Introduction: The Foundation of Habakkuk's Two Tables

Introductio: Fundamentum Duarum Tabularum Habacuc.

This series is called Habakkuk's Two Tables. So far, we have been taking certain truths from the 1843 and 1850 Charts, not to defend them biblically at this point, but to establish that Ellen White endorses these truths. Our contention is that if you reject these foundational truths, you are simultaneously rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy. We want to put that in the record first.

Diese Reihe trägt den Titel Habakuks zwei Tafeln. Bis jetzt haben wir bestimmte Wahrheiten aus den Karten von 1843 und 1850 herangezogen, nicht um sie an diesem Punkt biblisch zu verteidigen, sondern um festzustellen, dass Ellen White diese Wahrheiten befürwortet. Unsere Behauptung lautet, dass man, wenn man diese grundlegenden Wahrheiten verwirft, zugleich den Geist der Weissagung verwirft. Das wollen wir zunächst festhalten.

Review of Millerite History and the Midnight Cry

Examen de l’histoire millérite et du Cri de Minuit

In our first presentation, we outlined the history of the Millerites, the waymarks from 1798 to 1844. In our last presentation, we looked more closely at the history from the tarrying time to the closing of the door on October 22, 1844, identifying that time as the Midnight Cry. The Midnight Cry entered history at the Exeter Camp Meeting, August 12–17, 1844, and continued until October 22, 1844. The tarrying time, which began in March 1844, is part of the Midnight Cry and the purging process that prepared a people to proclaim its message.

Katika wasilisho letu la kwanza, tuliainisha historia ya Wamilleri, alama za wakati kutoka 1798 hadi 1844. Katika wasilisho letu lililopita, tuliitazama kwa ukaribu zaidi historia kutoka wakati wa kukawia hadi kufungwa kwa mlango tarehe 22 Oktoba, 1844, tukitambua wakati huo kuwa ni Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane kiliingia katika historia kwenye Mkutano wa Kambi wa Exeter, Agosti 12–17, 1844, na kikaendelea hadi Oktoba 22, 1844. Wakati wa kukawia, ulioanza mwezi Machi 1844, ni sehemu ya Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane na mchakato wa utakaso uliowaandaa watu kuutangaza ujumbe wake.

We hoped to establish this in your hearts and minds yesterday. All the illustrations in God's Word of tarrying times speak about the end of the world. Ellen White, commenting on 1 Corinthians 10:11, says, "Each of the ancient prophets spoke more for our day than the days in which they lived." 1 Corinthians 10:11 states, "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." The history of the Millerites is a history of what will take place at the end of the world. All these biblical histories of the tarrying time and what follows illustrate what would take place in the Millerite tarrying time and the Midnight Cry. We need to understand these things because history is to be repeated.

Nous espérions établir cela dans vos cœurs et dans vos esprits hier. Toutes les illustrations, dans la Parole de Dieu, des temps de retardement parlent de la fin du monde. Ellen White, commentant 1 Corinthiens 10:11, déclare : « Chacun des anciens prophètes a parlé davantage pour notre époque que pour les jours dans lesquels il a vécu. » 1 Corinthiens 10:11 dit : « Or toutes ces choses leur arrivaient pour servir d’exemples ; et elles ont été écrites pour notre avertissement, à nous pour qui la fin des siècles est parvenue. » L’histoire des millérites est une histoire de ce qui aura lieu à la fin du monde. Toutes ces histoires bibliques du temps de retardement et de ce qui s’ensuit illustrent ce qui devait avoir lieu dans le temps de retardement millérite et dans le Cri de Minuit. Nous avons besoin de comprendre ces choses, parce que l’histoire doit se répéter.

The 2520: Ellen White's Endorsement

Le 2520 : l’approbation d’Ellen White

We have been dealing with the first issue on these Charts, though we haven't mentioned it much. The first doctrine we want to show that Ellen White clearly endorses is the 2520. The first two presentations were designed to lead us here. Tomorrow morning, we'll begin considering the Daily on this Chart.

上ɗan waɗannan Chart, mun kasance muna mu’amala da batu na farko, ko da yake ba mu yawaita ambatonsa ba. Koyarwa ta farko da muke so mu nuna cewa Ellen White ta amince da ita a sarari ita ce 2520. Gabatarwa biyu na farko an tsara su ne domin su kai mu zuwa wannan batu. Gobe da safe, za mu fara nazarin Daily a wannan Chart.

Remembering the Lord's Leading and Teaching

Se Souvenant de la Direction et de l’Enseignement du Seigneur

Let's begin with Life Sketches, page 196: "We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history." The only thing a Christian has to fear for the future is falling off the path and being lost. The thing to be fearful about is not obtaining eternal life. Here, Sister White says we have nothing to fear for the future except for two things. This is a common passage in the Spirit of Prophecy in Adventism, but rarely do you hear anyone elaborate on what leading and what teachings she is referring to.

Commençons par Life Sketches, page 196 : « Nous n’avons rien à craindre pour l’avenir, sinon d’oublier le chemin par lequel le Seigneur nous a conduits, ainsi que son enseignement dans notre histoire passée. » La seule chose qu’un chrétien ait à craindre pour l’avenir, c’est de quitter le sentier et d’être perdu. Ce qu’il faut craindre, c’est de ne pas obtenir la vie éternelle. Ici, Sister White dit que nous n’avons rien à craindre pour l’avenir, excepté deux choses. C’est là un passage courant dans l’Esprit de prophétie au sein de l’adventisme, mais il est rare d’entendre quelqu’un développer de quelle direction et de quels enseignements elle parle.

We will show that the leading she refers to is the history of the Midnight Cry. In the history of the Midnight Cry, Christ was leading in the tarrying time, the arrival and proclamation of the Midnight Cry, and the closing of the door on October 22, 1844. He designed that history to produce a people who could enter by faith into the Most Holy Place with Him. We should be fearful to forget that particular history, as well as His teachings.

Wir werden zeigen, dass die Führung, auf die sie sich bezieht, die Geschichte des Mitternachtsrufs ist. In der Geschichte des Mitternachtsrufs führte Christus in der Zeit des Verzugs, beim Eintreffen und bei der Verkündigung des Mitternachtsrufs sowie beim Schließen der Tür am 22. Oktober 1844. Er bestimmte diese Geschichte dazu, ein Volk hervorzubringen, das durch Glauben mit Ihm in das Allerheiligste eintreten konnte. Wir sollten uns fürchten, jene besondere Geschichte ebenso wie seine Lehren zu vergessen.

We will show that there is a specific teaching that produced the Midnight Cry. That teaching was not the collapse of the Ottoman Empire on August 11, 1840, nor the state of the dead, which came in the history of the Second Angel's Message in the Millerite History. It was a specific teaching in the Millerite History that produced the Midnight Cry, where the Lord led, and we have nothing to fear for the future except that we forget His leading and His teaching.

Nous montrerons qu’il y avait un enseignement précis qui a produit le Cri de Minuit. Cet enseignement n’était ni la chute de l’Empire ottoman le 11 août 1840, ni l’état des morts, lequel est apparu dans l’histoire du Message du Deuxième Ange dans l’histoire millérite. C’était un enseignement particulier, dans l’histoire millérite, qui a produit le Cri de Minuit, là où le Seigneur a conduit, et nous n’avons rien à craindre pour l’avenir, sinon d’oublier sa direction et son enseignement.

We suggest that the symbol of both His leading and His teaching is the Midnight Cry. Let's read this passage from Ellen White's first vision again:

Soki tokómi ete elembo ya bokambi na Ye mpe ya mateya na Ye ezali Nseka ya Butu. Tótánga lisusu eteni oyo ya emonaneli ya liboso ya Ellen White:

"On this path the advent people were traveling to the city which was at the farther end of the path. They had a bright light set up behind them at the beginning of the path, which an angel told me was the midnight cry. This light shone all along the path, and gave light for their feet, so that they might not stumble. If they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, who was just before them, leading them to the city, they were safe. But soon some grew weary, and said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage them by raising His glorious right arm, and from His arm came a light which waved over the advent band, and they shouted 'Alleluia!' Others rashly denied the light behind them, and said that it was not God that had led them out so far."

在这条道路上,复临子民正向着那位于路尽头的圣城前行。在道路的起点,他们身后设立着一盏明亮的光;有一位天使告诉我,那就是半夜的呼声。这光照彻整条道路,也照亮他们的脚步,使他们不至跌倒。只要他们定睛仰望正在他们前面、引领他们前往圣城的耶稣,他们便是安全的。 但不久,有些人渐渐疲倦了,说那城还远得很,而他们原以为早已可以进入其中了。于是,耶稣便举起祂荣耀的右臂来鼓励他们;从祂的臂中发出一道光,挥映在复临队伍之上,他们便呼喊说:“哈利路亚!”另有一些人则轻率地否认他们身后的那光,说并不是上帝领他们出来、走了这么远。

They are denying the Midnight Cry, and in connection with the Midnight Cry, they are arguing that the Lord was not leading them in the Midnight Cry. They are denying the leading of God in the Midnight Cry.

Bakanamkoma lipenga ya usiku wa manane, na kuhusiana na lipenga ya usiku wa manane, wanabisha kwamba Bwana hakuwa akiwaongoza katika lipenga ya usiku wa manane. Wanakana uongozi wa Mungu katika lipenga ya usiku wa manane.

"The light behind them went out, leaving their feet in perfect darkness, and they stumbled and lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below."

Lumière qui était derrière eux s’éteignit, laissant leurs pieds dans des ténèbres complètes; ils trébuchèrent, perdirent de vue le but et Jésus, et tombèrent hors du sentier, en bas, dans le monde obscur et méchant qui se trouvait au-dessous.

The Midnight Cry in Context

कृपया स्पष्ट कीजिए कि “ff” से आपका आशय किस भाषा से है।

We will look once more at the history of the Midnight Cry to put it in context before we deal with the 2520.

Nous considérerons une fois de plus l’histoire du Cri de Minuit, afin de la replacer dans son contexte avant de traiter de la période des 2520.

From The Great Controversy, pages 391–395: "When the time passed at which the Lord's coming was first expected, in the spring of 1844,"—this is the tarrying time, the first disappointment—"those who had looked in faith for His appearing were for a season involved in doubt and uncertainty. While the world regarded them as having been utterly defeated and proved to have been cherishing a delusion, their source of consolation was still the word of God. Many continued to search the Scriptures, examining anew the evidences of their faith and carefully studying the prophecies to obtain further light."

Afi The Great Controversy, oju-iwe 391–395: “Nigbati akoko ti a ti kọ́kọ́ retí wiwa Oluwa kọja, ní ìrú-ọ̀dún 1844,”—eyi ni àkókò ìdádúró, ìbànújẹ àkọ́kọ́—“àwọn tí wọ́n ti fi ìgbàgbọ́ retí ìfarahàn Rẹ̀ wà fún ìgbà díẹ̀ nínú iyèméjì àti àìdánilójú. Nígbà tí ayé ka wọ́n sí ẹni tí a ti ṣẹ́gun wọn pátápátá tí a sì ti fi hàn pé wọ́n ti ń tọ́jú ìtanràn kan, orísun ìtùnú wọn ṣì jẹ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ tẹ̀síwájú láti máa ṣàwárí Ìwé Mímọ́, tí wọ́n tún ń ṣàyẹ̀wò ẹ̀rí ìgbàgbọ́ wọn, tí wọ́n sì ń fara balẹ̀ kẹ́kọ̀ọ́ àwọn àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ láti lè rí ìmọ́lẹ̀ síi.”

If many did this, that means there were some who were not. It doesn't say "they"; it says "many"—two classes here.

Si beaucoup ont fait cela, cela signifie qu’il y en avait qui ne l’ont pas fait. Il n’est pas dit « eux » ; il est dit « beaucoup » — il y a ici deux catégories.

"The Bible testimony in support of their position seemed clear and conclusive. Signs which could not be mistaken pointed to the coming of Christ as near. The special blessing of the Lord, both in the conversion of sinners and the revival of spiritual life among Christians, had testified that the message was of Heaven. And though the believers could not explain their disappointment, they felt assured that God had led them in their past experience.

Библейское свидетельство в поддержку их позиции казалось ясным и неопровержимым. Знамения, которых невозможно было не узнать, указывали на близость пришествия Христа. Особое благословение Господа, как в обращении грешников, так и в оживлении духовной жизни среди христиан, свидетельствовало о том, что эта весть — от Неба. И хотя верующие не могли объяснить своего разочарования, они были уверены, что Бог вёл их в их прежнем опыте.

"Interwoven with prophecies which they had regarded as applying to the time of the second advent was instruction specially adapted to their state of uncertainty and suspense, and encouraging them to wait patiently in the faith that what was now dark to their understanding would in due time be made plain."

Entrelacées aux prophéties qu’ils avaient considérées comme se rapportant au temps du second avènement se trouvaient des instructions spécialement adaptées à leur état d’incertitude et d’attente anxieuse, les encourageant à attendre avec patience dans la foi que ce qui était alors obscur à leur intelligence serait, en son temps, éclairci.

In that paragraph, it says, "Interwoven with prophecies which they had regarded as applying to the time of the second advent . . . ." What prophecies did they believe applied to the Second Advent? The 2520, the 2300, and the 1335. They believed all three of these time prophecies ended in 1843, and that was the Second Advent.

N’ime paragrafu ahụ, e kwuru, “Ejikọtakwara ya na amụma ndị ha lere anya dị ka ndị metụtara oge ọbịbịa nke ugboro abụọ . . . .” Olee amụma ndị ha kwenyere na ha metụtara Ọbịbịa nke Ugboro Abụọ? Nke 2520, nke 2300, na nke 1335. Ha kwenyere na amụma oge atọ ndị a niile bịara na njedebe n’afọ 1843, nakwa na nke ahụ bụ Ọbịbịa nke Ugboro Abụọ.

"Among these prophecies was that of Habakkuk 2:1–4: 'I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.'"

« Au nombre de ces prophéties figurait celle d’Habacuc 2:1–4 : “Je me tiendrai à mon poste, et je me placerai sur la tour, et j’observerai pour voir ce qu’Il me dira, et ce que je répondrai après avoir été repris. Et l’Éternel me répondit, et dit : Écris la vision, et grave-la clairement sur des tables, afin qu’on puisse la lire couramment. Car la vision est encore pour un temps déterminé, mais à la fin elle parlera, et ne mentira pas : si elle tarde, attends-la ; car elle viendra certainement, elle ne tardera pas. Voici, son âme qui s’élève n’est pas droite en lui ; mais le juste vivra par sa foi.” »

As early as 1842, the direction given in this prophecy to "write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it," suggested to Charles Fitch the preparation of a prophetic chart to illustrate the visions of Daniel and the Revelation. The publication of this chart was regarded as a fulfillment of the command given by Habakkuk. No one, however, then noticed that an apparent delay in the accomplishment of the vision—a tarrying time—is presented in the same prophecy. After the disappointment, this scripture appeared very significant: 'The vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. . . . The just shall live by his faith.'

