When Jesus unseals a prophetic truth, He is represented as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and at Caesarea Philippi, the Lion of the tribe of Judah began to unseal “that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.” Those truths align with the message that He unsealed at the beginning of the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and then again at the end of the very same period. Those truths align with the message represented in verses thirteen through fifteen of Daniel chapter eleven.
Når Jesus åbner en profetisk sandhed, fremstilles Han som Løven af Judas stamme, og ved Cæsarea Filippi begyndte Løven af Judas stamme at åbne, “at han måtte gå op til Jerusalem og lide meget af de ældste og ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge og blive slået ihjel og oprejses på den tredje dag.” Disse sandheder stemmer overens med det budskab, som Han åbnede ved begyndelsen af beseglingstiden for de hundrede og fireogfyrre tusinde, og dernæst igen ved afslutningen af netop den samme periode. Disse sandheder stemmer overens med det budskab, der fremstilles i vers tretten til femten i Daniel kapitel elleve.
When He unseals that truth to the one hundred and forty-four thousand, He does so through the methodology of line upon line, for it is there that the “keys” to the kingdom of God are found. Those truths must be eaten for they are the keys to the kingdom of God, and the kingdom of God is to be within His people.
Lorsqu’Il descelle cette vérité aux cent quarante-quatre mille, Il le fait selon la méthode de ligne sur ligne, car c’est là que se trouvent les « clés » du royaume de Dieu. Ces vérités doivent être mangées, car elles sont les clés du royaume de Dieu, et le royaume de Dieu doit être au-dedans de Son peuple.
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Luke 17:20, 21.
At nang tanungin siya ng mga Fariseo kung kailan darating ang kaharian ng Dios, sumagot siya sa kanila at nagsabi, Ang kaharian ng Dios ay hindi dumarating na mapagmamasdan: Ni hindi nila sasabihin, Narito! o, naroon! sapagka’t, narito, ang kaharian ng Dios ay nasa loob ninyo. Lucas 17:20, 21.
The devils believe, and yet tremble, for it is not enough to simply believe the “truth.” It must become part of you as is the physical food that is eaten. In the history of verses thirteen to fifteen the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals the truths connected with the soon coming Sunday law, and those truths impress the seal upon the foreheads of the wise virgins, in advance of the coming crisis. The Lion of the tribe of Judah knew full well the testimony of Matthew chapter sixteen, and His visit to Caesarea Philippi aligned with Daniel’s testimony of Panium, and He knew the shadow of the cross which He and His disciple stood under in Caesarea Philippi, represented the shadow of the coming Sunday law in the history of His last-day people.
Li dimon krwar, e zot tranble ankor, parski i pa ase zis krwar “laverite” senpleman. I bezwen vin en parti de ou menm, parey manze fizik ki ganny manze. Dan listwar verset trèz ziska kenz, Lyon tribi Zida i retir sele lo laverite ki annan pour fer avek lalwa Dimans ki pe vini byento, e sa bann laverite i anprent sele lo front bann vyerz saz, avan kriz ki pe vini. Lyon tribi Zida ti konnen tre byen temwayaz Matye sapit sèz, e Son vizit Sesare Filip ti an armoni avek temwayaz Danyel lo Panyom, e I ti konnen ki lonbraz lakrwa anba ki Li ek Son disip ti pe debout Sesare Filip, ti reprezant lonbraz lalwa Dimans ki pe vini dan listwar Son pep bann dernyen zour.
From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Matthew 16:21–28.
Van die tyd af het Jesus sy dissipels begin aantoon dat Hy na Jerusalem moes gaan en baie moes ly van die ouderlinge en die owerpriesters en die skrifgeleerdes, en gedood word, en op die derde dag opgewek word. Toe neem Petrus Hom opsy en begin Hom bestraf en sê: Mag God dit verhoed, Here; dit sal U nooit oorkom nie. Maar Hy het omgedraai en vir Petrus gesê: Gaan weg agter My, Satan! Jy is vir My ’n struikelblok, omdat jy nie die dinge van God bedink nie, maar die dinge van die mense. Toe sê Jesus vir sy dissipels: As iemand agter My aan wil kom, moet hy homself verloën en sy kruis opneem en My volg. Want elkeen wat sy lewe wil red, sal dit verloor; maar elkeen wat sy lewe om My ontwil verloor, sal dit vind. Want wat baat dit ’n mens as hy die hele wêreld win, maar aan sy siel skade ly? Of wat sal ’n mens gee as losprys vir sy siel? Want die Seun van die mens staan gereed om met sy engele in die heerlikheid van sy Vader te kom, en dan sal Hy elkeen vergeld volgens sy werke. Voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, daar is sommige van die wat hier staan, wat die dood sekerlik nie sal smaak voordat hulle die Seun van die mens in sy koninkryk sien kom het nie. Matthéüs 16:21–28.
