The “truth which Peter had confessed is the foundation of the believer’s faith. It is that which Christ Himself has declared to be eternal life.” That “truth” identified two aspects of Christ. The first was that Christ is an element of prophetic history. The waymarks that represent the events of prophetic history, represent Christ. His association with the events identifies the sacredness of the prophetic waymarks, and provides the logic for Sister White so often saying that we must guard the waymarks, for those waymarks represent Jesus Christ. The waymark that represented the testing theme in the time of Christ was His baptism, and it aligned with other events in the sacred reform lines, distinguished by the descent of a Divine symbol.

In the reform line of Moses, Divinity descended and abode in a burning bush, a symbol of the creator combining with the creation. In the reform line at the end of the seventy years, Michael descended to empower Cyrus to move forward with the first decree, and at the same time Daniel was changed into the image of Christ. In the reform line of Christ, the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove to anoint God’s Son, the symbol of Divinity combined with humanity. In Millerite history the angel that descended on August 11, 1840 was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ,” who descended with a little book that was to be eaten, and He was that little book. There He demonstrated that the combination of Divinity with humanity is accomplished by eating and drinking the flesh and blood of the Bread of Heaven.
在摩西的改正线中，神性降临并住于燃烧的荆棘中，这是创造主与受造之物结合的象征。在七十年末了的改正线中，米迦勒降临，赋能古列推进第一道谕令；与此同时，但以理也被改变成为基督的形像。在基督的改正线中，圣灵以鸽子的形状降下，膏立上帝的儿子，这是神性与人性结合的象征。在米勒派的历史中，那位于1840年8月11日降下的天使“无异于耶稣基督本人”，祂带着一卷要被吃下的小书降临，而祂自己就是那小书。在那里，祂表明，神性与人性的结合，乃是借着吃喝天上之粮的肉与血而成就的。
Sacred history is sacred because it is embodied by the presence of Christ. The predictions of God’s Word that identify future events, are Jesus Christ, for He is the “Word.” When those predictions are fulfilled in history, the events represent the fulfillment of His word, and His Word is Truth. It is His Word that sets forth the prediction, and it is His Word that is fulfilled when the event arrives, so at the beginning and at the ending it is Jesus Christ, for He is the Alpha and Omega. Therefore, when Peter proclaimed that Jesus was the Christ and the Son of the living God, he was identifying a waymark that was Jesus Christ and a waymark that reaches its perfect fulfillment in the last days. September 11, 2001 was the perfect fulfillment of Christ.
L’histoire sacrée est sacrée parce qu’elle est incarnée par la présence du Christ. Les prédictions de la Parole de Dieu qui identifient les événements futurs, c’est Jésus-Christ, car Il est la « Parole ». Lorsque ces prédictions s’accomplissent dans l’histoire, les événements représentent l’accomplissement de Sa parole, et Sa Parole est Vérité. C’est Sa Parole qui expose la prédiction, et c’est Sa Parole qui s’accomplit lorsque l’événement survient ; ainsi, au commencement comme à la fin, c’est Jésus-Christ, car Il est l’Alpha et l’Oméga. Par conséquent, lorsque Pierre proclama que Jésus était le Christ et le Fils du Dieu vivant, il identifiait un repère qui était Jésus-Christ et un repère qui parvient à son accomplissement parfait dans les derniers jours. Le 11 septembre 2001 fut l’accomplissement parfait du Christ.
To reject the prophetic fulfillment of September 11, 2001, is to reject Christ, the Son of the living God. That truth, expressed by Peter, was “the foundation of the believer’s faith,” and on September 11, 2001 Christ led His last-day people back to Jeremiah’s “old paths,” which represent the “foundations” of the movement of the first and third angels’ messages. Peter represented the one hundred and forty-four thousand, who are sealed during the period when the four angels are restraining the four winds. The sealing time is a specific prophetic period, beginning on September 11, 2001 and ending at the soon coming Sunday law. Jesus always illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing.

At the beginning of the sealing time the angel of Revelation eighteen descended, as had the Holy Spirit at the baptism, and that angel was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ,” for the angel that descended to lighten the earth with His glory in the Millerite history was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” At the soon coming Sunday law “no less a personage than Jesus Christ,” descends again and presents the second of the two messages of Revelation eighteen, as He calls His other flock out of Babylon. In the middle of the period of the sealing time, an angel descended, as the second angel descended on April 19, 1844, at the first disappointment of the Millerite movement.
Mwanzoni mwa wakati wa kutiwa muhuri malaika wa Ufunuo kumi na nane alishuka, kama vile Roho Mtakatifu alivyoshuka wakati wa ubatizo, na malaika huyo alikuwa “si mwingine ila Yesu Kristo mwenyewe,” kwa maana malaika aliyeshuka kuuangazia ulimwengu kwa utukufu Wake katika historia ya Wamillerite alikuwa “si mwingine ila Yesu Kristo mwenyewe.” Katika sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja upesi “si mwingine ila Yesu Kristo mwenyewe,” hushuka tena na kuwasilisha ujumbe wa pili kati ya jumbe mbili za Ufunuo kumi na nane, awaitapo kondoo Wake wengine watoke Babeli. Katikati ya kipindi cha wakati wa kutiwa muhuri, malaika alishuka, kama vile malaika wa pili alivyoshuka tarehe 19 Aprili, 1844, wakati wa kukatishwa tamaa kwa kwanza kwa vuguvugu la Wamillerite.
