"The Ongoing Revelation of Truth: A Call for Humility and Thorough Examination"
Investigation of Doctrine.--There is no excuse for anyone in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. {CW 35.2}
We are living in perilous times, and it does not become us to accept everything claimed to be truth without examining it thoroughly; neither can we afford to reject anything that bears the fruits of the Spirit of God; but we should be teachable, meek and lowly of heart.
PURPOSE - To reveal that there’s an emergency call, an hour before the close of probation, the 11th hour servants of God who will finish the work of the Gospel of the Kingdom (Matt. 24:14).
INTRODUCTION:
There’s a need of a thorough investigation and dig deeper into the mine of truth, what has been vague will be cleared as we seek the guidance of the Spirit of Truth that jesus has promised (John 16:13).
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” {Matt. 24:14}
"The Eleventh Hour Call: The Coming of Souls from Every Denomination and the Fall of Those Who Reject the Light"
Many souls will come from other denominational churches, and at the eleventh hour will obey all the truth, because they have not set themselves in array against heaven's light, but lived up to all the light they had; while those who have had great light, large privileges and opportunities, and have failed to live in the light and walk in the light, will drop out by the way. Their light will shine less and less until their lamps will go out for the want of the oil of grace in their vessels with their lamps. --Letter 36a, 1890 {MR311 48.4}
"The Purification of the Church: From Lukewarmness to the Rise of the 11th Hour Workers"
IT 608 – “In the last vision given me, I was shown the starting fact that but a small portion of those who now profess the truth will be sanctified by it and be saved. Many will get above the simplicity of the work. They will conform to the world, cherish idols, and become spiritually dead. The humble, self sacrificing followers of Jesus will pass on to perfection, leaving behind the indifferent lovers of the world.”
Lukewarmness, worldliness, rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy, the 3 Angels’ message and the 4th Angels’ message - all amount to resignation from God’s Present Truth and His Favour - to be spewed out finally: This leads to the purification of the Church (Ezek.9) and birth of the 11th Hr. workers:
Fifth Call-Eleventh (11th ) Hour
Read Mal 3:1/Mal 4:5 and Rev 18:1 – EW 277 – “I saw another mighty angel commissioned to descend to the earth to unite his voice with the third angel and give power and force to his message….The work of this angel comes in at the right time to join in the last great work of the third angel’s message, as it swells to a loud cry .”
"Rejecting the Truth: Lessons from Joshua, Caleb, and the Wilderness"
G.C.B. MAY 9, 1892 (E G W – Melbourne, Australia)
“I saw that Jones and Waggoner had their counterpart in Joshua and Caleb. As the Children of Israel stoned the spies with literal stones, you have stoned these brethren with stones of sarcasm and ridicule. I saw that you willfully rejected what you knew to be truth, just because it was too humiliating to your dignity….I saw that if you had accepted their message, we would have been in the Kingdom two years from that date, but now we have to go back into the wilderness and there stay 40 years.”
Letter to E. E. Andross, Dec. 14, 1914
“I feel confidence, Elder Andross, that the brethren in Southern California will find blessing in the teaching of Scripture concerning the 144,000…” (through E.G. White’s 1st Secretary C.C. Crisler).
"The Elijah Messenger and the Harvest of Revelation 7"
6T 60 – “In the Revelation John says of the heavenly messenger who unite with the third angel” (Rev 18:1 quoted).
TM 475 – “Prophecy must be fulfilled…somebody is to come in the spirit and power of Elijah, and when he appears, men may say, ‘you are too earnest, you do not interpret the scriptures in a proper way. Let me tell you how to teach your message.”
Messenger-Elijah, in the person of V.T. Houteff in 1930 with the message of the Judgment of the Living. -which brings the 1st fruits (144,000), and 2nd fruits (the Great Multitude) of Rev 7:1-9.
"The 1930 Message of the 144,000: A Timely Call and Varied Responses"
On the dot of time – 1929-1930: A Sabbath School teacher in Los Angeles brought the message of the 144000 to the 1930 GC session held in California, but the G. C. Committee kept quiet for over year. Only Dr. Gilbert (rejected), Dr. Butterbough (accepted) and Pastor E.T. Wilson (accepted) replied as individuals.
Isa. 66:15-20: - “For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many…. And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations… and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. And they shall bring all your brethren [for] an offering unto the LORD out of all nations….. to my holy mountain Jerusalem…”
Let’s compere types and anti-types – Day and Night:
"The Seven Messages of Redemption: From Enoch to the Fourth Angel"
There are 5 messages in Matt.20 “Day” part. 5 is not a complete number. There must be two other messages in the “Night” part , Yes:
1. Jude 14 , 15/PP86 – Enoch’s Message.
2. Heb 11:7/PP 95-96 -Noah’s Message.
3. Moses’.
4. Christ’s.
5. Miller’s
6. E.G. White’s
7. V.T. Houteff’s
-That makes Elijah message the 4th Angel’s message to be the last message to the Church and to the world- it is followed by Judgment /Close of probation for the church.
"The Seven Movements of Salvation: From Adamic to the SDAs."
There are 4 movements in the ‘day’ part: There must be three movements in the night part:
1. Gen 1:26-28/PP 62 –Adamic Movement 2. Enoch’s
3. Noatic.
4. Mosaic
5. Early Christian.
6. Millerite
7. SDA.
This makes the SDA the last church which will soon be reorganized at the 11th hour so that it can finish the work in the world during the Loud Cry period (11th to 12th). God has no time to start another church. He will just purify the one has (:church Militant) to make it a pure church (TM 45/PP 725 - Church Triumphant).
"The Midnight Cry: Enoch, Miller, and the Judgment Hour of 1844"
The Judgment/2nd Advent - 6th Hour – day and night
Enoch’s and Miller’s -are misunderstood to be the 2nd coming - but more pointing to 1844 when Christ came in the Holy of Holies with the names of 10 thousands of His dead saints to investigate them. Miller’s called Midnight Cry: EW 277 -pointing to the type – Enoch at Midnight.
"The 9th Hour: Noah, Ellen G. White, and the Preaching of Earth's Final Crisis"
The 9th Hour.
Noah & E.G. White
Each preaching the end of the world in their own generations (Matt.24:36-39) when the world reaches the highest levels of apostasy.
"The Two Israels: From the Flesh to the Spirit in the Final Hours"
The two Israels

"The Divine Pattern: The Number Three as Christ's Signature Through Night and Day"
The number Three: night and day; is prominent – 3 being the number of Christ.
All labourers are associated with working 3hrs periods, meaning Christ is the controlling power in the 2 testaments or night and day parts.
"The 11th Hour Workers: The 144,000 as the Nucleus of the Kingdom of Glory"
The 11th hour workers are the 144,000 - they are the mustard seed or nucleus of the Kingdom of glory - they shall finish the work in 1 hour only:
