- I am the resurrection, and the life
- (John 1125), He summoned these saints from the
grave. When alive, they had borne their testimony
unflinchingly for the truth now, they were to be
witnesses to Him who had raised them from the
dead. These, said Christ, are no longer the
captives of Satan. I have redeemed them I have
brought them from the grave as the first fruits
of My power, to be with Me where I am, nevermore
to see death or experience sorrow. During His
ministry, Jesus raised the dead to life. He
raised the son of the widow of Nain, the daughter
of Jairus, and Lazarus but these were not
clothed with immortality. After they were raised,
they continued to be subject to death. But those
who came forth from the grave at Christ's
resurrection were raised to everlasting life.
They were the multitude of captives that ascended
with Him as trophies of His victory over death
and the grave.
8- DESIRE OF AGES, p. 833
- The voice of God is heard proclaiming that
justice is satisfied. Satan is vanquished.
Christ's toiling, struggling ones on earth are
"accepted in the Beloved." Ephesians 16. Before
the heavenly angels and the representatives of
unfallen worlds, they are declared justified.
Where He is, there His church shall be. "Mercy
and truth are met together righteousness and
peace have kissed each other." Psalm 8510. The
Father's arms encircle His Son, and the word is
given, "Let all the angels of God worship Him."
Hebrews 16. - NB WITH REGARD TO THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST
BIBLICAL VIEW IS CONCERNEDARE THE 24 ELDERS
AMONG THIS GROUP THAT RESURRECTED WITH JESUS? - SEVERAL REASONS24 ELDERS WERE NOT AMONG THEM
- WHEN JESUS ASCENDED INTO HEAVENTHE 24 ELDERS
WERE ALREADY THERE (REVELATION 51-8). - THE 24 ELDERS ARE REPRESENTATIVES OF UNFALLEN
WORLDS (REVELATION 44).

- HOW DO WE UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS IS THE FIRSTFRUIT

19THE SPECIAL RESURRECTION

- ACCORDING TO REVELATION 17THIS EVENT IS
HAPPENING WHEN? - AT CHRIST SECOND COMING!
-
- SO, IS THERE A SPECIAL GROUP THAT WILL RESURRECT
PRIOR TO JESUS RETURN? - YESWHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE?
- READ MATTHEW 2337-39
20DESIRE OF AGES, p. 580
- Then will be fulfilled the words of Christ to
the priests and Pharisees "Ye shall not see Me
henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that
cometh in the name of the Lord." Matthew 2339.
In prophetic vision Zechariah was shown that day
of final triumph and he beheld also the doom of
those who at the first advent had rejected
Christ "They shall look upon Me whom they have
pierced, and they shall mourn for Him,"
Zechariah 1210.
21GREAT CONTROVERSY, p. 662
- At the close of the thousand years, Christ again
returns to the earth. He is accompanied by the
host of the redeemed, and attended by a retinue
of angels. As he descends in terrific majesty, he
bids the wicked dead arise to receive their doom.
They come forth, a mighty host, numberless as the
sands of the sea. What a contrast to those who
were raised at the first resurrection!
22GREAT CONTROVERSY, p. 662
-
- Every eye in that vast multitude is turned to
behold the glory of the Son of God. With one
voice the wicked hosts exclaim, Blessed is He
that cometh in the name of the Lord! It is not
love to Jesus that inspires this utterance. The
force of truth urges the words from unwilling
lips. Christ descends upon the Mount of Olives,
whence, after his resurrection, he ascended, and
where angels repeated the promise of his return.
23WHAT DOES THE WICKED (SPECIAL RESURRECTION) HAVE
TO DO WITH DYING THREE TIMES?
24JESUSSITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF WHOM?
- WHERE DID JESUS SIT WHEN HE WENT TO HEAVEN AFTER
HIS DEATH? - HE SAT WITH HIS FATHER ON HIS THRONE!
- NOTE AFTER 1000 YEARSJESUS SITS ALONE ON HIS
WHITE THRONE - REVELATION 2011-14
- NOTE THIS CONFRONTATION IN
- MATTHEW 2662-64 IS NOT REFERRING TO AN EVENT
AFTER THE 1000 YEARS
25WHY NOT?
- BECAUSE CAIAPHASTHE HIGH PRIEST WILL BE DEAD AT
THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRISTSO HE MUST HAVE
BEEN RESURRECTED FOR JESUS STATEMENT TO HAVE
COME TRUE! - NB IN THE SPECIAL RESURRECTIONTHE WORST OF THE
ENEMIES OF THE TRUTH AND OF JESUS CHRIST ARE
GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT RESURRECTION.
