Sabbath Delight
Isaiah 9
1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
9 And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
11 Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
14 Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
15 The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
17 Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
18 For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
19 Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother.
20 And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
21 Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh: and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Last Day Events The Chapter 5 "Devotional Life of the Remnant"
A Twofold Life
In this age, just prior to the second coming of Christ in the clouds of heaven, such a work as that of John [the Baptist] is to be done. God calls for men who will prepare a people to stand in the great day of the Lord…. In order to give such a message as John gave, we must have a spiritual experience like his. The same work must be wrought in us. We must behold God, and in beholding Him lose sight of self.—Testimonies for the Church 8:332, 333 (1904). {LDE 63.1; EUD.57.1}
Communion with God will ennoble the character and the life. Men will take knowledge of us, as of the first disciples, that we have been with Jesus. This will impart to the worker a power that nothing else can give. Of this power he must not allow himself to be deprived. We must live a twofold life—a life of thought and action, of silent prayer and earnest work.—The Ministry of Healing, 512 (1905). {LDE 63.2; EUD.57.2}
Prayer and effort, effort and prayer, will be the business of your life. You must pray as though the efficiency and praise were all due to God, and labor as though duty were all your own.—Testimonies for the Church 4:538 (1881). {LDE 63.3; EUD.58.1}
No man is safe for a day or an hour without prayer.—The Great Controversy, 530 (1911). {LDE 64.1; EUD.58.2}
He who does nothing but pray will soon cease to pray.—Steps to Christ, 101 (1892). {LDE 64.2; EUD.58.3}
Firmly Rooted In Christ
The storm is coming, the storm that will try every man’s faith of what sort it is. Believers must now be firmly rooted in Christ or else they will be led astray by some phase of error.—Evangelism, 361, 362 (1905). {LDE 64.3; EUD.58.4}
It would be well for us to spend a thoughtful hour each day in contemplation of the life of Christ. We should take it point by point and let the imagination grasp each scene, especially the closing ones.—The Desire of Ages, 83 (1898). {LDE 64.4; EUD.58.5}
The only defense against evil is the indwelling of Christ in the heart through faith in His righteousness. Unless we become vitally connected with God, we can never resist the unhallowed effects of self-love, self-indulgence, and temptation to sin. We may leave off many bad habits, for the time we may part company with Satan; but without a vital connection with God, through the surrender of ourselves to Him moment by moment, we shall be overcome. Without a personal acquaintance with Christ, and a continual communion, we are at the mercy of the enemy, and shall do his bidding in the end.—The Desire of Ages, 324 (1898). {LDE 64.5; EUD.58.6}
Christ and Him crucified should be the theme of contemplation, of conversation, and of our most joyful emotion.—Steps to Christ, 103, 104 (1892). {LDE 65.1; EUD.58.6}
Molded By The Holy Spirit
Never will the human heart know happiness until it is submitted to be molded by the Spirit of God. The Spirit conforms the renewed soul to the model, Jesus Christ. Through its influence, enmity against God is changed into faith and love, and pride into humility. The soul perceives the beauty of truth, and Christ is honored in excellence and perfection of character.—Our High Calling, 152 (1896). {LDE 65.2; EUD.58.7}
There is not an impulse of our nature, not a faculty of the mind or an inclination of the heart, but needs to be, moment by moment, under the control of the Spirit of God.—Patriarchs and Prophets, 421 (1890). {LDE 65.3; EUD.59.1}
The Spirit illumines our darkness, informs our ignorance, and helps us in our manifold necessities. But the mind must be constantly going out after God. If worldliness is allowed to come in, if we have no desire to pray, no desire to commune with Him who is the source of strength and wisdom, the Spirit will not abide with us.—Our High Calling, 154 (1904). {LDE 65.4; EUD.59.2}
The Necessity of Bible Study
No renewed heart can be kept in a condition of sweetness without the daily application of the salt of the Word. Divine grace must be received daily, or no man will stay converted.—Our High Calling, 215 (1897). {LDE 65.5; EUD.59.3}
Let your faith be substantiated by the Word of God. Grasp firmly the living testimony of truth. Have faith in Christ as a personal Saviour. He has been and ever will be our Rock of Ages.—Evangelism, 362 (1905). {LDE 66.1; EUD.59.4}
Christians should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise, and this preparation they should make by diligently studying the Word of God and striving to conform their lives to its precepts.—Prophets and Kings, 626 (c. 1914). {LDE 66.2; EUD.59.5}
