Christ pointed His people to the budding trees of Spring, in order that they would understand the “signs” and the implication of the “signs” of the last days.
Krist te wijst Zijn volk op de ontluikende bomen van de lente, opdat zij de “tekenen” en de betekenis van de “tekenen” van de laatste dagen zouden begrijpen.
“Christ had bidden His people watch for the signs of His advent and rejoice as they should behold the tokens of their coming King. ‘When these things begin to come to pass,’ He said, ‘then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.’ He pointed His followers to the budding trees of spring, and said: ‘When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.’ Luke 21:28, 30, 31.” The Great Controversy, 308.
«Քրիստոսը պատվիրել էր Իր ժողովրդին հսկել Իր գալստյան նշաններին և ցնծալ, երբ պիտի տեսնեին իրենց եկող Թագավորի նշանները։ «Երբ այս բաները սկսեն կատարվել,— ասաց Նա,— այն ժամանակ վեր նայեցե՛ք և ձեր գլուխները բարձրացրե՛ք, որովհետև ձեր փրկությունը մոտեցել է»։ Նա Իր հետևորդների ուշադրությունը դարձրեց գարնան բողբոջող ծառերին և ասաց. «Երբ դրանք այժմ ընձյուղեն, դուք ինքներդ տեսնում և իմանում եք, որ ամառը արդեն մոտ է։ Նույնպես և դուք, երբ տեսնեք, որ այս բաները կատարվում են, իմացե՛ք, որ Աստծո արքայությունը մոտ է»։ Ղուկաս 21:28, 30, 31»։ Մեծ պայքարը, 308։
The “signs” of the last days were typified by the “signs,” that announced and ushered in the movement of the first angel. Those “signs” included the shaking of the heavens, but Joel identifies that the “signs” of the last days, the days when the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for and not found, when God’s holy mountain is holy forever, for no strangers will ever pass through her again, the shaking of the powers of the heavens, will also include the shaking of the powers of earth. Sister White identifies the distinction between the shaking of the powers of the heavens and the powers of the earth.
“අවසාන දවස්වල ලකුණු” පළමු දූතයාගේ චලනය ප්රකාශ කර එය ආරම්භ කරවූ “ලකුණු” මගින් පූර්වරූපිත කරනු ලැබීය. ඒ “ලකුණු” අතර ස්වර්ගයන්ගේ කම්පා වීම ඇතුළත් විය; එහෙත් යෝවෙල් හඳුනා දෙන්නේ, අවසාන දවස්වල “ලකුණු”—ඒ දවස්වල, ඉශ්රායෙල්ගේ අපරාධය සොයනු ලැබුවද එය නොලැබෙන කල, දෙවියන්වහන්සේගේ ශුද්ධ කන්ද සදාකාලයට ශුද්ධ වන කල, මක්නිසාද ආගන්තුකයෝ තවදුරටත් කිසි කලෙකත් ඇය තුළින් ගමන් නොකරන බැවින්—ස්වර්ගයේ බලයන්ගේ කම්පා වීම පමණක් නොව, පෘථිවියේ බලයන්ගේ කම්පා වීමද ඇතුළත් වන බවය. සොහොයුරිය වයිට් ස්වර්ගයේ බලයන්ගේ කම්පා වීම සහ පෘථිවියේ බලයන්ගේ කම්පා වීම අතර ඇති වෙනස හඳුනා දෙයි.
“December 16, 1848, the Lord gave me a view of the shaking of the powers of the heavens. I saw that when the Lord said ‘heaven,’ in giving the signs recorded by Matthew, Mark, and Luke, He meant heaven, and when He said ‘earth’ He meant earth. The powers of heaven are the sun, moon, and stars. They rule in the heavens. The powers of earth are those that rule on the earth. The powers of heaven will be shaken at the voice of God. Then the sun, moon, and stars will be moved out of their places. They will not pass away, but be shaken by the voice of God.
