- “And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the ONLY TRUE GOD, AND Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent.” {John 17,3}
- “Sister White told us as we three stood there on the depot platform, that a terrible storm of persecution was coming like a windstorm that blew down every standing object. There was not a Seventh-day Adventist to be seen. They, like the disciples, forsook Christ and fled. All who had sought positions were never seen again. After the storm there was a calm, then the Adventists arose like a great flock of sheep, but there were no shepherds. They all waited in earnest prayer for help and wisdom, and the Lord answered by helping them to choose leaders from among them who had never sought positions before. They prayed earnestly for the holy Spirit which was poured out upon them making them fully ready for service. They then went forth ‘fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners,’ to give this message to the world. “I was astonished, and asked if that applied to Loma Linda, as we were looking in that direction. Sister White replied to my question by stating that it applied to the entire denominational world. It so stunned me that I did not ask any more questions.“ {Will Ross, Boulder, Colorado: His speaking with Ellen White 1908 on the train station of Loma Linda, written 1943 by Elder D.E. Robinson http://www.ellenwhitedefend.com/SOP-Library/History-Defense/LOMALIND.pdf}
The Spirit of Prophecy in the last days before the coming of Jesus
According to the Bible, the last generation of God’s people not only keep the Sabbath (Seventh Day – Saturday from the 4th commandment), but also has the spirit of prophecy of what God has announced {Revelation 14:12 and 19:10}. Why is prophecy important in the end times, before the coming of Jesus? Because there have been thousands of contradicting Bible interpretations and falsifications in the last few days, and God wants His people to get a complete understanding of the Bible, so that they can clearly see the traps and deceptions of the enemy as we are near the end of probation. A true prophet of God never contradicts the Bible and keeps all 10 commandments i.e. also the Saturday {2. Moses 20:1-17}.
This constellation was only fulfilled with Ellen White, in contrast to the charismatic “prophets” and “healers”, who get the power directly from Satan and call the eternal law of God “symbolic” or “changed” (in the New Testament). The encouraging writings of Ellen White lead us to biblical truth. We should study the Bible every day, accompanied with prayer, and God will give us His truth and strength so that we are prepared for the imminent coming of Jesus, and so that we can be a part of the last people of God, and not be found amongst Babylon or the fallen churches. May God help us make the right decision while probation still continues!
