THE VOICE OF GOD

The Scattered Ones in Dens and Caverns Are Made Glad at the Voice of God. "Before the glory of Him who is to reign, the mountains will tremble and bow, the rocks will be moved out of their places, for once more will the Lord shake, not alone the earth, but the heavens also. The scattered ones, who have fled for their lives to the rocks, the dens, the caverns of the earth, because of the fury of the oppressor, will be made glad at the voice of God. .

As Christ Strengthened John, So Will He Strengthen His Terror-stricken Saints at His Second Coming.- "The child of God will be terror-stricken at the first sight of the majesty of Jesus Christ. He feels that he cannot live in His holy presence. But the word comes to him, as to John, 'Fear not.' Jesus laid His right hand upon John. He raised him up from his prostrate position. So will He do unto His loyal, trusting ones, for there are greater revelations of the glory of God to be given them. .

Effects of the Second Coming on the Lost. "There is also to be revelation to the transgressors of the law of Jehovah—they who made void the law of God, who have taken their stand on the side of him who thought to change times and laws. From the terror-stricken myriads come the cry, 'The great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand.' (Revelation 6:17)."Manuscript 56, 1886, pp. 5-7. ("Traveling in Switzerland, " May 21, 1886).

The Covenant Will be Brought Forth. "When every case is decided in the courts of heaven, this covenant, [the ten commandments) will be brought forth, plainly written with the finger of God. The world will be arraigned before the bar of Infinite Justice to receive sentence—a life measuring with the life of God for obedience, and death for transgression." Manuscript 82, 1899, p. 10. ("In the Master's Service, " May 21, 1899).

The Heaviest Judgments Will Fall on the False Shepherds. - "And upon those who have taken upon them the work of shepherds of the flock will be visited the heaviest judgments, because they have presented to the people fables instead of truth. Children will rise up and curse their parents. Church members, who have seen the light and [have) been convicted, but who have trusted the salvation of their souls to the minister, will learn in the day of God that no other soul can pay the ransom for their transgression. A terrible cry will be raised, 'I am lost, eternally lost.

The Ire of the Lost Against Their False Shepherds. "Men will feel as though they could rend in pieces the ministers who have preached falsehoods and condemned the truth. The pure truth for this time requires a reformation in the life, but they separated themselves from the love of the truth, and of them it can be said, '0 Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself' (Hosea 13:9). The Lord sends a message to the people, 'Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed My covenant, and trespassed against My law' (Hosea 8:1)."-Letter 30, 1900, pp. 5-6. (To "Brother and Sister Hickox," February 25, 1900). [See also: TBC 167.]

Revelation 18:1-3 Will be Fulfilled When God Arises to Shake Terribly the Earth. "What terrible scenes will take place when the Lord shall arise to shake terribly the earth. Then the words of Revelation 18:1-3 [the announcement that Babylon is fallen] will be fulfilled. The whole of the eighteenth chapter of revelation is a warning of what is coming on the earth. But I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York, only that I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning of God's power. From the light given me, I know that destruction is in the world. One word from the Lord, one touch of His mighty power, and those massive structures will fall. Scenes will take place, the fearfulness of which we cannot imagine." Letter 176, 1903, pp. 4-5. (To H. W. Kellogg, August 9, 1903). [See also: Ev 387-8; PM 280-1.}

God Will Protect His Believing Ones During the Convulsions of Nature Preceding the Advent. "Before the Son of man appears in the clouds of heaven, everything in nature will be convulsed. Lightning from heaven, uniting with fire in the earth, will cause the mountains to burn like a furnace, and pour out their floods of lava over villages and cities. Molten masses of rock [will] cause the water to boil, and they will send forth rocks and earth. There will be mighty earthquakes and great destruction of human life. But as in the days of the great deluge, Noah was preserved in the ark that God had prepared for Him, so in these last days of destruction a calamity, God will be the refuge of His believing ones." Letter 248, 1907, pp. 2-4. (To J. E. White and wife, August 16, 1907). [See also: IMCP 22-3.}

Satan Wants to Revive Slavery. "I am instructed to say to our people throughout the cities of the South, Let everything be done under the direction of the Lord. The work is nearing its close. We are nearer the end than when we first believed. Satan is doing his best to block. the progress of the message. He is putting forth efforts to bring about the enactment of a Sunday law that will result in slavery in the Southern field and will close the door to the observance of the true Sabbath; which God has given to men to keep holy. The law, which He came down from heaven to Mt. Sinai to proclaim, is to be observed by all who would identify themselves with the people of God." Letter 6, 1909, p. 2. (To J. E. White, January 1, 1909).

