We are now identifying that one of the events represented by the seven thunders is the work of Christ gathering His people a second time, which He began to do in July, 2023. Millerite history identifies that this work is accomplished with the warfare of Islam as the backdrop of the message.

The message is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which is unsealed just before probation closes, but that message is carried by (placed within the context of) the message of the third woe. At the very time the Lord was stretching His hand a second time in 1849, Sister White was commenting upon the shaking of the angry nations, which is a symbol of Islam.

> “December 16, 1848, the Lord gave me a view of the shaking of the powers of the heavens. I saw that when the Lord said ‘heaven,’ in giving the signs recorded by Matthew, Mark, and Luke, He meant heaven, and when He said ‘earth’ He meant earth. The powers of heaven are the sun, moon, and stars. They rule in the heavens. The powers of earth are those that rule on the earth. The powers of heaven will be shaken at the voice of God. Then the sun, moon, and stars will be moved out of their places. They will not pass away, but be shaken by the voice of God.

> “Ní ọjọ́ kẹrìndínlógún, oṣù Kejìlá, ọdún 1848, Olúwa fi ìran kan hàn mí nípa ìgbọnrìgbì ti agbára àwọn ọ̀run.

> “Dark, heavy clouds came up and clashed against each other. The atmosphere parted and rolled back; then we could look up through the open space in Orion, whence came the voice of God. The Holy City will come down through that open space. I saw that the powers of earth are now being shaken and that events come in order. War, and rumors of war, sword, famine, and pestilence are first to shake the powers of earth, then the voice of God will shake the sun, moon, and stars, and this earth also. I saw that the shaking of the powers in Europe is not, as some teach, the shaking of the powers of heaven, but it is the shaking of the angry nations.” Early Writings, 41.

The historians confirm that what was shaking the nations of Europe in 1848, was the activities of the armies of Islam, for prophetically they are symbolized as the power that angers the nations. In the first witness to the Lord stretching out His hand a second time in the history of 1840 to 1844, the message of the Midnight Cry arrived at the Exeter camp meeting. From there unto October 22, 1844 the message swept across the eastern seaboard of the United States like a tidal wave. That movement had been typified by Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and it was an ass that carried Christ into Jerusalem.

Àwọn akọ̀rìn-itan fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ pé ohun tí ń mì àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè Europe ní ọdún 1848 ni iṣẹ́ àwọn ọmọ-ogun Islam, nítorí ní ti àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ a ṣe àpèjúwe wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí agbára tí ń mú kí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè bínú.

The message of the Midnight Cry represents the entire prophetic message of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, but that Revelation is placed within the context of Islam of the third woe angering the nations, for it is Islam that carries the message that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and He is bound to the message of the “ass.”

> Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. Genesis 49:8–12.

It is through Judah that “the gathering of the people” is accomplished. Christ, as Judah, is also the “Vine,” and the “choice vine,” is bound to the “ass’s colt.” His “garments” are washed in “wine,” which was “the blood of grapes.” Christ began shedding His blood in Gethsemane, when He sweat blood, and Gethsemane means the “olive press.” From Gethsemane to the cross He shed His precious blood to gather all men unto Himself.

Nípasẹ̀ Júdà ni “ìkójọ àwọn ènìyàn” ti ṣẹ. Kristi, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Júdà, tún jẹ́ “Àjàrà,” a sì so “àjàrà àyànfẹ́” mọ́ “ọ̀dọ́kẹ́tẹ́ akọ.” A fi “wáìnì” fọ “àwọn aṣọ” Rẹ̀, èyí tí ó jẹ́ “ẹ̀jẹ̀ àjàrà.” Kristi bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí í ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ Rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní Gẹtisémánì, nígbà tí ó rẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ̀, Gẹtisémánì sì túmọ̀ sí “ilé ìtẹ òlífì.” Láti Gẹtisémánì títí dé orí àgbélébùú Ó ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ iyebíye Rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ láti kó gbogbo ènìyàn jọ sọ́dọ̀ Ara Rẹ̀.

> Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die. John 12:31–33.

