SDA's envision this crusade as the great apostasy to which John the revelator refers as 'Babylon the great.' They understand, also, that God's last message of mercy to the world prior to the return of Christ in power and glory will consist of a warning against this great apostate movement, and a call to all who choose to remain loyal to Him to leave the churches connected with it." SDA Encyclopedia, vol 10 of the Bible Commentary Reference Series, p 410-411.
Nini ambacho Kanisa la SDA liliwaeleza washiriki wake wote? Kwamba Kanisa lolote lililojiunga na Mchakato wa Ki-ekumene na kuungana na WCC limekuwa ni sehemu ya Babeli Mkuu, na kwamba wote wanaochagua kumtumikia Mungu sharti wajitenge kutoka katika Kanisa hilo. Kanisa la SDA tayari limeshajiunga na Mchakato wa Ki-ekumene, na kwa kweli limeungana na kushikamana na WCC.
