We are beginning our consideration of Daniel’s last vision by applying the principle represented by Alpha and Omega, that identifies that He always identifies the ending with the beginning. Therefore Belteshazzar, who is Daniel in the very first verse of Daniel’s last vision would also be represented in the last portion of that very same vision. We have identified that Belteshazzar represents God’s covenant people of the last days, who understand the “chazon,” vision of prophetic history, as represented by the word “thing,” in verse one. That vision of prophetic history is the “seven times,” of Leviticus twenty-six that equates to twenty-five hundred and twenty years. Belteshazzar also understands the “vision” in verse one, which is the “mareh” vision of twenty-three hundred years, which represents the sudden appearance of Christ.
Nous commençons notre examen de la dernière vision de Daniel en appliquant le principe représenté par l’Alpha et l’Oméga, lequel établit qu’Il identifie toujours la fin avec le commencement. Par conséquent, Belteshatsar, qui est Daniel dans le tout premier verset de la dernière vision de Daniel, serait aussi représenté dans la dernière partie de cette même vision. Nous avons identifié que Belteshatsar représente le peuple de l’alliance de Dieu des derniers jours, qui comprend le « chazon », vision de l’histoire prophétique, représenté par le mot « chose » au verset un. Cette vision de l’histoire prophétique est les « sept temps » de Lévitique vingt-six, qui équivalent à deux mille cinq cent vingt ans. Belteshatsar comprend aussi la « vision » au verset un, laquelle est la vision « mareh » de deux mille trois cents ans, qui représente l’apparition soudaine du Christ.
In chapter twelve, Daniel represents the movement of the first angel and also the movement of the third angel, for both movements fulfill the parable of the ten virgins. In chapter twelve there are at least five truths that were part of the Millerite movement, that represent truths which the movement of the third angel must also experience and understand. Both movements fulfill the parable of the ten virgins, and the wise virgins of both movements are required to understand that prophetic fact. Both movements must understand the first prophetic truth Miller was led to recognize, as represented by Leviticus twenty-six’s “seven times.” The other three parallel experiences and understandings are found in the last few verses of the chapter.
Sa kabanata dose, kinakatawan ni Daniel ang kilusan ng unang anghel at gayundin ang kilusan ng ikatlong anghel, sapagkat kapuwa tinutupad ng dalawang kilusang ito ang talinghaga ng sampung dalaga. Sa kabanata dose ay may hindi bababa sa limang katotohanan na naging bahagi ng kilusang Millerita, na kumakatawan sa mga katotohanang dapat ding maranasan at maunawaan ng kilusan ng ikatlong anghel. Kapuwa tinutupad ng dalawang kilusang ito ang talinghaga ng sampung dalaga, at ang matatalinong dalaga sa kapuwa kilusan ay kinakailangang maunawaan ang katotohanang yaon na ukol sa hula. Kailangang maunawaan ng kapuwa kilusan ang unang maka-hulang katotohanan na inakay si Miller upang kilalanin, gaya ng kinakatawan ng “pitong panahon” ng Levitico beinte-sais. Ang iba pang tatlong magkakatulad na karanasan at pagkaunawa ay masusumpungan sa mga huling talata ng kabanata.
And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Daniel 12:11–13.
Na tangu wakati ambapo sadaka ya kila siku itaondolewa, na chukizo liletalo ukiwa kusimamishwa, kutakuwa na siku elfu moja mia mbili na tisini. Heri yeye angojeaye, naye afikaye siku elfu moja mia tatu na thelathini na tano. Bali enenda zako hata mwisho utakapowadia; kwa maana utastarehe, nawe utasimama katika sehemu yako mwishoni mwa zile siku. Danieli 12:11–13.
The remnant people of God in the book of Revelation possess three primary prophetic characteristics. They keep God’s commandments, have the faith of Jesus and uphold the Spirit of Prophecy.
Ibisigazwa bisigaye by’Imana mu gitabo cy’Ibyahishuwe bifite ibimenyetso bitatu by’ingenzi by’ubuhanuzi. Byubahiriza amategeko y’Imana, bifite kwizera kwa Yesu kandi bikagumya Umwuka w’Ubuhanuzi.
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:9, 10.
Et il me dit : Écris : Heureux ceux qui sont appelés au festin des noces de l’Agneau. Et il me dit : Ce sont là les véritables paroles de Dieu. Et je tombai à ses pieds pour l’adorer. Mais il me dit : Garde-toi de le faire ! Je suis ton compagnon de service, et celui de tes frères qui ont le témoignage de Jésus : adore Dieu ; car le témoignage de Jésus est l’esprit de la prophétie. Apocalypse 19:9, 10.
The Millerites correctly understood that “the daily,” in the book of Daniel represented paganism, and that the “time that the daily” was “taken away,” was the year 508. To reject that truth is to reject the authority of “the testimony of Jesus,” which “is the Spirit of Prophecy,” for the Spirit of Prophecy clearly identifies that the Millerites were correct in their understanding of “the daily.”
Les millérites ont compris à juste titre que « le perpétuel », dans le livre de Daniel, représentait le paganisme, et que le « temps où le perpétuel » fut « ôté » était l’année 508. Rejeter cette vérité, c’est rejeter l’autorité du « témoignage de Jésus », qui « est l’esprit de prophétie », car l’Esprit de prophétie identifie clairement que les millérites avaient raison dans leur compréhension du « perpétuel ».
“Then I saw in relation to the ‘Daily,’ that the word ‘sacrifice’ was supplied by man’s wisdom, and does not belong to the text; and that the Lord gave the correct view of it to those who gave the judgment hour cry. When union existed, before 1844, nearly all were united on the correct view of the ‘Daily;’ but since 1844, in the confusion, other views have been embraced, and darkness and confusion has followed.” Review and Herald, November 1, 1850.

