When the Lord entered into covenant with ancient Israel, He provided two tables as the foundation and symbol of the covenant relationship. The two tables also identified the responsibility of ancient Israel to present a living testimony of the two tables to the world. When the Lord entered into covenant with modern Israel, He provided two tables as the foundation and symbol of the covenant relationship. The two tables also identified their responsibility to present a living testimony of all four tables to the world.
当耶和华与古代以色列立约之时，祂赐下两块法版，作为这约之关系的根基与象征。这两块法版也表明了古代以色列的责任，即向世界彰显这两块法版活的见证。当耶和华与现代以色列立约之时，祂也赐下两块法版，作为这约之关系的根基与象征。这两块法版同样表明了他们的责任，即向世界彰显全部四块法版活的见证。
The two tables were given to literal ancient Israel just after God delivered them out of the literal slavery of Egyptian bondage, and brought them through the disappointment of the Red Sea crossing. The period of time that literal ancient Israel was in bondage had been specifically identified in prophecy as four hundred and thirty years, and while in bondage literal ancient Israel forgot, and ceased to observe, the seventh-day Sabbath.
Meja mbili hizo zilitolewa kwa Israeli ya kale halisi mara tu baada ya Mungu kuwaokoa kutoka katika utumwa halisi wa kifungo cha Misri, na kuwapitisha katika kukatishwa tamaa kwa kuvuka Bahari ya Shamu. Kipindi cha muda ambacho Israeli ya kale halisi ilikuwa katika kifungo kilikuwa kimetajwa kwa uwazi mahsusi katika unabii kuwa miaka mia nne na thelathini, na walipokuwa katika kifungo, Israeli ya kale halisi waliisahau Sabato ya siku ya saba, wakaacha kuishika.
The two tables were given to spiritual modern Israel just after God delivered them out of the spiritual slavery of Catholic bondage, and brought them through the great disappointment of 1844. The period of time that spiritual modern Israel was in bondage had been specifically identified in prophecy as twelve hundred and sixty years, and while in bondage spiritual modern Israel forgot, and ceased to observe, the seventh-day Sabbath.
Les deux tables furent données à l’Israël spirituel moderne juste après que Dieu les eut délivrés de l’esclavage spirituel de la servitude catholique, et les eut fait passer à travers la grande déception de 1844. La période pendant laquelle l’Israël spirituel moderne fut en servitude avait été spécifiquement identifiée dans la prophétie comme étant de mille deux cent soixante ans, et, durant cette servitude, l’Israël spirituel moderne oublia le sabbat du septième jour et cessa de l’observer.
In the very history when God provided the two tables to Moses to take to ancient Israel, his brother Aaron was making a golden image of a calf. The two tables of the Ten Commandments identify that God is a jealous God, and His jealousy is especially manifested against idolatry, and as Moses descended the mount, ancient Israel was dancing naked around a golden image that had been produced by the one who had been chosen as God’s spokesman.
Bisan sa mismong kasaysayan sa dihang gihatag sa Dios ngadto kang Moises ang duha ka papan aron dad-on ngadto sa karaang Israel, ang iyang igsoon nga si Aaron naghimo og bulawanong larawan sa usa ka nating baka. Ang duha ka papan sa Napulo ka mga Sugo nagpaila nga ang Dios usa ka mapangabughuong Dios, ug ang Iyang pangabugho ilabina makita batok sa pagsimba sa mga diosdios, ug sa dihang mikunsad si Moises gikan sa bukid, ang karaang Israel nagsayaw nga hubo libot sa usa ka bulawanong larawan nga gihimo sa usa nga gipili ingon nga tigpamaba sa Dios.
And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him. And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: And Aaron spake all the words which the Lord had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. Exodus 4:28–30.
Et Moïse rapporta à Aaron toutes les paroles de l’Éternel qui l’avait envoyé, ainsi que tous les signes qu’il lui avait ordonné d’accomplir. Puis Moïse et Aaron allèrent assembler tous les anciens des enfants d’Israël. Et Aaron dit toutes les paroles que l’Éternel avait adressées à Moïse, et il accomplit les signes aux yeux du peuple. Exode 4:28–30.
