Sabbath Delight

1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28 Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Chapter 7 “The Scriptures a Safeguard”

“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. The people of God are directed to the Scriptures as their safeguard against the influence of false teachers and the delusive power of spirits of darkness. Satan employs every possible device to prevent men from obtaining a knowledge of the Bible; for its plain utterances reveal his deceptions. At every revival of God’s work, the prince of evil is aroused to more intense activity; he is now putting forth his utmost efforts for a final struggle against Christ and His followers. The last great delusion is soon to open before us. Antichrist is to perform his marvelous works in our sight. So closely will the counterfeit resemble the true, that it will be impossible to distinguish between them except by the Holy Scriptures. By their testimony every statement and every miracle must be tested. {IC 22.1; CI 76.1}

Those who endeavour to obey all the commandments of God will be opposed and derided. They can stand only in God. In order to endure the trial before them, they must understand the will of God as revealed in His word; they can honor Him only as they have a right conception of His character, government, and purposes, and act in accordance with them. None but those who have fortified the mind with the truths of the Bible will stand through the last great conflict. To every soul will come the searching test, Shall I obey God rather than men? The decisive hour is even now at hand. Are our feet planted on the rock of God’s immutable word? Are we prepared to stand firm in defense of the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus? {IC 22.2: CI 76.2}

Before His crucifixion, the Saviour explained to His disciples that He was to be put to death, and to rise again from the tomb; and angels were present to impress His words on minds and hearts. But the disciples were looking for temporal deliverance from the Roman yoke, and they could not tolerate the thought that He in whom all their hopes were centered should suffer an ignominious death. The words which they needed to remember were banished from their minds; and when the time of trial came, it found them unprepared. The death of Jesus as fully destroyed their hopes as if He had not forewarned them. So in the prophecies the future is opened before us as plainly as it was opened to the disciples by the words of Christ. The events connected with the close of probation and the work of preparation for the time of trouble, are clearly presented. But multitudes have no more understanding of these important truths than if they had never been revealed. Satan watches to catch away every impression that would make them wise unto salvation, and the time of trouble will find them unready. {IC 22.3, CI 77.1}

When God sends to men warnings so important that they are represented as proclaimed by holy angels flying in the midst of heaven, He requires every person endowed with reasoning powers to heed the message. The fearful judgments denounced against the worship of the beast and his image (Revelation 14:9-11), should lead all to a diligent study of the prophecies to learn what the mark of the beast is, and how they are to avoid receiving it. But the masses of the people turn away their ears from hearing the truth, and are turned unto fables. The apostle Paul declared, looking down to the last days, “The time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine.” 2 Timothy 4:3. That time has fully come. The multitudes do not want Bible truth, because it interferes with the desires of the sinful, world loving heart; and Satan supplies the deceptions which they love. {IC 23.1; CI 77.2}

But God will have a people upon the earth to maintain the Bible, and the Bible only, as the standard of all doctrines, and the basis of all reforms. The opinions of learned men, the deductions of science, the creeds or decisions of ecclesiastical councils, as numerous and discordant as are the churches which they represent, the voice of the majority, — not one nor all of these should be regarded as evidence for or against any point of religious faith. Before accepting any doctrine or precept, we should demand a plain “Thus saith the Lord” in its support. {IC 23.2, CI 78.1}

Satan is constantly endeavoring to attract attention to man in the place of God. He leads the people to look to bishops, to pastors, to professors of theology, as their guides, instead of searching the Scriptures to learn their duty for themselves. Then, by controlling the minds of these leaders, he can influence the multitudes according to his will. {IC 23.3, CI 78.2}

