPONSE OF THE
PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAW WHAT THE
POPE DID??????!!!!!!
•
•Sher, JAX FL - USA, United States: “What
an amazing sight. I wonder how long
this man of the people is going to
last. Pope John Paul I bucked the
system and lasted for 33 days in
1978.”

13. Mags, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom: “Yes, Jesus
washed the feet of His disciples(followers) not unrepentant
criminals. Aside from that, I notice he's happy enough to
cart about the gold and silver crosses, goblets and censer. So
much for doing away with all things lavish.”
 NR, Wigan: “Although it is a beautiful gesture, the though
of kissing someone's foot makes me go queasy. But long live
pope Francis, I think they made a good choice.”
 VRWC, San Diego: “It will be lovely if this one man can
bring change to his church and the world. Living what you
preach, what a nice idea.”

14. WHAT DID THE POPE PROMISE THEM IN
RETURN????
Responding to the question, “Do we need to
rediscover the meaning of leisure?” Pope Francis
replies: “Together with a culture of work, there
must be a culture of leisure as gratification. To put
it another way: people who work must take the
time to relax, to be with their families, to enjoy
themselves, read, listen to music, play a sport. But
this is being destroyed, in large part, by the
elimination of the SABBATH REST DAY. More and
more people work on SUNDAYS as a consequence
of the competitiveness imposed by a consumer
society.” In such cases, he concludes, “work ends
up dehumanizing people.”

15. NOTICE THE REST DAY HE IS REFERRING TO IS
SUNDAY AND NOT SABBATH:
Rev 13:1-4
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise
up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and
upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name
of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a
leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his
mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him
his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one
of his heads as it were wounded to death; AND HIS
DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED: AND ALL THE
WORLD WONDERED AFTER THE BEAST. AND THEY
WORSHIPPED THE DRAGON WHICH GAVE POWER
UNTO THE BEAST: AND THEY WORSHIPPED THE
BEAST, SAYING, WHO IS LIKE UNTO THE BEAST?
WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE WAR WITH HIM?

16. • Not One in Twenty Prepared
It is a solemn statement that I make to the church, that NOT
ONE IN TWENTY WHOSE NAMES ARE REGISTERED
UPON THE CHURCH BOOKS ARE PREPARED TO
CLOSE THEIR EARTHLY HISTORY, and would be as
verily without God and without hope in the world as the
common sinner. They are professedly serving God, but they
are more earnestly serving mammon. This half-and-half
work is a constant denying of Christ, rather than a
confessing of Christ. So many have brought into the church
their own unsubdued spirit, unrefined; their spiritual taste is
perverted by their own immoral, debasing corruptions,
symbolizing the world in spirit, in heart, in purpose,
confirming themselves in lustful practices, and are full of
deception through and through in their professed Christian
life. Living as sinners, claiming to be Christians! Those who
claim to be Christians and will confess Christ should come
out from among them and touch not the unclean thing, and
be separate. . . . {ChS 41.1}

17. I lay down my pen and lift up my soul in
prayer, that the Lord would breathe upon
His backslidden people, who are as dry
bones, that they may live. The end is near,
stealing upon us so stealthily, so
imperceptibly, so noiselessly, like the
muffled tread of the thief in the night, to
surprise the sleepers off guard and unready.
May the Lord grant to bring His Holy Spirit
upon hearts that are now at ease, that they
may no longer sleep as do others, but watch
and be sober.--General Conference
Bulletin, 1893, pp. 132, 133.

18. "Luther's Protest is over!" ~
Bishop Tony Palmer. Following
the recent video sent to
evangelicals and protestants by
Pope through the Ecumenical
leader Bishop Tony Palmer
asserting that the Protest is
over, we analyze what this
means to us as Seventh Day
Adventists. How far are we from
the Great Time of Tribulation!

25. Published on Apr 7, 2014
Breaking News: "Auburn Christian groups hold ecumenical
Lenten services“
Six churches -- St. Teresa of Avila, Auburn Presbyterian, Auburn
Seventh-day Adventist (California), Bethlehem Lutheran, First
Congregational and Pioneer United Methodist -- will conduct
Lenten worship every Wednesday, starting March 5 and ending
April 9. Each group will host one day and will feature a guest
pastor from a different church.
Pastor Dan Appel of Auburn Seventh-day Adventist said he
believes that the collaboration among organizations will bring
about good faith among Auburn Christians. "I think the intent
was to just give the people the opportunity to get acquainted
with other pastors," Appel said. "So often, people hear the same
speaker over and over again. This gives people the chance to get
better acquainted. There is also an attempt to show that while we
may have theological differences with each other, we still respect
each other as followers of God."