None but those who have fortified the mind with the truths of the Bible will stand through the last great conflict.—The Great Controversy, 593, 594 (1911). {LDE 66.3; EUD.59.6}
Only those who have been diligent students of the Scriptures and who have received the love of the truth will be shielded from the powerful delusion that takes the world captive.—The Great Controversy, 625 (1911). {LDE 66.4; EUD.59.7}
Our people need to understand the oracles of God; they need to have a systematic knowledge of the principles of revealed truth, which will fit them for what is coming upon the earth and prevent them from being carried about by every wind of doctrine.—Testimonies for the Church 5:273 (1885). {LDE 66.5; EUD.60.1}
Commit Scripture to Memory
Several times each day precious, golden moments should be consecrated to prayer and the study of the Scriptures, if it is only to commit a text to memory, that spiritual life may exist in the soul.—Testimonies for the Church 4:459 (1880). {LDE 66.6; EUD.60.2}
God’s precious Word is the standard for youth who would be loyal to the King of heaven. Let them study the Scriptures. Let them commit text after text to memory and acquire a knowledge of what the Lord has said.—My Life Today, 315 (1887). {LDE 67.1; EUD.60.3}
Build a wall of scriptures around you, and you will see that the world cannot break it down. Commit the Scriptures to memory, and then throw right back upon Satan when he comes with his temptations, “It is written.” This is the way that our Lord met the temptations of Satan, and resisted them.—The Review and Herald, April 10, 1888. {LDE 67.2; EUD.60.4}
Hang in memory’s hall the precious words of Christ. They are to be valued far above silver or gold.—Testimonies for the Church 6:81 (1900). {LDE 67.3; EUD.60.5}
Keep a pocket Bible with you as you work, and improve every opportunity to commit to memory its precious promises.—The Review and Herald, April 27, 1905. {LDE 67.4; EUD.60.6}
The time will come when many will be deprived of the written Word. But if this Word is printed in the memory, no one can take it from us.—Manuscript Releases 20:64 (1906). {LDE 67.5; EUD.60.7}
Study the Word of God. Commit its precious promises to memory so that, when we shall be deprived of our Bibles, we may still be in possession of the Word of God.—Manuscript Releases 10:298 (1909). {LDE 67.6; EUD.60.8}
Revelation 14 an Anchor to God’s People
In these last days it is our duty to ascertain the full meaning of the first, second, and third angels’ messages. All our transactions should be in accordance with the Word of God. The first, second, and third angels’ messages are all united and are revealed in the fourteenth chapter of Revelation from the sixth verse to the close.—Manuscript Releases 13:68 (1896). {LDE 68.1; EUD.61.1}
Many who embraced the third message had not had an experience in the two former messages. Satan understood this, and his evil eye was upon them to overthrow them; but the third angel was pointing them to the most holy place, and those who had an experience in the past messages were pointing them the way to the heavenly sanctuary. Many saw the perfect chain of truth in the angels’ messages and gladly received them in their order, and followed Jesus by faith into the heavenly sanctuary. These messages were represented to me as an anchor to the people of God. Those who understand and receive them will be kept from being swept away by the many delusions of Satan.—Early Writings, 256 (1858). {LDE 68.2; EUD.61.2}
Educate the Mind to Believe God’s Word
Those who feel at liberty to question the Word of God, to doubt everything where there is any chance to be unbelieving, will find that it will require a tremendous struggle to have faith when trouble comes. It will be almost impossible to overcome the influence that binds the mind which has been educated in the line of unbelief, for by this course the soul is bound in Satan’s snare and becomes powerless to break the dreadful net that has been woven closer and closer about the soul. {LDE 68.3; EUD.61.3}
In taking a position of doubt, man calls to his aid the agencies of Satan. But the only hope of one who has been educated in the line of unbelief is to fall all helpless upon the Saviour and, like a child, submit his will and his way to Christ that he may be brought out of darkness into His marvelous light. Man does not have the power to recover himself from the snare of Satan. He who educates himself in the line of questioning, doubting, and criticizing strengthens himself in infidelity.—Ms 3, 1895. {LDE 69.1; EUD.61.4}
Preparation for Future Trials
The servants of Christ are to prepare no set speech to present when brought to trial for their faith. Their preparation is to be made day by day, in treasuring up in their hearts the precious truths of God’s Word, in feeding upon the teaching of Christ, and through prayer strengthening their faith; then, when brought into trial, the Holy Spirit will bring to their remembrance the very truths that will reach the hearts of those who shall come to hear. God will flash the knowledge obtained by diligent searching of the Scriptures into their memory at the very time when it is needed.—Counsels on Sabbath School Work, 40, 41 (1900). {LDE 69.2; EUD.62.1}
