“The

ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into Exhibit #1

perdition:

and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.” Dear SDA friends around the world, I can hardly believe it, but the article in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, which headline you Exhibit #2 - World, April 30, 2005 OUR SUNDAY VISITOR, 5/15/05. see below, reveals that the president of the U.S. has actually “signed legislation” which will give Americans “national identification cards.” Can you believe that? We thought that “some day” it would happen, but the paper says that the president has already signed the legislation. It’s called “The Real ID Act.” Bang! It happened suddenly. Will anything else happen suddenly? The article says that the law takes affect in 36 months, and that it will turn your And what is the significance of being “a driver’s license into a national identification card. This brings us a step pontiff of the Second Vatican Council?” It was closer to the enforcement of the mark of the beast by providing one in that council that the highest officials of the Holy See planned the final inquisition for true more vehicle for the enforcement of it. It also brings us another step Protestants, and a future massacre, according closer to the coming of Jesus. to the Ex-Jesuit priest - as you heard on the Does the devil have to wait for 36 months before the first Sunday taped interview with him and Jack Chick. That law can be passed? I don’t set any dates, but if our kind Father allows will be fulfilled by the coming Sunday law. it, the first initial Sunday law can come by “presidential proclamation” - {like the one from Constantine did in 321 A.D.}, as quickly, and as suddenly as this “Real ID” law has. The first one may have no more teeth in it than “Mother’s Day,” but after it’s passed, there will be debates over the issue, during which time, the law will get stricter and harsher - with stiffer penalties - as crimes, terrors, wars, and calamities are happening all around. {Many of these things are happening now!} During these debates, God’s holy angels, and His people will be enlightening the world on the subject of God’s law, and His holy Sabbath day in particular. This will be the final “shaking” for May 12, 2005 God’s church, and when this Sunday law inspired shaking is over, God’s SDA church will be totally pure - so pure, that from the woods and caves, and jails, it will be clinging to Jesus for dear life - and never let go - until it sits on God’s throne in heaven. Praise the Lord! Get ready to meet thy God oh Israel. Faith: Why is Osama bin Laden giving the Masonic finger?

2 Pastor Jan: It’s because he’s a high mason, and part of the masonic “brotherhood” in the Vatican New World Order. Have you ever wondered why they haven’t caught him? Being wanted in connection with terrorist murders, officials in Afghanistan offered to turn him over to President Bill Clinton - but he wasn’t interested. Just yesterday on the news the reporter said, “Osama bin Laden paid bribes to the Afghan militias who were assigned to find him. A spokeswoman for the officials says that Afghan forces told bin Laden that they knew where he was, and that he could be arrested, but they would look the other way in exchange for cash.” World leaders, as masonic “brothers,” follow orders from their superiors - many of them not realizing who’s at the top. You’ve learned that the pope is the head mason in the world, who “wears the ephod” - and that certain world leaders “. . . receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. Rev. 17:12, 13. One result of this is the new “inquisition.” Much of the new inquisition is against real criminals, but the principle allows for it also to be against real Protestant Christians. As you learned in my letter last month, as head of the “holy inquisition” for many years, the new pope is poised to assist Catholic leaders, church members, and anyone else he can {especially in America} to “come into line.” As revealed in the article in World magazine, represented in exhibit #2, he is known as the “Enforcer.” Roman Catholic Bill O’Riley said on the radio that even Catholic leaders have been afraid of him - especially if they step out of line with “church” doctrine. The May 8 issue of OUR SUNDAY VISITOR said, “In the summer semester of 1965, University of Munster students of then Father Joseph Ratzinger predicted the imminent conversion of a Protestant theology student who was a regular in the lecture room. They said, “Faced with Ratzinger, the strongest man capitulates.” It’s easy to see why this may be the perfect man to lead in the new “inquisition.” The last pope did his work as the “Appeaser.” Now they’re ready for the “Enforcer.” Joseph Ratzinger in 1943, in Hitler’s army. His The groundwork is being laid right now {under cover, and early life is discussed in unbeknown to the masses [see RH 2/7/93]} for the Sunday law to this April 30 issue of World. come. The new “inquisition” is also going on in ways that the masses haven’t dreamed of. The April, 2005 issue of Cherith Chronicle, says, “The Gulfstream 5 jet always departs from Washington for destinations such as Uzbekistan, a dictatorship where the secret police are notorious. The Gulfstream 5 jet, leased by agents from the U.S. Defense Department and CIA, always departs from Washington. It has flown to 49 destinations outside America, including the Guantanamo Bay prison camp in Cuba, and other U.S. military bases. Its registration number is N379P. It is known as the “Torture Jet” - as represented in exhibit #1. “The Gulfstream 5 made at least seven trips to Uzbekistan, a dictatorship allied with the United States in the war on terror, where, the Sunday Times wrote, ‘The secret police are notorious for their interrogation methods, including the alleged boiling of prisoners.’ “‘I have come across many cases of rape in front of family members whom they wish to extract information from,’ Craig Murray, the former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, said recently on Swedish television. ‘I have postmortem photos of a corpse. These show that the person was boiled to death.’” Exhibit #3 - U.S. NEWS & [In exhibit #3 you see a man who was tortured in what the May 23 issue of U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT, May 23, WORLD REPORT, calls the “interrogation express.” It reveals that the U.S. sent him to 2005 Jordan, and from thence, driven to Syria, where he was tortured for 12 months. After that, he was released without being charged with anything. The Cherith Chronicle continues - ] “The Washington Post, Boston Globe, and Chicago Tribune, all recently reported on the “Torture Jet.” “Disguised agents from an elite American military unit, answering directly to the White House, are allowed to take command on Swedish soil, contrary to Swedish law. In a secret and brutal operation, two Egyptians who have asylum in Sweden are kidnaped and brought to Egypt to be tortured,’ Kalla Fakta reported.” Cherith Chronicle continues by describing how that after the men were arrested by Swedish security police, Americans arrived, wearing black ski masks, and took the men to the “Torture Jet” after they were blindfolded and hoods put over their heads. [This is the way Jesuit “men in black” work.] “The Gulfstream 5 has completed at least 72 such operations in more than 30 countries, Laurin reported. And it always follows the same pattern. ‘After takeoff from its home base in Smithfield, N.C., it makes a short stop at Dulles International Airport, close to CIA headquarters, and the Pentagon. It flies exclusively to countries that are allied with the U.S. in the fight against terror: Morocco, Libya,

