“By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.
“Kwa amri itakayotekeleza kuanzishwa kwa upapa kinyume cha sheria ya Mungu, taifa letu litajitenga kikamilifu na haki. Wakati Uprotestanti utakaponyoosha mkono wake kuvuka pengo ili kushika mkono wa mamlaka ya Kirumi, wakati utakapovuka juu ya shimo kuu ili kushikana mikono na uwasiliani-roho, wakati, chini ya ushawishi wa muungano huu wa namna tatu, nchi yetu itakapokataa kila kanuni ya Katiba yake kama serikali ya Kiprotestanti na ya kijamhuri, na kuweka masharti kwa ajili ya kuenezwa kwa uongo na udanganyifu wa kipapa, ndipo tutakapoweza kujua kwamba wakati umefika wa utendaji wa ajabu wa Shetani na kwamba mwisho umekaribia.”
“As the approach of the Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy be a sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return. The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress which prophets have described as the time of Jacob’s trouble. The cries of the faithful, persecuted ones ascend to heaven. And as the blood of Abel cried from the ground, there are voices also crying to God from martyrs’ graves, from the sepulchers of the sea, from mountain caverns, from convent vaults: ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?’

“The Lord is doing His work. All heaven is astir. The Judge of all the earth is soon to arise and vindicate His insulted authority. The mark of deliverance will be set upon the men who keep God’s commandments, who revere His law, and who refuse the mark of the beast or of his image.
«Ներսերը կատարում է Իր գործը։ Ամբողջ երկինքը խռովքի մեջ է։ Ամբողջ երկրի Դատավորը շուտով պիտի վեր կենա և արդարացնի Իր վիրավորված իշխանությունը։ Ազատագրման նշանը պիտի դրվի այն մարդկանց վրա, ովքեր պահում են Աստծու պատվիրանները, ովքեր ակնածանքով են վերաբերվում Նրա օրենքին, և ովքեր մերժում են գազանի կամ նրա պատկերի նշանը։»
“God has revealed what is to take place in the last days, that His people may be prepared to stand against the tempest of opposition and wrath. Those who have been warned of the events before them are not to sit in calm expectation of the coming storm, comforting themselves that the Lord will shelter His faithful ones in the day of trouble. We are to be as men waiting for their Lord, not in idle expectancy, but in earnest work, with unwavering faith. It is no time now to allow our minds to be engrossed with things of minor importance. While men are sleeping, Satan is actively arranging matters so that the Lord’s people may not have mercy or justice. The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger. We should endeavor to disarm prejudice by placing ourselves in a proper light before the people. We should bring before them the real question at issue, thus interposing the most effectual protest against measures to restrict liberty of conscience. We should search the Scriptures and be able to give the reason for our faith. Says the prophet: ‘The wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.’” Testimonies, volume 5, 451, 452.
“Jumala on ilmoittanut, mitä on tapahtuva viimeisinä päivinä, jotta Hänen kansansa olisi valmistautunut kestämään vastustuksen ja vihan myrskyn. Niiden, joita on varoitettu heidän edessään olevista tapahtumista, ei tule istua rauhallisessa odotuksessa lähestyvää myrskyä odottaen ja lohduttautua sillä, että Herra suojelee uskollisiaan ahdingon päivänä. Meidän tulee olla kuin miehet, jotka odottavat Herraansa, ei toimettomassa odotuksessa, vaan vakavassa työssä, horjumattomassa uskossa. Nyt ei ole aika sallia mielemme kiinnittyä vähämerkityksisiin asioihin. Ihmisten nukkuessa Saatana järjestelee asioita aktiivisesti niin, ettei Herran kansa saisi osakseen armoa eikä oikeutta. Sunnuntailiike etenee nyt pimeydessä. Johtajat salaavat todellisen kysymyksen, eivätkä monet liikkeeseen liittyvistä itsekään näe, mihin pohjavirta on kulkemassa. Sen tunnustukset ovat lempeitä ja näennäisesti kristillisiä, mutta kun se alkaa puhua, se paljastaa lohikäärmeen hengen. Velvollisuutemme on tehdä kaikki vallassamme oleva uhatun vaaran torjumiseksi. Meidän tulee pyrkiä poistamaan ennakkoluuloja asettamalla itsemme kansan edessä oikeaan valoon. Meidän tulee tuoda heidän eteensä todellinen kiistakysymys ja siten esittää tehokkain mahdollinen vastalause omantunnonvapautta rajoittavia toimenpiteitä vastaan. Meidän tulee tutkia Raamattua ja kyetä esittämään uskomme peruste. Profeetta sanoo: ‘Jumalattomat tekevät jumalattomasti, eikä yksikään jumalattomista ymmärrä; mutta ymmärtäväiset ymmärtävät.’” Testimonies, osa 5, 451, 452.
When the “Sunday movement” “shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon.” The four paragraphs identify that at the Sunday law the United States “will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.” At the Sunday law “the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan.” At the Sunday law the threefold union is accomplished. At the Sunday law the United States “repudiates every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant republican government”, and they also “make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions.” That Sunday law is a “sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return.” That sign was typified by the warning given by Jesus identifying the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. It is there that the prayer given by the martyrs of the fifth seal ask, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” is accomplished. It is also at that waymark that the foolish and wise virgins manifest their characters.
عندما «تتكلّم حركة الأحد» فإنها «ستكشف روح التنين». وتحدِّد الفقرات الأربع أن الولايات المتحدة، عند سنّ قانون الأحد، «ستنفصل انفصالًا كاملًا عن البرّ». وعند قانون الأحد «يكون الوقت قد جاء لعمل الشيطان العجيب». وعند قانون الأحد يتحقّق الاتحاد الثلاثي. وعند قانون الأحد «تتنكّر الولايات المتحدة لكل مبدأ من مبادئ دستورها بوصفها حكومة جمهورية بروتستانتية»، كما أنها أيضًا «تتخذ تدابير لنشر أكاذيب البابوية وأضاليلها». إن قانون الأحد هذا هو «علامة لنا على أن حدّ أناة الله قد بُلِغ، وأن مكيال إثم أمتنا قد امتلأ، وأن ملاك الرحمة أوشك أن يطير طيرانه، فلا يعود أبدًا». وقد مُثِّلت هذه العلامة بالتحذير الذي أعطاه يسوع إذ حدّد رجسة الخراب التي تكلّم عنها دانيال النبي. وهناك تتمّ الصلاة التي رفعها شهداء الختم الخامس، إذ يسألون: «حتى متى أيها السيد القدوس والحق، لا تقضي وتنتقم لدمنا من الساكنين على الأرض؟». وكذلك عند تلك العلامة الفاصلة تُظهر العذارى الجاهلات والحكيمات صفاتهنّ.