26THE SPECIAL RESURRECTION AND THE RIGHTEOUS DEAD
- READ REVELATION 1413
- Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from
henceforth - WHATS THE CONTEXT HERE?
- THESE ARE THOSE WHO DIED UNDER THE PREACHING OF
THE THIRD ANGELS MESSAGE, WHY? -
- BECAUSE VERSE 12 OF CHAPTER 14 ENDS THE
PREACHING OF THE THIRD ANGELS MESSAGE.
27THE SPECIAL RESURRECTION AND THE RIGHTEOUS DEAD
- READ REVELATION 1414
- And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon
the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man,
having on his head a golden crown, and in his
hand a sharp sickle. - WHAT IS THIS EVENT DESCRIBING?
- IS THERE A SPECIAL BLESSING PRONOUNCED ON THOSE
WHO DIED UNDER THE PROCLAMATION OF THE THIRD
ANGELS MESSAGE?
28THE WORD BLESSED
- WHERE HAVE WE COME ACROSS THIS WORD BLESSED IN
SOME OTHER PLACE IN THE BIBLE, REFERRING TO THE
SAME CONTEXT? - READ DANIEL 1211, 12
-
29THE WORD BLESSED
- DANIEL 1212
- Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the
thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. - REVELATION 1413
- And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth Yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labours and their works
do follow them.
30WHY WOULD THIS VERSE SAY THIS?
- DANIEL 1212
- Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the
thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. - NB IN DANIEL 127, 111260 YEARS (TIME, TIMES
AND AN HALF OR 3 1/2 YEARS OR 42 MONTHS) REFERS
TO THE DOMINION OF THE LITTLE HORN (THE PAPACY).
1290 DAYS BEGAN IN THE YEAR 508WHEN CLOVIS (KING
OF THE FRANKS)
31DANIEL 127, 11, 12 REVELATION 1413
- ...GAVE THE KEYS OF THE CONQUERED CITIES OF HIS
KINGDOM, THAT HE CONQUERED, TO THE BISHOP OF
ROME. -
- AND IF YOU GO FROM 508 FORWARD UNTO 1000
YEARSYOU WILL COME TO 1798. BESIDES, THE 1335
DAYS (DANIEL 1212) ALSO BEGINS IN 508, AND WOULD
END IN 1844. WHAT HAPPENED IN 1844? -
- ALSO, THE THIRD ANGELS MESSAGE OF REVELATION
1413 BEGINS BY SAYING, BLESSED AND DANIEL
127, 11, 12 ALSO BEGINS BY SAYING, BLESSED.
32SIMILAR TIME APLLICATION IN RELATION TO THIS DATE
PERIOD
- REVELATION 1413
- DANIEL 127, 11, 12
- REVELATION 105, 6
33ARE THESE PREVIOUS TEXTS REFERRING TO THE END OF
TIME?
- NO! (TIME NO LONGER)
- TWO REASONS
- THIS IS HAPPENING IN THE PERIOD OF THE SIX
TRUMPETAND THE END OF THE KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD
DOES NOT COME TO AND END UNTIL THE SEVENTH
TRUMPET. - TIME STILL LINGERS FROM THE SIX TRUMPET ALL THE
WAY TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SEVENTH TRUMPET.
34ARE THESE TEXTS REFERRING TO THE END OF TIME?
- NO! (TIME NO LONGER)
-
- EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
ANGEL SAYS THAT TIME WILL BE NO LONGER, WE ARE
TOLD IN REVELATION 113, 4 THAT THE TWO WITNESSES
MUST PROPHESY AGAIN. -
- HENCE, REVELATION 106 REFERS TO A PARTICULAR
BIBLE PROPHECY, AND NOT TO THE END OF THE WORLD. - AND WHICH BIBLE PROPHECY IS THAT REFERRING TO?
35THE 2300 DAYS PROPHECY!
- REVELATION 105,6
- HAS TO DO WITH THE LITTLE BOOK
36AND WHERE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT DO WE FIND A
LITTLE BOOK THAT WAS SHUT?
- DANIEL CHAPTERS 8-12
- (2300 DAYS PROPHECY)
- DANIEL 124, 9 (SAYS THE SAME THING)
- And he said, Go thy way, Daniel for the words
are closed up and sealed till the time of the
end. - NOTE WHEN THE 2300 DAYS PROPHECY COMES TO AN
END, THERE ARE NO REMAINING TIME PROPHECIES. 1844
WAS THE LAST ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.
THEREFORE, THATS WHY, DATES SUCH AS 1260, 1290,
AND 1335, CANNOT APPLY TO FUTURE TIME PROPHECIES.