1842 жылдын өзүндө эле, бул пайгамбарлыкта берилген: «аянды жазып кой, окуган киши жүгүрүп өтө алгыдай кылып такталарга ачык түшүр» деген көрсөтмө Чарльз Фитчке Даниел менен Аян китебиндеги көрүнүштөрдү түшүндүрүп көрсөтүү үчүн пайгамбарлык карта даярдоону сунуш кылган. Бул картанын жарыяланышы Хабаккукка берилген буйруктун аткарылышы катары кабыл алынган. Бирок ошол учурда ошол эле пайгамбарлыкта аяндын ишке ашышында көрүнгөн бир кечигүү — бир азга кармалып туруу мезгили — да көрсөтүлгөнү эч кимдин көңүлүнө түшкөн эмес. Үмүт үзүлгөндөн кийин бул Ыйык Жазма өзгөчө маанилүү болуп көрүндү: «Анткени аян дагы белгиленген убакыт үчүн; бирок аягында ал сүйлөйт, жалган айтпайт: ал кармалып турса да, аны күт; анткени ал сөзсүз келет, кечикпейт. . . . Адил адам өз ишеними менен жашайт».

The 1843 Chart and the Spirit of Prophecy

Jaadwalka 1843 iyo Ruuxa Waxsii-sheegidda

It does not matter whether you do regular work or irregular work—terms Ellen White uses for conference work and self-supporting work, respectively. Whether you go to leading self-supporting ministries in Adventism or to the General Conference or the Biblical Research Institute, if you ask them about the 1843 Chart, they will say, "There are lots of mistakes on this Chart." They disagree with Ellen White, who says the Lord held His hand over "a mistake" in some of the figures on this Chart.

ولا يهم إن كنت تقوم بعملٍ نظامي أو بعملٍ غير نظامي—وهما المصطلحان اللذان تستخدمهما إلن وايت للعمل المؤتمري والعمل القائم على الإعالة الذاتية، على التوالي. وسواء ذهبت إلى أبرز الخدمات القائمة على الإعالة الذاتية في الأدفنتية أو إلى المؤتمر العام أو إلى معهد البحوث الكتابية، فإنك إن سألتهم عن مخطط 1843 فسيقولون: «توجد أخطاء كثيرة في هذا المخطط». وهم يختلفون مع إلن وايت، التي تقول إن الرب قد وضع يده على «خطأ» في بعض الأرقام الواردة في هذا المخطط.

But they also place themselves in opposition to the Word of God. In Habakkuk, it says that this vision "shall . . . not lie." The vision the Pioneers were to put on the 1843 Chart, which they did, is a fulfillment of Habakkuk 2. This is the vision they were to place on this Chart, and Habakkuk 2 says this vision "shall . . . not lie." So, when you say this Chart is "full of mistakes," you are opposing both the Spirit of Prophecy and the Bible.

Men de stiller seg også i opposisjon til Guds Ord. I Habakkuk står det at dette synet «skal … ikke lyve». Det synet pionerene skulle sette på 1843-kartet, og som de også satte der, er en oppfyllelse av Habakkuk 2. Dette er synet de skulle plassere på dette kartet, og Habakkuk 2 sier at dette synet «skal … ikke lyve». Når du derfor sier at dette kartet er «fullt av feil», setter du deg opp mot både Profetiens Ånd og Bibelen.

"A portion of Ezekiel's prophecy also was a source of strength and comfort to believers: 'The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God. . . . The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. . . . I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged.' 'They of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done.' Ezekiel 12:21–25, 27, 28."

Sehemu ya unabii wa Ezekieli nayo ilikuwa chanzo cha nguvu na faraja kwa waamini: “Neno la Bwana likanijia, kusema, Mwanadamu, ni methali gani hiyo mliyo nayo katika nchi ya Israeli, mkisema, Siku zinakawia, na kila ono lashindwa? Basi waambie, Bwana MUNGU asema hivi. . . . Siku zimekaribia, na kutimia kwa kila ono. . . . Nitasema, na neno nitakalolisema litatimia; halitakawia tena.” “Watu wa nyumba ya Israeli husema, Ono analoliona ni kwa habari ya siku nyingi zijazo, naye anatabiri habari za nyakati zilizo mbali. Kwa hiyo waambie, Bwana MUNGU asema hivi; Hakutakuwa na neno langu lo lote litakalokawia tena, bali neno nililolinena litafanywa.” Ezekieli 12:21–25, 27, 28.

Two Classes of Worshippers

I can translate that, but I’m missing the target language: “ff” isn’t a recognized language code. Please tell me which language you want, and I’ll return only the translated text.

Notice that she is talking about two classes of worshippers. She says many, when this disappointment came, continued to study the prophecies, indicating there was a class that did not continue. We will get more light on the distinction of the two classes.

Remarquez qu’elle parle de deux catégories d’adorateurs. Elle dit que beaucoup, lorsque cette déception survint, continuèrent d’étudier les prophéties, indiquant par là qu’il y avait une catégorie qui ne continua pas. Nous recevrons davantage de lumière sur la distinction entre les deux catégories.

The fulfillment of Habakkuk 2:1–4 is this 1843 Chart and the 1850 Chart. Even in Habakkuk, verse 4 says that the just shall live by his faith and he whose heart is lifted up. It is describing two classes of worshippers. The history of the Midnight Cry produces two classes of worshippers, and those two classes are addressed in Habakkuk.

La réalisation de Habakuk 2.1–4, c’est ce Tableau de 1843 et le Tableau de 1850. Déjà dans Habakuk, le verset 4 dit que le juste vivra par sa foi, et il parle aussi de celui dont le cœur s’enfle d’orgueil. Il y est décrit deux classes d’adorateurs. L’histoire du Cri de Minuit fait naître deux classes d’adorateurs, et ces deux classes sont abordées dans Habakuk.

In the next paragraph, after referencing Habakkuk 2 and Ezekiel, she identifies one of the classes: "the waiting ones." Who are the waiting ones? They are those fulfilling Daniel 12, "Blessed is he who waiteth, and cometh to the 1335." This class is the waiting ones.

Dans le paragraphe suivant, après avoir fait référence à Habacuc 2 et à Ézéchiel, elle identifie l’une des classes : « ceux qui attendent ». Qui sont ceux qui attendent ? Ce sont ceux qui accomplissent Daniel 12 : « Heureux celui qui attend, et qui parvient jusqu’à 1335. » Cette classe, ce sont ceux qui attendent.

"The waiting ones rejoiced, believing that He who knows the end from the beginning had looked down through the ages and, foreseeing their disappointment, had given them words of courage and hope."

Ngaʻa natou naʻe tatali naʻa nau fiefia, ʻo tui ko Ia ʻoku ne ʻilo ʻa e ngataʻanga mei he kamataʻanga kuo ne sio hifo ʻi he ngaahi kuonga, pea ʻi heʻene tomuʻa mamata ki heʻenau loto-mamahi, kuo ne foaki kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e loto-toʻa mo e ʻamanaki lelei.

We had a sister call who had been working in one of the Eastern European countries for a few years. She was from there, moved to the United States, and when she understood this message, moved back. She has faced resistance, with her former church family reaching out to leadership in her country to "close the door on her." Recently, the Lord opened the door for her to share this message with groups.

Nous avons reçu l’appel d’une sœur qui travaillait depuis quelques années dans l’un des pays d’Europe de l’Est. Elle était originaire de ce pays, avait émigré aux États-Unis, et, lorsqu’elle a compris ce message, elle est retournée s’y établir. Elle a rencontré de la résistance, son ancienne famille d’Église ayant pris contact avec les responsables de son pays pour « lui fermer la porte ». Récemment, le Seigneur lui a ouvert la porte pour partager ce message avec des groupes.

She called early this morning, sharing that one obstacle was transportation. They needed a car to travel and teach this message, but lacked the funds. As soon as they reached this place, friends from the United States, convicted by the Lord, sent enough money to buy a car.

ئۇ بۈگۈن ئەتىگەندە بالدۇر تېلېفون قىلىپ، بىر توسالغۇنىڭ قاتناش مەسىلىسى ئىكەنلىكىنى بايان قىلدى. ئۇلارغا بۇ خەۋەرنى يەتكۈزۈپ تەلىم بېرىش ئۈچۈن بىر ئاپتوموبىل لازىم ئىدى، ئەمما بۇنىڭغا يېتەرلىك مەبلەغ يوق ئىدى. ئۇلار بۇ يەرگە يېتىپ كېلىشى بىلەنلا، پەرۋەردىگارنىڭ ئىلكىدە قەلبى قوزغالغان ئامېرىكا قوشما شتاتلىرىدىكى دوستلار بىر ئاپتوموبىل سېتىۋېلىشقا يېتەرلىك بولغان پۇلنى ئەۋەتتى.

This is the type of experience that was happening for the disappointed ones. They were disappointed, but the Lord led them to the Scriptures to encourage them, saying, "This disappointment was at my direction. Just keep moving forward."

C’est le type d’expérience que vivaient ceux qui avaient été déçus. Ils étaient déçus, mais le Seigneur les conduisit vers les Écritures pour les encourager, en disant : « Cette déception était dirigée par moi. Continuez simplement d’aller de l’avant. »

"Had it not been for such portions of Scripture, admonishing them to wait with patience and to hold fast their confidence in God's word, their faith would have failed in that trying hour."

“Tan se pa t gen pou pòsyon konsa nan Ekriti yo, ki t ap avèti yo pou yo tann avèk pasyans e pou yo kenbe fèm konfyans yo nan pawòl Bondye a, lafwa yo ta febli nan lè eprèv sa a.”

The Parable of the Ten Virgins and the Tarrying Time

Mithyaan Gafatan Kurnanii fi Yeroo Turtii isaanii

Notice how Sister White ties the parable of the Ten Virgins with Habakkuk 2, as both discuss a tarrying time and two classes of worshippers.

Remarquez comment Sœur White relie la parabole des dix vierges à Habacuc 2, puisque tous deux traitent d’un temps de retardement et de deux classes d’adorateurs.

"The parable of the ten virgins of Matthew 25 also illustrates the experience of the Adventist people. In Matthew 24, in answer to the question of His disciples concerning the sign of His coming and of the end of the world, Christ had pointed out some of the most important events in the history of the world and of the church from His first to His second advent; namely, the destruction of Jerusalem, the great tribulation of the church under the pagan and papal persecutions, the darkening of the sun and moon, and the falling of the stars. After this He spoke of His coming in His kingdom, and related the parable describing the two classes of servants who look for His appearing. Chapter 25 opens with the words: 'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins.' Here is brought to view the church living in the last days,"

Ang talinghaga ng sampung dalaga sa Mateo 25 ay naglalarawan din ng karanasan ng bayang Adventista. Sa Mateo 24, bilang tugon sa tanong ng Kaniyang mga alagad tungkol sa tanda ng Kaniyang pagparito at ng wakas ng sanlibutan, itinuro ni Cristo ang ilan sa pinakamahahalagang pangyayari sa kasaysayan ng sanlibutan at ng iglesya mula sa Kaniyang una hanggang sa Kaniyang ikalawang pagparito; samakatuwid baga’y, ang pagkawasak ng Jerusalem, ang malaking kapighatian ng iglesya sa ilalim ng mga pag-uusig na pagano at papal, ang pagdidilim ng araw at ng buwan, at ang pagbagsak ng mga bituin. Pagkatapos nito ay nagsalita Siya tungkol sa Kaniyang pagdating sa Kaniyang kaharian, at isinalaysay ang talinghagang naglalarawan sa dalawang uri ng mga alipin na naghihintay sa Kaniyang pagpapakita. Ang kabanata 25 ay nagbubukas sa mga salitang ito: “Kung magkagayo’y itutulad ang kaharian ng langit sa sampung dalaga.” Dito ay ipinakikita ang iglesyang nabubuhay sa mga huling araw,

Now, she is applying this to the Millerite History, but notice what she is saying—"Here is brought to view the church living in the last days,"—who is "the church living in the last days"? That is us.

Bubiy, waxay tan ku dabaqaysaa Taariikhda Millerite-ka, laakiin u fiirsada waxa ay leedahay—“Halkan waxaa lagu soo bandhigayaa kaniisadda nool maalmaha ugu dambeeya,”—yaa ah “kaniisadda nool maalmaha ugu dambeeya”? Taasu waa innaga.

"The same that is pointed out in the close of chapter 24. In this parable their experience is illustrated by the incidents of an Eastern marriage. 'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.'"

Ceea ce este arătat și la încheierea capitolului 24. În această parabolă, experiența lor este ilustrată prin întâmplările unei căsătorii răsăritene. „Atunci împărăția cerurilor se va asemăna cu zece fecioare, care și-au luat candelele și au ieșit în întâmpinarea mirelui. Cinci dintre ele erau înțelepte, iar cinci erau nechibzuite. Cele nechibzuite și-au luat candelele, dar n-au luat cu ele untdelemn; însă cele înțelepte au luat untdelemn în vasele lor, împreună cu candelele. Fiindcă mirele zăbovea, au ațipit toate și au adormit. La miezul nopții s-a auzit o strigare: Iată, mirele vine; ieșiți-i în întâmpinare.”

"The coming of Christ, as announced by the first angel's message, was understood to be represented by the coming of the bridegroom. The widespread reformation under the proclamation of His soon coming corresponded to the going forth of the virgins. In this parable, as in Matthew 24, two classes are represented. All had taken their lamps, the Bible, and by its light had gone forth to meet the Bridegroom. But while the foolish took their lamps without oil, the wise took oil in their vessels. The wise had received the grace of God, the regenerating, enlightening power of the Holy Spirit, which made His word a lamp to their feet. They studied the Scriptures to learn the truth and earnestly sought purity of heart and life. These had a personal experience and faith in God and His word, which could not be overthrown by disappointment and delay. Others moved from impulse, depending on the faith of their brethren, satisfied with good emotions but lacking a thorough understanding of the truth or a genuine work of grace. They were not prepared for delay and disappointment. When trials came, their faith failed, and their lights burned dim.