> Nísinsin yìí ni ìdájọ́ ayé yìí wà: nísinsin yìí ni a ó lé olórí ayé yìí jáde. Èmi sì, bí a bá gbé mi sókè kúrò ní ayé, èmi yóò fà gbogbo ènìyàn sọ́dọ̀ mi. Èyí ni ó sọ, ní fífi hàn ikú tí yóò kú. Johanu 12:31–33.

Christ’s work of drawing all men unto Himself is a twostep process, for He first gathers the “outcasts of Israel,” and then uses them as an ensign to draw His other flock.

> I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. John 10:14–16.

> Èmi ni olùṣọ́-àgùntàn rere, mo sì mọ àwọn àgùntàn mi, a sì mọ̀ mí. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Baba ti mọ̀ mí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi náà mọ Baba: mo sì fi ẹ̀mí mi lélẹ̀ nítorí àwọn àgùntàn náà.

The one hundred and forty-four thousand are the “sheep” who know Him. The “other sheep” are His flock that come out of Babylon when they see and hear the ensign. Before He lifts up His ensign, which are His sheep, He first gathers them a second time. That line of sacred history aligns with verses thirteen through fifteen of Daniel chapter eleven, and is therefore aligned with the hidden history of verse forty. It represents the line of the true Protestant horn which runs within the history of the apostate Protestant horn, the apostate Republican horn and the arrival of the whore of Tyre, just before the Sunday law of verse forty-one. The line of the true Protestant horn represents both the history and also the message where the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed.

The “outcasts of Israel” represent a line in contrast with the “assembly of mockers”, as Jeremiah identifies them, or as the “synagogue of Satan” as John identifies them in Revelation chapters two and three where the church of Smyrna and Philadelphia are addressed. The Philadelphians represent the “one hundred and forty-four thousand” of Revelation chapter seven, and Smyrna is “the great multitude” of the same chapter, who cannot be numbered. The two classes of redeemed in the last days are in controversy with those who lie, and who are in the synagogue of Satan, and claim they are God’s people, for they say they are Jews.

The line of the true Protestant horn consists of the controversy that exists between themselves and the former covenant people who are then being passed by. In the same history the faithful are also in controversy with the line of apostate Protestantism and Catholicism. Those three religious entities represent the dragon, the beast and the false prophet at the micro level within the line of the true Protestant horn.

> “I saw the nominal church and nominal Adventists, like Judas, would betray us to the Catholics to obtain their influence to come against the truth. The saints then will be an obscure people, little known to the Catholics; but the churches and nominal Adventists who know of our faith and customs (for they hated us on account of the Sabbath, for they could not refute it) will betray the saints and report them to the Catholics as those who disregard the institutions of the people; that is, that they keep the Sabbath and disregard Sunday.” Spalding and Magan, 1, 2.

We have dealt with this passage before, and in so doing identified that the expression “nominal church” and the expression “nominal Adventist” would have had a different meaning and application when Sister White penned the words. Yet the prophets spoke more for the last days than they did for their own history, so in this passage the nominal church in the last days would be apostate Protestantism. The word “nominal” means “in name only”.

The so-called Protestant church ceased to protest Rome in 1844, when they rebelled against entering into the Most Holy Place by faith, where they could have recognized the seventh-day Sabbath is the correct day of worship. Instead, they retained the worship of the sun, which is the mark of Catholicism. It is impossible to “protest” Rome, which is the only definition of the word “Protestant,” if you have accepted her symbol of authority, which the Roman church has repeatedly identified as her authority to change the day of worship in the Bible from the seventh-day Sabbath unto Sunday.

“Nominal Adventists” are those who profess to be Seventh-day Adventists, but they are also identified as Judas, who is the symbol of a disciple that has betrayed his profession. The nominal Seventh-day Adventist church will hate the “saints” and those saints “will” then “be an obscure people.” They hate the obscure saints, “on account of the Sabbath,” truth they cannot “refute.” The Sabbath truth in Sister White’s history was the seventh-day Sabbath, but it typifies the Sabbath truth of the last days, which cannot be refuted, and that is the doctrine that was first rejected by Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism in their rebellion in 1863. That doctrine was the first foundational truth discovered by William Miller, and it represents the foundational truths of Adventism that the nominal Adventists refuse to walk in, as represented by Jeremiah’s old paths. That Sabbath truth is the “seven times,” of Leviticus twenty-six.

