Seeing that this topic is in the SOP forum and has to do with the writings of EGW, what does EGW say about this, and how does she say it?

quote:
"If we look at the texts that John shared we will certainly see that Jesus states that the wicked will be destroyed at His return."
Luke 17:26-30
26 "And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
quote:
What it does not state though, is that not only will be returning a Second time, but also a Third Time. Nor does He state that there will be a 1000 year period between His Second and Third Coming
Nor does He state that the wicked will be resurrected again, only to be destroyed again by fire at the time of His Third Coming..
Rev. 19 and 20 show that at the second coming:
1. The time has come for the marriage supper of the Lamb, his bride is ready, all clothed with fine linen of righteousness. They are declared as blessed for they are invited to the marriage supper. (Rev. 19:17-18)
2. The wicked are struck down with the sword that precedes from the mouth of the rider on the white horse and their flesh is the supper of the fowls. (Rev. 19:15-21)
Two suppers are connected with the second coming.
THEN
1. The righteous were resurrected (called the first and blessed resurrection) and they reign with Christ 1000 years. (Rev. 20:4)
2. The wicked are dead those 1000 years. (Rev. 20:4-5)
AFTER THE 1000 YEARS
1. The wicked are brought to life (Rev. 20:5,13)
2. They suffer the second death (Rev. 20:15)

What does EGW say about where God's people are during the last plagues? See Great Controversy pages 627-630 quote:
When Christ ceases His intercession in the sanctuary, the unmingled wrath threatened against those who worship the beast and his image and receive his mark (Revelation 14:9, 10), will be poured out. The plagues...terrible and extensive judgments which are to fall upon the world just before the final deliverance of God's people......
"While the wicked are dying from hunger and pestilence, angels will shield the righteous and supply their wants. To him that "walketh righteously" is the promise: "Bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure." ....
Yet to human sight it will appear that the people of God must soon seal their testimony with their blood as did the martyrs before them.....
With earnest longing, God's people await the tokens of their coming King.....
God's people are still on earth-- sheltered from the plagues, YES! but still on this earth.
quote:
{EW 36.1}
I saw that the four angels would hold the four winds until Jesus' work was done in the sanctuary, and then will come the seven last plagues. These plagues enraged the wicked against the righteous; they thought that we had brought the judgments of God upon them, and that if they could rid the earth of us, the plagues would then be stayed. A decree went forth to slay the saints, which caused them to cry day and night for deliverance. This was the time of Jacob's trouble.

I agree that we as SDA include Sister White's works in our study of prophecy, and we don't need to be hesitant or embarrassed to include her here. It isn't just what the Bible says, but also how EGW expands upon it also. She gives us the picture of the Remnant going through the time of trouble and the plagues. Indeed, we figure that it is about the third plague where the death decree is given. Rather than all the saints gathered in a great "city" or "fortress" over in Jerusalem, as the Three Angels Heralds claim, Great Controversy pictures the remnant scattered about in small groups. Some will be in prison. Yet, once probabation closes and the plagues begin, the remnant have been sealed and can not be killed. Sis White very clearly presents the remnant as seeing their rescue coming in the heavens just at the darkest hour of war and plagues upon earth. I also agree that we need to be especially careful to understand which scripture is dealing with events before Christ's second coming, and those events that will happen at the third coming.

![[Thank You]](graemlins/thanks.gif) Thank you both for resurrecting this topic. ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif) Both the Bible and the SOP clearly reveals that the righteous will be there, will be protected, and will be translated at the second coming of Jesus Christ. They are not taken out of this world prior to the visible second coming of Jesus Christ. It is also clearly revealed in both the Bible and the SOP,that there are two separate resurrections; the first resurrection of the righteous, and then after the 1000 years, the second resurrection of the wicked.