The first, and therefore based upon the rule of first mention, the most important thing Jesus told His disciples about the sufferings of the cross, is that they would need to take up their own cross, if they chose to follow Him. Sister White clearly states that the cross is also the yoke. The yoke and the cross are symbols of man’s personal will, and it all depends upon the correct exercise of the will. The power which upholds God’s temple is a Lamb that had been slain and hung upon a “pillar”. The Lamb that is slain represents the crucifixion of the lower fleshly nature, and the “pillar” that the dead flesh is hung upon is the will. Christ provided His example of how to overcome by always keeping His will in submission to His Father’s will, and for accomplishing that work, He sat down on the throne with His Father. The symbol of overcoming is the slain Lamb hung upon the pillar. All these truths are directly associated with those represented as Peter.
वह पहली बात, और इसलिए प्रथम उल्लेख के नियम के आधार पर सबसे महत्त्वपूर्ण बात, जो यीशु ने अपने चेलों से क्रूस की पीड़ाओं के विषय में कही, यह थी कि यदि वे उसका अनुसरण करना चुनें, तो उन्हें अपना-अपना क्रूस उठाना होगा। सिस्टर व्हाइट स्पष्ट रूप से कहती हैं कि क्रूस जूआ भी है। जूआ और क्रूस मनुष्य की व्यक्तिगत इच्छा के प्रतीक हैं, और सब कुछ इच्छा के उचित प्रयोग पर निर्भर करता है। वह सामर्थ्य जो परमेश्वर के मन्दिर को थामे रखती है, वह ऐसा मेम्ना है जो वध किया गया था और एक “स्तम्भ” पर टाँगा गया था। वध किया गया मेम्ना निम्न, शारीरिक स्वभाव के क्रूसीकरण का प्रतीक है, और वह “स्तम्भ” जिस पर मृत शारीरिक स्वभाव टाँगा जाता है, वह इच्छा है। मसीह ने इस बात में अपना आदर्श प्रस्तुत किया कि किस प्रकार जय प्राप्त की जाए—अपनी इच्छा को सदा अपने पिता की इच्छा के अधीन रखकर; और उस कार्य को पूरा करने के कारण, वह अपने पिता के साथ सिंहासन पर बैठ गया। जय प्राप्त करने का प्रतीक वह वध किया गया मेम्ना है जो स्तम्भ पर टाँगा गया है। ये सब सत्य सीधे उन लोगों से संबंधित हैं जिनका प्रतिनिधित्व पतरस के रूप में किया गया है।
Unto Philadelphia, represented by the Exeter tent, it is stated:
Kwa Filadelfia, inayowakilishwa na hema la Exeter, imeelezwa:
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:12, 13.
Celui qui vaincra, je ferai de lui une colonne dans le temple de mon Dieu, et il n’en sortira plus; et j’écrirai sur lui le nom de mon Dieu, et le nom de la cité de mon Dieu, la nouvelle Jérusalem, qui descend du ciel d’auprès de mon Dieu; et j’écrirai sur lui mon nom nouveau. Que celui qui a des oreilles entende ce que l’Esprit dit aux Églises. Apocalypse 3:12, 13.
He that overcomes as Christ overcame will receive a new name, just as Simon Barjonah did, and they will become a pillar in God’s temple, just as Christ is the Lamb that was slain and hung upon a pillar in God’s temple. When they overcome as Christ overcame, they will also sit upon the throne in heavenly places, as did Christ.
Celui qui vaincra comme Christ a vaincu recevra un nom nouveau, tout comme Simon Barjonah, et ils deviendront une colonne dans le temple de Dieu, tout comme Christ est l’Agneau qui a été immolé et suspendu à une colonne dans le temple de Dieu. Lorsqu’ils vaincront comme Christ a vaincu, ils siégeront aussi sur le trône dans les lieux célestes, comme Christ lui-même.
Unto Laodicea, represented by the Watertown tent, it is stated:
Kwa Laodikia, inayowakilishwa na hema la Watertown, imesemwa:
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:20–22.
Voici, je me tiens à la porte, et je frappe : si quelqu’un entend ma voix et ouvre la porte, j’entrerai chez lui, je souperai avec lui, et lui avec moi. À celui qui vaincra, je donnerai de s’asseoir avec moi sur mon trône, comme moi aussi j’ai vaincu et me suis assis avec mon Père sur son trône. Que celui qui a des oreilles entende ce que l’Esprit dit aux Églises. Apocalypse 3:20–22.
The first truth Jesus told the disciples as He began to reveal the sufferings of the cross was the truth that men must overcome exactly as He had provided an example of overcoming. Men must crucify the flesh with the affections and lusts. When this is done they will be seated in heavenly places.
Chokwadi chokutanga Jesu chaakaudza vadzidzi paakatanga kuvazarurira kutambudzika kwomuchinjikwa, chaiva chokuti vanhu vanofanira kukunda sezvaAkanga aratidza muenzaniso wokukunda. Vanhu vanofanira kuroverera pamuchinjikwa nyama pamwe chete nokunzwa kwayo nezvishuwo zvayo. Kana izvi zvaitwa, vachagariswa munzvimbo dzokudenga.
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:5, 6.
Même lorsque nous étions morts dans nos péchés, il nous a rendus à la vie avec Christ — c’est par grâce que vous êtes sauvés — ; il nous a ressuscités ensemble, et nous a fait asseoir ensemble dans les lieux célestes en Jésus-Christ. Éphésiens 2:5, 6.