At the Sunday law, the United States “repudiates every principle of its Constitution.” The period of time when this work was accomplished began with the Patriot Act in 2001. 2001 until the Sunday law represents a progressive work of repudiating the Constitution. That progressive work corresponds to the line of prophecy where the formation of the image of the beast is accomplished. The line of the image of the beast may appear a bit more complicated, but the complication is worth understanding. What complicates the line of the image of the beast is that it represents two lines.
Au moment de la loi du dimanche, les États-Unis « répudient tous les principes de leur Constitution ». La période durant laquelle cette œuvre s’est accomplie a commencé avec le Patriot Act en 2001. De 2001 jusqu’à la loi du dimanche, il s’agit d’une œuvre progressive de répudiation de la Constitution. Cette œuvre progressive correspond à la ligne de prophétie où s’accomplit la formation de l’image de la bête. La ligne de l’image de la bête peut paraître quelque peu plus complexe, mais cette complexité mérite d’être comprise. Ce qui complique la ligne de l’image de la bête, c’est qu’elle représente deux lignes.
For the earth beast the two lines are the horns of Republicanism and Protestantism. Those two horns come together into a church-state relationship and thus fulfill the formation of the image of the beast. The line of the formation of the image of the beast therefore has two lines within the one line, for the Republican and Protestant horns run parallel to one another through history, but their individual lines also have their own prophetic testimony to bear. One prophetic line, with two parallel subjects, is more complicated than simply marking the waymarks of political actions that represent the speaking associated with the Constitution.
Kwa mnyama wa nchi, mistari hiyo miwili ndiyo pembe za Urepublikanismo na Uprotestanti. Pembe hizo mbili huungana katika uhusiano wa kanisa na dola, na hivyo hutimiza kuundwa kwa sanamu ya mnyama. Kwa hiyo, mstari wa kuundwa kwa sanamu ya mnyama una mistari miwili ndani ya mstari mmoja, kwa maana pembe za Kirepublikani na Kiprotestanti huenda sambamba katika historia, lakini mistari yao binafsi nayo pia ina ushuhuda wake wa kiunabii wa kubeba. Mstari mmoja wa kiunabii, wenye masomo mawili yanayoenda sambamba, ni wenye ugumu zaidi kuliko kuweka tu alama za njia za matendo ya kisiasa yanayowakilisha kusema kunakohusishwa na Katiba.
The two lines of Republican and Protestant horns is further complicated by the prophetic fact that within the Republican horn is the history of the struggle between proslavery Democrats, and antislavery Republicans; and further that within the Protestant horn there is a continual testing process that follows the wise and the foolish virgins within the history of the Protestant horn. Still, it is highly important to settle into these truths.
Ang dalawang hanay ng mga sungay na Republikano at Protestante ay lalo pang nagiging masalimuot dahil sa propetikong katotohanan na sa loob ng sungay na Republikano ay naroroon ang kasaysayan ng tunggalian sa pagitan ng mga Demokratang maka-alipin at ng mga Republikano na laban sa pang-aalipin; at higit pa rito, na sa loob ng sungay na Protestante ay may isang patuluyang proseso ng pagsubok na sumusunod sa marurunong at sa mga mangmang na dalaga sa loob ng kasaysayan ng sungay na Protestante. Gayunman, napakahalagang mapanatag sa mga katotohanang ito.
Within the line represented by the earth beast’s two horns is the parallel illustration of either forming a character of Christ or a character of Satan, which equates to either forming an image of Christ or an image of the beast, for in this context the “beast” represents a created being in contrast with the Creator. The formation of these attributes is accomplished internally among all men, for when probation closes there are only two classes. The formation is also accomplished externally with the alliance between the papal power and the United Nations.
داخل السلسلة التي يمثّلها قرنا وحش الأرض يَرِدُ التصوير الموازي إمّا لتكوين شخصية المسيح أو شخصية الشيطان، وهو ما يعادل إمّا تكوين صورة للمسيح أو صورة للوحش، لأن «الوحش» في هذا السياق يمثّل كائنًا مخلوقًا في مقابل الخالق. ويتمّ تكوين هذه الصفات باطنيًا بين جميع الناس، لأنه عندما يُغلَق باب النعمة لا يبقى إلا صنفان. كما يتمّ هذا التكوين خارجيًا من خلال التحالف بين السلطة البابوية والأمم المتحدة.
So, the testing time for the formation of the image of the beast began in 2001, and it ends at the Sunday law in the United States. In that period of time the prophetic history of the earth beast’s two horns illustrates an internal and external controversy within their respective horns, whether it be religious or political, and also a struggle between the two horns themselves.
Ainsi, le temps d’épreuve pour la formation de l’image de la bête a commencé en 2001, et il s’achève avec la loi dominicale aux États-Unis. Durant cette période, l’histoire prophétique des deux cornes de la bête de la terre illustre une controverse interne et externe au sein de leurs cornes respectives, qu’elle soit religieuse ou politique, ainsi qu’une lutte entre les deux cornes elles-mêmes.
The Sunday law in the United States represents the warning to flee which Jesus identified as “the abomination of desolation.” The Sunday law in the United States is the conclusion of the period that began in 2001. The Patriot Act was the “abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel”, and identified by Jesus as a sign to flee from a coming destruction.
