Sabbath Delight

1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
5 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.
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.
7 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
12 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
17 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

chapter 18 “Security in the Home”

Human Love Should Draw on Divine Love

It is only in Christ that a marriage alliance can be safely formed. Human love should draw its closest bonds from divine love. [See section V, “Life’s energizing force.”] Only where Christ reigns can there be deep, true, unselfish affection.—The Ministry of Healing, 358 (1905). {1MCP 152.1}

Reaching God’s Ideal

Men and women can reach God’s ideal for them if they will take Christ as their helper. What human wisdom cannot do, His grace will accomplish for those who give themselves to Him in loving trust. His providence can unite hearts in bonds that are of heavenly origin. Love will not be a mere exchange of soft and flattering words. The loom of heaven weaves with warp and woof finer, yet more firm, than can be woven by the looms of earth. The result is not a tissue fabric but a texture that will bear wear and test and trial. Heart will be bound to heart in the golden bonds of a love that is enduring.—The Ministry of Healing, 362 (1905). {1MCP 152.2}

Weigh Every Sentiment in Contemplating Marriage

Let those who are contemplating marriage weigh every sentiment and watch every development of character in the one with whom they think to unite their life destiny. Let every step toward a marriage alliance be characterized by modesty, simplicity, sincerity, and an earnest purpose to please and honor God. Marriage affects the afterlife both in this world and in the world to come. A sincere Christian will make no plans that God cannot approve.—The Ministry of Healing, 359 (1905). {1MCP 152.3}

Real Union Is the Work of Years

However carefully and wisely marriage may have been entered into, few couples are completely united when the marriage ceremony is performed. The real union of the two in wedlock is the work of the afteryears.—The Ministry of Healing, 359, 360 (1905). {1MCP 153.1}

Romantic Imagination Disappears

As life with its burden of perplexity and care meets the newly wedded pair, the romance with which imagination so often invests marriage disappears. Husband and wife learn each other’s character as it was impossible to learn it in their previous association. This is a most critical period in their experience. The happiness and usefulness of their whole future life depend upon their taking a right course now. Often they discern in each other unsuspected weaknesses and defects, but the hearts that love has united will discern excellencies also heretofore unknown. Let all seek to discover the excellencies rather than the defects. Often it is our own attitude, the atmosphere that surrounds ourselves, which determines what will be revealed to us in another. {1MCP 153.2}

There are many who regard the expression of love as a weakness, and they maintain a reserve that repels others. This spirit checks the current of sympathy. As the social and generous impulses are repressed, they wither, and the heart becomes desolate and cold. We should beware of this error. Love cannot long exist without expression. Let not the heart of one connected with you starve for the want of kindness and sympathy.—The Ministry of Healing, 360 (1905). {1MCP 153.3; 1MCP.162.3}

Love Stimulates to Nobler Aims

Let each give love rather than exact it. Cultivate that which is noblest in yourselves, and be quick to recognize the good qualities in each other. The consciousness of being appreciated is a wonderful stimulus and satisfaction. Sympathy and respect encourage the striving after excellence, and love itself increases as it stimulates to nobler aims.—The Ministry of Healing, 361 (1905). {1MCP 154.1}

Individuality Not to Be Merged

Neither the husband nor the wife should merge his or her individuality in that of the other. Each has a personal relation to God. Of Him each is to ask, “What is right?” “What is wrong?” “How may I best fulfill life’s purpose?” Let the wealth of your affection flow forth to Him who gave His life for you. Make Christ first and last and best in everything. As your love for Him becomes deeper and stronger your love for each other will be purified and strengthened.—The Ministry of Healing, 361 (1905). {1MCP 154.2}

We have an individuality of our own, and the wife’s individuality is never to be sunk into that of her husband. God is our Creator. We are His by creation, and we are His by redemption. We want to see how much we can render back to God, because He gives us the moral power, He gives us the efficiency, He gives us the intellect; and He wants us to make the most of these precious gifts to His name’s glory.— Manuscript 12, 1895. {1MCP 154.3; 1MCP.163.3}

Entire Submission Only to Jesus

God requires that the wife shall keep the fear and glory of God ever before her. Entire submission is to be made only to the Lord Jesus Christ, who has purchased her as His own child by the infinite price of His life…. Her individuality cannot be merged into that of her husband, for she is the purchase of Christ.— Letter 18b, 1891 ( The Adventist Home, 116.) {1MCP 154.4}

Thought That Union Is a Mistake Not to Be Harbored

Though difficulties, perplexities, and discouragements may arise, let neither husband nor wife harbor the thought that their union is a mistake or a disappointment. Determine to be all that it is possible to be to each other. Continue the early attentions. In every way encourage each other in fighting the battles of life. Study to advance the happiness of each other. Let there be mutual love, mutual forbearance. Then marriage, instead of being the end of love, will be as it were the very beginning of love. The warmth of true friendship, the love that binds heart to heart, is a foretaste of the joys of heaven.—The Ministry of Healing, 360 (1905). {1MCP 154.5}

