Sandford vs. Scripture Scriptural Responses to Various Statements of a Self-Proclaimed Prophet Dates and Sandford quotations may be found elsewhere on this site under "Timeline". Non-italicized prophetic statements are from the Everlasting Gospels. (pp 331, 450, 347, 317, 497, 436, 432, 469, 470) All italicized statements are from Scripture, NIV. ************************************************************************************** November 25, 1901 "Your safety depends upon the amount of authority the man of God has in defending you. If you are fully submissive to him, he can fight your battles." Eph. 2:4-8 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions --it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith --and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- Prov. 30:5 Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. *************************************************************************************** November 27, 1901 "... when the books of Judgment are opened, every man, woman, and child that has rejected this man, this movement, this church, and this baptism will be consigned to a lake composed of fire which feeds upon brimstone,..." "I (God) warned you through my messenger (Sandford) that if you rejected that light I would damn you without mercy, endlessly, to show My wrath against such hellish ingratitude." Eph. 4:4-6 There is one body and one Spirit-- just as you were called to one hope when you were called--one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Rom. 5:9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! Matt. 25:41 Then he will say to those on his left, `Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." ************************************************************************************** December 1, 1901 "Every baptism that has taken place since the beginning of the dark ages has been defective and in part because men have had only partial truth - portions of the truth." ..."Any person for instance that is in the Methodist denomination is a part of the indecency of that denomination which has young ladies on public inspection barefooted. On that great day when you stand before God to be judged you will be amazed to have me step up and say, "I am against that person. I have no fellowship with him, Lord. I promise you one thing the Lord will not fellowship him." James 4:12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. ************************************************************************************** December 30, 1901 "The awful, yet glorious trust of holding my place as the Son of God in the eyes of the Father, and before a scoffing world." Matt. 24:23-25 At that time if anyone says to you, `Look, here is the Christ!' or, `There he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect -- if that were possible. See, I have told you ahead of time. *************************************************************************************** June 15, 1902 "Gentile nations are going to utterly perish that refuse to heed the words of this speaker. I want to tell you we have come to the sublimities of the Great tribulation." Matt. 7:1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. *************************************************************************************** July 3, 1902 "My very sanctification will set you apart as you come and yield to me." Luke 18:18 A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 19 "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good --except God alone. *************************************************************************************** July 3, 1902 "If you want to know how He (Jesus) looks, look at me, for I look just like Him. Gaze right at me." Rev. 19:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. *************************************************************************************** July 4, 1902 "I propose to open people's eyes to the fact that God considers me of some consequence in His Kingdom. I ought to be the most popular man in the country." "I am going to be popular after this. I am a gentleman; I ought to be treated like a gentleman. Some day you will wake up and want to kiss my feet. I am a good subject to talk about. I wish you had as much right to talk about yourself as I have to talk about myself." Luke 20:46 "Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. Such men will be punished most severely." Hebr. 11:2 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. John 20:31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. 2Pet. 1:20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 21 But here were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them --bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. 1Tim. 6:3 If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions. **************************************************************************************
