There are many amazing and important prophetic lines and truths in the book of Ezekiel. Of the biblical illustrations of prophets within the temple, Ezekiel is the one above all others that identifies the wheels within the wheels. Those wheels, according to Sister White represent the complex interplay of human activity illustrating the sequence of events in the time of the latter rain. Those events are represented by the prophet when he became part of the prophecy in an acted-out parable, such as when Ezekiel lies on his left and then right side in chapter four’s illustration of the siege of Jerusalem. There are also thirteen specific dates that outline Ezekiel’s history, and in so doing provide the waymarks of the latter rain period, when the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed. There are truths conveyed not only through dates, but also by numbers such as seventeen, nineteen, twenty-five, seventy, forty, three hundred and ninety and of course, thirty. Another number that is perhaps the most important number in the book of Ezekiel is the number one hundred and fifty. Yet the number one hundred and fifty is not found in the book of Ezekiel. Still, line upon line—it is there.

The number one hundred and fifty is prophetically embedded within the line of the siege, and the siege is a distinct prophetic line; or if you will, the siege is a wheel. A prophetic line of history will always possess an alpha and omega, and in so doing the characteristics of alpha and omega must be represented at the beginning and end of the line, or it isn’t a line. The alpha event of the siege was the death of Ezekiel’s wife and the end of the siege was the death of the bride of Christ, as represented by the destruction of Jerusalem.
تعداد یکصد و پنجاه بهگونهای نبوی درون خطِ محاصره نهفته است، و محاصره خود یک خطّ نبویِ متمایز است؛ یا اگر بخواهید، محاصره یک چرخ است. یک خطّ نبویِ تاریخ همواره دارای الفا و اُمگا خواهد بود، و از اینرو ویژگیهای الفا و اُمگا باید در آغاز و پایان آن خط نمایان باشد، وگرنه آن خط، خط نیست. رویدادِ الفایِ محاصره، مرگِ همسرِ حزقیال بود، و پایانِ محاصره، مرگِ عروسِ مسیح بود، چنانکه در ویرانیِ اورشلیم بهتصویر کشیده شده است.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. Revelation 21:2–9.
Aku, Yohanes, melihat kota yang kudus, Yerusalem yang baru, turun dari Allah, dari surga, berhias bagaikan pengantin perempuan yang dipermak bagi suaminya. Lalu aku mendengar suatu suara nyaring dari surga berkata: “Lihatlah, kemah Allah ada di tengah-tengah manusia, dan Ia akan diam bersama-sama dengan mereka, dan mereka akan menjadi umat-Nya, dan Allah sendiri akan menyertai mereka, dan menjadi Allah mereka. Dan Allah akan menghapus segala air mata dari mata mereka; maut tidak akan ada lagi; tidak akan ada lagi perkabungan, atau ratap tangis, atau kesakitan; sebab segala sesuatu yang lama itu telah berlalu.” Ia yang duduk di atas takhta itu berkata: “Lihatlah, Aku menjadikan segala sesuatu baru.” Lalu Ia berkata kepadaku: “Tuliskanlah, sebab perkataan-perkataan ini benar dan setia.” Dan Ia berkata kepadaku: “Sudah terlaksana. Akulah Alfa dan Omega, yang awal dan yang akhir. Kepada dia yang haus Aku akan mengaruniakan dengan cuma-cuma dari mata air kehidupan. Barangsiapa menang, ia akan memperoleh semuanya ini sebagai warisan; dan Aku akan menjadi Allahnya, dan ia akan menjadi anak-Ku. Tetapi orang-orang penakut, orang-orang yang tidak percaya, orang-orang keji, para pembunuh, orang-orang cabul, tukang-tukang sihir, para penyembah berhala, dan semua pendusta, mereka akan mendapat bagian mereka di dalam lautan yang menyala-nyala oleh api dan belerang; itulah kematian yang kedua.” Lalu datanglah kepadaku seorang dari ketujuh malaikat yang memegang ketujuh cawan yang penuh dengan ketujuh malapetaka yang terakhir itu, dan ia berbicara kepadaku, katanya: “Marilah kemari, aku akan menunjukkan kepadamu pengantin perempuan, istri Anak Domba.” Wahyu 21:2–9.
Ezekiel’s wife dies at the outset of the siege, and she is there identified as the “desire of” Ezekiel’s “eyes,” and in the destruction of Jerusalem set forth in the same chapter, Jerusalem is identified as “the desire” of Israel’s “eyes.”
La femme d’Ézéchiel meurt au début du siège, et elle y est désignée comme « le désir » des « yeux » d’Ézéchiel ; et, dans la destruction de Jérusalem exposée au même chapitre, Jérusalem est désignée comme « le désir » des « yeux » d’Israël.
Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, … Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded. And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
Zvakare, mugore rechipfumbamwe, mumwedzi wegumi, pazuva regumi romwedzi, shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti, … Zvakare shoko raJehovha rakasvika kwandiri, richiti, Mwanakomana womunhu, tarira, ndinobvisa kwauri chinofadza meso ako nokurohwa kamwe; asi haungachemi kana kuungudza, uye misodzi yako haingayereri. Rega kuchema nokuungudza; usaitira vakafa kuchema; sunga nguwani yomusoro wako pamusoro pako, upfeke shangu dzako patsoka dzako, usarega kufukidza miromo yako, uye usadya zvokudya zvavanouyiswa navanhu. Naizvozvo ndakataura navanhu mangwanani; zvino madekwana mukadzi wangu akafa; uye ndakaita mangwanani sezvandakanga ndarayirwa. Vanhu vakati kwandiri, Haungatiudzi here kuti zvinhu izvi zvinorevei kwatiri, zvaunoita saizvozvo?
Then I answered them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword. And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
Waxaan markaas ugu jawaabay, Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid, isagoo leh, La hadal reer binu Israa’iil oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, anigu waxaan nijaasayn doonaa meesheyda quduuska ah, taasoo ah sharafta xooggiinna, waxa indhihiinnu doonayaan, iyo waxa naftiinnu u naxariisato; wiilashiinna iyo gabdhihiinna aad ka tagteenna seef bay ku dhici doonaan. Oo idinkuna waxaad yeeli doontaan sidii aan yeelay; dibnihiinna ma aad dabooli doontaan, kibista dadka mana aad cuni doontaan. Oo cimaamaddiinnu waxay ahaan doonaan madaxyadiinna dushooda, kabihiinnuna cagihiinna; mana aad barooran doontaan, mana aad ooyi doontaan; laakiinse xumaatooyinkiinna aawadood baad u taag daran doontaan, oo midkiinba kan kale ayuu u barooran doonaa.
Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord God. Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears? In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel 24:1, 15–27.
Ainsi Ézéchiel vous servira de signe : selon tout ce qu’il a fait, vous ferez ; et quand cela arrivera, vous saurez que je suis le Seigneur, l’Éternel. Et toi, fils de l’homme, n’en sera-t-il pas ainsi au jour où je leur ôterai leur force, la joie de leur gloire, le désir de leurs yeux et ce à quoi s’attache leur âme, leurs fils et leurs filles ? En ce jour-là, celui qui échappera viendra vers toi pour te l’annoncer à tes oreilles. En ce jour-là, ta bouche s’ouvrira pour celui qui se sera échappé ; tu parleras, et tu ne seras plus muet : tu seras pour eux un signe, et ils sauront que je suis l’Éternel. Ézéchiel 24:1, 15–27.
The siege’s alpha is the death of Ezekiel’s desire, and the omega is the death of Israel’s desire.
L’alpha du siège est la mort de ce qui faisait les délices d’Ézéchiel, et l’oméga est la mort de ce qui faisait les délices d’Israël.
Hearing, but Not Hearing
En entendant, mais sans entendre
There are five times the elders or the people are portrayed in some fashion as listening to Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 8:1, the elders of Judah sit before him. In Ezekiel 14:1 the elders come and sit before him. In Ezekiel 20:1 the elders of Israel come to inquire of the Lord. In Ezekiel 37:18, God tells Ezekiel: “When the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?” In chapter twenty-four the people directly ask: “Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?” In each of the five instances the elders or people are in a Laodicean condition.
We have five instances in which the elders or the people are in some manner depicted as listening to Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 8:1, the elders of Judah sit before him. In Ezekiel 14:1, the elders come and sit before him. In Ezekiel 20:1, the elders of Israel come to inquire of the Lord. In Ezekiel 37:18, God says to Ezekiel: “When the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?” In chapter twenty-four the people ask directly: “Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?” In each of these five instances, the elders or the people are in a Laodicean condition.
