WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Davidian Seventh-day Adventists Mt. Carmel Center

Dear Brethren:
The Lord is coming in His chariot October 10 to purify the Davidian camp. And they send a warning to all honest souls at Mt. Carmel to flee the Hill shortly after the meeting. For the Lord is going to rain terror on the Hill because of her sins.
This is what they say; then, they give us their proof from Inspiration.
The stick, Davidian Seventh-day Adventists, has the name Judah written on it; “Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions.” Eze. 37:16. The names Jerusalem and Aholibah are also written on the stick. “And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.” Eze. 23:4.
“And when her sister (Aholah’s sister) Aholibah saw this, she (Aholibah) was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister (Aholah, Seventh-day Adventists) in her whoredoms.” Eze. 23:11.
“And thine elder sister is Samaria (Seventh-day Adventists), she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister (Davidian Seventh-day Adventists), that dwelleth at thy right hand, is SODOM and her daughters.” Eze. 16:46.
“Samaria (Seventh-day Adventists) …prophesied in Baal.” Jer. 23:13. The Lord saw in the prophets of Jerusalem (Davidian Seventh-day Adventists) horrible things of wickedness. And says they are unto Him as SODOM and GOMORRAH. “I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his

wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.” Jer. 23:14.
If the first part of Jeremiah 23:1-8 applies to the 144,000 after the purification, then,Jeremiah 23:10-40 applies to Seventh-day Adventist and Davidian Seventh-day Adventists before the purification; “…in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.” Jer. 23:20.
It is not right for us to accept all the nice things the Lord says about us and then deny all the bad things of which He says we are guilty.
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, the were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is REVEALED. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE.” Luke 17:26-32.
“Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and TAKETH NOT WARNING; IF THE SWORD COME, AND TAKE HlM AWAY, HIS BLOOD SHALL BE UPON HIS OWN HEAD. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.” Eze. 33:2-5.
“So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore THOU SHALT HEAR THE WORD AT MY MOUTH, AND WARN THEM FROM ME ….HIS BLOOD WILL I REQUIRE AT THINE HAND.” Eze. 33:7,8.
So everyone is to flee from Sodom and not look back. “REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE.” Luke 17:32. This is what the people are saying, and they say God is saying it, too.
