Sabbath Delight

1 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
4 But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
14 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
15 So they look up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
17 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

chapter 22 “Nineveh, That Great City”

Among the cities of the ancient world in the days of divided Israel one of the greatest was Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian realm. Founded on the fertile bank of the Tigris, soon after the dispersion from the tower of Babel, it had flourished through the centuries until it had become “an exceeding great city of three days’ journey.” Jonah 3:3. {PK 265.1; PR.198.1}

In the time of its temporal prosperity Nineveh was a center of crime and wickedness. Inspiration has characterized it as “the bloody city, … full of lies and robbery.” In figurative language the prophet Nahum compared the Ninevites to a cruel, ravenous lion. “Upon whom,” he inquired, “hath not thy wickedness passed continually?” Nahum 3:1, 19. {PK 265.2; PR.198.2}

Yet Nineveh, wicked though it had become, was not wholly given over to evil. He who “beholdeth all the sons of men” (Psalm 33:13) and “seeth every precious thing” (Job 28:10) perceived in that city many who were reaching out after something better and higher, and who, if granted opportunity to learn of the living God, would put away their evil deeds and worship Him. And so in His wisdom God revealed Himself to them in an unmistakable manner, to lead them, if possible, to repentance. {PK 265.3; PR.198.3}

The instrument chosen for this work was the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai. To him came the word of the Lord, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before Me.” Jonah 1:1, 2. {PK 266.1; PR.198.4}

As the prophet thought of the difficulties and seeming impossibilities of this commission, he was tempted to question the wisdom of the call. From a human viewpoint it seemed as if nothing could be gained by proclaiming such a message in that proud city. He forgot for the moment that the God whom he served was all-wise and all-powerful. While he hesitated, still doubting, Satan overwhelmed him with discouragement. The prophet was seized with a great dread, and he “rose up to flee unto Tarshish.” Going to Joppa, and finding there a ship ready to sail, “he paid the fare thereof and went down into it, to go with them.” Verse 3. {PK 266.2; PR.199.1}

In the charge given him, Jonah had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility; yet He who had bidden him go was able to sustain His servant and grant him success. Had the prophet obeyed unquestioningly, he would have been spared many bitter experiences, and would have been blessed abundantly. Yet in the hour of Jonah’s despair the Lord did not desert him. Through a series of trials and strange providences, the prophet’s confidence in God and in His infinite power to save was to be revived. {PK 266.3; PR.199.2}

If, when the call first came to him, Jonah had stopped to consider calmly, he might have known how foolish would be any effort on his part to escape the responsibility placed upon him. But not for long was he permitted to go on undisturbed in his mad flight. “The Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.” Verses 4,5. {PK 267.1; PR.199.3}

As the mariners were beseeching their heathen gods for help, the master of the ship, distressed beyond measure, sought out Jonah and said, “What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.” Verse 6. {PK 267.2; PR.199.4}

But the prayers of the man who had turned aside from the path of duty brought no help. The mariners, impressed with the thought that the strange violence of the storm betokened the anger of their gods, proposed as a last resort the casting of lots, “that we may know,” they said, “for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; what is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou? {PK 267.3; PR.200.1}

“And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land. {PK 268.1; PR.200.2}

“Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them. {PK 268.2; PR.200.3}

“Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. {PK 268.3; PR.200.4}

“Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them. Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech Thee, O Lord, we beseech Thee, let us not perish for this man’s life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for Thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased Thee. So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows. {PK 268.4; PR.200.5}

“Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. {PK 268.5; PR.200.6}

“Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish’s belly, and said: {PK 268.6; PR.200.7}

“I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and He heard me;

Out of the belly of hell cried I, and Thou heardest my voice. {PK 268.7; PR.201.1}

“For Thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas;

And the floods compassed me about: and Thy billows and Thy waves passed over me. {PK 269.1; PR.201.1}

“Then I said, I am cast out of Thy sight; yet I will look again toward Thy holy temple.

The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: {PK 269.2; PR.201.1}

“The depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me forever: {PK 269.3; PR.201.1}

“Yet hast Thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.

When my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord:

And my prayer came in unto Thee, into Thine holy temple. {PK 269.4; PR.201.1}

“They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

But I will sacrifice unto Thee with the voice of thanksgiving;

I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.” Verse 7 to 2:9.

