The church of Adam was founded, according to the margin in the Bible, in 4004 B.C. It was founded by God in the Garden of Eden, and it was a pure church. We find that Adam and his descendants worshipped at the east gate of the Garden of Eden, The Lord had placed an angel there with a flaming sword, and they recognized that the glory and presence of God were in that place, so they came there to worship God.

It is interesting to note that God placed this angel at the gateway to the Garden of Eden to keep man out so that he could not eat of the tree of life and be immortal. This surely proves that the idea that man is immortal is false. God made it very clear to men as follows, "in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die." Gen. 2:17. God told man that if he ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil he would die, and so death came upon mankind, and the Lord prevented him from entering the garden and eating of the tree of life, so that he would not continue to live on and perpetuate sin.

It was not long after the church of Adam and Eve was founded that corruption began to eat out its moral fibers. In fact, there was trouble in Adam's own family. Abel was slain by his brother Cain. Adam and Eve now saw the results of sin; that the wages of sin is death. They saw the falling leaves, the thorns, the thistles and the briars; they saw the fading flowers, and all the evidences of death and sin that surrounded them, and even saw a murder in their own family.

The church of Adam started to go down, and down spiritually, until finally it had become so sinful that God looked upon the earth, and saw that the earth was corrupt in every way, and God decided that He must start another religious movement to call out His true saints from the church of Adam, and start a new church.

We read in Gen. 6:13, "And God said unto Noah, the end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." In verses 5 and 6, it says, "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart."

God said, I am sorry that I have made this world, because it has become corrupt. The Bible says, 'And God looked upon the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, the end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them, and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." Verses 12 and 13. Again we read: "And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." Verses 7 and 8. Noah found grace in the sight of God. He was a true servant of God, he was obedient to the law of God, in spite of all the corruption that surrounded him.

The church of Adam had gone down, and down, and down, and now God was ready to start a new religious movement under the leadership of Noah who was a righteous man. So God called Noah and revealed to him that He was going to destroy the earth with a flood. He said to Noah, "Behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and everything that is in the earth shall die. But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. Of the fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind." Verses 17-20.

God told Noah that He would establish His covenant with him. The Lord commanded him to preach a warning message to the world, that the world was to be destroyed by a flood, and that the people should turn away from the sins of the church of Adam that had become corrupt and return to obedience to God.

Noah's preaching had plenty of opposition. No doubt, the preachers of that day ridiculed his work, and probably said that he was crazy, and that people who united with his church were crazy. They no doubt said, as people do today, that they were members of an old established church, the church of Adam, and so they refused to come out of the church of Adam. They probably said, "Surely Adam's church must be the right church, because it was founded by God in the beginning." They failed to recognize that God had a message for them for that day, and that the Lord was giving them a last warning before the destruction of the earth. We are told that the world in the days of Noah was a world of giants. It was called the antediluvian world, and it was filled with great men of great stature, and wisdom, and knowledge. No doubt they had universities and men of great learning, and they prided themselves in their physical strength and mental abilities, but they would not listen to the simple message, the last call that God gave to them, and they were all destroyed by the flood, except the few who heeded God's message, and came out of the church of Adam and went into the ark to be saved. Only Noah and his family were saved. Just eight of them.

We read in Gen. 9:8, 9, "God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, and I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you." But did the church of Noah remain faithful to God? No, it is a sad story, for even the followers of Noah turned away from God, and before long the church of Noah started to go down, and down, and down. The descendants of Noah wanted to build a great city, and the Tower of Babel was built by them. But God was displeased with them, and confounded their tongues, so that they could not understand each other. This scattered them out over the face of the earth. It was not God's will for them to congregate in great cities, and so He scattered them, by changing their language. The descendants of Noah became more and more sinful, and finally, the Lord had to seek for another great man to lead His people out of the church of Noah, and establish a new movement that would be true to God. The Lord saw that He had a faithful servant in the earth, and that man was Abraham.