La loi du dimanche aux États-Unis représente l’avertissement de fuir que Jésus a identifié comme « l’abomination de la désolation ». La loi du dimanche aux États-Unis est la conclusion de la période qui a commencé en 2001. Le Patriot Act était « l’abomination de la désolation dont a parlé Daniel », et identifié par Jésus comme un signe pour fuir une destruction à venir.
The Patriot Act includes the prophetic light of 1888, and the Blair Bill. The Patriot Act then also prophetically contains the typification of the Sunday law, so the period from 2001 begins with a Sunday law as typified by 1888—Blair Bill, 2001—Patriot Act, and it ends with the Sunday law.
《愛國者法案》包含了1888年的預言之光，以及《布萊爾法案》。因此，《愛國者法案》在預言上也包含了星期日法之預表；故此，從2001年開始的時期，是以星期日法作為開端，正如1888年—《布萊爾法案》、2001年—《愛國者法案》所預表的，並且它也以星期日法告終。
The warning to flee the cities in 2001, typifies the warning to flee from Babylon at the Sunday law. The judgment brought upon the United States at the Sunday law typifies the judgment brought upon the entire world when Michael stands up and human probation closes. Christ’s signature as Alpha and Omega is repeatedly represented within the truths represented by the Blair Bill in 1888, and all that 1888 represents, repeating in 2001.
L’avertissement de fuir les villes en 2001 préfigure l’avertissement de fuir Babylone au moment de la loi du dimanche. Le jugement amené sur les États-Unis lors de la loi du dimanche préfigure le jugement qui sera amené sur le monde entier lorsque Micaël se lèvera et que le temps de grâce de l’humanité prendra fin. La signature du Christ en tant qu’Alpha et Oméga est représentée à maintes reprises dans les vérités figurées par le Blair Bill en 1888, et par tout ce que 1888 représente, se répétant en 2001.
2001, which was typified by 1888, represents not only the sign to flee as represented by the abomination of desolation, but it was also represented by 66 AD and the siege of Cestius. The siege of Titus in 70 AD represents the Sunday law in the United States. The Sunday law in the United States is represented by the year 321 and the first Sunday law of Constantine, and 538 represents when the last nation of the earth succumbs to the mark of the beast.
2001, tel qu’annoncé typologiquement par 1888, représente non seulement le signe de la fuite, tel qu’il est figuré par l’abomination de la désolation, mais il est aussi préfiguré par l’an 66 apr. J.-C. et le siège de Cestius. Le siège de Titus en l’an 70 apr. J.-C. représente la loi dominicale aux États-Unis. La loi dominicale aux États-Unis est représentée par l’an 321 et la première loi dominicale de Constantin, et 538 représente le moment où la dernière nation de la terre succombe à la marque de la bête.
2001 is 1888, Cestius and the year 66 AD. The Sunday law is Titus and the years 70 and 321. 2001 is also the baptism of Jesus, and His descent in Revelation chapter ten on August 11, 1840. All these symbols contribute to the line of the Constitution.
2001, 1888, Cestius και το έτος 66 μ.Χ. είναι το ίδιο. Ο νόμος της Κυριακής είναι ο Τίτος και τα έτη 70 και 321. Το 2001 είναι επίσης το βάπτισμα του Ιησού και η κάθοδός Του στην Αποκάλυψη, κεφάλαιο δέκα, στις 11 Αυγούστου 1840. Όλα αυτά τα σύμβολα συμβάλλουν στη γραμμή του Συντάγματος.
The prophetic history of the United States runs parallel to the history of Adventism. In 1798 the papacy received its deadly wound, and 1798 was the time of the end when the portion of the prophecies of Daniel that related to the history of the first and second angels of Revelation fourteen was unsealed. There in 1798, Adventism’s prophetic beginning is marked, and in 1798 the earth-beast with lamblike horns became the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.
L’histoire prophétique des États-Unis se déroule parallèlement à l’histoire de l’adventisme. En 1798, la papauté reçut sa blessure mortelle, et 1798 fut le temps de la fin, lorsque la partie des prophéties de Daniel qui se rapportait à l’histoire du premier et du second anges d’Apocalypse quatorze fut descellée. C’est là, en 1798, qu’est marqué le commencement prophétique de l’adventisme, et en 1798 la bête de la terre aux cornes semblables à celles d’un agneau devint le sixième royaume de la prophétie biblique.
1798 was preceded by three prophetic waymarks associated with the line of the earth beast, and therefore with the speaking of the United States, and the Constitution of the United States. Those three waymarks were the Declaration of Independence, spoken in 1776, then the Constitution in 1789, and then the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.
1798 an te vin apre twa pwen pwofetik ki make chemen an, ki asosye ak liy bèt ki soti nan tè a; e konsa tou ak pawòl Etazini yo ak Konstitisyon Etazini an. Twa pwen sa yo se te Deklarasyon Endepandans lan, yo te pwoklame an 1776; apre sa Konstitisyon an an 1789; epi apre sa Lwa sou Etranje ak Sedisyon yo an 1798.
Those three waymarks address the prophetic line of the Constitution and mark the beginning of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The Sunday law is the end of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy’s reign, and therefore there must be of prophetic necessity three waymarks that precede the end, as typified by the three waymarks that preceded the beginning.
Waamama akyir agyinaehyɛdeɛ mmiɛnsa no kasa fa Mmara Titen no nkɔmhyɛ kwan no ho, na ɛhyɛ Bible nkɔmhyɛ mu ahenni a ɛtɔ so nsia no mfiase agyirae.

In 2001, at the fall of the towers, the Patriot Act, is typified by the Blair Bill of 1888, along with the manifest rebellion of Adventism’s leadership at the Minneapolis General Conference. A rebellion which an angel told Sister White was typified by the rebellion against Moses by Korah, Dathan and Abiram is also typified by the baptism of Christ in 27 AD, the restraint of Islam on August 11, 1840 and the Declaration of Independence in 1776, as well as the “abomination of desolation, spoken by Daniel the prophet” as a sign to flee from the coming wrath, as represented by Cestius and 66 AD.
