PURPOSE: To reveal the purification of the church and the anger of the devil toward the remnant.
INTRODUCTION
Letter 55, 1886 (3SM 385): “The great issue so near at hand will weed out those whom God has not appointed
and He will have a pure, true sanctified ministry prepared for the latter rain.” This great issue is the
Judgement of the Living. It is here said to take place before the Latter rain, Loud Cry in the world.
1. The Woman and her child (Rev. 12:1, 2,5) a) Read Rev. 12:1-According to GC 381, a woman symbolizes
both a pure and apostate church. The Sun, moon and stars-Jacob’s interpretation of Joseph’s dream has a
clue (Gen 37:9-10). Jacob represented the Bible when it was not yet written. Moon, his wife representing
church ministry, Stars, Joseph’s brothers-church laity of their day. Now: Sun (Psalms 119:105) =Written
Bible. Moon=Church leadership. Stars=Church laity. The No. 12 =God’s government on earth through the
church –the authority (crowns) vested upon her. That is why we see 12 patriarchs, 12 tribes of Israel, 12
Apostles, 12 +12 (24) elders in the heavenly sanctuary, 12 x 12000 (144 000) first fruits of the living….If the
moon (night) is under her feet (night in past) means it is day time, closed with the “Sun” (written Bible)
since Moses’ time.
b) Rev. 12:2-5 –If Jesus is her male child, then this expectant mother before the child was born, cannot be
the Christian Church as the theologians are trying to make it. How can the Christian church which Jesus
started be His mother! This expectant woman represents the church that expected and gave birth to the
Messiah. The woman is not Mary the physical mother of Jesus for she was not persecuted and fled into the
desert for 1260 days/years (verse 6): It was the Old Testament church –ever-living, from Edenic time to the Loud
Cry period –in the New Testament time. See GC 267/AA 14.
1st strategy (verse 6): To persecute /kill Christians (Acts 8:1) - they had to run to gentiles lands. The war in heaven
should have occurred between 31AD and 34AD--(the year when Stephen was murdered and probation closed for
Judaism. But the devil followed the woman in the wilderness (gentiledom) for trouble.
2nd strategy (v. 13-15): To cast a flood to drown the woman. Plenty of water in a desert is a sure trap. Water Rev.
17:15 =people. Being cast from the mouth of Satan, cannot be saints, but tares to overtake the church by majority rule!
This work started in 150AD (GC 384-385) to the SDA church time, when the tares are to be separated by the Judgment
of the living.
RH May 21, 1901 “Too much hasty work is done in adding names to the church. Those who admit them say, we will
first get them into the church and then reform them. But this is a mistake. The very first work to be done is the work
of reforming…many whose names are registered on the church books are not Christians.”
6T. 371 “The Lord does now work to bring many souls into the truth, because of the church members who have never
been converted…”
Thus through the crusades and hasty baptisms, Satan is helped to bring more and more tares in this judgment-bound
church!
The Earth assists the church to swallow the flood of tares not USA as on asylum from the persecution of reformers in
Europe, but by the angels of Ezek 9 slaughtering them (Read Ezek 9:1-7/Amos 9:9-10). If all unsealed sinners in
God’s church die by the sword, then only saints (sealed 144 000) remain, and only these survivors become the Woman
(purified SDA church and its name shall be changed: Isa 65:10-15 /Zech 12:1-3, 8 –House of David). “But the days
of the purification of the church are hastening on apace. God will have a people pure and true…” 5T.80.
When all tares (sinners) in the SDA church are thus removed and the 144 000 remain and become the only survived
SDA church -the woman that time, then her seed will be the Great Multitude which their Loud Cry Ministry shall give
birth. Their Loud Cry is the Law and Testimony which this seed shall accept and then possess.