We read in Gen. 12:1, "Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing; And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curseth thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old when be departed out of Haran."

The Lord called Abraham to lead the third great religious movement of God in this world. He told him to get out of the country that he was living in because of the great wickedness that prevailed there, and God said, "I am going to take you into another land, into the land of promise." Abraham did not hesitate, but immediately obeyed God, and came out of the wicked land where he had lived all his life.

This third religious movement, led by Abraham, began around B.C. 1996. Abraham had a son by the name of Isaac, Isaac had two sons called Jacob and Eseu, and Jacob had twelve sons, and one of them was Joseph, who was sold into slavery to the Egyptians. You remember how his brothers went down to Egypt during the famine when Joseph was the prime minister of Egypt. He finally revealed himself to his brothers who had sold him into slavery, and he forgave them. Joseph sent for his father to be brought to Egypt, and the family moved to Egypt. They were all descendants of Abraham, and so the church of Abraham finally settled in Egypt. They became known as the Israelites for Jacob's name was changed to Israel. They multiplied and became a numerous people.

The Egyptians tried to hold them in slavery as long as they could, and made them work very hard. While in bondage to the Egyptians they lost sight of God, and so the church of Abraham turned more and more toward heathenism, and started going down, and down, and down. Many of them worshiped idols as the Egyptians did and ate the unclean things that the Egyptians were eating, so God had to do something again, to lead His faithful people out of darkness and sin.

The next man called by God to lead another great religious movement, was Moses, a young man whose life had been miraculously saved. At the time that he was called he was a member of the house of royalty in Egypt. He had been adopted by the daughter of the king. He was well-educated and well-trained, but God recognized that Moses loved the Lord, and would prefer to serve Him than to serve this world, so God called Moses to lead His people out of Egypt.

We read in Exodus 3:4-10, "And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush and said, Moses, Moses, and he said, Here am I." Now God spoke to Moses out of the burning bush, and when Moses turned aside to look into this peculiar phenomenon, God said to him, "Moses, Moses, and he said Here am I, and be said, draw not nigh thither, put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for be was afraid to look upon God. And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their task-masters; for I know their sorrows; and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me, and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt."

God made it clear to Moses that He wanted to call His people out of Egypt; to take them out. The Lord saw that the church that He had founded, under the leadership of Abraham, had become utterly corrupt. It had lost sight of the standards of God. Only a few of them were still trying to obey God's commandments, so God wanted to lead them out of Egypt. Under the leadership of Moses, the people of God were led out in a great religious movement; perhaps one of the greatest of all time. In Ex. 19:3-5 we read, "And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagle's wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people; for all the earth is mine."

God said to them, see how I have brought you out of Egypt. I am leading you to the promised land, now if you will obey me, I will make you a nation of priests and kings, I will make you a peculiar treasure, I will exalt you above all the nations of the world, and they said, "all that the Lord has spoken we will do." (Verse 8). But they did not do the things that God wanted them to do. God declared in their presence the immutable law, the Ten Commandments. He proclaimed His law in the midst of fire, thunder and smoke. They said that they would obey God, but it wasn't long before they were murmuring against Him. At the very time that God was giving the Ten Commandments to Moses in Mount Sinai, the people built a graven image, and were worshipping it. They could not get the heathen idol worship out of their systems.

The church of Moses continued to go down, and down, and down. They accepted God's ways less and less, and traditions and the commandments of men more and more. The church of Moses soon lost its way completely, and was walking in a way that was contrary to the will of God.

