Sabbath Delight

1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
2 And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
3 And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.
4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
6 And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.
7 Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
8 And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child’s mother.
9 And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
10 And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
14 And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father’s flock.
17 And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
18 And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
19 And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
22 And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

chapter 7 “How to Tell if God is Leading”

Portion of morning talk at Copenhagen, Denmark, July 21, 1886, titled “Search the Scriptures.” published in the The Review and Herald, April 3, 1888.

You will meet, as I have, with people who profess to be sanctified, holy. Now, there is a bewitching influence carried with this doctrine. They will state to you wonderful exercises of mind to show you that the Lord is leading them and teaching them. Then how can you tell but that the Lord is leading them? Well, there is a test: “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” (Isaiah 8:20). {FW 55.1; FO.55.1}

If it stirs up the enmity of the human heart when the Lord, the great Jehovah, is mentioned, you may know the person has no connection with God. People may claim that they have great faith in Jesus and that there is nothing you can do but that Christ will do for you. Now, when Christ shall call forth the dead, it depends wholly upon your course of action whether you have a resurrection to life eternal or a resurrection to damnation. Thus they get these truths all mixed with error, and they cannot tell what is truth; and if asked to sit down and search the Scriptures with you to see what saith the Lord, I never knew a case but the answer was that they had no need to search the Scriptures, for the Lord told them what to do. {FW 55.2; FO.55.2}

The voice of God is speaking to us through His Word, and there are many voices that we will hear; but Christ has said we should beware of them who will say, “Here is Christ, or there is Christ.” Then how shall we know that they have not the truth unless we bring everything to the Scriptures? Christ has warned us to beware of false prophets who will come to us in His name, saying that they are Christ. Now, if you should take the position that it is not important for you to understand the Scriptures for yourselves, you will be in danger of being led away with these doctrines. Christ has said that there will be a company who in the day of retributive judgment will say, “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? and in Thy name have cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works?” But Christ will say, “Depart from Me, ye that work iniquity” (Matthew 7:22, 23). {FW 55.3; FO.56.1}

Now, we want to understand what sin is—that it is the transgression of God’s law. This is the only definition given in the Scriptures. Therefore we see that those who claim to be led of God, and go right away from Him and His law, do not search the Scriptures. But the Lord will lead His people; for He says that His sheep will follow if they hear His voice, but a stranger will they not follow. Then it becomes us to thoroughly understand the Scriptures. And we will not have to inquire whether others have the truth, for it will be seen in their characters. {FW 56.1; FO.56.2}

Satan Will Work Miracles

The time is coming when Satan will work miracles right in your sight, claiming that he is Christ; and if your feet are not firmly established upon the truth of God, then you will be led away from your foundation. The only safety for you is to search for the truth as for hid treasures. Dig for the truth as you would for treasures in the earth, and present the Word of God, the Bible, before your heavenly Father, and say, “Enlighten me; teach me what is truth.” {FW 56.2; FO.56.3}

And when His Holy Spirit shall come into your hearts, to impress the truth into your souls, you will not let it go easily. You have gained such an experience in searching the Scriptures that every point is established. And it is important that you continually search the Scriptures. You should store the mind with the Word of God; for you may be separated and placed where you will not have the privilege of meeting with the children of God. Then you will want the treasures of God’s Word hidden in your hearts, and when opposition comes around you, you will need to bring everything to the Scriptures. {FW 56.3; FO.57.1}

May 17, 2020. In dreams I could appreciate a very great anguish in different parts of the world, and this anguish was accentuated here also in Puerto Rico. There was no longer economic or food stability and fear was in great magnitude. {Daisy Escalante: 05-17-2020 , en.p1}

I was transported to the living room of a sister I know, there I saw myself talking to her about this time, and the quick and decisive preparation that had to be done. I also saw myself exhorting her about the young people that struggles to be faithful to the Lord and the danger they run, and exhorting her to prepare. I was let to know that the opportunity had come in the living room of her home, and she had taken it lightly; since in her pace she felt safe. {Daisy Escalante: 05-17-2020 , en.p2}

The scene changed and I was at my house, the phone rang and I took the call, I heard the voice of the sister who with great fear and anguish said to me: “Daisy, what should I do? This is terrible!, what do I do now? I’m desperate, I don’t know what to do! tell me what to do, help me! She was desperate, the situation was such that she did not know what to do and could not find a solution; I saw that like her there were many who took the time of preparation lightly, and now desperation took over their lives. {Daisy Escalante: 05-17-2020 , en.p3}

At that moment there I woke up, begging the Lord that everything we know we should do, let’s do it and not delay, because if not time will catch us, and then it will be too late. I pray that in the Lord we can advance at accurate time. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 05-17-2020 , en.p4}

February 24, 2021. The Word of the Eternal came to me saying: “My people have perished for lack of knowledge, not because it did not exist, but because they did not want it. These shall be guilty before the judgment because they have rejected the goodness of Heaven.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p1}

