Sunday Scenario-3 quotes

“When the final test shall be brought to bear upon men, then the line of distinction will be drawn between those who serve God and those who serve Him not. While the observance of the false sabbath in compliance with the law of the state, contrary to the fourth commandment, will be an avowal of allegiance to a power that is in opposition to God, the keeping of the true Sabbath, in obedience to God's law, is an evidence of loyalty to the Creator. While one class, by accepting the sign of submission to earthly powers, receive the mark of the beast, the other choosing the token of allegiance to divine authority, receive the seal of God.” Great Controversy, p 605.

“If the light of truth has been presented to you, revealing the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and showing that there is no foundation in the Word of God for Sunday observance, and yet you still cling to the false sabbath, refusing to keep holy the Sabbath which God calls "My holy day," you receive the mark of the beast. When does this take place? When you obey the decree that commands you to cease from labor on Sunday and worship God, while you know that there is not a word in the Bible showing Sunday to be other than a common working day, you consent to receive the mark of the beast, and refuse the seal of God. If we receive this mark in our foreheads or in our hands, the judgments pronounced against the disobedient must fall upon us. But the seal of the living God is placed upon those who conscientiously keep the Sabbath of the Lord.” Review and Herald, July 13, 1897, par 6.

“There can be only two classes. Each party is distinctly stamped, either with the seal of the living God, or with the mark of the beast or his image.” Review and Herald, January 30, 1900, par 4.

“Every case had been decided for life or death. While Jesus had been ministering in the sanctuary, the judgment had been going on for the righteous dead, and then for the righteous living. Christ had received His kingdom, having made the atonement for His people and blotted out their sins. The subjects of the kingdom were made up. The marriage of the Lamb was consummated.” Early Writings, p 280.

“And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand”. Revelation 7:1-4.

“The true people of God, who have the spirit of the work of the Lord and the salvation of souls at heart, will ever view sin in its real, sinful character. They will always be on the side of faithful and plain dealing with sins which easily beset the people of God. Especially in the closing work for the church, in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are to stand without fault before the throne of God, will they feel most deeply the wrongs of God's professed people.” Testimonies, vol 3, p 266.

“John saw a Lamb on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 having His Father's name written in their foreheads. They bore the signet of heaven. They reflected the image of God. They were full of the light and the glory of the Holy One. If we would have the image and superscription of God upon us, we must separate ourselves from all iniquity. We must forsake every evil way, and then we must trust our cases in the hands of Christ. While we are working out our own salvation with fear and trembling, God will work in us to will and to do of His own good pleasure.” Review and Herald, March 19, 1889, par 6.

The number of the 144,000 is literal, not symbolic, because John heard the number of them that were sealed. These are living people, not dead ones, who make up this special group who will stand with Christ on Mount Zion. The 144,000 are also made up of saints, or those people who are converted, dedicated and holy to the Lord. This group is also made up in these last days, because they receive the seal of the living God while they still live, which cannot be given without first passing the test on the Image and the Mark of the Beast! This means that each one of God's followers today have the privilege and honor to become one of the 144,000 and to enter into marriage with the Lamb of God if they will indeed separate from all sin, forsake every evil way, and trust our cases fully in the hands of Christ!

"At that time shall Michael stand up, the great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book." Daniel 12:1.

“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” Revelation 22:11.

“I was pointed down to the time when the third angel's message was closing. The power of God had rested upon His people; they had accomplished their work and were prepared for the trying hour before them. They had received the latter rain, or refreshing from the presence of the Lord, and the living testimony had been revived. The last great warning had sounded everywhere, and it had stirred up and enraged the inhabitants of the earth who would not receive the message.

“I saw angels hurrying to and fro in heaven. An angel with a writer's inkhorn by his side returned from the earth and reported to Jesus that his work was done, and the saints were numbered and sealed. Then I saw Jesus, who had been ministering before the ark containing the ten commandments, throw down the censer. He raised His hands, and with a loud voice said, "It is done." And all the angelic host laid off their crowns as Jesus made the solemn declaration, "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."

“Every case had been decided for life or death....And the kingdom, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, was given to Jesus and the heirs of salvation, and Jesus was to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords.” Early Writings, p 279-280.

“When Jesus ceases to plead for man, the cases of all are forever decided....Probation closes; Christ's intercessions cease in heaven. This time finally comes suddenly upon all, and those who have neglected to purify their souls by obeying the truth are found sleeping.” Testimonies, vol 2, p 191.