The next great religious movement founded by God, was led by Jesus Christ Himself. The Son of God came to this world to call those people who still loved Him, out of the church of Moses. We read in Matt. 4:17, 19 that the Son of God finally appeared in the world, as it was prophesied of Him, to preach the truth of God. "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand . .. and he saith unto them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

Jesus called the people out of the church of Moses. He warned them, "repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." He went from place to place, telling the people, "Take up the cross and follow me." He called them to come out of the church of Moses. It had become corrupt. It was filled with traditions, and was no longer obeying the commandments of God. Many of the people had learned to love money more than they loved God. Material things and the pleasure of the world meant more to them than the things of God. Their religion had become a form of godliness. Their preachers were taking the people's money, but were not feeding them the truth. The preachers in the church of Moses opposed the Son of God. In fact, they sought to destroy His life, and finally did accomplish this awful deed.

What was the attitude of the majority of the people toward Jesus in this new religious movement? We read in John 9:28, 29 a statement on this as follows, "Then they reviled him, and said (to the young man whom Jesus had healed), Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is." Notice, that they were saying that they belonged to the church of Moses. They felt that they were members of an old established church, and that Jesus was preaching new light, and they didn't want to accept Him. They said, "As for this fellow, we know not who he is." Just like the people say today that the religion of mother and father, and grandma and grandpa is good enough for us. It is an old established religion. We will not accept this new light.

Dear friends, those that did not accept the teachings of Jesus Christ and answer His call to come out of the church of Moses, were lost. Suppose that Peter, James, John, and Paul, and the other apostles and followers of Christ had decided to stay in the church of Moses because their parents were members of it, and because they had been brought up in it. If they had decided to stay in the church of Moses and refused to come out when Jesus called them, they would have been lost. Remember, that while their fathers and mothers, and grandfathers, and grandmothers were saved in the church of Moses, when Jesus called them to come out, they could not be saved in it. Once the Lord called them to come out, they must heed the call. The leaders and the people of the church of Moses finally crucified Christ. Because of this, they were rejected as a church and as a nation. We may crucify Christ today by our rejection of His truth.

After the resurrection, Christ's greatest concern was for the carrying on of His work. He organized the apostolic church, and commissioned His apostles to go into all the world and to preach to all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The disciples worked hard to give the message to the then known world. They founded churches in all parts of the world.

When the disciples were nearing the end of their days, they foresaw that corruption was going to enter the apostolic church. It was a matter of great concern to them. The apostle Paul said, "After my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things." Acts 20:29, 30. Paul was so concerned about the corruption of the apostolic church that he foresaw, that he said to them, "I ceased not to warn every one, night and day, with tears." The apostle Paul was shown by God, that a man of sin would arise, who would sit in a temple, calling himself God. (II Thess. 2:3-5). The apostle Peter foresaw the rise of the papacy.

Before the apostles had died, they saw how the different churches that they had founded at Ephesus, Corinth, Rome, and other places were striving for power. The bishop of the church of Rome, was the one who came out on top. The Roman Emperor soon elevated him to the position of supreme head of the church for all the world. This is exactly what Paul had warned against, this man who would arise, who would sit on a throne in a temple, calling himself God.

It was Constantine, the Emperor of Rome, who made the bishop of the church of Rome the head of the church for all the world. Constantine was supposed to have been converted to Christianity, although he had been a pagan sun worshiper. When he became a Christian he wanted the church to be popular, and he urged the pagans to join the Christian church. The leaders of the church were flattered by the attentions of the Emperor of the great Roman Empire, and they were not too scrupulous about guarding the standards of God, consequently, the pagans brought their images, holy water, and holy ashes, and other formalities into the church. Their festival days were also adopted into the church at this time. Such doctrines as sprinkling, purgatory, and confession to a man were all of pagan origin, and were adopted into the church.

The outstanding practice of the pagans was sun worship. The religion of the Roman empire was called Mithraism. Mithra, the sun god, was their god. The day that they particularly honored their god and worshiped him, was the first day of the week, or Sunday. Shortly after Constantine became a Christian, he made a law commanding that they should all worship on Sunday. This law was made in A.D. 321, and here it is from the Encyclopedia Britannica Ninth Edition, where it says,"The earliest recognition of Sunday as a legal duty is a constitution of Constantine in 321 A.D. enacting that all courts of justice, inhabitants of town, and workshops were to be at rest on Sunday; (venerabili die Solis). " The latter means the venerable day of the sun.

