say that 8esus6 murderers will see 8esus at the 0nd coming$ Thismay 'e re&erring to the 2rd coming$ A 7uestion + 8esus prayed &orhis murderers to 'e &orgiven, so why will they go to hell:

Chapter 11 The !scension of Christ

This sa"e 'esus$ which is taken up fro" you into hea&en$ shall so co"e in like"anner as ye ha&e seen hi" !o into hea&en.

Chapter 18 (ystery of )ni uity

ut althou!h this hea&en6darin! deception was to be suffered to be carried ondown throu!h ti"e until the second appearin! of 'esus$ yet throu!h all this ti"e oferror and deception$ od has not been left without a witness.

This deception is the doctrine that the Holy rest day has 'eenchanged &rom the @th day o& the wee( to the !st day$ This is onedeception that isn6t going away until 8esus comes$

3 was shown that the law of od would stand fast fore&er$ and e4ist in the newearth to all eternity.


5/42

This was Satan+s first lesson upon the i""ortality of the soul/ and he has carriedon this deception fro" that ti"e to the present$ and will carry it on until thecapti&ity of od+s children shall be turned.

Another &alse doctrine lasting until 8esus comes$

The soul that sinneth it shall die an e&erlastin! death/ a death that will last fore&er$where there will be no hope of a resurrection/ and then the wrath of od will beappeased.

ein!s who" od created ha&e chosen to rebel a!ainst his !o&ern"ent/ but 3 sawthat od did not shut the" up in hell to endure endless "isery. #e could not takethe" to hea&en/ for to brin! the" into the co"pany of the pure and holy would

"ake the" perfectly "iserable. od will not take the" to hea&en$ neither will hecause the" to suffer eternally. #e will destroy the" utterly$ and cause the" to beas thou!h they had not been$ and then his ustice will be satisfied. #e for"ed "anout of the dust of the earth$ and the disobedient and unholy will be consu"ed byfire$ and return to dust a!ain. 3 saw that the bene&olence and co"passion of od inthis$ should lead all to ad"ire his character$ and to adore hi"/ and after the wickedshall be destroyed fro" off the earth$ all the hea&enly host will say$ A"en7

Hell is not a'out writhing in ames &or all eternity, it will 'e aneternal death$

Chapter /" !nother )llustration

And those who ha&e scoffed and "ocked at the idea of the saints+ !oin! up$ will be&isited with the pla!ues of od$ and will reali8e that it is not a s"all thin! to triflewith hi".

As no plagues have &allen yet here in /arch, 0112, this evidentlyre&ers to the !)),111 who will 'e moc(ed and sco=ed at &or'elieving they will go up to heaven$

3 saw the rappin! delusion. Satan has power to brin! the appearance of for"s before us purportin! to be our relati&es and friends that now sleep in 'esus. 3t will be "ade to appear as if they were present$ the words they uttered while here$ whichwe were fa"iliar with$ will be spoken$ and the sa"e tone of &oice which they hadwhile li&in! will fall upon the ear. All this is to decei&e the world$ and ensnarethe" into the belief of this delusion.

an!el who it was. Said he$ 3t is Satan. #e is the conductor in the for" of an an!elof li!ht. #e has taken the world capti&e. They are !i&en o&er to stron! delusions$ to

All see"ed to be fir"ly united$ and

bound to!ether by the truth.

What a picture; All the world except a little company a'oard atrain to hell;;

This little co"pany looked care6worn$ as thou!h they had passed throu!h se&ere

trials and conflicts. And it see"ed as if the sun had ust appeared fro" behind thecloud$ and shone upon their countenances$ and caused the" to look triu"phant$ asthou!h their &ictories were nearly won.

3 saw that the 5ord had !i&en the world opportunity to disco&er the snare. This onethin! was e&idence enou!h for the *hristian if there were no other. There is nodifference "ade between the precious and the &ile.

The deciding &actor to not get a'oard the train is not well (nownamong us 5As$ We must ma(e a clear distinction 'etween rightand wrong, good and 'ad$

Tho"as Paine$ whose body has "ouldered to dust$ and who is to be called forth atthe end of the 1000 years$ at the second resurrection$ to recei&e his reward$ andsuffer the second death$ is purported by Satan to be in hea&en$ and hi!hly e4altedthere.

that it co"es throu!h Tho"as Paine$ who was his de&oted ser&ant while he li&ed.ut this is the "asterpiece of Satan. All this teachin! purportin! to be fro"

apostles$ and saints$ and wicked "en who ha&e died$ co"es directly fro" hisSatanic "a esty.

