While Satan has been urging his accusations, holy angels, unseen, have been placing the seal of God on the faithful ones. These stand on Mount Zion, having the Father’s name written in their foreheads. They sing the song that no one can learn except the 144,000 redeemed from the earth. “In their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault.” Revelation 14:5. RR 208.5
Now the words of the Angel to Joshua have reached their complete fulfillment: “I am bringing forth My Servant the Branch.” Christ is revealed as the Redeemer and Deliverer of His people. Now the remnant have become “a wondrous sign” (Zechariah 3:8) as the tears and humiliation of their pilgrimage give place to joy and honor in the presence of God and the Lamb. See Isaiah 4:2, 3. RR 208.6
