We are considering six historical lines within the history of Adventism where controversies over the symbol of Rome was the issue. We are employing the methodology of the latter rain, which is “line upon line” from “here a little” and “there a little.” We began by identifying that the first controversy over the symbol of Rome illustrates the current controversy, and therefore emphasizes that we are now in the last controversy before probation closes.
ንሕና ኣብ ታሪኽ ኣድቨንቲዝም ውሽጢ፡ ክርክራት ብዛዕባ ምልክት ሮሜ ዘሰረቱ ሽዱሽተ ታሪኻዊ መስመራት ንምርመር ኣለና። ነቲ ስርዓት ናይ ዝናብ ዳሕራይ ንጥቀመሉ ኣለና፣ እዚ ድማ “መስመር ልዕሊ መስመር” ካብ “ኣብዚ ቍሩብ”ን “ኣብቲ ቍሩብ”ን ዝብል እዩ። ናይ መጀመርታ ክርክር ብዛዕባ ምልክት ሮሜ ነቲ ሕጂ ዘሎ ክርክር ከም ዘመልክት ብምልላይ ጀሚርና፤ ስለዚ ድማ ሕጂ ኣብቲ ምዕጻው ግዜ ምሕረት ቅድሚ ዝመጽእ ናይ መወዳእታ ክርክር ከም ዘለና የጉልሕ።
The seriousness of this final controversy about the symbol of Rome is also represented by verses ten through sixteen of Daniel eleven, which typify the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel eleven. The history of verse forty brings the student of prophecy to 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union as represented in verse ten. The next verse, verse forty-one, which identifies the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, is typified by verse sixteen. Inspiration has identified that what was sealed was “the portion of the book of Daniel that related to the last days”.
Ang kaseryosohan niini nga katapusang kontrobersiya mahitungod sa simbolo sa Roma gilarawan usab sa mga bersikulo napulo hangtod napulog-unom sa Daniel onse, nga nagatipo sa tinagong kasaysayan sa bersikulo kap-atan sa Daniel onse. Ang kasaysayan sa bersikulo kap-atan nagadala sa estudyante sa tagna ngadto sa 1989 ug sa pagkapukan sa Soviet Union ingon nga girepresentahan sa bersikulo napulo. Ang sunod nga bersikulo, ang bersikulo kap-atan ug usa, nga nagaila sa haduol na nga balaod sa Dominggo sa Estados Unidos, gitipo sa bersikulo napulog-unom. Ang Inspirasyon nagaila nga ang gisilyohan mao ang “bahin sa basahon ni Daniel nga may kalabutan sa ulahing mga adlaw”.
1989 unto the Sunday law is the sealed portion of the last days, and it is typified in verses ten through sixteen. It is therefore the increase of knowledge that leads to the close of probation for Seventh-day Adventists, for Adventism’s probation in the United States is finished at the Sunday law. In verses ten through sixteen we find verse fourteen, which identifies that it is the “robbers” of God’s people that establish the vision.
1989年から日曜法に至るまでが終わりの日の封じられた部分であり、それは第十節から第十六節において予表されている。したがって、知識の増加こそがセブンスデー・アドベンチストにとって恩恵期間の終了へと導くのである。なぜなら、アメリカ合衆国におけるアドベンチズムの恩恵期間は、日曜法において終わるからである。第十節から第十六節のうちに、私たちは第十四節を見いだすが、そこでは、神の民の「強奪する者たち」がその幻を確立することが示されている。
Therefore, the Millerite controversy that is represented upon the 1843 pioneer chart is the first controversy of Rome in Adventism’s history. The fact that the very same controversy has again arrived, informs anyone who wishes to see that Jesus, as the Alpha and Omega, always illustrates the end with the beginning. The current controversy is the final controversy which sifts the wise and foolish virgins.
Par conséquent, la controverse millérite représentée sur le tableau pionnier de 1843 constitue la première controverse de Rome dans l’histoire de l’adventisme. Le fait que cette même controverse soit de nouveau survenue montre à quiconque veut voir que Jésus, en tant qu’Alpha et Oméga, illustre toujours la fin par le commencement. La controverse actuelle est la controverse finale qui opère le criblage entre les vierges sages et les vierges folles.
