The guests are not the bride:
"The guests at the marriage feast are those who profess to be the friends of Christ, but who do not bear His likeness. It is the privilege of every soul to become a bride of Christ. But those who are content with the relationship of a guest, are not in union with Him." (Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 307)
"The guests at the marriage feast are those who profess to serve God, those whose names are written in the book of life. But they are not the bride. The parable of the wedding garment opens before us a lesson of the highest consequence. By the marriage is represented the union of humanity with divinity; the wedding garment represents the character which all must possess who shall be accounted fit guests for the wedding." Ellen G. White, Christ's Object Lessons, p. 307
"Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts. For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:" Isaiah 28:9, 10

“Those who are engaged in proclaiming the third angel’s message are searching the Scriptures upon the same plan that Father Miller adopted." — Ellen G. White, Review and Herald, November 25, 1884.
In the little book entitled Views of the Prophecies and Prophetic Chronology, Father Miller gives the following simple but intelligent and important rules for Bible study and interpretation:
“‘1. Every word must have its proper bearing on the subject presented in the Bible; 2. All Scripture is necessary, and may be understood by diligent application and study; 3. Nothing revealed in Scripture can or will be hid from those who ask in faith, not wavering; 4. To understand doctrine, bring all the scriptures together on the subject you wish to know, then let every word have its proper influence; and if you can form your theory without a contradiction, you cannot be in error; 5. Scripture must be its own expositor, since it is a rule of itself. If I depend on a teacher to expound to me, and he should guess at its meaning, or desire to have it so on account of his sectarian creed, or to be thought wise, then his guessing, desire, creed, or wisdom is my rule, and not the Bible.’
“The above is a portion of these rules; and in our study of the Bible we shall all do well to heed the principles set forth.” — Review and Herald, November 25, 1884
Genuine faith is founded on the Scriptures; but Satan uses so many devices to wrest the Scriptures and bring in error, that great care is needed if one would know what they really do teach. It is one of the great delusions of this time to dwell much upon feeling, and to claim honesty while ignoring the plain utterances of the word of God because that word does not coincide with feeling. Many have no foundation for their faith but emotion. Their religion consists in excitement; when that ceases, their faith is gone. Feeling may be chaff, but the word of God is the wheat. And "what," says the prophet, "is the chaff to the wheat?"
None will be condemned for not heeding light and knowledge that they never had, and they could not obtain. But many refuse to obey the truth that is presented to them by Christ's ambassadors, because they wish to conform to the world's standard; and the truth that has reached their understanding, the light that has shone in the soul, will condemn them in the Judgment. In these last days we have the accumulated light that has been shining through all the ages, and we shall be held correspondingly responsible. The path of holiness is not on a level with the world; it is a way cast up. If we walk in this way, if we run in the way of the Lord's commandments, we shall find that the 'path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.'" — Review and Herald, November 25, 1884, par. 26-27

The 144,000, a special group of Protestant Reformers, similar to Martin Luther, John Calvin, and many more, are 7th day Sabbath 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."
2 Peter 1:21 (KJV)
"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
John 6:63 (KJV)
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, THEY ARE spirit, and THEY ARE life."
(Emphasis added)
2 Corinthians 3:17 (KJV)
"Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty."
(Emphasis added)
Romans 8:9 (KJV)
"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his."
(Emphasis added)
1 Peter 1:10-11 (KJV)
"Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow."
1 Corinthians 1:24 (KJV)
"But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the POWER of God, and the WISDOM of God."
1 Corinthians 12:3 (KJV)
"Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost."
Revelation 22:9 (KJV)
"Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God."
John 15:26 (KJV)
The Son of God said, "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me."
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 Sealing Sabbath, and to have faith in 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.