After presenting the truth of the crucifixion, in terms of personal responsibility, The Lion of the tribe of Judah added another truth which addresses the last days.
Baada ya kuwasilisha ukweli wa kusulubiwa, kwa mtazamo wa uwajibikaji wa kibinafsi, Simba wa kabila la Yuda aliongeza ukweli mwingine unaohusu siku za mwisho.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Matthew 16:26–28.
Car que sert-il à un homme de gagner le monde entier, s’il perd son âme? ou que donnera un homme en échange de son âme? Car le Fils de l’homme viendra dans la gloire de son Père avec ses anges; et alors il rendra à chacun selon ses œuvres. En vérité, je vous le dis, il y en a quelques-uns de ceux qui sont ici présents, qui ne goûteront point la mort, jusqu’à ce qu’ils aient vu le Fils de l’homme venant dans son règne. Matthieu 16:26–28.
When the message of the Midnight Cry is unsealed by the Lion of the tribe of Judah in the concluding period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand there would be some who did not die. He then addressed specifically the one hundred and forty-four thousand, His last-day people who do not taste of death. Therefore, six days after His visit to Caesarea Philippi the Lion of the tribe of Judah unsealed a truth that was to strengthen His disciples for the coming crisis of the cross, but it more importantly spoke to the soon coming Sunday law.
Wanneer die boodskap van die Middernagroep deur die Leeu uit die stam van Juda in die afsluitende tydperk van die verseëling van die honderd-vier-en-veertigduisend ontsluit word, sou daar sommige wees wat nie sou sterf nie. Toe het Hy Hom in die besonder gerig tot die honderd-vier-en-veertigduisend, sy volk van die laaste dae wat die dood nie smaak nie. Daarom het die Leeu uit die stam van Juda ses dae ná sy besoek aan Cesarea Filippi ’n waarheid ontsluit wat bedoel was om sy dissipels te versterk vir die komende krisis van die kruis, maar wat, nog belangriker, gespreek het van die spoedig komende Sondagswet.
And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist. Matthew 17:1–13.
Et après six jours, Jésus prend avec lui Pierre, Jacques et Jean, son frère, et les conduit à l’écart sur une haute montagne. Et il fut transfiguré devant eux : son visage resplendit comme le soleil, et ses vêtements devinrent blancs comme la lumière. Et voici que Moïse et Élie leur apparurent, s’entretenant avec lui. Alors Pierre, prenant la parole, dit à Jésus : Seigneur, il nous est bon d’être ici ; si tu le veux, faisons ici trois tentes : une pour toi, une pour Moïse, et une pour Élie. Comme il parlait encore, voici qu’une nuée lumineuse les couvrit de son ombre ; et voici qu’une voix sortit de la nuée, disant : Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé, en qui j’ai mis toute mon affection ; écoutez-le. Quand les disciples entendirent cela, ils tombèrent sur leur face et furent saisis d’une grande crainte. Mais Jésus s’approcha, les toucha, et dit : Levez-vous, et n’ayez pas peur. Alors, levant les yeux, ils ne virent plus personne, si ce n’est Jésus seul. Et comme ils descendaient de la montagne, Jésus leur donna cet ordre : Ne parlez de cette vision à personne, jusqu’à ce que le Fils de l’homme soit ressuscité des morts. Et ses disciples l’interrogèrent, disant : Pourquoi donc les scribes disent-ils qu’Élie doit venir premièrement ? Jésus leur répondit : Il est vrai qu’Élie doit venir premièrement, et rétablir toutes choses. Mais je vous dis qu’Élie est déjà venu, et ils ne l’ont pas reconnu ; au contraire, ils l’ont traité comme ils l’ont voulu. De même le Fils de l’homme souffrira de leur part. Alors les disciples comprirent qu’il leur parlait de Jean-Baptiste. Matthieu 17:1–13.
In the passage the Lion of the tribe of Judah is unsealing the truths that seal the one hundred and forty-four thousand just before the close of probation, for the “time is at hand.” He first identified the suffering of the cross, and represented the experience as the defining difference between one class who would refuse to exercise their will in crucifying the flesh, and a class who would follow Christ’s example. Then He presented to them that they were representing the last generation of earth’s history, when there would be people who lived from the time of the unsealing that took place on September 11, 2001, until His return.
Đoạn văn này cho thấy Sư Tử của chi phái Giu-đa đang mở các lẽ thật vốn ấn chứng một trăm bốn mươi bốn nghìn người ngay trước khi thời kỳ ân điển chấm dứt, vì “thời điểm đã gần.” Trước hết, Ngài xác định sự đau khổ của thập tự giá, và trình bày kinh nghiệm ấy như sự khác biệt quyết định giữa một hạng người từ chối vận dụng ý chí mình để đóng đinh xác thịt, và một hạng người sẽ noi theo gương của Đấng Christ. Sau đó, Ngài trình bày cho họ rằng họ đang tiêu biểu cho thế hệ cuối cùng trong lịch sử của trái đất, khi sẽ có những người sống từ thời điểm việc mở ấn diễn ra vào ngày 11 tháng 9 năm 2001 cho đến khi Ngài tái lâm.