ქრისტეს მოსვლა, როგორც იგი პირველი ანგელოზის უწყებით იყო გამოცხადებული, გაგებული იქნა, რომ იგი სასიძოს მოსვლით იყო წარმოდგენილი. მისი მალე მოსვლის ქადაგების შედეგად აღმოცენებული ფართო რეფორმაცია შეესაბამებოდა ქალწულთა გამოსვლას. ამ იგავშიც, როგორც მათეს 24-ში, წარმოდგენილია ორი ჯგუფი. ყველას აეღო თავისი ლამპარი — ბიბლია — და მისი შუქით გამოვიდა სასიძოს შესახვედრად. მაგრამ მაშინ, როდესაც უგუნურებმა თავიანთი ლამპრები ზეთის გარეშე აიღეს, ბრძენებმა თავიანთ ჭურჭელში ზეთი წაიღეს. ბრძენებმა მიიღეს ღვთის მადლი — სულიწმიდის აღმდგენი და განმანათლებელი ძალა, რომელმაც მისი სიტყვა მათი ფეხებისთვის ლამპრად აქცია. ისინი სწავლობდნენ წმინდა წერილებს, რათა ჭეშმარიტება შეეცნოთ, და გულმოდგინედ ეძიებდნენ გულისა და ცხოვრების სიწმინდეს. მათ ჰქონდათ პირადი გამოცდილება და რწმენა ღმერთისა და მისი სიტყვის მიმართ, რომლის დამხობაც იმედგაცრუებასა და დაყოვნებას არ შეეძლო. სხვები მოქმედებდნენ მხოლოდ იმპულსით, თავიანთი ძმების რწმენაზე იყვნენ დამოკიდებულნი, კეთილ გრძნობებით კმაყოფილდებოდნენ, მაგრამ მოკლებულნი იყვნენ ჭეშმარიტების საფუძვლიან შემეცნებასა და მადლის ჭეშმარიტ მოქმედებას. ისინი დაყოვნებისა და იმედგაცრუებისთვის მზად არ იყვნენ. როცა განსაცდელები მოვიდა, მათი რწმენა დაეცა და მათი ლამპრები მკრთალად იწვოდა.

"While the bridegroom tarried," When did the Bridegroom tarry? March 22, 1844. He tarries. What is going to happen now? These two classes are going to be manifested.

« Pendant que l’Époux tardait », quand l’Époux a-t-Il tardé ? Le 22 mars 1844. Il tarde. Que va-t-il se passer maintenant ? Ces deux classes vont être manifestées.

When we forget the Midnight Cry and fall off the path to the wicked world below, we show we do not understand the Gospel. The Everlasting Gospel is the work of Christ in producing two classes of worshippers, based on a testing prophetic message. From the tarrying time to the closing of the door, this is the climax of the Everlasting Gospel. Here, the Lord takes two classes in the tarrying time, seeking to lead them into the Judgment with Himself, and puts them through a testing process to prove whether they genuinely have oil or not. This is the climax of Christ's work of separating the gold from the dross, the wheat from the tares, the wise from the foolish.

जब हम मध्यरात्रि की पुकार को भूल जाते हैं और नीचे की दुष्ट दुनिया की ओर जाने वाले मार्ग से गिर पड़ते हैं, तब हम प्रकट करते हैं कि हम सुसमाचार को नहीं समझते। सनातन सुसमाचार मसीह का वह कार्य है जिसमें वह एक परखने वाले भविष्यवाणी-संदेश के आधार पर उपासकों के दो वर्ग उत्पन्न करता है। विलंब के समय से द्वार बंद होने तक, यही सनातन सुसमाचार का चरमोत्कर्ष है। यहाँ प्रभु विलंब के समय में दो वर्गों को लेता है, उन्हें अपने साथ न्याय में ले चलने का प्रयत्न करता है, और उन्हें एक परखने की प्रक्रिया से गुज़ारता है ताकि यह सिद्ध हो जाए कि उनके पास वास्तव में तेल है या नहीं। यही मसीह के उस कार्य का चरमोत्कर्ष है जिसमें वह सोने को मैल से, गेहूँ को जंगली घास से, बुद्धिमानों को मूर्खों से अलग करता है।

"While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.' By the tarrying of the bridegroom is represented the passing of the time when the Lord was expected, the disappointment, and the seeming delay. In this time of uncertainty, the interest of the superficial and halfhearted soon began to waver, and their efforts to relax; but those whose faith was based on a personal knowledge of the Bible had a rock beneath their feet, which the waves of disappointment could not wash away. 'They all slumbered and slept;' one class in unconcern and abandonment of their faith, the other class patiently waiting till clearer light should be given. Yet in the night of trial the latter seemed to lose, to some extent, their zeal and devotion. The halfhearted and superficial could no longer lean upon the faith of their brethren. Each must stand or fall for himself."

When the disappointment came, two classes began to sleep differently; but even the wise virgins lost some of their zeal. The Lord was leading in this, so that when the Midnight Cry message came at the Exeter Camp Meeting, He would accomplish a work among them.

Kapag dumating ang kabiguan, ang dalawang uri ay nagsimulang matulog sa magkaibang paraan; ngunit maging ang mga pantas na dalaga ay nawalan din ng bahagi ng kanilang sigasig. Ang Panginoon ang nangunguna rito, upang nang dumating ang mensahe ng Sigaw sa Hatinggabi sa Exeter Camp Meeting, maisakatuparan Niya ang isang gawain sa gitna nila.

The Testing Process: The Tarrying Time and the Midnight Cry

Le processus d’épreuve : le temps d’attente et le cri de minuit

From Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, page 228: Remember that this process—the Midnight Cry, from the Tarrying Time to the closing of the door—is the Lord testing His people. The Midnight Cry at the Exeter Camp Meeting, in its proclamation until October 22, 1844, is just one part of that history. It cannot be separated from the tarrying time, which prepares for the effect of the Midnight Cry among the two classes of worshippers. You must understand the Midnight Cry, because if you do not, you fall off the path.

স্পিরিট অব প্রফেসি, খণ্ড ৪, পৃষ্ঠা ২২৮ থেকে: স্মরণে রেখো যে এই প্রক্রিয়াটি—মধ্যরাত্রির ধ্বনি, বিলম্বের সময় থেকে দ্বারবন্ধ হওয়া পর্যন্ত—প্রভু তাঁর জনগণকে পরীক্ষা করছেন। এক্সেটার শিবির-সম্মেলনে উচ্চারিত মধ্যরাত্রির ধ্বনি, ২২ অক্টোবর, ১৮৪৪ পর্যন্ত তার ঘোষণায়, সেই ইতিহাসের মাত্র একটি অংশ। এটিকে বিলম্বের সময় থেকে পৃথক করা যায় না, যে সময় উপাসনাকারীদের দুই শ্রেণির মধ্যে মধ্যরাত্রির ধ্বনির প্রভাবের জন্য প্রস্তুতি সাধন করে। তোমাদের অবশ্যই মধ্যরাত্রির ধ্বনি বুঝতে হবে, কারণ যদি তা না বোঝো, তবে তোমরা পথ থেকে বিচ্যুত হবে।

"God designed to prove his people. His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods. His hand, the Lord's hand, covered a singular mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods", in the plural. "Adventists did not discover the error, nor was it discovered by the most learned of their opponents. The latter said, 'Your reckoning of the prophetic periods is correct. Some great event is about to take place; but it is not what Mr. Miller predicts; it is the conversion of the world, and not the second advent of Christ.'"

Nkulunkulu wayehlose ukuvivinya abantu bakhe. Isandla sakhe sasimboze iphutha ekubalweni kwezikhathi zesiprofetho. Isandla sakhe, isandla seNkosi, sasimboze iphutha elilodwa elikhethekile ekubalweni kwezikhathi zesiprofetho, ngokobuningi. “Ama-Adventist awazange alithole lelo phutha, futhi alizange litholwe ngisho nayizazi ezifunde kakhulu phakathi kwabaphikisi bawo. Laba bokugcina bathi, ‘Ukubalwa kwenu kwezikhathi zesiprofetho kulungile. Kukhona umcimbi omkhulu osuzokwenzeka; kodwa akusikho lokho uMnu. Miller akubikezelayo; kungukuphenduka komhlaba, hhayi ukuza kwesibili kukaKristu.’”

The time of expectation passed, and Christ did not appear for the deliverance of His people. Those who had looked for their Saviour with sincere faith and love experienced a bitter disappointment. Yet the Lord had accomplished His purpose: He had tested the hearts of those who professed to be waiting for His appearing. Among them were many who had been motivated by fear rather than love for the truth. When the expected event failed to take place, these persons declared they were not disappointed; they had never believed that Christ would come. They were among the first to ridicule the sorrow of the true believers.

Le temps de l’attente passa, et le Christ n’apparut pas pour la délivrance de son peuple. Ceux qui avaient attendu leur Sauveur avec une foi et un amour sincères éprouvèrent une amère déception. Pourtant, le Seigneur avait accompli son dessein: il avait mis à l’épreuve le cœur de ceux qui professaient attendre son apparition. Parmi eux se trouvaient beaucoup de personnes qui avaient été poussées par la crainte plutôt que par l’amour de la vérité. Lorsque l’événement attendu ne se produisit pas, ces personnes déclarèrent qu’elles n’étaient pas déçues; elles n’avaient jamais cru que le Christ viendrait. Elles furent parmi les premières à tourner en dérision la douleur des vrais croyants.

This was the Lord's purpose. We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we forget how the Lord has led us in our past experience, and nothing to fear except we forget the Lord's teachings in our past experience. We are suggesting you cannot separate this leading from His teaching.

Ceci était le dessein du Seigneur. Nous n’avons rien à craindre pour l’avenir, sinon d’oublier comment le Seigneur nous a conduits dans notre expérience passée, et nous n’avons rien à craindre, sinon d’oublier les enseignements du Seigneur dans notre expérience passée. Nous affirmons qu’il est impossible de séparer cette direction de son enseignement.

Life Sketches of James White and Ellen G. White 1888, pages 186–187: "God tested and proved his people by the passing of the time in 1843. The mistake—a singular mistake—they made in reckoning the prophetic periods was not at once discovered even by learned men who opposed the views of those who were looking for Christ's coming. These profound scholars declared that Mr. Miller was right in his calculation of the time, though they disputed him in regard to the event that would crown that period. But they, and the waiting people of God, were in a common error on the question of time.

Life Sketches of James White and Ellen G. White 1888, pages 186–187 : « Dieu éprouva et mit son peuple à l’épreuve par l’écoulement du temps en 1843. L’erreur — une erreur singulière — qu’ils commirent dans le calcul des périodes prophétiques ne fut pas immédiatement découverte, même par des hommes instruits qui s’opposaient aux vues de ceux qui attendaient la venue du Christ. Ces éminents savants déclarèrent que M. Miller avait raison dans son calcul du temps, bien qu’ils le contredissent quant à l’événement qui devait couronner cette période. Mais eux, ainsi que le peuple de Dieu dans l’attente, partageaient une même erreur sur la question du temps. »

"We fully believe that God, in His wisdom, designed that His people should meet with a disappointment, which was well calculated to reveal hearts and develop true characters—not only to reveal their hearts but to develop their characters, bringing it to a point where it would be demonstrated in the crisis that comes at the Midnight Cry. Those who embraced the first angel's message through fear of God's judgments, not because they loved the truth and desired an inheritance in the kingdom of heaven, now appeared in their true light. They were among the first to ridicule the disappointed ones who sincerely longed for and loved the appearing of Jesus. This most searching test of God revealed the true characters of those who would shirk responsibility and stigma by denying their faith in the hour of trial.

“Tunaukubali kwa ukamilifu kwamba Mungu, katika hekima Yake, alikusudia kwamba watu Wake wakutane na kukatishwa tamaa, jambo ambalo lilikuwa limekusudiwa vema kufunua mioyo na kukuza tabia za kweli—si kufunua mioyo yao tu, bali pia kukuza tabia zao, na kulifikisha kwenye hatua ambayo ingebainika katika msukosuko unaokuja wakati wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Wale walioukubali ujumbe wa malaika wa kwanza kwa hofu ya hukumu za Mungu, wala si kwa sababu waliipenda kweli na kutamani urithi katika ufalme wa mbinguni, sasa walionekana katika hali yao ya kweli. Walikuwa miongoni mwa wa kwanza kuwadhihaki wale waliokatishwa tamaa ambao kwa unyofu walitamani na kuipenda kuonekana kwa Yesu. Jaribio hili la Mungu, lenye kuchunguza kwa undani mno, lilifunua tabia za kweli za wale ambao wangekwepa wajibu na fedheha kwa kuikana imani yao katika saa ya majaribu.”

Those who had been disappointed were not left in darkness; for in searching the prophetic periods with earnest prayers, the error was discovered—the singular error—and the tracing of the prophetic pencil down through the tarrying time. In the joyful expectation of the coming of Christ, the apparent tarrying of the vision had not been taken into account, and was a sad and unlooked-for surprise. Yet this very trial was highly necessary to develop and strengthen the sincere believers in the truth. The tarrying time was highly necessary. It not only was going to demonstrate the two classes and begin to develop their characters that would be demonstrated in the history of the Midnight Cry to the closing of the door, but it was necessary to strengthen those who would come out on the right side of the issue. You cannot separate the tarrying time from the Midnight Cry or the closing of the door.

When you deny the Midnight Cry, you are denying that very history. The Midnight Cry is not just the message of Samuel Snow at the Exeter Camp Meeting; it is the experience of the tarrying time. This is where the Lord was leading. We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we forget the Lord's leading in our past history—this history of the tarrying time and the Midnight Cry, where He brings to a climax the Everlasting Gospel in the Millerite History, producing two classes of worshippers.

Lorsque vous niez le Cri de Minuit, vous niez cette histoire même. Le Cri de Minuit n’est pas simplement le message de Samuel Snow au camp-meeting d’Exeter ; il est l’expérience du temps d’attente. C’est là que le Seigneur conduisait. Nous n’avons rien à craindre pour l’avenir, sinon d’oublier la direction du Seigneur dans notre histoire passée — cette histoire du temps d’attente et du Cri de Minuit, où Il porte à son point culminant l’Évangile éternel dans l’histoire millérite, produisant deux catégories d’adorateurs.

Early Writings, page 74: "I have seen that the 1843 chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and that it should not be altered; that the figures were as He wanted them; that His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until His hand was removed."

Écrits précoces, page 74 : « J’ai vu que le tableau de 1843 avait été dirigé par la main du Seigneur, et qu’il ne devait pas être modifié ; que les chiffres étaient tels qu’Il les voulait ; que Sa main était étendue sur eux et avait caché une erreur dans certains des chiffres, de sorte que personne ne pouvait la voir, jusqu’à ce que Sa main fût retirée. »

The Mystery of Iniquity and the Testing Process

神秘の不法と試みの過程

If we had time, we could discuss the mystery of iniquity. The mystery of iniquity can have more than one correct definition, but here it refers to the work of Satan in mixing evil with good, truth with error, in the sacred histories where the Lord tests His people. In the sacred histories of Scripture where the Lord brings His people to a testing process, you will always see the mystery of iniquity—the activity of Satan in mixing truth with error. When people come to this testing point, the mystery of iniquity has clouded the issues.