By this time, not only was God's holy day changed, but the mode of baptism was also changed. The Bible teaching about the state of the dead, and the punishment of the wicked, and many other things were changed by the church. The church now became laden with images, and shrines. Instead of men confessing their sins to God, they confessed them to the priest, and of course this was anti-christ. The great anti-christ of Bible prophecy was now in existence. This was the power that the apostle Paul warned the people against. This was "The son of perdition." The church that was founded by Christ and the apostles, was going down, and down, and down until it was completely and utterly corrupt. So the Lord had to look for someone else to lead His people.

God was now ready to call His people out of the church that was founded by the apostles, and who could He use to do this great work? He saw a priest in the papal church who was a righteous man, and who was chafing because of the traditions and sins of the church. This man was none other than Martin Luther, and God called Martin Luther to lead the sixth religious movement back to God. Luther was aided by other great reformers like Huss, Jerome, Calvin, Zwingli, and Knox, and many others. God found men in different lands to lead His people out of the Roman church.

The church of Rome persecuted the people who wanted to follow the Lord. Many of God's saints died as martyrs during the Dark Ages. In fact, millions were slain in this terrible time of tribulation. Jesus spoke of this in Matt. 24:21, 22 where He said, "For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved."

Well the days of persecution were shortened, thank God, by the great reformation movement. The mighty reformers preached the truth, they opposed the traditions, the falsehood, and the corrupt practices of the church of Rome. They called this system the anti-christ, and they knew whereof they spoke. Unfortunately, Protestantism today no longer gives the message a certain sound. They no longer seem willing to call the anti-christ by his right name. Protestantism has lost its character and its strength today, and is propagating many of the traditions of the papal church, including the false sabbath. But thank God for a great man like Martin Luther. It took courage for him to leave the papal church for all of his family and ancestors had lived and been reared in that church. What if Martin Luther had said, "My mother and father, and grandmother and grandfather, and all of my forefathers, as far back as I can remember were members of the Catholic church, so please God, don't ask me to come out?" What would have been the result? Dear friends, there would not have been a reformation led by Luther. Luther could not have been saved, though his ancestors might have been, if they were sincere in what they believed and lived. If Luther said, "I am going to stay in the church of Rome because my relatives are in it," he would have been rejected by the Lord. God showed Luther the great truth of righteousness by faith. If Luther had hid his eyes from that wonderful light that God revealed to him, it would have been a serious sin.

Many people, no doubt, refused to come out of the Roman church during the reformation. They said, "Well it is the old church, it was founded by Christ and the apostles." We hear that excuse today. Many people say that the Catholic church is the oldest church in the world. Therefore, they think that it must be right. My friends, when God calls us to come out, we must heed His call, no matter how old our church may be. Those people who refused to come out when the reformers were preaching, were lost. Unfortunately, the church of the reformation started going down, and down, and down, as had all the others.

As we all know today, there is no longer a protest against the traditions and the practices of the papacy. In fact, Protestantism has adopted many of the false teachings of the Roman Catholic church and defends them. The Protestant churches of today have lost much of their spiritual character. One can do most anything and belong to these churches. The churches are characterized by their worldliness. Dancing, shows, drinking, smoking, and all other habits of worldlings are now found in the churches, so protestantism has gone down, and down, and down, until now in these last days, before Jesus comes, the Lord has established His seventh and last religious movement back to God. Seven is a perfect number in the Bible, and indicates completeness.

In the twelfth chapter of Revelation, the true church is described, under the symbol of a pure woman in white. We are told in the sixth verse, "The woman fled into the wilderness, where she bath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." We have already discovered in Eze. 4:6 that God has appointed each day for a year in Bible prophecy. This twelve hundred and sixty days that the church fled into the wilderness, is literally a period of twelve hundred and sixty prophetic years. The true church was to disappear as an organization during the Dark Ages when the Roman Catholic church ruled supreme. This period was from 538 A.D. to 1798 A.D. In the prophecies of Revelation 13 and Daniel 7, it tells us that the anti-christ power would rule for this period of time, twelve hundred and sixty days. So the true church was to be in biding, or in the wilderness during the twelve hundred and sixty years that the anti-christ ruled.

