Last Day Events
The Mark of the Beast is Sunday Worship by law. But the people of God (SDAs) must be sealed before the Sunday Law or Mark of the Beast is enforced. In order to receive the Seal of God, the people of God must be free from sin and settled into the truth.
Each one's individual victory over sin must take place before the shaking or the enforcement of the Mark of the Beast. Once the shaking has begun, then we will know that probation for the people of God has already closed. But the four winds of strife cannot blow until the servants of God are sealed in their foreheads. Revelation 7:1-3
The closing of probation for the rest of the world will take place after the Loud Cry has been completed and just before the Seven Last Plagues are poured out.
"Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." 2 Corinthians 7:1
There are Currently Four Sunday Laws Pending
1. Project 2025 Page 589
2. The Convention of States
3. The 32 Hour Work Week
4. The Paris Climate Agreement (Article 237 Laudato Si, In Care of Our Common Home)
The People of God will be Sealed BEFORE the Shaking and Before Sunday Law is Enforced!
"Just as soon as the people of God are sealed in their foreheads--it is not any mark or seal that can be seen, but a settling into the truth both intellectually and spiritually, so they cannot be moved--just as soon as God's people are sealed and prepared for the shaking, it will come. Indeed, it has begun already. The judgments of God are now upon the land to give us warning, that we may know what is coming." Manuscript 173 1902
What is "a Settling into the Truth"
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. John 16:13
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 1 Peter 5:10
Jesus said unto them, I am the truth, the way and the life. John 14:6
It is the Spirit that beareth witness because the Spirit is truth. I John 5:6
Paul a servant of God and apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect and the acknowledging to the truth which is after godliness.
Titus 1:1
"Satan is now using every device in this sealing time to keep the minds of God's people from the present truth and to cause them to waver. I saw a covering that God was drawing over His people to protect them in the time of trouble; and every soul that was decided on the truth and was pure in heart was to be covered with the covering of the Almighty. Satan knew this, and he was at work in mighty power to keep the minds of as many people as he possibly could wavering and unsettled on the truth." EW p. 43
"God has shown me that He gave His people a bitter cup to drink, to purify and cleanse them. It is a bitter draught, and they can make it still more bitter by murmuring, complaining, and repining. But those who receive it thus must have another draught, for the first does not have its designed effect upon the heart. And if the second does not effect the work, then they must have another, and another, until it does have its designed effect, or they will be left filthy, impure in heart. I saw that this bitter cup can be sweetened by patience, endurance, and prayer, and that it will have its designed effect upon the hearts of those who thus receive it, and God will be honored and glorified." Early Writings p.47
"I saw that some of the people of God are stupid and dormant and but half awake; they do not realize the time we are now living in, and that the man with the “dirt brush” has entered, and that some are in danger of being swept away. I begged of Jesus to save them, to spare them a little longer, and let them see their awful danger, that they might get ready before it should be forever too late. The angel said, “Destruction is coming like a mighty whirlwind.” Early Writings p. 48
"All will be shaken out who are not willing to take a bold and unyielding stand for the truth and to sacrifice for God and His cause. The angel said, “Think ye that any will be compelled to sacrifice? No, no. It must be a freewill offering." Early Writings p. 53
Probation for the People of God Will Close Before the World's Probation Closes
"The time is nearing when the great crisis in the history of the world will have come. Oh, that the people might know the time of their visitation."
Testimonies Vol 9 p.7
"I was shown that if God's people make no efforts on their part, but wait for the refreshing to come upon them and remove their wrongs and correct their errors; if they depend upon that to cleanse them from filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and fit them to engage in the loud cry of the third angel, they will be found wanting. The refreshing or power of God comes only on those who have prepared themselves for it by doing the work which God bids them, namely, cleansing themselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God." Testimonies Vol 1 p.619
The door will be closed to the people of God while it will remain open to those who have never heard these testing truths.
