All glory to the Almighty God

But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days
the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD
blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Part - 7
Satan fights against God through different means, which are direct and indirect in nature. The aim of this article
is to expose the indirect war, which Satan is fighting against God. For better understanding this article is
written like a conversation between Satan and his Angel.
Angel: Hello Satan! I’m reading my Bible every day as you have commanded. But still, I’m unable to find the true Church. Can you
please let me know the name of the Church?
Satan: Hello Angel. Surely you cannot find the true Church. The person who is guided by the Holy Spirit only can find it. I will let
you know the steps to find the true Church and I want you to listen carefully. The Church which has faith in the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit (Trinity) and has the Bible as basement and follows the Ten Commandments is the true Church.
Angel: Oh.. I found the truth Satan. There is no true Church in this world. As far as I know, no Churches are following the Ten
Commandments. Some Church says the Father is the only God and some Churches worship Mary. Even though there are lots of
Churches, I have never seen a Church which has faith in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Trinity).
Satan: It is my wish that there should not be a true Church on this earth. But, there is a true Church in existence with the faith in
Father, Son, Holy Spirit, with Bible as the base and following the Ten Commandments.
I pestered the Christians, Changed the Ten Commandments and tried to destroy the Bible (Daniel 7:25) But, God arranged a place
for the small group in the wilderness and fed them (Revelation 12:6). In this way, this small group survived over the centuries and
united after 1335 years (A.D. 508 - 1843 A.D) as per the prophecy in (Daniel 12:12) and this small group is the true Church.
Angel: I understood all your teachings. But why are you not telling out the name of the true Church?
Satan: Ha ha ha… Just to test your knowledge. Can you google and find out from the History on the important incidents happened
during the year 1843?
Angel: As per the history “The Three Angels Message” was proclaimed in 1843. William Miller proclaimed the message in North
America, Lacunza proclaimed it in South America and Joseph Wolff proclaimed it in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Due to which
there was a great uplift about the second coming of Jesus. And if we think accordingly the Seventh-Day Adventist Church is the
true Church. Am I correct?
Satan: Yes you are correct. The Seventh-Day Adventist Church is the true Church.
Angel: I have a doubt now. If Seventh-Day Adventist Church is the true Church, then why the population in this Church is very low?
Even in the USA where the headquarters of this Church is located, the population is just 0.5%.
Satan: As per (Matthew 7:13,14) which says “ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth
to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it” many chose the broadway and a few will choose the narrow way. The Seventh-Day Adventist Church
is the group who travels in the narrow way because they have to sacrifice the worldly things like Government jobs, promotion,
salary hike, etc… to observe the Sabbath holy. That is the reason for the lesser population in this Church.
Angel: Thank you Satan. Today you have cleared many of the doubts which I had. Now I’m reading the Bible seriously and if I
have any further doubts, I shall come back to you.
Satan: I’m glad that you are reading the Bible. Because without Bible knowledge we cannot bring the true Christians to our side.
You can leave now and meet me in the next month.

We are going to witness the Sabbath miracle which took place in Romania. Romania is a country which is ruled by the Communists
who say that “there is no God” and the freedom for religion was under threat. During those days the compulsory military training
law was under force and every student should undergo military training for a year after completing their studies. At that time Pavel
Goia who was a member of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church joined the military training after completing his studies.

The father of Pavel was a Pastor and he had taught him about the glory of Sabbath as he grew. So, Pavel observed the Sabbath
from his childhood days as taught by his father. Since he observed the Sabbath holy, he went through the hardship of being teased
by the school and college mates. Sometimes when Pavel conveys the hardship he underwent to his father the common statement
which he repeats every time is “My son you are a Seventh-Day Adventist Christian and you know, what should be done in
this situation”.

Pavel did his work sincerely in the military camp and also kept the Sabbath holy. He never attended training held on Saturdays.
When his commander calls him on Saturdays Pavel goes to the ground and sits quietly without doing the drills. Days passed and
the commanders become furious on him and discussed on punishing him. The law was in favor of the commanders and Pavel can
be jailed for 14 years on disobeying the order of the commander.

When the training commanders were discussing regarding Pavel, the chief commander came over there for an unannounced
inspection. He asked them about whom they were discussing and they told regarding Pavel. The chief commander said that we
can discuss regarding him later after the inspection. He inspected three places and was surprised about the glass work which was
done over there in a perfect manner. When the chief commander asked “who did this glass work?” they said it is done by Pavel.
Yes, the chief commander was surprised with the perfect work of Pavel who was the best in working with glasses.

Then the chief commander asked what were you discussing about Pavel? The training commanders said that Pavel was
not taking part in the training on Saturday and he is saying that he needs to worship God on that day. To their surprise,
the chief commander replied: “give leave to Pavel on all the Saturdays and let him pray for us”.

What a miracle it is? What an incident in the military of Communists who say that “there is no God”? This incident reminds on
which incident from the Bible?

(Daniel 3:16-18)
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood with courage for the living God and we can see the same courage of them in the life of
Pavel.