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Isaiah 6:9, 10.
Na ka sɛ, Kɔ, na ka kyerɛ saa ɔman yi sɛ: Muntie ampa ara, nanso monnte ase; na monhwɛ ampa ara, nanso monnhu mu. Ma saa ɔman yi koma yɛ sradeɛ, na ma wɔn aso yɛ duru, na kata wɔn ani; anyɛ saa a, wɔde wɔn ani behu ade, na wɔde wɔn aso ate, na wɔde wɔn koma ate ase, na wɔasakra wɔn ho, na wɔasa wɔn yare. Yesaia 6:9, 10.
The five representations of the people hearing but not hearing, and the five representations of the people seeing, but not seeing align with the five steps of those who refuse to see and hear in Isaiah’s testimony.
Les cinq représentations du peuple qui entend sans entendre, et les cinq représentations du peuple qui voit sans voir, correspondent aux cinq étapes de ceux qui refusent de voir et d’entendre dans le témoignage d’Ésaïe.
But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Isaiah 28:13.
Na neno la Bwana likawa kwao amri juu ya amri, amri juu ya amri; mstari juu ya mstari, mstari juu ya mstari; hapa kidogo, na pale kidogo; ili waende, na kuanguka nyuma, na kuvunjika, na kunaswa, na kutiwa kifungoni. Isaya 28:13.
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Isaiah 8:15.
И многие из них преткнутся, и упадут, и разобьются, и будут уловлены в сеть, и будут взяты. Исаия 8:15.
Signs

In chapter twenty-four of Ezekiel, the period beginning at the siege and the death of Ezekiel’s wife—the desire of his eyes ends at the death of Jerusalem—the desire of Israel’s eyes. The one-and-a-half-year siege contains the signature of Alpha and Omega, and the period begins and ends with a sign. As in Ezekiel twenty-four, Jesus identifies the sign of the siege in Matthew twenty-four.
ଏଜିକିଏଲଙ୍କ ଚବିଶତମ ଅଧ୍ୟାୟରେ, ଅବରୋଧ ଆରମ୍ଭ ହେବାରୁ ଆରମ୍ଭ କରି ଏଜିକିଏଲଙ୍କ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀଙ୍କ ମୃତ୍ୟୁ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତର ଯେ ସମୟ—ତାଙ୍କ ଚକ୍ଷୁର ଆକାଙ୍କ୍ଷା—ଯେରୁଶାଲେମର ମୃତ୍ୟୁରେ, ଅର୍ଥାତ୍ ଇସ୍ରାଏଲଙ୍କ ଚକ୍ଷୁର ଆକାଙ୍କ୍ଷାରେ, ସମାପ୍ତ ହୁଏ। ଡେଢ ବର୍ଷର ଏହି ଅବରୋଧରେ ଆଲ୍ଫା ଏବଂ ଓମେଗାଙ୍କ ସ୍ୱାକ୍ଷର ରହିଛି, ଏବଂ ଏହି ସମୟ ଗୋଟିଏ ଚିହ୍ନ ସହ ଆରମ୍ଭ ହୁଏ ଓ ଗୋଟିଏ ଚିହ୍ନ ସହ ସମାପ୍ତ ହୁଏ। ଏଜିକିଏଲ ଚବିଶରେ ଯେପରି, ମାଥିଉ ଚବିଶରେ ଯୀଶୁ ଅବରୋଧର ଚିହ୍ନକୁ ଚିହ୍ନିତ କରନ୍ତି।
“Christ’s words had been spoken in the hearing of a large number of people; but when He was alone, Peter, John, James, and Andrew came to Him as He sat upon the Mount of Olives. ‘Tell us,’ they said, ‘when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?’ Jesus did not answer His disciples by taking up separately the destruction of Jerusalem and the great day of His coming. He mingled the description of these two events. Had He opened to His disciples future events as He beheld them, they would have been unable to endure the sight. In mercy to them He blended the description of the two great crises, leaving the disciples to study out the meaning for themselves. When He referred to the destruction of Jerusalem, His prophetic words reached beyond that event to the final conflagration in that day when the Lord shall rise out of His place to punish the world for their iniquity, when the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. This entire discourse was given, not for the disciples only, but for those who should live in the last scenes of this earth’s history.
“Les paroles du Christ avaient été prononcées devant un grand nombre de personnes ; mais lorsqu’Il se trouva seul, Pierre, Jean, Jacques et André vinrent à Lui, tandis qu’Il était assis sur le mont des Oliviers. « Dis-nous, dirent-ils, quand ces choses arriveront-elles ? et quel sera le signe de Ton avènement, et de la fin du monde ? » Jésus ne répondit pas à Ses disciples en traitant séparément la destruction de Jérusalem et le grand jour de Son avènement. Il mêla la description de ces deux événements. S’Il avait exposé à Ses disciples les événements futurs tels qu’Il les contemplait, ils n’auraient pas été capables d’en soutenir la vue. Dans Sa miséricorde envers eux, Il unit la description des deux grandes crises, laissant aux disciples le soin d’en étudier eux-mêmes le sens. Lorsqu’Il faisait allusion à la destruction de Jérusalem, Ses paroles prophétiques allaient au-delà de cet événement jusqu’à la conflagration finale de ce jour où le Seigneur sortira de Sa demeure pour punir le monde de son iniquité, où la terre mettra son sang à découvert et ne couvrira plus ses morts. Tout cet entretien fut donné, non pour les disciples seulement, mais pour ceux qui vivraient dans les dernières scènes de l’histoire de cette terre.”
“Turning to the disciples, Christ said, ‘Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.’ Many false messiahs will appear, claiming to work miracles, and declaring that the time of the deliverance of the Jewish nation has come. These will mislead many. Christ’s words were fulfilled. Between His death and the siege of Jerusalem many false messiahs appeared. But this warning was given also to those who live in this age of the world. The same deceptions practiced prior to the destruction of Jerusalem have been practiced through the ages, and will be practiced again.
Se tournant vers les disciples, Christ dit : « Prenez garde que personne ne vous séduise. Car plusieurs viendront sous Mon nom, disant : Je suis le Christ ; et ils séduiront beaucoup de gens. » Beaucoup de faux messies paraîtront, prétendant accomplir des miracles et déclarant que le temps de la délivrance de la nation juive est arrivé. Ceux-ci en égareront un grand nombre. Les paroles du Christ s’accomplirent. Entre Sa mort et le siège de Jérusalem, beaucoup de faux messies parurent. Mais cet avertissement fut aussi donné à ceux qui vivent en cet âge du monde. Les mêmes séductions qui furent pratiquées avant la destruction de Jérusalem l’ont été au cours des siècles, et le seront de nouveau.
“‘And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.’ Prior to the destruction of Jerusalem, men wrestled for the supremacy. Emperors were murdered. Those supposed to be standing next the throne were slain. There were wars and rumors of wars. ‘All these things must come to pass,’ said Christ, ‘but the end [of the Jewish nation as a nation] is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.’ Christ said, As the rabbis see these signs, they will declare them to be God’s judgments upon the nations for holding in bondage His chosen people. They will declare that these signs are the token of the advent of the Messiah. Be not deceived; they are the beginning of His judgments. The people have looked to themselves. They have not repented and been converted that I should heal them. The signs that they represent as tokens of their release from bondage are signs of their destruction.” The Desire of Ages, 628.
“‘तुम युद्धों और युद्धों की अफवाहों के विषय में सुनोगे; सावधान रहो, घबराना मत; क्योंकि इन सब बातों का होना अवश्य है, परन्तु अन्त अभी नहीं है।’ यरूशलेम के विनाश से पहले, मनुष्य प्रभुत्व के लिए संघर्ष कर रहे थे। सम्राटों की हत्या की गई। जो लोग सिंहासन के निकट खड़े होने वाले समझे जाते थे, वे मार डाले गए। युद्ध और युद्धों की अफवाहें थीं। मसीह ने कहा, ‘इन सब बातों का होना अवश्य है, परन्तु अन्त [एक राष्ट्र के रूप में यहूदी जाति का अन्त] अभी नहीं है। क्योंकि जाति पर जाति, और राज्य पर राज्य चढ़ाई करेगा; और जगह-जगह अकाल, और महामारी, और भूकम्प होंगे। ये सब पीड़ाओं का आरम्भ हैं।’ मसीह ने कहा, जैसे ही रब्बी इन चिन्हों को देखेंगे, वे उन्हें उन जातियों पर परमेश्वर के न्याय ठहराएँगे, जिन्होंने उसके चुने हुए लोगों को बन्धन में रखा है। वे घोषणा करेंगे कि ये चिन्ह मसीहा के आगमन के सूचक हैं। धोखा मत खाना; ये उसके न्यायों का आरम्भ हैं। लोगों ने अपनी ही ओर दृष्टि रखी है। उन्होंने न तो मन फिराया और न परिवर्तित हुए, ताकि मैं उन्हें चंगा करूँ। जिन चिन्हों को वे अपने बन्धन से छुटकारे के चिह्न के रूप में प्रस्तुत करते हैं, वे उनके विनाश के चिन्ह हैं।” The Desire of Ages, 628.
