Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision:
for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Joel 3:14
"The laborers will be qualified rather by the unction of His Spirit than by the training of literary institutions. Men of faith and prayer will be constrained to go forth with holy zeal, declaring the words which God gives them. The sins of Babylon will be laid open.
The fearful results of
* enforcing the observances of the church by civil authority,
* the inroads of spiritualism,
* the stealthy but rapid progress of the papal power--
all will be unmasked. By these solemn warnings the people will be stirred. Thousands upon thousands will listen who have never heard words like these."
Great Controversy p.606 E.G.W.
As we look around todays religio-political landscape:
CIVIL AUTHORITY- Governments
SPIRITUALISM- Charistmatic movement (within religion) & the Green Religion (within secular & governmental agencies)
PAPAL POWER- Papacy
