TOMORROW = ATHERMOMETER

TODAY = A THERMOSTATHOW SO?

A THERMOMETER: A DEVICE WHICHADJUSTS TO THE TEMPERATURE

AROUND ITS ENVIRON.

A THERMOSTAT: THE NOB THATTURNS ON THE HEAT.

QUESTION: ARE WE ADJUSTING TO THETEMPERATURE OF CRIME, VIOLENCE,CORRUPTION, AND EVIL IMAGINATION,

OR ARE WE TURNING ON THE HEAT?


21/27

READ PSALMS 119:71

PATRIARCHS & PROPHETS, p. 101

THE SINS THAT CALLED FOR

VENGEANCE UPON THE ANTEDILUVIANWORLD EXIST TODAY. THE FEAR OFGOD IS BANISHED FROM THE HEARTSOF MEN, AND HIS LAW IS TREATEDWITH INDIFFERENCE AND CONTEMPT.


22/27

4. TOMORROWS SINS

ARE PREVALENT TODAYEDWARD GIBBONS [HISTORIAN] MENTIONS SIX

REASONS FOR ROMES DOWNFALL

1. RAPID INCREASE IN DIVORCE.2. BELITTLING OF SANCTITY OF THE HOME.

3. HIGHER AND HIGHER TAXES WITH PUBLICMONEY BEING WASTED.

4. THE MAD CRAZE FOR PLEASURE THATBECOME EXCITING.

5. GIGANTIC ARMAMENTS FOR WAR WHILENATIONS ARE DECAYING INTERNALLY.

6. DECLINE OF FAITH IN GOD THAT HASBECOME A MERE FORM OF CEREMONY.


23/27

GREAT CONTROVERSY, p.

500REPROOF OF SIN STILL AROUSES THESPIRIT OF HATRED AND RESISTANCE.WHEN GODS MESSAGES OF WARNING

ARE BROUGHT HOME TO THE CONSCIENCE,SATAN LEADS MEN TO JUSTIFYTHEMSELVES AND TO SEEK THESYMPATHY OF OTHERS IN THEIR COURSEOF SIN. INSTEAD OF CORRECTING THEIR

ERRORS, THEY EXCITE INDIGNATIONAGAINST THE REPROVER, AS IF HE WERETHE SOLE CAUSE OF DIFFICULTY.


24/27

NOW IS THE FINAL

BOARDING!IF JESUS WAS TO COME NOW, WOULD

YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BE READY? GOD IS LOOKING FOR CONVERTS NOT

CONVICTS!

LAST DAY EVENTS, p. 230WHEN PROBATION ENDS, IT WILL COMESUDDENLY, UNEXPECTEDLY,--AT ATIME WHEN WE ARE LEAST EXPECTINGIT. BUT WE CAN HAVE A CLEANRECORD IN HEAVEN TODAY, AND KNOWTHAT GOD ACCEPTS US.
