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.

“The enemy of souls has sought to

The leaders would teach that
virtue is better than vice, but
God being removed, they
would place their dependence

without God, is worthless. Their

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.

Laymen Stick With the Truth of Jesus,
While General Conference and its Followers
Separate From Structure of Truth.
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.
UNLESS IT REPENTS
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.

GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM
Says the prophet: "Who may abide the
day of His coming? and who shall
stand when He appeareth? for He is like
a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: and
He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of
silver: and He shall purify the sons of Levi,
and purge them as gold and silver, that
they may offer unto the Lord an
offering in righteousness." Mal. 3:2, 3.
GC 425.
GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM
Those who are living upon the earth
when the intercession of Christ shall
cease in the sanctuary above are to
stand in the sight of a holy God
without a mediator. Their robes must
be spotless, their characters must
be purified from sin by the blood of
sprinkling. GC 425
GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM
Through 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
work of purification, of putting away of sin,
among God's people upon earth. This work is
more clearly presented in the messages of
Revelation 14. GC 425
GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM
When this work shall have been
accomplished, the followers of
Christ will be ready for His
appearing. "Then shall the
offering of Judah and Jerusalem
be pleasant unto the Lord, as in
the days of old, and as in former
years." Malachi 3:4. GC 425
GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM
Then the church which our Lord
at His coming is to receive to
Himself will be a "glorious church,
not having spot, or wrinkle, or
any such thing." Eph. 5:27. Then
she will look "forth as the
morning, fair as the moon, clear
as the sun, and terrible as an
army with banners." Song of
