TRANSCRIPT
AT MIDNIGHT THERE WAS A CRY MADE,
BEHOLD, THE BRIDEGROOM
COMETH! GO YE OUT
TO MEET HIM.
MATTHEW 25:6
Then shall the kingdom of heaven be
likened unto ten virgins, which took
their lamps, and went forth to meet the
bridegroom.MATTHEW 25:1
THE SECOND ADVENTMOVEMENT
William Miller.
Daniel 8:14
Unto two thousand and three hundred days, then shall the
sanctuary
be cleansed.
THE FIRST ANGEL’S MESSAGE
Fear God, and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment is come. Revelation 14:7
MILLER’S MESSAGE:
Jesus will come sometime between
Spring 1843 to Spring of 1844
to judge the earth.
SPRING, 1844
THE BRIDEGROOM DID NOT APPEAR!
The Churches expected
the Second Advent Movement
to collapse.But it did not. Why?
AFTER THE FIRST DISAPPOINTMENT,
SPRING, 1844
“While the Bridegroom
TARRIED, they all slumbered
and slept.MATTHEW 25:5.
HABBAKUK 2:2
“Write the vision,
and make it plain
upon tables,
that he may run
that readeth it.”
HABBAKUK 2:3
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at
the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it
tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Spring, 1844
The churches as systems had rejected
the first angel’s message, and had
mocked and scorned those who gave it.
ANOTHER MESSAGE
God’s people finally saw that
1) the Protestant church systems were focused on the
world, and
2) that there was ANOTHER message after the first angel that applied to them.
THE SECOND ANGEL’S MESSAGE
Babylon the great (apostate church systems) is fallen, is fallen, and is become the
habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a
cage of every unclean and hateful bird. Rev. 18:2.
GOD HOLDS US ACCOUNTABLE FOR CORPORATE SIN
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her
sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Rev 18:4
AND AT MIDNIGHT THERE WAS A CRY MADE,
BEHOLD, THE BRIDEGROOM
COMETH!
GO YE OUTTO MEET HIM.
MATTHEW 25:6
SUMMER, 1844
“Then I saw these disappointed ones rise and in harmony with the second angel proclaim, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him." The light from the angels penetrated
the darkness everywhere.” EW 248
SECOND ADVENT MOVEMENT
50,000 LEAVE THE FALLEN
CHURCH SYSTEMS
MIDNIGHT CRY
Depart ye, depart ye, GO YE OUT from thence, touch no unclean thing;
GO YE OUT of the midst of her; BE YE CLEAN, that bear the
vessels of the LORD. Isa. 52:11
2 CORINTHIANS 6:14
What fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness?
and what communion hath
light with darkness?
2 CORINTHIANS 6:17,18
…Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing;
and I will receive you.And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be
my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
“The great mass of them [200 converts] have not joined any of the existing sects: they stand by themselves.
Nearly all such are living, thriving Christians, and strong in the belief of the speedy advent. …The others have the spiritual asthma; it is hard for them
to breathe.”
LETTER OF SILAS HAWLEY, AUGUST 15, 1843.
EXPERIENCE OF BROTHER N. TRULLDecember 20, 1843.
“We hold our meetings separate from the church as usual; and the church thinking
our names not worthy a place on their book, on Tuesday last rejected five of us
from their ranks, but I trust our names are all registered in the Lamb’s book of life.”
LEAVING THE METHODIST CHURCHNOV., 1843, From Life Sketches, by Ellen White.
Most of my father's family were full believers in
the advent, and for bearing testimony to this glorious doctrine seven of us were at one time cast out of the
Methodist Church.
From The Midnight Cry, February 8, 1844.
Elder Galusha …tendered his resignation last sabbath, and is now free to preach the whole truth without
being desired to conform his preaching to the taste
of a Laodicean Church.
From The Midnight Cry, by Charles Fitch, March 14, 1844.
I now wish to say through your paper to the world, that I do from this time regard myself, and herby proclaim myself to all men, as free and independent of all ecclesiastical domination, as a member of no sect, and a subscriber to no creed.
John P. Bell, April 3, 1844.
“For this hope’s sake, several of us have
been recently excluded from the North Baptist
Church.”
G. W. Spaulding, April 10, 1844.
“At this juncture the advent brethren quietly retired to a
private house, and have since had separate meetings
to comfort and exhort one another as the Scriptures
require.”
Thomas Smith, April 10, 1844.
“I am expecting the end of all things is at hand, and under the conviction of
this truth, I have withdrawn from the M.E. Church and ministry, in
whose communion I have lived for more than 23 years, and have been
an accredited preacher among them 20 years.”
April 18, 1844 S.T. Vanderbeck
“I have tendered my resignation to the
Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church. …I have been a member of that body
for nine years past.”
June 26, 1844 JOSIAH LITCH
True, some have left the churches with which they were connected. And why? The answer is obvious in many instances. It is because they have been gagged and muzzled there, and forbidden to talk about their coming Lord.
Hannah White, June 26, 1844.
“I then felt it my duty to ask my dismission from the church. Yes, I can say that I was then willing to sacrifice my good
name in the world with nominal friends, reputation and all, for
Christ’s sake.”
Romanists have persisted in bringing
against Protestants the charge of heresy and
willful separation from the true church.
Great Controversy, 51
But these accusations apply rather to themselves. They are the ones who laid down the
banner of Christ and departed from "the faith which was
once delivered unto the saints."Jude 3.
Great Controversy, 51
OCTOBER 22, 1844The 2300 days end.
The 10th day of the 7th Jewish month.
The anti-typical Day of Atonement.
God’s people expected Jesus to come to this earth to cleanse it.
The Great Disappointment.
ANOTHER MESSAGE AFTER THE SECOND ANGEL
Christ enters Most Holy Place.
Ten commandments
and Sabbath seen.
The Third Angel’s
Message is to be given.
The THIRD ANGEL’S MESSAGE
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,…
Rev 14:9,10
The THIRD ANGEL’S MESSAGE
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they
that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Rev 14:12
SDA CHURCH RAISED UP TO PREACH THE 3 A’S MESSAGES
“In a special sense Seventh-day Adventists have been set in
the world as watchmen and light bearers. To them has been
entrusted the last warning for a perishing world.”
Testimonies, Vol.9, 19.
SDA CHURCH RAISED UP TO PREACH THE 3 A’S MESSAGES
“They have been given a work of the most solemn import—the
proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages. There
is no other work of so great importance. They are to allow nothing else to absorb their
attention.” Testimonies, Vol.9, 19.
JAMES WHITE
“The third angel’s message was, and still is, a WARNING to the saints to “hold fast,”
and not go back, and “receive” the marks which the virgin band
got rid of, during the second angel’s cry.”
Word to the Little Flock, 11.
STAY ON THE FIRM PLATFORM
“I saw a company who stood well guarded and firm, giving no
countenance to those who would unsettle the established faith of
the body. God looked upon them with approbation.”
Early Writings, 258,259.
A STRUCTURE OF TRUTH!
I was shown three steps-- the first, second, and third angels' messages.
Said my accompanying angel, “Woe to him who shall move a block or stir a pin
of these messages. The true understanding of these messages is of vital importance. The destiny of souls
hangs upon the manner in which they are received.” Early Writings, 258,259.
IN OR OUT OF TRUTH
The mighty shaking has commenced and will go on, and all will be shaken out who are not willing to take a bold and unyielding stand for the truth and to sacrifice for God and His
cause. Early Writings, p.50 (1850’s)