37- Three Time Prophecies. These are the prophecies
that are confusing. "Then I heard the man
clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the
river, when he held up his right hand and his
left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives
forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and
half a time and when the power of the holy
people has been completely shattered, all these
things shall be finished." "... from the time
that the continual burnt offering is taken away,
and the abomination that makes desolate is set
up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and
ninety days. Blessed is he who waits and comes to
the thousand three hundred and thirty five days.
" - (Daniel 12 7, 11, 12)
- 1260 days. This is a period of persecution
("time, times and half a time"). - 1290 days. This marks a period of supremacy when
the abomination of desolation removes the
continual. - 1335 days. This appears to be an extension of the
1290 year period. At the end, the people of God
are rewarded. - These time periods are based on Daniel 11 31
which is a list of events. The order is given in
Daniel 12 as an enlargement of this verse.
38DANIEL 1212
- Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the
thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. - AND WHY ARE THEY BLESSED?
- REVELATION 1413
- And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord from henceforth Yea, saith the Spirit, that
they may rest from their labours and their works
do follow them.

40BECAUSE THEY WILL BE WITNESSES OF THE LORDS
COMING IN THAT SPECIAL RESURRECTION!
41HAVE WE ALREADY READ ABOUT THOSE WHO WOULD COME
TO SHAME AND EVERLASTING CONTEMPT?
- WHO ARE THOSE PEOPLE?
- SOME (WICKED) OF THOSE WHO PIERCED AND
CRUCIFIED HIM (JESUS).
42- SOME (RIGHTEOUS) OF THOSE RIGHTEOUS BLESSED ARE
THOSE WHO REACHED UNTO THE 1335 DAYS. DANIEL
1212 - BOTHSOME OF THE RIGHTEOUS AND WICKED WILL BE IN
THAT SPECIAL RESURRECTION.
43AND IN DANIEL 121, 2WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
- A SERIES OF EVENTS HAPPENS IN QUICK SUCCESSION
- MICHAEL STANDS UP
- THE TIME OF TROUBLE SUCH AS WAS NEVER BEFORE
SEENIS FULFILLED - GODS PEOPLE WILL BE DELIVERED
- RESURRECTION OF TWO GROUPS
- THOSEEVERLASTING LIFE..
- THE OTHERTO SHAME AND EVERLASTING CONTEMPT
44GREAT CONTROVERSY, pp. 637, 640
- THE SPECIAL RESURRECTION
- Graves are opened, and many of them that sleep
in the dust of the earth awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to shame and
everlasting contempt. Daniel 122. All who
have died in the faith of the third angel's
message come forth from the tomb glorified, to
hear God's covenant of peace with those who have
kept his law. They also which pierced Him,
Revelation 17. those that mocked and derided
Christ's dying agonies, and the most violent
opposers of his truth and his people, are raised
to behold him in his glory, and to see the honor
placed upon the loyal and obedient.
45- The voice of God is heard from Heaven,
declaring the day and hour of Jesus coming, and
delivering the everlasting covenant to his
people. Like peals of loudest thunder, his words
roll through the earth. The Israel of God stand
listening, with their eyes fixed upward. Their
countenances are lighted up with his glory, and
shine as did the face of Moses when he came down
from Sinai. The wicked cannot look upon them. And
when the blessing is pronounced on those who have
honored God by keeping his Sabbath holy, there is
a mighty shout of victory. - GREAT CONTROVERSY, p. 644
- Those who would have destroyed Christ and his
faithful people, now witness the glory which
rests upon them. In the midst of their terror
they hear the voices of the saints in joyful
strains exclaiming, Lo, this is our God we have
waited for him, and he will save us. Isaiah
259.
46- Amid the reeling of the earth, the flash of
lightning, and the roar of thunder, the voice of
the Son of God calls forth the sleeping saints.
He looks upon the graves of the righteous, then
raising his hands to heaven he cries, Awake,
awake, awake, ye that sleep in the dust, and
arise! Throughout the length and breadth of the
earth, the dead shall hear that voice and they
that hear shall live. And the whole earth shall
ring with the tread of the exceeding great army
of every nation, kindred, tongue, and people.
From the prison-house of death they come, clothed
with immortal glory, crying, O death, where is
thy sting? O grave, where is the victory? 1
Corinthians 1555. And the living righteous and
the risen saints unite their voices in a long,
glad shout of victory. All come forth from their
graves the same in stature as when they entered
the tomb. Adam, who stands among the risen
throng, is of lofty height and majestic form, in
stature but little below the Son of God.
47SO WHATS THE PURPOSE OF THE SPECIAL RESURRECTION?
