The 144,000 of Revelation 7 — Call For Reformation
By V.T. Houteff; February 10, 2018 on SABBATH;

Will This Sealing Continue To The Close Of Probation?

The sealing of the 144,000 can not extend to the close of probation, for they must be sealed long before that time, and it must close before the Loud Cry of the Third Angels’ Message(E.G.White). Early Writings, page 277 says: “I saw Angels hurrying to and fro in Heaven, descending to the earth, and again ascending to heaven, preparing for the fulfillment of some important event. Then I saw another Mighty Angel(V.T. Houteff) commissioned to descend to the earth, to unite his voice with the Third Angel(E.G.White), and give power and force to his message. Great power and glory were imparted to the Angel(V.T. Houteff), and as he descended, the earth was lightened with his glory….This Message(4^th) seemed to be an addition to the Third Message(E.G. White).” It seems in the expression, “the Angels(William Miller & E.G. White) hurrying to and fro,” the author has reference to the fulfillment of Ezekiel 9; and then Follows the Mighty Angel(V.T. Houteff) of the Loud Cry of Rev. 18:1. {SR1: 35.1}

Ezekiel 9, can not meet its fulfillment at the time CHRIST comes in the clouds, for the slaughter is in the Church(SDA now). The Church of CHRIST must be pure and clean, free from every stain long before JESUS comes. If we are not in this pure condition, we can not hope to stand in the time of trouble, nor can we escape the effects of the plagues. The church could not stand without an intercessor after probation nor before, if there is one unclean thing in the camp of Israel. “For thus saith the LORD GOD of Israel, there is an accursed thing in the Midst of thee, O Israel: Thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.” Joshua 7:13. {SR1: 36.1}

As an illustration and comparison of the faithfulness and unity of the people at the time of trouble during the plagues, we quote Early Writings, pages 282-3: I saw the Saints leaving the cities and villages, and associating together in companies, and living in the most solitary places. Angels provided them food and water, while the wicked were suffering from hunger and thirst. Then I saw the leading men of the earth consulting together, and Satan and his angels busy around them. I saw a writing, copies of which were scattered in different parts of the land, giving orders that unless the saints should yield their peculiar faith, give up the Sabbath, and observe the first day of the week, the people were at liberty after a certain time, to put them to death….but Angels in the form of men of war fought for them. Satan wished to have the privilege of destroying the Saints of the Most High; but JESUS bade HIS Angels watch over them….Next came the multitude of the angry wicked, and next a mass of evil angels, hurrying on the wicked to slay the Saints. But before they could approach GOD’s people, the wicked must first pass this Company of Mighty(William Miller, E.G. White, V.T. Houteff), Holy Angels. This was impossible. The Angels of GOD were causing them to Recede, and also causing the evil angels who were pressing around them to Fall Back.” It is evident here that GOD’s people are apart by themselves, with no wicked ones among them. Holy Angels would not protect unholy people from the wicked multitude. Here we see GOD’s people separated from all wickedness. Therefore this shows they are in Perfect Unity at the time they leave the Villages. {SR1: 36.2}

When then was this purification of the Church? Ezekiel 8, tells us of the abominations done in the Midst of Jerusalem (Church SDA now); Ezekiel 9, reveals the consequences to those who do not Sigh and Cry for all the Abominations. “One sinner may diffuse darkness that will exclude the Light of GOD from the entire congregation.” Volume 3, page 265. {SR1: 37.1} 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 !
