| About Sealed Discussions: WARNING! The rest of this page below contains information that is sealed off from the Truth of Adventism Defended Forum. This means that no discussion is to be brought against the points proven in most of the links below. Those with this designation will be clearly marked. Any subscriber who brings up the points which have been disproven in the following list of discussions will be likely regarded as an offender and can be unsubscribed. We had to do this for we discovered that we were dialoguing with unscrupulous members of the papal army. Even after conclusive points were presented to the point where they dared not answer them, they continued to present their redundant points and merely mocked our questions away or laughed at them. We therefore have to institute this principle so as not the waste the time of the people. The only way discussion upon
these points can be brought up again is if the argument(s) are wholly
unique in character. All challenges must be issued by applying

OUR POSITION Part 4! Date Posted: 11/10/99

Dear Friends,
We have already showed the truth about the Shut Door doctrine. We have shown that it was correct. We have shown that the other church systems rejected the Millerite message for a totally different reason from that which was shown us by tolerant of diverse views Mr. G and his gang. The Millerites had the misconception that the Sanctuary to be cleansed was the earth. That was a common misconception, and the other churches also believed that the Sanctuary to be cleansed in Daniel was the earth. We can therefore understand the truth about this situation by viewing BIBLICALLY what heaven thinks of the two opposing sides in this issue.
The problem was that the arguments presented by the Millerites were impregnable. The arguments they presented had no presently available answer. You may think that they did through the posts here on this forum, but that was not true. The scriptures constantly touted by Mr. G are not iron-clad proof against the arguments of the Millerites. That which tells us that of that day and hour knoweth no man, does not prove that this condition is for all time. That was not the answer required to shut up the Millerites. That which tells us that it is not for the Disciples to know the times and the seasons, did not and does not prove that that condition remains for all time. The very message and prophecy of the sealed book of Daniel that the Millerites uncovered DEALT WITH TIMES AND SEASONS. It was prophecied that the secrets of that sealed book would be revealed only during the time of the end. It was therefore not for Daniel, nor the Disciples, nor for anyone else to know the times and seasons, but the sealed book of Daniel was a revelation of times and seasons to the people they were appointed for whom God had placed in His own power.
The answer that was required for the other churches to shut up the Millerites was the fact that the term "Sanctuary" doesn't mean the earth, but the temples that existed both in the Old Testament, and in heaven. That was the answer to the puzzle, and not the scriptures touted by Mr. G.
The later realization of this by the Adventists is what provided them the tremendous advantage they had which is now very fully evident in this day. The answer for them which would have shook them out of their misconception was not the Scriptures given us by the enemies of the faith. ON THE IMPREGNABILITY OF THE ARGUMENTS PRESENTED AND BY THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARD THE PROSPECT OF JESUS RETURNING WERE THE OTHER CHURCHES JUDGED. THAT IS HOW HEAVEN LOOKS AT THEM. If they had accepted the message, after the appointed time, they would have realized the error, they would have also fulfilled the type depicted at the day of atonement like the Millerites did, and THEY would have figured out the error and come out with the Revelation advantage also. According to the plan, they would have suffered disappointment also, for, in the misconception, they took the issues far more seriously than if there was no misconception and wound up afflicting their souls in the same way the Israelites did on the Day of Atonement. THEY REALLY THOUGHT THAT THE DAY WAS AT HAND!
A message was therefore left in the Scriptures concerning this very incident. For every misconception was a consequence. The Adventists felt their consequence and may yet feel it. The other churches also have consequences to feel. It is that which I would like to focus upon so we can understand the secret behind these issues. Heaven has left on record the consequences of the two opposing sides. Remember, I said Heaven-NOT MR. G! After you leave this earth, you are supposed to be going up to heaven-NOT UP TO MR. G! You therefore need to figure out what heaven thinks-NOT MR. G.!
The incident which took place in the 1840s, and which is to be repeated in a far more spectacular way in the near future, was recorded for us in Revelation 10, which says:
8
And
the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take
the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the
sea and upon the earth.
9
And
I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And
he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter,
but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10
And
I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in
my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
11
And
he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations,
and tongues, and kings.
We first see the little book which was sealed. The Millerites ingested it, but carried misconceptions along with it. The thing that was sweet with the book, WAS NOT THE TIME PROPHECY. It was not any exact dating that made the message they carried sweet. What made their message sweet WAS THAT THEIR SAVIOUR WAS COMING! After their expectations were not fulfilled, the other Christians made their lives miserable.
Yet notice what continues. In the scripture we see another consequence. The Lord has told the Adventists, "Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings." That is therefore another major part of their consequence, and that is the view of heaven about the Adventists. Were they really villainous as the anti-critical unconditional lovites are telling us?
Yet we must understand that there was a reason why the Lord told them that they MUST prophesy again. Have you figured it out yet? Look around you! That reason all should be able to witness on this forum and through the continued struggle that exists all over the world. It appears now that "Christ's" servants are so interested in the "Gospel" that they are not only determined not to present the message given as part of the Everlasting Gospel, but they are also determined that no one else must give it. Whosoever does it will be hammered with that which those loving the new "gospel" continually condemn: character assassination. EVEN NOW and in light of the awesome declaration of Scripture in the last chapter of the Revelation, the descendants of the other churches of the 1840s REFUSE to proclaim this very crucial and saving message. Somebody therefore must do it. The Lord has already foreseen that the other churches would refuse and would rather league under the Antichrist. He therefore told the descendants of the Millerites, that they MUST prophecy again. On this forum and everywhere, men are telling us that we MUST NOT prophecy again.
On one side is a behemoth institution bracing to murder many multitudes of people, and with the rest to start an inquisition. On the other side is a much smaller institution which, out of love for the people, has been given a message of God that they are to preach the Gospel in present truth, therefore to mercifully make the people aware of the behemoth and other very crucial issues so that they can save their lives and loved ones. Ultimately, the Seventh-day Adventist Church organization will fall and join with the others, even changing its name. Those however who believe the truth of Seventh-day Adventism, and who follow it, will stand against the future Great Tribulation.
Yet now let's take a look again at the consequences of the other side during the 1840s-the consequences of the other churches.
Rev
1:1 The
Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his
angel unto his servant John:
2 Who
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of
all things that he saw.
3 Blessed
is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep
those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
This shows us that a message was written which must be understood. It was not Christ's intention that this message should be engulfed in "speculation," but Satan's men ALWAYS work and are powerful through confusion. When their enemies are in confusion, THEN is the time that they push their incorrect yet UNIFIED views upon the people therefore causing UNIFIED and WELL-PLANNED changes to take place notwithstanding there are many who are not in agreement with those changes.
Here now is the consequence of the other class-the other churches-who hated the coming of Christ so much that they wiped the crucial message of the Revelation out of their consciousness and endeavored as they do today to wipe it out of the minds of as many as they could:
Rev. 22: 18 "For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
I am sure any of you could see the plain and authentic English in this scripture. The message is absolutely unmistakable! You therefore have a decision to make as you witness the posts on this forum, and as you see the example of the Adventism today compared with all the rest.