AT MIDNIGHT THERE WAS A CRY MADE,
BEHOLD, THE BRIDEGROOM
COMETH! GO YE OUT
TO MEET HIM.
MATTHEW 25:6
“At midnight”
“The coming of the bridegroom was at midnight—the darkest hour. So the
coming of Christ will take place in the darkest period of this earth’s history.” COL
414
“At midnight”The days of Noah and Lot pictured the condition of the world just before the
coming of the Son of man. The Scriptures pointing forward to this time declare that Satan will work with all power and "with
all deceivableness of unrighteous-ness.“2 Thess. 2:9-12. COL 414
“At midnight”His working is plainly revealed by the rapidly increasing darkness,
the multitudinous errors, heresies, and delusions of these last days. Not only is Satan leading the world
captive, but his deceptions are leavening the professed churches of
our Lord Jesus Christ. COL 414
“At midnight”The great apostasy will develop into
darkness deep as midnight, impenetrable as sackcloth of hair. To God’s people it will be a night of trial, a
night of weeping, a night of persecution for the truth’s sake. But out of that night
of darkness God's light will shine. COL 414
1890--REVIEW & HERALD
I am often referred to the parable of the ten virgins, five of
whom were wise, and five foolish. This parable has been and will be
fulfilled to the very letter, for it has a special application to this time, and, like the third angel’s message, has been fulfilled and will continue to be present truth
till the close of time.
MATTHEW 25:5
While the bridegroom tarried, they
all slumbered and slept.

