Dear friends,

As we explore the prophetic timeline laid out in Scripture, a profound truth is coming into focus—one that connects the past, present, and future in a remarkable way.

Hosea 6:2 states, "After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight." This verse carries a deep prophetic significance, especially when understood in light of 2 Peter 3:8 KJV: "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."

Starting from 31 AD, the year of Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, if we add two thousand years, we arrive at 2031 AD. This aligns perfectly with the "two days" in Hosea’s prophecy. However, Matthew 24:22 KJV reminds us that "except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened." This indicates that while we approach 2031, the tribulation will be cut short in righteousness, according to God’s merciful plan.

This truth is like the light shining ever brighter, revealing more of God’s plan as we draw closer to the end. The "casket of truth" found in William Miller's dream, first opened in 1843-1844, is being filled with even more people with beautiful gems of understanding, preparing us for the final events.

But where do we stand in this great battle? Consider the days of Noah. Just as Noah warned the antediluvians for 120 years, the GENERAL CONFERENCE Seventh-day Adventist corporate structure established in 1904 has had a similar warning period. From 1904 to 2024, we see 120 years of divine warning to this apostate system by the Wise 144,000 Virgins, the 144,000 in literal number. The message of repentance and reformation has been largely ignored, much like the warnings in Noah’s time.

We are now witnessing the final selection process of the 144,000, much like Esther’s preparation to become queen. Since October 22, 1844, during the investigative judgment, God has been sealing the 144,000—those who uphold the 7th-day Sabbath and the First Commandment (All Royal Ten Commandments and the faith of Jesus, Revelation 14:12), who enter by faith into the Most Holy Place, the bridal chamber. These 144,000 represent the Bride of Christ, the remnant church triumphant, whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

This number is nearly complete, and soon Jesus will stand up and declare, "It is done!" The years 2025 to 2031 align with the final tribulation, which will be mercifully shortened. I’m not setting dates or predicting the exact time, but I am pointing out that we are living in the very days when prophecy is being fulfilled before our eyes.

We are in the final stretch of this great controversy. The wise will prepare, entering the bridal chamber in the most holy place in the heavenly sanctuary by faith, while the foolish, like the antediluvians and the five foolish virgins, will find themselves shut out when the door of probation closes.

Let us choose to be among the wise, ready for the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. The time is near, and the signs are clear.

In Christ’s love,
Cindy Randolph

The 144,000: Modern Protestant Reformers, Prophets, Priests and Kings - The Reformation removed the sackcloth from the two witnesses (The Two Witnesses are the Bible's Old and New Testaments

Introduction

The 144,000, a special group sealed by God and standing with the Lamb, play a crucial role in the culmination of human history (Revelation 7:4; 14:1, KJV). Drawing parallels from Scripture and early Seventh-day Adventist Protestant pioneers [1840-1850 timeframe], the 144,000 can be likened to John the Baptist, Elijah, and Melchizedek, serving as modern reformers and prophets with the Spirit of Prophecy (Revelation 19:10)

Revelation 19:10 (KJV)

"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

Revelation 12:17 (KJV)

"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed [144,000], which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

Daniel: The Father of the 144,000, a Nation: A Prophetic Legacy

"They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee." - Psalm 83:2-5 (KJV) Daniel, who can be considered the father of the 144,000, faced immense trials when he was taken captive by the king of Babylon at the tender age of 17 and made a eunuch. Despite his distress at being a "dry tree," God promised him that he would stand in his lot at the end of days: "But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days" (Daniel 12:13 KJV). This prophetic assurance began to be realized in 1798 when the remnant little flock (144,000) was beginning to be raised up, as prophesied after the Dark Ages (538 AD to 1798 AD). Knowing that the prophecy of 70 years of captivity was about to be fulfilled, Daniel earnestly prayed for the deliverance of his people and sought forgiveness for their apostasy on their behalf.

The beginning of the end of time which began in 1798 AD when the remnant little flock (144,000) was first being raised up, as prophesied after the Dark Ages (538 AD to 1798 AD). Knowing that the prophecy of 70 years of captivity was about to be fulfilled, Daniel earnestly prayed for the deliverance of his people out of Babylon and sought forgiveness for their apostasy on their behalf.

(Note: Elder Otis Nichols, was born in 1798 AD, one of the early SDA Protestant pioneers, was a lithographer who made the 1850 Chart!)