/any little (nown prophecies in this chapter ++ Here we see thatsome o& atan6s angels will act the part o& apostles who havedied, while others will act the part o& wic(ed persons who havedied$ This is very clear that at the time o& this prophecy, there will'e literal, physical mani&estations o& supernatural power$ How willit &eel to turn on the T or clic( the mouse and see Deter, 8ohn,Daul etc$, 9ust as you would expect them to loo(, saying manywonder&ul things$ nly those who (now their God will 'e a'le to(now that these are atan6s agents$ And can you imagine the

This should be enou!h to re"o&e the &ail fro" e&ery "ind and disco&er unto allthe dark$ "ysterious works of Satan/ 66 that he has !ot one who" he lo&ed so well$and who hated od so perfectly$ with the holy apostles and an!els in !lory:&irtually sayin! to the world and infidels$ 9o "atter how wicked you are/ no"atter whether you belie&e in od or the ible$ or disbelie&e/ li&e as you please$hea&en is your ho"e/ 66 for e&eryone knows that if Tho"as Paine is in hea&en$ andso e4alted$ they will surely !et there. This is so !larin! that all "ay see if they will.Satan is doin! now what he has been tryin! to do since his fall$ throu!h indi&idualslike Tho"as Paine. #e is$ throu!h his power and lyin! wonders$ tearin! away thefoundation of the *hristians+ hope$ and puttin! out their sun that is to li!hten the"in the narrow way to hea&en. #e is "akin! the world belie&e that the ible is no

#ere is a channel wholly de&oted to hi"self$ under his control$ and he can "akethe world belie&e what he will. The ook that is to ud!e hi" and his followers$ he

puts back into the shade$ ust where he wants it. The Sa&iour of the world he "akesto be no "ore than a co""on "an/ and as the Ro"an !uard that watched the to"bof 'esus$ spread the false and lyin! report that the chief priests and elders put intheir "outh$ so will the poor$ deluded followers of these pretended spiritual"anifestations$ repeat$ and try to "ake it appear$ that there is nothin!

back into the shade$ where they want hi"$ and then !et the world to look to the"and their lyin! wonders and "iracles$ which they declare far e4ceed the works of*hrist. Thus the world is taken in the snare$ and lulled to security/ not to find outtheir awful deception$ until the se&en last pla!ues are poured out. Satan lau!hs ashe sees his plan succeed so well$ and the whole world in the snare.

atan has carried out his plan well o& getting us to destroy love&or each other3

3 saw that Satan carried out his plans well. And as the ser&ants of od appointed"eetin!s$ Satan and his an!els understood their business$ and were on the !roundto hinder the work of od$ and he was constantly puttin! su!!estions into the"inds of od+s people. So"e he leads in one way$ and so"e in another$ alwaystakin! ad&anta!e of e&il traits in the brethren and sisters$ e4citin! and stirrin! uptheir natural beset"ents. 3f they are disposed to be selfish and co&etous$ Satan iswell pleased to take his stand by their side$ and then with all his power he seeks tolead the" to "anifest their besettin! sins. 3f the !race of od and the li!ht of truth"elt away these co&etous$ selfish feelin!s for a little$ and they do not obtain entire&ictory o&er the"$ when they are not under a sa&in! influence$ Satan co"es in andwithers up e&ery noble$ !enerous principle$ and they think that they ha&e to do too"uch. They beco"e weary of well6doin! and for!et all about the !reat sacrifice'esus "ade for the"$ to redee" the" fro" the power of Satan$ and hopeless"isery.

