THE HARVEST

Aim:    To show the different phases of the judgment:

GEM THOUGHT:

"The same angel who visited Sodom is sounding the note of warning, 'Escape for thy life.' The bottles of God's wrath cannot be poured out to destroy the wicked and their works until all the people of God have been judged and the CASES of the LIVING as well as the dead are decided. And even after the saints are SEALED with the seal of the living God, His elect will have trials individually. Personal afflictions will come but the furnace is closely watched by an eye that will not suffer the gold to be consumed. The indelible mark of God is upon them. God can plead that His own name is written there. The Lord has shut them in. Their destination is inscribed – 'GOD, NEW JERUSALEM.' They are God's property, His possession." T. M. 446.

INTRODUCTION:

The investigative judgment, though it is the crowning act of our salvation and of the setting up of the Kingdom of God, it is, nevertheless, one of the most mystified, least understood and confused Bible subjects of our time. There is only one way

2

to clear away the haze of mysticism, confusion, and speculation of the many winds of doctrine blowing; and that way is through the angel's messages. Through the revelation of one phase of the gospel, we are enabled to understand another phase. In this way God leads His people step by step.

"As God sent His servant to warn the world of the coming Flood, so He sent chosen messengers to make know[n] the nearness of the FINAL JUDGMENT. And as Noah's contemporaries laughed to scorn the predictions of the preacher of righteousness, so in Miller's day many, even of the professed people of God, scoffed at the words of warning." G.C. 339.

"To William Miller and his colaborers it was given to preach the warning in America. This country became the center of the great advent movement. It was here that the prophecy of the first angel's message had its most direct fulfillment . . . Far and wide spread the message of the everlasting gospel: 'Fear God, and give glory to Him for the HOUR of His judgment is come.'

". . . Like John the Baptist, the FORERUNNER of Christ, the preachers (Miller) laid the ax at the root of the tree. . ." G.C. 368-9.

"Thousands were led to embrace the truth preached by William Miller, and servants of God were raised up in the spirit and power of Elijah to proclaim the message. . . 'Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the HOUR of His JUDGMENT is come'." EW 233.

"Of this coming of the Lord (for the dead) William Miller was the messenger, and the MESSAGE of ELIJAH the PROPHET – the MESSENGER of the COVENANT – is the FORERUNNER for His coming with the living saints, both of the same event – the JUDGMENT." 2SR 241.

The facts in these statements are plain:

CONCLUSION:

William Miller was given a prophetic message of the coming judgment to declare to the churches. He was a type of Elijah the prophet.

Note:

"After Jesus opened the door of the most holy, the light of the Sabbath was seen, and the people of God were tested, as the children of Israel were tested anciently, to see it they would keep God's law. I SAW the THIRD angel pointing upward, showing the disappointed ones the way to the holiest of the heaven sanctuary. . . The third angel has lighted up the past, the present, and the future." E.W. 254-5.

"The coming of Christ here described (Dan. 7:13) is not His second coming to the earth. He comes to the Ancient of Days in heaven to receive dominion and glory and a kingdom, which will be given Him at the close of His work as a MEDIATOR. It is this coming, and not His second advent to the earth, that was foretold in prophecy to take place at the termination of the 2300 days in 1844. Attended by heavenly angels our great HIGH PRIEST ENTERS the HOLY of HOLIES and there APPEARS in the PRESENCE of God to ENGAGE in the LAST ACTS of His MINISTRATION in BEHALF of MAN – to PERFORM the WORK of INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT and to make an ATONEMENT for ALL who are SHOWN to be ENTITLED to its BENEFITS." GC 480.

HERE WE SEE:

HISTORY OF THE GREAT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST MOVEMENT AND THE MOST WONDERFUL WORKS OF MRS. E. G. WHITE ARE SUFFICIENT TESTIMONY FOR ANY CANDID MIND. A MESSAGE THAT DOES NOT INCORPORATE THE WORKS OF THIS INSTRUMENTALITY AND THOSE OF MILLER INTO THEIR MESSAGE IS NOT FROM ABOVE. A MESSAGE MAY HAVE SOME OR LOTS OF TRUTH AND ALL DO MORE OR LESS. BUT A MESSAGE ARISING AFTER WILLIAM MILLER'S MESSAGES THAT DOES NOT LINK ITS TRUTH WITH THAT OF THE INSTRUMENTALITIES MENTIONED ABOVE IS DESIGNED ONLY TO LEAD THEM ASTRAY.