When Christ came to speak the words of life, the common people heard Him gladly; and many, even of the priests and rulers, believed on Him. But the chief of the priesthood and the leading men of the nation were determined to condemn and repudiate His teachings. Though they were baffled in all their efforts to find accusations against Him, though they could not but feel the influence of the divine power and wisdom attending His words, yet they incased themselves in prejudice; they rejected the clearest evidence of His Messiahship, lest they should be forced to become His disciples. These opponents of Jesus were men whom the people had been taught from infancy to reverence, to whose authority they had been accustomed implicitly to bow. “How is it,” they asked, “that our rulers and learned scribes do not believe on Jesus? Would not these pious men receive Him if He were the Christ?” It was the influence of such teachers that led the Jewish nation to reject their Redeemer. {IC 23.4, CI 78.3}

The spirit which actuated those priests and rulers is still manifested by many who make a high profession of piety. They refuse to examine the testimony of the Scriptures concerning the special truths for this time. They point to their own numbers, wealth, and popularity, and look with contempt upon the advocates of truth as few, poor, and unpopular, having a faith that separates them from the world. {IC 23.5, CI 79.1}

Christ foresaw that the undue assumption of authority indulged by the scribes and Pharisees would not cease with the dispersion of the Jews. He had a prophetic view of the work of exalting human authority to rule the conscience, which has been so terrible a curse to the church in all ages. And His fearful denunciations of the scribes and Pharisees, and His warnings to the people not to follow these blind leaders, were placed on record as an admonition to future generations. {IC 23.6, CI 79.2}

The Roman Church reserves to the clergy the right to interpret the Scriptures. On the ground that ecclesiastics alone are competent to explain God’s word, it is withheld from the common people. Though the Reformation gave the Scriptures to all, yet the selfsame principle which was maintained by Rome prevents multitudes in Protestant churches from searching the Bible for themselves. They are taught to accept its teachings as interpreted by the church; and there are thousands who dare receive nothing, however plainly revealed in Scripture, that is contrary to their creed, or the established teaching of their church. {IC 23.7, CI 79.3}

Notwithstanding the Bible is full of warnings against false teachers, many are ready thus to commit the keeping of their souls to the clergy. There are today thousands of professors of religion who can give no other reason for points of faith which they hold than that they were so instructed by their religious leaders. They pass by the Saviour’s teachings almost unnoticed, and place implicit confidence in the words of the ministers. But are ministers infallible? How can we trust our souls to their guidance unless we know from God’s word that they are light bearers? A lack of moral courage to step aside from the beaten track of the world, leads many to follow in the steps of learned men; and by their reluctance to investigate for themselves, they are becoming hopelessly fastened in the chains of error. They see that the truth for this time is plainly brought to view in the Bible, and they feel the power of the Holy Spirit attending its proclamation; yet they allow the opposition of the clergy to turn them from the light. Though reason and conscience are convinced, these deluded souls dare not think differently from the minister; and their individual judgment, their eternal interests, are sacrificed to the unbelief, the pride and prejudice, of another. {IC 23.8, CI 79.4}

Many are the ways by which Satan works through human influence to bind his captives. He secures multitudes to himself by attaching them by silken cords of affection to those who are enemies of the cross of Christ. Whatever this attachment may be, parental, filial, conjugal, or social, the effect is the same; the opposers of truth exert their power to control the conscience, and the souls held under their sway have not sufficient courage or independence to obey their own convictions of duty. {IC 24.1; CI 80.1}

The truth and the glory of God are inseparable; it is impossible for us, with the Bible within our reach, to honor God by erroneous opinions. Many claim that it matters not what one believes, if his life is only right. But the life is molded by the faith. If light and truth is within our reach, and we neglect to improve the privilege of hearing and seeing it, we virtually reject it; we are choosing darkness rather than light. {IC 24.2; CI 80.2}

“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 16:25. Ignorance is no excuse for error or sin, when there is every opportunity to know the will of God. A man is traveling, and he comes to a place where there are several roads, and a guideboard indicating where each one leads. If he disregards the guideboard, and takes whichever road seems to him to be right, he may be ever so sincere, but will in all probability find himself on the wrong road. {IC 24.3; CI 80.3}

