Islam of the first and second woes of Revelation chapter nine represented the judgment that was brought upon Rome. William Miller had called the trumpets, “the peculiar judgments” which were brought upon Rome, but Miller could not see Modern Rome, as the threefold alliance which leads the world to Armageddon. Uriah Smith recognized the trumpets represented God’s judgment upon Rome, and that the fifth and sixth trumpets (first and second Woes), were judgments upon the Catholic church.
প্রকাশিত বাক্যের নবম অধ্যায়ের প্রথম ও দ্বিতীয় সন্তাপের ইসলাম রোমের উপর আনা সেই বিচারের প্রতিনিধিত্ব করেছিল। উইলিয়াম মিলার তূর্যধ্বনিগুলিকে “বিশেষ বিচারসমূহ” বলে অভিহিত করেছিলেন, যা রোমের উপর আনা হয়েছিল; কিন্তু মিলার আধুনিক রোমকে সেই ত্রিমুখী মৈত্রীজোটরূপে দেখতে পারেননি, যা বিশ্বকে হার্মাগিদ্দোনের দিকে পরিচালিত করে। উরিয়াহ স্মিথ স্বীকার করেছিলেন যে তূর্যধ্বনিগুলি রোমের উপর ঈশ্বরের বিচারের প্রতিনিধিত্ব করে, এবং পঞ্চম ও ষষ্ঠ তূর্যধ্বনি (প্রথম ও দ্বিতীয় সন্তাপ) ক্যাথলিক মণ্ডলীর উপর বিচার ছিল।
“For an exposition of this trumpet, we shall again draw from the writings of Mr. Keith. This writer truthfully says: ‘There is scarcely so uniform an agreement among interpreters concerning any other part of the Apocalypse as respecting the application of the fifth and sixth trumpets, or the first and second woes, to the Saracens and Turks. It is so obvious that it can scarcely be misunderstood. Instead of a verse or two designating each, the whole of the ninth chapter of the Revelation in equal portions, is occupied with a description of both.
“Na mongongo ya ndimbola ya kelelo oyo, tokobenda lisusu na mikanda ya M. Keith. Mokomi oyo alobi na bosolo boye: ‘Ezalaka pene na boyokani moko ya ndenge moko te kati na bandimboli mpo na eteni mosusu nyonso ya Emoniseli lokola mpo na bosaleli ya bakelelo ya mitano mpe ya motoba, to mawa ya liboso mpe ya mibale, epai ya Basarasin mpe Batiki. Ezali polele mingi boye ete ekoki mpenza kobungisa ndimbola te. Na esika ya vɛrsɛ moko to mibale oyo ezali kopesa elembo na moko na moko, mokapo mobimba ya libwa ya Emoniseli, na biteni oyo ekokani, ezwami na ndimbola ya bango mibale.’”
“‘The Roman empire declined, as it arose, by conquest; but the Saracens and the Turks were the instruments by which a false religion became the scourge of an apostate church; and hence, instead of the fifth and sixth trumpets, like the former, being designated by that name alone, they are called woes.” Uriah Smith, Daniel and Revelation, 495.
« L’Empire romain déclina, comme il s’était élevé, par la conquête ; mais les Sarrasins et les Turcs furent les instruments par lesquels une fausse religion devint le fléau d’une Église apostate ; et c’est pourquoi, au lieu que les cinquième et sixième trompettes, comme les précédentes, soient désignées par ce seul nom, elles sont appelées malheurs. » Uriah Smith, Daniel and Revelation, 495.
What Miller and Smith did not recognize about the trumpets as God’s judgment upon Rome, was that those judgments were brought about by the enforcement of the worship of the sun. In the year 321, Constantine passed the first Sunday law, and nine years later he moved the capital from the city of Rome, to the city of Constantinople, thus initiating the process of disintegration of the Roman Empire. In Daniel chapter eleven, pagan Rome was to rule supremely for a “time,” which represented the three hundred and sixty years, from the Battle of Actium, in the year 31 BC, unto the year 330, when Constantine divided the kingdom into the West and the East.
Miller와 Smith가 나팔들을 로마에 대한 하나님의 심판으로서 인식하지 못했던 점은, 그 심판들이 태양 숭배의 강제를 통하여 이루어졌다는 사실이었다. 321년에 콘스탄티누스는 최초의 일요일 법을 제정하였고, 그로부터 9년 후 그는 수도를 로마 시에서 콘스탄티노플 시로 옮겼으며, 이로써 로마 제국의 분열 과정이 시작되었다. 다니엘서 11장에서 이교 로마는 한 “때” 동안 최상으로 통치하게 되어 있었는데, 이는 주전 31년 악티움 전투로부터 콘스탄티누스가 왕국을 서방과 동방으로 나눈 330년에 이르기까지의 360년을 의미하였다.
