Scenario  of  Events  in  These  Last  Days,  part  12 (final)

     Last time we examined Event #30, and discovered that the Redeemed will be able to enjoy, explore and learn about all of creation on the new earth, as well as all of God’s entire universe, and this universe is vast.
     We learned that each star is separated from one another by more than 1 parsec - which is 3.25 light years, or 19 trillion miles.  All these stars are grouped together in their own particular galaxy, and each galaxy is made up on average of 100 billion stars.  Astronomers estimate each galaxy to be separated from each other by more than 3.25 million light years, which is 19 quintillion miles (that’s 19,000,000,000,000,000,000), and there are estimated to be about 2 trillion galaxies out there.

     We then saw that the Bible states that God has created other worlds which have intelligent beings dwelling on them like on earth, and it was God’s propose for these other created worlds and their intelligent inhabitants to have their own particular place to dwell in this vast celestial expanse of space.  This means that it is highly probable that these other inhabited worlds are each located in their own particular galaxy, and God chose the galaxy which we call the Milky Way to create us and the world we live in.

     We then amazingly learned that sister White was given a vision wherein she was able to visit 2 different inhabited worlds.  She saw the inhabitants of one were of all different sizes; they were noble, majestic, and lovely.  They all bore the express image of Jesus, and their countenances beamed with holy joy, expressive of the freedom and happiness of their world.  The second world she was taken to had seven moons, and she saw and talked with good old Enoch who was also visiting this world.

     Then we understood that If just 1/1000 of 1 percent of these 2 trillion galaxies contained inhabited worlds, then there would be 20 million inhabited worlds in the universe of God!  But how ever many inhabited worlds there are, they all can be visited and explored by the Redeemed.  And to realize that through ceaseless ages we will all advance in wisdom, in knowledge, and in holiness, ever exploring new fields of thought, ever finding new wonders and new glories, ever increasing in capacity to know and to enjoy and to love, and knowing that there is still beyond us joy and love and wisdom infinite!  Truly,
     “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.


     Now throughout this 12 part series we have seen and investigated into 30 different sequential events beginning just before the Sunday Law and all the way into eternity.  But lets quickly review each of these 30 events in order.

#1 – The Latter Rain falls and the Loud Cry message goes forth before the Sunday Law is passed.

#2 – Major calamities fill the land and are viewed as judgments from God because Sunday is not kept holy.

#3 – People cry out for Sunday laws.

#4 – Secular Sunday Legislation locally passed or enforced in various Countries, States, Districts and Cities.

#5 – Evil spirits appear, miracles are performed, and people are told to obey the Sunday Laws and to keep Sunday holy.

#6 – Calamities increase, become more intense, and blame is cast upon Sabbath-keepers.

#7 – National Law is passed to keep only Sunday holy and is enforced in measure.

#8 – Satan appears personating Christ.

#9 – Sunday Laws become universal or world-wide.

#10 – No buying or selling without the Mark of the Beast.

#11 – Local Death Decrees are issued.

#12 – Every person’s decision is made on whom to worship, they will receive either the seal of the living God or the Mark of the Beast, and the number of the 144,000 is made up.

#13 – Christ finishes His intercessory work in the Most Holy Place of the Heavenly Sanctuary, and probation for world closes.

#14 – Tinkling of bells is heard; God’s commandment keeping people cease witnessing and flee for their lives; darkness covers the earth and the Time of Jacob’s Trouble begins.

#15 – Christ confesses forgiven sins on Satan’s head, puts on garments of vengeance, leaves the Heavenly Sanctuary and then leaves heaven.

#16 – The 4 angels let loose the winds of strife and the 7 last plagues begin to fall.

#17 – The plagues fall in succession, but the first 6 plagues are not universal; the Universal Death Decree is issued, and angels protect 144,000 from death.

#18 – The 7th plague begins, God delivers His 144,000 saints with His own voice at midnight; the special resurrection occurs of specific righteous and wicked people; and the Synagogue of Satan worships at the saint’s feet.

#19 – The 7th plague closes with Christ’s second coming, the righteous dead raised, the wicked destroyed, and all the righteous being taken to heaven.

#20 – 1000 year Millennium begins where the righteous enter heaven and briefly view some of its glories, then begin reviewing the record books of the wicked, while Satan is bound on the desolate earth.

#21 – After the 1000 years are over, Christ, the saints and the New Jerusalem descend to earth; Satan is loosed from prison and the wicked dead are resurrected.

#22 – Satan musters the vast amount of the wicked into a massive army, and then surrounds the City of God and the saints.

#23 – Jesus Christ is enthroned; the wicked receive their sentence of death; a panoramic view of the great controversy and plan of salvation is witnessed in the sky above God’s throne, and then all proclaim that God is just and righteous in all His ways.

#24 – Satan is fully unmasked; all the wicked realize that they have been deceived, and they refuse to follow him any further.

#25 – The Lake of Fire is created, and all wicked, including Satan, will be cast into it and forever burned up to ashes, and sin will never rise up again.

#26 – The memory of sin, sinners and the former wicked earth is erased from the minds of the Redeemed, and God recreates the earth and heaven anew.

#27 – God and His kingdom and City of the New Jerusalem forever dwells on the new earth; and Christ then serves the marriage supper to all the redeemed.

#28 – Redeemed saints enjoy the beauties of the new earth, and even though each has a mansion Christ has personally built just for them, yet each will also build homes on their own piece of land on the new earth.

#29 – The 144,000 minister before God and Christ in the heavenly sanctuary on Mount Zion, and forever follow the Lamb withersoever He goeth.

