PURPOSE:
To reveal the Beginning of the Kingdom of Glory in the last days
THE INTRODUCTION
Many SDAs teach that during the Loud Cry period, we shall be hiding in deep rural areas and preach under cover for fear of the mark of the Beast – or no preaching at all, only waiting for 2nd Coming!
Only those studying the 4th Angels’ Message can now understand the prophecies of the “Heritage of Jacob” – Loud Cry Kingdom of Glory.
The doctrine of the Second Coming is not a new message. Adam taught his descendants about his fall and the hope of a Redeemer. Abel, by faith he sacrificed in hope. Enoch lived by Adam’s lessons and was shown a vision from his time – the flood, Christ’s sacrifice on Calvary, the Judgment of the dead starting in 1844
….up to the 3rd Coming of Christ after the 1000 years. The Patriarchs, Kings, Prophets, Apostles, Reformers, Millerites, SDAs and even other Churches – all were/are burning with the great hope of the Restoration. They all wished to experience the crowning event. BUT, HOW and WHEN will it be fulfilled?
EARLIEST PREDICTIONS OF THE KINGDOM:
Gen. 9:27 – NOAH “….God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant…..”
PP 117 “In Shem, Ham, and Japheth, who were to be the founders of the human race, was foreshadowed the character of their posterity. {PP 117.1} Noah, speaking by divine inspiration, foretold the history of the three great races to spring from these fathers of mankind….. On the other hand, the reverence manifested by Shem and Japheth for their father, and thus for the divine statutes, promised a brighter future for their descendants. The line of Shem was to be that of the chosen people, of God’s covenant, of the promised Redeemer. Jehovah was the God of Shem. From him would descend Abraham, and the people of Israel, through whom Christ was to come. “Happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.” Psalm 144:15. And Japheth (Europeans) “shall dwell in the tents of Shem.” In the blessings of the gospel the descendants of Japheth were especially to share.”
Gen. 15:18 “In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates.”
Psa. 105:8-11 “He hath remembered his covenant forever, the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations. Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant: Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.”
* This is not now a failed and forgotten agreement. God does not break His promises like the sons of men. All that He has promised to do he will fulfill in the times appointed (Isa 34:16/Ezek. 12:21-25).
THE GREAT HOPE OF OLD ISRAEL
Isaiah 9:6-7 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of [his] government and peace [there shall be] no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
The Saviour shall come – be born as a baby and will finally establish the Kingdom on the Throne of David. The Appendix to PP says: “And David’s throne God established forevermore. When Solomon succeeded to the kingdom in the place of David his father, the record is: ‘then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father.’ 1Chronicles 29:23. David’s throne was the throne of the Lord, and Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king over the earthly kingdom of God” Other EXAMPLES:
Dan 7:25-27 “And he shall speak [great] words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (538-1798). But the judgment shall sit (1844), and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy [it] unto the end. And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.”
ZECH 2:10-12 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.”
Other Scriptures include: Deut.4:25-31 / Deut. 30:1-14 / Isa. 14:1-3 and Jer. 30:7-10, 16-22- irrefutably show an independent kingdom in Palestine.
Isaiah 14:1-3 “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel (144 000), and set them in their own land: and the strangers (Gt. Multitude) shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.”
Jere. 30:4-9, 18-21 “Alas! for that day [is] great, so that none [is] like it: it [is] even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, [that] I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him: But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them….. Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof….. And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them…..”
John the Baptist and Christ’s Disciples
When John the Baptist was preaching repentance “for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matt. 3:2), Desire of Ages p. 103 tells us that “John did not fully understand the nature of the Messiah’s kingdom. He looked for Israel to be delivered from her national foes.”
He expected a political kingdom.
After feeding the 5000, the Jews proved beyond doubt that Jesus was that Messiah and they planned to make Him King by force (John 6:10-15) but Jesus disappeared! This burning hope was also in his disciples: Peter wanted Him not to die but set the Kingdom (Matt 16:21-23). John and James booked for posts in the kingdom (Mark 10:35-40). When Jesus died the hope of a kingdom was frustrated among the disciples (Luke 24:13-34), but when He rose, He proved to be the Messiah!