Relationship Controlled by Reason

Those who regard the marriage relation as one of God’s sacred ordinances, guarded by His holy precept, will be controlled by the dictates of reason. They will consider carefully the result of every privilege the marriage relation grants. Such will feel that their children are precious jewels committed to their keeping by God, to remove from their natures the rough surface by discipline, that their luster may appear. They will feel under most solemn obligations to so form their characters that they may do good in their life, bless others with their light, and the world be better for their having lived in it, and they be finally fitted for the higher life, the better world, to shine in the presence of God and the Lamb forever.—Healthful Living, 48, 1865 (Part 2) . {1MCP 155.1}

A Well-organized Family

The family firm should be well organized. Together the father and mother should consider their responsibilities. Together they should work for the highest good of their children. There is to be no variance between them. Never should they in the presence of their children criticize each other’s plans or question each other’s judgment. If the wife is inexperienced, she should try to find out where her work makes the work for her husband more difficult as he labors for the salvation of the children. And the husband should hold up the hands of his wife, giving her wise counsel and loving encouragement.—The Review and Herald, July 8, 1902. {1MCP 155.2}

Parents Must Govern Themselves

Parents who successfully govern their families must first govern themselves. If they would only have pleasant words in their families, they must let their children hear only pleasant words from their lips. The planting of the seed will produce a like harvest. Parents have a solemn, sacred work to perform in educating their children by precept and example. They are under obligation to God to present their children to Him fitted at a very early period to receive an intelligent knowledge of what is comprehended in being a follower of Jesus Christ. If those who claim to be Bible Christians have children who do not fear and love God, in most cases it is because the parents’ example has not been a correct one. False, spurious seeds have been sown which have produced a harvest of briers and thorns.— Manuscript 59, 1900. {1MCP 156.1}

Gentle Words and Smiles for the Family

It is not only our privilege but our duty to cultivate gentleness, to have the peace of Christ in the heart and as peacemakers and followers of Christ to sow precious seed that will produce a harvest unto eternal life. Professed followers of Christ may possess many good and useful qualities; but their characters are greatly marred by an unkind, fretful, faultfinding, harshly judging temper. The husband or the wife who cherishes suspicion and distrust creates dissension and strife in the home. Neither of them should keep his gentle words and smiles for strangers alone, and manifest irritability in the home, thus driving out peace and contentment.— Letter 34, 1894 (HC 179.) {1MCP 156.2}

Vulgar Speaking to Be Avoided

Fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, I beseech you, do not indulge in low thought and vulgar speaking. Coarse sayings, low jests, want of courtesy in the homelife, will leave an impression upon you, and if frequently repeated will become second nature. The home is too sacred a place to be polluted with vulgarity, sensuality, and recrimination. There is a Witness who declares, “I know thy works.” Let love, truth, kindness, and forbearance be the plants cultivated in the garden of the heart.— Letter 18b, 1891 {1MCP 156.3}

Never Manifest Rudeness or Unkindness

Do you never manifest rudeness, unkindness, and impoliteness in the family circle? If you do manifest unkindness at your home, no matter how high may be your profession, you are breaking God’s commandments.—The Review and Herald, March 29, 1892. {1MCP 157.1}

Friends Not to Meddle in Homelife (counsel to a young man)

The home circle should be regarded as a sacred place, a symbol of heaven, a mirror in which to reflect ourselves. Friends and acquaintances we may have, but in the homelife they are not to meddle. A strong sense of proprietorship should be felt, giving a sense of ease, restfulness, trust. {1MCP 157.2}

But your association with other women and girls has been a source of temptation to them, leading them to take liberties and overstep the restraint which the marriage relation imposes on every man and woman. You have not perceived it, but your love of amusement and the spirit you have encouraged has not impressed others with the sacredness of the marriage relation. {1MCP 157.3; 1MCP.166.1}

Practical homelife is the great test of character. By his tender thoughtfulness in the home, by the exercise of patience, kindness, and love, a man determines his character.— Letter 17, 1895 {1MCP 157.4; 1MCP.166.2}

Wives Pine for Words of Love

Many women pine for words of love and kindness and the common attentions and courtesies due them from their husbands who have selected them as their life companions. How much trouble and what a tide of woe and unhappiness would be saved if men, and women also, would continue to cultivate the regard, attention, and kind words of appreciation and little courtesies of life which kept love alive and which they felt were necessary in gaining the companions of their choice. {1MCP 157.5}

If the husband and wife would only continue to cultivate these attentions which nourish love, they would be happy in each other’s society and would have a sanctifying influence upon their families. They would have in themselves a little world of happiness and would not desire to go outside this world for new attractions and new objects of love. Many a wife has sickened and died prematurely for the want of encouraging words of sympathy and love manifested in kindly attentions and in words.— Letter 27, 1872. {1MCP 158.1; 1MCP.166.4}