The Millerites understood that the resistance of paganism against the rise of the papacy to power in 538, was removed in the year 508. The Millerites were correct, but their understanding was limited. God’s last day people, who are represented by Belteshazzar in verse one, will see that from the year 508 to 538 represents a prophetic period that was typified by the thirty years of preparation in the history of Christ that preceded His empowerment at His baptism. They will see that the prophetic period also represents the prophetic period from 1776 unto 1798, and that all three of those periods represent the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand that began on September 11, 2001, and concludes at the soon-coming Sunday law.
मिलेराइटहरूले यो बुझेका थिए कि सन् 538 मा पोपसत्ताको शक्तिमा उदय हुन विरुद्ध उभिएको मूर्तिपूजक शक्तिको प्रतिरोध सन् 508 मा हटाइयो। मिलेराइटहरू सही थिए, तर तिनीहरूको बुझाइ सीमित थियो। परमेश्वरका अन्तिम-दिनका जनहरू, जो पद १ मा बेल्तेशज्जरद्वारा प्रतिनिधित्व गरिएका छन्, तिनीहरूले देख्नेछन् कि सन् 508 देखि 538 सम्मको अवधि एक भविष्यवाणीगत कालावधि हो, जसको प्रतिरूप ख्रीष्टको इतिहासमा उहाँको बप्तिस्मामा सामर्थ्यप्राप्त हुनु अघि भएको तयारीका तीस वर्षहरूले दिएको थियो। तिनीहरूले यो पनि देख्नेछन् कि यस भविष्यवाणीगत कालावधिले सन् 1776 देखि 1798 सम्मको भविष्यवाणीगत अवधिलाई पनि प्रतिनिधित्व गर्दछ, र ती सबै तीन अवधिहरूले सेप्टेम्बर 11, 2001 मा आरम्भ भएको र चाँडै आउन लागेको आइतवारको व्यवस्था-सम्बन्धी कानूनमा समाप्त हुने एक लाख चवालीस हजारको छाप लगाइने समयलाई प्रतिनिधित्व गर्दछन्।
In chapter twelve, Daniel represents the Millerites and the five important truths and experiences that are to be repeated in those represented by Belteshazzar. The third truth and experience of the Millerites is “the correct view of the ‘daily,’ … the Lord gave … to those who gave the judgment hour cry.” To reject that truth is to reject the writings of Ellen White, which is the Spirit of Prophecy. The fourth truth and experience of the Millerites, and the messengers of the third angel, is the prophecy of the thirteen hundred and thirty-five years, which began in the year “the daily,” was taken away, in 508.
In hoofdstuk twaalf vertegenwoordigt Daniël de Millerieten en de vijf belangrijke waarheden en ervaringen die herhaald moeten worden in hen die door Beltesazar worden voorgesteld. De derde waarheid en ervaring van de Millerieten is „de juiste opvatting van het ‘dagelijks,’ … de Heere gaf … aan hen die de roep van het uur van het oordeel verkondigden.” Die waarheid verwerpen, is de geschriften van Ellen White verwerpen, welke de Geest der Profetie zijn. De vierde waarheid en ervaring van de Millerieten, en van de boodschappers van de derde engel, is de profetie van de dertienhonderd vijfendertig jaren, die begon in het jaar waarin „het dagelijks” werd weggenomen, in 508.
