					<description><![CDATA[This is a deception! A slight of hand for those who don&#039;t know the Prophetic Word of God. 

They claim to invoke Armageddon, however this is an attempt to make people believe that they are fulfilling prophecy in Revelation. This falls along with Dispensationalism and zionism which also is contrary to Prophecy in God&#039;s Word.

satan has and is attempting to rewrite Prophecy in God&#039;s Word to deceive the world. 

A Counterfeit is truth mixed with error in order to deceive with potency.

So, the truth is, they are preparing people for Armageddon, to rebel against God and to persecute those who are loyal and keep His Commandments and have the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:12

Armageddon is the battle that will be fought between satan, his servants, and all those who receives the mark of the beast; in receiving the mark of the beast at the geeat test of loyalty at the time of &quot;no buy or sell&quot;, many will rebel against God&#039;s by cboosing a false day of worship, and thereby placing themselves on satan&#039;s side. This battle will climax after the message of Revelation 18 goes out to the world, the Loud Cry, warning the world not to receive the mark and to come out of Babylon(spiritual) who will enforce a false day of worship (even now they are clamoring for a &quot;universal day of rest&quot;). Then probation will close and the plagues will fall on all those who have chosen dioyalty to God by trampling on His Holy Law.

It is the final battle of the Great Controversy between God and His faithful loyal servant&#039;s, and satan and his servants. But Christ will win this battle at His Second Coming. 

“12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 
13 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. 
14 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. 
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. ”
Revelation 16:12-16 KJV


This is what Armageddon is:

&quot;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. Revelation 17:14.
We need to study the pouring out of the seventh vial. The powers of evil will not yield up the conflict without a struggle. But Providence has a part to act in the battle of Armageddon. When the earth is lighted with the glory of the angel of Revelation eighteen, the religious elements, good and evil, will awake from slumber, and the armies of the living God will take the field.[17]
Four mighty angels hold back the powers of this earth till the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads. The nations of the world are eager for conflict; but they are held in check by the angels. When this restraining power is removed, there will come a time of trouble and anguish. Deadly instruments of warfare will be invented. Vessels, with their living cargo, will be entombed in the great deep. All who have not the spirit of truth will unite under the leadership of satanic agencies. But they are to be kept under control till the time shall come for the great battle of Armageddon.[18]
Every form of evil is to spring into intense activity. Evil angels unite their powers with evil men, and as they have been in constant conflict and attained an experience in the best modes of deception and battle, and have been strengthening for centuries, they will not yield the last great final contest without a desperate struggle. All the world will be on one side or the other of the question. The battle of Armageddon will be fought, and that day must find none of us sleeping. Wide awake we must be, as wise virgins having oil in our vessels with our lamps....
The power of the Holy Ghost must be upon us, and the Captain of the Lord’s host will stand at the head of the angels of heaven to direct the battle. Solemn events before us are yet to transpire. Trumpet after trumpet is to be sounded, vial after vial poured out one after another upon the inhabitants of the earth. Scenes of stupendous interest are right upon us&quot; Mar pages257.1 - 257.5


&quot;The blessed hope of the second appearing of Christ, with its solemn realities, needs to be often presented to the people. Looking for the soon appearing of our Lord will lead us to regard earthly things as emptiness and nothingness.
The battle of Armageddon is soon to be fought. He on whose vesture is written the name, King of kings, and Lord of lords, is soon to lead forth the armies of heaven.
It cannot now be said by the Lord’s servants, as it was by the prophet Daniel: “The time appointed was long.” Daniel 10:1. It is now but a short time till the witnesses for God will have done their work in preparing the way of the Lord... 
The day of the Lord is approaching with stealthy tread; but the supposed great and wise men know not the signs of Christ’s coming or of the end of the world. Iniquity abounds, and the love of many has waxed cold.
There are thousands upon thousands, millions upon millions, who are now making their decision for eternal life or eternal death. The man who is wholly absorbed in his counting room, the man who finds pleasure at the gaming table, the man who loves to indulge perverted appetite, the amusement lover, the frequenters of the theater and the ballroom, put eternity out of their reckoning. The whole burden of their life is: What shall we eat? what shall we drink? and  wherewithal shall we be clothed? They are not in the procession that is moving heavenward. They are led by the great apostate, and with him will be destroyed. 
Unless we understand the importance of the moments that are swiftly passing into eternity, and make ready to stand in the great day of God, we shall be unfaithful stewards. The watchman is to know the time of night. Everything is now clothed with a solemnity that all who believe the truth for this time should realize. They should act in reference to the day of God. The judgments of God are about to fall upon the world, and we need to be preparing for that great day.
Our time is precious. We have but few, very few days of probation in which to make ready for the future, immortal life. We have no time to spend in haphazard movements. We should fear to skim the surface of the word of God.
It is as true now as when Christ was upon the earth, that every inroad made by the gospel upon the enemy’s dominion is met by fierce opposition from his vast armies. The conflict that is right upon us will be the most terrible ever witnessed. But though Satan is represented as being as strong as the strong man armed, his overthrow will be complete, and every one who unites with him in choosing apostasy rather than loyalty will perish with him.
The restraining Spirit of God is even now being withdrawn from the world. Hurricanes, storms, tempests, fire and flood, disasters by sea and land, follow each other in quick succession. Science seeks to explain all these. The signs thickening around us, telling of the near approach of the Son of God, are attributed to any other than the true cause. Men cannot discern the sentinel angels restraining the four winds that they shall not blow until the servants of God  are sealed; but when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there will be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture&quot; 3TT pages 13.1 - 14.4]]></description>