«Le 16 décembre 1848, le Seigneur me donna une vision de l’ébranlement des puissances des cieux. Je vis que, lorsque le Seigneur disait “ciel”, en donnant les signes rapportés par Matthieu, Marc et Luc, Il entendait le ciel, et lorsqu’Il disait “terre”, Il entendait la terre. Les puissances du ciel sont le soleil, la lune et les étoiles. Elles dominent dans les cieux. Les puissances de la terre sont celles qui dominent sur la terre. Les puissances des cieux seront ébranlées à la voix de Dieu. Alors le soleil, la lune et les étoiles seront déplacés de leurs places. Ils ne disparaîtront pas, mais seront ébranlés par la voix de Dieu.
“Dark, heavy clouds came up and clashed against each other. The atmosphere parted and rolled back; then we could look up through the open space in Orion, whence came the voice of God. The Holy City will come down through that open space. I saw that the powers of earth are now being shaken and that events come in order. War, and rumors of war, sword, famine, and pestilence are first to shake the powers of earth, then the voice of God will shake the sun, moon, and stars, and this earth also. I saw that the shaking of the powers in Europe is not, as some teach, the shaking of the powers of heaven, but it is the shaking of the angry nations.” Early Writings, 41.

The shaking of the heavens in Matthew, Mark and Luke represent the shaking of the powers that rule the heavens, as represented by the sun, moon and stars. All of these heavenly powers were shaken, and produced the “signs,” which ushered in and announced the movement of the first angel. Those heavenly powers will be again shaken during the movement of the third angel. But in the movement of the third angel, the powers of earth will also be shaken. The powers of earth are the powers that rule the earth. On September 11, 2001, the powers of earth, not heaven, were shaken.
En Matthieu, Marc et Luc, l’ébranlement des cieux représente l’ébranlement des puissances qui gouvernent les cieux, telles qu’elles sont représentées par le soleil, la lune et les étoiles. Toutes ces puissances célestes furent ébranlées et produisirent les « signes », qui introduisirent et annoncèrent le mouvement du premier ange. Ces puissances célestes seront de nouveau ébranlées durant le mouvement du troisième ange. Mais, dans le mouvement du troisième ange, les puissances de la terre seront également ébranlées. Les puissances de la terre sont les puissances qui gouvernent la terre. Le 11 septembre 2001, ce furent les puissances de la terre, et non celles du ciel, qui furent ébranlées.
“Now comes the word that I have declared that New York is to be swept away by a tidal wave? This I have never said. I have said, as I looked at the great buildings going up there, story after story, ‘What terrible scenes will take place when the Lord shall arise to shake terribly the earth! Then the words of Revelation 18:1–3 will be fulfilled.’ The whole of the eighteenth chapter of Revelation is a warning of what is coming on the earth. But I have no light in particular in regard to what is coming on New York, only that I know that one day the great buildings there will be thrown down by the turning and overturning of God’s power. From the light given me, I know that destruction is in the world. One word from the Lord, one touch of his mighty power, and these massive structures will fall. Scenes will take place the fearfulness of which we cannot imagine.” Review and Herald, July 5, 1906.
“क्या अब यह बात फैलाई जा रही है कि मैंने यह घोषित किया है कि न्यूयॉर्क ज्वारीय लहर से बहा दिया जाएगा? यह मैंने कभी नहीं कहा। मैंने इतना अवश्य कहा है कि जब मैं वहाँ एक के ऊपर एक उठती हुई उन विशाल इमारतों को देखती थी, तब मैंने कहा, ‘जब प्रभु भयानक रीति से पृथ्वी को कंपाने के लिए उठ खड़ा होगा, तब कैसे भयावह दृश्य घटित होंगे! तब प्रकाशितवाक्य 18:1–3 के वचन पूरे होंगे।’ प्रकाशितवाक्य का अठारहवाँ अध्याय संपूर्ण रूप से इस बात की चेतावनी है कि पृथ्वी पर क्या आनेवाला है। परन्तु न्यूयॉर्क पर विशेष रूप से क्या आनेवाला है, इसके संबंध में मुझे कोई विशेष प्रकाश नहीं मिला है; केवल इतना जानती हूँ कि एक दिन वहाँ की वे महान इमारतें परमेश्वर की शक्ति के फेरने और उलटने-पलटने से ढहा दी जाएँगी। मुझे दिए गए प्रकाश से मैं जानती हूँ कि संसार में विनाश उपस्थित है। प्रभु का एक वचन, उसकी सामर्थ्य का एक स्पर्श, और ये विशाल संरचनाएँ गिर पड़ेंगी। ऐसे दृश्य घटित होंगे जिनकी भयावहता की हम कल्पना भी नहीं कर सकते।” Review and Herald, July 5, 1906.
