About fate of those

Present Truth Believers when the top of Carmel withers

Introduction

W

e are now living in the time of the end, which is in the last end of the time of the end itself. Let no one think anymore that the time will go on and on without limit. The earth with all kinds of its calamities now befalling many parts of the world, is enough to show us that the earth is going to be more and more unsuitable for the habitation of men and the beasts.

As sinners of the earth ever since the fall of our first ancestors Adam and Eve in sin, we have to know that ever since year 31 in the past we have been fully redeemed by our own Creator with a price of an unimaginable value, which is of the life of the Son of God Himself. Therefore, with the accomplishment of the redemption ever since, we now as Present Truth believers of SDA Church should have understood that our status now have been changed into the so-called “the Children of God”, or the citizens of the kingdom of Heaven, who are to be identified as keepers of the Law of the Ten Commandments and all Its Rules of implementation in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Revelation 12 : 17 ; 19 : 10.

The SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, therefore, is not limited to only the message of the third angel of Revelation 14 by Mrs. Ellen G. White the prophet, but to The SPIRIT OF PROPHECY of Revelation 19 : 10, which comprises the message of the Spirit of Prophecy by Mrs. White and the Shepherd’s Rod message of Revelation 18 : 1 by Bro. Victor T. Houteff the prophet.

The combination of those two messages by both the servants of the Lord is to enlighten the whole earth, beginning in our own Church of SDA. And with the enlightenment of the message in our midst we would have understood that when our turn comes for our cases to be investigated in the heavenly court of justice, then is the time of probation for all the Laodiceans to close. Every one of us will be tried, and this is the process of the purification of the Laodicean Church, before she could have been sent to the whole world to have accomplished the proclamation of the message of the Kingdom to all the inhabitants of the earth with power of the Spirit of the second Pentecost up to the close of probation in the heavenly sanctuary, which is before the second advent of Jesus in the air. This article is a continuation of the one entitled : “ORGANIZATION, THE PROBLEM OF LIFE OF DEATH FOR THE END TIME PEOPLE OF GOD.”

The first main problem

to be revealed through the book of Revelation

The first main problem revealed from the book of Revelation is the “Message of Justification by Faith” which was opposed by the angel of the Church of Laodicea or the General Conference of SDA held in 1888 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. As the result of the opposition against the message the spiritual condition of the angel of the Church of Laodicea or the Organization of the General Conference of SDA fell so dramatically into a spiritual condition called “lukewarm.”

That is the reason why did Jesus through His servant Mrs. Ellen G. White send us through the Review and Herald dated February 25, 1902 a special Call for a spiritual Revival and a spiritual Reformation.

The Call was just realized later by Bro. Victor T. Houteff the servant of the Lord who came in 1929 several years after the death of Mrs. White. Due to the fact that even this latest Call was also rejected, and Bro. Houteff as the servant sent by the Lord Himself was disfellowshipped, then ever since 1935 according to the same Call for a spiritual reformation, the Organization of General Conference of SDA was then re-organized into the Organization of the General Association of Davidian SDA in Waco, Texas, USA. Thus it is that ever since the same year in 1935 the General Conference of SDA as the angel of the Church of Laodicea was then spewed out of Jesus’ mouth.

Meanwhile through the same Call for a spiritual revival, we are all being led to the strife with all the power that God has given us to be among the 144.000 elected saints of God, prophesied by John the Revelator in the Revelation 14 : 1.

Thus it is that spiritual revival would mean all the prophecies of the Old Testament, the book of Revelation and all the parables of Jesus in the New Testament should have been understood and obeyed. This is the only way for us to enter into fellowship of those the elected saints of God in the future. And all the prophecies of the Old Testament, the book of Revelation, and all the parables of Jesus in the New Testament should have been interpreted to meet the fulfillment of the prophetic word of prophet Amos when he said : “SURELY THE LORD GOD WILL DO NOTHING BUT HE REVEALETH HIS SECRETS UNTO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.” – AMOS 3 : 7.

All Present Truth Believers

of Davidian SDA should have been divided into t w o categories

John the Revelator ever said,

“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. …………These are they which were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. … And in their mouth was found no guile : for they are without fault before the throne of God.” – Revelation 14 : 1, 4, 5.

The 144.000 elects of God should have come out of the Seventh-day Adventist Church only, because this is the only Church of Christ that was ever likened by Him in His parable of the Ten Virgins. Those 144.000 elects of God, therefore, should have come out of the five wise virgins only.

