Continued from Part 3.
White, 1-5 (chs. 13:11-17; 18:1-5; 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12. Deceiver of all Nations – “In the seventeenth of Revelation is foretold the destruction of all the churches who corrupt themselves by idolatrous devotion to the service of the papacy, those who have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” [Revelation 17:1-4 quoted.] 7BC 983.3
White, “What is it that gives its kingdom to this power? Protestantism, a power which, while professing to have the temper and spirit of a lamb and to be allied to Heaven, speaks with the voice of a dragon. It is moved by a power from beneath (Letter 232, 1899). 7BC 983.5 Note: She is referencing Rev. 17:17, the ten horns give their power…their kingdoms to the beast (papacy, powered by the dragon/Satan).
Revelation 17:17 “For God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the worlds of God shall be fulfilled. Emphasis added.
The ‘ten kings’ do not represent global elitist and all that other stuff that is being tossed around.
White, 13, 14 (chs. 13:11-17; 16:13-16). A Confederacy of Satan’s Forces – [Revelation 17:13, 14 quoted.] “These have one mind.” There will be a universal bond of union, one great harmony, a confederacy of Satan’s forces. “and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” Thus is manifested the same arbitrary, oppressive power against religious liberty, freedom to worship God according to the dictates of conscience, as was manifested by the papacy, when in the past it persecuted those who dared to refuse to conform with the religious rites and ceremonies of Romanism. 7BC 983.6
Who are these ‘ten kings’? Who are the ‘ten toes mingled with clay’ of the statute of Daniel 2? As it relates to end time events, it is Protestantism…apostate Protestantism to be more specific. Protestantism is going to take over the entire world and lead the world back to the worship of Catholicism. How does the whole world become either Protestant or Catholic? Through the miracle of Satan appearing as Christ. Not through global warming, COP 26 or 27 (reading of the ten commandments from Mt Sinai), not through the ‘green initiatives’ due to climate change, etc.
To convert the world, it has to be spectacular; and Satan appearing as Jesus is just that. There is nothing that would be as powerful, nothing!
There is nothing wrong with the world coming together to address climate issues at these COP conferences. But Satan is working on the minds of those who are looking in a different place for the ‘conversion factor’ of the world. He has them chasing rabbits. He has them ‘remixing’ prophecy. In reality, it is just the world coming together to talk about a global concern. The mentality of those caught up in the ‘remixing’ of prophecy look at the world coming together is evil.
As far as climate change, “While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation.” GC, Chapter 36.
What does this sentence say? WHILE APPEARING… What does “while appearing’ mean? In The Great Controversy – Chapter 36 she says, “While the appearing to the children of men as a great physician…
Let’s stop here and ask: Who was and is the Great Physician? Jesus, this is the Healer. So, when she says [speaking of Satan] ‘while appearing to the children of men as a great physician’; what she is talking about is the counterfeits. When he [Satan] comes as Christ appearing to heal, at the same time he will bring disease and disaster. There will be climate change unparallel to any other time (outside of the flood) as he reveals himself as Christ.
And then the great deceiver will persuade men and women that those who serve God are causing these evils. The class that have provoked the displeasure of Heaven will charge all their troubles upon those whose obedience to God’s commandments is a perpetual reproof to transgressors. It will be declared that men are offending God by the violation of the Sunday-sabbath, that this sin has brought calamities which will not cease until Sunday observance shall be strictly enforced, and that those who present the claims of the fourth commandment, thus destroying reverence for Sunday, are troublers of the people, preventing their restoration to divine favor and temporal prosperity. EGW, The Great Controversy, Chapter 39.
Breakdown:
Satan appears as Christ
He tells the whole world to keep Sunday in honor of him
He performs miracles in the sight of men.
Fire is called down from heaven.
Because the faithful will be keeping all of God’s Ten Commandments as identified in scripture, Satan appears as Christ while at the same time bringing disaster, chaotic weather [he is the prince of the air] and blaming it on those who refuse to keep ‘his law’. Scripture for further study: Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12; Rev. 2:13; 1 Jn. 5:19; Luke 4:6, 13:16; Heb. 2:14; Luke 13:16; 2 Cor. 4:4, 12:7; Rev. 13:12; Matt. 9:34, 12:24; Jn. 12:31; Mat. 4:8-9; Job 1:2; Jn. 12:31.
The chaos begins after his appearing and not before, so we know it is not happening now.
