@@@^May these lines cause every Present Truth believer to tremble within his soul, and to examine himself carefully to see whether he “be in the faith” (2 Cor. 13:5) “Lest (he) be like unto them that go down into the pit.” (Ps. 143:7.)

19:3
@@@^Here we see that history repeats itself: Ancient Israel’s giving ear to the evil report which the ten spies brought caused them to lose faith in the power of God, and did therefore, set themselves back 40 years from entering the Promised Land.
Genesis 22:3
@@@^“The living saints, 144,000 in number;” we must not conclude that only a part of the whole can constitute the number and yet be true, for the statement made by Inspiration cannot be contradicted for it reads “144,000 in @9number@7.” When mention is made of this company, it is at the same time when God makes known the day and hour of Jesus coming. If we can locate at what time of the world’s history God speaks the day and hour of Jesus’ coming, then we may know more about this company. Quoting Early Writings, page 285: “But there was one clear place of settled glory, whence came the voice of God like many waters, shaking the heavens and the earth. There was a mighty earthquake. The graves were opened, and those who had @9died@7 in faith under the @9third angel’s message@7, keeping the Sabbath, caforth… And as God spoke the day and the hour of Jesus’ coming, and delivered the everlasting covenant to His people.”
Genesis 23:1
@@@^One may here suppose that the risen and the living make the number, but we do not believe the Spirit of Prophecy would call both companies (the living and the resurrected) living saints. The 144,000 are living saints; the others, resurrected Sabbath keepers. To make it positive, another reference is given, found in Great Controversy, page 637: “@9Great hailstones@7, every one ‘about the @9weight of a talent@7,’ are doing their work of destruction. The proudest cities of the earth are laid low . . . Graves are opened, and “many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth . . . awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.” @9All who have died in the faith of the third angel’s message @7come forth from the tomb glorified, to hear God’s covenant of peace with those who have kept His law.” This makes it positive that the resurrected Sabbath keepers come forth in the special resurrection of Daniel 12. This is the time when the great hailstones are doing their destructive work (7th plague). “And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; . . . And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: And men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.” Rev. 16:17, 21. The resurrected Sabbath keepers did not live during the time of the plagues, for they were resurrected at the time of the seventh plague, so that they hear the announcement of the day and the hour of Jesus’ coming.
Genesis 24:3
@@@^Sister White was taken in vision to one of the planets which had seven moons, where she met good old Enoch. This place was so beautiful and her desire for it so keen, she begged the angel to let her stay. “Then the angel said, ‘You must go back, and if you are faithful, you, with the 144,000 shall have the privilege of visiting all the worlds and viewing the handiwork of God’.” See Early Writings, page 40. There is no contradiction in this statement, for the angel told her that she, @9with the@7 144,000, meaning she is one @9with@7 them but not one @9of@7 them. She will doubtless be with them for she may be termed as the mother of them (being the messenger and founder of this movement), nor can we suppose they will sing the song of Moses and he (Moses) not be there. Because they are the 144,000, a special company with a special experience, is no reason why others could not travel with them, for undoubtedly Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will be with them, being the fathers in type. What objection could be made if others would journey with them? We may suppose that Jesus would give to all the redeemed at least one trip to the other worlds.
Genesis 28:2
@@@^Those who died under the third angel’s message, keeping the Sabbath, are sealed with the Sabbath truth, but the 144,000 never die. While they must keep Sabbath and have that seal, they must sigh and cry for the abominations that are in the @9church@7, for otherwise they can not receive the mark by the angel with the writer’s inkhorn of Ezekiel 9, which is the seal according to Testimonies to Ministers, page 445; Volume 5, pages 210-16; Volume 3, pages 266-7. The sealing of the 144,000 is the separation of the faithful from the disloyal ones; the purification of the church. Those who do not keep the truth, and indulge in the sins and abominations, who try to throw a cloak over the existing evils, will fall under the figure of the five men with the slaughter weapons of Ezekiel 9.
Genesis 32:1
@@@^Volume 5, pages 211-12: “They had taken the position that we need not look for miracles and the marked manifestation of God’s power as in former days. Times have changed. These words strengthen their unbelief, and they say, The Lord will not do good, neither will He do evil. He is too merciful to visit His people in judgment. Thus peace and safety is the cry from men who will @9never again@7 lift up their voice like a trumpet to@9 show God’s people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins@7. These dumb dogs that would not bark are the ones who feel the just vengeance of an offended God. Men, maidens, and little children all perish together. The abominations for which the faithful ones were sighing and crying were all that could be discerned by finite eyes, but by far the worst sins, those which provoked the jealousy of the pure and holy God, were unrevealed… Our own course of action will determine whether we shall receive the @9seal of the living God, or be cut down by the destroying weapons@7.” If we were to mark out the exact time of the beginning of this sealing, we would say it began sometime during 1929. Space will not Permit us here to give our reasons for believing thus, but in another study this will be taken up.
