DOES YOUR CHARACTER REFLECT THE IMAGE OF CHRIST?

Written by Dionne Sabbay Thompson July 14, 2012 (Revised)

ALERT! Have you been daily praying, asking CHRIST to take full control of your soulcausing you to rest in perfect harmony with HIM? If not, then you are placing your life at-risk for eternal loss, as a serious storm lies directly ahead, JACOB'S TIME OF TROUBLE Jer. 30:7, Dan. 12:1.

"We are to be wholly transformed into the likeness of CHRIST" see Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers p. 506.

Please watch this video regarding calamities that have occurred in 2013. Note: "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape" 1Thess. 5:3. When the wicked are separated from the mercy of God, every man becomes an enemy, as Gods wrath will become fully developed, unmingled with mercy, as never witnessed before in the history of earths existence Eze. 9:3-6, Dan. 12:1, Rev. 14:9-11, 16:1-21.

Similar to the Egyptian plagues during the times of the great Exodus, the seven last plagues will be caused by mans continual act of hardening their hearts, resulting in rapid degeneration and destruction caused from the power of sin James 1:15. The plagues that occurred in Egypt will be similar to what will occur during the end-times, however, the end-time plagues will be global, because the world at-large and its New World Order will have rejected the Everlasting Gospel power of GOD Rom. 1:16-20. The last invitation of mercy is being presented now, and its rejection will cause probation to close for the entire globe, followed by GODs separation from those who choose the government of self over Gods merciful self-sacrificing government Rev. 14:17-20.

TWO DISTINCT IMAGES

IMAGE OF CHRIST

1. The image of CHRIST will reflect HIS character transcript, consisting of those fully surrendered souls that keep the Ten Commandments of GOD and have the testimony of CHRIST/YESHUA see Isa. 8:20; Rev. 12:17, 14:12. The image of CHRIST will reflect a character of self-sacrificing love, exalting only CHRIST/YESHUA the CREATOR of the universe see Gal. 2:20, Col. 1:16.

IMAGE OF THE BEAST

2. The image of the Beast will reflect the character of satan, consisting of those who have surrendered their souls to the dragon, the devil, by default or by intention. Satan's government of self seeks to exalt self while trampling upon the Character Transcript of GOD, found in Exo. 20, written with the Finger of GOD see Exo. 31:18. There is no neutral ground - see Rev. 3:14-22. Laodicea is unacceptable in the sight of GOD. Regarding the image of the Beast or False Protestantism emerging from the United States of America (known as the Lamb-like Beastwith two horns representing civil and religious liberty) see the following scriptures: Rev. 13:11, 15, 16:2.

Also see A Soul Sealed at Character Perfection p. 37-41.

WHEN WILL THE LATTER RAIN/LOUD CRY REACH ITS PEAK? ANSWER: The Latter rain can not abundantly outpour until the first set of GODs remnant's SEALING occurs. Such individuals will possess advanced light regarding the 1888

3
messages of Righteousness by faith, the true 7th-day Sabbath and the false sundaysabbath 1Pet. 4:17. Once GOD's remnant utilize CHRIST's purity to cleanse their character defects in its entirety, then satan (as a final testing measure) will be given permission to enforce Sunday laws within the United States of America. GOD will not permit satan to enforce Sunday laws until HIS remnant are completely cleansed from sin and sealed (able to stand amidst the 7 last plagues Rev. 16). Regarding CHRISTs issue of holding back the winds of strife, until the servants of GOD are sealed, please see also Early Writings p. 36-38.

Historically, within the USA, in or about 18891890, satan moved Senator Henry Blair to begin legislation for Sunday law's enforcement, however, GOD would not permit its passing as the servants of GOD were not sealed. Consequently, Elder A.T. Jones, a messenger of GOD, was sent to advocate against its enforcement.

ALERT: SINCE JUDGMENT BEGINS AT THE HOUSE OF GOD (1Pet. 4:17), AT THE ENFORCEMENT OF SUNDAY LAWS WITHIN THE USA, PROBATION WILL CLOSE FOR THOSE WITH ADVANCED LIGHT REGARDING THE 1888 MESSAGES, THE 7TH-DAY SABBATH'S SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST BEING ENFORCED SUNDAY LAW - Rev. 13:11-18.