Mu 2001, pa kugwa kwa nsanja zija, Patriot Act ikuimiridwa mwa chifanizo ndi Blair Bill ya 1888, pamodzi ndi kupanduka kowonekera kwa utsogoleri wa Adventism pa Msonkhano Waukulu wa ku Minneapolis. Kupanduka kumene mngelo anauza Sister White kuti kunali koyimiridwa mwa chifanizo ndi kupanduka motsutsana ndi Mose kwa Kora, Datani, ndi Abiramu, kumaimiridwanso mwa chifanizo ndi ubatizo wa Khristu mu 27 AD, kuletsedwa kwa Chisilamu pa August 11, 1840, ndi Declaration of Independence mu 1776, komanso ndi “chonyansa cha chiwonongeko, chonenedwa ndi Danieli mneneri,” monga chizindikiro chothawira mkwiyo umene ukubwera, monga kuyimiridwa ndi Cestius ndi 66 AD.
If you can still remember that the line of prophecy we are now considering is the line of the Constitution of the United States, all of the aforementioned prophetic lines contribute to and establish the prophetic theme represented by the line of the Constitution. Yet the line which appears to be the most interconnected line is the line of the formation of the image of the beast. The image of the beast is an image of the papal beast, which is represented as a beast with a woman reigning over the beast, which is the combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship. In order for the United States to form an image to the beast, apostate Protestantism must so control the government to the point where the government will pass and enforce religious statutes, and ultimately the Sunday law.
यदि तुम्हें अब भी स्मरण हो कि भविष्यद्वाणी की वह रेखा जिसे हम अभी विचार कर रहे हैं, संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका के संविधान की रेखा है, तो उपर्युक्त सभी भविष्यद्वाणीगत रेखाएँ उस भविष्यद्वाणीगत विषय में योगदान करती हैं और उसे स्थापित करती हैं, जिसका प्रतिनिधित्व संविधान की रेखा करती है। तथापि, जो रेखा सबसे अधिक परस्पर-संबद्ध प्रतीत होती है, वह पशु की मूरत के निर्माण की रेखा है। पशु की मूरत पोपीय पशु की मूरत है, जिसका चित्रण ऐसे पशु के रूप में किया गया है जिस पर एक स्त्री राज्य करती है; यह कलीसिया और राज्य का ऐसा संयोग है जिसमें कलीसिया उस संबंध पर नियंत्रण रखती है। संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका के लिए पशु की एक मूरत बनाने हेतु, धर्मत्यागी प्रोटेस्टेंटवाद को सरकार पर इस सीमा तक नियंत्रण करना होगा कि सरकार धार्मिक विधियों, और अंततः रविवार के कानून को, पारित करे और उन्हें लागू भी करे।
As the process of forming the image of the beast is accomplished, the Constitution, written with a premier principle which Thomas Jefferson penned as “separation of church and state,” is to be overturned. When the Protestant horn has the power to direct the Republican horn to enforce religious mandates, the very heart of the Constitution is torn apart, thus you have the prophetic relationship between the line of the Constitution and the line of the image of the beast.
Alors que s’accomplit le processus de formation de l’image de la bête, la Constitution, rédigée avec pour principe primordial celui que Thomas Jefferson formula comme la « séparation de l’Église et de l’État », doit être renversée. Lorsque la corne protestante aura le pouvoir d’amener la corne républicaine à faire appliquer des prescriptions religieuses, le cœur même de la Constitution sera déchiré ; ainsi se manifeste la relation prophétique entre la ligne de la Constitution et la ligne de l’image de la bête.
The period where the image of the beast is formed began in 2001, with the Patriot Act, and it ends at the Sunday law, when the mark of the beast is enforced. During that period the latter rain is sprinkled, for the latter rain begins to fall when the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descends and lightens the earth with His glory, which, according to Sister White, would occur when the great buildings of New York City were brought down by a touch of the Lord.
دەورەیەکەی کە تێیدا وێنەی ئاژەڵ دروست دەبێت لە ساڵی 2001 دەست پێ دەکات، لەگەڵ یاسای پاتریۆت، و بە یاسای یەکشەممە کۆتایی دێت، کاتێک نیشانی ئاژەڵ بە زۆرەپێکردن جێبەجێ دەکرێت. لە ماوەی ئەو دەورەیەدا بارانی دواکەوتوو بە سەرشاندن دەبەخشێت، چونکە بارانی دواکەوتوو دەست بە بارین دەکات کاتێک فریشتەی بەهێزی ئاشکراکردنی هەژدە دادەبەزێت و زەوی بە شکوومەندیی خۆی ڕووناک دەکات، کە بەپێی خوشک وایت، ئەوە لەو کاتەدا ڕوو دەدات کە بیناکانی گەورەی شاری نیویۆرک بە دەستێکی پەروەردگار دابڕێندرێن.
“The latter rain is to fall upon the people of God. A mighty angel is to come down from heaven, and the whole earth is to be lighted with his glory.” Review and Herald, April 21, 1891.
« Hodisa orqa yog‘in Xudoning xalqi ustiga yog‘ilishi kerak. Qudratli bir farishta osmondan tushib keladi va butun yer yuzi uning ulug‘vorligi bilan yoritiladi ». Review and Herald, 1891-yil 21-aprel.
The period of the sprinkling of the latter rain represents a period of time when the wheat and tares of Adventism’s last generation are being sifted and purged. That sifting and purging ends at the Sunday law, and the wise virgins who possess the oil when the crisis of the Sunday law arrives, are sealed and then the Holy Spirit is poured out without measure until Michael stands up and human probation closes.
Den senere regns stænkningsperiode repræsenterer en tidsperiode, hvor hveden og ukrudtet i adventismens sidste generation bliver sigtet og renset. Denne sigtning og renselse afsluttes ved søndagsloven, og de kloge jomfruer, som besidder olien, når søndagslovens krise indtræffer, bliver beseglet, og derefter udgydes Helligånden uden mål, indtil Mikael rejser sig, og menneskets prøvetid afsluttes.
During the formation of the image of the beast in the United States the latter rain will be sprinkling, and during the formation of the image of the beast in the world the latter rain will be poured out without measure.
Pendant la formation de l’image de la bête aux États-Unis, la pluie de l’arrière-saison tombera en aspersion; et pendant la formation de l’image de la bête dans le monde, la pluie de l’arrière-saison sera répandue sans mesure.