27. NUMBERS
CHAPTER
25

28. The videos should be a wake up
call to all Protestant and
Adventist Christians around the
world. If these videos does not
wake us up from our sleeping
condition, I don't know what
will! What does the Bible and
Spirit of Prophecy say?!

29. "These have one mind, and shall give their power and
strength unto the beast." (Rev. 17:13)
•Unity on Common Points of Doctrine:"
"The wide diversity of belief in the Protestant churches is
regarded by many as decisive proof that no effort to
secure a forced uniformity can ever be made. But there
has been for years, in churches of the Protestant faith, a
strong and growing sentiment in favor of a union based
upon COMMON POINTS OF DOCTRINE. To secure
such a union, the discussion of subjects upon which all
were not agreed--however important they might be from
a Bible standpoint--must necessarily be waived." (The
Great Controversy, p. 444 -- written in 1888)

30. Threefold Persecuting Union:
"Through the two great errors, the immortality of the soul and
Sunday sacredness, Satan will bring the people under his
deceptions. While the former lays the foundation of Spiritualism,
the latter creates a bond of sympathy with Rome. The Protestants of
the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across
the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the
abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the
influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the
steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience." (The Great
Controversy, p. 588 [1911])
 "And this is the religion which Protestants are beginning to look
upon with so much favor, and which will eventually be united with
Protestantism. This union will not, however, be effected by a change
in Catholicism; for Rome never changes. She claims infallibility. It is
Protestantism that will change. The adoption of liberal ideas on its
part will bring it where it can clasp the hand of Catholicism."
(Review and Herald, June 1886)

31. "Romanism is now regarded by Protestants with far greater
favor than in former years. In those countries where
Catholicism is not in the ascendancy, and the papists are
taking a conciliatory course in order to gain influence, there
is an increasing indifference concerning the doctrines that
separate the reformed churches from the papal hierarchy;
the opinion is gaining ground that, after all, we do not differ
so widely upon vital points as has been supposed, and that a
little concession on our part will bring us into a better
understanding with Rome. The time was when Protestants
placed a high value upon the liberty of conscience which
had been so dearly purchased. They taught their children to
abhor popery and held that to seek harmony with Rome
would be disloyalty to God. But how widely different are the
sentiments now expressed!

32. The defenders of the papacy declare that the church has been
maligned, and the Protestant world are inclined to accept the
statement. Many urge that it is unjust to judge the church of
today by the abominations and absurdities that marked her reign
during the centuries of ignorance and darkness. They excuse her
horrible cruelty as the result of the barbarism of the times and
plead that the influence of modern civilization has changed her
sentiments. Have these persons forgotten the claim of infallibility
put forth for eight hundred years by this haughty power? So far
from being relinquished, this claim was affirmed in the
nineteenth century with greater positiveness than ever before. As
Rome asserts that the "church never erred; nor will it, according
to the Scriptures, ever err" (John L. Von Mosheim, Institutes of
Ecclesiastical History, Book 3, Century II, Part 2, Chapter 2,
Section 9, Note 17), how can she renounce the principles which
governed her course in past ages?" (The Great Controversy, p. 564
[1911])

33. "While the Protestant world is by her attitude
making concessions to Rome, let us arouse to
comprehend the situation, and view the contest
before us in its true bearings. LET THE
WATCHMEN NOW LIFT UP THEIR VOICE,
AND GIVE THE MESSAGE WHICH IS
PRESENT TRUTH FOR THIS TIME. LET US
SHOW PEOPLE WHERE WE ARE IN
PROPHETIC HISTORY, and seek to arouse the
spirit of true Protestantism, awakening the world
to a sense of the value of the privileges of
religious liberty so long enjoyed." (Testimonies,
Vol. 5, p. 716)

34. The Last Act in the Drama:
"And I saw three unclean spirits like
frogs come out of the mouth of the
dragon, and out of the mouth of the
beast, and out of the mouth of the false
prophet. For they are the spirits of
devils, working miracles, which go
forth unto the kings of the earth and of
the whole world, to gather them to the
battle of that great day of God
Almighty." (Revelation 16:13, 14)