Acts 1:2-3 “Until the day in which he was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom He had chosen: To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.”
Acts 1:6-8 – “When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
The main agenda after His resurrection was the issue of the Kingdom. Jesus’ answer was not saying the kingdom will never be set up, but that it was not the time. They wanted it over 2000 years before schedule! (PK 713-714)- “That which God purposed to do for the world through Israel, the chosen nation, He will finally accomplish through His church (SDA) on earth today…” But the SDAs don’t know this, and they don’t want to know it! They want to go by express ticket to heaven without setting up this kingdom! How confused are sinful human beings!
DA 818 “The commission had been given to the twelve when Christ met with them in the upper chamber; but it was now to be given to a larger number. At the meeting on a mountain in Galilee, all the believers who could be called together were assembled. Of this meeting Christ Himself, before His death, had designated the time and place. The angel at the tomb reminded the disciples of His promise to meet them in Galilee. The promise was repeated to the believers who were gathered at Jerusalem during the Passover week, and through them it reached many lonely ones who were mourning the death of their Lord. With intense interest all looked forward to the interview….They made their way to the place of meeting by circuitous routes, coming in from every direction, to avoid exciting the suspicion of the jealous Jews. With wondering hearts they came, talking earnestly together of the news that had reached them concerning Christ. At the time appointed, about five hundred believers were collected in little knots on the mountainside, eager to learn all that could be learned from those who had seen Christ since His resurrection. From group to group the disciples passed, telling all they had seen and heard of Jesus, and reasoning from the Scriptures as He had done with them. Thomas recounted the story of his unbelief, and told how his doubts had been swept away….
DA 818-819 “Suddenly Jesus stood among them. No one could tell whence or how He came. Many who were present had never before seen Him; but in His hands and feet they beheld the marks of the crucifixion; His countenance was as the face of God, and when they saw Him, they worshiped Him. But some doubted. So it will always be. There are those who find it hard to exercise faith, and they place themselves on the doubting side. These lose much because of their unbelief. This was the only interview that Jesus had with many of the believers after His resurrection…. Before leaving His disciples, Christ plainly stated the nature of His kingdom. He called to their minds what He had previously told them concerning it. He declared that it was not His purpose to establish in this world a temporal, but a spiritual kingdom. He was not to reign as an earthly king on David’s throne.”
Mount of Blessing 107-108 “The disciples of Christ were looking for the immediate coming of the kingdom of His glory, but in giving them this prayer Jesus taught that the kingdom was not then to be established. They were to pray for its coming as an event yet future. But this petition was also an assurance to them. While they were not to behold the coming of the kingdom in their day, the fact that Jesus bade them pray for it is evidence that in God’s own time it will surely come. The kingdom of God’s grace is now being established, as day by day hearts that have been full of sin and rebellion yield to the sovereignty of His love. But the full establishment of the kingdom of His glory will not take place until the second coming of Christ”
2. THE TWO KINGDOMS
The spiritual kingdom within our hearts John 18:36 / Luke 17:20-21
When Adam sinned, a plan of redemption was put in place – the kingdom of Grace was constituted and men could be members of it by faith (GC 347). But it was not set up until 31AD. Then at 31AD, the kingdom of
Grace came into our hearts, but Jesus still told us to pray for the kingdom of Glory in the Lord’s Prayer “Thy Kingdom Come”
MB 107-108: In the parables (Matt 13) it is represented as starting in a small way (Also the Dan 2 Stone), but grows to fill the whole earth with its glory (Isa 62:1-2/Micah 4:1-2/Rev. 18:1).
3. THE KINGDOM OF GLORY – when?
Dan 2:28, 44 – In the “Latter days…in the days of thee kings” of today. Micah 4:1-2 “last days.”
It will bring the 10 toe kingdoms (kingdom no. 6 and 7) to an end.