“I was shown a platform, braced by solid timbers—the
truths of the Word of God. Some one high in responsibility
in the medical work was directing this man and that man
to loosen the timbers supporting this platform.” 1SM 204
1904—VISION“Then I heard a voice saying, "Where
are the watchmen that ought to be standing on the walls of Zion? Are they asleep? This foundation was
built by the Master Worker, and will stand storm and tempest. Will they permit this man to present doctrines that deny the past experience of the
people of God? The time has come to take decided action." 1SM 204
1904“The enemy of souls has sought
to bring in the supposition that a great reformation was to take place among Seventh-day Adventists, and that this reformation would consist in giving up the doctrines which stand as
the pillars of our faith, and engaging in a process of reorganization. Were this reformation to take
place, what would result?” 1SM 204
1904
“The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has
given to the remnant church, would be discarded. Our
religion would be changed. The fundamental principles
that have sustained the work for the last fifty years would
be accounted as error.” 1SM 204
“A new organization would be established. Books of a new
order would be written. A system of intellectual philosophy would be
introduced. The founders of this system would go into the cities,
and do a wonderful work.” 1SM 204
“The Sabbath of course, would be lightly regarded,
as also the God who created it. Nothing would
be allowed to stand in the way of the new
movement.” 1SM 204
The leaders would teach that virtue is better than vice, but
God being removed, they would place their dependence on
human power, which, without God, is worthless. Their
foundation would be built on the sand, and storm and tempest
would sweep away the structure. 1SM 204
“Who has authority to begin such a movement? We have our Bibles. We have our experience, attested to by the miraculous working of the Holy
Spirit. We have a truth that admits of no compromise. Shall we not REPUDIATE
everything that is not in harmony with this truth?”
…In the providence of God, the errors
that have been coming in

1955-56 MARTIN & BARNHOUSE
SDA leaders secretly meet with Protestant representatives, Martin and Barnhouse. They trade away two vital doctrines of Seventh-day Adventism in order to be ACCEPTED by the fallen Babylonian churches.
WHO JESUS IS-- LOST
The SDA leaders lost the real Jesus when they traded away the doctrine of Christ coming in our sinful flesh...
…for a Catholic Jesus who came in sinless flesh.
1John 4:3
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, …and even now already is it in
the world.
WHERE JESUS IS—LOST
The SDA leaders lost where Jesus is when they agreed that Christ’s work in the Most Holy Place of the
heavenly sanctuary was not VITAL for our salvation.
WHERE JESUS IS—LOST
Instead, “it was all done at the
cross.”

Faithful watchman on the wall of Zion, M.L. Andreasen PROTESTS! Sends out Letters to the Churches

He that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. John 12:35
Not knowing who Jesus is, and where He is,
they were left to stumble in the darkness. They
began to walk in a false ecumenical light.
1962-64—VATICAN 2 COUNCILNow that the SDA church shook
hands with fallen Protestantism, there was no more opposition to Rome.
Vatican II Council was the first time that the Roman Catholic
Church embraced the ecumenical movement.
They invited the secular and religious “press” to observe the
proceedings of Vatican II in Rome.
1962-64 VATICAN II
Arthur S. Maxwell was one of the observers. Upon his
return, he called for the scrapping of the old
evangelistic sermons on the Papacy, and a
completely new approach.
1962-64 VATICAN IIArthur S. Maxwell: “I sat closer to the Pope than any of the cardinals.
I was only forty feet away from him for three or four hours. …
Nobody will ever believe me, that I sat so long, so near to His
Holiness.”“…Then another aspect of His
new friendliness, was the pope’s opening speech. …Do you know
what his subject was? Love.”
1962-64 VATICAN IIAlso observing, B.B.Beach established
contact with Catholic leaders and Lukas Vischer, the key WCC observer. They became good friends and set up the first meetings between
the WCC and SDAs,
which took place
from 1969-1973.
1965B.B.Beach

representative
to the World Council of Churches and many

1968
Like the Roman Catholic Church, the SDA Church becomes a member of the key Faith and Order Commission of the WCC, while not being a member of the WCC directly.
SOMETIME IN THE 1960’S
SDA Adventist Book and Bible Houses, later re-named “Adventist Book Centers,” become purveyors of Babylonian wine, selling books by popular apostate Protestant authors.
1973: So Much In Common
After years of meetings together near Geneva,
B.B. Beach and WCC
write a book entitled,
So Much in Common. (3 A’s Messages forgotten.)

