Before the highly anticipated baseball tournament that is being broadcast live worldwide on the MLB Network, ESPN+, and ESPN Deportes, players and fans gathered for a Catholic mass to ask for the protection of Mary. Rome was promoting its Eucharistic mass and Mary to a massive audience at the start of the 2025 Caribbean Baseball Series—an event that brings people together from different backgrounds. Ultimately, their goal was to evangelize and spread the Catholic message to a wide and varied audience.
Science is not a sport – we don’t have winners and losers. *Decisions made by HHS and the many agencies it oversees will impact our collective health, our economic strength and our national security*.
Yes, *Americans are independent people who make a lot of our own decisions regarding what’s best for ourselves and our families, but our health is inextricably linked.* HHS is one of the departments ensuring those connections are managed in ways that can *make us all safer and healthier.*
The calamities by land and sea, *the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous*. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. *The agencies of evil are combining their forces, and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis.* Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and *the final movements will be rapid ones*.—Testimonies, vol. 9, p 11. (1909). Ev 31.5 – Ev 32.1
Aciprensa published the following on February 1, 2025:
• “At the start of the 2025 Caribbean Series, which will pit the best baseball teams from Mexico, the host country, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Japan against each other, a Mass was celebrated, the Blessed Sacrament was exposed and the coronation of the Virgin of Guadalupe was carried out in the stadium that will host the matches.” [1]
• “During the homily of the Mass, Bishop Enrique Sánchez Martínez, Bishop of the Diocese of Mexicali, called for unity, recalling the message of the Virgin of Guadalupe.” [1]
• “The bishop stressed that, despite current challenges, such as ‘atheistic influence, or anti-God, anti-Jesus, anti-Our Lady,’ he said that the Mother of God ‘continues to be for us a message of unity, of communion. She continues to teach that we can overcome differences between us, and that we can build peace and harmony’.” [1]

Some churches will go to great lengths to impose their beliefs on others, even at events that seem far removed from religion, with their beer and alcohol advertising. While many religious groups respect the personal choices of others, these more extreme efforts often blur the line between personal conviction and aggressive proselytization, turning even casual social activities into battlegrounds for religious ideology.
During the period of papal rule from 538 to 1798, the Catholic Church, often backed by the power of various European monarchies, imposed its religion on the people in many ways. The Church also exercised significant political power, influencing laws and rulers to ensure that its doctrines were followed. In the final crisis, religious intolerance will rise again, as it did during the Middle Ages, as churches gain unchecked power and influence over governments. There are active movements today seeking to revive the union of church and state, with religious leaders and politicians working together, setting the stage for a resurgence of tyranny and oppression.
“When our nation shall so abjure the principles of its government as to enact a Sunday law, Protestantism will in this act join hands with popery; it will be nothing else than giving life to the tyranny which has long been eagerly watching its opportunity to spring again into active despotism” (Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 711).
“When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the State to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result” (Great Controversy, p. 445).
“The dignitaries of church and State will unite to bribe, persuade, or compel all classes to honor the Sunday. The lack of divine authority will be supplied by oppressive enactments. Political corruption is destroying love of justice and regard for truth; and even in free America, rulers and legislators, in order to secure public favor, will yield to the popular demand for a law enforcing Sunday observance. Liberty of conscience, which has cost so great a sacrifice, will no longer be respected” (Great Controversy, p. 592).
Until this week’s confirmation hearings for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, health has been overshadowed by other issues. Even the recent news about the pause of communications from HHS and other health agencies has not been top of mind for most people.
[46] But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. [47] Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. [48] If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
John 11 : 46-48
The days in which we live are solemn and important. The Spirit of God is gradually but surely being withdrawn from the earth. Plagues and judgments are already falling upon the despisers of the grace of God. The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. The agencies of evil are combining their forces, and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones.—Testimonies, vol. 9, p 11. (1909). Ev 31.5 – Ev 32.1
But with the confirmation hearings this week, it’s a good time to consider the programs and functions HHS and its secretary oversee and how that work affects citizens across the country. The department’s work affects the young and old, the healthy and sick, the insured and the uninsured.
