Addiction Resources and Treatment Centers

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / October 7, 2020

While I don’t know about the following resources/treatment centers personally, they have contacted me to spread their information more widely. Overcoming addictions of any kind is a good thing, so altho I’m not sure if these are based on Biblical ideals or not, they seem worthwhile. If even only one person is potentially helped by this post, then I will give God all the glory.

Addiction Resource was founded in 2014 to provide a community for those recovering from addiction and to help patients find the highest quality care for a successful recovery. Our goal is to provide resources to help patients and their loved ones so that they may stay on the road to recovery, and can successfully overcome addiction for life. We believe in our ability to help improve the lives of others, and belief is what motivates us to educate and support our readers every day.

Addiction Resource is not a treatment center and does not accept payments or advertising offers. Instead, we work to provide free resources to help people better understand their addiction and motivate them to make the first step in seeking support.

Leftist crackdown on Conservatives in America similar to China’s crackdown on “terrorists”

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / March 18, 2018

I’ve thot this for quite a while now, but the news this morning is just shouting this out at us – Progressives are following China’s government in their willingness and methods to crush all opposing ideas.

China’s govt. has established a “social credit” system, where you get points taken away for certain things from skipping train fares, to avoiding taxes, to bribery, to being a Christian or anyone who does not agree 100% with their Atheistic Communist Party. Starting in May this year, they will start using this “social credit” score to determine whether to allow you to even ride on a train or airplane! China bans people from transportation

While the Left in America is not quite there yet, there are many troubling signs that they are going down the same path. That path entails not just silencing everyone who doesn’t agree with them, but forcefully restricting their ability to disseminate ideas and physical movement.

Twitter is blocking people from even quoting material from articles it deems bad: Twitter censorship As this article shows, just trying to tweet something that has no violent overtones at all is banned if from a Conservative, but super-violent tweets from Leftists that show people killing others etc. is allowed.

Then there is the case of Amazon reviews. Authors rely on the number and quality of reviews in order to get their books displayed prominently in Amazon rankings. Yet Amazon is just willy-nilly deleting reviews from Conservative authors books, and deleting some reviews those Conservative authors make: Amazon deletes reviews

Of course just the other day I had the personal experience where Youtube shut down my channel for no real reason other than that I’d violated their policy. They reinstated me the next day, but there are many examples of Conservative, or just anti-establishment channels have gotten shut down for a while, or forever, including Natural News (a health channel featuring Mike Adams), Prager U, InfoWars etc. Mike Adams says his Youtube channel was probably taken down because he believes in just two genders! I understand there are many channels that need to be shut down, as there are many bad people trying to push absolutely disgusting things on the internet. But to shut someone down just because they hold to a different view than yours? That’s totalitarianism.

What’s this got to do with God’s people as we come up to the end time?
A lot, because we see the Atheistic Communistic ideas of hatred for God is dovetailing with the Atheistic Progressive ideas of hatred for God. While they are not currently openly working together, it is easy to tell that they are working towards the same goal – the eradication of all truth, and eventually the eradication of all those who follow the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

May we be firmly grounded in the truth ourselves, and use this window of freedom wisely, because it appears to be closing up quickly.

Youtube deletes my entire channel, no real reason given (Reinstated!)

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / March 16, 2018

Well, knowing how Progressive Youtube is (meaning totalitarian), I was kind of expecting them to take down my videos one day for telling the truth as it is in the Bible, but this is just weird. I got an email today saying that “Google アカウント tenXXX@gmail.com は、Google ポリシーに違反する行為に使われていたと思われるため、無効となりました”.

Which says that I’ve gone against their policy, so my account (Earlysda) is unavailable anymore. Just now, in checking, I see that not only are all my 100+ videos gone with their 800K+ views, but that all my comments on all other peoples’ videos are gone too. It’s like my 11 years on Youtube has been erased in an instant.

I hope Youtube fixes this, but since Google is such an evil company, I will count myself lucky if I don’t get either a police knock on the door, or a hitman who will run me off the road.

If anyone knows another video sharing service, please let me know.

Updated morning of March 16: When I woke up this morning, wondering what to do, I did a search on the net for my most viewed video. I clicked on the link, expecting it to show that the video had been deleted, but it displayed normally!

So what happened? I don’t know, but here is my guess. The day before this happened, I made some comments on videos regarding Stephen Hawking’s death, that he was a poor scientist because there cannot, by definition, be more than one black hole in a universe. And also, he fought God,
so basically he wasted his life, but I hope he repented before he died. Probably someone got royally upset at that, reported me to Youtube for “hate speech”, and they quickly deleted my account. When a human actually checked the facts, they saw that I had don’e nothing wrong,
and reinstated my account.