Genesis 33:1
@@@^Volume 5, pages 210, 211: “In the time when his wrath shall go forth in judgments, these humble, devoted followers of Christ will be distinguished from the rest of the world by their soul-anguish, which is expressed in lamentation and weeping reproofs and warnings. While others try to throw a cloak over the existing evil, and excuse the great wickedness everywhere prevalent, those who have a zeal for God’s honor and a love for souls, @9will not hold@7 their peace to obtain favor @9of any@7. Their righteous souls are vexed day by day with the unholy works and conversation of the unrighteous. They are powerless to stop the rushing torrent of iniquity, and hence they are filled with grief and alarm. They mourn before God to see religion despised in the very homes of those who have had great light. They lament and afflict their souls because pride, avarice, selfishness, and deception of almost every kind are in the church. The Spirit of God, which prompts to reproof, is trampled under foot, while the servants of Satan triumph. God is dishonored, the truth made of none effect… The abominations for which the faithful ones were sighing and crying were all that could be discerned by finite eyes, but by far the worst sins, those which provoked the jealousy of the pure and holy God, were unrevealed.”
Genesis 34:1
@@@^Volume 8, page 250: “Who can truthfully say, ‘Our gold is tried in the fire; our garments are unspotted by the world’? I saw our Instructor pointing to the garments of so-called righteousness. Stripping them off, He laid bare the defilement beneath. Then He said to me: “Can you not see how they have pretentiously covered up their defilement and rottenness of character? ‘How is the faithful city become an harlot?’ My Father’s house is made a house of merchandise, a place whence the divine presence and glory have departed! For this cause there is weakness, and strength is lacking.” Thus the time and the condition of the church at the beginning of the sealing of the 144,000 is well portrayed by both the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy. It is an admitted fact among Seventh-day Adventists that the church has been on the decline for some years, but never has it been in such a low spiritual condition as it is now. There is scarcely any difference now between the church and the world.
Genesis 35:8
@@@^12. Turning down Scriptural claims without investigation as to its light. Volume 5 page 211: “The abominations for which the faithful ones were sighing and crying were all that could be discerned by finite eyes, but by far the worst sins, those which provoked the jealousy of the pure and holy God, were unrevealed.”
Genesis 50:7
@@@^7. Last of all, Jesus and the majestic, heavenly throng with ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands of angels. What a wonderful gathering that will be! Can we find anything more harmonious than this in all the Bible? It will be noticed we again have the complete Biblical number “seven,” and it cannot be made more or less, and yet include all. Ought this not to wake up our interest and zeal when we see what a glorious event is in store for God’s faithful people?
Genesis 82:1
@@@^“Several who came to Battle Creek humble, devoted, confiding Christians, went away almost infidels. The general influence of these things was creating prejudice against the health reform in very many of the most humble, the most devoted, and the best of our brethren, and was destroying faith in my Testimonies and in the present truth…
Genesis 94:2
@@@^Testimonies to Ministers, page 300: “@9Unless@7 those who can help in—are aroused to a sense of their duty, they @9will not@7 recognize the work of God when the loud cry of the third angel shall be heard. When light goes forth to lighten the earth, instead of coming up to the help of the Lord, they will want to bind about His work to meet their narrow ideas. Let me tell you that the Lord @9will@7 work in this last work in a manner very much out of the common order of things, and in a way that will be @9contrary@7 to @9any@7 human planning. @9There will be@7 those among us who will always @9want@7 to control the work of God, to @9dictate@7 even what movements shall be made when the work goes forward under the direction of the angel who joins the third angel in the message to be given to the world. God will use ways and means by which it @9will@7 be seen that @9He is taking@7 the reins in His @9own@7 hands. The workers will be @9surprised@7 by the @9simple@7 means that @9He will@7 use to bring about and @9perfect@7 His work of righteousness. Those who are accounted good workers @9will need@7 to draw nigh to God, they will need the divine touch.” Also read Isaiah 3. “It is @9not@7 men of great @9talents@7 and @9titles@7 that are needed so much as it is men who are @9great@7 in @9faith, holiness, consecration@7, and @9love@7. Men who are great for God and great in simplicity, fidelity, and self-denial,—@9upon such transmitting@7 God’s message, life, and blessings to humanity, and for advancing His kingdom in @9all@7 the earth.” Review and Herald, Feb. 20, 1930.
