Supreme  Court  Decides: SUNDAY  LAW  IS  CONSTITUTIONAL!

     We will continue with our Scenario of Events Series in our next Newsletter.  But as unbelievable as the title for this Newspaper sounds, yet it is a fact of truth!  What many people do not realize is that the issue of whether or not a Sunday Law is constitutional has already been heard, discussed and decided by the Supreme Court of the United States of America over 55 years ago!
     The following States have Sunday (Blue) Laws: Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and West Virginia!  These restrictive Sunday laws were challenged by 4 lawsuits within 3 of these States as being unconstitutional.

     In 1961, the Supreme Court decided, and Roman Catholic Chief Justice Earl Warren declared in all 4 of these cases, that the law making Sunday a uniform day of rest from secular activities did not violate the Constitution, even though it favored a rest day considered holy by a majority of religions.
     These 4 case decisions were:
     #1. Margaret M. McGowan vs State of Maryland, 366 U.S. 420, docket #: 8 (May 29,1961), at http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol=366&page=420, accessed 4-4-19;

     #2. Gallagher vs Crown Kosher Super Market of Massachusetts, 366 U.S. 617, docket #: 11 (May 29, 1961), at http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=366&invol=617, accessed 4-4-19;

     #3. Two Guys from Harrison Allentown (Pennsyvania), Inc. vs McGinley, 366 U.S. 582, docket #: 36 (May 29, 1961), at http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=366&invol=582, accessed 4-4-19;

     #4. Braunfeld vs Brown, 366 U.S. 599, docket #: 67 (May 29, 1961), at http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol=366&page=599, accessed 4-4-19.


     Since McGowan vs Maryland was the first case decided, then this case served as a precedent for determining the remaining 3 cases.  Chief Justice Warren stated the reasoning behind declaring these Sunday laws to be constitutional:
     “(c)...In the light of the evolution of our Sunday Closing Laws through the centuries, and of their more or less recent emphasis upon secular considerations, it is concluded that, as presently written and administered, most of them, at least, are of a secular rather than of a religious character, and that presently they bear no relationship to establishment of religion, as those words are used in the Constitution of the United States. Pp. 431-444.
     “(d) The present purpose and effect of most of our Sunday Closing Laws is to provide a uniform day of rest for all citizens; and the fact that this day is Sunday, a day of particular significance for the dominant Christian sects, does not bar the State from achieving its secular goals. Pp. 444-445.
     “(e) After engaging in the close scrutiny demanded of it when First Amendment liberties are at issue, this Court accepts the determination of the State Supreme Court that the present purpose and effect of the statute here involved is not to aid religion but to set aside a day of rest and recreation. Pp. 445-449.” Margaret M. McGowan vs State of Maryland, 366 U.S. 420, docket #: 8 (May 29,1961), at http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol=366&page=420, accessed 4-4-19).

     So the Supreme Court of the United States has already heard legal arguments in 4 separate cases challenging Sunday Laws, and it has decided that Sunday Laws are secular and not religious in nature, and therefore do not violate the US Constitution!
     But since the Supreme Court used the Constitution to determine the legality of State Sunday Laws in Maryland, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, and the Constitution has jurisdiction over all the United States, then this Supreme Court decision applies to every State in this Union!

     The ramifications of the Supreme Court declaring Sunday Laws to be Constitutional, includes these following startling realities:

     #1) - Current Sunday Laws in various States can be immediately enforced today without any valid legal opposition.  This means that the Sunday (Blue) Laws in 20 different States - over 1/3 of America - can be immediately enforced!

     #2) - Sunday Laws can be enacted and enforced without any valid legal opposition throughout every other State and Territory of the United States today!  In fact, the US Territory of Puerto Rico has already passed and is enforcing a Sunday Law!

     #3) - A national Sunday Law can also be enacted and enforced without any valid legal opposition throughout the United States of America and all Territories it governs!

     As these amazing realities are true, then Americans should not be surprised to find themselves fined for breaking Sunday Laws in those 20 States, or in any other States which may enact and then enforce Sunday Laws.  In fact, Bible prophecy predicts that the United States of America, depicted as a Lamb-Like Beast, will not only force Americans, but will force the whole world, to receive this Mark of the Beast.
     “And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.  And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.  And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.  And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.  And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:11-17.

     So the USA will force the whole world to receive the Mark of the Beast - the mark of Catholicism’s authority, which we have learned is keeping Sunday holy when you know that it is not a holy rest day to God, and any who refuse to do so will “be killed”!

     But is it really possible that people will be killed just because they refuse to keep Sunday holy, and instead choose to keep God’s Seventh day Saturday Sabbath holy?  Yes, this is what is prophesied to occur, and it is not just the United States who will be behind this mass bloodshed, but so will the New Age Movement of Lucifer in establishing his Plan of a One World Religion and a One World Order.
     Christopher Hyatt, who is the head of the spiritualistic secret society called Order of the Golden Dawn, states:
     "I perceive, on a mass scale, that the New Age is not going to come into being as so many people believe and wish to believe. I see it as requiring a...lot of blood, disruption, chaos and pain for a mass change to occur." Magical Blend, Issue #16, 1987, p 22.

     The Maitreya, or a false christ of the New Age Movement, states:
     "Man must change or die; there is no other course." Reappearance of the Christ, p 246, by Benjamin Creme.