{PK 269.5; PR.201.1}

At last Jonah had learned that “salvation belongeth unto the Lord.” Psalm 3:8. With penitence and a recognition of the saving grace of God, came deliverance. Jonah was released from the perils of the mighty deep and was cast upon the dry land. {PK 269.6; PR.201.2}

Once more the servant of God was commissioned to warn Nineveh. “The word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.” This time he did not stop to question or doubt, but obeyed unhesitatingly. He “arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord.” Jonah 3:1-3. {PK 269.7; PR.201.3}

As Jonah entered the city, he began at once to “cry against” it the message, “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.” Verse 4. From street to street he went, sounding the note of warning. {PK 270.1; PR.201.4}

The message was not in vain. The cry that rang through the streets of the godless city was passed from lip to lip until all the inhabitants had heard the startling announcement. The Spirit of God pressed the message home to every heart and caused multitudes to tremble because of their sins and to repent in deep humiliation. {PK 270.2; PR.201.5}

“The people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he causeth it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water: but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from His fierce anger, that we perish not?” Verses 5-9. {PK 270.3; PR.202.1}

As king and nobles, with the common people, the high and the low, “repented at the preaching of Jonas” (Matthew 12:41) and united in crying to the God of heaven, His mercy was granted them. He “saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not.” Jonah 3:10. Their doom was averted, the God of Israel was exalted and honored throughout the heathen world, and His law was revered. Not until many years later was Nineveh to fall a prey to the surrounding nations through forgetfulness of God and through boastful pride. [For an account of the downfall of Assyria, see chapter 30.] {PK 270.4; PR.202.2}

When Jonah learned of God’s purpose to spare the city that, notwithstanding its wickedness, had been led to repent in sackcloth and ashes, he should have been the first to rejoice because of God’s amazing grace; but instead he allowed his mind to dwell upon the possibility of his being regarded as a false prophet. Jealous of his reputation, he lost sight of the infinitely greater value of the souls in that wretched city. The compassion shown by God toward the repentant Ninevites “displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.” “Was not this my saying,” he inquired of the Lord, “when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that Thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest Thee of the evil.” Jonah 4:1,2. {PK 271.1; PR.202.3}

Once more he yielded to his inclination to question and doubt, and once more he was overwhelmed with discouragement. Losing sight of the interests of others, and feeling as if he would rather die than live to see the city spared, in his dissatisfaction he exclaimed, “Now, O Lord, take, I beseech Thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.” {PK 271.2; PR.203.1}

“Doest thou well to be angry?” the Lord inquired. “So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.” Verses 3-6. {PK 272.1; PR.203.2}

Then the Lord gave Jonah an object lesson. He “prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.” {PK 272.2; PR.203.3}

Again God spoke to His prophet, “Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?” And he said, “I do well to be angry, even unto death.” {PK 272.3; PR.203.4}

“Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not labored, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: and should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?” Verses 7-11. {PK 272.4; PR.203.5}

Confused, humiliated, and unable to understand God’s purpose in sparing Nineveh, Jonah nevertheless had fulfilled the commission given him to warn that great city; and though the event predicted did not come to pass, yet the message of warning was nonetheless from God. And it accomplished the purpose God designed it should. The glory of His grace was revealed among the heathen. Those who had long been sitting “in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,” “cried unto the Lord in their trouble,” and “He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.” “He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Psalm 107:10, 13, 14, 20. {PK 272.5; PR.203.6}

Christ during His earthly ministry referred to the good wrought by the preaching of Jonah in Nineveh, and compared the inhabitants of that heathen center with the professed people of God in His day. “The men of Nineveh,” He declared, “shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.” Matthew 12:40, 41. Into the busy world, filled with the din of commerce and the altercation of trade, where men were trying to get all they could for self, Christ had come; and above the confusion His voice, like the trump of God, was heard: “What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36, 37. {PK 273.1; PR.204.1}

As the preaching of Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so Christ’s preaching was a sign to His generation. But what a contrast in the reception of the word! Yet in the face of indifference and scorn the Saviour labored on and on, until He had accomplished His mission. {PK 274.1; PR.204.2}

The lesson is for God’s messengers today, when the cities of the nations are as verily in need of a knowledge of the attributes and purposes of the true God as were the Ninevites of old. Christ’s ambassadors are to point men to the nobler world, which has largely been lost sight of. According to the teaching of the Holy Scriptures, the only city that will endure is the city whose builder and maker is God. With the eye of faith man may behold the threshold of heaven, flushed with God’s living glory. Through His ministering servants the Lord Jesus is calling upon men to strive with sanctified ambition to secure the immortal inheritance. He urges them to lay up treasure beside the throne of God. {PK 274.2; PR.204.3}

There is coming rapidly and surely an almost universal guilt upon the inhabitants of the cities, because of the steady increase of determined wickedness. The corruption that prevails is beyond the power of the human pen to describe. Every day brings fresh revelations of strife, bribery, and fraud; every day brings its heart-sickening record of violence and lawlessness, of indifference to human suffering, of brutal, fiendish destruction of human life. Every day testifies to the increase of insanity, murder, and suicide. {PK 275.1; PR.205.1}