Husband Can Shut the Door Against Disease

The husband should manifest great interest in his family. Especially should he be very tender of the feelings of a feeble wife. He can shut the door against much disease. Kind, cheerful, and encouraging words will prove more effective than the most healing medicines. These will bring courage to the heart of the desponding and discouraged, and the happiness and sunshine brought into the family by kind acts and encouraging words will repay the effort tenfold. {1MCP 158.2}

The husband should remember that much of the burden of training his children rests upon the mother, that she has much to do with molding their minds. This should call into exercise his tenderest feelings, and with care should he lighten her burdens. He should encourage her to lean upon his large affections, and direct her mind to heaven, where there is strength and peace and a final rest for the weary. {1MCP 158.3; 1MCP.167.1}

He should not come into his home with a clouded brow, but should with his presence bring sunlight into the family and should encourage his wife to look up and believe in God. Unitedly they can claim the promises of God and bring His rich blessing into the family. Unkindness, complaining, and anger shut Jesus from the dwelling. I saw that angels of God will flee from a house where there are unpleasant words, fretfulness, and strife.—Testimonies for the Church 1:306, 307 (1862). {1MCP 158.4; 1MCP.167.2}

Husband Head of Household

The husband and father is the head of the household. The wife looks to him for love and sympathy and for aid in the training of the children; and this is right. The children are his as well as hers, and he is equally interested in their welfare. The children look to the father for support and guidance; he needs to have a right conception of life and of the influences and associations that should surround his family; above all, he should be controlled by the love and fear of God and by the teaching of His Word, that he may guide the feet of his children in the right way.—The Ministry of Healing, 390 (1905). {1MCP 159.1}

Wife a “Help Meet” for Husband

God Himself gave Adam a companion. He provided “an help meet for him”—a helper corresponding to him—one who was fitted to be his companion and who could be one with him in love and sympathy. Eve was created from a rib taken from the side of Adam, signifying that she was not to control him as the head, nor to be trampled under his feet as an inferior, but to stand by his side as an equal, to be loved and protected by him. A part of man, bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh, she was his second self, showing the close union and the affectionate attachment that should exist in this relation.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 46 (1890). {1MCP 159.2}

How to Create Peace in Home Circle

When the husband has the nobility of character, purity of heart, elevation of mind, that every true Christian must possess, it will be made manifest in the marriage relation…. He will seek to keep his wife in health and courage. He will strive to speak words of comfort, to create an atmosphere of peace in the home circle.— Manuscript 17, 1891. (The Adventist Home, 228.) {1MCP 159.3}

Husbands should study the pattern and seek to know what is meant by the symbol presented in Ephesians, the relation Christ sustains to the church. The husband is to be as a Saviour in his family. Will he stand in his noble, God-given manhood, ever seeking to uplift his wife and children? Will he breathe about him a pure, sweet atmosphere? Will he not as assiduously cultivate the love of Jesus, making it an abiding principle in his home, as he will assert his claims to authority?— Manuscript 17, 1891. (The Adventist Home, 117.) {1MCP 160.1; 1MCP.168.2}

Husband Not to Dwell on His Position

It is no evidence of manliness in the husband for him to dwell, constantly upon his position as head of the family. It does not increase respect for him to hear him quoting Scripture to sustain his claims to authority. It will not make him more manly to require his wife, the mother of his children, to act upon his plans as if they were infallible. {1MCP 160.2}

The Lord has constituted the husband the head of the wife to be her protector; he is the house-band of the family, binding the members together, even as Christ is the head of the church and the Saviour of the mystical body. Let every husband who claims to love God, carefully study the requirements of God is his position. Christ’s authority is exercised in wisdom, in all kindness and gentleness; so let the husband exercise his power and imitate the great Head of the church.— Letter 18b, 1891 (The Adventist Home, 215.) {1MCP 160.3; 1MCP.168.4}

Wife Cheerfully to Help Husband Maintain Dignity

I have also been shown that there is often a great failure on the part of the wife. She does not put forth strong efforts to control her own spirit and make home happy. There is often fretfulness and unnecessary complaining on her part. The husband comes home from his labor weary and perplexed, and meets a clouded brow instead of cheerful, encouraging words. He is but human, and his affections become weaned from his wife, he loses the love of his home, his pathway is darkened, and his courage destroyed. He yields his self-respect and that dignity which God requires him to maintain. {1MCP 160.4}

The husband is the head of the family, as Christ is the head of the church; and any course which the wife may pursue to lessen his influence and lead him to come down from that dignified, responsible position is displeasing to God. It is the duty of the wife to yield her wishes and will to her husband. Both should be yielding, but the Word of God gives preference to the judgment of the husband. And it will not detract from the dignity of the wife to yield to him whom she has chosen to be her counselor, adviser, and protector. The husband should maintain his position in his family with all meekness, yet with decision.—Testimonies for the Church 1:307, 308 (1862). {1MCP 161.1; 1MCP.169.1}

Man a Social Being

Among all the creatures that God had made on the earth, there was not one equal to man. And “God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18). Man was not made to dwell in solitude; he was to be a social being. Without companionship, the beautiful scenes and delightful employments of Eden would have failed to yield perfect happiness. Even communion with angels could not have satisfied his desire for sympathy and companionship. There was none of the same nature to love and to be loved.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 46 (1890). {1MCP 161.2}

