THE 144000

    ”A spirit of pharisaism has been coming in upon the people who claim to believe the truth for these last days. They are self-satisfied. They have said, "We have the truth. There is no more light for the people of Elohiym." But we are not safe when we take a position that we will not accept anything else than that upon which we have settled as truth. We should take the Bible, and investigate it closely for ourselves. We should dig in the mine of Elohiym's word for truth. "Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart." Some have asked me if I thought there was any more light for the people of Elohiym. Our minds have become so narrow that we do not seem to understand that the Lord has a mighty work to do for us. Increasing light is to shine upon us; for "the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.“

     ”New light will ever be revealed on the word of Elohiym to him who is in living connection with the Sun of Righteousness. Let no one come to the conclusion that there is no more truth to be revealed.”

THE 144000“Let us strive with all the power that Elohiym has given us to be among the hundred and forty-four thousand. And let us do all that we can to help others to gain heaven.”

THE VISION: REVELATION 7: 1-4Revelation 7:1-4 (KJV)

[7:1] And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four

corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. [2] And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living Elohiym: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt

the earth and the sea, [3] Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our Elohiym in their foreheads. [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.

5

THE ‘WINDS’ ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BLOW UNTIL THE SERVANTS OF GOD ‘THE 144,000’ HAVE BEEN SEALED

FACT

6

Daniel 7:2-3 (KJV)[2] Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. [3] and four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. GC 440

Jeremiah 51:1-2 (KJV)[51:1] thus saith YAHUWAH; behold, I will raise up against

Babylon, …, a destroying wind; [2] and will

send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: ….

WHAT DO ‘WINDS’ MEAN IN GENERAL?

7

“Winds are a symbol of strife. The four winds of heaven striving upon the great sea represent the terrible scenes of conquest and revolution by which kingdoms have attained to power. “E. G. White GC 440

WHAT DO ‘WINDS’ MEAN IN GENERAL?

8

World war 1 and world war 2, and all the wars in the world have not affected the work of Elohiym.But to affect Elohiym’s people in such a way, strife here must have a religious aim and be globally political. It is a global religious conflict between the Church and the world!

NATURE OF THIS STRIFE

9

“     ... The decree will soon go forth prohibiting men to buy or sell

…save him that hath the mark of the beast. We came near having this realized in California a short time since; but

this was only the threatening of the blowing of the four winds. As yet they are held by the four angels. We are not just ready. There is a work yet to be done, and then the angels will be bidden to let go, that the four winds may blow upon the earth. That will be a decisive time for Elohiym's children, a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation. ... “ E. G. White 5T152

WHAT DO ‘WINDS’ MEAN IN REVELATION 7: 1-4?

10

The “Four Winds” of Revelation chapter 7:1-4, mean the imposition of the National and Universal Sunday Laws. It is the “mark of the beast”! This will surely break the hands of Elohiym’s people. (Daniel 12:7). And Elohiym will not allow it until the sealing of the 144000 is completed.Until it is done, the Sunday laws cannot be

imposed.

THE ‘FOUR WINDS’ OF REVELATION CHAPTER 7

11

WHEN SHALL THE SEALING TAKE PLACE?

IF THE SEALING MUST TAKE PLACE

BEFORE THE SUNDAY LAWS, WHEN IS IT GOING TO HAPPEN?

THE SEALING IS IN PROGRESS NOW! THE NUMBER IS NOT COMPLETE YET. AS SOON AS THE NUMBER 144,000 ARE COMPLETE, THE WINDS WILL BLOW!

12

WHERE ARE THE 144,000 FROM?

Revelation 7:1-4

Where are they to be sealed

from? The church or the

world? If the Church, which Church?

13

FROM WHERERevelation 7:4 (KJV)

[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.

14

FROM WHICH ISRAEL?

FROM THE STATE OF ISRAEL, THE JEWISH NATION,

OR SPIRITUAL ISRAEL?

15

FROM WHERE (3)

     In order to be purified and to remain pure, Seventh-day Adventists must have the Holy Spirit in their hearts

and in their homes. The Lord has given me light that when the Israel of today humble themselves before Him,

and cleanse the soul-temple from all defilement, He will hear their prayers in behalf of the sick and will bless in the use of His

remedies for disease. ... 9T164

Modern Israel is the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

16

FROM WHERE (4)Revelation 14: 1, 4 (KJV)

[14:1] 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.

