What Constitutes The Remnant?

The definition of “Remnant” is: That which is left after the Separation, Removal, or Destruction of a part. (Standard Dictionary). The beginning of the Church of CHRIST in the days of the Apostles was not a large “Bolt” just starting to unroll, getting smaller and smaller down through the ages, and now, being at the End of the History of the Church be the Smallest Portion(DSDA), or that which is Left. But, on the contrary, the Church just began then to roll on, and had but a Very Small Beginning. It has been rolling and rolling, and putting on all through the ages, and the very end of the History of the Church is by no means a Remnant. “Remnant” signifies a Very Small Portion, a fragment, or a small bit. The Master said the harvest is at the end of the world; the angels are the reapers. Then there is reaping to be done. “Harvest” means a Collection of Crops; to Gather, Store up, or Garner in. According to this the Harvest is by no means a Remnant, but just the opposite, for at Harvest we Gather in the Most. {SR1: 102.1}

The Remnant of Israel(DSDA) must be something else than what we have thought it to be for “Remnant” is a Small Portion, or part which is Left after a Destruction. The Destruction is the Mighty Shaking, sifting time which is the Separation of the Two Classes in the Church (the sealing of the 144,000 DSDA) as Prophesied in Ezekiel 9(SDA), and Isaiah 63. Those who escape are the “Remnant.” The Bible gives no other definition of “Remnant” than the One given here. See Leviticus. 5:13; 2 Kings 19:4; Isaiah 37:4; Ezra 9:8; Isaiah 1:9; Isaiah 11:11; Isaiah 16:14; Jeremiah 44:28; Ezekiel 6:8; Joel 2:32; Roms. 11:5; Revelation 11:13. {SR1: 102.2}

In the Eleventh chapter of Isaiah, is recorded the same incident we have tried to explain here. In the Eleventh verse we read of the Remnant which we speak of(144.000 DSDA): “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall set HIS Hand again the Second Time to recover the Remnant of HIS people, which shall be left.” Isaiah 11:11. Early Writings, page 270: “I asked the meaning of the shaking I had seen, and was shown that it would be caused by the straight testimony called forth by the counsel of the True Witness(JESUS) to the Laodiceans(SDA now). This will have its effect upon the heart of the receiver and will lead him to exalt the standard and pour forth the straight Truth. Some will not bear this straight testimony. They(SDA now) will rise up against it(DSDA), and this is what will cause a shaking among GOD’s people(In the Adventist Church).” {SR1: 103.1}

Isaaiah 11:12, first part: “And he shall set up an ensign for the nations.” Again we read in Isa. 66:19, “And I will set a sign among them(144.000), and I will send those that escape of them unto the Nations (The Christians who came out of Babylon were innumerable).” The 63rd chapter has the same reference as Isaiah 59, part of verse 19, is here quoted: “So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west and HIS Glory from the Rising of the Sun.” The “Sign” is extensive from the east to the west, and has a meaning for the entire world. The “Destruction”(SDA) is the “Sign” and example to the nations, and the “Remnant” are those who are left (the 144,000 DSDA). Following this we have the “Loud Cry” (the Harvest): “Those who come up to every point, and stand every test, and overcome, be the price what it may have heeded the counsel of the True Witness(JESUS), and they will receive the Latter Rain, and thus be fitted for Translation.” Volume 1, page 187. “But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the Harvest: And in the time of Harvest I will say to the Reapers, Gather ye together first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them: But gather the wheat into MY barn.” Matt. 13:29, 30. {SR1: 103.2}

The same thought is also supported in Patriarchs and Prophets, page 541: “The feast of Tabernacles was not only Commemorative, but Typical. It not only pointed back to the wilderness sojourn, but, as the feast of Harvest, it celebrated the ingathering of the fruits of the Earth, and pointed forward to the great day of final Ingathering, when the LORD of the Harvest shall send forth HIS Reapers to gather the tares together in bundles for the Fire, and to gather the Wheat into HIS Garner. At that time the wicked will all be destroyed.” (Those outside the church.) {SR1: 103.4}

Note that the Separation takes place just at the Beginning of Harvest(In the Adventist Church between SDA & DSDA before World War 3 between U.S.A. Europe & Russia Arab Asia. Rev.7:1-3); also that the tares are gathered in First. The separation Marks the beginning of Harvest. The Harvest is the loud cry of the Third Angel’s Message(E.G. White & V.T. Houteff). (Rev. 18:1). In this time of Harvest the Great Multitude (of Rev. 7:9) with the Palms in their hands is gathered(After the 3^rd waar). While this great multitude is being made up and gathered into His Barn, the reapers are binding the wicked in bundles (separated(DSDA), or kept apart from the Church(SDA) for the wrath of GOD.