From age to age Satan has sought to keep men in ignorance of the beneficent designs of Jehovah. He has endeavored to remove from their sight the great things of God’s law—the principles of justice, mercy, and love therein set forth. Men boast of the wonderful progress and enlightenment of the age in which we are now living; but God sees the earth filled with iniquity and violence. Men declare that the law of God has been abrogated, that the Bible is not authentic; and as a result, a tide of evil, such as has not been seen since the days of Noah and of apostate Israel, is sweeping over the world. Nobility of soul, gentleness, piety, are bartered away to gratify the lust for forbidden things. The black record of crime committed for the sake of gain is enough to chill the blood and fill the soul with horror. {PK 275.2; PR.205.2}

Our God is a God of mercy. With long-sufferance and tender compassion He deals with the transgressors of His law. And yet, in this our day, when men and women have so many opportunities for becoming familiar with the divine law as revealed in Holy Writ, the great Ruler of the universe cannot behold with any satisfaction the wicked cities, where reign violence and crime. The end of God’s forbearance with those who persist in disobedience is approaching rapidly. {PK 275.3; PR.205.3}

Ought men to be surprised over a sudden and unexpected change in the dealings of the Supreme Ruler with the inhabitants of a fallen world? Ought they to be surprised when punishment follows transgression and increasing crime? Ought they to be surprised that God should bring destruction and death upon those whose ill-gotten gains have been obtained through deception and fraud? Notwithstanding the fact that increasing light regarding God’s requirements has been shining on their pathway, many have refused to recognize Jehovah’s rulership, and have chosen to remain under the black banner of the originator of all rebellion against the government of heaven. {PK 276.1; PR.206.1}

The forbearance of God has been very great—so great that when we consider the continuous insult to His holy commandments, we marvel. The Omnipotent One has been exerting a restraining power over His own attributes. But He will certainly arise to punish the wicked, who so boldly defy the just claims of the Decalogue. {PK 276.2; PR.206.2}

God allows men a period of probation; but there is a point beyond which divine patience is exhausted, and the judgments of God are sure to follow. The Lord bears long with men, and with cities, mercifully giving warnings to save them from divine wrath; but a time will come when pleadings for mercy will no longer be heard, and the rebellious element that continues to reject the light of truth will be blotted out, in mercy to themselves and to those who would otherwise be influenced by their example. {PK 276.3; PR.206.3}

The time is at hand when there will be sorrow in the world that no human balm can heal. The Spirit of God is being withdrawn. Disasters by sea and by land follow one another in quick succession. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property! Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of disorganized, unregulated forces of nature, wholly beyond the control of man; but in them all, God’s purpose may be read. They are among the agencies by which He seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger. {PK 277.1; PR.207.1}

God’s messengers in the great cities are not to become discouraged over the wickedness, the injustice, the depravity, which they are called upon to face while endeavoring to proclaim the glad tidings of salvation. The Lord would cheer every such worker with the same message that He gave to the apostle Paul in wicked Corinth: “Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: for I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.” Acts 18:9,10. Let those engaged in soul-saving ministry remember that while there are many who will not heed the counsel of God in His word, the whole world will not turn from light and truth, from the invitations of a patient, forbearing Saviour. In every city, filled though it may be with violence and crime, there are many who with proper teaching may learn to become followers of Jesus. Thousands may thus be reached with saving truth and be led to receive Christ as a personal Saviour. {PK 277.2; PR.207.2}

God’s message for the inhabitants of earth today is, “Be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 24:44. The conditions prevailing in society, and especially in the great cities of the nations, proclaim in thunder tones that the hour of God’s judgment is come and that the end of all things earthly is at hand. We are standing on the threshold of the crisis of the ages. In quick succession the judgments of God will follow one another—fire, and flood, and earthquake, with war and bloodshed. We are not to be surprised at this time by events both great and decisive; for the angel of mercy cannot remain much longer to shelter the impenitent. {PK 278.1; PR.207.3}

“Behold, the Lord cometh out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.” Isaiah 26:21. The storm of God’s wrath is gathering; and those only will stand who respond to the invitations of mercy, as did the inhabitants of Nineveh under the preaching of Jonah, and become sanctified through obedience to the laws of the divine Ruler. The righteous alone shall be hid with Christ in God till the desolation be overpast. Let the language of the soul be: {PK 278.2; PR.208.1}

“Other refuge have I none,

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;

Leave, O, leave me not alone!

Still support and comfort me. {PK 278.3; PR.208.2}

“Hide me, O my Saviour, hide!