In 2001 the testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church began, as typified by the Protestants of August 11, 1840, and by ancient Israel when Christ was baptized.

“The time of test is just upon us, for the loud cry of the third angel has already begun in the revelation of the righteousness of Christ, the sin-pardoning Redeemer. This is the beginning of the light of the angel whose glory shall fill the whole earth.” Selected Messages, book 1, 362.
„Lekatsi la ndzingo ri le kusuhi swinene na hina, hikuva xirilo lexikulu xa ntsumi ya vunharhu se xi sungurile eku paluxiweni ka ku lulama ka Kriste, Mukutsuri la rivalelaka xidyoho. Leswi hi swona masungulo ya ku vonakala ka ntsumi leyi ku vangama ka yona ku nga ta tata misava hinkwayo.” Selected Messages, buku 1, 362.
The final testing process for the former covenant people begins when the light of the angel of Revelation eighteen begins to present His message. His message is also represented in the first three verses of chapter eighteen of Revelation, and those three verses were, according to Sister White fulfilled when the great buildings of New York City came down.
Kumuʼaha ʻa e founga sivi fakaʻosi ki he kakai ʻo e fuakava motuʻa ʻi he taimi ʻoku kamata ai ke fakahaaʻi ʻe he maama ʻo e ʻāngelo ʻo e Fakaha 18 ʻEne pōpoaki. ʻOku toe fakafofongaʻi foki ʻEne pōpoaki ʻi he veesi ʻuluaki ʻe tolu ʻo e vahe 18 ʻo e Fakaha, pea ko e veesi ʻe tolu ko ia naʻe, ʻo fakatatau kia Tuofefine White, fakakakato ʻi he taimi naʻe holo hifo ai ʻa e ngaahi fale lalahi ʻo e Kolo ko New York.
The testing process then began, as represented by John in chapter ten of Revelation. The test was whether you would take the little book that was in the angel’s hand, and then eat it. During this testing period, while the latter rain is being sprinkled it is falling only upon those who choose to take the little book and eat it.
Amalirizyinganjo yatangiye ubwo, nk’uko Yohana ayigereranya mu gice cya cumi cy’Ibyahishuwe. Ikigeragezo cyari ukumenya niba wakira agatabo gato kari mu kuboko kwa marayika, hanyuma ukakarya. Muri iki gihe cy’igeragezwa, mu gihe imvura y’itumba rya nyuma irimo kunyanyagizwa, iragwa gusa ku batoranya kwakira ako gatabo gato no kukarya.
“Many have in a great measure failed to receive the former rain. They have not obtained all the benefits that God has thus provided for them. They expect that the lack will be supplied by the latter rain. When the richest abundance of grace shall be bestowed, they intend to open their hearts to receive it. They are making a terrible mistake. The work that God has begun in the human heart in giving His light and knowledge must be continually going forward. Every individual must realize his own necessity. The heart must be emptied of every defilement and cleansed for the indwelling of the Spirit. It was by the confession and forsaking of sin, by earnest prayer and consecration of themselves to God, that the early disciples prepared for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. The same work, only in greater degree, must be done now. Then the human agent had only to ask for the blessing, and wait for the Lord to perfect the work concerning him. It is God who began the work, and He will finish His work, making man complete in Jesus Christ. But there must be no neglect of the grace represented by the former rain. Only those who are living up to the light they have will receive greater light. Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.” Testimonies to Ministers, 506, 507.
« Beaucoup, dans une grande mesure, n’ont pas reçu la première pluie. Ils n’ont pas obtenu tous les bienfaits que Dieu avait ainsi pourvus pour eux. Ils s’attendent à ce que ce manque soit comblé par l’arrière-pluie. Lorsque la plus riche abondance de grâce sera accordée, ils ont l’intention d’ouvrir leur cœur pour la recevoir. Ils commettent une terrible erreur. L’œuvre que Dieu a commencée dans le cœur humain en donnant sa lumière et sa connaissance doit continuellement progresser. Chaque individu doit prendre conscience de sa propre nécessité. Le cœur doit être vidé de toute souillure et purifié pour que l’Esprit y habite. C’est par la confession et l’abandon du péché, par la prière fervente et la consécration d’eux-mêmes à Dieu, que les premiers disciples se préparèrent à l’effusion du Saint-Esprit au jour de la Pentecôte. La même œuvre, mais à un degré plus élevé, doit être accomplie maintenant. Alors, l’agent humain n’avait qu’à demander la bénédiction et attendre que le Seigneur achève l’œuvre le concernant. C’est Dieu qui a commencé l’œuvre, et il achèvera son œuvre, rendant l’homme parfait en Jésus-Christ. Mais il ne doit y avoir aucune négligence à l’égard de la grâce représentée par la première pluie. Seuls ceux qui vivent conformément à la lumière qu’ils ont recevront une plus grande lumière. À moins que nous ne progressions chaque jour dans la manifestation des vertus chrétiennes actives, nous ne reconnaîtrons pas les manifestations du Saint-Esprit dans l’arrière-pluie. Elle peut tomber sur les cœurs tout autour de nous, mais nous ne la discernerons ni ne la recevrons. » Testimonies to Ministers, 506, 507.
Those who ate the message of 2001 were receiving a message appropriate for that period, but they were to be tested in order to manifest if they truly internalized the message into an experience prepared for the seal of God. In that period the latter rain is therefore represented as sprinkling, for the wheat and tares are still together. Therefore, Sister White says, “It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.” When the wise are separated from the foolish, the latter rain is then poured out without measure, as it was at Pentecost, which typifies the Sunday law.
Diejenigen, die die Botschaft von 2001 aßen, empfingen eine für jenen Zeitraum angemessene Botschaft; doch sollten sie geprüft werden, damit offenbar werde, ob sie die Botschaft wahrhaftig so verinnerlicht hatten, dass sie zu einer für das Siegel Gottes vorbereiteten Erfahrung geworden war. In jenem Zeitraum wird der Spätregen daher als Besprengung dargestellt, denn Weizen und Unkraut sind noch beieinander. Deshalb sagt Schwester White: „Es mag auf die Herzen rings um uns her fallen, doch wir werden es weder erkennen noch empfangen.“ Wenn die Klugen von den Törichten getrennt sind, wird der Spätregen sodann ohne Maß ausgegossen, wie es zu Pfingsten geschah, was das Sonntagsgesetz vorbildet.