Sanctified prophetic logic teaches that the one hundred and forty-four thousand come into perfect unity before their close of probation at the soon-coming Sunday law. The refining fire of Malachi’s Messenger of the Covenant is now purifying the Levites as gold and silver. The Dirt Brush Man is now purging His floor with words of truth.
Manteau nang manalagna nga lohika nagtudlo nga ang usa ka gatus ug kap-atan ug upat ka libo moabut sa hingpit nga panaghiusa sa dili pa ang ilang panapos sa panahon sa pagsulay diha sa umalabot nga balaod sa Domingo. Ang mapino nga kalayo sa Mensahero sa Tugon ni Malakias karon nagaputli sa mga Levita ingon sa bulawan ug salapi. Ang Tawo nga may Hugawng Brush karon nagahinlo sa Iyang salog pinaagi sa mga pulong sa kamatuoran.
“‘Whose fan is in His hand, and He will throughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner.’ Matthew 3:12. This was one of the times of purging. By the words of truth, the chaff was being separated from the wheat. Because they were too vain and self-righteous to receive reproof, too world-loving to accept a life of humility, many turned away from Jesus. Many are still doing the same thing. Souls are tested today as were those disciples in the synagogue at Capernaum. When truth is brought home to the heart, they see that their lives are not in accordance with the will of God. They see the need of an entire change in themselves; but they are not willing to take up the self-denying work. Therefore they are angry when their sins are discovered. They go away offended, even as the disciples left Jesus, murmuring, ‘This is an hard saying; who can hear it?’” The Desire of Ages, 392.
«“Den, hvis kasteskovl er i hans hånd, og han skal rense sin tærskeplads til bunds og samle sin hvede i laden.” Matthæus 3,12. Dette var en af renselsens tider. Ved sandhedens ord blev avnerne skilt fra hveden. Fordi de var for forfængelige og selvretfærdige til at modtage irettesættelse, for hengivne til verden til at tage imod et liv i ydmyghed, vendte mange sig bort fra Jesus. Mange gør stadig det samme. Sjæle prøves i dag, ligesom disse disciple blev det i synagogen i Kapernaum. Når sandheden lægges hjertet nær, ser de, at deres liv ikke er i overensstemmelse med Guds vilje. De ser nødvendigheden af en fuldstændig forandring i sig selv; men de er ikke villige til at tage det selvfornægtende arbejde op. Derfor bliver de vrede, når deres synder afsløres. De går bort forargede, ligesom disciplene forlod Jesus med klagen: “Dette ord er hårdt; hvem kan høre på det?”” Jesu Liv, s. 392.
The fact that the first sixteen verses are the beginning of Daniel’s last prophecy, and that those verses align with the last six verses of the chapter, indicates that the Alpha and Omega is using the verses in the beginning to accomplish the final separation of the wise and wicked, as represented by Daniel in chapter twelve, which is now occurring.
Noong katotohanang ang unang labing-anim na talata ang pasimula ng huling propesiya ni Daniel, at na ang mga talatang iyon ay umaayon sa huling anim na talata ng kabanata, ay nagpapahiwatig na ang Alpha at Omega ay ginagamit ang mga talata sa pasimula upang isakatuparan ang pangwakas na paghihiwalay ng marurunong at ng masasama, gaya ng kinakatawan ni Daniel sa ikalabindalawang kabanata, na nagaganap ngayon.
A third witness to the serious nature of the controversy is the fact that inspiration, through the writings of Sister White, clearly upholds the 1843 pioneer chart, which represents the controversy of Rome in verse fourteen. The beginning controversy represents the ending controversy, and the inspired endorsement of the Millerite understanding of verse fourteen’s “robbers of thy people,” means that if that foundational truth is rejected, it is simultaneously a rejection of the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy. In agreement with the previous two witnesses that emphasize that this controversy occurs just before probation closes is the certainty that the last, or final, deception for those who profess to uphold the Spirit of Prophecy, is a rejection of the Spirit of Prophecy.
Un troisième témoignage du caractère grave de cette controverse réside dans le fait que l’inspiration, par les écrits de Sister White, soutient clairement la carte pionnière de 1843, laquelle représente, au verset quatorze, la controverse de Rome. La controverse du commencement représente la controverse de la fin, et l’approbation inspirée de la compréhension millérite des « brigands de ton peuple » au verset quatorze signifie que, si cette vérité fondamentale est rejetée, c’est en même temps un rejet de l’autorité de l’Esprit de Prophétie. En accord avec les deux témoignages précédents, qui soulignent que cette controverse survient juste avant la clôture du temps de grâce, il est certain que la dernière, ou ultime, séduction pour ceux qui professent soutenir l’Esprit de Prophétie est un rejet de l’Esprit de Prophétie.
