This week we’ll take a look at the correct answers and give a small commentary when needed.
1) “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.”(Isaiah 11:6)
This inspired reference is speaking of:
a) The heavenly kingdom
b) The pre-millennial earthly kingdom
c) The new earth kingdom
Answer– B.
There will be no “suckling child” in the heavenly kingdom nor the earth made new kingdom. This time can only be in the future but before the second coming of Christ. Notice there are no conditions attached to this word of God. He said it, He will do it.

2) “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Why are Your clothes red, and Your garments like one who treads a winepress? (Isaiah 63:1-2)
This is speaking of what?
a) Return of Jesus to heaven after the church judgment
b) The days of the new earth
c) Concerning the Lord’s solemn judgments given in the desert during the 40 years of wandering
Answer– A
Here we see something very illuminating. Notice that this person is “travelling in the greatness of his strength”. Then he answers who He is, “I that speak in righteousness. mighty to save.” There is only one being in the universe that can “save”. The Lord savior Jesus Christ. He is returning with dyed or stained garments (as if in blood). We know it is blood because later in verse 3 we read, “Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments, and I have stained all My robes.” Then we get the time in which He does this ”For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.”
Brethren, when the Lord comes in the clouds, the wicked will be destroyed by the brightness of His coming. He will not come down and be among them. But when the church judgment comes He will come “to the threshold of the temple”(Ezek. 9:3). He will be near the people and after ordering the Ezekiel 9 church judgment, His garments will indeed be stained. We find additional evidence in coming to His people, in Mal. 3:1, when He “suddenly comes to His temple.”

11)In the Great Controversy, on page 425, what event (special work of purification) does this quote describe?
“While the investigative judgment is going forward in heaven, while the sins of the penitent believers are being removed from the sanctuary, there is a special work of purification, of putting away of sin, among God’s people upon earth.”
A. The Lord’s coming in the clouds
b. Ezekiel 9
c. The Loud Cry
Answer: B
In that quote EGW says that this work of purification is more clearly described in Revelation 14. When we go there we find in Rev. 14:14 that our Lord is seen with a “sharp sickle” in His hand. Then He “reaps” the harvest of the earth. This is the first reaping. Then in verse 15 we read the seconding reaping by an “angel” who thrust in his sickle. The first reaping is Ezekiel 9 church judgment harvest. This is the “first fruit” harvest. The second reaping is the “second fruit” harvest or more commonly known as the –“Great multitude” harvest (Rev. 7:9). The 144,000 “servants of God”, free from the tare leadership in the church, go out into Babylon and bring into God’s pure church, the multitude from around the world.

c) Jesus coming to the heavenly temple after His resurrection
Answer: A
Reference: (Timely Greetings, vol. 2, no.11, p.17-18)
Mal. 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.”
This verse introduces two persons, the Lord and His messenger. In the language of today these verse would read as follows:
“Behold, I send My messenger, even the messenger of the covenant, and he shall prepare the way before Me; and the Lord whom ye seek and in Whom ye delight shall suddenly come to His temple. Behold, He shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Mal. 3:2-4 — “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’ sope: 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.
Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years.”
Plainly these verses foretell that the Lord is to send Elijah the prophet before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, before the judgment of the living members of His church begins, before the separating of the “tares” from the “wheat,” the bad “fish” from the good. Then He purifies the sons of Levi — the ministry. God assures us that before this work begins, He will send His messenger, the messenger of the promise, Elijah the prophet.
