force to the experience 
of God's people in the 
closing-up of the great 
day of atonement . . . .”

“As Joshua was 
pleading before the 
Angel, so the remnant 
church, with 
brokenness of heart 
and earnest faith, will 
plead for pardon and 
deliverance through 
Jesus their Advocate ...”

“They are fully 
conscious of the 
sinfulness of their lives 
they see their weakness 
and unworthiness, and 
as they look upon 
themselves they are 
ready to despair.” 
Testimony to the Church Vol. 5 pgs. 472-475
the experience that will bring God's people 
the seal of God 
“The tempter stands by 
to accuse them, as he 
stood by to resist 
Joshua. He points to 
their filthy garments, 
their defective 
characters...” 
Testimony to the Church Vol. 5 pgs. 472-475
the experience that will bring God's people 
the seal of God 
“As the people of God 
afflict their souls before 
Him, pleading for purity 
of heart, the command 
is given, ‘Take away the 
filthy garments from 
them’, and the 
encouraging words are 
spoken:”

be defiled by the 
corruptions of the 
world.”

“Their names are 
retained in the Lamb's 
book of life, enrolled 
among the faithful of all 
ages. They have resisted 
the wiles of the 
deceiver: they have not 
been turned from their 
loyalty by the dragon's 
roar.”

secure from the 
tempter's devices. Holy 
angels, unseen, were 
passing to and fro, 
placing upon them the 
seal of the living God.” 
Testimony to the Church Vol. 5 pgs. 472-475
Observation 
1. The setting is the antitypical day of 
atonement. 
2. God’s people afflict their souls in full 
consciousness of their sinfulness. 
3. Jesus takes away “the filthy garments” 
and seals His people.

GOD'S PEOPLE DO NOT SIGH 
FOR ABOMINATIONS 
IN THE CHURCH DURING 
THE LATTER RAIN
Proposed order of events for God‘s people 
are as follows: 
1 . The Shaking; 
2 . The Latter Rain/Loud Cry; 
3. The Sealing. 
To realise the fallacy of placing the sealing of God's 
people after the latter rain and loud cry, please 
consider three simple and straightforward 
propositions: 
1. The Condition of God's people Immediately 
Prior to Being Sealed. 
2. The Thoroughness of the Shaking. 
3. The Glorious State of the Church During the 
Latter Rain which Follows the Shaking.
The Condition of God's people Immediately

Sealed

the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four 
thousand who are to stand without fault

does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion

1. The faithful sigh and cry for the condition 
of the church when its “danger and

2. In this attitude of deep affliction for the

1. The faithful sigh and cry for the condition 
of the church when its “danger and 
depression are greatest" - the church 
appears as if "about to fall.” 
2. In this attitude of deep affliction for the 
sins in the church they are sealed .

Observation 
3. The latter rain revives God's people from 
the terrible ordeal of the shaking. With 
all the abominations purged away, it is 
then a church " fair as the moon, clear as 
the sun, and terrible as an army with 
banners. 
Testimony to the Church Vol. 5 pg. 82; Early Writing pg. 271; Great Controversy 1888 edition pg. 611
Observation 
If one place the sealing of God's people at the close 
of the latter rain, one would have God's people 
sighing and crying for the condition of the church in 
the time of its most glorious and triumphant 
experience. This would not be in harmony with the 
Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. It is therefore apparent 
that the sealing must commence; “before …the 
sealing of God's people is finished, we shall receive 
the outpouring of the Spirit of God.”