		Comment on Adventists Join Roman Catholics during an Easter Interfaith Event Titled &#8220;In Him, We Are One” by Michel Herman		</title>

And let it be remembered, it is the boast of Rome that she never changes. GC88 580.3

In this day, God has called His church, as He called ancient Israel, to stand as a light in the earth. By the mighty cleaver of truth,—the messages of the first, second, and third angels,—He has separated a people from the churches and from the world, to bring them into a sacred nearness to Himself. He has made them the depositories of His law, and has committed to them the great truths of prophecy for this time. Like the holy oracles committed to ancient Israel, these are a sacred trust to be communicated to the world. ST January 25,  1910, par. 11

But the Lord is dishonored and his cause reproached by his people being in bondage to the world. They are in friendship with the world, the enemies of God. Their only hope of salvation is to separate from the world, and zealously maintain their holy, peculiar character. 9LtMs, Ms 104, 1894, par. 13]]></description>

		Comment on The Lies Many Evangelicals Give to Avoid Keeping God’s True Sabbath Day by Mg		</title>

					<description><![CDATA[This sound like the same rhetoric from kirk and his book.

I get it if people want to rest on any day they choose. 
However, 
the question is:
Why call it a Sabbath?
Why not call it something else?

This is where the counterfeiting and deception lies.

Mankind knew nothing about a &#039;Sabbath&#039; until it was instituted by God, and revealed through His people who keep His Commandments and Testimonies.

So why use God&#039;s memorial, and sign of His Creative power and Authority?

Why is there an attempt to change, the definition, meaning, and even the day of God&#039;s instituted day of Rest - 7th day Sabbath?

“1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. ”
Genesis 2:1-3 KJV

The 7th Day Sabbath is the only day that God made Holy; He sanctified it.

So why are men attempting to make God&#039;s Holy day common, and a common work day holy?

It is written:

“He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. ”
1 John 2:4 KJV

This is dishonest!

These are the Words of Christ:

“44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. ”
John 8:44-45 KJV

God has given us the Truth in His Word.

Christians need to self examine to see who they are really serving. Ingoring the plain Truth in God&#039;s Word and accepting falsehood is not God but satan&#039;s work. 

Let us be true Christians and keep God&#039;s Commandments and not take away from it or add to His Word; He will ezpose us and we will be found a liar. Proverbs 30:6]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy. 



The church that holds to the word of God is irreconcilably separated from Rome. Protestants were once thus apart from this great church of apostasy, but they have approached more nearly to her, and are still in the path of reconciliation to the Church of Rome. Rome never changes. Her principles have not altered in the least. She has not lessened the breach between herself and Protestants; they have done all the advancing. But what does this argue for the Protestantism of this day? It is the rejection of Bible truth which makes men approach to infidelity. It is a backsliding church that lessens the distance between itself and the Papacy.


It is souls like Luther, Cranmer, Ridley, Hooper, and the thousands of noble men who were martyrs for the truth’s sake, who are the true Protestants. They stood as faithful sentinels of truth, declaring that Protestantism is incapable of union with Romanism, but must be as far separated from the principles of the Papacy as is the east from the west. Such advocates of truth could no more harmonize with “the man of sin” than could Christ and his apostles. In earlier ages the righteous felt that it was impossible to affiliate with Rome, and, though their antagonism to this system of error was maintained at risk of property and life, yet they had courage to maintain their separation, and manfully struggled for the truth. Bible truth was dearer to them than wealth, honor, or even life itself. They could not endure to see the truth buried under a mass of superstition and lying sophistry. They took the word of God in their hands, and raised the standard of truth before the people, boldly declaring that which God had revealed unto them through diligent searching of the Bible. They died the cruelest of deaths for their fidelity to God, but by their blood they purchased for us liberties and privileges that many who claim to be Protestants are easily yielding up to the power of evil. But shall we yield up these dearly bought privileges? Shall we offer insult to the God of heaven, and, after he has freed us from the Romish yoke, again place ourselves in bondage to this antichristian power? Shall we prove our degeneracy by signing away our religious liberty, our right to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience? 

 ST February 19, 1894



It required a desperate struggle for those who would be faithful to stand firm against the deceptions and abominations which were disguised in sacerdotal garments and introduced into the church. The Bible was not accepted as the standard of faith. The doctrine of religious freedom was termed heresy, and its upholders were hated and proscribed. GC 45.2
After a long and severe conflict, the faithful few decided to dissolve all union with the apostate church if she still refused to free herself from falsehood and idolatry. They saw that separation was an absolute necessity if they would obey the word of God. They dared not tolerate errors fatal to their own souls, and set an example which would imperil the faith of their children and children’s children. To secure peace and unity they were ready to make any concession consistent with fidelity to God; but they felt that even peace would be too dearly purchased at the sacrifice of principle. If unity could be secured only by the compromise of truth and righteousness, then let there be difference, and even war. GC 45.3
