Where Does Judgment Begin?
1. 1Peter 4:17 - "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God:”…"
2. Ezekiel 9:4-6 - " And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof….
...but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.”

Rebellion Analyzed by a Medical Doctor
November 2018, Phil Mills, MD 
The good news is that rebellion can be cured. Praise God. As we humble ourselves before God and renounce rebellion in our lives, God cleanses our heart from the consequences of rebellion.

We read in Scriptures in the book of Numbers 16 of the rebellion of Korah - and the consequences of that rebellion.
The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out--the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place.--2SM 380 (1886). {LDE 180.5}
The rebellion of Korah demonstrates the grim consequences of usurping the authority of God and of those whom He has chosen to be leaders of His people. Korah was of the same tribe as Moses and Aaron. He led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron, accusing them of exalting themselves above the congregation of the Lord (Numbers 16:1-3). Korah was not alone in his charge. He gathered 250 other men to challenge Moses’ authority as well: “You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the Lord is with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the Lord's assembly?” (Numbers 16:3).
Obviously, Korah thought that he could do a better job leading the people than Moses was doing. But by leading this revolt against God’s divinely appointed leaders, Korah was actually revolting against God (Numbers 16:11). Moses proposed a test to prove the source of his authority. Korah and his followers did not pass the test, and God opened up the earth and swallowed the rebels, their families, and all their possessions. Furthermore, “fire came out from the LORD” and consumed the other 250 men who were party to Korah’s rebellion.
Some 1,500 years later, Jude records a strong warning about such men who come into the church as false teachers, usurping to themselves the authority of God and His Word: “Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam’s error and perished in Korah’s rebellion” (Jude 1:11, emphasis added).
The characteristics of false teachers within the church include pride, selfishness, jealousy, greed, lust for power, and disregard for the will of God. Just like Korah, today’s false teachers disregard God’s plan and are insubordinate to God’s appointed authorities. Their end will be the same as Korah’s. Thus the warning: “Woe to them!”
"Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam.” Deuteronomy 24:9
Miriam was a very talented woman and one of the three most important leaders of Israel. She was also dissatisfied with her position. For her rebellion, the Lord struck her with advanced leprosy.
Does the story of Miriam remind you of someone else mentioned in the Bible? Someone who lived long before Miriam? Someone who changed completely?
- one who was given great responsibility and leadership early in life
- one who served just below the “chosen leader”
- one who led a massive choir
- one who first became dissatisfied with his/her position
- one who began murmuring to others
- one who thought he should be elevated to the same position as the chosen leader
- one who was jealous by not being consulted about significant plans
- one who was ultimately cast out
- one who chose never to return
The attempts at self-exaltation that Miriam and Lucifer chose are parallel in so many ways. The only difference is one repented and one steadfastly clings to his pride even knowing he will die in the desert.

Women’s Rights - Born in séances and trance speaking.
Could the continuing and growing influences of that movement at this time in earth’s history be the ‘seed’ for the current women’s ordination drive now sweeping the Seventh Day Adventist and other Protestant churches?
"Those who feel called out to join the movement in favor of woman’s rights and the so-called dress reform might as well sever all connection with the third angel’s message. The spirit which attends the one cannot be in harmony with the other. The Scriptures are plain upon the relations and rights of men and women. 1T 421

One cannot take a case to the Supreme Court three times, receive the same answer each time, and then say, "We don't accept the authority of the Supreme Court."
To debate those who wish to rewrite Scripture—with policy alone—is abandoning the outer courtyard defenses of biblical truth and withdrawing to an inner citadel only to discover that the enemy has pursued and infiltrated us there.
