“Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers.” {The Great Controversy, pg. 612}.

Commenting on Moses coming down from the mountain with a glorified and shining face, Inspiration has this to say:

“The people perceive that it is the voice of Moses; that, although he is transformed and glorified, he is Moses yet. They tell him that they cannot look into his face, for the radiant light in his countenance is exceedingly painful to them. His face is like the sun; they cannot look upon it. When Moses finds out the difficulty, he covers his face with a veil. He does not plead that the light and glory upon his face is the reflection of God’s glory that He placed upon him, and that the people must bear it; but he covers his glory. The sinfulness of the people make it painful to behold his glorified face. So will it be when the saints of God are glorified just previous to the second appearing of our Lord. The wicked will retire and shrink away from the sight, for the glory in the countenances of the saints will pain them.”  {3 Testimonies for the Church, pg. 354, 355}.

 Jones and Waggoner explained this glorified time as follows:

 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.”  Rev. 10:7.

“But what is the mystery of God?–`Christ in you, the hope of glory.’  `God…manifest in the flesh.’  Then in these days that mystery is to be finished in one hundred and forty-four thousand.  God’s work in human flesh, God being manifested in human flesh, in you and me, is to be finished.  His work upon you and me is to be finished.  We are to be perfected in Jesus Christ.  By the Spirit we are to come unto a perfect man unto the measure of the nature of the fullness of Christ.”   {Lessons On Faith, pg. 158}.

It is abundantly clear that when the Lord glorifies Himself through the remnant, the 144,000, there will be a great inflow of truly converted saints from all status and creeds into the purified church.  Now that the end of all things is at hand this grand privilege can be yours and ours.  Is the SDA ministry prepared for an increase of membership of over a third of earth’s population?

“ And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It [is] my people: and they shall say, The LORD [is] my God.”  Zechariah 13:9.

What will be the world’s condition that will signalize that the time has come for the Lord to glorify Himself and gather in earth’s final harvest?  The Scripture gives the answer:

WAR NO MORE

“And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” (Isaiah 2:4).  “And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off.” In  Isa. 60:10, 12, we have the explanation of the text.  “And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee:…For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.”   (Micah 4:3).

“And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning‑hooks: Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” (Isaiah 2:4).   This verse reads exactly the opposite of Joel 3:10, “Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: Let the weak say I am strong.”

These scriptures reveal two classes of people.  One class shall flow into the church by great groups: Kings, and great army leaders who have been building destroying weapons and preparing for war.  Now the gospel has conquered them.  While they are joining the church they gather their war implements, beating them into plowshares and pruninghooks.  “Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.” Isa. 60:18.  The other class, outside of the church, prepare for war, beating their plowshares into swords, and their pruninghooks into spears.  One people is preparing for translation, while the other is getting ready for conquest.  Therefore both scriptures run parallel and will be fulfilled at  the same time. Thus the world would be divided into two great separate and distinct classes: Separating the wheat from the chaff, the goats from the sheep.