The prophecy of 70 years of captivity, as foretold by the prophet Jeremiah and referenced by Daniel in his prayers, was fulfilled around 538 BC when Cyrus the Great, the Persian king, issued a decree allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, marking the end of the Babylonian captivity. Daniel's fervent prayers and unwavering faith set the stage for the birth of a nation that deeply understood the prophecies given to him by God. This nation, this people, similar to the City of Salem, keep the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus and are "born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:13). They will reign and rule the world for eternity, born of Daniel's spiritual legacy, proving that he is not a "dry tree" by faith. The 144,000, described as Kings, Priests, the Bride of Christ, and the Church Triumphant, are a remnant of God's people who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, standing as witnesses for God Himself, as foretold in Revelation 14:6-7: "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come."

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Timothy 1:17 KJV)

The Time of Great Persecution

The third woe (See the 1843 Chart and the 1850 Chart) was the period during which the witnesses prophesied covered with sackcloth. The Protestant Reformation removed the sackcloth (dark covering over the Bible) from the two witnesses [The Two Witnesses are The Old and New Testaments of the Bible]. From the close of the fourteenth century, when martyr (burned at the stake) Wycliffe's translation placed the Word of God in the hands of the common people of England, until the full dawn of the Reformation, the restraint which had long been placed upon the Scriptures was gradually removed. The light was spread largely through the schools. In Germany, the University of Wittenberg made the study of the Word its most prominent feature, and at the educational centers in England, Germany, and France, the heralds of truth received their inspiration and their training. In the preparation of laborers, the Scriptures formed the basis of all instruction; and as the classics and false sciences of the Dark Ages gave way to the Bible as a textbook, so the formal, lifeless methods of theological instruction were exchanged for teaching which fed the souls of the students. The remarkable swiftness with which society was remolded when the Word of God was restored is witnessed to by all historians. The historian, Ranke, states that in the short period of forty years the darkness had been broken from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, and Germany sat at the feet of Protestant teachers. Error trembled before a few teachers armed with the invincible Word of God. At this juncture, the speedy overthrow of the false system was prevented by a counter educational movement. The organization of the order of Jesuits, in reality a papacy of the papacy, sent into the world a body of active workers, shrewd, well-educated, and armed with the Word of God.

"For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder." - Nahum 1:13

"Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts." - Psalm 119:98-100

Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. - See Acts 19:19-20

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people. For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for? - Deuteronomy 4:6-8

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. - 2 Corinthians 11:13-15

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. - Titus 1:15

Revelation 12:4 (KJV) "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon [Satan and his agents] stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."

The story of Babylon the city, and again of Babylon the church, is the picture divinely given of a worldly life under the dominion of the power of the prince of this world. The little church, the 144,000, hidden from trouble during these last days, may seem to have lost much by following the Man of Nazareth; but their love of truth links their hearts with God, and they taste the joys of an endless life. The great controversy still continues; it ends in the overthrow of Babylon, the mother of harlots, and the confusion of Babel is replaced by the divine harmony, which, for six thousand years, has been marred by sin.

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee. - Psalm 83:2-5 (KJV)

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. - 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 (KJV)

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. - Philippians 3:8 (KJV)

Similarities to John the Baptist

John the Baptist served as a forerunner, preparing the way for Jesus Christ and calling people to repentance and faith (John 1:29, KJV). Similarly, the 144,000 prepare the world for Christ's second coming, urging repentance and allegiance to the Lamb (Revelation 14:4, KJV).

Resemblance to Elijah

Elijah confronted false prophets and called Israel to return to the true God (1 Kings 18:21, KJV). Likewise, the 144,000 confront apostasy and call people to worship the Creator (Revelation 14:6-7, KJV).

Reflection of Melchizedek

Melchizedek, a king and priest, blessed Abraham (Genesis 14:18-20, KJV). Similarly, the 144,000 are a royal priesthood who serve and reign with Christ (Revelation 5:10, KJV), reflecting Melchizedek's dual role.

The Seal of God and the 7th Day Sabbath

Obedience to the seventh-day Sabbath, the fourth commandment, is linked to receiving the seal of God (Exodus 20:8-11, KJV). The 144,000's mission includes calling people to keep the commandments of God, including the 7th Day Seal of God Sabbath, and to keep the faith of Jesus (Revelation 14:12, KJV).

