The 144,000 of Revelation 7 — Call For Reformation

Again, “They sing a new song”….which no man can learn save the 144,000….for it is the song of their experience,–an experience such as no other company have ever had.” How can it be possible for all to sing the same song if it is a song of their experience except they all have the same experience? Those who had been in the grave would have the experience of death, grave, resurrection, and receiving a new body. But those who never died have seen the fulfillment of Ezekiel 9; Isaiah 63; Isaiah 60; the closing of the Third Angel’s Message, (the loud cry, close of probation), all of the Seven Last Plagues, and they sing this song (of their experience and deliverance) “which no man can learn save the 144,000.” {SR1: 24.2}



Will Sister White Be With The 144,000?

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(E.G.White) 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(E.G.White), with the 144,000, meaning she is “One with them but not One of 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. {SR1: 24.3}

Only 144,000 Enter the Temple “And as we were about to enter the Holy Temple, JESUS raised His lovely voice and said, ‘Only the 144,000 enter this place’, and we shouted, ‘Alleluia.’ This Temple was supported by seven pillars all of transparent gold, set with pearls most glorious. The wonderful things I there saw, I cannot describe….I saw there tables of stone in which the names of the 144,000 were engraved in letters of gold. After we beheld the Glory of the Temple, we went out.” Early Writings, page 19. It is clear that no others were to enter the Holy Temple except the 144,000, and again it is clear that she went in, for she says, “The wonderful things I there saw, I cannot describe,” and “after we beheld the Glory of the Temple, we went out.” She could not see the things inside the Temple unless she had gone in, and she could not have come out if she had never entered in. {SR1: 25.1}

Some may think that Sister White is one of the 144,000 because she entered this temple, and now that she is dead that part of the 144,000 will be resurrected. There is no cause for confusion here. She could have entered the temple before, or after, or she could have gone right along with them, and still it would not change the thought. We must remember this is only a vision and not the real 144,000. They were not made up at that time, neither was she bodily there. This vision was given for her to make a report and reveal a certain Truth. In other words, she was a Reporter. What kind of a report could have been given if she had not entered the Temple? The Command, “only the 144,000 enter here, had no reference to her whether she should stay out or enter. “She is one with them, but not one of them”. {SR1: 25.2} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks E.G.White the 3rd massage of 3rd Angel Rev.14:9 & V.T.Houteff the 4th massage of 4th Angel Rev.18:1 !

“Meaning Of Seven Years Of Plenty And 7 Years Of Famine Found Only One Way”

Do The 144,000 Ever Die?

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 number.” 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 JESUSComing, 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 Died in Faith under the Third Angel’s Message, keeping the Sabbath, came Forth….And as GOD spoke the DAY and the HOUR of JESUSComing, and Delivered the Everlasting Covenant to HIS people.” {SR1: 22.3}

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: “Great Hailstones, every one ‘about the weight of a talent,’ 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.” All who have Died in the Faith of the Third(E.G.White) Angel’s Message come 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 7 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 7 Plague, so that they Hear the Announcement of the DAY and the HOUR of JESUSComing. {SR1: 23.1}

If evidence can be brought to view that the 144,000 (in number) lived before the Seventh Plague, then we have positive proof that the 144,000 never Died. Great Controversy, page 649: “And they Sing ‘a New Song’ before the Throne, a song which no man can Learn Save the 144,000. It is the Song of Moses and the Lamb,–a Song of Deliverance. None but the 144,000 can learn that song; for it is the song of their experience,–an experience such as no other Company have ever had….They have seen the Earth Wasted with Famine and Pestilence, the sun having power to scorch men with great heat, and they themselves have endured suffering, hunger, and thirst.” Here is a positive statement that the 144,000 lived in the time of the Fourth Plague, the sun having power to scorch men with great heat. “And the Fourth Angel(V.T.Houteff) poured out his vial upon the sun; and Power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.” Rev. 16:8. This is the Fourth Plague. How could they (144,000) go through the Fourth Plague if the special Resurrection of the Sabbath Keepers (those who Died under the Third Angel’s Message) did not take place until about the End of the 7 Plague? If “they have seen the Earth Wasted with Famine and Pestilence and they themselves have suffered Hunger and Thirst”, they must have lived through all the plagues. {SR1: 24.1} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks E.G.White the 3rd massage of 3rd Angel Rev.14:9 & V.T.Houteff the 4th massage of 4th Angel Rev.18:1 !