“Again, these parables teach that there is to be no probation after the judgment. When the work of the gospel is completed, there immediately follows the separation between the good and the evil, and the destiny of each class is forever fixed.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 123.
«De nouveau, ces paraboles enseignent qu’il ne doit y avoir aucun temps de grâce après le jugement. Lorsque l’œuvre de l’Évangile est achevée, il s’ensuit immédiatement la séparation entre les bons et les méchants, et la destinée de chaque classe est fixée pour toujours.» Christ’s Object Lessons, 123.
The period of the sprinkling of the latter rain, followed by a period when the latter rain is poured out without measure, are also illustrated as two periods where judgment is accomplished upon God’s people. The first period of judgment upon God’s people began with the house of God on September 11, 2001, and at the Sunday law judgment is then accomplished for God’s other flock who are responding to or rejecting the loud cry of the third angel that begins at the Sunday law in the United States, and ends when Michael stands up, and human probation closes.
Nyengo ya kunyunyizidwa kwa mvula ya m’tsogolo, yotsatiridwa ndi nyengo imene mvula ya m’tsogolo imatsanuliridwa popanda muyeso, imasonyezedwanso ngati nyengo ziwiri zimene chiweruzo chimakwaniritsidwa pa anthu a Mulungu. Nyengo yoyamba ya chiweruzo pa anthu a Mulungu inayamba ndi nyumba ya Mulungu pa September 11, 2001, ndipo pa chiweruzo cha lamulo la Lamlungu pamenepo chimakwaniritsidwa kwa gulu lina la nkhosa zake za Mulungu amene akuyankha kapena kukana kulira kwakukulu kwa mngelo wachitatu kumene kumayamba pa lamulo la Lamlungu mu United States, ndipo kumatha pamene Mikayeli ayimirira, ndipo nthawi ya kuyesedwa kwa anthu itsekedwa.
The two periods of the latter rain, which are also the two periods of the judgment which begins with the house of God, and then moves to God’s other flock, are also the two periods of the formation of the image of the beast.
Les deux périodes de la pluie de l’arrière-saison, qui sont aussi les deux périodes du jugement qui commence par la maison de Dieu, puis passe à l’autre troupeau de Dieu, sont également les deux périodes de la formation de l’image de la bête.
Within the first of those two prophetic periods, when judgment is brought upon God’s church and also the United States, is the very same history where the Republican horn and the Protestant horn are both judged. Right where Laodicean Adventism is spewed out of the mouth of the Lord, the United States fills its probationary cup, and national ruin is brought upon the nation, and Satan then appears and begins his marvelous work. The one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed and lifted up as an ensign at the Sunday law.
À l’intérieur de la première de ces deux périodes prophétiques, lorsque le jugement est amené sur l’Église de Dieu et aussi sur les États-Unis, se trouve précisément la même histoire dans laquelle la corne républicaine et la corne protestante sont toutes deux jugées. C’est exactement au moment où l’adventisme laodicéen est vomi de la bouche du Seigneur que les États-Unis comblent la mesure de leur temps de grâce, et que la ruine nationale s’abat sur la nation, puis Satan apparaît et commence son œuvre merveilleuse. Les cent quarante-quatre mille sont scellés et élevés comme une bannière au moment de la loi du dimanche.
We are informed that it is impossible to give any idea of “the experience of the people of God who shall be alive upon the earth when celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended.”
موږ ته خبر راکړل شوی دی چې دا ناشونې ده چې د «د خدای د هغه ولس د تجربې» په اړه هر ډول انګېرنه وړاندې شي، هغه ولس چې پر ځمکه به ژوندی وي کله چې اسماني جلال او د تېر وخت د ځورونو بیا تکرار سره یو ځای شي.
“Satan is a diligent Bible student. He knows that his time is short, and he seeks at every point to counterwork the work of the Lord upon this earth. It is impossible to give any idea of the experience of the people of God who shall be alive upon the earth when celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended. They will walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God. By means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth. And Satan, surrounded by evil angels, and claiming to be God, will work miracles of all kinds, to deceive, if possible, the very elect. God’s people will not find their safety in working miracles, for Satan will counterfeit the miracles that will be wrought. God’s tried and tested people will find their power in the sign spoken of in Exodus 31:12–18. They are to take their stand on the living word: ‘It is written.’ This is the only foundation upon which they can stand securely. Those who have broken their covenant with God will in that day be without God and without hope.” Testimonies, volume 9, 16.
«Սատանան Աստվածաշնչի ջանասեր ուսումնասիրող է։ Նա գիտի, որ իր ժամանակը կարճ է, և ամեն մի կետում ձգտում է հակազդել այս երկրի վրա Տիրոջ գործին։ Անհնար է որևէ պատկերացում տալ Աստծո այն ժողովրդի փորձառության մասին, որոնք երկրի վրա կենդանի պիտի լինեն, երբ երկնային փառքը և անցյալի հալածանքների կրկնությունը միախառնված լինեն։ Նրանք պիտի ընթանան այն լույսի մեջ, որ բխում է Աստծո գահից։ Հրեշտակների միջոցով պիտի լինի մշտական հաղորդակցություն երկնքի և երկրի միջև։ Իսկ Սատանան, շրջապատված չար հրեշտակներով և իրեն Աստված հռչակելով, պիտի գործի ամեն տեսակ հրաշքներ՝ հնարավոր হলে մոլորեցնելու նույնիսկ ընտրյալներին։ Աստծո ժողովուրդն իր ապահովությունը չի գտնի հրաշքներ գործելու մեջ, որովհետև Սատանան պիտի կեղծի այն հրաշքները, որ պիտի կատարվեն։ Աստծո փորձված ու քննված ժողովուրդն իր զորությունը պիտի գտնի այն նշանի մեջ, որի մասին խոսված է Ելք 31:12–18-ում։ Նրանք պիտի կանգնեն կենդանի Խոսքի վրա. «Գրված է»։ Սա միակ հիմքն է, որի վրա նրանք կարող են հաստատապես կանգնել։ Նրանք, որ կոտրել են իրենց ուխտը Աստծո հետ, այն օրը պիտի լինեն առանց Աստծո և առանց հույսի»։ Վկայություններ, հատոր 9, 16։
The repetition of the persecutions of the past begins at the Sunday law in the United States, for Satan begins his marvelous work at that time, and the wise virgins who have already been “tried and tested,” will then “walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God.” This will be accomplished through the work of angels, for “by means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth.”
