Rev 14:8

2. Rev 14:8 And theirfollowed another angel saying Babylon is fallen is fallen, that great city because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

3. Babylon’s Fall not Yet complete But the second angels message did not reach its complete fulfilment in 1844. The churches experienced a moral fall, in consequence of their refusal of the light of the advent message: but the fall was not complete. As they have continued to reject the special truth for this time they have fallen lower and lower. Not yet, however can it be said that Babylon is fallen… because she has made all nations drink of the wine of her fornication.” She has not yet made all nations do this. GC 389

4. And there came one of the seven angels which had seven vials, and talked with me saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgement of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the Kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her Fornication. Rev 17:1-2

5. Matthew 22;15-21 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

6. Deut 4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

7. Here, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deut 6:4-5 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy self. I am the Lord. Lev 19:18

8. Jesus opened them, and I saw the ten commandments written on them with the finger of God. On one table were four, and on the other six. The four on the first table shone brighter than the other six. But the fourth, the Sabbath commandment, shone above them all EW p33

9. Then one of them which was a lawyer asked him a question, tempting him and saying, Master which is the great commandment of the law? Jesus said unto him. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matt 22:35-40

10. Why doth this man thus speakblasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? {Mark 2:7}

11. The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. {John 10:33}

12. Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. {John 9:16}

13. And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. {John 5:16-18}

14. Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I amThen took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.. {John 8:58-59}

15. When the Chief priests and officers saw him, they cried out saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, take ye him and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God John 19:6-7

16. Pilate then went out unto them, and said what accusations bring ye against this man? They answered and said unto him, if he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him unto thee. Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, it is not lawful for us to put any man to death. John 18:30-31

17. I Find no Fault in Him Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. John 18:38 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may no I find no fault in him John 19:4 When the Chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto him, take ye him and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. John 19:6

18. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying if thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar’s friend: whosoever maketh himself a King speaketh against Caesar. John 19:12

19. They shall put you out of Synagogues: yea the time cometh that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God’s service. John 16:2

21. Rom 13:1-13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

22. Jer 27:6-8 And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves in him. And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the Kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the King of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the Lord, with the sword and with the famine and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

23. Daniel 3:17-18 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

24. Dan 6:10-13 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.

25. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

26. The Constitution of the United States guarantees liberty of Conscience. Nothing is more dearer or fundamental. GC 564

27. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;

28. saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Revelation 13:11-15

29. To the Dragon "One of his earliest goals as President, Reagan says, was to recognize the Vatican as a state 'and make them an ally'" [emphasis added].

33. Pope: Sunday Worship a “Necessity” For All “Sine dominico non possumus!” “Without Sunday [worship] we cannot live!” Pope Benedict XVI declared during a mass on September 9 at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna. “Give the soul its Sunday, give Sunday its soul,” he chanted before a rain-soaked crowd of 40,000 pope has been very vocal about Europe’s Christian—or Catholic—roots, and is pushing to have them included in the European Constitution. Sunday worship, he warned, was not just a “precept” to be casually adhered to, but a “necessity” for all people. September 17, 2007 | From theTrumpet.com

34. German Roman Catholics Back Pope’s Sacred Sunday The pope recently called Sunday a critical day of worship. German Christians have immediately taken on the pope’s battle cry for Sunday observance, launching a campaign against shopping on the first day of the week. Pope Benedict XVI chanted for Christians to “give the soul its Sunday, give Sunday its soul” in his mass on September 9 during a visit to Austria. Three days later, Christian churches in Germany started their campaign with the slogan “Thank God we have Sunday.” The campaign, which prepared posters and brochures for parishes and launched its own website, highlighted the meaning of Sunday for the spiritual life of Christians. The drive’s Catholic organizers have also collected 365,000 signatures on a petition to stop Sunday shopping. The pope’s call for faithful Sunday worship was not only answered by Germany’s Catholic masses, but was even embraced by some German Protestant churches. September 18, 2007 | From theTrumpet.com

35. World's future hinges on peace between faiths, Islamic scholars tell Pope The future of the world depends on peace between Muslims and Christianity, Islamic scholars told pope today. 138 prominent Muslims scholars said that finding common ground between the worlds biggest two religions was not simply a matter of polite ecumenical dialogue Guardian – Thursday October 11th 2007 To reach such a lofty goal, the letter compares certain Bible verses with similar passages in the Koran in an attempt to show the similarities between the two religions.

36. Ten Commandment Commission The Ten Commandments Commission was formed in the spring of 2005. The main purpose behind the organization is to create of a global think tank with the world’s leaders who have already recognized the power behind the TCC. We are a grass root movement joined by some of the nation's largest ministries.

38. It does not seem possible to us now that any should have to stand alone, but if God has ever spoken by me, the time will come when we shall be brought before councils and before thousands for His name's sake, and each one will have to give the reason of his faith. Then will come the severest criticism upon every position that has been taken for the truth. We need, then, to study the Word of God, that we may know why we believe the doctrines we advocate.--RH Dec. 18, 1888. {LDE 209.1}

39. Many will have to stand in the legislative courts; some will have to stand before kings and before the learned of the earth to answer for their faith. Those who have only a superficial understanding of truth will not be able clearly to expound the Scriptures and give definite reasons for their faith. They will become confused and will not be workmen that need not to be ashamed. Let no one imagine that he has no need to study because he is not to preach in the sacred desk. You know not what God may require of you. {LDE 209.2}
