Conditions
for Aspiring to Become one of the 144,000
Dear Reader,
The first condition for being
able to aspire to being one of the 144,000, is a proper understanding of the
Godhead, for it is that knowledge that one must receive in order to understand
and pray for the overcoming power of the Holy Spirit, per Romans 1:5, and the
partaking of the Divine Nature of Christ, which is the Holy Spirit HIMSELF.
Without the aid of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible for anyone to overcome.
Any denial of the possibility of overcoming sin before glorification, is a
denial of the efficacy of the Holy Spirit of Christ, versus Satan’s potential
to tempt and deceive.
All who teach against Final
Generation Theology, the belief that the bride will overcome this side of glorification
as Revelation 14:1-4 attests, are not only contradicting Ellen G. White, but
the Bible itself. The bride of Christ will achieve a state that is without
fault. Christ is the head, and if His bride (His body) was corrupt, that would
corrupt the Head as well.
"Christ
declared that after his ascension, he would send to his church, as his crowning
gift, the Comforter, who was to take his place. This Comforter is the Holy Spirit,--the soul of his life,
the efficacy of his church, the light and life of the world. With his Spirit
Christ sends a reconciling influence and a power that takes away sin.
In the gift of the Spirit [HIS LIFE--THE
SOUL OF HIS LIFE],
Jesus gave to man the highest good that heaven could bestow....
The
Spirit was given as a regenerating agency, and without this the sacrifice of
Christ would have been of no avail....
It is
by the Spirit that the heart is made pure. Through the Spirit the believer
becomes a partaker of the divine nature. Christ has given his Spirit as a
divine power to overcome all hereditary and cultivated tendencies to evil, and
to impress his own character upon the church." E.G. White, Review and
Herald Articles, May 19, 1904, vol. 5, p. 42.
“Cumbered
with humanity Christ could not be in every place personally, therefore it was
altogether for their advantage that He should leave them to go to His Father
and send the Holy Spirit to be His successor on earth. The Holy Spirit is Himself divested of the
personality of humanity and independent thereof. He would represent Himself as
present in all places by His Holy Spirit.” E.G. White, (Manuscript Releases
Volume 14 (No’s 1081-1135) MR No.1084.
Bruce Bivens, the
author of Are We Missing Something
Here—The Godhead, The Holy Spirit, and the “Infinite Cost” of Our Salvation,
has graciously consented to let me post his book in full on my Website because
I taught James Frank on the Godhead, and he relayed what I taught to Bruce, and
Bruce put it in book form. After bringing up the following link, select all of the document, put it in Word, and view as Print
Layout. Then you will have easy to read narrower margins just as the real book
presents. Or click the link to my duplication of Bruce’s book which is just
below the link to Bruce's original copy. The advantages to my link are:
·
The marginal layout is easier to read for
those who do not have Microsoft Word.
·
My reproduction correlates the pages to the
same as they appear in the book.
·
Bruce’s original version does not give the
pagination of the book.
The link to Bruce’s original manuscript copy is:

Trinity Doctrine

https://omega77.tripod.com/bivensholyspirit.htm
Ellen White lists the Godhead as one of the pillars
of Adventism, to wit:
Godhead as a pillar doctrine -- Personality of
God and of Christ Landmarks: "Those who seek to remove the old landmarks
are not holding fast they are not remembering how they have received and heard.
Those who try to bring in theories that would remove the pillars of our faith
concerning the sanctuary or concerning the personality of God or of Christ, are
working as blind men. They are seeking to bring in uncertainties and to set the
people of God adrift without an anchor." {MR760 9.5}
I stress that all who can afford the book should
purchase it.