Between the arrival of that second angel, and the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844, many angels were sent to add power to the second angel as the Midnight Cry message arrived. Speaking of the history when these angels arrived in Millerite history, Sister White informs us that those that rejected these messages had crucified Christ just as assuredly as the Jews crucified Christ.
Mu nguva iri hagati yo kuza kwa marayika wa kabiri no kuza kwa marayika wa gatatu ku wa 22 Ukwakira 1844, hatoranyijwe marayika benshi kugira ngo bongerere imbaraga marayika wa kabiri ubwo ubutumwa bw’Ijwi ryo mu Gicuku bwageraga. Avuga ku mateka y’igihe abo marayika bazaga mu mateka y’Abamileriti, Mushiki wacu White atumenyesha ko abanze ubwo butumwa babambye Kristo ku musaraba rwose nk’uko Abayahudi na bo babambye Kristo.
“I saw that as the Jews crucified Jesus, so the nominal churches had crucified these messages, and therefore they have no knowledge of the way into the most holy, and they cannot be benefited by the intercession of Jesus there.” Early Writings, 261.
« Je vis que, de même que les Juifs avaient crucifié Jésus, ainsi les Églises de nom avaient crucifié ces messages; c’est pourquoi elles n’ont aucune connaissance du chemin qui mène au lieu très saint, et elles ne peuvent bénéficier de l’intercession de Jésus en ce lieu. » Early Writings, 261.
The messages represented by the angels, when rejected, represent the crucifixion of Christ, for He embodies the messages and their historical fulfillment. On July 18, 2020, “no less a personage than Jesus Christ” descended, marking the first disappointment and the beginning of the tarrying time. Slain in the streets, the dead dry bones of His last-day people were to be awakened by hearing the only voice that can bring people back to life.
संदेशों का, जिन्हें स्वर्गदूतों द्वारा निरूपित किया गया है, जब अस्वीकार किया जाता है, तो वे मसीह के क्रूस पर चढ़ाए जाने का प्रतिनिधित्व करते हैं, क्योंकि वही उन संदेशों और उनकी ऐतिहासिक पूर्ति का मूर्त स्वरूप हैं। 18 जुलाई, 2020 को, “स्वयं यीशु मसीह से कम कोई व्यक्तित्व नहीं” उतरे, जिससे प्रथम निराशा और ठहरने के समय का आरम्भ चिन्हित हुआ। सड़कों में वध किए जाने पर, उनके अंतिम-दिवसीय लोगों की मरी हुई सूखी हड्डियों को उस एकमात्र वाणी को सुनकर जागृत किया जाना था जो मनुष्यों को फिर से जीवन में लौटा सकती है।
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. John 5:25–29.
En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, l’heure vient, et elle est déjà venue, où les morts entendront la voix du Fils de Dieu; et ceux qui l’auront entendue vivront. Car, comme le Père a la vie en lui-même, ainsi a-t-il donné au Fils d’avoir la vie en lui-même; et il lui a donné autorité d’exercer aussi le jugement, parce qu’il est le Fils de l’homme. Ne vous en étonnez pas; car l’heure vient où tous ceux qui sont dans les tombeaux entendront sa voix, et en sortiront: ceux qui auront fait le bien, pour une résurrection de vie; mais ceux qui auront fait le mal, pour une résurrection de condamnation. Jean 5:25–29.
In July of 2023, His voice called the dead dry bones to life, and Alpha and Omega then repeated the beginning of the sealing time, for July 2023, marks the ending period of the sealing time. His people were then again called back to Jeremiah’s old paths, to the foundations of Millerite history. The foundational message of the Millerites’ beginning and ending were the first and last messages of Millerite history, which was the “seven times” of Leviticus chapter twenty-six.
Mnamo mwezi wa Julai 2023, sauti Yake iliita mifupa mikavu iliyokufa ipate uhai, na Alfa na Omega kisha akarudia mwanzo wa wakati wa kutiwa muhuri, kwa maana Julai 2023 huashiria kipindi cha mwisho wa wakati wa kutiwa muhuri. Ndipo watu Wake wakaitwa tena warudi kwenye njia za kale za Yeremia, kwenye misingi ya historia ya Wamilleri. Ujumbe wa msingi wa mwanzo na mwisho wa Wamilleri ulikuwa ujumbe wa kwanza na wa mwisho wa historia ya Wamilleri, yaani, “nyakati saba” za sura ya ishirini na sita ya Mambo ya Walawi.
In July 2023, God’s last day people were once again commanded to take the little book and eat it. As they eat the little book, they are then tested to see if they will acknowledge the message of the third Woe in Revelation chapter nine (the tidings of the east) and the message of Daniel chapter eleven (the tidings of the north). The testing process leads them to verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel chapter eleven, which is the Battle of Panium, which is Caesarea Philippi and which is the message of the Midnight Cry where the two classes who have heard His voice are manifested, one class “that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”

There are three voices in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand and they are all the voice of “no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” The first voice of Revelation eighteen sounded when the great buildings of New York city were brought down by a touch from God. The second voice is the voice of Michael the archangel who calls the dead out of their graves. The third voice is the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen that calls His other flock out of Babylon in the hour of the “great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven. The perfect fulfillment of Peter’s confession at Caesarea Philippi is made when Christ leads His last day people to “that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days.”
