In 1856 the light of the “seven times” was unsealed and by 1863 that light was rejected. The prophet from Judah brought the light to wicked king Jeroboam, and Jeroboam rejected the light. Isaiah brought the same light to wicked king Ahaz, and he also rejected the light. For refusing the light associated with the pool of Shiloah, the kingdoms of both Jeroboam (the northern) and Ahaz (the southern) were taken into slavery by a king from the north in 723 BC, and 677 BC respectively.
En 1856, la lumière des « sept temps » fut descellée, et en 1863 cette lumière fut rejetée. Le prophète venu de Juda apporta cette lumière au roi impie Jéroboam, et Jéroboam rejeta la lumière. Ésaïe apporta la même lumière au roi impie Achaz, et lui aussi la rejeta. Pour avoir refusé la lumière associée au réservoir de Siloé, les royaumes tant de Jéroboam (celui du nord) que d’Achaz (celui du sud) furent emmenés en captivité par un roi venant du nord, respectivement en 723 av. J.-C. et en 677 av. J.-C.
Moses, in Aaron’s rebellion; Isaiah with Ahaz and Jeremiah with other kings, represented the faithful of Millerite history who were all representing the messengers of light in the last-day rebellion. The “first” last-day crisis of 1863, and the “last” last-day crisis of the “great earthquake” of Revelation chapter eleven (the soon-coming Sunday law), are represented by all these prophetic lines. The prophet from Judah represents a prophet that backslid from his responsibility, and ends up buried in the same grave as apostate Protestantism. His death and his burial were in response to his choosing to eat and drink the diet of the lying prophet of Bethel.
Mose, in Aarons Auflehnung, Jesaja bei Ahas und Jeremia bei anderen Königen, stellten die Treuen der milleritischen Geschichte dar, die allesamt die Boten des Lichts in der Rebellion der letzten Tage repräsentierten. Die „erste“ Endzeitkrise von 1863 und die „letzte“ Endzeitkrise des „großen Erdbebens“ aus Offenbarung Kapitel elf (das bald kommende Sonntagsgesetz) werden durch all diese prophetischen Linien dargestellt. Der Prophet aus Juda stellt einen Propheten dar, der von seiner Verantwortung abfiel und schließlich in demselben Grab wie der abgefallene Protestantismus bestattet wurde. Sein Tod und seine Bestattung waren die Folge seiner Entscheidung, die Speise und den Trank der lügnerischen Propheten von Bethel zu sich zu nehmen.
The judgment of being overcome by the papacy (the king of Assyria) at the Sunday law, that was typified by the scattering of the northern and southern kingdoms of Jeroboam and Ahaz, aligns with the fate of the Judean prophet, for he died between a “lion” and an “ass.” The “lion” is the symbol of Babylon which in the last days is the papacy.
Le jugement consistant à être vaincu par la papauté (le roi d’Assyrie) lors de la loi dominicale, lequel fut préfiguré par la dispersion des royaumes du Nord et du Sud sous Jéroboam et Achaz, correspond au sort du prophète de Juda, car il mourut entre un « lion » et un « âne ». Le « lion » est le symbole de Babylone, qui, dans les derniers jours, est la papauté.
And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase. And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt. And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the Lord: therefore the Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake unto him. And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him. And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass. And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him. And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother! And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones: For the saying which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass. 1 Kings 13:11–32.

The Judean prophet died between two symbols. The lion is a symbol of Babylon, and modern Babylon in the last days is the King of the North, who comes to his end with none to help in Daniel chapter eleven, verse forty-five. The mark of his authority is the worship of the sun, which is the fourth abomination, and where the fourth generation of Laodicean Adventism is portrayed as bowing toward the sun in Ezekiel chapter eight. In Miller’s dream he was shown that not only did the jewels get scattered and covered up, but also that the casket itself, which represented the Bible, was also torn apart.
先知死在两个表号之间。狮子是巴比伦的表号，而末后的现代巴比伦乃是北方王；照但以理书十一章四十五节所言，他到了结局，必无人帮助他。他权柄的记号乃是敬拜太阳，这就是第四件可憎之事；在以西结书第八章中，老底嘉式复临信仰的第四代被描绘为面向太阳下拜。在米勒的梦中，向他显明，不但那些宝石被散落并被遮盖起来，而且那代表《圣经》的匣子本身也被撕裂了。
In the third generation of Adventism the work of introducing the use of the so-called modern translations of the Bible was promoted by the leadership of Adventism. Those so called modern translations were derived from a corrupted set of manuscripts that are promoted by the theologians of the man of sin, and apostate Protestantism. Miller’s casket was the King James Version that was translated from the uncorrupted manuscripts.
במהלך הדור השלישי של האדוונטיזם קידמה הנהגת האדוונטיזם את המלאכה של הנהגת השימוש במה שמכונה תרגומי המקרא המודרניים. אותם תרגומים מודרניים כביכול נבעו ממערכת כתבי־יד מושחתת, המקודמת בידי התיאולוגים של איש החטא ושל הפרוטסטנטיות הכופרת. ארונו של מילר היה נוסח המלך ג׳יימס, שתורגם מתוך כתבי־היד הבלתי־מושחתים.
By the fourth generation of Laodicean Adventism, the church had joined the World Council of Churches, a confederacy of the Roman church and her daughters. Adventism argued for years, for the benefit of their sleeping flock, that they were simply “observers,” at the World Council of Churches, until the bylaws of the evil confederacy revealed that the status of an “observer,” represents a full voting member!