Harmony in Home Possible Only by God’s Spirit

We must have the Spirit of God, or we can never have harmony in the home. The wife, if she has the spirit of Christ, will be careful of her words; she will control her spirit, she will be submissive, and yet will not feel that she is bondslave, but a companion to her husband. If the husband is a servant of God, he will not lord it over his wife; he will not be arbitrary and exacting. We cannot cherish home affection with too much care; for the home, if the Spirit of the Lord dwells there, is a type of heaven.— Letter 18b, 1891 (The Adventist Home, 118.) {1MCP 161.3}

The Inner Circle Paramount

All our powers are to be used for Christ. This is the debt we each owe to God. In forming a relationship with Christ, the renewed man is but coming back to his appointed relationship with God. He is a representative of Christ, and he is ever to pray and watch unto prayer. His duties lie around him, nigh and afar off. His first duty is to his children and his nearest relatives. Nothing can excuse him from neglecting the inner circle for the larger circle outside. {1MCP 162.1}

In the day of final reckoning, fathers and mothers will be required to answer in regard to their children. Parents will be asked what they did and said to secure the salvation of the souls they took upon themselves the responsibility of bringing into the world. Did they neglect their lambs, leaving them to the care of strangers? Fathers and mothers, are you allowing your children to grow up in impurity and sin? A great good done for others will not cancel the debt you owe to God to care for your children. The spiritual welfare of your family comes first. Take them with you to the cross of Calvary, laboring for them as those that must give an account.— Manuscript 56, 1899. {1MCP 162.2; 1MCP.170.1}

Beloved, October 10, 2017; 6:45 in the morning. The word of God came to me and said:

“Woe to those who twist the truth to feel calm! because they will only receive ridicule, blessed is he who trusts in Me!; There is a way that seems right to man but its end is the way of death; Israel will soon cry, because they trusted their soothsayer and false prophets who foreshadowed good when I, the Eternal, have declared evil; Why do you doubt my words and have my sayings as speculation?” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p1}

“Woe to you who put your feelings above a “it is written, and then you cry out for protection that you will not have!; because you have usurped my mandates with your reasoning and you do not divulge what was taught.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p2}

“Woe that it will come upon you and you will not escape!, because even children recognize the summer; What is the use of explanations and evidence if your reasoning is the only thing that counts?” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p3}

“Woe to you – the voice kept saying – because in a moment it will only be your lament and who will console you? you rejected the prophets and not even my own voice did you want to hear, you only heard doomsayers who said “peace” and “peace”, when I have spoken of war; but as you did not repent – He continued saying – even so a spirit of error will come upon you and you will not even know when you were born because you have rejected the Holy One of Israel and thus the Holy One of Israel has rejected you.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p4}

“There is no understanding in Israel” – He kept saying – “because they rejected me and did not want my advice, and now who will guide you? Blessed is he who trusts in me and makes me his advice and my commands his rule of action! Behold, fire, brimstone, smoke and pestilence are lurking because my hand is raised, why do they ignore my words and then cry out for me?” continued saying. Then He paused and said: “Will there be a savior in Sodom and will Gomorrah be able to free herself? Assyria will come upon you, and Egypt will enslave you because you have rejected the advice and trampled the right. Babylon will reign and believe that nothing will happen to her, and her subjects praise her.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p5}

“Woe to the ships of Chitim! Woe to Adma and Zeboim! Woe to those who follow you without knowing where they are going! For destruction will follow.”

Then again He paused and continued saying:

“Woe to you, Jerusalem, who congregate with Babylon! You are together with her to feel accepted. Have I not been a good husband that you should go after your lovers? If even when fire falls from heaven, before your eyes, you will not seek me because you loved your delights more than righteousness and your power more than truth.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p6}

“Woe to those who work in you for a price and sell their freedom for a price! can I not cast them off in an hour? and what they have, whose will it be? He asked. As I live, says the Eternal, that judgment after judgment, and punishment after punishment will come upon you and you will not escape because you were not the guardian or guardian of my truth; Come out of her, my people, go to your chambers, close your doors behind you while the indignation passes, because Jerusalem will be desolate and her followers, of price and bribe, will be swept away, because for this there is a term, because they rejected the advice and turned aside of righteousness and trampled on cause and truth and did not seek the Holy One of Israel.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p7}

He kept saying: “I, says the Eternal, declare destruction, fear and torment over you, and your glory who will it be for? He asked. You defiled my truth, you decreed evil to the upright and you rejoiced with the wicked, you became a den of every hateful bird, so you rejected it and desired it. I preserved you with my truth, pure and holy, but you did not want to and now your disguise is fallen and your evil will be openly known because you say you are the keeper of my commandments but you trample them.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p8}