“Satan is . . . constantly pressing in the spurious—to lead away from truth. The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God. ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish’ (Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God’s remnant people in the true testimony.
«Сатана... постоянно навязывает поддельное, чтобы увести от истины. Самым последним обольщением сатаны будет сделать недейственным свидетельство Духа Божьего. „Без откровения свыше народ необуздан“ (Притчи 29:18). Сатана будет действовать изобретательно, различными путями и через различные средства, чтобы поколебать доверие остатка народа Божьего к истинному свидетельству. »
“There will be a hatred kindled against the Testimonies which is satanic. The workings of Satan will be to unsettle the faith of the churches in them, for this reason: Satan cannot have so clear a track to bring in his deceptions and bind up souls in his delusions if the warnings and reproofs and counsels of the Spirit of God are heeded.” Selected Messages, book 1, 48.
“चर्चेस के बीच Testimonies के विरुद्ध एक ऐसी घृणा भड़काई जाएगी जो शैतानी होगी। शैतान के कार्यों का उद्देश्य उनमें कलीसियाओं के विश्वास को विचलित करना होगा, क्योंकि यदि परमेश्वर की आत्मा की चेतावनियों, ताड़नाओं और परामर्शों पर ध्यान दिया जाए, तो शैतान अपनी कपट-युक्तियों को प्रविष्ट कराने और प्राणों को अपने भ्रमों में बाँध लेने के लिए इतना स्पष्ट मार्ग नहीं पा सकता।” Selected Messages, book 1, 48.
The making of none effect, or the rejection of the authority of the “testimony of the Spirit of God” through the writings of Ellen White, is the “very last deception of Satan.” Sister White wrote that she was “shown” that the “1843 chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and should not be altered.” The previous passage directly associates the rejection of the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy with the vision of the last days, for all the prophets speak most directly of the last days. Therefore when Daniel says in verse fourteen that “the robbers” establish the vision, it is Solomon’s vision of Proverbs 29:18, which says that those who do not have the vision “perish,” and the word “perish” means “to be made naked”.
روحالقدس خدا کی ’’شہادت‘‘ کے اختیار کو ایلین وائٹ کی تحریروں کے ذریعے بےاثر ٹھہرانا، یا اسے ردّ کرنا، ’’شیطان کا بالکل آخری فریب‘‘ ہے۔ سسٹر وائٹ نے لکھا کہ اُنہیں ’’دکھایا گیا‘‘ کہ ’’1843 کا چارٹ خداوند کے ہاتھ کی ہدایت سے تیار کیا گیا تھا، اور اسے تبدیل نہیں کیا جانا چاہیے۔‘‘ سابقہ اقتباس براہِ راست نبوت کی روح کے اختیار کے ردّ کو آخری ایام کی رویا کے ساتھ مربوط کرتا ہے، کیونکہ تمام انبیا نہایت براہِ راست طور پر آخری ایام ہی کی بابت کلام کرتے ہیں۔ پس جب دانی ایل آیت چودہ میں کہتا ہے کہ ’’لٹیرے‘‘ رویا کو قائم کرتے ہیں، تو اس سے مراد امثال 29:18 میں سلیمان کی وہ رویا ہے، جو کہتی ہے کہ جو لوگ رویا نہیں رکھتے وہ ’’ہلاک‘‘ ہوتے ہیں، اور لفظ ’’ہلاک‘‘ کے معنی ہیں ’’برہنہ کر دیا جانا‘‘۔
“Perish” is therefore identifying that those who profess to uphold the Spirit of Prophecy in the last days, but who reject the authority represented therein, become naked, and perish, which is a description of the Laodiceans, who are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” They are counseled to buy “white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear.” If they refuse the counsel they are spewed out of the mouth of the Lord.
Par conséquent, le terme « périssent » indique que ceux qui professent soutenir l’Esprit de prophétie dans les derniers jours, mais qui rejettent l’autorité qui y est représentée, deviennent nus et périssent, ce qui correspond à la description des Laodicéens, qui sont « malheureux, misérables, pauvres, aveugles et nus ». Il leur est conseillé d’acheter des « vêtements blancs, afin que tu sois vêtu, et que la honte de ta nudité ne paraisse point ». S’ils refusent ce conseil, ils sont vomis de la bouche du Seigneur.
