1. The Close of Probation

2. 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 Dan. 8:14 Judgment Begins Second Coming Seven Last Plagues It was impossible for the plagues to be poured out while Jesus officiated in the sanctuary; but as His work there is finished, and His intercession closes, there is nothing to stay the wrath of God, and it breaks with fury upon the shelterless head of the guilty sinner, who has slighted (EW 280) salvation and hated reproof. In that fearful time, after the close of Jesus mediation, the saints were living in the sight of a holy God without an intercessor. Every case was decided, every jewel numbered. Rev. 22:11 Close of Probation Rev. 18:1-4 Loud Cry James 5:7 Latter Rain Rev. 7:1-8 Seal of God Not one of us will ever receive the seal of God while our characters have one spot or stain upon them. It is left with us to remedy the defects in our characters, to cleanse the soul temple of every defilement. Then the latter rain will fall upon us as the early rain fell upon the disciples on the Day of Pentecost. (5T 214.2) Rev. 13:15-17 The Test 3. 1844 NSL COP SC GET READY GET READY GET READY!

Mark 13:9-13 9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. 11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought before hand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 5. When is the Harvest? Quotation from the Spirit of Prophecy. (Note the yellow) "The tares and the wheat are to grow together until the harvest; and the harvest is the end of probationary time." COL 71.3 6. "The tares represent a class who are the fruit or embodiment of error, of false principles." COL 71 "There are two opposing influences continually exerted on the members of the church. One influence is working for the purification of the church, and the other for the corrupting of the people of God." TM 46 7. Image of the Beast to Be Formed "The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided." BC 7A - 976 8. "This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who prove 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." BC 7A - 976Mark of the beast is given at the National Sunday Law! 9. "I then saw the third angel. Said my accompanying angel, Fearful is his work. Awful is his mission. He is the angel that is to select the wheat from the tares, and seal, or bind, the wheat for the heavenly garner. These things should engross the whole mind, the whole attention. EW 118 10. Third Angel Causes separation After reading that statement we now fully understand that it is the Third Angel's message that causes the final separation! There's a shaking going in God's church right now...but at the Sunday Law there will be a separation. When the separation takes place we will then have a Whole Wheat Church! 11. Revelation 14:9-11 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12. Repent! Repent! Repent! 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. Acts 3:19 When does the times of refreshing come? AT THE NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW! 13.
