Has Probation Closed on your church?

The information that I will be posting to this page as time goes by will be information that only those that are doing intense studies on an eschatological standpoint regarding the close of probation can use. Only those that keep the Commandments of God and have an understanding of prophecy will benefit by these facts. Sadly, those that prefer to ignore prophecy and the Law of God will find this information as mere foolishness. Pray for them as it is not the Father's will that any should perish.

On this page you will also find references from the writings of Ellen G. White as well as the Scriptures itself. If you do not understand at this time that Ellen G. White has already been proven a true prophet of the Lord. Then all I ask is that you look upon her writings the same way you would look upon such Bible commentators as Matthew Henry, or Charles H. Spurgeon. There is one difference between her and these men however. Besides the fact that her doctrinal statements are far more in tune with Scripture. She has also had numerous visions regarding future prophetic events. Many of these events have already been verified to have come true. Many in this age alone!

My quick comments regarding the basic facts regarding the close of probation

Is there prophetic as well as historic proof that probation has closed on your church?

For those of you reading this that have already come out of Babylon you need to be completely honest with yourselves before reading further. If the probation is NOT closed on the churches you left. WHY did you leave? Why did anyone? Is it going to get better and we will be allowed to go back in one day? Did the fourth Angel "kid around" in Revelation 18 by saying COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE? Does the Angel change his mind later and say go back in to the churches you left?

If in fact probation is not closed, as some preachers proclaim, then they should go back into the church immediately. In fact, if they're right, we ALL should go back in! For if probation is not closed on these churches as some suggest, we should be able to step back into these churches with the power of our God and change their way of thinking and cause them to repent and start anew. Fact is, THAT is called REFORMATION! Not the close of probation! I ask, is that a prophecied event for our day? NO IT IS NOT! That was a prophecied event for MARTIN LUTHER's day.

Sister White says,
"So in the prophecies the future is opened before us as plainly as it was opened to the disciples by the words of Christ. The events connected with the close of probation and the work of preparation for the time of trouble, are clearly presented. But multitudes have no more understanding of these important truths than if they had never been revealed. Satan watches to catch away every impression that would make them wise unto salvation, and the time of trouble will find them unready." -Review & Herald June 7, 1906 par. 3

Is your pastor helping you to be counted in the multitudes that can not see that which is "clearly seen" or plainly presented? Is his method of teaching designed to have you unready for the time of Jacob's trouble? Sadly, in many instances, it appears this is the case. Just as Satan planned for the multitudes in these last days! Many preachers are proclaiming probation is NOT closed so as to give their church members a sense of false security. Yet, at the same time they boldly stand OUTSIDE the church they at one time proclaimed to be Babylon! HYPOCRITES! The fact that they did leave Babylon in the first place proves they are preachers of error setting the children up for a great fall. They preach ear tickling messages lulling the children of God to slumber. By their confused message the heart of the believer is drawn back to Babylon. And rightly so, since they now believe probation isn't closed. They are literally preventing the virgins from seeking the Oil they need in the little time they have let to gather it. So I say to you, the virgins of Christ. Ask them bluntly... WHY did you leave the church if probation didn't close pastor? If probation hasn't closed, why have we abandoned those we loved within those walls? Ask them! WHY did you leave pastor? It's a simple question. However, don't expect a simple answer. Experience has afforded many the reality that they will lie, they will take Scriptures and Sister White completely out of context to try and gather you to their camp. And if their confused message has had ample time to find its way to your heart, you will be allowed to believe that lie. (2Thess 2:11)

I wholeheartedly pray you are not counted among the multitudes that have no understanding of these important truths. Fact is, the elect can NOT be deceived. So, for those of us that have sufficient Oil within out lamps. Take heart! :)

Sister White says,
Next, why had not Christ come? And if the 1844 experience was valid, what did take place on October 22, 1844? The pioneers worked their way through this, finding the explanation in an understanding of the sanctuary question in its fullness. Christ was now ministering in their behalf in the Most Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary. In connection with this they found "doors" "open" and "doors" "shut" that were easily linked with the close of probation, [NOTE: SEE CHAPTER 16 FOR ELABORATION.] the full extent of which was not at first seen." {1BIO 192.3}

Sister White says,
God has given us probationary time in order that it may be made manifest whether we will be loyal, obedient children, rendering obedience to his commandments, his statutes, and his laws, or whether we will persist in following a course of disobedience, and prove ourselves unworthy of eternal life. {RH, October 9, 1894 par. 9}

Keep in mind, when she said "God has given us probationary time" she was talking to her church family. That being said, notice this next statement by sister White.

He shows us that when His people are found in sin they should at once take decided measures to put that sin from them, that His frown may not rest upon them all. But if the sins of the people are passed over by those in responsible positions, His frown will be upon them, and the people of God, as a body, will be held responsible for those sins. {3T 265.1}

Every SDA person I meet has declared they know for a fact the church is in apostasy. Some have even gone so far as to warn their pastors of the apostasy, who in unison with them agree they are in apostasy. But, nothing changes. The warnings are ignored and the apostasy continues. That means the frown of God is not just upon the pastors going forward, it is now on all the people in the church who have decided to stay in apostasy thinking they did all they could to fix it.

Some are blinded by Satan, and in essence choosing to ignore certain blunt facts we find in Scripture, as well as in the Spirit of Prophecy. They openly declare that the probation can not close until the National Sunday Laws are enforced. Or they say probation cannot close on the church first and then the world later. Yet, it has done this in the past already. We find this evidence in the book of Acts wherein all who study prophecy realize the fact that the 490 year probation period for the church of Israel had closed at the stoning of Stephan in 34AD. And quite apparently we also see in the book of Acts that Paul was going INTO the churches of Israel to pull them OUT! Probation closed on the corporate church back then, but NOT on the people inside it! Paul's evangelistic tactics alone prove that quite nicely when he stepped INTO those Synagogues.

Another obvious fact is, WHY would the Angel in Revelation 18 be declaring to the believers in these fallen churches that they should COME OUT of the fallen churches if in fact probation wasn't closed? I ask again... if it is not closed, we should be able to step back into the churches with the power of God and change their way of thinking and start anew! But prophecy NEVER states this is what will happen.

Why are so many ignoring simple prophetic facts? Satan has gotten them to a point where they have insufficient "Oil" in their lamps, and the Bridegroom is about to close the doors of probation on the ENTIRE world as Revelation 22:10-12 declares. If the enemy can keep them in this confused state, he will have them for eternity.

As I stated in my book "People Get Ready" the Jewish people living in Jerusalem at the time it was destroyed by Rome would have no doubt been spared had they simply believed in one mere prophecy of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not to mention all the prophecies the Prophets of old spoke concerning the arrival of Jesus Christ Himself in the first place. All too often the prophecies of the Lord whether they come from His lips, or the lips of those He sends are ignored, ridiculed, or simply scoffed at. We ARE living in the days that many prophets saw in advance. And they all desired to see the things YOU are seeing day by day! Or are you?

Matthew 13:17, "For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them."