“Our God whom I serve is able to deliver me from the jail, and thine hand, O commander. Even if he doesn’t deliver I will not take
part in training or do any worldly work on Sabbath and you should know it”. Pavel took a similar stand like Shadrach, Meshach,
Abednego and won the battle against Satan.

Pavel Goia observed the Sabbath even under a critical situation. Are we observing the Sabbath on our pleasure-filled life? At least
do we think that we should observe Sabbath? This is the time for us to think and react.

Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee. Six days thou shalt labour, and do
all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy
son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor
thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
(Deuteronomy 5:12-14)

If you have gone through a Sabbath miracle in your life, please share it with us so that it can be an inspiration for others.
How do they manufacture white sugar?

After extracting the juice from the cane, they boil the juice by adding 200 ml of Phosphoric acid per Litre. After which
they add 0.2% of limestone and sulfur dioxide and boil it in 102-degree centigrade temperature. This process makes the
mixture of cane juice to lose all its natural resources. Then they mix caustic soda to remove the residue of the
sugarcane from the mixture. Finally, they mix sodium hydro sulphate to get the white sugar which we use.

Problems caused by consuming white sugar?

Obesity, diabetes, diseases which affects tooth and bones, memory loss, cancer and, heart diseases are caused by the
chemicals which are added to produce the white sugar.

How to avoid white sugar?

 We can use jaggery instead of sugar.

 Avoid consuming sweets containing white sugar.
 Make homemade sweets with jaggery.
 Avoid consuming bottled juices.
 Make fresh juices at home and consume without adding white sugar, as the fruits naturally have sweetness in it.
 When you buy any packed consumables, check the contents of it, as they add white sugar in all the consumables
made to attract the kids.

Prevention is better than cure

It is better to avoid consuming the things which are causing diseases instead of taking medication after getting diseases
as prevention is better than cure. So, stop getting addicted to taste and avoid consuming white sugar to live a healthy
life. In these days, the Businessmen make the product to attract people and make money. They are least bothered
about the health of the people. The doctors are supposed to advise their patients to avoid consuming things like white
sugar which is harmful to our health. Homemakers, please remove the sugar box in the kitchen and replace it with
jaggery to protect the health of your family members.

“The first wealth is health.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The shepherds were spending the night in the fields, taking care of their flocks. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the
glory of the Lord shone over them. They were terribly afraid, but the angel said to them, “Don't be afraid! I am here with good news
for you, which will bring great joy to all the people. This very day in David's town your Saviour is born — Christ the Lord! And this is
what will prove it to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.” Suddenly a great army of heaven's
angels appeared with the angel, singing praises to God: “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with
whom he is pleased!”
When the angels went away from them back into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let's go to Bethlehem
and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us.” So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and
saw the baby lying in the manger. When the shepherds saw him, they told them what the angel had said about the child.
All who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said.
As the Jews were thinking that Christ will come as a king named Immanuel and relieve them from the bondage of the
Romans, Jesus was born as a humble man in this world. The birth of Christ was simple without any celebration and took
place in a crib and He was made lye in the manger.
Jesus was obedient to his parents as He grew both in stature and in wisdom, gaining favor with God and people. When
Christ was 30 years old, He went from Galilee and came to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. But John tried to
make him change his mind. “I ought to be baptized by you,” John said, “and yet you have come to me!” But Jesus
answered him, “Let it be so for now. For in this way we shall do all that God requires.” So John agreed. As soon as
Jesus was baptized, he came up out of the water. Then heaven was opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God
coming down like a dove and lighting on him. Then a voice said from heaven, “This is my own dear Son, with whom I
am pleased.”
Then the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert to be tempted by the Devil. After spending forty days and nights without
food, Jesus was hungry. Then the Devil came to him and said, “If you are God's Son, order these stones to turn into
bread.” But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Human beings cannot live on bread alone, but by every word that
God speaks.’”
Then the Devil took him up and showed him in a second, all the kingdoms of the world. “I will give you all this power and
all this wealth,” the Devil told him. “It has all been handed over to me, and I can give it to anyone I choose. All this will be
yours, then, if you worship me.” Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!’”
Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem and set him on the highest point of the Temple, and said to him, “If you are God's
Son, throw yourself down from here. For the scripture says, ‘God will order his angels to take good care of you.’ It also
says, ‘They will hold you up with their hands so that not even your feet will be hurt on the stones.’” But Jesus answered,
“The scripture says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”In this way, Jesus overcame Satan’s temptation and was
prepared for his glorious ministry in this world. (To be continued…)