The brother of the prophet who led ancient Israel during the covenant history when the two covenant tables were provided was the leader in the rebellion of the image of jealousy. The husband of the prophetess who led modern Israel during the covenant history when the two covenant tables were provided was the leader in the rebellion of 1863, and 1863 marks the first generation of Adventism as being represented as an image of jealousy being placed at the entry of the gate of the altar.
Ndugu wa nabii aliyeiongoza Israeli ya kale katika historia ya agano wakati vile vibao viwili vya agano vilipotolewa alikuwa ndiye kiongozi katika uasi wa sanamu ya wivu. Mume wa nabii mwanamke aliyeiongoza Israeli ya kisasa katika historia ya agano wakati vile vibao viwili vya agano vilipotolewa alikuwa ndiye kiongozi katika uasi wa mwaka 1863, na mwaka 1863 unaashiria kizazi cha kwanza cha Uadventista kuwa kimewakilishwa kama sanamu ya wivu iliyowekwa penye kuingilia pa lango la madhabahu.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. Ezekiel 8:5.
Je, asiye kuniambia, Mwana wa mtu, inua macho yako sasa kuelekea upande wa kaskazini. Basi nikainua macho yangu kuelekea upande wa kaskazini, na tazama, upande wa kaskazini, penye lango la madhabahu, palikuwa na sanamu hii ya wivu penye kuingilia. Ezekieli 8:5.
The “altar” is a symbol of Christ.
L’« autel » est un symbole de Christ.
“We are in danger of mingling the sacred and the common. The holy fire from God is to be used in our efforts. The true altar is Christ; the true fire is the Holy Spirit. This is our inspiration. It is only as the Holy Spirit leads and guides a man that he is a safe counselor. If we turn aside from God and from His chosen ones to inquire at strange altars we shall be answered according to our works.” Selected Messages, book 3, 300.
« Nous sommes en danger de mêler le sacré et le profane. Le feu sacré venant de Dieu doit être employé dans nos efforts. Le véritable autel, c’est le Christ; le véritable feu, c’est le Saint-Esprit. C’est là notre inspiration. Ce n’est que lorsque le Saint-Esprit conduit et dirige un homme qu’il est un conseiller sûr. Si nous nous détournons de Dieu et de ceux qu’Il a choisis pour interroger des autels étrangers, il nous sera répondu selon nos œuvres. » Selected Messages, book 3, 300.
The “gate” is the church.
La « porte » est l’Église.
“To the humble, believing soul, the house of God on earth is the gate of heaven. The song of praise, the prayer, the words spoken by Christ’s representatives, are God’s appointed agencies to prepare a people for the church above, for that loftier worship into which there can enter nothing that defileth.” Testimonies, volume 5, 491.
« Pour l’âme humble et croyante, la maison de Dieu sur la terre est la porte du ciel. Le cantique de louange, la prière, les paroles prononcées par les représentants du Christ sont les moyens institués par Dieu pour préparer un peuple à l’Église d’en haut, à ce culte plus élevé dans lequel rien de souillé ne peut entrer. » Témoignages, volume 5, p. 491.
In 1863, Laodicean Adventism became a legally registered church and ceased to be a movement. They “entered” into church history at that point. In 1863, the church of Christ entered into a legal association with the government of the United States. In that year they also introduced a counterfeit chart to replace the two sacred tables of Habakkuk. As soon as the second table was prepared, in terms of prophetic history those typified by Aaron were preparing a counterfeit image.
Ym 1863, daeth Adventistiaeth Laodicea yn eglwys a gofrestrwyd yn gyfreithiol ac a beidiodd â bod yn fudiad. Bryd hynny y “daethant i mewn” i hanes yr eglwys. Ym 1863, aeth eglwys Crist i mewn i gysylltiad cyfreithiol â llywodraeth yr Unol Daleithiau. Yn y flwyddyn honno hefyd cyflwynasant siart ffug i gymryd lle dwy dabl sanctaidd Habacuc. Cyn gynted ag y paratowyd yr ail dabl, o safbwynt hanes proffwydol yr oedd y rhai a raglunid gan Aaron yn paratoi delw ffug.
