My desire is to set forth the prophetic testimony of Joel in such a fashion that Joel’s testimony can be recognized in what Peter was saying and doing at Pentecost. I am certain the Bible is clear about what Peter was doing and saying at Pentecost, but I am seeking to understand what Peter was prophetically typifying in the history of the latter rain, when he placed the message of Pentecost in the terms of a fulfillment of the book of Joel.

Ma désir est d’exposer le témoignage prophétique de Joël de telle manière que le témoignage de Joël puisse être reconnu dans ce que Pierre disait et faisait à la Pentecôte. Je suis certain que la Bible est claire quant à ce que Pierre faisait et disait à la Pentecôte, mais je cherche à comprendre ce que Pierre préfigurait prophétiquement dans l’histoire de la pluie de l’arrière-saison, lorsqu’il présenta le message de la Pentecôte comme l’accomplissement du livre de Joël.

Peter is a symbol of the remnant people of God, and is not only illustrated at Pentecost, but also at Caesarea Philippi in Matthew 16. Caesarea Philippi is located in verses thirteen through fifteen of Daniel eleven, three verses which set forth a battle that was first fulfilled during the historical period when Caesarea Philippi was named Panium. Verses thirteen through fifteen precede verse sixteen, which identifies the Sunday law in the United States. Verse ten identifies the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. Verses ten to sixteen of Daniel eleven represent 1989 unto the Sunday law, and that period is the “hidden history” of verse forty of the same chapter.

But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.

Mas filiis eius excitabuntur, et congregabunt multitudinem copiarum magnarum; et rex aquilonis veniet contra eum quasi turbo, cum curribus et cum equitibus et cum multis navibus; et ingredietur terras, et inundabit et pertransibit. Et unus certe veniet, et inundabit et transibit; deinde revertetur, et excitabitur usque ad munitionem eius.

And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand. And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.

Ma àngaari guusuun koo sehal puərdam la, ka yɔɔr ka tɔr nɔng nɛ, waati la guusuun koo nuhɔɔr; ka nɔng nɛ yel sieŋa la yɛlɛg laaŋa, ama sieŋa nɛ ka bas a nuŋin. Ka waati la a kɔɔr sieŋa nɛ, a suum la yɔɔr zua; ka a yɔɔr buɔs neb pii pii; ama nɛ ka pɛɛs a laŋa.

For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.

And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.

Et en ces temps-là, plusieurs s’élèveront contre le roi du midi ; les violents parmi ton peuple s’élèveront aussi pour accomplir la vision, mais ils tomberont.

So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.

Ainsi le roi du nord viendra, élèvera des terrassements et s’emparera des villes les plus fortifiées; et les forces du sud ne résisteront pas, ni son peuple d’élite, et il n’y aura aucune force pour lui tenir tête.

The Sunday law in the USA

قانون الأحد في الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية

But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and “none shall stand” before him: and “he shall stand” in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. Daniel 11:40, 10–16, 41, 42.

しかし、彼に向かって来る者は自らの思うままに事を行い、「だれも彼の前に立つことができない」のである。そして彼は栄えある地に立ち、その地は彼の手によって滅ぼされる。彼はまたその栄えある地に侵入し、多くの国々は覆される。しかし、彼の手から逃れる者がある。すなわち、エドム、モアブ、ならびにアンモン人のうちの主だった者たちである。彼はまた諸国に向かって手を伸ばし、エジプトの地もまた免れることはない。ダニエル 11:40, 10–16, 41, 42。

When Peter is prophetically at Caesarea Philippi (Panium), and Pentecost it is the time of the latter rain, which locates him in the ‘hidden history’ of verse forty. I intend to address the current Ukrainian War represented in verse eleven of chapter eleven and the coming war of Panium of verses thirteen to fifteen that leads to the Third World War which are the external events between 1989 and the Sunday law, but we are currently identifying the history of the third angel from October 22, 1844 unto the formation of a legal church in 1863.

Pe Petro, na nkɔmhyɛ mu, wɔ Kaisarea Filipi (Panium), na Pentekoste yɛ osu a etwa to no bere a, ɛde no si asɛm a ahintaw a ɛwɔ nkyekyɛm aduanan no mu.

The line illustrates the arrival of the third angel on 9/11 (1844) unto the Sunday law (1863). The Sunday law was typified by the Emancipation Proclamation announcing freedom, thus typifying the Sunday law where freedom is removed. Freedom proclaimed by the first Republican president, typifying the freedom removed by the last Republican president—who is prophetically destined to become a dictator at the Sunday law.

La ligne illustre l’arrivée du troisième ange, depuis le 11/9 (1844) jusqu’à la loi du dimanche (1863). La loi du dimanche fut typifiée par la Proclamation d’émancipation annonçant la liberté, typifiant ainsi la loi du dimanche où la liberté est supprimée. La liberté proclamée par le premier président républicain typifie la liberté supprimée par le dernier président républicain — lequel est prophétiquement destiné à devenir un dictateur au moment de la loi du dimanche.

When our nation shall so abjure the principles of its government as to enact a Sunday law, Protestantism will in this act join hands with popery; it will be nothing else than giving life to the tyranny which has long been eagerly watching its opportunity to spring again into active despotism.” Testimonies, volume 5, 711.

« Lorsque notre nation reniera à ce point les principes de son gouvernement qu’elle promulguera une loi du dimanche, le protestantisme, par cet acte, joindra les mains avec la papauté ; ce ne sera rien d’autre que de donner vie à la tyrannie qui, depuis longtemps, guette avidement l’occasion de se jeter de nouveau dans un despotisme actif. » Testimonies, volume 5, 711.

742 BC was the alpha history that began the time prophecies of Isaiah seven verse eight, that reached the omega fulfillment in 1863. In 742 Ahaz, king of the southern kingdom of Judah was entering a Civil War against the ten northern tribes who made up the northern kingdom. The history of 742 BC was illustrated in Judah, the literal glorious land of Scriptures, that was populated by literal Jews and represented in the passage by the wicked and foolish king Ahaz—thus typifying the omega history of 1863. The omega history of 1863 is fulfilled within the period the United States reigns as the earth beast, the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The United States is the spiritual glorious land, made up of Protestant Christianity who are biblically spiritual Jews. The Civil War between north and south in 742 BC at the alpha history illustrated the Civil War between north and south in the omega history of 1863. Together those two witnesses illustrate the external history leading up to the Sunday law where the spiritual glorious land will once again be divided into two classes.

742 av. J.-C. constitue l’histoire alpha qui inaugura les prophéties de temps d’Ésaïe 7:8, lesquelles atteignirent leur accomplissement oméga en 1863. En 742, Achaz, roi du royaume méridional de Juda, entrait dans une guerre civile contre les dix tribus du nord qui constituaient le royaume septentrional. L’histoire de 742 av. J.-C. fut illustrée en Juda, le pays glorieux littéral des Écritures, peuplé de Juifs littéraux et représenté dans le passage par le roi impie et insensé Achaz — typifiant ainsi l’histoire oméga de 1863. L’histoire oméga de 1863 s’accomplit dans la période où les États-Unis règnent en tant que bête terrestre, le sixième royaume de la prophétie biblique. Les États-Unis sont le pays glorieux spirituel, composé du christianisme protestant, dont les membres sont bibliquement des Juifs spirituels. La guerre civile entre le nord et le sud en 742 av. J.-C., dans l’histoire alpha, illustrait la guerre civile entre le nord et le sud dans l’histoire oméga de 1863. Ensemble, ces deux témoins illustrent l’histoire externe conduisant jusqu’à la loi du dimanche, où le pays glorieux spirituel sera de nouveau divisé en deux classes.

In 742 BC, the northern power represented an alliance between Israel’s ten northern tribes and Syria, thus typifying an alliance with an outside power, as was fulfilled when the support of the pro-slavery papacy was given to the pro-slavery southern states in the Civil War. The outside ally of Syria in 742 BC, and the outside ally of the papacy in the Civil War, identifies the alliance of the world-globalists with the globalist Democrats in their warfare against MAGA-ism, a warfare that began in 2015 when the fourth and richest president stood up, and in doing so stirred up the entire realm of Grecia according to Daniel eleven, verse two. That stirring is identifying the awakening of the heathen in the book of Joel. “Grecia” and “heathen” are symbols of the dragon power that leads the world to Armageddon in alliance with the beast and the false prophet.