35. "By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in
violation of the law of God, our nation [the United States] will
disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When
Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp
the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the
abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the
influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate
every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and
republican government, and shall make provision for the
propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may
know that the time has come for the marvelous working of
Satan and that the end is near." (Volume 5 - Testimonies - p.
451 - written in 1880s)

36. "In the movements now in progress in the United States
to secure for the institutions and usages of the church
the support of the state, Protestants are following in the
steps of papists. Nay, more, they are opening the door
for the papacy to regain in Protestant America the
supremacy which she has lost in the Old World. And
that which gives greater significance to this movement
is the fact that the principal object contemplated is the
enforcement of Sunday observance--a custom which
originated with Rome, and which she claims as the sign
of her authority. It is the spirit of the papacy--the spirit
of conformity to worldly customs, the veneration for
human traditions above the commandments of God--
that is permeating the Protestant churches and leading
them on to do the same work of Sunday exaltation
which the papacy has done before them.

37. If the reader would understand the
agencies to be employed in the soon-coming
contest, he has but to trace the
record of the means which Rome
employed for the same object in ages
past. If he would know how papists
and Protestants united will deal with
those who reject their dogmas, let him
see the spirit which Rome manifested
toward the Sabbath and its defenders."
(The Great Controversy, p. 572 [1911])

38. "The line of distinction between professed Christians
and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church
members love what the world loves and are ready to
join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in
one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all
into the ranks of spiritualism. Papists, who boast of
miracles as a certain sign of the true church, will be
readily deceived by this wonder-working power; and
Protestants, having cast away the shield of truth, will
also be deluded. Papists, Protestants, and worldlings
will alike accept the form of godliness without the
power, and they will see in this union a grand
movement for the conversion of the world and the
ushering in of the long-expected millennium." (The
Great Controversy, p. 588 [1911])

39. "The time is not far distant, when, like the
early disciples, we shall be forced to seek a
refuge in desolate and solitary places. As the
siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was
the signal for flight to the Judean Christians,
so the assumption of power on the part of
our nation, in the decree enforcing the papal
sabbath, will be a warning to us. IT WILL
THEN BE TIME TO LEAVE THE LARGE
CITIES, PREPARATORY TO LEAVING
THE SMALLER ONES FOR RETIRED
HOMES IN SECLUDED PLACES among the
mountains." (Testimonies, Vol. 5, pp. 464,
465)

40. "There are many, even of those engaged in this movement for
Sunday enforcement, who are blinded to the results which will
follow this action. They do not see that they are striking directly
against religious liberty. There are many who have never
understood the claims of the Bible Sabbath and the false
foundation upon which the Sunday institution rests. Any
movement in favor of religious legislation is really an act of
concession to the papacy, which for so many ages has teadily
warred against liberty of conscience. Sunday observance owes its
existence as a so-called Christian institution to "the mystery of
iniquity;" and its enforcement will be a virtual recognition of the
principles which are the very cornerstone of Romanism. When
our nation shall so abjure the principles of its government as to
enact a Sunday law, Protestantism will in this act join hands with
popery; it will be nothing else than giving life to the tyranny
which has long been eagerly watching its opportunity to spring
again into active despotism." (Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 711)

41. "It is true that there are real Christians in the Roman
Catholic communion. Thousands in that church are serving
God according to the best light they have. They are not
allowed access to His word, and therefore they do not
discern the truth. They have never seen the contrast
between a living heart service and a round of mere forms
and ceremonies. God looks with pitying tenderness upon
these souls, educated as they are in a faith that is delusive
and unsatisfying. He will cause rays of light to penetrate the
dense darkness that surrounds them. He will reveal to them
the truth as it is in Jesus, and many will yet take their
position with His people.

42. But Romanism as a system is no more in harmony with the gospel of Christ
now than at any former period in her history. The Protestant churches are in
great darkness, or they would discern the signs of the times. The Roman
Church is far-reaching in her plans and modes of operation. She is employing
every device to extend her influence and increase her power in preparation for
a fierce and determined conflict to regain control of the world, to re-establish
persecution, and to undo all that Protestantism has done. Catholicism is
gaining ground upon every side. See the increasing number of her churches
and chapels in Protestant countries. Look at the popularity of her colleges and
seminaries in America, so widely patronized by Protestants. Look at the
growth of ritualism in England and the frequent defections to the ranks of the
Catholics. These things should awaken the anxiety of all who prize the pure
principles of the gospel.