The second Commandment is the most specific warning against idolatry and the worship of images. It is also where God identifies His character as a jealous God. It is also there that He sets forth the principle that He reserves judgment upon the wicked unto the third and fourth generations. The Ten Commandments are a transcript of Christ’s character.
Amri ya pili ndiyo onyo la wazi zaidi dhidi ya ibada ya sanamu na kuabudu vinyago. Hapo pia ndipo Mungu anapojitambulisha tabia Yake kuwa ni Mungu mwenye wivu. Ni hapo pia ambapo huweka wazi kanuni kwamba huweka hukumu juu ya waovu hata kufikia kizazi cha tatu na cha nne. Amri Kumi ni nakala ya tabia ya Kristo.
“For the rejection of Christ, with the results that followed, they were responsible. A nation’s sin and a nation’s ruin were due to the religious leaders.
“Siitä, että Kristus hylättiin, sekä niistä seurauksista, jotka siitä aiheutuivat, he olivat vastuussa. Kansakunnan synti ja kansakunnan perikato johtuivat uskonnollisista johtajista.”
“In our day are not the same influences at work? Of the husbandmen of the Lord’s vineyard are not many following in the steps of the Jewish leaders? Are not religious teachers turning men away from the plain requirements of the word of God? Instead of educating them in obedience to God’s law, are they not educating them in transgression? From many of the pulpits of the churches the people are taught that the law of God is not binding upon them. Human traditions, ordinances, and customs are exalted. Pride and self-satisfaction because of the gifts of God are fostered, while the claims of God are ignored.
„În zilele noastre nu sunt oare la lucru aceleași influențe? Dintre vierii viei Domnului nu urmează oare mulți pe urmele conducătorilor iudei? Nu-i abat oare învățătorii religioși pe oameni de la cerințele limpezi ale Cuvântului lui Dumnezeu? În loc să-i educe în ascultare de Legea lui Dumnezeu, nu-i educă oare în călcare de lege? De la multe dintre amvoanele bisericilor, oamenii sunt învățați că Legea lui Dumnezeu nu este obligatorie pentru ei. Tradițiile, rânduielile și obiceiurile omenești sunt înălțate. Mândria și mulțumirea de sine datorate darurilor lui Dumnezeu sunt cultivate, în timp ce drepturile lui Dumnezeu sunt nesocotite.”
“In setting aside the law of God, men know not what they are doing. God’s law is the transcript of His character. It embodies the principles of His kingdom. He who refuses to accept these principles is placing himself outside the channel where God’s blessings flow.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 305.
„Илиспветин Напарчим Иҟагьын Ақәаб, ауаа ирдыруам иарбану аҟарарҵо. Иҟагьын Ақәаб — Уи Ахьыҧшра анотариатуп. Уаҟа Иаҳра апринципқәа рҽалархәуп. Арҭ апринципқәа рыдкылара мап зку, Анцәа иразҟықәа ахьҿырԥхо амҩанҵа анҭыҵ дҭиуеит.“ Christ’s Object Lessons, 305.
The character of Christ is His image, and it includes that He is a jealous God. God’s jealousy was manifested in Christ when He twice cleansed the temple. In the first temple cleansing the disciples who witnessed the work were then led to remember that the Scriptures referenced God’s jealousy.
Taivaan vallan armo ja vapauden lahja katsottiin liian usein velaksi, joka on maksettava inhimillisin voimin, uskonnollisin suorituksin ja pyhyyden ulkonaisilla merkeillä. Kristuksen luonne on kuitenkin Hänen kuvansa, ja siihen kuuluu myös se, että Hän on kiivas Jumala. Jumalan kiivaus tuli Kristuksessa ilmi, kun Hän kahdesti puhdisti temppelin. Ensimmäisessä temppelin puhdistuksessa ne opetuslapset, jotka näkivät tämän teon, johdatettiin muistamaan, että Kirjoitukset viittasivat Jumalan kiivauteen.
And the Jews’ Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables; And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise. And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. John 2:13–17.
