The Three

Elijahs

Those who took part in the establishment of

our work upon a foundation of Bible truth,
those who know the waymarks that have
pointed out the right path, are to be
regarded as workers of the highest value.
They can speak from personal experience,
regarding the truths entrusted to them.
These men are not to permit their faith to be
changed to infidelity; they are not to permit
the banner of the third angel to be taken
from their hands. They are to hold the
beginning of their confidence firm unto the
end.
The Lord has declared that the history
of the past shall be rehearsed as we
enter upon the closing work. Every truth
that He has given for these last days is to
be proclaimed to the world. Every pillar
that He has established is to be
strengthened. We cannot now step off the
foundation that God has established. We
cannot now enter into any new organization;
for this would mean apostasy from the
truth.--. {2SM 389 - 390}

Unlawful Relationship Between

Jezebel and Ahab
1 Kings 16:30-33
And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all
that were before him. And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing
for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to
wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went
and served Baal, and worshipped him. And he reared up an altar for
Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. And Ahab
made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel
to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him. In his days did
Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram
his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub,
according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son
of Nun.

Jezebel Pulls the Strings

1 Kings 21: 8-10
So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed
them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the
elders and to the nobles that were in his city,
dwelling with Naboth. And she wrote in the letters,
saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high
among the people: And set two men, sons of
Belial, before him, to bear witness against him,
saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king.
And then carry him out, and stone him, that he
may die.

Weak King
1 Kings 21:25
But there was none like unto Ahab, which did
sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of
the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up

Ahab was weak in moral power. His union by marriage with an idolatrous woman of
decided character and positive temperament resulted disastrously both to himself and to
the nation. Unprincipled, and with no high standard of right doing, his character was
easily molded by the determined spirit of Jezebel. His selfish nature was incapable
of appreciating the mercies of God to Israel and his own obligations as the guardian and
leader of the chosen people. Under the blighting influence of Ahab's rule, Israel
wandered far from the living God and corrupted their ways before Him. For many years
they had been losing their sense of reverence and godly fear; and now it seemed as if
there were none who dared expose their lives by openly standing forth in opposition to
the prevailing blasphemy. The dark shadow of apostasy covered the whole land. Images
of Baalim and Ashtoreth were everywhere to be seen. Idolatrous temples and
consecrated groves, wherein were worshiped the works of men's hands, were multiplied.
The air was polluted with the smoke of the sacrifices offered to false gods. Hill and vale
resounded with the drunken cries of a heathen priesthood who sacrificed to the sun,
moon, and stars. Through the influence of Jezebel and her impious priests, the people
were taught that the idol gods that had been set up were deities, ruling by their mystic
power the elements of earth, fire, and water. All the bounties of heaven--the running
brooks, the streams of living water, the gentle dew, the showers of rain which refreshed
the earth and caused the fields to bring forth abundantly--were ascribed to the favor of
Baal and Ashtoreth, instead of to the Giver of every good and perfect gift. The people
forgot that the hills and valleys, the streams and fountains, were in the hand of the living
God, that He controlled the sun, the clouds of heaven, and all the powers of nature. {PK

Amalgamation
1 Kings 18:21
And Elijah came unto all the people,
and said, How long halt ye between two
opinions? if the LORD be God, follow
him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the
people answered him not a word.

Mass Murderer
1 Kings 18:4-13
For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the
prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah
took an hundred prophets, and hid
them by fifty in a cave, and fed them
with bread and water.

Jezebel
2 Kings 9:22
And it came to pass, when Joram saw
Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And
he answered, What peace, so long as
the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel
and her witchcrafts are so many?

False Prophets
Accomplish Jezebel's Purpose

1 Kings 18:19
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto
mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred
and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred,
which eat at Jezebel's table.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the
children, and the heart of the children to their fathers,
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Restore True Worship

1 Kings 18: 30,31,36
31- And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of
the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel
shall be thy name:
32- And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he
made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of
seed.
36- And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice,
that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac,
and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I
am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.

Troubler of Israel
1 Kings 18:18
And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he
that troubleth Israel?
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in
that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed
Baalim

Yet notwithstanding these evidences of God's power, Israel repented not, nor
learned the lesson that God would have them learn. They did not see that He who
created nature controls her laws, and can make of them instruments of blessing or of
destruction. Proud hearted, enamored of their false worship, they were unwilling to
humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, and they began to cast about for
some other cause to which to attribute their sufferings. Jezebel utterly refused to
recognize the drought as a judgment from Jehovah. Unyielding in her
determination to defy the God of heaven, she, with nearly the whole of Israel, united
in denouncing Elijah as the cause of all their misery. Had he not borne testimony
against their forms of worship? If only he could be put out of the way, she argued, the
anger of their gods would be appeased, and their troubles would end. {PK
126.1}Urged on by the queen, Ahab instituted a most diligent search for the hiding
place of the prophet. To the surrounding nations, far and near, he sent messengers
to seek for the man whom he hated, yet feared; and in his anxiety to make the search
as thorough as possible, he required of these kingdoms and nations an oath that
they knew nothing of the whereabouts of the prophet. But the search was in vain.
The prophet was safe from the malice of the king whose sins had brought upon the
land the denunciation of an offended God. Failing in her efforts against Elijah,
Jezebel determined to avenge herself by slaying all the prophets of Jehovah in Israel.
Not one should be left alive. The infuriated woman carried out her purpose in the
massacre of many of God's servants. Not all, however, perished. Obadiah, the
governor of Ahab's house, yet faithful to God, "took an hundred prophets," and at the
risk of his own life, "hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water." 1
Kings 18:4. PK p126

Flee to the Wilderness to

1 Kings 17: 3-6
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is
before Jordan.
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to
feed thee there.
So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the
brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the
morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

1 Kings 18:21 22

And Elijah came unto all the people, and said,

How long halt ye between two opinions? if the
LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow
him. And the people answered him not a word.
Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only,
remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's
prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

1 Kings 18:26-29
And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and
called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear
us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the
altar which was made.
And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for
he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or
peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and
lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the
time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor
any to answer, nor any that regarded.

Contrast of Worship Styles on

Mount
1 Kings: 18:36-39
And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice,
that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham,
Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel,
and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy
word.
Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the
LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and
the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was
in the trench. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and
they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
Brings Back True Worship

PK P 153
No sooner is the prayer of Elijah ended than flames of fire,
like brilliant flashes of lightning, descend from heaven upon
the upreared altar, consuming the sacrifice, licking up the
water in the trench, and consuming even the stones of the
altar. The brilliancy of the blaze illumines the mountain and
dazzles the eyes of the multitude. In the valleys below, where
many are watching in anxious suspense the movements of
those above, the descent of fire is clearly seen, and all are
amazed at the sight. It resembles the pillar of fire which at the
Red Sea separated the children of Israel from the Egyptian
host.

Prophets of Baal Slew

1 Kings 18:40
And Elijah said unto them, Take the
prophets of Baal; let not one of them
escape. And they took them: and
Elijah brought them down to the
brook Kishon, and slew them there.

And They Repent NOT!

PK P154
The priests of Baal witness with consternation the wonderful revelation of
Jehovah's power. Yet even in their discomfiture and in the presence of
divine glory, they refuse to repent of their evil-doing. They would still
remain the prophets of Baal. Thus they showed themselves ripe for
destruction. That repentant Israel may be protected from the allurements of
those who have taught them to worship Baal, Elijah is directed by the Lord
to destroy these false teachers. The anger of the people has already been
aroused against the leaders in transgression; and when Elijah gives the
command, "Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape," they
are ready to obey. They seize the priests, and take them to the brook
Kishon, and there, before the close of the day that marked the beginning of
decided reform, the ministers of Baal are slain. Not one is permitted to live.

Destruction of Jezebel &

Ahab
1 Kings 21:23-24
And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs
shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat;
and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air
eat.

Death of Jezebel
1 Kings 9:32 36
And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted
her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window. And as Jehu
entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master And
he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And
there looked out to him two or three eunuchs. And he said, Throw her down.
So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall,
and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this
cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter. And they went to
bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the
palms of her hands. Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said,
This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the
Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:

Delay - Disappointment
1 Kings 18:43-44
And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the
sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is
nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said,
Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a
man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab,
Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down that the rain
stop thee not.

