  • PROVERB OF THE DAY

    (Proverbs 30)

    1. The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, his utterance. This man declared to Ithiel—to Ithiel and Ucal:

    2 . Surely I am more stupid than any man,
    And do not have the understanding of a man.

    3. I neither learned wisdom
    Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.

    4. Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?
    Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
    Who has bound the waters in a garment?
    Who has established all the ends of the earth?
    What is His name, and what is His Son’s name,
    If you know?

    5. Every word of God is pure;
    He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.

    6. Do not add to His words,
    Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.

    7. Two things I request of You
    (Deprive me not before I die):

    8. Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
    Give me neither poverty nor riches—
    Feed me with the food allotted to me;

    9. Lest I be full and deny You,
    And say, “Who is the LORD?”
    Or lest I be poor and steal,
    And profane the name of my God.

    10. Do not malign a servant to his master,
    Lest he curse you, and you be found guilty.

    11. There is a generation that curses its father,
    And does not bless its mother.

    12. There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
    Yet is not washed from its filthiness.

    13. There is a generation—oh, how lofty are their eyes!
    And their eyelids are lifted up.

    14. There is a generation whose teeth are like swords,
    And whose fangs are like knives,
    To devour the poor from off the earth,
    And the needy from among men.

    15. The leech has two daughters—
    Give and Give!

    There are three things that are never satisfied,
    Four never say, “Enough!”:

    16. The grave,
    The barren womb,
    The earth that is not satisfied with water—
    And the fire never says, “Enough!”

    17. The eye that
    mocks his father,
    And scorns obedience to his mother,
    The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
    And the young eagles will eat it.

    18. There are three things which. are too wonderful for me,
    Yes, four which I do not understand:

    19. The way of an eagle in the air,
    The way of a serpent on a rock,
    The way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
    And the way of a man with a virgin.

    20. This is the way of an adulterous woman:
    She eats and wipes her mouth,
    And says, “I have done no wickedness.”

    21. For three things the earth is perturbed,
    Yes, for four it cannot bear up:

    22. For a servant when he reigns,
    A fool when he is filled with food,

    23. A hateful woman
    when she is married,
    And a maidservant who succeeds her mistress.

    24. There are four things which are little on the earth,
    But they are exceedingly wise:

    25. The ants are a people not strong,
    Yet they prepare their food in the summer;

    26. The rock badgers are a feeble folk, Yet they
    make their homes in the crags;

    27. The locusts have no king,
    Yet they all advance in ranks;

    28. The spider
    skillfully grasps with its hands,
    And it is in kings’ palaces.

    29. There are three things which are majestic in pace,
    Yes, four which are stately in walk:

    30. A lion, which is mighty among beasts
    And does not turn away from any;

    31 A greyhound,
    A male goat also,
    And a king whose troops
    are with him.

    32. If you have been foolish in exalting yourself,
    Or if you have devised evil, put your hand on your mouth.

    33. For as the churning of milk produces butter,
    And wringing the nose produces blood,So the
    forcing of wrath produces strife.

    WHY DOES REVELATION POINT TO ROME AS BABYLON—AND WHAT DEADLY “WINE” IS INTOXICATING THE WORLD?

    “Babylon… made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” — Revelation 14:8

    John saw something terrifying:

    A WOMAN WITH A GOLDEN CUP.
    KINGS UNITED WITH HER.
    NATIONS DRINKING.
    A WORLD INTOXICATED.

    Revelation 17:1–6

    This is not merely about ancient Rome.

    It is about WORSHIP. AUTHORITY. DECEPTION. CONSCIENCE.

    And ultimately—

    CHRIST OR HUMAN AUTHORITY: WHO WILL RULE THE HEART?

    Before pointing at Babylon, therefore, ask:

    IS ANYTHING IN HER CUP ALREADY IN MINE?
    ---

    ① THE WOMAN—RELIGION THAT BECAME UNFAITHFUL TO CHRIST

    A pure woman symbolizes God's faithful people.