- TWO REASONS
-
- WITH REGARD TO THE SPECIAL EVENTS THAT WILL
UNFOLDTHOSE WHO HAVE GONE THROUGH THE GREAT
TRIBULATION AND DIED UNDER THE PREACHING OF THE
THIRD ANGELS MESSAGEGOD WILL ALLOW THEM TO SEE
HIM (JESUS) RETURNING IN THE CLOUDS - THE WICKED BELIEVED THEY WERE RIGHT AND GODS
PEOPLE WERE WRONG. HENCE, GOD WILL MAKE THOSE OF
THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN (UNRIGHTEOUS RELIGIOUS
WORLDREVELATION 39) COME AND FALL DOWN AT HIS
FEET AND WORSHIP HIM.
48IS ELLEN G. WHITE GOING TO BE AMONG THE 144, 000?
- EARLY WRITINGS, p. 40
- I begged of my attending angel to let me remain
in that place. I could not bear the thought of
coming back to this dark world again. Then the
angel said, You must go back, and if you are
faithful, you, with the 144,000, shall have the
privilege of visiting all the worlds and viewing
the handiwork of God. - WHY WOULD ELLEN G. WHITE BE WITH AND NOT AMONG
THE 144, 000? - ANS. BECAUSE SHE DIED AFTER 1844.
49SOMETHING WORTH REMEMBERING
- NOTE
- THE SAINTS WHO ARE DELIVERED ARE THE 144,
000AND AT THE SAME TIME, YOU HAVE THE SPECIAL
RESURRECTION OF THE RIGHTEOUS (SPECIAL GROUP) WHO
PREACHED THE THIRD ANGELS MESSAGE, AND STOOD
BEFORE THE BEAST, AND HIS IMAGE. THEY REFUSED TO
RECEIVE HIS MARK, WHEN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD SAID,
THAT GODS PEOPLE WERE WRONG, AND THEY WERE
RIGHT! THEY (THE UNRIGHTEOUS RELIGIOUS WORLD)
WILL STAND WITH THE 144, 000 FOR SEVERAL DAYS, AS
THEY WATCH JESUS COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.
50SOMETHING WORTH REMEMBERING
- NOTE
- WHEN JESUS IS ABOVE THE EARTHS ATMOSPHERE, HE
WILL CALL FORTH FOR ALL THE OTHER RIGHTEOUS
SAINTS WHO ARE DEAD IN THEIR GRAVES TO COME
FORTH. - THERE WILL BE NO FAIFTHFUL SEVENTH DAY
ADVENTISTS WHO WILL RESURRECT IN THE GENERAL
RESURRECTION (AFTER THE 1000 YEARS). ALL OF GODS
SAINTS WILL RESURRECT IN THE SPECIAL AND FIRST
RESURRECTIONBECAUSE THEY DIED UNDER THE
PREACHING OF THE THIRD ANGELS MESSAGE. YET,
THERE WILL BE SOME WICKED PERSONS (AMONG WHOM ARE
THE GREATEST ENEMIES OF TRUTH) WHO WILL RESURRECT
IN THAT SPECIAL RESURRECTION. AND THEY WILL ALSO
RESURRECT IN THE GENERAL RESURRECTION AFTER THE
1000 YEARS.
51GREAT CONTROVERSY, p. 608
- As the storm approaches, a large class who have
professed faith in the third angel's message, but
have not been sanctified through obedience to the
truth, abandon their position, and join the ranks
of the opposition. By uniting with the world and
partaking of its spirit, they have come to view
matters in nearly the same light and when the
test is brought, they are prepared to choose the
easy, popular side. Men of talent and pleasing
address, who once rejoiced in the truth, employ
their powers to deceive and mislead souls. They
become the most bitter enemies of their former
brethren. When Sabbath-keepers are brought before
the courts to answer for their faith, these
apostates are the most efficient agents of Satan
to misrepresent and accuse them, and by false
reports and insinuations to stir up the rulers
against them.
52ARE THE 144, 000 AND THE GREAT MULTITUDE THE SAME
GROUP? YES!
- GREAT CONTROVERSY, pp. 648, 649
- Upon the crystal sea before the throne, that
sea of glass as it were mingled with fire,so
resplendent is it with the glory of God,are
gathered the company that have gotten the
victory over the beast, and over his image, and
over his mark, and over the number of his name.
Revelation 152. they stand, the hundred and
forty and four thousand that were redeemed from
among men and there is heard, as the sound of
many waters, and as the sound of a great thunder,
the voice of harpers harping with their harps.
53WILL SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS BE AMONG THOSE IN THE
GENERAL RESURRECTION?
- YES!
- THOSE WHO HAVE HAD A RELIGIOUS PROFESSIONAND AN
ATHEISTIC PRACTICE OF GODWILL BE AMONG THOSE IN
THE GENERAL (SECOND) RESURRECTION. - READ 2 TIMOTHY 32-5