જો અમારી પાસે સમય હોત, તો અમે અધર્મના રહસ્ય અંગે ચર્ચા કરી શકતાં. અધર્મના રહસ્યની એક કરતાં વધુ યોગ્ય વ્યાખ્યાઓ હોઈ શકે, પરંતુ અહીં તેનો અર્થ એ છે કે પવિત્ર ઇતિહાસોમાં, જ્યાં પ્રભુ પોતાની પ્રજાની પરીક્ષા કરે છે, ત્યાં શેતાન સારા સાથે બુરાઈ અને સત્ય સાથે ભૂલનું મિશ્રણ કરે છે—તેનું કાર્ય. પવિત્ર શાસ્ત્રના તે પવિત્ર ઇતિહાસોમાં, જ્યાં પ્રભુ પોતાની પ્રજાને પરીક્ષાની પ્રક્રિયામાં લાવે છે, ત્યાં તમે હંમેશા અધર્મનું રહસ્ય જોશો—સત્યને ભૂલ સાથે મિશ્રિત કરવામાં શેતાનની પ્રવૃત્તિ. જ્યારે લોકો આ પરીક્ષાના બિંદુએ આવે છે, ત્યારે અધર્મના રહસ્યે મુદ્દાઓને ધૂંધળા બનાવી દીધા હોય છે.

When Noah's testing time came, the Bible tells us the seed of Satan had been mixed with the seed of God prior to that. This is what caused the mystery of iniquity to be fulfilled in the time of Noah, expressed in Genesis as the sons of God taking the daughters of men as wives—the mixing of the two seeds, the mystery of iniquity that precedes the test of Noah.

Amikor elérkezett Noé megpróbáltatásának ideje, a Biblia elmondja nekünk, hogy azelőtt a Sátán magva összekeveredett az Isten magvával. Ez okozta, hogy a törvényszegés titka beteljesedjék Noé idejében, amely a Teremtés könyvében úgy jut kifejezésre, hogy az Isten fiai feleségül vették az emberek leányait — a két mag összekeveredése, a törvényszegés titka, amely megelőzi Noé próbáját.

At the test of Moses and the Red Sea, Scripture describes how Israel, who would be tested at the Red Sea and at Sinai, had been corrupted by the teachings of Egypt after being there so long. That was the mystery of iniquity—being influenced by satanic teachings.

ኣብ ፈተና ሙሴን ቀይሕ ባሕርን፡ ቅዱስ ጽሑፍ ከም ዝገልጽዎ፡ እስራኤል፡ ኣብ ቀይሕ ባሕሪን ኣብ ሲናን ክፍተኑ ዝነበሩ፡ ኣብ ግብጺ እዋን ነዊሕ ስለ ዝቐመጡ፡ ብትምህርቲ ግብጺ ተበላሽዮም ነበሩ። እቲ ምስጢር ዓመፃ እዚ እዩ—ብሰይጣናዊ ትምህርትታት ምጽላው።

In the time of the Jews, it was Greek teachings that prepared the way for the Sanhedrin to reject their testing process.

Ao tempo dos judeus, foram os ensinos gregos que prepararam o caminho para que o Sinédrio rejeitasse o seu processo de prova.

In the Millerite history, the Millerites in the Protestant churches had just come out of 1260 years of Papal influence, which corrupted the pure seed with the impure seed, producing a mystery of iniquity that preceded the test of the Millerite History.

Dans l’histoire millérite, les millérites des Églises protestantes venaient tout juste de sortir de 1260 années d’influence papale, laquelle avait corrompu la semence pure par la semence impure, produisant un mystère d’iniquité qui précéda l’épreuve de l’histoire millérite.

That is the mystery of iniquity that is always present.

Seo é rúndiamhair na héagóra atá i láthair i gcónaí.

If you study how the mystery of iniquity works, go to Patriarchs and Prophets, the first chapter. Sister White tells us how Satan accomplished the mystery of iniquity in Heaven. There was going to be a test in Heaven about which angels would stay and which would be removed, and Satan was accomplishing the mystery of iniquity right there in Heaven prior to that testing process.

Ikiwa utajifunza jinsi siri ya uovu inavyofanya kazi, nenda kwenye Patriarchs and Prophets, sura ya kwanza. Dada White anatuambia jinsi Shetani alivyotimiza siri ya uovu Mbinguni. Kulikuwapo na jaribio Mbinguni kuhusu ni malaika gani wangebaki na ni gani wangeondolewa, na Shetani alikuwa akitimiza siri ya uovu humo Mbinguni kabla ya mchakato huo wa kupimwa.

Satan did this by insinuating doubt, placing his word above God's Word, and more importantly, by leading others to express his false teachings—a sinister activity. He would place doubt in your mind, and then you would go out and express that doubt to a group. If anyone complained about the doubt, they would complain about you, not about him.

Satan a fait cela en insinuant le doute, en plaçant sa parole au-dessus de la Parole de Dieu et, plus important encore, en amenant d’autres à exprimer ses faux enseignements — une activité sinistre. Il introduirait le doute dans votre esprit, puis vous iriez exprimer ce doute devant un groupe. Si quelqu’un se plaignait de ce doute, il se plaindrait de vous, et non de lui.

Recently, a pastor in Spokane, Washington, commented on Early Writings, page 74, saying, "I went to the dictionary of Ellen White's day and age, the Webster's Dictionary, and figures does not mean anything to do with arithmetic." Most people who heard that would not check it out and would believe him. At minimum, that pastor was sowing doubt about what the figures represent in this passage; in reality, he was lying. Webster's 1828 Dictionary says: FIGURE, n. In arithmetic, a character denoting a number, as 2, 7, 9.

Nokutshi nje, umfundisi othile eSpokane, eWashington, waphawula nge-Early Writings, ikhasi 74, ethi, “Ngaya kusichazamazwi sosuku nesikhathi sika-Ellen White, i-Webster’s Dictionary, futhi figures akusho lutho oluhlobene nezibalo.” Iningi labantu elalizokuzwa lokho belingeke likuhlole, futhi belizomkholwa. Okungenani, lowo mfundisi wayehlwanyela ukungabaza mayelana nalokho lezi zibalo ezimele kona kulesi siqephu; empeleni, wayeqamba amanga. Webster’s 1828 Dictionary ithi: FIGURE, n. Ezibalweni, uphawu olubonisa inani, njengokuthi 2, 7, 9.

He was expressing doubt, doing the work represented as the mystery of iniquity. He was identifying for Adventists, if they are willing to see, that in this time in Earth's history, you must understand the truth for yourself and not listen to human beings; because, ". . . the mystery of iniquity doth already work: . . . ."

Il exprimait le doute, accomplissant l’œuvre représentée comme le mystère d’iniquité. Il montrait aux Adventistes, s’ils sont disposés à le voir, qu’en ce moment de l’histoire de la terre, vous devez comprendre la vérité par vous-mêmes et ne pas écouter des êtres humains; car « . . . le mystère d’iniquité agit déjà : . . . ».

Early Writings, page 74: ". . . that the figures were as He wanted them, that His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until His hand was removed."

Écrits anciens, page 74 : « . . . que les chiffres étaient tels qu’Il les voulait, que Sa main était étendue dessus et cachait une erreur dans certains des chiffres, de sorte que nul ne pouvait la voir, jusqu’à ce que Sa main fût retirée. »

It is misdirection, and theologians often do it. If you want to understand what a word means in the Bible or the Spirit of Prophecy, you do not look to the dictionaries first; you look to the prophet. For example, Daniel uses the Hebrew word rum in Daniel 8:11, translated as "taken away." People think it means "removed," but Daniel uses rum five other times, and it never means "take away"—it means "to lift up and exalt." So, to think rum in Daniel 8:11 means "take away" is to follow tradition, not how Daniel used the word.

Yoo dogoggora, akkasumas hayyoonni amantii yeroo baayʼee akkas ni godhu. Yoo hiikni jecha tokkoo Macaafa Qulqulluu keessatti yookaan Hafuura Raajii keessatti maal akka taʼe hubachuu barbaadde, jalqaba gara galmee jechootaa miti kan ilaaltu; gara raajichaa ilaalta. Fakkeenyaaf, Daaniʼel Daaniʼel 8:11 keessatti jecha Ibrootaa rum jedhamu fayyadama; inni “taken away” jedhamee hiikameera. Namoonni hiikni isaa “removed” akka taʼe yaadu. Garuu Daaniʼel rum yeroo shan kan biraa fayyadameera, yeroo tokkollee hiikni isaa “take away” miti—hiikni isaa “ol kaasuudhaa fi ulfeessuudha.” Kanaafuu, rum inni Daaniʼel 8:11 keessatti fayyadame “take away” jechuu isaati jechuun aadaa duudhaa hordofuudha malee, akka Daaniʼel jecha sana itti fayyadame hordofuu miti.

Similarly, with Ellen White: If you want to claim that in Early Writings, 74, "figures" means art figures or graphics, you might say, "The dictionary in Ellen White's day does not say figures mean arithmetic," trusting that most people will not check. But if they did, they would find that figures do mean arithmetic.

Menm jan an tou, konsènan Ellen White: Si ou vle fè konnen ke nan Early Writings, 74, “figures” vle di desen oswa imaj grafik, ou ta ka di: “Diksyonè nan epòk Ellen White la pa di figures vle di aritmetik,” avèk konfyans ke pifò moun pap verifye sa. Men si yo ta verifye l, yo t ap jwenn ke figures vrèman vle di aritmetik.

But the first place you go is to Ellen White herself: What does she mean by figures? In Early Writings, page 74, she says, "His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures," and on page 236 she says, "His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods." The prophetess identifies that her terminology, figures, represents the prophetic periods—the arithmetic, not the artwork.

Mais le premier endroit où l’on se tourne, c’est vers Ellen White elle-même : qu’entend-elle par « chiffres » ? Dans Premiers écrits, page 74, elle dit : « Sa main était étendue et cachait une erreur dans quelques-uns des chiffres », et à la page 236 elle dit : « Sa main couvrait une erreur dans le calcul des périodes prophétiques. » La prophétesse indique que, dans sa terminologie, les chiffres désignent les périodes prophétiques — le calcul, non l’illustration.

So, what did the Lord hold His hand over? He held His hand over a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods—the figures.

Так над чым жа Гасподзь трымаў Сваю руку? Ён трымаў Сваю руку над памылкай у вылічэнні прарочых перыядаў — над лічбамі.

Ellen White's Endorsement of the 2520

L’Approbation par Ellen White des 2520

This is the punch line. Many are presenting the same message we are, and I support them. But when it comes to the 2520 and whether Ellen White believed it was a valid prophecy, this is the argument—this is the proof and where you should start. All other arguments are valid and true, but this is the starting point.

Voici le point décisif. Nombreux sont ceux qui présentent le même message que nous, et je les soutiens. Mais lorsqu’il s’agit du 2520 et de savoir si Ellen White croyait qu’il s’agissait d’une prophétie valable, voici l’argument — voici la preuve, et c’est par là qu’il faut commencer. Tous les autres arguments sont valables et vrais, mais ceci est le point de départ.

In Early Writings, page 74, where it says the Lord held His hand over a mistake in some of the figures, she defines what that means in the same book, on page 236: "I saw the people of God joyful in expectation, looking for their Lord. But God designed to prove them." She is talking about the Tarrying Time, the first disappointment.

Dans Early Writings, à la page 74, là où il est dit que le Seigneur tint Sa main sur une erreur dans certains des chiffres, elle définit ce que cela signifie dans le même livre, à la page 236 : « Je vis le peuple de Dieu, joyeux dans l’attente, regardant à son Seigneur. Mais Dieu avait dessein de les éprouver. » Elle parle du Temps de retard, de la première déception.

She is not talking about the Disappointment on October 22, 1844, because they are going to be proved there too; but here she is talking about the tarrying time: "God designed to prove them." "His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods." How was He going to prove them by the tarrying time? By holding His hand over their understanding of the prophetic periods. You have nothing to fear for the future, except as we forget how the Lord has led us in the past, in the history of the Millerites and His teachings.

Elle ne parle pas de la Déception du 22 octobre 1844, car là aussi ils devaient être éprouvés; mais ici, elle parle du temps d’attente: «Dieu avait dessein de les éprouver.» «Sa main couvrit une erreur dans le calcul des périodes prophétiques.» Comment allait-Il les éprouver par le temps d’attente? En tenant Sa main sur leur compréhension des périodes prophétiques. Vous n’avez rien à craindre pour l’avenir, si ce n’est dans la mesure où nous oublierions comment le Seigneur nous a conduits dans le passé, dans l’histoire des millérites et dans Ses enseignements.

These prophetic periods are the teachings that produced the tarrying time. "His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods. Those who were looking for their Lord did not discover this mistake,"—singular mistake—"and the most learned men who opposed the time also failed to see it. God designed that His people should meet with a disappointment. The time passed, and those who had looked with joyful expectation for their Saviour were sad and disheartened, while those who had not loved the appearing of Jesus, but embraced the message through fear, were pleased that He did not come at the time of expectation. Their profession had not affected the heart and purified the life. The passing of the time was well calculated to reveal such hearts. They were the first to turn and ridicule the sorrowful, disappointed ones who really loved the appearing of their Saviour. I saw the wisdom of God in proving His people and giving them a searching test to discover those who would shrink and turn back in the hour of trial.

Tugun nämä profeetalliset ajanjaksot ovat ne opetukset, jotka synnyttivät viivytyksen ajan. “Hänen kätensä peitti erehdyksen profeetallisten ajanjaksojen laskennassa. Ne, jotka odottivat Herraansa, eivät havainneet tätä erehdystä” — yksi ainoa erehdys — “eivätkä myöskään oppineimmat miehet, jotka vastustivat tätä aikaa, kyenneet sitä näkemään. Jumala tarkoitti, että Hänen kansansa kohtaisi pettymyksen. Aika kului, ja ne, jotka olivat odottaneet Vapahtajaansa iloisin odotuksin, olivat murheellisia ja lannistuneita, kun taas ne, jotka eivät olleet rakastaneet Jeesuksen ilmestymistä vaan olivat omaksuneet sanoman pelosta, olivat tyytyväisiä siihen, ettei Hän tullut odotettuna aikana. Heidän tunnustuksensa ei ollut vaikuttanut sydämeen eikä puhdistanut elämää. Ajan kuluminen oli tarkoin laskettu paljastamaan tällaiset sydämet. He olivat ensimmäisiä kääntymään pois ja pilkkaamaan murheellisia, pettyneitä niitä, jotka todella rakastivat Vapahtajansa ilmestymistä. Näin Jumalan viisauden siinä, että Hän koetteli kansaansa ja antoi sille tutkivan koetuksen paljastaakseen ne, jotka koetuksen hetkellä vetäytyisivät pois ja kääntyisivät takaisin.

