Happy Sabbath Everyone,

The ancient Passover in Egypt, in which perished all the first-born of man and beast that were found in dwellings which had not the blood on the doorposts was not only a historical story but it also a forespoke an antitypical Passover in the future in the Laodicean church in which all who are left without the mark because of not sighing and crying for the abominations in their midst will surely fall under the slaughter weapons of the angels (Ezek. 9:2).

ISRAEL’S GOING OUT Of EGYPT

That the exodus of Moses' day is a miniature demonstration of the exodus of the near future, the Spirit through Isaiah the prophet emphatically declares:
"And in that day there shall he a root of Jesse [a nucleus of his descendants], which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and His rest [the land where it stands] shall be glorious.
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant [those who are yet among the Gentiles] of His people, which shall be left from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
"And He shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
"The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. [There shall be perfect peace among them].
"But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
"And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea [world]; and with His mighty wind shall He shake His hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dry shod.
"And there shall be an highway for the remnant of His people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that He came up out of the land of Egypt." Isa. 11:10-16.

Very evidently, then, the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night that so gloriously led the Hebrew host out of Egypt foreshadowed and even greater and more glorious protective covering, victoriously leading Israel of today not only on their way to the land of promise but all the while they are there.

For "it shall come to pass," reveals the prophet, "that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem [after the sinner is taken away], shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughter of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

"And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defense.
"And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain." Isa. 4:3-6.

These prophetic passages with certainty forewarn that shortly the sinners will be taken away from Jerusalem ("the filth of the daughters of Zion" be washed away), and thus they promise that only the righteous from the four corners of the earth will have a part in the forthcoming antitypical exodus.

The Passover. too, in which perished all the first-born of man and beast that were found in dwellings which had not the blood on the doorposts, forespoke an antitypical Passover in which all who are left without the mark because of not sighing and crying for the abominations in their midst will surely fall under the slaughter weapons of the angels (Ezek. 9:2).

When will this come to pass? The type unquestionably reveals the time through the fact that only the first-born were then in danger. Accordingly, the antitypical Passover will take place in the time of the first fruit harvest -- the sealing of the 144,000, the first fruits, the first to go to antitypical Jerusalem, the first to stand on Mount Zion with the Lamb, the first-born by the Spirit. Obviously, all of the first fruits who receive the mark will live on, and all who fail to receive the mark will perish as surely as did the first-born who at the time of the typical Passover failed to apply the blood on the door-posts.

Happy Sabbath All,

When will the events mention in Isa. 66:15, 16, 19, 20 be taking place? and to whom these chapter was referring to?

Isa. 66:15, 16, 19, 20 -- "For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with His chariots like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by His sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many....

"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.

"And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the Lord 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 Lord, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord."

After the slaying of the sinners who say in their hearts that the Lord delayeth His coming, and who eat and drink with the drunken (Matt. 24:48, 49), then it is that the Lord sends those who escape from the slaying of the Lord on a missionary tour; He sends them, you observe, to the Gentiles, to the nations that as yet know not God and His message. The escaped ones bring to the house of the Lord all their brethren, all that will be saved. Thus is the gospel work finished, and thus are God's people saved and called out of antitypical Babylon (Rev. 18:4) into a clean place where there is no sin and no danger of Babylon's plagues falling on them.

Happy Sabbath All,

Cogitation:
How God will accomplish His works? Will He use GCSDA?

WILL STOP THEIR EARS AND CLOSE THEIR DOORS

"But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto Me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted." Ezek. 3:7. "But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:...and shalt not be to them a reprove for they are a rebellious house." Ezek.3:25, 26.

"In the last solemn work," predicts the Spirit of Prophecy in identical view, "few great men will be engaged." -- Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 80. "...they will not 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.... There will be those among us who will always want to control the work of God, to dictate 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." -- Testimonies to Ministers, p. 300. Hence the question:

How Will the Message Reach the People?

On account of their refusing to hear, "God will use ways and means," answers the Spirit of Prophecy, "by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness." -- Id., p. 300.

"God has promised that where the shepherds are not true He will take charge of the flock himself.... In this time, the gold will be separated from the dross in the church. True godliness will be clearly distinguished from the appearance and tinsel of it. Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy, will then go out in darkness.... Those who have been timid and self-distrustful, will declare themselves openly for Christ and His truth. The most weak and hesitating in the church will be as David -- willing to do and dare" (Testimonies, Vol. 5, pp. 80, 81) -- facts which, along with those which ensue, show that Nothing Can Hinder the Lord.