Na Pasaka ya Wayahudi ilikuwa imekaribia, naye Yesu akapanda kwenda Yerusalemu, akawakuta hekaluni wale waliokuwa wakiuza ng’ombe na kondoo na hua, na wabadilishaji fedha wameketi; naye alipokwisha kufanya mjeledi wa kamba ndogo, akawafukuza wote kutoka hekaluni, na kondoo, na ng’ombe; akamwaga fedha za wale wabadilishaji, na kuzipindua meza; akawaambia wale waliokuwa wakiuza hua, Ondoeni vitu hivi hapa; msiifanye nyumba ya Baba yangu kuwa nyumba ya biashara. Nao wanafunzi wake wakakumbuka ya kuwa imeandikwa, Wivu wa nyumba yako umenila. Yohana 2:13–17.
In the Scriptures, both the Hebrew and the Greek the word “zealous” is also the word “jealous.” They are the same word. When Christ cleansed the temple, He was manifesting God’s jealousy, which is the attribute of God’s character that is identified in the second commandment, and it is especially manifested against idolatry. When Moses descended the mount with the two tables and understood what Aaron had done and what the people were doing, he broke the two tables. The two tables were the true image of jealously, for they were physical representations that identified God as a jealous God. When Moses broke the two tables, he was manifesting the very jealousy that is identified in the second commandment.
Dans les Écritures, tant en hébreu qu’en grec, le mot « zélé » est aussi le mot « jaloux ». C’est le même mot. Lorsque le Christ purifia le temple, Il manifestait la jalousie de Dieu, qui est un attribut du caractère de Dieu identifié dans le second commandement, et qui se manifeste tout particulièrement contre l’idolâtrie. Lorsque Moïse descendit de la montagne avec les deux tables et comprit ce qu’Aaron avait fait et ce que le peuple faisait, il brisa les deux tables. Les deux tables étaient la véritable image de la jalousie, car elles étaient des représentations physiques qui désignaient Dieu comme un Dieu jaloux. Lorsque Moïse brisa les deux tables, il manifestait la jalousie même qui est identifiée dans le second commandement.
And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables. And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear. And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses’ anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount. Exodus 32:15–19.
Atëherë Moisiu u kthye dhe zbriti nga mali, dhe dy pllakat e dëshmisë ishin në dorën e tij; pllakat ishin të shkruara në të dy anët e tyre; në njërën anë dhe në tjetrën ishin të shkruara. Dhe pllakat ishin vepër e Perëndisë, dhe shkrimi ishte shkrimi i Perëndisë, i gdhendur mbi pllakat. Dhe kur Jozueu dëgjoi zhurmën e popullit ndërsa bërtiste, i tha Moisiut: Ka zhurmë lufte në kamp. Dhe ai tha: Nuk është zëri i atyre që bërtasin për fitore, as nuk është zëri i atyre që klithin ngaqë janë mundur; por zhurmën e atyre që këndojnë po dëgjoj. Dhe ndodhi që, sapo iu afrua kampit, ai pa viçin dhe vallet; dhe zemërimi i Moisiut u ndez, dhe ai i hodhi pllakat nga duart e tij dhe i theu ato poshtë malit. Eksodi 32:15–19.
The two tables were the testimony of God’s character. The character of God is the image that is to be formed in men through the righteousness of Christ. The two tables are the true image of jealousy, and Aaron had produced a counterfeit image of jealousy at the very time that the true image of jealousy was being delivered to ancient Israel. Those who have Christ formed within have His image, and the robe of His righteousness, yet Aaron’s celebrants were dancing naked, for they were Laodiceans. Laodiceans are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.”
अल-दु तख़्तियाँ ख़ुदा के चरित्र की गवाही थीं। ख़ुदा का चरित्र वही सूरत है जो मसीह की धार्मिकता के द्वारा मनुष्यों में गठित की जानी है। वे दोनो तख़्तियाँ ग़ैरत की सच्ची सूरत थीं, और हारून ने ग़ैरत की एक जाली सूरत ठीक उसी समय बना दी थी जब ग़ैरत की सच्ची सूरत प्राचीन इस्राएल को दी जा रही थी। जिनके भीतर मसीह की सूरत बन चुकी है, वे उसकी सूरत और उसकी धार्मिकता का चोग़ा रखते हैं; तौभी हारून के उत्सव मनानेवाले नंगे होकर नाच रहे थे, क्योंकि वे लाओदीकिया वाले थे। लाओदीकिया वाले “बदहाल, और खस्ता-हाल, और कंगाल, और अन्धे, और नंगे” हैं।
And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies). Exodus 32:25.