The 144,000 of Revelation 7 — Call For Reformation
By V.T. Houteff; January 29, 2018 on Monday;

“Meaning Of Seven Years Of Plenty And 7 Years Of Famine Found Only One Way”

Of the Three Angels of Rev. 14:6-11, John writes: “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven,…and the third angel followed them.” These Angels, following each other, were seen flying in the Midst of Heaven where the sun would be at Mid-day, in its full strength. There is a difference between these Angels and the Ones in Revelation 7 and 18:1. These Angels are neither “Ascending” nor “Come,” but continue to “Fly in the Midst of Heaven.” The meaning is that these Angels’ Messages are not as Powerful as the One(V.T.Houteff) of Rev. 18:1, for John says he saw the AngelCome,” that is, Stand upon the Earth. The Angel(V.T.Houteff) mentioned here is Near By, but the Other Three Angels are at a Distance. This Symbol shows that they could not be as Powerful as the One(V.T.Houteff) that is close by, but these Three Angels are Flying and continue to Fly. The meaning is that while they are not as Powerful, they continue a long time until this other Angel(V.T.Houteff) of Rev. 18:1 Joins in with Them, as it has been with the First(William Miller), Second(William Miller), and Third(E.G.White) Angel’s messages until now. {SR1: 21.2}

We go back to the Angel of Revelation 7, the one in which we are most interested at the present time. This Particular Angel(V.T.Houteff) is Ascending from the East. “Ascending” here could not mean departing or flying away, but simply Coming, or Advancing. For example, in the morning while the Sun is Rising or Ascending, the temperature gains in Heat as it nears Mid-Day, just so with this Angel(V.T.Houteff) that is to Seal the 144,000. The Angel was seen >Coming, but he is taking time. The sealing cannot begin until after he(V.T.Houteff) arrives, for the seal of the Living GOD is in his possession. If we can Locate the Time when he(V.T.Houteff) arrives we may know the beginning of the sealing time of the 144,000. Did we know the time when the first second, and third angel’s messages began? Our answer is: Yes. (October 22, 1844 on Tuesday Night!!!!) {SR1: 22.1}

There is no reason for not knowing the definite time when this Angel of Revelation 7 Arrives. If we did not know the time, we would have no message, and if Satan can Deceive us from Present Truth, he has won with his deceptive powers. John’s Prophecy in Revelation 7, of this ascending Angel was only a vision of something to Come, and the fulfillment of this prophecy was realized when Sister White was given her first vision in 1844, which was a vision of the 144,000. Read Early Writings, pages 13-20. John Prophesied of this Movement and the scene of the Angel Ascending in the East (John’s vision) became a reality in 1844, but the Angel is in the East(V.T.Houteff), and we must await his arrival, for when he Arrives, the Sealing Begins. {SR1: 22.2} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks E.G.White the 3rd massage of 3rd Angel Rev.14:9 & V.T.Houteff the 4th massage of 4th Angel Rev.18:1 !

Who Are The 144,000?

The subject is, Who are the 144,000?” First mention of this number in the Bible is in Rev. 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(Spiritual Israel SDA, following the 4 Angels' Message).” Rev. 7:2. “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(I & II William Miller; III E.G.White & IV V.T.Houteff) to whom it was given to hurt the Earth and the Sea.” Note that this Angel is Ascending and not Descending. In contrast to this, Rev. 18:1 says, “And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory(IV V.T.Houteff).” This Mighty Angel is not ascending, but descending. nor coming, but “Come Down.” If the Angel made the trip from Heaven to Earth in less than 15 minutes(10 years 6 months for human travel to Heaven, for GOD in 15 minutes can send His Angels down to Earth to deliver answers of Prayer) in answer to prayer (Dan. 9:4-23), while it takes light millions of years to travel part of the distance, we can easily understand why the expression “but come” is used, meaning suddenly appearing without warning. This Angel is the Loud Cry Angel, an Addition to the Third Angel and the Message of the Fall of Babylon as given by the Second Angel is Repeated(William Miller), as foretold in the 18th chapter of Revelation. The people of GOD are thus prepared to stand in the hour of temptation, which they are soon to meet. {SR1: 20.1}

Early Writings, page 277: “Then I saw another Mighty Angel(V.T.Houteff) Commissioned to Descend to the Earth, to unite his(V.T.Houteff) voice with the Third Angel(E.G.White), and give Power and Force to his(V.T.Houteff) Message. Great Power and Glory were imparted to the Angel, and as he descended, the Earth was Lightened with his(V.T.Houteff) Glory. The Light which attended this Angel(V.T.Houteff) penetrated everywhere, as he(V.T.Houteff) Cried Mightily, with a Strong Voice, ‘Babylon(outside the Sabbath) is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.’ The message of the fall of Babylon, as given by the Second Angel(William Miller 1844), is repeated, with the additional mention of the corruptions which have been entering the churches since 1844. The work of this Angel(V.T.Houteff), comes in at the Right Time to Join in the Last Great Work of the Third Angel’s(E.G.White) Message, as it swells to a Loud Cry. And the people of GOD are thus prepared to stand in the hour of Temptation, which they are soon to meet. I saw a Great Light resting upon them, and they united to Fearlessly Proclaim the 4th Angel’s(V.T.Houteff) Message…This message seemed to be an addition to the Third Message(E.G.White), joining it as the Midnight Cry joined the Second Angel’s(William Miller) Message in 1844.” {SR1: 21.1} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks E.G.White the 3rd massage of 3rd Angel Rev.14:9 & V.T.Houteff the 4th massage of 4th Angel Rev.18:1 !

