MY FRIENDS, WHAT IS SO IMPORTANT GOD WOULD SEND ANGELS TO WARN US?
“When God sends to men warnings so important that they are represented as proclaimed by holy angels flying in the midst of heaven, He requires every person endowed with reasoning powers to heed the message. The fearful judgments denounced against the worship of the beast and his image (Revelation 14:9-11), should lead all to a diligent study of the prophecies to learn what the mark of the beast is, and how they are to avoid receiving it. But the masses of the people turn away their ears from hearing the truth and are turned unto fables.” (E. G. White The Great Controversy pp 594)
Fables are defined as “a story not founded on fact” My friends we cannot pick and choose what prophecy we will accept as fact and which one’s we will not. That is why we cannot pick and choose which commandment is appropriate for us to live by and which ones are not. “For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished” Matt. 5:18 (NIV)
So we tell ourselves; It’s wrong to steal and commit adultery, but every now and then we must bear false witness or lie, that is an acceptable sin to 
God. And that seventh day Sabbath surely that law was done away with at the cross, so it shouldn’t even be in the hand written commandments of God. “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” 2 Tim. 4:3 (NIV)
My friends, when it is all said and done, it’s not God that made a few mistakes in His word, but “our limited knowledge and wisdom of what’s in God’s word. And Instead of praying and asking God for “all truth and understanding,” we merely want to skim over what seems to make sense to us, and everything else we allow others to define the difference between fact and fiction for us. So my friends “we have no [knowledge, because we ask [for no knowledge from God.]”
So as children of God and heirs to His kingdom and joint heirs with His Son Jesus Christ we must “Search the scriptures; for in them we think we have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” John 5:39 (KJV) So once again if “God sends to men [and women] warnings so important that they are represented as proclaimed by holy angels flying in the midst of heaven.” This is what we must be seeking daily, and that is a true knowledge of God’s word and not what Lucious, Cookie, Jamal, and Hakeem are doing on Empire from week to week.
My friends, we must “be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God……….” 2 Peter 3:1-5 (KJV)
But were it not for grace, where would we all be? Probably “wandering down some pointless road to nowhere” trying to figure out our own Salvation. But our God is “long-suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” [as we study to show ourselves approved unto God”] 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
