loud cry message, and these other children of God that are outside the Adventist church will begin to come and stand with God's people. But during this time, Sister White is clear that the door is closed, and we're going to close here by looking at the closing of the door in prophecy. But the door is closed to the foolish virgins, just like it was closed to the foolish virgins in 1844. And remember, that will be fulfilled again in the very letter. But that passage that we just read, Sister White rephrases that in a few different places in the spirit of prophecy, and there's one that's pretty much the same passage, but I want to share it because she really locks it in that she's talking about probation. Matthew and Harold, November 22, 1906. Probationary time will not continue much longer. Now God is withdrawing his restraining hand from the earth. Long has he been speaking to men and women through the agency of his Holy Spirit, but they have not heeded the call. Now he is speaking to his people and to the world by his judgments. The time of these judgments is a time of mercy for those who have not yet had the opportunity to learn what is truth. Tenderly will the Lord look upon them. His heart of mercy is touched. His hand is stretched out to save. Large numbers will be admitted to the fold of safety who in these last days will hear the truth for the first time. We're talking about the close of probation here when we're talking about this door closing, and the door, she says, closed on those that would not enter in, and those that would not enter in are those that are illustrated in Ezekiel 8. There are those that are illustrated in Daniel 3 because Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were not the only Hebrews on the plain of Dura. They were simply the only Hebrews that had prepared for the test, and when the tests come, they were the only ones that had the experience to stand. Now, the close of the door in Bible prophecy is identifying the close of probation, and we'll close our study with just a few passages so we will make sure that this phrase is clearly identified as such. This is from the Desire of Ages, page 62 and 63, and the interesting part about this passage is Sister White's describing a time period when a door was closing on God's people, but it was opening to people outside of God's church, and this will be repeated at the Sunday Law when the door closes on God's people, but opens to the other sheep that are not of this fold that are in Babylon that respond to that fourth angel's message.