     All who choose to be loyal and obedient to the living God of Heaven, who thereby worship Him on His seventh day Sabbath, and who refuse to obey the command of the United States with the backing of the One World Church and One World Government to worship on Sunday, will be considered antagonistic to this New World Order and will be targeted for removal out of it!
     "Those who fall back to old-time religions are trying to hide in the past...Such timidity is unacceptable. We have to face the world as it is, doing what is necessary to save it....A growing number of people...are sponsoring a backlash against the wave of religious fundamental fanaticism...The right course to take is that which will lead to a new world of unity and world law." Solar Man, p 244-247, by Thomas Ehrenzeller.

     But just how many people are estimated as needing to be exterminated in order to bring about this Plan of Lucifer? New Age advocate, Barbara Marx Hubbard states:
     "No worldly peace can prevail until the self-centered members of the planetary body [Christians] either change or die. That is the choice....Destruction...[to] those who refuse to be born into God-centered, universal life....Only the God-centered will survive to inherit the powers of a universal species....
     "It must be done for the sake of the future of the whole. So be it; be prepared for the selection process which is now beginning....
     "We will use whatever means we must to make this act of destruction as quick and painless as possible to the one half of the world who are capable of evolving." Barbara Marx Hubbard in Prophecy in the News, April, 1990; quoted in Globalism, p 2-4, by Raymond Blanton.

     This means that since only "one half" of the world's population are estimated as being capable of evolving into this One World Order, then the other half must be targeted for destruction!  As the population of the world is estimated today at close to 8 billion, then this means that nearly 4 billion people are targeted to be murdered in order to establish Lucifer’s New World Order!


     But how could all these followers of Lucifer possibly be led to believe and actually participate in the mass murder of such a staggering amount of their fellow human beings?  It is because they believe in the false doctrine of the immortality of the soul. They believe that when someone dies, they do not really cease to exist, but they just have another chance to accept the Plan and thus be accepted back into the physical world. So this plan for mass murder is not feared or looked upon as being in-human or evil, but is seen to be something desirable in order to more quickly bring about their Plan.
     Whereas the Bible states that death is just like sleep (see John 11:11-14; 1 Corinthians 11:30, 15:20); that the dead know not anything (Ecclesiastes 9:5-6); that all the dead will be resurrected to either eternal life because their actions were judged to be good and founded in the Lord Jesus (see John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18; Luke 14:14), or they will be resurrected to suffer the lake of fire and eternal death because their actions were judged to be evil and founded in the devil (see John 5:28-29; 2 Peter 2:9; Revelation 20:11-15).  This means that mankind only has one life to live, not many lives, and therefore only one chance to gain eternal life, not many chances.
     “...it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment”. Hebrews 9:27.

     “...behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2.  

     But it is important to understand that because of the belief in the immortality of the soul, the killing of all who refuse to keep Sunday holy and receive the Mark, as well as any others who oppose the Plan for a One World Order is not an action looked upon as evil.
     "Death is not a disaster to be feared; the work of the Destroyer is not cruel or undesirable...therefore, there is much destruction permitted by the Custodians of The Plan and much evil turned into good." Alice Bailey, quoted in Whole Life Times, Winter, 1986-1987, p 57, 71-72.


     Do you begin to realize the immensity of what is now ready to break forth upon the world? Persecution and "a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation" (see 2 Timothy 3:12; Daniel 12:1). This planned persecution and murder of nearly 4 billion people today will more than rival the persecution of the Christians during any time in the history of this world.  It will be greater than the millions of Early Christians which suffered and died by the hand of the Romans; greater than the 50 million Protestants which suffered and died by the hand of the Papacy during the Dark Ages (see The Other End of the World, p 127, 191, by Roger Rusk); greater than the 1-3 million French people which suffered and died during the French Revolution (see The French Revolution, p 419, by Nesta Webster).
     Those who choose to follow Lucifer's Plan will be blinded to think that their long hoped for Millennial New Age of peace and tranquility will not become a reality until all the people of the world – especially the true followers of God and Christ – compromise and change their beliefs, or are eliminated.

     Benjamin Creme readily admits that
     "Man must share [in our belief] or die....
     "Those who remain adamant will eventually find themselves in the minority and will have to live with it or withdraw from this life....
     "They will find it impossible, however, to halt the momentum of change, and eventually will have to adapt to the new conditions...the alternative is annihilation." Maitreya's Mission, p 109, 128, by Benjamin Creme.


     This issue – on which day we choose to worship God – will be one of the main deciding factors on whether we will receive the seal or mark or sign of God (Ezekiel 20:12, 20) and thus receive eternal life, or whether we will receive the seal or mark or sign of the Beast and thus receive the plagues and eternal death!

     God clearly and unmistakably warns all:
     "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name" Revelation 14:9-11.

     In contrast to those who are lost because they chose to obey the command to worship on Lucifer’s day of the sun and receive the Beast’s mark, Revelation pictures those who are saved as saints:
     "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus". Revelation 14:12.

     But this issue of which day we choose for worship will reflect our choice of sides in the final battle between Christ and Satan. If we choose to worship on Saturday – the Bible Sabbath (Genesis 2:2-3; Exodus 20:8-11) – then we show that we are following God and desire to be part of His Heavenly Kingdom; that we refuse to be a follower of Lucifer, or be part of his New World Order.  But if we choose to worship on Sunday – Lucifer's sabbath – then we show that we are following Satan and desire to be part of his New World Order; that we refuse to be a follower of God, or be part of His Heavenly Kingdom!