When the time of trial shall come there are men now preaching to others who will find, upon examining the positions they hold, that there are many things for which they can give no satisfactory reason. Until thus tested they knew not their great ignorance. And there are many in the church who take it for granted that they understand what they believe, but, until controversy arises, they do not know their own weakness. When separated from those of like faith and compelled to stand singly and alone to explain their belief, they will be surprised to see how confused are their ideas of what they had accepted as truth.—Testimonies for the Church 5:707 (1889). {LDE 70.1; EUD.62.3}
Control the Moral Powers
The ability to give a reason for our faith is a good accomplishment, but if the truth does not go deeper than this, the soul will never be saved. The heart must be purified from all moral defilement.—Our High Calling, 142 (1893). {LDE 70.2; EUD.62.4}
Few realize that it is a duty to exercise control over their thoughts and imaginations. It is difficult to keep the undisciplined mind fixed upon profitable subjects. But if the thoughts are not properly employed, religion cannot flourish in the soul. The mind must be preoccupied with sacred and eternal things, or it will cherish trifling and superficial thoughts. Both the intellectual and the moral powers must be disciplined, and they will strengthen and improve by exercise.—Our High Calling, 111 (1881). {LDE 70.3; EUD.63.1}
We greatly need to encourage and cultivate pure, chaste thoughts, and to strengthen the moral powers rather than the lower and carnal powers. God help us to awake from our self-indulgent appetites!—Medical Ministry, 278 (1896). {LDE 70.4; EUD.63.2}
The Example of Enoch
Enoch walked with God three hundred years previous to his translation to heaven, and the state of the world was not then more favorable for the perfection of Christian character than it is today. And how did Enoch walk with God? He educated his mind and heart to ever feel that he was in the presence of God, and when in perplexity his prayers would ascend to God to keep him. {LDE 71.1; EUD.63.3}
He refused to take any course that would offend his God. He kept the Lord continually before him. He would pray, “Teach me Thy way, that I may not err. What is Thy pleasure concerning me? What shall I do to honor Thee, my God?” Thus he was constantly shaping his way and course in accordance with God’s commandments, and he had perfect confidence and trust in his heavenly Father, that He would help him. He had no thought or will of his own. It was all submerged in the will of his Father. {LDE 71.2; EUD.63.4}
Now Enoch was a representative of those who will be upon the earth when Christ shall come, who will be translated to heaven without seeing death.—Sermons and Talks 1, 32 (1886). {LDE 71.3; EUD.63.5}
Enoch had temptations as well as we. He was surrounded with society no more friendly to righteousness than is that which surrounds us. The atmosphere he breathed was tainted with sin and corruption the same as ours, yet he lived a life of holiness. He was unsullied with the prevailing sins of the age in which he lived. So may we remain pure and uncorrupted.—Testimonies for the Church 2:122 (1868). {LDE 71.4; EUD.63.6}
Remember God’s Past Blessings
In reviewing our past history, having traveled over every step of advance to our present standing, I can say, Praise God! As I see what the Lord has wrought, I am filled with astonishment, and with confidence in Christ as leader. We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.—Life Sketches of Ellen G. White, 196 (1902). {LDE 72.1; EUD.64.1}
A Time for Serious Reflection
If there ever was a time when serious reflection becomes every one who fears God, it is now, when personal piety is essential. The inquiry should be made, “What am I, and what is my work and mission in this time? On which side am I working—Christ’s side or the enemy’s side?” Let every soul now humble himself or herself before God, for now we are surely living in the great Day of Atonement. The cases even now of many are passing in review before God, for they are to sleep in their graves a little season. Your profession of faith is not your guarantee in that day, but the state of your affections. Is the soul-temple cleansed of its defilement? Are my sins confessed and am I repenting of them before God, that they may be blotted out? Do I esteem myself too lightly? Am I willing to make any and every sacrifice for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ? Do I feel every moment I am not my own, but Christ’s property, that my service belongs to God, whose I am?—Ms 87, 1886. {LDE 72.2; EUD.64.2}
We should ask ourselves, “For what are we living and working? And what will be the outcome of it all?”—The Signs of the Times, November 21, 1892. {LDE 73.1; EUD.65.1}
Living With Reference to the Judgment Day