#30 – The Redeemed will not only be able to enjoy, explore and learn about all of creation on the new earth, but they will also be able to explore God’s entire universe, travel to other inhabited worlds, converse with its citizens, and will ever be discovering more about God’s righteous character and His infinite love.


     Now what are God's people today supposed to be doing during this time just before probation closes for the world, and the plagues of God are poured out? They are supposed to be heralding the last precious message of mercy and Loud Cry found in Revelation 14 and 18--calling people away from being united with Lucifer and away from belonging to his Babylonish churches and organizations, in order to be one with God through Christ's righteousness! This of course will enrage all the followers of Satan.
     As the Loud Cry spreads and more and more precious souls leave Babylon or choose to oppose this truth, then Sunday legislation will occur, and Lucifer will then come personating Jesus Christ. When he does personate the Lord of the Sabbath or Jesus, Satan--being the lord of the first day of the week--will present his spurious Sunday-sabbath as a test of loyalty to him and command all the world to obey. Thus all of humanity will be forced to either accept or reject Sunday as the sabbath!

     But in obeying the commandment to worship on Sunday instead of Saturday, you would be showing 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 do not necessarily believe in it, but will go along with it anyway. In refusing to obey the commandment of Lucifer to worship only on Sunday, and instead worshiping God only on Saturday, you would show 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 Jesus returned to the earth! Thus you, along with other faithful people of God, will be exposed and then targeted for destruction.

     Every single person of the earth will be brought to decide for Lucifer and his spurious sabbath, or for the God of Heaven and His true Sabbath. And compromise will be impossible--it is an either/or decision!  And the 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 Catholicism, as well as the Government, the New Age, the One World Religion, the New World Order and Lucifer are all saying basically the same thing – that you go along with the Plan and keep Sunday holy, and no one will be allowed to compromise to avoid the consequences!

     When the great deception of Lucifer personating Jesus Christ occurs, and the Sunday law becomes universal, God's people will be commanded to worship this "supreme being of dazzeling brightness," and what are they going to have to do? They will have to stand up for the real Christ and His truth, and tell the others that when Jesus Christ--the Living Son of God--comes the second time, it will be with power and great glory, with ten thousand times ten thousands of angels; and every person around the world will see Him come at the same time (see Matthew 24:30-31; Jude 14-15; Revelation 5:11, 1:7). They will also proclaim that this being personating Jesus cannot be the real Christ returned to the earth the second time, but must be Lucifer or Satan or the Devil--the foe of God and man's worst enemy!
     When God's people proclaim that this "supreme being" whom the majority of the world is worshiping and following as Jesus, is really Satan--the enemy of God and man, a few will listen, but the majority will become incensed and enraged, and with furious zeal they will hunt down and persecute God's people. But why will they hunt down those people of God which have told them the truth?
     "...because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved....for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12.

     These tremendous scenes and severely trying times are just before us. And please do not believe that God will "rapture" His people out of the world before all these troublous and trying times occur. This is because the Bible states that the second coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will not occur until after Satan works his wonders.
     "...then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming: even Him [Jesus], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness". 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10.

     “Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” Revelation 3:10-11.

     Since the coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is not until after Satan is revealed and Christ promises to keep His people from giving in to this great deception, then what should God's people be doing NOW to prepare themselves for this time of fiery trial and tests?  Shouldn't we now be overcoming every sin and praying for God to reveal the sins registered against our names in the record books of heaven--so that we can recognize these, ask forgiveness and then forsake these sins?  Shouldn't we now be striving to learn all the precious truth of God's word, getting it riveted in our memories and practicing the truths that we are privileged to hear and learn? Shouldn't we now be putting away all petty differences between us, stopping all the backbiting, all the rumors, everything that is keeping us from working together with God's true people in order to finish His work? And shouldn't we now be spreading the last message of mercy--the Loud Cry of the 3rd angel of Revelation 14 & 18--with all the strength which God has given us in proclaiming the fall of Babylon and calling His true and honest people to come out from all the corrupt churches?
     In these trying times just before all breaks loose, do not look to any of the established churches to stand up for God and proclaim His truth, because they are already fallen from God’s grace and are instead standing up for Satan. And do not expect any church to expose Lucifer as the false Christ when he appears personating Christ, because they all--especially the Seventh-day Adventist church--have sold out to the Devil!
     In 1970, the SDA church put out a book titled, Man the World Needs Most, by Arthur S. Maxwell. It was made the "Missionary Book of the Year," and was sent or passed out free by the hundreds of thousands.
     This book states that: All the problems of the world will be solved when a "new world leader" comes to give this world "a brand new start" (p 12, 14, 35, 69). That this "new world leader" would be "king" over all the earth (p 58), and everyone on the earth will cheer "at His coronation" (p 60). This "new world leader" will empty "hospitals and convalescent homes" by healing the people with "His touch," (p 78) and will "somehow" make people believe that they are immortal (p  81).  This "new world leader" will solve all unemployment on earth by giving everyone "full employment" in his "new regime" (p 82-83) by the "establishment of His kingdom" on the earth (p 83-84) and will take "over the government of mankind" (p 96). This "new world leader" will not allow any "protest" to his designs and plans (p 83-84) in bringing "in the glorious years of eternity!" (p 96).
     Now who do we know this "new world leader" to be as described in what I just read?  It is Lucifer personating Jesus Christ come back to earth the second time. But who does the Adventist church state this "new world leader" to be?
     "Even so, come, Lord Jesus!" Man the World Needs Most, p 96, by Arthur S. Maxwell.

     So who is the Adventist church setting up its membership as well as the whole world to accept as Jesus Christ returned to earth? Lucifer--the "shining one"--the "new world leader."

