But merely denouncing destructive "Babylon" is not proclaiming the life-giving alternative. So let me declare what that is:  It is for one to obey the Holy Spirit of God administered through The  Christ Michael and his 144,000 anointed brothers that are the holy priesthood of God. ⁽⁴²⁾  Throughout the generations, anointed men have been the channels of Spirit communications from God to provide necessary Spirit instruction for obedient people being sanctified while on earth. Because of the spirit rebellion of mankind against the Spirit of God, anointed ones have, for the most part, been treated with contempt and "trampled" on, and in recent times have been forced to live in a death-like state of spiritual inactivity on earth. ⁽⁴³⁾  Successive generations of mankind since The Christ have had anointed members of the total number of 144,000 among them.  But  with each new generation, the number remaining on earth has diminished through death. To ignore them, is to ignore Spirit communications from God. The erroneous notion that one may be a Christian by solely believing in the words that The Christ uttered when he was on earth, while ignoring the instructions he later gave by Holy Spirit through his apostles after his death and resurrection to spirit life, has kept many from the forgiveness of God. In other words, after his earthly death, The Christ continues to administer the Will of God through his disciples.
