Sabbath Message 29/5/27/120
Dear Friends,
This month we have come one step closer to the fulfilment of the prophecy of Revelation.
In an article with no name, the major step in the unification of the Trinitarian system prophesied in the last days was announced. It appears Australia is the beginning of this move back to the central system prophesied by God.
The article was taken from the Sunday Herald-Sun 1/8/04, page 25, with no author’s
name attached. This week was the week of the ninth and tenth of Ab. This was
the traditional date for the major trials of Israel and the fall of the Temple
system in early times.

“Churches seal new mission for unity”
“The Catholic Church and major Protestant denominations have signed a landmark pact to share pews, pray together, recognise each other’s rituals and even share clergy.
Under a ‘covenant of co-operation’, signed after eight years of negotiations, 15 of the nation’s biggest churches will finally recognise each other’s baptisms and ministries. The sweeping ecumenical pact, signed during the fifth national forum of the National Council of Churches in Australia (NCCA), brings together Catholic, Anglican, Uniting, Lutheran, Churches of Christ, Quakers, Salvation Army, Congregationalist churches and seven Orthodox churches.Four Orthodox bodies declined to sign the pact. Church leaders yesterday hailed it as a world-first step in bringing Christian communities closer together.
‘It’s an international benchmark’ NCCA president Rev Professor James Haire, said.
‘No one else, I believe, anywhere in the world, has been able to produce anything quite as comprehensive as this.’
All 15 churches affirmed commitment to each other as ‘partners on the ecumenical journey’, pledged to join in common prayer, and to work for greater unity.”

Are we surprised? The answer should be no, we are not surprised. It was foretold
two millennia ago.
This unification will go on until they are all back in the same fold. The only reason they split in the so-called Reformation, was to forestall the growth of the Churches of God that was occurring through the nauseation of a frustrated public.
They will unify prior to their destruction at the return of the Messiah.
Things are heating up now as we progress to the tribulation of the last days.
This system will be attacked now by rising Neo-paganism and witchcraft. The media is turning on them now as the opponents “come out of the closet” and conspire to destroy them. One will wane while the Pagans wax for a time. In the end, we will see them all fade and pass away with the establishment of the Millennial system under Messiah.
By the time the Millennial system is completed and fully operational, none will be left. Their system will be gone, as will their priests. Their own prophecies foretell these events (see the paper The Last Pope (No. 288)).
There will be one system dedicated to the worship of the One True God, and all under Jesus Christ whom He sent. The understanding of that fact is eternal life (Jn. 17:3).
When the nexus of the Law of God is re-established, it will be obvious to all what system is required and rewarded and enforced (Zech. 14:16-19; Isa. 66:23). God’s Calendar will be mandatory (see the paper God’s Calendar (No. 156)). Those who do not keep it will face droughts and plagues, and they will be in no doubt as to what God wishes to be done in obedience to His Law.
What we are persecuted for doing today, because we wish to obey God, all men will do through simple rewards for obedience. Those who disobey in secret will be punished openly as provided for in Scripture by God and the Heavenly Host.
The amalgamation is but the beginning of sorrows.
Trust in God and stand in awe.
