How To Avoid
The Coming Plagues

We are all well aware of the fact that the world is soon to be visited with the most awful plagues imaginable. Some feel that AIDS is a forerunner to these final plagues, or that AIDS is at least "a sprinkling from the vials of God." (LDE238). Whatever the case, outbreaks of serious and fatal illnesses in various parts of the world are a sign of what is to come and of worse to come.

As regards the plagues, we have been told that . . .

`There is so much that we positively must understand in order that we may shape our course of action so that we shall not receive the plagues which are coming upon the world.' (1MR42)

Please notice from the above statement that the final plagues are not going to fall at random. They are only going to fall on those people who have failed to follow a certain "course of action." With utmost urgency, therefore, we need to enquire as to what that course of action is.

In a dream, the Lord's servant once heard an "authoritative figure" speaking the following words to two men . . .

`Neither of you have seen the necessity of health reform, but when the plagues of God shall be all around you, you will then see the principles of health reform and strict temperance in all things.' (Te201)

One can only conclude from these words that the health message forms the basis of the "course of action" that will enable our immune systems to withstand the coming pestilence. Those who live according to God's laws of health will be the only ones who will be unaffected because . . .

`The plagues of the last days are to be poured out on the inhabitants of the world who have shown marked contempt for the law of God.' (17MR350)

In order to appreciate this statement in its true light, we need to realise that the laws of health constitute an integral part of God's Ten Commandment law and that, as such, . . .

`It is just as much a sin to violate the laws of our being as to break one of the Ten Commandments, for we cannot do either without breaking God's law.' (2T70, 71)

It is clear, therefore, that if we do not enthusiastically embrace God's health message, and if we do not start educating the world in regard to the principles of life that have been entrusted to us, many are going to be afflicted with the final plagues - and we who have been given this precious light, and who are taking it so much for granted, are surely going to be held responsible for their suffering. 

In this regard, we need to be reminded that . . .

`The time of Noah prefigures the present age.' (ST04-01-86)

This is why, . . .

`If we look at the picture of the days that were before the flood, and then turn our attention to the habits and practices of society to-day, we shall see that our earth is fast ripening for the plagues of the last days.' (CS135)

Just as it was in the case of Noah, so it is with God's church today, we have been commissioned to give warning to the world regarding the coming flood - except this time it is going to be a flood of disease. Like Noah, our task is to invite all who would hear to enter "the last-day ark." This "ark" is an immune system that has been boosted by right living - for this alone will carry us through the deluge of disease that will soon flood our planet. The only way that we can build this ark is through strict compliance with the laws of life - which laws form the basis of our health message.

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days before the final flood - there will be scoffers who will ridicule our every move, they will brand the "immune system ark-builders" as fanatics, and even scientists and doctors will ridicule those who show strict fidelity to God's laws of health. But when the storm finally comes, all too many will be floundering outside the door of the ark - but it will be too late.

"Solemn events before us are yet to transpire. Trumpet after trumpet is to be sounded; vial after vial poured out one after another upon the inhabitants of the earth." (3SM426)

"The world is soon to be left by the angel of mercy and the seven last plagues are to be poured out. . . . The bolts of God's wrath are soon to fall, and when He shall begin to punish the transgressors there will be no period of respite until the end." (TM182 )

Comment By A. T. Jones

`We are living in view of another fearful fact, that is, if that message which we are now to give, is not received, it has attached to it the fearful consequences that the wine of the wrath of God will be received . . . Therefore, will not that give a power to the health reform that it has not yet had? When the health reform was given to the people of God, it was defined as that which is to fit a people for translation . . . But we have to go through the seven last plagues before we are translated; and if a man's blood is impure and full of gross material will he be able to pass through that time, when the air is sick with pestilence? Indeed he cannot.' (A. T. Jones)

Food For Meditation

`We shall soon reach a time when we must understand the meaning of a simple diet. The time is not far hence when we shall be obliged to adopt a diet very different from our present diet. We need to study the art of preparing in a simple manner the fruits, grains, and vegetables. We do not need these complex combinations that are provided. As the matter now stands we are in danger of making dyspeptics.' (MM281)

`The Lord has given instruction that the gospel is to be carried forward; and the gospel includes health reform in all its phases. Our work is to enlighten the world; for it is blind to the movements which are taking place, preparing the way for the plagues which God will permit to come upon the world. God's faithful watchmen must give the warning.' (MM159)