The line of true Protestantism that is made up of Philadelphia and Smyrna are betrayed by those represented as Judas. Judas covenanted to betray Jesus three times, thus identifying a progressive betrayal that preceded and concluded at the cross. Verse sixteen of Daniel eleven represents the Sunday law, which was typified by the cross. Therefore, in the verses leading to the Sunday law of verse sixteen, which is also the Sunday law of verse forty-one, a three-step betrayal is brought upon the saints of the last days. The betrayal occurs during the period when the Lord is gathering His last-day ensign a second time.

And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. Isaiah 11:10–14.

Isaiah identifies the historical setting for this passage in verse ten, with the expression “in that day.” That “day” has therefore been identified in the verses that preceded verse ten. When we trace this particular prophetic narrative back to a reference that allows us to identify when “that day” is, we come to verse one, of chapter ten.

Sister White identifies the “unrighteous decree” of this verse as the soon coming Sunday law:

Arábìnrin White fi “àṣẹ àìṣòdodo” inú ẹsẹ yìí hàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí òfin Ọjọ́ Àìkú tí yóò dé láìpẹ́ yìí:

> “An idol sabbath has been set up, as the golden image was set up in the plains of Dura. And as Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, issued a decree that all who would not bow down and worship this image should be killed, so a proclamation will be made that all who will not reverence the Sunday institution will be punished with imprisonment and death. Thus the Sabbath of the Lord is trampled underfoot. But the Lord has declared, ‘Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and write grievousness which they have prescribed’ [Isaiah 10:1]. [Zephaniah 1:14–18]” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 92.

> “A ti gbé sábàtì òrìṣà kalẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí a ti gbé ère wúrà náà kalẹ̀ ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Dúrà.

[Zephaniah 1:14–18]” Manuscript Releases, volume 14, 92.

The context of the Lord gathering His people a second time is placed in the history of the approaching Sunday law crisis, for in verse twelve of chapter ten, Isaiah speaks of the Lord finishing a work among His people before He brings His executive judgment at the unrighteous decree, which is the Sunday law.

Ìtòlẹ́sẹẹsẹ níbi tí Olúwa ti máa kó àwọn ènìyàn Rẹ̀ jọ ní ìgbà kejì ni a ti fi sínú ìtàn ìṣòro òfin ọjọ́ Àìkú tí ń bọ̀, nítorí nínú ẹsẹ̀ kejìlá orí kẹwàá, Isaiah sọ̀rọ̀ nípa pé Olúwa yóò parí iṣẹ́ kan láàárín àwọn ènìyàn Rẹ̀ kí Ó tó mú ìdájọ́ ìmúlò Rẹ̀ wá lórí àṣẹ àìṣòdodo náà, èyí tí í ṣe òfin ọjọ́ Àìkú.

> Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. Isaiah 10:12.

> Nítorí náà yóò ṣẹlẹ̀ pé, nígbà tí Olúwa bá ti ṣe gbogbo iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ lórí òkè Síónì àti lórí Jérúsálẹ́mù, èmi yóò fi ìyà jẹ́ èso ọkàn líle ọba Ásíríà, àti ògo ìwò gíga ojú rẹ̀. Isaiah 10:12.

The “work upon Zion and on Jerusalem”, which the Lord “performs” before the punishment of the papacy begins at the Sunday law, is the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. In Ezekiel chapter nine, the man with the writer’s inkhorn goes through Jerusalem placing a mark upon those “that sigh and cry for the abominations done in the land” and in the church. That work includes the process of the Lord gathering together the outcasts of Israel a second time. He gathers them from the four corners of the earth, and the “four corners of earth” is represented by eight geographical areas. Eight is the symbol of the testing process of the image of the beast, thus identifying that the final gathering of those who would be the ensign takes place during the period when the image of the beast test is being accomplished in the earth.

