Dan. 7: 9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days
did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the
pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning
fire.
7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand
thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood
before him: the JUDGMENT was SET, and the BOOKS were OPENED.

Ecclesiastes 12; 14
For GOD shall bring every work into JUDGMENT, with every secret
thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.
THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION OF GODS PEOPLES WORDS, THOUGHTS & ACTIONS!
Rev. 14:6
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,
14:7Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his
JUDGMENT is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and
the fountains of waters.
JUDGMENT TAKES PLACE IN THE MOST HOLY PLACE
Sidebarthese Scriptures take us back to 1844 when Christ went from the Holy Place in
the Heavenly Sanctuary to the Most Holy Place in the Heavenly Sanctuary. In the
typical service of the sanctuary, it was on the day of atonement, (10th day of 7th
month), that the people of God had to have VICTORY OVER EVERY SIN! When the priest
came out of the Most Holy Place, he bore the sins of Israel in his body; he then went
through the Holy Place to the outer court where God allowed him to survey the camp
for anyone whose sins were not confessed and placed on the veil. Those persons whose
sins were not confessed were put out of the camp because God had to have a PURE
PEOPLE! Then the priest put both hands on the scapegoat representing Satan and laid
all the confessed sins of Israel on him; after which the goat was led by a fit man out
into the wilderness, never to return. HALLELUIA!! (The Lords goat, representing Jesus,
had already been slain.) Christ has been in the Most Holy Place for 170 yrs, this coming
Oct 22, 2014; it doesnt take Him that long to investigate and blot out our sins or our
names; Hes waiting on His people to reflect His image FULLY and we cant reflect His
image fully until we, by Gods Grace, STOP SINNING!
Sidebar ContdAnd
so, we must put all of our confessed sins on the veil; our sins
must go beforehand to judgment NOW, for if they dont go beforehand to judgment,
they can not be put on the head of the scapegoat, they will remain on our own heads.
The Prophet SpeaksThose who would share the benefits of the Saviour's mediation
should permit nothing to interfere with their duty to perfect holiness in the fear of God.
The precious hours, instead of being given to pleasure, to display, or to gain seeking,
should be devoted to an earnest, prayerful study of the word of truth. The subject of the
sanctuary and the investigative judgment should be clearly understood by the people
of God. All need a knowledge for themselves of the position and work of their great
High Priest. Otherwise it will be impossible for them to exercise the faith which is
essential at this time or to occupy the position which God designs them to fill. Every
individual has a soul to save or to lose. Each has a case pending at the bar of God. Each
must meet the great Judge face to face. How important, then, that every mind
contemplate often the solemn scene when the judgment shall sit and the books shall be
opened, when, with Daniel, every individual must stand in his lot, at the end of the
days. {GC 488.2}
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high [places]. (We can not get angry with men who are teaching false
doctrine because they are led by Satan; Jesus didnt get angry.)
1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us,
leaving us an example, that ye should follow HIS steps:
2:22
Who DID NO SIN, neither was guile found in his mouth:
2:23
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered,
he threatened not; but committed [himself] to him that judgeth righteously:

In Samuel Pipims book Here We Stand can be found the following statements:
Among the Adventist doctrines that Dr. Ford opposes are the sanctuary, 1844, the
investigative Judgment, the remnant church, and the role of the Spirit of Prophecy. In
1979, he publicly announced that he had not believed some of these doctrines for the
past 35 years because he could not reconcile the writing of Ellen White with the book of
Hebrews. In 2002, Ford at last publicly admitted that he did not believe in the creation
of the world in six literal days a few thousand years ago. (page 27)
After Dr. Ford was dismissed from denominational employment in 1980, a staggering
180 ministers left the ministry within the next decade. However, most of his followers
and sympathizers remained in the church. HE URGED THEM TO DO THIS, SO THEY
COULD USE THEIR INFLUENCE MORE EFFECTIVELY TO CHANGE THE CHURCH. MANY
HAVE SINCE ENJOYED POSITIONS OF TRUST AND RESPONSIBILITY. (page 27)

Rev. 12: 1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed
with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of
twelve stars:
12:2
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to
be delivered. 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and
behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven
crowns upon his heads.
12:4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast
them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready
to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

