The 144,000 of Revelation 7 — Call For Reformation
By V.T. Houteff; January 22, 2018 on Monday;

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

When the perplexing subject is made clear, then we must believe that the time is here, but this as all Bible Truth, is found only in “One Way”, and in “One Place”; namely, the “Storehouse” (the Bible). Bear in mind that as Joseph of ancient days controlled the “Storehouse”, even so CHRIST controls the Scriptures and the Times. Many godly men in the past went to CHRIST (Joseph) and got all the present Truth (Corn) for that particular time that they could assimilate. While HE (CHRIST) is Liberal, HE is also Careful, and therefore has nothing to Waste. When Joseph gathered the Corn in Egypt and stored it in the “Storehouses”, he did it not for Wealth, but to sustain life in the next Seven Years of Famine. The “Corn was a Symbol of CHRIST’s Word” as we shall endeavor to prove. {SR1: 15.2}

Reasons for believing that the “Seven Years of Plenty and the Seven Years of Famine” in the days of Joseph in ancient Egypt represent the World’s History in “Two Sections of Time” are as follows: {SR1: 15.3}

In Volume 3, page 369, we read, “Isaac was a Figure of the SON of GOD, who was Offered a Sacrifice for the sins of the World.” Again we read in Desire of Ages, page 112, “And in the Ram(male sheep) divinely provided in the place of Isaac, Abraham saw a symbol of Him who was to Die for the Sins of Men.” Thus Isaac and the Ram are Symbols of CHRIST’s Submission, Death, and Sacrifice. {SR1: 15.4}

Of Jonah, we read in Desire of Ages, page 406, “As Jonah was Three Days and Three Nights in the Belly of the Whale, CHRIST was to be the same time ‘in the Heart of the Earth.’ And as the Preaching of Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so CHRIST’s Preaching was a sign to HIS Generation.” See also Prophets and Kings, page 274. {SR1: 16.1} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks E.G.White the 3^rd massage of 3^rd Angel Revelation 14:9 & V.T.Houteff the 4^th massage of 4^th Angel Revelation 18:1 !

The 144,000 of Revelation 7 — Call For Reformation
By V.T. Houteff; January 21, 2018 on Sunday;

Matters Not, So Long As One Does Right?

It has been said by some that it matters not whether one understands the subject of the 144,000 or not, so long as he does right. This is certainly true if we DO RIGHT, but how do we know whether we do right or not, except we understand Bible doctrines? How can we know whether we keep the right Sabbath, or belong to the right church, unless we understand that doctrine? Why is it important to understand Daniel 7, the beast and his image, and many other Bible prophecies? If we do not understand the subject of the 144,000, we may not be sealed, for it would be worthless to understand it after the sealing, just as it would be of no value to understand the beast and his image after HIS Work on earth is finished. {SR1: 14.3}

The Angel’s message of Revelation 7–the Angel ascending from the east–is as important as the First, Second, and Third Angel’s messages of Revevelation 14:6-11. It must be understood and given to the people at the right time, as also the Mighty Angel of Revelation 18:1. The loud cry must come at a given time. This Angel of Revelation 7, can not be the Third Angel, for John’s explanation of them differ. The Three angels of Revelation 14 are flying in the Midst of Heaven, or where the Sun stands at Noon, but the One of Revelation 7, is ascending from the EAST, or the Rising of the Sun. The message of this Angel has never been understood at any time, nor proclaimed by this denomination or any other people, and only theories have been advanced. It is evident that this Truth, as other Truths, Must Come At The Right Time. {SR1: 15.1}

The 144,000 of Revelation 7 — Call For Reformation
By V.T. Houteff; January 20, 2018 on Sabbath;

The One Hundred and Forty-Four Thousand (144.000) !

This subject of Revelation 7 is doubtless the most frequently discussed Bible subject by Seventh-day Adventists and other Bible students, than any other Biblical truth. Many theories have been advanced by the denomination, but not one has stood the test without contradiction. Great men of both Biblical and secular knowledge have diligently searched the Bible and have proved nothing as to who this company is. {SR1: 13.1}

We read in Great Controversy, page 397: “The spirit of error will lead us from the truth, and the Spirit of God will lead us into truth. But, say you, a man may be in an error, and think he has the truth. What then? We answer, The Spirit and word agree. If a man judges himself by the word of God, and finds a perfect harmony through the whole word, then he must believe he has the truth; but if he finds the spirit by which he is led does not harmonize with the whole tenor of God’s law or book, then let him walk carefully, lest he be caught in the snare of the devil.” {SR1: 13.2}