[6] And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. [7] Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. [8] Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
Daniel 3 : 6-8
The Holy Father expressed appreciation for the title of the conference that, he noted, is from his encyclical Fratelli tuttiand from a 2014 speech addressed to participants in a world meeting of Popular Movements. “On that occasion,” he said: “Solidarity is a word that is not always liked; […] but it is a word that expresses much more than a few sporadic acts of generosity. It is thinking and acting in terms of community, of prioritising the lives of all over the appropriation of goods by a few. It is also to fight against the structural causes of poverty, inequality, lack of work, land and housing, denial of social and labour rights. It is to confront the destructive effects of the empire of money: forced displacement, painful migration, human trafficking, drugs, war, violence […].” “Solidarity, understood in its deepest sense, is a way of making history.” Focusing on the crucial role of the community, he quoted an Italian jurist, Paolo Grossi who said “The community is always a rescue for the weak and gives voice even to those who have no voice at all.”

As a member of the U.S. Cabinet, the secretary of HHS serves as a trusted advisor to the president on the nation’s health and well-being. These decisions and recommendations can have a wide-ranging impact, touching countless aspects of American life.
Wine of Babylon _- Chosen Intruments, Vessels or Temple of God
[1] Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. [2] Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein. [3] Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. Daniel 5 : 1-3 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. Revelation 17 : 2And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Revelation 17 : 5
Unfaithful HHS SERVANTS SMITE BRETHREN
For example, HHS helps provide health insurance for 1 in 3 Americans through Medicare and Medicaid. The Food and Drug Administration and other agencies help ensure the safety of the nation’s food supply, drugs and medical devices. Among other priorities, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention monitors emerging diseases and funds work in communities across the country to make people healthier. The National Institutes of Health funds medical research that seeks cures for a wide range of diseases. Other parts of HHS provide essentials like food for qualified seniors and hearing aids for people with low incomes.
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
2 Kings 1 : 3
The days are fast approaching when there will be great perplexity and confusion. Satan, clothed in angel robes, will deceive, if possible, the very elect. There will be gods many and lords many. Every wind of doctrine will be blowing. Those who have rendered supreme homage to “science falsely so called” will not be the leaders then. Those who have trusted to intellect, genius, or talent will not then stand at the head of rank and file. They did not keep pace with the light. Those who have proved themselves unfaithful will not then be entrusted with the flock.In the last solemn work few great men will be engaged. They are self-sufficient, independent of God, and He cannot use them. The Lord has faithful servants, who in the shaking, testing time will be disclosed to view. There are precious ones now hidden who have not bowed the knee to Baal 5T 80.1
Testimonies for the Church 5 by Ellen G White
[1] If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, [2] And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; [3] Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. [4] Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. Deuteronomy 13 : 1-4
The Health department agency oversees 13 divisions with 10 regional offices,_- Role of Robert F. Kennedy Jr
In all, the department oversees 13 divisions with 10 regional offices that in total employ more than 80,000 workers. And the HHS secretary is the quarterback — coordinating plays between federal, state and local authorities, and setting policy that helps address current health needs and future threats.
The agency is the nation’s largest grantmaker, with a significant amount of federal funding supporting programs at the state and local levels, including Medicaid costs, block grants states use for a variety of programs and emergency funding for things like infectious diseases, natural disasters and opioid programs.
Last Wars and Rumors of Consolidation of Agencies
The impact of HHS goes well beyond health, impacting education, labor, housing and nutrition through partnership with agencies including the Department of Education and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The work of HHS — and its leader — demonstrates how deeply interconnected the factors that shape our nation’s health are, and how much they depend on shared responsibility and shared purpose.
The calamities by land and sea, the unsettled state of society, the alarms of war, are portentous. They forecast approaching events of the greatest magnitude. The agencies of evil are combining their forces, and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones.—Testimonies, vol. 9, p 11. (1909). Ev 31.5 – Ev 32.1
A cough or a sneeze in the Northeast can quickly become a problem in the Southwest.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
Jeremiah 25 : 32
Consider this: when COVID-19 hit, hospitals in some regions quickly became overwhelmed, leading to resource shortages elsewhere. Supply chain issues from manufacturers in one place made it hard for rural clinics and urban hospitals across the nation to get basic protective equipment for staff. We saw firsthand how the health of one community can quickly ripple across the country. A cough or a sneeze in the Northeast can quickly become a problem in the Southwest.
