THE TRUTH

All Bible commentarians agree that Isaiah chapters 1-4 are end-time in context. Years ago, I prayed literally in my closet to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for a proper understanding of Isaiah 4:1-4, with special emphasis on verse 1, as follows:
"And in that day SEVEN WOMEN shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach." Isa. 4:1.
I remained on my knees in my closet until I received an answer, and the answer I received was as follows:
1. "In that day" refers to the end-time.
2. "Seven Women" is indicative first of God's perfect all-inclusive number seven, which refers directly to all formally organized churches at the end of time.
3. "Women" is a term applied to the church many times in Scripture. So in taking the admonition of "a little here and a little there..." line upon line and precept upon precept...," along with the weight of evidence formula which directs us to interpret ALL THE EVIDENCE so than nothing contradicts, the Lord showed me the correct interpretation of women, as meaning "all formally organized churches."
4. The one man the churches take hold of is Jesus Christ. They want to be called by his name, "Christian" to take away their reproach.
5. What is their reproach? They are all eating their own bread, their own interpretation of doctrines and commandments of men, in lieu of God's clear directives in such areas. They are all "wearing their own apparel..." or their own garments of self-righteousness based on keeping some of the commandments and some of the doctrines, while omitting the weightier of these matters.
6. Conclusion: For these reasons, there will be a calling out of all formally organized churches. No denominational name has any power to bring us into favor with God. We are saved as individuals before Christ Jesus:
"We are not saved as a sect (eg. Catholic or SDA); no denominational name has ANY VIRTUE to bring us into favor with God. We are saved individually as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ." E.G. White, Review and Herald, Vol. 2, p. 464.
"God has a church. It is not the great cathedral, neither is it the national establishment, neither is it the various denominations; it is the people of God who love God and keep His commandments. 'Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them' (Matt. 18:20). Where Christ is even among the humble few, this is Christ's church, for the presence of the High and Holy One who in inhabititeth eternity can alone constitute a church. Where two or three are present who love and obey the commandments of God, Jesus there presides, let it be in the desolate place of the earth, in the wilderness, in the city enclosed in prison walls." E.G. White, The Upward Look, 315.
The express purpose for church organization was to forward the gospel commission. To whatever degree a church betrays that commission, it renders its organization as worthless! God can then take 1 to put 10,000 to flight! He then takes the reins into His own hands, and who can say that the people he personally leads are not "organized?" Who dares to say such? I do not! God used 12 disciples and the seventy to take the gospel to the then known world, and He can take a literal 144,000 Generals, and lead His army of Joel 2, to victory. He can raise people from their graves at the end-time to take the gospel to the world, as He did at the time of His resurrection. For any denomination or organized church to assume or presume that God needs them, is the heighth of utopian self-righteousness and folly! The Catholic and SDA churches have made that great mistake, as to all formally organized churches.
"The Lord Jesus will always have a chosen people to serve Him. When the Jewish people rejected Christ, the Prince of life. He took from them the kingdom of God and gave it unto the Gentiles. God will continue to work on this principle with every branch of His work. When a church proves unfaithful to the work of the Lord, whatever their position may be, however high and sacred their calling, the Lord can no longer work with them. Others are then chosen to bear important responsibilities. But, if these in turn do not purify their lives from every wrong action, if they do not establish pure and holy principles in all their borders, then the Lord will grievously afflict and humble them and, unless they repent, will remove them from their place and make them a reproach.God is not 'worshipped with men's hands, as tough he needed any thing' (Acts 17:25). E. G. White, The Upward Look, 131.

The Catholic as well as the SDA church both believe that they are totally indispensable to the finishing of God's work on earth, and both are alike totally wrong!