I have questioned in my mind, as I have seen the people in our cities hurrying to and fro with business, whether they ever thought of the day of God that is just upon us. Every one of us should be living with reference to the great day which is soon to come upon us.—Sermons and Talks 1:25 (1886). {LDE 73.2; EUD.65.2}
We cannot afford to live with no reference to the day of judgment; for though long delayed, it is now near, even at the door, and hasteth greatly. The trumpet of the Archangel will soon startle the living and wake the dead.—Child Guidance, 560, 561 (1892). {LDE 73.3; EUD.65.3}
Ready for Christ’s Return
If we find no pleasure now in the contemplation of heavenly things; if we have no interest in seeking the knowledge of God, no delight in beholding the character of Christ; if holiness has no attractions for us—then we may be sure that our hope of heaven is vain. Perfect conformity to the will of God is the high aim to be constantly before the Christian. He will love to talk of God, of Jesus, of the home of bliss and purity which Christ has prepared for them that love Him. The contemplation of these themes, when the soul feasts upon the blessed assurances of God, the apostle represents as tasting “the powers of the world to come.”—Testimonies for the Church 5:745 (1889). { LDE 73.4; EUD.65.4 }
If you are right with God today, you are ready if Christ should come today.—In Heavenly Places, 227 (1891). {LDE 74.1; EUD.65.5}
Testimony: 09-08-2018 #01
Beloveds, September 8, 2018. In dreams I was going down a hill, and as I was going down I heard a loud noise coming from the sky, and I looked towards it, on my right hand, and I saw one of the clouds, it was shaped like an eagle. On the road I was going, I also saw that there was another person with me, and I said: look, do you see that cloud? And he said: yes, I see. {Daisy Escalante: 09-08-2018 #01, en.p1}
So I kept watching and for some reason I knew it was the white head eagle, or better known as the bald eagle. I kept looking and saw behind the cloud that formed the eagle; that it’s posture was standing, like that of a tree, and it’s wings were stuck to it’s body; I saw a cloud behind it, and from it came three huge frogs, very large, they were jumping and they fell into the cloud in the shape of an eagle. And this one, the eagle from the neck down, turned the color of frogs, but it was still an eagle. I saw as the shape of it’s body began to change. Then I saw how it spread its wings and made a very loud scream, very loud and began its flight. I saw how her shadow was reflected on the ground and I saw that she was going in front and her shadow behind. I saw how where its shadow passed the ground turned red. {Daisy Escalante: 09-08-2018 #01, en.p2}
Then at that moment I was taken up and now I saw the flight of the eagle, but above of it, and I saw how the shadow left by this eagle in its path, everything turned red. She circled the earth with a hasty flight, and everything in her path was turning red. I also saw how the eagle screamed loudly and did not go with its legs backwards as when birds fly with their legs backwards, but carried them forward, and in certain points of the land or sea it threw itself in the form of hunting and she closed her claws as if she were going to grab something, but she didn’t grab anything, because I didn’t see anything that she was grabbing with her claws, so I exclaimed: Oh Lord, where are your children? Then at that moment my companion told me: Observe. My eyes were opened and I saw a place where this imposing eagle with a tremendous screech attacked, then I observed and saw how there was a group of people, all were prostrate, with faces on ground, and a transparent cover, strongly surrounded each one from them and protected them from the attack of that mighty eagle. I saw many small groups on land and sea in the same way and they remained like this day and night, at that moment I was told: that only a total and unfeigned humiliation would be the safeguard, because these terrible times that we have and those that are even more terrible that we already have almost on top of are the only way that we will be able to be saved, and safeguarded in that hour, a total and constant humiliation before God. {Daisy Escalante: 09-08-2018 #01, en.p3}
I pray and I supplicate to the Lord, dear brothers, that it be so, that we are all in humiliation and I pray before God, so that in these difficult situations that we see and contemplate from a distance but very soon we are all going to be involved in this, we can be protected by Christ Jesus. May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 09-08-2018 #01, en.p4}
Testimony: 12-11-2018
Beloved, December 11, 2018. In dreams, I saw that many people who recognized what their duty was and did not execute it, or accepted it, will be stragglers. This duty covered all aspects; physical, mental and spiritual. {Daisy Escalante: 12-11-2018 , en.p1}
I was let to know that God who calls empowers, but the individual for not wanting to leave his comfort zone, and daring to ignore the call of the Eternal, soon a cloud of blackness will seize his being and this will disable him for the entrusted work. I saw that it was a terrible sin to resist the call of the Holy Spirit, because to reject this call is equivalent to the loss of salvation. {Daisy Escalante: 12-11-2018 , en.p2}
