It also never appears in the book The Great Controversy, none of the editions. That’s because the Sabbath will be the great test for the last days. We only have one Loud Cry/Latter Rain message, and it’s not the one you’re referring to.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Vatican flag is gone.

This next:

Examining the traditional method of counting a name (gematria or numerology). 

The idea that Revelation 13:18 is inviting us to count the name of the beast by assigning numbers to letters (like using Greek or Hebrew gematria) is popular, but not explicitly supported by any biblical principle or command.

Let’s examine this critically and biblically:

⸻

<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4d6.png" alt="📖" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Revelation 13:17–18 — What Does It Say?

“…the number of his name.”
“Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Rev. 13:17–18)

This is often taken as license for name arithmetic, but…

⸻

<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/274c.png" alt="❌" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Is Name-Counting (Gematria) a Biblical Principle?

No — Not as a Divine Instruction.
	•	Nowhere in Scripture are we ever instructed to interpret someone’s character or identity by counting the numerical value of their name using alphabets.
	•	This practice comes from pagan systems, especially:
	•	Greek gematria
	•	Kabbalistic Judaism
	•	Babylonian numerology

Example of what isn’t in the Bible:
	•	You will not find anywhere that says: “Add the letters of a name to understand the person’s nature.”
	•	There is no instruction from God or Jesus or the prophets to use numerical equivalents of names to decode spiritual truth.

It’s doing after the manner of the Papacy- mixing pagan philosophy with scripture and teaching it as Bible doctrine

					<description><![CDATA[This same man, Mike Ryan said: &quot;The Jesuits are our friends and advisers&quot;!  to David Gates.  See 3 min. video here: www.tinyur.com/free-mikeryan   David&#039;s wife was there too.  A personal one on one meeting Ryan said that to David.  So, Ryan can act like he wants to give the third angel&#039;s message, but he is only preaching to the choir.  He was not preaching this to all the folks in St. Louis.  He used the word &quot;our&quot; which means the conference leadership at the GC headquarters where he was working as VP there when he met David Gates.    Please do not drink the wine from these conference leaders!!!]]></description>