The siege of Jerusalem in the year 66, contained the sign of Rome placing its standards in the precinct of the sanctuary. Jesus’ commentary of the events of the period of 66 to 70, aligned the destruction of the year 70 with His Second Coming; and there is a sign associated with His Second Coming.
Cuộc vây hãm Giê-ru-sa-lem vào năm 66 bao hàm dấu hiệu là La Mã đặt các cờ hiệu của mình trong khuôn viên nơi thánh. Lời bình giải của Đức Chúa Jêsus về các biến cố trong giai đoạn từ năm 66 đến năm 70 đã gắn sự hủy diệt vào năm 70 với sự Tái Lâm của Ngài; và có một dấu hiệu gắn liền với sự Tái Lâm của Ngài.
“Soon our eyes were drawn to the East, for a small black cloud had appeared about half as large as a man’s hand, which we all knew was the Sign of the Son of Man.” The Day Star, 1846.
「まもなく私たちの目は東のほうへ引き寄せられた。そこに、人の手の半分ほどの大きさの小さな黒い雲が現れたからである。私たちは皆、それが人の子のしるしであることを知っていた。」The Day Star, 1846.
The beginning and ending of the history of 66 to 70 AD contain a sign associated with the beginning of the siege and the destruction of the city, that aligns with the alpha and omega sign of the death of the desire of the eyes in 587 BC and 586 BC.
Sikusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni komlando ka-66 kuya ku-70 AD kuqukethe isibonakaliso esihambisana nokuqala kokuvinjezelwa nokubhujiswa komuzi, esivumelana nesibonakaliso se-alpha ne-omega sokufa kwesifiso samehlo ngo-587 BC nango-586 BC.
The history of the one-and-a-half-year siege is a “sign,” for the latter days. The foolish virgins represented in the history of Ezekiel find the counterpart in the history of the wise virgins who saw the sign of the siege in the year 66 and fled to safety. The one-and-a-half-year siege is the sign that manifests two classes of worshippers. One class will understand the sign, the other class, represented as “many” by Isaiah—will not see or hear.
L’histoire du siège d’un an et demi est un « signe » pour les derniers jours. Les vierges folles représentées dans l’histoire d’Ézéchiel trouvent leur contrepartie dans l’histoire des vierges sages qui virent le signe du siège en l’an 66 et s’enfuirent vers un lieu sûr. Le siège d’un an et demi est le signe qui manifeste deux classes d’adorateurs. Une classe comprendra le signe ; l’autre classe, représentée comme « beaucoup » par Ésaïe, ne verra ni n’entendra.
Many and Few
Wengi na Wachache
Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:13, 14.
Alors le roi dit aux serviteurs : Lie-le pieds et mains, emmenez-le, et jetez-le dans les ténèbres du dehors ; là, il y aura des pleurs et des grincements de dents. Car il y a beaucoup d’appelés, mais peu d’élus. Matthieu 22:13, 14.
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Matthew 20:16.
Pelo que os últimos serão primeiros, e os primeiros serão últimos; porque muitos são chamados, mas poucos escolhidos. Mateus 20:16.
To See and Hear
Видеть и слышать
There are five acted out parables in the book of Ezekiel and also five times that Ezekiel spoke to the leaders and people. Those two witnesses identify the five foolish virgins who refuse to ‘see’ and refuse to ‘hear.’ They refuse to see or hear the knowledge that is increased when Jesus, who as the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals His prophetic Word.
Ezekiel এর বইত পাঁচটা অভিনীত দৃষ্টান্ত আছে, আর পাঁচবার Ezekiel নেতা আর লোকসকলৰ সৈতে কথা কৈছিল। এই দুজন সাক্ষীয়ে সেই পাঁচজন মূৰ্খ কুমাৰীক চিনাকি কৰায়, যিসকলে ‘দেখিবলৈ’ অস্বীকাৰ কৰে আৰু ‘শুনিবলৈ’ অস্বীকাৰ কৰে। তেওঁলোকে সেই বৃদ্ধি পোৱা জ্ঞান দেখিবলৈ বা শুনিবলৈ অস্বীকাৰ কৰে, যি যীচুৱে, যিহূদা গোতৰৰ সিংহ ৰূপে, নিজৰ ভাববাণীমূলক বাক্যৰ মোহৰ খুলি দিয়াত বৃদ্ধি পায়।
The World will See and Hear
Le Monde verra et entendra
All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. Isaiah 18:3.
ఆకాశమునందలి సమస్త నివాసులారా, భూమిమీద నివసించువారందరారా, ఆయన పర్వతములపై ధ్వజమును ఎత్తునప్పుడు చూచుడి; ఆయన బూర ఊదునప్పుడు ఆలకించుడి. యెషయా 18:3.
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. Isaiah 29:18.
E i den dagen skal de døve høre bokens ord, og de blindes øyne skal se ut av dunkelhet og ut av mørke. Jesaja 29:18.

How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. Jeremiah 4:21, 22.
Berapa lamakah lagi aku akan melihat panji itu dan mendengar bunyi sangkakala? Sebab umat-Ku bodoh, mereka tidak mengenal Aku; mereka adalah anak-anak yang bebal, dan tidak berpengertian sama sekali: mereka pandai berbuat jahat, tetapi untuk berbuat baik mereka tidak mempunyai pengetahuan. Yeremia 4:21, 22.
Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not. Jeremiah 5:20, 21.
Өстү Ягъкуб йортында игълан итегез һәм Яһүдәдә белдерегез, әйтеп: Моны хәзер тыңлагыз, әй акылсыз һәм аңсыз халык; күзләре бар, ләкин күрмиләр; колаклары бар, ләкин ишетмиләр. Иремия 5:20, 21.
A Rebellious House
Un huis rebelle
The word of the Lord also came unto me, saying, Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house. Ezekiel 12:1, 2.
Na ka Jiova sa vosa tale mai vei au, ka kaya, Luve ni tamata, ko sa tiko ena kedra maliwa na mataqali talaidredre, era sa vakamata me ra rai, ka sega ni raica; era sa vakarorogo me ra rogoca, ka sega ni rogoca: ni ra sa mataqali talaidredre. Isikeli 12:1, 2.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Ngakho-ke ngikhuluma kubo ngemifanekiso, ngoba bebona kababoni; bezwa kabezwa, futhi kabaqondi. Kubo kugcwaliseka isiprofetho sika-Isaya esithi: Ngokuzwa niyakuzwa, kepha aniyikuqonda; nangokubona niyakubona, kepha aniyikubona ngokucacileyo. Ngokuba inhliziyo yalesi sizwe isiphuphuthekile, nezindlebe zaso sezisindekile ekuzweni, namehlo aso bawavalile; funa mhlawumbe sibone ngamehlo aso, sizwe ngezindlebe zaso, siqonde ngenhliziyo yaso, siphenduke, mina ngisiphilise.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Matthew 13:13–17.
Mais heureux sont vos yeux, parce qu’ils voient, et vos oreilles, parce qu’elles entendent. Car en vérité je vous le dis, beaucoup de prophètes et de justes ont désiré voir les choses que vous voyez, et ne les ont point vues ; et entendre les choses que vous entendez, et ne les ont point entendues. Matthieu 13:13–17.
The Old Paths
The Old Paths
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Jeremiah 6:16, 17.
Ainsi parle l’Éternel : Tenez-vous sur les chemins, regardez, et demandez quels sont les anciens sentiers, quelle est la bonne voie ; marchez-y, et vous trouverez du repos pour vos âmes. Mais ils ont dit : Nous n’y marcherons pas. J’ai aussi établi sur vous des sentinelles, disant : Soyez attentifs au son de la trompette. Mais ils ont dit : Nous n’y serons pas attentifs. Jérémie 6:16, 17.
The Message of 1840–1844
1840–1844年の使命
“All the messages given from 1840–1844 are to be made forcible now, for there are many people who have lost their bearings. The messages are to go to all the churches.