Then He presented a vision of His glorified being, and with Him were Moses and Elijah. The sealing message that is unsealed is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, that is associated with Moses and Elijah, and that message began to be unsealed in July 2023, when the two witnesses of Revelation chapter eleven, who are Moses and Elijah, were established, line upon line, as the symbols that represented the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. When the three disciples saw the vision and heard God’s voice, “they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.”
Puis Il présenta une vision de Son être glorifié, et avec Lui étaient Moïse et Élie. Le message du scellement qui est descellé est la Révélation de Jésus-Christ, laquelle est associée à Moïse et à Élie, et ce message a commencé à être descellé en juillet 2023, lorsque les deux témoins d’Apocalypse chapitre onze, qui sont Moïse et Élie, furent établis, ligne sur ligne, comme les symboles représentant le scellement des cent quarante-quatre mille. Lorsque les trois disciples virent la vision et entendirent la voix de Dieu, « ils tombèrent sur leur face, et furent saisis d’une grande crainte. Et Jésus s’approcha, les toucha, et dit : Levez-vous, et n’ayez pas peur. »
The vision which the three disciples saw, represents a vision of Christ’s glory in the last days, and it is therefore the same vision which Daniel saw in chapter ten.
Ang pangitain na nakita ng tatlong alagad ay kumakatawan sa isang pangitain ng kaluwalhatian ni Cristo sa mga huling araw, at samakatuwid ito rin ang gayunding pangitain na nakita ni Daniel sa kabanata sampu.
And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. Daniel 10:7–12.
I ja, Daniel, sam jeden widziałem to widzenie; mężowie zaś, którzy byli ze mną, nie widzieli tego widzenia, lecz padło na nich wielkie drżenie, tak iż uciekli, aby się ukryć. I zostałem sam, i ujrzałem to wielkie widzenie, i nie pozostała we mnie żadna siła; moja bowiem czerstwość obróciła się we mnie w skażenie i nie zachowałem żadnej siły. Usłyszałem jednak głos jego słów; a gdy usłyszałem głos jego słów, zapadłem na twarz moją w głęboki sen, z obliczem ku ziemi. A oto dotknęła mnie ręka i postawiła mnie na kolanach moich i na dłoniach rąk moich. I rzekł do mnie: Danielu, mężu wielce umiłowany, zrozum słowa, które mówię do ciebie, i stań prosto, ponieważ teraz zostałem posłany do ciebie. A gdy wypowiedział do mnie to słowo, stanąłem drżąc. Wtedy rzekł do mnie: Nie lękaj się, Danielu, gdyż od pierwszego dnia, odkąd przyłożyłeś serce swoje, aby zrozumieć i uniżyć samego siebie przed twoim Bogiem, twoje słowa zostały wysłuchane, a ja przyszedłem z powodu twoich słów. Daniela 10:7–12.
The vision of the transfiguration in Matthew chapter seventeen, is the looking-glass vision of Daniel chapter ten, that takes place when the dead dry bones of Ezekiel are resurrected. The vision, and the associated message, manifests two classes of worshippers, one in the Exeter tent, and the other in the Watertown tent, which is Jeremiah’s assembly of mockers, and John’s synagogue of Satan. As with the effects of the vision in Daniel’s testimony, so too “when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.” The vision was audible and visual in both cases, and it produced fear, in both examples. A “touch” was required to strengthen in both testimonies.
La vision de la transfiguration, au chapitre dix-sept de Matthieu, est la vision-miroir du chapitre dix de Daniel, qui se produit lorsque les ossements desséchés des morts d’Ézéchiel ressuscitent. La vision, ainsi que le message qui lui est associé, manifeste deux classes d’adorateurs, l’une dans la tente d’Exeter, et l’autre dans la tente de Watertown, laquelle est l’assemblée des moqueurs de Jérémie, et la synagogue de Satan de Jean. Comme pour les effets de la vision dans le témoignage de Daniel, de même aussi « quand les disciples l’entendirent, ils tombèrent sur leur face, et furent saisis d’une grande crainte. Et Jésus s’approcha, les toucha, et dit : Levez-vous, et n’ayez pas peur. » La vision fut, dans les deux cas, à la fois audible et visible, et elle produisit la crainte, dans les deux exemples. Un « toucher » fut nécessaire pour fortifier dans les deux témoignages.
The vision of the transfiguration was evidence, among other things that the Word of God never fails, for in chapter sixteen of Matthew, in the final verse, Jesus had stated that “There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” The transfiguration was an illustration of the coming of “the Son of man” in His kingdom.
A biváltozás látomása egyebek mellett annak bizonyítéka volt, hogy Isten Igéje soha nem vall kudarcot, mert Máté tizenhatodik fejezetének utolsó versében Jézus kijelentette: „Bizony vannak az itt állók között némelyek, akik nem ízlelik meg a halált addig, míg meg nem látják az Emberfiát eljönni az ő országában.” A színeváltozás „az Emberfia” eljövetelének szemléltetése volt az Ő országában.
