SIFTING SEALING SHAKING Seal Is a Settling Into Truth ….it is not any seal or mark that can be seen, but a settling into the truth, both intellectually and spiritually, so they cannot be moved--just as soon as God's people are sealed and prepared for the shaking, it will come. (MS 173, 1902). {4BC 1161.6} SIFTING—12 DISCIPLES SEALING PENTECOST SHAKEN—UPPER ROOM

14. GREAT CONTROVERSY, p. 299 THE DOCTRINE OF THE SECOND ADVENT IS THE VERY KEYNOTE OF THE SACRED SCRIPTURES. The time of Christ's coming, His anointing by the Holy Spirit, His death, and the giving of the gospel to the Gentiles, were definitely pointed out. It was the privilege of the Jewish people to understand these prophecies, and to recognize their fulfillment in the mission of Jesus. Christ urged upon His disciples the importance of prophetic study. As the message of Christ's first advent announced the kingdom of His grace, so the message of His second advent announces the kingdom of His glory. And the second message, like the first, is based on the prophecies. The Jews misinterpreted and misapplied the word of God. DESIRE OF AGES, p. 234