“Te hare e fana‘o nei i te mau poroi atoa i horoahia mai 1840–1844, no te mea e rave rahi taata ua mo‘ehia to ratou arata‘iraa. E tia i teie mau poroi ia haere atu i te mau ekalesia atoa.
“Christ said, ‘Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them’ [Matthew 13:16, 17]. Blessed are the eyes which saw the things that were seen in 1843 and 1844.
Christ kwuru, ‘Ngọzi nādiri anya-unu, n’ihi na ha nāhu; na nti-unu, n’ihi na ha nānu. N’ihi na n’eziokwu asim unu, na ọtụtụ ndi-amuma na ndi ezi omume chọsiri ike ihu ihe ndị unu nāhu, ma ha ahughi ha; na inu ihe ndị unu nānu, ma ha anughi ha’ [Matthew 13:16, 17]. Ngọzi nādiri anya ndị hụrụ ihe ndị ahụ a hụrụ n’afọ 1843 na 1844.
“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.
“Bango epesamaki. Mpe esengeli kozala na retard te na kozongela bango yango, mpo bilembo ya bantango ezali kokokisama; mosala ya suka esengeli kosalema. Mosala monene moko ekosalema na mwa ntango moke. Etindami moko ekopesa kala mingi te na kopona ya Nzambe, oyo ekokola kino ekokoma koganga makasi.

The Sign of the Siege
ព្រះសញ្ញានៃការឡោមព័ទ្ធ
There is five times in the book of Ezekiel where he ‘acted out’ a parable that the people refused to see, and also five times he ‘spoke’ with those people, who refused to hear. The two witnesses of the acted parable and the speaking were presented to the five foolish virgins. One of the acted parables, located in chapter four represents the “sign” of the siege, that warns of the coming destruction. The message of Ezekiel is the message to Laodicea.
Ezekiel ၏ကျမ်းစာအုပ်၌ သူသည် လူများက မမြင်လိုသော ဥပမာတစ်ရပ်ကို “အပြုအမူအားဖြင့်” ဖော်ဆောင်ခဲ့သော အကြိမ် ငါးကြိမ် ရှိသကဲ့သို့၊ ထိုလူများက မကြားလိုသောကြောင့် သူသည် သူတို့အား “နှုတ်ကပတ်တော်အားဖြင့်” ပြောကြားခဲ့သော အကြိမ် ငါးကြိမ်လည်း ရှိသည်။ အပြုအမူဖြင့် ဖော်ဆောင်သော ဥပမာနှင့် နှုတ်ကပတ်တော်ဖြင့် ပြောကြားခြင်း ဟူသော သက်သေ နှစ်ပါးကို မိုက်မဲသော ကညာငါးဦးရှေ့၌ တင်ပြခဲ့သည်။ အခန်း ၄ တွင် တွေ့ရသော အပြုအမူဖြင့် ဖော်ဆောင်သော ဥပမာများထဲမှ တစ်ရပ်သည် ဝိုင်းထားခြင်း၏ “နိမိတ်လက္ခဏာ” ကို ကိုယ်စားပြု၍၊ ရောက်လာမည့် ဖျက်ဆီးခြင်းအကြောင်း သတိပေးထားသည်။ Ezekiel ၏ သတင်းစကားသည် Laodicea သို့ ပေးသော သတင်းစကားဖြစ်သည်။
The “sign” given for Laodicea is the ‘sign of the siege’, and the siege of the latter days is represented by several witnesses. The only sign given to the Jews of Christ’s day was the sign of Jonah, who represents an acted-out parable of three days in the belly of a whale.
Le « signe » donné à Laodicée est le « signe du siège », et le siège des derniers jours est représenté par plusieurs témoins. Le seul signe donné aux Juifs du temps du Christ était le signe de Jonas, qui représente une parabole mise en acte de trois jours dans le ventre d’une baleine.
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Matthew 12:38–40.
Тогда некоторые из книжников и фарисеев сказали в ответ: Учитель! хотелось бы нам увидеть от Тебя знамение. Но Он сказал им в ответ: род лукавый и прелюбодейный ищет знамения; и знамение не дастся ему, кроме знамения Ионы пророка: ибо, как Иона был во чреве кита три дня и три ночи, так и Сын Человеческий будет в сердце земли три дня и три ночи. Матфея 12:38–40.
The Sign of Jonah
ਦਾਅਵਾ ਯੂਨਾਹ ਦਾ निशਾਨ
The sign of Jonah was an acted-out parable of a resurrection from death. John represents the same truth, for he was cast into a boiling pot of oil, and came out alive. Daniel in the lion’s den and the three worthies in the furnace of Nebuchadnezzar represent a resurrection from death. All represent the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are resurrected in Revelation chapter eleven.
Le signe de Jonas était une parabole mise en action d’une résurrection d’entre les morts. Jean représente la même vérité, car il fut jeté dans une chaudière d’huile bouillante et en sortit vivant. Daniel dans la fosse aux lions et les trois fidèles dans la fournaise de Nebucadnetsar représentent une résurrection d’entre les morts. Tous représentent les cent quarante-quatre mille qui ressuscitent dans Apocalypse, chapitre onze.
“The thoughts of the Saviour now returned from contemplating the past and future. While the people were endeavoring to explain what they had seen and heard according to the impressions made upon their minds, and according to the light they possessed, ‘Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.’ It was the crowning evidence of his Messiahship, the signal of the Father that Jesus had uttered the truth, and was the Son of God. Would the Jews turn from this testimony of high Heaven? They had once asked the Saviour, What sign showest thou that we may see and believe? Innumerable signs had been given all through the ministry of Christ; yet they had closed their eyes and hardened their hearts lest they should be convinced. The crowning miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus did not remove their unbelief, but filled them with increased malice; and now that the Father had spoken, and they could ask for no further sign, their hearts were not softened and they still refused to believe.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 3, 79.
“Ko kangeleko ka Mutubulushi kaavela kabili ukufuma ku kutontonkanya pa bya kale na pa bya mu mazuuba aya cisa. Apo abantu baali mu kushipikisha ukusosolola ibyo baamwene ne byo baumfwile ukulingana ne mipangile eyapanganishiwe mu mano yabo, kandi ukulingana ne lubuto ulo baali nalwo, ‘Yesu aaswike, ati, Ili izwi tali ukwisa pa mulandu wandi, lelo pa mulandu wenu.’ Bwali ubunte ubwapelako pa buMesaya bwakwe, icishibilo ca kwa Wishi ukuti Yesu aali aasosa ukwa cine, kandi aali Mwana wa Leza. Bushe AbaYuda bali no kupilibuka ukufuma ku buunte ubu ubwa ku Muulu ukwabula? Kale baalipwishe Umubulushi, Bupingushi nshi ubulesosya kuti tulemona no kwitabila? Bupingushi butaali kubala bwali bupelwa mu mulimo onse owa kwa Kristu; lelo baalishibilike amenso yabo no kukomesha imitima yabo, ukuti bangacingililwa. Icipesha amano icya kupelako, ukuvumbuka kwa kwa Lazaro, tacalefumishe ukutetekela kwabo, lelo caabapele ububi ubwingi bwa kwenguluka; kandi nomba, apo Wishi aasose, kabili tabaakwete ukulomba bupingushi bumbi na bumbi, imitima yabo taayalengeshe, kandi bacili baakana ukwitabila.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 3, 79.
Lazarus was the sign of the resurrection as acted out by Jonah in the belly of the whale. The voice of the Father in connection with the resurrected Lazarus represents the combination of Divinity and humanity, which is of course the nature of Christ, who took human flesh upon Himself. The combination of Divinity with humanity is the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and Lazarus is the sign of resurrection power which accomplishes the joining of Creator with creature.
Lazare était le signe de la résurrection telle qu’elle fut figurée par Jonas dans le ventre de la baleine. La voix du Père en rapport avec Lazare ressuscité représente l’union de la divinité et de l’humanité, laquelle est, bien entendu, la nature du Christ, qui prit sur Lui la chair humaine. L’union de la divinité avec l’humanité est l’étendard des cent quarante-quatre mille, et Lazare est le signe de la puissance de la résurrection qui accomplit l’union du Créateur avec la créature.
“By the raising of Lazarus, many were led to believe in Jesus. It was God’s plan that Lazarus should die and be laid in the tomb before the Saviour should arrive. The raising of Lazarus was Christ’s crowning miracle, and because of it many glorified God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 111.
« Par la résurrection de Lazare, beaucoup furent amenés à croire en Jésus. C’était le dessein de Dieu que Lazare mourût et fût déposé dans le tombeau avant l’arrivée du Sauveur. La résurrection de Lazare fut le miracle suprême du Christ, et, à cause d’elle, beaucoup glorifièrent Dieu. » Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 111.