Et lorsque Moïse vit que le peuple était nu — car Aaron l’avait laissé devenir nu, à sa honte parmi ses ennemis —. Exode 32:25.
In 1856, seven years before the counterfeit chart was produced, both James and Ellen White identified that the movement had transitioned into the Laodicean condition. In 1863, Adventism was as spiritually “naked” as was ancient Israel literally “naked” as they danced around the counterfeit image of jealousy. The counterfeit that Aaron had made was an idol made of gold, but it was an image of a calf, which is a beast. It was an image of the beast, and also an image to the beast. The golden calf was an image of the beast, but it also had been dedicated to the gods that Aaron unrighteously declared had delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage.
In 1856, seven years before the counterfeit chart was produced, both James and Ellen White identified that the movement had transitioned into the Laodicean condition. In 1863, Adventism was spiritually just as “naked” as ancient Israel was literally “naked” when they danced around the counterfeit image of jealousy. The counterfeit that Aaron had made was an idol fashioned of gold, yet it was the image of a calf, which is a beast. It was an image of the beast, and also an image to the beast. The golden calf was an image of the beast, but it had also been dedicated to the gods whom Aaron unrighteously declared had delivered Israel from Egyptian bondage.
And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow is a feast to the Lord. And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. Exodus 32:4–6.
एवं उसने उसे उनके हाथ से लिया, और उसे छैनी से गढ़कर ढला हुआ बछड़ा बनाया; तब उन्होंने कहा, हे इस्राएल, ये तेरे देवता हैं, जो तुझे मिस्र देश से निकाल लाए हैं। और जब हारून ने यह देखा, तब उसने उसके सामने एक वेदी बनाई; और हारून ने यह घोषणा की, और कहा, कल यहोवा के लिये पर्व होगा। और दूसरे दिन वे भोर ही उठे, और होमबलि चढ़ाई, तथा मेलबलि ले आए; और लोग खाने-पीने को बैठ गए, और क्रीड़ा करने को उठ खड़े हुए। निर्गमन 32:4–6.
The golden calf was an image of a beast, but it was dedicated to false gods, and so it was also an image (offering) to the beast. The image was made of gold, which is the symbol of Babylon, and it was a calf, which is the highest form of offering in the sanctuary service. It was dedicated to the gods of Egypt. Mystery Babylon (for all the prophetic testimonies identify the end of the world) consists of a woman riding upon a beast. The beast the woman rides is the United Nations (ten kings), and is a symbol of the dragon, atheism and Egypt. The woman herself is a counterfeit of God’s true church. The golden calf that Aaron dedicated to the gods of Egypt typified the great whore of Revelation seventeen, who is Babylon (gold), riding upon a beast (Egypt) and a counterfeit church (calf).
Un veau d’or était une image de la bête, mais il était consacré à de faux dieux; ainsi, il était aussi une image (offrande) à la bête. L’image était faite d’or, qui est le symbole de Babylone, et c’était un veau, qui est la forme la plus élevée d’offrande dans le service du sanctuaire. Il était consacré aux dieux de l’Égypte. Babylone la Grande, mystique (car tous les témoignages prophétiques identifient la fin du monde), consiste en une femme montée sur une bête. La bête que monte la femme est l’Organisation des Nations Unies (dix rois), et elle est un symbole du dragon, de l’athéisme et de l’Égypte. La femme elle-même est une contrefaçon de la véritable Église de Dieu. Le veau d’or qu’Aaron consacra aux dieux de l’Égypte préfigurait la grande prostituée d’Apocalypse dix-sept, qui est Babylone (or), montée sur une bête (Égypte) et une Église contrefaite (veau).
At the same time Aaron built an altar, which, as just defined, represents Christ, the true altar. He then instituted a counterfeit system of worship, for he proclaimed a feast to the Lord on the following day. Aaron’s golden calf was an image “of” and “to” the beast, and it was set up “before” a counterfeit Christ, and a day was set aside to celebrate his false system of worship.