Calling Out Apostasy

The 144,000 call people out of apostate churches, particularly the 501(c)3 General Conference Seventh-day Adventist churches, which have compromised their faith since 1844. They advocate for home churches focused on intense study of God's Word and the early SDA Protestant pioneers' writings that uphold true biblical teachings.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the 144,000 are modern Protestant reformers, prophets, priests, and kings, echoing the roles of John the Baptist, Elijah, and Melchizedek. Their mission is to prepare the world for Christ's return, emphasizing obedience to God's commandments, especially with special focus on the Sealing 7th Day Sabbath, claiming the Promises of God, the Word of God for perfection of character (2 Peter 1:4, 2 Corinthians 7:1, John 20:23, John 14:14) and separation from apostate churches. God's purpose in giving the Third Angel's Message is to prepare a people to stand true to Him during the investigative judgment and to prepare a people to stand without a mediator in the Most Holy Place during the time of Jacob's trouble and the seven last plagues. Like the reformers of old, they stand as a beacon of light in a world darkened by sin, calling all to repentance, faith, and obedience.

Imagine being part of the 144,000 in literal number who give and live the Third Angel's Message found in Revelation 14:9-13.

Isaiah's vision of the end-time saints as a wedding party going forth with lamps shining brightly is a powerful and captivating image of hope and triumph over darkness. In these times of confusion and despair, we are called to be the light that shines through the darkness and leads others to the glory of the Lord. We must strive with all our might to become one of the chosen ones, to lift up our eyes and see the gathering of the saints, and to become radiant and filled with joy as we prepare for the marriage supper of the Lamb. As Matthew 25:1-13 warns us, we must be prepared, with our lamps trimmed and burning, ready to enter into the wedding feast. This is not just a message for the prophets of old, but for us, the chosen ones of today. So let us arise and shine, for our light has come! Let us be the light in the darkness, and let us be counted among the 144,000 who will usher in the coming of our Lord and Savior.

The prophet Isaiah saw the end-time saints as a wedding party. He saw them going forth with lamps shining brightly, even in the midst of thick darkness. Everyone is to hear the last call to the marriage supper of the Lamb. . . . These words are for us!

Isaiah 60:1-5: "Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, The darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side. Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy." -Isa 60:1-5 NKJV

Hosea 6:2 goes on to say, "And on the third day He will raise us up" That we may live in His sight", indicating, as we shall see, that this revival will carry on into the Millennium.

The 144,000: A New Order of Priesthood and the Culmination of God's Plan of Salvation

Melchizedek, the king of Salem and high priest of God, appears in the Old Testament as a type of Christ. Similarly, the 144,000 are seen as a group of people who have been sealed and are presented blameless before the throne of God. Just as Melchizedek was a mediator between God and Abraham, so too are the 144,000 a group of people who stand as mediators between God and humanity, proclaiming the sealing Sabbath message of healing and salvation.

The sealing Sabbath message is symbolized by the oil and the wine, which represent the Holy Spirit and the blood of Christ. This message is intricately linked to the 2300 days prophecy (Daniel 8:14) and the investigative judgment that began October 22, 1844 and continues until 144,000 literal number of Kings and Priests are made up. 1 Kings 18:44 (KJV) states: "And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand." This hand is the hand of Elder James S. White, commissioned by God, and is similar to Moses and Noah, to write 'The Present Truth' articles. Truth is the slaughter weapon that disinigrates and smashes error. Jesus is The Way, The Truth and the Life (John 14:6).

'The Present Truth' articles fulfill Ezekiel 9:2-3, 11 and are the slaughter weapon that ushers in the Kingdom of Heaven. The phrase "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever" is found in Revelation 11:15 (KJV). This verse is part of the seventh trumpet judgment, where loud voices, the Loud Cry proclaims the sovereignty of God and Christ over all earthly kingdoms, signifying the ultimate triumph and eternal reign of Christ. Jesus is Coming Again SOON! Are you ready?

This 144,000 in number also represents the Bride of Christ, the remnant church triumphant, the Philadelphian church of brotherly love. This investigative judgment is a time of cleansing for God's people, as they come before the Most Holy Place in the heavenly sanctuary and have their sins blotted out. The message of the sealing Sabbath, which incorporates the truth about God and his son, is essential for those who wish to be among the 144,000 and have their sins forgiven.

The 144,000 are a new order of priesthood, much like Melchizedek, who was not of the priestly tribe of Levi but was a priest of the Most High God. They are chosen by God through the investigative judgment and are presented as a holy and blameless people. As the final group to be sealed, they represent the culmination of God's plan of salvation for humanity. The closing of probation for God's people who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus is a momentous event, and the message of the sealing Sabbath is essential for all who wish to be a part of it.

"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