Beginning in 508, thirteen hundred and thirty-five years takes you to 1843, but not simply 1843, for the prophecy actually pinpoints the very last day of 1843, for it states, “Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.” The Hebrew word translated as “cometh,” is “naga,” and it means “to touch”, or “lay hands on”. The prophecy therefore means, “blessed is he that waiteth, and” touches or lays hands upon 1843.
Ho qala ka 508, lilemo tse sekete le makholo a mararo a mashome a mararo a metso e mehlano li u isa ho 1843, empa e se feela ho 1843, hobane boporofeta bo supa ka ho toba letsatsi la ho qetela ka ho fetisisa la 1843, hobane bo re, “Ho lehlohonolo ea letileng, ea fihlang matsatsing a sekete le makholo a mararo a mahlano le mashome a mararo.” Lentsoe la Seheberu le fetoletsoeng e le “ea fihlang,” ke “naga,” ’me le bolela “ho ama”, kapa “ho beha matsoho holim’a”. Ka hona boporofeta bo bolela, “ho lehlohonolo ea letileng, ea” amang kapa ea behang matsoho holim’a 1843.
The blessing of waiting in Millerite history was for those wise virgins who experienced the first disappointment, but waited for the vision that tarried. As the Millerites waited for the “vision that tarried” in fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins, and Habakkuk chapter two, they were blessed. In that tarrying time they then saw they were fulfilling the parable, and that at the end the vision would “speak”. Their tarrying time and disappointment was based upon the incorrect identification that the twenty-three hundred years would terminate in 1843, but the vision was really for 1844. Their disappointment was based upon their experience that had been produced when the year 1843, ended with no return of Christ. Their disappointment, and the blessing pronounced upon those who thereafter chose to wait, was all based upon the very last day of the year 1843, which “touches” or “cometh to” 1844.
[Target language “ff” not specified. Please provide the language name so I can translate accurately.]
The experience of the first disappointment, as a fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins, is understood and repeated in those represented by Belteshazzar. The fifth truth and experience that will be recognized by those represented by Belteshazzar is that at “the end of the days”, Daniel would “stand in his lot”.
L’expérience de la première déception, comme accomplissement de la parabole des dix vierges, est comprise et répétée chez ceux qui sont représentés par Belteshazzar. La cinquième vérité et expérience qui sera reconnue par ceux qui sont représentés par Belteshazzar est qu’« à la fin des jours », Daniel « se lèvera pour son héritage ».
“Daniel has been standing in his lot since the seal was removed and the light of truth has been shining upon his visions. He stands in his lot, bearing the testimony which was to be understood at the end of the days.” Sermons and Talks, volume 1, 225, 226.