Kwakanye, Aroni yubatse urutambiro, nk’uko bimaze gusobanurwa, rugereranya Kristo, urutambiro nyakuri. Hanyuma ashyiraho uburyo bw’impimbano bwo kuramya, kuko yatangaje umunsi mukuru w’Uwiteka ku munsi wakurikiyeho. Inyana ya zahabu ya Aroni yari ishusho “y’” kandi “ihabwa” inyamaswa, kandi yashyizweho “imbere ya” Kristo w’impimbano, kandi hatandukanijwe umunsi wo kwizihiza iyo gahunda ye y’ibinyoma yo kuramya.
The United States is the power that sets up an image to the beast and then forces the world to follow its example. The United States has power to force that system of worship upon the world, and it does so in sight of the beast “before” it.
United States ni nguvu inayosimamisha sanamu kwa yule mnyama, kisha huilazimisha dunia kuifuata mfano wake. United States ina uwezo wa kuilazimisha dunia mfumo huo wa ibada, nayo hufanya hivyo mbele ya yule mnyama, “mbele” yake.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. Revelation 13:11, 12.
我又看见另有一个兽从地中上来；它有两角如同羊羔，说话好像龙。它在头一个兽面前，施行头一个兽所有的权柄，并且叫地和住在地上的人敬拜那受过致命伤而医好的头一个兽。启示录 13:11, 12.
The man of sin, who is the papacy, is the sea beast of Revelation thirteen. When the United States speaks as a dragon, at the soon-coming Sunday law, it then begins to force the world to set up an image to the beast “before” it. The beast before the United States (the earth beast), is the papacy (the sea beast). The papacy is a counterfeit Christ, and Aaron had set up his golden image, before a counterfeit Christ, for Christ is the true altar. Aaron then instituted a false system of worship as represented by the proclamation of the feast day that was to take place on the next day. The United States also forces a false system of worship, and it is also associated with a counterfeit day of worship.
Omuntu ow’ekibi, ye bwa paapa, kye kisolo eky’omu nnyanja eky’omu Okubikkulirwa essuula ey’ekkumi n’essatu. Amerika bw’eryogera ng’oggwanga, mu mateeka g’Olwokutaano agali kumpi okujja, olwo n’etanula okuwaliriza ensi okuteekawo ekifaananyi eri ekisolo “mu maaso” gaakyo. Ekisolo ekiri mu maaso ga Amerika (ekisolo eky’ensi), bwe bwa paapa (ekisolo eky’omu nnyanja). Bwa paapa Kristo ow’obulimba, era Alooni yali amaze okuteekawo ekifaananyi kye ekya zzaabu mu maaso ga Kristo ow’obulimba, kubanga Kristo ye kyoto eky’amazima. Awo Alooni n’assaawo enkola ey’obulimba ey’okusinza, nga bwe kiragibwa mu kulangirira olunaku olw’embaga olwali lugenda okubeerawo ku lunaku olwaddirira. Amerika nayo ewaliriza enkola ey’obulimba ey’okusinza, era nayo ekwatagana n’olunaku olw’obulimba olw’okusinza.
When Moses descended the mount, the controversy was between the true and the false image of jealousy—the image of Christ or the image of Satan. The counterfeit consisted of a counterfeit Christ (the altar), a counterfeit experience (Laodicean), a counterfeit day of worship (“tomorrow is a feast of the Lord”). The rebellion of the golden calf represents the rebellion of the soon-coming Sunday law, but it also represents the rebellion of Laodicean Adventism in 1863.
Kui Mooses mäelt alla tuli, käis võitlus tõelise ja vale armukadeduse kuju vahel — Kristuse kuju või Saatana kuju vahel. Võltsing koosnes võlts-Kristusest (altar), võltskogemusest (Laodikeia) ja võltspäevast jumalateenistuseks („homme on Issanda püha”). Kuldvasika mäss kujutab peatselt saabuvat pühapäevaseaduse mässu, kuid see kujutab ka laodikeialiku adventismi mässu aastal 1863.
