First i would pay 100,000,000 in tithe.  Someone actually did that around 4 years ago if i remember correctly. 

Then, hmmm, it would take a lot of prayer.  I. know that many times God's enterprises work best when in straits.  For example, Madison started out great, but when it got famous, it went bad.  Same with Battle Creek Sanitarium.

Having said that, I do know several self-supporting places and people wanting to do things, and would donate a bit to them.  Mostly, i would like to see many small training schools get started.  It was my dream and almost got realized in Thailand until one of the principal parties decided to start following a false prophet.... I know of those holding similar ideas in some other countries.

I'd like to see the 1858 Great Controversy book get printed in many languages, so would put probably the bulk of it in that.

I would think about making the above-mentioned book into a slick, Hollywood-style production where millions of people would want to watch it.  I know the book is exciting, and the truth in it would work powerfully if shown in a visual format.

What would you do, NB?

Forgot to say that i would give quite a bit to those like Bill Dull who are running orphanages and training schools in India smile  It would be good to set up little natural-health sanitariums too.

Yes, for sure, one would need to pay the tithe but for me I would not support any corrupt organization but would spend it to right it.

Another thing, such a huge windfall would have to be used very quickly, as I know, time is now very short.  Are we not Adventists, and what it means, do we not see His coming now is even at the very doors?

The prophecy and the telling signs of the present times cinch that all things are a parallel of the days of Noah.  We could very well be in the 42 months of Rev. 13:

You surely must see the prophecies of Rev 13: began after 1798 and that is after the deadly wound is inflicted.  Then we read that the beast is to continue but 42 mos. after the deadly wound is healed!.

We can determine this but from two verses,  The breaking date is 1798!

Re 13:1 ¶ And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. ( We note here that the king power is on the heads since the wound )

Re 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.( You must note that the king power is on the heads here before the deadly wound)

Satan changed the power to rule the world from the religious systems to the monetary, financial, money men, systems or some would say civil systems.


Re 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

When is the deadly wound healed?  No doubt when Martyrdom begins again without recompense!  Some believe that has begun.  Can we know?  Not for sure as it is only God who knows who for sure who are His True ones.  Would it not have to be those with true hearts?

From EGW, it can be shown that we have seen Rev 13: not as it ought, I can post her statement, just ask.

1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