At that moment my companion said: “this century, at this moment, there is no time to lose, the marriage preparations are ready, and the book is quickly worked, everything is prepared for the final outcome! a delay, now, thus, would be fatal!.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-11-2018 , en.p3}
I saw how people I knew and did not know had mental struggles, whether or not to obey the orders given by God for this hour, and the more they resisted, a dark veil like a night shadow covered them. Angels exalted in glory contemplated this moment, and if the person fell to his knees in search of help, they moved quickly bringing light where the darkness was; I also saw others where a lot of light shone in them, and these in their delay, it was extinguished until it was in total darkness. {Daisy Escalante: 12-11-2018 , en.p4}
I was allowed to know that our mind together with the free will is a very powerful weapon to be able to overcome if we submit them to God; but if we ignore this and let ourselves be intimidated by the enemy, we will still be defeated even with all the advantages. {Daisy Escalante: 12-11-2018 , en.p5}
I saw that our urgent work is to cry out for deliverance from sin in our lives and to prepare ourselves with the earthly instructions that God has already stipulated long ago. The God of Israel can give inheritance to His children even in the most inhospitable deserts, it is only to consecrate ourselves to Him and walk to do His will. It is not God’s plan that no one tries to obtain anything by dishonest gain or robbery, the Holy One of Israel is powerful to grant us what He knows we need. It is not His will that His children snatch what does not belong to them, “heaven is order and justice, peace and love,” I was told, “and everyone who acts unworthily will not be able to have God’s protection.” {Daisy Escalante: 12-11-2018 , en.p6}
“So be zealous,” I was told, “submissive and just, and ministering angels will guide you along safe paths.”
May God grant that this be so, it is my request and prayer. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 12-11-2018 , en.p7}
Testimony: 06-22-2019
Beloveds, June 22 2019. In dreams, I was taken to a place where we were looking to reunite. We were not carrying cell phones because they could no longer be used. I could see how young people, and some adults, clung to these devices and cried for them. I could hear them cursing the system that turned them off. I saw them like drug addicts – desperate for their drug at any cost, but cannot get it. Their meaningless lives were now leading them adrift. And I saw them as programmed robots, who now, without programming, did not know what to do. My companion said: “come and see.” I then saw a great mountain of young people, and some adults, who were obsolete to the present, existing time. These were not prepared to give with their faith the final battle. Said my companion: “They knew it, but they silenced their conscience. Everything that hindered them was their bitterest enemy. They did not see that truth, justice and mercy were passing before them. It will be too late for them to wake up,” He continued telling me. And again He said to me: “observe. At that moment I saw a young man, a dying young man staggering out of that mountain. And I encouraged him. I called out to him and said, “Run, run, run, the car is almost gone, come on, get on!” I saw him running exhausted and staggering. He was struggling to reach the car, but he couldn’t reach. At one he ran and with a cry of pain jumped up and grabbed the fender of the car, but he could not hold on, and soon fell to the ground and I saw him no more. {Daisy Escalante: 06-22-2019 , en.p1}
I suffered bitterly at not seeing that young man anymore. We continued in that bus, where what we were looking around us was all pain, it was a lot of sadness and desolation was seen. The scene changed and He said to me: “come and see.” I said: “Ah, Lord! My sadness is very great, grant me to see no more.” And He said to me, “You must see, only then can you understand.” Then I looked and saw many baskets of babies. These baskets were covered with blankets, so I began to uncover them. In them I saw children. Their faces were of adults, but the face of their body was that of a baby. There, as I uncovered them to see them, I saw many acquaintances and my being shuddered. I asked, “Why are they like this if they were adults?” And He answered me in a sad tone, almost crying, “They did not perceive the truth in front of them. It seemed hard, difficult and meaningless to them. They neglected everything spiritual and put their greatest attention to the material, and this is their result: they did not grow, remaining as spiritual babies, without strength. And if with those on foot they could not, how can they with those on horseback?” I wept bitterly, beloved, for them, but there was nothing more to do. {Daisy Escalante: 06-22-2019 , en.p2}
At that moment I woke up and was given two biblical quotations, “Jeremiah 3 and Jeremiah 4:2-3”. May the Lord bless you. {Daisy Escalante: 06-22-2019 , en.p3}