Thus, we find another witness that this nakedness is manifested just before probation closes. At the soon-coming Sunday law those naked souls will receive the mark of the beast, as they are overthrown, as represented in verse forty-one of Daniel eleven. The reason they will be overthrown is that they rejected the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy, which upholds the 1843 pioneer chart, which represents the foundations of Adventism, and includes the “key” which establishes the vision with the identification that Rome is the power represented as “the robbers of thy people” in verse fourteen.
Ainsi, nous trouvons un autre témoignage que cette nudité se manifeste juste avant la fin du temps de grâce. Lors de la loi dominicale imminente, ces âmes nues recevront la marque de la bête, au moment où elles seront renversées, comme cela est représenté au verset quarante et un de Daniel onze. La raison pour laquelle elles seront renversées est qu’elles ont rejeté l’autorité de l’Esprit de prophétie, lequel soutient le tableau pionnier de 1843, représentant les fondements de l’adventisme, et comprenant la « clé » qui confirme la vision par l’identification selon laquelle Rome est la puissance représentée comme « les violents de ton peuple » au verset quatorze.
“One thing is certain: those Seventh-day Adventists who take their stand under Satan’s banner will first give up their faith in the warnings and reproofs contained in the Testimonies of God’s spirit.
“Egy bizonyos: azok a Hetednapi Adventisták, akik Sátán zászlaja alá állnak, először feladják hitüket az Isten Lelkének bizonyságtételeiben foglalt intésekben és feddésekben.
“The call to greater consecration and holier service is being made, and will continue to be made. Some who are now voicing Satan’s suggestions will come to their senses. There are those in important positions of trust who do not understand the truth for this time. To them the message must be given. If they receive it, Christ will accept them, and will make them workers together with him. But if they refuse to hear the message, they will take their stand under the black banner of the Prince of Darkness.
“Die roepstem tot groter toewyding en heiliger diens word gegee, en sal voortgaan om gegee te word. Sommige wat nou Satan se ingevings verwoord, sal tot besinning kom. Daar is mense in belangrike vertrouensposisies wat nie die waarheid vir hierdie tyd verstaan nie. Aan hulle moet die boodskap gebring word. Indien hulle dit aanneem, sal Christus hulle aanneem en hulle medewerkers saam met Hom maak. Maar indien hulle weier om na die boodskap te luister, sal hulle hulle skaar onder die swart banier van die Vors van die Duisternis.”
“I am instructed to say that the precious truth for this time is open more and more clearly to human minds. In a special sense men and women are to eat of Christ’s flesh and drink of his blood. There will be a development of the understanding, for the truth is capable of constant expansion. The divine originator of truth will come into closer and still closer communion with those who follow on to know him. As God’s people receive his word as the bread of heaven, they will know that his goings forth are prepared as the morning. They will receive spiritual strength, as the body receives physical strength when food is eaten.” Spalding and Magan, 305, 306.

In our last article we identified that Uriah Smith was the champion of the rebellion of 1863, for it was he who introduced the counterfeit 1863 chart. The chart he produced in 1863 removed the seven times of Leviticus twenty-six from Laodicean Adventism’s prophetic message, thus marking the beginning of the progressive tearing down of the foundations, and also the beginning of the construction of the counterfeit Laodicean Adventist foundation, which is built upon sand. Later in Advent history, his private interpretation of the king of the north, bore the fruits of his prophetic model as people fled the church.
Ninu makala yetu iliyopita tulitambua kwamba Uriah Smith alikuwa bingwa wa uasi wa mwaka 1863, kwa maana ni yeye aliyeingiza chati bandia ya 1863. Chati aliyoitengeneza mwaka 1863 iliondoa zile nyakati saba za Mambo ya Walawi ishirini na sita kutoka katika ujumbe wa unabii wa Uadventista wa Laodikia, hivyo ikiashiria mwanzo wa kubomolewa hatua kwa hatua kwa misingi, na pia mwanzo wa kujengwa kwa msingi bandia wa Uadventista wa Laodikia, ambao umejengwa juu ya mchanga. Baadaye katika historia ya Uadventista, tafsiri yake binafsi kuhusu mfalme wa kaskazini ilizaa matunda ya kielelezo chake cha unabii watu walipolikimbia kanisa.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7:15–27.