Im Jahr 742 v. Chr. stellte die nördliche Macht ein Bündnis zwischen den zehn nördlichen Stämmen Israels und Syrien dar und versinnbildlichte damit ein Bündnis mit einer äußeren Macht, wie es sich erfüllte, als dem sklavenfreundlichen Papsttum im Bürgerkrieg die Unterstützung der sklavenfreundlichen Südstaaten zuteilwurde. Der äußere Verbündete Syriens im Jahr 742 v. Chr. und der äußere Verbündete des Papsttums im Bürgerkrieg kennzeichnen das Bündnis der Welt-Globalisten mit den globalistischen Demokraten in ihrem Krieg gegen den MAGA-ismus, ein Krieg, der 2015 begann, als der vierte und reichste Präsident auftrat und dadurch nach Daniel 11, Vers 2, das ganze Reich Griechenlands aufstörte. Jenes Aufstören kennzeichnet das Erwachen der Heiden im Buch Joel. „Griechenland“ und „Heiden“ sind Sinnbilder der Drachenmacht, die die Welt in einem Bündnis mit dem Tier und dem falschen Propheten nach Harmagedon führt.

In 2015 the heathen were awakened to the prophetic call to Joel’s valley of Jehosophat, that he also called the valley of judgment. In 2015 Donald Trump announced his presidential candidacy, thus stirring up the globalist empire represented as Grecia and the heathen began their march to Armageddon, and only one year after the beginning of the Ukrainian War in fulfillment of verse eleven of Daniel eleven.

The civil wars of 742 BC and 1863 identify the history of the Sunday law, which marks the end of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. That sixth kingdom began with the Revolutionary War, so the end of the sixth kingdom at the Sunday law identifies the repetition of the Revolutionary War, at the very time that the Civil War is taking place. The definition of and the labelling of either a Civil or Revolutionary war is based upon perspective. What the Democrats are now doing through lawfare, embezzlement, fraud, illegal immigration and propaganda they call a color-revolution, but those souls opposed to their globalist maneuvers consider the very same activities as the instigation of ‘civil’ unrest. Is Antifa a criminal or a hero?

Les guerres civiles de 742 av. J.-C. et de 1863 identifient l’histoire de la loi du dimanche, laquelle marque la fin du sixième royaume de la prophétie biblique. Ce sixième royaume a commencé avec la Guerre d’Indépendance ; ainsi, la fin du sixième royaume à la loi du dimanche identifie la répétition de la Guerre d’Indépendance, au moment même où la Guerre civile se déroule. La définition comme l’étiquetage d’une guerre, qu’elle soit civile ou révolutionnaire, repose sur la perspective. Ce que les Démocrates font maintenant au moyen de la guerre judiciaire, du détournement de fonds, de la fraude, de l’immigration illégale et de la propagande, ils l’appellent une révolution de couleur ; mais les âmes opposées à leurs manœuvres mondialistes considèrent ces mêmes activités comme l’instigation de troubles « civils ». Antifa est-il un criminel ou un héros ?

The two historical wars represent a single divisive war that takes place in the history of the last Republican president. As with the first Republican president the warfare will be won by the last Republican president, who was also typified by the first President, who was also the victor of the Revolutionary War. The MAGA revolution, according to the Democrats, is producing the current ‘civil unrest.’ Depending on your personal political persuasion, the current war is either a revolutionary war or a civil war. Prophetically it is both.

Les deux guerres historiques représentent une seule guerre de division qui se déroule dans l’histoire du dernier président républicain. Comme pour le premier président républicain, cette guerre sera remportée par le dernier président républicain, lequel était aussi préfiguré par le premier Président, qui fut également le vainqueur de la guerre d’Indépendance. Selon les Démocrates, la révolution MAGA produit les actuels « troubles civils ». Selon votre persuasion politique personnelle, la guerre actuelle est soit une guerre révolutionnaire, soit une guerre civile. Prophétiquement, elle est les deux.

1863 represents the Sunday law and so does 1844, when the third angel arrived with the message of the Sunday law. The period of 1844 unto 1863 bears the signature of the Sunday law from beginning to end. In 1846 the marriage of the Whites, the observance of Sabbath and the name change from Harmen to White marked that the marriage that was entered into on October 22, 1844 had been consummated, and that consummation marked the beginning of the testing process of the third angel, just as the three-fold Sabbath test of manna marked the beginning of ten tests following the baptism of the Red Sea.

1863 représente la loi du dimanche, et 1844 la représente également, lorsque le troisième ange arriva avec le message de la loi du dimanche. La période allant de 1844 à 1863 porte la marque distinctive de la loi du dimanche du commencement à la fin. En 1846, le mariage des White, l’observance du sabbat et le changement de nom de Harmen à White indiquèrent que le mariage contracté le 22 octobre 1844 avait été consommé, et cette consommation marqua le commencement du processus d’épreuve du troisième ange, tout comme l’épreuve triple du sabbat liée à la manne marqua le commencement de dix épreuves après le baptême de la mer Rouge.

The manna was the first test and represented the tenth test at Kadesh for both represent the third angel’s message and therefore the Sunday law.

મન્ના પ્રથમ પરીક્ષા હતી અને કાદેશની દસમી પરીક્ષાનું પ્રતિનિધિત્વ કરતી હતી, કારણ કે બંને ત્રીજા દૂતના સંદેશાનું પ્રતિનિધિત્વ કરે છે અને તેથી રવિવારના કાનૂનનું.

“Every week during their long sojourn in the wilderness the Israelites witnessed a threefold miracle, designed to impress their minds with the sacredness of the Sabbath: a double quantity of manna fell on the sixth day, none on the seventh, and the portion needed for the Sabbath was preserved sweet and pure, when if any were kept over at any other time it became unfit for use.” Patriarchs and Prophets, 296.

“हर सप्ताह जंगल में अपने दीर्घ प्रवास के दौरान इस्राएलियों ने एक त्रिविध चमत्कार देखा, जो उनके मन पर सब्त के पवित्रत्व की छाप अंकित करने के लिए नियत था: छठे दिन मन्ना की दुगुनी मात्रा गिरती थी, सातवें दिन कुछ भी नहीं, और सब्त के लिए आवश्यक भाग मीठा और शुद्ध बना रहता था, जबकि यदि किसी अन्य समय उसे बचाकर रखा जाता, तो वह उपयोग के योग्य नहीं रहता था।” पितृपुरुष और भविष्यद्वक्ता, 296.

The first of ten tests was the “manna” test representing the threefold message of the three angels of Revelation fourteen. As with the manna, the angels represent the threefold warning against worship upon the first day of the week. The threefold manna miracle was “designed to impress their minds with the sacredness of the Sabbath,” which is of course the design of the third angel. The first of the three miracles represented by the manna, involved “eating” the heavenly bread, and “eating” is an alpha symbol of the latter rain period. The second miracle, represents the second angel’s message where inspiration “doubles” words and phrases to mark the period represented by Babylon’s two falls, for Babylon is fallen, is fallen. The second miracle was the “doubling” of the amount of manna on the sixth day. The third miracle was the preservation of the bread of the seventh-day Sabbath.

Kwanza ya majaribu kumi ilikuwa jaribu la “mana,” likiwakilisha ujumbe wa sehemu tatu wa malaika watatu wa Ufunuo kumi na nne. Kama ilivyokuwa kwa mana, hao malaika wanawakilisha onyo la namna tatu dhidi ya ibada katika siku ya kwanza ya juma. Muujiza wa mana wa namna tatu “ulikusudiwa kuzikazia akili zao utakatifu wa Sabato,” ambao bila shaka ndio kusudi la malaika wa tatu. Wa kwanza wa miujiza ile mitatu iliyowakilishwa na mana ulihusisha “kula” ile mkate wa mbinguni, na “kula” ni ishara ya alpha ya kipindi cha mvua ya masika ya mwisho. Muujiza wa pili unawakilisha ujumbe wa malaika wa pili, ambapo uvuvio “huongeza mara mbili” maneno na vifungu vya maneno ili kuonyesha kipindi kinachowakilishwa na kuanguka mara mbili kwa Babeli, kwa maana Babeli umeanguka, umeanguka. Muujiza wa pili ulikuwa “kuongezwa mara mbili” kwa kiasi cha mana siku ya sita. Muujiza wa tatu ulikuwa kuhifadhiwa kwa mkate wa Sabato ya siku ya saba.