All these are the beginning of sorrows.” While these prophecies received a partial fulfillment at the destruction of Jerusalem, they have a more direct application to the last days. We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecy is fast fulfilling. The Lord is at the door. There is soon to open before us a period of overwhelming interest to all living. The controversies of the past are to be revived; new controversies will arise. The scenes to be enacted in our world are not yet even dreamed of. Satan is at work through human agencies. Those who are making an effort to change the Constitution and secure a law enforcing Sunday observance little realize what will be the result. A crisis is just upon us. But God’s servants are not to trust to themselves in this great emergency. 5T 753.1 – 5T 753.3
Testimonies for the Church vol 5 by Ellen G White
A public health crisis, much like a hurricane or wildfire, is never just someone else’s problem. A suspected act of bioterrorism in Michigan would launch simultaneous conversations about surveillance, preparedness and containment in other states. A measles or bird flu outbreak in Texas would raise alarms across the country.
“Solidarity, understood in its deepest sense, is a way of making history.” Focusing on the crucial role of the community, he quoted an Italian jurist, Paolo Grossi who said “The community is always a rescue for the weak and gives voice even to those who have no voice at all.”
Pope’s Fratelli Tutti Doctrine
Yes, Americans are independent people who make a lot of our own decisions regarding what’s best for ourselves and our families, but our health is inextricably linked. HHS is one of the departments ensuring those connections are managed in ways that can make us all safer and healthier.
Pope’s Common Good Synodality Doctrinal Disease
Discussions about health funding, policy and agency leadership aren’t just political debates happening in Washington, D.C. When a child receives routine vaccinations at a community clinic, or a senior in a rural area gets a meal delivered, HHS is behind the scenes, funding and coordinating these critical efforts. In fact, it’s not an exaggeration to say that decisions made by the administration, and especially HHS leaders, will have a direct impact on the lives of every American across the country.
Science is not a sport – we don’t have winners and losers. Decisions made by HHS and the many agencies it oversees will impact our collective health, our economic strength and our national security.
She soon began to wonder “how to use finance as a tool to create more equitable outcomes, more beautiful communities, more relationships rooted in solidarity.”
Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. Deuteronomy 5 : 32

Editor’s Note: This is an updated version of an essay that originally appeared in the spring-summer edition of ImagineOne, a publication of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph.
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 : 15
In May 2019, Pope Francis invited young economists and entrepreneurs from all over the world to brainstorm ways of making the global economy more responsive to the poor and to the planet. He called for “a different kind of economy: one that brings life not death, one that is inclusive and not exclusive, humane and not dehumanizing, one that cares for the environment and does not despoil it.”
[1] Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. [2] Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up. [3] Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. [4] Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, [5] That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up: [6] And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Daniel 3 : 1-6
And so the Economy of Francesco was born. Since its founding, the initiative has challenged and inspired thousands of young economists and entrepreneurs from all over the world to create a new economic paradigm that values the Earth and Earth’s people and not only financial profit.
A New Economic Paradigm Order – NWO
Elizabeth Garlow is one of the young economists whom Francis inspired. She is the co-founder of the Francesco Collaborative which “partners with faith-based investors to reimagine an investment practice anchored in Catholic Social Teaching.” As an economics major at Kalamazoo College, Garlow became disillusioned with the underlying assumptions of her traditional economics courses. She had grown up in a staunchly Catholic family and wondered if there could be “a different way of thinking about how we structure and build an economy … how we produce and provide for one another.”
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
These wonderings led to a three-month sojourn to Argentina and Brazil for her senior thesis researching an initiative begun by the Italian lay Catholic Focolare Movement, the Economy of Communion. In South America Garlow was deeply moved by an experience of being embedded with business leaders “who were making decisions to create enterprises that centered other kinds of values … their primary purpose was not to maximize shareholder wealth.”