Till the storm of life is past;

Safe into the haven guide,

O receive my soul at last!” {PK 278.4; PR.208.3}

Beloved, thinking about everything that God has shown me in these days, in some things that I ask for His wisdom to be able to understand even more, on December 30, 2017, in dreams I saw myself being in an association, it was also an Adventist association where it was holding several activities simultaneously. The people passed by a window where they indicated their place, and at the same time, depending on where they get, a basket with hearts, chocolates, and stuffed animals was given to them. Other baskets were with pumpkins, zucchini, others with garlands, but all the baskets had something in common; They all had a stuffed bear and a stuffed bird that was also a stuffed bear, that is, a small stuffed animal. But there was a specific bird, that bird was in all the baskets, it was what all of them had in common, and that bird was a little owl. {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p1}

Then they grabbed their baskets, they went to the place, to the place that they were indicated, then I saw how they began to celebrate these saint Valentine’s festivities, the friendship day as it is Christianized, the Christianized Hallowen party with masks of animals, cakes , and sweets and also then, Christmas. So when I saw this, I said desperately: Lord, how can it be? How can your people be celebrating this? So I stayed observing and I saw in a given moment that these stuffed animals of bears and birds came to life and began to grow a little, and when they began to grow a little, they began to bite everyone who was there present, and they screamed as if it were killing them. {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p2}

Then when I saw this, I began to say desperately to them: “kneel, kneel!, humble yourselves before God so to obtain mercy!,” but they did not listen to me. I don’t know if it was because the pain was so great, or the desperation, but they didn’t listen to me. Then my desperation was so great to want to help them, because I knew this association and many of those who were there, that I almost collapsed when my companion appeared and said: “let’s go, it’s time, their luck is already cast.” Then I said: “no,” I begged not to leave and that there would be an opportunity for them, but my companion told me: “let’s go, they knew but, they did not obey.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p3}

So I was taken to a large auditorium and someone was there on the stage and said: “now we will receive His Excellency.” Then he said the name, but I did not hear the name well, but his surname I did, and he said: “Gregory.” Then my ears and eyes were opened before that person, and a character dressed in a white cassock came to the stage, with a large sign like a mural and said: “I am going to introduce you to the one who gave me such a great strategy.” So when he said that, on that stage there was like a curtain, and behind that curtain came a dressed character, this character was dressed in a black cassock and was taller than those two who were on the stage. Then he leaned into the ear of the one in the white cassock, and said something in his ear. Then he withdrew and went behind the stage curtain. At that moment the character in the white cassock exclaimed: “it’s time!, our day has come!.” Then I saw how on this giant calendar it marked Sunday, and ended by saying: “now we will rule.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p4}

So we left that place, and went down the stairs, under that auditorium and entered a super large room, it was a large room to my amazement, it was tremendous when I saw there, when I entered, I saw the enemy of souls. So then was directing in that convention of fallen angels, it is a terrible thing to see this being, and how he blasphemed the name of God and cursed him at his will. So that scene was so, so, so terrible that I asked not to be there, but it was answered that it was necessary. Then I heard when the enemy said: “we have changed the names of the months and days of the year to pagan names, which are music to our ears every time they are mentioned, we have disrupted the calendar so much that they celebrate our festivals and they have forgotten the festivals of God,” and said a blasphemy. “So now they do not even know the time in which they live, because these mark prophecies and their fulfillments, the New Moons,” and he laughed broadly, and continued saying: “the New Moons that even in the heaven it’s being practiced every month, nor do they remember when they are and why they are!. We have disrupted everything, and they run at our will,” he kept saying. {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p5}

Then he laughed a terrible laugh and then he stopped laughing and shouted: “ahh, but this Jehovah has not allowed us to change His weekly seven-day cycle!, and this count is still being followed!, but it is our time to force them to desist from this because, everything else is ready, we will force them to give up this by force, and I know that many who are now half convinced will give up.” Then at that moment he stopped and shouted again, and began to mention the name of God in a bad way, and said: “there are some who will not give up, but we will crush and kill them because it is our time!” {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p6}

Then I could not resist anymore, I could not hear that this being cursed the name of our God who has given His life for each one of us, and who is such a great and wonderful God that He even supports us, and sends us messages of love, and gives us His love letter which is His Holy Word, the spirit of prophecy, so that we can live with Him eternally. I asked to leave that place and it was granted, and I asked my companion: “what does the New Moons mean, I don’t understand?” And He told me: “because it will be that from new moon to new moon and from Saturday to Saturday all flesh will come to worship before me, said Jehovah.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p7}

Then I was taken to a river, that river was so crystalline, it was so beautiful, there, beloved, there was a beautiful tree, that tree was on one side and on the other of the river, it was there anchored by its roots on the two banks. So I saw there at that moment, how beings came from other worlds, and passed under the leaves of this wonderful tree, and took two or three leaves and ate them, and each one took a fruit, then they continued in a row to the Holy City, and I asked “what time is it?” and He said: “New Moon.” Then everyone was happy and He told me: “you will do no servile work this day,” so He quoted to me “Isaiah 66:23.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p8}

So before all this wonderful spectacle, we left and came to this dark planet, and I was taken to a property where some of us were there preparing for the time of not buying and selling, and a sister was with me in front of the gate of that property, and in that moment I saw how her children entered, I recognized only one of them, she was happy to see them because everyone who entered there for some reason we knew that they would stay inside. Then many more entered, but there were people who had not entered, and I kind of was expecting that they will also enter. Then I went out by the gate, and I kept looking, and I saw that a young man was crawling down the street, he was very battered with an appearance of having been rudely beaten. So I ran to help him and he was able to get in. As soon as he passed the gate, it was closed, not by my hand but by an invisible hand, and no one else could enter. {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p9}