GOD'S PEOPLE DO 
NOT AGONIZE FOR THEIR 
SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION 
DURING THE LATTER RAIN
GOD'S PEOPLE DO NOT AGONIZE FOR 
THEIR SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION DURING 
THE LATTER RAIN 
Immediately prior to receiving the seal of God, 
the remnant are represented as being in the 
deepest distress and humility because of their 
spiritual poverty.
GOD'S PEOPLE DO NOT AGONIZE FOR 
THEIR SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION DURING 
THE LATTER RAIN 
“The class who do not feel grieved over their 
own spiritual declension . . . will be left without 
the seal of God.” 
Testimony to the Church Vol. 5 pgs. 211
GOD'S PEOPLE DO NOT AGONIZE FOR 
THEIR SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION DURING 
THE LATTER RAIN 
“They are fully conscious of the sinfulness of 
their lives; they see their weakness and 
unworthiness, and as they look upon themselves 
They are ready to despair. The tempter stands by 
to accuse them, as he stood by to resist Joshua. 
He points to their filthy garments, their defective 
characters . . . .” 
Testimony to the Church Vol. 5 pgs. 211
GOD'S PEOPLE DO NOT AGONIZE FOR 
THEIR SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION DURING 
THE LATTER RAIN 
“As the people of God afflict their souls before 
Him, pleading for purity of heart, the command 
is given: `Take away the filthy garments' from 
them . . . . The despised remnant are clothed in 
glorious apparel, nevermore to be defiled by the 
corruptions of the world. holy angels, unseen, 
were passing to and fro, placing upon them the 
seal of the living God.” 
Testimony to the Church Vol. 5 pgs. 473-5
GOD'S PEOPLE DO NOT AGONIZE FOR 
THEIR SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION DURING 
THE LATTER RAIN 
If God's people are sealed after the latter rain/loud cry 
experience, as so many contend, it would follow that 
during the latter rain God's people would be lamenting 
their spiritual poverty, and afflicting their souls while 
Satan exultingly points to their defective characters. How 
can God's people be represented as agonizing for the 
seal of God when they are enjoying the latter rain? Such 
is the inescapable predicament of those who place the 
sealing at the close of the loud cry.
GOD'S PEOPLE DO NOT AGONIZE FOR 
THEIR SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION DURING 
Inspiration clearly outlines that this great soul affliction 
comes before the reception of the latter rain. 
“I saw some, with strong faith and agonizing cries, 
pleading with God. Their countenances were pale and 
marked with deep anxiety, expressive of their internal 
struggle . . . large drops of perspiration fell from their 
foreheads . . . the praying ones continued their earnest 
cries. agonizing and pleading . . . . “Soon I heard a voice 
like many musical instruments all sounding in perfect 
strains, sweet and harmonious . . . .” 
Early Writings pgs. 269-271 
THE LATTER RAIN
GOD'S PEOPLE DO NOT AGONIZE FOR 
THEIR SPIRITUAL DESTITUTION DURING 
Inspiration clearly outlines that this great soul affliction 
comes before the reception of the latter rain. 
“I was shown those whom I had before seen weeping 
and praying in agony of spirit. The company of guardian 
angels around them had been doubled, and they were 
clothed with an armor from their head to their feet. They 
moved in exact order like a company of soldiers….They 
had obtained the victory, and it called forth from' them 
the deepest gratitude and holy, sacred joy… I asked what 
had made this great change. An angel answered: 'It is the 
latter rain, the refreshing from the presence of the Lord, 
the loud cry of the third angel.” 
Early Writings pgs. 269-271 
THE LATTER RAIN
Observation 
Please compare two complementary passages 
(5T.472-5 and EW. 269-71). I have observed: 
1. God's people realize their spiritual destitution, 
and they afflict their souls. 
2. While agonizing for victory, the filthy garments 
are removed and they are sealed. 
3 . The latter rain revives and strengthens them (see 
EW. 86).
Observation 
Please compare two complementary passages 
(5T.472-5 and EW. 269-71). I have observed: 
It brings great joy. Clad in an impregnable armor, 
they go forth to give the loud cry. “God wants to 
have a sealed people to be labourers together with 
Him in the last great work. “God will reveal through 
such workers the power of His grace.”
Observation 
Please compare two complementary passages 
(5T.472-5 and EW. 269-71). I have observed: 
“His servants are to be distinguished from the world 
by the seal of the living God; their words and their 
works are to reveal that they are labourers together 
with God.” 
7BC.969.
Observation 
Please compare two complementary passages 
(5T.472-5 and EW. 269-71). I have observed: 
Friends, will you determine to be such a worker for 
God? Will you join with those who prize “victory and 
salvation enough to perseveringly plead and agonize 
for it?” EW.271. Do not delay your preparation for 
the seal of God until the outpouring of the latter 
rain. It will then be too late for those who have 
known the truth. (See EW.71.)