Egypt, Jordan, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan. ‘These are far beyond the reach of American and International Courts,’ said Christopher Bollyn, in “Ghost Planes Make Suspects Disappear,” American Free Press, Jan. 24, 2005.’” The act of the U.S. sending people to other countries, where they are tortured - after those countries say they don’t torture people, and the U.S. remains innocent, is called “rendition” as you see mentioned on the front cover of The Weekly Standard in exhibit #4. It has a whole article on it. Kenneth Roth, executive director of “Human Rights Watch,” said, “Governments that Exhibit #4 - The Weekly Standard, engage in torture always try to hide what they’re doing.” May 16, 2005. Cherith Chronicle now tells of a remarkable 1,249 page book called The Torture Papers: The Road to Abu Ghraib, edited by Karyn J. Greenberg, executive director of the Center on Law and Security at the New York University School of Law; and Joshua L. Drexel, president of the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. It says, “This documentation has set forth to the world, how, through legal reasonings [from the Jesuits of Rome] torture has become acceptable.” “Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, said, ‘Each page tells the story of U.S. leaders consciously willing to ignore the fundamental protections that guarantee all of us our humanity. I fear for our future. Read these pages and weep for our country, the rule of law, and victims of torture everywhere.’” These things give us just a little hint that it won’t take a long long time until the minds of people and leaders are shaped to enforce the devil’s Sunday law - to come into the open - maybe as suddenly as this “Real ID” law - {giving us “National ID Cards,”} has suddenly appeared - and has been signed by the president. In this letter, you’re going to learn several things. One is that the Bible verse at the top of page one reveals that spiritually speaking, the Vatican ascends “out of the bottomless pit.” That not only refers to atheism, but it also refers to spiritualism in the context of Rev. 17. From the ex-Jesuit priest, and other sources, we learn that head Vatican men are professedly Christian, but are virtually atheistic {without God} - wrapped up in spiritualism spiritualism - into which the devil will “sweep the whole world.” Watch closely -