ਭਵਿੱਖਬਾਣੀ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਲਾਓਦੀਕੀਆਈ ਐਡਵੇਂਟਵਾਦ ਦੀ ਚੌਥੀ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀ ਤੱਕ ਪਹੁੰਚਦੇ-ਪਹੁੰਚਦੇ, ਕਲੀਸਿਆ ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਕਲੀਸਿਆ ਪਰਿਸ਼ਦ ਨਾਲ ਜੁੜ ਚੁੱਕੀ ਸੀ, ਜੋ ਰੋਮਨ ਕਲੀਸਿਆ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਧੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਇੱਕ ਸੰਘ-ਬੰਧੀ ਹੈ। ਐਡਵੇਂਟਵਾਦ ਨੇ ਸਾਲਾਂ ਤੱਕ, ਆਪਣੇ ਸੁੱਤੇ ਹੋਏ ਝੁੰਡ ਦੇ ਲਾਭ ਲਈ, ਇਹ ਦਲੀਲ ਕੀਤੀ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਕਲੀਸਿਆ ਪਰਿਸ਼ਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੇਵਲ “observer” ਹੀ ਹਨ, ਜਦ ਤੱਕ ਉਸ ਦੁਸਟ ਸੰਘ-ਬੰਧੀ ਦੇ ਉਪ-ਨਿਯਮਾਂ ਨੇ ਇਹ ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਨਾ ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਕਿ “observer” ਦਾ ਦਰਜਾ ਅਸਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੂਰੇ ਵੋਟ ਦੇ ਅਧਿਕਾਰ ਵਾਲੇ ਮੈਂਬਰ ਦਾ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਕ ਹੈ!
In their fourth generation they twice awarded the “man of sin” a gold medal. At least one of the medals was imprinted with the Catholic understanding of the Second Coming of Christ, portraying Jesus placing His foot upon the earth at His return, and it included a Catholic sun-halo behind Christ, and the Catholic abridgment of the fourth commandment, which simply stated, “remember the Sabbath.” In a court proceeding (which is a legal pronouncement), the President of the General Conference gave testimony where he identified that the Seventh-day Adventist church used to believe the papacy was the antichrist, but that his church had long ago assigned that belief “to the historical trash heap.”
خلال جيلهم الرابع، منحوا «رجل الخطية» ميدالية ذهبية مرتين. وكانت واحدة من الميداليتين على الأقل منقوشًا عليها الفهم الكاثوليكي للمجيء الثاني للمسيح، إذ صوّرت يسوع واضعًا قدمه على الأرض عند رجوعه، كما اشتملت على الهالة الشمسية الكاثوليكية خلف المسيح، وعلى الصياغة الكاثوليكية المختصرة للوصية الرابعة، التي قالت ببساطة: «اذكر السبت». وفي إجراء قضائي (وهو تصريح قانوني)، أدلى رئيس المؤتمر العام بشهادة عرّف فيها بأن كنيسة السبتيين الأدڤنتست كانت تؤمن في السابق بأن البابوية هي ضدّ المسيح، غير أن كنيسته كانت قد ألقت ذلك الاعتقاد منذ زمن بعيد «في مزبلة التاريخ».
The fourth abomination (generation) is where the twenty-five leaders of the church of Jerusalem bow to the sun. The progressive abominations began with the image of jealousy that was set up at the entry, marking the beginning. The prophet from Judah ends up buried with apostate Protestantism, and the lion (Babylon) slays him, for he reverted to the methodology of apostate Protestantism, and is therefore unable to recognize that it is Rome that establishes the vision, and where there is no vision established by the symbol of the man of sin, you ultimately end up on the side of the man of sin.
L’abomination (génération) quatrième est celle où les vingt-cinq conducteurs de l’Église de Jérusalem se prosternent devant le soleil. Les abominations progressives ont commencé avec l’image de la jalousie qui fut dressée à l’entrée, marquant le commencement. Le prophète de Juda finit enseveli avec le protestantisme apostat, et le lion (Babylone) le tue, car il est revenu à la méthodologie du protestantisme apostat et se trouve dès lors incapable de reconnaître que c’est Rome qui établit la vision; et là où il n’y a pas de vision établie par le symbole de l’homme de péché, on finit inévitablement du côté de l’homme de péché.
“Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist.” Kress Collection, 105.
« Ceux qui se troublent dans leur compréhension de la parole, et qui ne discernent pas la signification de l’antichrist, se placeront assurément du côté de l’antichrist. » Kress Collection, 105.
The Judean prophet was buried with the lying prophet of Bethel, who identified him as his “brother,” and he was found dead between two symbols. The “lion” represented his failure to understand the antichrist, and the “ass” is a symbol of Islam. Laodicean Adventism has already demonstrated through its silence concerning September 11, 2001, that it does not recognize that the subject of Islam of the third Woe is the Midnight Cry, latter rain message. Failure to recognize the message of the latter rain, is death! The latter rain began on September 11, 2001 when the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descended, when the great buildings of New York City were thrown down. The “rain” is a message, and the message must be recognized to receive it.
Пријудејскиот пророк беше погребан со лажливиот пророк од Ветил, кој го нарече свој „брат“, и беше најден мртов меѓу два симбола. „Лавот“ го претставуваше неговиот неуспех да го разбере антихристот, а „магарето“ е симбол на исламот. Лаодикискиот адвентизам веќе покажа, преку своето молчење во врска со 11 септември 2001 година, дека не препознава оти темата за исламот на третото тешко е полноќниот вик, пораката на доцниот дожд. Неуспехот да се препознае пораката на доцниот дожд е смрт! Доцниот дожд започна на 11 септември 2001 година, кога се спушти моќниот ангел од Откровение осумнаесет, кога беа урнати големите згради на Њујорк. „Дождот“ е порака, и пораката мора да се препознае за да се прими.
“We must not wait for the latter rain. It is coming upon all who will recognize and appropriate the dew and showers of grace that fall upon us. When we gather up the fragments of light, when we appreciate the sure mercies of God, who loves to have us trust Him, then every promise will be fulfilled. [Isaiah 61:11 quoted.] The whole earth is to be filled with the glory of God.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.