"A Threefold Message, – Revelation 14:6, 7 foretells the proclamation of the first angel's message. Then the prophet continues: 'There followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen . . . And the third angel followed them . . .The three messages are but one threefold message: They are three only in the order of their rise. But having risen, they go on together, and are inseparable." G.C. 692:3.

THE FACTS ARE:

ILLUSTRATION:

". . . I was shown three steps – the first, second and third angel's messages. Said my accompanying angel, 'WOE TO HIM WHO SHALL REMOVE A BLOCK OR STIR A PIN OF THESE MESSAGES." E. W. 258.

THUS:

". . . The announcement, 'The HOUR of His JUDGMENT is come,' points to the closing work of Christ's ministration for the salvation of men. . . The work of JUDGMENT which began in 1844 must continue until the cases of all are decided, both of the living and the dead. . . In order to be prepared for the JUDGMENT, it is necessary that men should keep the law of God. THAT LAW WILL BE THE STANDARD OF CHARACTER IN THE JUDGMENT." G.C. 435-6.

THEREFORE:

Thus far in this study, we have pointed out the three angel's messages of Rev. 14, which proceed from the throne of God (Rev. 4:2-5). "They are three only in the order of their rise. But having risen, they go on together, and are inseparable." G.C. 693.

THESE THREE ANGEL'S MESSAGES were constituted in TWO MOVEMENTS. (1) The forerunner, First-day Adventists declaring that the HOUR of His judgment is come, – "at AN HOUR". This is the FIRST PHASE, pre-judgment of the dead. (Rev. 14:6-8; GC 311) (2) The third angel's message arising immediately after 1844, the Seventh-day Adventists (Laodicean church), to proclaim the great DAY of God's judgment is here, the day in which God will judge the dead, – "AT A DAY." This is the SECOND PHASE of the judgment hour message.

THEREFORE:

The Laodicean angel (movement – SDA) and the First-day Adventist are symbolized by the FIRST TWO of the four angels, movements that were to arise in Babylon (bound in Euphrates) Rev. 9:14.

"All classes of second advent believers agree, that the angel brought to view in the 6th, and 7th verses of this chapter (Rev. 14) represents the advent message, to the church and world. If this is true, then ALL FIVE of the ANGELS brought to VIEW in this chapter represent FIVE distinct MESSAGES, PRIOR to the ADVENT or we ARE left WITHOUT a RULE to INTERPRET this chapter." W.L.F. 10,11.

6

THEREFORE:

"This warning is brought to view in Rev. 14. Here is seen a threefold message (SDA) represented AS PROCLAIMED BY HEAVENLY BEINGS and immediately followed by the coming of the SON OF MAN TO REAP the HARVEST of the earth." G.C. 311.

"...What, indeed, if she (SDA) does not accept and practice the message of very present Truth, the FINAL PHASE of the FIRST Angel's Messages which is presently ANNOUNCING the stealthy APPROACH of judgment upon the living. . ." WHR 39.

LOOK: THE KEY TO REV. 14:

". . . Our Advocate presents the cases of each successive generation, and CLOSES (FINISHES) WITH THE LIVING." G.C. 483. "Solemn are the scenes connected with the CLOSING (last) work of the ATONEMENT. . . For many years this work has been in progress. Soon. . . it will pass to the CASES of the LIVING." G.C. 490.

HERE WE SEE:

The CLOSING work of the atonement (harvest), the LAST WORK of the JUDGMENT IS FOR THE LIVING.

7

"Let both (wheat and tares) grow together until the harvest (judgment of the living): and IN THE TIME of HARVEST (atonement, judgment) I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together FIRST the TARES and bind them in BUNDLES to burn them: but gather the WHEAT into my BARN (kingdom)." Matt. 13:30.

"...the harvest (judgment) is (in) the end of the world." Matt. 13:39.

"And ANOTHER angel (message WLF 10,11) CAME OUT OF THE TEMPLE, crying. . . reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe." Rev. 14:15.

PLEASE NOTE:

"For the time is come that judgment (harvest) must begin at the house of God: (the church)." 1 Pet. 4:17.

NOTE:

The CHURCH (house of God) is the FIRST to be judged AFTER the third angel's message has been given to the world.

