4. That the destruction of the tares from among the first fruits of the living (Matt. 13:30, 48, 49; Ezek. 9:6, 7) results in the purification of the church. {FB: 12.3} [260]
5. That immediately thereafter, the angels let loose the four winds (Rev. 7:1-3), whereupon ensues the time of trouble and Michael’s standing up to deliver from it, all whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life (Dan. 12:1). {FB: 12.4} [260]
6. That the angels’ letting loose the four winds to blow over the four corners of the earth (Rev. 7:1), does not anticipate a World war but rather a world wide decree enforced throughout Babylon by the image-beast, and that then no one may buy or sell save he who worships “the image.” Rev. 13:15-17. {FB: 13.1} [260]
7. That subsequently, the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jer. 30:7) for the 144,000, the sons of Jacob, logically develops on their way home (Gen. 32:1, 24) to the land of their fathers (Ezek. 36:28; 37:21, 25). {FB: 13.2} [260]
Do you now realize that not only the time of trouble is at the door, but even this special resurrection? Do you actually see that in the time of trouble, while the living saints are being delivered these dead who rise “to everlasting life,” are also delivered from their graves? Do you realize that this time of trouble is in “the great and dreadful day of the Lord,” the day which the promised prophet Elijah announces? Do you actually know that he is to turn the hearts of the fathers and of the children toward each other? lest the Lord smite “the earth with a curse.” Mal. 4:5, 6. Do you see that the prophet appears in a day he can restore all things, everything that was lost through sin, even the Kingdom? Do you know that the resurrection of Daniel 12 is not the same as the resurrection of 1 Thessalonians and of Revelation 20:5? {2TG7: 11.2} [382]
From the above quotations, the following facts stand out clearly:
First, the Purification of the Church happens
Then, the four angels let loose the four winds
Jacob’s time of Trouble begins on their (144,000’s) way home
At the end of Jacob’s Time of Trouble (which does not mean end of the time of trouble, but for the first fruits), Michael stands up and delivers the living saints, to take them to the Kingdom.
As He delivers the living from the trouble, He also delivers the righteous dead who are to resurrect in the special resurrection from their dusty graves.
As such, the Special resurrection happens, not immediately after the purification, but when the saints (first fruits) are being delivered from Jacob’s Time of Trouble.
Peace, does the special resurrection take place right after Ezekiel 9?
Peace be upon you beloved.