There has been for years, in churches

1976—Neal Wilson, Sworn statement.
“Although it is true that …the Seventh-day Adventist Church …took a distinctly anti-Roman Catholic viewpoint, …that attitude on the Church’s part was nothing more than a manifestation of widespread anti-popery among conservative protestant denominations.”
1976 Neal Wilson,Sworn statement.
…and which has now been
assigned to the historical trash
heap so far as the SDA Church is concerned.”

“The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has
given to the remnant church, would be
discarded”—THROWN INTO THE TRASH HEAP.
1977—B.B. BEACH GIVES GOLD MEDAL TO THE POPE
A symbol of the SDA church was placed in the hand of the pope. The words of the 4th commandment are in the Catholic cathecism.
1979--MINISTRY MAGAZINE GOES ECUMENICAL
Ministry magazine is sent to 37,000 non SDA clergy “representing a myriad of faith persuasions.” Only 16,000 go to SDA ministers.
“The Ministerial Association is dedicated to stimulating supportive dialogue among denominations.”
1980—CATHOLIC GOD APPEARS
Using subtle wording, the worship of
the Catholic concept
of the Trinity is officially
incorporated into the 27
statements of belief at
the 1980 Dallas General
Conference.
From 2006 Sabbath School Quarterly
“TheTriune God.” “ ‘There is one God: Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit, a unity of three co-eternal Persons.’ “In other words, Adventists—along with
millions of other Christians—believe in the triune nature of God; that is, there is one God who exists as three Persons.”
“What analogies—such as …a three-pronged fork—can help someone understand the idea of how one God can be composed of three equal Persons?”
EZEKIEL 8:5
I lifted up mine eyes …and behold northward at the gate of the altar this
image of jealousy in the entry.
EZEKIEL 8:6Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great
abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I
should go far off from my sanctuary?
But turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater
abominations.

HOW TO JOIN THE WCC?
Belief in the Trinity
is the require-
ment for
membership.
George Knight, Ministry, Oct., 1993
“Most of the founders of Seventh-day Adventism would not be able to join
the church today if they had to subscribe to the denomination’s
Fundamental Beliefs. More specifically, most would
not be able to agree to belief number 2, which deals with the
doctrine of the trinity.”
1980In the 27 Fundamental
Beliefs which were voted at Dallas in 1980, there was no definition of the
second angel’s message, no identification of
Babylon, her fall, and God’s call to come out of
her.
1980
In the 27 Fundamental Beliefs there was no
definition of the Third Angel’s message, no identification of
the beast, his image, or the mark.
PREDICTION FULFILLED!
“The principles of truth that God in His wisdom has given to the

And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked,
behold a hole in the wall.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall,
behold a door.
EZEKIEL 8:9
And he said unto me, Go in, and
behold the wicked abominations that
they do here.
1981— “SDA” TRADEMARKED
Now a commercial entity, the General Conference hires a Catholic lawyer to
trademark various names, including
“Seventh-day Adventist” under commercial law.

Many little Seventh-day Adventist churches, not sponsored by the Gen. Conf. are threatened with a commercial lawsuit for using the spiritual name that identifies them as standing on the firm platform of
truth—the 3 Angel’s messages.

Numbers 25:6-8And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from

went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them
through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the

became known that the same WLF was dialoguing with the Vatican on precisely the same topic of
justification by faith.”