The Prophet ContdWe are to be ready and waiting for the orders of
God. Nations will be stirred to their very center. Support will be
withdrawn from those who proclaim God's only standard of
righteousness, the only sure test of character. And all who will not
bow to the decree of the national councils and obey the national
laws to exalt the sabbath instituted by the man of sin, to the
disregard of God's holy day, will feel, not the oppressive power of
popery alone, but of the Protestant world, the image of the beast.
{2SM 380.1}
Satan will work his miracles to deceive; he will set up his power
as supreme. The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not
fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out--the chaff
separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but
nevertheless it must take place. None but those who have been
overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their
testimony will be found with the loyal and true, without spot or stain
of sin, without guile in their mouths. We must be divested of our
self-righteousness and arrayed in the righteousness of Christ. {2SM
380.2}
The Prophet ContdGod's purpose in giving the THIRD ANGEL'S MESSAGE to the world is to
prepare a people to stand true to Him during the investigative judgment. This is the purpose for
which we establish and maintain our publishing houses, our schools, our sanitariums, hygienic
restaurants, treatment rooms, and food factories. This is our purpose in carrying forward every line
of work in the cause. Ms 154, 1902, p. 4. ("Instruction to Men in Positions of Responsibility," October
24, 1902.) {1MR 228.2}
SidebarWe dont have any of the aforementioned institutions functioning as God intended
TODAY! BUT their purpose was to prepare a people to stand during the INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT!
However, Satan has been seeking gradually to rob this message of its power, that the people may
not be prepared to stand in the day of the Lord. {RH, March 22, 1887 par. 8} The day of the Lord is
during the INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT.
The Prophet ContdThe judgment is now passing in the sanctuary above. For many
years this work has been in progress. Soonnone know how soonit will pass to the
cases of the living. {CCh 349.1}
SidebarJesus, the SEED, has to produce a people on this Earth who will REFLECT
His IMAGE FULLY before HE STANDS UP and comes out of the Most Holy Place. If Jesus
cant do that, Satans claim that the Law of God can NOT be kept even by the Power of
the Indwelling Christ would prove to be true. Jesus is NOT a liar, HIS SEED, THE
REMNANT will REFLECT HIS IMAGE FULLY; WE JUST HAVE TO DECIDE IF WE WANNA BE
A PART OF THOSE TO FINISH THE WORK BY COOPERATING WITH JESUS IN THE PUTTING
AWAY OF SIN IN OUR LIVES, BY RECEIVING THE SEAL OF GOD, BY ACCESSING THE
POWER OF THE LATTER RAIN, BY GIVING THE LOUD CRY TO GODS PEOPLE, NOT OF
THIS FOLD, AND THEN WE CAN GO HOME TO LIVE WITH JESUS ETERNALLY!!!!

The Prophet SpeaksNow, when the great work of judging the living is
about to begin, shall we allow unsanctified ambition to take possession of
the heart and lead us to neglect the education required to meet the
needs in this day of peril? {6T 130.1}
In every case the great decision is to be made whether we shall
receive the mark of the beast or his image, or the seal of the living God.
And now, when we are on the borders of the eternal world, what can be
of so much value to us as to be found loyal and true to the God of
heaven?
FINAL
TEST
THE PROPHET SPEAKS CONTDThe Sabbath will be the great test of loyalty;
for it is the point of truth especially controverted. When the FINAL TEST shall
be brought to bear upon men, then the line of distinction will be drawn
between those who serve God and those who serve him not. While the
observance of the false sabbath in compliance with the law of the State,
contrary to the fourth commandment, will be an avowal of allegiance to a
power that is in opposition to God, the keeping of the true Sabbath, in
obedience to God's law, is an evidence of loyalty to the Creator. While ONE
CLASS, by accepting the sign of submission to earthly powers, receive the
MARK OF THE BEAST, THE OTHER, choosing the token of allegiance to divine
authority, receive the SEAL OF GOD. [SEE APPENDIX, NOTE 13.] {GC88
605.2} F
that is going to
determine who will receive the Seal of God or who will receive the Mark of the
Beast. It is the LIVING who will take the TEST of the Sabbath question at the
PASSING of the NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW. And when the LIVING SDAs who have
NOT PREPARED THEMSELVES DURING THIS PROBATIONARY PERIOD BY
ESTABLISHING A VITAL CONNECTION WITH CHRIST , cave in and give up their
FAITH in TRUE SABBATH OBSERVANCE, RIGHT THEN, THEY WILL BE WEIGHED
IN THE BALANCES AND FOUND WANTINGTHIS IS THE JUDGMENT PASSING
The Prophet Contd Never did this message apply with greater force than it
applies today. More and more the world is setting at nought the claims of
God. Men have become bold in transgression. The wickedness of the
inhabitants of the world has almost filled up the measure of their iniquity.
This earth has almost reached the place where God will permit the destroyer
to work his will upon it. The substitution of the laws of men for the law of
God, the exaltation, by merely human authority, of Sunday in place of the
Bible Sabbath, is the last act in the drama. When this substitution becomes
universal, God will reveal Himself. He will arise in His majesty to shake
terribly the earth. He will come out of His place to punish the inhabitants of
the world for their iniquity, and the earth shall disclose her blood and shall no
more cover her slain. {7T 141.1}
Matt. 24:8 All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.
The Prophet ContdThe great conflict that Satan created in the heavenly
courts is soon, very soon, to be forever decided. Soon all the inhabitants of
the earth will have taken sides, either for or against the government of
heaven. Now, as never before, Satan is exercising his deceiving power to
mislead and to destroy every unguarded soul. We are called upon to arouse
the people to prepare for the great issues before them. We must give warning
to those who are standing on the very brink of ruin. God's people are to put
forth every power in combating Satan's falsehoods and pulling down his
strongholds. To every human being in the wide world who will give heed, we
are to make plain the principles at stake in the great controversy--principles
upon which hangs the eternal destiny of the soul.
The tares and the wheat are to grow together until the harvest; and the
harvest is the end of probationary time. {COL 71.3}
So now, a sudden and unlooked-for calamity, something that brings the soul
face to face with death, will show whether there is any real faith in the
promises of God. It will show whether the soul is sustained by grace. The
great final test {NSL} comes at the close of human probation, when it will be
too late for the soul's need to be supplied. {COL 412.1}