TEN COMMANDMENTS OPENED

In the Day of Judgment the Tables of God's Law Will Condemn the Lost. "Ministers have taught the people that the law of God is not binding. But God certainly does not say so, and in the day of judgment that law, written with the finger of God on tables of stone, will condemn all impenitent transgressors." -Manuscript 33, 1900. pp. 5, 6, 8-10, 18. ("Unfaithful Shepherds, " June 25, 1900). [See also: CG 513.}

These Tables Are in Heaven. "There is a sanctuary, and in that sanctuary is the ark, and in the ark are the tables of stone, on which is written the law spoken from Sinai amidst scenes of awful grandeur. These tables of stone are in the heavens, and they will be brought forth in that day when the judgment shall sit and the books shall be opened, and men shall be judged according to the things written in the books. They will be judged by the law written by the finger of God, and given to Moses to be deposited in the ark. A record is kept of the deeds of all men, and according to his works will every man receive sentence, whether they be good, or whether they be evil." Manuscript 20, 1906, pp. 8-9. ("Preach the Word," February 7, 1906). [See also: Ev 616-17; PM 224-5.]

They Are to be Brought Forth When Sentence Is Pronounced.- "In my books the truth is stated, barricaded by a 'Thus saith the Lord.' The Holy Spirit traced these truths upon my heart and mind as indelibly as the law was traced by the finger of God upon the tables of stone, which are now in the ark, to be brought forth in that great day when sentence is pronounced against every evil, seducing science produced by the father of lies." Letter 90, 1906, p. 6. (To The Brethren Assembled in Council at Graysville, Tennessee, March 6, 1906).

If you are a sufferer of obesity and would like more information on simple and healthy weight loss programs, please contact us at our office or drop us an email at the above address.

Please be assured that the information you give us will be kept confidential.

RESTORING PROPER WEIGHT SEDENTARY LIFESTYLES ARE A MAJOR FACTOR

One of the most important factors leading to obesity is a sedentary or inactive lifestyle.

Obesity is seen more today because we are less active than we used to be. We spend all our spare time indoors, either in front of the computer or the TV. Very few people walk today.

There is no time to cook healthy and fresh food as lives are becoming busier day by day. So more people opt for eating at restaurants and buy prepared food to heat up at home. Those foods have more fatty ingredients than homemade food.

COMBATING OBESITY

The best way to combat obesity is to maintain a healthy weight by exercising regularly and indulging in healthy food joints) that normally protects them. Weight loss can decrease stress on the knees, hips, and lower back and may improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Gout is a joint disease caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. Uric acid sometimes forms into solid stone or crystal masses that become deposited in the joints. Gout is more common in overweight people

and the risk of developing the disorder increases with higher body weights.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM O V E RWE I G H T O ROBESE?

You can determine this by using an easy calculation called the Body Mass Index, or BMI. BMI = weight (kg) / height (m) x height (m) For example: 70 kg/ 1.75m x 1.75m = 22 which is a perfectly

healthy BMI. habits. 30 to 60 minutes of exercise on most days is a must to stay active. Walking, swimming and stretching are also great options to burn calories.

Going outside for walks, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking or cycling to instead of driving, doing household chores like sweeping and washing clothes can help in keeping fit to a certain extent.

HAVING A HEALTHY DIET

The second thing is to regulate one's food habits. Dieting is okay, but a safer choice is to eat healthily and change your lifestyle. Avoid drinks with sugar, junk food, and processed foods such as fries. The ideal thing to do is to eat only when hungry, and avoid binging. A healthy breakfast, followed by lunch, and then a light dinner/ supper helps regulate food intake. Its good to eat fruits, and one should always keep at least one seasonal fruit in the daily diet chart.