Then at that moment, I saw outside the gate, beloved brothers, who delayed and postponed their preparation and followed behind other protocols of men. Then I began to cry when I saw them there, I wished they could enter, but they could not!, that door was not closed by my hand but a powerful hand had closed it. Then I began to cry bitterly, but nothing could be done, so we started our journey towards the mountain, helping each other because there were some helpless, others were very hurt, to spend the time appointed by God there. So while we were doing this, a question was put to me and I asked: why did those I saw on the tree of life eat leaves? Then I was told that the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations, and I was dictated Revelation 22: 2, at that moment I woke up. {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p10}

Dear brothers, we must not delay, we must make all the preparations, whatever the cost, to get right with God, because the Lord is very close, everything that He is indicating to us through the events that we are seeing, through His word, through all the messages that He is sending around the world by different people, is indicating that if we do not get ready, everything will catch us by surprise because this is very close, it is at the doors!, May God grant that each one of us realize this sense of urgency, and we prepare ourselves first spiritually, because it is the most important thing, and then that with firmness and good will we prepare ourselves in the final phase, for the final phase of this world, because the Lord is already at the gates, and only a little more and He who is to come will come. May the Lord bless you! {Daisy Escalante: 12-30-2017 , en.p11}

Isaiah 66:23

23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.

Revelation 20:2

2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Beloved, February 22, 2018. In dream I was taken to a place where there was a meeting of many leaders of children, adolescents and youth. There was a great debate in that place regarding the education of these children. Then some said some things, others other, others thought they were right. Then a sister began to speak, and another sister joined her, and they convinced [a] great crowd to give their children the best in education to educate them. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p1}

So they brought a huge (bus) and they rode all these children, adolescents, and youth, and took them away. So then at that time I told them not to leave, but my efforts were in vain to make them understand, because everyone who was there released their children, like when you release a bundle that you have carried uphill for hours. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p2}

So they believing, to some people, since they released [their] children. Then I was telling them: “but is it that you are going to believe in these people instead of [in] a ‘it is written?'” But they didn’t pay any attention. So I began to exhort them to remember Madison, to remember Jesus, John the Baptist, even what Moses had to go through before he was ready to be used, where all this protocol had to be ripped from him, and emptied to fill it now of the talents, the ministry, and the operation that God was giving him. Then they scoffed and left, until I was alone in that place. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p3}

Then my companion told me something very sad, He was sad, so what He told me was: “let’s go, because we are going to a place and we are going to see what had happened.” Then we came to this great house, this house had many rooms, and in each of them there was a different scene. Then in one, I went into a room and saw girls, they were little girls, they were babies, they were very well groomed, they were in beds with dolls and stuffed animals. So these dolls and stuffed animals were dedicated to evil, it was what I could see, what they were showing me. So from they were little, these things that lived inside these dolls and stuffed animals, indoctrinated them in evil because these dolls were possessed; I was seeing them like that, how evil angels lived inside those dolls and stuffed animals. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p4}

Then I went to another room and I saw [a] older child, in my opinion this child would be about 2 or 3 years old. There he was in front of a video game screen, his life of spiritual learning passing like water in a broken glass. So he then, was not soaked or full by this, but he was just in that room hypnotized with that video game. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p5}

In another room when I entered, there it was… it was a room then it was extremely dark, there was a little girl resting, it was a beautiful little girl with very pronounced eyes, when I entered and I tried to open the windows so that the light could enter, a force took me by the arms so that I would not open them, but my companion helped me and I was able to open them, and many dolls ran out and hid under the bed where this girl was. So I took the girl, took her out of there, and was indicated to put her in a large room, where in that room what was being read was the Bible constantly. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p6}

At that moment we left that room, and I entered another room. There I saw parents, parents were overwhelmed! because they saw their children who were desperate because of their homework, that they did not leave time of quality to educate their children in the real education that are the things of God. I saw them enslaved, they were oppressed by evil hosts that surrounded them and they did not know how to escape! {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p7}

So we left that place, without further passing, and we continued the path and I was taken to another room where there were young people. They were about three young people and they were absorbed in violence and science fiction movies. Then I saw them by their side, while they were sitting there watching these movies, there were angels but these angels were evil. So they (the angels) tried that they not hear anything else, just what they were showing them, what they had prepared for them (the young people). So at that moment I got closer to them, and tried to make them realize who was controlling them, but their faces when they looked at me seemed hypnotized, there was no way to make them enter in reason! Then my companion said something very sad to me, He said: “let’s go, their fate has already been cast.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p8}

