The light that Daniel received from God was given

especially for these last days. The visions he saw by the
banks of the Ulai and the Hiddekel, the great rivers of
Shinar, are now in process of fulfillment, and all the
events foretold will soon come to pass. {TM 112.3}

will take place. {9T 14.2}

We have no time to lose. Troublous times are before us. The world is
stirred with the spirit of war. Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of in
the prophecies will take place. The prophecy in the eleventh of
Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Much of the
history that has taken place in fulfillment of this prophecy will be
repeated. n the thirtieth verse a power is spoken of that "shall be
grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy
covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have
intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.³

Graves are opened, and ³many of them that sleep in the

dust of the earth´ ³awake, some to everlasting life, and
some to shame and everlasting contempt.½ [Daniel 12:2.]
All who have died in the faith of the third angel's message
come forth from the tomb glorified, to hear God's covenant
of peace with those who have kept his law. ³They also
which pierced Him,½ [Revelation 1:7.] those that mocked
and derided Christ's dying agonies, and the most violent
opposers of his truth and his people, are raised to behold
him in his glory, and to see the honor placed upon the
loyal and obedient.

Chapter V - The ?inal Warning

³I saw another angel come down from Heaven, having great

power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he
cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the
great 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.´ ³And 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.½ [Revelation 18:1, 2, 4.] {GC88 603.1}
 This scripture points forward to a time when
the announcement of the fall of Babylon, as
made by the second angel [Revelation 14:8] of
Revelation 14, is to be repeated, with the
additional mention of the corruptions which have
been entering the various organizations that
constitute Babylon, since that message was first
given, in the summer of 1844. A terrible condition
of the religious world is here described. With
every rejection of truth, the minds of the people
will become darker, their hearts more
stubborn, until they are entrenched in an
infidel hardihood.
 n defiance of the warnings which God has given, they will
continue to trample upon one of the precepts of the decalogue,
until they are led to persecute those who hold it sacred. Christ is
set at naught in the contempt placed upon his Word and his
people. As the teachings of Spiritualism are accepted by the
churches, the restraint imposed upon the carnal heart is removed,
and the profession of religion will become a cloak to conceal the
basest iniquity. A belief in spiritual manifestations opens the door
to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils, and thus the influence
of evil angels will be felt in the churches. {GC88 603.2}
Of Babylon, at the time brought to view in this prophecy, it is
declared, ³Her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath
remembered her iniquities.½ [Revelation 18:5.] She has filled up the
measure of her guilt, and destruction is about to fall upon her.
But God still has a people in Babylon; and before the visitation of
his judgments, these faithful ones must be called out, that they
³partake not of her sins, and receive not of her plagues.½ Hence
the movement symbolized by the angel coming down from Heaven,
lightening the earth with his glory, and crying mightily with a strong
voice, announcing the sins of Babylon. n connection with his
message the call is heard, ³Come out of her, my people.´ These
announcements, uniting with the third angel's message, constitute
the final warning to be given to the inhabitants of the earth.
Fearful is the issue to which the world is to be brought. The powers
of earth, uniting to war against the commandments of God, will
decree that all, ³both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond,½ [Revelation 13:16.] shall conform to the customs of the
church by the observance of the false sabbath. All who refuse
compliance will be visited with civil penalties, and it will finally be
declared that they are deserving of death. On the other hand, the
law of God enjoining the Creator's rest-day demands obedience,
and threatens wrath against all who transgress its precepts.
{GC88 604.2}
With the issue thus clearly brought before him, whoever shall
trample upon God's law to obey a human enactment, receives the
mark of the beast; he accepts the sign of allegiance to the power
which he chooses to obey instead of God. The warning from
Heaven is, ³ f 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, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation.½
[Revelation 14:9, 10.] {GC88 604.3}

THE SEALING OF GOD¶S PEOPLE:

Seal s a Settling nto Truth«.it is not any seal or
mark that can be seen, but a settling into the truth,
both intellectually and spiritually, so they cannot be
moved--just as soon as God's people are sealed and
prepared for the shaking, it will come. (MS 173,
1902). {4BC 1161.6}

˜ THE µKING OF THE NORTH¶ HAS DUAL
MEANING
WHY DIDN¶T ELLEN G. WHITE USE THE BIBLE
TERMINOLOGY REGARDING
DANIEL 11:40-45?

THERE¶S A REASON«
ELLEN WHITE HAD A BIG PROBLEM IN THE 1870¶S.
AND THIS IS THAT, THAT URIAH SMITH SHIFTED
THE ADVENTIST VIEW OF THE µK
G O? THE

ORTH¶ MEA

G ?ROM THE PAPACY TO
TURKEY. CONSEQUENTLY, JAMES WHITE AND
URIAH SMITH GOT INTO A FIGHT OVER THIS,
WHICH EVENTUALLY HAD ITS TOLL UPON THE
CHURCH BACK THEN. AND SO, ELLEN WHITE,
EVEN SHE KNEW THAT JAMES WHITE WAS RIGHT,
COULD NOT SIDE WITH HIM, AND OPPOSE URIAH
SMITH. WHY? BECAUSE HE WAS THE EDITOR IN
CHIEF OF THE REVIEW AND HERALD BACK THEN.
SO WHAT ELLEN WHITE SAID TO
HERSELF, IS THAT, I AM GOING TO WRITE
AND EXPLAIN THIS PROPHECY WITHOUT
USING THE LANGUAGE. AND SOMEDAY,
SOMEONE WHO¶S SMART ENOUGH, AND
WHO¶S LED BY GOD¶S DIVINE
ENLIGHTENMENT, IS GOING TO DISCOVER
MY CONCEPT ABOUT THIS PROPHECY;
EVEN IF I DID NOT USE THE LANGUAGE.
SHE KNEW THAT IT WAS NOT PRESENT
TRUTH THEN, BUT KNEW THAT SOMEDAY,
KNOWLEDGE WOULD INCREASE. THAT
DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE CANNOT
UNDERSTAND AND INTERPRET IT TODAY.