Jesus and all the heavenly host looked with sympathy and love upon those who had with sweet expectation longed to see Him whom their souls loved. Angels were hovering around them, to sustain them in the hour of their trial. Those who had neglected to receive the heavenly message were left in darkness, and God's anger was kindled against them, because they would not receive the light which He had sent them from heaven. Those faithful, disappointed ones, who could not understand why their Lord did not come, were not left in darkness. Again they were led to their Bibles to search the prophetic periods. The hand of the Lord was removed from the figures, and the mistake—singular—was explained.

Yesus na chumbu chonse cha kumwamba anayang’ana ndi chifundo ndi chikondi pa iwo amene, ndi chiyembekezo chokoma, analakalaka kuona Iye amene miyoyo yawo inamukonda. Angelo anali kuzungulira iwo, kuwathandiza pa nthawi ya mayesero awo. Iwo amene ananyalanyaza kulandira uthenga wakumwamba anasiyidwa mu mdima, ndipo mkwiyo wa Mulungu unayaka pa iwo, chifukwa sanafune kulandira kuunika kumene Iye anawatumizira kuchokera kumwamba. Okhulupirika aja, ngakhale anakhumudwitsidwa, amene sakanatha kumvetsa chifukwa chake Ambuye wawo sanabwere, sanasiyidwe mu mdima. Kachiwiri anatsogoleredwa ku Mabaibulo awo kuti afufuze nthawi za uneneri. Dzanja la Ambuye linachotsedwa pa ziwerengerozo, ndipo kulakwikako—kumodzi kokha—kunafotokozedwa.

Here she explains the mistake in the figures on the 1843 Chart, and she has already defined that the figures represent the prophetic periods. "They saw that the prophetic periods reached to 1844, and that the same evidence which they had presented to show that the prophetic periods closed in 1843, proved that they would terminate in 1844." End of discussion! Ellen White places her seal of approval on the 2520.

Ici, elle explique l’erreur contenue dans les chiffres du Tableau de 1843, et elle a déjà établi que ces chiffres représentent les périodes prophétiques. « Ils virent que les périodes prophétiques s’étendaient jusqu’en 1844, et que les mêmes preuves qu’ils avaient présentées pour montrer que les périodes prophétiques prenaient fin en 1843 démontraient qu’elles s’achèveraient en 1844. » Fin de la discussion ! Ellen White appose son sceau d’approbation sur le 2520.

There are only three prophetic periods on the 1843 Chart that they understood ended in 1843: The 1335, the 2520, and the 2300. God held His hand over a mistake in some of the figures—the prophetic periods on this Chart—until His hand was removed. When He removed His hand, the faithful waiting ones were led to study the prophetic periods again and found that the same evidence that led them to present that the prophetic periods closed in 1843 was then recognized to prove that two ended in 1844.

There are only three prophetic periods on the 1843 Chart that they understood ended in 1843: The 1335, the 2520, and the 2300. God held His hand over a mistake in some of the figures—the prophetic periods on this Chart—until His hand was removed. When He removed His hand, the faithful waiting ones were led to study the prophetic periods again and found that the same evidence that led them to present that the prophetic periods closed in 1843 was then recognized to prove that two ended in 1844.

The 1335 begins in 508 and ends in 1843. The 2520 begins in 677BC and is impacted by the fullness of the year. The Pioneers thought it ended in 1843, but later understood that the same evidence that led them to predict 1843 proved that the 2520 prophecy ended in 1844. The 2300 prophecy begins in 457BC, and they had thought it ended in 1843, but after the disappointment, through their study of the prophetic periods, they realized it ended in 1844.

1335을은 508년에 시작하여 1843년에 끝난다. 2520은 기원전 677년에 시작하며, 한 해의 충만함의 영향을 받는다. 선구자들은 그것이 1843년에 끝난다고 생각했으나, 후에 1843년을 예언하도록 그들을 이끌었던 바로 그 동일한 증거가 2520 예언이 1844년에 끝났음을 입증한다는 것을 깨달았다. 2300 예언은 기원전 457년에 시작하며, 그들은 그것이 1843년에 끝난다고 생각했지만, 대실망 후 예언 기간들에 대한 그들의 연구를 통하여 그것이 1844년에 끝났음을 깨달았다.

There are only three prophecies they predicted would end in 1843, and one of them does: the 1335. This prophecy is not the one the Lord held His hand over. It identifies the history of the Millerites from the Tarrying Time, through the Midnight Cry, up to October 22, 1844.

يوجد ثلاث نبوءات فقط كانوا قد تنبأوا بأنها ستنتهي في سنة 1843، وإحداها تنتهي فعلًا: الـ1335. وهذه النبوءة ليست هي التي بسط الرب يده عليها. فهي تحدد تاريخ الميليّريين من زمن التريث، مرورًا بصراخ منتصف الليل، حتى 22 أكتوبر 1844.

In yesterday's presentation, we ended with this quote from Ellen White: "Blessed are the eyes which saw the things that were seen in 1843 and 1844." This is "Blessed is he who comes to 1843." In the next paragraph, she says, "The message was given. And there should be no delay in repeating the message, for the signs of the times are fulfilling; the closing work must be done. A great work will be done in a short time. A message will soon be given by God's appointment that will swell into a loud cry. Then Daniel will stand in his lot, to give his testimony." Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 437.

An der gestrigen Präsentation schlossen wir mit diesem Zitat von Ellen White: „Gesegnet sind die Augen, die die Dinge sahen, die in den Jahren 1843 und 1844 gesehen wurden.“ Dies ist: „Gesegnet ist, wer zu 1843 kommt.“ Im nächsten Absatz sagt sie: „Die Botschaft wurde gegeben. Und es sollte kein Verzug sein, die Botschaft zu wiederholen; denn die Zeichen der Zeit erfüllen sich; das abschließende Werk muss getan werden. Ein großes Werk wird in kurzer Zeit getan werden. Bald wird nach Gottes Bestimmung eine Botschaft gegeben werden, die zu einem lauten Ruf anschwellen wird. Dann wird Daniel in seinem Los stehen, um sein Zeugnis zu geben.“ Manuscript Releases, Band 21, 437.

Daniel standing in his lot is verse 13 of Daniel 12. "Blessed are the eyes which saw the things that were seen in 1843 and 1844" is verse 12. Ellen White is giving divine commentary on Daniel 12:12–13, saying that these verses are not about a time prophecy, but about an experience that includes 1843 and 1844, produced by a misunderstanding of 1843 that produces a tarrying time. When the tarrying time comes, "Blessed is he who waiteth." Though the vision tarry, wait for it. Blessed is the one who faithfully waits from the Tarrying Time until the door is closed. What the faithful see in 1843 and 1844 is a blessing that leads him into the Most Holy Place.

ദാനീയേൽ തന്റെ നിയമിത അവകാശത്തിൽ നിലകൊള്ളുന്നതു ദാനീയേൽ 12-ലെ 13-ാം വാക്യമാണ്. “1843-ലും 1844-ലും കണ്ട കാര്യങ്ങളെ കണ്ട കണ്ണുകൾ ഭാഗ്യമുള്ളവയാണ്” എന്നത് 12-ാം വാക്യമാണ്. എലൻ വൈറ്റ് ദാനീയേൽ 12:12–13-നെക്കുറിച്ചു ദൈവിക വ്യാഖ്യാനം നല്കിക്കൊണ്ട്, ഈ വാക്യങ്ങൾ ഒരു കാലപ്രവചനത്തെക്കുറിച്ചല്ല, മറിച്ച് 1843-നോടനുബന്ധിച്ച തെറ്റിദ്ധാരണ മൂലം ഉളവായി താമസകാലം സൃഷ്ടിക്കുന്നതും 1843-യും 1844-യും ഉൾക്കൊള്ളുന്നതുമായ ഒരു അനുഭവത്തെക്കുറിച്ചാണെന്ന് പറയുന്നു. താമസകാലം വരുമ്പോൾ, “കാത്തിരിക്കുന്നവൻ ഭാഗ്യവാൻ.” ദർശനം താമസിച്ചാലും അതിന്നായി കാത്തിരിക്ക. താമസകാലം മുതൽ വാതിൽ അടയ്ക്കപ്പെടുന്നതുവരെ വിശ്വസ്തമായി കാത്തിരിക്കുന്നവൻ ഭാഗ്യവാനാകുന്നു. 1843-ലും 1844-ലും വിശ്വസ്തർ കാണുന്നതു, അവനെ അതിപരിശുദ്ധസ്ഥലത്തിലേക്കു നയിക്കുന്ന ഒരു അനുഗ്രഹമാണ്.

The 1335 prophecy ended in 1843, marking the arrival of the Midnight Cry. The 2520 and 2300 prophetic periods end in 1844. Ellen White says that the same evidence that led them to proclaim that the 2520, 2300, and 1335 ended in 1843 was then recognized to prove that they would terminate in 1844.

Profecia celor 1335 s-a încheiat în 1843, marcând sosirea Strigătului de la Miezul Nopții. Cele 2520 și 2300 de perioade profetice se încheie în 1844. Ellen White spune că aceleași dovezi care i-au condus să proclame că cele 2520, 2300 și 1335 se încheiau în 1843 au fost atunci recunoscute ca dovedind că ele aveau să se încheie în 1844.

"Light from the Word of God shone upon their position, and they discovered a tarrying time—'Though it [the vision] tarry, wait for it.' In their love for Christ's immediate coming, they had overlooked the tarrying of the vision, which was calculated to manifest the true waiting ones. Again they had a point of time. Yet I saw that many of them could not rise above their severe disappointment to possess that degree of zeal and energy which had marked their faith in 1843.

गॉड के वचन से निकला प्रकाश उनकी स्थिति पर चमका, और उन्होंने एक ठहरने का समय पाया—“यद्यपि वह [दर्शन] विलंब करे, तौभी उसकी बाट जोहते रहो।” मसीह के तत्काल आगमन के प्रति अपने प्रेम में उन्होंने दर्शन के उस विलंब को अनदेखा कर दिया था, जो सच्चे प्रतीक्षा करनेवालों को प्रगट करने के लिए ठहराया गया था। फिर उनके पास समय का एक निश्चित बिंदु था। तौभी मैंने देखा कि उनमें से बहुत-से अपनी गहन निराशा से ऊपर उठकर उस उत्साह और शक्ति को ग्रहण न कर सके, जिसने 1843 में उनके विश्वास को चिह्नित किया था।

"Satan and his angels triumphed over them, and those who would not receive the message congratulated themselves upon their farseeing judgment and wisdom in not receiving the delusion, as they called it. They did not realize that they were rejecting the counsel of God against themselves, and were working in union with Satan and his angels to perplex God's people, who were living out the heaven-sent message."

Satan da mala'ikunsa sun yi nasara a kansu, kuma waɗanda ba za su karɓi saƙon ba suka taya kansu murna saboda hangen nesa na nesa da hikimarsu wajen ƙin karɓar ruɗin nan, kamar yadda suka kira shi. Ba su gane cewa suna ƙin shawarar Allah a kan kansu ba, kuma suna aiki tare da jituwa da Satan da mala'ikunsa domin rikita mutanen Allah, waɗanda suke rayuwa bisa ga saƙon da aka aiko daga sama.

In this history, there are two classes of worshippers. The unfaithful class ridicules the waiting ones, but the waiting ones are led back to the prophetic periods and come to understand that the same evidence that led them to identify the conclusion of the 2520 and the 2300 in 1843 proved that they ended in 1844.

Nani cikin wannan tarihin akwai rukuni biyu na masu bauta. Rukuni marar aminci yana yi wa masu jira ba’a, amma ana komar da masu jiran zuwa ga lokutan annabci, kuma suna fahimtar cewa hujja ɗaya da ta sa suka gane cikar 2520 da 2300 a 1843 ita ce ta tabbatar cewa sun ƙare a 1844.

Even though the waiting ones recognized this, they were not as on fire for the Lord as before the first disappointment. They would be rekindled at the message of the Midnight Cry. The waiting ones had already understood 1844, the end of the prophecies, before the Midnight Cry.

Miye wen tagut ol i save long dispela, ol i no bin gat wankain strongpela laik long Bikpela olsem bipo long namba wan bikpela bel hevi. Ol bai kirap gen long strongpela spirit long tok bilong Biknait Krai. Bipo long Biknait Krai, ol tagut pinis i bin save pinis long 1844, em pinis bilong ol profesi.

The Midnight Cry message allowed the waiting ones to identify October 22, 1844. With that information, it was not just somewhere in 1844; it was on this very day, and that empowered the message.

Itangazo ryo mu Gicuku ryatumye abategereje bashobora kumenya ku wa 22 Ukwakira 1844. Hamwe n’ayo makuru, ntibyari gusa ko byari ahantu runaka mu mwaka wa 1844; ahubwo byari kuri uwo munsi nyir’izina, kandi ibyo ni byo byahaye ubutumwa imbaraga.

Do you see the process? The teachings that produce this experience are three prophecies: the 1335, the 2300, and the 2520.

Voyez-vous le processus ? Les enseignements qui produisent cette expérience sont trois prophéties : les 1335, les 2300 et les 2520.

After realizing this, they began proclaiming, "Come out of Babylon." This is the Second Angel's Message.

Apre yo te vin konprann sa, yo te kòmanse pwoklame: « Sòti nan Babilòn. » Sa a se mesaj dezyèm zanj lan.

Let us be clear: What ends at the tarrying time? The use of the 1843 Chart. They set this Chart aside because they now understood the Lord was coming in 1844, while the Chart said 1843. So, they set the Chart aside for the history of the Second Angel's Message.

Ti o dájú kí a sọ kedere: Kí ni ó parí ní àkókò ìdádúró náà? Ìlò Àwòrán-ìtòlẹ́sẹẹsẹ 1843. Wọ́n fi Àwòrán-ìtòlẹ́sẹẹsẹ yìí sí apá kan nítorí pé ní báyìí wọ́n ti lóye pé Olúwa ń bọ ní ọdún 1844, nígbà tí Àwòrán-ìtòlẹ́sẹẹsẹ náà sọ pé 1843. Nítorí náà, wọ́n fi Àwòrán-ìtòlẹ́sẹẹsẹ náà sí apá kan fún ìtàn Ìhìnrere Áńgẹ́lì Kejì náà.

What becomes their message in the history of the Second Angel? The last paragraph explains.

Quel devient leur message dans l’histoire du Deuxième Ange ? Le dernier paragraphe l’explique.

"The believers in this message were oppressed in the churches. For a time, those who would not receive the message were restrained by fear from acting out the sentiments of their hearts; but the passing of the time revealed their true feelings. They wished to silence the testimony which the waiting ones felt compelled to bear, that the prophetic periods extended to 1844."

