"The scriptures plainly teach that the spirits of mankind are known and numbered unto God before their earthly advent . . . The population of the earth is fixed according to the number of spirits appointed to take tabernacles of flesh upon this planet; when these have all come forth in the order and time appointed, then, and not till then, shall the end come."
