Bible Nuts For Seventh
Dayists to Crack
If They Can
Preliminary

heresies there are today. The earth is full of
them, as the Bible has clearly told us it would be-
This is one scripturally announced sign that the
end of the age is upon u.s. and that the Coming OF
the Lord draweth nigh.
Heresy is false doctrine and practice among
the professed people of God-I Corinthians
II 10 and II Peter FL. Heresies are always
brought in by heretics = those who apostatize
from the faith and leave Gods people, the true
Zion Il John S, 6 2:19 and II John Oil.
These heresies and isms of these closing days of
the age are rightly named strong delusions" or
energies of satan = II Thessalonians 2:11-
and doctrines of demons" i Timothy Al.
They are part Of the end-time propaganda
constituting THE GREAT APOSTASY and are
destined to produce the antichrist Il John Z:lS-
22) the man of sin GI Thessalonians 2:3, 4), the
awful and terrible beast-system of Revelation Is
and IL.
Among the many "damnable heresies" and isms
of this hour there is none more absurd, prepos-
ferrous, demoniacal and deceptive thu n
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISM.
In this article we purpose to show its absurdity
and unscripturalness in three respects only
l. THE CLEANSING OF THE SANG
TUARY. = Daniel 8:13, IA.
Their heretical position is that the 2,3OO days
here represent 2,3OO years, reaching from the
commandment to restore and build Jerusalem in
ID. y. 4O/ \lney Sdy) Inc HISl fSU years lNcy
make Daniels Seventy Weeks, fulfilled in "a A.
D. (they say again) when the Christ was cruel
fed
Four hundred ninety from $500 leaves 1910
years this side the Cruchxion until the sanctuary
would be cleansed. Eighteen hundred ten plus
"a gives 1844 A. D. for the cleansing of the
sanctuary. Then, they say the investigative judg-
ment began in heaven and continues until the
Lord comes
They make out that the sanctuary cleansed is
in heaven - not in Jerusalem, on earth, where
Daniel, Chapter Eight has it as if sanctuary
in the very presence of God in the third heaven
could be de6led and need cleansing!
The sanctuary to be cleansed is the one the
Revived Roman Empire restored Jews will build
the beginninglof the last seven years in the
Gentle Times.
This sanctuary will be cleansed by the re-
moval of the image of the beast, ETC., thirty days
after the seven years close = Daniel 12:11 -
and the Millennium begins at the end of the 1886
days The 126O, 1920, and the 1886 days of
Daniel 125-13 all begin exactly in the middle of
the last seven years, when the image of the anti
christ-beast is set up in the Jewish rebuilt temple
at jerusalem
The removal of that image and the cleansing
of that sanctuary ends the 2,3OO days = literal
days, not years. The Bible means what it says
D. THE DEVILS PRISON HOUSE Re
velation 2O:1-7
They actually teach that the Lord will come
and catch up all the saints, at which time He will
annihllate all that are not saints - every
person. That will depopulate the earth Then
satan will be confined to for one thousand years
to follow
How absurd! How preposterous! How un-
scriptural!
Satan is bound = restrained - and shut up in
prison - not depopulated earth, but "the bot
tomess pit, the Abyss, Tartarus, Hades.
In II Peter a, the word "hel" is the transa-
tion of the Greek word tartarus and that is where
the angels that sinned were cast. That is the
"prison" of Revelation 20:1-7 in which the devil
and all his demons are cast for thousand years
Instead of that being a depopulated earth, it
is under the EARTH and is also referred to in the
Bible 'the deep" ''the lower parts of the
EARTH" ETC.
How absurd is the SEVENTH DAY AD-
VENT HERESY!
Here is a nut for them to crack their teeth on
child can answer this, but they cannot without
surrendering in the battle:
How can satan occupy depopulated earth for
thousand years, as prison, and yet at their
expiration find not only individuals but whole
nations on that same earth?
Read Revelation 207-o
How can he deceive a huge multitude lead
them up around the Holy City Jerusalem on the
earth), when there is no Holy City Cor any other
city,, no individuals, no nations, on the earth -
no living being of any kind but the devil?
Their heresy is really too absurd to dignity
with answer
g. THAT CHRISTIANS SHOULD KEEP
SATURDAY - If they keep Sunday they have
received the mark of the beast