“Woe to you!, as I live – says the Eternal – that I will not suffer you anymore, I will not protest any more, for me, because your protests have been bought with a price and you have rejected the Holy One of Israel and you have become a spoiled sister of a whore, will she protect you? And will not mock you?” He asked, “will you be the apple of her eye for her as you have been for me?” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p9}

“As I live,” says the Eternal, “they will make you a spoilage; And as you turned your back on the one who guided and sustained you, the Holy One of Israel, I will no longer be your guide, and only the blind will be leading the blind, and you will know that I am a jealous God who visits wickedness and abominates iniquity. Your ally will praise you and magnify you, and in a moment, but suddenly you will fall, and there is no one to help you because you trampled on the Just and hold back the truth and did not walk in integrity. Everyone will see you, and will celebrate for you thinking that the union is fulfilled, but soon they will see that there is a handful that follows me and lives hidden in me. You will join the oppressive laws, and you will try to subdue and destroy it, but you will not realize that my hand protects them and they live under the shadow of the Most High.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p10}

“Woe to you, because it is a great thing to fall under the hand of the Most High, they will go up first with my protection, but when it touches you, who will protect you? I gave them my Saturday as a sign and what have you done with them? There is no one in you who teaches law and justice that is not trampled on, this is your hour, but your reward awaits you.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p11}

“My real people are not in you, for my guide leads them away from you because of your abominations. You discarded the prophecy and twisted the right, and you do not bear my name, how did you think of being my beloved under such betrayal? As I live, says the Eternal, that everything is written for your destruction.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p12}

Then, beloved, He paused again and said: “My people, abandoned and persecuted! today I gather you in my rooms and I will redeem you and sustain you with the right hand of my justice, and although you are very few, next to me, you will be strong. After the hardship, you will be for a moment, and at last my spirit will rest fully in you, and you will come out of your rooms that I have taken you, and you will be a herald of faith and truth. The great whore and her followers will see you and will see the one to whom my truth was taken and twisted it and who was rejected and after being scared she will hate you and will try to lay her hands but will not prevail, because in me, it is time to shine with great light, final light to this world of darkness, many will come and many will be rescued; but finishing the count the light will be hidden by me, and your pursuers will not escape from my hand. For seven times I will hurt them and in their agony they will seek a solution, even more so there is a deadline for this. But when they want to attack you with blood and their hunt begins, I will rise from my place and what I have spoken will come upon them, and there will be no escape, and my hand and everyone will know that I am God and that there is none like Me . But my true children are hidden under my wings and they will see your torment in the distance, but they will not perish, because their food and water will be safe, did I not stipulate it by my servants the prophets? -said the Eternal- Have I forgotten?” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p13}

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” He kept saying, “the beginning and the end,” and my saying will be fulfilled as stipulated; “advance my people, do not stop!, He said, because your adversary the devil is plotting against you to destroy you. Enter your chambers!” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p14}

“My punishments with mercy are everywhere and even so the wicked do not repent. They run for their lives from here to there, but they will not prevail”

“But you my people keep calm, because I will be your sustainer in the middle of this, trust me” -He said-, “and advance by faith and not by sight and you will be rewarded by your faith. Do not burden, He continued saying, or abandon, or despair, because you are sculpted in the palm of my hands and although the storm rages my wings will await you. Have I failed you? and He Himself answered: in no way!.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p15}

Then, He continued saying, “as I live, says the Eternal, that my eyes are on those who seek me and obey me, and my peace will be with them. Here I have revealed what has to happen quickly because the deadline is about to be met, take this message -He told me- and do not stop, because the wise will understand and all those who are written in the book of life will know what I am saying.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p16}

“My chosen ones, I will gather I and they will no longer be scattered, because they followed me even in the tribulation and kept my commandments, for which I increased their faith, blessed is the one who trusts in Me and keeps all these things because your redemption is near! -He said. -. To the law and to the testimony, if they do not say according to this it is because it has not dawned on them! Go ahead, tell them, He said, to hurry to find their place and not to forget my instructions; He repeated to me, a small house, land where they can sow, water, their own water; river, spring, well, that has water.” {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p17}

“Seek Me and you will live,” He said, “reject Me and you will die,” it is time to cry out for the total anointing of the Holy Spirit, because if you do not receive it you will not be able to withstand the great storm that is coming. So, having said this, what else will you be busy with? He said. Seek my approval, with fear and trembling, so that in this hour you can live. Put aside the anxieties of the world and seek your salvation, for there is not in me change, and the final work is already advanced, tremble and do not sin, meditate on your beds and be silent and trust in Jehovah. I stand at the door and knock, everyone whose soul is upright will hear my voice, my voice, and will understand. So be vigilant, -He told me- and hurry because all this will pass, but my word will not pass. Run and say these words so that my wish in them is fulfilled.” Then He ended with these words: “be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life.” May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 10-10-2017 , en.p18}

Beloveds, June 24, 2018. I was meditating on many things. Many things that the Lord has told me, that He has shown me, many questions from many people, many things that are happening worldwide. In the end, I was ecstatic in all these things and begging the Lord, really, asking the Lord with all my heart, for His people. [To] take care [of] His people on the broad face of the earth, [those] who are going to the mountains, who are wanting to do the will of God and that the enemy is, in one way or another, fierce with them so that they cannot achieve the goal that God wants for each of us. {Daisy Escalante: 06-24-2018 , en.p1}