Lazarus led the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and he was the living “sign” of the resurrection that is illustrated by Jonah.
Lazaro akamba emabega okuyingira okw’obuwanguzi mu Yerusaalemi, era yali “akabonero” akalamu ak’okuzuukira okwo okulagibwa Yona.
“Lazarus, whose body had seen corruption in the grave, but who now rejoiced in the strength of glorious manhood, led the beast on which the Saviour rode.” The Desire of Ages, 572.
«Лазар, чиє тіло в гробі зазнало тління, але який тепер радів силі славного мужнього віку, вів тварину, на якій їхав Спаситель». Бажання віків, 572.
The triumphal entry aligns with the Exeter camp meeting, which was the alpha fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins, and thus aligns the “sign” of Jonah and Lazarus with the omega and perfect fulfillment of the proclamation of the message, “Behold the Bridegroom cometh!”
Å inngå triumferende svarer til Exeter-leirmøtet, som var alfaoppfyllelsen av lignelsen om de ti jomfruer, og således sammenføyer «tegnet» om Jona og Lasarus med omegaen og den fullkomne oppfyllelsen av forkynnelsen av budskapet: «Se, Brudgommen kommer!»
“I am often referred to the parable of the ten virgins, five of whom were wise, and five foolish. This parable has been and will be fulfilled to the very letter, for it has a special application to this time, and, like the third angel’s message, has been fulfilled and will continue to be present truth till the close of time.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.
«ما را بارها به مَثَلِ ده باکره ارجاع میدهند که پنجِ ایشان دانا بودند و پنج نادان. این مَثَل تا به آخرین جزئیات خود به انجام رسیده است و خواهد رسید، زیرا کاربردی ویژه برای این زمان دارد و همچون پیامِ فرشتهٔ سوم، به انجام رسیده است و همچنان تا پایان زمان، حقیقتِ حاضر خواهد بود.» ریویو اند هرالد، ۱۹ اوت ۱۸۹۰.
Jonah, Lazarus and Samuel Snow arriving late to the Exeter camp meeting align with Ezekiel’s “sign of the siege.” Lazarus led Christ into Jerusalem on an ass.
Yona, Lazarus, na Samuel Snow kuchelewa kufika kwenye mkutano wa kambi wa Exeter kunapatana na “ishara ya mazingirwa” ya Ezekieli. Lazarus alimwongoza Kristo kuingia Yerusalemu akiwa juu ya punda.
“Bates was one of the important leaders in the Exeter (New Hampshire) camp meeting in August, 1844, when the ‘true midnight cry’ was first presented. Bates, it happened, was the preacher chosen for that morning’s service at the camp. He was exhorting his hearers to be faithful and calmly assuring them that God was simply testing them, that they were in the tarrying time, and similar sentiments, when Samuel S. Snow rode into the camp on horseback. Taking a seat beside his sister, Mrs. John Couch, Snow reiterated his conviction that Christ would appear at the time appointed. Greatly stirred, Mrs. Couch startled the audience by rising and declaring, ‘Here is a man with a message from God!’” Leroy Froom, The Prophetic Faith of our Fathers, volume 4, 549.
「ベイツは、1844年8月に行われたエクセター(ニューハンプシャー)での天幕集会における重要な指導者の一人であり、その折に初めて『真の真夜中の叫び』が提示された。折しもベイツは、その朝の天幕集会の礼拝において説教者として選ばれていた。彼は聴衆に忠実であるよう勧め、神はただ彼らを試しておられるのであり、彼らは遅延の時の中にあるのだ、といった趣旨のことを落ち着いて確信をもって語っていた。そのとき、サミュエル・S・スノーが馬に乗って天幕集会の会場に到着した。姉妹ジョン・カウチ夫人の傍らに席を取ると、スノーは、キリストが定められた時に現れ給うとの確信をあらためて表明した。深く心を動かされたカウチ夫人は、立ち上がって『ここに神からの使命を携えた人がいます!』と宣言し、会衆を驚かせた。」Leroy Froom, The Prophetic Faith of our Fathers, volume 4, 549.
In April, 1521 Martin Luther travelled in a horse drawn wagon to the Diet of Worms, where he rejected papal traditions and customs and stated, “Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason… I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen.”
Ngo-Epreli 1521, uMartin Luther wahamba ngenqola edonswa ngamahhashi eya eDiet yaseWorms, lapho enqaba khona amasiko nemikhuba yobupapa futhi wathi: “Ngaphandle kokuba ngiqiniswe ubufakazi bemiBhalo noma isizathu esicacileyo… angikwazi futhi angeke ngihoxise lutho, njengoba kungaphephile futhi kungalungile ukuphambana nonembeza. Ngimi lapha. Anginakwenza okunye. UNkulunkulu angisize. Amen.”
As the Pharisees opposed Christ’s triumphal entry, the papal authorities opposed Luther’s entry. Luther then changed his name (a symbol of the sealing) and was hidden away while he translated the New Testament into the German language. His presentation at the Diet of Worms typified the Midnight Cry which led to the death decree from the church state authorities of the time, thus typifying the Sunday law. After ten months in hiding under the name of ‘Junker Jörg’ the threat from authorities had changed, largely to two military problems faced by the corrupt Charles V. Those two military threats were France and Islam, representing the same unholy alliance of socialism and Islam that today is confronting mankind.
Díreach mar a chuir na Fairisínigh i gcoinne iontráil bhuacach Chríost, chuir na húdaráis phápaí i gcoinne iontráil Luther. Ansin d’athraigh Luther a ainm (siombail den shéalú) agus coinníodh i bhfolach é agus é ag aistriú an Tiomna Nua go teanga na Gearmáinise. Ba shamhlú a chur i láthair ag Aiste Worms den Ghlao Meán Oíche, rud a d’fhág foraithne báis ó údaráis eaglaise agus stáit an ama sin, agus mar sin ba shamhlú é den dlí Domhnaigh. Tar éis deich mí i bhfolach faoin ainm ‘Junker Jörg’, bhí an bhagairt ó na húdaráis athraithe, den chuid is mó, go dtí dhá fhadhb mhíleata a bhí roimh Charles V truaillithe. Ba iad an Fhrainc agus an tIoslam an dá bhagairt mhíleata sin, ag léiriú an chomhghuaillíocht mhímhacánta chéanna idir an sóisialachas agus an tIoslam atá ag tabhairt aghaidh ar an gcine daonna inniu.
“The work of God in the earth presents, from age to age, a striking similarity in every great reformation or religious movement. The principles of God’s dealing with men are ever the same. The important movements of the present have their parallel in those of the past, and the experience of the church in former ages has lessons of great value for our own time.” The Great Controversy, 343.
„Lærdómur Guðs á jörðinni sýnir, frá einni öld til annarrar, sláandi líkindi í sérhverri mikilli siðbót eða trúarhreyfingu. Meginreglur þess hvernig Guð kemur fram við menn eru ávallt hinar sömu. Mikilvægar hreyfingar samtímans eiga sér hliðstæður í fortíðinni, og reynsla kirkjunnar á fyrri öldum hefur lærdóma mikils virði fyrir okkar eigin tíma.“ The Great Controversy, 343.
An ass led by Lazarus brought Christ into Jerusalem, a horse drawn carriage brought Luther to the Diet of Worms, and a horse brought Snow to the Exeter camp meeting, thus identifying the ass, and horse, both members of the “Equidae” family in the genus “Equus,” as the sign of the message of the Midnight Cry.
Ein Esel, von Lazarus geführt, brachte Christus nach Jerusalem; eine von Pferden gezogene Kutsche brachte Luther zum Reichstag zu Worms; und ein Pferd brachte Snow zur Lagerversammlung in Exeter. So werden der Esel und das Pferd, beide Glieder der Familie der „Equidae“ in der Gattung „Equus“, als das Zeichen der Botschaft des Mitternachtsrufs kenntlich gemacht.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Zechariah 9:9.
Réjouis-toi avec une grande allégresse, fille de Sion ; pousse des cris de joie, fille de Jérusalem : voici, ton Roi vient à toi ; il est juste et porteur de salut ; humble, et monté sur un âne, sur un ânon, le petit d’une ânesse. Zacharie 9:9.
The sign of the Midnight Cry message is the arrival of the ass or horse, both symbols of Islam. The chosen messenger of the true message of the midnight cry arrived upon a horse in alignment with Christ arriving on an ass. The “siege” in the latter days is marked by the fulfillment of Ellen White’s identification that the city of Nashville is to be struck by “fireballs.”