As a type of the three angels, the manna is the first angel, and therefore must contain the entire story, which in Revelation fourteen is the story of all three angels. The first angel is a fractal of all three angels’ messages. A fractal is a complex geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is a reduced-size copy of the whole. This property is called self-similarity. Fractals often have intricate detail no matter how much you zoom in. Fractals occur in mathematics, biology, physics, geology, chemistry, astronomy, engineering and many other fields of understanding.

En tant que figure des trois anges, la manne est le premier ange, et doit donc contenir l’ensemble du récit, lequel, dans Apocalypse quatorze, est le récit des trois anges tout entiers. Le premier ange est un fractal du message des trois anges. Un fractal est une forme géométrique complexe qui peut être divisée en parties, dont chacune est une reproduction du tout à échelle réduite. Cette propriété est appelée autosimilarité. Les fractals présentent souvent une finesse de détail, quel que soit le degré d’agrandissement. Les fractals se rencontrent en mathématiques, en biologie, en physique, en géologie, en chimie, en astronomie, en ingénierie et dans bien d’autres domaines du savoir.

The “three-step structure” of the three angels in Revelation chapter fourteen is represented in the message of the first angel, thus making the first angel a “fractal” of the three angels. The first three chapters of the book of Daniel represent the first, second and third angels’ messages respectively, and Daniel chapter one contains the same “three-step structure” represented in the three chapters, and as in the three angels in relation to the first angel.

Ukuma “kwezinyathelo ezintathu” kwezingelosi ezintathu ezikuSambulo isahluko seshumi nane kumelwe emlayezweni wengelosi yokuqala, ngaleyo ndlela kwenza ingelosi yokuqala ibe “i-fractal” yezingelosi ezintathu. Izahluko ezintathu zokuqala zencwadi kaDaniyeli zimelela ngokulandelana imilayezo yengelosi yokuqala, eyesibili, neyesithathu, kanti uDaniyeli isahluko sokuqala uqukethe leso simo esifanayo “sezinyathelo ezintathu” esimelwe kulezo zahluko ezintathu, njengasezingelosini ezintathu maqondana nengelosi yokuqala.

The threefold miracle of the manna was to be eaten and Daniel chapter one is about eating. Daniel passed the diet test by choosing pulse over the diet of Babylon. He was then tested for his appearance and his appearance produced a separation between his countenance and the countenance of those who ate Babylon’s food. The second angel’s message is the call to separate from Babylon during a separation history where two classes are developed and then manifested. That second test for Daniel led to the third test of Nebuchadnezzar, which was the third test in chapter one and typified the golden image test of chapter three, which Sister White repeatedly identifies as the Sunday law, which is the third angel’s message. Daniel chapter one is a fractal of the first three chapters of Daniel and those three chapters represent the three angels of Revelation fourteen, of which the first angel and chapter one of Daniel are both fractals of all three angels and all three chapters.

“Every week during their long sojourn in the wilderness the Israelites witnessed a threefold miracle, designed to impress their minds with the sacredness of the Sabbath: a double quantity of manna fell on the sixth day, none on the seventh, and the portion needed for the Sabbath was preserved sweet and pure, when if any were kept over at any other time it became unfit for use.

“ሰንበት ቅድስና በአእምሮአቸው እንዲታተም ተዘጋጅቶ፣ እስራኤላውያን በምድረ በዳ ባደረጉት ረጅም መኖሪያ ጊዜ ሁሉ በየሳምንቱ ሶስት ዓይነት ተአምር ይመለከቱ ነበር፤ በስድስተኛው ቀን እጥፍ መጠን መና ይወርድ ነበር፣ በሰባተኛው ግን አንዳችም አይወርድም ነበር፤ ለሰንበትም የሚያስፈልገው ድርሻ ጣፋጭና ንጹሕ ሆኖ ይጠበቅ ነበር፥ በሌላ ማንኛውም ጊዜ ግን ማንም ቢያሳልፈው ለጥቅም የማይሆን ይሆን ነበር።”

“In the circumstances connected with the giving of the manna, we have conclusive evidence that the Sabbath was not instituted, as many claim, when the law was given at Sinai. Before the Israelites came to Sinai they understood the Sabbath to be obligatory upon them. In being obliged to gather every Friday a double portion of manna in preparation for the Sabbath, when none would fall, the sacred nature of the day of rest was continually impressed upon them. And when some of the people went out on the Sabbath to gather manna, the Lord asked, ‘How long refuse ye to keep My commandments and My laws?’” Patriarchs and Prophets, 296.

«Στις περιστάσεις που συνδέονται με τη χορήγηση του μάννα, έχουμε αδιάσειστη απόδειξη ότι το Σάββατο δεν θεσπίστηκε, όπως ισχυρίζονται πολλοί, όταν δόθηκε ο νόμος στο Σινά. Πριν οι Ισραηλίτες φθάσουν στο Σινά, κατανοούσαν ότι το Σάββατο ήταν δεσμευτικό γι’ αυτούς. Καθώς ήταν υποχρεωμένοι να συγκεντρώνουν κάθε Παρασκευή διπλή μερίδα μάννα προς προετοιμασία για το Σάββατο, οπότε δεν θα έπεφτε καθόλου, ο ιερός χαρακτήρας της ημέρας της αναπαύσεως εντυπωνόταν διαρκώς επάνω τους. Και όταν μερικοί από τον λαό βγήκαν το Σάββατο για να μαζέψουν μάννα, ο Κύριος ρώτησε: “Έως πότε αρνείσθε να τηρείτε τις εντολές Μου και τους νόμους Μου;”» Πατριάρχες και Προφήτες, 296.

Gathering and eating the manna, is typifying John in chapter ten of Revelation taking (gathering) the little book out of the angel’s hand and then eating it.

La collecte et l’action de manger la manne préfigurent Jean, au chapitre dix de l’Apocalypse, prenant (recueillant) le petit livre de la main de l’ange, puis le mangeant.

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. Revelation 10:9.

And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. Revelation 10:9.

John first had to go to the angel and ask, then he had to “take” the little book, and then he had to “eat” it. John is representing the three steps of the first angel by going to and asking the angel, followed by the second step of taking and the third of eating. Gathering and or eating, is the first of the three tests of the manna, but it contains a fractal of all three manna tests. Gathering and eating the manna, is typifying Jeremiah.

D’abord, Jean devait aller vers l’ange et demander; ensuite, il devait « prendre » le petit livre, puis il devait le « manger ». En allant vers l’ange et en lui demandant, Jean représente les trois étapes du premier ange, suivies de la deuxième étape, qui consiste à prendre, et de la troisième, qui consiste à manger. Le rassemblement et/ou le fait de manger constituent la première des trois épreuves de la manne, mais cela contient une fractale des trois épreuves de la manne. Le fait de recueillir et de manger la manne est une figure typologique de Jérémie.

Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts. Jeremiah 15:16.

وجدتُ كلامَك فأكلتُه، فكان كلامُك لي للفرح ولبهجة قلبي، لأني دُعيتُ باسمك يا ربَّ إلهَ الجنود. إرميا 15:16.

His “words were found” by Jeremiah seeking and then asking for the little book. His word was found when the manna was gathered. Gathering and eating the manna, is typifying Ezekiel who ate the book given to him and in doing so identifies that to refuse to eat the book was to be as the rebellious house.

Ses « paroles furent trouvées » par Jérémie qui cherchait, puis demandait le petit livre. Sa parole fut trouvée lorsque la manne fut recueillie. Le fait de recueillir et de manger la manne préfigure Ézéchiel qui mangea le livre qui lui était donné et, ce faisant, montre que refuser de manger le livre, c’était être comme la maison rebelle.

But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee. And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein; And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe. Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.