“Fodkan wali henyo kutini mvula ya kunyuma. Ileyisa kuli bonse abakaishiba no kulangulukila ikumbi ne mvula sha chisomo ishileponena pali ifwe. Ilyo twasangulula ututuntulu twa lubuto, ilyo twatotela uluse lwakwa Lesa ulwa cine, uwatemwa ukuti tumutetekele, elyo ubulayo bonse bukafikilishiwa. [Esaya 61:11 quoted.] Icalo conse cikaisushiwa no bukata bwakwa Lesa.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.
The “whole earth” knows what happened on September 11, 2001, but in order to receive the message that begins there and ultimately lightens the whole earth with God’s glory, the message must be recognized. The word “recognize,” means “to recollect or recover the knowledge of, either with an avowal of that knowledge or not. We recognize a person at a distance, when we recollect that we have seen him before, or that we have formerly known him. We recognize his features or his voice.” Webster’s 1828 Dictionary.
“Ny tany rehetra” dia mahalala izay nitranga tamin’ny 11 Septambra 2001, kanefa mba handraisana ny hafatra izay manomboka eo ary amin’ny farany manazava ny tany rehetra amin’ny voninahitr’Andriamanitra, dia tsy maintsy ekena ho fantatra izany hafatra izany. Ny teny hoe “mahafantatra indray” dia midika hoe “mampahatsiaro na mamerina ny fahalalana momba ny zavatra iray, na miaraka amin’ny fanekena izany fahalalana izany na tsia. Mahafantatra olona iray eny lavitra eny isika, rehefa tsaroantsika fa efa hitantsika izy taloha, na efa fantatsika fahiny izy. Mahafantatra ny endriny na ny feony isika.” Webster’s 1828 Dictionary.
The only way that a Laodicean Adventist can recognize the latter rain message that arrived on September 11, 2001, is if they recognize that they have seen the same manifestation of divine power in the past. On August 11, 1840 the mighty angel of Revelation ten descended, when the prophecy of the second Woe of Islam was fulfilled. That history was perfectly repeated when on September 11, 2001 the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descended when the prophecy of the third Woe of Islam was fulfilled, and the failure to recognize Islam of the third Woe, is to be carried by the wild Arabian ass to the death that is brought about by the lion of modern Babylon.

The drunkards of Ephraim, who cannot read the book that is sealed, cannot see the repetition of Millerite history, for that recognition is based upon the latter rain methodology of “line upon line.” The concept that the manifestation of the power of God in Millerite history is repeated in the last days cannot be sustained by the methodology of apostate Protestantism and Catholicism.
Efraimin juopuneet, jotka eivät kykene lukemaan sinetöityä kirjaa, eivät voi nähdä milleriläisen historian toistumista, sillä tuo tunnistaminen perustuu myöhäissateen menetelmään, “rivi rivin päälle”. Käsitystä siitä, että Jumalan voiman ilmeneminen milleriläisessä historiassa toistuu viimeisinä päivinä, ei voida ylläpitää luopuneen protestantismin ja katolilaisuuden menetelmäopilla.
“The angel who unites in the proclamation of the third angel’s message is to lighten the whole earth with his glory. A work of world-wide extent and unwonted power is here foretold. The advent movement of 1840–44 was a glorious manifestation of the power of God; the first angel’s message was carried to every missionary station in the world, and in some countries there was the greatest religious interest which has been witnessed in any land since the Reformation of the sixteenth century; but these are to be exceeded by the mighty movement under the last warning of the third angel.” The Great Controversy, 611.
「第三の天使の使命の宣言においてこれと結合する天使は、その栄光をもって全地を照らすのである。ここには、世界的な広がりと未曾有の力を備えた働きが予告されている。1840年から1844年の再臨運動は、神の力の輝かしい現れであった。第一の天使の使命は世界のあらゆる宣教地にまで携えられ、また幾つかの国々においては、十六世紀の宗教改革以来、いかなる地においても見られたことのないほどの偉大な宗教的関心が起こった。しかし、これらもなお、第三の天使の最後の警告のもとに起こる力強い運動によって凌駕されるのである。」『各時代の大争闘』611頁。
The blind leaders of modern Israel are forced by their methodology to reject the truth that there will be a repetition of the manifestation of the power of God in the last days, as was in former years.
Los dirigentes ciegos del Israel moderno se ven obligados, por su metodología, a rechazar la verdad de que habrá una repetición de la manifestación del poder de Dios en los postreros días, como la hubo en tiempos pasados.
“Here we see that the church—the Lord’s sanctuary—was the first to feel the stroke of the wrath of God. The ancient men, those to whom God had given great light and who had stood as guardians of the spiritual interests of the people, had betrayed their trust. They had taken the position that we need not look for miracles and the marked manifestation of God’s power as in former days. Times have changed. These words strengthen their unbelief, and they say: The Lord will not do good, neither will He do evil. He is too merciful to visit His people in judgment. Thus ‘Peace and safety’ is the cry from men who will never again lift up their voice like a trumpet to show God’s people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins. These dumb dogs that would not bark are the ones who feel the just vengeance of an offended God. Men, maidens, and little children all perish together.” Testimonies, volume 5, 211.
“Ici nous voyons que l’Église — le sanctuaire du Seigneur — fut la première à sentir le coup de la colère de Dieu. Les anciens, ceux à qui Dieu avait donné une grande lumière et qui s’étaient tenus comme gardiens des intérêts spirituels du peuple, avaient trahi leur dépôt sacré. Ils avaient adopté la position selon laquelle nous n’avons pas à nous attendre à des miracles ni à la manifestation marquée de la puissance de Dieu comme aux jours passés. Les temps ont changé. Ces paroles affermissent leur incrédulité, et ils disent : Le Seigneur ne fera ni bien ni mal. Il est trop miséricordieux pour visiter son peuple par des jugements. Ainsi, “Paix et sûreté” est le cri d’hommes qui ne feront plus jamais retentir leur voix comme une trompette pour montrer au peuple de Dieu ses transgressions et à la maison de Jacob ses péchés. Ces chiens muets qui n’aboyaient pas sont ceux-là mêmes qui ressentent la juste vengeance d’un Dieu offensé. Hommes, jeunes filles et petits enfants périssent tous ensemble.” Témoignages, volume 5, 211.