Happy Sabbath everyone,

There is no pride so dangerous as spiritual pride. -- Testimonies to Ministers p. 109.

TO THE LEADING BRETHREN.

Dear Brethren:

Again we plead with you that, even though you despise the source of the plea, you make a through investigation of the message that has come to you in the name of the Lord, lest you repeat the history of the Jews. For of all men, you should realize most acutely the dreadful danger of closing your eyes and stopping your ears, even though it be to the words of only some poor "fisherman."

Unless you repent of your present attitude toward the message, "and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart be forgiven thee," then just so surely as your eyes now read these words, your wrong course will bring upon you, and that very shortly, the fulfillment of that fearful pronouncement of the True Witness: "Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing [truth or prophets]," "I will spue thee out of My mouth."

Brethren, remember that "there is no pride so dangerous as spiritual pride. -- Testimonies to Ministers p. 109.

Foreseeing that the message was to find you full of self-complacence over your spiritual attainments, the Lord mercifully forewarned you: "Thou art neither cold nor hot;" that is, thou art lukewarm, satisfied. "I would thou wert cold or hot," -- dissatisfied, -- wanting everything rather than feeling that you have need of nothing. Then you would not by your actions be saying, "I am rich, and increased with goods and have need of nothing," -- neither truth nor prophets, -- but would know that "thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked."

Brethren, may these disillusioning words open your eyes that you may see yourselves as you are, so that "the shame of thy nakedness do not appear." The promise is unfailing: "Anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see." Our prayers are that you fail not, for we love you.

Remember that though the Lord in His great mercy has called you out of darkness to walk in His marvelous light, yet if you walk not therein, your light shall become darkness and your goods a b***y.

Says the Lord: "I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare." Ezek. 16:7. But "as many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." Rev. 3:19. Or "therefore will I return, and take away My corn in the time thereof, and My wine in the season thereof, and will recover My wool and My flax given to cover her nakedness." Hos. 2:9.

Take heed, Brethren, lest by your willful course you incur God's displeasure and (speaking in the mixed figures of these correlative prophecies) in His awful wrath He strip you naked, and "spue thee out of [His] mouth." Then you will be "hot," but to no avail, for it will be forever too late to change and though like Esau you shall weep bitterly the Lord shall not hear you.

No more honest in their deception than are you in yours, yet the Jews at least gave audience to Christ, where as you have not been that fair. Not-withstanding that Inspiration characterizes you as "blind" and in "a terrible deception" (Testimonies Vol. 3, p. 254), you are setting yourselves up as wise spiritual guides, even demanding that Inspiration bow down to your decision as to what shall or what shall not be brought before God's people! Your behavior is as unreasonable as the strictures of the ancient scribes and Pharisees against the teachings of Christ!

Increasingly your challenging attitude toward the present revelations from God's Word, is crying out: "Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I know not the Lord neither will I let Israel go." Ex. 5:2.

The Lord's counsel is: "Precious light is to shine forth from the Word of God, and let no one presume to dictate what shall or what shall not be brought before the people in the messages of enlightenment that He shall send, and so quench the Spirit of God. Whatever may be his position of authority, no one has a right to shut away the light from the people." -- Testimonies on Sabbath School Work p. 65.

"God means what He says. -- Testimonies Vol. 5, p. 365.

"Men...through selfishness...crowd down the very ones whom God is using to diffuse the light He has given them...Satan's skill is exercised....He works to restrict religious liberty....Organizations...will work under Satan's dictation to bring men under the control of men; and fraud and guile will bear the semblance of zeal for truth and for the advancement of the kingdom of God....such men assume to exercise the prerogatives of God -- they presume to do that which God Himself will not do in seeking to control the minds of men. Thus they follow in the track of Romanism.... In such arrangements the man who allows his mind to be ruled by the mind of another is thus separated from God and exposed to temptation....but God has plainly set it before us. He says, 'Cursed be the man that trusteth in man and maketh flesh his arm. -- Testimonies Vol. 7, pp. 179, 180, 181, 178.

Calling yourselves men of "experience," you say: "If a brother has any light on the Scriptures, let him submit it to us, and if we see no light in it, let him drop it." But, Brethren, how can you see light in anything without looking into it? And how can you discern spiritual things unless you "anoint thine eyes with eyesalve ['revealed truth'], that thou mayest see"? Refusing to do this, how will you ever discern truth?

Devotional Reading:

THE CHURCH TRIUMPHANT

When will the church really become God's Dwelling Place? By human effort it is as impossible to bring about such a change as it is to dry up the ocean. Only God can do it. But when He does, He will certainly make a clean work of it:

"And I will," He says, "fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy My people, since they return not from their ways." Jer. 15:7.