Jeremiah 3
1 They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
2 Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
4 Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
5 Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
6 The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
7 And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
8 And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
9 And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
10 And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
11 And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
12 Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
14 Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
16 And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
20 Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
21 A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
22 Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
23 Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
24 For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
25 We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
Jeremiah 4:2-3
2 And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
3 For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

July 14, 2019. In dreams I was standing in front of a multi-story house, and I had to bring up some things; I asked for help to some young people and they took some things, but when they got to the place, they left the things and sat down. I encouraged them to continue and I saw one who was closer to me and I said to him: leave that cell phone, can’t you see that it is making you sleepy? But the young man would not let go, I was telling him that he was caressing something bad, but he said that no, that it was something harmless; I insisted but could not make him reason. I leaned closer to get a closer look and see his eyes, to see if I could make him enter in reason to let go. At that moment I saw how the cell phone turned into a serpent with very large and sharp teeth, this wrapped itself around his neck and bit him, the young man was already falling to the ground with the poison, and I grabbed the snake by the tail, I pulled it and took it off of him; I began to assist him but he was not reacting. I cried out: Oh God, help him. Then I heard a strong voice, so strong that my being trembled, that said: “if he does not let go of the serpent, this is about to bite him and there will be no more opportunity, and have crossed the limit of mercy and his end will certainly come.” Then the voice went on saying: “remove, remove the anathema from among you, and seek the silent ministers earnestly, and seek strength to thus conquer. Every mountain will be removed and every hill will be discarded before the coming of the Almighty, the judgment is almost complete and who will be able to remain standing? Allow the help from above, so to overcome, because there is no time to vacillate.” If you do so, you will win, but if you reject these words you will perish. {Daisy Escalante: 07-14-2019, en.p1}
Then my companion appeared and said to me, while I was trying to assist him: “it is about to cross the mercy of God.”
There I woke up beloved, God grant that each one of us can remove all anathema from our midst and we can decide for “a thus says Jehovah.” May the Lord bless you all. {Daisy Escalante: 07-14-2019, en.p2}
Testimony: 04-13-2020
Beloved, April 13, 2020. In dreams I saw how many people, especially young people and adults, were in a room, and had a concern, and this concern was how to prepare a task, this task consisted of looking for a sheet and write and set up a stage in reference to that sheet; I saw them give a tremendous effort in this and use anything to achieve it; I saw that no matter how hard they tried many were not able to feel satisfied. While they were looking on how to solve this, I saw a young woman with a sheet with two hearts, and she came forward and gave her presentation, everyone stayed amazed, she spoke of adultery, homosexuality, in short, her degrading speech was highly coveted and applauded. {Daisy Escalante: 04-13-2020, en.p1}
I said: Lord, how two hearts on one page could make this person expose so much evil?” He answered me: “the minds of many, the majority, rejoice in this and they love the abomination, they speak of sin as something normal, and they see it in other and excuse it. Some withdraw from this life, but have conversations about this idolatrous life with others for ingratiating themselves with them or for looking for something to talk about, but this is counted as participating in the same. Whoever listens to this and takes it lightly and does not rebuke it will be abominable in My eyes, and My face will not see him anymore, since his ears loved hearing abominations and his senses delighted in this.” {Daisy Escalante: 04-13-2020, en.p2}