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. (Revelation 14:8)
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 18:4)
Who is Babylon?
If we study Revelation chapter 17 and 18 thoroughly, we can conclude that the Roman Catholic Church and other
Churches who follow its doctrines are called to be Babylon.
What is meant by wine?
The false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church are called to be wine.
What are the false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church?
1. They claim that Peter was the 'rock' which the church was to be built on and the pope is his successor.
2. They SELL THE GOSPEL (Purgatory, where they will face punishment for their sins. After this they are then
allowed into the heavenly kingdom, once they have "PAID" for their sins) through Indulgences.
3. They claim that Mary was sinless.
4. They claim that Mary is in Heaven and is co-redeemer with Jesus.
5. They claim that salvation is only possible through herself.
6. They claim that Sunday is the weekly holy Sabbath day.
7. They teach their members to pray the 'rosary' and other repetitive prayers.
8. They teach that sacraments (a kind of works like sprinkling baptism etc…which is not found in the Bible itself) are
NECESSARY for salvation.
9. They teach that the Priests literally bring down Christ Jesus into the bread and wine of Mass.
10. They teach that the Eucharist (Lord’s Supper against the Bible where pagan sun god is worshiped) is to be
WORSHIPED.
11. They teach that all sins MUST be confessed to a Catholic Priest.
12. They teach that salvation includes Muslims.
13. They teach the false 3 in 1 'trinity' god.
To whom does the Second Angel’s Message focus on?
The focus of this message is to the fallen Churches. The Roman Catholic Church and other Churches who follow its
doctrines which are against the Bible.
What is the determination of the Second Angel’s Message?
We have to come out of Babylon (Roman Catholic Church and other Churches who follow its doctrines which are fallen)
to be saved from the destruction.
Summary of the Second Angel’s Message
The Roman Catholic Church is in fallen status from its origin because its doctrines are against the Bible. The Second
Angel’s Message is an invite for Churches and people to come out of Babylon (Roman Catholic Church and other
Churches who follow its doctrines) in order to be saved from the destruction.
How the Second Angel’s Message becomes important for us?
In case if you are following the culture of the Roman Catholic Church and in the state of faint, this is the time for you to
wake up. Worshiping the cross, celebrating the birthdays and death anniversary of the dead, Christmas, Good Friday,
Easter which are against the Bible, worshiping on Sunday instead of the true Sabbath (Saturday) are the wine of the
Babylon and in case if you are drunk with these, its time for you to wake up and come out of Babylon (Roman Catholic
Church and other Churches who follow its doctrines) in order to be saved from the destruction.
 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God.
(Revelation 3:12)

In this section we are going to witness the powerful ministry of our Pioneers who stood as Pillars for Christ.
“Don't be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son. You are to name
him John. How glad and happy you will be, and how happy many others will be when he is born! John will be great in
the Lord's sight. He must not drink any wine or strong drink. From his very birth, he will be filled with the Holy Spirit,
and he will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. He will go ahead of the Lord, strong and
mighty like the prophet Elijah. He will bring fathers and children together again; he will turn disobedient people back to
the way of thinking of the righteous; he will get the Lord's people ready for him” said Gabriel the mighty Angel of God
about John the Baptist.

For John is the one of whom the scripture says: ‘God said, I will send my messenger ahead of you to open the way for
you.’ I assure you that John the Baptist is greater than anyone who has ever born to a women said, Jesus Christ.

John's clothes were made of camel's hair; he wore a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild
honey.

John the Baptist came to the desert of Judea and started preaching. “Turn away from your sins,” he said, “because the
Kingdom of heaven is near!” People came to him from Jerusalem, from the whole province of Judea, and from all over
the country near the Jordan River. They confessed their sins, and he baptized them in the Jordan.

I baptize you with water to show that you have repented, but the one who will come after me will baptize you with the
Holy Spirit and fire. He is much greater than me, and I am not good enough even to carry his sandals said John the
Baptist and testified Christ.

When he got the glorious opportunity to baptize Jesus Christ, he stopped Him and said that “I ought to be baptized by
you, “and yet you have come to me!” By this, he humbled himself and glorified Jesus.

When John saw many Pharisees and Sadducees coming to him to be baptized, he said to them, “You snakes—who told
you that you could escape from the punishment God is about to send? Do those things that will show that you have
turned from your sins. And don't think you can escape punishment by saying that Abraham is your ancestor. I tell you
that God can take these rocks and make descendants for Abraham!
The axe is ready to cut down the trees at the roots; every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown
in the fire. He has his winnowing shovel with him to thresh out all the grain. He will gather his wheat into his barn, but he
will burn the chaff in a fire that never goes out said John the Baptist regarding the end of this world.

When Herod the Governor of Galilee married Herodias, who was his brother Philip’s wife, John the Baptist told Herod,
“It isn't right for you to be married to your brother’s wife!” Because of this warning message Herod jailed John the Baptist.
Later he was beheaded because of the plot by Herodias.

John the Baptist completed his glorious job of making way for Christ’s first coming and stood for God as “Pillar for
Christ”. Are we doing the glorious job of making way for Christ’s second coming which is given to us? Have we ever
thinked about it? If never this is the time for us. Shall we start proclaiming the gospel to the world boldly, like John the
Baptist from today? Do not postpone this glorious job for tomorrow, begin it today! We shall win the war with Satan like
John the Baptist and stand for God as “Pillars for Christ”. Let us pray to God for getting this glorious opportunity. Amen.
