(need to read verses 1-6 to get context) Ezekiel 9:6 "Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and BEGIN AT MY SANCTURARY. Then they BEGAN AT THE ANCIENT MEN which were before the house." 1 Peter 4:17 "For the time is come that judgement must BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD: and if it first BEGIN AT US, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"

I am still looking for an answer to my question, which is the whole reason for this topic.
Is there an earlier close of probation for the SDA Church followed by a general close of probation for the others?
What I wrote previously addressed this question, although it was in a larger context. I'll be more specific here.
Judgment has to do with light. The message God started to give in 1888, and will continue giving, will be primarily given to SDA's. But there will be non-SDA's who will hear it before some SDA's.
Also, please note in the SOP quote cited previously, she says the judgment begins with those who have entered into the service of God. Unfortunately, not all SDA's have done this (to put is mildly). Just because one is an SDA does not mean their name will even be considered. One must have entered into the service of God for that to happen.
So, in a general way, yes, SDA's will be considered by non-SDA's, but only in a general way, based on the profession one is making and the acquaintance with truth one has had.
Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, "Behold your God." The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love.