Mā ta, foʻi, le atalii o le tagata, faalogo mai i le mea ou te fai atu ai iā te oe; aua e te fouvale e pei o lea aiga fouvale: tatala lou gutu, ma aai i le mea ou te avatu iā te oe. Ma ina ua ou vaai, faauta, sa auina mai se lima iā te aʻu; ma, faauta foʻi, sa i ai i totonu se tusi taai; ona ia fofola lea i oʻu luma; sa tusia i totonu ma fafo; ma sa tusia ai i totonu o tagi faanoanoa, ma le auega, ma le malaia. Ua toe fetalai mai foʻi o ia iā te aʻu, Le atalii o le tagata, aai i le mea e te maua; aai i lenei tusi taai, ona e alu lea e tautala atu i le aiga o Isaraelu.

So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll. And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness. Ezekiel 2:8–3:3.

Alors j’ouvris la bouche, et il me fit manger ce rouleau. Et il me dit: Fils de l’homme, nourris ton ventre, et remplis tes entrailles de ce rouleau que je te donne. Alors je le mangeai; et il fut dans ma bouche doux comme du miel. Ézéchiel 2:8–3:3.

If Ezekiel refused to eat the little book he would be in the rebellious house, and the “roll” of the “book” he was to eat was represented as “lamentations, and mourning, and woe,” representing a threefold message in the last days. The threefold message of the last days is the three angels messages of Revelation fourteen, and the context which Ezekiel presents those three messages, is the context of Islam and the third woe. The three messages possess an alpha and an omega, and the third is “woe,” a primary symbol of Islam, so the alpha must agree with the omega, therefore the “lamentations” represent the lamentations that began at 9/11 with the arrival of the seventh trumpet and third woe which would progressively escalate on into the seven last plagues. At the Sunday law “earthquake” of Revelation eleven, the third woe cometh quickly, and inspiration informs us that the unrighteous decree of Isaiah ten is that Sunday law. The verse begins by stating “woe” upon those who make unrighteous decrees.

Se Ezequiel se recusasse a comer o livrinho, ele estaria na casa rebelde; e o “rolo” do “livro” que lhe cumpria comer foi apresentado como “lamentações, e pranto, e ai”, representando uma mensagem tríplice nos últimos dias. A mensagem tríplice dos últimos dias são as mensagens dos três anjos de Apocalipse catorze, e o contexto em que Ezequiel apresenta essas três mensagens é o contexto do Islã e do terceiro ai. As três mensagens possuem um alfa e um ômega, e a terceira é “ai”, símbolo primário do Islã; assim, o alfa deve concordar com o ômega; portanto, as “lamentações” representam as lamentações que começaram em 11 de setembro, com a chegada da sétima trombeta e do terceiro ai, as quais se intensificariam progressivamente até às sete últimas pragas. No “terremoto” da lei dominical de Apocalipse onze, o terceiro ai vem depressa, e a Inspiração nos informa que o decreto injusto de Isaías dez é essa lei dominical. O versículo começa declarando “ai” sobre os que decretam decretos injustos.

Eating the manna was the first of three tests, the second was the “doubling” on the preparation day. And what were the preparing for? They were preparing for the Sabbath test, which is the third angel’s message.

Manger la manne fut la première de trois épreuves; la seconde fut le « doublement » au jour de la préparation. Et à quoi se préparaient-ils? Ils se préparaient à l’épreuve du sabbat, qui est le message du troisième ange.

That threefold miracle was also the first or alpha test of ten tests. God gave manna at the first step, then He gave a ‘double’ portion at the second step, but none at the third. The third test is different than the first two tests, for the third is the litmus test. Those three tests represent the alpha of a ten-step testing process that leads to the first Kadesh.

Le miracle triple constitua également la première, ou l’alpha, d’une série de dix épreuves. Dieu donna la manne à la première étape; puis Il donna une portion « double » à la deuxième étape, mais aucune à la troisième. La troisième épreuve est différente des deux premières, car la troisième est l’épreuve décisive. Ces trois épreuves représentent l’alpha d’un processus d’épreuve en dix étapes qui conduit au premier Kadès.

If you search the various theologians, you will find many lists of the ten tests that reach their conclusion at the first Kadesh. Almost all of them include the Red Sea as one of the ten tests, some include historical waymarks before the Red Sea during the plagues. They are all wrong.

ብዙ ሥነ-መለኮት ምሁራንን ብትመረምሩ፣ መደምደሚያቸውን በመጀመሪያው ቃዴስ የሚያገኙ የአሥሩ ፈተናዎች ብዙ ዝርዝሮችን ታገኛላችሁ። ከእነርሱ እጅግ ብዙዎቹ ቀይ ባሕርን ከአሥሩ ፈተናዎች አንዱ እንደሆነ ያካትታሉ፤ አንዳንዶቹ ደግሞ በመቅሠፍቶቹ ወቅት ከቀይ ባሕር በፊት የነበሩ ታሪካዊ ምልክቶችን ያካትታሉ። እነርሱ ሁሉ ስህተት ናቸው።

The first test is the manna. Paul identifies that the Red Sea crossing was baptism.

Jaarraa jalqabaa mannaa dha. Phaawuloos immoo ce’umsi Galaana Diimaa cuuphaa akka ture ni ibsa.

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 1 Corinthians 10:1, 2.

De plus, frères, je ne veux pas que vous ignoriez que tous nos pères ont été sous la nuée, et que tous ont passé au travers de la mer; et tous ont été baptisés en Moïse dans la nuée et dans la mer. 1 Corinthiens 10:1, 2.

Moses typifies Jesus, and Jesus’ baptism identifies a testing process, threefold in nature, beginning with and emphasizing the test of appetite. The cross was typified by the Passover in Egypt. When they came out on the other side of the Red Sea, Christ was resurrected as the first fruit offering. When He came out of the watery grave at the hands of John the Baptist, Christ (the first fruit offering) began a forty-day testing process. After He was resurrected as typified by His baptism, there were forty days that Christ interacted with the disciples’ face to face. The testing process begins after the Red Sea crossing, as certainly as Christ was driven by the Spirit into the wilderness as soon as He came out of the water.

Musa, İsa’yı tipler; İsa’nın vaftizi ise mahiyeti itibarıyla üç katmanlı olan, iştahın sınanmasıyla başlayıp buna vurgu yapan bir deneme sürecini gösterir. Çarmıh, Mısır’daki Fısıh ile tiplenmiştir. Kızıldeniz’in öte yanına çıktıklarında, Mesih ilk ürün takdimesi olarak diriltilmişti. Vaftizci Yahya’nın eliyle sudan mezardan çıktığında, Mesih (ilk ürün takdimesi) kırk günlük bir deneme sürecine başladı. Vaftiziyle tiplenen dirilişinden sonra, Mesih’in öğrencilerle yüz yüze görüştüğü kırk gün vardı. Deneme süreci, Kızıldeniz geçişinden sonra başlar; tıpkı Mesih’in sudan çıkar çıkmaz Ruh tarafından çöle sürülmüş olması kadar kesin bir şekilde.

The first test for Christ was appetite, for the Bread of Heaven took up His anointed work right where Adam had fallen. The first test after the Red Sea is the threefold manna test typifying the threefold test upon the Bread of Heaven. Christ’s testing began after He came out of the water, so the ten tests must also begin ‘after’ they came out of the water. Christ was then confronted with a threefold test, set within the context of appetite, as typified by the threefold test of the manna that began after the Spirit had driven ancient Israel out of Egypt and into the wilderness.

Proba ya liboso mpo na Klisto ezalaki mposa ya bilei, pamba te Lipa ya Likoló akamataki mosala na Ye oyo epakolamaki kaka wana epai Adama akweyaki. Proba ya liboso nsima ya Mbú Motane ezali proba ya mana ya biteni misato, oyo ezali elembo ya proba ya biteni misato oyo eyaki likoló ya Lipa ya Likoló.

The other lists that conjecture about what rebellions are represented by the ten tests that culminate at Kadesh identify Aaron’s golden calf rebellion as one of those ten tests, but they are wrong.

Die anderen Aufstellungen, die Mutmaßungen darüber anstellen, welche Auflehnungen durch die zehn Prüfungen dargestellt werden, die in Kadesch ihren Höhepunkt erreichen, führen Aarons Auflehnung mit dem goldenen Kalb als eine dieser zehn Prüfungen an, doch sie irren.

The provocation of the golden calf represents two tests. It is an essential element of the golden calf’s symbolism. The idolatry manifested when the people thought God would not see, was followed by the return of Moses. Then the people made a choice to remain idolaters in full view of God, as represented by Moses.