     The Seventh-day Adventist church, along with all the other churches, have replaced the teachings of God's Word with the ancient Mysteries of Babylon. They have sold their birthrights in order to become part of this satanic New World Religion and New World Order. And they will also play a major role in its establishment as part of the Image of the Beast!
     Therefore do not look to any established church of today to fight the battles of the Lord, because they have all changed leaders and are fighting the battles of Lucifer. They have accepted the great lie, and are busy preparing their congregations and the world to accept Lucifer as Jesus!

     What do you expect the Image of the Beast to do? Exactly what they are doing. And if church members cannot even realize the simple fact that their own church is plainly not following God, but is clearly and decidedly following Lucifer, then how do you think they will be able to discern the grand deceptions and delusions of Satan in the future? How do you think they will be able to stand against the severe trials and extreme pressures soon to hit them, if they cannot even endure the trial and pressure of having to separate from their corrupt and apostate church? They will not be able to!
     That is why God, in His infinite love and mercy, is revealing the abominations and sins of the Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Adventist, Mormon, Jehovah Witness, and all the other churches, so that His people can see what is really going on, withdraw themselves from all these corrupt churches and from man's rule, and learn to solely depend and trust on Jesus "without the camp," as God tells us in Hebrews 13:12-13 and Revelation 18:1-5.
     This is also why our Infinite loving and merciful God is revealing the abominations and sins of the world so that His people can see these, withdraw themselves from connection with the attractions and corruptions of the world, and learn to depend upon Jesus and follow Him as God tells us in John 15:18-19, 17:14-16, and 1 John 2:15-17.
     If we do not now learn to follow Jesus solely, how do you expect to know how to follow Him later when things get worse? And how many people will give in and follow the great lie of Lucifer and his Plan of One World? Nearly the whole human race! Only a small remnant of people will not succumb to the extreme pressures, and will refuse to give up God and His truth (see Revelation 12:17; 1 Peter 4:18; Matthew 7:13-14; Revelation 22:11-14). Only a few will refuse to accept this great Luciferic lie, and only these will tenaciously hold 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 raised from their graves, will be able to spend eternity with God, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit on the earth made new without sin and its curse ever rising again, as their glorious reward (see Revelation 15:2-3, 21:1-27, 22:1-5)!

     But if we do not begin to spread God's truth now, 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, then someone must be left in that darkness through our neglect!

     Dear ones, will you be able to stand? Lies and falsehood will 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?  Friends and relatives will 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 (see Luke 21:16-19; Matthew 10:17-22). Will you be able to stand?  You will encounter sneers, difficulties, your words and faith will be misrepresented, you will be reviled and persecuted, have to endure coldness and contempt, and the threat of death or even death itself.  Will you be able to stand?  If your feet are firmly planted upon the unshakable platform of eternal truth--the ROCK Christ Jesus–you will be able to stand and not fall during this time of universal rebellion against God and His truth.

     The New World Order with Lucifer as its god will appear to succeed for a while. Thus God's little band of faithful people will appear certain to fall. But they will not fall; they will remain. Only those who refuse to stand upon God's firm platform of truth, refusing the Lord Jesus and His Sabbath day, will be shaken off--or sifted out of Zion--and they will fall and lose eternal life.
     "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
     "And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it" Matthew 7:24-27.


     Now I reveal these things to show you some of what is really facing God's people, and also to show you our extreme need of Jesus. Our extreme need of His saving grace. Our extreme need of His precious robe of righteousness covering our nakedness, and of His word being written in our hearts and minds. Our extreme need of our feet being firmly and unshakably planted on the Rock Christ Jesus and His 10 commandments. Our extreme need of having the whole armor of God upon us, and the joy of His salvation invigorating us. Our extreme need of His precious message of mercy being always in our mouths. And our extreme need of the Holy Spirit filling us with holy zeal to revive the living testimony, and to lead us forward in this battle of the Lord against the mighty.  This battle will not be easy, but with God and His truth at our side and in our hearts all things are possible!
     “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13.

     “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” Mark 9:23.

     “The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations”. 2 Peter 2:9.

     “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.
     I hope you have been able to see and understand that Lucifer has everything already prepared, just waiting for permission so that it can burst forth with fury upon all peoples in every nation of this world. But only those who keep and hold fast to God and His truth, and who endure till the end, "shall be saved."
     “...hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” Hebrews 3:6.

     “...he that endureth to the end shall be saved.  Matthew 10:22.


     May God help us all to know the truth for ourselves and to keep it, to know our duty and to do it, and to prepare now, for the time of trouble such as never was is only going to continue growing worse and more intense until the end occurs.
     “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.” Revelation 22:20-21.

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.

     I thank the Lord that you are here to give the message in such a time as this. I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to help the ministry, or if there was anything that you needed help with, that I could invest some of my time into. The Spirit impressed me to ask, dear Elder.
     I always look forward to the beautiful sermons you always give. They have brought me so much closer to God. Praise the Lord indeed!
M.C.. CA.


     Brother, we have never met; tried to meet you once on a Sabbath in the Medford area I think but you were not there that day. Not sure how you got my email, but it has been along time since I heard out of you.  I did get your Newsletter last month for the first time and was glad to hear that you are still alive and well. I am actually writing you from Mexico and have been (here) for years now.
     I, from time to time, still find myself in Oregon. Sold our farm in Oregon last year and bought one in Mexico and trying to get ready for the end.  We have been bringing semi loads of Great Controversies into Mexico for sometime now and many are working to get that book into people’s hands...Many people are reading this book and enjoying the information.
     I have not had time to read your Newsletters yet, just have been busy, but thought I would let you know a little.
     We are happy to have a part in warning and encouraging people to read and get ready for the Lord’s soon return. Keep your courage up.
Your servant in Christ, K.H., Mexico.


