"In this fearful time, just before Messiah is to come the second time, Elohim's faithful preachers will have to bear a still more pointed testimony than was borne by John the Baptist. A responsible, important work is before them; and those who speak smooth things, God will not acknowledge as his shepherds. A fearful woe is upon them."— Vol. 1, p. 321. {GW92 90.1} "The friendship of the world is enmity with God, for whosoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God" James 4:4 Enemies of God "I call upon you, my dear brethren and sisters, to cultivate spirituality, to put away your idols, and in the fear of God, to work for time and for eternity. Again and again have our sisters been warned against indulging pride of dress, which is idolatry; yet they pass on, making no change, and their example is leading others away from Christ, instead of leading to him. Why is it so hard to arouse the conscience upon this subject, when the inspired apostle has spoken so explicitly upon this point? Will my sisters dress plainly for Christ's sake? for the love of souls for whom he died? Will they remember that they must meet their life-record at the bar of God, and must answer for the money and the time squandered in needless adornment?" {RH, June 3, 1880 par. 12}
"Self-denial in dress is a part of our Christian duty. To dress plainly and abstain from display of jewelry and ornaments of every kind is in keeping with our faith. Are we of the number who see the folly of worldlings in indulging in extravagance of dress as well as in love of amusements?" {CG 423.3}
Conformity to Christ or the World.--A sister who had spent some weeks at one of our institutions in _____, said that she felt much disappointed in what she saw and heard there. . . . Before accepting the truth, she had followed the fashions of the world in her dress, and had worn costly jewelry and other ornaments; but upon deciding to obey the Word of God, she felt that its teachings required her to lay aside all extravagant and superfluous adorning. She was taught that Seventh-day Adventists did not wear jewelry, gold, silver, or precious stones, and that they did not conform to worldly fashions in their dress. When she saw among those who profess the faith such a wide departure from Bible simplicity, she felt bewildered. Had they not the same Bible which she had been studying, and to which she had endeavored to conform her life? Had her past experience been mere fanaticism? Had she misinterpreted the words of the apostle, "The friendship of the world is enmity with God, for whosoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God"? {Ev 270.1} Sister White wrote much about the importance of keeping Yah's law and especially the statutes. The command that teaches men not to mar the corners of their beard is written in Leviticus 19. If you read the entire chapter you will understand that Elohim is here instructing us on how to be holy. Simple logic would cause one to conclude that not performing what these statutes require would cause one to be unholy. Leviticus 19:27, 28, & 29. All Stand Or Fall Together!
To answer your question Sister White does teach the importance of obeying all of Yahuwah's statutes and the statute that teaches not to mar the beard is just as important as the commands that command us not to print tattoos on our skin (Lev 19:28) and not to prostitute our daughter to cause her to be a whore (Lev 19:29).
"excepting my beard I am fearfully and wonderfully made"?
Child-like logic causes one to conclude that if we shave we are saying that the entire chapter of Lev 19 is irrelevant for believers today. Also, have you ever read the words of King David when he wrote "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made:" Ps 139:14. Do you think that Elohim made a mistake when He put a beard on King David's face? Or should the text have read "excepting my beard I am fearfully and wonderfully made"?
Yahushua (Jesus) said in Matthew 5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
"Whosoever . . . shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:19. That is, he shall have no place therein. For he who willfully breaks one commandment, does not, in spirit and truth, keep any of them. "Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10. {MB 51.2} (1896)
Don't Wait For The Sunday Law To Stop Shaving Your Beard!!
I have heard many men say that when the time of trouble comes they will not be able to purchase a razor and therefore they will grow a beard at this time. This is dangerously flawed logic and those who decide to put off Yahuwah's requirements until the Sunday law is decreed will walk in darkness. Don't wait for the Sunday Law to stop shaving your beard!! If you wait till then the sealing angel will have already passed you by and you will have already missed the seal of the Living!! It will be too late by then!! Please listen my friends!! The Ruach ha Kodesh (Holy Wind) will have already attempted to blow on your antenna/beard to communicate with you but you were not capable of hearing Her voice because you turned your ear from hearing the torah "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the torah, even his prayer [shall be] abomination." Proverbs 28:9
Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her
Have you ever read the entire chapter of Deuteronomy 28? It is definitely a chapter worth reading as it tells of the consequential blessings and cures which are promised to overtake those who obey or disobey the statutes of Yahuwah. Some of the consequences of neglecting to obey the statutes are as follows "Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof." Deuteronomy 28:30.
Have you noticed the high divorce rate among prominent Seventh-day Adventist public figures lately? I do not want to mention names here but just to start with we have Doug Bachelor, Danny Shelton and Danny Vierra. All three are high profile Seventh-day Adventist public figures and all three have been divorced at least one time. Their ex-wives have remarried and are "lying" with other men and all three have been resistant to the statute message and have been approached by myself and others repeatedly concerning the importance of the Elijah/statutes and judgments message. Oh that I could help these men to see the blessings that can follow their obedience!!
The saddest part of this whole story is that the Seventh-day Adventist structure and the majority of the members still act as though these men are holy servants of Yah. They act as though these men are moral icons and send them their financial support by the millions. How will we answer for our misspent tithe money? Will Yahushua praise us for being cowards in this time of emergency? I think not!!