Les croyants en ce message furent opprimés dans les Églises. Pendant un temps, ceux qui ne voulaient pas recevoir le message furent retenus par la crainte de manifester les sentiments de leur cœur; mais l’écoulement du temps révéla leurs véritables dispositions. Ils désiraient faire taire le témoignage que ceux qui attendaient se sentaient contraints de rendre, à savoir que les périodes prophétiques s’étendaient jusqu’en 1844.

What prophetic periods? The 2520 and the 2300. That is their message in this history. Now they are saying, "We get it! These prophecies extend to 1844." Their message in the history of the Midnight Cry is the 2520 and the 2300-year prophecies.

Waa raajiiwwan raajii maalii? 2520 fi 2300. Inni sun seenaa kana keessatti ergaa isaanii dha. Amma isaan, “Ni hubanne! Raajiiwwan kun hanga 1844 tti diriiru,” jedhu. Ergaan isaanii seenaa Iyyata Halkan-Waqqaa sana keessatti raajiiwwan waggaa 2520 fi 2300 dha.

"For a time, those who would not receive the message were restrained by fear from acting out the sentiments of their hearts; but the passing of the time revealed their true feelings. They wished to silence the testimony which the waiting ones felt compelled to bear, that the prophetic periods extended to 1844. With clearness the believers explained their mistake—singular mistake—and gave the reasons why they expected their Lord in 1844. Their opposers could bring no arguments against the powerful reasons offered. Yet the anger of the churches was kindled; they were determined not to listen to evidence, and to shut the testimony out of the churches, so the others could not hear it."

«За известно време онези, които не искаха да приемат вестта, бяха възпирани от страх да проявят чувствата на сърцата си; но изтичането на времето разкри истинските им чувства. Те желаеха да заглушат свидетелството, което чакащите се чувстваха принудени да носят — че пророческите периоди се простират до 1844 година. С яснота вярващите обясняваха своята грешка — особена грешка — и излагаха причините, поради които очакваха своя Господ през 1844 година. Техните противници не можеха да приведат никакви доводи против силните основания, които бяха представени. Но гневът на църквите се разпали; те бяха решени да не слушат доказателствата и да изключат свидетелството от църквите, за да не могат и другите да го чуят.»

What happens when you present the 2520 in connection with the 2300 days? In the Millerite History, you get shut out of the churches, and there is an effort to silence that message.

Que se passe-t-il lorsque vous présentez les 2520 en relation avec les 2300 jours ? Dans l’histoire millérite, vous êtes exclus des Églises, et il y a un effort pour réduire ce message au silence.

"Those who dared not withhold from others the light which God had given them, were shut out of the churches; but Jesus was with them, and they were joyful in the light of His countenance. They were prepared to receive the message of the second angel." Early Writings, 235–237.

Awo, ame siwo metu ŋu ɖe gbeɖe me be yewomate ŋu aɖo kekeli si Mawu na wo la ɖi le ame bubuwo ŋu o la, wowo tututu le hamewo me; gake Yesu nɔ anyi kpli wo, eye wòkafukafu le Eƒe ŋku me kekeli la me. Woɖo wo ɖe asi be yewoanye dzudzɔe na dɔla evelia ƒe gbe la xɔxɔ. Early Writings, 235–237.

Without going into a study on the 2520, what we are trying to show is that Ellen White places her seal of approval on the 2520. If you cannot see this, you need to pray that Jesus will remove the scales from your eyes. Ellen White said that the same evidence that led them to predict 1843 was then seen to prove that these prophetic periods ended in 1844. She always identifies the prophetic periods, or the figures, in the plural. There are only three prophetic periods on the 1843 Chart that ended in 1843.

Sans entreprendre une étude sur les 2520, ce que nous cherchons à montrer, c’est qu’Ellen White appose son sceau d’approbation sur les 2520. Si vous ne pouvez pas le voir, vous devez prier afin que Jésus ôte les écailles de vos yeux. Ellen White a dit que les mêmes preuves qui les avaient conduits à annoncer 1843 furent alors reconnues comme démontrant que ces périodes prophétiques prenaient fin en 1844. Elle désigne toujours les périodes prophétiques, ou les chiffres, au pluriel. Il n’y a que trois périodes prophétiques sur la carte de 1843 qui prenaient fin en 1843.

The one that does end in 1843, the 1335, requires, for grammatical correctness, at least two prophetic periods for her to say "figures" and "prophetic periods." If there are three and you take away one, then the two she endorses are the 2520 and the 2300, regardless of what anyone else may say.

الذي ينتهي في سنة 1843، أي الـ1335، يقتضي، من أجل السلامة النحوية، وجود فترتين نبويتين على الأقل لكي تقول «الأرقام» و«الفترات النبوية». فإذا كانت هناك ثلاثٌ وأُزيلت واحدة، فإن الاثنتين اللتين تقرّهما هما الـ2520 والـ2300، بصرف النظر عمّا قد يقوله أيّ شخص آخر.

In this history, including the Adventists' Great Disappointment on October 22, 1844, the Lord was producing an experience where they were being shut out of the churches so they could stand not upon the influence of men but upon the Word of God. They needed that experience to have the faith to move into the Most Holy Place with Jesus Christ. He was perfecting them to bring to a conclusion the Everlasting Gospel.

Dans cette histoire, y compris la Grande Déception des adventistes du 22 octobre 1844, le Seigneur produisait une expérience par laquelle ils étaient exclus des Églises, afin qu’ils se tiennent, non sur l’influence des hommes, mais sur la Parole de Dieu. Ils avaient besoin de cette expérience pour avoir la foi d’entrer avec Jésus-Christ dans le lieu très saint. Il les amenait à la perfection afin de mener à son terme l’Évangile éternel.

Testimony of the Pioneers: James White and Uriah Smith

Témoignage des pionniers : James White et Uriah Smith

Next, we have two Pioneers, James White and Uriah Smith. These are the primary men modern theologians reference to claim that James White rejected the 2520 in 1863 and Uriah Smith rejected it in his writings in the 1870s and 1880s.

Ensuite, nous avons deux pionniers, James White et Uriah Smith. Ce sont les principaux hommes auxquels les théologiens modernes se réfèrent pour soutenir que James White a rejeté le 2520 en 1863 et qu’Uriah Smith l’a rejeté dans ses écrits des années 1870 et 1880.

We are going back to 1844 and shortly thereafter to see how James White and Uriah Smith describe this identical history that Ellen White has just described. She talks about the prophetic periods and the Lord removing His hand and seeing the mistake, and so do these two Pioneers.

Nous retournons en 1844 et peu après, afin de voir comment James White et Uriah Smith décrivent cette histoire même qu’Ellen White vient de relater. Elle parle des périodes prophétiques, du Seigneur retirant sa main et de la constatation de l’erreur, et ces deux pionniers en parlent eux aussi.

Ellen White does not say "2520" or "seven times," but Uriah Smith and James White do. They make it clear that the prophetic periods recognized in this history were the 2520 and the 2300.

Ellen White ne dit pas « 2520 » ni « sept temps », mais Uriah Smith et James White, eux, le disent. Ils montrent clairement que les périodes prophétiques reconnues dans cette histoire étaient les 2520 et les 2300.

James White, Review and Herald, volume 1, July 9, 1851: "Says an objector, 'I do not believe that the midnight cry has yet been given.' Neither do we believe that the midnight cry has been heard by us, or that it ever will be. The cry of Matthew 25:6, 'Behold the bridegroom cometh,' is in the history of an eastern marriage. But that a cry was given, and fully received by the entire Advent body in the autumn of 1844, that compares well with the midnight cry of the parable, should not be denied by those who had an experience in it."

James White, Review and Herald, volume 1, 9 juillet 1851 : « Un objecteur dit : “Je ne crois pas que le cri de minuit ait encore été donné.” Nous non plus, nous ne croyons pas que le cri de minuit ait été entendu par nous, ni qu’il le soit jamais. Le cri de Matthieu 25:6 : “Voici, l’époux vient”, appartient à l’histoire d’un mariage oriental. Mais qu’un cri ait été poussé, et pleinement reçu par tout le corps adventiste à l’automne de 1844, cri qui correspond bien au cri de minuit de la parabole, cela ne devrait pas être nié par ceux qui en ont fait l’expérience. »

James White is dealing with a history where people are rejecting the Midnight Cry and falling off the path. He is responding to this and will discuss this history.

James White traite d’une histoire dans laquelle des personnes rejettent le Cri de Minuit et tombent hors du sentier. Il répond à cela et traitera de cette histoire.

"It came in the right time. The cry of the parable immediately followed the delay, and the slumbering and sleeping. This followed our delay, having been disappointed, and reached our ears while in a dormant state. That cry waked up the ten virgins, and led them to trim their lamps. This, attended by the power of the Spirit, aroused the Advent people, and led them to search the Bible as never before, and to consecrate themselves and their worldly possessions wholly to the Lord. Those who gave the cry that the Lord would come at the seventh month, 1844, clearly saw that the prophetic periods reached to that time, therefore, the evidence that had been presented from the periods to prove that the Advent would be in 1843, proved that it would be in 1844. We then saw an error in that manner of reckoning which terminated the 2300 days in 1843. None of those who wrote against the Advent saw it. The hand of Providence—capital 'P'—covered the mistake—singular—until the time came for it to be seen. The error was in taking 457 full years from the 2300, which left 1843, without making any account of the fraction of the year 457 B.C., that had passed, when the commandment went forth, from which the 70 weeks are reckoned."

Այն եկաւ ճիշդ ժամանակին։ Առակի աղաղակը անմիջապէս յաջորդեց ուշացմանը, եւ ննջելուն ու քնելուն։ Ասիկա յաջորդեց մեր ուշացմանը, երբ յուսախաբ եղած էինք, եւ հասաւ մեր ականջներուն, մինչ անգործ վիճակի մէջ կը գտնուէինք։ Այդ աղաղակը արթնցուց տասը կոյսերը եւ զանոնք առաջնորդեց իրենց ճրագները կարգի դնելու։ Ասիկա, Հոգիին զօրութեամբ ուղեկցուած, արթնցուց Աւետման ժողովուրդը եւ առաջնորդեց զանոնք Սուրբ Գիրքը խուզարկելու՝ ինչպէս երբեք առաջ, եւ իրենց ու իրենց աշխարհային ստացուածքները ամբողջութեամբ Տիրոջ նուիրաբերելու։ Անոնք, որոնք տուին այն աղաղակը, թէ Տէրը պիտի գար եօթներորդ ամսուն, 1844-ին, յստակօրէն կը տեսնէին, որ մարգարէական ժամանակաշրջանները մինչեւ այդ ժամանակը կը հասնէին. ուստի այն ապացոյցը, որ ժամանակաշրջաններէն ներկայացուած էր՝ ապացուցելու համար, թէ Աւետումը պիտի ըլլար 1843-ին, կը փաստէր, թէ անիկա պիտի ըլլար 1844-ին։ Այն ատեն տեսանք սխալ մը այդ հաշուարկման կերպին մէջ, որ 2300 օրերը կը վերջացնէր 1843-ին։ Անոնցմէ ոչ մէկը, որոնք կը գրէին Աւետման դէմ, զայն տեսաւ։ Նախախնամութեան ձեռքը ծածկած էր այդ սխալը մինչեւ ժամանակը գար, որ զայն տեսնուէր։ Սխալը այն էր, որ 2300-էն հանած էին 457 ամբողջ տարիներ, ինչ որ կը ձգէր 1843, առանց բնաւ հաշուի առնելու Ք.Ա. 457 տարուան այն բաժին տարին, որ արդէն անցած էր, երբ պատուէրը ելաւ, որմէ 70 շաբաթները կը հաշուուին։

"Our minds were directed to that point of time, [1843,] from the fact that dating the several prophetic periods from those years in which the best chronologers assign the fulfillment of those events which were to mark their commencement, they all seemed to terminate that year.'"

„Kuncento estis direktitaj al tiu tempopunkto, [1843,] pro la fakto, ke, datigante la diversajn profetajn periodojn ekde tiuj jaroj, al kiuj la plej bonaj kronologoj atribuas la plenumon de tiuj eventoj, kiuj devis marki ilian komencon, ili ĉiuj ŝajnis finiĝi en tiu jaro.“

Now he tells us the prophetic periods they thought terminated in 1843.

Maintenant, il nous indique les périodes prophétiques qu’ils pensaient avoir pris fin en 1843.

"This was, however, only apparent." Only apparent that they ended in 1843. They would find that they ended in 1844.

“Ceci n’était toutefois qu’apparent.” Apparemment seulement, ils se terminaient en 1843. Ils découvriraient qu’ils se terminaient en 1844.

"We date the 'seven times,' or 2520 years, from the captivity of Manasseh, which is, with great unanimity, placed by chronologers BC677.' These are the prophetic periods that they were dealing with. 'This date is the only one we have ever reckoned from, for the commencement of this period; and subtracting 677 BC from 2520 years there remained AD1843. We, however, did not observe that as it would require 677 full years BC and 1843 full years AD to complete 2520 years, that it would also oblige us to extend this period as far into 1844 as it might have commenced after the beginning of 677 BC.'

“Nós datamos os ‘sete tempos’, ou 2520 anos, a partir do cativeiro de Manassés, o qual é, com grande unanimidade, situado pelos cronologistas em 677 a.C.” Estes eram os períodos proféticos com os quais eles estavam lidando. “Esta é a única data da qual alguma vez calculamos o início deste período; e, subtraindo 677 a.C. de 2520 anos, restava 1843 d.C. Nós, porém, não observamos que, assim como seriam necessários 677 anos completos a.C. e 1843 anos completos d.C. para completar 2520 anos, isso também nos obrigaria a estender este período até certo ponto dentro de 1844, visto que ele poderia ter começado depois do início de 677 a.C.”

The prophetic periods that "the hand of Providence kept his hand over the mistake," included the 2520.

Amibi adiyisɛm mmere a “Nhwɛso no de ne nsa kataa ne mfomso no so” no kaa 2520 no ho.

Uriah Smith: "As time continued beyond 1843, many began to inquire the reasons of their disappointment respecting the year of their expected deliverance. It was then seen, that commencing all the prophetic periods in the years BC, where we had always dated their commencement, they would not be respectively completed, even upon the supposition that our chronology and date of their commencement were correct, until sometime within the year 1844. Thus, of the seven times, or 2520 years, commencing in BC677—the great jubilee, or 2450 years [not represented on either the 1843 or 1850 charts.], commencing in BC607—and the 2300 years of Daniel, commencing in BC457—as a portion of each of those years, from which the prophetic periods were respectively dated, had expired before the occurrence of the several events which marked their commencement, it would be necessary that they should extend as far into 1844, as they respectively commenced after the beginning of the years BC from which they are severally reckoned, in order, either to complete the number of years in each, or to test the correctness of our chronology. But there was no clue to the time, in the respective years BC, at which the several periods began; and consequently the time in the year of their termination, could not be accurately marked."