Ukucasulwa kwethole legolide kumelela izivivinyo ezimbili. Kuyingxenye ebalulekile yophawu lwethole legolide. Ukukhonza izithombe okwavela lapho abantu becabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengeke abone, kwalandelwa ukubuya kukaMose. Khona-ke abantu benza ukukhetha kokuhlala bengabakhonzi bezithombe phambi kukaNkulunkulu obala, njengoba emelwe nguMose.

In the twofold escalating rebellion, we see a prophetic division in the tribes, when the tribe of Levi became exclusively assigned to the sanctuary work, for until that rebellion, the sanctuary work was to be accomplished by the firstborn of every tribe. No longer would that be the case. Now the faithful tribe of Levi would maintain the temple. “Division” or separation into ‘two’ is an element of the prophetic characteristic of the golden calf.

হএ টু-ফোল্ড এসক্যালেটিং রেবেলিয়ন-এ, আমরা গোষ্ঠীগুলোর মধ্যে একটি ভাববাণীমূলক বিভাজন দেখতে পাই, যখন লেবি-গোষ্ঠী একান্তভাবে পবিত্রধামের কার্যভার গ্রহণের জন্য নিযুক্ত হলো; কারণ সেই বিদ্রোহের পূর্ব পর্যন্ত পবিত্রধামের কাজ প্রত্যেক গোষ্ঠীর জ্যেষ্ঠপুত্রদের দ্বারাই সম্পন্ন হওয়ার কথা ছিল। আর তা আর সেইরূপ থাকল না। এখন বিশ্বস্ত লেবি-গোষ্ঠীই মন্দির রক্ষণাবেক্ষণ করবে। “বিভাজন” বা ‘দুই’-এ পৃথকীকরণ সোনার বাছুরের ভাববাণীমূলক বৈশিষ্ট্যের একটি উপাদান।

Aaron’s rebellion typified the rebellion of Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel. Jeroboam ‘doubles’ the golden calves, placing one in Bethel and one in Dan. Aaron and Jeroboam are representing parallel histories, which is the history of the formation of the image of the beast. The history of the image of the beast is fulfilled in two periods, divided by the Sunday law in the United States. The image of the beast is a symbol of the combination of church and state which is set up first in the United States, and then in the world.

کوطی‌بوونی هارون نموونەی کوطی‌بوونی یەربوعام بوو، کە یەکەم پاشای شانشینی باکووری ئیسرائیل بوو. یەربوعام گوسالە زێڕینەکان «دووبارە» دەکاتەوە، یەکێکیان لە بەیت‌ئیل و یەکێکیان لە دان دادەنێت. هارون و یەربوعام مێژووگەلێکی هاوتەریب نیشان دەدەن، کە ئەوەش مێژووی پێکهاتنی وێنەی ئاژەڵە. مێژووی وێنەی ئاژەڵە لە دوو ماوەدا تەواو دەبێت، کە بە یاسای یەکشەممە لە ویلایەتە یەکگرتووەکان دابەش دەکرێت. وێنەی ئاژەڵە هێمای یەکگرتنی کڵێسا و دەوڵەتە، کە سەرەتا لە ویلایەتە یەکگرتووەکان دامەزرێت، و پاشان لە جیهاندا.

There is always a division associated with symbols of the image of the beast. With Aaron it was the separation of the Levites, with Jeroboam it was the separation of the twelve tribes into two southern and ten northern tribes.

Majora dýranyň keşbine degişli nyşanlar bilen hemişe bir bölünişik baglanyşyklydyr. Harun döwründe bu Lewileriň aýrylmagy boldy; Ýarobgam döwründe bolsa bu on iki taýpanyň günortadaky iki taýpa bilen demirgazykdaky on taýpa bolup bölünmegi boldy.

The symbol of that relationship of church and state is called “the image of the beast” by John in the book of Revelation. Aaron and Jeroboams’ golden calves were images of a beast, and the beast they were images of is Babylon, for the first kingdom of Bible prophecy is represented by a head of “gold” in Daniel chapter two. The image of the beast represents two tests, for the test is first brought upon the earth beast—the United States, then in chapter thirteen of Revelation the United States forces the world to set up an image to the beast. The first test is the USA, then the world.

Chinhil hnam leh ram inlaichinna chhinchhiahna chu Johana’n Thupuan bu-ah “sakeibaknei lem” tiin a sawi a ni. Aarona leh Jeroboam te rangkachak bawngno lemte kha sakeibaknei lem an ni a, an lemna sakeibaknei chu Babylona a ni; a chhan chu Bible hrilhlâwkna ram lalna hmasa ber chu Daniela bung hnihnaah rangkachak “lu” hmanga entîr a ni avângin.

“As America, the land of religious liberty, shall unite with the Papacy in forcing the conscience and compelling men to honor the false sabbath, the people of every country on the globe will be led to follow her example.” Testimonies, volume 6, 18.

“Wɔnhwɛ sɛ Amerika, asase a ɔsom ahofadi wom no, bɛka ne ho abɔ Papacy no ho de ahyɛ ahonim so na ahyɛ nnipa ma wɔadi homeda atoro no ni no, wɔbɛdaadaa aman a ɛwɔ wiase nyinaa mu nkurɔfo ma wɔadi ne nhwɛso no akyi.” Testimonies, volume 6, 18.

“Foreign nations will follow the example of the United States. Though she leads out, yet the same crisis will come upon our people in all parts of the world.” Testimonies, volume 6, 395.

« Les nations étrangères suivront l’exemple des États-Unis. Bien qu’elle ouvre la voie, la même crise viendra néanmoins sur notre peuple dans toutes les parties du monde. » Témoignages, volume 6, 395.

The golden calf rebellion is twofold and marks two of the first nine tests which lead to the tenth and final test at the first Kadesh. When Aaron and Jeroboams’ rebellions are brought together “line upon line” you find Aaron, the high priest representing a church and Jeroboam, the king of Israel, representing the state. The two lines together are a symbol of a church state combination. Jeroboam’s two altars were set up in Bethel, (meaning church) and Dan (meaning judgment) and together representing the combination of church and state. With these points in place, we will begin to identify the ten tests.

Le soulèvement du veau d’or est double et marque deux des neuf premières épreuves qui conduisent à la dixième et dernière épreuve au premier Kadès. Lorsque les rébellions d’Aaron et de Jéroboam sont rapprochées « ligne sur ligne », on voit Aaron, le souverain sacrificateur représentant une Église, et Jéroboam, le roi d’Israël, représentant l’État. Ces deux lignes réunies sont le symbole d’une union de l’Église et de l’État. Les deux autels de Jéroboam furent établis à Béthel (signifiant Église) et à Dan (signifiant jugement), représentant ensemble la combinaison de l’Église et de l’État. Ces points étant établis, nous commencerons à identifier les dix épreuves.

The ten tests are set within the context of the Sabbath rest (Hebrews 3–4). They begin with the threefold miracle of the manna and its lesson upon the Sabbath and it ends at the tenth test, the first Kadesh. That first Kadesh is “the day of provocation in the Scriptures,” and Paul places the final rebellion in the context of the Sabbath test. The alpha test was the Sabbath, as symbolized by manna, and the tenth and omega test at the first Kadesh was also the Sabbath rest. Alpha and Omega always represents the end with the beginning.

امتحانات ده‌گانه در چارچوب آرامیِ سَبَّت قرار داده شده‌اند (عبرانیان ۳–۴). آنها با معجزهٔ سه‌گانهٔ مَنّا و درس آن دربارهٔ سَبَّت آغاز می‌شوند و در امتحان دهم، یعنی قادِشِ نخست، پایان می‌یابند. آن قادشِ نخست «روزِ تحریک در کتب مقدّس» است، و پولُس این عصیانِ نهایی را در چارچوبِ امتحانِ سَبَّت قرار می‌دهد. امتحانِ آلفا سَبَّت بود، چنان‌که مَنّا نماد آن بود، و امتحانِ دهم و اُمگا در قادشِ نخست نیز آرامیِ سَبَّت بود. آلفا و اُمگا همواره پایان را با آغاز بازمی‌نمایانند.

Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

لهٰذا، جیسا کہ روحُ القدس فرماتا ہے، اگر آج تم اُس کی آواز سنو، تو اپنے دلوں کو سخت نہ کرو، جیسا کہ مخالفت کے وقت، بیابان میں آزمائش کے دن ہوا؛ جب تمہارے باپ دادا نے مجھے آزمایا، پرکھا، اور چالیس برس تک میرے کام دیکھے۔ اس لیے مجھے اُس نسل سے رنج ہوا، اور میں نے کہا، یہ ہمیشہ اپنے دل میں گمراہ رہتے ہیں؛ اور انہوں نے میری راہوں کو نہیں پہچانا۔ چنانچہ میں نے اپنے غضب میں قسم کھائی، کہ یہ میرے آرام میں داخل نہ ہوں گے۔

Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

Gade pran swen, frè m yo, pou pa rive gen nan okenn nan nou yon move kè enkredilite ki ta fè nou vire do bay Bondye vivan an. Men, ankouraje youn lòt chak jou, toutotan yo rele l Jodi a, pou okenn nan nou pa vin fè tèt di anba twonpri peche a. Paske nou vin patisipe nan Kris la, si nou kenbe fèm jiska lafen konfyans nou te genyen depi nan kòmansman an;

While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Tandis qu’il est dit: Aujourd’hui, si vous entendez sa voix, n’endurcissez pas vos cœurs, comme lors de la provocation. Car quelques-uns, après avoir entendu, provoquèrent; toutefois, ce ne furent pas tous ceux qui étaient sortis d’Égypte sous la conduite de Moïse. Mais contre qui fut-il irrité pendant quarante ans? Ne fut-ce pas contre ceux qui avaient péché, et dont les corps tombèrent dans le désert? Et à qui jura-t-il qu’ils n’entreraient pas dans son repos, sinon à ceux qui n’avaient pas cru? Ainsi voyons-nous qu’ils ne purent y entrer à cause de leur incrédulité.

Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Kia tapu mātou ki te wehi, kei mahue noa iho te kupu whakaari mō te tomo ki tōna okiokinga, ā, kitea noatia he tangata o koutou kua taka ki muri, kāore i taea e ia. I kauwhautia hoki te rongopai ki a tātou, pēnei anō me tā rātou; otiia kīhai taua kupu i kauwhautia i whai hua ki a rātou, nō te mea kāore i whakaranua ki te whakapono i roto i te hunga i rongo.

For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

Denn wir, die wir gläubig geworden sind, gehen in die Ruhe ein, wie er gesagt hat: „So schwor ich in meinem Zorn: Wenn sie in meine Ruhe eingehen werden“; obgleich die Werke seit Grundlegung der Welt vollendet waren. Denn er hat an einer gewissen Stelle vom siebten Tag so gesprochen: „Und Gott ruhte am siebten Tag von allen seinen Werken.“ Und an dieser Stelle wiederum: „Wenn sie in meine Ruhe eingehen werden.“

Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, Today, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

အကြောင်းမူကား၊ ထိုအနားယူခြင်းထဲသို့ ဝင်ရမည့်သူအချို့သည် ရှိနေသေးသည်ဖြစ်၍၊ ပထမဦးစွာ သတင်းကောင်းကို ကြားရသူတို့သည် မယုံကြည်ခြင်းကြောင့် မဝင်ကြရသဖြင့်၊ တဖန် ကိုယ်တော်သည် “ယနေ့” ဟူသော နေ့တစ်နေ့ကို ကန့်သတ်သတ်မှတ်တော်မူ၍၊ ဤမျှကြာသော ကာလအပြီးတွင် ဒါဝိဒ်အားဖြင့် မိန့်တော်မူသည်မှာ၊ “ယနေ့၊ သင်တို့သည် ကိုယ်တော်၏အသံကို ကြားလျှင်၊ သင်တို့၏စိတ်နှလုံးကို မာကြောစေကြနှင့်” ဟူသတည်း။

For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

Car si Jésus leur avait donné le repos, il n’aurait pas ensuite parlé d’un autre jour.

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. Hebrews 3:8–4:11.

Es bleibt also dem Volke Gottes noch eine Ruhe vorbehalten. Denn wer in seine Ruhe eingegangen ist, der ist auch selbst von seinen Werken zur Ruhe gekommen, gleichwie Gott von den seinen. So lasset uns nun eifrig trachten, in jene Ruhe einzugehen, damit nicht jemand nach demselben Beispiel des Unglaubens zu Fall komme. Hebräer 3,8–4,11.

At “the day of provocation” the message of Joshua and Caleb was rejected. The passage is based upon a class who will not enter in, because of unbelief in a message they have heard. The message is represented by “rest.”

Na “dia da provocação”, a mensagem de Josué e Calebe foi rejeitada. A passagem baseia-se numa classe que não entrará, por causa da incredulidade para com uma mensagem que ouviu. A mensagem é representada por “descanso”.

“Those who are unwilling to give the Lord faithful, earnest, loving service will not find spiritual rest in this life nor in the life to come. ‘There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. . . . Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fail after the same example of unbelief.’ The rest here spoken of is the rest of grace, obtained by following the prescription. ‘Labor diligently.’” Pacific Union Recorder, November 7, 1901.

«ꞌAwo ɖe meli siwo menye dzidzɔme be yewoaɖe dɔ na Aƒetɔ la kple nuteƒekpɔkpɔ, didi, kple lɔlɔ̃me o la, womakpɔ gbɔgbɔme dziɖoɖo le agbe sia me o eye womakpɔe hã le agbe si gbɔna me o. “Eya ta la, dziɖoɖo aɖe gale Mawu ƒe amewo la ŋu....

The “rest” is a message represented by the message of Joshua and Caleb. Paul employs the truths associated with the seventh-day Sabbath as a symbol of the message of “rest” that was rejected by those who were destined to die in the wilderness.

Nastah itu adalah suatu pekabaran yang dilambangkan oleh pekabaran Yosua dan Kaleb. Paulus menggunakan kebenaran-kebenaran yang berkaitan dengan hari Sabat ketujuh sebagai lambang dari pekabaran “nastah” yang ditolak oleh mereka yang ditetapkan untuk mati di padang gurun.

The expression, “Today if ye will hear his voice” is the same as the book of Revelation’s emphasis upon any man who hears the voice of the Spirit, which is to hear the message of the Spirit, which is the message of the latter rain, which is the message of the “rest.” At Kadesh that voice sounded and the rebels selected a new leader to return them to Egypt. The history of this provocation is addressed in Psalm 95 and by Paul in Hebrews. The history identifies the failure of ancient Israel at their tenth test. The alpha test of the ten tests began with the threefold miracle of the manna representing the three angels’ messages, the Law of God, the Sabbath rest, the Bread of Heaven, obedience and judgment—and the last of the ten tests was the test of the “rest.” The “rest” of grace as Sister White states, is the symbol of the latter rain. Kadesh is a symbol of the test of either accepting or rejecting the message of the latter rain that is presented “line upon line.”

뀈곁읊, “오늘날 너희가 그의 음성을 듣거든”이라는 표현은, 어떤 사람이든 성령의 음성을 듣는 것에 대한 요한계시록의 강조와 같은 뜻이다. 그것은 곧 성령의 기별을 듣는 것이며, 성령의 기별은 늦은 비의 기별이요, 곧 “안식”의 기별이다. 가데스에서 그 음성이 울려 퍼졌으나, 반역자들은 그들을 애굽으로 되돌아가게 할 새로운 지도자를 택하였다. 이 격노하게 한 사건의 역사는 시편 95편과 바울이 히브리서에서 다루고 있다. 그 역사는 고대 이스라엘이 열 번째 시험에서 실패하였음을 밝혀 준다. 열 번의 시험 가운데 알파 시험은 만나의 삼중 기적으로 시작되었는데, 그 만나는 세 천사의 기별, 하나님의 율법, 안식일의 안식, 하늘의 떡, 순종과 심판을 표상하였다. 그리고 열 가지 시험 가운데 마지막은 “안식”의 시험이었다. 화잇 자매가 진술한 바와 같이, 은혜의 “안식”은 늦은 비의 상징이다. 가데스는 “한 줄에 또 한 줄로” 제시되는 늦은 비의 기별을 받아들이거나 거절하는 시험의 상징이다.

