Hello John! So good to see your post.
We all would like to know the answer, but soon enough we shall know. My concern is for the election of officers. There is a very deep dislike of some in office and there will be a concerted effort to remove them. There is rebellion in the air. How may delegates will be influenced by the NAD, Europe, and Australia, we do not know. There are faithful throughout the world.
Even if the vote continues to say no to making women leaders over men, we have a most serious problem that will not go away. Those in rebellion, not those who are just misled by the doctrine, will not cease their rebellion when the vote is cast against them. The issue has already been voted on twice including saying no to allowing divisions do what they want. This is the most serious problem the Seventh-day Adventist Church has ever faced. Rebellion is seldom cured. "{Korah, Dathan, and Abiram} complained and influenced the people to stand with them in rebellion, and even after God stretched forth His hand and swallowed up the wrongdoers and the people fled to their tents in horror, their rebellion was not cured." CTr 125.
The sin of Israel is again presented in the rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. By their representations of matters they influenced men in a course of evil. "And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown." (Read the history in Numbers 16.)
"And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. . . . And all Israel that were roundabout them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense."
But after this terrible exhibition, after hearing the horrible cries of those who went down into the bowels of the earth, after seeing the 250 men consumed by fire, we would suppose that rebellion would have been cured. But history records the fact that the congregation murmured against Aaron and Moses, saying, "Ye have killed the people of the Lord." Does not this show us the great danger of murmuring and rebellion? It seems that rebellion is next to incurable. If all the evidence that God gave them did not convince them of the sin of accusing the chosen of the Lord, what power could be brought to bear upon them to correct their unjust charges and accusations? They saw the earth open, they saw the men swallowed up, they heard their cries of terror, they saw the 250 consumed by fire, all famous in the congregation, and men of renown; but where was their remorse and repentance? On the morrow it was evident that their principles and sentiments were unchanged. They had still a charge to make against the chosen instrumentalities of the Lord. And they said to Moses and Aaron, "Ye have killed the people of the Lord." They were so enraged against them that they would not have hesitated to kill Moses and Aaron. RH, October 10, 1893. .
There are 162 "princes" in the NAD that voted against the world church and Scripture in 2011 at the NAD year end meeting to allow women to be rulers over men. "October 31, 2011 vote from NAD
According to the General Conference’s Office of General Counsel, the vote numbered 162 in favor of the affirmation and 61 against it.
Prior to the discussion of this policy, Dan Jackson, president of the North American Division, led the congregation through the hymn “Have Thine Own Way Lord” and asked for the Holy Sprit’s leading in the discussion. Also, attendees separated in small groups (about three times) to pray about the proceedings. “My desire is that at the end of this discussion everyone present says in their own mind ‘I was in the presence of the Spirit of God,’” said Jackson. - Adventist News Network. This was rebellion and the NAD continues to follow the same path. Some have the very same spirit described in the above quote. We see this in the NAD's refusal to allow CAP to have a booth at the San Antonio session.