After graduating, Garlow spent time in Italy with Focolare learning more about alternative financing models. When she returned home, she worked with several creative nonprofits serving marginalized people who had difficulty accessing traditional sources of credit. She soon began to wonder “how to use finance as a tool to create more equitable outcomes, more beautiful communities, more relationships rooted in solidarity.”
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Genesis 3 : 6

(Courtesy of Congregation of St. Joseph)
Explore financial products that more closely align individual investments to a “faith first” approach while making a responsible profit. For example, explore sustainable banking from the Laudato Si Action Platform. Garlow also suggests exploring groups like Carbon Collective, Just Futures,Green Retirement and For Us All as you consider how to invest retirement savings.
In his encyclical “Laudato Si’, on Care for Our Common Home,” Pope Francis identified critical issues facing our global family, saying: “The urgent challenge to protect our common home includes a concern to bring the whole human family together to seek a sustainable and integral development, for we know things can change.”
“For we know things can change,” says our pope.
My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:
Proverbs 24 : 21
Will you join our visionary young economists in creating a new economic paradigm so that all Earth’s peoples may become the change we seek?
We are to be as men waiting for their Lord, not in idle expectancy, but in earnest work, with unwavering faith. It is no time now to allow our minds to be engrossed with things of minor importance.
While men are sleeping, Satan is actively arranging matters so that the Lord’s people may not have mercy or justice. The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness.
The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger. 5T 452.1

The Roman Church, with all its ramifications throughout the world, forms one vast organization, under the control, and designed to serve the interests, of the papal see. Its millions of communicants, in every country on the globe, are instructed to hold themselves as bound in allegiance to the pope. Whatever their nationality or their government, they are to regard the authority of the church as above all other. Though they may take the oath pledging their loyalty to the State, yet back of this lies the vow of obedience to Rome, absolving them from every pledge inimical to her interests.
Protestants little know what they are doing when they propose to accept the aid of Rome in the work of Sunday exaltation. While they are bent upon the accomplishment of their purpose, Rome is aiming to re-establish her power, to recover her lost supremacy. Let history testify of her artful and persistent efforts to insinuate herself into the affairs of nations; and having gained a foothold, to further her own aims, even at the ruin of princes and people. Romanism openly puts forth the claim that the pope “can pronounce sentences and judgments in contradiction to the right of nations, to the law of God and man.” [The “Decretalia.”] And let it be remembered, it is the boast of Rome that she never changes. The principles of Gregory VII. and Innocent III. are still the principles of the Romish Church. And had she but the power, she would put them in practice with as much vigor now as in past centuries. Let the principle once be established in the United States, that the church may employ or control the power of the State; that religious observances may be enforced by secular laws; in short, that the authority of church and State is to dominate the conscience, and the triumph of Rome in this country is assured.
God’s Word has given warning of the impending danger; let this be unheeded, and the Protestant world will learn what the purposes of Rome really are, only when it is too late to escape the snare. She is silently growing into power. Her doctrines are exerting their influence in legislative halls, in the churches, and in the hearts of men. She is piling up her lofty and massive structures, in the secret recesses of which her former persecutions will be repeated. Stealthily and unsuspectedly she is strengthening her forces to further her own ends when the time shall come for her to strike. All that she desires is vantage-ground, and this is already being given her. We shall soon see and shall feel what the purpose of the Roman element is. Whoever shall believe and obey the Word of God will thereby incur reproach and persecution. GC88 580.1 – GC88 581.1
[25] See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: [26] Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. [27] And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. [28] Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: [29] For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12 : 25-29
God has promised that where the shepherds are not true He will take charge of the flock Himself. God has never made the flock wholly dependent upon human instrumentalities. But the days of purification of the church are hastening on apace. God will have a people pure and true. In the mighty sifting soon to take place we shall be better able to measure the strength of Israel. The signs reveal that the time is near when the Lord will manifest that His fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor. The days are fast approaching when there will be great perplexity and confusion. Satan, clothed in angel robes, will deceive, if possible, the very elect. There will be gods many and lords many. Every wind of doctrine will be blowing. Those who have rendered supreme homage to “science falsely so called” will not be the leaders then. 5T 79.4 – 5T 80.1
Satan delights in war, for it excites the worst passions of the soul and then sweeps into eternity its victims steeped in vice and blood. It is his object to incite the nations to war against one another, for he can thus divert the minds of the people from the work of preparation to stand in the day of God.
Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. GC 589.1 – GC 589.2
The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan by Ellen G White
Those who hold fast their faith unto the end will come forth from the furnace of trial as fine gold seven times purified. Of this work the prophet Isaiah says, “I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.” [Isaiah 13:12.] When in trouble, remember that faith tried in the furnace of affliction is more precious than gold tried with fire. Remember that there is One watching every movement, to see when the last particle of dross is taken away from your character. It is then that you are counted more precious than the golden wedge of Ophir. By hiding with Christ in God, fallen man reaches this state of purity.
Those who love the riches of this world should remember that faith in Christ is more precious than gold; for gold perishes. The saints of the living God have a glorious hope, the fruition of which is a life of immortality. I am so grateful for a sure hope of eternal life. 16LtMs, Ms 110, 1901, par. 26 – 16LtMs, Ms 110, 1901, par. 27
[6] In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. [7] Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. Psalm 18 : 6-7
The season of distress and anguish before us will require a faith that can endure weariness, delay, and hunger—a faith that will not faint though severely tried. The period of probation is granted to all to prepare for that time. Jacob prevailed because he was persevering and determined. His victory is an evidence of the power of importunate prayer. All who will lay hold of God’s promises, as he did, and be as earnest and persevering as he was, will succeed as he succeeded GC 621.2
Wake up, my brethren and sisters! There is a great work to be done. Unceasing activity is called for. Darkness has covered the earth, and gross darkness the people. Many are far from Christ, wandering in the wilderness of sin. God calls upon His people to shake off their careless indifference, and take up the work waiting for them. Let them commune with Him, that they may be imbued with His Spirit. Then let them go forth to bestow on those in need the grace they have received.
The coming of Christ is nearer than when we first believed. The great controversy is nearing its end. Already God’s judgments have begun to call. How frequently we hear of earthquakes and tornadoes, of destruction by fire and flood, with great loss of life and property. Apparently these calamities are capricious outbreaks of seemingly disorganized, unregulated forces, but in them God’s purpose may be read. They are one of the means by which He seeks to arouse men and women to a sense of their danger. 17LtMs, Ms 242, 1902, par. 1 – 17LtMs, Ms 242, 1902, par. 3
The commercial work that has been brought in has been corrupting in its influence and has changed the whole atmosphere of the office. God designed that the institution should be a place where angels could preside. But men have defiled it. They have used strange fire instead of the sacred fire of God’s kindling. Thus they have co-operated with the enemy of souls. 18LtMs, Ms 12, 1903, par. 7
Those entrusted with the stewardship of the Lord’s goods have dealt as worldlings deal, and God has been dishonored. There are those who have advanced step by step in unrighteousness, notwithstanding that God has sent them continual warnings. They cared for none of these things. To be checked or interfered with caused hatred to spring up in their hearts against those who tried to stop them in their course of selfishness and greed. They will gain nothing by their effort. The Lord will not prosper their transactions, but will bring them to naught. “Thus saith the Lord, He that being often reproved, hardeneth his heart, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. I have spoken by My servants, and they would not; I will now speak by My judgments, by purifying fires, and if they do not then repent, I will speak to them by still greater afflictions. If they will be true to principle, if they will represent Christ in character, if they will put away all fraud and all sharp practices, I will hear their prayer. But the prayers of evil workers will I not hear. I will come close to them in judgment. I will turn and overturn. In no case will those who lend themselves to selfishness see the kingdom of God, unless they repent, and that right early.” In clear, distinct rays, light has been shining upon the people of God. But many have not been benefited. They have mingled with sacred things that which God detests. They have violated their baptismal vows. They have not kept their promise to come out from the world and be separate and touch not the unclean thing. They have spoken words of deceit, swearing falsely. They have made idols of themselves. God declares, “Had they adhered steadfastly to My service, I should have co-operated with them, and My peace and grace should have been with them, while they served Me with singleness of purpose. But they turned aside from My counsel, leaving