United Nations
General Secretary,
Kofi Annan asks for
“continued support.”
2000--Kofi Annan Message“You may think that the United Nations, an inter-governmental organization, has no room for religion. …I would ask you
to think differently. I would ask you to take another look. The UN is a
tapestry, not only of suits and saris, but also of clerics collars, nun’s
habits, and llama’s robes. Religions may manifest themselves in widely
different practices and belief systems.”
2000--Kofi Annan Message
“The UN may display the outward signs of secular pursuits, but at
the heart we are dealing in universal values. That is what the UN is good at: to be kind, tolerant,
just, or merciful. No single religion can claim a monopoly
on such teachings.”
2000
The “Meeting of U.S. Church Leaders,” an annual gathering of heads of Christian churches from
around the nation, has elected SDA Dr. Bert B. Beach as the vice chair of the group’s steering committee.
Beach, …has represented the Adventist Church at these
meetings for the last 15 years.
2000-“Meeting of U.S. Church Leaders”
Beach said: …“We pray together, enjoy devotional
meetings, and form friendships; It’s simply an opportunity to meet,
consult, and recharge; to put away hostilities and worship
together as fellow Christians.”
Early Writings, 55,56.
“I turned to look at the company who were still bowed before the throne [in the Holy Place], They did not know
that Jesus had left it. Satan appeared to be by the throne,
trying to carry on the work of God. I saw them look up to the throne, and
pray, "Father, give us Thy Spirit."
Early Writings, 55,56.
“Satan would then breathe upon them an unholy influence; in it
there was light and much power, but no sweet love, joy,
and peace. Satan's object was to keep them deceived and to draw
back and deceive God's children.”

“It is a basic Christian doctrine that God is a Trinity of three persons (‘modes of eternal manifestation’) having one substance (essence or being).”
“It took the Adventist Church until far into the 19th century to agree that the doctrine of the Trinity was indeed biblical and belonged among the fundamental Adventist beliefs.”

2002—SDA DIALOGUES WITH ROME
Over a series of three meetings, starting in 2000, topics include the structural organization of the Adventist Church,
and issues such as
evangelism,
proselytism, and
religious freedom.
TESTIMONIES, VOL. 1, 578
I dreamed that I was in Battle Creek
looking out from the side glass at the door
and saw a company marching
up to the house, two and two.
They looked stern and deter-
mined. I knew them well and
turned to open the parlor door
to receive them, but thought
I would look again.
TESTIMONIES, VOL. 1, 578
The scene was changed. The company now
presented the appearance of a Catholic procession.
One bore in his hand a cross, another a reed.
TESTIMONIES, VOL. 1, 578
And as they approached, the one carrying a reed made a circle
around the house, saying three times: "This house is
proscribed. The goods must be confiscated. They have spoken
against our holy order."
TESTIMONIES, VOL. 1, 578
Terror seized me, and I ran through the house, out of the
north door, and found myself in the midst of a company, some of whom I knew, but I dared
not speak a word to them for fear of being betrayed.”
2002--THE POPE INVITES
CLOSE FRIENDS TO ASSISI 33 cardinals, 11 patriarchs from the
Orthodox churches, 50 Islamic leaders, Jewish rabbis... Protestant bodies will be
represented by Konrad Kaiser, the secretary-general of the WCC; Anglican Bishop Richard Garrard of Rome; Setri Nyomi of the WARC; Cecil Robeck of the Pentecostal church; …and Bert Beach of the Seventh-Day
Adventists. Representatives of Buddhism, Jainism,
Sikhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and traditional African faiths will also come.
2002—POPE’S RELIGIOUS GATHERING AT ASSISITHE WHOLE WORLD ON BOARD
THE WHOLE WORLD ON BOARD
“All these participants are expected to be
aboard a specially chartered train that will leave Rome for Assisi on the morning of Jan. 24.”
THE WHOLE WORLD ON BOARD?
A train of cars was shown me, going
with the speed of lightning. The angel bade me look carefully. I fixed my eyes upon the train. It seemed that the whole world was on board, that
there could not be one left.
THE WHOLE WORLD ON BOARD?
Said the angel, "They are binding in bundles ready to burn." Then he showed me the conductor, who appeared
like a stately, fair person, whom all the passengers looked up to
and reverenced."
THE WHOLE WORLD ON BOARD?
I was perplexed and asked my attending angel who it was. He
said, "It is Satan. He is the conductor in the form of an angel of light. He has taken the world captive. They are given over to
strong delusions, to believe a lie, that they may be damned.
THE WHOLE WORLD ON BOARD?
This agent, the next highest in order to him, is the engineer, and other of his agents are
employed in different offices as he may need them, and they are all going with lightning
speed to perdition."
NO! NOT ALL ON BOARD
I asked the angel if there were none left. He bade me look in an opposite direction, and I saw a
little company traveling a narrow pathway.
EW 88,89
NO! NOT ALL ON BOARD
All seemed to be firmly united, bound together by the truth, in bundles, or companies.
Said the angel, "The third angel is binding, or sealing, them in
bundles for the heavenly garner."