    “I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.” — Jeremiah 6:2

    But Revelation 17 shows a harlot.

    Why?

    Because she still appears religious—

    yet has become unfaithful to her rightful Husband.

    “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT.” — Revelation 17:5

    Babylon is therefore not merely irreligion.

    It is something more deceptive:

    RELIGION WITHOUT FAITHFULNESS TO CHRIST AND HIS WORD.

    The greatest danger may not be rejecting the Bible—

    but using the Bible while placing another authority above it.
    ---

    ② WHY ROME?—FOLLOW THE PROPHETIC MARKERS

    Revelation does not ask us to guess.

    The woman sits upon seven mountains. — Revelation 17:9

    She is connected with the city that “reigneth over the kings of the earth.” — Revelation 17:18

    In John's day, that ruling city was Rome.

    Daniel had already foretold a power arising from the Roman world that would:

    SPEAK GREAT WORDS.
    PERSECUTE THE SAINTS.
    THINK TO CHANGE TIMES AND LAW.

    Daniel 7:23–25

    Revelation 13 continues the same prophetic pattern.

    This is why historic Protestant interpreters identified papal Rome as a central fulfillment of these prophecies.

    But notice carefully:

    PROPHECY IDENTIFIES A SYSTEM—NOT EVERY PERSON WITHIN IT.

    For God Himself says:

    “Come out of her, MY PEOPLE.” — Revelation 18:4

    CHRIST HAS PEOPLE EVEN WHERE ERROR EXISTS.
    ---

    ③ HER FORNICATION—WHEN THE BRIDE REACHES FOR CAESAR

    Why does God call it fornication?

    Because the church belongs to one Husband.

    “I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 11:2

    Yet Babylon joins herself to:

    “The kings of the earth.” — Revelation 17:2

    Here lies the prophetic tragedy:

    THE BRIDE REACHES FOR CAESAR WHEN SHE SHOULD CLING TO CHRIST.

    Religion seeks government power to accomplish what Christ entrusted to truth and the Holy Spirit.

    Ellen White warns that when churches seek civil power to enforce religious observances, the principles of the prophetic image to the beast are reproduced. — The Great Controversy, p. 445

    Jesus declared:

    “My kingdom is not of this world.” — John 18:36

    CHRIST WINS CONSCIENCES.
    BABYLON SEEKS TO CONTROL THEM.
    ---

    ④ THE WINE—ERROR THAT MAKES CROOKED THINGS LOOK STRAIGHT

    Why wine?

    Because intoxication does something frightening:

    IT DISTORTS PERCEPTION.

    A drunken man can feel perfectly confident—

    while walking crooked.

    So can a religious person.

    “A golden cup in her hand full of abominations.” — Revelation 17:4

    Ellen White identifies this intoxicating cup with the false doctrines Babylon has received and communicated to the world. — The Great Controversy, p. 388

    Here is the warning:

    THE CUP IS GOLDEN—BUT GOLD DOES NOT PURIFY WHAT IS INSIDE.

    Falsehood rarely conquers by announcing:

    “I am false.”

    It comes dressed as—

    TRADITION.
    AUTHORITY.
    ANTIQUITY.
    POPULARITY.
    RELIGION.

    Therefore:

    “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21

    NEVER CONFUSE AN ANCIENT BELIEF WITH AN INSPIRED BELIEF.
    ---

    ⑤ FIRST INTOXICATION—TRADITION ABOVE “IT IS WRITTEN”

    Jesus exposed this danger directly:

    “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition.” — Mark 7:13

    That is Babylon's operating principle:

    MAN'S WORD WHERE GOD'S WORD SHOULD RULE.

    Jesus defeated Satan three times with:

    “IT IS WRITTEN.” — Matthew 4:4,7,10

    That must become our foundation too.

    Not—

    “My church teaches it.”

    “My family always believed it.”

    “Millions cannot be wrong.”

    But:

    “WHAT IS WRITTEN?”