Translation of Elijah
2 Kings 2:11-12
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked,
that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and
horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and
Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha
saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of
Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no
more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent
them in two pieces.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the
scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered
and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and
restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come
already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him
whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of
man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that
he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

Reformation Israel steeped in Legalism

DA 135.1

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall
be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked
shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: and the glory of the Lord
shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together." Isa. 40:1-5, margin.
Anciently, when a king journeyed through the less frequented parts of his
dominion, a company of men was sent ahead of the royal chariot to level
the steep places and to fill up the hollows, that the king might travel in
safety and without hindrance. This custom is employed by the prophet to
illustrate the work of the gospel. "Every valley shall be exalted, and every
mountain and hill shall be made low." When the Spirit of God, with its
marvelous awakening power, touches the soul, it abases human pride.
Worldly pleasure and position and power are seen to be worthless.
"Imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the
knowledge of God" are cast down; every thought is brought into captivity "to
the obedience of Christ." 2 Cor. 10:5. Then humility and self-sacrificing love,
so little valued among men, are exalted as alone of worth. This is the work
of the gospel, of which John's message was a part.

And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:

that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am
not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy
Ghost, and with fire:
Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will
burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire

2nd Elijahs 3 Enemies

Mark 6:14-17
And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread
abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen
from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth
themselves in him.
Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a
prophet, or as one of the prophets.
But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I
beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon
John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his
brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

Herodias
Mark 6:18-19;
For John had said unto Herod, It is not
lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against
him, and would have killed him; but she
could not:

Mark 6:21-22
And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday
made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of
Galilee; And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and
danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said
unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it
thee. And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will
give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. And she went forth, and
said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of
John the Baptist. And she came in straightway with haste unto the
king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a
charger the head of John the Baptist.

The Kill
Mark 6:27-28
And immediately the king sent an executioner,
and commanded his head to be brought: and he
went and beheaded him in the prison,
And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to
the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.

Malachi 4:5-6
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I
commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the
statutes and judgments.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the
children, and the heart of the children to their fathers,
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Repetition
The work of John the Baptist, and the work of those who in the last days
go forth in the spirit and power of Elijah to arouse the people from their
apathy, are in many respects the same. His work is a type of the work
that must be done in this age. Christ is to come the second time to judge
the world in righteousness. The messengers of God who bear the last
message of warning to be given to the world, are to prepare the way for
Christ's second advent, as John prepared the way for his first advent. In
this preparatory work, "every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain
shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the
rough places plain;" for history is to be repeated, and once again "the
glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for
the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." {SW, March 21, 1905 par. 10}

Elijah Returns After 1798

As he (Miller) followed down the prophecies, he saw that the
inhabitants of the earth were living in the closing scenes of
this world's history, yet they knew it not. He looked at the
churches and saw that they were corrupt; they had taken
their affections from Jesus and placed them on the world;
they were seeking for worldly honor, instead of that honor
which cometh from above; grasping for worldly riches,
instead of laying up their treasure in heaven. He could see
hypocrisy, darkness, and death everywhere. His spirit was
stirred within him. God called him to leave his farm, as He
called Elisha to leave his oxen and the field of his labor to
follow Elijah. With trembling, William Miller began to unfold
to the people the mysteries of the kingdom of God, carrying
his hearers down through the prophecies to the second
advent of Christ. With every effort he gained strength. As
John the Baptist heralded the first advent of Jesus and
prepared the way for His coming, so William Miller and those

Elijah Returns
Thousands were led to embrace the truth preached by
William Miller, and servants of God were raised up in the
spirit and power of Elijah to proclaim the message. Like
John, the forerunner of Jesus, those who preached this
solemn message felt compelled to lay the ax at the root of
the tree, and call upon men to bring forth fruits meet for
repentance. Their testimony was calculated to arouse and
powerfully affect the churches and manifest their real
character. And as the solemn warning to flee from the
wrath to come was sounded, many who were united with
the churches received the healing message; they saw their
backslidings, and with bitter tears of repentance and deep
agony of soul, humbled themselves before God. And as the
Spirit of God rested upon them, they helped to sound the
cry, "Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His