मुहरबन्दी के समय, एक लाख चवालीस हज़ार के संबंध में, तीन स्वर हैं, और वे सब “यीशु मसीह से कम किसी व्यक्ति के नहीं” ऐसे ही स्वर हैं। प्रकाशितवाक्य अठारह का पहला स्वर तब सुनाई दिया जब न्यूयॉर्क नगर की महान इमारतें परमेश्वर के एक स्पर्श से गिरा दी गईं। दूसरा स्वर प्रधान दूत मीखाएल का स्वर है, जो मरे हुओं को उनकी कब्रों में से पुकारकर बाहर निकालता है। तीसरा स्वर प्रकाशितवाक्य अध्याय अठारह का दूसरा स्वर है, जो “महान भूकम्प” के समय, जिसका उल्लेख प्रकाशितवाक्य अध्याय ग्यारह में है, अपनी अन्य भेड़ों को बाबुल में से बाहर बुलाता है। कैसरिया फिलिप्पी में पतरस के अंगीकार की सिद्ध परिपूर्ति तब होती है जब मसीह अपने अंतिम दिनों की प्रजा को “दानिय्येल की उस भविष्यद्वाणी के भाग” तक ले जाता है “जो अंतिम दिनों से सम्बन्ध रखता है।”
Panium of verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel eleven, is the “portion” of the prophecy of Daniel that was sealed up that identifies the message of the Midnight Cry. Panium is the Exeter camp meeting in August of 1844, it’s a history that is fulfilled in the second term of Donald Trump, and it is the prophetic message that impresses the seal of God upon the foreheads of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The verses we are now studying are very holy ground.
Panium des versets treize à quinze de Daniel onze est la « portion » de la prophétie de Daniel qui fut scellée et qui identifie le message du Cri de Minuit. Panium est la réunion de camp d’Exeter en août 1844 ; c’est une histoire qui s’accomplit durant le second mandat de Donald Trump, et c’est le message prophétique qui imprime le sceau de Dieu sur les fronts des cent quarante-quatre mille. Les versets que nous étudions maintenant sont une terre très sainte.
“The truth which Peter had confessed is the foundation of the believer’s faith. It is that which Christ Himself has declared to be eternal life. But the possession of this knowledge was no ground for self-glorification. Through no wisdom or goodness of his own had it been revealed to Peter. Never can humanity, of itself, attain to a knowledge of the divine. ‘It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?’ Job 11:8. Only the spirit of adoption can reveal to us the deep things of God, which ‘eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man.’ ‘God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.’ 1 Corinthians 2:9, 10. ‘The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him;’ and the fact that Peter discerned the glory of Christ was an evidence that he had been ‘taught of God.’ Psalm 25:14; John 6:45. Ah, indeed, ‘blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee.’
“सत्य जो पतरस ने अंगीकार किया था, वही विश्वासी के विश्वास की नींव है। वही है जिसे मसीह ने स्वयं अनन्त जीवन ठहराया है। परन्तु इस ज्ञान का अधिकारी होना आत्म-महिमा का कोई आधार न था। यह पतरस पर उसकी अपनी किसी बुद्धि या भलाई के कारण प्रकट नहीं किया गया था। मनुष्यजाति अपने आप से कभी भी ईश्वरीय ज्ञान तक नहीं पहुँच सकती। ‘वह आकाश से ऊँचा है; तू क्या कर सकता है? अधोलोक से भी गहरा है; तू क्या जान सकता है?’ अय्यूब 11:8। केवल दत्तकत्व का आत्मा ही हमें परमेश्वर की गूढ़ बातों को प्रकट कर सकता है, जिन्हें ‘न आँख ने देखा, न कान ने सुना, और न वे मनुष्य के मन में प्रवेश कीं।’ ‘परमेश्वर ने उन्हें अपने आत्मा के द्वारा हम पर प्रगट किया है; क्योंकि आत्मा सब बातें, वरन् परमेश्वर की गूढ़ बातें भी जाँचता है।’ 1 कुरिन्थियों 2:9, 10। ‘यहोवा की गुप्त बात उसका भय माननेवालों के लिये है;’ और यह तथ्य कि पतरस ने मसीह की महिमा को पहचाना, इस बात का प्रमाण था कि वह ‘परमेश्वर की शिक्षा पाया हुआ’ था। भजन संहिता 25:14; यूहन्ना 6:45। आह, सचमुच, ‘धन्य है तू, शमौन बार-योना; क्योंकि यह तुझ पर मांस और लोहू ने प्रकट नहीं किया।’”
“Jesus continued: ‘I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.’ The word Peter signifies a stone,—a rolling stone. Peter was not the rock upon which the church was founded. The gates of hell did prevail against him when he denied his Lord with cursing and swearing. The church was built upon One against whom the gates of hell could not prevail.” The Desire of Ages, 413
“Jeesus jatkoi: ‘Ja minä sanon sinulle myös: sinä olet Pietari, ja tälle kalliolle minä rakennan seurakuntani, eivätkä tuonelan portit voita sitä.’ Nimi Pietari merkitsee kiveä — vierivää kiveä. Pietari ei ollut se kallio, jolle seurakunta perustettiin. Tuonelan portit voittivat hänet, kun hän kielsi Herransa kirouksin ja valoin. Seurakunta rakennettiin Sen varaan, jota vastaan tuonelan portit eivät voineet mitään.” Aikakausien Toivo, 413
The message Christ was presenting to His disciples at Caesarea Philippi was and is the message of the Midnight Cry, and it is placed within the context of a spiritual war between the Greek god Pan, whose temple was called “the gates of hell,” and the two apostate horns of the earth beast. The Maccabees were God’s apostate people, who professed to be the defenders of God’s church, as they were warring against the religion of the Greeks. They identified themselves as both the religious and political leaders. They represent the apostate Protestantism of those fallen churches that, with the government of the United States, are now forming an image of the beast and are warring against the globalist’s religion of woke-ism and Mother Earth. The apostate horns prevail in their struggle with the religious and political elements of globalism, and at the same time the true Protestant horn is being purified by the removal of the last remnants of the foolish virgins, in advance of being lifted up as an ensign at the “great earthquake” of the soon coming Sunday law.