He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time. Daniel 11:24.
Il entrera paisiblement jusque dans les lieux les plus fertiles de la province; et il fera ce que n’ont fait ni ses pères, ni les pères de ses pères; il distribuera parmi eux le butin, les dépouilles et les richesses; oui, il formera des desseins contre les forteresses, et cela pour un temps. Daniel 11:24.
During those three hundred and sixty years, the Roman Empire was essentially invincible, but once the capital was moved to the East, the ability to govern such a massive empire was no longer possible. Constantine tried to maintain control by dividing the kingdom between his three sons, but that only furthered the crumbling of the former empire.
Üç yüz altmış yıl boyunca Roma İmparatorluğu özünde yenilmezdi; ancak başkent Doğu’ya taşındıktan sonra, böylesine muazzam bir imparatorluğu yönetebilme imkânı artık kalmamıştı. Konstantin, krallığı üç oğlu arasında bölerek denetimi sürdürmeye çalıştı; fakat bu, eski imparatorluğun çözülüşünü yalnızca daha da hızlandırdı.
When the papacy took the throne of the earth in the year 538, at the third Council of Orleans a Sunday law was passed. Thus, in the year 606, Mohammed began his prophetic ministry, and symbolically represented the trumpet that was to be what the historians identify as a “scourge of an apostate church.” The history of the first and second woes, beginning with the ministry of Mohammed in the year 606, concluded on October 22, 1844, when the seventh trumpet sounded.
Lorsque la papauté monta sur le trône de la terre en l’an 538, une loi dominicale fut promulguée lors du troisième concile d’Orléans. Ainsi, en l’an 606, Mahomet commença son ministère prophétique et représenta symboliquement la trompette qui devait être ce que les historiens désignent comme un « fléau d’une Église apostate ». L’histoire du premier et du second malheur, commençant avec le ministère de Mahomet en l’an 606, s’acheva le 22 octobre 1844, lorsque la septième trompette retentit.
The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:14, 15.
Le deuxième malheur est passé; et voici, le troisième malheur vient bientôt. Et le septième ange sonna de la trompette; et il y eut dans le ciel de grandes voix, disant: Les royaumes du monde sont devenus les royaumes de notre Seigneur et de son Christ; et il régnera aux siècles des siècles. Apocalypse 11:14, 15.
During the history of the first two Woes, Constantinople, the capital of eastern Rome, was conquered in 1453, and papal Rome in the west was delivered its deadly wound in 1798. The “scourge of an apostate church,” had brought down both civil and religious Rome. The threefold union of Modern Rome is accomplished at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States.
පළමු ශෝක දෙකේ ඉතිහාසය තුළ, නැගෙනහිර රෝමයේ අගනුවර වූ කොන්ස්ටන්ටිනෝපල් 1453 දී ජයගනු ලැබීය; බටහිර පක්ෂයේ පාප් රෝමය 1798 දී එයට මරණාන්තික පීඩාව එල්ල කරනු ලැබීය. “ධර්මභ්රഷ്ട සභාවක කස පහර,” සිවිල් රෝමයත් ආගමික රෝමයත් දෙකම බිඳ දමා තිබුණේය. ආධುನික රෝමයේ ත්රිත්ව සන්ධානය, එක්සත් ජනපදයේ ඉක්මනින් පැමිණෙන ඉරිදා නීතියේදී සම්පූර්ණ කරනු ලැබේ.
“The Protestants of the United States will be foremost in stretching their hands across the gulf to grasp the hand of Spiritualism; they will reach over the abyss to clasp hands with the Roman power; and under the influence of this threefold union, this country will follow in the steps of Rome in trampling on the rights of conscience.” The Great Controversy, 588.
«Протестанти Сполучених Штатів будуть серед перших, хто простягне свої руки через прірву, щоб ухопити руку Спіритизму; вони простягнуться через безодню, щоб потиснути руку римській владі; і під впливом цього потрійного союзу ця країна піде слідами Риму, потоптуючи права совісті». Велика боротьба, с. 588.
At that time, Islam of the third Woe will accomplish God’s judgment against Modern Rome for its enforcement of Sunday worship, as He did with pagan Rome, and papal Rome. With pagan Rome He employed the first four trumpets to bring an end to Roman rulership in the capital of western Rome by the year 476, for after the year 476, no ruler of the city was of Roman lineage. By 1453 the fifth trumpet of Islam brought Roman rulership of eastern Rome to an end. By 1798, papal rulership of the former tenfold division of the nations of Europe was brought to an end in the history of the sixth trumpet of Islam. The demise of the civil kingdom of Rome, both west and east, and the religious kingdom of Rome was brought about following the enforcement of the pagan worship of the sun.
