Confusion
of Many Voices
And
I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that
ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Rev.
18:4.
In the
last work for the warning of the world, two distinct calls are made to the
churches. The second angel's message is, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen,
that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath
of her fornication." And in the loud cry of the third angel's message
a voice is heard from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, that
ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For
her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."
As God
called the children of Israel out of Egypt, that they might keep His Sabbath,
so He calls His people out of Babylon, that they may not worship the beast
or his image. . . .
After the
truth has been proclaimed as a witness to all nations, every conceivable power
of evil will be set in operation, and minds will be confused by many voices
crying, "Lo, here is Christ, Lo, He is there. This is the truth, I have
the message from God, He has sent me with great light." Then there will
be a removing of the landmarks, and an attempt to tear down the pillars of
our faith. A more decided effort will be made to exalt the false sabbath,
and to cast contempt upon God Himself by supplanting the day He has blessed
and sanctified. This false sabbath is to be enforced by an oppressive law.
. . . But while Satan works with his lying wonders, the time will be fulfilled
foretold in the Revelation, and the mighty angel that shall lighten the earth
with his glory, will proclaim the fall of Babylon, and call upon God's people
to forsake her. When do her sins reach unto heaven? When the law of God is
finally made void by legislation. Then the extremity of God's people is His
opportunity to show who is the governor of heaven and earth. As a Satanic
power is stirring up the elements from beneath, God will send light and power
to His people, that the message of truth may be proclaimed to all the world.