But I have learned from this, that if I want to help keep my videos up, which I know will be taken down when the Sunday Law question starts becoming agitated, I need to either stop commenting on other articles on Youtube, or else comment under a different name.

huge amounts of water under earth’s crust refutes evolution

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / March 12, 2018

Often in talking to Evolutionists, they like to pooh-pooh the idea that there is enough water on this planet to ever cover the whole earth. I always ask them to take a globe, and think for a minute about what all that blue color means, as 71% of the earth is covered with water. Also, the mountains on the earth would fit comfortably in the deepest trenches in the oceans.

I’ve read somewhere that if you flattened out all the mountains on the land, it would just take around 100 feet (meters?) of water to cover 100% of the planet.

Anyway, we can read in inspired writings that there were jets of water that came out of the earth at the time of Noah’s Flood. They had tremendous force, and hurled huge rocks high up into the air. Personally, I think they might have even created comets and blasted pockmarks on the moon etc., but am not sure about that at all, as 95% of the craters on the moon face earth.

So it is interesting to see that scientists are finding more and more clues that there are huge amounts of water far under the crust in places and forms that they thot couldn’t exist. Here is one science news article showing that ice was found in a diamond. They estimate the diamond came from 500 miles or so down (that’s highly speculative), and it includes ice with a new atomic structure, so they have named it Ice-VII. Seems our ordinary ice is now called Ice-I – ha!
massive amounts of ice in mantle

Another article says

A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The finding could help explain where Earth’s seas came from.

SDA layperson forbidden to hold Bible study in condo commons area in Florida

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / March 11, 2018

It’s getting stranger and stranger in America. Now condominium associations are trying to forbid residents from using the commons area for Bible studies or play religious songs on the organ. Seems that playing poker and having jazz is just fine, but not if it is religious.

Now, a SDA lay minister lady is taking them to court: Condo Bans Senior Citizen Bible Study, Christian Music
Let’s pray that she will win this case for freedom.

new study says saturated fats are ok

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / February 11, 2018

In the never-ending game of scientists reversing themselves (often at the behest of those with the most money), a large, new study says that saturated fats really are OK after all, and all the info over the last 40 years is basically, well, bollocks.

A study just published in the Annals of Internal Medicine made waves through the mainstream media this week. In a stunning meta-analysis of the relationship between dietary fats and heart disease that included over 600,000 people, the researchers came to the following conclusion:

“Current evidence does not clearly support cardiovascular guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low consumption of total saturated fats.”

This conclusion flies in direct contrast to the USDA dietary guidelines, which recommend polyunsaturated fats (think corn and soybean oils) as healthy, and saturated fats as unhealthy (think dairy, animal fat, and coconut oil) in terms of cardiovascular health.

This info is widely available on the web, but I copied it from this site: http://www.healthstartsinthekitchen.com/2014/03/23/big-pharma-study-usda-dietary-guidelines-fats-wrong/ What I like about this particular article, is that they show that coconut oil, while being high in saturated fat, so demonized for many years by doctors and scientists, is actually a healthy product, which should be obvious to anyone who has ever travelled to the islands in the South Pacific where coconuts make up a large part of the diet there.

The best advice is to avoid totally unhealthy things that God has warned us of, and to take in moderation even good things, and to have healthy skepticism towards any “scientist” who tells us stuff.

Seventh-day Adventists should believe words in Bible are from God

Leave a Comment / christian study / February 11, 2018

In the Spirit of Prophecy (Ellen White’s writings), there are at least 6 instances where it says the exact phrase: “inspired words”, and “words inspired of God” is used once. Thus we see the lone dissenting quote “It is not the words of the Bible that are inspired, but the men that were inspired.” in 1Selected Messages p. 21 is spurious.

The Bible (or portions of it) are said of in the SOP: “The scribes of God wrote as they were dictated by the Holy Spirit, having no control of the work themselves.” and: “He who is the father of lies, blinds and deceives the world by sending his angels forth to speak for the apostles, and make it appear that they contradict what they wrote when on earth, which was dictated by the Holy Ghost.”

Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary says:
DICTATE, verb transitive [Latin , to speak.]

1. To tell with authority; to deliver, as an order, command, or direction; as, what God has dictated, it is our duty to believe.

2. To order or instruct what is to be said or written; as, a general dictates orders to his troops.

3. To suggest; to admonish; to direct by impulse on the mind. We say, the spirit of God dictated the messages of the prophets to Israel. Conscience often dictates to men the rules by which they are to govern their conduct.