La répétition des persécutions du passé commence avec la loi dominicale aux États-Unis, car c’est alors que Satan entreprend son œuvre merveilleuse, et les vierges sages qui auront déjà été « éprouvées et mises à l’épreuve » marcheront alors « dans la lumière procédant du trône de Dieu ». Cela s’accomplira par le ministère des anges, car « par le moyen des anges, il y aura une communication constante entre le ciel et la terre ».
“The anointed ones standing by the Lord of the whole earth, have the position once given to Satan as covering cherub. By the holy beings surrounding his throne, the Lord keeps up a constant communication with the inhabitants of the earth. The golden oil represents the grace with which God keeps the lamps of believers supplied, that they shall not flicker and go out. Were it not that this holy oil is poured from heaven in the messages of God’s Spirit, the agencies of evil would have entire control over men.
« Les oints qui se tiennent auprès du Seigneur de toute la terre occupent la position autrefois donnée à Satan comme chérubin protecteur. Par les êtres saints qui entourent son trône, le Seigneur maintient une communication constante avec les habitants de la terre. L’huile d’or représente la grâce par laquelle Dieu entretient les lampes des croyants, afin qu’elles ne vacillent pas et ne s’éteignent pas. Si cette huile sainte n’était pas répandue du ciel dans les messages de l’Esprit de Dieu, les puissances du mal exerceraient un entier contrôle sur les hommes. »
“God is dishonored when we do not receive the communications which he sends us. Thus we refuse the golden oil which he would pour into our souls to be communicated to those in darkness. When the call shall come, ‘Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him,’ those who have not received the holy oil, who have not cherished the grace of Christ in their hearts, will find, like the foolish virgins, that they are not ready to meet their Lord. They have not, in themselves, the power to obtain the oil, and their lives are wrecked. But if God’s Holy Spirit is asked for, if we plead, as did Moses, ‘Show me thy glory,’ the love of God will be shed abroad in our hearts. Through the golden pipes, the golden oil will be communicated to us. ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.’ By receiving the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, God’s children shine as lights in the world.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.
“God vërgozahet kur ne nuk i pranojmë komunikimet që Ai na dërgon. Kështu ne e refuzojmë vajin e artë që Ai do të derdhte në shpirtrat tanë, që të përcillej tek ata që janë në errësirë. Kur të vijë thirrja, ‘Ja, dhëndri po vjen; dilni t’i dilni përpara,’ ata që nuk e kanë marrë vajin e shenjtë, që nuk e kanë ushqyer hirin e Krishtit në zemrat e tyre, do të zbulojnë, si virgjëreshat e marra, se nuk janë gati të takojnë Zotin e tyre. Ata nuk kanë, në vetvete, fuqinë për ta siguruar vajin, dhe jeta e tyre shkatërrohet. Por nëse kërkohet Fryma e Shenjtë e Perëndisë, nëse ne lutemi me ngulm, siç bëri Moisiu, ‘Më trego lavdinë tënde,’ dashuria e Perëndisë do të derdhet në zemrat tona. Nëpërmjet gypave të artë, vaji i artë do të na komunikohet. ‘Jo me forcë, as me pushtet, por me Frymën time, thotë Zoti i Ushtrive.’ Duke marrë rrezet e ndritshme të Diellit të Drejtësisë, bijtë e Perëndisë shkëlqejnë si drita në botë.” Review and Herald, 20 korrik 1897.
The wise are those who are sealed in Revelation chapter seven and Ezekiel chapter nine, and who are contrasted with the foolish who dishonor the Lord, by refusing “the communications he sends.” The foolish are those “who have broken their covenant with God who will in that day be without God and without hope.” Those two classes were tested and brought to a point where they manifested their character based upon whether they accepted or rejected the message of the hour. The message of the hour since September 11, 2001 has been the message of the latter rain.
Die Weisen sind jene, die in Offenbarung Kapitel sieben und Hesekiel Kapitel neun versiegelt werden, und die den Törichten gegenübergestellt werden, die den Herrn verunehren, indem sie sich weigern, „die Mitteilungen, die er sendet“, anzunehmen. Die Törichten sind jene, „die ihren Bund mit Gott gebrochen haben und an jenem Tag ohne Gott und ohne Hoffnung sein werden.“ Diese beiden Klassen wurden geprüft und an einen Punkt gebracht, an dem sie ihren Charakter offenbarten, je nachdem, ob sie die Botschaft der Stunde annahmen oder verwarfen. Die Botschaft der Stunde seit dem 11. September 2001 ist die Botschaft des Spätregens.
The message of the latter rain is recognized by the methodology of line upon line as set forth in Isaiah chapter twenty-eight. The methodology of line upon line is God’s appointed method of biblical study, and therefore to reject that methodology is not only to reject the message represented through the application of line upon line, from here a little and there a little, it is also to reject the Giver of the methodology.
Ujumbe wa mvua ya mwisho hutambuliwa kwa mbinu ya mstari juu ya mstari kama ilivyowekwa katika Isaya sura ya ishirini na nane. Mbinu ya mstari juu ya mstari ndiyo njia ya Mungu aliyoiweka kwa ajili ya kujifunza Biblia, na kwa hiyo kuikataa mbinu hiyo si tu kuikataa ujumbe unaowakilishwa kupitia matumizi ya mstari juu ya mstari, hapa kidogo na pale kidogo, bali pia ni kumkataa Mtoaji wa mbinu hiyo.