“Moses upon the mount of transfiguration was a witness to Christ’s victory over sin and death. He represented those who shall come forth from the grave at the resurrection of the just. Elijah, who had been translated to heaven without seeing death, represented those who will be living upon the earth at Christ’s second coming, and who will be ‘changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump;’ when ‘this mortal must put on immortality,’ and ‘this corruptible must put on incorruption.’ 1 Corinthians 15:51–53. Jesus was clothed with the light of heaven, as He will appear when He shall come ‘the second time without sin unto salvation.’ For He will come ‘in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.’ Hebrews 9:28; Mark 8:38. The Saviour’s promise to the disciples was now fulfilled. Upon the mount the future kingdom of glory was represented in miniature,—Christ the King, Moses a representative of the risen saints, and Elijah of the translated ones.” The Desire of Ages, 421.
「モーセは変貌の山において、キリストの罪と死に対する勝利の証人であった。彼は、義人の復活の時に墓から出て来る者たちを代表していた。死を見ることなく天に移されたエリヤは、キリストの再臨の時に地上に生きている者たち、そして『たちまち、瞬く間に、終わりのラッパとともに』変えられる者たちを代表していた。すなわち、その時『この死ぬべきものは必ず不死を着、この朽ちるべきものは必ず朽ちないものを着る』のである。第一コリント15:51–53。イエスは天の光をまとっておられたが、それは、彼が『罪を離れて二度目に現れて救いを与えられる』時に現れるその姿であった。なぜなら、彼は『父の栄光のうちに聖なる御使いたちと共に』来られるからである。ヘブル9:28;マルコ8:38。こうして、救い主が弟子たちに与えられた約束は、今や成就した。山の上では、来たるべき栄光の御国が縮図として示されたのである――王なるキリスト、復活した聖徒たちの代表としてのモーセ、そして移された者たちの代表としてのエリヤである。」『各時代の希望』421頁。
The sealing truth includes an identification that the one hundred and forty-four thousand are those represented in Revelation chapter seven, who do not die, and are represented by Elijah, and that the great multitude in Revelation chapter seven, are those represented by Moses, that do die. The one group is called at the first voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, and the other group is called at the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen.
Det beseglende sannhetsbudskapet omfatter en identifikasjon av at de hundre og førtifire tusen er dem som er framstilt i Åpenbaringen kapittel syv, som ikke dør, og som er representert ved Elia; og at den store skare i Åpenbaringen kapittel syv er dem som er representert ved Moses, som dør. Den ene gruppen kalles ved den første røst i Åpenbaringen kapittel atten, og den andre gruppen kalles ved den andre røst i Åpenbaringen kapittel atten.
After the touch, Jesus gave further instruction to the disciples when He said, “Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.” The vision of the transfiguration, which is the vision of the looking-glass, and the vision of Isaiah in chapter six, and Paul’s vision while in the third heaven, and Ezekiel’s vision of the wheels within the wheels was sealed up by the Lion of the tribe of Judah, until after the resurrection of Christ.
Baada ya mguso huo, Yesu akawapa wanafunzi maagizo zaidi aliposema, “Msimwambie mtu yeyote maono hayo, mpaka Mwana wa Adamu atakapofufuka tena kutoka kwa wafu.” Maono ya kubadilika sura, ambayo ndiyo maono ya kioo, na maono ya Isaya katika sura ya sita, na maono ya Paulo alipokuwa katika mbingu ya tatu, na maono ya Ezekieli ya magurudumu yaliyo ndani ya magurudumu yalitiwa muhuri na Simba wa kabila la Yuda, mpaka baada ya ufufuo wa Kristo.
The resurrection of Christ represents the resurrection of the two witnesses that were with Christ in that very vision, and they were to be resurrected in July of 2023. At that point the sealing message would be unsealed to the two witnesses of Revelation eleven and the two groups of faithful, and it would be placed in the context of the looking-glass vision of Christ’s glory at the end of the world.
Ọdịda n’ọnwụ nke Kraịst na-anọchite anya mbilite n’ọnwụ nke ndị àmà abụọ ndị ahụ nọnyere Kraịst n’ọhụụ ahụ kpọmkwem, a ga-emekwa ka ha bilie n’ọnwụ n’ọnwa Julaị nke afọ 2023. N’oge ahụ, a ga-ekpughe ozi nke ịkàrà ahụ nye ndị àmà abụọ nke Mkpughe iri na otu na otu ìgwè abụọ nke ndị kwesịrị ntụkwasị obi, a ga-etinyekwa ya n’ọnọdụ nke ọhụụ enyo nke ebube Kraịst n’ọgwụgwụ ụwa.
The sealing message will also be placed within the context of the first three verses of Revelation chapter one, where the chain of communication, that represents the combination of divinity with humanity is set forth in the step-by-step process of how the sealing message is presented to those who are candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
Le message du scellement sera également replacé dans le contexte des trois premiers versets du chapitre premier de l’Apocalypse, où la chaîne de communication, qui représente l’union de la divinité avec l’humanité, est exposée dans le processus progressif par lequel le message du scellement est présenté à ceux qui sont appelés à faire partie des cent quarante-quatre mille.