Le signe du message du Cri de Minuit est l’arrivée de l’âne ou du cheval, tous deux symboles de l’islam. Le messager choisi du véritable message du cri de minuit est arrivé sur un cheval, en harmonie avec l’arrivée du Christ sur un âne. Le « siège » des derniers jours est marqué par l’accomplissement de l’identification donnée par Ellen White selon laquelle la ville de Nashville doit être frappée par des « boules de feu ».
Why does the siege begin at the fireballs of Nashville? Is it because Islam is represented by the ass and the horse in God’s prophetic Word?
¿Por qué comienza el asedio en las bolas de fuego de Nashville? ¿Es porque el islam está representado por el asno y el caballo en la Palabra profética de Dios?
Smyrna
સ્મૂર્ણા
The Emperor Nero marks the beginning of the church of Smyrna when the city of Rome was burned in the year 64. The date marks the beginning of the persecution of the Christian church accomplished over a two hundred and fifty year period that concluded at the Edict of Milan in the year 313. The formation of the image of the beast represents the alpha waymark that introduces a period that ends with an omega waymark represented by the mark of the beast at the soon-coming Sunday law. The period is identified as beginning with “edicts.”
Kaizaro Nero žymi Smirnos bažnyčios pradžią, kai 64 metais buvo sudegintas Romos miestas. Ši data žymi krikščionių bažnyčios persekiojimo, vykdyto per dviejų šimtų penkiasdešimties metų laikotarpį, kuris baigėsi 313 metais Milano ediktu, pradžią. Žvėries atvaizdo suformavimas reiškia alfa gairę, įvedančią laikotarpį, kuris baigiasi omega gaire, vaizduojama žvėries ženklu prie netrukus ateisiančio sekmadienio įstatymo. Šis laikotarpis įvardijamas kaip prasidedantis „ediktais“.
“If the reader would understand the agencies to be employed in the soon-coming contest, he has but to trace the record of the means which Rome employed for the same object in ages past. If he would know how papists and Protestants united will deal with those who reject their dogmas, let him see the spirit which Rome manifested toward the Sabbath and its defenders.
«Si le lecteur veut comprendre les agents qui seront employés dans le conflit imminent, il n’a qu’à retracer le récit des moyens dont Rome s’est servie, dans les siècles passés, pour atteindre le même but. S’il veut savoir comment les papistes et les protestants unis traiteront ceux qui rejettent leurs dogmes, qu’il considère l’esprit que Rome a manifesté à l’égard du sabbat et de ses défenseurs. »
“Royal edicts, general councils, and church ordinances sustained by secular power were the steps by which the pagan festival attained its position of honor in the Christian world. The first public measure enforcing Sunday observance was the law enacted by Constantine. (A.D. 321; see Appendix note for page 53.) This edict required townspeople to rest on ‘the venerable day of the sun,’ but permitted countrymen to continue their agricultural pursuits. Though virtually a heathen statute, it was enforced by the emperor after his nominal acceptance of Christianity.” The Great Controversy, 574.
«Ҳукмҳои подшоҳӣ, шӯроҳои умумӣ ва ойинномаҳои калисоӣ, ки бо қудрати дунявӣ пуштибонӣ мешуданд, зинаҳое буданд, ки ба воситаи онҳо иди бутпарастӣ ба мақоми шарафманди худ дар ҷаҳони масеҳӣ расид. Аввалин тадбири оммавӣ, ки риояи рӯзи якшанберо маҷбур месохт, қонуне буд, ки аз ҷониби Константин қабул гардид. (A.D. 321; нигаред ба ёддошти замима барои саҳифаи 53.) Ин фармон аз сокинони шаҳрҳо талаб мекард, ки дар «рӯзи муқаддаси офтоб» истироҳат кунанд, аммо ба аҳли деҳот иҷозат медод, ки машғулиятҳои кишоварзии худро идома диҳанд. Гарчанде ки ин, дар асл, қонуни бутпарастона буд, император пас аз пазируфтани номии масеҳият онро ба иҷро даровард». «Баҳси Бузург», 574.
The first royal edict that marked a transition from the church of Smyrna to the church of Pergamos was the Edict of Milan in 313. It represented the first step which led to the first Sunday law of 321. The destruction of Jerusalem typifies the Sunday law, and two prophetic witnesses identify a siege that preceded the destruction. Those two sieges represented by Babylon’s third siege in 587 BC and Rome’s second siege in the year 70 identify that the waymark that precedes the waymark of the Sunday law—is a prophetic siege.
Qarasa mootummaa isa jalqabaa kan ce’umsa waldaa Simarnaa irraa gara waldaa Pargamoonitti agarsiise, Qarasa Miilaan isa bara 313 ture. Innis tarkaanfii isa jalqabaa kan seera Dilbataa isa jalqabaa bara 321tti geesse ture. Badiinni Yerusaalem seera Dilbataa fakkeessa; ragoonni raajii lamaan immoo marfamuu tokko kan badiina sana dura ture ni adda baasu. Marfamoonni lamaan kun, isa marfamuu sadaffaa Baabilon bara 587 Dh.K.D. fi isa marfamuu lammaffaa Roomaa bara 70tti bakka bu’an, mallattoon daandii kan mallattoo daandii seera Dilbataa dura jiru—marfamuu raajii akka ta’e ni mul’isu.
Nebuchadnezzar laid siege against Jehoiakim, then Jehoiachin and finally Zedekiah. Cestius laid siege in the year 66, and fulfilled the sign Jesus had given the church, just as the third siege of 587 BC possessed the sign of Ezekiel’s wife’s death. The waymark that precedes the destruction of Jerusalem is a siege, and it is also a “sign.” The waymark that preceded the Sunday law of 321 was the Edict of Milan, where the transition from a church (Smyrna) that has no condemnation into Pergamos, the symbol of a compromised church.
Nebukadnezar mese Jehoiakim, zad Jehojachin, a konečně Sidkijah. Cestius oblehal v roce 66 a naplnil znamení, které Ježíš dal církvi, právě tak jako třetí obléhání roku 587 př. Kr. neslo znamení smrti Ezechielovy manželky. Mezník, který předchází zničení Jeruzaléma, je obléhání, a je také „znamením“. Mezníkem, který předcházel nedělnímu zákonu roku 321, byl Milánský edikt, v němž se uskutečnil přechod od církve (Smyrna), která nemá žádné odsouzení, k Pergamu, symbolu zkompromitované církve.
The Edict of Milan is therefore the beginning of a prophetic siege, and it is also a sign. It also marks where the Laodicean movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand transitions unto the Philadelphian movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
Kwa hiyo, Amri ya Milano ndiyo mwanzo wa mazingiro ya kinabii, nayo pia ni ishara. Tena, inaashiria mahali ambapo vuguvugu la Walaodekia la wale mia moja arobaini na nne elfu linapogeukia kuwa vuguvugu la Filadelfia la wale mia moja arobaini na nne elfu.
Philadelphia and Smyrna, represent the only two churches in Revelation’s seven churches which have no condemnation. This fact in turn identifies that transition, as the transition of the church militant unto the church triumphant. That transition aligns with the Edict of Milan, where the latter-day movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand becomes that eighth church, that is of the seven. Philadelphia and Smyrna are also the only two churches that struggle with those who claim they are Jews, but are actually of the synagogue of Satan.
Philadelphia et Smyrne représentent les seules deux Églises, parmi les sept Églises de l’Apocalypse, qui ne reçoivent aucune condamnation. Ce fait identifie à son tour cette transition comme le passage de l’Église militante à l’Église triomphante. Cette transition correspond à l’Édit de Milan, où le mouvement des derniers jours des cent quarante-quatre mille devient cette huitième Église, qui est issue des sept. Philadelphia et Smyrne sont aussi les seules deux Églises qui luttent contre ceux qui prétendent être Juifs, mais qui sont en réalité de la synagogue de Satan.
That waymark of 313 also aligns with the Exeter camp meeting from August 12 to 17 in 1844. When the camp meeting ended, the message swept across the eastern seaboard of the United States like a tidal wave until the door closed on October 22, 1844.
Yo ak prèj chemen 313 a ann amoni tou ak reyinyon kan Exeter la, ki te fèt soti 12 pou rive 17 out 1844. Lè reyinyon kan an te fini, mesaj la te gaye sou tout kòt lès Etazini tankou yon vag lanmè pwisan, jouk lè pòt la te fèmen nan 22 oktòb 1844.