त्या काळी, तिसऱ्या “Woe” मधील इस्लाम आधुनिक रोमवर देवाचा न्याय पूर्ण करील, तिच्याकडून रविवारी उपासनेची सक्ती करण्यात येत असल्यामुळे, जसे त्याने मूर्तिपूजक रोम व पोपसत्ताक रोम यांच्याबाबत केले. मूर्तिपूजक रोमविरुद्ध त्याने पहिल्या चार तुर्यांचा उपयोग करून इ.स. 476 पर्यंत पश्चिम रोमच्या राजधानीतील रोमन राज्यसत्तेचा अंत घडवून आणला; कारण इ.स. 476 नंतर त्या नगराचा कोणताही शासक रोमन वंशाचा नव्हता. इ.स. 1453 पर्यंत इस्लामच्या पाचव्या तुर्याने पूर्व रोमवरील रोमन राज्यसत्तेचा अंत घडवून आणला. इ.स. 1798 पर्यंत, इस्लामच्या सहाव्या तुर्याच्या इतिहासात, युरोपातील राष्ट्रांच्या पूर्वीच्या दहापटी विभागणीवरील पोपसत्ताक राज्याचा अंत घडवून आणला गेला. रोमच्या नागरी राज्याचे—पश्चिम व पूर्व दोन्ही—आणि रोमच्या धार्मिक राज्याचे पतन, मूर्तिपूजक सूर्योपासनेची सक्ती झाल्यानंतर घडवून आणले गेले.
“The people of the United States have been a favored people; but when they restrict religious liberty, surrender Protestantism, and give countenance to popery, the measure of their guilt will be full, and ‘national apostasy’ will be registered in the books of heaven. The result of this apostasy will be national ruin.” Review and Herald, May 2, 1893.
« Le peuple des États-Unis a été un peuple favorisé ; mais lorsqu’il restreindra la liberté religieuse, abandonnera le protestantisme et accordera sa faveur à la papauté, la mesure de sa culpabilité sera comble, et l’“apostasie nationale” sera inscrite dans les livres du ciel. Le résultat de cette apostasie sera la ruine nationale. » Review and Herald, 2 mai 1893.
The triple application of prophecy establishes the characteristic of the final fulfillment of the prophecy based upon the characteristics of the first two fulfillments. On September 11, 2001 the third Woe arrived in history. It had initially arrived on October 22, 1844, for the third Woe is the seventh trumpet, and that trumpet began to sound at that time. But as with ancient Israel, modern Israel chose rebellion and brought about a period of wandering in the wilderness instead of finishing the work. The sealing time of the third angel was therefore delayed, until it began again on September 11, 2001.
La triple application de la prophétie établit la caractéristique de l’accomplissement final de la prophétie sur la base des caractéristiques des deux premiers accomplissements. Le 11 septembre 2001, le troisième Malheur est entré dans l’histoire. Il était d’abord arrivé le 22 octobre 1844, car le troisième Malheur est la septième trompette, et cette trompette commença alors à retentir. Mais, comme l’ancien Israël, l’Israël moderne choisit la rébellion et provoqua une période d’errance dans le désert au lieu d’achever l’œuvre. Le temps du scellement du troisième ange fut donc retardé, jusqu’à ce qu’il recommence le 11 septembre 2001.
“For forty years did unbelief, murmuring, and rebellion shut out ancient Israel from the land of Canaan. The same sins have delayed the entrance of modern Israel into the heavenly Canaan. In neither case were the promises of God at fault. It is the unbelief, the worldliness, unconsecration, and strife among the Lord’s professed people that have kept us in this world of sin and sorrow so many years.” Selected Messages, book 2, 69.
„Қырық жыл бойы сенімсіздік, күңкілдеу және бүлік ежелгі Исраилді Қанахан жерінен айырды. Сол күнәлар қазіргі Исраилдің көктегі Қанаханға кіруін де кешеуілдетіп келді. Екі жағдайда да кінә Құдайдың уәделерінде болған жоқ. Бізді осы күнә мен қайғы-қасіретке толы дүниеде осыншама жыл ұстап тұрған нәрсе — Жаратқан Иенің атын ұстанамыз деп мойындайтын халқының арасындағы сенімсіздік, дүниешілдік, бағышталмаушылық және алауыздық». Selected Messages, book 2, 69.
God does not change, and He judges according to the available light. Modern Israel had more available light than ancient Israel, and we are informed “the same sins have delayed the entrance of modern Israel into the heavenly Canaan.” If modern Israel was only held accountable to the light which ancient Israel was held accountable to, it would have been enough, but they had more light. Therefore, if it was the “same sins” that caused “ancient Israel” to wander in the wilderness for “forty years,” then not only was modern Israel banished to the “wilderness” in the rebellion of 1863, but they were just as certainly destined to die there. Their “sins” have delayed the work of the third angel until now.

