2022, 2023, My Apology For 2024 | Image of the Beast | Conrad Vine | Daniel 8 | 7 Thunders

On October 3, 2023, I published a 2-part YouTube series entitled: “Behold, The Bridegroom Cometh.” In Part 1 of that series, I shared my opinion that based on my study of prophecy and the Jewish Economy, I believed certain events would have taken place by now and they have not. After the Great Disappointment in 1844, there were a few faithful Bible students that continued to fast, pray and study for an explanation of what had taken place, and as I have continued to do the same, there are 2 errors in that video that I need to explain. However, before I do, we need to look at the following events taking place right now, which will provide the background necessary for my Apology. 1. The Image of the Beast. 2. The Seal of the Living God in Revelation 7. 3. Conrad Vine. 4. Daniel 8 – The Battle Between The Ram and the He Goat. 5. The 7 Thunders of Revelation 10. We have confused “the Image of the Beast” with the “Mark of the Beast.” The consequence of not knowing the difference is fatal for God’s people, and the answer is not easy to discern since it’s buried in pages 445 to 449 of The Great Controversy. To pass through Jacob’s Time of Trouble we must receive The Seal of the Living God in Revelation 7, but the receiving of that Seal has prerequisites that we have failed to understand! We need to take a deeper look into the background regarding the present controversy involving Pastor Conrad Vine. According to Daniel’s 2500-yr old prophecy of the Ram and the He Goat in Daniel 8, what happened to Iraq in 2003, is about to happen to Iran, Iraq & Syria. The angel Gabriel declared that this battle takes place “in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be” (Daniel 8:19.) This battle has commenced the last moments of earth’s history and will continue to escalate until the Second Coming of Christ! As it escalates, it will draw into this war, perhaps nuclear, 6 additional entities: The United States, Great Britain, Russia, China, The European Union and the “Little Horn of Daniel 8.” This battle takes place in verses 1-13 of Daniel 8, then, in verse 14, the final warning that the Judgment of the Living is taking place is trumpeted to the entire world via Daniel 8:14 and the First Angel’s Message of Revelation 14. “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be CLEANSED.” –Daniel 8:14. The cleansing commenced in 1844, but “cleansed” means finished, and it is not finished until Leviticus 16:20, 21 when the final cleansing of the sanctuary takes place and Jesus, at the door of the “holy place” of the heavenly sanctuary, puts the sins upon the head of the “scapegoat” (Satan), and banishes him to the desolate earth for 1,000 years! How will the warning be provided worldwide? By the 7 Thunders in Revelation 10 that will proclaim the final warning to earth’s inhabitants, via the 3 Angel’s Messages of Revelation 14:6-12. In other words, the battle between the Ram and the He Goat (Dan. 8:1-13) is the catalyst for the message that the Judgment of the Living has commenced in the heavenly sanctuary in Daniel 8:14. The power to carry that message worldwide is provided by the Loud Voice of the First Angel’s Message: “And I saw another angel 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, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come.” –Revelation 14:6, 7. But God’s people have been preaching the 3 Angels’ Messages for 180 years. What event triggers the additional power needed to proclaim this message worldwide? The 7 Thunders of Revelation 10! “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven … and he had in his hand a little book open … and cried with a LOUD VOICE … and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices … I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel … sware by him that liveth for ever and ever … that THERE SHOULD BE TIME NO LONGER … And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said … THOU MUST PROPHESY AGAIN before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.” –Revelation 10:1-11. “The mighty Angel who instructed John was no less a personage than Jesus Christ. … The special light given to John which was expressed in the seven thunders was a DELINEATION of events which would transpire under the first and second angels’ messages. It was not best for the people to know these things, for their faith must necessarily be tested. In the order of God most wonderful and advanced truths would be proclaimed. THE FIRST AND SECOND ANGELS' MESSAGES WERE TO BE PROCLAIMED, BUT NO FURTHER LIGHT WAS TO BE REVEALED BEFORE THESE MESSAGES HAD DONE THEIR SPECIFIC WORK.” –SDABC, Vol. 7, p. 971.

The cleansing commenced in 1844, but “cleansed” means finished, and it is not finished until Leviticus 16:20, 21 when the final cleansing of the sanctuary takes place and Jesus, at the door of the “holy place” of the heavenly sanctuary, puts the sins upon the head of the “scapegoat” (Satan), and banishes him to the desolate earth for 1,000 years! How will the warning be provided worldwide? By the 7 Thunders in Revelation 10 that will proclaim the final warning to earth’s inhabitants, via the 3 Angel’s Messages of Revelation 14:6-12. In other words, the battle between the Ram and the He Goat (Dan. 8:1-13) is the catalyst for the message that the Judgment of the Living has commenced in the heavenly sanctuary in Daniel 8:14. The power to carry that message worldwide is provided by the Loud Voice of the First Angel’s Message: “And I saw another angel 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, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come.” –Revelation 14:6, 7. But God’s people have been preaching the 3 Angels’ Messages for 180 years. What event triggers the additional power needed to proclaim this message worldwide? The 7 Thunders of Revelation 10! “And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven … and he had in his hand a little book open … and cried with a LOUD VOICE … and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices. And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices … I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not. And the angel … sware by him that liveth for ever and ever … that THERE SHOULD BE TIME NO LONGER … And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said … THOU MUST PROPHESY AGAIN before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.” –Revelation 10:1-11. “The mighty Angel who instructed John was no less a personage than Jesus Christ. … The special light given to John which was expressed in the seven thunders was a DELINEATION of events which would transpire under the first and second angels’ messages. It was not best for the people to know these things, for their faith must necessarily be tested. In the order of God most wonderful and advanced truths would be proclaimed. THE FIRST AND SECOND ANGELS' MESSAGES WERE TO BE PROCLAIMED, BUT NO FURTHER LIGHT WAS TO BE REVEALED BEFORE THESE MESSAGES HAD DONE THEIR SPECIFIC WORK.” –SDABC, Vol. 7, p. 971.

On October 3, 2023, I published a 2-part YouTube series entitled: “Behold, The Bridegroom Cometh.” In Part 1 of that series, I shared my opinion that based on my study of prophecy and the Jewish Economy, I believed certain events would have taken place by now and they have not. After the Great Disappointment in 1844, there were a few faithful Bible students that continued to fast, pray and study for an explanation of what had taken place, and as I have continued to do the same, there are 2 errors in that video that I need to explain. However, before I do, we need to look at the following events taking place right now, which will provide the background necessary for my Apology. 1. The Image of the Beast. 2. The Seal of the Living God in Revelation 7. 3. Conrad Vine. 4. Daniel 8 – The Battle Between The Ram and the He Goat. 5. The 7 Thunders of Revelation 10. We have confused “the Image of the Beast” with the “Mark of the Beast.” The consequence of not knowing the difference is fatal for God’s people, and the answer is not easy to discern since it’s buried in pages 445 to 449 of The Great Controversy. To pass through Jacob’s Time of Trouble we must receive The Seal of the Living God in Revelation 7, but the receiving of that Seal has prerequisites that we have failed to understand! We need to take a deeper look into the background regarding the present controversy involving Pastor Conrad Vine. According to Daniel’s 2500-yr old prophecy of the Ram and the He Goat in Daniel 8, what happened to Iraq in 2003, is about to happen to Iran, Iraq & Syria. The angel Gabriel declared that this battle takes place “in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be” (Daniel 8:19.) This battle has commenced the last moments of earth’s history and will continue to escalate until the Second Coming of Christ!