The Laodicean blindness of the learned men who rule the unlearned of Jerusalem are unable to recognize the latter rain, for not only do they employ a corrupted biblical methodology, but the conclusions their false reasoning puts them in a position where they will deny any future manifestation of the power of God, as in former ages. Yet Malachi three identifies that when the Messenger of the Covenant purifies the sons of Levi, then the offering will be as in days of old.

“The True Witness declares, ‘I know thy works.’ ‘Repent, and do the first works.’ This is the true test, the evidence that the Spirit of God is working in the heart to imbue you with his love. ‘I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.’ The church is like the unproductive tree which, receiving the dew and rain and sunshine, should have produced an abundance of fruit, but on which the divine search discovers nothing but leaves. Solemn thought for our churches! solemn, indeed, for every individual! Marvelous is the patience and forbearance of God; but ‘except thou repent,’ it will be exhausted; the churches, our institutions, will go from weakness to weakness, from cold formality to deadness, while they are saying, ‘I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing.’ The True Witness says, ‘And knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.’ Will they ever see clearly their condition?
“શ્રેષ્ઠ સાક્ષી જાહેર કરે છે, ‘હું તારાં કાર્યો જાણું છું.’ ‘પશ્ચાત્તાપ કર, અને પહેલાંનાં કાર્યો કર.’ આ જ સાચી કસોટી છે, આ જ તેનો પુરાવો છે કે દેવનો આત્મા તારા હૃદયમાં કાર્ય કરી રહ્યો છે જેથી તે તને પોતાના પ્રેમથી પરિપૂર્ણ કરે. ‘હું તારી પાસે જલદી આવીશ, અને જો તું પશ્ચાત્તાપ ન કરે, તો હું તારી દીવટીને તેની જગ્યાથી દૂર કરી દઈશ.’ ચર્ચ એ નિષ્ફળ વૃક્ષ જેવી છે, જેને શબનમ, વરસાદ અને સૂર્યપ્રકાશ મળ્યા હોવા છતાં ફળની સમૃદ્ધ ઉપજ આપવી જોઈએ હતી, પરંતુ જેના પર દૈવી શોધને પાંદડાં સિવાય કશું જ મળતું નથી. અમારી ચર્ચો માટે કેવો ગંભીર વિચાર! હા, દરેક વ્યક્તિ માટે ખરેખર ગંભીર! દેવની ધીરજ અને સહનશીલતા અદ્ભુત છે; પરંતુ ‘જો તું પશ્ચાત્તાપ ન કરે,’ તો તેનો અંત આવશે; ચર્ચો, અમારી સંસ્થાઓ, દુર્બળતાથી વધુ દુર્બળતામાં, શીતળ ઔપચારિકતાથી આત્મિક જડતામાં ઉતરી જશે, અને તે દરમિયાન તેઓ કહી રહ્યા હશે, ‘હું ધનવાન છું, અને સંપત્તિથી સમૃદ્ધ થયો છું, અને મને કોઈ વસ્તુની જરૂર નથી.’ શ્રેષ્ઠ સાક્ષી કહે છે, ‘અને તું જાણતો નથી કે તું દુર્ભાગી, દયનીય, ગરીબ, અંધ અને નિર્વસ્ત્ર છે.’ શું તેઓ કદી પોતાની સ્થિતિને સ્પષ્ટ રીતે જોઈ શકશે?”
“There is to be in the churches a wonderful manifestation of the power of God, but it will not move upon those who have not humbled themselves before the Lord, and opened the door of the heart by confession and repentance. In the manifestation of that power which lightens the earth with the glory of God, they will see only something which in their blindness they think dangerous, something which will arouse their fears, and they will brace themselves to resist it. Because the Lord does not work according to their ideas and expectations, they will oppose the work. ‘Why,’ they say, ‘should not we know the Spirit of God, when we have been in the work so many years?’—Because they did not respond to the warnings, the entreaties of the messages of God, but persistently said, ‘I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing.’ Talent, long experience, will not make men channels of light, unless they place themselves under the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, and are called, and chosen, and prepared by the endowment of the Holy Spirit. When men who handle sacred things will humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, the Lord will lift them up. He will make them men of discernment—men rich in the grace of his Spirit. Their strong, selfish traits of character, their stubbornness, will be seen in the light shining from the Light of the world. ‘I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.’ If you seek the Lord with all your heart, he will be found of you.” Review and Herald, December 23, 1890.
«در کلیساها تجلّی شگفتانگیزی از قدرت خدا خواهد بود، امّا بر کسانی اثر نخواهد گذاشت که خود را در حضور خداوند فروتن نساختهاند و درِ دل را بهوسیلهٔ اعتراف و توبه نگشودهاند. در ظهور آن قدرتی که زمین را با جلال خدا روشن میسازد، آنان فقط چیزی را خواهند دید که در کوریِ خود آن را خطرناک میپندارند، چیزی که ترسهای ایشان را برخواهد انگیخت، و خود را برای مقاومت در برابر آن آماده خواهند ساخت. چون خداوند مطابق تصوّرات و انتظارات ایشان عمل نمیکند، با این کار مخالفت خواهند ورزید. آنان میگویند: «چرا ما روح خدا را نشناسیم، در حالی که این همه سال در این کار بودهایم؟»—زیرا به هشدارها و استدعای پیامهای خدا پاسخ ندادند، بلکه پیوسته گفتند: «دولتمندم و ثروت اندوختهام و به هیچ چیز محتاج نیستم.» استعداد و تجربهٔ طولانی، انسانها را مجرای نور نخواهد ساخت، مگر آنکه خویشتن را زیر پرتوهای درخشانِ آفتابِ عدالت قرار دهند و بهواسطهٔ عطای روحالقدس خوانده و برگزیده و مهیا شوند. هنگامی که مردانی که با امور مقدّس سر و کار دارند، خود را زیر دست نیرومند خدا فروتن سازند، خداوند آنان را سرافراز خواهد کرد. او ایشان را مردانی صاحب تمییز خواهد ساخت—مردانی غنی در فیض روح او. خصال نیرومند و خودخواهانهٔ ایشان، سرسختی آنان، در نوری که از نورِ جهان میتابد آشکار خواهد شد. «بهزودی نزد تو خواهم آمد و اگر توبه نکنی، چراغدانت را از جای خود برخواهم داشت.» اگر خداوند را با تمامی دل خود بطلبید، او خود را به شما خواهد یافت.» Review and Herald, December 23, 1890.