     This great test which all the people of the world will face is just waiting for Sunday to be made the official day of rest, and then enforced by law.  And with the Supreme Court’s decision, as well as the backing and support of Lucifer’s many followers, you can see that everything is ready for this to occur!
     Soon the United States of America will make Sunday a national day of rest.  And once this occurs then the stage is set for Lucifer himself appearing and pretending to be Jesus Christ come back to earth. When Satan does personate Jesus as the Lord of the Sabbath, all who refuse to follow God’s word of truth, including those apostate members of the fallen churches, New Age Movement, pagan and spiritualistic religions and secret societies, will accept this deceiver as being the real Christ!   Satan will then present his Sunday-sabbath as a test of loyalty, and then command all the world to obey him, and the United States will use its military might to make sure all nations comply.  This means that every single human being will be forced on pain of death to either accept or reject Sunday as the world’s rest day!

     In obeying the commandment to worship on Sunday instead of Saturday, you would be showing your loyalty to Lucifer and to the Beast. Thus you would receive the Mark of the Beast which is symbolically placed in your forehead - showing that you really believe in it; or placed in your hand - showing that you may not believe in it, but you will go along with it anyway.  In refusing to obey the commandment of Lucifer to worship only on Sunday, and instead worship God only on Saturday, then you would be showing loyalty to the God of heaven. Thus you would receive the mark or seal of the living God. But in choosing God's Sabbath over Sunday you would be showing disrespect to Lucifer who is hailed by the world as being Christ returned to the earth, and thus you would expose yourself and be targeted for removal.

     Every single person of the earth will be brought to decide for Lucifer and his spurious Sunday sabbath, or for the God of Heaven and His true Bible Saturday Sabbath, and compromise will be impossible!  This is an either/or decision!  And the apostate Roman Catholic Church understands this issue very well!
     "The arguments...are firmly grounded on the word of God, and having been closely studied with the Bible in hand, leave no escape for the conscientious Protestant except the abandonment of Sunday worship and the return to Saturday, commanded by their teacher, the Bible, or, unwilling to abandon the tradition of the Catholic Church, which enjoins the keeping of Sunday, and which they have accepted in direct opposition to their teacher, the Bible, consistently accept her (the Catholic Church) in all her teachings. Reason and common sense demand the acceptance of one or the other of these alternatives: either Protestantism and the keeping holy of Saturday, or Catholicism and the keeping holy of Sunday. Compromise is impossible." James Cardinal Gibbons, in Catholic Mirror, December 23, 1893.

     So people from Roman Catholicism - the Beast, the United States of America - the Lamb-like Beast, Apostate Protestantism - the Image of the Beast, the New Age Movement, pagan and spiritualistic religions and secret societies, the One World Religion, and the New World Order of Lucifer are all basically agreeing – that people must go along with the Plan which includes keeping Sunday holy, or die, and no one will be allowed any excuse to avoid the consequences!

     These tremendous scenes and severely trying times are just before us.  As this is true, then what should God's people be doing NOW just before probation closes for the world, and the plagues of God are poured out in order to prepare themselves for this time of fiery trial and tests (see 1 Peter 1:3-9, 4:12; Malachi 3:3; Titus 2:13-14; Daniel 12:10)?  We should now be asking forgiveness and overcoming every sin registered against our names in the record books of heaven (see Philippians 2:12-16; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Daniel 7:10; Revelation 3:5, 20:12-15)!  We should now be learning all the precious truth of God's word, riveting it in our memory by practicing these truths; putting away all  differences between us, evil-surmising, rumors and every wicked thing keeping us from loving one another!
     We should now be unitedly spreading the last message of mercy of the loud cry found in Revelation 14 and 18 and calling people away from being united with Lucifer and from belonging to any of his fallen Babylonish churches and organizations, so that they can become one with God through Christ's righteousness and have eternal life (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; Revelation 18:1-5)!

     Now, how many people will give in and follow the great Sunday-rest lie of Lucifer and go along with his Plan of One World?  Nearly the whole human race!  Only a small remnant will not succumb to the extreme pressures to give up God and His Bible Sabbath truth (see Revelation 12:17; 1 Peter 4:18; Matthew 7:13-14; Revelation 22:11-14). Only a few will refuse to accept Lucifer’s great lie by tenaciously holding on to God's truth to the end; but what a glorious future these faithful few remnant will receive for their faithfulness!
     These faithful few 144,000, along with those faithful redeemed raised from their graves (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17), will be able to spend eternity with God and His Son Jesus in Heaven and then on the earth made new without sin and its curse ever rising again, and what a glorious reward it will be (see Revelation 15:2-3, 21:1-27, 22:1-5)!
     But if we do not now begin to spread God's truth, it will be nearly impossible to do so when all the forces of darkness break loose upon us! Proclaiming God's truth is our God-given duty to our fellow man, and we cannot shift our duty to another. If we choose to withhold giving this glorious truth to others who sit in darkness and gross darkness (see Isaiah 60:2), then someone must be left in that darkness through our neglect.

     I hope you can see that the National Sunday Law and then world-wide Sunday legislation is just around the corner, and the whole world is already beginning to divide into two separate groups.  One group is composed of those who refuse to give up the teachings of God's Word – rejecting the commandments of men and standing separate from the Babylonian New World Order and its apostate religion.  While the other group is composed of those who reject God's Word in order to follow the commandments of men and be in union with the New World Order and its apostate religion.  Each and every person in this world will be forced to make this decision for, or against, God!


