04_01 What You Need to Hear
Introductions to Chapter 4.
This fourth Chapter is designed to bring spirituality into our personal thinking. It opens with document #04_01, What You Need to Hear.
In most of the Christian churches of today, you are hearing that which is not truth
– the idea that you can be saved while practicing sin. Jesus came to save us from our sins, not in our sins! If sin doesn’t end, suffering and death will not end!
Take note of what you are hearing in the churches today – “The Ten Commandments have been nailed to the cross!” Do you really believe that? If the Commandments could have been changed, Jesus, the Son of God, would not have had to die in our place! God could have just proclaimed that they weren’t necessary to eternal life. No, Jesus paid the penalty of sin – sin is the transgression or breaking of the Law – so that we could start with a clean slate, to war against sin in our lives. Remember Romans 3:25? Baptism is the washing away of the sin record of the past, to begin again, born again, to live unto righteousness – the keeping of the Law of Liberty. Read, right now, James 2:10 to 12. We are saved, by God’s Grace, through faith: but because we are saved, we want to keep God’s Law, and this is the process of sanctification. Re-read the above till you are sure you understand it!
Exodus 20 is the location in the Bible of the Ten Commandments.
It is God’s intent from the first, that we understand the principle that because we are saved, we “shall not” (His promise) do evil in our completed saved condition! A stop sign at an intersection is a law of liberty. It cannot make you stop. You are at liberty to break that law, but it can have fatal consequences. Just so the Law of God. But it is the Law of eternal life!
Scripture: Revelation 14, verse 6 (read)
Title: What You NEED to Hear.
The Three Angel’s Messages are full of prophecy: time and symbolic prophecies, and a whole lot of history. But we must not neglect the fullness of the First Angel’s message. He proclaims that “the hour of His Judgment is come!” But we may want to not notice that his message begins with “…having the Everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.”
Everyone that dwells on the earth is to hear the Everlasting Gospel: not the “good news” you would rather hear, but the good news you need to hear. What do you need to hear? How you can be saved from your sins. What would you rather hear? How you can be saved in your sins! – while you continue to sin.
Sin is the transgression of the Law. – the breaking of the Commandments of God. First John, chapter 3, verse 4. The wages of sin is death, eternal death! But the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6, verse 23.
The hour of His Judgment is come! We shall all be Judged by the Royal Law of Ten Commandments. So says James in James 2, verses 8 to 12. Jesus Himself teaches that we inherit eternal life by keeping the Commandments in Mt. 19, verses 16 to 19. (READ THIS right now)!
When Judged by God, what question will be answered? After your conversion, did you continuously not want to sin, any sin, any more?
You see, that’s what the Investigative Judgment in Daniel 7 is all about. That’s why the books of record are opened. At the end of your life, which might be this very day, or tomorrow, or the day of your last sin, did your life reveal that you wanted to continue in sin, yet hoped to be saved in your sins? Or did you constantly want to overcome sin in your lifetime, by the power of Jesus on the throne in your mind? If the door of probation closes while you still live, which is fully possible, since we are way along in the hour of His Judgment, which side of the cancer problem called
sinfulness will you be on?
Jesus came to save His people from their sins. Mt. 1, verse 21.
Oh people, don’t you see why the Christian churches are failing today? The hundreds of kinds of churches today, have been Judged for their message, and found fallen, because their Gospel is a false gospel, that you can be saved in your sins, while you continue to sin.
Am I wrong? Sin is the breaking of the Law of God! If you worship in the Catholic church, or the Church of England, you worship Mary, that idol goddess, the “image” of the “beast!” Jesus foretold that soon all of the churches will make an image to the “beast” and bow down and worship it.
And it is North America in prophecy that will cause it to happen! Our governments, which are called “the false prophet” in Revelation 16, verse 13, “…shall cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed!” Revelation 13, from verse 11 to the end of the chapter.
You don’t think it is possible for it to happen any time soon? You don’t know, yet, what is coming that will bring it suddenly to pass! Jesus knows. Jesus foretold it. We’ll get to that in detail in another document, soon.
But there is more, for which they are Judged “fallen.” You are now aware that the “beast” has a “mark” of its power in this world. It thought to change the very law of God and claims to have done so! It tore out, and threw away the 2nd Commandment, regarding worship of idols. But that is the small part of its “mark.” The big part, still to do with worship, is that it tried to change the Sabbath of Jesus, the memorial of His Creation power! It is the seal of Who He is and why He is worthy to be worshipped.
The Fourth Commandment, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy” is still there in the Bible. But almost all of Christianity today keeps Sunday as the day of worship, in obedience to Rome, while it breaks the Commandment of God!
The church you know, whatever denomination it may be, rejected the light that revealed the true Sabbath, between 1844 and 1846, and was Judged “fallen” in SIN! – breaking God’s Fourth Commandment, and willfully continuing to break it, after the light came! Thus they turned away from worship of Him who made heaven and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters, and continued to keep the commandment of the Papacy, which causes them, without knowing it, to worship the Pagan sun-god! Catholicism is overflowing with Pagan rites, and Christians of all stripes are partaking
of her sins and will receive of her plagues!
The Bible was kept from the people through the dark ages. But since 1798, the light has come back, like the dawning of the morning. The Bible was Providentially returned to the people. It has been returned to you. What will you do with its truths? Will you continue to receive the “mark” of the “beast?” Or will you come out of Babylon, out of her confusion of the truth, and worship Him who made heaven and earth?
It won’t be easy to keep the Sabbath holy. Satan is doing his best, short of force, to make it hard. But soon now he will be enabled to do his worst to force you to break God’s Law. According to Revelation 13, vs.14 and 15, he will start with causing governments to kill those who refuse to worship an image, and thus break the second Commandment. After that limited success, he will go on to cause the people to break the Sabbath Commandment. Verses 16 and 17 have to do with enforcing the “mark” of the “beast” which is the veneration of Sun-day in the place of the Bible Sabbath of the fourth Commandment.
Why is it called Sunday on your calendar? All of the days of the week, on our calendar, are named from the Pagan worship of the sun, moon, and planets of our solar system! This is most clear in the French rendering of the days on the calendar in Quebec. Sunday is the day of worship of the sun. Lundi – moon’s day, is next. Then Mardi, Mercredi, Vendredi:
can you see the planet names? All of this so-called Pagan worship was instituted in Babylon in ancient times, in rebellion against the God who might again destroy them with a flood! These gods are not real. They can’t move, or live in reality. It is “…the spirits of devils, working miracles” (Rev. 16, verse 14), that will cause superstitious people to worship such false gods.
Worship of any other “god” is worship of Satan by default since these gods are not real! If you are still breaking God’s Ten Commandment Law then, when false worship is enforced, it will be too late to build the strength of conviction needed to keep them and stand till Jesus comes to deliver us!
Your next homework pamphlets are crucial to the messages of the Three Angels of Revelation 14. You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; but they are they that testify of Jesus. Jesus is the center of the prophecies of Jesus. His Gospel is the good news that you can be saved from your sins, by the power of Jesus in you. If you will to do His will, you shall receive Him. Jesus said: “If you love Me, keep My Commandments, and I will pray the Father, and He shall give you the Holy Spirit, that He may abide with you for ever…I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.”
Study this week like your life depended on it, for the gift of eternal life,
your eternal life, does depend on it!
