In the Hour of Decision

Today's Text Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. Joel 3:14

The prophecy of Revelation 13 declares that the power represented by the beast with lamblike horns shall cause “the earth and them which dwell therein” to worship the Papacy—there symbolized by the beast “like unto a leopard.” The beast with two horns is also to say “to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast;” and, furthermore, it is to command all, “both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond,” to receive “the mark of the beast.” ... The United States is the power represented by the beast with lamblike horns, and ... this prophecy will be fulfilled when the United States shall enforce Sunday observance, which Rome claims as the special acknowledgment of her supremacy. But in this homage to Papacy the United States will not be alone. The influence of Rome in the countries that once acknowledged her dominion, is still far from being destroyed. And prophecy foretells a restoration of her power. “I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” Revelation 13:3. The infliction of the deadly wound points to the downfall of the Papacy in 1798. After this, says the prophet, “His deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.” Paul states plainly that the man of sin will continue until the Second Advent.... In both the Old and the New World, the Papacy will receive homage in the honor paid to the Sunday institution, that rests solely upon the authority of the Roman Church.... God's Word has given warning of the impending danger; let this be unheeded, and the Protestant world will learn what the purposes of Rome really are, only when it is too late to escape the snare. The Great Controversy, 578, 579, 581. We should now seek a deep and living experience in the things of God. We have not a moment to lose. The Great Controversy, 601. Note: In some areas phrases have been omitted by the compilers for whatever reason. I have restored them as underlined text, that the full intent of the author may be given.

My Thoughts: My friend, we are truly living in the last days. The events that have been prophesied are already happening right before our eyes. The final events that is to lead all to choose between the worship of the One true God and the god of this world is soon to be upon us. All will be called out of Babylon to take their stand for or against Christ. Those in the remnant church have been taught that the first angels message is a call to the world to come back and worship God on the seventh-day sabbath, and as such have prepared themselves to keep the sabbath holy in the last days, but in reality the first angels message is a call back to worship of the Creator of heaven and earth. The day of worship is important, and all who worship the Creator will worship Him on the day that he has set aside, but there is nothing in the sabbath day that sanctifies us. "Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them." (Ezekiel 20:12). The sabbath is only a sign of the sanctification that comes from the LORD. How sad it is today that so many have lost sight of who the true Creator of heaven and earth is, and as such the first angels message must be given to the world. The true Creator of heaven and earth is the Father. "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:" (Ephesians 3:9). We are soon to be in the valley of decision when all are to choose between the worship of the One true God through His Son Jesus Christ, and the false god of Babylon. Those who are looking to the sabbath as the great test in the last days will find out too late that the sabbath cannot sanctify them; that their sabbath keeping cannot save them. My friend, it is only as we surrender our lives to Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, that we can be sanctified and prepared to stand firm for Him in these last days. Won't you look away from the false god of the trinity unto the One true God through His Son Jesus Christ today? God bless,
