On May 5/6, 2019, the seventh plague began with the hail of rockets on Israel, which predicts many further calamities, and the words of Jesus in the heavenly sanctuary:
It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings… And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent… (from Revelation 16:17,18,21)
This means that the sealing of the saints and mercy for the world have finally ended:
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[1] and sealed. Then I saw Jesus, who had been ministering before the ark containing the ten commandments, throw down the censer. He raised His hands, and with a loud voice said, “It is done.” And all the angelic host laid off their crowns as Jesus made the solemn declaration, “He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”
Every case had been decided for life or death. While Jesus had been ministering in the sanctuary, the judgment had been going on for the righteous dead, and then for the righteous living. Christ had received His kingdom, having made the atonement for His people and blotted out their sins. The subjects of the kingdom were made up. The marriage of the Lamb was consummated. And the kingdom, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, was given to Jesus and the heirs of salvation, and Jesus was to reign as King of kings and Lord of lords [POWEHI]. {EW 279.2-280.1}
Now the books that were closed[2] for the apostate Seventh-day Adventist Church ten months earlier were also closed for the world. Great signs in heaven accompanied it.
We believed that by that time all the other plagues, which had previously fallen as warnings in only a more or less symbolic form, would fall on humanity already and that “Philadelphia” would be kept from the temptation[3] through the Rapture before this hour.
However, this also depended on whether Philadelphia would be ready and would have cleansed itself completely. This was not the case, however, as a dream of one of our members, Brother James, had indicated, where he still had to wash a small piece of cloth in the last few seconds while crossing the Jordan. That was and still is true for many of us.
Prophecy—including end-time prophecy—is often conditional and is dependent on factors that could bring about a different fulfillment. This is the reason why Revelation 11 speaks of two witnesses and why we had to write the books with these Two Witnesses over years.
The church of Philadelphia is a studying church and does not receive many divine dreams or visions like other churches. There is only a hint here and there that helps us. That is why we had to present two different end-time scenarios in the Two Witnesses.
In the first witness, God is Time, Philadelphia is raptured at the end of the hour of Philadelphia at the return of Jesus. There, the saints’ seven-day journey to the Orion Nebula begins on May 21, 2019 and ends with their coronation there on May 27, 2019. The seven-day spring feast of unleavened bread served as a guide for the itinerary.