The Judean prophet’s death is represented by both the “lion” of modern Babylon, which is the prophetic symbol that establishes the vision of prophetic history, and also by the “ass.” The first mention of Islam in the Scriptures is when Ishmael is introduced as a “wild man.”
La mort du prophète judéen est représentée à la fois par le « lion » de la Babylone moderne, qui est le symbole prophétique établissant la vision de l’histoire prophétique, et aussi par l’« âne ». La première mention de l’islam dans les Écritures apparaît lorsque Ismaël est présenté comme un « homme sauvage ».
And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16:12.
“Na ye akakuwa mtu wa porini; mkono wake utakuwa juu ya kila mtu, na mkono wa kila mtu juu yake; naye atakaa mbele ya nduguze wote.” Mwanzo 16:12.
The rule of first mention in the Scriptures identifies that all the characteristics of the symbol be contained therein, for God’s Word is a seed, and a seed possesses all the DNA necessary to bring to fruition the entire plant. The word translated as “wild man,” is the word for the “wild Arabian ass.” The “ass” in the Scriptures of truth is one of the symbols of Islam.
قاعدة الذكر الأول في الأسفار المقدسة تُبيِّن أن جميع خصائص الرمز تكون متضمَّنة فيه، لأن كلمة الله هي بذرة، والبذرة تشتمل على كل الحمض الوراثي اللازم لإثمار النبات كله. والكلمة المترجمة «إنسانًا وحشيًّا» هي الكلمة الدالة على «حمار عربيّ بريّ». و«الحمار» في أسفار الحق هو أحد رموز الإسلام.
The message of Ezekiel in chapter thirty-seven that brings the dead bones to life where they stand up as a mighty army, is the message of Islam of the third Woe, and that message is the message of the Midnight Cry of the last days. Sister White directly teaches that Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem represented the message of the Midnight Cry.
Ezequieli sura ya thelathini na saba inayorejesha mifupa iliyokufa uzimani, ambapo inasimama na kuwa jeshi kubwa mno, ndiyo ujumbe wa Uislamu wa Ole ya tatu, na ujumbe huo ndio ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa manane cha siku za mwisho. Dada White anafundisha moja kwa moja kwamba kuingia kwa ushindi kwa Kristo ndani ya Yerusalemu kulikuwa ni mfano wa ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa manane.
“The midnight cry was not so much carried by argument, though the Scripture proof was clear and conclusive. There went with it an impelling power that moved the soul. There was no doubt, no questioning. Upon the occasion of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the people who were assembled from all parts of the land to keep the feast, flocked to the Mount of Olives, and as they joined the throng that were escorting Jesus, they caught the inspiration of the hour, and helped to swell the shout, ‘Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!’ [Matthew 21:9.] In like manner did unbelievers who flocked to the Adventist meetings—some from curiosity, some merely to ridicule—feel the convincing power attending the message, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!’” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 250.
「நள்ளிரவுக் கூக்குரல் என்பது, வேதாகமச் சான்று தெளிவாகவும் முடிவுறுதியானதாகவும் இருந்தபோதிலும், அவ்வளவாக வாதத்தின் மூலம் எடுத்துச் செல்லப்பட்டதல்ல. அதனுடன் ஆத்துமாவை உந்திச் செலுத்தும் ஒரு வல்லமை இணைந்திருந்தது. அங்கே ஐயமோ கேள்வியோ எதுவும் இருக்கவில்லை. கிறிஸ்து எருசலேமுக்குள் வெற்றிகரமாகப் பிரவேசித்த சமயத்தில், பண்டிகையைக் கைக்கொள்ள தேசத்தின் எல்லாப் பகுதிகளிலிருந்தும் கூடியிருந்த மக்கள் ஒலிவுமலையினிடமே திரண்டு வந்தார்கள்; அவர்கள் இயேசுவை உடனிருந்து அழைத்துச் சென்ற கூட்டத்தோடு சேர்ந்தபோது, அந்த நேரத்தின் உந்துதலைப் பற்றிக்கொண்டு, ‘கர்த்தருடைய நாமத்தில் வருகிறவர் ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்பட்டவர்!’ [Matthew 21:9.] என்ற முழக்கத்தை மேலும் பெருக்க உதவினார்கள். அதுபோலவே, அட்வென்டிஸ்ட் கூட்டங்களுக்கு திரண்டுவந்த அவிசுவாசிகளும்—சிலர் ஆர்வத்தினால், சிலர் வெறுமனே பரிகசிப்பதற்காக—‘இதோ, மணவாளன் வருகிறான்!’ என்ற செய்தியோடு சேர்ந்திருந்த உறுதியூட்டும் வல்லமையை உணர்ந்தார்கள்.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 250.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is the final message that is unsealed in the last days and it includes Islam of the third Woe. When Christ, who is the message that is unsealed, entered Jerusalem, and thus typified the Midnight Cry of the last days, He was carried (His message was carried) by an “ass”. The final message of Christ’s righteousness is carried by Islam.