     Where do you stand today dear one?  Could you make the decision to stand for God and His Sabbath truth even though your life, or the lives of your loved ones, is at stake?  Will you be able to stand when lies and falsehood become so mingled with truth that it will only be by the guidance of the Holy Spirit that you will be able to distinguish truth from error?  Will you be able to stand when your friends and relatives prove treacherous and betray you, or do all that they can to place you in hard and trying circumstances so that you will deny your faith and join them in union with Babylon and the Plan of the One World Order to keep Sunday holy (see Luke 21:16-19; Matthew 10:17-22)?  Will you be able to stand when you have to encounter sneers and unnecessary difficulties; or when your words and faith are misrepresented; or when you are reviled and persecuted, and have to endure coldness and contempt, and the threat of death or even death itself?  If your feet are firmly planted upon the unshakable platform of eternal truth – the ROCK Christ Jesus – then you will be able to stand and not fall during this fast approaching time of universal rebellion against God and His truth.
     “Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever.  Amen.” Jude 1:24-25.

     Now I hope you have been able to see and understand that Lucifer has everything prepared and is just waiting for the precise time so that this great test of Sabbath vs Sunday can burst forth with fury upon all peoples in every nation of this world. But only those who keep a solid hold upon God and His word of truth in their hearts and minds, and who “endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Matthew 24:13.

     May God help us all to know the truth for ourselves and to keep it, to know our duty and do it, and to prepare now, for the time of trouble such as never was is just ahead.

     "O brother, or sister be faithful, soon Jesus will come, for whom we have waited so long!"

HEALTH - MEDICAL MISSIONARY WORK
     The Health and Medical Missionary work in the Central African nation of Zambia is progressing forward.  To the glory of God, the Herbal and Health Clinic building has been completed.  The roof has been put on; the cement floor have been poured, cured and sealed; the windows and doors have been installed.  All that remains is to furnish it with necessary lighting, proper furniture, medical and herbal supplies, and then finally it will be ready to function and help the local community learn more about the 8 Laws of Health, and experience how sickness and disease can be naturally treated with various herbal and other simple remedies.
     While waiting for this construction to be completed, our worker has already been treating the sick with simple herbs and natural remedies, and we will be printing some of the testimonials of God’s healing grace in our next Newsletter.
     We again solicit and greatly appreciate your prayers and continued support in furthering this great Medical Missionary work, especially for precious souls to be won to Jesus Christ through this mighty entering wedge of Health Reform.



CORRECTION - Abomination of Desolation and Church History, 2nd Edition
     The historical teaching of the SDA church is that A.G. Daniells was chosen to be the president of the General Conference in the 1901 General Conference Session.  But further historical research shows this not to be true at all.
     In the 1901 reorganization of the SDA church structure, the delegate body removed the position of president of the GC from the voted church constitution.  The highest leadership position allowed for was only the chairman of the GC, which Daniells was elected to fill.  So there was no president elected to the GC in the 1901 Session!
     Further historical evidence also revealed that near the end of the year 1901, Daniells began referring to himself as being the president of the GC, even though there was no provision in the 1901 organizational platform allowing for that position.  But in the 1903 General Conference Session, the delegate body voted to change the 1901 organizational platform in order to allow for a president of the GC, and Daniells was then chosen at that time to be this president.
     Now because I relied on the historical teachings of the church in regards to Daniells being elected president in 1901, when in fact he was not, then there is a mistake in that part of the 7th chapter of my book titled “Ellen White’s Greatest Sorrow”.  I humbly apologize for this mistake, and ask all who have read this chapter, or have heard me relate this, to please forgive me.
     I have already corrected this mistake by editing this chapter to correctly state the historical factual truth, as well as including all the reference documentation needed to verify and prove that there was no president elected to the GC in 1901.  The Abomination of Desolation book on the website has also been corrected.
     All further orders of this printed book will be of this corrected edition.  But for those who already possess a copy of the previous version, please contact me and I will be happy to freely mail you just the pages affected by this correction so that you can exchange these for the incorrect ones.
     Again, please forgive me for this mistake and for any inconvience this has caused, especially in the furtherance of the lie from the SDA church.

TO OUR READERS AND SUPPORTERS:
     "Let There Be Light" Ministries is not using your prayers and donations to build itself into a kingdom, but is concerned with getting the Present Truth into the hands of the common people quickly, effectively, and wisely. Instead of working towards acquiring expensive video and T.V. production equipment, satellite or shortwave facilities, we would rather use the Lord's money in publishing and distributing materials which give the full present truth gospel, as well as supporting many full-time foreign ministers and workers around the world who have proven themselves to be reliable and stable. With their monthly support and present truth materials supplied them, these ministers and workers then have the ability to more effectively spread the spoken and printed truth, establish the people in it, and carry this precious truth into the very homes of those who sit in darkness. This is how the Loud Cry of the Third Angel will be spread, and is now being spread! If the Lord impresses you to help in these endeavors, your donations will be greatly appreciated--not just by this Ministry, but by many others as well! MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU!




MINISTRY NEEDS

     "Let There Be Light" Ministries is committed to the spreading of the full present truth gospel message worldwide, and has been doing so since 1986.  This Ministry has operating expenses covering the areas of: printing, publishing, and writing of present truth books, booklets, tracts, and other literature; DVD, video and audio taping, production, and distribution; supporting several ministers and workers in foreign Countries; mail order – both domestic and foreign; traveling to hold meetings – both locally, nationally, and internationally; answering correspondence and questions regarding the message of truth; offering National and International Bible studies; sending free present truth literature to contacts in many poor Countries; etc.
     Your gracious prayers and support is greatly appreciated and needed.  Without the Lord's guidance, blessings, and your support, this Ministry could not continue to reach out worldwide with the precious message of Revelation 14:6-12 & 18:1-5.

     May our God and Saviour continue to lead and guide all those who have helped us reach souls who sit in darkness with the precious light of gospel truth.  May our supporters remember that they share in each and every soul who has been reached by this Ministry and converted to the Lord and His present truth!