CONCLUSION:

Rev. 14:15 is a message to the church announcing the judgment of the living. This is the forerunner or pre-harvest of the living and is the same as Rev. 14:6, 7 in its SECOND phase. Please notice that in this verse, in speaking of the first angel, the term "another angel" is used. This denotes that the first angel proclaims a message IN MORE THAN ONE PERIOD. It is obvious and logical that from the evidence here presented Rev. 14:6, 7, the first angel's message in its DOUBLE APPLICATION is the forerunner ANNOUNCING the judgment of the dead in its FIRST PHASE and the FORERUNNER to the judgment of the LIVING in its SECOND PHASE.

8

SPECIAL NOTE:

(1) THE FIRST ANGEL in its FIRST PHASE IS SYMBOLIZED BY THE FIRST ANGEL OF REV. 9:14 BOUND IN EUPHRATES (BABYLON) (2) The THIRD angel in its FIRST phase is the SECOND MOVEMENT (ANGEL) BOUND IN BABYLON (EUPHRATES) (3) The FIRST ANGEL in its SECOND phase (forerunner for judgment of living) is the THIRD MOVEMENT (angel) BOUND IN THE RIVER (nations Isa. 8:7) (4) The JUDGMENT OF LIVING at the house of God is the FOURTH angel, movement bound by BABYLON's river. Four angels, FOUR MOVEMENTS BOUND IN BABYLON'S RIVER – Euphrates.

The FOUR ANGELS are to be loosed FROM THE CONTROL OF THE RIVER. This simply means God's angels will be taken OUT OF THE RIVER THAT HAS THEM BOUND. Since Babylon "The Great" represents ALL THE NATIONS (Rev. 17:12, 13) and the churches (Rev. 17:3) united with them and since God's true people are to be LOOSED FROM THEIR CONTROL; where, then, will they be? Certainly not in Heaven YET, for the LOUD CRY IS TO BE GIVEN TO BABYLON. (Rev. 18:4)

ANSWER:

"But ye, O mountains of Israel (holy land), ye SHALL shoot forth your branches, and YIELD your FRUIT to my PEOPLE of Israel for THEY are at HAND to COME." Eze. 36:8.

COME TO WHERE?

"... To my holy mountain Jerusalem saith the Lord." Isa. 66:20. "...and all nations (all the RIGHTEOUS FROM THE NATIONS, Babylon the Great) shall flow unto IT. . . for out of Zion (Mt. Zion) shall go forth the law (God's ruling headquarters), and the word (Truth) of the Lord from Jerusalem." Isa. 2:2,3.

NOTE:

We see in Rev. 14 that after the three angel's messages had been given to the WORLD the Lord judges (HARVESTS) THE CHURCH – separates the WHEAT from the tares IN THE CHURCH (Rev. 14:15,16; 1 Pet. 4:17; Luke 14:17-22). After the reaping IN THE CHURCH there is to be A REAPING IN THE WORLD. (Rev. 14:17-19; Matt. 25:31; Luke 14:23). These TWO MESSAGES are also depicted in Rev. 7:1-9; Rev. 18:1-4; Rev. 7:9. These two angel's messages of Rev. 14:15,17 which are the same as the LAST TWO ANGELS, MOVEMENTS, that are BOUND IN THE RIVER EUPHRATES, Rev. 9:14.

QUESTION:

How can we identify TWO MORE PROPHETIC MOVEMENTS COMING AFTER the SDA movement and where are they to be found here in Babylon's river, since there are hundreds of movements saying they have the truth for the church? – every wind of doctrine is blowing.

ANSWER:

They are identified by the messages they are bearing and the work they are doing. The TWO MESSAGES are better illustrated by the ANGEL ASCENDING from THE EAST (Rev. 7:1-8), and the ONE WHO DESCENDS. (Rev. 18:1).

ILLUSTRATION: "MY FIRST VISION"

"The 144,000 were all sealed and perfectly united. On their foreheads was written, GOD, NEW JERUSALEM, and a GLORIOUS STAR containing JESUS' NEW NAME." LS 65; EW 15.

THREE SEALS:

SEAL #1 GOD – Seal in the law – (Isa. 8:16) Rev. 14:6-10.

SEAL #2 NEW JERUSALEM – Rev. 7:2; 3:12.