In the history of the Millerites one of the signs recorded by Luke was the “distress of nations.” The nations represent the powers that rule the earth, and on September 11, 2001, every nation on earth was shaken as the third Woe arrived into prophetic history. That earthly shaking was represented in Luke twenty-one, but not by the biblical expression of the shaking of the powers of the earth. It was represented by the phrase, “the distress of nations,” as was brought upon the nations of the world when the great buildings of New York were brought down. “The distress of nations” in Luke is the shaking of the powers of earth, and it was fulfilled in the history of the Millerites.

“I saw that the powers of earth are now being shaken and that events come in order. War, and rumors of war, sword, famine, and pestilence are first to shake the powers of earth, then the voice of God will shake the sun, moon, and stars, and this earth also. I saw that the shaking of the powers in Europe is not, as some teach, the shaking of the powers of heaven, but it is the shaking of the angry nations.” Early Writings, 41.
« Di kompran ki puisansté latè-la ka soukwé atjela, épi ki bann évènman ka vini an lòd. Lagè, épi bri lagè, zéklé, grangou, épi maladi kontajyé sé prémyé bagay-la pou soukwé puisansté latè; apré sa, vwa Bondyé kay soukwé soley-la, lalin-lan, épi zétwal-yo, épi latè tala osi. Di wè ki soukwaj puisansté an Ewòp pa, kon kèk moun ka anségné, soukwaj puisansté syèl-la; mé sé soukwaj nasyon an kolè yo. » Early Writings, 41.
The “shaking of the powers of the angry nations,” is the shaking of the “powers of earth,” as illustrated in the early history of Adventism by the shaking of the “powers in Europe.” Uriah Smith identified what was shaking the powers in Europe in 1838.
Ang “pagyanig ng mga kapangyarihan ng mga nagagalit na bansa” ay ang pagyanig ng “mga kapangyarihan ng lupa,” gaya ng inilarawan sa maagang kasaysayan ng Adventismo sa pamamagitan ng pagyanig ng “mga kapangyarihan sa Europa.” Tinukoy ni Uriah Smith kung ano ang nagpapayanig sa mga kapangyarihan sa Europa noong 1838.
“As the prophetic period of this [6th] trumpet commenced by the voluntary surrender of power into the hands of the Turks by the Christian emperor of the East, so we might justly conclude that its termination would be marked by the voluntary surrender of that power by the Turkish Sultan back again into the hands of the Christians. In 1838 Turkey became involved in war with Egypt. The Egyptians bid fair to overthrow the Turkish power. To prevent this, the four great powers of Europe, England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, interfered to sustain the Turkish government. Turkey accepted their intervention. A conference was held in London at which an ultimatum was drawn up to be presented to Mehemet Ali, the Pacha of Egypt. It is evident that when this ultimatum should be placed in the hands of Mehemet, the destiny of the Ottoman Empire would be virtually lodged in the hands of the Christian powers of Europe. This ultimatum was placed in the hands of Mehemet on the 11th day of August 1840! and on that very day the Sultan addressed a note to the ambassadors of the four powers, inquiring what should be done in case Mehemet refused to comply with the terms which they had proposed. The answer was that he need not alarm himself about any contingency that might arise; for they had made provision for that. The prophetic period ended, and on that very day the control of Mohammedan affairs passed into the hands of Christians, just as the control of Christian affairs had passed into the hands of the Mohammedans 391 years and 15 days before. Thus the second woe ended, and the sixth trumpet ceased its sounding.” Uriah Smith, Synopsis of Present Truth, 218.
„Wie die prophetische Zeit dieser [6.] Posaune mit der freiwilligen Übergabe der Macht in die Hände der Türken durch den christlichen Kaiser des Ostens begann, so dürfen wir mit Recht schlussfolgern, dass ihr Ende durch die freiwillige Übergabe eben dieser Macht durch den türkischen Sultan wiederum in die Hände der Christen gekennzeichnet sein würde. Im Jahr 1838 wurde die Türkei in einen Krieg mit Ägypten verwickelt. Die Ägypter schienen im Begriff zu sein, die türkische Macht zu stürzen. Um dies zu verhindern, griffen die vier Großmächte Europas – England, Russland, Österreich und Preußen – ein, um die türkische Regierung zu stützen. Die Türkei nahm ihr Eingreifen an. In London wurde eine Konferenz abgehalten, auf der ein Ultimatum ausgearbeitet wurde, das Mehemet Ali, dem Pascha von Ägypten, vorgelegt werden sollte. Es ist offensichtlich, dass in dem Augenblick, da dieses Ultimatum in die Hände Mehemets gelegt wurde, das Schicksal des Osmanischen Reiches tatsächlich in die Hände der christlichen Mächte Europas gelegt war. Dieses Ultimatum wurde Mehemet am 11. August 1840 übergeben! Und an ebendiesem Tag richtete der Sultan eine Note an die Botschafter der vier Mächte und erkundigte sich, was im Falle zu tun sei, dass Mehemet sich weigere, den von ihnen vorgeschlagenen Bedingungen nachzukommen. Die Antwort lautete, er brauche sich über keinen etwa eintretenden Fall zu beunruhigen; denn sie hätten dafür Vorsorge getroffen. Die prophetische Zeit endete, und an eben jenem Tag ging die Kontrolle über die mohammedanischen Angelegenheiten in die Hände der Christen über, so wie die Kontrolle über die christlichen Angelegenheiten 391 Jahre und 15 Tage zuvor in die Hände der Mohammedaner übergegangen war. So endete das zweite Wehe, und die sechste Posaune hörte auf zu erschallen.“ Uriah Smith, Synopsis of Present Truth, 218.
Islam of the second Woe, had passed the zenith of its power, which according to God’s word was to continue for three hundred and ninety-one years and fifteen days. Yet in the 1830’s Egypt was attempting to re-establish a caliphate in Egypt for the purpose of continuing the second great jihad of Muslim history. The possibility of more Islamic warfare was causing the European powers to shake in fear. For decades the crisis of Islam re-igniting its warfare was labelled by the historians and the reporters of those years as the “Eastern Question.” The warfare of the children of the east had been carried out for centuries against the nations of Europe, who derived their religion from the Roman church. In 1838, “the distress of nations,” referred to by Christ represented the shaking of the angry nations that was produced by the warfare brought against the former Roman Empire by Islam.
L’islam du second Malheur avait dépassé le zénith de sa puissance, laquelle, selon la parole de Dieu, devait durer trois cent quatre-vingt-onze ans et quinze jours. Pourtant, dans les années 1830, l’Égypte tentait de rétablir un califat en Égypte afin de poursuivre le second grand jihad de l’histoire musulmane. La possibilité de nouvelles guerres islamiques faisait trembler de peur les puissances européennes. Pendant des décennies, la crise d’un islam rallumant sa guerre fut désignée par les historiens et les journalistes de ces années-là comme la « Question d’Orient ». La guerre des fils de l’orient avait été menée pendant des siècles contre les nations de l’Europe, qui tenaient leur religion de l’Église romaine. En 1838, « la détresse des nations », mentionnée par le Christ, représentait l’ébranlement des nations irritées produit par la guerre portée contre l’ancien Empire romain par l’islam.
“By [loosing] the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates, I understand that God was now about to suffer the four principal nations of which the Ottoman empire was composed, which had in vain attempted to subdue the Eastern Empire at Constantinople, and made but little progress in conquering Europe, now to take Constantinople, and to overrun and subdue one third part of Europe, which was the fact about the middle of the fifteenth century.” Works of William Miller, Volume 2, 121.
« Par le fait de [délier] les quatre anges qui sont liés sur le grand fleuve Euphrate, j’entends que Dieu allait alors permettre aux quatre principales nations dont se composait l’empire ottoman, lesquelles avaient vainement tenté de soumettre l’Empire d’Orient à Constantinople et n’avaient fait que peu de progrès dans la conquête de l’Europe, de prendre maintenant Constantinople, et d’envahir et de subjuguer le tiers de l’Europe, ce qui fut en effet le cas vers le milieu du quinzième siècle. » Works of William Miller, Volume 2, 121.