Uriah Smith: „Kad laiks turpinājās pēc 1843. gada, daudzi sāka izzināt sava pieviltā gaidījuma iemeslus attiecībā uz gadu, kurā viņi bija cerējuši uz savu atbrīvošanu. Tad kļuva redzams, ka, ja visas pravietiskās laika atskaites sākas tajos gados pirms Kristus, kuros mēs vienmēr bijām datējuši to sākumu, tad tās attiecīgi netiktu pabeigtas, pat pieņemot, ka mūsu hronoloģija un to sākuma datējums bija pareizi, līdz kādam brīdim 1844. gada laikā. Tādējādi septiņi laiki jeb 2520 gadi, kas sākas 677. gadā pr. Kr.; lielais jubilejas periods jeb 2450 gadi [nav attēloti ne 1843., ne 1850. gada tabulās], kas sākas 607. gadā pr. Kr.; un Daniēla 2300 gadi, kas sākas 457. gadā pr. Kr., — tā kā daļa no katra no šiem gadiem, no kuriem attiecīgie pravietiskie periodi tika datēti, bija pagājusi pirms to vairāko notikumu iestāšanās, kuri iezīmēja to sākumu, bija nepieciešams, lai tie turpinātos 1844. gadā tik tālu, cik attiecīgi tie bija sākušies pēc to gadu pr. Kr. sākuma, no kuriem katrs atsevišķi tiek skaitīts, lai vai nu piepildītu gadu skaitu katrā no tiem, vai arī pārbaudītu mūsu hronoloģijas pareizību. Taču nebija nekādas norādes uz to laiku attiecīgajos gados pr. Kr., kad šie vairāki periodi sākās; un līdz ar to to beigu gada laiku nevarēja precīzi noteikt.”

Uriah Smith and James White both testify that the prophetic periods recognized to conclude in 1844 were the 2520 and the 2300 years, using the same expressions as Ellen White in Early Writings, page 236 and onward.

Uriah Smith et James White attestent tous deux que les périodes prophétiques reconnues comme devant s’achever en 1844 étaient les 2520 et les 2300 ans, en employant les mêmes expressions qu’Ellen White dans Early Writings, à partir de la page 236.

The Chain of Truth: William Miller's Commencement Points

Сілсилә-и һәқиқәт: Вильям Миллерниң башлиниш нуқтилири

Early Writings, page 230: "God sent His angel"—the angel Gabriel—"to move upon the heart of a farmer"—William Miller—"who had not believed the Bible, to lead him to search the prophecies. Angels of God repeatedly visited that chosen one, to guide his mind and open to his understanding prophecies which had ever been dark to God's people. The commencement of the chain of truth was given to him, and he was led on to search for link after link, until he looked with wonder and admiration upon the Word of God. He saw there a perfect chain of truth. That Word which he had regarded as uninspired now opened before his vision in its beauty and glory. He saw that one portion of Scripture explains another,"

Ntɔnhoma a wɔakyerɛw dedaw, kratafa 230: “Onyankopɔn somaa Ne bɔfo” — ɔbɔfo Gabriel — “sɛ ɔnkanyan kuayɛfo bi koma so” — William Miller — “a na onnnye Bible no nni, na ɔmfa no nkɔhyɛ nsɛm no mu nhwehwɛmu mu.

Gabriel showed him the method we call proof-texting, line upon line, here a little and there a little.

Gabriël toonde hem de methode die wij noemen: het bewijzen met Schriftplaatsen, regel op regel, hier een weinig en daar een weinig.

Gabriel gave him the commencement of the chain of truth and the method of proof-texting.

Gabriel lui donna le commencement de la chaîne de vérité et la méthode d’interprétation par textes de preuve.

William Miller, Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, April 18, 1854: "From a farther study of the Scriptures, I concluded that the seven times of Gentile supremacy must commence when the Jews ceased to be an independent nation at the captivity of Manasseh, which the best chronologers assigned to B.C. 677; that the 2300 days commenced with the seventy weeks, which the best chronologers dated from B.C. 457; and that the 1335 days commencing with the taking away of the daily, and the setting up of the abomination that maketh desolate, [Daniel 12:11] were to be dated from the setting up of the Papal supremacy, after the taking away of Pagan abominations, and which, according to the best historians I could consult, should be dated from about 508."

William Miller, Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, 18 avril 1854 : « À la suite d’une étude plus approfondie des Écritures, je conclus que les sept temps de la suprématie des Gentils devaient commencer lorsque les Juifs cessèrent d’être une nation indépendante, à la captivité de Manassé, que les meilleurs chronologistes situaient en 677 av. J.-C. ; que les 2300 jours commencèrent avec les soixante-dix semaines, que les meilleurs chronologistes dataient de 457 av. J.-C. ; et que les 1335 jours, commençant avec la suppression du sacrifice perpétuel et l’établissement de l’abomination qui cause la désolation, [Daniel 12:11] devaient être datés de l’établissement de la suprématie papale, après la suppression des abominations païennes, et qui, selon les meilleurs historiens que je pouvais consulter, devait être daté d’environ 508. »

Ellen White says Gabriel gave William Miller the commencement to the chain of truth, and William Miller testifies that the three commencement points he was given are 508, 677BC, and 457BC. He was given the commencement points of these prophecies that produced the history of the Midnight Cry by the Angel Gabriel.

Ellen White dit que Gabriel donna à William Miller les points de commencement de la chaîne de vérité, et William Miller atteste que les trois points de commencement qui lui furent donnés sont 508, 677 av. J.-C. et 457 av. J.-C. C’est de l’ange Gabriel qu’il reçut les points de commencement de ces prophéties qui produisirent l’histoire du Cri de Minuit.

The Last Deception: Rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy

La Dernière Tromperie : Rejeter l’Esprit de prophétie

Selected Messages, book 1, page 48: "Satan is . . . constantly pressing in the spurious—to lead away from the truth. The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God." The last deception of Satan is to destroy the Spirit of Prophecy.

Messages Choisis, livre 1, page 48 : « Satan est . . . constamment occupé à introduire le faux, afin de détourner de la vérité. La toute dernière séduction de Satan sera de rendre sans effet le témoignage de l’Esprit de Dieu. » La dernière séduction de Satan est de détruire l’Esprit de prophétie.

If you reject these foundational truths, you are simultaneously rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy. Ellen White places her endorsement on the 2520. Reject the 2520, and you are throwing out both the baby and the bath water.

بۇ ئاساسىي ھەقىقەتلەرنى رەت قىلسىڭىز، سىز شۇنىڭ بىلەن بىر ۋاقىتتا پەيغەمبەرلىك روھىنىمۇ رەت قىلغان بولىسىز. ئېللېن ۋايت 2520 غا ئۆزىنىڭ قوللىشىنى بەرگەن. 2520 نى رەت قىلسىڭىز، سىز «بالا بىلەن يۇيۇنۇش سۈيىنى بىللە تۆكۈپ تاشلىغان» بولىسىز.

"Satan is . . . constantly pressing in the spurious—to lead away from the truth. The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God. 'Where there is no vision, the people perish' (Proverbs 29:18)." She is talking about rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy and, in connection, says that if you reject the Spirit of Prophecy, where there is no vision the people perish. What is the vision? If you reject the Spirit of Prophecy, what is the vision you lack?

Satan er . . . bestandig opptatt av å trenge det uekte inn—for å lede bort fra sannheten. Satans aller siste bedrag vil være å gjøre Guds Ånds vitnesbyrd uten virkning. «Uten åpenbaring blir folket tøylesløst» (Ordspåkene 29:18). Hun taler om å forkaste profetiens ånd og sier i den forbindelse at dersom du forkaster profetiens ånd, der det ikke er noe syn, går folket til grunne. Hva er synet? Hvis du forkaster profetiens ånd, hvilket syn er det du mangler?

"Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV).

“Écris la vision, et grave-la sur des tables, afin qu’on la lise couramment.” Habacuc 2:2 (KJV).

If you reject the Spirit of Prophecy, you are going to reject the 1843 Chart; and, if you reject this Chart, you are rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy.

Si vous rejetez l’Esprit de prophétie, vous allez rejeter le tableau de 1843 ; et, si vous rejetez ce tableau, vous rejetez l’Esprit de prophétie.

"Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God's remnant people in the true testimony. There will be a hatred kindled against the Testimonies which is satanic." Sometimes we think of "satanic" as sinister deeds, but in Patriarchs and Prophets we are told that Satan works by insinuating doubts. That is the satanic attack against the Spirit of Prophecy and these foundational truths. It is by men we are supposed to trust who insinuate these doubts.

«Satan agira avec ingéniosité, de diverses manières et par l’entremise de divers instruments, afin d’ébranler la confiance du peuple du reste de Dieu dans le vrai témoignage. Une haine sera attisée contre les Témoignages, haine qui sera satanique.» Parfois, nous pensons au terme «satanique» comme désignant des actes sinistres, mais, dans Patriarches et prophètes, il nous est dit que Satan agit en insinuant des doutes. Telle est l’attaque satanique contre l’Esprit de prophétie et contre ces vérités fondamentales. Elle s’exerce par le moyen d’hommes en qui nous sommes censés avoir confiance, lesquels insinuent ces doutes.

"There will be a hatred kindled against the Testimonies which is satanic. The workings of Satan will be to unsettle the faith of the churches in them, for this reason: Satan cannot have so clear a track to bring in his deceptions and bind up souls in his delusions if the warnings and reproofs and counsels of the Spirit of God are heeded." Selected Messages, book 1, 48.

“E ku ta pfuriwa rivengo exikarhi ka Timbhoni lexi nga xa vuSathana. Mintirho ya Sathana yi ta va ku tsekatsekisa ripfumelo ra mavandla ya kereke eka tona, hikwalaho ka xivangelo lexi: Sathana a nge koti ku va ni ndlela leyi nga erivaleni swinene yo nghenisa vuxisi bya yena ni ku boha mimoya eka ku kanganyisa ka yena loko switsundzuxo ni ku tshinya ni switsundzuxo swa Moya wa Xikwembu swi yingisiwa.” Selected Messages, book 1, 48.

As we bring this to a conclusion, when Sister White says we have nothing to fear for the future except that we forget the Lord's leading, I am saying the Lord's leading she speaks of is the history from the Tarrying Time to the closed door—the history represented by the term, The Midnight Cry. We have nothing to fear for the future except that we forget how the Lord led us in the experience of the Midnight Cry, and also the teachings connected to this leading. The teachings that produced this experience are the three time prophecies, which commence with dates given to William Miller by the Angel Gabriel. We have nothing to fear for the future except we forget these teachings, including the 2520, that produced the experience of the Midnight Cry as the Lord led the Millerites through the climax of the Everlasting Gospel.

Kapag dinadala natin ito sa pagwawakas, kapag sinasabi ni Sister White na wala tayong dapat ikatakot para sa hinaharap maliban na malimutan natin ang pag-akay ng Panginoon, sinasabi ko na ang pag-akay ng Panginoon na kaniyang tinutukoy ay ang kasaysayan mula sa Panahon ng Paghihintay hanggang sa saradong pinto—ang kasaysayang kinakatawan ng katawagang, Ang Sigaw sa Hatinggabi. Wala tayong dapat ikatakot para sa hinaharap maliban na malimutan natin kung paano tayo inakay ng Panginoon sa karanasan ng Sigaw sa Hatinggabi, at gayundin ang mga aral na kaugnay ng pag-akay na ito. Ang mga aral na nagbunga ng karanasang ito ay ang tatlong propesiya ng panahon, na nagsisimula sa mga petsang ibinigay kay William Miller ng anghel na si Gabriel. Wala tayong dapat ikatakot para sa hinaharap maliban na malimutan natin ang mga aral na ito, kabilang ang 2520, na nagbunga ng karanasan ng Sigaw sa Hatinggabi habang inaakay ng Panginoon ang mga Millerita sa kasukdulan ng Walang-Hanggang Ebanghelyo.

"One thing is certain: those Seventh-day Adventists who take their stand under Satan's banner will first give up their faith in the warnings and reproofs contained in the Testimonies of God's spirit."

”Як чиз аниқ: Шайтонинг байроғи остида турадиган еттинчи кун адвентистлари, аввало, Худо Руҳининг Гувоҳликларидаги огоҳлантиришлар ва танбеҳларга бўлган имонларидан воз кечадилар.“

You reject the Foundations, you are rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy. If you reject the Spirit of Prophecy, you are rejecting the Foundations. They go together. Where there is no Spirit of Prophecy, there is no vision.

Vous rejetez les Fondements, vous rejetez l’Esprit de prophétie. Si vous rejetez l’Esprit de prophétie, vous rejetez les Fondements. Ils vont ensemble. Là où il n’y a pas d’Esprit de prophétie, il n’y a pas de vision.

"The call to greater consecration and holier service is being made, and will continue to be made. Some who are now voicing Satan's suggestions will come to their senses. There are those in important positions of trust who do not understand the truth for this time. To them the message must be given. If they receive it, Christ will accept them, and will make them workers together with him. But if they refuse to hear the message, they will take their stand under the black banner of the Prince of Darkness.

L’appel à une consécration plus grande et à un service plus saint est lancé, et il continuera de l’être. Quelques-uns de ceux qui expriment maintenant les suggestions de Satan reviendront à eux-mêmes. Il en est qui occupent d’importantes positions de confiance et qui ne comprennent pas la vérité pour ce temps. Le message doit leur être annoncé. S’ils le reçoivent, Christ les acceptera et fera d’eux des ouvriers avec lui. Mais s’ils refusent d’entendre le message, ils prendront position sous la noire bannière du prince des ténèbres.

"I am instructed to say that the precious truth for this time is open more and more clearly to human minds. In a special sense men and women are to eat of Christ's flesh and drink of his blood. There will be a development of the understanding, for the truth is capable of constant expansion. The divine originator of truth will come into closer and still closer communion with those who follow on to know him. As God's people receive his word as the bread of heaven, they will know that his goings forth are prepared as the morning. They will receive spiritual strength, as the body receives physical strength when food is eaten.

«Как мне повелено сказать, драгоценная истина для настоящего времени открывается человеческому разуму всё более и более ясно. В особом смысле мужчины и женщины должны есть плоть Христа и пить Его кровь. Произойдёт развитие разумения, ибо истина способна к постоянному расширению. Божественный Источник истины будет входить во всё более тесное и ещё более тесное общение с теми, кто стремится познать Его. Когда народ Божий принимает Его слово как хлеб небесный, они узнают, что явление Его приготовлено, как утро. Они будут принимать духовную силу, как тело принимает физическую силу, когда вкушается пища.

"We do not half understand the Lord's plan in taking the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, and leading them through the wilderness into Canaan.

