Kland, if you read the quote in context you will see what EGW means by "less than 1 in 100" and what that small number is doing.
And yes, HC, the math is interesting!!!
While the 99 are simply engaging in common worldly enterprises, making a living, keeping themselves fed and comfortable, the 1 percent are out there giving Bible studies, sharing the gospel, going into unchurched places and raising churches, etc.
Actually it kind of fits what I understand the 144,000 to be --
As Jesus began the Christian church with a foundation of 12 men going out and planting the gospel truth in the known world until there was a great multitude of Christians,
So in the end, God will have His 12,000 times 12 going out and planting the gospel as it is in the three angels' messages until there is a great multitude on God's side praising Him in their white robes of Christ's righteousness.

Logic is interesting.
If less than 210,000 of 21,000,000 are not doing anything beyond engaging in common worldly enterprises, does that mean that the others are doing something beyond engaging in common worldly enterprises? Let's hope so

So in the end, God will have His 12,000 times 12 going out and planting the gospel as it is in the three angels' messages until there is a great multitude on God's side praising Him in their white robes of Christ's righteousness. Soon we heard the voice of God like many waters, which gave us the day and hour of Jesus' coming. The living saints, 144,000 in number, knew and understood the voice, while the wicked thought it was thunder and an earthquake. When God spoke the time, He poured upon us the Holy Ghost, and our faces began to light up and shine with the glory of God, as Moses' did when he came down from Mount Sinai. {EW 14.1}
The 144,000 were all sealed and perfectly united. On their foreheads was written, God, New Jerusalem, and a glorious star containing Jesus' new name. {EW 15.1}

Am I not thinking correctly or neither of you two? Not one in a hundred among us is doing anything beyond engaging in common, worldly enterprises. We are not half awake to the worth of the souls for whom Christ died.-- Testimonies, vol. 8, p. 148.
If less than 210,000 are not doing anything beyond engaging in common worldly enterprises,
Does not negation require the less/than greater/than to be changed? as in: If more than 210,000 are not doing anything beyond engaging in common worldly enterprises,

The author of this quarter's SSL states that the editors made some massive changes to this week's lesson. http://revelation-armageddon.com/2019/03...ript-on-rev-13/IMHO some of the changes were an improvement, but both fall short of what we could know if we stayed true to the prophecy.