The churches that were founded under the Protestant reformation in 1517, could not be the last true movement of God, because the last church of God, or the remnant church, the woman who was to come out of the wilderness, was not to appear until after 1798. Since most of the Protestant churches of today were founded back in the reformation movement of 1517, they cannot be the last true church. It is true, that they were movements led of God, and that their leaders, men like John Wesley, and others, were great men, but if these leaders could see the condition and the worldliness in their churches today, they probably would turn over in their graves. The Protestant churches of today are not God's last true church. However, God has many people in these churches, who are honest and sincere, and if they want the light, the Lord will reveal it to them, and they will come out before Jesus comes.

In Rev. 12:17, God described His last true church, which is the woman who has been in the wilderness for twelve hundred and sixty years. He says, "The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

The last church, or the remnant church, would be like the original, or the apostolic church, keeping the same Sabbath, upholding the same ideals and standards that God gave to His people. The outstanding characteristic of this remnant church, as you can see, is that it keeps the commandments of God and has the testimony of Jesus Christ. In Rev. 19:10, it tells us what the testimony of Jesus is, it says, "The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." And so there are two outstanding characteristics of God's last church: They keep the commandments of God, and they have the testimony of Jesus Christ, which is the spirit of prophecy.

God's remnant church, like the apostolic church, keeps all of God's commandments; has the same high standards of living; does not believe in drinking, and smoking, gambling, or show-going. It is a clean church. There is only one church that fits the description of the remnant of Rev. 12:17, and that is the Seventh-day Adventist church, because it is the only world-wide movement which keeps all of the commandments of God and has the spirit of prophecy.

In Matthew 24, Jesus told His disciples what the signs of the end would be. As He was sitting upon the Mount of Olives, "The disciples came unto him privately saying, tell us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" In the 14th and 15^th verses of this chapter, Jesus said, "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand.)"

Jesus says, in connection with the signs of the end of the world, that when ye see these things, which are spoken by Daniel, the prophet, to understand them. They will have great significance in the last days. Most of the churches and church leaders say, "We do not know anything about the Book of Daniel, nor do we know anything about the book of Revelation, we believe that these books cannot be understood."

But God tells us that His people will know and understand the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, and they will preach His last message to the world. In Revelation 14, it gives us God's last warning for the world. It is the message that His remnant church, His last true church, will preach to the world in these last days. It says, "I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice, fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water." Verses 6, 7.

The first phase of God's last message, is a warning to the world that the hour of God's judgment is come. Now, there is only one church, the Seventh-day Adventist church, which preaches that the hour of God's judgment is come. It is the only church that claims to understand the prophecies of Daniel 8 and 9, in regard to the judgment. It Is the only church that preaches the prophecy of the twenty-three hundred years of Daniel 8:14, which reveals that the judgment began in heaven in 1844.

It was in 1844 that the remnant church was called out by God to preach this last message, and to call His people to come out to follow Him. The church appeared right on time. People of all churches, ministers of all faiths started to study these prophecies and to understand them, and to preach the message. The hour of God's judgment is come, is the principal phase of this message, and worship the Creator of heaven and earth. How do we worship the Creator? The great memorial of creation is the Sabbath, so this message calls men to keep God's great Sabbath day, the memorial of Creation. This message is called the "everlasting gospel." It is to be preached to all the world, before Jesus comes.