“Said the angel, ‘The third angel is binding, or sealing, them in bundles for the heavenly garner.’ This little company looked careworn, as if they had passed through severe trials and conflicts. And it appeared as if the sun had just risen from behind a cloud and shone upon their countenances, causing them to look triumphant, as if their victories were nearly won.” Early Writings, 88.
«Հրեշտակն ասաց. «Երրորդ հրեշտակը նրանց կապում, այսինքն՝ կնքում է խրձերով՝ երկնային շտեմարանի համար»։ Այս փոքրաթիվ խումբը հոգսաշատ էր երևում, ասես անցած լինեին ծանր փորձությունների և պայքարների միջով։ Եվ թվում էր, թե արևը հենց նոր էր ծագել ամպի հետևից ու լուսավորել էր նրանց դեմքերը՝ պատճառելով, որ նրանք հաղթական տեսք ունենային, ասես նրանց հաղթանակները գրեթե արդեն ձեռք բերված լինեին»։ Վաղ գրություններ, 88։
The same sins that banished ancient Israel to die in the wilderness have delayed the work of the third angel who arrived on October 22, 1844.
Les mêmes péchés qui ont condamné l’ancien Israël à mourir dans le désert ont retardé l’œuvre du troisième ange qui est arrivé le 22 octobre 1844.
“After Jesus opened the door of the most holy, the light of the Sabbath was seen, and the people of God were tested, as the children of Israel were tested anciently, to see if they would keep God’s law. I saw the third angel pointing upward, showing the disappointed ones the way to the holiest of the heavenly sanctuary. As they by faith enter the most holy, they find Jesus, and hope and joy spring up anew. I saw them looking back, reviewing the past, from the proclamation of the second advent of Jesus, down through their experience to the passing of the time in 1844. They see their disappointment explained, and joy and certainty again animate them. The third angel has lighted up the past, the present, and the future, and they know that God has indeed led them by His mysterious providence.” Early Writings, 254.
«После того как Иисус открыл дверь во Святое святых, был увиден свет субботы, и народ Божий был испытан, как древле были испытаны сыны Израилевы, чтобы увидеть, будут ли они соблюдать закон Божий. Я видела третьего ангела, указывающего вверх и показывающего разочарованным путь к Святому святых небесного святилища. Когда они верою входят во Святое святых, они находят Иисуса, и надежда и радость вновь возникают. Я видела, как они оглядываются назад, обозревая прошлое, — от провозглашения второго пришествия Иисуса и через весь свой опыт до истечения времени в 1844 году. Они видят объяснение своему разочарованию, и радость и уверенность снова оживляют их. Третий ангел осветил прошлое, настоящее и будущее, и они знают, что Бог действительно вёл их Своим таинственным провидением». Early Writings, 254.
The third angel is the sealing angel, and he arrived on October 22, 1844, but his work was delayed by the same sins that caused ancient Israel to die in the wilderness. The delay caused by the rebellion of 1863, was a delaying of the work of the third angel, and therefore the sealing has been hindered and delayed for over one hundred years.

“[Numbers 32:6–15, quoted.] The Lord God is a jealous God, yet He bears long with the sins and transgressions of His people in this generation. If the people of God had walked in His counsel, the work of God would have advanced, the messages of truth would have been borne to all people that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Had the people of God believed Him and been doers of His word, had they kept His commandments, the angel would not have come flying through heaven with the message to the four angels that were to let loose the winds that they should blow upon the earth crying, Hold, hold the four winds that they blow not upon the earth until I have sealed the servants of God in their foreheads. But because the people are disobedient, unthankful, unholy, as were ancient Israel, time is prolonged that all may hear the last message of mercy proclaimed with a loud voice. The Lord’s work has been hindered, the sealing time delayed. Many have not heard the truth. But the Lord will give them a chance to hear and be converted, and the great work of God will go forward.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 292.