“Iṣẹ́ lórí Sioni àti lórí Jerusalẹmu,” tí Olúwa “ń ṣe” kí ìjẹ̀bi ìjọ papacy tó bẹ̀rẹ̀ ní àkókò òfin Ọjọ́-Àìkú, ni fífìdìí ẹgbẹ̀rún ọgọ́rùn-ún méjìlélógójì [144,000] náà.

The unity represented by “Ephraim” “not envying Judah, and Judah” “not vexing Ephraim,” occurs when the adversaries of Judah are cut off. Prophetically, the former covenant people, represented by Judas, or the synagogue of Satan, or the assembly of mockers, or the Protestants of Millerite history, or the Jews of Christ’s history are “cut off” at the first disappointment. When Jeremiah represents that very history, he was instructed that he could never return to the assembly of mockers, though they could return to him if they chose to repent.

From July 18, 2020 unto the Sunday law the Lord gathers His last-day people a second time. He gathers them from around the world, during a period when He is finishing His whole work on Judah and Jerusalem. In that sealing time, God’s last-day people will be obscure, but will never-the-less be confronted by a threefold union which opposes their work.

Catholicism is the beast of the threefold union, and one of her daughters is the class Sister White identifies as the nominal church. They represent the false prophet. The nominal Laodicean Adventists, represented by Judas, are the dragon in this representation. The rebellion of 1863 was typified by the rebellion of ancient Israel at the first Kadesh, when they chose to reject the message of Joshua and Caleb and return to Egypt. Egypt is a symbol of the dragon.

> Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself. Ezekiel 29:2, 3.

> Ọmọ ènìyàn, dojú rẹ kọ Farao ọba Ejibiti, kí o sì sọtẹ́lẹ̀ sí i, àti sí gbogbo Ejibiti: Sọ, kí o sì wí pé, Bayi ni Olúwa Ọlọrun wí; Wò ó, èmi wà ní ìlòdì sí ọ, Farao ọba Ejibiti, ejò ńlá tí ó dùbúlẹ̀ ní àárín àwọn odò rẹ̀, ẹni tí ó ti wí pé, Odò mi jẹ́ ti tèmi fúnra mi, èmi ni sì ṣe é fún ara mi. Ìsíkíẹ́lì 29:2, 3.

The rebellion at Kadesh represented the tenth test in a testing process that brought about the rejection and death of the chosen people who had been brought out of Egypt, and typified the final test of a testing process that was brought upon Philadelphian Millerite Adventism on October 22, 1844 and concluded with the rebellion of 1863. At the very end of ancient Israel’s history, the Jews “cried out, ‘Away with him, away with him, crucify him’. Pilate saith unto them, ‘Shall I crucify your King?’ The chief priests answered, ‘We have no king but Caesar.’” In the first rebellion and the last rebellion the former covenant people chose to identify a symbol of the dragon (Egypt and pagan Rome) as their king.

On July 18, 2020, the “adversaries of Judah” were “cut off,” and the temple of the one hundred and forty-four thousand was set up. All that was left was for the temple to be cleansed, in advance of the Messenger of the Covenant suddenly coming to His temple. The temple of Millerite history was erected in forty-six years from 1798 unto 1844. At the first disappointment of April 19, 1844 the Protestants were cut off and became part of the synagogue of Satan, the assembly of mockers, a daughter of Rome. From that point until October 22, 1844 a purification process occurred in advance of the faithful following Christ into the Most Holy Place, that He might accomplish the work of joining His Divinity to their humanity.

The history of the true Protestant horn, that is gathered a second time just before the unrighteous decree, that they might be the ensign that God employs to call His other flock out of Babylon, occurs in the same period where the apostate Republican and Protestant horns are joining together, committing spiritual fornication, thus becoming one flesh, or one temple, which is the image of the beast. God’s temple is simultaneously forming the image of Christ.

> The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Stand in the gate of the Lord’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these. For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord.

And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
