Chapter 10 The Urgency of Christ's Call to Repent After watching nearly 150 years of His patient waiting, we may be tempted to think that Christ is a divine Wimp. But He is not playing games with us. He means business. The denomination known as Seventh-day Adventists is recognized in the writings of Ellen White as the prophetic "remnant" church. Further, since our beginnings our pioneers have believed it to be the fulfillment of the Revelation prophecy. If this is true, we have an authentic denominational identity. If it is not true, we have no true reason to exist: In a special sense Seventh-day Adventists have been set in the world as watchmen and light bearers. To them has been entrusted the last warning for a perishing world. . . . They have been 158
given a work of the most solemn import—the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages. The most solemn truths ever entrusted to mortals have been given to us to proclaim to the world. The proclamation of these truths is to be our work. The world is to be warned and God's people are to be true to the trust committed to them (Testimonies, vol. 9, page 19. See Testimonies, vol. 1, pages 186, 187; Selected Messages, Book One, pages 91-93; Bible Commentary, vol. 7, pages 959, 960, 961.). Doubters on many sides are now seriously challenging our prophetic destiny, contending that the organized church has failed so badly that it has ceased to be the true prophetic remnant church. The source of this sepa-rationist mentality is a famine for the Good News truths of the 1888 message. The 1888 Good News ideas are like essential vitamins to a human body; their absence invites disease. 159