The portion of the prophecy of the book of Daniel that relates to the last days, which is also the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and is the message of the Midnight Cry, is unsealed by the Lion of the tribe of Judah at Caesarea Philippi, which is Panium. It is unsealed in the midst of the warfare between atheistic beast from the bottomless pit and the horn of Republicanism that began to stir up that beast in 2015, and against the genuine horn of Protestantism that is now being resurrected as a mighty army.
मुद्दत के आख़िरी दिनों से सम्बन्धित दानिय्येल की पुस्तक की भविष्यद्वाणी का वह भाग, जो यीशु मसीह का प्रकाशितवाक्य भी है और मध्यरात्रि की पुकार का सन्देश है, यहूदा के गोत्र के सिंह के द्वारा कैसरिया फ़िलिप्पी में, अर्थात् पानियम में, खोला जाता है। यह उस युद्ध के बीच खोला जाता है जो अथाह कुण्ड में से निकलने वाले नास्तिक पशु और रिपब्लिकनवाद के उस सींग के बीच चल रहा है, जिसने 2015 में उस पशु को भड़काना आरम्भ किया, और प्रोटेस्टेंटवाद के उस वास्तविक सींग के विरुद्ध भी, जो अब एक प्रबल सेना के रूप में पुनर्जीवित किया जा रहा है।
The truth that Peter confessed represents the waymark of September 11, 2001, and also that Christ is the Son of the living God. The truth of what is represented by Jesus being the Son of God, is a testing truth as certainly as was whether Jesus was the Messiah or not in the days of Peter. The proclamation that Jesus is the Son of God represents everything that had been revealed of who the Son is. It represents not only that He was God’s Son, but that He was also the son of man. It is the truth of the incarnation of divinity into humanity, which is the very work that is accomplished during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The truth of the “incarnation,” is the truth at the end that was typified by the truth of the “Sabbath” at the beginning.
সত্যটি, যা পিতর স্বীকার করেছিলেন, তা ১১ সেপ্টেম্বর, ২০০১-এর পথচিহ্নকে প্রতিনিধিত্ব করে; এবং এও যে খ্রিষ্ট জীবন্ত ঈশ্বরের পুত্র। যিশু ঈশ্বরের পুত্র—এই দ্বারা যা প্রতিনিধিত্ব করা হয়েছে, সেই সত্য একটি পরীক্ষাস্বরূপ সত্য, যেমন পিতরের দিনের মধ্যে যিশু মসীহ ছিলেন কি না—এই প্রশ্নটি নিশ্চিতরূপে একটি পরীক্ষাস্বরূপ সত্য ছিল। যিশু ঈশ্বরের পুত্র—এই ঘোষণাটি পুত্র কে, সে বিষয়ে যা কিছু প্রকাশিত হয়েছিল, তার সমগ্রতাকেই প্রতিনিধিত্ব করে। এটি কেবল এইটুকুই নির্দেশ করে না যে তিনি ঈশ্বরের পুত্র ছিলেন, বরং এও যে তিনি মনুষ্যপুত্রও ছিলেন। এটি ঈশ্বরত্বের মানবত্বে অবতারগ্রহণের সত্য—আর এই কার্যই সেই কার্য, যা এক লক্ষ চুয়াল্লিশ হাজারের সীলমোহরের সময়ে সম্পন্ন হয়। “অবতারগ্রহণ”-এর সত্যটি সেই অন্তিমকালের সত্য, যা আদিতে “বিশ্রামবার”-এর সত্য দ্বারা প্রতিরূপিত হয়েছিল।
October 22, 1844 marked the arrival of the third angel. When an angel arrives, a special truth adapted to the period where the truth is unsealed is opened by the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and that truth then tests the generation where that truth is opened up. On October 22, 1844 the truths associated with the work of Christ, who suddenly came unto the temple He had raised in the forty-six years from 1798 unto 1844, were revealed. Christ’s work of judgment, the law of God, His role as High Priest, the issue of the mark of the beast and the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand were all opened up. Sister White was shown that of those truths, there was one truth which the Alpha and Omega identified in a special light.
