From Splendor to Shadow

The Blotting out of Sins

While Satan has been urging his accusations, holy angels, unseen, have been placing on the faithful ones the seal of God. These stand on Mount Zion, having the Father's name written in their foreheads. They sing that song which no one can learn save the 144,000 redeemed from the earth. “In their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault.” Revelation 14:5. SS 305.3

Now is reached the complete fulfillment of the words of the Angel to Joshua: “I will bring forth My Servant the Branch.” Christ is revealed as the Redeemer and Deliverer of His people. Now are the remnant “men wondered at” (Zechariah 3:8) as the tears and humiliation of their pilgrimage give place to joy and honor in the presence of God and the Lamb. See Isaiah 4:2, 3. SS 305.4