So at that moment I kind of enter a little in despair, and I said: “Lord, what are we going to do?!” But He said: “Let’s go.” So we went to another room, this one was larger in space, there I saw young people as in young adults, these studied each one, books of their choice, and all were happy and anxious that when they finished that book, what they were going to expect was the monetary remuneration for having studied these books. So in a corner was the book of books, there I saw the bible where it was indicated to me that it was the real wisdom, the way of eternal life, and it was there forgotten and it was dusty. Not one of those in that room paid attention to this Book. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p9}

So we left there, we went to another room, and there I would see adults. All of them in their pursuits of secular work, they had no peace and were surrounded by evil hosts that encouraged them to continue for material remuneration, although they felt that they should not do it but the debts oppressed them, and some and others were afraid of letting go, out of fear and their comfortable state that they felt when they were in this situation. So I started talking to them, but they didn’t understand me either, I don’t know what was happening. So I said: “Lord, why?! my eyes can’t keep seeing this anymore, I want to help them!” But at that moment my eyes kind of opened a little more, and I saw the ears of these people and I saw like black hands that were covering their ears. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p10}

So I asked: “will this always be like this?” Then the voice answered me: “they chose.” Then I exclaimed with great great pain because this is very difficult for me. Then I said: “Lord, how close are we to the world to come?” Then He answered me: “now the preparations are ready, soon we will be home.” Then I exclaimed: “O Holy, sovereign God! And these people? What will become of them?” Then my companion told me: “come, I will show you.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p11}

So we went out of the huge house, I was contemplating it from a distance, I began to cry for it, for the situation that I had experienced, [that] I had seen in that place. So at that moment, when I was already looking at this, at that moment a wind came and raged against it, and a board from that house flew out and fell on my feet, so I bent down to pick it up, and I saw something that had written, I read that inscription that said in red letters: “Laodicea.” {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p12}

Then when I looked up, I saw the house again, but it was no longer in its place, there was a group of few people, I saw there babies, children, adolescents, young people, adults; A small group of people were being educated there in that same place where that house was no longer there, by a beautiful and beautiful character who shone with great splendor, that my eyes could not fix much on Him, because His splendor almost did not let me see Him. Then I could appreciate in a moment that His right hand was raised to the heaven and with the other He was holding a book that also shone, and He was instructing them, and everyone understood what this character was saying to them; then they began to walk after Him, but no longer at ground level, but their feet were raised in the air; I saw them as they [were] rising little by little. Then I exclaimed: “Lord, how will we get to this group? At this level?” Then I saw how they were educated, they were educated only from the word of God, and so I was instructed that to reach this level we only have to educate from the word of God. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p13}

At that moment the scene changed, I saw parents who were educating their children at home with the only word of God in their hands, and from it emanated every branch of source of wisdom for them and their children, and how the angels came and they attended them, and peace reigned in them. I also saw young people giving up their desires, expectations, what they desired and what they wanted; but no, they were there devouring the word of truth like when they are going to go through an exhaustive exam and they can’t afford to fail it, that’s how they were. Then I also saw adults, some were alone in corners, in places, others in families, and we are letting go of everything for the love of God, just seeking His forgiveness and approval. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p14}

At that time I also saw how families went room by room, corner after corner, taking out of their camp all anathema, everything that impeded the presence of God in their lives, and these people moaned for the abominations that surrounded them, and they asked to be freed from said contamination. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p15}

So at that moment I turned to my companion and asked: “what are we going to do now?” And I was told: “lighten your load because the hour is almost come and soak your being with the Holy Word, just and true of our great God, because heaven is almost near.” So at that moment when I heard these words “heaven is almost near”, I asked: “when will this glorious hope be? How much left?” “I want to leave” I added. Then He looked at me smiling and answered: “before you is the final test, be faithful until death and you will be given the crown of life.” Then at that moment I exclaimed, a sigh came out, and I exclaimed: “Lord, the final test, who can bear it?” Then He answered me: “no one that from now discards their expectations and desires will be able to triumph, only a resounding death to the I will help to endure and win.” Then He paused, but continued to tell me: “only one thing is important now, get out of Egypt, celebrate the Passover with me in the desert, seek me with all your heart and you will live.” Then at that moment I exclaimed: “Lord forgive me!” So I said to Him: “forgive me because I want to ask you another question,” and I said to Him: “what does ‘passover’ means to you?” And then He answered me: “stop living for this world, and resolve only to live for me and my kingdom, like Enoch who celebrated his Passover once and forever, and lives forever in my kingdom.” At that moment beloved there I woke up. I was not told more, I did not see more. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p16}

I hope and pray to the Lord with all my heart, that according to this has impacted my life, it may also impact the lives of many people who are really looking for the Lord and that we can all meet in the Heavenly Homeland. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 02-22-2018 #01, en.p17}

