The 144,000 of Revelation 7 — Call For Reformation
By V.T. Houteff; February 7, 2018 on Wednesday;

Though he had been forced out of the SDA Church, Houteff had no intention of leaving it. Since the Church leadership had rejected his Message(4rd Angel’s Message Rev.18:1), he took it to the people with great success. In 1934, his evangelistic endeavors began to bear fruit. Several thousand Adventists accepted Houteff's doctrine of the Shepherd's Rod. His Message(4rd Angel’s Message Rev.18:1) began to have a considerable impact on the Adventist Church, which, at that time, counted less than 250,000 members worldwide. In 1934, Houteff formed the Universal Publishing Association. While he had no intention of forming his own church, he did wish to use every medium within his power(as the Lord’s Prophet) to spread his Message(4rd Angel’s Message Rev.18:1) within the SDA Church. He viewed the Adventist Church as backsliding from the beliefs upon which it had been founded a hundred years before, and saw his Message(4rd Angel’s Message Rev.18:1) as a method of solving the many doctrinal disagreements which had arisen as the Church expanded in the 1900s after Ellen G. White's death. The first chapter of Houteff's book, The Shepherd's Rod, dealt with the Biblical 144,000 of Revelation, Chapter 7.

Houteff's teachings are inclusive of a Message(4rd Angel’s Message Rev.18:1)  intended directly to the Seventh-day Adventist members, in which GOD will have a Judgment upon HIS people (Ezekiel 9) and have a Purification in HIS church, resulting in the 144,000 surviving. This belief of a small number of SDA eventually surviving the Judgment of GOD was not unique to Houteff. Ellen White had made Similar Statements. These Survivors of the Judgment are to Finalize GOD's closing work in Earth's history, and consequently converting the remaining non-Seventh-day Adventists throughout the world ("the remnant") to Commandment keeping and Sabbath adherence, making up The Great Multitude of Revelation 7:9.This message is known as the Loud Cry message.

Though the Adventist Church has had no official stand on the 144,000 and its sister group of "those with", or The Great Multitude of Revelation 7:9, it Rejected Houteff's teaching that the 144,000 believers of Revelation 7 and 14 were Adventists, and that The Great Multitude was made up of non-Adventist Christians. Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks E.G.White the 3^rd massage of 3^rd Angel Rev.14:9 & V.T.Houteff the 4^th massage of 4^th Angel Rev.18:1 !