The interesting thing here that is not well+(nown, is there aretimes when we "are not under a saving in uence"$ This snu=s outthe idea o& 6once saved always saved6$

Satan took ad&anta!e of 'udas+ co&etous$ selfish disposition$ and led hi" to"ur"ur a!ainst the oint"ent (ary dedicated to 'esus. 'udas looked upon it as a!reat waste/ it "i!ht ha&e been sold and !i&en to the poor. #e cared not for the

And 3 saw that there were so"elike 'udas a"on! those who profess to be waitin! for their 5ord. Satan has thecontrol o&er the"$ but they know it not. 9ot a particle of co&etousness orselfishness can od approbate. #e hates it$ and he despises the prayers ande4hortations of those who possess it. As Satan sees his ti"e is short$ he leads the"on to be "ore and "ore selfish$ "ore and "ore co&etous$ and then e4ults as hesees the" wrapt up in the"sel&es$ close$ penurious and selfish. 3f the eyes of suchcould be opened$ they would see Satan in hellish triu"ph$ e4ultin! o&er the"$ andlau!hin! at the folly of those who accept his su!!estions$ and enter his snares.Then he and his an!els take the "ean and co&etous acts of these indi&iduals$ and

present the" to 'esus and the holy an!els$ and reproachfully say$ These are *hrist+sfollowers7 They are !ettin! ready to be translated7 Satan "arks their de&iatin!course$ and then co"pares it with the ible$ with passa!es which plainly rebuke

such thin!s$ and then presents it to annoy the hea&enly an!els$ sayin!$ These arefollowin! *hrist and his word7 These are the fruits of *hrist+s sacrifice andrede"ption7 An!els turn in dis!ust fro" the scene. od re2uires a constant doin!on the part of his people$ and when they beco"e weary of well and !enerousdoin!$ he beco"es weary of the". 3 saw that od was !reatly displeased with theleast "anifestation of selfishness on the part of his professed people$ for who"'esus has not spared his own precious life. )&ery selfish$ co&etous indi&idual willfall out by the way. 5ike 'udas$ who sold his 5ord$ they will sell !ood principles$and a noble$ !enerous disposition for a little of earth+s !ain. All such will be siftedout fro" od+s people. Those who want hea&en$ "ust$ with e&ery ener!y they

C !PTE6 33 The 0ins of %a ylon

3 saw the state of the different churches since the second an!el proclai"ed their

fall. They ha&e been !rowin! "ore and "ore corrupt/ yet they bear the na"e of bein! *hrist+s followers. 3t is i"possible to distin!uish the" fro" the world. Their"inisters take their te4t fro" the ord$ but preach s"ooth thin!s. The natural heartfeels no ob ection to this. 3t is only the spirit and power of the truth$ and thesal&ation of *hrist$ that is hateful to the carnal heart. There is nothin! in the

popular "inistry that stirs the wrath of Satan$ "akes the sinner tre"ble$ or appliesto the heart and conscience the fearful realities of a ud!"ent soon to co"e.

icked "en are !enerally pleased with a for" without true !odliness$ and theywill aid and support such a reli!ion. Said the an!el$ 9othin! less than the wholear"or of ri!hteousness can o&erco"e$ and retain the &ictory o&er the powers ofdarkness. Satan has taken full possession of the churches as a body. The sayin!sand doin!s of "en are dwelt upon instead of the plain cuttin! truths of the word of

od. Said the an!el$ The friendship and spirit of the world are at en"ity with od.hen truth in its si"plicity and stren!th$ as it is in 'esus$ is brou!ht to bear a!ainst

the spirit of the world$ it awakens the spirit of persecution at once. (any$ &ery"any$ who profess to be *hristians$ ha&e not known od. The character of the

3 saw that since 'esus had left the #oly place of the hea&enly Sanctuary$ and hadentered within the second &ail$ the churches were left as were the 'ews/ and theyha&e been fillin! up with e&ery unclean and hateful bird. 3 saw !reat ini2uity and&ileness in the churches/ yet they profess to be *hristians. Their profession$ their

prayers and their e4hortations$ are an abo"ination in the si!ht of od. Said thean!el$ od will not s"ell in their asse"blies. Selfishness$ fraud and deceit are

practiced by the" without the repro&in!s of conscience. And o&er all these e&iltraits they throw the cloak of reli!ion. 3 was shown the pride of the no"inalchurches. od was not in their thou!hts/ but their carnal "inds dwell uponthe"sel&es. They decorate their poor "ortal bodies$ and then look upon the"sel&es

with satisfaction and pleasure. 'esus and the an!els looked upon the" in an!er.Said the an!el$ Their sins and pride ha&e reached unto hea&en. Their portion is prepared. 'ustice and ud!"ent ha&e slu"bered lon!$ but will soon awake.=en!eance is "ine$ and 3 will repay$ saith the 5ord. The fearful threatenin!s of thethird an!el are to be reali8ed$ and they will drink the wrath of od. Aninnu"erable host of e&il an!els are spreadin! the"sel&es o&er the whole land. Thechurches and reli!ious bodies are crowded with the". And they look upon the


20/42

reli!ious bodies with e4ultation/ for the cloak of reli!ion co&ers the !reatest cri"esand ini2uity.