10

THE PLAIN FACT IS:

The ANGEL (movement) teaching the message about the East (Rev. 7:2), the establishment of God's kingdom, "in the days of these kings." Dan. 2:44; IS ALSO BOUND IN EUPHRATES.

Plainly, there are FOUR ANGELS (MOVEMENTS) BOUND IN EUPHRATES (Rev. 9:14). But there are only THREE SEALING MESSAGES FOR THE 144,000. The FOUR ANGELS that are bound REPRESENT MOVEMENTS and BEGIN WITH THE MILLERITE MOVEMENT, – AT AN HOUR. The THREE SEALING MESSAGES are represented by FIVE ANGELS of

11

Rev. 14. There are three angels in the FIRST SEAL and ONE EACH in the LAST TWO.

". . . If 'ALL', then it is definite that ALL the living saints are COUNTED under the SEVENTH seal . . . The 144,000 are sealed BEFORE the SILENCE 'of half an hour,' or at the OPENING OF THE SEAL, but they are JUDGED (counted) in the period of the SEVENTH seal, for the prayer was for 'all' saints – THE LIVING.

"Therefore, A REVELATION OF THE JUDGMENT FOR THE LIVING is of AS GREAT IMPORTANCE AS THE REVELATION OF THE GOSPEL ITSELF. For the judgment (blotting out the sins) – parenthesis theirs – IS THE CROWNING ACT in the gospel of Christ." 2SR 220.

PLEASE NOTE:

These THREE subjects are the MOST IMPORTANT in all the Bible, for the central figure in each is our REDEEMER, THE MESSIAH. We shall deal with each subject separately, (although they are very closely bound together) and sum up in a few words all that has been written.

In the first part of this study we dealt with the movements pertaining to the judgment of the dead. But that which is to follow DEALS WITH THE LIVING AND THE TIME OF EACH EVENT.

[A.] SEALING OF 144,000

". . . the 144,000 are those who are sealed in the judgment for the church . . . When this number is

12

sealed, probation will close for the church." 2SR 165.

". . . the period of the SIXTH SEAL, in the days of the sealing of the 144,000." 1TGr 35:20.

"So in the TIME BETWEEN the 'LATTER RAIN' of TRUTH (at a month) and the 'OUTPOURING' of THE SPIRIT'S POWER, there will be SEALED a consecrated number who will escape from among the slain of the Lord." 1A 91.

"The sealing time is VERY SHORT and will soon be over." E.W. 58.

". . . It will be noted that the 144,000 are called 'FIRST FRUITS,' denoting that they are sealed at the beginning of 'the harvest' – the commencement of the time to separate 'the tares' from 'the wheat'." 5Tr 74.

"When the marking (sealing) IS FINISHED, the FIVE MEN WITH THE SLAUGHTER WEAPONS BEGIN WITH THE ANCIENT MEN WHICH WERE BEFORE THE HOUSE. . . see Volume 3, pages 266, 267, and Volume 5, pages 210-212." 1SR 29-30.

"The seal is the permit; it PLACES THEIR NAMES IN THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE, and thus it grants to them the RIGHT TO APPEAR BEFORE THE FATHER IN THE JUDGMENT; not in person, but in FIGURE; thus having their SINS BLOTTED OUT." 2SR 184:4.

HERE WE SEE:

The 144,000 are sealed in THE TIME OF THE JUDGMENT FOR THE CHURCH. Since the 144,000 are sealed BEFORE THE SILENCE OF HALF AN HOUR, this judgment could NOT BE THE JUDGMENT for the 144000 which comes AFTER THE SILENCE. The judgment spoken of here is the judgment for the church, not for the 144,000. This sealing period is very short (EW 58). It comes at the end of the LATTER RAIN OF TRUTH Or "in the time between the 'LATTER RAIN' OF TRUTH (S. Rod message) and the 'OUTPOURING OF THE SPIRITS POWER'."

NOTE:

The "latter rain" of truth AT A MONTH ceased in 1955 at the passing of the messenger. Read November S. Code Vol. 11-1:14. This year (1955) also marked the beginning of the BRANCH MESSAGE – THE JUDGMENT OF THE LIVING IN THE CHURCH AND SEALING OF THE 144,000 WHICH WE HAVE UNDERSTOOD WOULD be accomplished IN FOUR SHORT YEARS (1TGr 10-20-1) – a very short period of time (EW 58). But do not confuse this JUDGMENT FOR THE CHURCH

13

with that of the 144,000 AFTER THE HALF HOUR SILENCE as some have in the past. This phase of the judgment will explain under the topic of "The Judgment." The end of this period should bring us to the time of half an hour silence, the ANTITYPICAL PASSOVER.

