To Bro. Eli Curtis
7
the voice of the Son of God, at the first resurrection; and all that were
raised at the second resurrection, were burnt up, and ceased to exist.
You think, that those who worship before the saint’s feet, (
Revela-
tion 3:9
), will at last be saved. Here I must differ with you; for God
shew me that this class were professed Adventists, who had fallen
away, and “crucified to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him
to an open shame.” And in the “hour of temptation,” which is yet to
come, to show out every one’s true character, they will know that they
are forever lost; and overwhelmed with anguish of spirit, they will bow
at the saint’s feet.
You also think, that Michael stood up, and the time of trouble
commenced, in the spring of 1844.
The Lord has shown me in vision, that Jesus rose up, and shut
the door, and entered the Holy of Holies, at the 7th month 1844; but
Michael’s standing up (
Daniel 12:1
) to deliver his people, is in the
future.
This, will not take place, until Jesus has finished his priestly office
in the Heavenly Sanctuary, and lays off his priestly attire, and puts on
his most kingly robes, and crown, to ride forth on the cloudy chariot,
to “thresh the heathen in anger,” and deliver his people.
Then Jesus will have the sharp sickle in his hand, (
Revelation
14:14
) and then the saints will cry day and night to Jesus on the cloud,
to thrust in his sharp sickle and reap.
This, will be the time of Jacob’s trouble, (
Jeremiah 30:5-8
) out of
which, the saints will be delivered by the voice of God.
I believe the Sanctuary, to be cleansed at the end of the 2300 days,
is the New Jerusalem Temple, of which Christ is a minister. The Lord
shew me in vision, more than one year ago, that Brother Crosier had
the true light, on the cleansing of the Sanctuary, &c; and that it was
his will, that Brother C. should write out the view which he gave us in
the Day-Star, Extra, February 7, 1846. I feel fully authorized by the
Lord, to recommend that Extra, to every saint.
I pray that these lines may prove a blessing to you, and all the dear
children who may read them.