It is significant that those who teach

Please consider this important 
passage:
the Order of Events Presented in Testimony

"The time is not far distant when the test [Major Shaking] 
will come to every soul. The mark of the beast [Major 
Shaking] will be urged upon us. Those who have step by 
step yielded to worldly demands and conformed to 
worldly customs will not find it a hard matter to yield to 
the powers that be, rather than subject themselves to 
derision, insult, threatened imprisonment, and death. 
In this time [Major Shaking] the

distinguished from the appearance and tinsel of it.”

“Many a star that we have admired for its brilliancy will 
then go out in darkness . Chaff, like a cloud, will be borne 
away on the wind, even from places where we see only 
floors of rich wheat. 
All who assume the ornaments of the sanctuary, but are 
not clothed with Christ's righteousness, will appear in the 
shame of their own nakedness. 
"When trees without fruit are cut down as cumberers of 
the ground, when multitudes of false brethren are

revealed to view . . . .”

“Then [after this mighty shaking] will the church of Christ 
appear ` fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as 
an army with banners. 
The seeds of truth that are being sown by missionary 
efforts will then spring up and blossom and bear fruit . 
Souls will receive the truth who will endure tribulation 
and praise God that they may suffer for Jesus." (Compare

4. The judgment of the living is in progress

a. “the gold will be separated from the dross in the

describes Christ's work of judgment in the most holy 
place. See Great Controversy 1888 Edition pgs. 425- 
427. The judgment of the living is in progress during 
this purging time [NSL].

b. “appear in the shame of their own nakedness.” This is a

c. “cut down as cumberers of the ground.”- This is the 
irrevocable decision of eternal rejection. See 5T.139

4. The judgment of the living is in progress

period, when the Lord gathers His own from among the 
tares.” TM.234.

Observation 
5. After the Lord has purged each 
individual in His church, the latter rain 
falls on that individual and the loud cry 
is proclaimed by that individual until it 
swells and lighten up the whole world 
as others accept the light. 
Testimony to the Church Vol. 5 pgs. 80-82
Observation 
During the latter rain/loud cry, the “other 
sheep” in Babylon hear the message. They 
have yet to be sealed. Thus "before the work 
is closed up and the sealing of God's people 
is finished, we shall receive the outpouring 
of the Spirit of God.” .1 SM.111 .

Observe how carefully the Prophet Ellen G. White applies the 
Scriptures: 
“The prophecies which were fulfilled in the outpouring of the 
former rain at the opening of the gospel, are again to be fulfilled in 
the latter rain at its close. Here are “the times of refreshing” to 
which the apostle Peter looked forward when he said, “Repent ye 
therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out [in 
the investigative Judgment], when the times of refreshing shall 
come from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus.” [Acts 
3:19, 20.] “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins 
may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from 
the presence of the Lord” 
(The words "in the investigative judgment” are the 
Prophet’s own insertion in the 1888 Edition)

“The Lord has shown me clearly that the 
; for it is to be the great 
test for the people of God, by which 
their eternal destiny will be decided.”
7BC.976 
“And I beheld another beast coming up 
out of the earth; and he had two horns 
like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 
And he exerciseth all the power of the 
first beast before him, and causeth the 
earth and them which dwell therein to 
worship the first beast, whose deadly 
wound was healed.”
7BC.976 
“And he doeth great wonders, so that he 
maketh fire come down from heaven on 
the earth in the sight of men, And 
deceiveth them that dwell on the earth 
by the means of those miracles which he 
had power to do in the sight of the 
beast; saying to them that dwell on the 
earth, that they should make an image 
to the beast, which had the wound by a 
sword, and did live.”
7BC.976 
“And he had power to give life unto the 
image of the beast, that the image of the 
beast should both speak, and cause that 
as many as would not worship the image 
of the beast should be killed.”
7BC.976 
“And he causeth all, both small and 
great, rich and poor, free and bond, to 
receive a mark in their right hand, or in 
their foreheads: And that no man might 
buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or 
the name of the beast, or the number of 
his name.”
“This is the 
All 
7BC.976 
who proved their loyalty to God by 
observing His law, and refusing to accept 
a spurious sabbath, will rank under the 
banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and 
will receive the seal of the living God. 
Those who yield the truth of heavenly 
origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, 
will receive the mark of the beast.”

