A Divine Romance Between the Son of God and His Protestant, peculiar treasure, His People, His Bride, the 144,000
A Divine Romance has been in progress since October 22, 1844 with a woman who is a symbol of the pure church, without spot or wrinkle. The church triumphant. God has been picking a Bride, the 144,000, for his Son during what is called the "investigative judgement" similar to when Queen Esther was chosen. "ONLY the cases of the professed people of God are considered at the investigative judgment" (The Great Controversy, p. 480.1). Those who surrender to him the fullest, the most willingly, obeying all His commands, trusting completely in His promises, are the prettiest, the most beautiful of all among God's professed people. Compare the selection of the Bride of Christ, the 144,000 to when Queen Vashti was chosen. The King wanted his wife to come and show Kings and the princes of the land her beauty, so today, God wants His people to show the princes of the land their beauty of the historical SDA belief lived out in their daily choices. But they refused and rejected his command. So another is chosen to take her place that will obey the King and obey his commands and show the great beauty of obeying the Ten Commandments and the faith of Jesus in their daily choices. The Son of God is wooing His Bride, the 144,000, his church triumphant into heaven, to the marriage taking place by faith, those faithful few who go by faith into the Most Holy Place, the second apartment in the Sanctuary, also called the "Bridal Chamber", the "Chuppa", the "Huppa" to be united with the Son of God in truth ("thy law is truth" Psalm 119:142) and righteousness for eternity.
The Bride has been making herself ready, since October 22, 1844. Like Queen Esther purified herself to go in before the King. Like Queen Esther, she desires to wear nothing except that which has been GIVEN her, provided by her beloved, the jewels that were in William Millers dream. Some of the jewels are no bigger than the head of a pin! The ornaments around the bride's neck are priceless. The ornaments around her neck, are the souls that she has won to Christ. The value of these souls are priceless. The Son of God and His Bride say "Come"... join us at at the banquet feast of truth prepared for the wise virgin Philadelphians, the church of brotherly love, the 144,000, the church triumphant in 1844, 1845, 1846, all who desire to put on the wedding garments of praise. The Bride is betrothed to the Son of God by a blood covenant. He is mine and I am His. We need to be prepared to stand alone for truth like Daniel, Job, Esther, etc. When we DO/LIVE the truth, ("thy law is truth" Psalm 119:142) this consummates the marriage in Heaven (Presence of Christ). Claim the Promises of God for perfection of Character per 2 Peter 1:4. Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37
WHO is THIS coming up since 1844 from the wilderness [obscurity/little known], leaning heavily upon her beloved? Song of Solomon 8:5. The 144,000, the Bride of Christ "Keep the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus" Rev 14:12. A New Song In My Heart, In My Daily Little Choices, My Habits. The Notes of the New Song that no one else could learn, that the 144,000 learn, are all the old landmark doctrines of the early SDA pioneers. Some of the notes in the song are no bigger than the "point of a pin" in William Miller's treasure dream: "some of the diamonds (old landmark doctrines) were not bigger than the point of a pin" William Miller's dream. The point of a pen, the writings of the early SDA Protestant pioneers.
Remember Queen Vashti who refused to show off her beauty at the command of the King? Now think of the offshoot SDA corporation setup in 1904, increasing and waxing stronger in apostasy in 1936, and 1950 "new organization" (1SM204) that have backslidden into the heathen doctrines that the early SDA Protestant pioneers came out of and have rejected and refused to show off the great beauty in their daily choices of the old historical truths setup in the beginning of Adventism by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
"The Lord Jesus will always have a chosen people to serve Him. When the Jewish people rejected Christ, the Prince of life, He took from them the kingdom of God [Christ in us the law of God in us=Holy Spirit] and gave it unto the Gentiles. God will continue to work on this principle with every branch of His work. When a church proves unfaithful to the word of the Lord, whatever their position may be, however high and sacred their calling, the Lord can no longer work with them. Others are then chosen to bear important responsibilities. But if these in turn do not purify their lives from every wrong action; if they do not establish pure and holy principles in all their borders, then the Lord will grievously afflict and humble them, and, unless they repent, will remove them from their place and make them a reproach" Manuscript Releases, Volume 14, p. 102 (Ellen G. White).
Scripture presents this close relationship between the Lamb and His bride by asking, “Who is this coming up from the wilderness (obscurity/little known), leaning upon her beloved?” (Song of Solomon 8:5)
The 144,000 are the bride of Christ because they have surrendered their will to His; they have trusted all of the promises. They have become strong in His strength; His righteousness is theirs.
The voice of the Heavenly Bridegroom falls lovingly on the ears of the bride: “You are all fair, my love, and there is no spot in you.” (Song of Solomon 4:7)
Song of Solomon 7:10 "I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me."
The Son of God says to the 144,000 today
"I love you, my bride; you are blameless"
in practicing (flying with) my pure doctrines,
the old landmarks of the early SDA pioneers.
Your mouth is wholly blameless, by my Son's Spirit's pow'r
coming up from the wilderness (tarrying time, obscurity, little known)
riding the wings of the 1843 and 1850 charts
astir on eagle wings of conquering speed
I have seen the Church in Heaven knit,
one heart (daily little choices) and one soul (character/habits/doctrines).
The heart (habits) of His Bride was beating in unison with the heart (habits)
of her beloved bridegroom, who said: "I love you with an eternal love.
Set me as a seal upon thy heart (desires, choices), as a seal upon thine hands."
I belong to my Beloved Bridegroom, and his desire is for me.
It was one of the characteristics of His redeemed bride,
the seal of her obedience by faith:
on the Blessed 7th day Sabbath,
she was sealed, blessed, chosen and hallowed (perfected)
by obedience to her beloved Bridegroom
on the special 7th day
She belongs to the Son of God,
to her bridegroom.
The Bride replied: "I love (obedience) Thee; I love (obedience) Thee, Lord!
Sabbathing, the Saint's seal of obedience by faith,
My belonging to Your Son, the Son of the one eternal God, my Creator.
To the Eternal God and Father of our Blessed Holy One
I bow on my knees, to the one and only eternal God and Father of my Bridegroom
The only eternal God of all creation, You I praise, and adore;
deep in love (obedience) I worship You in the Name of Your Son
Every Seventh-day I kneel,
Sabbathing to be with You.
As you give Yourself to me through your Only Begotten Son,
I do give myself to You though obedience to Your Only Begotten Word.
Then united (Rev 14:5) and reconciled back to You
I am blessed in sweet communion all the Sabbath day.
You I praise, and adore;
deep in love (soul, character, daily little choices/habits, obedience to the law of God)
I worship You.
The sweet Supernatural Spirit of Your Son given to me,
blesses me to be like You.
You're my spring of living water
You're my joy and balm of comfort
Please renew and sanctify me
by your Son's giving me Your Spirit filled Words,
on this blessed Sabbath day.
You, oh God I praise, and adore;
deep in love (obedience) I worship You.
Press Your Sabbath Seal Kiss
upon my heart's daily choices,
please kiss my daily little choices;
change me by Your Son's Spirits pow'r,
I belong to Your Son, my Creator.
I belong to Your Son, my Redeemer.
I'm Your creature, Your Beloved Son's possession
Your Son's inheritance, Your Son's eternal bride.
You I praise, and adore;
deep in love I worship You.
After probation closes, the Synagogue of Satan (Rev 2:9; 3:9), their FORMER BRETHREN (see the story of Joseph and his brothers who bowed to him and Joseph's dream predicting it) bows to worship at the feet of the Bride of Christ, the 144,000, who keep the Commandments of God and the Faith of Jesus.
