Laodicea, Her Authority, Organization, and Destiny

-Protestant Reformation's Final Movement, or God's End Time Church-In Revelation 3:14-21, God's end time church is named Laodicea. In those verses, His remnant people are described as having the tendency to evaluate their spiritual condition, and work, at a much higher quality than is Christ's judgment of it. He states that the Laodicean church, though entrusted with the knowledge of His last warning messages for the world are spiritually "wretched," "miserable," "poor," "blind," and "naked." (verse 17). Matthew 25:1-13 is the parable of the ten virgins waiting to attend a wedding feast. In this account Jesus is also describing His remnant people. Christ's story says that "while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept." (verse 5).This present volume is a Bible and Spirit of Prophecy study regarding the form of, and reasons why, Christ brought His end time people into a highly organized movement. It also describes how Christ's ordained methods of operating His organization tend to be abused, and even ignored. It explains how His people tend to operate Christ's publishing, educational, health, and even ministerial work more in harmony with the wisdom and wishes of man and the world than with the clear directives of the Lord whom we claim to be serving.But, all is not gloom and doom. There is counsel as to how to revive from the Laodicean condition. This present volume goes into detail as to what Christ will do to awaken His people. It presents the inspired explanations as to how His remnant will be "shaken" into the condition necessary for Him to be able to pour out upon them the Latter Rain to empower and equip them to give the Loud Cry and thus finish His work upon this earth. Entire chapters are dedicated to the divine instructions regarding the importance of not running ahead of, but cooperating with, Christ in these important dealings with His people.Table of Contents1-The Church That Knowest Not2-Messages to Laodicea3-Lessons From the Apostolic Church4-Lessons From Early Adventism5-Purposes and Scope of Church Organization6-Authority in God's Church7-God's Plan Misused8-God's Plan Misused-Part 29-Supportive Ministries10-Supportive Ministries-Part 211-Man's Responses to Apostasy12-The Remnant Church's Response to Apostasy13-The Role of Leadership in Revival and Reformation14-The Shaking of Adventism-Phase One15-The Shaking of Adventism-Phase Two16-The Shaking of Adventism-Phase Three17-When God's Two Churches Become One18-Running Ahead of the Lord19-Holding Up the Hands of the Prophet20-By Every Word21-A Theocracy Still22-When God Takes the ReinsAppendix A-Should There Be a General Conference President?Appendix B-The Right Man in the Right PlaceAppendix C-Should There Be a World General Conference?Appendix D-The Laodicean ChurchAppendix E-Order and OrganizationAppendix F-How to Deal with Wrongs in the ChurchAppendix G-ApostasyAppendix H-Lessons From Josiah's ReignAppendix I-Lessons From the Apostasy at SinaiAppendix J-Lessons From the Church in the Wilderness