Revelation 13:11-17 Revelation 18:1-4
Revelation 13:11-17 
“And I beheld another beast coming up 
out of the earth; and he had two horns 
like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 
And he exerciseth all the power of the 
first beast before him, and causeth the 
earth and them which dwell therein to 
worship the first beast, whose deadly 
wound was healed.”
Revelation 13:11-17 
“And he doeth great wonders, so that he 
maketh fire come down from heaven on 
the earth in the sight of men, And 
deceiveth them that dwell on the earth 
by the means of those miracles which he 
had power to do in the sight of the 
beast; saying to them that dwell on the 
earth, that they should make an image 
to the beast, which had the wound by a 
sword, and did live.”
Revelation 13:11-17 
“And he had power to give life unto the 
image of the beast, that the image of the 
beast should both speak, and cause that 
as many as would not worship the image 
of the beast should be killed.”
Revelation 13:11-17 
“And he causeth all, both small and 
great, rich and poor, free and bond, to 
receive a mark in their right hand, or in 
their foreheads: And that no man might 
buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or 
the name of the beast, or the number of 
his name.”
Observation 
 fire from heaven 
 the miracle working power of devils 
(false latter rain) (Rev.16:13-14), that 
deceives men, 
 causing them to make an image to the 
beast .
Observation 
The Bible symbolism indicates that this fire 
from heaven is a religious deception - a 
great, false religious revival. This is what 
causes Protestant America to form an 
image to the beast, and to decree that all 
men should worship it. As apostasy led the 
early church to form the papal system (the 
beast), so apostasy will cause the 
Protestant church to form an image to the 
beast.
Observation 
It is the Great Satanic and Diabolical 
Counterfeit latter rain revival which will 
cause an image of the beast to be set up, 
then will America bring in the Sunday Law 
Decree.
Observation 
The economic woes being faced by the 
nations, the asking for a New World Order 
in all its forms and the anger of the nations 
are only precursors to the passing of a 
National Sunday Law. It is the false latter 
rain and the working of Satan through 
nature causing accidents and calamities 
that the Image of the Beast be formed, the 
National Sunday Law be passed and the 
Mark of the beast be received by a large 
class.

“And after these things I saw another 
angel come down from heaven, having 
great power; and the earth was 
lightened with his glory . And he cried 
mightily with a strong voice, saying, 
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and 
is become the habitation of devils, and 
the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage 
of every unclean and hateful bird.”
Revelation 18:1-4 
“For all nations have drunk of the wine 
of the wrath of her fornication, and the 
kings of the earth have committed 
fornication with her, and the merchants 
of the earth are waxed rich through the 
abundance of her delicacies. And I heard 
another voice from heaven, saying, 
Come out of her, my people, that ye be 
not partakers of her sins, and that ye 
receive not of her plagues . For her sins 
have reached unto heaven, and God 
hath remembered her iniquities.”
Observation 
When the angel descends church and state 
have already united. 
The angel comes to announce the 
complete moral fall of Babylon because of

Observation 
The angel comes to announce the 
complete moral fall of Babylon. Three 
evidences of her ultimate apostasy are

1. She has "become the habitation of devils, and, the hold of every foul

false, spiritualistic revival of Revelation 13:13, 14.
Observation 
The angel comes to announce the

2. "The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her.” This

powers have already united with the church.