L’Apocalypse de Jésus-Christ est le message final qui est descellé dans les derniers jours, et il inclut l’islam du troisième Malheur. Lorsque le Christ, qui est le message descellé, entra dans Jérusalem, et typifia ainsi le Cri de Minuit des derniers jours, il fut porté (son message fut porté) par un « âne ». Le message final de la justice du Christ est porté par l’islam.
Islam was, is, and will be a wild man, as represented by the wild Arabian ass, and any who wish to see (and there are many who don’t wish to see), can easily “recognize,” that the warfare that is now being carried out by Islam is wild insanity. The willingness to commit suicide, believing there will be some great sexual reward in the hereafter is satanic insanity. The first mention of Islam identified that Islam would be a wild man.
L’Islam fut, est, et sera un homme sauvage, ainsi que le représente l’âne sauvage arabe; et quiconque veut voir (et il y en a beaucoup qui ne veulent pas voir) peut aisément « reconnaître » que la guerre que l’Islam mène maintenant est une folie sauvage. La disposition à se suicider, en croyant qu’il y aura quelque grande récompense sexuelle dans l’au-delà, est une folie satanique. La première mention de l’Islam indiquait que l’Islam serait un homme sauvage.
Islam’s warfare brings all mankind together to fight the escalating warfare of the third Woe. Islam is the prophetic logic for the implementation of a one-world government, and the globalists teach that they purposely introduced the Jews back into the land of Israel after World War Two, that they might use the ancient hatred of Islam towards the Jews to initiate a Third World War. The globalists believe, and have taught for decades, that they will need a Third World War to bring about their one-world government. The globalists’ corrupted motivations, as expressed with their own words, fits into the biblical role of Islam.
Исламын дайн хүн төрөлхтнийг бүхэлд нь нэгтгэн, гурав дахь Гаслангийн улам ширүүсэх дайнд оролцохоор хүргэдэг. Ислам нь нэг дэлхийн засгийн газрыг хэрэгжүүлэх эш үзүүллэгийн логик мөн бөгөөд, даяарчлагчид Дэлхийн хоёрдугаар дайны дараа еврейчүүдийг Израилийн нутагт санаатайгаар буцаан суурьшуулсан гэж заадаг; ингэснээр еврейчүүдэд чиглэсэн Исламын эртний үзэн ядалтыг ашиглан Дэлхийн гуравдугаар дайныг өдөөх боломжтой болно гэж тэд үздэг. Даяарчлагчид нэг дэлхийн засгийн газраа тогтоохын тулд Дэлхийн гуравдугаар дайн шаардлагатай гэж итгэдэг бөгөөд үүнийг олон арван жилийн турш сургаж ирсэн. Даяарчлагчдын өөрсдийнх нь үгээр илэрхийлэгдсэн завхарсан сэдэл нь Исламын Библийн үүрэгтэй нийцдэг.
Possibly the most serious piece of Ishmael’s prophetic DNA, in the verse where he is first mentioned, is the fact that his spirit, which is the spirit of a “wild man,” “dwells in the presence of all his brethren.” The idea that it is only some sects of radical Islam that will be involved in the third Woe, does not square with God’s Word. The common politically correct view that there are a few bad apples in every religious persuasion, and that the majority of the Muslim religion are peace-loving citizens, does not agree with either their own holy book, or the Bible.
शायद इश्माएल के भविष्यसूचक डीएनए का सबसे गंभीर पक्ष, उस पद में जहाँ उसका प्रथम उल्लेख हुआ है, यह तथ्य है कि उसकी आत्मा, जो एक “वनपुरुष” की आत्मा है, “अपने सब भाइयों के साम्हने निवास करेगी।” यह धारणा कि केवल कट्टरपंथी इस्लाम के कुछ संप्रदाय ही तीसरी विपत्ति में सम्मिलित होंगे, परमेश्वर के वचन के अनुरूप नहीं है। यह प्रचलित राजनीतिक रूप से शिष्ट दृष्टिकोण कि प्रत्येक धार्मिक मत में कुछ बुरे तत्व होते हैं, और मुस्लिम धर्म के अधिकांश लोग शान्तिप्रिय नागरिक हैं, न तो उनकी अपनी पवित्र पुस्तक से, और न ही बाइबल से, सहमत होता है।
The Koran teaches that it is the duty of every follower of Allah to bring the entire world into conformity to Sharia law, and the first mention of Islam in the book of Genesis identifies that the “wild man” spirit of Ishmael will be in every follower of Islam. The Koran directly teaches its adherents to feign decency when they live in areas where they do not yet have the ability to force their religious rule upon the population, much like Catholicism.
Le Coran enseigne qu’il est du devoir de tout disciple d’Allah de faire entrer le monde entier en conformité avec la loi de la charia, et la première mention de l’islam dans le livre de la Genèse indique que l’esprit de « l’homme sauvage » d’Ismaël se retrouvera en tout adepte de l’islam. Le Coran enseigne directement à ses adhérents de feindre la bienséance lorsqu’ils vivent dans des régions où ils n’ont pas encore la capacité d’imposer leur domination religieuse à la population, à l’instar du catholicisme.
The prophet from Judah confronted Jeroboam when his kingdom was first inaugurated. Apostate Protestantism began in 1844, and it was immediately confronted by Millerite Adventism who had entered the Most Holy Place and discovered the law of God, including the seventh-day Sabbath. Millerite Adventism was told, as represented by Jeremiah, to return to God, but never to return to the “assembly of mockers.” The prophet from Judah was told to not return the same way he came, nor eat or drink the food of the lying prophet of Bethel, but he did so. The prophet from Judah’s death was symbolically placed between two symbols, that represented the papacy and Islam. Laodicean Adventism cannot see those two truths for in 1863, they poked out their own spiritual eyes, and began the process of covering the jewels and methodology employed by William Miller in order to establish the foundations of Adventism with counterfeit coins and jewels, and the methodology of apostate Protestantism and Catholicism.