Pasop para profeta na segikad, na lumapit anay sa inyo nga daw mga karnero ang panapton, apang sa sulod amo sila ang mabangis nga mga ido-idong. Makilala ninyo sila paagi sa ila mga bunga. May tawo bala nga nagakuha ubas halin sa tunok, ukon igos halin sa dawag? Sa amo man nga paagi, ang tagsa ka maayo nga kahoy nagapamunga sing maayo nga bunga; apang ang dunot nga kahoy nagapamunga sing malain nga bunga. Ang maayo nga kahoy indi makapamunga sing malain nga bunga, kag ang dunot nga kahoy indi man makapamunga sing maayo nga bunga. Ang tagsa ka kahoy nga wala nagapamunga sing maayo nga bunga ginatumba kag ginahaboy sa kalayo. Gani, makilala gid ninyo sila paagi sa ila mga bunga. Indi ang tagsa ka nagaambit sa akon, “Ginoo, Ginoo,” makasulod sa ginharian sang langit, kundi ang nagatuman sang kabubut-on sang akon Amay nga yara sa langit. Madamo ang magasiling sa akon sa sina nga adlaw, “Ginoo, Ginoo, wala bala kami nakapropesiya sa imo ngalan? kag sa imo ngalan nakapagwa sang mga demonyo? kag sa imo ngalan nakahimo sang madamo nga makatilingala nga mga buhat?” Kag dayon magasiling ako sa ila sing hayag, “Wala ko gid kamo nakilala; palayo kamo sa akon, kamo nga nagabuhat sang kasal-anan.” Busa, ang tagsa ka nagapamati sang sini ko nga mga pulong kag nagatuman sini, itanding ko siya sa isa ka maalamon nga tawo nga nagtukod sang iya balay sa ibabaw sang bato. Kag nag-ulan, kag nag-abot ang mga baha, kag naghuyop ang mga hangin, kag naghapak sa sina nga balay; apang wala ini matumba, kay natukod ini sa ibabaw sang bato. Kag ang tagsa ka nagapamati sang sini ko nga mga pulong kag wala nagatuman sini, itanding sa isa ka buang-buang nga tawo nga nagtukod sang iya balay sa ibabaw sang balas. Kag nag-ulan, kag nag-abot ang mga baha, kag naghuyop ang mga hangin, kag naghapak sa sina nga balay; kag ini natumba: kag daku gid ang pagkaguho sini. Mateo 7:15–27.
The leadership of Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism was passed by in 1989, as assuredly as the leadership of the Jewish church was passed by at the birth of Christ.
1989年，老底嘉状态之基督复临安息日会的领导层被越过了，正如基督降生之时，犹太教会的领导层确实被越过了一样。
“Men know it not, but the tidings fill heaven with rejoicing. With a deeper and more tender interest the holy beings from the world of light are drawn to the earth. The whole world is brighter for His presence. Above the hills of Bethlehem are gathered an innumerable throng of angels. They wait the signal to declare the glad news to the world. Had the leaders in Israel been true to their trust, they might have shared the joy of heralding the birth of Jesus. But now they are passed by.
“Men na wan sabi am, ma di tori de ful hebin wit rejoisin. Di oli wan dem we from di world of lait, wit wan interest we deep mo an soft mo, dem heart draw go na di ert. Di hol world de braita sake of Im presens. Na oba di hil dem of Bethlehem, wan plenti-plenti kompani of enjil dem don geda. Dem de wait fɔ di signal fɔ tok out di glad nyus to di world. If di lida dem na Israel bin tru to di trɔst we dem get, dem for bin fit fɔ share na di joy fɔ proclaim di bɔt of Jesus. Bot now, dem don pass dem by.”
“God declares, ‘I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.’ ‘Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness.’ Isaiah 44:3; Psalm 112:4. To those who are seeking for light, and who accept it with gladness, the bright rays from the throne of God will shine.” The Desire of Ages, 47.
