THOUGHTS
The Close of Probation
"I saw angels hurrying to and fro in heaven. An angel with a writer's inkhorn by his side returned from the earth and reported to Jesus that his work was done, and the saints were numbered and sealed. Then I saw Jesus, who had been ministering before the ark containing the ten commandments, throw down the censer."
- Early Writings, p. 279
"An angel returning from the earth announces that his work is done; the final test has been brought upon the world, and all who have proved themselves loyal to the divine precepts have received 'the seal of the living God.' Then Jesus ceases His intercession in the sanctuary above."
- The Great Controversy, p. 613
"Every case has been decided for life or death. Christ has made the atonement for His people and blotted out their sins."
- The Great Controversy, p. 613
"Satan sees that his time is short. He has set all his agencies at work that men may be deceived, deluded, occupied, and entranced until the day of probation shall be ended, and the door of mercy forever shut."
- Christian Service, p. 51
When Is the Close of Probation?
"God has not revealed to us the time when this message will close, or when probation will have an end."
- The Review and Herald, October 9, 1894
"Come when it may, the day of God will come unawares to the ungodly."
- The Great Controversy, p. 38
"So when the irrevocable decision of the sanctuary has been pronounced and the destiny of the world has been forever fixed, the inhabitants of the earth will know it not."
- The Great Controversy, p. 615
What Do We Do Until the Close of Probation?
"It is our duty to watch and work and wait, to labor every moment for the souls of men that are ready to perish. We are to keep walking continually in the footsteps of Jesus, working in his lines, dispensing his gifts as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."
- The Review and Herald, October 9, 1894