Umprofethi ovela kwaJuda wabhekana noJerobhowamu lapho umbuso wakhe usanda kumiswa. UbuProthestani obuhlubukileyo baqala ngo-1844, futhi ngokushesha babhekana ne-Adventism yamaMillerite eyayisingene eNdaweni eNgcwelengcwele Kakhulu futhi yathola umthetho kaNkulunkulu, kuhlanganisa neSabatha losuku lwesikhombisa. I-Adventism yamaMillerite yatshelwa, njengoba imelwe nguJeremiya, ukuba ibuyele kuNkulunkulu, kodwa ingaphinde ibuyele “ebandleni labaklolodeli.” Umprofethi ovela kwaJuda watshelwa ukuba angabuyi ngendlela efanayo afike ngayo, futhi angadli noma aphuze ukudla komprofethi wamanga waseBetheli, kodwa wakwenza lokho. Ukufa komprofethi ovela kwaJuda kwabekwa ngokomfanekiso phakathi kwezimpawu ezimbili ezazimele upapa nobuSulumane. I-Adventism yaseLawodikea ayikwazi ukubona lawo maqiniso amabili, ngokuba ngo-1863 yakhupha wona amehlo ayo omoya, yaqala nenqubo yokumboza amagugu nendlela yokusebenza eyasetshenziswa nguWilliam Miller ukuze kumiswe izisekelo ze-Adventism ngezinhlamvu zemali zomgunyathi namagugu omgunyathi, kanye nendlela yokusebenza yoBuProthestani obuhlubukileyo nobuKatolika.
The “dirt brush Man” is now sweeping His floor and restoring the jewels and giving them to Miller to place upon his table, but Adventism is blinded by the belief that they are the remnant people who were raised up as His people in 1844.
L’« Homme au balai de poussière » est maintenant en train de balayer Son aire, de restaurer les joyaux et de les donner à Miller pour qu’il les place sur sa table ; mais l’adventisme est aveuglé par la croyance qu’il constitue le peuple du reste, suscité comme Son peuple en 1844.
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Matthew 3:9–12.
At huwag ninyong isiping sabihin sa inyong sarili, Mayroon kaming si Abraham na aming ama; sapagkat sinasabi ko sa inyo na magagawa ng Dios mula sa mga batong ito na magbangon ng mga anak kay Abraham. At ngayon din naman ang palakol ay nakalapat na sa ugat ng mga punongkahoy: kaya ang bawa’t punongkahoy na hindi nagbubunga ng mabuting bunga ay pinuputol at inihahagis sa apoy. Sa katotohanan ay binautismuhan ko kayo sa tubig tungo sa pagsisisi: datapuwa’t ang dumarating sa hulihan ko ay lalong makapangyarihan kay sa akin, na hindi ako karapatdapat magdala ng kaniyang mga panyapak: siya ang sa inyo’y magbabautismo sa Espiritu Santo, at sa apoy: Na ang kaniyang kalaykay ay nasa kaniyang kamay, at lubos niyang lilinisin ang kaniyang giikan, at titipunin ang kaniyang trigo sa bangan; datapuwa’t susunugin niya ang ipa sa apoy na hindi mapapatay. Mateo 3:9–12.
Laodicean Adventism will be spewed out of the mouth of the Lord, except for those individuals who might repent. Laodicean Adventism is to be buried in the same grave as the former covenant people who rejected Miller’s message are buried in, for they are now, also a former covenant people in relation to the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The rebellion of 1863 is illustrated by the prophet who came from Judah, who also left a prediction of king Josiah.
L’Adventisme laodicéen sera vomi de la bouche du Seigneur, à l’exception des individus qui pourraient se repentir. L’Adventisme laodicéen doit être enseveli dans la même tombe que celle où sont ensevelis les anciens membres du peuple de l’alliance qui rejetèrent le message de Miller, car eux aussi sont désormais un ancien peuple de l’alliance par rapport aux cent quarante-quatre mille. La rébellion de 1863 est illustrée par le prophète venu de Juda, lequel laissa aussi une prédiction concernant le roi Josias.

“Instead of becoming like the world, we are to become more and more distinct from the world. Satan has combined and will continue to combine with the churches in making a masterly effort against the truth of God. Everything that is done by God’s people to make inroads upon the world will call forth determined opposition from the powers of darkness. The enemy’s last great conflict will be a most determined one. It will be the last battle between the powers of darkness and the powers of light. Every true child of God will fight bravely on the side of Christ. Those who in this great crisis allow themselves to be more on the side of the world than of God, will eventually place themselves wholly on the side of the world. Those who become confused in their understanding of the word, who fail to see the meaning of antichrist, will surely place themselves on the side of antichrist. There is no time now for us to assimilate with the world. Daniel is standing in his lot and in his place. The prophecies of Daniel and of John are to be understood. They interpret each other. They give to the world truths which everyone should understand. These prophecies are to be witness in the world. By their fulfillment in these last days, they will explain themselves.