God has given us His word that we may become acquainted with its teachings, and know for ourselves what He requires of us. When the lawyer came to Jesus with the inquiry, “What shall I do to inherit eternal life?” the Saviour referred him to the Scriptures, saying, “What is written in the law? How readest thou?” Ignorance will not excuse young or old, nor release them from the punishment due for the transgression of God’s law; because there is in their hands a faithful presentation of that law and if its principles and its claims. It is not enough to have good intentions; it is not enough to do what a man thinks is right, or what the minister tells him is right. His soul’s salvation is at stake, and he should search the Scriptures for himself. However strong may be his convictions, however confident he may be that the minister knows what is truth, this is not his foundation. He has a chart pointing out every waymark on the heavenward journey, and he ought not to guess at anything. {IC 24.4; CI 81.1}

It is the first and highest duty of every rational being to learn from the Scriptures what is truth, and then to walk in the light, and encourage others to follow his example. We should day by day study the Bible diligently, weighing every thought, and comparing scripture with scripture. With divine help, we are to form our opinions for ourselves, as we are to answer for ourselves before God. {IC 24.5; CI 81.2}

The truths most plainly revealed in the Bible have been involved in doubt and darkness by learned men, who, with a pretense of great wisdom, teach that the Scriptures have a mystical, a secret, spiritual meaning not apparent in the language employed. these men are false teachers. It was to such a class that Jesus declared, “Ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?” Mark 12:24. The language of the Bible should be explained according to its obvious meaning, unless a symbol or figure is employed. Christ has given the promise, “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine.” John 7:17. If men would but take the Bible as it reads, if there were no false teachers to mislead and confuse their minds, a work would be accomplished that would make angels glad, and that would bring into the fold of Christ thousands upon thousands who are now wandering in error. {IC 24.6; CI 81.3}

We should exert all the powers of the mind in the study of the Scriptures, and should task the understanding to comprehend, as far as mortals can, the deep things of God; yet we must not forget that the docility and submission of a child is the true spirit of the learner. Scriptural difficulties can never be mastered by the same methods that are employed in grappling with philosophical problems. We should not engage in the study of the Bible with that self-reliance with which so many enter the domains of science, but with a prayerful dependence upon God, and a sincere desire to learn His will. We must come with a humble and teachable spirit to obtain knowledge from the great I AM. Otherwise, evil angels will so blind our minds and harden our hearts that we shall not be impressed by the truth. {IC 24.7; CI 82.1}

Many a portion of Scripture which learned men pronounce a mystery, or pass over as unimportant, is full of comfort and instruction to him who has been taught in the school of Christ. One reason why many theologians have no clearer understanding of God’s word is, they close their eyes to truths which they do not wish to practice. An understanding of Bible truth depends not so much on the power of intellect brought to the search as on the singleness of purpose, the earnest longing after righteousness. {IC 24.8; CI 82.2}

The Bible should never be studied without prayer. The Holy Spirit alone can cause us to feel the importance of those things easy to be understood, or prevent us from wresting truths difficult of comprehension. It is the office of heavenly angels to prepare the heart so to comprehend God’s word that we shall be charmed with its beauty, admonished by its warnings, or animated and strengthened by its promises. We should make the psalmists petition our own, “Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law.” Psalms 119:18. Temptations often appear irresistible because, through neglect of prayer and the study of the Bible, the tempted one cannot readily remember God’s promises and meet Satan with the Scripture weapons. But angels are round about those who are willing to be taught in divine things; and in the time of great necessity, they will bring to their remembrance the very truths which are needed. Thus “when the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19. {IC 25.1; CI 83.1}

Jesus promised His disciples, “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26. But the teachings of Christ must previously have been stored in the mind, in order for the Spirit of God to bring them to our remembrance in the time of peril. “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Psalms 119:11. {IC 25.2; CI 83.2}