Of course the Bible itself calls the words in it the “words of God” 6 times. Many times it says “your words”, and “my words” referring to God’s words written in it.

This is basically what it seems to boil down to:
“The effect of inspiration was to move the authors so as to produce the words God wanted. In this view the human writers’ individual backgrounds, personal traits, and literary styles were authentically theirs, but had been providentially prepared by God for use as his instrument in producing Scripture”.

The Holy Bible is not only infallible, but inerrant. It is not only “The Word of God”, but “The Words of God”. It is NOT our uncles’ words, but God’s words, as written by our uncles.

Revelation 13 WILL have a final, FUTURE fulfillment

Leave a Comment / christian study / February 6, 2018

Many of my fellow Seventh-day Adventists believe Uriah Smith’s interpretations of the prophecies in Daniel and Revelation, over what the words themselves say. They often say that putting any of it in the future is “Futurism”, and roundly denounce it. The end result, is that we have a church full of people who think most everything happened in the past, and we are just waiting for the Sunday Law, 7 last plagues, and Jesus’ return in the clouds. And just as the Jews were destroyed for misinterpreting the prophecies for their day, so many of us will be destroyed too, as it is obvious that many things are still to take place before the Great Controversy is ended.

The other day I found this quote of Ellen White, showing clearly that Revelation 13:4-18 will have a final FUTURE fulfillment. Please note that the Revelation quote is as found in the original.

In the last days Satan will appear as an angel of light, with great power and heavenly glory, and claim to be the Lord of the whole earth. He will declare that the Sabbath has been changed from the seventh to the first day of the week; and as lord of the first day of the week he will present this spurious sabbath as a test of loyalty to him. Then will take place the final fulfillment of the Revelator’s prophecy.
.

Revelation 13:4-18 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
. If any man have an ear, let him hear.
. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
.

In connection with this scripture, the entire fourteenth chapter of Revelation should be studied much by God’s people. Verses nine to eleven bring to view the special message of warning against worshiping the beast and his image, and receiving his mark in the forehead or in the hand. This warning is to be given to the world by those who are mentioned in the twelfth verse as keeping “the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”

Manuscript Releases Vol.19, No.1403 1902 Ellen White

This makes it VERY CLEAR that there is a 42 month time period at the end, when the false church will basically rule the whole world. Let’s prepare and warn others now!

If any man have an ear, let him hear!!!

The Roman Catholic Church was NOT built on Peter

2 Comments / christian study / February 6, 2018

In talking with Roman Catholics, it invariably comes up that they believe their church was started by Jesus saying he would build his church on Peter. That is mistaken, as the following texts show, with definitions of some Greek words included.

Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, G4074 and upon this rock G4073 I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Romans 9:33
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock G4073 of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

1Corinthians 10:4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock G4073 that followed them: and that Rock G4073 was Christ.

G4074 Petros
Used 162 times.
Means “a rock or a stone”

G4073 Petra
Used 16 times.
Means “a rock, cliff or ledge”

So we see that Peter is not the rock that Christ will build his church, but Christ is saying he will build his church on himself. Let’s call on all Catholics to repent, and follow Jesus, whose church will always: keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Martin Weber, Adventist “scholar” errors on Ellen White and SDA doctrines

1 Comment / sigh and cry / December 4, 2017

Martin Weber has put up his “95 Theses for Seventh-day Adventists” up on the web. He asked people to read it, so I took a look. I got to about #30 before I couldn’t take any more of his dissing Ellen White and liberal mishmash that waters down our distinctive SDA doctrines, so just skimmed the rest. While I do not write a blog post for everyone dissing Ellen White, what prompted me in this case, is that this man was high up in the General Conference of SDAs!

From his web site on his bio:

Retired from four decades of service for the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Martin Weber has taught pastors and ministerial leaders on six continents. While a member of the global SDA Ministerial Association, he was an associate editor of Ministry magazine and supervised its outreach to non-SDA clergy. He served on the General Conference Executive Committee and the President’s Council from 1991 to 1995…. He earned his Doctor of Ministry degree from a Baptist seminary…. You can read about their escape from cult-like SDA legalism by clicking on the “My Story” button.

So we see that he was a high-ranking officer in the SDA Church who got his DMin from Babylon (so why was he ever put in a high-up position of responsibility in God’s church???) Anyway, we can see that he is against “legalism” from his bio.

Thesis #1 has: “there is no need to enthrone Ellen White as lord over the Bible.”
Hmmm, while agreed, I’ve never met a believer in Ellen White’s writings who put her over the Bible. This is always a fake shot by those who don’t like something about her.