Line upon line the “rest” is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit represented as the latter rain. The “rest” is also the seventh-day Sabbath, the very seal that is placed upon the faithful during the latter rain period. The “rest” is the grace that represents the power imparted to the one hundred and forty-four thousand when their sins are forever blotted out. That grace is not alone the power that is imparted representing sanctification, but is also the grace that provides justification when Christ’s blood is used to remove the sins of the repentant soul. The “rest” of grace is the message of the righteousness of Christ, a righteousness that provides the grace (power) to live without sinning, and the grace that transforms a Laodicean unto a Philadelphian. Once transformed by the grace of justification, the former Laodicean, as a Philadelphian, through the power of grace, walks upon the sanctified pathway that leads to glorification. The “rest” is the message of the third angel, as represented as “justification by faith in verity.” This being the case, Kadesh pointed to 1888.

The first Kadesh identifies the message of “rest” that is the “gospel” message. The everlasting gospel is ‘the work of Christ in introducing a threefold testing process which develops and then manifests two classes of worshippers.’ The message of the everlasting gospel of “rest” at the first Kadesh represents the threefold message of the everlasting gospel that is governed by the threefold work of the Holy Spirit who convicts of sin, righteousness and judgment. Those three steps are the identical three testing steps in the test of the manna!

La première Kadès identifie le message du « repos », qui est le message de « l’Évangile ». L’Évangile éternel est « l’œuvre de Christ consistant à introduire un processus d’épreuve en trois volets, lequel développe puis manifeste deux classes d’adorateurs ». Le message de l’Évangile éternel du « repos » à la première Kadès représente le message en trois volets de l’Évangile éternel, lequel est régi par l’œuvre en trois volets du Saint-Esprit, qui convainc de péché, de justice et de jugement. Ces trois étapes sont les trois mêmes étapes d’épreuve dans l’épreuve de la manne !

The ten tests begin with a threefold testing process, emphasizing the Law of God, the Sabbath and mankind’s responsibility to eat and digest God’s message. The first of the ten tests was threefold as was the tenth. The first test employs the manna, as a symbol of the Bread of Heaven exalting the seventh-day Sabbath. The last test employs “rest,” as the symbol of the final testing process of the latter rain which culminates at the Sunday law, where those who represent the Bread of Heaven are lifted up as an ensign of the Sabbath.

Les dix épreuves commencent par un processus d’épreuve en trois volets, mettant l’accent sur la Loi de Dieu, le sabbat et la responsabilité de l’humanité de manger et de digérer le message de Dieu. La première des dix épreuves était triple, tout comme la dixième. La première épreuve met en œuvre la manne comme symbole du Pain du Ciel, exaltant le sabbat du septième jour. La dernière épreuve met en œuvre le « repos » comme symbole du processus final d’épreuve de la pluie de l’arrière-saison, qui atteint son point culminant lors de la loi du dimanche, où ceux qui représentent le Pain du Ciel sont élevés comme un étendard du sabbat.

The beginning of the ten tests as with the ending of the ten tests emphasize the Sabbath, and the gospel message associated with the Sabbath, which is the everlasting gospel of the third angel. The first Kadesh is the omega of the ten tests, so the alpha of the ten tests must possess the same characteristics. Kadesh represented 1863, when the Lord had desired to finish His work and take His people home, but the entrance into the Promised Land was delayed.

Le commencement des dix épreuves, tout comme l’achèvement des dix épreuves, met l’accent sur le sabbat et sur le message de l’Évangile qui y est associé, lequel est l’Évangile éternel du troisième ange. Le premier Kadès est l’oméga des dix épreuves ; ainsi, l’alpha des dix épreuves doit posséder les mêmes caractéristiques. Kadès représentait 1863, lorsque le Seigneur avait désiré achever Son œuvre et ramener Son peuple chez lui, mais l’entrée dans la Terre promise fut retardée.

“By reading the following scriptures we shall see how God regarded ancient Israel:

« Si nous lisons les passages suivants de l’Écriture, nous verrons comment Dieu considérait l’ancien Israël : »

“‘For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto Himself, and Israel for His peculiar treasure.’ Psalm 135:4.

«Car l’Éternel s’est choisi Jacob, Israël pour son trésor particulier.» Psaume 135:4.

“‘For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto Himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.’ Deuteronomy 14:2.

«Car tu es un peuple saint pour l’Éternel, ton Dieu, et l’Éternel t’a choisi pour être un peuple qui lui appartienne en propre, au-dessus de toutes les nations qui sont sur la terre.» Deutéronome 14:2.

“‘For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. The Lord did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people.’ Deuteronomy 7:6, 7.

“‘Car tu es un peuple saint consacré à l’Éternel, ton Dieu : l’Éternel, ton Dieu, t’a choisi pour que tu sois un peuple qui lui appartienne en propre, au-dessus de tous les peuples qui sont sur la face de la terre. Ce n’est point parce que vous étiez plus nombreux que tous les peuples que l’Éternel s’est attaché à vous et vous a choisis ; car vous étiez le moindre de tous les peuples.’ Deutéronome 7:6, 7.

“‘For wherein shall it be known here that I and Thy people have found grace in Thy sight? is it not in that Thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and Thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.’ Exodus 33:16.

«Car à quoi reconnaîtra-t-on ici que moi et Ton peuple avons trouvé grâce à Tes yeux? N’est-ce pas en ce que Tu marches avec nous? Ainsi nous serons mis à part, moi et Ton peuple, de tous les peuples qui sont sur la face de la terre.» Exode 33:16.

“How frequently ancient Israel rebelled, and how often they were visited with judgments, and thousands slain, because they would not heed the commands of God who had chosen them! The Israel of God in these last days are in constant danger of mingling with the world and losing all signs of being the chosen people of God. Read again Titus 2:13–15. We are here brought down to the last days, when God is purifying unto Himself a peculiar people. Shall we provoke Him as did ancient Israel? Shall we bring His wrath upon us by departing from Him and mingling with the world, and following the abominations of the nations around us?” Testimonies, volume 1, 282, 283.

« Combien souvent l’ancien Israël se rebella, et combien souvent il fut frappé de jugements, et des milliers furent mis à mort, parce qu’ils ne voulaient pas écouter les commandements de Dieu qui les avait choisis ! L’Israël de Dieu en ces derniers jours est constamment en danger de se mêler au monde et de perdre tout signe distinctif attestant qu’il est le peuple choisi de Dieu. Relisez Tite 2:13–15. Nous sommes ici amenés jusqu’aux derniers jours, lorsque Dieu se purifie un peuple particulier. Le provoquerons-nous comme le fit l’ancien Israël ? Attirerons-nous sa colère sur nous en nous éloignant de lui, en nous mêlant au monde, et en suivant les abominations des nations qui nous entourent ? » Témoignages, volume 1, 282, 283.

Sister White asks, “Shall we provoke Him as did ancient Israel?” We provoke him by mingling with the world, which is symbolized by Egypt, the very place that the rebels at Kadesh sought a leader to lead them back to. In 1863 the desire to return to Egypt and the selection of a new leader is represented by inspiration as desiring to be associated with the world.

Sœur White demande : « Le provoquerons-nous comme l’a fait l’ancien Israël ? » Nous le provoquons en nous mêlant au monde, lequel est symbolisé par l’Égypte, précisément le lieu vers lequel les rebelles à Kadès cherchèrent un chef pour les y ramener. En 1863, le désir de retourner en Égypte et le choix d’un nouveau chef sont présentés par l’Inspiration comme le désir de s’associer au monde.

The passage we are now considering was preceded by Sister White’s commentary of ancient Israel not entering into the rest. In the context of their continuous rebellion, she set forth the verses identifying how God wished to relate to His bride, but His bride refused. The following passage leads into what we just read.

Le passage que nous examinons maintenant était précédé du commentaire de sœur White sur l’ancien Israël n’entrant pas dans le repos. Dans le contexte de leur rébellion continuelle, elle exposa les versets qui montrent comment Dieu désirait être en relation avec Son épouse, mais Son épouse refusa. Le passage suivant introduit ce que nous venons de lire.

In the passage she records, “God required His people to trust in Him alone. He did not wish them to receive help from those who did not serve Him.” In 1863, Laodicean Millerite Adventism formed an alliance with the government of the United States to help in their efforts to prevent their young men from being drafted into the deadliest war in American history.