Observation 
The great false revival of Revelation 
13:13,14 comes before the true 
manifestation of God's power in 
Revelation 18:1-5. It is the false revival 
which causes America to pass the national 
Sunday Law Decree. Then the angel of 
Revelation 18 announces that the ultimate 
apostasy is reached by-the union of the 
church and the state.

Observation- 
ST. June 12, 1893 
“The mystery of iniquity, which had 
already begun to work in Paul's day, will 
continue its work until it be taken out of 
the way at our Lord's second coming.”
Observation- 
ST. June 12, 1893 
“The climax of the working of iniquity will 
soon be reached. When the land which the 
Lord provided as an asylum for his people, 
that they might worship him according to 
the dictates of their own consciences,”
Observation- 
ST. June 12, 1893 
“the land over which for long years the 
shield of Omnipotence has been spread, 
the land which God has favored by making 
it the depository of the pure religion of 
Christ, when that land shall, through its 
legislators, abjure the principles of 
Protestantism, and give countenance to 
Romish apostasy in tampering with God's 
law,”
Observation- 
ST. June 12, 1893 
“it is then that the final work of the man of 
sin will be revealed. Protestants will throw 
their whole influence and strength on the 
side of the Papacy; by a national act 
enforcing the false Sabbath, they will give 
life and vigor to the corrupt faith of Rome, 
reviving her tyranny and oppression of 
conscience. Then it will be time for God to 
work in mighty power for the vindication 
of his truth.”
Observation- 
ST. June 12, 1893 
“The prophet says: ‘I saw another angel 
come down from heaven, having great 
power; and the earth was lightened with 
his glory. And he cried mightily with a 
strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is 
fallen, is fallen. . . .’

“’And I heard another voice from heaven, 
saying, Come out of her, my people, that 
ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye

remembered her iniquities.’”
Observation-

“When do her sins reach unto heaven? 
When the law of God is finally made void 
by legislation. Then the extremity of God's 
people is his opportunity to show who is 
the governor of heaven and earth. As a 
Satanic power is stirring up the elements 
from beneath, God will send light and 
power to his people, that the message of 
truth may be proclaimed to all the world.”

THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME
Those who teach that God's people 
will not be sealed until after the 
loud cry, propose that the judgment 
of the living consists in one act at 
the close of probation. 
Please consider the testimony of 
Inspiration:
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“Beginning with those who first lived 
upon the earth, our Advocate presents 
the cases of each successive generation, 
and closes with the living. Every name is 
mentioned, every case closely 
investigated. Names are accepted, 
names rejected . . .” 
GC.483
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“While Jesus had been ministering in the 
sanctuary, the judgment had been going 
on for the righteous dead, and then for 
the righteous living.” 
EW.280
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“As these persons were named, one by 
one . . .” 
4T. 384
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“The time of the judgment is a most 
solemn period, when the Lord gathers 
His own from among the tares. Those 
who have been members of the same 
family are separated. A mark [seal] is 
placed upon the righteous.” 
TM.234.
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“In this time the gold will be separated 
from the dross in the church . . . Chaff, 
like a cloud, will be borne away on the 
wind. All who assume the ornaments of 
the sanctuary, but are not clothed with 
Christ's righteousness, will appear in the 
shame of their own nakedness. When 
trees without fruit are cut down as 
cumberers of the ground . . .” 
5T.81 
[see also 6T.130 & 5T .81]
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“The time of God's destructive 
judgments is the time of mercy for those 
who have no opportunity to learn what 
is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look upon 
them. His heart of mercy is touched ; His 
hand is still stretched out to save, while 
the door is closed to those who would 
not enter. Large numbers will be 
admitted who in these last days hear the 
truth for the first time.” 
7BC.979 
Compare EW.85-6.
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“When the work of investigation shall be 
ended [signifying a period of time]. 
when the cases of those who in all ages 
have professed to be followers of Christ 
have been examined and decided, then, 
and not till then, probation will close.” 
GC.428 
See also PP.201
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“The time of God's destructive 
judgments is the time of mercy for those