#3 “SDA doctrine is grace-based, yet we typically present truth in the context of law. We do this in ignorance that “the law came by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” (John 1:17)”
We are only on number 3, and already we see that he is dissing the law of Moses.

#4 “Adventist pioneers were woefully deficient in grasping the gospel; it is miraculous evidence of God’s leading that their body of beliefs, born and bred in legalism, can now optimally showcase His grace.”
It is unescapeable now – he is upset with our distinctive SDA doctrines, and is taking pot shots at them.

To avoid boring you, I will just quote/paraphrase some of the more egregious errors: Christ adopted us all at his resurrection. Having communion with non-SDAs is great. “Christian living is not an imitation of Christ’s example (a medieval myth)” “experiencing unity while celebrating diversity of gender, ethnicity, culture, personality and age.” etc. etc.

#77. Ellen White, particularly in her early writings, suffered much of the same legalism as her fellow pioneers. For decades her books and testimonies were deficient in such Christian fundamentals as the personhood of the Holy Spirit and the eternal pre-existence of Jesus.
Wow! Somebody as high up in the SDA Church as Martin Weber was, and saying these terrible words against God’s messenger – it beggars belief that anyone in God’s remnant church would employ him, as he is just tearing down what God has built up.

#78. Anyone who insists that Ellen White’s earlier writings are as theologically orthodox or useful as her later writings is either ignorant or intellectually dishonest.
I am “ignorant” or “intellectually dishonest”. And I will stand on that position.

Will anyone else join me in showing love and reverence for God’s words that he gave his humble messenger – Ellen White?

Please repent, Martin Weber, and turn back to Jesus.

vending machines to dispense free food for homeless

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / November 29, 2017

This news:
Vending machines for homeless in U.K.
looks very good for the homeless.

Seems that they have to sign up for a card that they can then use 3 times a week to get free stuff from a vending machine. It’s not going to solve their homeless problem, but looks like it could be very useful in helping solve some of their daily life problems.

Now I wish someone would find a way to help the homeless get a free, hot bath once a week….

Many Adventists don’t believe in 6 day Creation!

Leave a Comment / sigh and cry / October 22, 2017

It is entirely a sad day in God’s remnant church, when many of our own members (Conservative members!) openly say that they believe that there was matter here before God started creating this earth. It just boggles the mind that anyone could name the name “Seventh-day Adventist”, and still believe Satan’s lie that God didn’t make everything in 6 days and rest the 7th.

Here are some comments from fellow “Conservative” SDAs:

And I will continue to believe that the Bible is careful with words. God created the Heaven and Earth and the Seas in those six days, just as the fourth commandment indicates. But the land and the waters that He formed into those latter two, and named, were there from the beginning of that week. When He created them, for surely He did, we are not told.

At the beginning of the creation week the Earth was without form and void. Clearly there was something here already, a barren formless void much like Mars. Jeremiah says the Earth again Will be without form and void. Does that mean the planet will cease to exist aka a death star attack? Not only that but he says the Heavens will no light. Perhaps Genesis is written from the perspective of one on Earth and when God says Let there be light, He isn’t creating the Sun ex nihilo but making it visible to an observer from Earth.

I believe the universe is as old as it looks, since God is eternal, and there is no evidence that He did not create worlds and stars billions of years before He created the earth.

Please note that these 3 quotes are all from different authors, and all are generally strong “Conservative” SDAs on most other subjects!!!
Let’s believe God when he says: Exodus 20:11

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Ellen White’s letter to Smith and Amadon saying they are controlled by evil angels!

Leave a Comment / christian study / October 7, 2017

Letter 3, 1869

To: Smith, Brother; Amadon, Brother

Greenville, Michigan

April 23, 1869

Portions of this letter are published in 5MR 164-168; 2Bio 267-268.

Dear Brethren Smith and Amadon:

I will write to you a faint expression of my feelings at this time as I review the past. Lt3-1869.1

At the camp meeting at Wright, the Lord was with His people. There solemn pledges were made by the brethren of Battle Creek that they would stand by us, and not permit burdens to come upon us. My husband has been so ready to receive any manifestation of confidence and love from those in Battle Creek, and to blot out of his memory the things which transpired in the past (which were cruelly wrong upon the part of those from whom we ought to expect better things), that he was ready to believe all things and to hope all things. With his heart all cheered and softened by the bright view he had of the future, he consented to locate in Battle Creek, and thus comply with the earnest invitation of his brethren and sisters. He fully believed that the lessons of the past had not been learned in vain. Lt3-1869.2