"There are many with whom the Spirit of God is striving. The time of God’s destructive judgments is the time of mercy for those who have had no opportunity to learn what is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look upon them. His heart of mercy is touched; His hand is still stretched out to save, while the door is closed to those who would not enter. "Testimonies Vol. 9 p. 7
Three Things We Must Do Before the Sunday Law is Enforced
1. Really know Jesus by developing a prayer-life that is above and beyond the ordinary. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints Ephesians 6:12-18 Pray without ceasing. I Thessalonians 5:17
2. Cleanse yourself from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit.
Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. II Corinthians 7:1
3. Leave the cities.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains. Matthew 24:15,16
Why God's People Need to Leave the Cities Now
"O that God's people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry." County Living p.8
"In harmony with the light given me, I am urging people to come out from the great centers of population. Our cities are increasing in wickedness, and it is becoming more and more evident that those who remain in them unnecessarily do so at the peril of their soul's salvation." Country Living p.9 "The end is near and every city will be turned upside down in every way. There will be confusion in every city." Conflicts in the Last Days p.3
Will We Go Back to Normal After COVID 19?
"While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hailstorms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. “The earth mourneth and fadeth away,” “the haughty people ... do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:4, 5. Great Controversy p.589
Parable of the 10 Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13)
“In the parable, the foolish virgins are represented as begging for oil, and failing to receive it at their request. This is symbolic of those who have not prepared themselves by developing a character to stand in a time of crisis. It is as if they should go to their neighbors and say, Give me your character, or I shall be lost. Those that were wise could not impart their oil to the flickering lamps of the foolish virgins. Character is not transferable. It is not to be bought or sold; it is to be acquired. The Lord has given to every individual an opportunity to obtain a righteous character through the hours of probation; but he has not provided a way by which one human agent may impart to another the character which he has developed by going through hard experiences, by learning lessons from the great Teacher, so that he can manifest patience under trial, and exercise faith so that he can remove mountains of impossibility.” The Youth’s Instructor, Jan. 16, 1896.
“Character building is the most important work ever entrusted to human beings; and never before was its diligent study so important as now. Never was any previous generation called to meet issues so momentous; never before were young men and young women confronted by perils so great as confront them today.” Education, p. 225
The People of God Will Not Receive the Mark of the Beast
"Just as soon as the people of God are sealed in their foreheads--it is not any mark or seal that can be seen, but a settling into the truth both intellectually and spiritually, so they cannot be moved--just as soon as God's people are sealed and prepared for the shaking, it will come. Indeed, it has begun already. The judgments of God are now upon the land to give us warning, that we may know what is coming." Manuscript p.173 1902
"What are you doing brethren, in the great work of preparation? Those who are uniting with the world are receiving the worldly mold and preparing for the mark of the beast. Those who are distrustful of self, who are humbling themselves before God and purifying their souls by obeying the truth--these are receiving the heavenly mold and preparing to receive the Seal of God in their foreheads. When the decree goes forth and the stamp is impressed, their character will remain pure and spotless for eternity." Testimonies Vol 5 .216
Sequence of Last Day Events
1. The People of God are Sealed Before the Shaking (The First Sealing)
Just as soon as the people of God are sealed in their foreheads--it is not any mark or seal that can be seen, but a settling into the truth both intellectually and spiritually, so they cannot be moved - just as soon as God's people are sealed and prepared for the shaking, it will come." Manuscript p.173 1902
The Man with the Writer's Inkhorn by his Side
4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
Ezekiel 9:4,5,6,11
2. Close of Probation For Seventh Day Adventists
I was shown that if God's people make no efforts on their part, but wait for the refreshing to come upon them and remove their wrongs and correct their errors; if they depend upon that to cleanse them from filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and fit them to engage in the loud cry of the third angel, they will be found wanting. The refreshing or power of God comes only on those who have prepared themselves for it by doing the work which God bids them, namely, cleansing themselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (Testimonies Vol 1 p.619)
The door will be closed to the people of God while it will remains open to those who have never heard these testing truths.