Then there is a second message as follows. "And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." Rev. 14:8. Who is this Babylon? In Rev. 17:5 she is portrayed as the woman in scarlet. She is called "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." Babylon represents the harlot church, the papal church. Her harlot daughters are the churches that have come out of the papal church, that are still practicing the same false doctrines. The remnant church is preaching the message of God, that Babylon is fallen, is fallen. The remnant church is calling men to come out of Babylon; to come out of the harlot church and her daughters. The harlot daughters are unclean, just as the mother church is. They are holding to her unclean doctrines and her unclean practices.

Protestantism still clings to the same corrupt doctrines as the papacy. The Sunday sabbath, the secret rapture, sprinkling for baptism, the immortality of the soul, eternal torment, and other pagan teachings of the papal church are still being held by the harlot daughters. The scriptures tell us that the remnant church will preach that Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and will give the message to come out of her.

Then there is a third phase to this everlasting gospel, as follows, "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." Rev. 14:9, 10.

The Seventh-day Adventist church is the only church that preaches this message against the beast and his mark. Some people say that it is not necessary to preach about the beast and his mark, and yet, dear friends, God tells us that those who worship the beast and receive his mark, will suffer the wrath of God (the seven last plagues), and finally be cast into the lake of fire. God also tells us in Revelation 15:1-3, that those who get the victory over the beast will stand on the sea of glass, and sing the song of victory.

Dear friends, do you want the victory over the beast? Do you want to stand on the sea of glass and sing that great song? If you do, then come out and take your stand on the side of God's people, who love Him enough to obey Him and keep all of His commandments. You must join God's last great religious movement, and before probation closes.

In the churches of the world, confusion and false doctrines prevail. The Lord says, "Come out of her my people." In Rev. 18:1, 2, 4 it says, "And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird . . . And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that ye be not par-takers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

In addition to the three angels, who give strength to the message of the everlasting gospel, here we have another powerful angel, sent by God, from the very throne of God, to add power and light to the last message, crying with a loud voice saying, Babylon, the great is fallen, is fallen. The message from God's throne to you and to me is come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues! Sin is the transgression of God's law. God is calling you to come out and to stop disobeying His law.

The Lord says, "Babylon, the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." This means that the world is filled with all manner of uncleanness; all kinds of false teachings, and deceptions.

Dear friends, it is supremely important that we heed God's call. Was it important for the people to come out of the church of Adam in the days of Noah? Was it important for the people to come out of the church of Noah in the days of Abraham? Was it important for the people to come out of the church of Moses in the days of Jesus and the apostles? Was it important for them to come out of the Roman Catholic church in the days of the Reformation? Yes, my friends, it was important, and today God is calling again, come out of her, my people. It is His last call to the world before the plagues are poured upon the earth. This message is swelling into a loud cry, and it is going to the ends of the earth. The Lord is giving power to it. God is thundering down from His throne, "come out, come out of her my people!"

Are you willing to heed God's call? Here is what God says in John 10:26, 27, "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you, my sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." And in John 18:37, God says, "Everyone that is of the truth, heareth my voice." My friends, are you hearing God's voice calling you out of Babylon? Are you willing to unite with His remnant who keep all the commandments of God? Jesus says, Ye are not of my sheep, because you refuse to follow, and heed my call. "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." "Many will be called," Jesus says, "but few will be chosen." Not because the Lord does not want them, but because they refuse to heed His call.

Many people think that God's last church must be a big church, but God makes it very clear, that His church is a remnant, which means a small church, and it will keep all the commandments of God and that it will have the spirit of prophecy.

Jesus said when he was here on earth, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Luke 12:32. Jesus did not say, Fear not big flock, fear not big church, but fear not little flock, little church, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give unto you the kingdom.

God is giving you His last call dear friends. You have been hearing it in these meetings. Will you heed that call? I beg of you, I plead with you. You must heed the call. You must come out of Babylon before the plagues are poured upon the earth. It will not be long until probation will close. The end is very near. What we do, we must do quickly. May God help you tonight to recognize the solemnity of this message and say, "Lord, I am ready to do Thy will, and to come out and follow Thee all the way."
