“In contemplating the second coming, we must understand it in relation to what God needs to accomplish. In order for Christ to come, the issue is not evangelism. We could evangelize the whole world and have everyone be seventh-day Adventist, and yet the Lord still could not come. ‘What!’, you may ask. ‘Why not?’

The issue is not having everyone accept the SDA choose so that they might die saved, but a people might accept the truth in light of our sanctuary message in such a way as to not just die saved, but to not die at all. The final generation must be prepared to stand alive and saved in God's consuming- fire- presence at his second coming. God will have a whole generation that is ‘without guile’ and is able to be translated without seeing death.

‘The peculiar people whom he is purifying unto himself to be translated to heaven without seeing death, should not be behind others in good works’ 1T487… Elijah, representing those who at the close of earth’s history will be changed from mortal to immortal and be translated to heaven without seeing death.’ PK 227”
