THE SOLEMN SEALING WORK OF THE THIRD ANGEL’S MESSAGE REVEALED

“Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” Eph. 4:30, KJV.

In the Bible “mark,” “seal,” and “sign” are synonymous. I must share this urgent subject to all who can hear the “still small voice” of the Holy Spirit speaking to their conscience. Harden your hearts! No wonder I could not fall asleep at my usual sleeping time last night. This was suddenly urged upon me. I looked at the time on my phone. It was 9:30. I normally should have been asleep by then. I promptly obeyed and started typing lest I grieve the Holy Spirit!

This urgent message begins with what God revealed to the prophet Ezekiel. Pray that the Holy Spirit will do His appointed work of guiding, convicting and convincing your mind as you read on:
“v 1 He cried also in mid ears with a loud voice [as with the first angel’s message, Rev. 14: 6.7], saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
v 2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
v 3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side;
v 4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a MARK upon the FOREHEADS of the men that sigh and cry for the abominations that be done in the midst [of Jerusalem] thereof.
v 5 And go the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity.
v 6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom the MARK: and BEGIN in My sanctuary.

Then they began with the ancient men which were before the house.” Eze. 9: 1-6, KJV. Here’s the what the Spirit of prophecy, which is the Testimony of Jesus (Rev. 19:10) says: – 5T 208-9: “Jesus is about to leave the mercy seat of the heavenly sanctuary to put on garments of vengeance and pour out His wrath in judgments upon those who have NOT responded to the light God has given them.

‘Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil’ [Eccl 8:11]. Instead of being SOFTENED by the patience and the long forbearance that the Lord has exercised toward them, those who FEAR NOT God and LOVE NOT the truth STRENGTHEN their hearts in their evil course.

But there are LIMITS even to the forbearance of God, and many are EXCEEDING these boundaries. They have OVERRUN THE LIMITS OF GRACE, and therefore God must interfere and VINDICATE His own honor.” – E.G. White, Vol. 5 Testimonies, pp. 208, 209).

This must be carefully examined in the context of the investigative judgment currently taking place in the most holy in heaven, that begun with the dead who professed faith in Christ, starting with Adam, and will soon pass on to the cases of the living!

Begin reviewing the seven last plagues given in Revelation in “order to know how to avoid it.”

(To be continued). Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation for the spirit may be willing but the flesh is weak! Bless all, NMF

THE DIETARY ASPECT OF GENUINE HEALTH REFORM OF THE THIRD ANGEL’S MESSAGE

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb [plant] bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for MEAT [Hebrew “oklah,” meaning food].” Gen. 1:29, KJV. Verse 31 states: “And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was VERY good. And the evening and the morning was the SIXTH day.”

After air and water, food is the third most fundamental need of man and lesser creatures. Hence, in His omniscient wisdom and foresight, seeing that food and desire would be the natural testing grounds to prove loyalty of man to God, He contemplated and designed the plan of redemption for fallen man to—naturally and logically—begin the work of restoring His lost image in fallen man by bringing him in the last days, as close as is possible, back to the original diet given in Eden. Thus the Spirit of prophecy reveals:

“Again and again I have been shown that God is trying to lead us back, step by step, to His original design—that man should subsist upon the natural products of the earth.”

“Vegetables, fruits and grains should compose our diet. Not an ounce of FLESH meat should enter our stomachs. The eating of flesh is unnatural. We are to return to God’s original purpose in the creation of man.”

“Among those who are waiting [and preparing] for the coming of the Lord, meat-eating will be done away. Flesh will cease to form a part of their diet.”

“Greater reform should be seen among the people who claim to be looking for the second appearing of Christ. Health reform is to do among our people a work which it has NOT YET done. There are those who ought to be AWAKE to the danger of meat-eating, who are still the flesh of animals, thus endangering the PHYSICAL, MENTAL, and SPIRITUAL HEALTH. Many who are now HALF-CONVERTED on the question of meat-eating will GO from God’s people to walk NO MORE with them.” [Mark that!].

“CANCERS, tumors, and all inflammatory diseases are LARGELY caused by meat-eating. From the light given me, the prevalence of cancers and tumors is largely due to gross living on DEAD FLESH.”

“If there ever was a time [written back in 1869] when the diet should be of the most SIMPLE kind, it is NOW. Meat should NOT be placed BEFORE THE CHILDREN [Take note parents!]. Its influence is to EXCITE the lower passions, and has a tendency to DEADEN the moral powers.” (E.G. White, Counsels on Diet and Foods, pp. 380, 382, 389-399).

Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you both to WILL and to DO His good pleasure! Bless all, NMF.