Power From On High

Revelation 10:1-6
And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven,

his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his
right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, And
cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he
had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I
was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying
unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders
uttered, and write them not. And the angel which I saw
stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to
heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who
created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the

Power from on High

The advent movement of 1840-44 was a glorious
manifestation of the power of God; the first angel's
message was carried to every missionary station in the
world, and in some countries there was the greatest
religious interest which has been witnessed in any land
since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but
these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement
under the last warning of the third angel. {GC 611.1}

Power From On High

This was the midnight cry, which was to give power to the second angel's
message. Angels were sent from heaven to arouse the discouraged saints
and prepare them for the great work before them. The most talented men
were not the first to receive this message. Angels were sent to the humble,
devoted ones, and constrained them to raise the cry, "Behold, the
Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him!" Those entrusted with the cry
made haste, and in the power of the Holy Spirit sounded the message, and
aroused their discouraged brethren. This work did not stand in the wisdom
and learning of men, but in the power of God,
God and His saints who heard the
cry could not resist it. The most spiritual received this message first, and
those who had formerly led in the work were the last to receive and help
swell the cry, "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet Him!" In
every part of the land, light was given upon the second angel's message,
and the cry melted the hearts of thousands. It went from city to city, and
from village to village, until the waiting people of God were fully aroused. In
many churches the message was not permitted to be given, and a large
company who had the living testimony left these fallen churches. A mighty
work was accomplished by the midnight cry. The message was heartsearching, leading the believers to seek a living experience for themselves.

The Delay / Disappointment

Revelation 10:10
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.

Seven Thunders
Revelation 10:4
And when the seven thunders had uttered their
voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things
which the seven thunders uttered, and write them
not.

Seven Thunders
The special light given to John which was
expressed in the seven thunders was a delineation
of events which would transpire under the first
and second angels' messages. It was not best
for the people to know these things, for their faith
must necessarily be tested. In the order of God
most wonderful and advanced truths would be
proclaimed. The first and second angels' messages
were to be proclaimed,
proclaimed but no further light was to
be revealed before these messages had done their
specific work. This is represented by the angel
standing with one foot on the sea, proclaiming with
a most solemn oath that time should be no longer.
{7BC 971.6}

Seven Thunders

After these seven thunders uttered their voices,

the injunction comes to John as to Daniel in
regard to the little book: "Seal up those things
which the seven thunders uttered." These relate
to future events which will be disclosed in
their order. Daniel shall stand in his lot at the
end of the days. John sees the little book
unsealed. Then Daniel's prophecies have
their proper place in the first, second, and
third angels' messages to be given to the
world. The unsealing of the little book was the
message in relation to time. {7BC 971.4}

Revelation 12:4

as soon as it was born.

Ezekiel 29:3

Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord

GOD; Behold, I am against thee,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great
dragon that lieth in the midst of his
rivers, which hath said, My river is
mine own, and I have made it for
myself.

Kings and rulers and governors have placed upon themselves the brand of antichrist,
and are represented as the dragon who goes to make war with the saints--with those
who keep the commandments of God and who have the faith of Jesus. In their enmity
against the people of God, they show themselves guilty also of the choice of Barabbas
instead of Christ. {TM 38.2}

Beast

Revelation 13: 1-3

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads
and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and
upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the
beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his
feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as
the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his
power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw
one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and
his deadly wound was healed: and all the world
wondered after the beast.