“But many will be found wanting in that great day. The precious hours of probation will have passed by unimproved, and when it is too late the mournful cry will be heard, The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, and my soul is not saved. When the righteous Judge shall proclaim the destiny of all fixed--"He which is filthy, let him be filthy still...and he that is holy, let him be holy still"--it will be a time when the most careless, the most trifling will come to their senses and discern that the truly wise were those who loved God and kept His commandments.

“Long have the gates stood ajar for you, long has the heavenly light been shining upon your path. Let it not be slighted, but gather up its precious rays to reflect upon others. Jesus loves us and we should love one another. We should be meek and lowly, pure and undefiled, and if we are thus we shall meet the approval of God here, and the blessed "Well done" when the Master comes.” Manuscript Releases, vol 19, p 192-193.

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” Romans 13:11-14.

The Beast and its Image are very quiet about the extent of persecution and the amount of deaths that will soon come upon those who refuse to go along with the plan to worship on Sunday. But the other groups of Lucifer seeking for the establishment of the New Age and the New or One World Order are very vocal.

"I perceive, on a mass scale, that the New Age is not going to come into being as so many people believe and wish to believe. I see it as requiring a...lot of blood, disruption, chaos and pain for a mass change to occur." Magical Blend, Issue #16, 1987, p 22.

Those Christians who choose to be loyal to the living God of Heaven, being obedient only to Him and His truth, who worship Him on His seventh day Sabbath, who refuse to obey the command of the One World Church and One World Government to worship on Sunday, will be considered antagonistic to this One World Order and will be targeted for removal out of it!

"Those who fall back to old-time religions are trying to hide in the past...Such timidity is unacceptable. We have to face the world as it is, doing what is necessary to save it....A growing number of people...are sponsoring a backlash against the wave of religious fundamental fanaticism...The right course to take is that which will lead to a new world of unity and world law." Solar Man, p 244-247, by Thomas Ehrenzeller.

"The New Age [which] will bring joy and happiness unexcelled since the days of the Atlantean era." But only those whose minds are "open to the reality of one world" will be around to enjoy this "wondrous era." Threshold To Tomorrow, p 206-207, by Ruth Montgomery.

But just how many people are estimated as needing to be eliminated from the earth in order to bring about this “wonderous era” of Lucifer’s great One World Order Plan? New Age advocate, Barbara Marx Hubbard states:

"No worldly peace can prevail until the self-centered members of the planetary body [Christians] either change or die. That is the choice....Destruction...[to] those who refuse to be born into God-centered, universal life....Only the God-centered will survive to inherit the powers of a universal species....

"We will use whatever means we must to make this act of destruction as quick and painless as possible to the one half of the world who are capable of evolving." Barbara Marx Hubbard in Prophecy in the News, April, 1990; quoted in Globalism, p 2-4, by Raymond Blanton.

As only "one half" of the world's population are estimated as being capable of evolving into this One World Order, then the other half of the world's population must be targeted for destruction! This means that more than 3 ½ billion people are targeted to be murdered in order to establish Lucifer’s One World Order!

5) How could this mass murder of such a staggering amount of human beings be permitted? Because of the belief in the false doctrine of the immortality of the soul. When someone dies the belief is that they do not really cease to exist, but just have another chance to properly evolve into someone who will accept the Plan and thus be accepted back into the physical world.

The Bible states that death is just like sleep (see John 11:11-14; 1 Corinthians 11:30, 15:20), that the dead know not anything (Ecclesiastes 9:5-6), that all the dead will be resurrected either to eternal life because their actions were judged to be good and founded in the Lord Jesus (see John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; Luke 14:14), or they will afterwards be resurrected to suffer the lake of fire and eternal death because their actions were judged to be evil and founded in the devil (see John 5:28-29; 2 Peter 2:9; Revelation 20:11-15).

Since the followers of Lucifer believe in the immortality of the soul, then the killing of all who oppose the Plan for a One World Order is not looked upon as being wrong. Thus this plan for mass murder is not feared or looked upon as being in-human or evil, but is seen to be something desirable in order to more quickly bring about the establishment of the One World Order.

"Death is not a disaster to be feared; the work of the Destroyer is not cruel or undesirable...therefore, there is much destruction permitted by the Custodians of The Plan and much evil turned into good." Alice Bailey, the great High Priestess of the New Age Movement, quoted in Whole Life Times, Winter, 1986-1987, p 57, 71-72.