Sister E.G. White was doubtless far more acquainted with this subject than any one living at this time, for she wrote much about them and had visions of them. There is no doubt that she, too, spent much time in searching both from the Bible and her own writings, but she has failed to point out the exact company by assembling the references together, and clear the mystery. The question is: Why have all these godly people who earnestly searched for the truth failed to produce any evidence as to who this wonderful company really is? The answer we give is: Because it was not present truth in their time. {SR1: 13.3}

Sister White could have given a theory of some kind far more fitting and correct than any other theory ever advanced. She used wisdom and good judgment in leaving out her own opinion. God will make these things known at the appointed time only. Man may be made to believe a thing for a while, but except it be truth, it cannot last. Thus it would be unwise and a waste of time for one to try to tell who the 144,000 are, until the scroll has made a turn and one truth reveals another. If this study would unmask the mystery and harmonize with the Scriptures and the Spirit of Prophecy, then we must conclude that God’s appointed time for this subject has come. {SR1: 13.4}

Sister White had received inspiration on this subject, but, like Daniel, was not permitted to know who, how, and when made, until Gods appointed time. The following is a quotation made by her to Elder E.E. Andross: “I feel confident, Elder Andross, that the brethren in Southern California will find blessing in reviewing the teachings of Scripture concerning the 144,000 and bringing to bear upon these teachings whatever of light there may be in the published writings of the Spirit of Prophecy, and as prayerful consideration is given the matter in all its bearings, I believe that God will make the truth sufficiently clear to make possible the avoidance of needless and unprofitable questions not vital to the salvation of precious souls.” {SR1: 14.1}

Some day this subject must be understood, for Inspiration makes no useless statements, and it cannot be in the Bible for a trinket. It must be understood before the number (144,000) is made or it would be of no value. When understood, it will guide the feet of the 144,000 in the straight path just as the first, second, and third angel’s messages have led thousands of souls to Christ. {SR1: 14.2} 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 !

Prophecies Fulfilled

The "KA'ABAH(Sanctuary) IN HEAVEN". FROM OKTOBER 22, 1844, THE LORD JESUS FROM THE HOLY KA'BAH MOVED TO THE MOST HOLY KA'BAH. TO EXAMINE THE COURTS OF THOSE WHO DIED BEFORE OKTOBER 22, 1844. TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE RAISED TO HEAVEN & WHO WILL RECEIVE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. THE VERSE IS IN Revelation 14:13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me(John), Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth(Until Oct. 22, 1844 & Sabbath Arise/Started): Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Sunday-8-1-2018; S70: When the time passed at which the LORD's coming was first expected,--in the spring of October 22, 1844,--those who had looked in faith for His appearing were for a season involved in doubt and uncertainty. While the world regarded them as having been utterly defeated and proved to have been cherishing a delusion, their source of consolation was still the word of GOD. Many continued to search the Scriptures, examining anew the evidences of their faith and carefully studying the prophecies to obtain further light. The Bible testimony in support of their position seemed clear and conclusive. Signs which could not be mistaken pointed to the coming of CHRIST as near. The special blessing of the LORD, both in the conversion of sinners and the revival of spiritual life among Christians, had testified that the message was of Heaven. And though the believers could not explain their disappointment(REv.10:10And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.), they felt assured that GOD had led them in their past experience.

Interwoven with prophecies which they had regarded as applying to the time of the second advent was instruction specially adapted to their state of uncertainty and suspense, and encouraging them to wait patiently in the faith that what was now dark to their understanding would in due time be made plain.

The "KA'ABAH(Sanctuary) IN HEAVEN". FROM OKTOBER 22, 1844, THE LORD JESUS FROM THE HOLY KA'BAH MOVED TO THE MOST HOLY KA'BAH. TO EXAMINE THE COURTS OF THOSE WHO DIED BEFORE OKTOBER 22, 1844. TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE RAISED TO HEAVEN & WHO WILL RECEIVE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. THE VERSE IS IN Revelation 14:13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me(John), Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth(Until Oct. 22, 1844 & Sabbath Arise/Started): Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Tuesday-9-1-2018; S71: Among these prophecies was that of Habakkuk 2:1-4: "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith."

As early as 1842 the direction given in this prophecy to "write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it," had suggested to Charles Fitch the preparation of a prophetic chart to illustrate the visions of Daniel and the Revelation. The publication of this chart was regarded as a fulfillment of the command given by Habakkuk. No one, however, then noticed that an apparent delay in the accomplishment of the vision--a tarrying time--is presented in the same prophecy. After the disappointment, this scripture appeared very significant: "The vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. . . . The just shall live by his faith." (Hab.2;1-4) 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 !

