To better understand why God had to put His plan on hold and how we can prepare for our role in the final conflict, we first probe our route to Minneapolis, where God put His plan on hold.

From 1844 to Minneapolis
The little company of believers who refused to surrender their faith following the disappointment portrayed in Revelation 10, acted upon its call to “prophecy again.” They then re-examined the sanctuary cleansing message, as in instructed in Revelation 11 and were soon giving the basic pillars of the message of our message. But their approach to the proclamation of those pillars soon called for divine reproof, which was not grasped and internalized. As a result God had to put His plan on hold, until His people were prepared to proclaim their present truth doctrine with a focus upon Christ Himself.

ALTERNATE 1844 TO MINNEAPOLIS - “The little flock” who refused to surrender their faith after the 1844 disappointment, as portrayed in Revelation 10, responded to the call to “prophecy again” (10:11). Heeding the instruction in Revelation 11:1, to examine the sanctuary, they found that it was in heaven (11:19), not on earth, as they had thought. By earnest study they discovered the basic pillars of the three angel's messages, which they now proclaimed:
    (a) the soon coming of Jesus;
    (b) the judgment – cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary;
    (c) the Law as the standard of judgment;
    (d) the Sabbath as the seal of God and sign of worship of the Creator;
    (e) the spirit of prophecy, sign of the remnant church; and
    (e) man's sleep in death.

But within a few years they were divinely reproved for allowing their focus to shift from Christ, Who provides both meaning and cohesion to all the doctrines, to the doctrines themselves. Because they did not grasp and internalize the principles involved in the reproof, God had to put His plan on hold until they were prepared to proclaim present truth doctrines with a focus upon Christ Himself.

ALTERNATE INTRO - Where are we now? As Seventh-day Adventists, we are commissioned by the Creator to proclaim His message to all the world? But after many long decades, we remain at the threshold of the final battle between Christ and Satan, unready for that final round. Thus the Angels of Revelation 7 still hold “the winds of strife.” Christ cannot gain His ultimate victory over Satan, “father of lies,” until His servants are sealed in their foreheads (minds). For this is essential to his final unmasking before the universe. The first key to why God's plan remains on hold and how we can prepare for the final conflict lies in understanding our route from 1844 to Minneapolis.