In 1863, a counterfeit table was introduced to cover up the jewels of Miller’s dream as represented upon Habakkuk’s two tables. Those two tables had been typified by the two tables Moses received on the mount. In 1863, a legal connection was made with the government of the United States, thus ending the Millerite movement and legally registering the Laodicean movement as the Seventh-day Adventist church. That relationship was represented by Aaron’s image to the beast, which prophetically is defined as the combination of Church and State, thus typifying the Millerites establishing a Church-State relationship in 1863, and also typifying the United States at the soon-coming Sunday law.
Wɔ afe 1863 mu no, wɔde ɔpon a wɔyɛɛ no atoro bae sɛ wɔde bɛkata nneɛma a ɛsom bo a ɛwɔ Miller dae no so, sɛnea na wɔda no adi wɔ Habakkuk apon abien no so no.

Aaron’s naked dancing fools, representing the counterfeit experience of Laodicea, is just as the Millerite movement had become in 1856. The spiritual experience represented by Aaron’s dancing fools was contrasted with the experience of Moses, who was manifesting the jealousy of God’s character towards idolatry. A “dance” in prophecy is a symbol of deception, and Aaron’s dancing fools, also represented the deception that is brought about by the United States as it forces the world to “dance” to Nebuchadnezzar’s band, while the whore of Tyre sings her songs.

In 1863, the Laodicean Millerite movement transitioned to the legally registered Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church. As identified in previous articles, in 1863, Jericho was rebuilt, for Jericho is a symbol of the affluence of Laodicea and serves as a counterfeit of the city of Jerusalem. In 1863, the introduction of a counterfeit prophetic chart represented a repetition of the history of Aaron, the golden calf and the dancing fools. The history of the Red Sea deliverance has been repeatedly employed by Sister White to illustrate the history of early Adventism, and this application aligns perfectly with the history of Moses and Aaron in the controversy over the image of jealousy.
Yesu ha 1863, mottetoo Laodikiyaa Millerite gujji seeraan galmaa’eetti gara waldaa Adventistii guyyaa torbaffaa Laodikiyaa ce’e. Akkuma barruulee duraanii keessatti ibsameetti, bara 1863 keessatti Eriikoo deebifamee ijaarame; Eriikoon badhaadhummaa Laodikiyaa kan agarsiisu ta’ee, magaalaa Yerusaalem fakkeessitee sobaa ta’ees tajaajila. Bara 1863 keessatti, seensifamuun taateewwan raajii sobaa tokko seenaa Aaron, jabbii warqee fi gowwoota sirban sana irra deebi’amee mul’ise. Seenaa bilisaan ba’uu Galaana Diimaa obboleettii White yeroo hedduu seenaa Adventizimii jalqabaa ibsuuf itti fayyadamtetti; hojii irra oolmaan kunis walitti bu’iinsa fakkii hinaaffaa irratti seenaa Musee fi Aaron wajjin guutummaatti walsima.
In 1863, the first generation of Laodicean Adventism began as an image of jealousy was placed in the gate (church), which was before the altar (Christ). That first generation then “entered” into an escalating history of abominations.
El año 1863, la primera generación del adventismo laodicense comenzó cuando una imagen de celos fue colocada en la puerta (iglesia), que estaba delante del altar (Cristo). Esa primera generación entonces “entró” en una historia creciente de abominaciones.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. Ezekiel 8:5.
At siya’y nagsabi sa akin, Anak ng tao, itaas mo ngayon ang iyong mga mata sa dakong hilagaan. Kaya itinaas ko ang aking mga mata sa dakong hilagaan, at narito, sa dakong hilaga sa may pintuang-daan ng dambana, ang larawang ito ng paninibugho sa pasukan. Ezekiel 8:5.
We will continue these considerations in the next article.

“What is our condition in this fearful and solemn time? Alas, what pride is prevailing in the church, what hypocrisy, what deception, what love of dress, frivolity, and amusement, what desire for the supremacy! All these sins have clouded the mind, so that eternal things have not been discerned. Shall we not search the Scriptures, that we may know where we are in this world’s history? Shall we not become intelligent in regard to the work that is being accomplished for us at this time, and the position that we as sinners should occupy while this work of atonement is going forward? If we have any regard for our souls’ salvation, we must make a decided change. We must seek the Lord with true penitence; we must with deep contrition of soul confess our sins, that they may be blotted out.