Persecution and "a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation" (see 2 Timothy 3:12; Daniel 12:1) is soon to break forth upon the world. This planned persecution and murder of over 3 ½ billion people today will more than rival the persecution of the Christians during any time in the history of this world! It will be greater than the millions of Early Christians which suffered and died by the hand of the Romans; greater than the 50 million Protestants which suffered and died by the hand of the Papacy during the Dark Ages (see The Other End of the World, p 127, 191, by Roger Rusk); and greater than the 1-3 million French people which suffered and died during the French Revolution (see The French Revolution, p 419, by Nesta Webster).

Those who choose to follow Lucifer's Plan will be blinded to think that their long hoped for Millennial New Age of peace and tranquility will not become a reality until all the people of the world – especially Sabbath-keepers – compromise and change their beliefs, or are eliminated to then have a supposed second chance to change.

"They will find it impossible, however, to halt the momentum of change, and eventually will have to adapt to the new conditions...the alternative is annihilation." Maitreya's Mission, p 109, 128, by Benjamin Creme.

"And Death...the ‘power to relinquish,’ [or take away life], which becomes in time the characteristic of the pledged disciple. The New Era is coming; the new ideals, the new civilization, the new modes of life, of education, of religious presentation and of government are slowly precipitating and naught can stop them. They can, however, be delayed by the reactionary types of people, by the ultra-conservative and closed minds, and by those who cling with adamantive determination to their beloved theories [or truths of God's Word], their interpretations and their peculiar and oft narrow understanding of the presented ideals. They are the ones who can and do hold back the hour of liberation [of the world from everything against the Coming One--or Lucifer]....these must all be brought under the power of death. They can be relinquished with safety and security and not fear of results..." The Externalisation of the Hierarchy, p 276-279, by Alice Bailey.

“Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.” Isaiah 35:3-4.

“Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria (Lucifer), nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him: With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words”. 2 Chronicles 32:7-8.

“Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God...will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work”. 1 Chronicles 28:20.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” Matthew 28:19-20.

"At that time shall Michael stand up, the great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book." Daniel 12:1. “After Jesus rises up from the mediatorial throne, every case will be decided.” Selected Messages, book 3, p 399. “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.” Revelation 22:11. “I was pointed down to the time when the third angel's message was closing.

The Beast and its Image are very quiet about the extent of persecution and the amount of deaths that will soon come upon those who refuse to go along with the plan to worship on Sunday. But the other groups of Lucifer seeking for the establishment of the New Age and the New or One World Order are very vocal. Christopher Hyatt, who is the head of the secret society called Order of the Golden Dawn, states: "I perceive, on a mass scale, that the New Age is not going to come into being as so many people believe and wish to believe. I see it as requiring a...lot of blood, disruption, chaos and pain for a mass change to occur." Magical Blend, Issue #16, 1987, p 22. The Maitreya, or a false christ of the New Age, states: "Man must change or die; there is no other course." Reappearance of the Christ, p 246, by Benjamin Creme. Those Christians who choose to be loyal to the living God of Heaven, being obedient only to Him and His truth, who worship Him on His seventh day Sabbath, who refuse to obey the command of the One World Church and One World Government to worship on Sunday, will be considered antagonistic to this One World Order and will be targeted for removal out of it! "Those who fall back to old-time religions are trying to hide in the past...Such timidity is unacceptable.

Solar Man, p 244-247, by Thomas Ehrenzeller. Ehrenzeller states that this backlash against fundamental Christians, "is the final, most critical stage in the maturation and civilization of man." Solar Man, p 6. But even "spirit guides", which we know to be evil angels, have already revealed years ago that after all those who refuse to go along with the Plan are removed, then there will be: "The New Age [which] will bring joy and happiness unexcelled since the days of the Atlantean era."

Benjamin Creme readily admits that: "Man must share [in Luciferic beliefs] or die.... "Those who remain adamant will eventually find themselves in the minority and will have to live with it or withdraw from this life.... "They will find it impossible, however, to halt the momentum of change, and eventually will have to adapt to the new conditions...the alternative is annihilation." Maitreya's Mission, p 109, 128, by Benjamin Creme. Alice Bailey writes: "We are told that Light and Love and Power and Death must be invoked to fulfill the purpose of the Coming One [the Rider from the secret place, or Lucifer].... "Light, with which to see the new vision... "Love...the fixed determination to do what is best for the whole of humanity, or for the group....

They are the ones who can and do hold back the hour of liberation [of the world from everything against the Coming One--or Lucifer]....these must all be brought under the power of death. They can be relinquished with safety and security and not fear of results..."
