Sabbath 171042120A

Dear Friends,

We are in a serious situation where we are facing war and serious national emergencies such as fires and flood. 

Last Sabbath we warned of the coming wars of the Last Days and we were to study Wars of the End Part I: Wars of Amalek (No. 141C). Look also at Commentary on Esther Part II: Purim and the Last Days (F017B).

Many of our people have been fed lies about the faith and the future of our people on death. Most of the unconverted believe the lies of the Mystery and Sun Cults, and believe that when they die they will all go to Heaven and the people they don’t like or who disagree with them will go to Hell (cf. Heaven, Hell, or the First Resurrection of the Dead (No. 143A). The Bible texts tell us specifically what is to happen to mankind but no one wants to believe God and the Scriptures.

Many expect that there will be a rapture and we will all be taken by Messiah to heaven.  This fallacy of the 18th century is examined in the text The Millennium and the Rapture (No. 095). It is important that we understand this heresy and also the variation invented by E. G. White in the Adventists where many believe they will all get to heaven to study the Books of Life and of the Sins of  the world and they will get to sit in judgment on others (cf. also The Pre-Advent Judgment (No. 176)).  That people manage to believe, contrary to Scripture, doctrines invented by False Prophets and False Prophecy (No. 269) is quite sad and tragic for those that listen to them.

Humanity has been told quite clearly by the Patriarchs and Prophets and Christ and the Apostles in both the Scriptures and the Koran what is to happen to them.  The Covenant of God (No. 152) has been explained to them. The texts say the same things.  The Covenant is tied to the Law and the Testimony in both elements of the faiths in Judah and in both Christianity and Islam (cf. Christianity and Islam in the Covenant of God (No. 096C)).

If you do not wish to obey God and keep the Law and the Testimony then you will be sent to the grave and then the Host will be sent to gather you at the end of the millennial system and you will be resurrected and placed in the Second Resurrection and the Great White Throne Judgment (No. 143B).  The texts are clear and easily understood, even by a young person.  You will all be taught whether you like it or not. If you refuse to obey then you will be allowed to die and we will burn your dead body in the Lake of Fire and you will be called to mind no more. You will cease to exist.

It is not God’s Will that any flesh should perish and thus each will be given a chance at Salvation in the Plan of Salvation (No. 001A).  For it is God’s will that we shall all become gods as Christ said:  Is it not written in our law that we shall all become gods (and Scripture cannot be broken) (cf. Ps. 82:6; Jn.10:34-36) (cf. The Elect as Elohim (No. 001)).

Do not waste you lives and your future as a son of God. Let no one steal your crown (Rev. 3:11).