All who value their eternal interests should be on their guard against the inroads of skepticism. The very pillars of truth will be assailed. It is impossible to keep beyond the reach of the sarcasms and sophisms, the insidious and pestilent teachings, of modern infidelity. Satan adapts his temptations to all classes. He assails the illiterate with a jest or sneer, while he meets the educated with scientific objections and philosophical reasoning, alike calculated to excite distrust or contempt of the Scriptures. Even youth of little experience presume to insinuate doubts concerning the fundamental principles of Christianity. And this youthful infidelity, shallow as it is, has its influence. Many are thus led to jest at the faith of their fathers, and to do despite to the Spirit of grace. Hebrews 10:29. Many a life that promised to be an honor to God and a blessing to the world, has been blighted by the foul breath of infidelity. All who trust to the boastful decisions of human reason, and imagine that they can explain divine mysteries, and arrive at truth unaided by the wisdom of God, are entangled in the snare of Satan. {IC 25.3; CI 83.3}

We are living in the most solemn period of this world’s history. The destiny of earth’s teeming multitudes is about to be decided. Our own future well-being, and also the salvation of other souls, depend upon the course which we now pursue. We need to be guided by the Spirit of truth. Every follower of Christ should earnestly inquire, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?” We need to humble ourselves before the Lord, with fasting and prayer, and to meditate much upon His word, especially upon the scenes of the judgment. We should now seek a deep and living experience in the things of God. We have not a moment to lose. Events of vital importance are taking place around us; we are on Satan’s enchanted ground. Sleep not, sentinels of God; the foe is lurking near, ready at any moment, should you become lax and drowsy, to spring upon you and make you his prey. {IC 25.4; CI 84.1}

Many are deceived as to their true condition before God. They congratulate themselves upon the wrong acts which they do not commit, and forget to enumerate the good and noble deeds which God requires of them, but which they have neglected to perform. It is not enough that they are trees in the garden of God. They are to answer His expectation by bearing fruit. He holds them accountable for their failure to accomplish all the good which they could have done, through His grace strengthening them. In the books of heaven they are registered as cumberers of the ground. Yet the case of even this class is not utterly hopeless. With those who have slighted God’s mercy and abused His grace, the heart of long-suffering Love yet pleads. “Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, . . . redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” Ephesians 5:14-16. {IC 25.5; CI 84.2}

When the testing time shall come, those who have made God’s word their rule of life will be revealed. In summer there is no noticeable difference between evergreens and other trees; but when the blasts of winter come, the evergreens remain unchanged, while other trees are stripped of their foliage. So the false-hearted professor may not now be distinguished from the real Christian, but the time is just upon us when the difference will be apparent. Let opposition arise, let bigotry and intolerance again bear sway, let persecution be kindled, and the half-hearted and hypocritical will IC 25.6

waver and yield the faith; but the true Christian will stand firm as a rock, his faith stronger, his hope brighter, than in days of prosperity. . . . . {IC 25.7; CI 85.1}

Beloved, May 11, 2019. I was shown that everything was convulsing, the rivers changed their course and the laughter of the people was no more. Each mother cried for their children, and the children cried for their mother. Crying was everywhere, and even the children of God suffered, but on a lesser scale, this situation. I saw many, who were once faithful Adventists, suffer the bitter cup of disappointment, these believing other men equal to them, they challenged the everlasting covenant and the everlasting kingdom, failing to the truth and making of the lies their walk. {Daisy Escalante: 05-11-2019 , en.p1}