Then, at that moment, while I was in all this, the Word of God came to me saying in this way: “Behold speak to the greatest leader of my flock: you have plundered it and you have filled your delicacies with its fat, and you have left it in bones and remains. There is none that you guide who does not enjoy your fat and your delights. Now then, what will you say, that it is the imminent last day? And, where will mercy come from if you have usurped my place, in my flock, and of your delights you did not deprive yourself, although you saw the affliction of the flock? Behold here, I take control of my true flock and none of them will I lose, nor will any be derailed. The yeast of your heart mined your mind and there was no discernment between the Holy and the common. Strange fire entered your hands, fire that I do not know; and with it you are staining my flock.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-24-2018 , en.p2}

“Woe (to) those who follow you, [with) envies, slanders, ungrateful, without natural affection, because they are bitten by the ancient serpent. Know therefore that I am the Lord, I do not change, and to each one I will give the just price. Depart from filth! And draw near to Me with an honest and humbled heart. Raise clean hands to Me; seek me while I can be found. Don’t you see how the world groans and convulses at my last arrival? Will others say to you: It is not yet the appointed time and the hour of His coming, it is not yet, and will you deceive your heart? And will you betray your heart by believing such a falsehood? There is no generation that has seen these things that, within them, does not know that the time is, already, almost fulfilled. What will you eat and what will you drink? Will you dress up in war and sleep to the sound of the horn? As I live, the Eternal, that not long will pass without the world seeing the prince of sin impersonate God and many, even those who know me, will adore him because they loved his delights more than Me.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-24-2018 , en.p3}

“Soon my people will be ready and together they will proclaim the final message. And, when you see this, you who sleep, will you have time to wake up? Put on mourning clothes because the great and hurried day is the day of the Jehovah and it is soon at the doors. The earth trembles and groans, the sea roars and the heavens denounce it. Could it be that everyone recognizes my proximity except the thinking beings? Woe to him who seeks an excuse to follow his own paths and makes fun of him who humbly seeks me! Because, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Be extremely ashamed of your condition and repent because, if not, I will come against you and you will be stubble in the middle of the dry land.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-24-2018 , en.p4}

“Foolish young men, who are after the vanity of the world! Do you not know that the Holy One of Israel weighs your hearts? Where will you escape in the day of trouble? And what idol of yours will be [your] defender?” {Daisy Escalante: 06-24-2018 , en.p5}

“Foolish women, who live life without desiring the Beloved of the Beloveds!”

“Men, you live longing for the fire of perdition and you think that it will not reach you! Will following the youth council, and its desires, be your escape? Will stretching adulterous breasts help you? Wretched you are with your misery, for you have chosen the path of perdition! And who will follow you? The one lacking in understanding, and detached from the truth.” He replied. {Daisy Escalante: 06-24-2018 , en.p6}

“You sold the truth for price; And what good will it do you? What good will it do you to lose the truth for a price? Was it useful to Judas? Was it useful to Ananias and Sapphira? Behold I put before you the scale and measure your way. What then, will I see?” {Daisy Escalante: 06-24-2018 , en.p7}

“The foolish man pays vows for his salvation, but the just rests in God, his God, trusting Him. ‘Because a thousand will fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come nigh thee,’ ‘but not so with the wicked who are swept away by the wind, therefore, the wicked will not rise on the day of judgment.’ You say in your heart: ‘I will not see bad but good’. But, behold, I come to you with derision because you have put aside the Holy One of Israel.” {Daisy Escalante: 06-24-2018 , en.p8}

He finished saying these words, beloved, and said to me: “Hosea 4: 6-10.” May God grant, may God grant, and it is my plea and prayer, that each of us hear the voice of God before it is too late for all of us. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 06-24-2018 , en.p9}

Hosea 4:6-10

6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.

Beloved, March 14, 2019. In dreams I saw that I was in the vicinity of a very wide street, I saw how many Adventist brothers walked through it and it reached a mountain, and they began to go up in their cars. The more they climbed, the steeper the street was and this was of dirt, the instructions were: “go at full steam, without releasing the accelerator and so you can reach the top.” I observed how many went up, and some almost starting, and others at half way, ignored the instructions and fell uncontrollably over the precipice. One by one I saw them go up, and time after time the same instructions were repeated without any result. Then I saw a sister, she got into her little vehicle and told me: “please go up with me.” I was allowed to go with her and we began the march. I felt in my being the challenge of the great climb and I began to see her fear, I encouraged her to continue and not take her foot off the accelerator, she was crying saying: “I can’t anymore, I must stop, put on the brakes.” I told her: “don’t do it, otherwise you will perish.” I put my hand on her leg from the accelerator and pressed, and the car accelerated more, and with march but with great difficulty but at a steady pace we reached the top. There we were ordered to get off the vehicle, which when we got off I did not see it anymore. {Daisy Escalante: 03-14-2019 , en.p1}