«[Hesabu 32:6–15, imenukuliwa.] Bwana Mungu ni Mungu mwenye wivu, hata hivyo huvumilia kwa muda mrefu dhambi na makosa ya watu Wake katika kizazi hiki. Kama watu wa Mungu wangetembea katika shauri Lake, kazi ya Mungu ingekuwa imesonga mbele, jumbe za kweli zingekuwa zimepelekwa kwa watu wote wakaao juu ya uso wa dunia yote. Kama watu wa Mungu wangemwamini na kuwa watendaji wa neno Lake, kama wangeyashika maagizo Yake, yule malaika asingekuja akiruka katikati ya mbingu akiwa na ujumbe kwa wale malaika wanne waliokuwa waachilie pepo ili zivume juu ya nchi, akisema, Zuieni, zuieni pepo nne zisivume juu ya nchi hata nitakapowatia muhuri watumishi wa Mungu katika vipaji vya nyuso zao. Lakini kwa sababu watu hawatii, hawana shukrani, si watakatifu, kama ilivyokuwa Israeli ya kale, wakati umeongezwa ili wote wapate kuisikia jumbe ya mwisho ya rehema ikitangazwa kwa sauti kuu. Kazi ya Bwana imezuiliwa, wakati wa kutiwa muhuri umecheleweshwa. Wengi hawajaisikia kweli. Lakini Bwana atawapa nafasi ya kusikia na kuongoka, nayo kazi kuu ya Mungu itasonga mbele.» Manuscript Releases, juzuu ya 15, 292.
On September 11, 2001 the third angel arrived again, and the sealing time which had been delayed since the rebellion of 1863, began again. It was the arrival of Islam of the third Woe, which is also the seventh trumpet that marks the beginning of the sealing time. The sealing time began with the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844, when the seventh trumpet began to sound, but that trumpet was hindered and delayed.

And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:5–7.
E o anjo que vi estar em pé sobre o mar e sobre a terra levantou a mão ao céu, e jurou por aquele que vive para todo o sempre, o qual criou o céu, e as coisas que nele há, e a terra, e as coisas que nela há, e o mar, e as coisas que nele há, que não haveria mais demora; mas, nos dias da voz do sétimo anjo, quando ele estiver para tocar a trombeta, então se cumprirá o mistério de Deus, como ele anunciou aos seus servos, os profetas. Apocalipse 10:5–7.
The “voice” of the seventh angel, is the voice of the angel of Revelation chapter eighteen, which descended when the great buildings of New York City were thrown down.
“स्वर” सातौँ स्वर्गदूतको, प्रकाशको अठारौँ अध्यायका स्वर्गदूतकै स्वर हो, जो त्यस बेला ओर्लियो जब न्यु योर्क सहरका महान् भवनहरू ढालिए।
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Revelation 18:1–3.
Na baada ya mambo hayo nikaona malaika mwingine akishuka kutoka mbinguni, akiwa na uwezo mkuu; nayo dunia ikaangazwa kwa utukufu wake. Akalia kwa nguvu kwa sauti kuu, akisema, Babeli ule mkuu umeanguka, umeanguka, nao umekuwa makao ya pepo, na ngome ya kila roho mchafu, na kizimba cha kila ndege mchafu na wa kuchukiza. Kwa maana mataifa yote yamekunywa divai ya ghadhabu ya uasherati wake, na wafalme wa dunia wamezini naye, nao wafanyabiashara wa dunia wamepata utajiri kwa wingi wa anasa zake. Ufunuo 18:1–3.
The “voice” of the mighty angel who descends, commands the angels to hold the four winds, that are represented as an “angry horse” seeking to break loose and bring death and destruction in its path.
Le « ff » de l’ange puissant qui descend ordonne aux anges de retenir les quatre vents, lesquels sont représentés comme un « cheval en colère » cherchant à se déchaîner et à semer la mort et la destruction sur son passage.
“The angels of God do His bidding, holding back the winds of the earth, that the winds should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree, until the servants of God should be sealed in their foreheads. The mighty angel is seen ascending from the east (or sunrising). This mightiest of angels has in his hand the seal of the living God, or of Him who alone can give life, who can inscribe upon the foreheads the mark or inscription, to whom shall be granted immortality, eternal life. It is the voice of this highest angel that had authority to command the four angels to keep in check the four winds until this work was performed, and until he should give the summons to let them loose.” Testimonies to Ministers, 445.
„Angyalai Istennek az Ő parancsát teljesítik, visszatartva a föld szele it, hogy a szelek ne fújjanak sem a földre, sem a tengerre, sem egyetlen fára sem, mígnem Isten szolgái elpecsételtetnek homlokukon. A hatalmas angyal keletről (vagy napkelet felől) felemelkedni látszik. E leghatalmasabb angyal kezében van az élő Isten pecsétje, vagy Annaké, aki egyedül adhat életet, aki a homlokokra felírhatja a jelet vagy feliratot azok számára, akiknek halhatatlanság, örök élet adatik. E legmagasabb rendű angyal szava volt az, amely felhatalmazással bírt arra, hogy megparancsolja a négy angyalnak: tartsák féken a négy szelet mindaddig, amíg e munka be nem fejeződik, és amíg ő maga jelt nem ad azok szabadon bocsátására.” Testimonies to Ministers, 445.
The angel who commands the four angels to hold the winds, is the angel of Revelation chapter eighteen who lightens the earth with His glory, and his “strong voice” is the voice of the seventh angel.