PREDICTION FULFILLED!
The leaders would teach that virtue is better than vice, but God being removed, they would place their dependence on human power,
which, without God, is worthless. Their foundation would be built on the sand, and storm and tempest would
sweep away the structure.” 1 SM 204
2005—NEW BAPTISMAL VOWS• 1. Do you accept Jesus Christ as your personal
Savior and Lord, and do you desire to live your life in a saving relationship with Him?
• 2. Do you accept the teachings of the Bible as expressed in the Statement of Fundamental Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and do you pledge by God's grace to live your life in harmony with these teachings?
• 3. Do you desire to be baptized as a public expression of your belief in Jesus Christ, to be accepted into the fellowship of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, and to support the Church and its mission as a faithful steward by your personal influence, tithes and offerings, and a life of service?
GREAT CONTROVERSY 596
• The Roman Church reserves to the clergy the right to interpret the Scriptures. On the ground that ecclesiastics alone are competent to explain God's word, it is withheld from the common people. Though the Reformation gave the Scriptures to all, yet the selfsame principle which was maintained by Rome prevents multitudes in Protestant churches from searching the Bible for themselves.
GREAT CONTROVERSY 596
They are taught to accept its teachings as interpreted by the church; and there are thousands who dare receive nothing, however plainly revealed in Scripture, that is contrary to their creed or the established teaching of their church.
SDA’S WELCOME PRESBYTERIANS TO DIALOGUE
1ST--NOVEMBER, 2006, 2ND--AUGUST, 2007
2006-2007 SDA-PRESBYTERIANSLIKE THE APOSTASY AT BAAL-PEOR
“Their motives [TO LEAD ISRAEL INTO IDOLATRY]
were studiously concealed under the garb of friendship,
so that they were not suspected, even by the
guardians of the people.” PP 454
2006-2007 SDA‘s and Presbyterians Dialogue
SDA Church leaders welcome Presbyterian Church leaders
and express "appreciation for the opportunity
to sharpen our friendship."
Dr John Graz (L) makes a presentation to
Dr. Carlos Maleve (R) of the Presbyterians
“Studiously concealed under the garb of friendship,” PP 454
Dr Carlos Malave, leader of the Presbyterian delegation, spoke of his delight that his work "was to make friends," and spoke of the spiritual unity described by Jesus in John 17.
"To be one church is a spiritual church, and it is not necessary that there should be one visible church."
William Johnsson Presentation:
“Only God knows those who are His. Certainly the church is far wider and greater than the body of Adventism.
Adventists …realize that they are but a small part of the larger body of Christ.”
William Johnsson to Presbyterian Leaders
“Adventists retain a lively concern for theology. The issues frequently heard involve …Christ’s human nature and Christian ‘perfection.’
“A small but vociferous minority continue to urge the ideal of sinless perfection; they do not have the support of church leaders, however.”
William Johnsson Presentation:
Adventists frequently enter into discussions with representatives of other Christian bodies.
• with the World Evangelical Alliance (ongoing);• with the Church of God (Seventh-day);• with the Reformed Ecumenical Synod;• with the Salvation Army (ongoing);• with the Assemblies of Yahweh;• with the Lutheran World Federation. A series of
bilateral conversations (1994-1998) led to a consensus statement and the publication of all the papers presented.
• with the World Alliance of Reformed Churches
William Johnsson Presentation:“As we look over the 28 statements of
Adventist doctrine, we are led to three conclusions: (1) The articles that are
first and form the basis for the remainder, namely articles dealing with the Trinity, the person of Christ, and salvation, conform to orthodox Christian understanding.”
William Johnsson Presentation:
“(2) Not one of the articles is absolutely unique to the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
(3) If we are to speak of uniqueness concerning Adventist doctrine, then, it is in the configuration of doctrines rather than in individual beliefs.”
PRESBYTERIANS SURPRISED!
"We certainly did view them as more of a separatist group than what we have discovered," he said.
"We found them to be ecumenically engaged, consistent with major Christianity on major points of faith."
Spiritual Gifts, Vol. 2, page 300
"There is as great difference in our faith
and that of nominal professors as the
heavens are higher than the earth.”
Where were the VERY DISTINCTIVE 3 Angel’s Messages?
Seventh-day Adventists have …been given a work of the most solemn
import—the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages.
There is no other work of so great importance. They are to allow nothing else
to absorb their attention. Testimonies, Vol.9, 19.
Raymond Cottrell, Review and Herald, May 15, 1958
"Were Seventh-day Adventists to yield their distinctive teachings in order to win
and wear the robe of theological respectability, they would doubtless be
accepted by other Christian bodies,
but in so doing they would be traitor to the truths that have made them a people... They would no longer be Seventh-day Adventists."
REVELATION 2:9
I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue
of Satan.