At that moment the scene changed and I saw some people in the street with tables and merchandise. It was a small market for things. I started walking among them and seeing what they had. I saw food, articles, books, I saw that everything was unworthy and there were very few articles, and the merchants looked discouraged and neglected their merchandise. I approached where the books were and I began to see them one by one. I saw there that there were books of the spirit of prophecy. I saw several Great Controversy, and a Lady came up to me and said: these are compact, very good to carry. I opened them, and saw that it was a shrunken compilation. While I was looking at it, I heard the voice that told me: “this is disapproved!” I kept looking and I saw a small but complete book of the Great Controversy, I took it and hugged it close to my chest and I thought “this one I’ll take, it’s complete.” The saleswoman told me: “that one is very heavy, that’s why nobody buys it, there are several of those heavy ones out there, if you want them I will give them to you because nobody buys them.” So I came out of there with several complete copies of the Great Controversy. I was told: “offer them!” I began to offer them and said: “if you desire to know the reason for all this decadence, read this wonderful book!” Many looked at me, but continued on their way. I kept offering them and a person touched my back. I turned to look and I saw a group of people, they were angry, complaining and exclaimed: “how dare you distribute that book? Besides, we already share part of it, which really matters, but that, nobody will accept it from you.” Without paying any attention, I continued on my way and continued offering them, almost without strength I arrived at a place where there was a group of people crying and praying to God to know what was happening. I heard their voices crying out, I waited by their side until they finished, and then I told them: “I have some books here that will help you understand and have peace.” They got up from their knees and snatched the books from my hands and began to devour the books. Their eyes lit up and the tears left their eyes. {Daisy Escalante: 04-13-2020, en.p3}
Then I was told: come. I was taken to another place. There I saw many with large amounts of money in their hands. They longed to achieve things with it, but it was not possible for them; everything had changed, and this was now useless; I saw them look at it and cried bitterly; I was told: “these had the opportunity to prepare themselves and help prepare many, but now it is too late because their wealth has lost all value.” I was told, “go, go to yours and tell them like this!” “prepare yourselves in every area, spiritually, with a roof, food and shelter, and everything that this includes, because soon even if you want you will not be able. Hurry because the time is very short, nothing will be the same and peace will flee from the world; only those will remain who do the will of My Father who is in Heaven.” Then He asked a question: What will you do then to receive eternal life? And He Himself answered: “you can do nothing, because this is for free conditional on obedience, and the latter is My mandate.” How will you be spiritually prepared? He said, “seek Me with all your heart and I will instruct you and I will be with you until the end; What is your part? “Seek Me and I will open the windows of heaven, and I will give you great blessing, and I will widen your paths, and I will open the doors, and thus located you will be able with My blessing to secure your roof, food and shelter; come close to me and I will come close to you.” {Daisy Escalante: 04-13-2020, en.p4}
May God grant that each one of us can understand God’s mercy, we can take hold of that mercy, we can appreciate it and we can walk after it, and thus certainly holding on to the Lord we can overcome and walk safely in the midst of the storm. May the Lord bless us. {Daisy Escalante: 04-13-2020, en.p5}
Testimony: 05-01-2020 #01
May 1, 2020. In dreams I saw how many people asked, in supplication, to be given an apartment in a residential area. They asked for food and for their life to be organized. I saw that indolence, bad decisions and laziness had done this: that people wanted to live in this place. Because everything essential was provided there: shelter, sustenance and cover. This created so much laziness, conformity, like asleepiness. In which years went by on this. And I was let know that a new, culminating stage began in 2003, and now it was 2020, and their dependently static life of: getting up, eating and sleeping, made them so inactive that their mind got clouded and they could not see the door of opportunity. They were invalids, mentally ill. {Daisy Escalante: 05-01-2020 #01, en.p1}
I said, “Oh Lord! Why are you telling me this?” He replied: “There are many people who know about Me in these places, and they live very sleepy. But I have directed a warning that will shake them to see if they can be delivered.” I said, “Holy, Holy, my God! Slow to anger and great in mercy and truth! Thank you for Your mercies!” {Daisy Escalante: 05-01-2020 #01, en.p2}
At that moment, beloved, there, I woke up. Praying and crying out so that they do not waste the opportunity that God grants them. God grant it be so. It is my request and prayer. May the Lord bless us all. {Daisy Escalante: 05-01-2020 #01, en.p3}