His "fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." Matt. 3:12.

"I saw that the Lord was whetting his sword in Heaven to cut them down. Oh that every lukewarm professor could realize the clean work that God is about to make among His professed people." -- Testimonies, Vol. 1, page 190.

"The Lord will work to purify His church. I tell you in truth, the Lord is about to turn and overturn in the institutions called by His name. Just how soon this refining process will begin, I can not say, but it will not be long deferred. He whose fan is in His hand will cleanse His temple of its moral defilement. He will thoroughly purge His floor." -- Testimonies to Ministers, page 373.

"The time has come for earnest and powerful efforts to rid the church of the slime and filth which is tarnishing her purity." -- Id., p. 450.

Do not, my Brethren, say: "The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off." For "the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision." Ezek. 12:27, 23. "For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace," says the Lord, "and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth." Isa. 62:1.

"But the days of purification of the church are hastening on apace. God 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.... Those who have trusted to intellect, genius or talent, will not...stand at the head of rank and file" (Testimonies, Vol. 5, p. 80

Happy Sabbath everyone,

Is the slaughter of Ezekiel 9 to take place in the world or in the church? Is it the seven last plagues, or is it The Purification Of The Church?"

Ezek. 9:1, 4, 9 -- "He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand. 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. Then said He unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, and the Lord seeth not."

The angels have charge of the "city," Jerusalem, not of the world, and not of Babylon. Even an altogether uninformed Christian knows that the terms Jerusalem, Judah, and Israel, mean the church, never even as much as imply the "world." They have always meant the church and always will mean the church, for that is what they are.

The slaughter of Ezekiel 9 is positively not the same as the seven last plagues (Rev. 16), because the plagues fall on Babylon, but the slaughter, on Judah and Jerusalem. Moreover, the angels of Ezekiel 9 slay every one who does not have the mark, but the plagues do not slay anyone. By wresting Moses' writings, the Jews tried to refute Christ's teachings and it is certain that if the Laodiceans continue to wrest Sister White's writings in trying to refute the message for today, then their end shall be even more mournful than was the Jews'.

Concerning what she says about Ezekiel 9 read Testimonies, Vol. 3, pg. 267; Id., Vol. 5, pg. 211; also The Great Controversy, pp. 656, 657. Ezekiel nine pictures the Judgment of the Living in the house of God (1 Pet. 4:17) -- the sealing of the saints and the destruction of the wicked in the church.

OBJECTIONS AGAINST THE CHANNEL GOD MAY USE

History proves that many have risen against the channel God has used to reveal His Holy Word. So it is now. Some say:

"If God will speak to His people, He may do so through one of our leading men." That may be so, but where is the evidence that He cannot call a more humble instrument from the flock of his sheep? Historical facts prove that He seldom reveals himself through great men. Why should He change His method now? Others throw reflections against God's servants because of their external appearance, nativity, or rudiments of speech, etc. My brethren, will you limit the Father and Creator of the human race by your restrictions to a nation, man or country, by your narrow minded and self-conceited wisdom? The heart that conceives such unreasonable theologies through self-esteem, is like the proud pharisee in comparison with the penitent publican. These wise and self-dignified ideologists are the most ignorant ones, for by so doing, they allow the father of self-exaltation to rob them of life, and eternity. While such men are blinded to their own destruction, they are very wise and useful agents for the enemy of souls. For by their usurpation they carry a never ending influence like a "pebble thrown in the lake; a wave is formed, and another and still another, and as they increase, the circle widens, until it reaches the very shore."

What influence would your "words of life" have upon others if you think your dignity so great, and that of theirs so insignificant? Your actions are speaking louder than your words, saying to the poor of the flock: Look on us, and see yourselves as nothing. If a wrong act is committed against one sheep for pouring forth the straight truth, the others would be treated likewise. To such shepherds the following words are spoken:

"Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them." (Ezek. 34:3, 4.)

THE SINS OF THE SLAIN IN THE PROPHECY OF ISAIAH 66 : 16 – 20

When the Court of Justice comes to our turn to be tried, then the three prophecies of prophet Isaiah and of prophet Ezekiel, and of prophet Malachi would all be fulfilled simultaneously. All the three divinely appointed prophets have prophesied of the same things that would befall us the Laodiceans of this time of the end in the near future.

The sins of those slain according to prophet Isaiah 66 : 16 – 24

- To sanctify and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst.
- Eating swine’s flesh and the abominations and the mouse.