Beast

Revelation 17:1,3,5

1- And there came one of the seven angels which

had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying
unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the
judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon
many waters
3- So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet
coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy,
having seven heads and ten horns.
5- And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF
HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

False Prophet
Rev 13:11 18
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. 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.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from
heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 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.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image
of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both
small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their
right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save
he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number
of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred

False Prophet
Revelation 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the
false prophet that wrought miracles before
him, with which he deceived them that had

Revelation 18:1-5
And after these things I 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. For all nations
have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication, and the kings of the earth have
committed fornication with her, and the merchants of
the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of
her delicacies. 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. For her sins have reached unto
heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

When Jesus began His public ministry, He

cleansed the Temple from its sacrilegious
profanation. Among the last acts of His ministry
was the second cleansing of the Temple. So in the
last work for the warning of the world, two
distinct calls are made to the churches. The
second angel's message is, "Babylon is fallen, is
fallen, that great city, because she made all
nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her
fornication" (Rev. 14:8). And in the loud cry of
the third angel's message a voice is heard
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. For
her sins have reached unto heaven, and God

Death Decree
Revelation 13:15
And he had power to give life unto the
image of the beast, that the image of
the beast should both speak, and
cause that as many as would not
worship the image of the beast should
be killed.

A parchment was placed in

the angel's hand, and as
he descended to the earth
in power and majesty, he
proclaimed a fearful
warning, with the most
terrible threatening ever
borne to man.
Early Writings p254

Gods People Flee

The people of God will not be free from suffering; but

while persecuted and distressed, while they endure
privation and suffer for want of food they will not be
left to perish. That God who cared for Elijah will not
pass by one of His self-sacrificing children. He who
numbers the hairs of their head will care for them,
and in time of famine they shall be satisfied. While
the wicked are dying from hunger and pestilence,
angels will shield the righteous and supply their
wants. To him that "walketh righteously" is the
promise: "Bread shall be given him; his waters shall
be sure." "When the poor and needy seek water, and
there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the
Lord will hear them, I the God of Israel will not
forsake them." Isaiah 33:15, 16; 41:17. {GC 629.2}

Their Destruction
False Prophet

The people see that they have been deluded. They accuse one
another of having led them to destruction; but all unite in heaping
their bitterest condemnation upon the ministers. Unfaithful
pastors have prophesied smooth things; they have led their
hearers to make void the law of God and to persecute those who
would keep it holy. Now, in their despair, these teachers confess
before the world their work of deception. The multitudes are filled
with fury. "We are lost!" they cry, "and you are the cause of our
ruin;" and they turn upon the false shepherds. The very ones that
once admired them most will pronounce the most dreadful curses
upon them. The very hands that once crowned them with laurels
will be raised for their destruction. The swords which were to slay
God's people are now employed to destroy their enemies.
Everywhere there is strife and bloodshed. GC 655 -656

Jezebel

Their Destruction
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate
the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her
flesh, and burn her with fire. Revelation 17:16
And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine
of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out
of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a
thousand and six hundred furlongs Revelation 14:19-20
And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice,
saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather
yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the
flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on
them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and
great.
And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the
horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were

Christs coming
Soon there appears in the east a small black cloud,
about half the size of a man's hand. It is the cloud which
surrounds the Saviour and which seems in the distance
to be shrouded in darkness. The people of God know
this to be the sign of the Son of man. In solemn silence
they gaze upon it as it draws nearer the earth,
becoming lighter and more glorious, until it is a great
white cloud, its base a glory like consuming fire, and
above it the rainbow of the covenant.

The Three Angels' Messages.--The proclamation of the first,

second, and third angels' messages has been located by the
word of Inspiration. Not a peg or pin is to be removed. No
human authority has any more right to change the location
of these messages than to substitute the New Testament for
the Old. The Old Testament is the gospel in figures and
symbols. The New Testament is the substance. One is as
essential as the other. The Old Testament presents lessons
from the lips of Christ, and these lessons have not lost their
force in any particular. The first and second messages were
given in 1843 and 1844, and we are now under the
proclamation of the third; but all three of the messages are
still to be proclaimed. It is just as essential now as ever
before that they shall be repeated to those who are seeking
for the truth. By pen and voice we are to sound the
proclamation, showing their order, and the application of the
prophecies that bring us to the third angel's message. There
cannot be a third without the first and second. These
messages we are to give to the world in publications, in
discourses, showing in the line of prophetic history the
things that have been, and the things that will be.-be

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." I was again brought down
through these messages, and saw how dearly the
people of God had purchased their experience. It
had been obtained through much suffering and
severe conflict. God had led them along step by
step, until He had placed them upon a solid,
immovable platform.