(Combination of 2 letters) Greetings elder Robert,
     I just want to appreciate (since) I accessed some booklets from your ministry website and they have helped me much in my presentations recently....
     I write to acknowledge receipt of some tracts sealed in an envelope.  Thank you so much for sending me these materials which have arrived at a very right time. I am starting Revival Week from 9th to 15th February at ____, the biggest SDA church in membership in Eastern region of Malawi.
     Therefore, I have seen God giving me (through you) the message to preach. These tracts will be of much use to me during and after these meetings.
     Let me comment on the tract titled "Is Your SDA Church Babylon", as I am writing to you now, our conference president, Executive secretary and Personal Ministries Director have been suspended on corruption allegations. Surely the Church is quickly becoming Babylon and very unfortunate that most people don't know that, as rightly put in your other tract, the true church of God is NOT an institution, but people who have separated themselves from Babylon.
     That being said, I have prayerfully studied the tracts and as soon as I finished studying one, some ambitious project came in my mind, a project of translating them into our vernacular language so that they can be distributed to communities including members of SDA church which is more of Babylon now. Unfortunately, this is a project that may require more financial resources.
     All in all, I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING.  Please let's keep in touch.  
Jude 1:20-21, T.J., Malawi.


Dear Elder Robert,
     Thanks so much for July - September, 2019 Newsletter which is full of hope and truth.
Yours in the blessed hope, B.J., Internet.



     Thank you, but here at ____ Tanzania there's no religion liberty.  I'm nearing death now (because) SDAs joined with other denominations including pagans in order to kill me. Pray for me that I may escape their trick....
Brother from Tanzania.


     Special Christian greetings to each one of you in the precious Name of Jesus. I send warm Christian greetings to all our dear brethren who are supporting LET THERE BE LIGHT MINISTRIES. Let us give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good and His mercy endureth forever! I want to thank first the Lord Almighty God for His unmeasurable love, mercy, assistance, and support we are receiving from the LET THERE BE LIGHT MINISTRIES.
     God through you has helped us to put smiles on the faces of lost souls who are in much need of the materials, especially Bibles and Spirit of Prophecy books. I wish to express our undying gratitude to all the brethren who are making GOD'S work here go much easier. May God through the Holy Spirit continue to replenish the sources from where the support coming.
     Dear Elder Robert Sessler, I want to let you know that 12 ROMAN CATHOLICS have joined us, including one priest and a Sister. Please pray for me here as I am receiving several attacks.
     Dear Saints, I am here humbly requesting crying to you if you can send us Bibles and Spirit of Prophecy books...as you can afford. I humbly thank you in advance.
     Dear Elder Robert Sessler, God has given to every man his work. Let us each wait, and He will teach us how to work and what work we are best adapted to perform...The workers should be harmony with the truth and with their brethren. There should be counsel and co-operation...Look not to man for guidance, but to the God of Israel. The work which the church failed to do in a time of peace and prosperity she will have to do in a terrible crisis under most discouraging, forbidding circumstances.
     I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank very much for the tremendous job you are doing here...please never give up and very soon you will be rewarded. Amen. God bless you all.
REV14-REV18; ISAIAH58:1, E.C., Zambia.


     Thank you so much. I have been checking often to see when the new Newsletter would come out. I appreciate your letting me know. God bless you.
L.J., Internet.


     Good morning and happy Sabbath.
     This is absolutely beautiful (Event #30) and I'm always amazed thinking about the fact that man will actually get to witness creation.
     Say my brother ____ is looking for a quote where it says that a pastor should not be in the pulpit who eats meat. I thought I remembered reading that too at one point, but I can't find it....If you happen to have it top of mind, would you mind sending? (Editor’s Note: sent several quotes along that topic).
Thank You, J.D., Internet.




CORRESPONDENCE FROM FOREIGN WORKERS


FROM KENYA, EAST AFRICA

(Combination of 4 letters) Good morning. We are now in the second week of this evangelistic effort here in ____. We need much of prayers as we are surrounded by dense darkness of popery and local superstition....
     I hope you've had a blessed Sabbath. We too. We had a congregation of 14 souls, 3 of whom were baptized yesterday, and two visitors. This marked the beginning of a new centre here. Prop them up with your prayers with us....
     Praise God we finished our camp well and left on 15th December. It was quite a spiritual re-
awakening Camp with special emphasis on righteousness by faith. Brethren ____ and ____ with some other two joined us from Uganda. At the end of it three souls made decision for Christ and buried in Him in baptism. Glory to God for all His bounteous grace.
     With all the good news, the enemy had other things. Last week on Thursday, a brother by name ____ had a motor bike accident, and he sustained a left humerus fracture. To this day, he's still in pains awaiting procedural approval for an operation, courtesy of red tape bureaucracy in the insurance cover. We're hoping for God's intervention that he may get assistance....
     We are fine here, but the dreaded virus has been diagnosed with three people already. Because of that the government has acted by closing down schools, suspended all public gatherings including political, religious, weddings, even funerals; that includes worship meetings. This in attempt to curb further spread of the virus. This might extend to complete lock down should the situation escalate. For this reason, all our public efforts scheduled starting this week have been suspended.  We understand that this might be more than we see; pray for and with us that the will of the Lord might all the same be fulfilled.
     Thanks and God bless you.
Isa. 4:5-6, B.I., Kenya.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES

(Combination of 8 letters) Dear brother Bob,
     3 John 2.
     Hello! Bro Bob how are you? I pray that you are fine and still strong through the grace and mercy of our loving God. Thanking God also for His loving mercy toward us, for His continues guidance and protection, for the health and life, and for keeping us more stronger in the faith as the trials are more stronger now. Thank God for His help and power to overcome all this trials and temptations. The Lord is so good to us every moment.
     Brother Bob, we are still doing the work that God has entrusted to us through His guidance and help. As of now, we have been busy sharing and giving Bible studies to our neighbors here because they are now open to hear and accept the truth. Several of them are now attending Sabbath with us, and we are planning to established and built a new house of God here in front of our house. Also every Sabbath a lot of children are coming here in our house and we are teaching them songs and stories and train them for the Lord.
     Also, we've been busy doing house to house visitation, giving Bibles study, doing medical missionary work and I have attending some invitations to be a speaker in other churches here for a regular scheduled..Last month of August, our sister in the faith, she is just a new member, a 74 year old, was hospitalized, and was detected and diagnosed by the doctor to have a stage 4 liver cancer. She just stayed from the hospital several days and the doctor said to the relatives that they have nothing to do with her case anymore but to send her home and said that she is dying. She has a jaundice, she pee and vomiting blood already. This old sister wants to stayed with us here in our house.  She wants me to take care of her and help her in natural way. With a whole heart, we accepted her here with us. By asking knowledge from above the Lord taught us what to do, by staying here, for few days, there's little improvement in her condition that’s good for her. The peeing and vomiting of blood stop, and back to normal, and her color started to become brown. For more than a week, we saw how God bless and give power to the natural remedies we used for her. For more than a week, we took care of her, and after she feels a little better, she went home. We are hoping that she will continue to do what we did when she were here. And if it is God's will to bring here into health again, glory to Him, but if it will be for the good of our sister to let her rest, God's will be done. May God's name be always glorify!
     Brother Bob, please continue to pray for us here. We are praying and planning to bring back the vegetarian restaurant that we have before. By the help of God I have already established our name to our customer and because a lot of our established customers before are looking for us especially those several doctors here. In many ways it will be a big help for the ministry: first - it will open a way for us to reach other people and to be light to those in darkness through medical missionary and health reform.  Second - it will be a source of livelihood especially to our young people that depend on us. And maybe it will open other doors for us to work to for example for our sanitarium. You know brother bob, we are selling our house and lot now, and if it is God's will to send us buyer, we will used it to open a/our restaurant. But if not, maybe God has better plan for us. We submit all our plans to His, for He better know than us. Please include us in all your prayers....

     I thank the Lord for all His goodness toward us and for providing our ministry needs that we may continue the work that we are doing for the advancement of His cause. Brother Bob, we are planning to buy a printer that are more heavy duty and can print more easily without getting overheat, but are less expensive than copier or Rizograph. We have canvass already and we found one, its Epson WF 6091....I prefer to buy it here for warranty purposes, because whatever happens at least we can easily bring it back to the store. We have 15,000 pesos already here in hand. We are praying that the Lord will send additional funds so that we can buy the printer that we need. We will use that printer to print our tracts and booklet or books, for our house to house work and tracts distribution, since it is really much more expensive to print tracts outside and we always need tracts and books in our work. Please help us pray for this. (Editor’s Note: the Lord allowed us to send $350 USD for the printer)....
     We praise and thank God for His immediate answer to our prayer. He is so really good and gracious. Thank you so much our dear brother for being always there ready to help and support us especially in our work for God. May our loving God showers you with so much blessings that He may continue to use you as instrument in His cause. Please continue to pray for our work here that we may do it faithfully for our Master and may win many souls for Him and may glorify His exalted name. God bless you brother!...

     We just arrived home from our mini camp meeting that we held in the farm place of our brother in ____. We held it for 4 days. During this camp, we incorporated not only studying Biblical prophecies but we also did farming activities, like gardening, planting trees and vegetables, and also harvesting. It is really very refreshing both to our physical and spiritual.
     Also brother Bob, we already bought a printer that we need. Thank God and to you for helping us to buy this printer, so that we can print as much tracts as we need for our missionary effort. Please continue to pray for all our work here that we may do it faithfully and that many souls will be restore to God for the glory of our Lord....

     We were so busy with our work here for this past months especially this December. We are faithfully doing our work as workers for Christ who will give an account to Him and through Him. With the guidance and help of God, we visited some who showed interest for Bible studies, those that are sick and unfortunate, and help them in whatever way we can to lightened their burden and show them the way to Jesus who will help them the most. We also went to the hospital once a week and visited the sick there, comforting and strengthening them by giving them some help and words of inspiration from God's word and leaving them some pamphlets and tracts for them to read. I felt very sad to see a lot of people suffering from various illnesses and who are ignorant with the true principles of health and how to live healthy. Their hope is in the drugs, hoping that they will recover from their illnesses, without knowing its deadly cause and effects. Although their big trust is in the doctor and in their ways, we still share to them the simple way of healing and the prevention of getting sick and most especially we lead them to look and have faith to Jesus - our great Doctor and Healer.
     You know brother Bob, its really a great work to labor those in the hospital, because those people there mostly are hopeless and depressed and they need someone who will uplift their spirit. They are more willing to hear and accept words of Christ in their situation. I just remember the words of Christ in Matthew that says that during the judgment, He will welcome those who visited the sick, gave food to the hungry, and water to the thirst and who clothed the naked. And this work, this is what we are trying to do now, not with our own strength but with His strength, not to glorify ourselves but to glorify Him and His name. That is the reason brother Bob why we are so busy, because we are also doing some livelihood to help those people in their situation, to give them not only their spiritual needs but also their temporal needs. How can we feed the hungry, if we have no food to give, or how can we clothe the naked if we have no clothes to give them. How can we help the poor if we too are poor and has nothing to give. That’s why brother we thought that we need to do something, we need to look for a solution. And you know brother Bob, what we do is, we cook vegetarian dishes and foods and we sell it and the profit we get from it, we gave it to the most needy. And you know brother Bob, mostly our customer who buy our cook foods are doctors and rich men here who are health conscious. By doing this, not only that we teach other people how to eat healthy foods, but at the same time we got an income to provide for our ministry needs and help other people. Sometimes we bought some kilo of rice, and some foods and gave it to the most poor and needy people. When we go to the public hospitals, we bought a box of apple or whatever fruits is available and gave it to the patients there.
     We also gave some of our clothes that we seldom used to those who most need it. Its really true brother Bob, we have a lot to do for Christ in the person of this people. And by doing it, we will have an access to their hearts and they will more easily and readily accept the message and the truth we have.
     Also brother Bob, once a week we gathered some children here in our neighborhood and teach them Bible lessons and stories and songs for Jesus and also how to pray. And after our class, we do feeding program. And we are doing it also in our church in ____. We also gather the children there once a week and do the same....