« Dieu déclare : “Je répandrai de l’eau sur celui qui a soif, et des torrents sur la terre desséchée.” “La lumière se lève dans les ténèbres pour les hommes droits.” Ésaïe 44:3 ; Psaume 112:4. Sur ceux qui recherchent la lumière et qui l’acceptent avec joie, les rayons éclatants provenant du trône de Dieu resplendiront. » Jésus-Christ, p. 47.
The time of the end in the line of Christ was His birth, and it was then that the message which would test that generation was unsealed. 1989 was the time of the end for the candidates who are called to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Uriah Smith’s prophetic model rejected the foundational truths which are represented on the 1843 chart. Those truths were the “Rock.”
Le temps de la fin, dans la lignée de Christ, fut sa naissance, et c’est alors que fut descellé le message qui devait mettre cette génération à l’épreuve. L’année 1989 fut le temps de la fin pour les candidats appelés à faire partie des cent quarante-quatre mille. Le modèle prophétique d’Uriah Smith rejetait les vérités fondamentales qui sont représentées sur le tableau de 1843. Ces vérités étaient le « Rocher ».
“The warning has come: Nothing is to be allowed to come in that will disturb the foundation of the faith upon which we have been building ever since the message came in 1842, 1843, and 1844. I was in this message, and ever since I have been standing before the world, true to the light that God has given us. We do not propose to take our feet off the platform on which they were placed as day by day we sought the Lord with earnest prayer, seeking for light. Do you think that I could give up the light that God has given me? It is to be as the Rock of Ages. It has been guiding me ever since it was given.” Review and Herald, April 14, 1903.
“Onyikọwo ahụ abịala: A gaghị ekwe ka ihe ọ bụla bata nke ga-akpaghasị ntọala nke okwukwe ahụ nke anyị nọworo na-ewu kemgbe ozi ahụ bịara na 1842, 1843, na 1844.

On September 11, 2001 the latter rain began to sprinkle as the winds representing Islam of the third woe were released, and the Patriot Act marked a transition from English to Roman law prophetically announcing that the flood of the papal power had begun to flow. The final testing process for the house of Laodicean Adventism began, and “the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it”.
Le 11 septembre 2001, la pluie de l’arrière-saison commença à tomber en ondées légères, tandis que les vents représentant l’islam du troisième malheur furent relâchés, et le Patriot Act marqua une transition de la common law anglaise vers le droit romain, annonçant prophétiquement que le déluge de la puissance papale avait commencé à couler. Le processus final d’épreuve pour la maison de l’adventisme laodicéen commença, et « la pluie est tombée, les torrents sont venus, les vents ont soufflé et se sont jetés contre cette maison ; et elle est tombée : et sa ruine a été grande ».
The message that the mighty angel announced at that time identified that all nations had drunk the wine of Babylon, and the counterfeit methodology of papal Rome and apostate Protestantism which had been progressively adopted since the rebellion of 1863, is represented by the wine (doctrine) of Babylon.
Akuko onyankopɔn bɔfoɔ kɛseɛ no pae mu kaae saa berɛ no kyerɛeɛ sɛ aman nyinaa anom Babilon nsã no, na nnaadaa akwan a Papa Roma ne Protestantfoɔ atwe wɔn ho afi gyidie mu de di dwuma, a wɔde rekɔ anim agye atom fi atuateɛ a ɛbaa 1863 no mu no, na wɔgyina hɔ ma no sɛ Babilon nsã no (nkyerɛkyerɛ).
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Revelation 18:1–3.

At the disappointment of July 18, 2020, the testing process was over for the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, and the testing process of those who were the candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand began. When Michael began to awaken those candidates in July of 2023, the message, represented as oil in the parable of Adventism was again unsealed. Whether post September 11, 2001 or post July 2023, there was an outpouring of the oil, and the message that was unsealed in July 2023, when fully developed, is the Midnight Cry message of the parable.

It begins in the testing time as the message for the wise and foolish virgins, but it swells to the loud cry message. That message arrives at the soon-coming Sunday law, and when it arrives the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen calls God’s other flock out of Babylon.
Ā san beginnt iin det Tiet faan de Priiwing as det Boodskap foar det wise an det dwase Jungfrauen, man det swellt tu det Boodskap faan de lutte Krai. Det Boodskap kjar at bi de balde kaamende Sondag-Gesetz, an wan det kjar, roopt de twaad Stemm faan Offenbarung Kapitel achtjen God siin uur Flok ut Babylon rut.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Revelation 18:4, 5.