Wednesday-10-1-2018; S72: A portion of Ezekiel's prophecy also was a source of strength and comfort to believers: "The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell them therefore, Thus saith the LORD GOD. . . . The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. . . . I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged." "They of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the LORD GOD; There shall none of MY words be prolonged any more, but the Word

393

which I have spoken shall be done." Ezekiel 12:21-25, 27, 28.

The waiting ones rejoiced, believing that He who knows the end from the beginning had looked down through the ages and, foreseeing their disappointment, had given them words of courage and hope. Had it not been for such portions of Scripture, admonishing them to wait with patience and to hold fast their confidence in GOD's word, their faith would have failed in that trying hour.

Thursday-11-1-2018; S73: The parable of the 10 virgins of Matthew 25 also illustrates the experience of the Adventist people. In Matthew 24, in answer to the question of His disciples concerning the sign of His coming and of the end of the world, Christ had pointed out some of the most important events in the history of the world and of the church from His first to His second advent; namely, the destruction of Jerusalem, the great tribulation of the church under the pagan and papal persecutions, the darkening of the sun and moon, and the falling of the stars. After this He spoke of His coming in His kingdom, and related the parable describing the two classes of servants who look for His appearing. Chapter 25 opens with the words: "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins." Here is brought to view the church living in the last days, the same that is pointed out in the close of chapter 24. In this parable their experience is illustrated by the incidents of an Eastern marriage.

"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him."

Friday-12-1-2018; S74: The coming of CHRIST, as announced by the first Angel's message, was understood to be represented by the coming

394

of the Bridegroom(William Miller). The widespread reformation under the proclamation of HIS soon coming, answered to the going forth of the virgins. In this parable, as in that of Matthew 24, two classes are represented. All had taken their lamps, the Bible, and by its light had gone forth to meet the Bridegroom. But while "they that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them," "the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps." The latter class had received the Grace of GOD, the regenerating, enlightening power of the Holy Spirit, which renders HIS Word a lamp to the feet and a Light to the path. In the fear of GOD they had studied the Scriptures to learn the truth, and had earnestly sought for purity of heart and life. These had a personal experience, a faith in GOD and in HIS Word, which could not be overthrown by disappointment and delay. Others "took their lamps, and took no oil with them." They had moved from impulse. Their fears had been excited by the solemn message, but they had depended upon the faith of their brethren, satisfied with the flickering light of good emotions, without a thorough understanding of the truth or a genuine work of grace in the heart. These had gone forth to meet the LORD, full of hope in the prospect of immediate reward; but they were not prepared for delay and disappointment. When trials came, their faith failed, and their Lights burned dim.

SABBATH-13-1-2018; S75: "While the Bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept." By the tarrying of the Bridegroom is represented the passing of the time when the LORD was expected, the disappointment, and the seeming delay. In this time of uncertainty, the interest of the superficial and halfhearted soon began to waver, and their efforts to relax; but those whose faith was based on a personal knowledge of the Bible had a rock beneath their feet, which the waves of disappointment could not wash away. "They all slumbered and slept;" one class in unconcern and abandonment of their faith, the other class patiently waiting till clearer light should be given. Yet

395

in the night of trial the latter seemed to lose, to some extent, their zeal and devotion. The halfhearted and superficial could no longer lean upon the faith of their brethren. Each must stand or fall for himself.

About this time, fanaticism began to appear. Some who had professed to be zealous believers in the message rejected the Word of GOD as the one infallible guide and, claiming to be led by the Spirit, gave themselves up to the control of their own feelings, impressions, and imaginations. There were some who manifested a blind and bigoted zeal, denouncing all who would not sanction their course. Their fanatical ideas and exercises met with no sympathy from the great body of Adventists; yet they served to bring reproach upon the cause of truth.

Sunday-14-1-2018; S76: Satan was seeking by this means to oppose and destroy the Work of GOD. The people had been greatly stirred by the Advent movement, thousands of sinners had been converted, and faithful men were giving themselves to the work of proclaiming the Truth, even in the tarrying time. The prince of evil was losing his subjects; and in order to bring reproach upon the cause of GOD, he sought to deceive some who professed the faith and to drive them to extremes. Then his agents stood ready to seize upon every error, every failure, every unbecoming act, and hold it up before the people in the most exaggerated Light, to render Adventists and their faith odious. Thus the greater the number whom he could crowd in to make a profession of faith in the Second Advent while HIS Power controlled their hearts, the greater advantage would he gain by calling attention to them as representatives of the whole body of believers.

