WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE!!

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 directly to the owner of the forum, Mr. Ted McMillan:

The Devil has a plan which he will put into operation to destroy everyone who lives on the earth.

But yet, if the prediction is that the whole world will worship the Beast spoken of in Revelation thirteen (as we have seen in Part I), how is it that they will be caught off guard? Will the religious world, INCLUDING THE CHRISTIAN WORLD, be caught off guard also?

Say a certain man became fabulously wealthy and inherited a mansion, but the Devil wanted to make him bankrupt. He and his spouse invited his cousins and their families to live with him in his new mansion. He hired a butler to take care of the housework. He stashed all his inheritance in a safe behind a picture on the wall and through trust, conveyed to all who lived in that mansion what the combination to the safe was.

A week later he discovered that all the money was gone, and words could not portray his hysteria. After thinking the whole situation over, he considered that THE BUTLER must have done it, and he thus put him in jail. Yet the question is, Who did it?

Assume that you are the Devil and that you were allowed to take control of one of those people who lived in the homeowner's mansion and who knew the combination. Of all the people in the house, which one would you pick to most successfully steal the homeowner's money without being detected?

If you lack shrewdness, you would pick the butler. Why? Because the butler would be the first person most anyone would accuse. It would be a much wiser choice to consider one of the homeowner's cousins or his or her family members since a relative would be less likely suspected. But yet the best choice to control in this picture would be the homeowner's spouse--she would be the last one to suspect. We therefore have a strong clue as to why the vision of the Lord has revealed a very sad future for the world.

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet; 14 for they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth AND OF THE WHOLE WORLD, to gather them to battle of that great day of God almighty. -- Revelation 16:13, 14.

This we understand to be the battle of Armageaddon. Notice the three entities responsible for the future destruction of our world. They are the dragon, the Beast, and the false prophet. A key factor in figuring out our puzzle is here revealed when this scripture named the "false prophet."

It is interesting to note that throughout the length and breadth of the Bible, and in conjunction with the principle we learned to most successfully and imperceptibly deceive, we would have to conclude that false prophets always only come from one place: from among God's people. You can search the Bible, and you will most probably never find one false prophet who did not emerge from within the flock of God. The very language of statements that predict false prophets indicates that they will always come from the body that is being addressed. Do not expect the Beast person to be a Hindu or a Buddhist prophet to come and deceive the world with the Christian world included. The Christian world is growing by leaps and bounds. It must be that they will be deceived also, but they can NEVER be deceived by a Buddhist false prophet.

Throughout the history of the world, every time the Bible called someone a "false prophet," IT MEANT SOMEONE WHO CLAIMED TO LOVE THE LORD, but who was bent on giving a false message to the people who were not aware and thus caused them to lose the great battle of life.

Beware of false prophets, WHICH COME TO YOU IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. -- Matthew 7:15.

Since Christ's Church and people are said to be His "flock," we know that false prophets will come looking like us--"in sheep's clothing:" they will be in our midst. This is a rule-of-thumb characteristic about false prophets.

The Bible also states that another special characteristic about false prophets is that they say, "Thus saith the Lord God, when the Lord hath not spoken." -- Ezekiel 22:28. Now who says "Thus saith the Lord," but people who claim to know Him and claim to have a relationship with him.

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied IN THY NAME? and IN THY NAME have cast out devils? and IN THY NAME done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

"Many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." -- Matthew 7:22, 23;24:11.

Don't miss the fact that those who are classified as false prophets have IN CHRIST'S NAME "done many wonderful works."

QUESTION: Now which are the only type of people who perform miracles in Christ's name? Which are the only people in the world who do anything in the name of Christ? Who therefore are the false prophets?

They are all around you. You see them all the time. You have worshiped with them. They are among those whom you love, trust and respect. THEY ARE CHRISTIANS!

WHAT!! How else can it be? Do you think we would be deceived if we believed that the Beast was a special supercomputer? Would we be deceived if we thought that the Beast was RONALD-(6 letters) WILSON-(6 letters) REAGAN-(6 letters)? Do you really think we would be deceived if we thought the Beast was a Roman monarch who would try to take over the world? Do you think we would be deceived if we thought it was Gorbachev, or Yeltsin, or George Bush or Bill Clinton? If we're all taught that, which frequently is the case, we would know how to prepare for him and he wouldn't deceive us; then the scripture declaring that the whole world will be deceived and destroyed like the people during the time of the flood of Noah would not come to pass. These scripture references WILL be fulfilled regardless of what we do, for God foresaw the future.

Consider the fact that if the world becomes professedly "Christian" (something which is happening openly and undercover politically as you read this material: THE NEW WORLD ORDER), the fulfillment of the prophecies will have to be fulfilled against a professing Christian world. If the world becomes Christian, then it will be destroyed anyway, and that would pose a clue as to why many will be deceived by overpowering delusion or deception: if it is done by professing Christians themselves.

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 AND DECEIVETH THEM THAT DWELL ON THE EARTH BY THE MEANS OF THOSE MIRACLES which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. -- Revelation 13:11-14.

This scripture shows that this "enlightened" world in which we live will be "deceived" into worshipping the beast and causing the great tribulation. It also declares that miracles will play a vital role in this deception. With false prophets that come in the name of God, wouldn't it be safe to say that the miracles wrought by them will also come in the name of God? Remember that our previous scripture passage declared that in the day of accountability, many false prophets will go to Jesus asking, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?" These are the same false prophets mentioned in Revelation 13:11-14.

Yet the point to be made is that the single greatest proponent of miracles in this day and age among entities is Christendom! Haven't you seen radio and television series which flaunted the power of miracles as being among its chief assets? Haven't you seen signs advertising revival tents which exhorted the public to come with their sick and afflicted? To come "expecting a miracle?" Where else have you seen miracles flaunted with as much vehemency and frequency? Christendom dominates this enterprise.

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, truce-breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF; from such turn away. -- 2 Timothy 3:1-5.

Notice the condition of the world at the end of time, and that the ones possessing all these terrible traits WILL HAVE A FORM OF GODLINESS. The expression "perilous times" denotes persecution. We therefore have zeroed into the reasons why so many will not be prepared to stand when Jesus comes.

The last and probably most striking evidence to be mentioned comes from what was previously quoted proving the total future destruction of our world (Jeremiah 25:33). After declaring that, "The slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth," and that, "they shall not be lamented, neither gathered nor buried," the scripture continues starting from verse 34:

34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. 35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the Lord hath spoiled their pasture. 37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the Lord. -- Jeremiah 25:34-37.

It must be known that "shepherds" or "principle of the flock" are terms used throughout scripture to denote pastors, preachers, ministers, priests, or any religious leader. This is from the biblical analogy that religious leaders are like shepherds who lead and guard their sheep which represent their members. That is exactly where the name comes from: pastors -- (pasture). They will be the ones to blame and who will lead the world to persecute the people of God. Their pasture will be those whom they will lead and command, and the government will surely be involved. Notice that it can here be assumed that it will be their flock (their members: the people of the world) which will execute the persecutions of the Great Tribulation through the direct guidance of their spiritual leaders. Indeed, the future destiny of the world will take place in the same manner as that which happened at the Jim Jone's camp in Guyana. It will be done by Christians. Yet now, the major mainline religions are paranoid about "cults" and are already making suggestions to appeal to the state for help in destroying them.