Additionally, Pursuant to Mark 4:28, GOD's first set of remnant will have reached the stage known as the the ear once they have utilized CHRIST's purity to cleanse their character defects in its entirety, thus causing their investigative judgment issue to be fully determined by CHRIST, our GREATEST HIGH PRIEST see Rev. 11:18. It should be noted that these individuals who are first sealed will continue in their capacity as Loud criers at the point of the enforcement of Sunday laws in the USA (when the most abundant measure of latter rain will begin to outpour): and, [they] will become messengers who will give the final warning to the final body of believers on Planet Earth; calling GODs second set of remnant out of Spiritual Babylon. GODs second group of sealed individuals will then join the first sealed body of individuals, forming the 144,000, living Saints, HIS firstfruits, who have followed CHRIST into the Most Holy Place, thereforehaving HIS FATHERs name written in their foreheads see Rev. 14:1-5.

But GOD still has a people in Babylon; and before the visitation of HIS judgments these faithful ones must be called out, that they partake not of her sins and receive not of her plagues. Hence the movement symbolized by the angel coming down from heaven, lightening the earth with his glory and crying mightily with a strong voice, announcing the sins of Babylon. In connection with his message the call is heard: Come out of her, My people. These announcements, uniting with the third angels message, constitute the final warning to be given to the inhabitants of the earth.1

When the second and last group, (who were called out of Spiritual Babylon) become sealed, PROBATION WILL CLOSE FOR PLANET EARTH and the 7 last plagues will procedurally begin to take its course see Rev. 22:11-12.

WHEN DOES THE INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT FOR THE LIVING OCCUR? Answer: Before the final reward is given, it must be decided who are fitted to share the inheritance of the righteous. This decision must be made prior to the second coming of Christ in the clouds of heaven; for when He comes, His reward is with Him, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:12. Before His coming, then, the character of every mans work will have been determined, and to every one of Christs followers the reward will have been apportioned according to his deeds. It is while men are still dwelling upon the earth that the work of investigative judgment takes place in the courts of heaven. The lives of all His professed followers pass in review before God. All are examined according to the record of the books of heaven, and according to his deeds the destiny of each is forever fixed. By the wedding garment in the parable is represented the pure, spotless character which Christs true followers will possess. To the church it is given that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing. Revelation 19:8; Ephesians 5:27. The fine linen, says the Scripture, is the righteousness of saints. Revelation 19:8. It is the righteousness of Christ, His own unblemished character, that through faith is imparted to all who receive Him as their personal Saviour. 2

Citing the Review and Herald's periodical dated, August 18, 1891 paragraphs 9-12: The great crisis is before us, and every one is to act as though his own soul was at stake. The most important question of all is, How shall I save my soul, for which Christ died? How shall I be holy, as he is holy? It is time to be seeking for the forgiveness of your sins, for the assurance that your names are written in the Lambs book of life. Let every one realize that he is not his own, but has been bought with a price, even with the blood of the Son of God. Live by the day for Christ. Seek to be a victor just for this one day; for you do not know that you have another day to live. Confess your sins today. You have the promises of pardon. The Lord says, Let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. God is in earnest with us. He has borne long and patiently with us, and the light that has shone upon us from the throne of his glory will not lessen our responsibility, but, if we fail to improve it, will leave us without excuse. God will not be trifled with. You may ask, What shall I do to advance the light of truth? I answer, Work humbly for God; do not exalt yourself, but remember that you are standing upon holy ground. We are living in the last days, and the great question is, How shall I stand before God? Every one is responsible for the light he has received. What have you done with the light of heaven? Have you put it under a bushel? There is a great work to be done; for we

are to reach the people with the divine light of truth, not in our own way, but through the power and Spirit of God. God will use us as instruments in his hand, if we will yield ourselves to him. O that all may make the effort essential to win eternal life! Every soul is precious in the sight of God. He declares by the prophet, I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir. This preciousness will be wrought in the soul that is connected with Christ; but our own ways must be abandoned, our own thoughts must be put away".3