Et j’entendis du ciel une autre voix, disant : Sortez du milieu d’elle, mon peuple, afin que vous ne participiez point à ses péchés, et que vous n’ayez point de part à ses fléaux. Car ses péchés se sont amoncelés jusqu’au ciel, et Dieu s’est souvenu de ses iniquités. Apocalypse 18:4, 5.
The first voice of verse one through three announced the arrival of a testing time, and the sprinkling of the latter rain then began. The second voice identifies the end of that testing time, and announces the testing time for God’s other flock that is still in Babylon.
La première voix, aux versets un à trois, annonçait l’arrivée d’un temps d’épreuve, et l’aspersion de la pluie de l’arrière-saison commença alors. La seconde voix marque la fin de ce temps d’épreuve et annonce le temps d’épreuve pour l’autre troupeau de Dieu, qui se trouve encore à Babylone.
“So in the last work for the warning of the world, two distinct calls are made to the churches. The second angel’s message is, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’ And in the loud cry of the third angel’s message a voice is heard from heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, my people.’” Review and Herald, December 6, 1892.
“Ainsi, dans l’œuvre finale destinée à l’avertissement du monde, deux appels distincts sont adressés aux Églises. Le message du deuxième ange est : « Elle est tombée, elle est tombée, Babylone la grande ville, parce qu’elle a fait boire à toutes les nations le vin de la fureur de sa fornication. » Et dans le grand cri du message du troisième ange, une voix se fait entendre du ciel, disant : « Sortez du milieu d’elle, mon peuple. »” Review and Herald, 6 décembre 1892.
It is during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that Paul’s strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians is accomplished. Whether it was the testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church that began on September 11, 2001 or the testing of the virgins who experienced the disappointment of July 18, 2020, the testing occurs during an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That outpouring represents a testing message.
Paulusova silná iluze z 2. Tesalonickým se naplňuje během vylití Ducha svatého. Ať již šlo o zkoušku laodicejské církve adventistů sedmého dne, která začala 11. září 2001, nebo o zkoušku panen, jež zakusily zklamání 18. července 2020, tato zkouška probíhá během vylití Ducha svatého. Toto vylití představuje zkušební poselství.
“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.
“Los ungidos que están junto al Señor de toda la tierra tienen la posición que una vez fue dada a Satanás como querubín protector. Por medio de los seres santos que rodean su trono, el Señor mantiene una comunicación constante con los habitantes de la tierra. El aceite de oro representa la gracia con la cual Dios mantiene abastecidas las lámparas de los creyentes, para que no titileen ni se apaguen. Si no fuera porque este aceite santo es derramado desde el cielo en los mensajes del Espíritu de Dios, los agentes del mal tendrían dominio completo sobre los hombres.
“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.
«Бог бесчестится, когда мы не принимаем тех вестей, которые Он посылает нам. Тем самым мы отвергаем золотой елей, который Он желал бы излить в наши души, чтобы он был передан находящимся во тьме. Когда раздастся призыв: „Вот, Жених идет; выходите навстречу Ему“, те, кто не принял святого елея, кто не хранил благодать Христову в своих сердцах, обнаружат, подобно неразумным девам, что они не готовы встретить своего Господа. Они не имеют в самих себе силы приобрести елей, и их жизнь терпит крушение. Но если просить Святого Духа Божия, если умолять, как умолял Моисей: „Покажи мне славу Твою“, то любовь Божия изольется в сердца наши. Через золотые трубы золотой елей будет сообщен нам. „Не воинством и не силою, но Духом Моим, говорит Господь Саваоф“. Принимая светлые лучи Солнца Праведности, дети Божии сияют как светила в мире». Review and Herald, 20 июля 1897 г.
The sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began on September 11, 2001, and it represents two testing periods. The first is the final testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, and the second is for those who are the subjects of the parable of the ten virgins. To be either a wise or a foolish virgin requires that all the virgins experience a tarrying time.
Il tempo del suggellamento dei centoquarantaquattromila ebbe inizio l’11 settembre 2001, e rappresenta due periodi di prova. Il primo è la prova finale della chiesa avventista del settimo giorno di Laodicea, e il secondo riguarda coloro che sono i soggetti della parabola delle dieci vergini. Per essere sia una vergine avveduta sia una stolta, è necessario che tutte le vergini attraversino un tempo di indugio.