The path was very rugged and of great sloping downward, it was dangerous, but we were given some instructions: “just look where we put our feet.” We did so for a moment and began the descent, but reaching large stones, the sister wanted to rest, I exhorted her to advance, but she wanted to stay there resting; When stopping, her feet slipped and I reached to grab her hand, my strength began to strengthen and I was able to hold her by the waist in the air and continue with her until I reached a lower place, and there some men helped me with her, who helped to reach to the flat and safe ground to anyone who came after the long and difficult path to them. I was ordered to continue the path when I left the sister and her to stay with them, but when she saw me withdraw, she ran and surpassed me and her life was once again in danger; I saw how behind a mountain, great flames of fire came out of the earth, and this, the earth, trembled like a drunk; I ran to the sister and urged her to return to her safe place, the battle was much, because her resistance was great until she gave in and resumed her retreat. {Daisy Escalante: 03-14-2019 , en.p2}

Then I was taken to a plain, there many people I saw doing their chores of daily work, many overwhelmed by this, when they finished they passed in front of a large glass where there was a man behind them, and they handed over their sheet of hours of work and he handed them a green paper. They stayed looking at this paper, and sad and distressed they would withdraw. I was then exhorted to tell them, “let go of everything and you will receive a hundred times more.” But these overwhelmed could not understand how to do it. I heard these words and the instructions to repeat them in a very loud voice: “do not enjoy in what you have, negotiate with what you have been given, negotiate with what you have.” So I started walking among them and repeating these words: “negotiate with what you have,” “negotiate with what you have.” A few started the action and started the movement. In their houses abounded the estates, and began to sell them, and more sheets of green paper reached their hands; They sold everything they owned, houses, cars, belongings, and in doing so they were carried by angels exalted in glory to a great leafy field of beautiful trees and crystal clear waters. There, paying with what they had, they came to own the land where they quickly began to work and harvested with hard work at hundred for one. They began to receive heavenly blessings, and all apparent lacking was resolved and thus Celestial happiness and wisdom was their daily guide. {Daisy Escalante: 03-14-2019 , en.p3}

Then I saw those who have stayed, their sad and gray faces were a reflection of their bitterness. These had everything that the others released and were not happy. I saw how among them the low passions enveloped them and they passed to be more uncontrolled than the animals. Immediately I felt a tremor and I was encouraged to leave, and we left that place where the ground was shaking, I saw flames of fire coming out from behind a mountain, and fire in the form of rays reached the people who screamed in terror. I urged them to leave quickly, but it was too late, everything was soon engulfed in flames. {Daisy Escalante: 03-14-2019 , en.p4}

I was then taken to a large door, it opened and I saw a large desk, there one sat on it; I saw how family entered two by two through that door, and I heard them say: “two minus one is one, one taken and the other left, there will be crying and gnashing of teeth.” I saw the agony of the one who was rejected and the sadness of the one who was accepted when seeing his relative rejected, with great love and tenderness the one who was sitting at the large desk explained to the accepted one the cause of why his companion was rejected, while He explained I saw how tears fell from His eyes on the large desk, the door closed and I didn’t see anymore, I just heard repeatedly: “two minus one is one, one will be taken and the other will be left.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-14-2019 , en.p5}

There, beloved, I woke up, may God grant that each one of us can be accepted in Christ Jesus. Let’s fight, let’s fight this race in such a way that we can get there. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 03-14-2019 , en.p6}

Beloveds, February 5, 2020. The Lord spoke to me about complete mandatory, complete non-mandatory, incomplete mandatory, and incomplete non-mandatory. I had heard this in another way, sometime in the course of my life, and indirectly [since] we are working with this daily, but not in the way the Lord explained it to me during the days after February 5, 2020. {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p1}

Now on February 12, the Lord told me: “this you have to share with other people, you already understood, not only with words but with actions, so you must share it because others must also know.” So fulfilling this task I share with you. {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p2}

In the complete mandatory, He told me: “these are the daily tasks that without them our day cannot function.” He gave me some examples in these days:

-seek the Lord in the morning, at noon and in the evening, as He really deserves it;

-have clean bedding; my own clothes that I’m going to wear;

-rest;

-open the way to get to some place;

-washing dishes;

These are things that during the days after February 5, 2020, He was teaching me but with an accentuation very different from what I was really used in doing. If I got up in the morning, my morning service, my evening service, meditating on the Lord during the day, but not the way He was teaching me after February 5, 2020. {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p3}

So I learned this very well from the complete mandatory, repeating “these are the daily tasks that without them our day cannot function.”

In the complete non-mandatory ones, the Lord told me: “they are those burdens that we impose on ourselves, because according to our criteria they are important, and they have to be done, although they could wait.” And He gave me a very classic example, that maybe we don’t do it this way, but we can do it in other ways too: {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p4}

-wash windows while my neighbor needs food.

