5. Everything that can be done against God's message of today will be
done with even a greater vengeance than was manifest against
Heaven's message in the days of Christ's first advent, for the Devil
knows that if he loses now, he loses forever -- that he is to have no
other chance. Unparalleled, therefore, is the urgency that every
eleventh-hour church member now quickly and solidly brace himself
against the Enemy's effort to deliver a knockout
blow. We must be alert, too, to realize that the blow is to come
from surprisingly unsuspected foes -- from professed friends of the
gospel, who are no less pious than were priests in Christ's day. It is,
moreover, but to be expected that the Adversary will employ every
agency possible to prevent the Lord from disclosing to view His
now obscure 144,000 first-fruit servants, who are to go gather in
the second fruits (Rev. 7:9). The Enemy will try everything
conceivable to confuse, becloud, and cover up the Truth, especially
on the subject of the 144,000. {WHR: 33.2}

10. Dan. 2:17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing
known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
Dan. 5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and
understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences,
and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king
named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show the
interpretation.
Dan. 5:13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. [And] the
king spake and said unto Daniel, [Art] thou that Daniel, which [art] of
the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought
out of Jewry?

12. Everything that can be done against God's message of today will
be done with even a greater vengeance than was manifest against
Heaven's message in the days of Christ's first advent, for the Devil
knows that if he loses now, he loses forever -- that he is to have no
other chance. Unparalleled, therefore, is the urgency that every
eleventh-hour church member now quickly and

14. "Are we giving the 11th hour message now or will it not be given until
after the fulfillment of Eze. 9? Has the angel that is to lighten the earth
with his glory (E.W. 277) already come?" If the questioner will consult
the chart on page 224 of Vol. 2 of the SRod, he will observe that the
angels of Rev. 7 and 18 are represented as coming at the 11th hour,
and as we are in the sealing time, it proves that we are now in the 11th
hour. {1SC6: 10.9}
Concerning the angel of Rev. 18:1, with whose glory the earth is to be
lightened, we do not claim to have as yet all his light, nor do we
believe that the earth is at present lightened with his glory. But we do
maintain that a large part of that light has already been revealed and
that as soon as the 144,000 are sealed and the church is purified by the
separation of the sinners from "the midst thereof" by the men with
slaughter weapons as described in Ezekiel's vision, the earth will then
be lightened as the 144,000 go forth proclaiming the message to all
nations. (Isa. 66:19, 20.) {1SC6: 10.10}

15. Through this personified prophecy, we see that the Lord is not
now calling forth a "new" denomination, even though the
ministry continues to take the membership rights from the
adherents of this reformatory message. Consequently, for its
successful delivery to the entire sisterhood of churches, our
banding ourselves into a body of workers as a movement
within a movement, has been forced upon us. In brief, we
are to confine our message strictly to the old organization, as
did the apostles with their message. For the first three and a
half years after the resurrection, they were commissioned to
put forth all their effort in behalf of their parent organization
only, the last in the Old Testament period; likewise, the
Davidians are commissioned to put forth an all-out effort in
behalf of their parent, the Laodicean organization, the last in
the New Testament period. {TN4: 57.4}

16. Consequently, as our leading brethren have inadvertently
shown themselves unworthy stewards of God's "storehouse"
for the time of the "Loud Cry of the Third Angel's Message,"
He has transferred the "candlestick" and is also calling for
the tithes and offerings to be transferred into "His
storehouse" of Present Truth. {TN4: 66.3}

17. Certainly then this move could be a signpost to both
Davidians and to Laodiceans that the eleventh-hour message
is on the very verge of a final and all-out effort to reclaim the
church from the hands of the Enemy. {10SC1: 5.4}
