I'm from Lawton Seventh-day Adventist Church. 15:35:15 In Lawton, Oklahoma. Today, I'm going to be talking about why I believe. 15:35:21 This is the time. That Ellen White said to leave the cities. 15:35:28 I'm gonna go through a couple of her quotes. Um, I'm going to be paraphrasing a lot of. 15:35:33 Things that people have as common knowledge. Um, so let's start with a word of prayer. 15:35:40 Eternal God, please help me speak. Clearly, so people can understand. Please help me. 15:35:48 To articulate what you want me to do, and say. Please, God, help me not to do the things I shouldn't do, going off in rabbit holes and tangences. 15:35:58 Please, help me keep this. To the point. In the name of Jesus Christ. 15:36:03 Amen. Okay. Um…. 15:36:08 I believe there is a difference. Between Ellen White's time's warning to leave the cities. 15:36:16 And today's time. To leave the cities. Um…. 15:36:22 So, let's look at…. This book, this… this quote. 15:36:30 Um, it is a compilation book. I don't like taking things from the compilation, so I will show you. 15:36:37 In the other…. Besides leave large cities. 15:36:43 So let's just listen to this. Um, through the reader, and here we go. 15:36:50 Oh, let's move me down here. Here we go. 15:36:55 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet. 15:37:00 Stand in the holy place, whoso readeth, let him understand then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains. 15:37:06 Matthew 24 colon 15, 16. The time is not far distant, when, like the early disciples, we shall be forced to seek a refuge in desolate and solitary places. 15:37:17 As the siege of Jerusalem by the Roman armies was the signal for flight to the Judean Christians, so the assumption of power on the part of our nation the United States in the decree enforcing the papal Sabbath will be a warning to us. 15:37:29 It will then be time to leave the large cities, preparatory to leaving the smaller ones for retired homes in secluded places among the mountains.53 Testimonies for the church 5 colon 464-465. 15:37:42 Four years I have been given special light that we are not to center our work in the cities. 15:37:47 The turmoil and confusion that fill these cities, the conditions brought about by the labor unions and the strikes. 15:37:52 Would prove a great hindrance to our work. Men are seeking to bring those engaged in the different trades under bondage to certain unions. 15:37:59 This is not God's planning, but the planning of a power that we should in no wise acknowledge. 15:38:04 God's Word is fulfilling, the wicked are binding themselves up in bundles ready to be burned.54 testimonies for the church 7 colon 84. 15:38:13 The trades unions and confederacies of the world are a snare. 15:38:16 Keep out of them, and away from them, brethren. Have nothing to do with them. Because of these unions and confederacies, it will soon be very difficult for our institutions to carry on their work in the cities. 15:38:27 Educate our people to get out of the cities into the country, where they can obtain a small piece of land, and make a home for themselves and their children. 15:38:36 There along there will be such strife and confusion in the cities, that those who wish to leave them will not be able.55 selected messages 2 colon 142. 15:38:44 We are not to locate ourselves where we will be forced into close relations with those who do not honor God. 15:38:50 A crisis is soon to come in regard to the observance of Sunday. 15:38:53 The Sunday party is strengthening itself in its false claims, and this will mean oppression to those who determine to keep the Sabbath of the Lord. 15:39:00 If in the providence of God we can secure places away from the cities, the Lord would have us do this. 15:39:06 There are true blues times before us.56 Country Living, 20, 21. 15:39:14 Okay, um….