The distress of nations in the narrative found in Luke was “with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring,” and with men’s “hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth.” The perplexity of the Eastern Question continued to agitate the powers of earth all the way into the twentieth century, and the symbol of that distress was “men’s hearts failing them for fear” and the “sea and waves roaring.”

“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.
«Bunların Allah’ın kullarının mühürlenmesi, Hezekiel’e görümlerde gösterilenin aynısıdır. Yuhanna da bu son derece sarsıcı vahye tanıklık etmişti. Denizin ve dalgaların kükrediğini, insanların yüreklerinin korkudan bayıldığını gördü. Yerin sarsıldığını ve dağların denizin ortasına taşındığını (ki bu, sözün tam anlamıyla gerçekleşmektedir), sularının kükreyip çalkalandığını ve dağların kabarmasıyla sarsıldığını müşahede etti. Ona, korkunç görevlerini yerine getiren belâlar, salgın hastalık, kıtlık ve ölüm gösterildi.» Testimonies to Ministers, 445.
When John was shown the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, he saw the distress of nations, as represented by the seas and waves roaring, and men’s hearts failing for fear, and it was the same sealing that Ezekiel was shown in chapter nine. Ezekiel was shown the internal elements of the sealing and John was shown the external elements associated with the sealing. John saw that the angering of the nations is associated with the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the angering of the nations is also Luke’s distress of nations which is historically identified as the Eastern Question. John was shown that Islam of the third Woe, is the external sign of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

“The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the strained, restless relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place—that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.
« Le temps présent est, pour tous les vivants, une période d’un intérêt saisissant. Les dirigeants et les hommes d’État, ceux qui occupent des positions de confiance et d’autorité, les hommes et les femmes réfléchis de toutes les classes, ont l’attention fixée sur les événements qui se déroulent autour de nous. Ils observent les relations tendues et inquiètes qui existent parmi les nations. Ils voient l’intensité qui s’empare de chaque élément terrestre, et ils reconnaissent que quelque chose de grand et de décisif est sur le point de se produire, que le monde est à la veille d’une crise prodigieuse. »
“Angels are now restraining the winds of strife, that they may not blow until the world shall be warned of its coming doom; but a storm is gathering, ready to burst upon the earth; and when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there will be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture.
「現在、天使たちは争いの風を抑えている。来たるべき滅びについて世に警告が与えられるまでは、それが吹き荒れることのないようにするためである。だが、ひとたび地上に吹きつけようとして、今にも炸裂せんとする嵐が集まりつつある。そして、神が御使いたちにその風を解き放つよう命じられるとき、いかなる筆も描き尽くすことのできないほどの争乱の光景が現れるであろう。」
“The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things. Here are revealed the great final scenes in the history of our world, events that already are casting their shadows before, the sound of their approach causing the earth to tremble and men’s hearts to fail them for fear.” Education, 179, 180.
“La Bible, et la Bible seule, donne une juste compréhension de ces choses. C’est là que sont révélées les grandes scènes finales de l’histoire de notre monde, des événements qui déjà projettent devant eux leurs ombres, dont l’approche fait trembler la terre et fait défaillir le cœur des hommes de peur.” Education, 179, 180.
In Luke chapter twenty-one Jesus identified the “signs” that ushered in the Millerite movement, and all those “signs”, according to Sister White, were fulfilled. The Lisbon earthquake, the dark day, the falling of the stars, and the distress of nations, which represented the shaking of the powers of earth that was fulfilled by Islam in the fear produced by the Eastern Question, are all fulfilled. The Millerite “signs” also include the Son of man coming with a cloud which was fulfilled in the correct order that the “signs” were given by Christ, for after the distress of nations ended with the restraint of the Ottoman supremacy in 1840, Christ came to the Most Holy Place on October 22, 1844, and when He came He came with clouds.