GC.428 
See also PP.201
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“At such a time as this, just as the great 
work of judging the living is to begin...” 
5T.526
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
“Now, when the great work of judging 
the living is about to begin...” 
6T.130 
“The judgment is now passing in the 
sanctuary above. For many years this 
work has been in progress. Soon- none 
know how soon -it will pass to the cases 
of the living. When the work of the 
investigative judgment closes, the 
destiny of all will have been decided for 
life or death . Probation is ended...” 
GC.490
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
So, then, the judgment must pass to the 
living. And when the judgment thus 
passes to the cases of the living, it is 
merely the beginning of the judgment of 
the living. Then when the cases of the 
living have been examined and decided, 
then and not till then, probation will 
close.
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
Let it be further considered that the 
teaching which places the judgment of 
the living at the close of probation, 
makes of none effect the urgent 
message “to them that dwell on the 
earth [the living] . . . The hour of His 
judgment is come.”
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
Herein lies the reason why God's great 
judgment message is not really believed 
by God's (SDA) people. Herein lies the 
cause of unbelief in the great message 
calling us to the sanctuary for the Day of 
Atonement. God's people should be at 
the judgment now by faith, afflicting 
their souls and searching their hearts, 
and co-operating with Christ in this great 
work of cleansing the sanctuary.
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
And there will be no latter rain until this 
work is done (EW.269-271). The hour of 
God's judgment is come -for the living, 
too-for the message is for those “who 
dwell on the earth.” But this false 
teaching virtually declares that the hour 
of God's judgment is not come, and will 
not come until after the loud cry.
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
Oh terrible deception! Oh that God's 
people will know the day of their 
visitation instead of imbibing this false 
teaching which says: “My Lord delayeth 
His coming” to judgment.
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
Friends, do not be deceived. The hour of 
His judgment is come. Are you by faith 
present at that judgment, afflicting your 
soul as you should be on this Day of 
Atonement?
THE JUDGMENT OF THE 
LIVING A PERIOD OF TIME 
Are you repenting and confessing all 
your sins, praying that while your High 
Priest is in the most holy place He might 
blot from your record and your character 
every trace of sin so that you can share 
the refreshing latter rain from the 
presence of the Lord . This work must be 
done now. There is no time to lose.

Since the living righteous are sealed prior to the close of 
probation, it follows that the living righteous are judged prior 
to the close of probation. And since this sealing is represented 
to us as a period of time (3T .266, EW.58), the judgment of the 
living must necessarily cover a period of time.

“The hour of His judgment is come” 
Christ is in the most holy place. He is 
waiting to blot out all our sins, patiently 
waiting to judge His people and give the 
truly penitent ones the precious final 
atonement. The door to this experience is 
open. (Rev. 3 :8 .) Jesus invites His people 
to enter into the blessing of the hour of 
God's judgment.
Observation 
As the Jews of old gathered around the 
sanctuary for the Day of Atonement, so we 
are called to co-operate with Christ in this 
great work of cleansing the sanctuary.
Observation 
We are to come to Mount Sion with true 
penitence and humility, with broken and 
contrite spirits; yet, through the mercy 
and merits of Jesus alone, having boldness 
to enter into the presence of the judgment 
(1 John 4:17) to plead for the precious 
blotting out of sins.
Observation 
This is not something for us to do at some 
future date. It is time to seek this 
experience now. The door is open now. 
Christ invites us to come now. We have 
delayed the sealing long enough. God 
wants a sealed people for the last mighty 
work.

Some of my friends misapply TM.506 in

In fact, a speedy growth in character

Character development after the sealing 
may be illustrated from the life of Jesus. 
At the commencement of His ministry 
He was sealed with the fullness of the 
Spirit. (John 6 :27; 3 :34.) This in no way 
indicated that there was no further 
perfecting growth in His life. During His 
Spirit-filled ministry He was developing a 
perfect character. He was made perfect 
by the things He suffered. Heb. 2 :10; 5 
:9 ; 9T. 21.