“Dunia se menyerupai bukannya, sebaliknya kita harus makin lama makin berbeda dari dunia. Setan telah bergabung dan akan terus bergabung dengan gereja-gereja dalam mengerahkan suatu usaha yang sangat cakap melawan kebenaran Allah. Segala sesuatu yang dilakukan oleh umat Allah untuk menerobos dunia akan membangkitkan perlawanan yang tegas dari kuasa-kuasa kegelapan. Pertentangan besar terakhir dari musuh akan merupakan suatu pertarungan yang paling sengit. Itulah peperangan terakhir antara kuasa-kuasa kegelapan dan kuasa-kuasa terang. Setiap anak Allah yang sejati akan berjuang dengan gagah berani di pihak Kristus. Mereka yang dalam krisis besar ini membiarkan diri mereka lebih berada di pihak dunia daripada di pihak Allah, pada akhirnya akan menempatkan diri mereka sepenuhnya di pihak dunia. Mereka yang menjadi bingung dalam pengertian mereka tentang firman, yang gagal melihat makna antikristus, pasti akan menempatkan diri mereka di pihak antikristus. Sekarang bukanlah waktunya bagi kita untuk berbaur dengan dunia. Daniel berdiri dalam bagiannya dan di tempatnya. Nubuatan-nubuatan Daniel dan Yohanes harus dipahami. Nubuatan-nubuatan itu saling menafsirkan. Nubuatan-nubuatan itu memberikan kepada dunia kebenaran-kebenaran yang harus dipahami oleh setiap orang. Nubuatan-nubuatan ini harus menjadi kesaksian di dalam dunia. Melalui penggenapannya pada hari-hari terakhir ini, nubuatan-nubuatan itu akan menjelaskan dirinya sendiri.”
“The Lord is about to punish the world for its iniquity. He is about to punish religious bodies for their rejection of the light and truth which has been given them. The great message, combining the first, second, and third angel’s messages, is to be given to the world. This is to be the burden of our work. Those who truly believe in Christ will openly conform to the law of Jehovah. The Sabbath is the sign between God and His people, and we are to make visible our conformity to the law of God by observing the Sabbath. It is to be the mark of distinction between God’s chosen people and the world. It means much to be true to God. This embraces health reform. It means that our diet must be simple, that we must be temperate in all things. The many varieties of food so often seen on tables is not necessary, but highly injurious. Mind and body are to be preserved in the best condition of health. Only those who have been trained in the knowledge and fear of God should be chosen to take responsibilities. Those who have been long in the truth, yet who cannot distinguish between the pure principles of righteousness and the principles of evil, whose understanding in regard to justice, mercy, and the love of God is beclouded, should be relieved of responsibility.
“Bwana yu karibu kuuadhibu ulimwengu kwa sababu ya uovu wake. Yu karibu kuziadhibu jumuiya za kidini kwa sababu ya kuukataa kwao ule nuru na ukweli waliokabidhiwa. Ujumbe mkuu, unaounganisha ujumbe wa malaika wa kwanza, wa pili, na wa tatu, unapaswa kutangazwa kwa ulimwengu. Huo ndio unaopaswa kuwa mzigo wa kazi yetu. Wale wanaomwamini Kristo kwa kweli wataufuata waziwazi sheria ya Yehova. Sabato ndiyo ishara iliyo kati ya Mungu na watu Wake, nasi tunapaswa kudhihirisha kwa wazi ulinganifu wetu na sheria ya Mungu kwa kuishika Sabato. Hiyo inapaswa kuwa alama ya utofauti kati ya watu wateule wa Mungu na ulimwengu. Ina maana kubwa kuwa waaminifu kwa Mungu. Hili lajumuisha matengenezo ya afya. Hii ina maana kwamba chakula chetu kinapaswa kuwa rahisi, kwamba tunapaswa kuwa na kiasi katika mambo yote. Aina nyingi za vyakula zinazoonekana mara nyingi mezani si za lazima, bali zina madhara makubwa sana. Akili na mwili vinapaswa kuhifadhiwa katika hali bora kabisa ya afya. Ni wale tu waliofundishwa katika maarifa na kumcha Mungu wanaopaswa kuchaguliwa kubeba madaraka. Wale ambao wamekuwa katika kweli kwa muda mrefu, lakini hawawezi kutofautisha kati ya kanuni safi za haki na kanuni za uovu, ambao ufahamu wao kuhusu haki, rehema, na upendo wa Mungu umefifishwa, wanapaswa kuondolewa katika wajibu.”
“God has important lessons for his people to learn. Had these lessons been learned before, his cause would not be where it is today. One thing must be done. The truth is not to be withheld from ministers or men in positions of responsibility for fear of incurring their displeasure. There are to be connected with our institutions men who with meekness and in wisdom will declare the whole counsel of God. God’s wrath is kindled against those who in carnal security and price have shown contempt for his management. They are endangering the prosperity of the cause.

“Every false way is a deception, and if sustained, will in the end bring destruction. Thus the Lord permits those who maintain false plans to be destroyed. At the very time when praise and adulation is heard, sudden destruction comes. There are those who, notwithstanding they know of the reproof received by others, because of unfaithfulness, turn away from admonition. These are doubly guilty. They knew the Lord’s will and did it not. Their punishment will be proportionate to their guilt. They would not take heed to the word of the Lord.” Kress Collection, 105, 106.
“હર એક ખોટો માર્ગ છેતરપિંડી છે, અને જો તેમાં સ્થિર રહેવાય, તો અંતે તે વિનાશ લાવે છે. તેથી જે લોકો ખોટી યોજનાઓને જાળવી રાખે છે, તેઓને નાશ પામવા માટે પ્રભુ મંજૂરી આપે છે. બરાબર એ જ સમયે, જ્યારે સ્તુતિ અને ચાપલૂસીના સ્વર સાંભળવામાં આવે છે, ત્યારે અચાનક વિનાશ આવી પડે છે. એવા કેટલાક છે કે, બીજા લોકોએ અવિશ્વાસુપણાને કારણે પ્રાપ્ત કરેલા ઠપકાની જાણ હોવા છતાં, ચેતવણીથી મોઢું ફેરવી લે છે. આવા લોકો દ્વિગુણ દોષી છે. તેઓ પ્રભુની ઇચ્છા જાણતા હતા, છતાં તેમણે તેને અનુસર્યું નહીં. તેમની સજા તેમના દોષના પ્રમાણમાં થશે. તેમણે પ્રભુના વચન પર ધ્યાન આપવું ઇચ્છ્યું નહીં.” Kress Collection, 105, 106.
