---We are waiting for the Latter Rain. Why
Latter rain? Because there was an early rain. ---Rain? Yes, the outpouring of the Spirit
was compared to an early and latter rain. ---In the last days, Joel the prophet saw
and wrote, the Holy Spirit will be poured out on all flesh. How many? All. ---Why? It is the last chance for all flesh
at that time. ---Why? They all will come face to face to a
decision to make: accept or reject. ---Why? History must stop and Jesus must
come to fetch His harvest of Revelation 14 the last verses. ---Ellen White saw a shaking of the church
and apostacy coming. Then the emptiness will be filled with others from all
corners from the earth, even other churches. Pastors with their whole churches,
she saw, will join the true church or remnant. ---What is apostacy? It is the replacement
of cultural modern civil LGBTQH values and Women Ordination insistence against
clear biblical texts like 1 Timothy 3:14. Like a Baptist professor in Tuscan
said: “A woman cannot be a husband…the end.” ---But not so for many who wanted to rebel
in the Adventist church licking wounds over the majority vote of the GC and
also getting a compliance document. ---Reaction? Special meeting at Riverside
church. What did they say? ---William Johnson the New Testament scholar
whom Hasel did not want to teach at the Seminary before 1994, the year of his
death. “Withhold tithes from the GC” he said. What? Rebelling with the issue
and now further rebelling from withholding God’s tithe from the GC suggested.
Wow. If this is not apostacy what is. I think Hasel was right. Source: On Monday night
(10-29-2018) three officers from the SECC held a Non-Compliance townhall
meeting at the Rubidoux SDA Church in Riverside CA. The meeting was
live-streamed. Excerpts from the meeting are listed below this video: https://www.fulcrum7.com/news/2018/10/30/secc-non-compliance-meeting-summary-wo-is-a-social-justice-issue ---What the rebels do not know is that Woman
Ordination is connected to Gay ministry and both are non-biblical. A
non-Adventist study done sometime in 1993 suggested strongly this link after
studying reasons why churches split. ---Wait a minute. The NAD walked out of the
GC and built their own building. After rejection of Women Ordination and kept
their tithes back. Johnson et al at Riverside applied. ---Where did this separation idea originate?
Who was the father of it? Remember that we are studying apostacy. Do not let it
out of the eye. ---The father of separation and becoming
independent is Raymond Forrest Cottrell (1911-2003). He said it himself in an
autobiography to his submission of all his files to Loma Linda and copied to
Andrews University Library by request from them. ---And downloaded from the internet at Andrews
University is the source: Read it for yourself. It is called at Andrews James
White Archives as: Raymond F. Cottrell (Collection 238). Thanks. Here is an

an article. He said the sun went down over Theology when Hasel came. In the
article around 1978. --- He was against Ellen White’s authority
(consult the same source) against the Investigative Judgment (same source) was
the first member of the Adventist church to become a member of the Evangelical
Society. Mmm. That is a mouthful. Be careful of sitting in the wrong circles.
Insisted on preterism for prophecy [own time insistence rather than historicism
of Adventism]. Did you read Edwin de Kock’s works? ---But Adventist leaders are careful and
careless. “I do not care about this issue” a pastor of a church told me in
South Korea. Ok. He is careless. Then he added: “But I am for woman
ordination”. I said: “I know and feel sorry for you”. ---Sorry? Apostacy. ---It is not a biblical issue some say.
Biblical issue. Is the fruit that Eve ate a biblical issue or not? Is the
origin of that act sin or not? Small things interest God. Like not cooking on
Sabbath. Wow. Stop please. ---You are upsetting us. Upsetting? Who do
you think is upset? God is. In Jeremia 45 God told him to speak straight to his
scribe Baruch. A talented educated young man who complained that God is
destroying his future and he has no rest when he has to write all these
messages. ---God said to Baruch: “Because you desire
big things for yourself”. Wow. Does it sound familiar? We must try to bring the
numbers of our non-Adventists at our school higher so that we can buy better
cars and have better apartments. No, they do not say that. ---Secularizing. The rich get richer and the
poor get poorer. Also at our institutions. Is that true? This is not a
communism debate or socialism or civil right activism. This is about spiritual
poverty due to financial focus. ---So churches are running empty in the USA.
A pastor from the USA preached last Sabbath in our church saying that a Baptist
church has become a bar or similar. ---I thought by myself the rule is: “You
make your bed…you sleep in it”. ---So why are churches closing down in the USA? ---Why would God bless a society that is
promoting non-biblical values like Woman ordination and Gay ministry and LGBTQH
rights? ---Thus decay and degeneration and empty
churches. ---But, said one source, the issue is that
the Building of Churches generation is dying out. 13000 of them die every day.
They were the ones who was born before 1946. Source: Thom S. Rainer, Five Reasons Why
Churches Are Dying and Declining Faster Today ---Yes Rainer, it is one issue but it could
have been different if the church did not rebel for Women Ordination, rebel for
Gay Ministry, rebel to withhold tithe, rebel to be independent because they
could not get their vote. ---Heaven can see, the Holy Spirit on earth
too. So if disasters are roaming around…it is because the faithful do not stay
faithful…not because the evil is abounding. ---Now what can happen if a leader is
faithful? Present president Il-Mok Kim is probably the greatest university
president in South Korea. ---Why? God punished past presidents for not
walking their specific lines God charted for them specifically and for no-one
else on campus. Result? Debt. ---As Covid president Il-Mok Kim and his
Vice President of Finance went together finance harvesting in the USA. Very
faithful both of them. I can testify. ---Both of them may not agree with anything
I wrote above so there is no connection here. Do not guess or be opinionated. ---The reality is..because they were
faithful, on their knees…following the lines that God chartered for them
specifically, they succeeded in removing the debt of Sahmyook University and
some surpluses. Wow. That is in the Covid Period. ---Kyungpook University is the number one
university of South Korea and in January this year of the COVID, they did not
have finances to switch our classrooms on with heaters and students had to be
taught by me and my co-worker 17 degrees or when someone complained, 19
degrees. Why? No money. It is a government university. No money. ---So God help those who is willing to walk
the charted lines God has specifically for that elected president and for no
other person on campus. Correct? ---So churches are splitting from their
mother churches over woman ordination and gay ministry and ecumenism. Who? In
South African 18th October the General Synod of South Africa for the
Calvinistic Church, Dutch Reform Church refused to get in line with the Bible.
Result? This month and this week in November the crying ones [dolerendes]
announced the starting of the process of breaking away from them. ---What did Ellen White saw? Pastors with
their whole congregations joined the remnant. ---Where is the remnant? Culture focused and
orientated or Bible focused and orientated? ---It is the wish of governments that Bible
will not be taught at theology schools but rather sociology, anthropology and
psychology. They want charities, bazaars, entertainment, care for the poor,
care for the elderly, to take priority. And they will finance it with Grants
for the religious school. No strings attached…not yet? ---Hello if you are still reading. ---Are you on your knees asking yourself
where you are? ---Are there inroads in your local church of
church music from Presbyterian Youth Music? Drums, guitars, loud synthesizers,
piano pushed off the stage and the hymnbook gathering dust or is not visible
any longer? Hello. ---It is time to wake up Laodicea, John said
and we know it so well, or did sometime ago …before we drove our latest BMW. ---Is your phone out to contact your local
pastor at the Adventist Church? Tell him you are interested in historicism and
not preterism in prophecy and can he tell you more about Daniel and Revelation
but not with Ranko Stefanovich because he told one of the professors in New
Testament that the book was not written for an Adventist audience. Oops. Not
your book. Another one please. Of the older ones. When? Now.