Monday-15-1-2018; S77: Satan is "the accuser of the brethren," and it is his spirit that inspires men to watch for the errors and defects of the LORDs people, and to hold them up to notice, while their good deeds are passed by without a mention. He is always active when GOD is at work for the Salvation of souls. When the sons of GOD come to present themselves before the LORD,

396

Satan comes also among them. In every revival he is ready to bring in those who are unsanctified in heart and unbalanced in mind. When these have accepted some points of truth, and gained a place with believers, he works through them to introduce theories that will deceive the unwary. No man is proved to be a true Christian because he is found in company with the children of GOD, even in the house of worship and around the table of the LORD. Satan is frequently there upon the most solemn occasions in the form of those whom he can use as his agents.

The prince of evil contests every inch of ground over which GOD's people advance in their journey toward the heavenly city. In all the history of the church no reformation has been carried forward without encountering serious obstacles. Thus it was in Paul's day. Wherever the apostle raised up a church, there were some who professed to receive the faith, but who brought in heresies, that, if received, would eventually crowd out the love of the truth. Luther also suffered great perplexity and distress from the course of fanatical persons who claimed that GOD had spoken directly through them, and who therefore set their own ideas and opinions above the testimony of the Scriptures. Many who were lacking in faith and experience, but who had considerable self-sufficiency, and who loved to hear and tell some new thing, were beguiled by the pretensions of the new teachers, and they joined the agents of Satan in their work of tearing down what GOD had moved Luther to build up. And the Wesleys, and others who blessed the world by their influence and their faith, encountered at every step the wiles of Satan in pushing overzealous, unbalanced, and unsanctified ones into fanaticism of every grade.

Thursday January 4, 2018; S66: Now as in former ages, the presentation of a truth that reproves the sins and errors of the times will excite opposition. "Everyone that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved." John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light(JESUS), neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.). As men see that they cannot maintain their position by the Scriptures, many determine to maintain it at all hazards, and with a malicious spirit they assail the character and motives of those who stand in defense of unpopular truth. It is the same policy which has been pursued in all ages. Elijah was declared to be a troubler in Israel, Jeremiah a traitor, Paul a polluter of the temple. From that day to this, those who would be loyal to truth have been denounced as seditious,

459

heretical, or schismatic. Multitudes who are too unbelieving to accept the sure word of prophecy will receive with unquestioning credulity an accusation against those who dare to reprove fashionable sins. This spirit will increase more and more. And the Bible plainly teaches that a time is approaching when the laws of the state will so conflict with the law of GOD that whosoever would obey all the divine precepts must brave reproach and punishment as an evildoer.

Friday January 5, 2018; S67: In view of this, what is the duty of the messenger of truth? Shall he conclude that the truth ought not to be presented, since often its only effect is to arouse men to evade or resist its claims? No; he has no more reason for withholding the testimony of GOD's Word, because it excites opposition, than had earlier Reformers. The confession of faith made by saints and martyrs was recorded for the benefit of succeeding generations. Those living examples of holiness and steadfast integrity have come down to inspire courage in those who are now called to stand as witnesses for GOD. They received grace and truth, not for themselves alone, but that, through them, the knowledge of GOD might enlighten the earth. Has GOD given light to His servants in this generation? Then they should let it shine forth to the world.

Anciently the LORD declared to one who spoke in His name: "The house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto Me." Nevertheless He said: "Thou shalt speak My words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear." Ezekiel 3:7 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.; 2:7 And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. To the servant of GOD at this time is the command addressed: "Lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins."

the Word at MY Mouth, and warn them from ME. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul." Ezekiel 33:7-9.

Sunday December 31, 2017; S62: To refute such arguments it was needful only to cite the teachings of the Scriptures and the history of the LORD's dealings with His people in all ages. GOD works through

456

those who hear and obey HIS voice, those who will, if need be, speak unpalatable truths, those who do not fear to reprove popular sins. The reason why He does not oftener choose men of learning and high position to lead out in reform movements is that they trust to their creeds, theories, and theological systems, and feel no need to be taught of GOD. Only those who have a personal connection with the Source of wisdom are able to understand or explain the Scriptures. Men who have little of the learning of the schools are sometimes called to declare the truth, not because they are unlearned, but because they are not too self-sufficient to be taught of GOD. They learn in the school of CHRIST, and their humility and obedience make them great. In committing to them a knowledge of HIS truth, GOD confers upon them an honor, in comparison with which earthly honor and human greatness sink into insignificance.

TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE RAISED TO HEAVEN & WHO WILL RECEIVE ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. THE VERSE IS IN Revelation 14:13And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me(John), Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth(Until Oct. 22, 1844 & Sabbath Arise/Started): Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Monday January 1, 2018; S63: The majority of Adventists rejected the truths concerning the sanctuary and the law of GOD, and many also renounced their faith in the Advent movement and adopted unsound and conflicting views of the prophecies which applied to that work. Some were led into the error of repeatedly fixing upon a definite time for the coming of CHRIST. The Light which was now shining on the subject of the Sanctuary should have shown them that no prophetic period extends to the Second Advent; that the exact time of this Advent is not foretold. But, turning from the Light, they continued to set time after time for the LORD to come, and as often they were disappointed.

When the Thessalonian church received erroneous views concerning the Coming of CHRIST, the apostle Paul counseled them to test their hopes and anticipations carefully by the Word of GOD. He cited them to prophecies revealing the events to take place before CHRIST should come, and showed that they had no ground to expect HIM in their day. "Let no man deceive you by any means" (2 Thessalonians 2:3’Paus’s Sunday & his people; 538 – 1798 no Bible), are HIS Words of warning. Should they indulge expectations that were not sanctioned by the Scriptures, they would be led to

457

a mistaken course of action; disappointment would expose them to the derision of unbelievers, and they would be in danger of yielding to discouragement and would be tempted to doubt the truths essential for their Salvation. The apostle's admonition to the Thessalonians contains an important lesson for those who live in the last days. Many Adventists have felt that unless they could fix their faith upon a definite time for the LORD's coming, they could not be zealous and diligent in the work of preparation. But as their hopes are again and again excited, only to be destroyed, their faith receives such a shock that it becomes well-nigh impossible for them to be impressed by the great truths of prophecy.

Tuesday January 2, 2018; S64: The preaching of a definite time for the Judgment, in the giving of the first message, was ordered by GOD. The computation of the prophetic periods on which that message was based, placing the close of the 2300 days in the autumn of 1844, stands without impeachment. The repeated efforts to find new dates for the beginning and close of the prophetic periods, and the unsound reasoning necessary to sustain these positions, not only lead minds away from the present truth, but throw contempt upon all efforts to explain the prophecies. The more frequently a definite time is set for the Second Advent, and the more widely it is taught, the better it suits the purposes of Satan. After the time has passed, he excites ridicule and contempt of its advocates, and thus casts reproach upon the Great Advent movement of 1843 and 1844. Those who persist in this error will at last fix upon a date too far in the future for the Coming of CHRIST. Thus they will be led to rest in a false security, and many will not be undeceived until it is too late.

Wednesday January 3, 2018; S65: The history of ancient Israel is a striking illustration of the past experience of the Adventist body. GOD led His people in the advent movement, even as He led the children of Israel from Egypt. In the great disappointment their faith was tested as was that of the Hebrews at the Red Sea. Had they still trusted to the guiding hand that had been with them in

458

their past experience, they would have seen the Salvation of GOD. If all who had labored unitedly in the work in 1844, had received the Third Angel’s message(E.G.White & 4th Angel’s message(V.T.Houteff, to make complete the 3rd Angels Messages in Rev18:1 And after these things I(John) saw another Angel(4th) come down from heaven, having great power; and the Earth was lightened with his glory.);  and proclaimed it in the power of the Holy Spirit, the LORD would have  wrought mightily with their(E.G.White & V.T.Houteff) efforts. A flood of light would have been shed upon the World. Years ago the inhabitans of the Earthwould have been warned, the closing work completed, and HRIST would have come fort the Redemption of HIS people. (Without this knowledge will not be able to stay in Heaven, because the LORD JESUS gives this Lesson in order to prepare to become a Heavenly Population. Just like someone, who will occupy the new House. So the man must know the circumstances of the House, so that when the person moves to a new house no stranger. The Kingdom of Heaven is the same, we must know carefully, before occupying the New House of the Kingdom of Heaven. So it's impossible to be FOREIGN, stay at that HOUSE)

It was not the will of GOD that Israel should wander Forty Years(from Adam until Second Coming of CHRIST) in the wilderness(World); He desired to lead them directly to the land of Canaan(New Jerusalem) and Establish them there, a Holy, happy people. But "they could not enter in(Heaven) because of unbelief." (Hebrews 3:19So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief)  ”Because of their backsliding and apostasy they perished in the desert(Hell), and others were raised up to enter the Promised Land(New Jerusalem in Heaven go to New Earth after people in Heaven 1000 years). In like manner, it was not the will of GOD that the coming of CHRIST should be so long delayed and HIS people should remain so many years in this world of sin and sorrow. But unbelief separated them from GOD. As they refused to do the work which He had appointed them, others were raised up to proclaim the message. In mercy to the world, JESUS delays HIS coming, that sinners may have an opportunity to hear the warning and find in Him a shelter before the wrath of GOD shall be poured out.