Protestants have tampered with and patronized popery; they have made
compromises and concessions which papists themselves are surprised to see
and fail to understand. Men are closing their eyes to the real character of
Romanism and the dangers to be apprehended from her supremacy. The
people need to be aroused to resist the advances of this most dangerous foe to
civil and religious liberty." (The Great Controversy, pp. 565, 566 [1911]

43. "Christ was a protestant. He protested against the formal
worship of the Jewish nation, who rejected the counsel of
God against themselves. He told them that they taught for
doctrines the commandments of men, and that they were
pretenders and hypocrites. Like whited sepulchers they
were beautiful without, but within full of impurity and
corruption. The Reformers date back to Christ and the
apostles. They came out and separated themselves from a
religion of forms and ceremonies. Luther and his followers
did not invent the reformed religion. They simply
accepted it as presented by Christ and the apostles. The
Bible is presented to us as a sufficient guide; but the pope
and his workers remove it from the people as if it were a
curse, because it exposes their pretensions and rebukes
their idolatry." (Review and Herald, June 1886)

44. "The Roman Church has not relinquished her claim to
supremacy; and when the world and the Protestant
churches accept a sabbath of her creating, while they
reject the Bible Sabbath, they virtually admit this
assumption. They may claim the authority of tradition
and of the Fathers for the change; but in so doing they
ignore the very principle which separates them from
Rome--that "the Bible, and the Bible only, is the religion
of Protestants." The papist can see that they are
deceiving themselves, willingly closing their eyes to the
facts in the case. As the movement for Sunday
enforcement gains favor, he rejoices, feeling assured
that it will eventually bring the whole Protestant world
under the banner of Rome." (The Great Controversy, p.
448 [1911])

45. More Scriptures:
"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they
worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make
war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things
and blasphemies." (Rev. 13:4, 5)

"I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake."
(Dan. 7:11)
 "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the
saints of the most High." (Dan. 7:25)
 "And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the
host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Yea, he
magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice
was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. And an host
was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast
down the truth to the ground; and it practiced, and prospered." (Dan. 8:10-12)

46. "And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and
he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and
shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his
policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he
shall magnify himself in his heart, and BY PEACE SHALL
DESTROY MANY: he shall also stand up against the Prince of
princes; but he shall be broken without hand." (Dan 8:24, 25)

47. "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing
himself that he is God." (2 Thess 2:3, 4)

50. Now is the time for the careless to arouse
from their slumber. Now is the time to
entreat that souls shall not only hear the
word of God, but without delay secure oil
in their vessels with their lamps. That oil is
the righteousness of Christ. It represents
character, and character is not transferable.
No man can secure it for another. Each
must obtain for himself a character purified
from every stain of sin. {TM 233.2}

Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine
altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

52.  Never did this message apply with greater force than it
applies today. More and more the world is setting at nought
the claims of God. Men have become bold in transgression.
The wickedness of the inhabitants of the world has almost
filled up the measure of their iniquity. This earth has almost
reached the place where God will permit the destroyer to
work his will upon it. THE SUBSTITUTION OF THE LAWS
OF MEN FOR THE LAW OF GOD, THE EXALTATION,
BY MERELY HUMAN AUTHORITY, OF SUNDAY IN
PLACE OF THE BIBLE SABBATH, IS THE LAST ACT IN
THE DRAMA. When this substitution becomes universal,
God will reveal Himself. He will arise in His majesty to
shake terribly the earth. He will come out of His place to
punish the inhabitants of the world for their iniquity, and
the earth shall disclose her blood and shall no more cover
her slain. {7T 141.1}

53.  Do not think that God will work a miracle
to save those weak souls who cherish evil,
who practice sin; or that some supernatural
element will be brought into their lives,
lifting them out of self into a higher sphere,
where it will be comparatively easy work,
without any special effort, any special
fighting, without any crucifixion of self;
because all who dally on Satan's ground for
this to be done will perish with the evildoers.
They will be suddenly destroyed, and that
without remedy. {TM 453.2}

54. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue
Armageddon. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their
armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse,
and against his army. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city,
which reigneth over the kings of the earth: for they are the spirits of devils,
working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the
whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God
Almighty. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall
overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that
are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And whereas thou sawest
iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of
men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed
with clay. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the
land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures
of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the
Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. And he causeth all, both
small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his
palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come
to his end, and none shall help him.

55. HOW NEAR IS NEAR