GENERAL FOREIGN MISSION WORK NEEDS

     We are currently supporting several workers in many different Countries on a monthly basis.  We check into the economy of each area and supply a base support which is adequate depending on their situation, but not extravagant.  This base support is to ensure that the monthly needs of each worker and family is met for that month so that the worker may devote full time to the ministry work.  In addition to this, we are sending extra materials for evangelism, and money for printing, publishing, holding meetings, traveling, and other necessary areas in spreading the Present Truth in their Country.  And as the work extends, especially will the expenses for evangelism expand.  Whatever you can send to help in this necessary and vital area is greatly appreciated.
     The work of spreading God's present truth is not to be limited, but must extend world-wide to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people before our Saviour can come (Matthew 24:14).  What better way of spreading the Present Truth Gospel than by having workers who speak the native language, who reside in that particular Country, who can live and preach the truth, visit the interests in their homes, and spread the printed truth translated into their native language!
     "Our publications should be printed in other languages, that foreign nations may be reached.  Much can be done through the medium of the press, but still more can be accomplished if the influence of the living preacher goes with our publications....The Lord has moved upon men of other tongues and has brought them under the influence of the truth, that they might be qualified to labor in His cause." Testimonies, vol 3, p 204-205.

     Please financially help us to continue supporting our current ministers and workers on a consistent basis, so that the spreading of the truth will not be interrupted but can quickly lighten this dark world with the glory of God.

     "Every opportunity should be improved to extend the truth to other nations.  This will be attended with considerable expense, but expense should in no case hinder the performance of this work.  Means are of value only as they are used to advance the interest of the kingdom of God.  The Lord has lent men means for this very purpose, to use in sending the truth to their fellow men."  Testimonies, vol 3, p 208.

LETTERS to "LET THERE BE LIGHT" Ministries


     I was very alarmed by what I read in your booklet titled "The World Council of Churches and the Seventh-Day Adventist Church." I was born an SDA member and to this day I believe that our founders were guided by the Holy Spirit. I believe that they held the truth about God's law and the 7th-day Sabbath. Nothing will change that view because I know that their views were well grounded in the Scriptures.
     Ellen G. White herself said that one day the SDA church as an organization would turn Catholic, so some of the recent events in our church's history do not surprise me at all. What does surprise me is how long these events have been going on and it makes me ask myself whether or not our church as an organization is still being directed by God anymore....Please tell me if someone at "Let There Be Light" Ministries can help me with this?
B.J., Internet.


     Praise God, as I view your website.  I have been blessed with the delightful sermons (which) uplift our Creator, who give these gifts to us.
     Reading from the Bible, Rev:14 talks about the Lamb on Mount Sion. Verse 4 speaks about the 144,000 - these are they which were not defiled with WOMEN - meaning Church.  Virgins - no guile in their mouth.
     I believe from the Holy Spirit, the way He has lead me, (that) the 1,44000 are not connect with any Church system .... Hallelujah.... Amen.  Rev. 18 - come out of her my people, which is part of the 3 angels’ messages.  A warning to us all to be with the Lamb.
     Wish you folks (a) Happy New Year.  I sincerely believe probation is soon too close on us.  I pray too our Lord Jesus, we will be in that Number.  Amen.
BP., NZ.


     Grace and peace servant of God, brother Robert!  Is all well with you in other sides of the world?  I'm brother ____, gladly meeting you tonight, hallelujah!

May His face smile upon you for choosing to serve Him in that simplicity.
     The kingdom of God is marching forward and gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matt 16:18). "Blessed be to the name of God our lord who is, and who was, & who is to come."  Faithfully is He who trust in Him.

Dear bro. Bob,
     Psalms 20:5.
     Amen! Praise God and happy new year to you my brother!
     Thank you very much for the Newsletter.
     Work here in Fiji is moving on and forward. I have been moving around the island to our two remaining churches and conducting studies for them. We are praising God for the ever increasing light through all the study booklets from your ministry. We are always learning something new from the study booklets each time of the visit. We have covered (studied together) The True Church; The Abomination of Desolation; The Transmutation of the 3 Angels; The Image of the Beast; Rev.18; Jeremiah;...and I tell you my brother the studies are spiritually enriching. We intend to cover all the booklets. The members get a copy each and we have managed to reprint and issue other copies to interested people. There has been requests for more copies to be printed.
     As for our former brethren, we can clearly see the amount of confusion brought in by the many winds of doctrines blowing. Part of the group are caught in the fanaticism of time setting, while the others are caught in making of none effect the Testimony.
     I am kindly requesting if you could help us with the paying of our photocopier. About $1400 has been paid with about $600 balance. Thank you for your continuous support.
     I pray that the good Lord continue to shower His many blessings upon you and the ministry.
Psalms 20:6-7, b.i, Fiji.


Dear elder,
     Let me thank you for the information contained in your last email. I read it and got great spiritual nourishment. God bless you for that.
     Please send me more messages. God be with you always.
K.M., Internet.


Dear elder Robert,
     Thank you for taking a look at the screenshot. We pray that God will use us in His time and His way of warning members that are still blinded and trapped in Babylon.
     Our daughter is amazingly doing well. We have asked God to give her back to us as she was before she got sick, but God gave her back more than expectations.
     We have changed her diet into pure vegan and tried to eliminate foods that a normal child would crave for after her surgery.
     Last year, May 2018, her MRI showed another tumor deep under where her first tumor was located and so her doctor thinks it is a residual tumor or might not have been identified in the MRI before surgery or they have not seen it during surgery, so he recommended another surgery.
     We were hesitant, we just can't accept it. A second surgery was too difficult to imagine our daughter will go through again. We just prayed harder and had tried to make our faith in Jesus' healing power stronger as He had made our daughter survive in her first surgery.
     We decided to give natural supplements daily and asked God to bless them for our daughter.
     We asked her doctor to give us 5 months and asked for another MRI before surgery.
     In October last year, we were so blessed: the MRI showed positive results that her doctor can't understand and explain why the tumor didn't grow and could even hardly tell that it had slightly shrunk.
     From then on, he's not recommending any surgery but just an MRI after 6 months. This coming April, she will have the MRI and by God's will, if the result will be good, she will have her MRI done yearly instead of every 6 months.
     Thank you for your continued prayers, God is hearing prayers from those who love Him.
S.G., Internet.


