Time Setting

One of the most grounded teachings and most simplistic to know and understand is the idea that we are told both in the Rod and SOP — to NOT time set. Let us read —

“Let all our brethren and sisters beware of anyone who would set a time for the Lord to fulfill His word in regard to His coming, or in regard to any other promise He has made of special significance.” (TM, p.55)

“DOES THE SHEPHERD’S ROD SET PROPHETIC DATES?

Question No. 14:

In the following statement, “While God clears the way for the seven last plagues by laying some of His people to sleep in the grave, He has done the same for the event to take place in 1931 (if that date be correct),” does “The Shepherd’s Rod,” Vol. 1, p. 219, mean to teach that the judgment of the dead closed in 1931 or thereabouts?

Answer:

In the statement in question, the Rod has no reference to the Investigative Judgment. The message sets no date, either exact or approximate, for the closing of the judgment of the dead, or for the beginning of the Judgment of the living. The time of the cessation of the one event and the beginning of the other, is not to be known until the one is past and the other begun.” (1 Ans, p. 94)

Remember those words “either exact or approximate”.

Ok we would think the above is so weightful that to miss it would be like missing that Christ died on the cross! But no brethren, Satan does not sit idly by and let the straight clear words of God stand, without doing his original trick way back in the Garden.

We remember when God told Adam and Eve that they would surely die should they eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Yet Satan came later to Eve and said “You will not surely die”. In today’s modern terms this is called “gaslighting”. In other words, what you really hear or see, you aren’t really. To create a form of doubt and bewilderment is the goal of those who are gaslighting their victims. Satan was the first gas lighter!

So logically Satan finds workers in our midst who will teach the opposite of God and cancel, twist and ignore the straight clear above words. Well, what else is new, we bring you our old tried and true imposter –Lennox Sam. Now keep in mind what the Lord’s counsel is above and then take a look at the blatant trespassing of it in the following video clip.

So we have a choice brethren, we can believe in Satan’s gaslighting us through one of his active imposters today or we can stand firmly upon the “Thus sayeth the Lord”. The choice is ours. The time is almost at hand where God forbid SOP’s warning may apply to us as portrayed in Rev. 6:12-17 —

“In these scriptures two parties are brought to view.  One party permitted themselves to be deceived, and took sides with those with whom the Lord has a controversy.  They misinterpreted the message sent them, and clothed themselves in robes of self-righteousness.  Sin was not sinful in their eyes.  They taught falsehood as truth, and by them many souls were led astray.” — “Testimonies for the Church,” Vol. 9, page 268. 

If those people who exalt themselves so much as to make their own oil from the trees and try to put it in the Golden Bowl, would repent and turn, the Lord’s mercy would come.

“And such as do choose to engage in private interpretation are respectfully asked to desist from teaching in the name of the Rod and at its expense. Let them, like honest men, teach in their own names and at their own expense.” (FB Tract, p. 36)

You see those words “either exact or approximate” from Inspiration? You really didn’t see them.