I was reluctant to locate in Battle Creek. I had, as it were, fled to Greenville for quietude of mind and freedom from the harassing trials brought upon us unnecessarily by those who should have stood by us. I had never felt the least dissatisfaction with my home at Greenville. I needed a good copyist, and help that could do my sewing and save me from embarrassment in that line. The Lord blessed us in coming to this place. Lt3-1869.3

I pled with my husband not to comply with the wishes of our brethren in regard to locating in Battle Creek until we should have clear light from God that it was His will that we should move from this place. My husband urged that our trials in Battle Creek were over, and that we could in the hands of God be a blessing to the Office, Institute and church. Lt3-1869.4

When I went to look at the site for the house, I felt as though going to a funeral. I finally put these feelings away, for I saw that they made my husband very unhappy. I yielded my objections, and yet I felt fearful that the burdens we would have to bear in Battle Creek would be too heavy, that my husband could not let alone the business and cares of the Office, and that he would come down again through over-labor, as he had before done. I had suffered so much and seen how little knowledge even those of experience had of the mind and will of God concerning us, while we were passing through the heaviest trials we ever bore, that I did not feel like placing ourselves where there was the least possibility of the same breakdown, fearing the same heartless, cruel work would be acted over again. I am frank to say, I could not feel so cheerful and happy as did my husband to get again among our brethren at Battle Creek. Lt3-1869.5

Changes made to Ellen White’s books – What to do?

2 Comments / christian study / September 13, 2017

The following is what I wrote for someone who said that they didn’t just take other SDAs word for it, but studied the Spirit of Prophecy books for themselves, and had read all the Testimonies etc. They said all the common things I’ve heard – that the later books were better, that Uriah Smith was great, that the words are not so important as they aren’t from God etc.
————
That is great that you have delved into many of the books that are pillars of our Seventh-day Adventist faith. That is what a good Berean should to. 🙂
.
I wonder if you have read all 33 volumes of “Testimony for the Church”? If so, I wonder what you thot when you found that several testimonies addressed to Uriah Smith were cut up or taken completely out of the 9 volume “Testimonies to the Church”?

And regarding other writings:
1. What did you think about the 1888GC saying that the Roman Catholic Church was not part of Babylon, but the 1911 edition says it is?
2. What did you think about the 1884GC saying that Christ had “warned his disciples”, but the 1888 version says he “warned the world”?
3. What did you think about many places in the 1888GC being a nearly word-for-word copy of Uriah Smith’s books?
4. What did you think of Uriah Smith forming a committee of 5 people to “remove the imperfections” in Ellen White’s books?
5. What did you think of Ellen White’s writing that no one had done more to harm her work than Uriah Smith in the 1890-1892 time frame?
6. What did you think about the Review and Herald not publishing Steps to Christ, so Ellen White had to get Fleming Revell to print it?
7. What did you think about the first chapter in the current Steps to Christ not being in the original at all, and only being put in to secure copyrights in the U.K.?
8. What did you think about Ellen White’s vision where she saw fellow SDAs from Battle Creek marching around her home in a Catholic-like procession, saying “The goods in this house are proscribed?
9. What did you think about Selected Messages and the Preface to 1888/1911GC saying basically that the words in the Bible are not inspired (not God’s words), when that goes against everything in the Bible regarding inspiration, and when Ellen White herself used the phrase “inspired words” 6 times, and “God’s words at least once?
10. What did you think about the quote that says Ellen White used her own words except where the angel told her, which she always put in quote marks, then checked the books to see that she almost never put what the angel told her in quote marks?
11. What did you think about where it says “trumpet after trumpet” is yet to sound, and compare that to the idea that we are currently in the time of the 7th Trumpet?
12. What did you think about the idea that Ellen White wrote the later Great Controversy books for evangelism purposes for the world because the earlier ones were too strong and just for SDAs, when she wrote that she wished all her books would be published, and that we have records that the 1884 Great Controversy sold like hotcakes, even tho Uriah Smith tried to keep in on the shelves, and pushed Bible Readings for the Home instead?
——————
UPDATE:
The person I wrote this to gave a sadly typical response, saying that I was probably just referring to the “Special Testimonies”, and that Uriah Smith was led of God, and that I shouldn’t be picking at molehills……. That’s what happens when people don’t believe the words are from God.

Progressives try to change “love” into “hate”, and “hate” into “love”

Leave a Comment / daily rambliniscings / August 20, 2017

Seems the Progressives are blowing their tops again. To me, they won the redefinition war over “love” to mean “whatever perversion I feel like doing”, as the Conservatives pretty much went along with believing in “unconditional love” (whatever that is). So now their hate is turned toward changing the definition of “hate” to mean “anyone who judges our actions as wrong”. When they win this war (and they will), it will be time for God to work.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Psalm 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