Because of the inspired parameters revealed in the testing process that leads to the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, it is apparent that the only way a child of God can navigate through the history where “celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended,” is to be in an experience where the light from the throne of God can be recognized. It must be recognized, or it is useless, and we are lost.
Ku bira parametero ispirá a revela den e proseso di prueba ku ta conduci na e sellamentu di e ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil, ta evidente ku e úniko manera pa un yu di Dios por transita pa medio di e historia unda “gloria celestial i un repetishon di e persekuashonnan di antaño ta mezclá,” ta di ta den un eksperensia unda e lus for di e trono di Dios por ser rekonosí. Mester ser rekonosí, sino ta inútil, i nos ta perdí.
“We must not wait for the latter rain. It is coming upon all who will recognize and appropriate the dew and showers of grace that fall upon us. When we gather up the fragments of light, when we appreciate the sure mercies of God, who loves to have us trust Him, then every promise will be fulfilled. [Isaiah 61:11 quoted.] The whole earth is to be filled with the glory of God.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.
«ចូរយើងកុំរង់ចាំភ្លៀងចុងក្រោយ។ វាកំពុងមកលើអស់អ្នកណាដែលនឹងទទួលស្គាល់ និងយកមកជារបស់ខ្លួននូវទឹកសន្សើម និងភ្លៀងធ្លាក់នៃព្រះគុណដែលធ្លាក់មកលើយើង។ នៅពេលយើងប្រមូលយកបំណែកនៃពន្លឺទាំងឡាយ នៅពេលយើងឲ្យតម្លៃដល់ព្រះមេត្តាករុណាដ៏ប្រាកដរបស់ព្រះជាម្ចាស់ ដែលទ្រង់ពេញព្រះទ័យឲ្យយើងទុកចិត្តលើទ្រង់ នោះគ្រប់ទាំងព្រះបន្ទូលសន្យានឹងបានសម្រេច។ [ដកស្រង់ អេសាយ 61:11.] ផែនដីទាំងមូលត្រូវតែពេញដោយសិរីល្អរបស់ព្រះជាម្ចាស់»។ The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.
In the period that began when the angel of Revelation eighteen fills the whole earth with His glory, beginning on September 11, 2001, the latter rain has only come “upon” those “who” have “recognized and appropriated the dew and showers of grace that” is “falling upon us.” The “great mistake” identified earlier by Sister White, was when the foolish virgins thought they could wait until the latter rain was poured out without measure, for then they thought they could catch up. Not so, only those who are growing in their understanding of God’s prophetic Word receive more light.
उस अवधि में, जो प्रकाशितवाक्य अठारह के उस स्वर्गदूत के समस्त पृथ्वी को अपनी महिमा से आलोकित करने के समय से आरम्भ हुई—11 सितंबर, 2001 से—पिछली वर्षा केवल उन पर ही आई है “जिन्होंने” “अनुग्रह की ओस और बौछारों को, जो” “हम पर बरस रही हैं,” “पहचाना और ग्रहण किया है।” बहन व्हाइट द्वारा पहले चिन्हित की गई “बड़ी भूल” यह थी कि मूर्ख कुँवारियों ने सोचा कि वे तब तक प्रतीक्षा कर सकती हैं जब तक पिछली वर्षा अपरिमित रूप से उंडेली न जाए; क्योंकि तब उन्होंने समझा कि वे कमी पूरी कर लेंगी। ऐसा नहीं है; केवल वे ही, जो परमेश्वर के भविष्यवाणी-संबंधी वचन की अपनी समझ में बढ़ रहे हैं, अधिक ज्योति प्राप्त करते हैं।
As we conclude this article, the point I wish to identify is in connection with the purpose of the testing time we are now in. If we are to “walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God” in the time when the persecutions of the past are repeated, we will need to master the prophetic Word in advance of the crisis.
En terminant cet article, le point que je souhaite mettre en évidence concerne le but du temps d’épreuve dans lequel nous nous trouvons maintenant. Si nous devons « marcher dans la lumière qui procède du trône de Dieu » au temps où les persécutions du passé se répètent, il nous faudra maîtriser la Parole prophétique avant que la crise n’éclate.
In chapter one, Daniel and the three worthies had already perfected their education before they went in to be tested by Nebuchadnezzar. For forty days Christ opened the prophetic Word to the understanding of the disciples in advance of the ten days where the disciples perfected their unity. Then came Pentecost, which typifies the Sunday law.
Ɓeŋ yisire ɓe taƴe ɗee, Daniel e yimɓe tati ɓe waɗi ndon ɓurɓe ɓeydude jangirde maɓɓe haa nde ɓe naati ngam ƴeewde yeeso Nebukadnezzar.

Kono ɗon Pentekost waɗi, ɗum woni misaalu ɗo ɗonii ndee sariyanke Alahad.
In Daniel chapter three, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego informed Nebuchadnezzar they needed no extra time, for they were already settled as to what they were to do in the Sunday law testing time. Their faithfulness was magnified when they walked in the furnace with Christ, and the message they had already settled into before the test was carried to all the then-known world by all the visiting dignitaries that witnessed the miracle in the furnace.
दानिय्येल अध्याय तीन में, शद्रक, मेशक और अबेदनगो ने नबूकदनेस्सर को सूचित किया कि उन्हें किसी अतिरिक्त समय की आवश्यकता नहीं थी, क्योंकि वे पहले ही इस विषय में स्थिर हो चुके थे कि रविवार-व्यवस्था की परीक्षा के समय उन्हें क्या करना है। उनकी विश्वासयोग्यता उस समय और भी महान रूप से प्रकट हुई जब वे भट्ठी में मसीह के साथ चलते रहे, और जो संदेश वे परीक्षा से पहले ही स्वीकार कर स्थिर हो चुके थे, वह भट्ठी में हुए उस चमत्कार के सभी दर्शी आगन्तुक गणमान्यों के द्वारा उस समय के समस्त ज्ञात संसार में पहुँचा दिया गया।
We will continue these thoughts in the next article.