Said my companion: “many meticulous in details rose up against a ‘thus saith of Jehovah’ and avoided obedience, others living in life’s competitions, in their minds and hearts they live planning their better earthly welfare. To the legalist and the Pharisee will come their wages, because their much wisdom made them insensitive to the true call to God; walking in their own ways, many disdain the truth for their complacencies. Perhaps was it not let known to us that the kingdom of heaven is abnegation and surrender? The one who claims to be my people saw the necessity and hid and when in occasions paid for it, was made it known. Perhaps will your left hand know what your right hand did? Give waiting in return, to live for your comfort and pleasure. You speak of peace when I declared you a sword, you are rebellious in thoughts and actions and do you want to live like this with me forever? Do not be fooled, God cannot be mocked; the man today is and tomorrow will not, and with all, his heart is perverse and his eyes are haughty. Excuse your life with flattering words and so you say: ‘I am saved.’ Oh perverse and adulterous generation that live looking for the excuse not to obey! experts in theology and semantics but reprobate in the salvation! Who will listen to them and who will follow them? Whoever does so will surely die, because no mortal who follows another will be saved.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-11-2019 , en.p2}

“The anathemas are still in the people, and no one desire to clean it because the love for them is greater than the love for Me. Will repent of their whims and curse them and even want to destroy them when they know that because of them they have lost the favor of the Eternal!” {Daisy Escalante: 05-11-2019 , en.p3}

“All proud of spirit there will cry and all haughty eyes will decline their countenance, because they rejected the painful truth in exchange for the flattering lie; this, the truth would create changes of genuine repentance, but their perverse heart gave up to the call of the Holy Spirit who appealed with unspeakable groans. Blind leading blind, proud, wise in their own opinion, who profiting from the half truth have ignored the norm of the elevated truth! So will it be the crying and gnashing of teeth, there their voice will no longer be heard, because there was no place for the rebuke in them neither the truth came out of their mouth; and what will the people say? ‘we heard their words and believed them because they called on your name, and now what will become of us?’ But this is how I will tell them: ‘evil and perverse nation! perhaps my words were not there? My testimonies weren’t enough? The wise men of the people exposed my words as suggestions when they were mandates and they falsified the balance for their self love; perhaps each man does not exercise his free will? As I live that no excuse will be before the judgment, because each mortal is given the power to personally seek his salvation. He who seeks finds and to the one who knocks the door will be opened.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-11-2019 , en.p4}

Cursed is the man who entrusts his salvation to another man! Perhaps will there be flocks without a pastor?” He continued saying.

“But I tell you that my true flock has been delivered for a price. But, woe to one who delivered them! because like Judas he will be cut off, in an hour his exaltation and in a minute his ruin. Because the mortal forgets that the Eternal’s eye sees everything and nothing escapes His eye.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-11-2019 , en.p5}

“Now, my people, the one whose Pastor I am, get up and go to worship me in the mountains, get out of Egypt, Babylon and do not touch or consent to the confusions of Rome. These fill the eyes of everyone who, knowing the truth, rejects it for vanities and banishes a ‘it is written’ from their life; do not cry for them my people! wipe away your pain because the Lord prepares wonders for you in heaven, and peace, love and joy will be exceedingly great. Fight the good fight of faith! give fruits worthy of repentance! thus you will be a living witness to many so that they too may obtain the crown of victory. Do not fear those who kill the body because these ignore the giver of life.” {Daisy Escalante: 05-11-2019 , en.p6}

“The test of fire is coming. Blessed is he who trusts in Me!, his foot will never slip.” And He ended by telling me beloved: “Ezekiel 7.”

I pray to God that each of us can be more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 05-11-2019 , en.p7}

Ezekiel 7

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
3 Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
6 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.
10 Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
14 They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
15 The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
16 But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
20 As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
21 And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
23 Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
24 Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
25 Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
26 Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

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}

1 For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:
9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
10 Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

July 1, 2021. These words were dictated to me: “If we do not see sin as God sees it, this will never leave our lives and we will perish falling prey to it. It is necessary to ask for the divine anointing, the eye drops, so that our eyes may be opened to be able to see what humanly escapes our eyes; so that in the spirit and power of Elijah, sheltered in the sufficiency of Christ, we may overcome the enemy in his own territory. Eloquent tyranny, under a cloak of piety, is dishonoring the name of Christ Jesus in the life that practices this.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-01-2021 #02, en.p1}

