Time for Action, March 15
Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people
their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
Isaiah 58:1
.
The time has come when things must be called by their right names. The
truth is to triumph gloriously, and those who have long been halting between two
opinions must take their stand decidedly for or against the law of God. Some
will take up with theories that misinterpret the Word of God, and undermine the
foundation of the truth that has been firmly established, point by point, and sealed
by the power of the Holy Spirit. The old truths are to be revived, in order that the
false theories that have been brought in by the enemy may be intelligently met.
There can be no unity between truth and error. We can unite with those who have
been led into deception only when they are converted.
There is a God, and I am commissioned to say that His truth must be vindicated,
that the evil, seductive theories that are coming in may be uprooted. Many minds
have been taken captive, because for years they have placed their confidence in
someone who has prepared a dish of scientific fables to suit their appetite.
We may well be alarmed at the crisis that is upon us. God’s law has been
transgressed, and the result is seen in the misrule and lawlessness that floods the
world. Human lives are regarded as of little value. The spirit of disaffection is
running riot.
The inhabitants of the Noachian world were destroyed because, after being
granted a period of one hundred and twenty years in which to choose between
the evil and the good, they deliberately chose to follow their own wicked ways.
Because they did not avail themselves of the opportunity God gave them to repent
and turn to Him, they were destroyed by the flood.
Once again, before the great destruction of the world by fire, there is granted a
period of test and trial. Men are given opportunity to show whether or not they
will be loyal to God. Satan is seeking to lead men in positions of trust to seek the
regeneration of the world by plans of their own devising. These men desire to
be reformers, but they fail because they do not work in Christ’s lines. Can they
reform others, when they cannot reform themselves? ...
As God’s witnesses, we have a message to bear to all the world. The Lord has
many children who have never heard the truth for this time. God’s servants must
give them the final warning.—
Letter 121, March 15, 1905
, to J. E. White.