46ve never seen anywhere else such power&ul language regardingthe unday+(eeping churches$ They are in a similar position as the

8ews, and even their prayers are an a'omination;; houldn6t we'e energetically calling them out:

These professed *hristians read of the sufferin!s of the "artyrs$ and tears coursedown their cheeks.

C !PTE6 35 The Third (essa#e Closed

3 was pointed down to the ti"e when the third an!el+s "essa!e was closin!. The power of od had rested upon his people. They had acco"plished their work$ and

were prepared for the tryin! hour before the". They had recei&ed the latter rain$ orrefreshin! fro" the presence of the 5ord$ and the li&in! testi"ony had beenre&i&ed.

3 saw an!els hurryin! to and fro in hea&en. An an!el returned fro" the earth with awriter+s ink6horn by his side$ and reported to 'esus that his work was done$ that thesaints were nu"bered and sealed. Then 3 saw 'esus$ who had been "inisterin!

before the ark containin! the ten co""and"ents$ throw down the censer. #e raisedhis hands upward$ and with a loud &oice said$ It is done. And all the an!elic hostlaid off their crowns as 'esus "ade the sole"n declaration$ #e that is un ust$ lethi" be un ust still/ and he which is filthy$ let hi" be filthy still/ and he that isri!hteous$ let hi" be ri!hteous still/ and he that is holy$ let hi" be holy still.

Even o& the saints, the !)),111 living ones who will go to heaven,there will 'e worries right up to the end, even a&ter the Close o&Dro'ation$ Even in the wilderness the wic(ed will come out and.nd and surround the saints$ tudying a'out 8aco'6s wrestling

3 was pointed back to faithful 9oah. The rain descended$ the floods ca"e. 9oahand his fa"ily had entered the ark$ and od shut the" in. 9oah had faithfully

warned the inhabitants of the old world$ while they had "ocked and derided hi".And as the waters descended upon the earth$ and as one after another were bein!drowned$ they beheld that ark that they had "ade so "uch sport of$ ridin! safelyupon the waters$ preser&in! the faithful 9oah and his fa"ily. So 3 saw that the

people of od$ who had warned the world of his co"in! wrath$ would bedeli&ered. They had faithfully warned the inhabitants of the earth$ and od wouldnot suffer the wicked to destroy those who were e4pectin! translation$ and whowould not bow to the decree of the beast$ or recei&e his "ark. 3 saw that if thewicked were per"itted to slay the saints$ Satan and all his e&il host$ and all whohate od$ would be !ratified.

As the saints left the cities and &illa!es$ they were pursued by the wicked. Theyraised their swords to kill the saints$ but they broke$ and fell as powerless as astraw. An!els of od shielded the saints. As they cried day and ni!ht fordeli&erance$ their cry ca"e up before od.


33/42

this 'e wonder&ul, a super+special privilege &or those o& us wholive and die- (eeping the a''ath;;

The sky opened and shut$ and was in co""otion. The "ountains shook like a reedin the wind$ and cast out ra!!ed rocks all around. The sea boiled like a pot$ andcast out stones upon the land. And as od spake the day and hour of 'esus+ co"in!$and deli&ered the e&erlastin! co&enant to his people$ he spake one sentence$ andthen paused$ while the words were rollin! throu!h the earth. The 3srael of odstood with their eyes fi4ed upwards$ listenin! to the words as they ca"e fro" the"outh of 'eho&ah$ and rolled throu!h the earth like peals of loudest thunder. 3t wasawfully sole"n. At the end of e&ery sentence the saints shouted$ lory7 #allelu ah7Their countenances were li!hted up with the !lory of od/ and they shone with the!lory as did (oses+ face when he ca"e down fro" Sinai.

Then co""enced the ubilee$ when the land should rest. 3 saw the pious sla&e risein triu"ph and &ictory$ and shake off the chains that bound hi"$ while his wicked"aster was in confusion$ and knew not what to do/ for the wicked could notunderstand the words of the &oice of od.