“Time after time Jerusalem was spoken to, and for seven years that pilgrim went through the streets – being heard but not listened – and today it is no different. They hear and do not listen, choosing among all the supposed options, which they forge for themselves. How then do they say: ‘We serve God’, when they do not know me? And I know them and I see their works, which are: self convenience and haughtiness of spirit. The human pride that cries out for them alone, as they glimpse – a little – what is coming. They live ephemeral lives! Unable to [grow] a hair on their heads, they live like peacocks! And having, like dogs, big mouths, and cry, ‘I know God. And you?’ Boastful in their own opinion, they are deceived and deceiving many; and yet to this, yes, multitudes follow them!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p2}

“Did I not make the human being? Do I not know how his brain and reasoning works? Why do you pretend in my presence and make my Sabbaths, Feasts and New Moons abominable in my sight? Your disrespect is your daily life. You want to cover it up these days, and I cannot even look at it lest my fury be kindled!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p3}

“Fools! Fanatics of your own ideas that will lead you to perdition! You lower the standard instead of raising it in your lives, and you do not tremble in doing so! Your reasonings, unable to see the truth as it is, will exempt you from eternity, and you do not suffer for it! You play with the ephemeral and guard it like a pearl of great price, and do you not know that all that your eyes see will be undone! Know ye not that all things are ephemeral? Know ye not that only by bearing fruits worthy of repentance shall ye inherit eternal life? You live for yourselves, thinking only of your delight! And do you think that in this way you will be crowned with glory? By yourselves you cannot do good, but you set me aside!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p4}

“I look: how many hymns you sing, how many verses of my Word you memorize, and I see how little attention you pay to my prophets. Day after day there is time for your plans, and you live for them! And, there, I am not there. How many times do you pray on your knees when you are able to do so? Is your speech, among one another, in accordance with my words and my example? You hide yourselves from the human being to give the appearance of piety, and this will not save you; and shamelessly you walk before Me and My witnesses!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p5}

“Silent in the truth and big mouths in lies! You prepare much net to my Words, that others may fall and be guilty of death, as you will be.”

“Now, Oh people, arise and look neither to the right nor [to] the left! Take refuge in Me, and hide not thyself with indolence; turn away! and turn away thine ear, and let not thine eyes behold their ways. Do not covet their goods, for all will be for stubble to them, and none will be saved who follows in their footsteps! Turn to Me and be pure! And only there will you find rest for your soul. Do not go after them who, after knowing the truth – and this being proved before many – hesitate because they give ear to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons! Who will all cry out!” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p6}

“Live your own experience. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that no one who gives ear to this shall be excused in my kingdom. For, verily I say unto you, a day of weeping and wailing, without consolation, shall be the day [when] many shall think they are saved and the first plague shall invest them! There will be great mourning, terror and weeping, and there will be no escape for them! A day of payment, and not of opportunity; a day of total separation, and not of gathering together; a day of joy for the faithful, and of great bitterness for the unfaithful.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p7}

“Many do duty out of fear, and not out of conviction, and do you not know that the efficacy of this is null? It was One who suffered for you, and you do not want to suffer for Him. With all this, even My mercy is extended to the penitent soul who struggles before Me to do My will.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p8}

“Hear ye peoples and nations: the Eternal looks upon your inclinations, and the scales give accurate measure: do ye not think that there is a judgment where each one, his case, will be examined, and none will be there present? Do not your sins, which are in your members, make you tremble before My presence?” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p9}

“I have approached you with my Words, for some years now, before this last generation. And I see who exposes it and who receives it. The expounder is wronged, scourged, reviled and, many times, his strength leaves him. He bears great reproach and [is] rejected by many [who] follow in their own walk. Cursed by many and blessed by others, he seeks the good [of] all by means of the truth, even if he receives scourging for it. I see. And I have seen how my prophets of old, too, suffered for my sake. But woe to him who makes them suffer, for, as I live, he was chosen for this hour from his mother’s womb. And great tribulation he suffered from conception! Living great privations and many hardships, he resolved to follow me wherever I go, and so today he has come to raise my voice among you. But many of you regard him as vile and do not receive the words of his mouth. Your fatuous thoughts say: ‘God does not speak, does not hear, does not see.’ You merciless ones! Like the nations of old, you denigrate and oppress him who is my voice among the people; you deprive him of help, you surround him with hardship and deprive him of bread, supporting that which is of no use to him and taking care of that which is of no use to you!; it was to be expected!, for so they were with your forefathers. And they fail to see that my voice is heard, even in this last generation, for my Name’s sake.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p10}

“Give ear, and, now, listen: pray and fast, for great violence rises up in who claims to be my people. And there I will test you. And my voice shall be silent for a moment, and my eyes shall search the depths of your mind and heart. And there I will see closely, and you will be known as I know you. Then I will speak again [to] guide my real flock to safe pastures.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p11}

These were the words I received from the Eternal, and I faithfully pass them on to each of you. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 02-24-2021 , en.p12}