“Like a tidal wave the movement swept over the land. From city to city, from village to village, and into remote country places it went, until the waiting people of God were fully aroused. Fanaticism disappeared before this proclamation like early frost before the rising sun. Believers saw their doubt and perplexity removed, and hope and courage animated their hearts. The work was free from those extremes which are ever manifested when there is human excitement without the controlling influence of the word and Spirit of God. It was similar in character to those seasons of humiliation and returning unto the Lord which among ancient Israel followed messages of reproof from His servants. It bore the characteristics that mark the work of God in every age. There was little ecstatic joy, but rather deep searching of heart, confession of sin, and forsaking of the world. A preparation to meet the Lord was the burden of agonizing spirits. There was persevering prayer and unreserved consecration to God.” The Great Controversy, 400, 401.
“Jako přílivová vlna se toto hnutí přehnalo přes zemi. Šlo od města k městu, od vesnice k vesnici, a pronikalo i do odlehlých venkovských míst, až byl čekající Boží lid plně probuzen. Fanatismus před tímto zvěstováním mizel jako časný mráz před vycházejícím sluncem. Věřící viděli, jak jsou jejich pochybnosti a zmatky odstraněny, a jejich srdce oživla nadějí a odvahou. Dílo bylo prosté oněch krajností, které se vždy projevují tam, kde je lidské vzrušení bez usměrňujícího vlivu slova a Ducha Božího. Svým charakterem se podobalo oněm obdobím pokoření a návratu k Hospodinu, která ve starověkém Izraeli následovala po poselstvích napomenutí od Jeho služebníků. Neslo znaky, jež v každém věku označují Boží dílo. Bylo v něm málo extatické radosti, nýbrž spíše hluboké zpytování srdce, vyznávání hříchu a zanechání světa. Příprava na setkání s Pánem byla břemenem úzkostně zápasících duší. Byla tu vytrvalá modlitba a bezvýhradné zasvěcení Bohu.” Velké drama věků, 400, 401.
The door closing on October 22, 1844 typifies the soon-coming Sunday law, and the waymark that preceded the closed door of October 22, was the Exeter camp meeting. The Exeter camp meeting therefore aligns with the Edict of Milan. It also aligns with Christ’s triumphal entry.
بسته شدنِ در در ۲۲ اکتبر ۱۸۴۴، نمونهای از قانون یکشنبهایِ قریبالوقوع است، و نشانهای که پیش از درِ بستهٔ ۲۲ اکتبر قرار داشت، گردهمایی اردوییِ اکزتر بود. بنابراین، گردهمایی اردوییِ اکزتر با فرمان میلان همراستا است. همچنین با ورودِ ظفرمندانهٔ مسیح نیز همراستا است.
“The midnight cry was not so much carried by argument, though the Scripture proof was clear and conclusive. There went with it an impelling power that moved the soul. There was no doubt, no questioning. Upon the occasion of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the people who were assembled from all parts of the land to keep the feast, flocked to the Mount of Olives, and as they joined the throng that were escorting Jesus, they caught the inspiration of the hour, and helped to swell the shout, ‘Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!’ [Matthew 21:9.] In like manner did unbelievers who flocked to the Adventist meetings—some from curiosity, some merely to ridicule—feel the convincing power attending the message, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!’” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 250.
«Фарёди нисфи шаб на он андоза тавассути баҳсҳо интиқол намеёфт, ҳарчанд далели Навиштаҳо равшан ва қатъӣ буд. Бо он қувваи барангезандае ҳамроҳ буд, ки ҷонро ба ҳаракат меовард. Ҳеҷ шакке, ҳеҷ пурсише набуд. Ҳангоми вуруди зафармандонаи Масеҳ ба Ерусалим, мардумоне ки аз ҳамаи гӯшаҳои замин барои нигаҳ доштани ид ҷамъ омада буданд, ба кӯҳи Зайтун шитофтанд; ва чун ба анбӯҳе, ки Исоро ҳамроҳӣ мекард, ҳамроҳ шуданд, илҳоми он соатро дарёфтанд ва ба афзудани нидо ёрӣ расониданд: “Муборак аст Ӯ, ки ба исми Худованд меояд!” [Matthew 21:9.] Ба ҳамин монанд, беимонон низ, ки ба маҷлисҳои адвентистӣ мешитофтанд,—бархе аз рӯйи кунҷковӣ, бархе танҳо барои масхара кардан,—қувваи мутмаинкунандаеро, ки паёмро ҳамроҳӣ мекард, эҳсос менамуданд: “Инак, Домод меояд!”» Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 250.
The Edict of Milan marks the prophetic siege that was typified by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BC and Cestius in the year 66. Those two sieges led to the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC and 70, respectively. The siege of Cestius ended and three and a half years later, the siege resumed under Titus, thus providing a prophetic period that begins with an alpha Roman ruler and ends with an omega ruler. Those three and a half years represent the trampling down of Jerusalem by the papacy, and the soon-coming Sunday law when the papacy’s deadly wound is healed and she reigns again for three and a half symbolic years.
Mamandlak ib decret ti Milan ti naimpadtoan a pannakaikkubkob a naipaduyakyak ken Nebuchadnezzar idi 587 a.C. ken ken Cestio idi tawen 66. Dagitoy dua a pannakaikkubkob ket nangiturong iti pannakadadael ti Jerusalem idi 586 a.C. ken 70, a masigud.

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. Revelation 11:2.
Nayi lɔ la si le gbedoxɔ la ƒe godoo la, gblɔe ɖa, eye nèga-metee o; elabena wotsɔe na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o: eye du kɔkɔe la woaɖe afɔ teƒe le edzi ɣleti blaene kple eve. Nyaɖeɖefia 11:2.
In 538, and then again at the coming Sunday law the trampling down of Jerusalem begins. Those two Sunday laws were represented by the year 321 when Constantine the Great passed the first Sunday law. In 538, the papacy was empowered to persecute (trample down) God’s church for three and a half years, as represented by the history from Cestius to Titus. In 538, the papacy passed a Sunday law at the third Counsel of Orleans. The soon-coming Sunday law identifies when the papacy is again empowered to trample down the temple (persecute).
En 538, puis de nouveau lors de la loi dominicale à venir, commence le foulage de Jérusalem. Ces deux lois dominicales étaient représentées par l’année 321, lorsque Constantin le Grand promulgua la première loi dominicale. En 538, la papauté reçut le pouvoir de persécuter (fouler aux pieds) l’Église de Dieu pendant trois ans et demi, comme le représente l’histoire allant de Cestius à Titus. En 538, la papauté promulgua une loi dominicale au troisième Concile d’Orléans. La loi dominicale qui doit bientôt venir identifie le moment où la papauté reçoit de nouveau le pouvoir de fouler aux pieds le temple (persécuter).
313 identifies the first edict that led to the first Sunday law in 321. Then in 330, the empire was prophetically divided into east and west, thus marking the omega conclusion of the second period of papal persecution of “forty-two” symbolic months—a period of persecution and trampling down that began at the alpha Sunday law in the United States.
313 identifie le premier édit qui conduisit à la première loi dominicale en 321. Puis, en 330, l’empire fut prophétiquement divisé en Orient et en Occident, marquant ainsi la conclusion oméga de la seconde période de persécution papale des « quarante-deux » mois symboliques — une période de persécution et de foulage aux pieds qui commença avec la loi dominicale alpha aux États-Unis.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:9–12.
Et le troisième ange les suivit, disant d’une voix forte : Si quelqu’un adore la bête et son image, et reçoit sa marque sur son front ou sur sa main, il boira, lui aussi, du vin de la colère de Dieu, versé sans mélange dans la coupe de son indignation ; et il sera tourmenté dans le feu et le soufre, devant les saints anges et devant l’Agneau. Et la fumée de leur tourment monte aux siècles des siècles ; et ils n’ont de repos ni jour ni nuit, ceux qui adorent la bête et son image, et quiconque reçoit la marque de son nom. C’est ici la persévérance des saints : ce sont ceux qui gardent les commandements de Dieu et la foi de Jésus. Apocalypse 14:9–12.
The Plain
Düzlük
The Latin meaning of ‘Milan’ means the middle of the plain. In the middle of east and west, in the year 313 Constantine of the west sought an alliance with Licinius of the east. The edict represented the attempt to bring east and west together, and the edict was ratified, by a treaty marriage, when Constantine’s half-sister Constantia married Licinius. Yet just as the first treaty marriage of Daniel eleven between the Seleucids of the north and Ptolemy of the south, the marriage was destined to fail as the old adage was fulfilled that says ‘east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet.’