The step-by-step process was from the Father, to the Son, to the angel Gabriel, to John, to the churches. From the Divine Father, to the Divine and human Son, to an unfallen creature (Gabriel), to a fallen creature (John) to the churches which are in Asia (the world.) The five steps are specifically identified at the very first mention of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, and to deny any step is to deny them all.
Den stap-vir-stap-proses was van die Vader na die Seun, na die engel Gabriël, na Johannes, na die gemeentes. Van die goddelike Vader, na die goddelike en menslike Seun, na ’n ongevallen skepsel (Gabriël), na ’n gevalle skepsel (Johannes), na die gemeentes wat in Asië is (die wêreld). Die vyf stappe word uitdruklik geïdentifiseer by die heel eerste vermelding van die Openbaring van Jesus Christus, en om enige stap te ontken, is om hulle almal te ontken.
In agreement with that revelation the disciples then asked Jesus “Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.”
Ngokuhambisana naleso sambulo abafundi base bemuza uJesu bathi, “Pho kungani ababhali besho ukuthi u-Eliya kumelwe afike kuqala na?” UJesu waphendula wathi kubo, “Ngempela u-Eliya uyakuza kuqala, abuyisele zonke izinto. Kodwa ngithi kini, u-Eliya usefikile kakade, futhi abazange bamqaphele, kodwa benza kuye konke abakuthandayo. Kanjalo neNdodana yomuntu iyakuhlupheka ngezandla zabo.” Khona abafundi baqonda ukuthi wayekhuluma kubo ngoJohane uMbhapathizi.
The prophetic role of John the Baptist and John the Revelator is an element of the sealing message, and those in the Watertown tent who chose to disregard the message of Samuel Snow, represent those who are unwilling to acknowledge that the Lord selects the men He chooses to select. The voice that was selected in 1989, who first published its message two hundred and twenty years after 1776, in 1996, who was the watchman who identified that the third woe had arrived on September 11, 2001, who presented the sinful message of July 18, 2020, is part of the sealing message, and his role is represented by John the Baptist.
Lura profetike e Gjon Pagëzorit dhe e Gjon Zbulesit është një element i mesazhit të vulosjes, dhe ata që në çadrën e Watertown-it zgjodhën ta shpërfillnin mesazhin e Samuel Snow-it, përfaqësojnë ata që nuk janë të gatshëm të pranojnë se Zoti i zgjedh njerëzit që zgjedh të përzgjedhë. Zëri që u përzgjodh në vitin 1989, i cili e botoi për herë të parë mesazhin e tij dyqind e njëzet vjet pas vitit 1776, në vitin 1996, i cili ishte rojtarit që identifikoi se mjerimi i tretë kishte ardhur më 11 shtator 2001, i cili paraqiti mesazhin mëkatar të 18 korrikut 2020, është pjesë e mesazhit të vulosjes, dhe roli i tij përfaqësohet nga Gjon Pagëzori.

“I saw a company who stood well-guarded and firm, giving no countenance to those who would unsettle the established faith of the body. God looked upon them with approbation. I was shown three steps—the first, second, and third angels’ messages. Said my accompanying angel, ‘Woe to him who shall move a block or stir a pin of these messages. The true understanding of these messages is of vital importance. The destiny of souls hangs upon the manner in which they are received.’ I was again brought down through these messages, and saw how dearly the people of God had purchased their experience. It had been obtained through much suffering and severe conflict. God had led them along step by step, until He had placed them upon a solid, immovable platform. I saw individuals approach the platform and examine the foundation. Some with rejoicing immediately stepped upon it. Others commenced to find fault with the foundation. They wished improvements made, and then the platform would be more perfect, and the people much happier. Some stepped off the platform to examine it and declared it to be laid wrong. But I saw that nearly all stood firm upon the platform and exhorted those who had stepped off to cease their complaints; for God was the Master Builder, and they were fighting against Him. They recounted the wonderful work of God, which had led them to the firm platform, and in union raised their eyes to heaven and with a loud voice glorified God. This affected some of those who had complained and left the platform, and they with humble look again stepped upon it.