Zech. 2:5, 10-12 – The Messiah’s kingdom is set up during probationary time because “many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day” – during the Loud Cry time.
4. HOW / WHERE WILL THE KINGDOM BE SET UP?
Being a crucial, controversial event, the kingdom was recorded many times in the Bible. It is the climax of all doctrines, and it can be proved from the Bible, Genesis to Revelation:
Gen. 49:10 “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him [shall] the gathering of the people [be].”
Num. 24:14-19 “And now, behold, I go unto my people: come [therefore, and] I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days…falling [into a trance], but having his eyes open: I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly…”
Deut. 4:25-31 “When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt [yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, [even] IN THE LATTER DAYS, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
Deut. 30:1-5–“And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call [them] to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. If [any] of thine be driven out unto the outmost [parts] of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.”
Gen 49:10 /Numbers 24:14-19 /Duet 4&30 – Jacob’s prophecy on Judah is that when “Shiloh” (He who brings peace) comes, shall the gathering of nations be (as in Zech.2:10-11). Balaam calls Him “star,” and that Moab
and Edom (modern state of Jordan) will lose territory to the Messiah’s kingdom in Palestine. Israel was told that they would fail and be displaced among the other nations until the latter days when they shall obey His Voice then He shall return them to Palestine to occupy it once more, for the final work (Deut. 4:25-31/Deut. 30:1-5). This is the THEME OF THE PROPHECIES OF GOD’S PROMISE TO ISRAEL.
PK 713 -714 – “That which God purposed to do for the world through Israel, the chosen nation, He will finally accomplish through His Church on earth today.”
Isa. 2:1-4/Isa. 9:6,7/Isa.11:1-16/ Isa.14:1-3/Isa 62:1-2/Isa. 65:15-20
Isa. 14:1-3 – “For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve.”
Jere 23:1-20/Jere 30:7-12/Jere 31:1-10: “Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, [and] with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither…Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare [it] in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd [doth] his flock…”
The sealed living saints (pregnant, babies, lame and blind among them) shall be gathered from all countries of the world to Palestine. That this (difficult and most hated doctrine by SDA leaders) is now made very clear by the Bible: “In the Latter days you shall understand it perfectly” (clearly), but none of the wicked shall understand (Matt 13:10-13/ Dan 12:1-13, 10).
Ezek. 36:24-28 “For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them]. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God…”
Ezek. 36:34-36 “And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities [are become] fenced, [and] are inhabited. Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined [places, and] plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken [it], and I will do [it]….Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land…”
Ezek. 37:21-24 “And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God. And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt.”
Joel 3:1-2, 13, 19-20 “For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and [for] my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land….. The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid….Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame. At that time will I bring you [again], even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
Zech.1:18-21/2:1-5/2:10-12/8:6-9,20-23/12:3-8/13:1-3
Zechariah is full of this prophecy. Palestine, the gathering point of the believing nations. God will protect His saints by a wall of fire (Zech.2:5,11) , an angelic guard. We need faith now in what is written, that God’s word cannot fail to fulfil itself (Zech. 8:6-9). Zech. 12:8 calls this Davidic kingdom – “House of David.”
Zech. 8:7-9 “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets…”
Amos 9:9-11,15 “For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this…. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.”
Matt.25:31-46 “When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats…”
Note: The throne of His Kingdom is the ‘Throne of David,’- the ‘Throne of the Lord’ (Chron.29:23). After the SDA Church is purified, it is given a new name (Isa. 65:11-15/Zech.12:3, 8) -‘House of David.’ And given the status of ‘Kingdom’ among the heathen kingdoms of the world for a witness and the gathering of the converted nations during the Loud Cry of the144000.
Luke 13:22-30 “And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you [yourselves] thrust out. And they shall come from the east, and [from] the west, and from the north, and [from] the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.”
Rev. 14:1 – “And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the Mount Sion, and with Him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having His Father’s name written in their foreheads.”