    “To the law and to the testimony.” — Isaiah 8:20

    FAITH DOES NOT ASK TRADITION FOR PERMISSION TO OBEY GOD.
    ---

    ⑥ THE OLD WINE—“YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE”

    The first doctrinal contradiction in Scripture came from the serpent.

    God said:

    “Thou shalt surely die.” — Genesis 2:17

    Satan answered:

    “Ye shall not surely die.” — Genesis 3:4

    Scripture still declares:

    “The dead know not any thing.” — Ecclesiastes 9:5

    “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” — Ezekiel 18:4

    Why does this matter in the last days?

    Because Revelation predicts supernatural deception.

    “Spirits of devils, working miracles.” — Revelation 16:14

    If Satan can impersonate the dead—

    a false doctrine about death can become a doorway for a false supernatural experience.

    THE SERPENT'S FIRST LIE MAY HELP PREPARE THE WORLD FOR HIS FINAL DECEPTION.

    Our safety?

    “Thy word have I hid in mine heart.” — Psalm 119:11
    ---

    ⑦ THE GREAT QUESTION—WHO HAS AUTHORITY TO DEFINE WORSHIP?

    God sanctified the seventh day.

    Genesis 2:2–3

    God wrote:

    “The seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God.” — Exodus 20:10

    Jesus declared:

    “The Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.” — Mark 2:28

    Revelation's final crisis is unmistakably about worship.

    “Worship Him that made heaven, and earth.” — Revelation 14:7

    versus:

    “If any man worship the beast and his image…” — Revelation 14:9

    Then Heaven points to the faithful:

    “Here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” — Revelation 14:12

    So the deepest Sabbath question is not merely:

    WHICH DAY?

    It is:

    WHO IS LORD?

    If Jesus is Lord—

    His Word outranks every human tradition.
    ---

    ⑧ THE MOST DANGEROUS WINE—ANYTHING THAT OBSCURES CHRIST

    At Babylon's deepest level, the issue is not merely a collection of incorrect doctrines.

    It is another authority standing where Christ belongs.

    Scripture declares:

    “There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” — 1 Timothy 2:5

    “Neither is there salvation in any other.” — Acts 4:12

    No human priesthood can replace His mediation.

    No human merit can supplement His sacrifice.

    No human authority can outrank His Word.

    CHRIST IS ENOUGH.

    CHRIST OUR SACRIFICE.
    CHRIST OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
    CHRIST OUR HIGH PRIEST.
    CHRIST OUR MEDIATOR.
    CHRIST OUR SAVIOR.

    “We have a great high priest… Jesus the Son of God.” — Hebrews 4:14

    THE MORE CLEARLY CHRIST IS SEEN, THE LESS ROOM REMAINS FOR COUNTERFEITS.

    ---

    ⑨ WHY DO KINGS DRINK?—BECAUSE ERROR EVENTUALLY WANTS POWER

    Babylon's wine does not remain inside a church.

    Revelation shows a terrifying progression:

    ERROR BECOMES ALLIANCE.
    ALLIANCE BECOMES LEGISLATION.
    LEGISLATION BECOMES PRESSURE.
    PRESSURE BECOMES COERCED WORSHIP.

    “No man might buy or sell…” — Revelation 13:17

    Finally:

    “Cause that as many as would not worship… should be killed.” — Revelation 13:15

    But Jesus never forced a conscience.

    He said:

    “If any man will come after Me…” — Matthew 16:24

    And:

    “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock.” — Revelation 3:20

    Notice the difference:

    **JESUS KNOCKS.

    BABYLON COMPELS.**

    TRUTH NEEDS NO SWORD TO MAKE IT TRUE.

    ---

    ⑩ WHY DOES THE WORLD BECOME DRUNK?—SINCERITY CAN EXIST WITHOUT TRUTH

    Here is what makes deception terrifying:

    A deceived person usually does not know he is deceived.

    “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” — Proverbs 14:12

    Sincerity matters.

    But sincerity cannot transform error into truth.