تب لاوقا الإصحاح الحادي والعشرين حدَّد يسوع «العلامات» التي دشَّنت الحركة الميلرية، ووفقًا لما ذكرته الأخت وايت، فقد تمَّت جميع تلك «العلامات». فالزلزال الذي وقع في لشبونة، واليوم المظلم، وسقوط النجوم، وكرب الأمم، الذي مثَّل زعزعة قوى الأرض والذي تمَّ على يد الإسلام في الخوف الذي أحدثته المسألة الشرقية، قد تمَّت جميعها. وتشمل «العلامات» الميلرية أيضًا مجيء ابن الإنسان في سحابة، وقد تمَّ ذلك بحسب الترتيب الصحيح الذي أعطى به المسيح «العلامات»، لأنه بعد أن انتهى كرب الأمم بكبح السيادة العثمانية سنة 1840، جاء المسيح إلى قدس الأقداس في 22 أكتوبر 1844، وحين جاء، جاء مع سحب.
“‘And, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away.’ Daniel 7:13, 14. The coming of Christ here described is not His second coming to the earth. He comes to the Ancient of Days in heaven to receive dominion and glory and a kingdom, which will be given Him at the close of His work as a mediator. It is this coming, and not His second advent to the earth, that was foretold in prophecy to take place at the termination of the 2300 days in 1844. Attended by heavenly angels, our great High Priest enters the holy of holies and there appears in the presence of God to engage in the last acts of His ministration in behalf of man—to perform the work of investigative judgment and to make an atonement for all who are shown to be entitled to its benefits.” The Great Controversy, 479.
“‘Et voici, quelqu’un de semblable au Fils de l’homme vint avec les nuées des cieux, et il s’avança vers l’Ancien des jours, et on le fit approcher de Lui. Et il lui fut donné la domination, la gloire et le règne, afin que tous les peuples, nations et langues le servent : sa domination est une domination éternelle, qui ne passera point.’ Daniel 7:13, 14. La venue de Christ décrite ici n’est pas sa seconde venue sur la terre. Il vient vers l’Ancien des jours dans le ciel pour recevoir la domination, la gloire et un royaume, qui lui seront donnés à la clôture de son œuvre de médiateur. C’est cette venue, et non son second avènement sur la terre, qui avait été annoncée dans la prophétie comme devant avoir lieu à l’expiration des 2300 jours en 1844. Accompagné des anges célestes, notre grand Souverain Sacrificateur entre dans le lieu très saint et là paraît en la présence de Dieu pour accomplir les derniers actes de son ministère en faveur de l’homme — accomplir l’œuvre du jugement d’instruction et faire l’expiation pour tous ceux qui seront reconnus avoir droit à ses bienfaits.” The Great Controversy, 479.
The “signs” associated with the history of the Millerites typified the “signs” associated with the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. When Christ provided the second witness to the historical narrative with the parable, He pointed His disciples to “the budding trees of spring.” He informed them that when the trees begin to bud out you know you are near the end of the world, and that the generation that witnesses the budding trees of spring will live to see the heavens and the earth pass away, in the fires of His second coming.

When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. Luke 21:30–33.
Когда они уже распускаются, вы, видя это, сами по себе знаете, что лето уже близко. Так и вы, когда увидите, что это сбывается, знайте, что близко Царствие Божие. Истинно говорю вам: не прейдет род сей, как всё сие исполнится. Небо и земля прейдут, но слова Мои не прейдут. Луки 21:30–33.
The question then becomes, “when did the trees begin to shoot forth?” The latter rain began to sprinkle on September 11, 2001, which according to Isaiah is “the day” of God’s “rough wind in the day of the east wind.”
按此，问题便成为：“树木是什么时候开始发芽的？” 后雨开始洒落于2001年9月11日；照着以赛亚书所言，那就是神“在东风之日所发的暴风的那日”。
In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem. Isaiah 27:8–13.

Yesaia 27:8–13.
The latter rain began to sprinkle (measured) on September 11, 2001, and the debate over the message of the latter rain and the counterfeit peace and safety message began. The history of that debate is where the iniquity of Jacob is removed (purged, meaning atoned for). The history of the debate, which is the debate of Habakkuk, is the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, that concludes with the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist being spewed out of the mouth of the Lord, for it, as “the defenced city,” shall be desolate, for it had become the city of a people of no understanding, who find no mercy or favor. At that time the “second voice” of Revelation eighteen, will blow a great trumpet, which is the seventh trumpet and the third woe, and God’s other flock shall come and worship at “Jerusalem”, which will have become the movement of the church triumphant.