Dear Ron, One of the greatest blessings of my life is this grace to understand
from you and Bruce this amazing truth about Christ and His Infinite
Sacrifice! I started to share with a group of study and prayer this thing and
I assure you our life is changing...They are asking me to keep insisting on
this blessed truth over and over again...We have
come to the conclusion that this is the Present Truth- the only Truth able to
produce a real reformation in the Christian life! Also, I believe This Truth
is the Key for the deepest and truest understanding of Daniel and Revelation
including the great controversy between Christ and Satan. Without this divine
perspective the whole history of salvation is a nonsense, its earthly actors
being just poor puppets playing a futile role in an
cynical orchestrated drama...Your ministry is a blessing for me and my
friends Ron! May The Lord take care of all your
needs, in Christ, George |

144,000 and Martyrs
George,
Praise God for your response to the "highest good, crowning
gift that heaven can bestow." I say with the authority of the Holy Spirit
of Christ Jesus, that no message of any Elijah will ever transcend the
"highest good, crowning gift," that will ever be given to mankind. I
believe that no person will aspire to be part of the 144,000 without a thorough
knowledge of this gift, and what transpired in the Incarnation of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ in His Incarnation. The subject will continue to be
unfolded for eternity, but what is required for being one of the 144,000 is
depicted in Bruce's book and that book is in the files of this forum.
God has used Bruce in a mighty way to capsulate teachings I have
expounded for years before Bruce's book was printed in 2008. James Franks, a
friend of Bruce’s, could tell you that he conveyed my teaching to Bruce over a
long period of time. But God used Bruce to present it from the Sanctuary
Service and that presentation is beautiful.
No forthcoming message from any "Elijah" could
possibly exceed the compelling motivation of the truth that was achieved for us
in the Incarnation of Jesus and the gift of His Divine Nature Holy Spirit to us
for empowerment and regeneration back into His image. Nothing is possible
without His Divine Nature. Without it no man can do anything.
You realize that Jesus said He had 7,000 others in Elijah's
time who had not bowed the knee to Baal. I believe that He will have 144,000
who come in the spirit and power of Elijah at the end-time. No one person
should ever claim this title, and it belongs to Ellen White if any single
person were to be associated with the title. Gender does not enter the picture
wherein the gift of the Holy Spirit is involved. No one man will ever transcend
the message of what was achieved in the Incarnation of the Son of
God. Think about it. Pray about it. This is really a common
sense conclusion. The message as contained in Bruce's book achieves all of the following in the life of the reader, and if it
does not, then the fault is with the reader and no greater and more compelling
message will be forthcoming. If the "highest good, crowning gift that
heaven can bestow" will not do the work in one's life, then NOTHING ELSE
WILL.
I have reproduced Bruce's book for the poor (such as in
Africa and other third world countries), but all who are able should purchase
the book and consider it the most worthwhile investment they will
ever make other than the Bible and the Holy Spirit of Prophecy upon which the
book is based.
Mark this point with care: Other men with the Spirit of Elijah
will come forth with inspiring and compelling messages to warn and encourage God's
people; dreams and visions will come forth, but NOTHING will equal the
"highest good, crowning gift that heaven can bestow," as portrayed in
the true account of the Godhead and the greatest sacrifice that was made by the
Son of God for man.
"Christ declared that after his
ascension, he would send to his church, as his crowning gift, the Comforter, who was
to take his place. This Comforter is the Holy Spirit,--the
soul of his life, the efficacy of his church, the light and life of the world.
With his Spirit Christ sends a reconciling influence and a power that takes
away sin.

“They must have His grace, the Spirit of Christ, to help their
infirmities, or they cannot for a Christian character. Jesus loves to have us come
to Him, just as we are—sinful, helpless, dependent.” Faith and Works, p. 38.

Malachi 3
1 Behold,
I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord,
whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the
covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
2 But
who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for
he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap:
3 And
he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify
the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto
the LORD an offering in righteousness.
4 Then
shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the
days of old, and as in former years.
5 And
I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the
sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against
those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the
fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear
not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
6 For
I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons
of Jacob are not consumed.
7 Even
from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances,
and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto
you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein
shall we return?
8 Will
a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein
have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
9 Ye
are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole
nation.
10 Bring
ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house,
and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be
room enough to receive it.
11 And
I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits
of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the
field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And
all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith
the LORD of hosts.
13 Your
words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14 Ye
have said, It is vain to serve God: and what
profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked
mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15 And
now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they
that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one
to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of
remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that
thought upon his name.
17 And
they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my
jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then
shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him
that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Malachi 4
1 For behold, the day cometh, that
shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall
be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of
hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But
unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in
his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as
calves of the stall.
3 And
ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your
feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 Remember
ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all
Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold,
I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful
day of the LORD:
6 And
he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the
children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