« Quelle est notre condition en ce temps redoutable et solennel ? Hélas, quel orgueil prévaut dans l’Église, quelle hypocrisie, quelle tromperie, quel amour du vêtement, de la frivolité et des amusements, quel désir de suprématie ! Tous ces péchés ont obscurci l’esprit, de sorte que les réalités éternelles n’ont pas été discernées. Ne sonderons-nous pas les Écritures, afin de savoir où nous en sommes dans l’histoire de ce monde ? Ne deviendrons-nous pas intelligents à l’égard de l’œuvre qui s’accomplit pour nous en ce temps, et de la position que nous, pécheurs, devrions occuper pendant que cette œuvre d’expiation se poursuit ? Si nous avons quelque souci du salut de nos âmes, nous devons opérer un changement décisif. Nous devons chercher le Seigneur avec une véritable repentance ; nous devons, dans une profonde contrition d’âme, confesser nos péchés, afin qu’ils soient effacés. »
“We must no longer remain upon the enchanted ground. We are fast approaching the close of our probation. Let every soul inquire, How do I stand before God? We know not how soon our names may be taken into the lips of Christ, and our cases be finally decided. What, oh, what will these decisions be! Shall we be counted with the righteous, or shall we be numbered with the wicked?
“हमें अब और उस मोहित भूमि पर नहीं ठहरे रहना चाहिए। हम अपनी परीक्षाकाल की समाप्ति के बहुत निकट पहुँच रहे हैं। प्रत्येक प्राणी यह पूछे, मैं परमेश्वर के सामने किस दशा में खड़ा हूँ? हम नहीं जानते कि कितनी शीघ्र हमारे नाम मसीह के होंठों पर आएँगे, और हमारे मामलों का अंतिम निर्णय कर दिया जाएगा। ओह, ओह, वे निर्णय क्या होंगे! क्या हम धर्मियों के साथ गिने जाएँगे, अथवा क्या हम दुष्टों में संख्या किए जाएँगे?”
“Let the church arise, and repent of her backslidings before God. Let the watchmen awake, and give the trumpet a certain sound. It is a definite warning that we have to proclaim. God commands His servants, ‘Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins’ (Isaiah 58:1). The attention of the people must be gained; unless this can be done, all effort is useless; though an angel from heaven should come down and speak to them, his words would do no more good than if he were speaking into the cold ear of death.
“让教会兴起，并在上帝面前为她的倒退悔改。让守望的人警醒，吹出明确的号声。我们所必须宣告的，乃是一个确定的警告。上帝吩咐祂的仆人说：‘你要大声喊叫，不可止息；扬起声来，好像吹角，向我百姓说明他们的过犯，向雅各家说明他们的罪恶’（以赛亚书 58:1）。必须引起百姓的注意；若不能做到这一点，一切努力都是徒然；即使有一位天使从天降下对他们说话，他的话也不会比对着死亡冰冷的耳朵讲话更有益处。”
“The church must arouse to action. The Spirit of God can never come in until she prepares the way. There should be earnest searching of heart. There should be united, persevering prayer, and through faith a claiming of the promises of God. There should be, not a clothing of the body with sackcloth, as in ancient times, but a deep humiliation of soul. We have not the first reason for self-congratulation and self-exaltation. We should humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God. He will appear to comfort and bless the true seekers.” Selected Messages, book 1, 125, 126.
“교회는 일어나 행동해야 한다. 하나님의 영께서는 교회가 길을 예비하기까지 결코 임하실 수 없다. 진지한 마음의 살핌이 있어야 한다. 연합되고 끈기 있는 기도가 있어야 하며, 믿음으로 하나님의 약속을 붙들어야 한다. 옛 시대처럼 몸에 굵은 베옷을 입는 것이 아니라, 영혼의 깊은 겸비가 있어야 한다. 우리에게는 자기 축하와 자기 높임을 할 하등의 이유도 없다. 우리는 하나님의 능하신 손 아래에서 자신을 낮추어야 한다. 그리하면 그분께서 참된 구도자들을 위로하시고 복 주시기 위해 나타나실 것이다.” Selected Messages, book 1, 125, 126.