"There are many with whom the Spirit of God is striving. The time of God’s destructive judgments is the time of mercy for those who have had no opportunity to learn what is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look upon them. His heart of mercy is touched; His hand is still stretched out to save, while the door is closed to those who would not enter." Testimonies Vol. 9 p. 7
3. The Shaking Begins
Protestant churches reject the Third Angel's Message and the Seventh Day Sabbath and push for Sunday sacredness.
4. The Sunday Law Enforced
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet; stand in the holy place; who readeth, let him understand.
Matthew 24:15
5. The Four Winds Blow
Four Winds: Political strife, commotion and war.
And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Rev. 7:1-3
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; (the dark day, May 19, 1780, the day the stars fell, November 12,1833); and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; (lack of resources, famine, economic collapse), the sea and the waves roaring. (earthquakes, tidal waves, tsunamis, floods
fires, mud slides, etc...) Luke 21:25
6. Latter Rain Poured Out
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. Joel 2:23
7. The Loud Cry and (the Second Sealing)
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. Revelation 18:1
8.Satan Impersonates Christs Second Coming
And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation 13:13,14
9. Close of Probation for the World (Jesus leaves the Most Holy Place)
He that is unjust let him be unjust still, he which is filthy, let him be filthy still, he that is righteous let him be righteous still and he that is holy, let him be holy still. Revelation 22:11
10. Seven Last Plagues are Poured out Rev. 16:1
And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
11. The Special Resurrection
And many of them that sleep in the dust shall awake, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:3
Behold he cometh with clouds and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: And all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him, even so amen. Revelation 1:7
12-Christ's Second Coming
1Thessalonians 4:16,17
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The Seal of God vs the Mark of the Beast.
Those who receive the Seal of God are those who honor the 7th day Sabbath, the 4th Commandment, which is God's Seal.
Those who receive the Mark of the beast are those who trample upon the 7th Day Sabbath to honor the false sabbath which is Sunday. They will receive the 7 last plagues.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13:8
If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: Revelation 14:9,10
The Sabbath will be the great test of loyalty, for it is the point of truth especially controverted. When the final test shall be brought to bear upon men, then the line of distinction will be drawn between those who serve God and those who serve Him not. While the observance of the false sabbath in compliance with the law of the state, contrary to the fourth commandment, will be an avowal of allegiance to a power that is in opposition to God, the keeping of the true Sabbath, in obedience to God's law, is an evidence of loyalty to the Creator. While one class, by accepting the sign of submission to earthly powers, receive the mark of the beast, the other choosing the token of allegiance to divine authority, receive the Seal of God. Great Controversy p. 605
The 144,000
Who Will Make up the 144,000?
Revelation 7:4
"And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."
Revelation 14:1-3
1."And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3 .And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth."
Cleansing of the Sanctuary
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Daniel 8:14
In 1844, Jesus went from the Holy Place into the Most Holy Place to begin the Investigative Judgment.
Third Angel's Message
vs: 9 "And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
vs: 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation.
vs: 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."
"Why are they who die in the Lord “from henceforth” blessed above others who had died before? They are especially blessed because they will be resurrected at the partial resurrection, at the voice of God (GC 636, 637), to complete the number of the 144,000. They that die in the Lord from the time the third angel started his message are sealed and therefore a part of the 144,000."
The Sealing of God's People p. 35
“Those who die after having become identified with the third angel’s message, are evidently numbered as a part of the 144,000; for this message is the same as the sealing message of Revelation 7, and by that message only 144,000 were sealed. But there are many who have had their entire religious experience under this message, but have fallen in death. They die in the Lord, and hence are counted as sealed; for they will be saved. But the message results in the sealing of only 144,000; therefore these must be included in that number.
Being raised in the special resurrection (Dan. 12:2; Rev. 1:7) which occurs when the voice of God is uttered from the temple, at the beginning of the seventh and last plague (Rev. 16:17; Joel 3:16; Heb. 12:26), they pass through the period of that plague, and hence may be said to come ‘out of great tribulation’ (Rev. 7:14), and being raised from the grave only to mortal life, they take their stand with believers who have not died, and with them receive immortality at the last trump (1 Cor. 15:52), being then, with the others, changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye.