«ما گروهی را دیدم که نیکو محافظتشده و استوار ایستاده بودند و به کسانی که میخواستند ایمانِ استوارِ پیکر را متزلزل سازند، هیچ مجال و روی خوشی نشان نمیدادند. خدا با رضامندی بر آنان نظر افکند. سه گام به من نشان داده شد—پیامهای فرشتهٔ اول، دوم و سوم. فرشتهای که همراه من بود گفت: “وای بر کسی که از این پیامها سنگی را جابهجا کند یا سوزنی را به حرکت درآورد. فهمِ درستِ این پیامها از اهمیتی حیاتی برخوردار است. سرنوشتِ جانها به چگونگیِ پذیرفته شدنِ آنها بسته است.” بار دیگر از خلال این پیامها به پایین برده شدم و دیدم که قومِ خدا تجربهٔ خود را به چه بهای گران خریده بودند. آن از خلال رنج بسیار و کشمکشِ سخت به دست آمده بود. خدا آنان را گامبهگام رهبری کرده بود تا ایشان را بر سکویی استوار و غیرقابلِ جنبش قرار داده بود. دیدم اشخاصی به سکو نزدیک شدند و بنیاد آن را بررسی کردند. بعضی با شادی بیدرنگ بر آن گام نهادند. دیگران آغاز کردند به عیبجویی از بنیاد. آنان خواهان آن بودند که اصلاحاتی صورت گیرد، و آنگاه سکو کاملتر میبود و مردم بسی خوشتر. برخی از سکو پایین آمدند تا آن را بررسی کنند و اعلام کردند که نادرست نهاده شده است. اما دیدم که تقریباً همه بر سکو استوار ایستاده بودند و آنان را که از سکو پایین آمده بودند، exhort میکردند که از شکایتهای خود دست بردارند؛ زیرا خدا استادِ بنا بود و ایشان بر ضد او میجنگیدند. آنان کار شگفتِ خدا را بازمیشمردند که ایشان را به سوی آن سکوی استوار هدایت کرده بود، و در یگانگی چشمان خود را به آسمان برافراشتند و با آوازی بلند خدا را تمجید کردند. این امر بر بعضی از آنان که شکایت کرده و سکو را ترک گفته بودند اثر گذاشت، و ایشان با چهرهای فروتن بار دیگر بر آن گام نهادند.»
“I was pointed back to the proclamation of the first advent of Christ. John was sent in the spirit and power of Elijah to prepare the way of Jesus. Those who rejected the testimony of John were not benefited by the teachings of Jesus. Their opposition to the message that foretold His coming placed them where they could not readily receive the strongest evidence that He was the Messiah. Satan led on those who rejected the message of John to go still farther, to reject and crucify Christ. In doing this they placed themselves where they could not receive the blessing on the day of Pentecost, which would have taught them the way into the heavenly sanctuary. The rendering of the veil of the temple showed that the Jewish sacrifices and ordinances would no longer be received. The great Sacrifice had been offered and had been accepted, and the Holy Spirit which descended on the day of Pentecost carried the minds of the disciples from the earthly sanctuary to the heavenly, where Jesus had entered by His own blood, to shed upon His disciples the benefits of His atonement. But the Jews were left in total darkness. They lost all the light which they might have had upon the plan of salvation, and still trusted in their useless sacrifices and offerings. The heavenly sanctuary had taken the place of the earthly, yet they had no knowledge of the change. Therefore they could not be benefited by the mediation of Christ in the holy place.
« Il m’a été ramené à la proclamation du premier avènement du Christ. Jean fut envoyé dans l’esprit et la puissance d’Élie pour préparer le chemin de Jésus. Ceux qui rejetèrent le témoignage de Jean ne tirèrent aucun profit des enseignements de Jésus. Leur opposition au message qui annonçait d’avance sa venue les plaça dans une situation où ils ne pouvaient pas recevoir aisément les preuves les plus fortes qu’il était le Messie. Satan poussa ceux qui rejetèrent le message de Jean à aller encore plus loin, jusqu’à rejeter et crucifier le Christ. En agissant ainsi, ils se mirent dans une condition où ils ne pouvaient recevoir la bénédiction du jour de la Pentecôte, laquelle leur aurait enseigné le chemin vers le sanctuaire céleste. Le déchirement du voile du temple montra que les sacrifices et les ordonnances juifs ne seraient plus désormais agréés. Le grand Sacrifice avait été offert et avait été accepté, et le Saint-Esprit qui descendit au jour de la Pentecôte détourna les pensées des disciples du sanctuaire terrestre pour les porter vers le sanctuaire céleste, où Jésus était entré par son propre sang, afin de répandre sur ses disciples les bienfaits de son expiation. Mais les Juifs furent laissés dans une obscurité totale. Ils perdirent toute la lumière qu’ils auraient pu avoir sur le plan du salut, et continuèrent de se confier en leurs sacrifices et en leurs offrandes devenus inutiles. Le sanctuaire céleste avait pris la place du sanctuaire terrestre, pourtant ils n’avaient aucune connaissance de ce changement. C’est pourquoi ils ne pouvaient bénéficier de la médiation du Christ dans le lieu saint. »
“Many look with horror at the course of the Jews in rejecting and crucifying Christ; and as they read the history of His shameful abuse, they think they love Him, and would not have denied Him as did Peter, or crucified Him as did the Jews. But God who reads the hearts of all, has brought to the test that love for Jesus which they professed to feel. All heaven watched with the deepest interest the reception of the first angel’s message. But many who professed to love Jesus, and who shed tears as they read the story of the cross, derided the good news of His coming. Instead of receiving the message with gladness, they declared it to be a delusion. They hated those who loved His appearing and shut them out of the churches. Those who rejected the first message could not be benefited by the second; neither were they benefited by the midnight cry, which was to prepare them to enter with Jesus by faith into the most holy place of the heavenly sanctuary. And by rejecting the two former messages, they have so darkened their understanding that they can see no light in the third angel’s message, which shows the way into the most holy place. 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. Like the Jews, who offered their useless sacrifices, they offer up their useless prayers to the apartment which Jesus has left; and Satan, pleased with the deception, assumes a religious character, and leads the minds of these professed Christians to himself, working with his power, his signs and lying wonders, to fasten them in his snare. Some he deceives in one way, and some in another. He has different delusions prepared to affect different minds. Some look with horror upon one deception, while they readily receive another. Satan deceives some with Spiritualism. He also comes as an angel of light and spreads his influence over the land by means of false reformations. The churches are elated, and consider that God is working marvelously for them, when it is the work of another spirit. The excitement will die away and leave the world and the church in a worse condition than before.