Beloved, December 9, 2018. While I was reading the word of God, the word of the Lord came to me saying: “there is a way that seems right to man but its end is the way of death, entrust your way to Jehovah, trust in Him, and He will do; many walk in indolence and presumption, their plans, their plans are totally far from the ways of God, but they think they are right, these stumble time after time on the way, but even more they insist on their indolence; they don’t take the time to stop and ask God if their path is right or wrong; and it was let known to me that whoever does so, will not be let known the heavenly purpose for his life.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-09-2018 , en.p1}

“Satan has to constantly promote and sell the apparent happiness, ‘all this I will give you if prostrate you worship me,’ but God is the Sovereign, owner and creator of everything that exists, and does not act in such a way as His adversary, since for Him competition does not exist, He says: I am the way, the truth, and the life, and even the one who is dead will live; I place the path of life before you, so walk through it so that you may live.” I saw that each thing, no matter how insignificant, must be submitted to God and seek to know His will, the housewife should ask God what she should cook for her family so that this has good health, and the head of the family should walk on his knees asking for heavenly direction to know how to rule his house well. The children causing hardship, I was let know, to their parents; thus God Himself will intervene with them in their obstinacy. {Daisy Escalante: 12-09-2018 , en.p2}

It was let me know that the Lord is very pending in these moment to the final outcome, and that His ministering angels are reinforcing their efforts in the last preparation of this world; We must not for a moment neglect our preparation, beloved, for it is not entirely in our hands; our part is to acknowledge or accept our guilt, to ask forgiveness in prayer and supplication, to humble ourselves in acceptance and willingness submitted only to God, and then He will work His will in us; “Micah 6:8,” it was again repeated to me, since several times I have been told. ” And Habakkuk 2:4 that they are vital to begin the process of sanctification,” I was let know. {Daisy Escalante: 12-09-2018 , en.p3}

May God grant that each one of us can obey the words of the Lord and heed so that we can have the preparation that we can only achieve through Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 12-09-2018 , en.p4}

Micah 6:8

8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Habakkuk 2:4

4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

September 13, 2019. At night, in dreams, I saw that I was in a place that was being used as a church. We were preparing the program and suddenly everything fell apart, the leader had his head divided and he could not transmit order. I saw that the young people were disoriented because the leader transmitted ambivalence. So I tried to let them know, but for some reason I could not achieve it. The young people gave themselves to dissipation and I struggled to bring them back to clarity, it was somewhat difficult, but with the help of God it could be achieved. I saw the leader cry bitterly, who had his mind divided, I saw him pray and cry with much prayer before God, and his place was restored to him, with a lot of work, but he was once again a leader of these young people. I saw how the young men were carried away by the current of water, but he pounced on them and saved them from the turbulent waters, and they did not perish. {Daisy Escalante: 09-13-2019 #01, en.p1}

At that moment there I woke up, asking the Lord that each family leader, each family head, or family leader, if she is a lady, because of the situation that she is alone, she does not have a husband; Let’s be faithful to God, let’s not try to ingratiate ourselves with our children, youth or adults for convenience, but let’s be loyal to God, and that loyalty to God will save our children. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 09-13-2019 #01, en.p2}

Beloved, March 8, 2020. In dreams I saw how the abundance of people was null and without value. I went to visit a family that felt very prosperous because of everything they had in their huge wagon. They opened it to show me, we got on it, and there I saw that that big wagon had holes in it and everything was wet and in the process of decomposition, everything was covered with spider webs, dirty, undeserved, but its owners were proud of so-called prosperity. {Daisy Escalante: 03-08-2020 #01, en.p1}

So I was taken to another place, to a great continent, we went to Brazil, to a very, very prosperous family. This person prayed to the Lord to help him get out of the city into the countryside, and the Lord allowed it to be so. Upon obtaining land, he began preparations in it; he had made a promise to the Lord that if he helped him, he would remember His work; but he forgot and dismiss his promise. I was taken several times to his side, and I listened to his conversations and even his thoughts; I saw his behavior and how he evolved with his family and other people who were there. They told me: “speak.” I spoke and said: “how can you think of a blessing for yourself and yours, if you forget God’s blessings and your promises to Him?” He looked at me and laughed and replied: “they are my promises, I make them and I withdraw them when I want!” He turned his back on me and left. {Daisy Escalante: 03-08-2020 #01, en.p2}

“It was sad to see how everything fell apart,” because he did not take seriously the promise he made to God, and began his lonely struggle and became bitter. I woke up in my bed, beloved brothers, and there I meditated on all the uncertainty of man for clinging to what he believes gives him power, not knowing that the blessing comes only from above, that is, from Christ Jesus; if we are obedient to His commandments, statutes and precepts; then, it really is that we are going to get the blessing. May God grant that we can see it this way, and that we can cling only to Him, and fulfill before Him what each one of us has promised; because He is faithful and He keeps His promises to us. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 03-08-2020 #01, en.p3}