Likewise, when God's- people are 
perfectly cleansed from sin, they will be 
sealed with the fullness of the Holy Spirit 
(Eph.1:13; 4:30; 3T:267). The latter rain 
will revive them from the agonizing 
struggle which they pass through in 
order to receive the seal of God. (5T.

 have accomplished their work ;

cry closes, when Inspiration simply says : 
“Before . . , the sealing of God's people is 
finished, we shall receive the outpouring 
of the Spirit of God.” 
I SM.111
A WRONG USE OF 
GC.613 AND EW.279 
When Loud Cry is Finished 
The Sealing has Finished
THE THREAT OF DEATH 
COMES BEFORE THE 
LOUD CRY 5T.81-82
THE THREAT OF DEATH 
COMES BEFORE THE 
LOUD CRY 5T.81-82 
5T.81-82 clearly outlines that: 
1. The church is tested with “threatened 
imprisonment and death.” 
2. “In this time the gold will be separated 
from the dross in the church.” 
3. Then follows the latter rain/loud cry See 
also 6T.400-1. 
This evidence is solidly supported by 1T.187.
THE THREAT OF DEATH 
COMES BEFORE THE 
LOUD CRY 5T.81-82 
“Those who come up to every point, and 
stand every test [including the threat of 
death], and overcome, be the price what 
it may, have heeded the counsel of the 
True Witness, and they will receive the 
latter rain, and thus be fitted for 
translation.” 
IT. 187
THE THREAT OF DEATH 
COMES BEFORE THE 
LOUD CRY 5T.81-82 
It is the latter rain which revives God's 
people from the agonizing experience of 
the shaking, caused by the straight 
testimony within (EW.270), and the 
threat of death without. (5T.81)
ALL MEN DO NOT RECEIVE 
THE MARK OF THE BEAST 
TOGETHER
ALL MEN DO NOT RECEIVE 
THE MARK OF THE BEAST 
TOGETHER 
All men do not receive the mark of the 
beast at the same time. They would if all 
the living righteous received the seal of 
the living God at the same time. 
(See GC.605 and 6T.130.)
ALL MEN DO NOT RECEIVE 
THE MARK OF THE BEAST 
TOGETHER 
Those who erroneously teach that all the 
living righteous receive the seal together 
after the loud cry are forced to contend 
that all men receive the mark of the 
beast together after the loud cry.
ALL MEN DO NOT RECEIVE 
THE MARK OF THE BEAST 
TOGETHER 
This proposition is so false and wide of 
the mark that we will dismiss it with a 
few remarks. 
1. The test of the mark of the beast 
comes to the church before the loud 
cry. (5T .81-2.) 
2. Those who yield the faith receive the 
mark of the beast.
ALL MEN DO NOT RECEIVE 
THE MARK OF THE BEAST 
TOGETHER 
Kindly read the chapter "The Final 
Warning” in The Great Controversy. Here 
is revealed a progressive work.
ALL MEN DO NOT RECEIVE 
THE MARK OF THE BEAST 
TOGETHER 
As the light extends, people make their 
decisions for either side, the mark of the 
beast or the seal of God. “While one 
class receive the mark of the beast, the 
other . . . receive the seal of God.” 
GC.605. “As the controversy extends into 
new fields . . .” GC.607.
ALL MEN DO NOT RECEIVE 
THE MARK OF THE BEAST 
TOGETHER 
Thus, “when the third angel's message 
closes . . . All who have proved 
themselves loyal to the divine precepts 
have received the seal of the living God.” 
GC.613. Conversely, when the third 
angel's message closes, all who have 
proved themselves disloyal to the divine 
precepts have received the mark of the 
beast.
The Illustration is purely diagrammatical, depicting events that have transpired and shall transpire. 
NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO REPRESENT TIME

