(2 Timothy 2:14-16 ; see EGW on Revelation 7:4-17 .) Identity of 144,000 Not Revealed. --Christ says that there will be those in the church who will present fables and suppositions, when God has given grand, elevating, ennobling truths, which should ever be kept in the treasure house of the mind. When men pick up this theory and that theory, when they are curious to know something it is not necessary for them to know, God is not leading them. It is not His plan that His people shall present something whic h they have to suppose, which is not taught in the Word. It is not His will that they shall get into controversy over questions which will not help them spiritually, such as, Who is to compose the hundred and forty-four thousand. This those who are the ele ct of God will in a short time know without question. {7BC 978 .4} My brethren and sisters, appreciate and study the truths God has given for you and your children. Spend not your time in seeking to know that which will be no spiritual help. What shall I do to inherit eternal life? This is the all-important questio n, and it has been clearly answered. What is written in the law? how readest thou? (MS 26, 1901). {7BC 978 .5}