It is very important that we analyze this, because how many times do we fall into this type of situation! However, the Lord is teaching us, He is educating a people, and it is very important that we understand this. {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p5}

He also talked to me about the incomplete mandatory, these are vital things in our life that are always left halfway and this brings bitterness and discontent to our being. He gave me an example: {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p6}

-the biblical year that is started and it is not finished,

-it is sown and what is sown is not attended to.

So all these things we have to work on, what I am giving you are examples, each of you will have something that you know within your being, which is what has been left incomplete that must be mandatory. {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p7}

In the incomplete non-mandatory He told me: “start washing dishes when it is time for worship, because when it was time to wash them I started talking on the phone and sat down, instead of talking and washing them; and now feeling the weight of the incomplete, I run to do it, thus trampling a complete mandatory.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p8}

Beloved, so the Lord, on February 5, 2020, was instructing me day after day in how to visualize these four points daily; and thus at the end of the day feel the full accomplishment of that day, having a clear conscience in the face of duty, which generates a peace that only God can give us. {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p9}

So beloved, without fear of the present and with courage in the face of the future, we walk safely after the footsteps of the one who has never lost a battle, nor will lose it. God grant that each one of us can do this, and that we can continue to be instructed by the one who has all the wisdom, so that we can be able to be what He desire from each one of us. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 02-05-2020 , en.p10}

February 20, 2021. In dreams, I saw a very large factory, with a lot of activity, inside the sea. This one was working at full steam, and many in it. Everyone was amazed that such a large factory was working perfectly and praised it. {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2021 , en.p1}

Soon, an explosion arose in it, and another, and another, to the point that it exploded like a volcano; and all that great factory of gigantic tubes, in some places, disappeared before the explosion, and all those who worked there, died. That scene was very frightening and sad! After this, people could be heard saying: “how horrible, how sad! How could this happen if that plant was so safe?” The smoke rose to the clouds and many ran for their lives because they feared the effects of said cloud. {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2021 , en.p2}

The scene changed and I saw a man talking to a group of people and no one was paying attention to this. And I saw him withdraw and climb a hill and, from there, look with great sadness at those he had spoken to and they paid no attention to him. Then I didn’t see him anymore. {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2021 , en.p3}

And the next scene passed before me where many were walking behind a funeral coffin, and the lid of said coffin was transparent. As it passed in front of me I looked and saw the man who was preaching and [to whom] no one paid any attention. So, I saw many who, seeing this, cried and said: “how sad, he died! If I had known that after his preaching he would not live, I would have embraced him and paid attention. Now it’s too late.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2021 , en.p4}

The scene changed. And I saw how, on a rural street, a heavy equipment machine was traveling. This removed rubble as it passed and deposited it in that designated place. I saw that they were also demolishing things that were already very old, and their mission was not to leave any. {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2021 , en.p5}

The scene changed. And soon I was transferred into one of those houses; and I saw a woman and several people listening to what she was saying. She exclaimed: “this has cost me a lot and I will not deliver it with my work inside, help me take everything out and break it, and dirty everything clean, and damage everything painted.” So I saw that everyone executed this order when I saw that those from the heavy machinery arrived and shouted to those who were inside to come out. But these were delaying, they were there fulfilling the woman’s order. I heard them all say, “get out, get out!” Those of the machinery also warned for the second time; but these did not come out. And so for the third time. And when no one responded to the call, the heavy equipment began its work and began to tear everything down, and then the structure collapsed and I did not see them anymore. {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2021 , en.p6}

So I saw myself walking along a path of leafy trees, and near each tree there were people resting under its shade. These looked tired, as if they had just come from a long journey. There one of them said to the other: “We finally arrived at a quiet place! We couldn’t bring much, but we have peace. Thank God we were able to flee from the destruction of the big city!” Yet another responded: “And now, what are we going to do? Don’t we only have a bundle with things and the food is until tomorrow” And another replied: “Let’s go see what the trees have, if there is fruit on them.” So they went and found fruit in an orchard of trees. And, there, a man among them, who from what I saw was the guard. {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2021 , en.p7}

Thus, the people who arrived hungry said: “Please, can we have some fruit to eat?” The guard told them: “only one of each tree and, then, plant your own.” Some thanked, others murmured; They exclaimed: “And why should we go plant when there are so many leafy fruit trees here?” The guard replied: “Each one has its owner who tilled the land, planted it, put the seed there, took care of it, fertilized it, watered it, weeded it, and so was their care. Until they grew and bore fruit, and now they rest tranquil. This is how everyone who wants to have tranquility in the future should be.” They looked at each other, and I saw that three quarters of them returned to the terrible from which they had come from, and a quarter passed to the place where they should sow. They were promised twice a day fruit from a tree, while theirs bore fruit, and so happy and diligent I saw them taking care of their planting place in expectation of such desired fruit. {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2021 , en.p8}

There I woke up. Oh beloved!, wonders of wonders are reserved for all those who dutifully obey the directions of the Teacher! God grants that we all not be only hearers but doers of the Word of the Eternal. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 02-20-2021 , en.p9}