(Note: the next letters were written to other brethren, but the need is great, so I have included these with permission, and any funds donated to them will be forwarded.)

(Combination of 2 letters) Dear brother ____,
     We had a very long, loving meeting and we praise and glorified the name of our Almighty above. Thank you, thank you so much for what you have done to us. We were so much happy with the donations of the booklets and your continual prayer and support. Thank you also for supporting brother ____, we were so blessed with the teachings and the messages we got from him. God's true servants are still in this planet.
     Now brother, we came up with a good idea that we want to visit each and every village where our members are and if possible want to organize as many crusade as possible. We want God's people to hear the message so that they can decide themselves what is good they can do with their lives.
     We are praying for the following to help in spreading the word of God. - Funds for more booklets and any necessary needs. - Public Address System, as this will help us to reach even those who are far from where we are, more so on gatherings like crusade, efforts and on the Sabbaths days. - Projector and laptop, if we can get even second hand in good condition.
     We are united!  Our brethren (converts) from Muslims were so much happy that they feel part of us. God is working in a miraculous way that we can't understand, but I think He want His message to heard by many.....
     As we prepare to go outreach to evangelize, please pray for us to get what we can have to help us in missionary work. We need some finances for book printings and some necessary work. Our plan is that every month we should be doing evangelism on different towns and villages so that the message should be heard by many before our Lord Jesus Christ returns to take us home. Help to advocate to anyone who can help to do so. God will reward a cheerful giver.
     Through your help of book donation I received two families again from Islamic who want to know more about Christianity. Please, just continue to help us in prayer for this work. More prayer needed at this time. God's people are very thirsty to hear His words.
     Brothers and sisters, am still requesting that if any of you can have a spare Laptop please help us with.
     God be with you all. Hope for the best. Sent my love greetings to fellow there, we love you so much.
B.M., Kenya.


Dear brother ____,
     Hope you are doing good now and your family. By the grace of God I was invited to ____ prison last Sabbath through Sunday to give sermon to the prisoners. After sermon there were more than 8 people who want to be baptized and we will organized with the prison officer who head there to give me good time to do that.
     I just want to say thank you all for your prayers and supports to this ministry. Through your supports we have reached many face to face and even through printing.  Am still praying to get more funds to print as many copies as possible. ____ prison only needs 400 copies.  (Also) On my desk, requests for (from) Kenya has reached 6,000 copies, Tanzania is leading with 8,790 and 87 copies of Kiswahili Bibles. There is  a lot of work to be done.
     On 21/3/2019, I will be going to Tanzania for effort and again they were requesting me stay for another one week so that we can lessen the demand of evangelism over there. They also need so many copies of the booklets and some supports to help in this holy work. Our main work is to tell the world about Jesus soon to come, so that they can get prepared. Thanks so much for your continual supports and prayer.
     Am also praying for you three times a day as I usually do. God bless you so much. We love you so much! Praying to see you all with your families in Heavenly palace.
In God I Trust., B.I., Kenya.




CORRESPONDENCE FROM FOREIGN WORKERS


FROM KENYA, EAST AFRICA

Dear brother Bob,
     1 Jn. 3:1
     Happy New Year. We began the year well here with God's blessings in health and tranquillity. Yesterday we were at a planning meeting for the major events for this year as God shall see appropriate.
     Last November /December (Nov. 29-Dec. 9) was a rather busy time. We had our end year camp in ____ hosting brethren from all corners of Kenya, with visiting brothers, ____ and ____ from Uganda. We've not had a camp of that magnitude in the past, hosting more than 200 people at once! More than the number, the message was reviving and invigorating to all campers.
     After that we went to western Kenya for their end-year camp. It was also well attended. Brother ____ and sister ____ joined us from Uganda. All was well and we praise God for all His blessings. We now look forward to even greater ventures as Providence opens ways and means.
     "Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth. " 1Chr. 16:31.