    So the Bereans did something every last-day Christian must learn:

    “They searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” — Acts 17:11

    They did not ask:

    “WHO SAID IT?”

    They asked:

    “IS IT WRITTEN?”

    THE SAFEST CHRISTIAN IS NOT THE ONE WHO NEVER QUESTIONS HIS TRADITION—BUT THE ONE WHO LETS SCRIPTURE QUESTION EVERYTHING.
    ---

    ⑪ NOW TURN THE PROPHECY AROUND—IS BABYLON IN ME?

    We can correctly identify prophetic Babylon—

    and still possess Babylon's spirit.

    That should make us tremble.

    DO I LOVE TRUTH WHEN IT CORRECTS ME?

    DO I OBEY WHEN OBEDIENCE COSTS ME?

    DO I DEFEND SCRIPTURE—or merely my interpretation?

    DO I WANT CHRIST TO RULE—or simply to confirm what I already believe?

    “Search me, O God, and know my heart.” — Psalm 139:23

    Prophecy was never given merely to expose somebody else's apostasy.

    IT WAS GIVEN TO PREPARE MY CHARACTER FOR CHRIST'S COMING.

    Knowing Babylon cannot save me.

    “This is life eternal, that they might know Thee… and Jesus Christ.” — John 17:3
    ---

    ⑫ THE ANTIDOTE TO BABYLON'S WINE—THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL

    This may be the most beautiful truth in the whole prophecy.

    Before Heaven cries:

    “BABYLON IS FALLEN!” — Revelation 14:8

    Heaven first proclaims:

    “THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL.” — Revelation 14:6

    That order is deliberate.

    Before God exposes the counterfeit—

    HE REVEALS CHRIST.

    Before He calls people out—

    HE GIVES THEM SOMEONE TO COME TO.

    Babylon offers intoxicating wine.

    Jesus cries:

    “If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink.” — John 7:37

    Babylon elevates human authority.

    Jesus says:

    “Thy word is truth.” — John 17:17

    Babylon reaches for earthly power.

    Jesus conquers through Calvary:

    “I… will draw all men unto Me.” — John 12:32

    THE FINAL MESSAGE IS NOT BABYLON-CENTERED.

    IT IS LAMB-CENTERED.

    The purpose of exposing Babylon is not merely to make people leave error—

    BUT TO BRING THEM TO JESUS.

    ---

    ⑬ “COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE”—THE VOICE BEHIND THE WARNING IS LOVE

    Perhaps the tenderest words in the prophecy are:

    “Come out of her, MY PEOPLE.” — Revelation 18:4

    MY PEOPLE.

    Not:

    “My enemies.”

    Not:

    “People beyond salvation.”

    MY PEOPLE.

    God has sincere people inside systems containing error.

    Therefore true present truth produces tears—not hatred.

    We do not attack Catholics.

    We do not despise Protestants.

    We do not exalt ourselves.

    WE EXPOSE ERROR—
    LOVE PEOPLE—
    OPEN SCRIPTURE—
    AND LIFT UP CHRIST.

    “The wonderful love of Christ will melt and subdue hearts.” — The Desire of Ages, p. 826
    ---

    WHEN JESUS SHOWS YOU TRUTH THAT CROSSES YOUR TRADITION, YOUR COMFORT, YOUR REPUTATION, OR YOUR CHERISHED OPINION—WILL YOU FOLLOW THE LAMB?

    That is present truth brought home to the heart.

    DON'T MERELY IDENTIFY THE GOLDEN CUP.

    REFUSE THE WINE.
    OPEN THE WORD.
    FOLLOW THE LAMB.
    DRINK DEEPLY FROM CHRIST.