Thus, though they have passed through the grave, it can be said of them at last, that they are ‘redeemed from among men’ (Rev. 14:4), that is, from among the living; for the coming of Christ finds them among the living, waiting for the change to immortality, like those who have not died, and as if they themselves had never died.” Daniel and the Revelation p. 347
Probation for Adventists Will Close Prior to the Closing of the World's Probation!
The time is nearing when the great crisis in the history of the world will have come… Oh, that the people might know the time of their visitation. There are many who have not yet heard the testing truth for this time. There are many with whom the Spirit of God is striving. The time of God’s destructive judgments is the time of mercy for those who have had no opportunity to learn what is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look upon them. His heart of mercy is touched; His hand is still stretched out to save, while the door is closed to those who would not enter. Testimonies Vol. 9 p.7
Sunday Law Enforcement is the Great Test for the People of God
The time of the enforcement of the Sunday Law is the time the individual destiny of Adventists will be determined. It is at this time that they will either receive the Seal of God or the Mark of the Beast. Those who receive the Seal of God will receive the Latter Rain. To those who receive the Mark of the Beast, the door is closed to them while it remains open to those who have never had the opportunity to hear the Third Angel's Message.
The Latter Rain
"I saw that many were neglecting the preparation so needful and were looking to the time of "refreshing" and the "latter rain" to fit them to stand in the day of the Lord and to live in His sight. Oh, how many I saw in the time of trouble without a shelter! They had neglected the needful preparation; therefore they could not receive the refreshing that all must have to fit them to live in the sight of a holy God." (Early Writings p.71)
"I was shown that if God's people make no efforts on their part, but wait for the refreshing to come upon them and remove their wrongs and correct their errors; if they depend upon that to cleanse them from filthiness of the flesh and spirit, and fit them to engage in the loud cry of the third angel, they will be found wanting. The refreshing or power of God comes only on those who have prepared themselves for it by doing the work which God bids them, namely, cleansing themselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. ( Testimonies Vol 1 p.619)
"It was by the confession and forsaking of sin, by earnest prayer and consecration of themselves to God, that the early disciples prepared for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. The same work, only in greater degree, must be done now." (Testimonies p. 507)
"Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. James 5:7
At that time the “latter rain,” or refreshing from the presence of the Lord, will come, to give power to the loud voice of the third angel, and prepare the saints to stand in the period when the seven last plagues shall be poured out. Early Writings p. 86
I heard those clothed with the armor speak forth the truth with great power. It had effect.... I asked what had made this great change. An angel answered, “It is the latter rain, the refreshing from the presence of the Lord, the loud cry of the third angel.”—Early Writings, 271 (1858).
"I saw that none could share the “refreshing” unless they obtain the victory over every besetment, over pride, selfishness, love of the world, and over every wrong word and action. We should therefore be drawing nearer and nearer to the Lord and be earnestly seeking that preparation necessary to enable us to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord.—Early Writings, 71 (1851).
"It is left with us to remedy the defects in our characters, to cleanse the soul temple of every defilement. Then the latter rain will fall upon us as the early rain fell upon the disciples on the Day of Pentecost."—Testimonies Vol 5 p.214 (1882).
"There is nothing that Satan fears so much as that the people of God shall clear the way by removing every hindrance, so that the Lord can pour out His Spirit upon a languishing church. Every temptation, every opposing influence, whether open or secret, may be successfully resisted, “not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6).—Selected Messages 1: p.124 (1887).
Complete Healing During the Latter Rain
"Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month." Joel 2:23
"Sin brings physical and spiritual disease and weakness. Christ has made it possible for us to free ourselves from this curse. The Lord promises, by the medium of truth, to renovate the soul. The Holy Spirit will make all who are willing to be educated able to communicate the truth with power. It will renew every organ of the body, that God's servants may work acceptably and successfully. Vitality increases under the influence of the Spirit's action. Let us, then, by this power lift ourselves into a higher, holier atmosphere, that we may do well our appointed work.— The Review and Herald, January 14, 1902.