The one tree in the midst of the garden is unavoidably to represent the leader or a minister of the gospel. In a dream of king Nebuchadnezzar in the time of the Babylonian Kingdom in the past, God had made him to represent a tree, whereas his people were to represent the grass of the field. Thus it is, that the gardens must unavoidably represent Church buildings, wherein people every Sabbath meet to worship.

Church buildings have frequently been made by the people to sanctify and to purify themselves therein from sin. So the more frequently to attend church services in the buildings, the more they think to have gained purification from sin and sanctification from God. And the ministers of the Churches would have been worshipped by such spiritual blind of the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY as their spiritual father the second only from God in hierarchy of their mind. So they fully believe in the leadership of the ministers that would have accompanied them up to the second advent of Jesus in the future.

Thus it is, that the more frequent people attend Church services in the buildings, the more they will be deemed stronger in the faith. And they will always gain much respect from their fellowmen, and highly honored by their ministers in the Churches. Whereas in fact these are the very staunch enemies against the Call for a spiritual revival and a spiritual Reformation by the servant of the Lord Mrs. White even up to this very day. And they are the main enemies against the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY as the rules of implementation of the Law of the Ten Commandments.

Most of the Laodiceans might possibly think that this prophecy of Isaiah does not apply to them, because never before had they ever swine flesh and the abominations, and even the mouse, become the menu of their meal on the table. But they unwittingly forget that the law of health is inclusive in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, which contains all the Rules of Implementation of the Basic Law of the Ten Commandments, which is changeable. Whereas only the Basic Law is immutable.

Thus let us all understand that ever since 1863 we have been blessed with the new law of Health Reform in the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, to succeed the Old one in the Leviticus chapter 11. In the new law of Health Reform no more classification could be found between the clean animal on the one side and those abominable on the other side. So in the law of Health Reform all kinds of animal have been deemed abominable. And so no more animal meat of any kind could be allowed to be part of our meal on the table.

STUDY THE BIBLE ACCORDING TO THE PROCEDURE IN THE ZECHARIAH PROPHECY CHAPTER 4

In the Zechariah prophecy chapter 4 the Old and the New Testaments have been symbolized by two olive trees standing on the left and on the right side of a candlestick. On the candlestick there is a golden bowl associated with the candlestick under it through several small pipes.

Since this prophecy encounters the fullness of its history at the end of the present age, it is clear that the Bible should have been fully interpreted into the golden bow which represents the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY by the END TIME prophets of Mrs. White and Bro. Victor T. Houteff, as those prophesied in the book of Amos 3 : 7. These two servants of God are symbolized by the two golden pipes. It should be noted, then, that since this prophecy finds its fullness today, the candlesticks should unavoidably represent our Laodicean Church of SDA. And the little pipes that drain the golden oil from the golden bowl on the top of it into the candlestick beneath, it should necessarily symbolize the evangelists, pastors and teachers of the Laodicean Church of the Davidian Seventh-day Adventists, and not from Seventh day Adventist Church, because at this time the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY is no longer taught in the Adventist churches around the world.

ATTENTION: THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY mentioned above is not the Spirit of Prophecy of the third angel's message of Revelation chapter 14, but is intended to the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY of the prophecy of Revelation 19 : 10, which is the combination of the third angel's message of Revelation 14 of Mrs. White and the angelic message of Revelation 18: 1 of Brother Houteff, that is to enlighten the whole earth until the end of time of probation in the year 2031. Thus is spoken by Mrs. White in her book Early Writings, p. 277

JESUS EXAMPLE IN TEACHING

We shall read from "Christ's Object Lessons," paragraph one, page 21:

"Again, Christ had truths to present which the people were unprepared to accept, or even to understand. For this reason also He taught them in parables. By connecting His teaching with the scenes of life, experience, or nature, He secured their attention and impressed their hearts. Afterward, as they looked upon the objects that illustrated His lessons, they recalled the words of the divine Teacher. To minds that were open to the Holy Spirit, the significance of the Saviour's teaching unfolded more and more. Mysteries grew clear, and that which had been hard to grasp became evident. Jesus sought an avenue to every heart. By using a variety of illustrations, He not only presented truth in its different phases, but appealed to the different hearers.... None who listened to the Saviour could feel that they were neglected or forgotten. The humblest, the most sinful, heard in His teaching a voice that spoke to them in sympathy and tenderness."

As the people in Jesus' time were as the people of today, not anxious to learn new Truth, He used Nature to arrest their attention. The prophets were led to use the same method. We, therefore, need to pray for a burning desire to know God's Truth for today. We need to pray that we do not become self-confident, and satisfied with our attainments in the Word of God; that we lay aside all prejudices and be willing to learn from the "humblest of the humble."