The WCC develops the Global Christian Forum.
In 1995, the WCC saw that the ecumenical movement was broader than
the WCC, which was mostly Protestant.
The Global Christian Forum could reach out to Roman Catholic, Pentecostal and Evangelical churches that are not part of WCC….
When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she
shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, …then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and
that the end is near. 5T 451

At Baal-Peor Today
The rulers and the leading men were among the first to transgress, and so many of the people were guilty that the apostasy became national. "Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor." When Moses was aroused to perceive the evil, the plots of their enemies had been so successful that not only were the Israelites participating in the licentious worship at Mount Peor, but the heathen rites were coming to be observed in the camp of Israel. The aged leader was filled with indignation, and the wrath of God was kindled. PP 454,455
Patriarchs & Prophets, 455“By swift-coming judgments
the people were awakened to the enormity of their sin. A terrible
pestilence broke out in the camp, to which tens of thousands speedily fell a prey. God
commanded that the leaders in this apostasy be put to death by
the magistrates.”
NUMBERS 25:3,4
And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them
up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned
away from Israel.
Isaiah 3:12
O my people,
they which lead thee
cause thee to err,
and destroy
the way of thy paths.

While General Conference and its Followers Separate From Structure of Truth.
UNLESS IT REPENTS
The Gen. Conf. has forgotten that we are living in the anti-typical Day of Atonement—the time to put away sin.
The Gen. Conf. Structure will never be part of the Latter Rain and give the final message with a loud cry.
In fact, they will be enemies, the most bitter enemies, of God’s people.
GREAT CONTROVERSY, 608
As the storm approaches, a large class who have
professed faith in the third angel's message, but have not been sanctified through
obedience to the truth, abandon their position and
join the ranks of the opposition.
GREAT CONTROVERSY, 608
By uniting with the world and partaking of its spirit, they have come to view
matters in nearly the same light; and when the
test is brought, they are prepared to choose the
easy, popular side.
GREAT CONTROVERSY, 608
Men of talent and pleasing address, who once rejoiced
in the truth, employ their powers to deceive and mislead souls. They
become the most bitter enemies of their former
brethren.
BE LIKE THE TRIBE OF LEVI
God’s people need to relate to this APOSTASY as
did the tribe of Levi at the Golden Calf (G.C.) apostasy. Until Moses came down with judgments, the Levites did not support the apostasy
with their gold, or participate in its worship services.
GOD BLESSED THE TRIBE OF LEVI
Levi was chosen to be the priestly tribe because
it remained faithful to God amidst the apostasy
of the Golden Calf.
MALACHI 2:4-6
And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that
my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and
was afraid before my name.
MALACHI 2:4-6
The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was
not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace
and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
TRIBE OF LEVI = 144,000
Dan. 12:3: And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.Rev.14:4,5: These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth…. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
TRIBE OF LEVI = 144,000
The experience of the Tribe of Levi at the Golden Calf apostasy and the 144,000 in last day apostasy are parallel.

He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and He shall purify the sons of Levi,

GO YE OUT TO MEET HIMThose who are living upon the earth when the intercession of Christ shall cease in the sanctuary above are to

GO YE OUT TO MEET HIMThrough the grace of God and their own diligent effort they must be conquerors in the battle with evil. While the investigative
judgment is going forward in heaven, while the sins of penitent believers are being removed from the sanctuary, there is to be a special
