God has shown me that we are in it now. Those who are being swept up in the furver of the false revival cannot see where we are right now.
The two sides (two parties) are definitely forming and strengthening now, and we are seeing some very real and increasing foretastes of what is coming. And yes, it is becoming more and more obvious where the majority is, but the actual splitting apart of the church itself has not yet happened. When it does it will be a most terrible ordeal.
Contrary to what many think -- Adventist churches will not be standing empty, Adventist hospitals and universities will not be closed down. Most (not all as the true Seventh-day Adventist Church will continue and be a united force for truth) but the huge majority will join the popular movement and be the "state recognized" and ecumenically approved Adventist church.
The "false revival" comes to build the memberships confidence that the leadership will take the institutional church through the troubleous times so when the split comes the members will follow the majority.
Wheat and tares are in the church, we see all kinds of compromises, but we still recognize it as God's church, but when the split (the big shaking) comes how do we know we can't follow the majority and stay "with the main church"?
Prophecy and scripture has given us a SIGN --
Duet.31:13 Verily you shall keep my Sabbath: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that they may know that I am the LORD that sanctifies you.
Matt. 24:15 When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand: )
24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
When Sunday is uplifted in the Adventist church, then it is time to flee that church. The true Seventh-day Adventist Church will be small, it won't be the majority.
That's why the issue in Samoa is so troubling for me. The church has split on those Islands (not officially as all are still "Seventh-day Adventists" though in actuality it has split) the majority keeping Sunday, the minority keeping Saturday, and the question there is "Who are the true Seventh-day Adventists"?
That question will face us all in the near future.
