More than 100 Adventist Leaders and their Churches Signed

In cooperation with the South Pacific Division, the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), and the Fiji Mission of Seventh-day Adventists, Seventh-day Adventists are engaging in environmental activism, tackling climate change, and spreading awareness about the importance of addressing the climate crisis. The Fiji Times published an article titled "Clean-up Campaign Part of a New Climate Action Commitment" on January 29, 2023, and revealed that a clean-up effort involving more than 100 Seventh-day Adventist leaders resulted in the adoption of a new pledge to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Seventh-day Adventists and local city officials held a signing ceremony. In a signing ceremony, Adventist leaders made commitments to support SDG 13, one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations General Assembly. Goal 13 urges us to fight climate change as soon as possible. Following specialized training, our pastors, religious leaders, and churches have made commitments to support the SDGs of the UN. We are now publicly declaring our allegiance to the Vatican-led climate change movement and our intention to evangelize our communities to adopt the United Nations' mitigation measures for the alleged climate crisis. Brothers and sisters, the everlasting gospel of Jesus Christ is being replaced with the gospel of Mother Earth.

The Three Angels' Messages in the Book of Revelation, chapters 14 and 18, are considered central to the church's beliefs. This is the message of salvation through faith in the everlasting gospel. It emphasizes the worship of the living God by keeping the seventh-day Sabbath and warns against the false religions that would be pushing Sunday worship. This is our work, and we are told that nothing should ever replace this message:

"In a special sense Seventh-day Adventists have been set in the world as watchmen and light bearers. To them has been entrusted the last warning for a perishing world. On them is shining wonderful light from the word of God. They have been given a work of the most solemn import-the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels' messages. There is no other work of so great importance. They are to allow nothing else to absorb their attention. The most solemn truths ever entrusted to mortals have been given us to proclaim to the world. The proclamation of these truths is to be our work. The world is to be warned, and God's people are to be true to the trust committed to them" (Testimonies, Vol. 9, p. 19).
