In Proverbs 29:18 we see the sobering reminder, "Where there is no vision the people perish."
In Last Days Events, we read the following:
"The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God. “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God’s remnant people in the true testimony.
The enemy has made his masterly efforts to unsettle the faith of our own people in the Testimonies.... This is just as Satan designed it should be, and those who have been preparing the way for the people to pay no heed to the warnings and reproofs of the Testimonies of the Spirit of God will see that a tide of errors of all kinds will spring into life.
It is Satan’s plan to weaken the faith of God’s people in the Testimonies. Next follows skepticism in regard to the vital points of our faith, the pillars of our position, then doubt as to the Holy Scriptures, and then the downward march to perdition. When the Testimonies, which were once believed, are doubted and given up, Satan knows the deceived ones will not stop at this; and he redoubles his efforts till he launches them into open rebellion, which becomes incurable and ends in destruction." (Last Days Events, p. 178)What serious times we are living in... and how it breaks my heart, because this is already true for many that I know. Let us continue to hold fast to God's Word, let's us pay attention to the "vision" that He has given this church... Let us prove all things according to His Word. Deception is sweeping the land and if possible, even the very elect will be deceived.