3 In the following quote, I underline the parts that we’ll talk about. ““Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of spiritualism. . . As spiritualism more closely imitates the nominal Christianity of the day, it has greater power to deceive and ensnare. Satan himself is converted, after the modern order of things. He will appear in the character of an angel of light. Through the agency of spiritualism, miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and many undeniable wonders will be performed. And as the spirits will profess faith in the Bible, and manifest respect for the institutions of the church, their work will be accepted as a manifestation of divine power. “The line of distinction between professed Christians and the ungodly is now hardly distinguishable. Church members love what the world loves and are ready to join with them, and Satan determines to unite them in one body and thus strengthen his cause by sweeping all into the ranks of spiritualism. . . Papists, Protestants, and worldlings will alike accept the form of godliness without the power, and they will see in this union a grand movement for the conversion of the world and the ushering in of the long-expected millennium.” GC 588,589. Let’s look now at the points above that are underlined. 1) Protestants will grasp the hand of spiritualism. Will they all go to fortune tellers? No. It’s more tricky than that - even to themselves. 2) Spiritualism imitates nominal Christianity. 3) Satan himself is converted - which means that he is in church with them. He likes their church services now. 4) It professes faith in the Bible. 5) It has respect for the institutions of the church. 6) Under this new spiritualistic church, you can hardly tell any difference between a church member and a nonchristian person walking down the street. 7) Church members love what the world loves. After church, they go out - with their consciences feeling better - after hearing a Christianized form of Satan’s comforting message to Eve - “Ye shall not surely die,” and they go back to their pleasures, money-making, and food. They don’t think much about overcoming sin or being missionary workers for God, because the message made them feel good about themselves. They heard that God accepts them just the way they are - with no instruction as to how to receive the grace of God by faith to stop doing the selfish things they’re doing to their faces, bodies, stomachs, and to others. The virtual message is, “Ye shall not surely die.” It’s comforting. It’s the new spiritualism from the beast out of the bottomless pit! This is why Satan is a church member now. As time goes by, there will also be more miracles, and appearances from Satan’s angels in the form of dead loved ones - telling people that Jesus has changed God’s Sabbath to Sunday. There will be more falling on the floor, dancing in the isles, speaking in Satan’s tongues, miracles, healings, and supernatural things. But even now, what most preachers are preaching today is part of the new spiritualism, and the people don’t know it. “Ye shalt not surely die.” That’s just the message that most everyone wants to hear! Do you believe that? The sentimental “love” of God is talked about, but the law of God, the standards of God, the justice and warnings of God - {though possibly mentioned slightly as a smokescreen}, are downplayed. In the new spiritualism, loving warnings about the judgement of God are not given. No training is given by most pastors to church members to teach them how to give the old fashioned Bible studies which really ground the people in godliness - with sweet peace of mind - and give God’s last warning message of love {the three angels’ messages} to their city or town. Indeed, church members are kept in such slumbering ignorance that they don’t know or care whether or not such a warning of love even exists! Satan knows that under the new spiritualism, the three angels’ messages - containing the love of God, the law of God, the Sabbath of God, the warnings of God, and the power of God, cannot and will not be given.. Many pastors who preach like this are friendly and loveable, and the church members are satisfied. They wouldn’t dream that this is from the beast “out of the bottomless pit,” [identified in GC 273]. Do you see why dear Jesus is going to cleanse His church soon? Wonderful news! He is in control! He knows what’s going on! His tender love hasn’t changed! We know this is going to happen soon from 9T 228. Not surely die? To tell you the truth, I like that message myself! Faith: What? Pastor Jan: l like it! Dear Jesus liked it too. Listen - “All His life Christ had been publishing to a fallen world the good news of the Father’s mercy and pardoning love. Salvation for the chief of sinners was His theme.” DA 753. Praise God! That wonderful message is still true now! I love it! I love to