L’anjo ki donn lord sa kat anjo-la pou tini van-la, se anjo-a dan Revelasyon sapit dizwit ki klere later avek laglwar Li, e so “lavwa for” se lavwa setyenm anjo-a.
“And what a representation is given in Revelation 7 for our consideration and comfort and encouragement! The four angels are commissioned to do a work upon the earth. But One who purchased the world by giving Himself for its ransom has a chosen few. Who? Those who are keeping all of the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus.
« Et quelle représentation nous est donnée dans Apocalypse 7 pour notre réflexion, notre consolation et notre encouragement ! Les quatre anges reçoivent la mission d’accomplir une œuvre sur la terre. Mais Celui qui a acquis le monde en se donnant Lui-même comme rançon a quelques élus. Qui sont-ils ? Ceux qui gardent tous les commandements de Dieu et ont la foi de Jésus. »
“John’s attention was called to another scene: ‘And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God’ (Revelation 7:2). Who is this? The Angel of the covenant. He comes from the sunrising. He is the Dayspring from on high. He is the Light of the world. ‘In Him was life; and the life was the light of men’ (John 1:4). This is the One Isaiah describes: ‘Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace’ (Isaiah 9:6). He cried, as One who had superiority over the hosts of angels in heaven ‘to whom it was given to hurt the earth, and the sea, saying, “hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads” (Revelation 7:2, 3).
“Yohanesin huomiota kiinnitettiin toiseen näkyyn: ‘Ja minä näin erään toisen enkelin nousevan auringon noususta, ja hänellä oli elävän Jumalan sinetti’ (Ilmestys 7:2). Kuka tämä on? Liiton Enkeli. Hän tulee auringonnoususta. Hän on koitto korkeudesta. Hän on maailman Valo. ‘Hänessä oli elämä, ja elämä oli ihmisten valo’ (Johannes 1:4). Tämä on Hän, josta Jesaja sanoo: ‘Sillä lapsi on meille syntynyt, poika on meille annettu, ja herraus on hänen olallansa, ja hänen nimensä on Ihmeellinen, Neuvonantaja, Väkevä Jumala, Iankaikkinen Isä, Rauhanruhtinas’ (Jesaja 9:6). Hän huusi, niin kuin Hän, jolla oli ylemmyys taivaan enkelijoukkoihin nähden, ‘joille oli annettu valta vahingoittaa maata ja merta’, sanoen: ‘Älkää vahingoittako maata älkääkä merta älkääkä puita, ennen kuin me olemme merkinneet Jumalamme palvelijat heidän otsiinsa’ (Ilmestys 7:2, 3).”
“Here is the divine and human united. The command is given to the four angels to hold in check the four winds until they receive His summons. Read the entire chapter. The cry, ‘Hurt not,’ is uttered by the Restorer, the Redeemer.
« Ici, le divin et l’humain sont unis. L’ordre est donné aux quatre anges de retenir les quatre vents jusqu’à ce qu’ils reçoivent son appel. Lisez le chapitre entier. Le cri : “Ne faites point de mal”, est prononcé par le Restaurateur, le Rédempteur. »
“Judgment and wrath were to be repressed only for a little space until a certain work was done. The message, the last message of warning and mercy, has been retarded in doing its work by the selfish love of money, the selfish love of ease, and the unfitness of man to do a work that needs to be done. The angel that is to lighten the earth with His glory has waited for human instrumentalities through whom the light of heaven could shine, and they thus cooperate to give, in its sacred, solemn importance, the message which is to decide the destiny of the world.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 222.
“ఫలితదండనయు క్రోధమును ఒక నిర్దిష్ట కార్యము పూర్తిచేయబడువరకు కేవలం కొద్ది కాలమాత్రమే అదుపులో ఉంచవలసి యుండెను. సందేశము—అనగా హెచ్చరికయు కృపయు కలిగిన ఆఖరి సందేశము—ధనముపట్లనున్న స్వార్థప్రేమచేత, సుఖసౌకర్యముపట్లనున్న స్వార్థప్రేమచేత, చేయబడవలసిన కార్యమును చేయుటకు మనుష్యుని అనర్హతచేత, తన కార్యసిద్ధిని ఆలస్యపరచబడెను. తన మహిమతో భూమిని ప్రకాశింపజేయవలసిన ఆ దూత, పరలోకజ్యోతి ప్రకాశించగల మానవ సాధనములకొరకు నిరీక్షించుచుండెను; అట్లు వారు సహకరించి, లోకపు గమ్యమును నిర్ణయించబోవు ఆ సందేశమును దాని పవిత్రమైన, గంభీరమైన ప్రాముఖ్యతతో అందించుదురు.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 222.