    “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst.” — John 4:14

WE EXPOSE ERROR— LOVE PEOPLE— OPEN SCRIPTURE— AND LIFT UP CHRIST. “The wonderful love of Christ will melt and subdue hearts.” — The Desire of Ages, p. 826 --- WHEN JESUS SHOWS YOU TRUTH THAT CROSSES YOUR TRADITION, YOUR COMFORT, YOUR REPUTATION, OR YOUR CHERISHED OPINION—WILL YOU FOLLOW THE LAMB? That is present truth brought home to the heart. DON'T MERELY IDENTIFY THE GOLDEN CUP. REFUSE THE WINE. OPEN THE WORD. FOLLOW THE LAMB. DRINK DEEPLY FROM CHRIST. “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst.” — John 4:14

  • St. Augustine of Hippo

    St. Augustine was the son of St. Monica and was born on November 13, 354. He led a wicked life of parties and entertainment and then converted to Christian faith by the prayers of his mother St. Monica. He got the sudden change of mind when he heard the conversion of two persons after reading the life of St. Antony. He cried to the God to forgive him from his sins and sinful life. At that time when he was praying to God, a child nearby was singing "Take up and read". He thought that it is a message to him from God and started reading the book of letters of St. Paul. From then on St. Augustine began a new life. Baptized in the year 387 and then he became a priest in the year 391. He also became a very famous Christian thinker and writer. He became the Bishop of Hippo Regius in the year 391 and remained in that post till his death on August 28, 430. St. Augustine vigorously condemned the practice of induced abortion. He stressed infant baptism. He was of the full faith that the Virgin Mary conceived as virgin, gave birth as virgin and stayed virgin forever.

    He healed one person from his illness by laying his hands on the head of that person. He was proclaimed as Doctor of the Church by Pope Boniface-VIII in the year 1298. He is one of the greatest catholic saints ever lived.

  • The same Lord who was born from Mary is the One who we can call on today, thank you God and His angels for being with Jesus when he came more than 2000 years ago, and also today, so that we can call on Him still.

    Romans 10:13 NET
    For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.


    Luke 1:26-28 NET
    In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary.

  • 2 Samuel 13

    1 After some time, David’s son Amnon fell in love with Tamar, the beautiful sister of David’s son Absalom.
    2 Amnon was sick with frustration over his sister Tamar, for she was a virgin, and it seemed implausible for him to do anything to her.
    3 Now Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very shrewd man,
    4 so he asked Amnon, “Why are you, the son of the king, so depressed morning after morning? Won’t you tell me?” Amnon replied, “I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.”
    5 Jonadab told him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend you are ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let my sister Tamar come and give me something to eat. Let her prepare it in my sight so I may watch her and eat it from her hand.’”
    6 So Amnon lay down and feigned illness. When the king came to see him, Amnon said, “Please let my sister Tamar...

  • SERMON AS SON HAS SHOWN me, His servant &witness Reagan. testifying to what he shown/ spoke to me IN VISIONS l Saw after vanished. & share them to last age people As— Red 7 vision offering Two Edges,(one of judgement of correction & another destruction). And Green 7 vision for Sealing. Preaching it in Uganda, &unto living ones in this last age. Heb1:2, acts26:16, proverbs 29:18.



    TITLE: RED 7 AND GREEN 7 — JUDGMENT OF TWO EDGES

    Text: Hebrews 1:2, Acts 26:16, 1 Peter 4:17, Rev 14:1-5

    INTRODUCTION: A WITNESS — NOT ONE OF THE TWO, BUT WITNESS OF WHAT SON HAS SHOWN ME

    Acts 26:16 — “I have appeared to you to appoint you servant and witness to things you have seen.”
    Heb 1:2 — In these last days God has spoken to us by His Son.

    I, Reagan, am not one of Two Witnesses Rev 11. I am witness of what Son has shown and spoken to me in visions — Green 7 and Red 7 — unto you of last days, including Uganda.



