Noble Bereans,

Part 63:
“Ellen White & Harold Camping on Coming Out of Babylon”
To read part 1, click here…”September 2nd (Noble Bereans?)”
.
.
.
.
.
.
“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 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”
Revelation 18:1, 2, 4
.
.
.
.
.
.
So, in this little series, the subject of those noble Bereans has been introduced. And today, it is still worthy of a little more exploration into another area of concern.
.
Let’s review the key Bible passage…
“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea:
who coming there, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica,
in that they received the word with all readiness of mind,
and searched the scriptures daily,
whether those things were so.”
Acts 17:10, 11

AN OPEN-MINDED SPIRIT IN BEREA
.
Okay, so those in Berea were more noble, because they:
.
1. “Received the Word with all readiness of mind.”
.
2. “And searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
.
Yes, those noble Bereans were ready to receive new teachings, which no doubt, conflicted with the supposed, “orthodox” teachings of that day.
.
Thus, there was an open-mindedness which permeated their hearts, and a willingness to search the Scriptures daily, in hopes that these seemingly new teachings were indeed true!

CAMPING AND WHITE BOTH IN AGREEMENT
.
Well, it’s too bad that Harold Camping didn’t understand Ellen White’s ministry.
.
Yes, Harold Camping thought Mrs. White to be a false prophet.
.
But had he explored her ministry more closely, he would have discovered that she taught many similar truths which he also taught!

THREE ANGEL’S MESSAGES
.
Though Ellen White’s and Harold Camping’s ministries both seemed out of time, especially Ellen White’s, given far back in the 1800’s, it is nonetheless true that their messages were compatible with each other.
.
And those two messages were likewise compatible with this current 3rd Angel’s message, revealed in the Sun, Moon, and stars. (See Luke 21:25 for “Sun, Moon, and stars” reference)

VERY DECEPTIVE COUNTERFEIT
.
Oh yes, there seems to be an excitement in many churches, and yet it is an excitement NOT borne of the Holy Spirit, but rather of a counterfeit origin, even as it is written…
“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise,
and shall shew signs and wonders,
to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.”
Mark 13:22
.
Yes, the Bible forewarned of a last-day counterfeit Holy Spirit movement, working within the fallen churches!
.

.
.
“For such are false apostles…And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness…”
2nd Corinthians 11:13-15
.
Again, it is written of the False Prophet Beast…
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan,
with all power and signs and lying wonders,”
2nd Thessalonians 2:9
.
Satan must raise up a counterfeit holy spirit within the apostate churches, so as to cover up the church-wide apostasy as best as he can. And actually, his counterfeits will “deceive, if possible, even the elect!” Mark 13:22
.
And so, these are very clever and deceptive counterfeits!

.
.
Camping & White Both in Agreement
.
But both Harold Camping, and even Ellen White, back in her day saw that apostasy, and trumpeted the call, that “Babylon is fallen is fallen”…
.
And even though Ellen White’s 70-year ministry presented all three angel’s messages to a certain degree, Harold Camping’s 50-year ministry further amplified those three messages.
.
And, of course, these messages are even more fully amplified by the 3rd Angel’s message, now being revealed in the Sun, Moon, and stars!
(See Luke 21:25 for “Sun, Moon, and stars” reference)
.

THREE ANGEL’S MESSAGES FOR THIS VERY HOUR
.
But make no mistake, the Three Angel’s Messages, though first presented in former decades, yet are primarily for these present closing hours, as we now enter into the last portion of the Great Tribulation, which will be followed by the Second Coming of Christ “on the Last Day!”
(See John 6:39, 40, 44, 54, for “on the Last Day!” reference)
.
In other words, the message of the 3rd Angel will be heard with “a loud voice”, and will be the final plea and call to repentance to the human race.
(See Revelation 14:9 for “loud voice” reference)

PROOF POSITIVE OF CAMPING’S AND WHITE’S MINISTRY
.
But the very Good News is, that this agreement between Camping’s ministry and White’s ministry puts a great big giant exclamation mark on the validity of both these two ministries!
.
Yes, they both are indeed a dramatic fulfillment of the prophecy found in Revelation 14 concerning the messages of the three angels!

TODAY’S PRAYER…
“Dear Lord, Help me to be an open-minded seeker of truth, even if it means giving up a very highly regarded Church opinion! Let me be willing to investigate any seemingly new teaching if it appears to have some biblical validity…

TODAY’S FEATURED HEAVENLY SIGN
.
.
.
.
THESE SIGNS ARE MENTIONED
.
From time to time, the Book of Revelation mentions stars. But when we get to Revelation Chapter 12, it speaks of two “great signs in heaven”. First, it speaks of the sign in heaven of a woman with child. Then it speaks of the sign in heaven of a great red dragon, with a tail that sweeps one-third of the stars and casts these stars down to the earth. So we get the sense that this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens. And these two signs in heaven, a woman, and a dragon, are a big part of this website, Signs Of Heaven.
.
And so this phenomenon that the Apostle John was seeing, was closely intertwined with the starry host of the heavens.