From the fact, however, that among the five wise virgins themselves there are yet some of them having guile in their mouths, then as well as the five wise virgins should have been divided into two categorized people, the one with guile in their mouths on the one side and the other without guile in their mouths on the other side, then the Present Truth believers of Davidian SDA today should have been divided : all the candidates of the 144.000 elects of God on the one side and those Davidian SDA. with guile in their mouth on the other side.

From the fact that during the leadership of Bro. Houteff The Mount Carmel Center and all the people affiliated with it were still in unity of faith. The purity of the message of the Rod and the Spirit of Prophecy were still kept tightly and maintained by the brethren. All the world would have witnessed by itself how the unity of faith and the purity of the message have been safely maintained there.

However in 1954, a year before the humble servant of the Lord died, he had written in the Symbolic Code, the official organ of Davidian SDA Headquarters of the time, among others the following thing here below :

“Now again, with even greater emphasis toward reaching the goal, Mount Carmel Center makes the following announcement to all faithful Davidians who will realize that this good news is perhaps nothing short of a sign. Mount Carmel Center by commencing to first sell its excess property, then the whole, is symbolically leading the way to the program that is outlined by the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy ……… ” – The Symbolic Code Vol. 10, No. 1, page 4.

In the time of Bro. Houteff the Mount Carmel Center had begun to sell a part of the land asset of the Organization. However up to 1955 when he died the Mount Carmel Center did not as yet sell all the asset of the Organization.

However, in 1962, under the leadership of Mrs. Houteff as Vice President, the whole Mount Carmel Center or The General Association of Davidian SDA had been liquidated and sold to the Presbyterian Church, and then dissolved.

Thus was the Presbyterian Church ever since in power over the whole Mount Carmel land for about 30 years up to 1991, wherein the whole asset has again been bought back by those who have named themselves by the General Association of Davidian SDA or the Mount Carmel Center in Waco. Texas up to now. Everyone who is truly honest and intelligent should have questioned : Is the re-establishment of Mount Carmel Center in Waco, Texas in 1991 truly for helping Jesus “to turn His hand upon the little ones“ as those prophesied in Zechariah 13 : 7, or just for representing the Enemy and those unsuspected foes -- professed friends of the gospel -- to deliver their knockout blows upon all those who affiliate with them ? Let us again read carefully the statement by Bro. Houteff here below :

“Everything that can be done against God’s message of today will be done with even a greater vengeance than was manifest against Heaven’s message in the days of Christ’s first advent, for the Devil knows that if he loses now, he loses forever --- that he is to have no other chance. Unparalleled, therefore, is the urgency that every eleventh-hour church member now quickly and solidly brace himself against the Enemy’s effort to deliver a knockout blow. We must be alert, too, to realize that the blow is to come from surprisingly unsuspected foes --- from professed friends of the gospel, who are no less pious than were the priests in Christ’s day. It is, moreover, but to be expected that the Adversary will employ every agency possible to prevent the Lord from disclosing to view His now obscure 144.000 first fruit servants, who are to go gather in the second fruits (Revelation 7 : 9). The Enemy will try everything conceivable to confuse, becloud, and cover up the Truth, especially on the subject of the 144.000.” -- The White House Recruiter, p. 33.

The above statement issued by the servant of the Lord long before he died in 1955. There shall be two times of knockout blows delivered by the Enemy against the staunch followers of Bro. Houteff, who survived the death of their beloved leader ever since 1955. The first blow should have come right from the Enemy, the Old Serpent. But the second blow is to come from surprisingly unsuspected foes --- from professed friends of the gospel, who are no less pious than were the priests in Christ’s day.

Due to the fact that the priests in Christ’s day were of the Sanhedrin Organization of that day, then the professed friends of the gospel would inevitably be the antitypical Sanhedrin of today. They were mentioned by Bro. Houteff as professed friends of the gospel, which means that they are also Davidian SDA workers and staunch followers of Bro. Houteff. That their identities might be clearer, let us first know the result of the first blow delivered by the Enemy as mentioned above. Here is the story :

After the death of the servant of the Lord, Bro. Houteff, the leadership of Mount Carmel Center in Waco, Texas, was then transferred to Mrs. Houteff as Vice President. Ever since that time the fall one after another had befallen the Mount Carmel Center of God, so that at long last in 1962 the whole assets of the Mount Carmel Center should have been sold to Presbyterian Church, who was in power of the whole land of the Mount Carmel location up to 1991. Mrs. Houteff herself was not long ever since became an apostate up to time she died.