HOW IS THIS FALSE MARY UNITING THE WORLD?

As we have just seen, Mary worship is hidden worship of Isis (Semiramis). So then why does the whole world worship her if there is no scripture to do so, and many scriptures that forbad Idol worship? The answer is through SIGNS AND WONDERS! The Bible says: Gal, 3:13

Heb. 2:8, 9

2 Cor. 5:21

Acts 3:19

1 John. 1:9

Rom. 8:1

John. 1:12

JESUS bore our curse.

JESUS experienced death for us

JESUS became sin (took its penalty for us.)

As we confess, HE forgives us.

As we confess, HE pardons us.

Receiving JESUS, we are no longer condemned.

As we receive HIM by faith we become sons of God.

Statements on Mary by Catholic saints

Quote: ...He falls and is lost who has not recourse to Mary. Mary is called the gate of heaven because no one can enter that blessed kingdom without passing through her. The way to salvation is open to none otherwise than through Mary... The salvation of all depends on their being favored and protected by Mary. He who is protected by Mary will be saved: he who is not will be lost... Our salvation depends on thee.. God will not save us without the intercession of Mary...

Dave Hunt; A Woman Rides the Beast. p. 438

NOTE: WOW! The Bible does not say anything about Mary saving us. But as you can see from the scriptures above, that Jesus is the only intercessor and savior. You can only be saved through HIM, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Quote: 829 " But while in the most blessed Virgin the Church has already reached that perfection whereby she exists without spot or wrinkle, the faithful still strive to conquer sin and increase in holiness. And so they turn their eyes to Mary"..in her, the Church is already the "all-holy."

II Devotion to the Blessed Virgin

971 "All generations will call me blessed" The church's devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship." The Church rightly honours "the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honoured with the title of "Mother of God", to whose protection the faithful fly in all their danger and needs... This very special devotion... differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration. The liturgical feast dedicated in the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosery, an "epitome of the whole Gospel," express this devotion to the Virgin Mary.

Catechism of Catholic Doctrine

Here are some devotional shrines made to worship Mary

The Mary Movement

This is St. Maximilian Maria Kolby, founder of the Knights of the Immaculata. There aim is to further the cause of Mary.

Visions of Mary

Quote: " The woman" Eve had a decisive role in the fall of mankind, through her disobedience to God and desire to exalt herself. "The woman" Mary has a decisive role in the salvation of mankind, through her obedience to God...

Pope Paul VI, in his 1967 encyclical, Signun Magnum, identified the Lady of Fatima as the Biblical representation of the Woman clothed with the sun.

"I am the Virgin of Revelation"

Thunder of Justice, 1993. p 88. 89

NOTE: We have already seen that the Woman of Revelations and the Woman clothed with the sun is the church, not Mary.

Worshiping the true Creator

REV 14:6 And I saw another angle fly in the midst of Heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of water.

NOTE: These scriptures are saying that there will be an end time Church that will stand up for truth and hold fast to the everlasting gospel and is calling the whole world to worship the Creator and not the creation.

THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL OR APPARITIONS

The theologian Karl Rahner has pointed out that we are moved much more readily and effectively by those divine interventions that we call apparitions than by abstract teachings of knowledgeable theologians or the hierarchy of the Church.

R. Vincent, Please Come Back to Me and My Son, Ireland's Eye, Ireland, 1992, p. 7.

NOTE: The Bible and the miracles of Jesus has been thrown aside, and has been taken over by apparitions (signs and wonders)

In 1950, renowned Catholic churchman Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen wrote: "We are living in the day of the Apocalypse- the last days of our era...The two greatest forces of the Mystical Body of the Antichrist are beginning to draw up their battle lines for the catastrophic contest."

R.Vincent, Pleaase Come to Me and My Son, Ireland's Eye, Ireland, 1992, p, p. 15.

Mary: Armageddon "I am now announcing to you that this is the time of the decisive battle."