undone the very work that they ought to have done. My work was made second.” Means was spent to obtain facilities for the doing of commercial work. The time and talents of the workers were used in this work. But when it was done, what profit was it to the work of God? The commercial work that has been brought in has been corrupting in its influence and has changed the whole atmosphere of the office. God designed that the institution should be a place where angels could preside. But men have defiled it. They have used strange fire instead of the sacred fire of God’s kindling. Thus they have co-operated with the enemy of souls. God says, I cannot work with iniquitous plans. Your only hope now is to sow to yourselves in righteousness, that you may reap in mercy. “Break up the fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until He come and rain righteousness upon you. Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies; because thou didst trust in thy ways, in the multitude of thy mighty men.” [Hosea 10:12, 13.] “When Israel was a child then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt. … I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. I drew them with the cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them. … The sword shall abide in his cities, and shall consume his branches and devour them, because of their own counsels. And my people are bent to backsliding from Me, though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt Him.” [Hosea 11:1, 3, 4, 6, 7.] 18LtMs, Ms 12, 1903, par. 2 – 18LtMs, Ms 12, 1903, par. 9
Israelis are expressing mixed feelings of “joy” and “deep sadness” as the first hostages released by Hamas return home, FRANCE 24’s Noga Tarnopolsky said, reporting from Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square. An Israeli whose nephew was killed in the October 7 attacks hailed the return of the three female hostages, saying: “our daughters are coming back”, adding “it’s a historic and exciting moment”.

I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be? Jeremiah 13 : 27
Thousands who profess to be Christians give heed to lying spirits. Everywhere the spirit of darkness in the garb of religion will confront you. If all that appears to be divine life were such in reality; if all who profess to present the truth to the world were preaching for the truth and not against it, and if they were men of God guided by His Spirit,—then might we see something cheering amid the prevailing moral darkness. But the spirit of antichrist is prevailing to such an extent as never before. Well may we exclaim: “Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.” I know that many think far too favorably of the present time. These ease-loving souls will be engulfed in the general ruin. Yet we do not despair. We have been inclined to think that where there are no faithful ministers there can be no true Christians, but this is not the case. God has promised that where the shepherds are not true He will take charge of the flock Himself. God has never made the flock wholly dependent upon human instrumentalities.But the days of purification of the church are hastening on apace. God will have a people pure and true. In the mighty sifting soon to take place we shall be better able to measure the strength of Israel. The signs reveal that the time is near when the Lord will manifest that His fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor. 5T 79.3 – 5T 79.4

The days are fast approaching when there will be great perplexity and confusion. Satan, clothed in angel robes, will deceive, if possible, the very elect. There will be gods many and lords many. Every wind of doctrine will be blowing. Those who have rendered supreme homage to “science falsely so called” will not be the leaders then. Those who have trusted to intellect, genius, or talent will not then stand at the head of rank and file. They did not keep pace with the light. Those who have proved themselves unfaithful will not then be entrusted with the flock. In the last solemn work few great men will be engaged. They are self-sufficient, independent of God, and He cannot use them. The Lord has faithful servants, who in the shaking, testing time will be disclosed to view. There are precious ones now hidden who have not bowed the knee to Baal. They have not had the light which has been shining in a concentrated blaze upon you. But it may be under a rough and uninviting exterior the pure brightness of a genuine Christian character will be revealed. In the day time we look toward heaven but do not see the stars. They are there, fixed in the firmament, but the eye cannot distinguish them. In the night we behold their genuine luster. The time is not far distant when the test will come to every soul. The mark of the beast will be urged upon us. Those who have step by step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to worldly customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death. The contest is between the commandments of God and the commandments of men. 5T 80.1 – 5T 81.1