FROM PAPUA NEW GUINEA

Dearest Bob,
     ____ is one of the provinces I have been ministering (to) since from 1998. ____....have many lengthy sea-side villages and also into the far remote and swampy villages. And most of the people are living up into the high mountain villages....
     The province is dominated by Catholics at the early stage....But by surprise, Charismatic Revivals and Cultic Revivals are conquering the entire province from 2005, and it became a fast growing movement....65% of the entire people including Christians are strongly believing and involving into cult practices. While some have appoint their own jesus named; Black Jesus and introducing the Naked Worship system in the churches, trying to imitating the early life-style of Eve & Adam before the fall, and many, many (other) evil practices.
     In the past years during my missionary trip and visitation, I have been traveling on bare foot visiting those villages with two of my closest, committed and faithful missionaries; one has died three years ago and (now I am) left with the other one.
     We have establishing a number of churches, conducting evangelistic programs and laymen training classes, hosting big Loud Cry camps and baptisms.
     In 1999 I discover the place (within a cultic society) and the 2 couples with a baby. I started given Bible studies till they accept the truth and after few months, both couple decided to build a shelter for worship. And that was my advice encouraging them to expose the truth which both couple has accepted. With no hesitation they started erecting a small church and faithfully and continue worshiping though their own relatives and others are reluctant to partake with them.  
     But unfortunately I left the province in 2008 to stay closer with the administrative (areas) and took the overall coordination (of the) work and publication/translation work in the head office.
     After some years later I was invited again to run an evangelistic meeting where I first begin my missionary work in the inland part of the ____ province.
     On the evening of the Sunday 23rd November 2018, we were surprised to see huge number of church folks, both young and old standing, smiling and welcoming us upon our arrival at the church/meeting area.  
     Camp-site was well prepared as well as the entire church and community for the program to start off. Meeting begins well with power point presentation at night and end with many blessings. Health Message and the Family Restoration studies taken in the morning by Missionaries. Bibles and other Pidgin booklets were given out at night after the main studies.
     The entire church requests (appeals) is all about (this): Our daily prayers to keep them rooted in the Lord, despite of cult practices in the surrounding communities; Ask for the Tok Pidgin Bibles, as 70% of the church folks read in Tok Pidgins.  (Also for) the Open Air Crusade in...2019.
     Monday 07th January 2019 has known to be a Black Monday for the entire Oyanaga ___ Church members and leaders. Not one single member took their belongings away in the tribal fight that triggered without any signal or notice, all escaped and run for their life with fear and trembling, fleeing to the other villages for the safety.
     They lost everything and become a homeless and fugitives. The neighbouring communities and Christian churches started to donate used clothing, blankets and providing accommodation. There is a huge challenge to start a new life all over again.
     From 357 houses, 165 homes are for our Oyanaga church brethren and all burnt to ashes. I am struggling to take the pictures to prove, but enemies were camped up and strictly watching over the remaining properties so we cannot afford to move in and take the pictures.
     I am kindly appealing to all our beloveth church members for your kind and sympathy in helping our affected beloveds here in Papua New Guinea....Two weeks ago the SDA conference churches with other denominations have come in with aid of clothing and house kits.
     The most important and urgent needs for the church leaders and workers from Oyanaga church is: Bibles and the SOP books to replace from burnt.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES

(Combination of 2 letters) Dear Bro Bob, 3 John 2.
     Hi! Bro Bob happy new year! how are you? We pray that you are still strong and healthy with the help of God.
     Brother bob i’m sorry, we'd been busy these past months and was not able to write you. Anyway just a brief testimonies of hows the progress of the work of the Lord here.
     From December, we continue doing house to house Bible study, tracts giving, visitation and giving lectures on health. Last December, we went to ____ for the call to work and labor there and they were blessed by our labor through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. On Dec 26-29, we held our mini camp meeting in ____, ____. During our camp meeting, the storm came, a very strong wind and tremendous outpouring of rain. We evacuate from our tent and went to the houses of our brethren that's near. And there we all stay and continue our worships and studies together. It was really a different camp meeting experience, but all still went home blessed. But sad to say that as we go home, some of the houses of the brethren and our church where we worship every Sabbath were flooded by water during the storm. A lot of things and appliances were damaged, but thank God that our lives are saved by our God.
     This January, every Sabbath we visited our brethren in every home churches giving them encouragement. And during week days, we continue our labor with those who are still in darkness through house to house labor and tracts distribution. We are now visiting some who showed interest, and we have a regular Bible study with them. Others want now to observe Sabbath.
     Also bro bob, we organized our young people who are composed of 20 young people to plan and to help us in our work. We started it already and we hope that it will continue and will be a big help to the cause of God to progress. We are encouraging also all our brethren of mature age to help to lift the burden of soul saving that through the help of God the work will be finished and Jesus will come quickly. Please continue to pray for our work here....
     We too are doing fine, though I wasn't able to walk for more than a week, but thank the Lord that I am getting better now. There's a sudden numbness and pain in my right leg that I didn't know the cause that caused me not to walk. I went to the doctor and the doctor said that I need to undergo MRI to know my problem. But it is expensive to undergo MRI, so I apply for the mean time the natural way, like hot and cold fomentation and poultices, and thank God that I can walk now. Although not yet fully recovered and there's still a pain, but I can move and walk gradually now. I thank the Lord for healing me and for blessing the simple remedies that He provides.
     Bro bob, you know we've been so busy these past few months with our work here, that sometimes we abused our self, that's why I get sick. And I repented it to the Lord. But we are so happy with what we did for the Lord. You know bro Bob, we just continue with what we are doing. Every Sunday, we gather and teach all our young people here that they may be acquainted with our doctrines, that when they go out for house to house they will have the knowledge to share to the people. The study took only 1 hour and after that we will go out for house to house, giving Bible study and pamphlets to the people, or sometimes we visited some brethren who are sick both physically and spiritually, singing song to them and encouraging them to continue serving the Lord. Often times we will go home late already. Every Monday and Thursday, we also do house to house work and tracts distribution, this time with the brethren or the members of our church here locally. It is really a blessing because our members participate and help us in our work.
     During every Tuesday and Friday, we went to every ____ for our medical mission. We give health lectures, short gospel messages and health counseling with regards to every disease with accordance to the simple remedies and treatments that the Lord provides. Every Sabbath, we went to our different home churches here to visit, strengthen and encouraged our brothers and sisters in the faith. And not only that, sometimes there's a calling for us in new places, that call us esp for opening new field of labor that we need to attend to. In addition to that bro bob, because of all these work, it also added work for us because there's an awakening of interest with the people and we need to give follow ups to those interested. Bro Bob please continue to pray for us that we may be strong physically and spiritually, so that may continue do the work faithfully with His help.
     In addition to this, because of our work in the lines of medical missionary, the Lord is opening a providence for us and showing us that we need to put up a vegetarian restaurant and a treatment room, or a mini sanitarium because people are coming and looking for vegetarian dishes and a clinic where they can get healing. Please bro Bob pray for our work here and for His plan. We will just step (forward) and wait for His providences to open.
     “Medical missionary work is the pioneer work of the gospel, the door through which the truth for this time is to find entrance to many homes. God’s people are to be genuine medical missionaries, for they are to learn to minister to the needs of both soul and body...Many will be reached who otherwise never would have heard the gospel message. A demonstration of the principles of health reform will do much toward removing prejudice against our evangelical work. The Great Physician, the originator of medical missionary work, will bless all who thus seek to impart the truth for this time.” Counsels on Health, p 497.