The Thunder of Justice, Ted and Maureen Flynn, The Thunder of Justice (MaxKol Communications, Inc,1993, p.90).

Pope Leo XIII had a vision of a confrontation between God and Satan. Pope Leo was made to understand that Satan would be allowed one hundred years to attempt and try to destroy the Church. In the vision, Satan chose for his one hundred years the Twentieth Century. He is full of furious activity, for he knows that his time is short.

The main issue

Apparition of the blessed Virgin on Mountain of LaSalette, France.

"If my people do not wish to submit themselves , I am forced to let go of the hand of my Son. It is so heavy and weighs me down so mush I can no longer keep hold of it.

I have suffered all the time for the rest of you! If you do not wish my Son to abandon you, I must take it upon myself to pray for this continually. And the rest of you think little of this. In vain you will pray , in vain you will act, you will never be able to make up for the troubles I have taken over for the rest of you.

I gave you six days to work, I kept the seventh for my self, and no one wishes to grant it to me. This is what weighs down the arm of my Son so much

NOTE: The issue is the Sabbath. On one side you have the follower of Jesus and keep His day, "Saturday" and on the other side the followers of Mary whom worship on Sunday.

Catholic Visionaries and Predictions

"Only a very distracted and unaware Christian of today could have avoided receiving at least a fleeting impression, by the "long hot summer" of 1993, that for a number of years now there has been a steady build-up of events-in the broadest sense of that word -all of which indicate that humanity as a whole and the Holy Roman Catholic Church in particular have reached a fateful threshold beyond which lies a new condition of human affairs"..... Visions, Appearances, Messages, Predictions, Warnings, Interpretations, Weeping statues and bleeding icons, Miraculous spring waters, Spontaneous cures, Spinning dances of the sun, and eclipses of the moon, Little children tell the future, Uneducated men and women instructing popes and president, Nationwide publicity tours by bearers of special revelations. Throughout all of this, an obvious emphasis on the singular role of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Nazareth as the Queen of Heaven, Mother of All the Living, and - not surprisingly- as the Mediatrix of All Graces is pervasive.

But such exultancy is soberly contrasted with the other side of this century's carnage. For this is a century that has witnessed and is still witnessing scenes of unmitigated horrors. The industrial slaughter of planned wars, of literally millions of men, women and children killed. The wiping out - sometimes as it were, overnight, of mighty empires. An ever widening ripple of infanticide running to well over a billion in the last fifty years. A ever climbing number of fratricidal wars 245, at the date of this writing, are in progress.

Waves of tortures and persecutions on all five continents. A continual stream of natural disasters without known parallel in human history as we know it. This world scene is overhung by a generalized economic depression, and the clear emergence of an as yet skeletal one-world government that is professionally secular, frighteningly dangerous for human liberty, and in dim outline resembles George Orwell's portrait of "Big Brother" in his 1984 scenario.

Dictated Messages

Father Gobbi:

Starting in July 1973, Fr. Gobbi began to write down these interior locutions he was receiving. The messages now number over 600 and are published in the book entitled, "To the Priests, our Lady's Beloved Sons."

Quotes from the book:

That they be Faithful to the Pope and to the Church united with him, by a total obedience to his commands, anticipating and seconding his desires, spreading his teaching, defending him from every attack, ready to fight even to the shedding of their blood in order to remain united to him and faithful to the Gospel. There will soon come a time when only those who are with the Pope will succeed in keeping the faith of my Son and being preserved from the great apostasy that will be spread everywhere.

Our Blessed Mother told us through Father Gobbi in a message given September 18, 1988, that we have a period of ten years-ten decisive years: "In this period of ten years there will come to completion the time of the great tribulation, which has been foretold to you in Holy Scriptures, before the Second Coming of Jesus. In this period of ten years the mystery of iniquity, prepared for by the ever increasing spread of apostasy will become manifest. In this period of ten years all the secrets which have been foretold to you by me will take place."

The Thunder of Justice

NOTE: This was written in 1988, and Gobbi said in ten years it will be complete. In 1999 the Vatican completed writing its encyclicals, including its Sunday encyclical.