22 Oktober 1844 menandai kedatangan malaikat ketiga. Apabila seorang malaikat datang, suatu kebenaran khusus yang disesuaikan dengan masa ketika kebenaran itu dimeteraibukakan dibukakan oleh Singa dari suku Yehuda, dan kebenaran itu kemudian menguji generasi di mana kebenaran tersebut dinyatakan. Pada 22 Oktober 1844, kebenaran-kebenaran yang berkaitan dengan pekerjaan Kristus, yang dengan tiba-tiba datang ke bait suci yang telah Ia bangun selama empat puluh enam tahun, dari 1798 hingga 1844, dinyatakan. Pekerjaan penghakiman Kristus, hukum Allah, peranan-Nya sebagai Imam Besar, persoalan tanda binatang itu, dan pemeteraian atas seratus empat puluh empat ribu semuanya dibukakan. Saudari White diperlihatkan bahwa dari antara kebenaran-kebenaran itu, ada satu kebenaran yang oleh Alfa dan Omega ditandai dalam suatu terang yang istimewa.
“I was amazed as I saw the fourth commandment in the very center of the ten precepts, with a soft halo of light encircling it. Said the angel: ‘It is the only one of the ten which defines the living God who created the heavens and the earth and all things that are therein. When the foundations of the earth were laid, then was laid the foundation of the Sabbath also.’” Testimonies, volume 1, 75.
„Bámultam úžasem, když jsem spatřila čtvrté přikázání přímo uprostřed deseti přikázání, obklopené jemnou září světla. Anděl řekl: ‚Je to jediné z deseti, které označuje živého Boha, jenž stvořil nebesa i zemi a všechno, co je v nich. Když byly kladeny základy země, tehdy byl položen i základ soboty.‘“ Testimonies, svazek 1, 75.
The sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand had arrived, but it was to be delayed by the rebellion of 1863. On September 11, 2001 the sealing process began when Christ, represented as the mighty angel of Revelation chapter eighteen, descended with a hidden book in His hand that God’s last day people were to eat. The Alpha and Omega always illustrates the end with the beginning, so in the last days there was another truth that was placed in a special light, and it was directly connected to the Sabbath truth that was highlighted the first time Christ attempted to seal the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
Lé temps d’ scellement des cent quarante-quatre mille était arrivé, mais il devait être retardé par la rébellion de 1863. Le 11 septembre 2001, le processus de scellement commença lorsque Christ, représenté comme l’ange puissant d’Apocalypse chapitre dix-huit, descendit avec en Sa main un livre caché que le peuple de Dieu des derniers jours devait manger. L’Alpha et l’Oméga illustre toujours la fin par le commencement; ainsi, dans les derniers jours, il y eut une autre vérité qui fut mise dans une lumière particulière, et elle était directement liée à la vérité du sabbat qui avait été mise en relief la première fois que Christ tenta de sceller les cent quarante-quatre mille.
“The time has come for Daniel to stand in his lot. The time has come for the light given him to go to the world as never before. If those for whom the Lord has done so much will walk in the light, their knowledge of Christ and the prophecies relating to Him will be greatly increased as they near the close of this earth’s history.
“Tempus venit ut Daniel stet in sorte sua. Tempus venit ut lux ei data ad mundum procedat sicut numquam antea. Si ii pro quibus Dominus tam multa fecit in luce ambulaverint, cognitio eorum de Christo et de prophetiis ad Ipsum pertinentibus valde augebitur, dum ad finem historiae huius terrae appropinquant.
“Those who commune with God walk in the light of the Sun of Righteousness. They do not dishonor their Redeemer by corrupting their way before God. Heavenly light shines upon them. They are of infinite worth in God’s sight, for they are one with Christ. To them the word of God is of surpassing beauty and loveliness. They see its importance. Truth is unfolded to them. The doctrine of the incarnation is invested with a soft radiance. They see that the Scripture is the key which unlocks all mysteries and solves all difficulties. Those who have been unwilling to receive the light and walk in the light will not be able to understand the mystery of godliness, but those who have not hesitated to take up the cross and follow Jesus will see light in God’s light.” Manuscript Releases, number 21, 406, 407.
“Cei care au părtășie cu Dumnezeu umblă în lumina Soarelui Neprihănirii. Ei nu-L necinstesc pe Răscumpărătorul lor prin stricarea căii lor înaintea lui Dumnezeu. Lumina cerească strălucește asupra lor. Ei sunt de o valoare infinită în ochii lui Dumnezeu, căci sunt una cu Hristos. Pentru ei, Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu este de o frumusețe și o grație neîntrecute. Ei îi văd însemnătatea. Adevărul le este descoperit. Doctrina întrupării este învăluită într-o blândă strălucire. Ei văd că Scriptura este cheia care descuie toate tainele și dezleagă toate dificultățile. Cei care n-au fost dispuși să primească lumina și să umble în lumină nu vor putea înțelege taina evlaviei, dar cei care n-au șovăit să-și ia crucea și să-L urmeze pe Isus vor vedea lumină în lumina lui Dumnezeu.” Manuscript Releases, nr. 21, 406, 407.
The doctrine of the incarnation is the truth that Divinity combined with humanity does not sin, and the sign of those who have reached that experience in the last days is the Sabbath.
L’enseignement de l’incarnation est cette vérité que la Divinité unie à l’humanité ne pèche pas, et le signe de ceux qui, dans les derniers jours, sont parvenus à cette expérience, c’est le sabbat.
Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord that sanctify them. Ezekiel 20:12.
De plus, je leur donnai aussi mes sabbats, pour être un signe entre moi et eux, afin qu’ils sachent que je suis l’Éternel qui les sanctifie. Ézéchiel 20:12.
The one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed for eternity, and the process of the sealing identifies a short period of time at the end of the sealing process, just before the Sunday law, when the seal is impressed. In that short period of time Divinity is combined with humanity, permanently.
Ndị otu narị puku iri anọ na anọ ka a na-akara akara maka ebighị ebi, ma usoro nke ịkara akara ahụ na-egosi obere oge dị n’isi njedebe nke usoro ịkara akara ahụ, ozugbo tupu iwu ụbọchị Sọnde, mgbe a na-etinye akara ahụ. N’oge dị mkpirikpi ahụ, a na-ejikọta Chi na mmadụ ọnụ, ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
“What are you doing, brethren, in the great work of preparation? Those who are uniting with the world are receiving the worldly mold and preparing for the mark of the beast. Those who are distrustful of self, who are humbling themselves before God and purifying their souls by obeying the truth these are receiving the heavenly mold and preparing for the seal of God in their foreheads. When the decree goes forth and the stamp is impressed, their character will remain pure and spotless for eternity.
“Unatendeni nini, ndugu, katika kazi kuu ya matayarisho? Wale wanaojiunga na ulimwengu wanapokea chapa ya ulimwengu na kujiandaa kwa alama ya mnyama. Wale wasiojiamini nafsi zao, wanaojinyenyekeza mbele za Mungu na kuzitakasa nafsi zao kwa kuitii kweli, hao wanapokea chapa ya mbinguni na kujiandaa kwa muhuri wa Mungu katika vipaji vya nyuso zao. Wakati amri itakapotoka na chapa kuwekwa, tabia yao itabaki safi na bila waa milele.
“Now is the time to prepare. The seal of God will never be placed upon the forehead of an impure man or woman. It will never be placed upon the forehead of the ambitious, world-loving man or woman. It will never be placed upon the forehead of men or women of false tongues or deceitful hearts. All who receive the seal must be without spot before God—candidates for heaven. Go forward, my brethren and sisters. I can only write briefly upon these points at this time, merely calling your attention to the necessity of preparation. Search the Scriptures for yourselves, that you may understand the fearful solemnity of the present hour.” Testimonies, volume 5, 216.
«الآن هو وقتُ الاستعداد. إن ختمَ الله لن يُوضَع قط على جبين رجلٍ أو امرأةٍ نجسين. ولن يُوضَع قط على جبين الرجل أو المرأة الطموحين المحبَّين للعالم. ولن يُوضَع قط على جبين رجالٍ أو نساءٍ ذوي ألسنةٍ كاذبة أو قلوبٍ ماكرة. جميع الذين ينالون الختم يجب أن يكونوا بلا دنسٍ أمام الله—مرشَّحين للسماء. امضوا قُدُمًا، يا إخوتي وأخواتي. لا أستطيع في هذا الوقت إلا أن أكتب بإيجازٍ عن هذه النقاط، مكتفيًا بمجرد لفت انتباهكم إلى ضرورة الاستعداد. فتِّشوا الكتبَ المقدسة بأنفسكم، لكي تدركوا الرهبة الجليلة للساعة الحاضرة». الشهادات، المجلد 5، 216.
The previous passage might suggest that the seal is impressed at the Sunday law, but this is not the case. Sister White is clear that the Sunday law is a great crisis, and she also teaches clearly that character is manifested in a crisis, but never developed in a crisis. The seal is impressed at the Sunday law in the sense that it then becomes visible, for those who then have the seal are lifted up as an ensign. The seal is impressed in a short period of time, just before probation closes, and for Sabbath-keepers, probation closes at the Sunday law. The sealing began on September 11, 2001, and no one then received the seal of God, for as illustrated in the period of time following October 22, 1844, there was first to be a testing process.
该段前文或许会使人以为印记是在星期日法令颁布时盖上的，但事实并非如此。怀爱伦姊妹明确指出，星期日法令乃是一场重大的危机；她也同样清楚地教导说，品格是在危机中显明出来的，却绝不是在危机中形成出来的。所谓印记是在星期日法令之时盖上，乃是指那时印记变得可见，因为凡在那时已有这印记的人，都要被高举起来，作为旌旗。印记是在恩典时期结束之前不久的一段短暂时期内盖上的；对于守安息日的人而言，他们的恩典时期在星期日法令之时结束。盖印的工作始于2001年9月11日，而当时并没有人领受上帝的印记；因为正如1844年10月22日之后那段时期所表明的那样，首先必须有一个试验的过程。
In every reform movement, when the divine symbol descends to empower the message that was unsealed at the time of the end, a testing process begins. When Michael descended to empower Cyrus to move forward with the first decree, the Jews were then tested as to whether they would leave the home they had lived in for the previous seventy years and return to a ruined city and rebuild it. When the Holy Spirit descended at the baptism of Christ, the Jews were tested on the subject of the Messiah. When the mighty angel of Revelation ten descended on August 11, 1840, that generation was tested on whether they would eat the little book, and all that the little book represented.