Beloved, March 8, 2020. I fell asleep again, and was told: “come, there is a place where you must go.” I was taken to another place where a family, who had already gone out into the countryside, built a huge two-story building next to their home. I was told: “tell him to desist, because this will only bring him misfortune.” I went to this head of the family, and I explained the case to him, to which he replied: “I was always a businessman, and now here in the countryside I fulfilled of going out, but I need to negotiate in order to continue generating income.” They told me again: “tell him to desist.” I told him the words again: “you must desist, heaven looks at your work and knows that it will bring you a curse.” But he laughed and said: “come, I’ll take you home!” I said: “no, don’t worry, as I came, I will leave.” {Daisy Escalante: 03-08-2020 #02, en.p1}

I was taken out of that place and returned to my bed there again, beloved, there I woke up. It was tremendous to see how this person, no matter how much he was warned, did not pay attention; however, heaven, the Lord who is in heaven knows the end from the beginning. May God grant that each one of us can allow ourselves to be guided by God’s instructions, so that it goes well to us. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 03-08-2020 #02, en.p2}

July 2, 2021. I was meditating on so many things that the Lord has let me know in these days and, while I was meditating on this, I was told: “write what I will tell you.” And here I leave these words with you. {Daisy Escalante: 07-02-2021 #02, en.p1}

“There is nothing more terrible and horrendous in this life than feeling good and being sufficient before GOD. It is something so subtle, that it crosses the line of human wisdom, thus usurping the divine territory, many times, without realizing it.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-02-2021 #02, en.p2}

“The sinful malignancy of sin woven in our being, twist what is true, provoking incredulity and rejection [toward] it. Meanwhile, what is analogous to it, [malignity,] and gives it effervescence of existence, it is a smell of pleasant acceptance. Iniquity is this: it is this gratifying acceptance of all that feeds self-sufficiency in us. And this is the precursor of prevarication, which cares and watches—with great zeal and audacious joy—that which brings morbid hormones to our being. The flesh is only sacrificed by a spirit subjected to the HOLY OF ISRAEL. Not living for you anymore is the action of your flesh. And, the same spirit, subjected to Me, will subdue, dodge and evade every thought that, under the influence of the HOLY SPIRIT, immediately grasps that it comes from the adversary of souls. [When] [that thought] comes, it can immediately be counteracted.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-02-2021 #02, en.p3}

“Your mind must remain refreshed and this can only be achieved among trees, animals and meditation alone with Me in the refreshing waters. A mind influenced in other way will be feverish and out of all divine connection; and this will be the adversary’s prey for death. Since the creation of the human race, I put them in a garden, so that their intellect would be every time more elevated, —created in My image and likeness!— There, I instituted marriage, I gave them My Saturdays. Now, this is what is being subtly and openly attacked. Don’t you realize that, from a garden, you pass to a supermarket. And, now, there are catastrophes induced by a made crisis, environmental and food. I also put a couple, and now it is attacked by homosexuality. Subtly, this created a family destruction, a mutation, like what we see now. Also there, I gave My Saturdays. And now, due to ecumenism and religious control, they will be imposing Sunday, the first day of the week, calling it Saturday. When it really is a lie, it is not the Seventh Day that I commanded, that I instituted; It is not the Sabbath but Sunday, the day of the sun.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-02-2021 #02, en.p4}

“Can’t you see an environmental crisis for an environmental encyclical? A gender perspective through homosexuality? Sunday through ecumenism? Everything advocates to reconcile a world to go after the pagan day of worship. Didn’t you realize that this began in full swing in the United States, in the heart of the UN, when the usurper was, there, placed as world leader of the UN? It was there, in that state of Philadelphia, it was there, in that 2015, when it happened—in front of many—, and many did not realize it! And it’s the same thing that’s happening now,” I was continued being told, “everything is happening in front of you, and you’re not realizing it! Can’t you see?” He kept repeating. “Many ask themselves: ‘why are we in this? But, they didn’t realize that the beginning of this began years ago.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-02-2021 #02, en.p5}

He again repeated: “can’t you see? You cannot see because of the prevarications that are in your heart”—He continued saying, “because the love of the world spoke louder than what the HOLY SPIRIT appeals to your consciences. But, only the wise will understand. They will be disappointed by going to many, [because] they will be able to see things clearly and explain them, and those [many] will make fun of them, because they cannot see them. But do not give up, advance! Do all that is in your reach, and go and be ready. Just warn, and don’t stay. Advance because time is short! And many, many of those who do not believe today, when everything is seen before the veil, many will join in My ranks! Advance”—He said again—,”Advance! Do not stop because time is short. Be warned.” {Daisy Escalante: 07-02-2021 #02, en.p6}

These were the words I received from the ETERNAL, and I faithfully share them with each one of you. May the LORD bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 07-02-2021 #02, en.p7}