Dans le passage qu’elle rapporte, « Dieu exigeait de Son peuple qu’il mette sa confiance en Lui seul. Il ne souhaitait pas qu’il reçût de l’aide de ceux qui ne Le servaient pas. » En 1863, l’adventisme millérite laodicéen forma une alliance avec le gouvernement des États-Unis afin de soutenir ses efforts pour empêcher que ses jeunes gens ne soient enrôlés dans la guerre la plus meurtrière de l’histoire américaine.

“We here read the warnings which God gave to ancient Israel. It was not His good pleasure that they should wander so long in the wilderness; He would have brought them immediately to the Promised Land had they submitted and loved to be led by Him; but because they so often grieved Him in the desert, He sware in His wrath that they should not enter into His rest, save two who wholly followed Him. God required His people to trust in Him alone. He did not wish them to receive help from those who did not serve Him.

« Ici, nous lisons les avertissements que Dieu adressa à l’ancien Israël. Ce n’était pas son bon plaisir qu’ils errassent si longtemps dans le désert ; il les aurait aussitôt conduits dans la Terre promise, s’ils s’étaient soumis et s’ils avaient aimé se laisser conduire par Lui ; mais, parce qu’ils l’affligèrent si souvent dans le désert, il jura dans sa colère qu’ils n’entreraient pas dans son repos, à l’exception de deux hommes qui le suivirent pleinement. Dieu exigeait de son peuple qu’il mît sa confiance en Lui seul. Il ne voulait pas qu’il reçût du secours de ceux qui ne le servaient pas. »

“Please read Ezra 4:1–5: ‘Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity builded the temple unto the Lord God of Israel; then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto Him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither. But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the Lord God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us. Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building, and hired counselors against them, to frustrate their purpose.’

कृपया एज्रा 4:1–5 पढ़िए: “जब यहूदा और बिन्यामीन के विरोधियों ने सुना कि बन्दुआई से लौटे हुए लोग इस्राएल के परमेश्वर यहोवा के लिए मन्दिर बना रहे हैं, तब वे जरुब्बाबेल और पितृकुलों के प्रधानों के पास आकर उनसे कहने लगे, हमें भी तुम्हारे साथ बनाने दो; क्योंकि हम भी तुम्हारी ही नाईं तुम्हारे परमेश्वर को खोजते हैं, और अश्शूर के राजा एसर्हद्दोन के दिनों से, जिसने हमें यहाँ पहुँचाया, हम उसी के लिये बलि चढ़ाते आए हैं। परन्तु जरुब्बाबेल, येशू, और इस्राएल के पितृकुलों के बाकी प्रधानों ने उनसे कहा, हमारे परमेश्वर के लिये भवन बनाने में तुम्हारा हमसे कोई सम्बन्ध नहीं; पर हम ही मिलकर इस्राएल के परमेश्वर यहोवा के लिये इसे बनाएँगे, जैसा फारस के राजा कुस्रू ने हमें आज्ञा दी है। तब उस देश के लोगों ने यहूदा की प्रजा के हाथ ढीले कर दिए, और भवन बनाने में उन्हें घबराया, और उनकी सम्मति को निष्फल करने के लिये उनके विरुद्ध मन्त्रियों को मोल लिया।”

“Ezra 8:21–23: ‘Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of Him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek Him; but His power and His wrath is against all them that forsake Him. So we fasted and besought our God for this: and He was entreated of us.’

“એઝરા 8:21–23: ‘પછી મેં અહાવા નદી પાસે ઉપવાસ જાહેર કર્યો, જેથી અમે અમારા દેવ સમક્ષ પોતાને નમ્ર કરીએ અને આપણા માટે, આપણા નાનાં બાળકો માટે, તથા અમારી સર્વ સંપત્તિ માટે તેની પાસેથી સીધો માર્ગ માંગીએ. કારણ કે માર્ગમાં શત્રુ સામે અમારી સહાય માટે સૈનિકો અને ઘોડેસવારોની ટુકડી રાજા પાસે માંગતાં મને લાજ લાગી; કેમ કે અમે રાજાને કહી ચૂક્યાં હતાં કે, અમારા દેવનો હાથ તેને શોધનાર સૌના હિત માટે તેમના પર છે; પરંતુ તેનો બળ અને તેનો ક્રોધ તેને ત્યજનાર સૌની વિરુદ્ધ છે. તેથી અમે ઉપવાસ કર્યો અને આ બાબત માટે અમારા દેવને વિનવ્યો; અને તેણે અમારી વિનંતિ સાંભળી.’”

The prophet and these fathers did not regard the people of the land as worshipers of the true God, and though these professed friendship and wished to help them, they dared not unite with them in anything relating to His worship. When going up to Jerusalem to build the temple of God and to restore His worship, they would not ask help of the king to assist them in the way, but by fasting and prayer sought the Lord for help. They believed that God would defend and prosper His servants in their efforts to serve Him. The Creator of all things needs not the help of His enemies to establish His worship. He asks not the sacrifice of wickedness, nor accepts the offerings of those who have other gods before the Lord.

“Mprofta sy ireto razambe ireto dia tsy nihevitra ny vahoakan’ny tany ho mpivavaka amin’Andriamanitra marina; ary na dia nilaza ho sakaiza aza ireo sady naniry hanampy azy, dia tsy sahy niray taminy tamin’ny zavatra na inona na inona mikasika ny fanompoana Azy izy ireo. Rehefa niakatra ho any Jerosalema mba hanorina ny tempolin’Andriamanitra sy hampody amin’ny laoniny ny fanompoana Azy izy, dia tsy nangataka fanampiana tamin’ny mpanjaka mba hanohana azy teny an-dalana, fa tamin’ny fifadian-kanina sy ny vavaka no nitadiavany ny Tompo mba hahazoany fanampiana. Nino izy fa Andriamanitra no hiaro sy hampandroso ny mpanompony amin’ny ezaka ataony hanompo Azy. Ny Mpahary ny zavatra rehetra dia tsy mila ny fanampian’ny fahavalony mba hampiorina ny fanompoana Azy. Tsy mangataka ny fanatitra avy amin’ny faharatsiana Izy, ary tsy manaiky ny fanatitry ny olona izay manana andriamani-kafa eo anatrehan’i Jehovah.”

“We often hear the remark: ‘You are too exclusive.’ As a people we would make any sacrifice to save souls, or lead them to the truth. But to unite with them, to love the things that they love, and have friendship with the world, we dare not, for we should then be at enmity with God.” Testimonies, volume 1, 281, 282.

“Nous entendons souvent cette remarque : ‘Vous êtes trop exclusifs.’ En tant que peuple, nous consentirions à n’importe quel sacrifice pour sauver des âmes, ou pour les conduire à la vérité. Mais nous n’osons pas nous unir à eux, aimer les choses qu’ils aiment, ni entretenir une amitié avec le monde, car nous serions alors en inimitié avec Dieu.” Testimonies, volume 1, 281, 282.

Sister White states, in conjunction with her commentary of the rebellion of Kadesh, “The Creator of all things needs not the help of His enemies to establish His worship. He asks not the sacrifice of wickedness, nor accepts the offerings of those who have other gods before the Lord.” In 1863, the movement of Laodicean Millerite Adventism became a church and formed an alliance with the power that would enforce Sunday worship upon the nation and thereafter the world.

Dieu tout-puissant.” En 1863, le mouvement de l’adventisme millérite laodicéen devint une Église et forma une alliance avec la puissance qui imposerait l’observance du dimanche à la nation, puis au monde entier.

In the next article, we will continue our considerations of the prophetic lines that contribute to 1863, which is the capstone of the prophetic period of 1844 unto 1863.

ในบทความถัดไป เราจะดำเนินการพิจารณาแนวคำพยากรณ์ที่นำไปสู่ปี 1863 ต่อไป ซึ่งเป็นศิลายอดแห่งช่วงเวลาเชิงพยากรณ์จากปี 1844 ถึงปี 1863

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10; 3:14, 15.

那个已经有的,后来必再有;那个已经作的,后来必再作;日光之下并无新事。岂有一件事人能指着说:“看哪,这是新的”?哪知,在我们以前的世代,早已有了。我知道,神一切所作的都必存到永远;无所增添,也无所减少;神这样行,是要人在他面前存敬畏的心。现今所有的,先前已有;将来所有的,早已曾有;神使已过的事重新再来。传道书 1:9, 10;3:14, 15。