THE UNIVERSAL DEATH

BEFORE THE CLOSE OF

THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
Confusion is multiplied through a failure 
to distinguish between the two main 
decrees- 
1. The First Decree 
2. Universal Decree
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
1. The First Decree 
Made by the image beast (U.S.A.). 5T.451;Rev. 13 :11-17 
The test before we are sealed. 7BC.976 
Followed by every nation on the globe. 6T. 395. 
Contains the threat of death . 5T. 81. 
Causes great shaking in church. 5T.81. 
Test for the church before the loud cry. 5T. 81-2; 6T.401; 
2 SM.380.
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
2. The Universal Death Decree 
Made after the close of probation. EW. 282, 34, 37;GC. 
615. 
Made by a world-wide legislature. EW. 282 ;PK. 512. 
People given liberty to kill saints. GC.615. 
Cannot be made before probation closes. GC.610-I I. 
Marks the commencement of the time of Jacob‘s 
trouble. EW. 6, 37.
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
The Great Controversy, which presents a 
rather full coverage of all important 
events, makes no mention of the 
universal death decree before the close 
of probation. In fact, it strongly indicates 
that such a law, ignoring any vestige of 
legal propriety, could not be passed 
while Jesus remains High Priest.
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
“But so long as Jesus remains man's 
intercessor in the sanctuary above, the 
restraining influence of the Holy Spirit is 
felt by the rulers and people. It still 
controls, to some extent, the laws of the 
land . . The opposition of the enemies of 
the truth will be restrained that the third 
angel's message may do its work.” 
GC.610-41
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
In the same book, after the end time 
Prophetess to the world has described 
the close of probation and the 
commencement of the time of trouble, 
she writes:
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
“When He leaves the sanctuary . . . the 
restraint...Upon the wicked is removed... 
The persistent refusal of a small minority 
to yield to the popular demand, will 
make them the objects of universal 
execration and a decree will finally be 
issued against those who hallow the 
Sabbath of the fourth commandment,”
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
“denouncing them as deserving of the 
severest punishment, and giving liberty, 
after a, certain time, to put them to 
death.” 
GC.614-5
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
“I saw that the four angels would hold 
the four winds until Jesus' work was 
done in the sanctuary, and then will 
come the seven last plagues. These 
plagues enraged the wicked against the 
righteous;”
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
“they thought that we had brought the 
judgments of God upon them, and that 
if they could rid the earth of us, the 
plagues would then be stayed . A decree 
went forth to slay the saints, which 
caused them to cry day and night for 
deliverance. This was the time of Jacob's 
trouble.” 
EW.36-7
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
“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 [the 
plagues]. Then I saw the leading men of 
the earth consulting together, and Satan 
and his angels busy around them.”
THE UNIVERSAL DEATH 
DECREE IS NOT ISSUED 
BEFORE THE CLOSE OF 
PROBATION 
“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.” 
EW.282-3
THE CLOSE OF PROBATION IS 
NOT THE DECREE OF 
5T. 216
THE CLOSE OF PROBATION IS 
NOT THE DECREE OF 
5T. 216 
Those who teach that God's people will 
not be sealed until the time has come 
for Christ to close probation usually 
quote the following statement in 
support of their error: 
“When the decree goes forth and the 
stamp is impressed, their character will 
remain pure and spotless for eternity.” 
5T.216

  • 74. Observation Please compare two complementary passages (5T.472-5 and EW. 269-71). I have observed: “His servants are to be distinguished from the world by the seal of the living God; their words and their works are to reveal that they are labourers together with God.” 7BC.969.
  • 75. Observation Please compare two complementary passages (5T.472-5 and EW. 269-71). I have observed: Friends, will you determine to be such a worker for God? Will you join with those who prize “victory and salvation enough to perseveringly plead and agonize for it?” EW.271. Do not delay your preparation for the seal of God until the outpouring of the latter rain. It will then be too late for those who have known the truth. (See EW.71.)

At the commencement of His ministry He was sealed with the fullness of the Spirit. (John 6 :27; 3 :34.) This in no way indicated that there was no further perfecting growth in His life. During His Spirit-filled ministry He was developing a perfect character. He was made perfect by the things He suffered. Heb. 2 :10; 5 :9 ; 9T. 21.

ULTIMATE CHARACTER PERFECTION ATTAINED IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE SECOND ADVENT Likewise, when God's- people are perfectly cleansed from sin, they will be sealed with the fullness of the Holy Spirit (Eph.1:13; 4:30; 3T:267).