“En comprendons-nous à peine la moitié du dessein du Seigneur lorsqu’il prit les enfants d’Israël de la servitude égyptienne et les conduisit à travers le désert jusque dans le pays de Canaan. »

"As we gather up the divine rays shining from the gospel, we shall have a clearer insight into the Jewish economy, and a deeper appreciation of its important truths. Our exploration of truth is yet incomplete. We have gathered up only a few rays of light. Those who are not daily students of the Word will not solve the problems of the Jewish economy. They will not understand the truths taught by the temple service. The work of God is hindered by a worldly understanding of his great plan. The future life will unfold the meaning of the laws that Christ, enshrouded in the pillar of cloud, gave to his people." Spalding and Magan, 305, 306.

«Нгатиҳе тукунг’аниа миизи иа Угӱнду ииетоотоа кӯма Уи̃тгурири, нитукоона и̃ндва ија кӯгити̃кйра гитуми̃ра киа Аяһуди, na kūmenya биu кӯrata ma kūhoya ma ciarĩa matūmĩte.

Those Adventists who receive the mark of the beast, standing under Satan's banner, first reject the Spirit of Prophecy.

ཨེཌ་ཝེན་ཊིསཊ་ཚོ་གང་ཞིག་གིས་གཅན་གཟན་གྱི་རྟགས་དེ་ལེན་པ་དང་། སཱ་ཏན་གྱི་དར་ཆ་འོག་ཏུ་ལངས་ནས། ཐོག་མར་ལུང་སྟོན་གྱི་སྤི་རིཏ་དེ་དོར་བར་བྱེད་དོ།

There are two classes in this passage: those who follow on to know the Lord, continue to eat His flesh and drink His blood, and continue to study God's Word, and those who do not. The development of truth is not finished; they will have things to say about the Sanctuary service that have not been said yet. They will emphasize the change of dispensation in the time of Christ, prefiguring the change in the Millerite time, pointing forward to the dispensation when Christ changes from the Judgment of the Dead to the Judgment of the Living. They will have things to say about the Sanctuary and how the Lord marks His movements in these changes of dispensations by the outpouring of His Spirit.

در این بخش دو گروه وجود دارند: آنان که در شناخت خداوند پیش می‌روند، همچنان از جسم او می‌خورند و خون او را می‌نوشند، و همچنان کلام خدا را مطالعه می‌کنند، و آنان که چنین نمی‌کنند. تکامل حقیقت به پایان نرسیده است؛ ایشان دربارهٔ خدمت قدس سخنانی خواهند داشت که هنوز گفته نشده است. آنان بر تغییرِ دورهٔ تدبیر در زمان مسیح تأکید خواهند کرد، تغییری که پیشاپیش، تغییر در زمان میلری را مجسم می‌ساخت و به سوی آن دورهٔ تدبیر اشاره می‌کرد که در آن مسیح از داوری مردگان به داوری زندگان منتقل می‌شود. آنان دربارهٔ قدس و این‌که خداوند در این تغییراتِ دوره‌های تدبیر، حرکات خود را با ریزش روح خویش مشخص می‌سازد، سخنانی خواهند داشت.

A couple more quotes and we are almost done.

Egy-két további idézet, és csaknem készen vagyunk.

Those Seventh-day Adventists who reject the Midnight Cry fall off the path, rejecting the Lord's leadings and doctrinal teachings that produce the history of the Midnight Cry. That is what we have to fear—rejecting those teachings and not understanding that experience. In so doing, we are rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy.

Ta minahzong Seventh-day Adventists kohte Midnight Cry ah an zawm lotute chu kawng atangin an tla a, Midnight Cry chanchin thlen theihna siamtu Lalpa kaihhruaina leh thurin zirtirna an hnawl a ni. Chu chu kan hlauh tur a ni—zirtirna hrang hrang chu hnawl a, chuta thil thleng hriatthiam lohna. Chutiang chuan kan tih hian, Spirit of Prophecy chu kan hnawl a ni.

Sister White places her seal of approval on the 2520. We will show how she places her seal of approval on other truths on the 1843 Chart.

صهر وايت مُهر موافقتها على الـ 2520. وسنُبيّن كيف أنها تضع مُهر موافقتها على حقائق أخرى واردة في مخطط 1843.

At the end of the world, when this all comes to the climax of the Everlasting Gospel in our history, Adventism will be confronted with the three-step testing process that has been prefigured, as seen in the experience of William Miller.

Na ngwụsị nke ụwa, mgbe ihe a niile rutere n’ọkpụrụkpụ ya n’ime Oziọma Ebighị Ebi n’akụkọ ihe mere eme anyị, Akwụkwọ Nzukọ Ndị Adventist ga-eche ihu usoro ọnwụnwa nke nzọụkwụ atọ nke e buru ụzọ gosi n’ihe atụ, dịka a hụrụ ya n’ahụmahụ William Miller.

William Miller made three mistakes: (1) He rejected the Midnight Cry and fell off the path to the wicked world below. (2) He trusted in human influence after that, Joshua Himes. (3) He rejected the Sabbath.

William Miller fitxew tlatsa mistakes: (1) Iwja rejecṭa't im Midnight Cry slew fitxew fella off im path sha im wicked world below. (2) Iwja trusta't in human influence after that, Joshua Himes. (3) Iwja rejecṭa't im Sabbath.

A question arose: "Did he reject the Sabbath or the Sanctuary?" The teaching that changed from the sanctuary on Earth to the Sanctuary in Heaven in that time period may not have been fully grasped by Miller. When Ellen White was led into the Most Holy Place, she saw the Ten Commandments in the ark of the covenant, and the Sabbath Commandment had a holy glow around it.

Ari re’ykuae: “¿Omoneĩpa pe sábado térã pe Santuario?” Pe mbo’epy ova’ekue pe santuario yvy arigua guive pe Santuario Yvagapegua pe tiémpope ikatu oime ndaikatúi hague oñentende porãmba Miller rehe. Ellen White ojererahárõ guare pe Tenda Marangatuvévape, ha’e ohecha pe Diez Mandamientos pe arca del pacto ryepýpe, ha pe Mandamiento del sábado oguereko peteĩ tesape marangatu ijerére.

The thing Miller rejected was the Law of God—the Sabbath. So, Miller rejected the Midnight Cry, then leaned upon flesh, and then received the mark of the beast. That is repeated at the end of the world.

Ko sa Miller i tinanggihan amo an Balaod han Dios—an Sabbath. Sanglit, gintalikdan ni Miller an Pagsinggit ha Katinungang Gabi-i, katapos nagsandig ha unod, ngan katapos nakarawat han marka han mapintas nga mananap. Ini uuliton ha kataposan han kalibotan.

Testimonies, volume 5, page 211: "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."

Témoignages, volume 5, page 211 : « Nous voyons ici 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 accordé une grande lumière et qui s’étaient tenus comme gardiens des intérêts spirituels du peuple, avaient trahi leur mandat. »

She is commenting on Ezekiel 8 and 9, the sealing. Sister White says the sealing in Ezekiel 9 is the same as the sealing of Revelation 7. She is talking about the time period of the sealing of the 144,000. She says those who were to be the guardians had betrayed their trust.

他女系就《以西结书》第 8 章同第 9 章,即受印,发表意见。怀爱伦姊妹话,《以西结书》第 9 章所讲个受印,同《启示录》第 7 章个受印系一样个。伊所讲个,系十四万四千人受印个时期。伊话,那些本当作守望看守个,已经背弃了他们所受个托付。

"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." Their first mistake was to oppose the Midnight Cry, saying, "What took place in this history of the Midnight Cry does not get repeated."

«Ils avaient adopté la position selon laquelle nous ne devons pas nous attendre à des miracles ni à la manifestation marquée de la puissance de Dieu comme aux jours passés. Les temps ont changé.» Leur première erreur fut de s’opposer au Cri de Minuit, en disant: «Ce qui s’est produit dans cette histoire du Cri de Minuit ne se répète pas.»

They are falling off the path.

"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.

“Shawazi maneno haya huimarisha kutokuamini kwao, nao husema: Bwana hatatenda mema, wala hatatenda mabaya. Yeye ana rehema mno hata asiwaadhibu watu Wake kwa hukumu. Hivyo basi, ‘Amani na salama’ ndiko kulio kutoka kwa watu ambao hawatainua tena sauti yao kama tarumbeta kuwaonyesha watu wa Mungu makosa yao na nyumba ya Yakobo dhambi zao. Mbwa hawa bubu wasiopenda kubweka ndio wale wanaohisi kisasi cha haki cha Mungu aliyekasirika. Wanaume, mabikira, na watoto wadogo wote huangamia pamoja.” Testimonies, volume 5, 211.

Jeremiah, speaking of William Miller's second failure, said, "Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord." Jeremiah 17:5. If you trust in a man, your heart departs from the Lord.

Jérémie, parlant du second échec de William Miller, a dit : « Ainsi parle l’Éternel : Maudit soit l’homme qui se confie dans l’homme, qui prend la chair pour son appui, et dont le cœur se détourne de l’Éternel. » Jérémie 17:5. Si vous vous confiez en un homme, votre cœur se détourne du Seigneur.

The first rejection at the end is the Midnight Cry, a repeat of the manifestation of the power of God. The second is leaning upon flesh. The third is the Sunday Law.

A jù ọ̀nà àkọ́kọ́ sílẹ̀ ní ìkẹyìn ni Ìkígbe Ọ̀gànjọ́ Òru, àtúnṣe ìfarahàn agbára Ọlọ́run. Èkejì ni fífi ara lé ẹran-ara. Ẹ̀kẹta ni Òfin Ọjọ́-Àìkú.

"There can be only two classes. Each party is distinctly stamped, either with the seal of the living God, or with the mark of the beast or his image. Each son and daughter of Adam chooses either Christ or Barabbas as his general. And all who place themselves on the side of the disloyal are standing under Satan's black banner, and are charged with rejecting and despitefully using Christ. They are charged with deliberately crucifying the Lord of life and glory." Review and Herald, January 30, 1900.

Kunaweza kuwako makundi mawili tu. Kila upande umewekwa chapa dhahiri, ama kwa muhuri wa Mungu aliye hai, au kwa chapa ya mnyama au ya sanamu yake. Kila mwana na binti wa Adamu humchagua aidha Kristo au Baraba kuwa mkuu wake. Nao wote wanaojiweka upande wa wasio waaminifu wamesimama chini ya bendera nyeusi ya Shetani, na wanahesabiwa kuwa wamemkataa Kristo na wamemtumia kwa dharau. Wanahesabiwa kuwa wanamsulibisha kwa makusudi Bwana wa uzima na utukufu. Review and Herald, Januari 30, 1900.

One thing is certain: those Seventh-day Adventists who take their stand under Satan's banner will first give up their confidence in the Spirit of Prophecy.

Un fait est certain : les adventistes du septième jour qui prennent position sous la bannière de Satan renonceront d’abord à leur confiance dans l’Esprit de prophétie.

Adventism repeats the three-step testing process that William Miller failed. But angels are waiting to raise Miller up and take him home with his Savior. For Adventists who receive the mark of the beast, those are not the angels waiting for them.

L’adventisme répète le processus d’épreuve en trois étapes auquel William Miller a échoué. Mais des anges attendent de ressusciter Miller et de le ramener chez lui auprès de son Sauveur. Pour les adventistes qui reçoivent la marque de la bête, ce ne sont pas ces anges-là qui les attendent.

"Again and again I have been shown that the past experiences of God's people are not to be counted as dead facts. We are not to treat the record of these experiences as we would treat a last year's almanac. The record is to be kept in mind, for history will repeat itself." Publishing Ministry, 175.

회듭하여 나는 하나님의 백성의 과거 경험들이 죽은 사실들로 여겨져서는 안 된다는 것을 보여 받아 왔다. 우리는 이러한 경험들의 기록을 마치 작년의 연감(年鑑)을 다루듯이 취급해서는 안 된다. 그 기록은 마음에 간직되어야 하니, 이는 역사가 반복될 것이기 때문이다.” Publishing Ministry, 175.

Why do we need to remember the Midnight Cry? Because history is going to be repeated. In this history, the message that will cause the shaking is the 2520 and the 2300; it will drive people out of the churches over this.

Me yasa muke bukatar mu tuna da Kukan Tsakar Dare? Domin tarihi zai maimaitu. A cikin wannan tarihi, saƙon da zai jawo girgizawa shi ne 2520 da 2300; saboda wannan ne zai fitar da mutane daga cikin ikkilisiyoyi.

But is this history, the Midnight Cry, actually going to be repeated or is it just some history? Notice this next quote:

Mais cette histoire, le Cri de Minuit, va-t-elle réellement se répéter, ou n’est-ce qu’une simple histoire ? Remarquez cette citation suivante :

"There is a world lying in wickedness, in deception and delusion, in the very shadow of death,—asleep, asleep. Who are feeling travail of soul to awaken them? What voice can reach them? My mind was carried to the future, when the signal will be given. 'Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.' But some will have delayed to obtain the oil for replenishing their lamps, and too late they will find that character, which is represented by the oil, is not transferable." Review and Herald, February 11, 1896.

Kuna ulimwengu uliolala katika uovu, katika udanganyifu na upotovu, katika kivuli chenyewe cha mauti,—umelala, umelala. Ni nani wanaohisi utungu wa roho ili kuwaamsha? Ni sauti gani inayoweza kuwafikia? Akili yangu ilichukuliwa hadi wakati ujao, wakati ishara itakapotolewa. “Tazama, Bwana-arusi anakuja; tokeni mwende kumlaki.” Lakini wengine watakuwa wamechelewa kupata mafuta kwa ajili ya kujazia taa zao, na wakiwa wamechelewa mno watagundua kwamba tabia, ambayo inawakilishwa na mafuta, haiwezi kuhamishwa.” Review and Herald, February 11, 1896.

The history of the Midnight Cry is repeated to the very letter.

L’histoire du Cri de Minuit se répète à la lettre.

Ellen White understood that the 2520 was a valid time prophecy and that it was used by the Lord to produce the tarrying time, the disappointment which created the experience that prepared men and women to move by faith into the Most Holy Place with Christ.

Ellen White comprenait que les 2520 constituaient une prophétie chronologique valide, et qu’ils furent employés par le Seigneur pour produire le temps d’attente, le désappointement qui engendra l’expérience préparant des hommes et des femmes à avancer par la foi dans le lieu très saint avec Christ.

We have not tried to prove the 2520 from the Bible yet. In this study of Habakkuk's Two Tables, we first want to be clear that Ellen White endorses these doctrines that are being rejected by Adventism today; then we will move into the Biblical study.

Sisi bado hatujajaribu kuthibitisha 2520 kutoka katika Biblia. Katika uchunguzi huu wa Majedwali Mawili ya Habakuki, kwanza tunataka kuweka wazi kwamba Ellen White anathibitisha mafundisho haya yanayokataliwa na Waadventista leo; kisha tutaingia katika uchunguzi wa Kibiblia.