At that time the “latter rain,” or refreshing from the presence of the Lord, will come, to give power to the loud voice of the third angel, and prepare the saints to stand in the period when the seven last plagues shall be poured out." Early Writings, p.86 (1854).
As the people of God were delivered from Egyptian bondage, they were healed of every sickness and disease.
"He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. Psalms." 105:37
The Special Resurrection
(Just before Christ's second coming)
"Graves are opened, and “many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” Daniel 12:2.
"All who have died in the faith of the third angel's message come forth from the tomb glorified, to hear God's covenant of peace with those who have kept His law. “They also which pierced Him” (Revelation 1:7), those that mocked and derided Christ's dying agonies, and the most violent opposers of His truth and His people, are raised to behold Him in His glory and to see the honor placed upon the loyal and obedient." Great Controversy p. 637
"J. N. Loughborough supports this belief thus: “If there is still a doubt of the resurrected Sabbath keepers being numbered with the 144,000, consider the following from Sister White’s words in 1909. At the General Conference in 1909, Elder Irwin had a stenographer accompany him in a call upon Sister White. He wished to ask her some questions, and have an exact copy of the words of the questions, and the exact words of the replies. Among other questions was this one: ‘Will those who have died in the message be among the 144,000?’ In reply, Sister White said: ‘Oh, yes, those who have died in the faith will be among the 144,000. I am clear on that matter.’ These were the exact words of question and answer, as Brother Irwin permitted me to copy from his stenographer’s report.” (Questions on the Sealing Message, p. 31)
"The number, 144,000, must mean a definite number, composed of just so many individuals. It cannot stand for a larger but indefinite number, for in verse 9 another company is introduced which is indefinite in its proportions, and hence is spoken of as “a great multitude, which no man could number.”
If the 144,000 were designed to represent such an indefinite number, then John would have said, in verse 4, “And there were sealed a great multitude, which no man could number, out of all the tribes of the children of Israel.” But instead of this, he says, 144,000, twelve thousand from each tribe a number, which can be easily enumerated."
(A Study of the 144,000 p.10)
"It is urged, further, that the 144,000 must all be those who have never died, because they are “redeemed from the earth” and are “redeemed from among men.” But this is no objection; for these very expressions will apply to those who have died in the Lord under this message, as well as to those who never die.
It will be asked how this can be; and the answer is that they come up in the special resurrection, embracing a limited number of both righteous and wicked, as mentioned in Daniel 12:2 and Revelation 1:7. Those who, in this resurrection, come up to everlasting life (though not then made immortal) are those who belong to the 144,000 because they have died in the message; and those who rise to shame and contempt are those who had a part in Christ’s crucifixion, and perhaps others in different ages, especially the last, who have shown pre-eminent activity in opposing the work of God."
"That such a resurrection, embracing these characters, will take place, the scriptures referred to plainly enough affirm; and the only point where the prophecies make a place for its occurrence is at the time mentioned in Revelation 16:17. This is at the beginning of the seventh plague, when the great voice out of the temple of heaven from the throne utters the solemn words, it is done!”
(A Study of the144,000 p. 7)
Will There Then Be Only 144,000 Saved ?
"Will there, then, be only 144,000 saved from among the living when the Lord appears? May not this number be so far representative as to include many others? There seems to be quite a plausible supposition that this latter may be the case; that is, that the 144,000 may include only the adult males connected with the great Advent movement while the women and children associated in the same movement would be so many additional ones to be saved from among the living in that day."
"The plausibility of this idea lies in the fact that the Hebrews were so numbered when delivered from Egyptian bondage which was a figure of the deliverance of the remnant of the true Israel from the Egypt of this world at the coming of the Lord. Some three million, in all, came out of Egypt, yet there were numbered only those who were able to go forth to war, from twenty years old and upward, amounting in all to 603,550." Numbers 1:2, 3, 46.
(A Study of the 144,000 p.5)