think of the tender love of God - for me personally! Think of it - for you! I love the “grace abounding to the chief of sinners!” Don’t you? I love the wonderful words of Romans 5:1 - “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” God said it, and I believe it! Praise God! It brings peace and joy to our hearts! And look at this - “The message of hope and mercy is to be carried to the ends of the earth. Whosoever will, may reach forth and take hold of God’s strength and make peace with Him, and he shall make peace. No longer are the heathen to be wrapped in midnight darkness. The gloom is to disappear before the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness. The power of hell has been overcome.” COL 418. [Praise God!] The wonderful message of the grace of God to His faithful people is also telling them - “Ye shalt not surely die.” Faith: How can that be? - since that’s the devil’s message, and the message of the spiritualist preachers? Pastor Jan: You see, the devil usually tells you the truth - just enough to kill you. In his new spiritualism from the beast out of the bottomless pit, it’s what he leaves out that’s dangerous. The devil knows that “Out of sight, out of mind.” Both the devil and Jesus preach that “Ye shalt not surely die” - but the difference is, our Saviour tells it to you on the condition of letting Him save you from sin - forever. The devil tells it to you on the condition of living in sin {until you’re forever dead.} Most people like the devil’s version best. Our Lord Jesus warns everyone against misery and death from the service of Satan, while the devil warns people against surrendering totally to Christ, and promises life and happiness in sin. He’s happy for the people to go on sinning and rejoicing in the love and grace of God until they burn up in hell. It’s very tricky. I praise God that we don’t need to be fooled. The masses of church members don’t realize that something in the messages that they’re hearing week after week is missing. They don’t realize that there’s almost nothing in the comforting message they hear to warn them from going home and sinning some more. The new spiritualism gives them the impression - “I’ll just sin and ask forgiveness, and be accepted by God’s grace just as I am, and then sin and ask forgiveness, and be accepted just as I am, and then, go to heaven.” What a deception! They don’t realize that they are developing a character for heaven or hell now, and that even one sin persistently cherished will plunge them into the lake of fire! In the “new spiritualism” preaching, there’s nothing to wake them out of a sin-loving stupor - to cry out to God for deliverance from sin and “self” forever! There’s nothing in it to teach them how to be filled with the Holy Spirit of God by an absolute, total surrender of their wills to Him in loving, peaceful, happy trust, and intimate communion - to set them on fire, and send them out with the love of God burning in their hearts to reach the poor, the sick, and reach thousands for Jesus with His three angels’ messages. This is why most people come out of church quite spiritually dead - still filled with personal problems, and still doting and toddling around with the ABCs of the Christian life, instead of being mighty teachers of the last message of God! I Praise God that His people don’t have to stay that way! We can be mighty teachers for God - reaching many thousands with God’s mighty three angels’ messages - filled with the Holy Spirit! Soon, God’s people, walking with Christ like Enoch did will turn the world upside down {see Acts 17:6} with God’s last mighty message. Jesus will give you this experience. Seek it like Enoch did & you’ll have it! Lay hold of Jesus like Jacob did - and you’ll have Him! This happy experience with King Jesus scares the devil to death! I thank our kind Father that He still has godly pastors. I find them especially in small churches. If you listen to the message of your pastor for six to ten weeks in a row, and hear from him the “new spiritualism” - as described above, and what Sweet Vennita described as “Gerber,” and “goo goo ga ga,” our kind Father will teach you what to do. GC 565 & 581 bring to view the “new inquisition” we talked about. It’s going on in a number of ways even now. Why, just the other day, a man called and said that the government is suing his conference for twenty million dollars. Hope: Why? Pastor Jan: He said that the government is suing them for medical fraud - that is, charging the government program of medicare far more than what they owed. A number of other hospitals have also been caught for doing the same. Charity: But if the “Health System” “gypped” the government out of millions of dollars, why are they suing the conference? Could it be that the conference men had nothing to do with it, and possibly didn’t even know about it? Pastor Jan: You saw on one of my CCA videos, the wife of a pastor who was on the Union Committee, talking about the Health System being in so much debt that she said it could go bankrupt at any time, but the lawyers were wiggling

She said that God made the Health System to be the “right arm” of God’s work, but since they separated it from the church - in order to give the M.D.s and Exhibit #5.

Dear Pastor Marcussen, I was in my car and saw an SUV with a magnet sign on the side which said “National Sunday Law.” I was with my business partner and said “Those people are Seventh-day Adventists.” The sign penetrated my heart. That was Friday afternoon. Later that day I broke into tears because I knew I had been breaking God’s Sabbath by working on His holy day. I got the book “National Sunday Law” and read it. I’m quoting now a little of what you say in the book. It touched my heart - “You can see that in Revelation 18:4, when God says “Come out of her my people that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues,” He’s calling you. It’s a love call. It’s God’s last call to all bornagain believers to separate themselves from organizations, no matter how friendly their members may be which are not obeying Jesus fully, and keeping all of God’s commandments.” Now I know that Jesus did not bring me here to this point for nothing. I want to do what He wants me to do. Now I’ve got to get out of this business that makes me work on His Sabbath. God says, “Lay not up for yourselves treasure on earth . . . for where your treasure is, there shall your heart be also.” Thank you Pastor Jan. In Christ, Sheryl

As the true light dawned upon their minds they exclaimed with rejoicing: ‘Christ is my priest; His blood is my sacrifice; His altar is my confessional.’ They cast themselves wholly upon the merits of Jesus. “The assurance of a Saviour’s love seemed too much for some of these poor tempest-tossed souls to realize. So great was the relief which it brought, such a flood of light was shed upon them, that they seemed transported to heaven. Their hands were laid confidingly in the hand of Christ; their feet were planted upon the Rock of Ages. [Praise God! This is going to happen again! God’s 144,000 will be the Waldenses of our day!

Often would words like these be uttered: ‘Will God indeed accept my offering? Will He smile upon me? Will He pardon me?’ The answer was read: ‘Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give your rest.’ Matthew 11:28. “Faith grasped the promise, and the glad response was heard: ‘No more long pilgrimages to make; no more painful journeys to holy shrines.