The third angel, who is Christ, is also the sealing angel who arrived on October 22, 1844, but due to the disobedience of God’s people, His work of sealing the one hundred and forty-four thousand has been delayed until September 11, 2001. Then Islam of the third Woe, brought down the great buildings of New York, and the sealing process began. At that point the nations became “angry, yet held in check”. The first voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, is the voice that commands the four angels to hold, while God’s people are sealed.
ച്രിസ്തുവായ മൂന്നാമത്തെ ദൂതൻ, 1844 ഒക്ടോബർ 22-ന് എത്തിയ മുദ്രയിടുന്ന ദൂതനും ആകുന്നു; എന്നാൽ ദൈവജനത്തിന്റെ അനുസരണക്കേടിനാൽ, ഒരു ലക്ഷം നാല്പത്തിനാലായിരം പേർക്ക് മുദ്രയിടുന്ന അവന്റെ പ്രവർത്തി 2001 സെപ്റ്റംബർ 11 വരെ താമസിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ടു. തുടർന്ന് മൂന്നാം അയ്യോവിന്റെ ഇസ്ലാം ന്യൂയോർക്കിലെ മഹത്തായ കെട്ടിടങ്ങളെ തകർത്തുവീഴ്ത്തി, അപ്പോൾ തന്നെയാണ് മുദ്രയിടുന്ന പ്രക്രിയ ആരംഭിച്ചത്. ആ ഘട്ടത്തിൽ ജാതികൾ “ക്രുദ്ധരായി, എങ്കിലും നിയന്ത്രണത്തിൽ പിടിച്ചുനിർത്തപ്പെട്ടവരായി” മാറി. വെളിപ്പാട് അദ്ധ്യായം പതിനെട്ടിലെ ആദ്യ ശബ്ദം, ദൈവജനത്തിന് മുദ്രയിടപ്പെടുമ്പോൾ നാലു ദൂതന്മാരെയും പിടിച്ചുനിർത്തുവാൻ കല്പിക്കുന്ന ശബ്ദമാണ്.
Jesus always illustrates the ending with the beginning, and on February 26, 1993, Islam of the third Woe detonated a truck bomb in the underground parking garage of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The explosion resulted in significant damage to the building, killing six people and injuring over a thousand others. While the attack did not bring down the towers, it was a significant act of terrorism on U.S. soil and foreshadowed the events of September 11, 2001.
Yesu daima huonesha mwisho kwa mwanzo, na tarehe 26 Februari 1993, Uislamu wa ole wa tatu ulilipua bomu la lori katika gereji ya maegesho ya chini ya ardhi ya Mnara wa Kaskazini wa Kituo cha Biashara cha Dunia. Mlipuko huo ulisababisha uharibifu mkubwa kwa jengo hilo, ukiwaua watu sita na kuwajeruhi zaidi ya elfu moja wengine. Ingawa shambulio hilo halikuangusha minara hiyo, lilikuwa tendo kubwa la ugaidi katika ardhi ya Marekani na lilitangulia kuonyesha matukio ya Septemba 11, 2001.
The sealing time began on September 11, 2001, but it included a forewarning eight years before. The Islamic attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 is a forewarning of the ending of the sealing time. The prophetic characteristics of the third Woe have been established with the prophetic characteristics of the first two Woes. In the opening verses of chapter nine of Revelation the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is illustrated.
लेपनको समय सेप्टेम्बर 11, 2001 मा आरम्भ भयो, तर त्यसमा आठ वर्षअघिको एक पूर्वचेतावनी समावेश थियो। अक्टोबर 7, 2023 मा इस्राएलमाथि भएको इस्लामिक आक्रमण लेपनको समयको अन्त्यको एक पूर्वचेतावनी हो। तेस्रो धिक्कारका भविष्यसूचक विशेषताहरू पहिलो दुई धिक्कारका भविष्यसूचक विशेषताहरूसँग स्थापित भएका छन्। प्रकाशको पुस्तकको नवौं अध्यायका आरम्भिक पदहरूमा एक लाख चवालीस हजारको लेपन चित्रित गरिएको छ।
We will consider that subject in the next article.

“If such scenes as this are to come, such tremendous judgments on a guilty world, where will be the refuge for God’s people? How will they be sheltered until the indignation be overpast? John sees the elements of nature—earthquake, tempest, and political strife—represented as being held by four angels. These winds are under control until God gives the word to let them go. There is the safety of God’s church. The angels of God do His bidding, holding back the winds of the earth, that the winds should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree, until the servants of God should be sealed in their foreheads. The mighty angel is seen ascending from the east (or sunrising). This mightiest of angels has in his hand the seal of the living God, or of Him who alone can give life, who can inscribe upon the foreheads the mark or inscription, to whom shall be granted immortality, eternal life. It is the voice of this highest angel that had authority to command the four angels to keep in check the four winds until this work was performed, and until he should give the summons to let them loose.