“Beberapa orang memandang dengan ngeri akan tindakan orang-orang Yahudi dalam menolak dan menyalibkan Kristus; dan ketika mereka membaca sejarah tentang perlakuan hina terhadap-Nya, mereka mengira bahwa mereka mengasihi Dia, dan tidak akan menyangkal-Nya seperti yang dilakukan Petrus, atau menyalibkan-Nya seperti yang dilakukan orang-orang Yahudi. Tetapi Allah, yang membaca hati semua orang, telah membawa kepada ujian kasih kepada Yesus yang mereka akui mereka rasakan. Seluruh surga menyaksikan dengan minat yang sedalam-dalamnya penerimaan pekabaran malaikat pertama. Namun banyak orang yang mengaku mengasihi Yesus, dan yang mencucurkan air mata ketika membaca kisah salib, justru mencemooh kabar baik tentang kedatangan-Nya. Gantinya menerima pekabaran itu dengan sukacita, mereka menyatakannya sebagai suatu khayalan. Mereka membenci orang-orang yang mengasihi penyataan-Nya dan mengusir mereka keluar dari gereja-gereja. Mereka yang menolak pekabaran pertama tidak dapat menerima manfaat dari pekabaran kedua; demikian pula mereka tidak menerima manfaat dari seruan tengah malam, yang dimaksudkan untuk mempersiapkan mereka agar masuk bersama Yesus oleh iman ke dalam tempat yang maha kudus di kaabah sorgawi. Dan dengan menolak kedua pekabaran yang terdahulu itu, mereka telah begitu menggelapkan pengertian mereka sehingga mereka tidak dapat melihat terang dalam pekabaran malaikat ketiga, yang menunjukkan jalan ke dalam tempat yang maha kudus. Aku melihat bahwa sebagaimana orang-orang Yahudi telah menyalibkan Yesus, demikian pula gereja-gereja nominal telah menyalibkan pekabaran-pekabaran ini; oleh sebab itu mereka tidak mempunyai pengetahuan tentang jalan ke tempat yang maha kudus, dan mereka tidak dapat menerima manfaat dari pengantaraan Yesus di sana. Seperti orang-orang Yahudi, yang mempersembahkan korban-korban mereka yang sia-sia, mereka mempersembahkan doa-doa mereka yang sia-sia kepada ruangan yang telah ditinggalkan Yesus; dan Iblis, yang berkenan atas penipuan itu, mengambil rupa keagamaan, dan menuntun pikiran orang-orang yang mengaku Kristen ini kepada dirinya sendiri, bekerja dengan kuasanya, tanda-tandanya, dan mukjizat-mukjizat dusta, untuk mengikat mereka dalam jeratnya. Sebagian ditipunya dengan satu cara, dan sebagian lagi dengan cara yang lain. Ia mempunyai berbagai kesesatan yang telah disiapkan untuk memengaruhi berbagai macam pikiran. Sebagian orang memandang dengan ngeri terhadap satu penyesatan, sementara mereka dengan mudah menerima yang lain. Iblis menipu sebagian orang dengan Spiritualisme. Ia juga datang sebagai malaikat terang dan menyebarkan pengaruhnya ke seluruh negeri melalui reformasi-reformasi palsu. Gereja-gereja menjadi bersukacita dan menganggap bahwa Allah sedang bekerja secara ajaib bagi mereka, padahal itu adalah pekerjaan roh yang lain. Kegairahan itu akan padam dan meninggalkan dunia serta gereja dalam keadaan yang lebih buruk daripada sebelumnya.”
“I saw that God has honest children among the nominal Adventists and the fallen churches, and before the plagues shall be poured out, ministers and people will be called out from these churches and will gladly receive the truth. Satan knows this; and before the loud cry of the third angel is given, he raises an excitement in these religious bodies, that those who have rejected the truth may think that God is with them. He hopes to deceive the honest and lead them to think that God is still working for the churches. But the light will shine, and all who are honest will leave the fallen churches, and take their stand with the remnant.” Early Writings, 258–261.
“我看见,在那些有名无实的复临信徒和已经堕落的众教会中,神仍有诚实的儿女;在灾殃倾倒之前,传道人和信徒都要从这些教会中被召出来,并且必欢然领受真理。撒但知道这一点;因此,在第三位天使的大声呼喊发出以前,他便在这些宗教团体中掀起一种激动的热潮,使那些拒绝真理的人以为神与他们同在。他希望借此迷惑诚实的人,引导他们以为神仍在为这些教会作工。然而,亮光必要照耀,凡诚实的人都必离开那些堕落的教会,站立在余民一边。”《早期著作》,258–261页。