The year ‘330’ is directly presented in Daniel eleven verses twenty-four, twenty-seven and twenty-nine. This brings the seventeen years of 313 unto 330 into the prophetic line of Daniel eleven, and of prophetic necessity it identifies that treaty marriage of east and west in 313 as a parallel to the first treaty marriage in the same chapter.

“The prophecy in the eleventh of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Much of the history that has taken place in fulfillment of this prophecy will be repeated.” Manuscript Releases, number 13, 394.
« La prophétie du chapitre 11 de Daniel est presque parvenue à son accomplissement complet. Une grande partie de l’histoire qui s’est déroulée en accomplissement de cette prophétie se répétera. » Manuscript Releases, n° 13, p. 394.
Antiochus II Theos who reigned from 261–246 BC, set aside his first wife Laodice I for Berenice, daughter of Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt. The marriage was part of the peace settlement that ended the Second Syrian War in 252 BC. When Constantine thereafter defeated Licinius in 324 the marriage ended, as did the marriage of Antiochus and Bernice, when Laodice, the first wife poisoned Antiochus in 246 BC. The marriage which had marked the end of the second Syrian war, and the murder of Antiochus, and thereafter Bernice, her child and Egyptian entourage marked the beginning of the third Syrian war. The treaty marriage of 313 ended the period of persecution represented by the church of Smyrna and began the period of compromise represented by the church of Pergamos.
ਅੰਤਿਓਖੁਸ II ਥੇਓਸ, ਜਿਸ ਨੇ 261–246 ਈ.ਪੂ. ਤੱਕ ਰਾਜ ਕੀਤਾ, ਨੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਲਾਓਡੀਸੇ I ਨੂੰ ਤਿਆਗ ਕੇ ਮਿਸਰ ਦੇ ਪਟੋਲਮੀ II ਫਿਲਾਡੈਲਫੁਸ ਦੀ ਧੀ ਬੇਰੇਨੀਕੇ ਨਾਲ ਵਿਆਹ ਕੀਤਾ। ਇਹ ਵਿਆਹ 252 ਈ.ਪੂ. ਵਿੱਚ ਦੂਜੇ ਸਿਰੀਆਈ ਯੁੱਧ ਦਾ ਅੰਤ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਸ਼ਾਂਤੀ ਸਮਝੌਤੇ ਦਾ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਸੀ। ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਜਦੋਂ ਕੌਂਸਟੈਂਟਾਈਨ ਨੇ 324 ਵਿੱਚ ਲਿਸਿਨਿਯਸ ਨੂੰ ਪਰਾਜਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ, ਤਾਂ ਉਹ ਵਿਆਹ ਸਮਾਪਤ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ, ਜਿਵੇਂ ਅੰਤਿਓਖੁਸ ਅਤੇ ਬੇਰੇਨੀਕੇ ਦਾ ਵਿਆਹ ਵੀ ਸਮਾਪਤ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ, ਜਦੋਂ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਪਤਨੀ ਲਾਓਡੀਸੇ ਨੇ 246 ਈ.ਪੂ. ਵਿੱਚ ਅੰਤਿਓਖੁਸ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਸ਼ ਦੇ ਕੇ ਮਾਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਉਹ ਵਿਆਹ, ਜਿਸ ਨੇ ਦੂਜੇ ਸਿਰੀਆਈ ਯੁੱਧ ਦੇ ਅੰਤ ਨੂੰ ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਸੀ, ਅਤੇ ਅੰਤਿਓਖੁਸ ਦੀ ਹੱਤਿਆ, ਅਤੇ ਇਸ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਬੇਰੇਨੀਕੇ, ਉਸ ਦੇ ਬੱਚੇ ਅਤੇ ਮਿਸਰੀ ਸਾਥੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਹੱਤਿਆ ਨੇ ਤੀਸਰੇ ਸਿਰੀਆਈ ਯੁੱਧ ਦੀ ਸ਼ੁਰੂਆਤ ਨੂੰ ਚਿੰਨ੍ਹਿਤ ਕੀਤਾ। 313 ਦੇ ਸੰਧੀ-ਵਿਆਹ ਨੇ ਸਮਿਰਨਾ ਦੀ ਕਲੀਸਿਆ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਦਰਸਾਏ ਗਏ ਉਤਪੀੜਨ ਦੇ ਯੁੱਗ ਦਾ ਅੰਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਪਰਗਾਮੁਸ ਦੀ ਕਲੀਸਿਆ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਦਰਸਾਏ ਗਏ ਸਮਝੌਤੇ ਦੇ ਯੁੱਗ ਦੀ ਸ਼ੁਰੂਆਤ ਕੀਤੀ।
The marriage at the beginning of the Seleucid history typified the treaty marriage at the end of the Seleucid empire when Antiochus the Great gave his daughter Cleopatra I to Ptolemy V Epiphanes. The marriage took place at Raphia in 193 BC, but the alliance was soon finished, as had been the first treaty marriage between the king of the north and king of the south. The alpha and omega treaty marriages of the Seleucid empire, typify the treaty marriage noted later in the prophetic history of Daniel eleven when Octavian gave his sister Octavia Minor to Mark Antony in 40 BC. Mark Antony and Octavian were in a power struggle over the eastern and western areas of Rome that had broken out in 44 BC with the assassination of Julius Caesar. The treaty of Brundisium was put in place at the marriage in 40 BC, and eight years later in 32 BC Mark Antony formerly divorced Octavia and precipitated the battle of Actium in 31 BC where both Mark Antony and Cleopatra, (the very last Cleopatra) came to the end.
Le mariage au commencement de l’histoire séleucide préfigurait le mariage d’alliance à la fin de l’empire séleucide, lorsque Antiochos le Grand donna sa fille Cléopâtre Ire à Ptolémée V Épiphane. Le mariage eut lieu à Raphia en 193 av. J.-C., mais l’alliance prit bientôt fin, comme ce fut le cas pour le premier mariage d’alliance entre le roi du nord et le roi du sud. Les mariages d’alliance alpha et oméga de l’empire séleucide préfigurent le mariage d’alliance mentionné plus tard dans l’histoire prophétique de Daniel 11, lorsque Octavien donna sa sœur Octavie la Jeune à Marc Antoine en 40 av. J.-C. Marc Antoine et Octavien étaient engagés dans une lutte de pouvoir pour les régions orientales et occidentales de Rome, qui avait éclaté en 44 av. J.-C. avec l’assassinat de Jules César. Le traité de Brundisium fut établi lors du mariage en 40 av. J.-C., et huit ans plus tard, en 32 av. J.-C., Marc Antoine divorça officiellement d’Octavie et précipita la bataille d’Actium en 31 av. J.-C., où Marc Antoine et Cléopâtre, (la toute dernière Cléopâtre), trouvèrent tous deux leur fin.
The omega marriage treaty of the Seleucid empire introduced the first Cleopatra who typified the last Cleopatra, whose line of descent formed the link to the prophetic alpha marriage treaty of the Roman empire in 40 BC. Those three treaty marriages typify the treaty marriage of the Edict of Milan. The Edict of Milan marks the beginning of a prophetic siege, it represents a prophetic sign, it marks a transition of a righteous church to an unrighteous church, thus aligning with the enigma of the eighth being of the seven. It marks a treaty marriage that ends a war, until the divorce of the treaty marriage thus marking the beginning of a war. In the two Roman marriages, the divorce precipitates the uniting of the empire. 313 also marks the Exeter camp meeting where the proclamation of the message of the Midnight Cry begins and leads to the closed door of October 22.
Mariagekontrakten ved omegaen i det seleukidiske imperium indførte den første Cleopatra, som var et forbillede på den sidste Cleopatra, hvis afstamningslinje dannede forbindelsen til den profetiske alfa-ægteskabstraktat i det romerske imperium i 40 f.Kr. Disse tre traktatægteskaber er forbilleder på traktatægteskabet i Ediktet i Milano. Ediktet i Milano markerer begyndelsen på en profetisk belejring; det repræsenterer et profetisk tegn; det markerer en overgang fra en retfærdig kirke til en uretfærdig kirke og stemmer således overens med gåden om den ottende, som er af de syv. Det markerer et traktatægteskab, der afslutter en krig, indtil skilsmissen fra traktatægteskabet således markerer begyndelsen på en krig. I de to romerske ægteskaber fremskynder skilsmissen imperiets forening. 313 markerer også lejrmødet i Exeter, hvor forkyndelsen af Midnatsråbets budskab begynder og fører til den lukkede dør den 22. oktober.
We will continue to consider these truths in the next article.