These words were also dictated to me, on the evening of this same day: “You only worry if you stop trusting in Me. You will only be afraid if your self is alive. If you live in Me and walk behind Me, you will fear no evil because I will be with you. Whoever moves out of fear will perish. He who suffers in Me, will be able to endure and overcome. He who suffers without Me, will succumb to discouragement. I see what no mortal sees, and I weigh every motive. Let him who thinks he stands firm see that he does not fall!” {Daisy Escalante: 07-01-2021 #02, en.p2}

Oh, beloved brothers, profound words, to meditate on them in this hour! God grant that it be so, is my plea and prayer! May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 07-01-2021 #02, en.p3}

August 23, 2021. I was told: “Say this to My people: Laodicea opened the way so much that now that God puts it every time more narrower, the human being rebels. Ellen G. White said: ‘it is very, very difficult for the one who carries rebellion to go back,’ that is why Lucifer was not returned to his post when he supposedly repented. The rebel openly brings out his virus and infects everyone who has a spirit of nonconformity, a weak immune system, spiritually speaking.” {Daisy Escalante: 08-23-2021 , en.p1}

“When the whole host of Israel came out of Egypt, of those adults only Joshua and Caleb, of this category, stayed in the norm of the Eternal and entered the Promised Land. God told Ellen G. White through the inconvenient vision: that after the storm all the leaders would disappear and that He would place, to lead His people, chosen by Him. God prepared a people for these phases in front of us.” {Daisy Escalante: 08-23-2021 , en.p2}

Many boast that their self was crucified on the cross with Christ, but when the norm rises in front of them, if it is not convenient and pleasing to them, they resist it. Through pride, the human being enters enchanted terrain and struggles to remain in it, some openly and others underhandedly. Sad is the condition of the human! being who, because of the spawn of pride in his heart, which exalts his latent self, cares for it and worships it without realizing that it will lead him, with all his knowledge of the scriptures, to perdition. {Daisy Escalante: 08-23-2021 , en.p3}

“Did Cain understand what God was asking of him? the prerogative of the human being places him in positions or statuses that are humanly conferred without taking many times into account the divine will. Just as Eve, living on holy ground, disobeyed God’s order not to go through the garden alone, having already been warned of the rebellion in heaven, and ventured and this which according to her was defenseless in her understanding caused nefarious consequences to this day. Just as it was for them a simple test not to eat of the fruit of a tree when they had so many others at their disposal; so, that the man who officiates before God should be pure by God’s standards to baptize and anoint, is only a prohibition like that of the garden of Eden in the vast work that exists in the vineyard of the Eternal; but as of old the enemy knocks at the door and declaims: ”God is unjust, He knows good that your eyes will be opened and you will have great benefits and you will rub shoulders with men of renown.’ And so he intertwines the human heart and convinces him that he is in the right path with the right that it corresponds him. So he has done with the woman, conferred upon her positions that she should never have, and made her disdain what was her real job.” {Daisy Escalante: 08-23-2021 , en.p4}

“Korah was chosen by God, and yet his heart aspired to what did not correspond him by divine mandate. But according to him and his followers, Korah was right; his followers were not just any people, they were princes in the hosts of Israel, leaders in his sphere in the flock, men of renown, they were the ones who chorused there around Moses and those whom God had chosen, chorused with Korah around them. But we know the end of those who were emboldened against the rulings of the Eternal and His chosen ones, sad was that end! And although the people witnessed that day the divine displeasure, yet the next day after this occurred, those who still had seed of unbelief in their hearts complained to Moses that he had slain a holy people. Such is the blindness of the mortal who plays God and does not even know what will befall him in an hour!” {Daisy Escalante: 08-23-2021 , en.p5}

“We must wake up from the satanic spell and follow in the footsteps of the Teacher once and forever, and only then can we be protected from the snares of the enemy.” {Daisy Escalante: 08-23-2021 , en.p6}

May God grant that we may understand. May the Eternal bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 08-23-2021 , en.p7}