     Brother Bob, another year is now open and added to our years again, especially for being together in the vineyard of the Lord. It is still fresh in my mind the first time I met and know you personally in 1996 in ____ City at brother ____’s house and during the whole camp meeting in ____. I was then a very young missionary. And sometime in 1999, when we started communicating each other, and we (my husband and I) became a part of your ministry and a helping hand in spreading the truth here in the other side of the coast. You know brother Bob, I really praise and thank the Lord with all my heart, for allowing us to know you especially the messages you have for it really helped us a lot to better understand what is our position and doctrines to believed in. We faced a lot of trials in the faith here especially in points of doctrinal issues, and in defending our faith, we experienced a lot of heartaches and separations from former brethren and closest friends because of their false beliefs and doctrines and praise God for holding us and keeping us in the faith and helping us to hold firmly on the truth. It is because of His mercies and love to us that we are still here. We passed through a lot of trials, both personal and in the church. The enemy severely tried us and wants to take us, but thank God that He didn't surrendered us to the hands of the enemy but embraced us with His love although we have a lot of flaws and are not worthy of His love. He is so great! Through this trials He made us much stronger. I know the Lord is preparing us to a much stronger trials and we hope and pray that He will continue to help us and give us grace and strength to stand on it. Please pray for us.
     Brother Bob, it is now two decades that we've been working together. I want to thank you for all your prayers, encouragement, and comfort and for supporting me or us (my husband and children) in our work through this long years of journey in the ministry. I really appreciates everything you did for us especially for the progress of the work here. I want also to apologized for whatever shortcomings I did to you, especially for the delay of my report. Thank you for your patience. Brother Bob, I am praying that God will help us to be faithful to Him till the end and praying that we will see each other in the Sea of glass in heaven. We love you our dear brother!...

     Here is my report what we've done for the whole month of January. For the first week: I spend it in ____, ____. I did visit to encourage and strengthen our brethren there especially other new in the faith, and also I was able to share to some of them there who even know the truth. And on the Sabbath, we and the brethren there went all to ____ to spend Sabbath with the brethren there.
     And on the second week I went to ____. I visited our brothers and sisters in the faith there. I visited also some of our brethren there that became cold in the faith and encouraged them to come back and serve and worship the Lord again, for the time is short and we need to be found ready always. I spend one Sabbath there.
     On the third week, I spend it to our brethren in the island of ____. There, our brethren lives in the country already. They have a large farm there. They plant a lot of vegetables and trees there, preparing for the crisis that is ahead of us.
     And on the last week of January, I went home and spend it with my family and with our brethren here. I also did visitations here with those that I am sharing with.
     Last Saturday we had our fellowship with all our brothers and sisters here in ____ and ____ provinces. And we all see each other although some were not able to come and attend,.but still we are all happy and blessed to see our brethren.
     Brother Bob please pray for our work here.  There is an invitation for us this coming April in ____. They are also a present truth believer and we haven’t met them before. They are inviting us there in their area, hopefully to be united with them and work together with them. They are also planning for a camp meeting when we get there. So please pray for us that God will be with us in all our plans especially in His work....
     Anyways brother Bob, for the month of February, the Lord has been so good to us. After our fellowship with all the brethren here last Feb 1, the Lord continue to give us a work to do. We've been able to share and help some people through medical missionary work, through natural remedies especially through their diet. Some ask us to cook vegetarian food for them and even order their next meal from us, and some of them are well known doctors here. Through these, we were able to share the benefits of being healthy and how to take care of our bodies that we may glorify our God, and let them know that it is God's plan for us to bring us back to our original diet when He created us. Especially now that whole the world are scared with this Corona virus, the people are now more open and careful for their diet and open to hear the message.