“Meaning Of Seven Years Of Plenty And 7 Years Of Famine Found Only One Way”

Seven Years Of Plenty, And Seven Years Of Famine

The 7 years of Plenty and 7 years of Famine in the days of Joseph in ancient Egypt represent the world’s history in Two Sections of time as previously explained; namely B.C. and A.D. Each one of these sections bears the Biblical number SEVEN” (Meaning Complete). The 7 years of Plenty is B.C. Though one may doubt the application made here, the lesson we receive from it is TRUE. In the Old Testament Time, GOD gave Plenty through His prophets, and CHRIST (Joseph) stored it in the Storehouse (Bible), but as we have no record that there was any of the corn left when the 7 years of Famine had passed, neither was there any shortage. Therefore it is plain, that all the Scriptures are to be Understood (Used Up) before the Second Coming of CHRIST. {SR1: 19.2}

Pharaoh’s dream recorded in Gen. 41:17-20, reads as follows: “In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: And, behold, there came up out of the river 7 Kine, Fat-Fleshed and well favored; and they fed in a Meadow: And, behold, 7 Other Kine came up after them, Poor and very ill favored and lean-fleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: And the lean and the ill favored kine did eat up the first seven fat kine.” Note that the 7 Lean and ill favored kine did Eat the Fat-Fleshed Kine. By reading Gen. 41:21, we find the 7 Lean Kine did not put on flesh after consuming the 7 Fat Kine, which indicates that there will be No Scriptures in Reserve, but that all will be brought to Ligth. The thought is that the 7 years (A.D.) will consume all the CORN (Word) in the 7 years (B.C.) as represented also by the Ears of CORN in Gen. 41:22-24. Is this not clear that all the writings in the Old Testament will be Fulfilled and Understood before the END of A.D. (the Second Coming of CHRIST)? But is it not True that the Biggest part or portion is not yet Understood? How can one say that he has all the Truth and does not and cannot explain a Large Portion of the Bible? Shall we Pray to GOD to open our eyes that we may See and Arise from this Laodicean Lethargy into which we have Fallen? {SR1: 19.3} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks E.G.White the 3rd massage of 3rd Angel Rev.14:9 & V.T.Houteff the 4th massage of 4th Angel Rev.18:1 !

We read the following in Volume 2, page 606: “I am authorized from God to tell you that not another ray of light through the Testimonies will shine upon your pathway, until you make a practical use of the light already given.” But now we must have corn or else we shall die. As a people we have much boasted that we have all the truth, but such a statement can not be found between the pages of the Spirit of Prophecy. “Not another ray of light will shine upon your pathway until you make a practical use of the light already given.” These words suggest that there is more light to shine, and light is truth. Again, quoting from Testimonies to Ministers, page 107: “No one should claim that he has all the light there is for God’s people. The Lord will not tolerate this. He has said, ‘I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it.’ Even if all our leading men should refuse light and truth, that door will still remain open. The Lord will raise up men who will give the people the message for this time.” {SR1: 19.1} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks E.G.White the 3rd massage of 3rd Angel Rev.14:9 & V.T.Houteff the 4th massage of 4th Angel Rev.18:1 !

The symbol can represent only one thing, and that is the world’s history in two great divisions of time; namely B.C. and A.D. with the cross (Christ), the dividing line. “For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.” It is for this reason Jesus made the statement for we have no other thus far. The years of plenty is B.C. in which time God gave plenty to supply the world’s need for the years of famine (New Testament time, A.D.). As Joseph gathered the corn into storehouses by his servants,–the Egyptians, just so Christ gathered the Word of God (spiritual food) in the Bible (the storehouse) by His servants, the prophets. “God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds.” Heb. 1:1, 2. Had it not been for this purpose then we ask, what could it have been for? God who was responsible for the event did it not to bring hardships to His subjects, or to starve the world, as the famine was not in Egypt only, for we read, “And the famine was over all the face of the earth.” Gen. 41:56. Had this not been the symbol, why would God have brought the famine over all the earth? Some people may have difficulty in being convinced, and others can never be convinced, but the harmony of the lesson can hardly be questioned. {SR1: 17.4}

If the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine are not a type of the world’s history; Joseph’s immense storehouses not a type of the Bible; the corn gathered in the seven years of plenty not a type of the Word in the Bible; the feeding of the world not a type of the New Testament time consuming the Scriptures gathered in the Old Testament time; then we ask, Where are the types for all these events? Has not God given the gospel in types as well as in prophecy? “Christ was the foundation of the Jewish economy. The whole system of types and symbols was compacted prophecy of the gospel, a presentation in which were bound up the promises of redemption.” Acts of the Apostles, page 14. If the seven years of plenty and the seven years of famine did not represent the world’s history, the coincidents as well shall endeavor to bring forth could hardly have been possible by an accident. Jesus said, “Gather up the crumbs that there be no waste.” It was His Word that multiplied the loaves and fishes; these crumbs represent the very words He spoke. {SR1: 18.1} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks E.G.White the 3rd massage of 3rd Angel Revelation 14:9 & V.T.Houteff the 4th massage of 4th Angel Revelation 18:1 !