B. The HALF AN HOUR SILENCE:

"What made the SILENCE? As the judgment opened, John states: 'And out of the throne proceeded . . . VOICES . . . (Rev. 4:5, 8). The VOICES are CONTINUOUS day and night while the judgment (of the dead) is going on. But SOMETIME AFTER the SEVENTH SEAL was opened these voices were silenced for about halt an hour . . . Evidently the judgment, for some reason, HAD STOPPED, and half an HOUR LATER IT RESUMED. . .

"What made the interruption and brought about the change? . . . We conclude that the 'HALF AN HOUR' or SEVEN DAYS STANDS FOR THE PURIFICATION OF THE CHURCH, pointing forward to the FULFILLMENT OF MALACHI 3:1-6. But we have a more definite proof, which will clear all doubts.

"In observance of the PASSOVER, the Lord commanded Israel to celebrate that occasion seven days. . . Israel after the flesh going into Egypt, then out of Egypt to Mount Sinai, the passover in Egypt on the night when the death angel smote the first born of man and beast at the departure of Israel , are TYPES OF THE CHURCH AT THE PRESENT TIME – the CHURCH GOING OUT OF EGYPT – WORLDLINESS, the purification of the church "the SEPARATION OF THE TARES FROM THE WHEAT THE FULFILLMENT OF EZE. 9." 2SR 216, Read P.P. 277.

". . . On the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, the very day and month on which for fifteen long centuries the Passover lamb had been slain, Christ, having eaten the Passover with the disciples. . ." G.C. 399.

". . . the Lord's Supper was instituted as memorial of the SAME EVENT of which Passover had been A TYPE." P.P. 539.

". . . The conclusion then is that as long as we stay with her (the church) there seems to be no need of ordaining the Lord's Supper privately among ourselves, perhaps not before the HOUR COMES for the PENITENT to be SEPARATED from the IMPENITENT, as taught by the TYPES – by the Passover in Egypt, AND by the Passover on the night when Judas was to go out, never again to walk with the twelve." 1TGr 3:6.

14

". . . If it becomes necessary for us to know ahead of time the day and HOUR of the PURIFICATION OF THE CHURCH, the ANTITYPICAL Passover (Lord's Supper), we will be told." 2TG 41:3.

"...the 430 prophetic years originally applied to Abraham and his seed, OVERLAP the 430 years of Ezekiel 4. The 430 years of Ezekiel should terminate in 1929 or 1930, but the PERFECT fulfillment of the prophetic period of Abraham in its ANTI-TYPE (Lord's Supper) is YET IN THE FUTURE (GOING OUT OF EGYPT). . . Ezekiel's prophecy (430 years) is intended to point forward to the ANNOUNCEMENT of the PREDICTED REFORMATION, and the ONE THROUGH ABRAHAM, to its COMPLETION (Ezekiel nine)." 2SR 275.

WE PLAINLY SEE:

NOTE:

From the calling of Abraham to the Passover in Egypt is 430 (PP 760), plus fifteen long centuries brings us to the crucifixion (G.C. 399). From the cross to 1530, Luther's reformation – the Augsburg Confession, is 1500 years. The pale horse rider was to have power over a FOURTH PART OF THE EARTH, – 1500 years. (2 SR 212). 1530 + 430 = 1960.

Some seem to think the 430 years would not end until June 25, 1960 since it was at that time in 1530 that Luther came before the Diet of Augsburg for his confession. Here is where the princes of Germany signed the article by Luther, called the Augsburg Confession. However, there was a Diet held in Augsburg on April 8, 1530 (see the

15

Concordia Encyclopedia) in which an article of faith was requested from the Protestants.

We have here a matter of a few days. If we wait until 1961 to institute the Lord's Supper among us, since there is no type for a Passover in June, there would be a lengthening of days. But 1960 seems to be a shortening of days or does God reckon from the April 8 date? Was it the princes that broke the power of the pope on June 25, OR WAS IT THE ARTICLE THAT WAS BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD prepared by Luther prior to June 25 which brought the VICTORY FOR THE PROTESTANTS?