     “In every city where we have a church, there is need of a place where treatment can be given. Among the homes of our church members there are few that afford room and facilities for the proper care of the sick. A place should be provided where treatment may be given for common ailments. The building might be inelegant and even rude, but it should be furnished with facilities for giving simple treatments. These, skillfully employed, would prove a blessing, not only to our own people, but to their neighbors, and might be the means of calling the attention of many to health principles.
     “It is the Lord’s purpose that in every part of our world health institutions shall be established as a branch of the gospel work....” Counsels on Health, p 309.

     “Establishing an institution for the benefit of the sick, especially for the suffering and sick among us. I have spoken of the ability of our people, in point of means, to do this; and have urged that, in view of the importance of this branch of the great work of preparation to meet the Lord with gladness of heart, our people should feel themselves called upon, according to their ability, to put a portion of their means into such an institution.” Testimonies, vol 1, p 633.

     Bro Bob, please help us and include all our plans in your prayers that we may do it according to His will. The Lord has provided us already a land where we can use it in establishing an institution.
     “Slowly but surely the wheel of Providence is turning. We know not how soon our Lord will say: ‘It is done.’ His coming is drawing nigh. Soon our opportunities for work will be forever past. Only a little while longer shall we be permitted to labor. My brethren, will you not strive with earnest effort to establish memorials for God throughout the Southern States? Churches should be raised up; houses of worship should be built; small schools and sanitariums should be established; and the publishing interests should be strengthened.” Publishing Ministry, p 91.

     Till here for now bro Bob. May God continue to use us in His work in this short period of time and may He find us faithful.
Your sister in Christ, s.b., Philippines.


FROM UGANDA, EAST AFRICA

Dear Elder Sessler.
     Christian greetings from Uganda. By His compassions and mercies the Lord hath brought us to 2019. We want to believe His goodness this year, His coming is drawing much nearest than the previous years.
     Last year around December from 16 to 23 /2018 converged for camp meeting in western Kenya.  The subjects covered were Spiritism; Herbal/Alternative Treatment's; Sabbath Reform; SDA in Prophetic Parallel; the Abomination of Desolation; the New Standard/Logo of the SDA Church; Character of God; and Gospel.
     It was blessing (and) one person was baptized.  There after we had Lord's supper.  The turn up was not that very good due to transport laws enforced during Christmas days. Irrespective of all the limitations, three souls from SDA Church made their decisions to come out from Babylon fallen. O!! what jovial moment's it was like the opening of eye's to the blind.
     Brothers, just like I wrote sometime back about helping in repairing spoiled borehole, we still need that help. I write asking for support to circulate or send out the silent messengers (tract's). Bibles and Spirit of Prophecy materials are needed for those who have believed the truth.
     Thanks for your support, prayers and love for the Gospel to get to every living creature around global.
Yours in Christ Jesus, B.K., Uganda.


FROM ZAMBIA, CENTRAL AFRICA

Dear Elder Bob,
     It is a great pleasure and love to hear from you on the issue of wanting to know about completion of the herbal clinic.
     I want to apologies for the delay in answering or communicating to you. This is because I have been very busy moving up and down...
     The herbal clinic construction program is soon to finish on roofing and blustering will follow up in a short time (and) it will be done.  It delayed a bit cause I was out, cause I need to monitor work. I will send pictures after this is whole done. We are almost in the middle of the rain season and it is raining everyday, so we are doing the work with a lot of patience. I really appreciate your concerns and thank you for your prayers for my health, am doing better and moving long distances.
     Elder Bob I also want to report to you on the missionary work progress which we started last year with br. ____ on reprinting of booklets and also distributing the very materials within and outside this country. So far so good, these materials has reached many people and we have a very high demand of these booklets especially, Separation - (parts) One and Two are the most needed by most of the Adventists. Henceforth, we need to continue reprinting more since we are even receiving requests of the same booklets or materials from our neighbouring countries especially from Malawi, Zimbabwe and Namibia.
     Elder Bob, we are still requesting for the support on this project from the brethren THROUGH YOU AS OUR MAJOR SUPPORTER. PLEASE MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS LET THERE BE LIGHT MINISTRY AND YOU ABUNDANTLY, ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR AS AM ALSO WILLING TO WORK TIRELESSLY. The Lord kept and saved my life so that I should do the last works before the door closes. Please thank you for your prayers, and love you have for me.

     Once again I am pleased to meet you in this time of the year-when 2018 has since closed and 2019 has just begun. I hope I find you well my brother....
     The campmeeting went on as scheduled (on 12-19 August)...
     It was in November 2018 when most active efforts were put (forth) to set up a home church branch in ____. I have labored in this district from that time until now. We have since gathered 12 souls and we are in the process of nurturing them.