September 11, 2001, identifies that the last generation of earth’s history has arrived, and only those that recognize the budding trees of spring will receive the rain that is causing the trees to bud. Only those that recognize that Islam of the third woe, is what marks the arrival of the latter rain and the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, will be among that group.
11 septembre 2001 identifie que la dernière génération de l’histoire de la terre est arrivée, et seuls ceux qui reconnaissent les arbres bourgeonnants du printemps recevront la pluie qui fait bourgeonner les arbres. Seuls ceux qui reconnaissent que l’islam du troisième malheur est ce qui marque l’arrivée de la pluie de l’arrière-saison et le scellement des cent quarante-quatre mille feront partie de ce groupe.
“Only those who are living up to the light they have will receive greater light. Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.” Testimonies to Ministers, 507.
«Seuls ceux qui vivent selon la lumière qu’ils ont recevront une lumière plus grande. À moins que nous n’avancions chaque jour dans la manifestation des vertus chrétiennes actives, nous ne reconnaîtrons pas les manifestations du Saint-Esprit dans la pluie de l’arrière-saison. Elle peut tomber sur les cœurs tout autour de nous, mais nous ne la discernerons ni ne la recevrons.» Testimonies to Ministers, 507.
“We must not wait for the latter rain. It is coming upon all who will recognize and appropriate the dew and showers of grace that fall upon us. When we gather up the fragments of light, when we appreciate the sure mercies of God, who loves to have us trust Him, then every promise will be fulfilled. ‘For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations’ (Isaiah 61:11). The whole earth is to be filled with the glory of God.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.
“Biz soňky ýagşa garaşmaly däldiris. Ol biziň üstümize inýän merhemetiň çygyna we ýagmurlaryna düşünip, olary kabul edýänleriň hemmesiniň üstüne geler. Biz ýagtylygyň böleklerini ýygnap alanymyzda, Özüne ynanmagymyzy isleýän Hudaýyň ynamdar rehimlerini gadyr bilen kabul edenimizde, onda her bir wada ýerine ýeter. ‘Çünki ýer öz pyntygyny çykaryşy ýaly, bag hem onda ekilen zatlary gögerdişi ýaly, Reb Hudaý hem ähli milletleriň öňünde dogrulygy we öwgüni gögerder’ (Işaýa 61:11). Bütin ýer ýüzi Hudaýyň şöhraty bilen dolmalydyr.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.

“Unless those who can help in——are aroused to a sense of their duty, they will not recognize the work of God when the loud cry of the third angel shall be heard. When light goes forth to lighten the earth, instead of coming up to the help of the Lord, they will want to bind about His work to meet their narrow ideas. Let me tell you that the Lord will work in this last work in a manner very much out of the common order of things, and in a way that will be contrary to any human planning. There will be those among us who will always want to control the work of God, to dictate even what movements shall be made when the work goes forward under the direction of the angel who joins the third angel in the message to be given to the world. God will use ways and means by which it will be seen that He is taking the reins in His own hands. The workers will be surprised by the simple means that He will use to bring about and perfect His work of righteousness.” Testimonies to Ministers, 300.
“Se aqueles que podem ajudar em——não forem despertados para o senso do seu dever, não reconhecerão a obra de Deus quando se ouvir o alto clamor do terceiro anjo. Quando a luz sair para iluminar a Terra, em vez de virem em auxílio do Senhor, quererão restringir a Sua obra para que se conforme às suas ideias estreitas. Digo-vos que o Senhor há de operar nesta última obra de um modo grandemente fora da ordem comum das coisas, e de uma maneira contrária a qualquer planejamento humano. Haverá entre nós os que sempre quererão controlar a obra de Deus, ditando até mesmo que movimentos se deverão fazer quando a obra avançar sob a direção do anjo que se une ao terceiro anjo na mensagem a ser dada ao mundo. Deus usará caminhos e meios pelos quais se verá que Ele está tomando as rédeas em Suas próprias mãos. Os obreiros se surpreenderão com os meios simples que Ele usará para realizar e aperfeiçoar Sua obra de justiça.” Testemunhos para Ministros, 300.