The Millerites experienced the purification process accomplished by the increase of knowledge that came from the book of Daniel when it was unsealed in 1798. Those represented by Belteshazzar will experience the purification process accomplished by the increase of knowledge that came from the book of Daniel when it was unsealed in 1989. They will also understand that the book of Daniel has a special purpose in the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

As former Laodiceans, those represented by Belteshazzar will recognize that it is through the books of Daniel and Revelation, which are the same book, that the final revival is accomplished.
Mivelatra taloha avy ao Laodikia, ireo izay asehon’i Beltesazara dia hahafantatra fa amin’ny alalan’ny bokin’i Daniela sy ny Apokalypsy, izay boky iray ihany, no anatanterahana ny fifohazana farany.

As former Laodiceans, they will have recognized their Laodicean condition, and recognized that they were spiritually as dead as a valley of dry bones, and in response to the straight testimony concerning their dead and lost condition they will recognize their need to be alive as the first priority.

The end of Daniel’s last vision, as represented in chapter twelve, identifies the experience that produces God’s last day covenant people, as represented by Belteshazzar, in the first verse, of the last vision. There Daniel, represented as Belteshazzar, understands both the internal vision of the twenty-three hundred years and the external vision of the twenty-five hundred and twenty years. He understands the “thing,” and “the vision.” He understands the chazon vision and the mareh vision. He understands the trampling down of the sanctuary and host, and the restoration of the sanctuary and host. He understands both the Ulai and Hiddekel River visions.

“There is need of a much closer study of the word of God; especially should Daniel and the Revelation have attention as never before in the history of our work. We may have less to say in some lines, in regard to the Roman power and the papacy; but we should call attention to what the prophets and apostles have written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit has so shaped matters, both in the giving of the prophecy and in the events portrayed, as to teach that the human agent is to be kept out of sight, hid in Christ, and that the Lord God of heaven and His law are to be exalted. Read the book of Daniel. Call up, point by point, the history of the kingdoms there represented. Behold statesmen, councils, powerful armies, and see how God wrought to abase the pride of men, and lay human glory in the dust….

“The light that Daniel received from God was given especially for these last days. The visions he saw by the banks of the Ulai and the Hiddekel, the great rivers of Shinar, are now in process of fulfillment, and all the events foretold will soon come to pass.
«Ла люмьер кэ Даниэль reçut de Dieu fut donnée tout particulièrement pour ces derniers jours. Les visions qu’il vit sur les rives de l’Ulaï et du Hiddékel, les grands fleuves de Shinar, sont maintenant en voie d’accomplissement, et tous les événements annoncés s’accompliront bientôt. »

“Let us give more time to the study of the Bible. We do not understand the word as we should. The book of Revelation opens with an injunction to us to understand the instruction that it contains. ‘Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy,’ God declares, ‘and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.’ When we as a people understand what this book means to us, there will be seen among us a great revival. We do not understand fully the lessons that it teaches, notwithstanding the injunction given us to search and study it.
«Биёед барои омӯхтани Китоби Муқаддас вақти бештар ҷудо кунем. Мо Каломро ончунон ки бояд бошад, дарк намекунем. Китоби Ваҳй бо амре ба мо оғоз меёбад, то таълимоти дар он мавҷудбударо фаҳмем. Худо эълон мекунад: “Хушо касе ки мехонад, ва онҳое ки суханони ин нубувватро мешунаванд, ва он чиро ки дар он навишта шудааст, риоя мекунанд; зеро вақт наздик аст.” Ҳангоме ки мо, ҳамчун қавм, дарк кунем, ки ин китоб барои мо чӣ маъно дорад, дар миёни мо эҳёи бузурге падид хоҳад омад. Мо дарсҳоеро, ки он меомӯзонад, пурра дарк намекунем, бо вуҷуди амре ки ба мо дода шудааст, то онро тафтиш ва омӯзиш намоем.»
“In the past teachers have declared Daniel and the Revelation to be sealed books, and the people have turned from them. The veil whose apparent mystery has kept many from lifting it, God’s own hand has withdrawn from these portions of His word. The very name ‘Revelation’ contradicts the statement that it is a sealed book. ‘Revelation’ means that something of importance is revealed. The truths of this book are addressed to those living in these last days. We are standing with the veil removed in the holy place of sacred things. We are not to stand without. We are to enter, not with careless, irreverent thoughts, not with impetuous footsteps, but with reverence and godly fear. We are nearing the time when the prophecies of the book of Revelation are to be fulfilled….