     Last Feb 13-15, I was invited again to ____, one of the present believer church with a big number of members, to be a speaker there for the whole Sabbath. It was a great privilege to be with these brethren again, and strengthened each of us with our presence. A lot of their members there I already knew way back from 1992 reformation, and thank God that we are still in the truth up to now by God's help.
     Brother Bob, for the whole month of February, we were able to seek for those souls who are God's true children and thank God that we were able to found one woman with two kids. She was a backslide SDA for a long time, and maybe God is calling her now to come back to Him again. By the guidance of our Lord and the Holy Spirit, we are helping her and leading her again to our Lord. We are helping her the revival of her spiritual condition, and sharing to her the message of reformation. She already spent two Sabbaths with us, with her two kids. Hopefully it will continue and we are also praying that we will also meet her husband and be able to share with him also our faith.
     This coming Sunday, we will be holding a recollection program with the graduating students of grade 10 and grade 12 in ____. We've done it first time last year, and the principal in that school were happy for the result (from) last year that’s why they invited us again this time. What we do last year was, there's a portion of time that dwells to giving time and serve God while young; time for bringing to their realizations the importance of their parents and how to be a good children and how to be grateful to their parents; time to bring back their gratitude to their teachers and how to give importance to the life that the Lord lent to them. We had also a time to share to the faculties of that school especially for sharing to them the health principles and teaching them some vegetarian menus. And we will do the same what we did last year. Please pray for this coming one whole day event that we may do it successfully and bring back the glory to God. We are praying that we may lead souls to Christ that they will continue to search for God and especially His truth, that hopefully some of them will become a faithful believers and members of God’s children.
     Also Please continue to pray for our work in ____ this coming April. We will be needing financial support for our fare and allowances going there. May the Lord help us and do the work there faithfully for His name's glory.
     Till here for now brother Bob. May the Lord continue to bless you with good health and bless your ministry too. Thank you for all your prayers. God bless.
Your little sister in Christ, s.b., Philippines.


FROM UGANDA, EAST AFRICA

(Combination of 2 letters) Dearest Elder Sessler.
     Christian Greetings from this way.
     Precious in the sight of the Lord are those who fear & love His Commandments, He has gracious kept them....
     One thing I would love to thank our Heavenly Father (for) is a woman (who) came running (and) thanking God for the tract given her. I had forgotten about issuing any tract, it was about family in accordance to the will of God. She said it was as if it was written to her (and) she asked for more tracts to give to her family and friends.  For we work and all it seems like it's dead work (so) what an encouragement (this was to me, and) what a joy in Luke 15:7 KJV - “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”...
     Two prayer requests (please): one for woman who oppression and afflictions hath made her mad; her names are ____ Catherine; and other is (a) gentle man (who is) demon afflicted.  (Please) lay them before our loving Heavenly Father, for He will requite them with His matchless mercies.
     A day hardly passes without being constrained with Christ's Love to tell His story how he left all to save me and the whole world....
     The Risograph (is) still down due to financial situation that the good Lord hath allowed me to go through. Romans 8:28 KJV - “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”...
     Thanks for earnest prayers, the physical and financial support.  Our Heavenly Father will faithfully reward your stewardship....
     We are living at the break of confusion, and then the end of all things will come.
     Two persons appreciated the tracts (given to them), (but) the machine is down (and) it will need service by well qualified service provider. We still need your support in circulation of the tracts. Earnestly pray for us we need His protection. We are almost under complete shut down we need supplies. Thanks.
     Our warmest greetings to all our brethren.
Yours in His humble service. B.K., Uganda.


FROM ZAMBIA, CENTRAL AFRICA

(Combination of 2 letters) Dear Elder Bob,
     Greetings to you and the households in Jesus name. The family with me is fine by His grace.
     I sincerely apologize for not sending these reports in good time. This has been caused by the electricity power failure we are facing in this country. It is hard sometimes to charge laptops and cell phones. Nevertheless, I have this opportunity to send it today.
     First and foremost: I would love to appreciate again for the Almighty God for the true inspiration spirit you had when writing those two booklets. "Separation part one and two" which has brought a lot of good works in all the areas they are being distributed. In this province called ____, many churches including SDAs have received these and a lot of questions are being asked and many are now separating leaving corrupted churches joining home churches. Many of these booklets we reprinted have all been taken and many calls are coming requesting for the same. And for now we do not have materials or money to buy these papers or reprinting materials. We too have a church called seventh day Baptist who have taken these booklets and they need more.
     I also have a pending trip to ____ district about 800kms away from where I live. Br. ____ donated transport for the two of us, I mean with brother ____. We need to take many of our booklets especially these two on separation. The fields are ready but few materials. Henceforth, our request is that many the Almighty God soften the hearts of those sponsors to help us reprint more booklets.
     Secondly, the herbal clinic is doing well with many visiting to seek for treatment and knowledge on natural healings. Most herbs are finished only remaining with Turmeric, Ginger powder and Devils Craw.
     Elder Bob the Lord has done a lot of wonders to those who have been helped and taught how to use natural healing methods. A good example is set to a very close friend who had great trouble with issues of kidneys and gases, his name is ____, this troubled him so much, but after learning these herbal medicines, he has really recovered and he is still continuing the treatment. He has also become a vegetarian. I need help of money to purchase more herbs for the clinic.
     If I manage to buy a camera in the near future I will be taking photos and send you. Your quick response by God's grace will be highly appreciated.  More reports to come soon....
     The year 2019, was one of the difficult years I had ever had a lot of challenges with movements in missionary programs. The Lord had opened many places to move to for missionary work, but transport money was a big challenge. Nevertheless, many printed books especially Separation part one and two which we had were sent to near by home churches and others were distributed to open people who needed them. Especially in two provinces called ____ and ____. I really want to praise the Lord through your prayers those that received are making more requests for the same materials. I also managed to hold a Bible study with SDAs who invited me to conduct a study in church. This was influenced by my immediate young brother who is an elder in this church. I will be traveling there again for another lesson on investigative judgement.
     I also had another appointment with the Seventh Day Baptist church, this one is yet 2 take place with elders of the church. They want a study on Daniel 7, 8 and 9. I need support for fuel to travel to these places. I thank...the Lord for a few sister who supported us with some money go print more booklets. Br.____ and I are working hand in hand to print more of the same materials and other children Sabbath school lessons. We have a trip to visit new brethren in ____ within Zambia about 880km one way and also to take enough materials to our brethren in Malawi, an assignment made by Elder Bob. We are waiting for the covid 19 to end then longed distances will be worked on. Kindly support us.
     I had many patients coming for consultations and treatment with different diseases, but only very few were attended to due to lack enough herbs. It has been very long since I received support for buying herbs for the clinic, I pray that the Lord will bless our supporters in order for them to send support this month end. I have a very amazing testimony of my cousin who is HIV patient and two months ago the gentleman was almost dying, but through these herbs which sister ____ advised me years ago, the gentleman has pickup amazingly. PRAISE GOD, THESE NATURAL MEDICINES ARE WORKING TREMENDOUSLY. Please, there is a lot I can testify from many who have received these herbs are doing better and praising the Lord. Please may you our major support help us cause even my neighbors are benefitting very much even on simple Ginger, Garlic and Turmeric.
     May the Lord continue to bless you.  AMEN.