    I. RED 7 FIRST EDGE — JUDGMENT OF CORRECTION — BEGAN AT HIS HOUSE — AT ME FIRST

    1 Peter 4:17 — Judgment begins at household of God.
    Prov 24:16 — Righteous falls seven times and rises again.

    God showed me Red 7 first upon me:

    I fell — righteous falls 7 times
    He disciplined me — not condemnation — Rom 8:1 — No condemnation in Christ
    Heb 12:6 — Whom Lord loves He chastens
    He punished me and shaped me back with grace — Heb 12:11 — painful for moment, afterward yields peaceable fruit of righteousness

    I repented.
    1 John 1:7 — Blood of Jesus His Son cleansed me from all sin
    Purified me from all sin.

    Then GREEN 7 came:

    Spirit set me apart — made me holy — 2 Cor 6:17 — Come out and be separate
    Anointed me — 1 John 2:20 — anointing from Holy One
    Separated from compromising world and its things — 1 John 2:15
    Appointed as His servant witness by Himself Jesus — Gal 1:1 — not from man
    Sealed and confirmed among 144,000 — Rev 7:3, Rev 14:1, Eph 1:13 — sealed with Holy Spirit

    This is what blameless, faithful, virgin means — Rev 14:4-5 — no lie in mouth, follow Lamb wherever He goes. Purity = faithfulness.


    II. SAME NATURE NOW TO YOU — BACKSLIDDEN CHURCH

    As it was to me first, so to you backslidden church now. You have fallen.

    Example before our eyes in Uganda:

    CONSECRATION OF FEMALE BISHOP — not in alignment with 1 Tim 3:1-7 — bishop must be husband of one wife — Titus 1:6-9 — elder husband of one wife. Word is clear.
    Collecting offerings, tithing while forgetting suffering churches — James 2:15-16, Acts 20:33-35
    Doing after flesh desires, self interest, pride — 2 Tim 3:2-5, Phil 3:19

    This is seen by God. Red 7 warning was given already.

    God calls you same way He called me:

    REPENT. OBEY WORD. PURSUE CLEAN LIFE BY WORD + PRAYER.

    1 Tim 4:5 — sanctified by Word of God and prayer
    2 Chron 7:14 — If My people humble themselves and turn from wicked ways, I will heal their land.
    Rev 14:12 — Endurance of saints who keep commandments and faith of Jesus

    Then:

    Blood will cleanse you as it cleansed me — Rev 1:5 — Washed us from sins in His own blood
    Green 7 will set you apart, make holy
    You will be sealed and confirmed among 144,000 — Rev 7:3



    III. RED 7 SECOND EDGE — JUDGMENT OF DESTRUCTION — IN REFUSAL

    If you refuse correction, Red 7 second edge comes.

    Not only correction — also destruction — as you have seen:

    Gen 11:4-8 — Tower of Babel — men made name for self against God — God scattered and destroyed their work.
    Rev 9:20-21 — Men not killed by plagues still did NOT repent — so greater judgment.
    Rev 16:8-11 — Bowls poured — men blasphemed and did not repent.
    2 Thess 1:8-9 — In flaming fire taking vengeance on those who obey not gospel.

    To you sinners, unbelievers, same word:

    God’s judgment is upon you. Rom 6:23 — Wages of sin is death.
    Repent. Go spiritual rebirth — John 3:3 — Must be born again — obey gospel and live.

    Because failure to do so — life in sin is death. Ezek 18:23 — I have no pleasure in death of wicked, but that he turn and live.

    If you repent, obey — His blood cleanses all sin and you live — Acts 2:38 — Repent and be baptized and you shall receive gift of Holy Spirit.

    But in refusal — perish in sin by judgment of destruction — Rev 20:15 — Whosoever not found written in book of life was cast into lake of fire.

    ALTER CALL:
    Two edges set before you today -- as set before me.
    1). choose Green 7 vision and Red 7 vision.
    First edge: repent, be washed, be set apart, be sealed among 144000.

    Or choose Red 7 vision,
    Second edge:
    Refuse, and perish -- tower of babel, was judgement of correction, rev9, rev16,
    Deut 30:19-- l have set before you life and death-- therefore choose life. Repent, obey word, pursue clean life by word+ prayer, be clean before God in name of lamb who stands on mt. Zion with 144000.

    Amen