Mt Zion becomes alive again with the atoning Lamb (i.e. in time of probation) standing with the 144 000 (as in Zech. 2:10). “Such will stand with Him on Mount Zion. But they must stand on this earth, girded with the whole armour, ready to engage in the work of saving…” (7BC 978).
THE KING OF THE KINGDOM
Ezek. 34:23-24 “And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, [even] my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken [it].”
Ezek. 37:22, 24, 25 “And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations…And David my servant [shall be] king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt…”
Also see Hosea 4:3, 4 / Jere. 9:30 THE NAME OF THE KINGDOM
Isa. 62:2 “and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.”
Isa. 65 11, 12, 15 “Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose [that] wherein I delighted not…. And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name…”
Zech. 12:8 “In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.”
Zech. 13:1 “In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.”
PP Appx. “And David’s throne God established forevermore. When Solomon succeeded to the kingdom in the place of David his father, the record is: ‘then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father.’ 1Chronicles 29:23. David’s throne was the throne of the Lord, and Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king over the earthly kingdom of God”
Christ, the Son of David’s Kingdom is after the Order or Throne of DAVID, which means, “the Throne of the Lord.” – A DAVIDIC or DAVIDIAN Kingdom.
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY ON E.G. WHITE STATEMENTS:
EW 17, 51, 53, 75, 291 /PK 451 /GC 302, 322-323 – all seem to negate the going back to rebuild Old Jerusalem. As read from the Bible God said He will do it (e.g. see Ezek. 36:36-38, Ezek. 38:8-12). It is a Bible promise, not E.G. White issue. If she didn’t know about the setting up of the kingdom as she confessed in Letter 3, 1851 (Maranatha p. 245 see next slide) it doesn’t make it hard for God to fulfill what He had promised many times in His Word. It is a light of the 4th not the 3rd Angel’s Message. Like John the Baptist on the Kingdom (DA 103), like Miller on the Sabbath and Sanctuary truth; God’s messengers do not know future messages which shall come with other messengers. The light of the Judgment of the living, 144,000 and Gt. Multitude (product of J. of Living), and Kingdom (territory and the work of 144,000) are to brought by the 4th angel’s message thru V.T. Houteff.
OLD JERUSALEM
Jerusalem is now a modern city, even declared to be the Capital of the State of Israel. What then E.G. White referred to as never to be rebuilt is the Old City – to the UNBELIEVING JEWS, especially the old Temple. Right now on the Temple mount, Mt. Moriah, there stands the Muslim Dome mosque. The Jews may hope and try to rebuild the Third Temple, but the SOP says it will never be restored. The Ceremonial system expired on the Cross in 31 AD! The Unbelieving Jews are still provoking God by perpetuating their rejection of Christ. For, this, they will very soon be thrown out of the Land, to give way for the Believing Jews – the 144 000, to set the Loud Cry Kingdom there.
Maranatha 245/ Letter 3, 1851. “I saw we knew not what it was yet to ride upon the high places of the earth and to be fed with the heritage of Jacob. But when the refreshing and latter rain shall come from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His power we shall know what it is to be fed with the heritage of Jacob and ride upon the high places of the earth. Then shall we see the Sabbath more in its importance and glory….”
The ‘Heritage of Jacob’ (Psa.105:8) is the Promised Land. To ‘ride upon the high places of the earth (Micah 4:1-2/Dan7:26-27) = The Lord exalting the 144000 and setting them as a Kingdom in Palestine.
TM 422: “Who are the subjects of the kingdom of God?–all those who do His will. They have righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. The members of Christ’s kingdom are the sons of God, partners in His great firm. The elect of God are a chosen generation, a peculiar people, a holy nation, to show forth the praises of Him who hath called them out of darkness into His marvelous light. They are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. They are living stones, a royal priesthood. They are in co-partnership with Jesus Christ. These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth.”
It must be our Hope and Prayer that we be among the citizens of God’s Kingdom. To SIGH and CRY for the SEAL among the 144000 is the passport and visa to the Kingdom of Glory.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY. AMEN.