How sad brothers and sisters!! My heart cries out to Yahuwah for merci on our people for being so deluded!! How blind can we be?!? Has the enemy of souls so bewitched us that we cannot discern the times that have come upon us? Are we blind as the Israelites of Yahushua's day so that we cannot see the gross sins of the leadership? Is it possible that we are so full of pride in our denomination that we cannot see or speak out against the abominations that are being practiced in high positions of the church? Or are we too cowardly to stand up as did righteous Phinehas and execute judgment against such behavior. What about John the Baptist? What if he remained silent in the face of opposition and apostasy? Where would we all be without the backbone of John the Baptist? He had humility, courage and faith that was counted worthy to Baptize the Messiah Himself!! What a mark John left on religious history!! Oh to have the righteous impact of John the Baptist! By the grace of the Almighty we can and will have an impact similar to John but not as long as we persist in shaving our beards and in making life difficult for those who teach this truth or by supporting financially those who ignore the torah and strive to make life difficult for those who are teaching and sharing the Elijah message.
I [am] Yahuwah that healeth thee.
A Message to "Health Reformers" or are they "Health Deformers"
Many believe that they can be health reformers while shaving their beard. However, there is one Biblical passage that clearly teaches that the only way to avoid all the diseases of the Egyptians is to obey all of the statutes. All the vegetarians out there that think they are true health reformers while simultaneously despising the statute message are deceiving themselves and many others. Eventually all who shave their beards will receive the diseases of the Egyptians.
Exodus 15:26 "And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of YHWH thy Elohim, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I [am] YHWH that healeth thee."
Half Heart/Half Healed/Double Minded "A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways." James 1:8 Yeramiyahoo 29:13 "And ye shall seek me, and find [me], when ye shall search for me with all your heart."
There are many out there who wear the sly/suave mustache (90% off of the Standard of righteousness. Yahushua had a full beard) such as Dwight Nelson
 , Doug Bachelor  and Danny Shelton . These men have reached untold numbers of people with a form of the Advent message and I occasionally enjoy listening to them preach myself but evidently they have not spent enough time studying the face of Yahushua. They have been following the standards of men rather than the standards of Yah. Then we have the reverse mustache (10% off of the Standard) better known as the Amish look
 . It seems to me that men just can't leave well enough alone! We always have a better way than Yah's way. Men are always trying to improve on the Perfect Standard of righteousness. When are we ever going to learn that we can not improve on perfection? All we need to do is go back to the great psalmist "The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of YHWH [is] sure, making wise the simple. 19:8 The statutes of YHWH [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of YHWH [is] pure, enlightening the eyes. 19:9 The fear of YHWH [is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of YHWH [are] true [and] righteous altogether. 19:10 More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: [and] in keeping of them [there is] great reward!! "they which lead thee cause [thee] to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12.
Evidently most SDA leaders disagree with King David. They all seem to think that the statutes of YHWH are dirty rather than clean. When are we ever going to realize that our Creator knows best? Another observation I have made is that most men want their wives to submit and children to obey them while at the same time we men do not submit to and obey YAH! Wouldn't you agree that this is rather hypocritical? How can we expect our wives and children to respect us when we do not show respect to Father Yah. No wonder our wives and children rebel against our authority. "[As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause [thee] to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12. Which "paths" is Isaiah talking about? Let's see, could it be the same "paths" that he wrote about in Isaiah 58:12 "And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in." what breach do you think Isaiah is referring to here? Could it be the breach made in the law at the time the Sabbath was changed by man in 325 AD by Constantine.
 What Scripture passage can Doug Bachelor quote to this man in an attempt to get him to see that tattooing the skin is not acceptable behavior for a follower of Messiah? Could he possibly quote Lev 19:28? Would not this man be justified in quoting Lev 19:27 right back at Doug? I believe that he would and I would encourage him to do so!
Sister White alluded to the breach in the law in the following quote and ties it in with the Sabbath... " In the time of the end every divine institution is to be restored. The breach made in the law at the time the Sabbath was changed by man, is to be repaired. God's remnant people, standing before the world as reformers, are to show that the law of God is the foundation of all enduring reform and that the Sabbath of the fourth commandment is to stand as a memorial of creation, a constant reminder of the power of God. In clear, distinct lines they are to present the necessity of obedience to all the precepts of the decalogue . Constrained by the love of Christ, they are to co-operate with Him in building up the waste places. They are to be repairers of the breach, restorers of paths to dwell in." See verse 12. {PK 678.2}
Brethren, please pray that our "leaders" will repent and hear the EliYahu message before it is too late. Time is short and soon probation will close and the fearful edict will be spoken. "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still." Rev 22:12
Malachi
4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith YHWH of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do [this], saith YHWH of hosts. 4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and judgments. 4:5 Behold, I will send you Eliyahoo the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YHWH: 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. I don't know what Yahushua looked/looks like but I do know that he had/has a beard.
Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of Elohim, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
I could say more but it seems like a good time to stop.
Blessings,
John Vega