And ever since 1991 the Mount Carmel Center was successfully bought back by those who now have been invested with power over the whole assets of the Old Mount Carmel location. And since they regarded themselves as savior to have retrieved the Old Mount Carmel Center of the Lord in 1991, they therefore have revived the name of Mount Carmel Center or General Association of Davidian SDA in Waco, Texas, USA up to the close of probation for the Laodicean in the future.

Thus may it be clear now that after Mrs. Houteff and her fellow workers were fallen through the knockout blows delivered on them by the Enemy, and after the Mount Carmel Center of the Lord was lost into the power of the Enemy, then ever since that time, the following statement of warning by Bro. Houteff will begin to be fulfilled when he said : We must be alert, too, to realize that the blow is to come from surprisingly unsuspected foes --- from professed friends of the gospel, who are no less pious than were the priests in Christ’s day.

We must now be alert too, because they are surprisingly unsuspected foes, because they are professed friends of the same gospel, who are also the followers of Bro. Houteff and his message of the Rod. They even are now leading at the Headquarters of the Mount Carmel Center in Waco, Texas, USA. up to the close of probation for all the Laodiceans.in the future.

Since this warning is applying more in force today than ever before, let us be alert too that those who are now dominating the Mount Carmel Center in Texas have several identities for us to know One of the identities is that they are no less pious than were the priests in Christ’s day, and that is the narrow minded fanaticism or the narrow minded fundamentalism. All these will be identified in several facts as follows :

  1. The ministers and teachers are not allowed to write too much, so that they will not easily fall into sin of adding to or subtracting from the message as of those stipulated in Revelation 22 : 18, 19.

And when there is something to write, the draft or the manuscript of those written must first won the approval of the Biblical Research Committee.

  1. All the publications of the Rod message must be printed in small books according to the size and format of the original copy of the books.
  1. Teachers and ministers are not allowed to teach their message by the use of chart, symbols, and representations of their own made. They are allowed to use only those provided by Bro. Houteff.
  1. The present leadership in Waco, Texas, do not acknowledge the so-called the divinely appointed ministers and teachers, who have been dedicated to the work without laying on of hand. Therefore, they have intentionally omitted the word of God through Mrs. White when she said :

“God will send forth into His vineyard (the Laodicean Church) many who have not been dedicated to the ministry by the laying on of hands.” -- The Acts of the Apostles, p. 110. (In brackets added)

.

After the death of Bro. Houteff,

all his followers would have been scattered

(Zechariah 13 : 6, 7)

After the death of the servant of the Lord Bro. Houteff in 1955, all his followers have then established several Headquarters of General Association of Davidian SDA in several states in America out side the original location of the Mount Carmel in Waco, Texas. USA. Those Headquarters are as follows :

  1. General Association of Davidian SDA in Salem, South Caroline
  2. General Association of Davidian SDA in Elk, Texas
  3. General Association of Davidian SDA in Mountain dale New York
  4. General Association of Davidian SDA in Waco, Texas.
  5. And others

Each of those Mount Carmel Centers mentioned above has named itself : The General Association of Davidian SDA, or The Mount Carmel Center, that consists of more Associations of Davidian SDA under its leadership.

All of them ever since the beginning were honest and true, that they through their new establishment of the Mount Carmel Center, they may continue the work left behind by the servant of the Lord Bro. Houteff after his death. Nevertheless, the good and honest intentions are not enough to please the Lord, because ever since a long time before the Lord God through His servant Zechariah the prophet has ever prophesied for us now living in this time of the end in the following words :

“Awake, O sword against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts : smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered : and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.” --- Zechariah 13 : 7.

That is, after the death of the servant of the Lord, Bro. Houteff, as their shepherd, then the Lord God Himself would have turned His hand upon the little ones. This means that the Lord God would have taken the rein in His own hand, and no more through His Organization. Since there are two peoples here to identify : first the greater ones of those Mount Carmel Centers mentioned above on the one side, and then the little ones of those smaller associations of Davidian SDA, who are now affiliated with those General Associations of Davidian SDA mentioned above, then we may be sure that the Lord God would have nothing more to do with the greater ones of those Mount Carmel Centers mentioned above.