Happy Sabbath All,

THE STONE KINGDOM FROM DANIEL 2:44

This quarter the Sabbath School will focus on DANIEL and 2 last lesson, the lesson was about Stone from DANIEL 2. It has been well known for SDA that the stone here is referring to Jesus Kingdom.

if you go back to the lesson, the words chosen by the author did not provide the certainty that the interpretation we believe now is firm.

Do not forget all prophecies came from one and the same source hence the interpretation of Daniel and any other part od the prophecies in the Bible shall be in harmony.

Following is, WHO is the Stone Part 1

[ 1 ] The stone was cut out of the mountain without hands

In his prophetic words Daniel said, “that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.” And also, “that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold ….,” To more clarify the statements, Daniel further said:

“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter : and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.” – Daniel 2 : 44, 45.

“Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them : and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. “ – Daniel 2 : 35.

Read carefully the statements of Daniel, and you will be sure that the stone did not fall right from heaven, as many suppose, but was cut out of the mountain. The stone smote the image upon his feet, and the toes, which represent the present day kingdoms in the time of the end. And since the stone itself represent an everlasting kingdom in the future, that would have smitten the image upon his feet and toes that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces, then the stone must inevitably represent the coming kingdom of heaven of the 144.000 saints of God.

The stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, meaning that the emergence of the coming kingdom of heaven of the 144.000 saints of God, out from within the mother Church of Seventh-Day Advent, is not of the will of men. Thus is the stone kingdom of heaven of the 144.000, that will emerge from within the ten virgins kingdom of heaven of the Laodicean Church in the time of the end. “Mountain “in the prophecy means the city of truth, or Jerusalem, which is the holy mountain of the Lord. Read Zechariah 8 : 3.

[ 2 ] The stone kingdom is to stand here on the earth

We must first keep in mind, that with the emergence of the stone kingdom of heaven in the future, the present ten virgins kingdom would no more exist. The Laodicean Church would have been purified, and she would then go out with a new name. And that is the stone kingdom of heaven of the 144.000 saints of the Lord. In his prophetic words in regard to those of the coming stone kingdom, prophet Isaiah said:

“And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.” – Isaiah 62 : 2, 3.

Now you can see that the stone kingdom of heaven of the 144.000 saints of God would be established on earth, prior to the second coming of Jesus. The coming stone kingdom will not descend from heaven, as many suppose, because its 144.000 inmates are to be gathered from all over the world. Whereas at the second coming of Jesus, He would be accompanied by thousands of ten thousands of His angels, whose brightness would have killed all the Gentiles and their kings on the earth. And at the second coming, Jesus would not descend to stand on the earth, but only to receive His people coming from the earth. Please read carefully 1 Thessalonians 4 : 16, 17.

Therefore the objective of the establishment of the stone kingdom of heaven on earth is that it could have accomplished the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom unto the entire world in the shortest possible period. This is the reason why, as soon as the 144.000 saints have been established and ordained on the mount Zion, the Lord Jesus would have poured upon them His Holy Spirit. Then comes the period of the second Pentecost to meet the fulfillment of the following prophecy of Joel:

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions : And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.” – Joel 2 : 28, 29.

It shall come to pass afterward! After what? Let us read the afore-verses of Joel 2 here below,

“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. ……. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God that hath dealt wondrously with you and my people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.” – Joel 2 : 23, 26, 27.

As we are now in the time of the end, then the All Truth and the Things to come promised by the Lord in John 16 : 13 would have been here provided us in THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. The Former Rain and the Latter Rain prophesied by Joel would have been the same things, because they will be the messages to prepare the people for the coming kingdom, as well as for the coming Holy Spirit of the second Pentecost. Therefore the Former Rain is the Spirit of Prophecy of the third’s angel message of Revelation 14, and the Latter Rain is the Shepherd’s Rod of the message of the angel of Revelation 18 : 1. Both messages are now provided in THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Then in regard to where the Holy Spirit is to be poured out, Sister E.G. White said:

“We need a thorough reformation in all our churches. The converting power of God must come into the Church. Seek the Lord most earnestly, put away your sins, and t a r r y i n J e r u s a l e m till ye be endowed with power from on high. Let God set you apart to the work. Purify your souls by obeying the truth. Faith without works is dead.” – Testimonies to Ministers, p. 443.

The people of God have to tarry in Jerusalem Palestine, to be endowed with the power from on high, which is the Holy Spirit of the latter rain. The pouring out of the Holy Spirit and the great event of the second Pentecost are to take place first in Jerusalem, Palestine.