“若有如此的景象将要来到，若有如此可畏的审判临到这有罪的世界，上帝的子民将往何处避难？他们将如何蒙保守，直到忿怒过去？约翰看见自然界的诸力——地震、风暴，以及政治的纷争——被表征为由四位天使执持。这些风受约束，直到上帝发命释放它们。这里就是上帝教会的安全所在。上帝的使者遵行祂的命令，拦阻地上的风，叫风不可吹在地上、海上，或任何树上，直等上帝的仆人都受印在他们的额上。又见那大能的天使从东方（日出之处）上来。这位最有能力的天使手中拿着永生上帝的印，或说那位独一能赐生命者的印；惟有祂能在人的额上写上记号或题字，凡蒙赐予不朽、永生的人，皆属乎祂。正是这位至高天使的声音，有权柄吩咐那四位天使抑制四风，直到这工作完成，并且直到他发出命令，叫它们释放。”
“Those that overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil, will be the favored ones who shall receive the seal of the living God. Those whose hands are not clean, whose hearts are not pure, will not have the seal of the living God. Those who are planning sin and acting it will be passed by. Only those who, in their attitude before God, are filling the position of those who are repenting and confessing their sins in the great anti-typical Day of Atonement, will be recognized and marked as worthy of God’s protection. The names of those who are steadfastly looking and waiting and watching for the appearing of their Saviour—more earnestly and wishfully than they who wait for the morning—will be numbered with those who are sealed. Those who, while having all the light of truth flashing upon their souls, should have works corresponding to their avowed faith, but are allured by sin, setting up idols in their hearts, corrupting their souls before God, and polluting those who unite with them in sin, will have their names blotted out of the book of life, and be left in midnight darkness, having no oil in their vessels with their lamps. ‘Unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings.’
“वह लोग जो संसार, शरीर और शैतान पर जय प्राप्त करते हैं, वही वे अनुग्रह-प्राप्त जन होंगे जो जीवते परमेश्वर की मुहर पाएँगे। जिनके हाथ शुद्ध नहीं, जिनके हृदय पवित्र नहीं, उन पर जीवते परमेश्वर की मुहर न होगी। जो पाप की योजना बनाते और उसे कार्य में लाते हैं, वे छोड़ दिए जाएँगे। केवल वही, जो परमेश्वर के सामने अपनी मनोवृत्ति में महान प्रतिरूपात्मक प्रायश्चित्त के दिन पश्चात्ताप करने और अपने पापों को स्वीकार करने वालों की स्थिति धारण किए हुए हैं, परमेश्वर की रक्षा के योग्य मानकर पहचाने और चिन्हित किए जाएँगे। जो अपने उद्धारकर्ता के प्रकट होने की बाट जोहते, उसकी प्रतीक्षा करते, और उसके लिए चौकसी रखते हैं—उनसे भी अधिक earnest और अभिलाषापूर्वक जो भोर की प्रतीक्षा करते हैं—उनके नाम मुहरबंद किए हुओं के साथ गिने जाएँगे। वे लोग, जिनकी आत्माओं पर सत्य का समस्त प्रकाश चमक रहा है, और जिन्हें अपने अंगीकृत विश्वास के अनुरूप कार्य करने चाहिए, परन्तु जो पाप से मोहित होकर अपने हृदयों में मूरतें स्थापित करते हैं, परमेश्वर के सामने अपनी आत्माओं को भ्रष्ट करते हैं, और जो पाप में उनके साथ मिलते हैं उन्हें भी अशुद्ध करते हैं, उनके नाम जीवन की पुस्तक में से मिटा दिए जाएँगे, और वे आधी रात के अंधकार में छोड़ दिए जाएँगे, क्योंकि उनके दीयों के साथ उनकी कलसियों में तेल न होगा। ‘परन्तु तुम्हारे लिये, जो मेरे नाम का भय मानते हो, धर्म का सूर्य अपने पंखों में चंगाई लिये उदय होगा।’”
“This sealing of the servants of God is the same that was shown to Ezekiel in vision. John also had been a witness of this most startling revelation. He saw the sea and the waves roaring, and men’s hearts failing them for fear. He beheld the earth moved, and the mountains carried into the midst of the sea (which is literally taking place), the water thereof roaring and troubled, and the mountains shaking with the swelling thereof. He was shown plagues, pestilence, famine, and death performing their terrible mission.” Testimonies to Ministers, 445.
“Ntango wana ya kotiya elembo na basaleli ya Nzambe ezali kaka yango moko oyo emonisamaki epai ya Ezekiele na emonaneli. Yoane mpe azalaki motatoli ya emoniseli oyo ya kokamwa mingi.
