a more sure word of Prophecy

Jesus is coming; and will He find a people conformed to the world? and will He acknowledge these as His people that He has purified unto Himself? Oh, no. None but the pure and holy will He acknowledge as His.Those who have been purified and made white through suffering, and have kept themselves separate, unspotted from the world, He will own as His. 1T 133.1

As I saw the dreadful fact that God’s people were conformed to the world, with no distinction, except in name, between many of the professed disciples of the meek and lowly Jesus and unbelievers, my soul felt deep anguish. I saw that Jesus was wounded and put to an open shame. Said the angel, as with sorrow he saw the professed people of God loving the world, partaking of its spirit, and following its fashions: “Cut loose! Cut loose!lest He appoint you your portion with hypocrites and unbelievers outside the city.Your profession will only cause you greater anguish, and your punishment will be greater because ye knew His will, but did it not.” 1T 133