Our SDA ministers tell us it was the French army's taking the pope prisoner in the 1790s that broke his power. But Luther, Sr. White, and Bro. Houteff testify that it was the WORDS OF TRUTH "The just shall live by faith" that rendered the pontiff powerless before General Berthier.

The S. Rod messenger tells us that he did not know when to observe the Lord's Supper, but that when the time comes for us to observe it right, the Lord would show us how and when to observe it correctly.

Although we may not know all there is to know about observing the ordinances at Passover, nevertheless, we do have a thus saith the Lord for the time. It must be that since we have the knowledge, IT IS TIME. For, what is knowledge worth to one if he does not make a right use of it? One thing is certain: to him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him, it is sin.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE BELIEVE THE KINGDOM WILL BE SET UP IN 1960. We have never taught that or even believed the 144,000 would stand on Mt. Zion this year. We have understood for quite some time that AFTER the antitypical PASSOVER, the HARVEST would BEGIN FOR THE 144,000. And HARVEST means JUDGMENT, a period of time. (3Tr 65)

TO ILLUSTRATE:

#1 "Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto your, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathered fruit unto life eternal that both he that SOWETH and he that REAPETH may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another REAPETH, I sent you to reap that wherein ye bestowed no

16

labor: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." John 4:34-38.

The FACTS ARE PLAIN:

#2 "Behold . . . The plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them." Amos 9:13,14.

HERE WE SEE:

C. THE JUDGMENT:

". . .THE JUDGMENT, therefore, is to determine WHO ARE THE 'WHEAT' and who are the 'TARES', and to DESIGNATE THE FUTURE OF EACH. . . And as the congregation of the dead as well as the congregation of the living are COMMINGLED WITH THE GOOD AND THE BAD, the judgment takes place among both, – first among the dead, then among the living. In the judgment the decision is made as to who are worthy of eternal life, and who of eternal death. . . who are to come up in the first resurrection (Rev. 20:6), and who in the second; also who are to be translated when Jesus comes. . . and who are to perish at the brightness of His coming. . . This is the FIRST ASPECT of the judgment, and being ONLY a BOOK WORK (Dan. 7:10),

17

a work that does NOT disturb either the dead in the grave or the LIVING in the church, IT takes place in heaven." 5A 30.

THUS:

"The SECOND ASPECT is NOT a book work but an ACTUAL SEPARATION OF THE DEAD ON THE RESURRECTION day, and of the LIVING ON THE DAY OF PURIFICATION . . . whereas the worthy living are judged TO LIVE ON, and the UNWORTHY JUDGED TO DIE. And this is the simple reason for the judgment." 5A 31.

THE FACTS ARE:

NOTE:

This is the aspect of the judgment we promised to explain. This is the work of investigative judgment the BRANCH (Christ) started AFTER the "latter rain" of truth ceased in 1955. This is when the NEW NAME came AT THE BEGINNING OF HARVEST but IN THE TIME of the harvest (1 SR 233), AFTER the HALF AN HOUR SILENCE, the church on her way home will receive a NEW NAME (2TG 10:30). Bro. Houteff shows that this book work did not begin for the church in his day.

"If I whet my GLITTERING sword, and MINE hand take hold on JUDGMENT I will render vengence to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me." Deut. 32:41.

18

"That all flesh may know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath; it shall not return any more." Eze. 21:5.

SPECIAL NOTE:

There are TWO TYPES of the PASSOVER that brought a VISIBLE CLEANING for our EXAMPLE. ONE IN EGYPT and ONE WHEN THE TWELVE WERE CLEANSED (1 TGr 3:6). WHICHEVER TYPE IS TO BE FULFILLED AT THIS PASSOVER we will SOON KNOW. The final results are the same.

SUMMARY:

(1) Rev. 14:6-8 Millerite movement, – the forerunner of the judgment of the dead; first and second angels, – AT THE HOUR; (2) Rev. 14:9, 10 SDA, the third angel; the three angels fused into one; the seal of God, – AT A DAY; (3) Rev. 7:1-8 final phase of the first angel – the forerunner of the judgment of the living, DSDA; FORMER AND LATTER RAIN IN FIRST MONTH. Zech. 2:2,3 (4) Rev. 18:1, FINAL PHASE OF SECOND ANGEL, – THE BRANCH, Judgment of the LIVING (a) at the house of God (b) in Babylon after the Kingdom.
