But let’s first keep our focus on Jesus and our relationship with Him and then the mark of the beast is just another blip on the prophecy radar. Also remember that it will not be implemented from the “top-down”, but rather the people will demand it. We’re not there yet, these covid mandates don’t [yet] really have anything to do with worship or sunday. “The dignitaries of church and state will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance.” – GC 592.3, and there are other events which we are told will come first that have not come yet – like a false revival.

A View of the Conflict
In vision I saw two armies in terrible conflict. One army was led by banners bearing the world’s insignia; the other was led by the bloodstained banner of Prince Immanuel. Standard after standard was left to trail in the dust as company after company from the Lord’s army joined the foe and tribe after tribe from the ranks of the enemy united with the commandment-keeping people of God. An angel flying in the midst of heaven put the standard of Immanuel into many hands, while a mighty general cried out with a loud voice: “Come into line. Let those who are loyal to the commandments of God and the testimony of Christ now take their position. Come out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean, and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters. Let all who will come up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty.” { 8T 41.1}

This is one of the many reasons why every Christian should reject the Roman Catholic (RC) “doctrine and practices of clerical and ecclesiastical sacredotalism”. Sadly, nearly all Protestant denominations and their clergy rarely discuss the issues and practices of RC’s dangerous sacredotalism. Most cannot even define or know anything about the term. This is just one of the reasons I sometimes mention the need of continuing and advancing the historic Reformation in today’s churches and denominations.

Our PARL employees need to remember who they work for! And it isn’t the local health department, governor, or any other entity outside of our church! They are the Public Affairs and Religious Liberty department of the SDA CHURCH! If they want to side with and uphold vax mandates then they need to resign their position at PARL and go to work for them.

And now that they have made this statement, what is the outcome when laws are passed that interfere with parental rights, and someone’s child is deemed a public threat for not using contraceptives…forced sterilization? How about if your elderly parent is deemed a burden to society? Too many children in a family? A threat to community resources? Just take them out back and do as Hitler did to the infirmed, elderly, Down syndrome, insane, disabled…. In fact they can use his play book…oh! That’s right! They already are.

The SDA church was infiltrated by Jesuits and Jesuit trained people long ago.

The old paths are being grown over- and non SDA members are watching too
