204the TRUTH, the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTHwho have no shelter; yet the world regarded them no more than theywould so many drops of water that were about to fall.SummationDoes Elder Ferrell explain in his newsletters that Jude, Paul, James, Peter, andJohn are of Satan because Christ has not returned yet? Does he accuse EllenWhite of being a false prophet because it has been over 150 years since shewrote that probation was nearly finished? He must realize that God’s timing isnot the same as man’s timing. Interestingly, the wicked are the ones who claimGod’s promises have failed.2 Peter 3:3-4Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers,walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of hiscoming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they werefrom the beginning of the creation.ConclusionWe must remember that God’s promises and threatenings are conditional.Everything is in His time and in His way. For information regarding ShawnBoonstra and Doug Batchelor, please see sections “False prophecy?” and“Another false prophecy?” in chapter 7.Asking for a signFerrell says: (see Appendix K)“No answers to Linda’s silent prayers—Since Ernie told her that theangel said that she, Linda, must work closely with him in typing out thedreams, she silently prayed that, if the dreams were true, that God wouldgive her a sign by having him dream certain things. Although this wasdone repeatedly, no such evidence was ever forthcoming. Ernie’s ‘angel’was not able to know what was in Linda’s silent prayers to God.”FactAgain, Elder Ferrell is wrong. Linda was only asked to edit one of Ernie’sdreams—“The SDA Church,” September 28, 2007. She did not type this dreamout, but received it after Ernie typed it and was to only correct grammarmistakes.Furthermore, Linda does not explain in her letter whether her prayer was silentor not. Even if it was silent, this does not prove God was confirming the dreamswere of Satan. God has provided clear and simple tests in His word wherebywe are to test a prophet. Linda failed to test Ernie’s dreams by these tests, andinstead used her own tests. See “Chapter Conclusion” in chapter 7. God willnever answer our prayers when we fail to use the means He has alreadyprovided to test a prophet.God says:John 7:17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it beof God, or whether I speak of myself.The Desire of Ages, p. 799