[4] These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were

redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto Elohiym and to the Lamb.

17

FROM WHERE (5)

They are called virgins because they profess a pure faith.

E. G. WHITE COL 406

Note, please that ‘woman’ in prophecy means a church. A pure woman means a pure church and a vile woman means a fallen church. The ‘144000’ are sealed from the pure church, which professes a pure faith. The Remnant church is that church. They are from the SDA Church.

18

LITERAL OR SYMBOLIC?Revelation 7:4 (KJV)

[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 7:5 (KJV)

[5] Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand.

Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the

tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.

The number is literal. Compare this with Revelation chapter 20:4

Revelation 20:4 (KJV) [4] …; and they lived and reigned with Messiah

a thousand years.

19

LITERAL OR SYMBOLIC (2)?

The number is literal.

Revelation 7:9 (KJV)

[9] After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

20

LITERAL OR SYMBOLIC (3)?‘144000’ is literal because, the ‘multitude’ is literal.

The first group is countable. The second group is uncountable.

When the Bible counts, it is always literal. When Yahuwshuwah fed 5000, it is exact. The 1000 years of the millennium is literal even though, the prophecy is in symbolic context.

“Soon we heard the voice of Elohiym like many waters, which

gave us the day and hour of Yahuwshuwah' coming. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake ...”

Ellen White EW15.

21

LITERAL OR SYMBOLIC (4)?

“Let us strive with all the power that Elohiym

has given us to be among the hundred and forty-four thousand. And let us do all that we can to help others to gain heaven.”

RH March 9, 1905, par. 4

22

EZEKIEL AND JOHN SAW THE SAME THING

     This sealing of the servants of Elohiym is the same that was shown to Ezekiel in vision. John

also had been a witness of this most startling revelation. E. G. White TM 445

John and Ezekiel saw the same Vision. Rev. 7 and Ezekiel 9 are the same. The Sealed shall live and the unsealed shall be slaughtered! By the five Angels!

23

WHAT KIND OF ADVENTISTS WILL FALL?     Who are standing in the counsel of Elohiym at this time? Is it those who virtually excuse wrongs among the professed people

of Elohiym and who murmur in their hearts, if not openly, against those who would reprove sin? …,

they will never receive the mark of Elohiym's sealing approval. They will fall in the general destruction of the wicked, represented by the work of the five men bearing slaughter weapons. 3T 266-267

24

WHO SHALL BE SEALED?     Mark this point with care: Those who receive the pure mark of truth, wrought in them by the power of the Holy Ghost,

represented by a mark by the man in linen, are those "that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done" in the church. Their love for purity and the honor and glory of Elohiym is such, and they have so clear a view of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, that they are represented as

being in agony, even sighing and crying. Read the ninth chapter of Ezekiel. E. G. White 3T 266-267

25

HOW SHALL THE SEALING BE DONE?

     SEALING SHALL BE DONE “by the man in linen”

The Man in Linen is Yahuwshuwah in the Most Holy Place. He blots away your sins

and transfers your name into the Book of Life. He proclaims Revelation

22:11 over your name. You are Sealed forever!

Revelation 22:11 (KJV)

[11] …: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

26

OUR GUILT & WHY ONE MAY BE SLAUGHTERED

“The professed followers of Messiah are no longer a separate and peculiar people. The line of demarcation is indistinct. The people are subordinating themselves to the world, to its practices, its customs, its selfishness. The church has gone over to the world in transgression of the law, when the world should have come over to the church in

obedience to the law. Daily the church is being converted to the world.” E. G. White COL 315, 316

We brought Christmas , Easter into the Church. Mothers’ day, Fathers’ day, Pastors’ day, wedding rings, irreverence, Sabbath-breaking, indecent dressing, party spirit, membership of worldly groups into the Church! The Spirit of Prophecy has been nearly completely abandoned by many of us! Vegetarianism is forbidden!

Where is the difference between us and the world?

27

THE CHURCH MUST BE PUREEphesians 5:27 (KJV)

[27] That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;

but that it should be holy and without blemish.

