in the “Great Controversy.” Interestingly, the UN Secretary General
Ban Ki-moon recently visited the new pope and invited him to the UN
headquarters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvYVue4t-10) and
also stated that the goals of the Pope and his choice of name sent a
powerful message to the world which was in line with that of the UN
regarding the millennium goals for 2015 (http://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=CM011HlUtAk). It is out of the UN that a new world order
has to evolve because what is ‘good’ for individuals must be good for
nations as well. All nations must be brought into harmony with its
charta and if they refuse they will be marginalized and if necessary
forced to comply.
How does Sunday legislation factor in to the
financial crisis?
The new bailout directives for European states ensure--no, enforce
Sunday rest and provide the means of enforcing it. If the Pope calls
for this social justice for the sake of the poor and marginalized and for
the equitable distribution of wealth then the masses (in democracies
the power lies with the masses not the minorities), through their
respective states, will be ready to give their power unto the beast and
to bring about the final confrontation in the battle between Christ and
Satan.
The great controversy between Christ and Satan is coming to a climax.
How should God’s people respond and what is their mission?
Isa 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and
shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
“In a special sense Seventh-day Adventists have been set in the world as
watchmen and light-bearers. To them has been entrusted the last warning
for a perishing world. On them is shining wonderful light from the Word
of God. They have been given a work of the most solemn import,--the
proclamation of the first, second, and third angels’ messages. There is
no other work of so great importance. They are to allow nothing else to
absorb their attention. {Ev 119.3}
The most solemn truths ever entrusted to mortals have been given us
to proclaim to the world. The proclamation of these truths is to be our
work. The world is to be warned, and God’s people are to be true to
the trust committed to them. . . . {Ev 120.1}
Shall we wait until God’s judgments fall upon the transgressor before
we tell him how to avoid them? Where is our faith in the Word of God?
Must we see things foretold come to pass before we will believe what
He has said? In clear, distinct rays light has come to us, showing us
that the great day of the Lord is near at hand, “even at the door.”-Testimonies, vol. 9, pp. 19, 20. (1909) {Ev 120.2}”
Some call such talk of current events and the role of the Vatican and
the UN "conspiracy theories". They are willfully blind to the meaning
of current developments and the manipulation of the masses, even
though their job as Adventists is to warn the world as these are taking
place, so that people are not deceived. What warning is given in the
Bible and Spirit of Prophecy about such indifference and blindness
among our own people?
"Unless we understand the importance of passing events, and make
ready to stand in the great day of God, we shall be registered in the

books of heaven as unfaithful stewards. The
watchman is to know the time of the night.
Everything is now clothed with a solemnity
that all who believe the truth should feel and
understand. They should act in reference to the
great day of God. " {8MR 154.3}
It is hard to comprehend that there are those
among us who fail to see that the events
unfolding before our eyes are fulfillments of
prophecy. Many are so blinded by the fair
face of the modern A