در هر جنبش اصلاحی، هنگامی که نماد الهی فرود میآید تا پیامی را که در زمان آخر گشوده شده بود توان بخشد، فرایندی از آزمون آغاز میشود. هنگامی که میکائیل فرود آمد تا کورش را برای پیش رفتن با فرمان نخست تقویت کند، یهودیان آنگاه آزموده شدند که آیا خانهای را که در هفتاد سال گذشته در آن زیسته بودند ترک خواهند کرد و به شهری ویران بازخواهند گشت و آن را از نو بنا خواهند نمود. هنگامی که روحالقدس در تعمید مسیح فرود آمد، یهودیان در موضوع مسیحا آزموده شدند. هنگامی که فرشتهٔ نیرومندِ مکاشفه ده در 11 اوت 1840 فرود آمد، آن نسل آزموده شد که آیا کتاب کوچک را خواهند خورد، و هر آنچه را که کتاب کوچک نمایندگی میکرد.
A testing process began on August 11, 1840 that produced two classes of worshippers, and the class that followed the Lamb into the Most Holy Place were candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The final test for that generation, who failed the testing process, began with the arrival of increased light upon the “seven times,” of Leviticus twenty-six. From 1856 unto 1863, the Laodicean message marked a final period of time in the period that began with the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844. That period of time is represented by verses thirteen through fifteen of Daniel chapter eleven.
Ein Prüfungsprozess begann am 11. August 1840 und brachte zwei Klassen von Anbetern hervor; und die Klasse, die dem Lamm in das Allerheiligste folgte, waren Anwärter darauf, unter den Hundertvierundvierzigtausend zu sein. Die abschließende Prüfung für jene Generation, die den Prüfungsprozess nicht bestand, begann mit dem Eintreffen vermehrten Lichts über die „sieben Zeiten“ aus Levitikus sechsundzwanzig. Von 1856 bis 1863 kennzeichnete die laodizeische Botschaft einen letzten Zeitabschnitt innerhalb des Zeitraums, der mit dem Kommen des dritten Engels am 22. Oktober 1844 begonnen hatte. Jener Zeitraum wird durch die Verse dreizehn bis fünfzehn des elften Kapitels Daniels dargestellt.
We will continue this study in the next article.

“‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.’ ‘And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth’ (John 1:1–5, 14).
«Au commencement était la Parole, et la Parole était avec Dieu, et la Parole était Dieu. Elle était au commencement avec Dieu. Toutes choses ont été faites par elle, et rien de ce qui a été fait n’a été fait sans elle. En elle était la vie, et la vie était la lumière des hommes. Et la lumière luit dans les ténèbres, et les ténèbres ne l’ont point comprise.» «Et la Parole a été faite chair, et elle a habité parmi nous, (et nous avons contemplé sa gloire, une gloire comme celle du Fils unique venu du Père,) pleine de grâce et de vérité» (Jean 1:1–5, 14).
“This chapter delineates the character and importance of the work of Christ. As one who understands his subject, John ascribes all power to Christ, and speaks of His greatness and majesty. He flashes forth divine rays of precious truth, as light from the sun. He presents Christ as the only Mediator between God and humanity.
« Ce chapitre expose le caractère et l’importance de l’œuvre du Christ. Comme quelqu’un qui comprend son sujet, Jean attribue toute puissance au Christ et parle de sa grandeur et de sa majesté. Il fait jaillir de divins rayons de précieuse vérité, comme la lumière émane du soleil. Il présente le Christ comme le seul Médiateur entre Dieu et l’humanité. »
“The doctrine of the incarnation of Christ in human flesh is a mystery, ‘even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations’ (Colossians 1:26). It is the great and profound mystery of godliness. ‘The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us’ (John 1:14). Christ took upon Himself human nature, a nature inferior to His heavenly nature. Nothing so shows the wonderful condescension of God as this. He ‘so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son’ (John 3:16). John presents this wonderful subject with such simplicity that all may grasp the ideas set forth, and be enlightened.

“Christ did not make believe take human nature; He did verily take it. He did in reality possess human nature. ‘As the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same’ (Hebrews 2:14). He was the son of Mary; He was of the seed of David according to human descent. He is declared to be a man, even the Man Christ Jesus. ‘This man,’ writes Paul, ‘was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house’ (Hebrews 3:3).
«Քրիստոսը ձևացնելով չընդունեց մարդկային բնությունը. Նա իսկապես ընդունեց այն։ Նա իրապես ուներ մարդկային բնություն։ «Քանի որ որդիները մարմնի և արյան մասնակից են, Նա ևս նույնպես մասնակից եղավ նույնին» (Եբրայեցիս 2:14)։ Նա Մարիամի Որդին էր. մարդկային ծագմամբ Նա Դավթի սերնդից էր։ Նա հռչակվում է մարդ, այն էլ՝ Մարդ Քրիստոս Հիսուս։ «Այս մարդը,— գրում է Պողոսը,— Մովսեսից ավելի փառքի արժանի համարվեց, որովհետև տունը շինողը ավելի պատիվ ունի, քան տունը» (Եբրայեցիս 3:3)։»
“But while God’s Word speaks of the humanity of Christ when upon this earth, it also speaks decidedly regarding His pre-existence. The Word existed as a divine being, even as the eternal Son of God, in union and oneness with His Father. From everlasting He was the Mediator of the covenant, the one in whom all nations of the earth, both Jews and Gentiles, if they accepted Him, were to be blessed. ‘The Word was with God, and the Word was God’ (John 1:1). Before men or angels were created, the Word was with God, and was God.
