A Message for Frequent
Appearance.--In
the
twenty-first chapter of Luke Christ foretold what was to come upon
Jerusalem, and with it He connected the scenes which were to take
place in the history of this world just prior to the coming of the
Son of man in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
(CW 23-24)
Luke 21:
24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of
the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25And
there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars;
and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the
sea and the waves roaring; 26Men’s
hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be
shaken. 27And
then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and
great glory. 28And
when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up
your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
32Verily
I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be
fulfilled.
33Heaven
and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 34And
take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged
with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so
that day come upon you unawares. 35For
as a snare shall it come on all them that
dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36Watch
ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to
escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before
the Son of man.
THE
SIGN OF THE END TIME |

Rev. 13
11And
I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And
he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and
causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the
first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13And
he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14And
deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of
those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the
beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should
make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and
did live. 15And
he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the
image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as
would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16And
he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: 17And
that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here
is wisdom. 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.
Daniel 11
45And
he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in
the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end,
and none shall help him. (See Biblical
Research Institute
Report on the Eleventh Chapter of Daniel)
Daniel 9
16O
Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let
thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city
Jerusalem, thy holy mountain:
Rev. 16:
13And
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. 14For
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.
16And
he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew
tongue Armageddon.
Rev. 17
1And
there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials,
and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show
unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many
waters: 2With
whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the
inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of
her fornication. 3So
he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw
a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4And
the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked
with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in
her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her
fornication: 5And
upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON
THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6And
I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with
the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I
wondered with great admiration.
7And
the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell
thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth
her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns. 8The
beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of
the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell
on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the
book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold
the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 9And
here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are
seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. 10And
there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and
the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue
a short space. 11And
the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of
the seven, and goeth into perdition. 12And
the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour
with the beast. 13These
have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the
beast.
14These
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. 15And
he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore
sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. 16And
the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate
the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat
her flesh, and burn her with fire. 17For
God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree,
and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God
shall be fulfilled. 18And
the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth
over the kings of the earth.
Isaiah 14
12How
art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how
art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the
nations! 13For
thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the
mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14I
will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the
most High.
Isaiah 2
1The
word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem. 2And
it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain
of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations
shall flow unto it. 3And
many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the
mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he
will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for
out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD
from Jerusalem. 4And
he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people:
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against
nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 5O
house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the
LORD.
6Therefore
thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they
be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like
the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of
strangers. . .
10Enter
into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD,
and for the glory of his majesty. 11The
lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men
shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that
day. 12For
the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one
that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is
lifted up; and he shall be brought low: . .
17And
the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of
men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in
that day. 18And
the idols he shall utterly abolish. 19And
they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of
the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his
majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 20In
that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of
gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to
the moles and to the bats; 21To
go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged
rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty,
when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. 22Cease
ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein
is he to be accounted of? |

these territories, with the exception of Israel, are
now Moslem countries. One wonders whether Dan.

DISTRESS OF NATIONS WITH PERPLEXITY
"Thirdly, the record in Luke connects this event with a
specific condition to begin among the nations - "distress of nations with
perplexity." The word, "distress" is a translation of the Greek
word, sunoche (auvoxn),
meaning a constricted passage way, or being
"in the narrows." The prepositional phrase - "with perplexity" (ev air o
p la) - carries the force of inability to meet the demands placed on the
nations financially. The word, aporia, is
found in the papyri used in an imperial
edict, in this sense. The verb form is used of a weaver who disqualified
himself from public service because, though having means, they were inadequate
to meet the demands of the office. (The Vocabulary of the Greek New
Testament, p. 68)"

"Although it is true that there was a period in the
life of the Seventh-day Adventist Church when the
denomination took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic
viewpoint, and the term "hierarchy" was used in a
pejorative sense to refer to the papal form of
church governance,
that attitude on the church's
part was nothing more than a manifestation of
widespread anti-popery among conservative Protestant
denominations in the early part of this century and
the latter part of the last, and which has now
been consigned to the historical trash heap so far
as the Seventh-day Adventist Church is concerned."