FROM ZIMBABWE, AFRICA

Dear elder Bob,
     I hope I find you well. It’s quite a long time now since I gave you an update regarding missionary work in Zimbabwe. I wish to assure you that the grace of God is with us in Zimbabwe. First I must thank God because of you for your moral and mutual support that you have constantly given me. The Lord has also shown me His hand and has worked marvelously for me since August 2019 to the present day. The church continues to grow spiritually and in numbers despite being scattered.
     Soul winning work is daily growing up and the LORD IS GIVING US LARGELY of His Spirit and this has enabled us to consolidate the work of winning souls to Christ. However incapacitated we might be, we have not been weary to execute this noble duty, both myself and my wife. Other brethren are in like manner doing all they can to hasten the return of our blessed Jesus.
     This ministry (evangelistic outreach which I started on WHATSAPP) has continued to grow and daily posts that admonish, edify, correct, inform and educate are being posted freely by the brethren all over the world. This ministry has in a great measure united the people of God as I never imagined. It is my prayer that this PLATFORM OF ETERNAL TRUTH should continue to grow and do for us that which we cannot do ourselves.
     On a positive note, the Lord has worked mightily for our former brethren who had previously disagreed with our position with regard to organization in Namibia. They used to be bitter and had even shown signs of not returning back to us. Now they have been won to Christ again due to this ministry. This follows when most have joined this group chat and have since been united to the brethren.
     Sometimes I have wondered how the patriarchs and prophets managed to establish and consistently maintained an ever growing relationship with God. How they conquered kingdoms, how the Lord fought in behalf of His people, and how others are in our view heroes of faith - was due to the secret power of prayer. I have learned the skill of how to pray as I never prayed before. One thing that interest me most is that the Lord is ever ready to answer my prayers. Some of the quotes that have propelled me to surge forward in this narrow pathway are as follows:
     “The fear of the Lord dwelt in the heart of Luther, enabling him to maintain his steadfastness of purpose, and leading him to deep humility before God. He had an abiding sense of his dependence upon divine aid, and he did not fail to begin each day with prayer, while his heart was continually breathing a petition for guidance and support. “To pray well,” he often said, “is the better half of study.”  {GC88 122.1}

     “From the secret place of prayer came the power that shook the world in the Great Reformation. There, with holy calmness, the servants of the Lord set their feet upon the rock of his promises. During the struggle at Augsburg, Luther did not fail to devote three hours each day to prayer; and these were taken from that portion of the day most favorable to study. In the privacy of his chamber he was heard to pour out his soul before God in words full of adoration, fear, and hope, as if speaking to a friend. “I know that thou art our Father and our God,” he said, “and that thou wilt scatter the persecutors of thy children; for thou art thyself endangered with us. All this matter is thine, and it is only by thy constraint that we have put our hands to it. Defend us, then, O Father!” To Melanchthon, who was crushed under the burden of anxiety and fear, he wrote: “Grace and peace in Christ! In Christ, I say, and not in the world, Amen! I hate with exceeding hatred those extreme cares which consume you. If the cause is unjust, abandon it; if the cause is just, why should we belie the promises of Him who commands us to sleep without fear?” “Christ will not be wanting to the work of justice and truth. He lives, he reigns; what fear, then, can we have?”  {GC88 210.1}

     “The prayer that ascends from a broken and contrite heart, though it should come from the lips of the lowliest saint, is never disregarded. It is as sweet music in the ears of our heavenly Father; for he waits to bestow upon us the fullness of his blessing. It is not in our power to estimate the supplies that are provided by the Lord to meet our demands. What power might attend the church did we but call frequently and in faith for the abundant treasure of the store-house of God. We have only begun to taste of the richness of the divine promises. It is our privilege to drink largely of the fountain of boundless love. What a wonder it is that we pray so little! God is ready and willing to hear the sincere prayer of the humblest of his children, and yet there is much manifest reluctance on our part to make known our wants to God. What can the angels of God think of poor, helpless, human beings, who are subject to temptation, when God's heart of infinite love yearns toward them, and he is ready to give them more than they can ask or think, and yet they pray so little, and have so little faith? The angels love to bow before God, they love to be near him. They regard intercourse with God as their highest joy, and yet the children of earth, who need so much help that God only can give, seem satisfied to walk without the light of his Spirit, the companionship of his presence. {ST, December 23, 1889 par. 5}

     It is therefore my privilege to assure you my brother that you are always in prayer....
     (On another issue:) “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. Luke 21:26.  O that God’s people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry!” {OFC 317.5}

     “Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer . But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah, and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would--He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some, in order to further his own designs; and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them.  
     “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. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence.” (GC 589-590).

     Some of the quotes like these above makes me believe that the coming of Christ is close at hand with the outbreak of the Corona virus. There is need for us to pray as never before as people are dying in darkness without being prepared to receive their Saviour.
Kind regards, B.N., Zimbabwe.
