Welcome to 144,000 Remnant Seventh-day Advent Church Triumphant
A Final Warning Message to the World
The Present Truth: A Legacy of Faith and Miracles
In July of 1849, James White packed copies of “The Present Truth” into a borrowed carpetbag and trekked eight miles to the post office in Middletown, Connecticut. This marked the humble beginnings of a global publishing ministry.
Weeks earlier, the young, penniless Seventh-day Adventist pioneer had persuaded a local publisher to print 1,000 copies of the first issue on credit, trusting that donations from Sabbatarian Adventists would cover the $64.50 printing costs. His faith was rewarded, and “The Present Truth” became an instrumental force in uniting and growing the early numbers of the 144,000 movement.
Miraculous Beginnings
When God is behind something, what seems impossible is merely an opportunity for a miracle. 'The Present Truth' articles messages, not only gathered the scattered Seventh Day Sabbatarian's who believed in the 2nd Advent of Christ but also united them, helping to form the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the 1860s. Early church periodicals were crucial in evangelism and provided a sense of community among believers.
By October 22, 1844, known as "The Great Disappointment," early believers had already distributed millions of pieces of literature. Although disheartened by the mistaken event, this led to a deeper understanding for the Millerites, who later became Seventh-day Adventists. They realized that instead of Christ returning to earth, He had moved from the Holy Place to the Most Holy Place in the Heavenly Sanctuary to receive His kingdom from His Father. This event initiated the numbering of those who believed and kept the 7th-day Sabbath, sealing them as part of the 144,000.
This 144,000 brides of Christ, his remnant church triumphant contest has been going on since October 22, 1844! We all love a Royal Wedding to Commoners! This compares to the selection process of Queen Esther! It is the beauty pageant of beauty pageants! This beauty pageant is about who has the most beautiful character because when we obey all Ten Commandments and have the Faith of Jesus our character is beautiful on the inside, it also shines out on our face, in our words and in our actions. We get to claim the beautiful robes of Christ's Righteousness as ours and claim the exceedingly great and precious promises of God for perfection of character as 2 Peter 1:4 and 2 Cor 7:1 state. Ellen White’s vision that her husband was to start writing a little paper led to the creation of “The Present Truth,” which she saw as streams of light ever growing and spreading worldwide to every nation, kindred, and tongue and people.
A Platform for Doctrinal Clarity
“The Present Truth” clarified what had happened in 1844 and introduced emerging doctrines such as the Three Angels' Messages, claiming Bible verse promises for miracles and the Sealing 7th day Sabbath truth and caused the 144,000 to start to be numbered by those who kept and restored the trodden down 7th day Sealing Sabbath that God said to "Remember". What a glorious privilege to be able to join the 144,000 in number and become a bride of Christ for eternity all for keeping the 4th commandment and the other 9 commandments! It played a pivotal role in establishing the beginning numbers of the 144,000.
In 1853, concerned about the Sabbath being violated by their current publisher, Elder James White, who is similar to Moses to the 144,000 established their own publishing house in New York. Here, pioneers like Hiram Edson worked tirelessly, often under challenging conditions, to produce and distribute literature that upheld the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus (Revelation 14:12).
Expansion and Innovation
As the church grew, so did its publishing efforts. By 1855, the publishing ministry had moved to Battle Creek, Michigan. Under the leadership of young editor Uriah Smith, the church’s publishing work expanded significantly. George King later innovated the subscription sale model, which propelled the Seal of God 7th day Bible Sabbath and 2nd Advent of Christ message across the America and Canada, contributing to the global spread of the Seventh day sealing message and the soon 2nd Advent of Christ truths.
Continued Legacy
James White, who faced numerous challenges in his publishing endeavors, would likely be amazed and pleased with the widespread support and technological advancements in publishing today. His vision has indeed become a reality, with publishing houses now printing in a day what once took years and making 'The Present Truth' available worldwide in an instant when it went live on 144000.com.