1 Peter 4:17 (KJV)

[17] For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of Elohiym: …

28

ATTITUDE TO SIN IN SEALING TIME

       ”The true people of Elohiym, who have the spirit of the work of the Lord and the salvation of souls at heart, will ever view sin in its real, sinful character. They will always be on the side of faithful and plain dealing with sins which easily beset the people of Elohiym. Especially

in the closing work for the church, in

the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are to stand

without fault before the throne of Elohiym, will they feel most deeply the wrongs of Elohiym's professed people." E. G. White 3T266

29

ATTITUDE TO SIN IN SEALING TIME 2

       ”But the general slaughter of all those who do not thus see the wide contrast between sin and righteousness, and do not feel as those do who stand in the counsel of Elohiym and receive the mark, is described in the order to the five men with slaughter weapons: "Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 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." E. G. White 3T267

30

WHAT SEAL IS THIS?

This is not the Sabbath seal! The Sabbath Seal is not enough. Those sealed in Ezekiel 9 already have the Sabbath seal.

31

WHAT SEAL IS THIS - 2?  ”Study the 9th chapter of Ezekiel. These words will be literally fulfilled; yet the time is passing, and the people are asleep. They refuse to humble their souls and to be converted. Not a great while longer will the Lord bear with the people who have such great and important truths revealed to them, but who refuse to bring these truths into their individual experience. The time is short. Elohiym is calling; will you hear? Will you receive His message? Will you be converted before it is too late? Soon, very soon, every case will be decided for eternity.”

MR Vol. 1 page 260.

32

WHAT FATE AWAITS LEADERS?     The class who do not feel grieved over their own spiritual declension, nor mourn over the sins of others, will be left without the seal of Elohiym. The Lord commissions His messengers, the men with slaughtering weapons in their hands: …. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house."      Here we see that the church—the Lord's sanctuary—was the first to feel the stroke of the wrath of Elohiym. The ancient men, those to whom Elohiym had given great light and who had stood as guardians of the spiritual interests of the people, had betrayed their trust. They had taken the position that we need not look for miracles and the marked manifestation of Elohiym'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 never again lift up their voice like a trumpet to show Elohiym's people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins. These dumb dogs that would not bark are the ones who feel the just vengeance of an offended Elohiym. Men, maidens, and little children all perish together. E. G. White 5T211

33

THE CHURCH MUST BE PURE

“Elohiym's displeasure is upon His people, and He will not manifest His power in the midst of them while sins exist among them and are fostered by those in responsible positions.” 3T270

Elohiym has promised that where the shepherds are not true He will take charge of the flock Himself. Elohiym has never made the

flock wholly dependent upon human instrumentalities. But the days of purification of the church are hastening on apace. Elohiym will have a people pure and true. In the mighty sifting soon to take place we shall be better able to measure the strength of Israel. The signs reveal that the time is near when the Lord will manifest that His fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor. 5T80

34

THERE WILL NOT BE ONE SINNER IN THE CHURCH THAT WILL GIVE THE LOUD CRY!

    ”Clad in the armor of Messiah's righteousness, the church is to enter upon her

final conflict. "Fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners" (Song 6:10), she is to go forth into all the world, conquering and to conquer. PK 725

35

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE UNSEALEDIsaiah 66:15-16 (KJV)

“[15] For, behold, the YAHUWAH will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his

rebuke with flames of fire. [16] For by fire and by his sword will the YAHUWAH plead with all flesh: and

the slain of the YAHUWAH shall be many.”

Pleading with the world and slaying the unconverted in the Church!

36

CONTINUED INDULGENCE IN FLESH FOODS WILL BRING DISASTER.Isaiah 66:17-20 (KJV)

[17] They that sanctify themselves, …, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the YAHUWAH. [18] For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they

shall come, and see my glory. [19] And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. [20] And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the YAHUWAH out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the YAHUWAH, ...

survivors (144000) to give the loud cry and the bring the multitude into the Church. To take the places of the fallen!

Rev 7:9 saw the same thing described by Isaiah 66:18-20.

37

THE HARVEST FROM THE WORLDTHE MULTITUDE COMES IN     I saw that Elohiym had children who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They have not rejected the light upon it. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we (the 144000) were filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. This enraged the churches and nominal Adventists, as they could not refute the Sabbath

truth. And at this time Elohiym's chosen all saw clearly that we had the truth, and they came out and endured the persecution with us. EW 33

38