“When the books of Daniel and Revelation are better understood, believers will have an entirely different religious experience. They will be given such glimpses of the open gates of heaven that heart and mind will be impressed with the character that all must develop in order to realize the blessedness which is to be the reward of the pure in heart.
«Όταν τα βιβλία του Δανιήλ και της Αποκάλυψης κατανοηθούν καλύτερα, οι πιστοί θα έχουν μια εντελώς διαφορετική θρησκευτική εμπειρία. Θα τους δοθούν τέτοιες ματιές από τις ανοιχτές πύλες του ουρανού, ώστε η καρδιά και ο νους να εντυπωθούν από τον χαρακτήρα που όλοι πρέπει να αναπτύξουν, για να πραγματοποιήσουν τη μακαριότητα η οποία θα είναι η ανταμοιβή των καθαρών στην καρδιά.
“The Lord will bless all who will seek humbly and meekly to understand that which is revealed in the Revelation. This book contains so much that is large with immortality and full of glory that all who read and search it earnestly receive the blessing to those ‘that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein.’
「主は、黙示録において啓示されている事柄を、へりくだって柔和に理解しようと求めるすべての者を祝福してくださる。この書には、不滅のいのちに満ち、栄光にあふれる事柄があまりにも豊かに収められているので、これを熱心に読み、探り求める者は皆、『この預言のことばを聞き、そこに書かれていることを守る者たち』に与えられている祝福を受けるのである。」
“One thing will certainly be understood from the study of Revelation—that the connection between God and His people is close and decided.

“A wonderful connection is seen between the universe of heaven and this world. The things revealed to Daniel were afterward complemented by the revelation made to John on the Isle of Patmos. These two books should be carefully studied. Twice Daniel inquired, How long shall it be to the end of time?
“Si mrekullueshme shihet lidhja ndërmjet gjithësisë së qiellit dhe kësaj bote. Gjërat që iu zbuluan Danielit më pas u plotësuan nga zbulesa që iu dha Gjonit në ishullin Patmos. Këta dy libra duhen studiuar me kujdes. Dy herë Danieli pyeti: Deri kur do të shkojë deri në fundi i kohës?”
“‘And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.’
« J’entendis, mais je ne compris pas; alors je dis : Mon seigneur, quelle sera l’issue de ces choses ? Et il dit : Va, Daniel; car ces paroles seront tenues closes et scellées jusqu’au temps de la fin. Plusieurs seront purifiés, blanchis et éprouvés; mais les méchants agiront méchamment, et aucun des méchants ne comprendra; mais les sages comprendront. Depuis le temps où le sacrifice perpétuel sera ôté, et où l’abomination de la désolation sera dressée, il y aura mille deux cent quatre-vingt-dix jours. Heureux celui qui attendra, et qui parviendra jusqu’à mille trois cent trente-cinq jours. Et toi, va jusqu’à la fin; tu te reposeras, et tu te lèveras pour ton héritage à la fin des jours. »
“It was the Lion of the tribe of Judah who unsealed the book and gave to John the revelation of what should be in these last days.
“Juda qəbiləsinin Aslanı idi ki, kitabın möhürlərini açdı və son günlərdə nə olmalı olduğunu Yəhyaya vəhy etdi.
“Daniel stood in his lot to bear his testimony which was sealed until the time of the end, when the first angel’s message should be proclaimed to our world. These matters are of infinite importance in these last days; but while ‘many shall be purified, and made white, and tried,’ ‘the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand.’ How true this is! Sin is the transgression of the law of God; and those who will not accept the light in regard to the law of God will not understand the proclamation of the first, second, and third angel’s messages. The book of Daniel is unsealed in the revelation to John, and carries us forward to the last scenes of this earth’s history.
“Daniel a stat în partea lui spre a-și aduce mărturia, care a fost pecetluită până la vremea sfârșitului, când solia primului înger urma să fie vestită lumii noastre. Aceste lucruri sunt de o importanță infinită în aceste zile de pe urmă; dar, în timp ce «mulți vor fi curățiți, albiți și încercați», «cei răi vor face răul; și niciunul dintre cei răi nu va înțelege». Cât de adevărat este lucrul acesta! Păcatul este călcarea Legii lui Dumnezeu; iar aceia care nu vor primi lumina cu privire la Legea lui Dumnezeu nu vor înțelege vestirea soliilor primului, celui de-al doilea și celui de-al treilea înger. Cartea lui Daniel este desigilată în descoperirea făcută lui Ioan și ne poartă înainte până la ultimele scene ale istoriei acestui pământ.”
