In reply to Great Kudu. You have touched on some of my sentiments, particularly, righteousness by faith. Many have become confused with what the gospel is and is not. As you stated, in the end their will be only two classes those who are for Christ and have surrendered to him to save them by faith and those who have not. Working our way into heaven is one of the greatest deceptions of Satan. Many have brought into this ideology based on what they have been taught by Jesuits in the educational system. As a result, many will be lost while hoping and desiring to be Christians. We cannot work our way into heaven nor can we be righteous through our own merits.

Ellen White says that while Sabbath observance will be a central issue, it does not become a global issue of life and death until after probation closes when Satan impersonates Christ, (See the Great Controversy page 624 forward.)

Why would it be an issue of life or death “after” probation closes? It would have to be “before” probation closes. The Sabbath and the State of the Dead will be the two major deciding points between God’s people and the lost. Everyone will have to make a decision before probation closes. This includes Seventh-day Adventists also!

Hitler used Romans 13 against Germany, for sure many SDA’s would have fallen for it, as they are today also,

EGW warned us that the Sunday law would come via Romans 13 being misapplied….

In reply to Sam Markov. Above quote from FLB 287.5. See also GC452.1, 4BC1161.4-6, EP212.4, LDE ch15,CCh ch61, 5T ch23,3SM409, 3SM427.2 re seal

Good article thank you. Paragraph seven needs to be elaborated upon. Ch 39 of the GC, both tittle and first paragraph deal with events after close of probation, but events of ch25 is before. The seal of God is placed in the forehead BEFORE the final test, (IE, probation closed period), and this seal/mark is found in the fourth commandment. ‘This only, of all the ten, brings to view both the name and tittle of the Lawgiver. It declares Him to be the Creator of the heavens and the earth, and thus shows His claim to reverence and worship above all others. Aside from this precept, there is nothing in the decalogue to show by whose authority the law is given.’
So it seems from all inspired writings, that Satan will attempt to impersonate Christ’s second advent both during the little and great time of trouble. Therefore the account in p624 of GC must be one of Satans final attempts to deceive the 144000, for all will be sealed at that point on either side, and those on the wrong side cannot go to the right side any more. The censor has been thrown down and that door wherein man has been able to enter since 1844 will be be closed forever!

Thanks for all the special messages we get from Advent Messenger. I have an acronym, FOJ:. Focus On Jesus. Our Jesus will see us through. We are blessed to know who wins this global great controversy. Read Hebrews 12:2 and FOJ.

The Sabbath is the final issue in the great controversy, but the Sabbath is the seal of righteousness by faith. Our message then is Christ our righteousness and the liberty that is in Christ Jesus because where the spirit of God is, there is liberty. Freedom from sin. The man of sin has dominion over all such as have not found liberty in Christ Jesus – freedom from sin. That is why when Moses speaks of the Sabbath it is with reference to bondage in Egypt and that the Lord set them free from physical and spiritual slavery, so ought they to remember and keep the sabbath. And Paul speaks in Hebrews of the entering the spiritual rest of God, and that those who do so cease from their works. Unprofitable works of trying to earn righteousness by our on effort which is likened to filthy rags. This is the everlasting gospel

The beast power offers a counterfeit gospel to Christ our righteousness. Its system of salvation is works based and is fitted for two classes of mankind: those that would be saved by their works and those that would be saved in their sins. And the mark of the beast is the mark of mankind’s effort to save himself through his own effort and not God’s way. Sunday then is the counterfeit to the Sabbath but its much deeper than just the day.

Man’s effort at salvation include:
saving the planet – and there comes the environment and climate change movement
Making this world just and equitable – and there goes the great reset and social justice movement
Returning the USA and the whole world to a Judeo Christian world view and some sort of religious revival in the various global religions – the image of the beast.

The liberties of God’s people will eventually be taken away regardless of whether they agitate for it. It does not matter the political leaders, the economic system or any such, the only liberty that God’s people must strive for is the Liberty found in Jesus – that cannot be taken away. When we awake to this fact and seek that liberty, we shall be ready to give the loud cry and the final movements will be rapid indeed.