“Lekin ingawa Neno la Mungu linasema kuhusu ubinadamu wa Kristo alipokuwa hapa duniani, pia linasema kwa uthabiti kuhusu kuwepo kwake tangu kabla. Neno alikuwapo kama nafsi ya Kiungu, yaani kama Mwana wa Mungu wa milele, katika umoja na uhalisi mmoja na Baba yake. Tangu milele alikuwa Mpatanishi wa agano, yeye ambaye ndani yake mataifa yote ya dunia, Wayahudi na Mataifa pia, kama wangemkubali, yangepata kubarikiwa. ‘Hapo mwanzo kulikuwako Neno, naye Neno alikuwako kwa Mungu, naye Neno alikuwa Mungu’ (John 1:1). Kabla wanadamu au malaika hawajaumbwa, Neno alikuwako kwa Mungu, naye alikuwa Mungu.”
“The world was made by Him, ‘and without him was not anything made that was made’ (John 1:3). If Christ made all things, He existed before all things. The words spoken in regard to this are so decisive that no one need be left in doubt. Christ was God essentially, and in the highest sense. He was with God from all eternity, God over all, blessed forevermore.
‘Dunia dibuat oleh-Nya, “dan tanpa Dia tidak ada sesuatu pun yang telah jadi dari segala yang telah dijadikan” (Yohanes 1:3). Jika Kristus menjadikan segala sesuatu, maka Ia telah ada sebelum segala sesuatu. Perkataan yang diucapkan mengenai hal ini begitu tegas sehingga tidak seorang pun perlu dibiarkan dalam keraguan. Kristus pada hakikat-Nya adalah Allah, dan dalam arti yang setinggi-tingginya. Ia bersama-sama dengan Allah sejak kekekalan, Allah atas semuanya, terpuji selama-lamanya.
“The Lord Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, existed from eternity, a distinct person, yet one with the Father. He was the surpassing glory of heaven. He was the commander of the heavenly intelligences, and the adoring homage of the angels was received by Him as His right. This was no robbery of God. ‘The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way,’ He declares, ‘before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth’ (Proverbs 8:22–27).
“প্রভু যীশু খ্রীষ্ট, ঈশ্বরের ঐশ্বরিক পুত্র, অনন্তকাল হতেই অস্তিত্বশীল ছিলেন—এক স্বতন্ত্র ব্যক্তি, তথাপি পিতার সঙ্গে এক। তিনিই ছিলেন স্বর্গের অতুলনীয় মহিমা। তিনি ছিলেন স্বর্গীয় বুদ্ধিমত্তাসম্পন্ন সত্তাগণের অধিনায়ক, এবং স্বর্গদূতদের উপাসনাময় প্রণতি তাঁর ন্যায্য অধিকারেরূপে তিনি গ্রহণ করতেন। এতে ঈশ্বরের কোনো অধিকার হরণ করা হয়নি। তিনি ঘোষণা করেন, ‘প্রভু আমাকে আপন পথের আরম্ভে অধিকার করেছিলেন,’ ‘তাঁহার প্রাচীনকালের কর্মসমূহের পূর্বে। আমি অনাদিকাল হইতে স্থাপিত, আদিকাল হইতে, পৃথিবী সৃষ্টিরও পূর্বে। যখন অতলসমূহ ছিল না, তখন আমি উৎপন্ন হইয়াছিলাম; যখন জলপূর্ণ উচ্ছ্বসিত প্রস্রবণসমূহ ছিল না। পর্বতমালা স্থাপিত হইবার পূর্বে, পর্বতশ্রেণীসমূহেরও পূর্বে আমি উৎপন্ন হইয়াছিলাম; তখনও তিনি পৃথিবী, ক্ষেত্রসমূহ, কিংবা বিশ্বের ধূলির শ্রেষ্ঠ অংশ সৃষ্টি করেন নাই। তিনি যখন আকাশমণ্ডল প্রস্তুত করিতেছিলেন, আমি সেখানে ছিলাম; যখন তিনি গভীরের পৃষ্ঠে বৃত্তরেখা অঙ্কন করিলেন’ (হিতোপদেশ 8:22–27)।”
“There are light and glory in the truth that Christ was one with the Father before the foundation of the world was laid. This is the light shining in a dark place, making it resplendent with divine, original glory. This truth, infinitely mysterious in itself, explains other mysterious and otherwise unexplainable truths, while it is enshrined in light, unapproachable and incomprehensible.” Selected Messages, book 1, 246–248.
“Na katika ukweli kwamba Kristo alikuwa mmoja na Baba kabla ya kuwekwa misingi ya ulimwengu, mna nuru na utukufu. Hii ndiyo nuru ing’aayo mahali penye giza, ikipafanya kung’aa kwa utukufu wa kimungu wa asili. Ukweli huu, ambao ndani yake wenyewe ni fumbo lisilo na kikomo, hufafanua kweli nyingine za fumbo ambazo vinginevyo haziwezi kuelezwa, huku wenyewe umehifadhiwa ndani ya nuru isiyoweza kukaribiwa wala kueleweka.” Selected Messages, book 1, 246–248.