In Millerite history the tarrying time began with the arrival of the second angel, which occurred at the first disappointment. At that point the Protestants, who were God’s former covenant chosen people were passed by. On July 18, 2020 the former covenant chosen people were passed by, and the testing process that occurred during the tarrying time in the Millerite history began to be repeated. The message of the Midnight Cry was then developed in Millerite history, as it is currently being developed. When it fully arrived at the Exeter Camp meeting it was manifested who had the message (oil) and who did not. The former covenant chosen people of either history is the first to be tested and passed by.
W mellerowskiej historii czas zwłoki rozpoczął się wraz z nadejściem drugiego anioła, co nastąpiło podczas pierwszego rozczarowania. W tym momencie protestanci, którzy byli Bożym ludem wybranym dawnego przymierza, zostali pominięci. 18 lipca 2020 roku lud wybrany dawnego przymierza został pominięty, a proces próby, który miał miejsce podczas czasu zwłoki w historii mellerowskiej, zaczął się powtarzać. Poselstwo wołania o północy zostało następnie rozwinięte w historii mellerowskiej, tak jak obecnie jest rozwijane. Gdy w pełni dotarło ono na zgromadzenie obozowe w Exeter, ujawniło się, kto miał poselstwo (oliwę), a kto go nie miał. Lud wybrany dawnego przymierza w każdej z tych historii jest pierwszym, który zostaje poddany próbie i pominięty.
“‘A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you.’ I believe with all my heart that the Spirit of God is being withdrawn from the world, and those who have had great light and opportunities and have not improved them, will be the first to be left. They have grieved away the Spirit of God. The present activity of Satan in working upon hearts, and upon churches and nations should startle every student of prophecy. The end is near. Let our churches arise. Let the converting power of God be experienced in the heart of the individual members, and then we shall see the deep moving of the Spirit of God. Mere forgiveness of sin is not the sole result of the death of Jesus. He made the infinite sacrifice not only that sin might be removed, but that human nature might be restored, rebeautified, reconstructed from its ruins, and made fit for the presence of God.” Selected Messages, book 3, 154.
“‘Un novo corde vi darai, e un novo spirito metterò dentro de vos.’ Io credo con tote le corde que le Spirito de Deo es in train de esser retirate del mundo, e illes que ha habite grande lumine e opportunitates e non los ha meliorate, essera le prime a esser lassate. Illes ha repellite le Spirito de Deo. Le activitate presente de Satan in operar super le cordes, e super ecclesias e nationes, deberea alarmar omne studente del prophetia. Le fin es proxime. Que nostre ecclesias se leva. Que le potentia convertente de Deo sia experimentate in le corde del membros individual, e alora nos videra le profunde movimento del Spirito de Deo. Le simple remission del peccato non es le sol resultato del morte de Jesus. Ille faceva le sacrificio infinite non solmente pro que le peccato poterea esser removite, ma pro que le natura human poterea esser restaurate, re-embellite, reconstructe ex su ruinas, e rendite apte pro le presentia de Deo.” Selected Messages, libro 3, 154.
In either testing period, those who rejected the message that is unsealed receive Paul’s strong delusion.
Dans l’une ou l’autre période d’épreuve, ceux qui ont rejeté le message qui est descellé reçoivent la puissante séduction de Paul.
“It is a fearful thing to treat lightly the truth which has convinced our understanding and touched our hearts. We cannot with impunity reject the warnings which God in mercy sends us. A message was sent from heaven to the world in Noah’s day, and the salvation of men depended upon the manner in which they treated that message. Because they rejected the warning, the Spirit of God was withdrawn from the sinful race, and they perished in the waters of the flood. In the time of Abraham, mercy ceased to plead with the guilty inhabitants of Sodom, and all but Lot with his wife and two daughters were consumed by the fire sent down from heaven. So in the days of Christ. The Son of God declared to the unbelieving Jews of that generation, ‘Your house is left unto you desolate.’ Looking down to the last days, the same infinite power declares, concerning those who ‘received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ ‘For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’ As they reject the teachings of His Word, God withdraws His Spirit, and leaves them to the deceptions which they love.” Early Writings, 46.
“Ni jambo la kuogofya kulitendea kwa wepesi lile kweli ambalo limeishawishi fahamu yetu na kugusa mioyo yetu. Hatuwezi bila adhabu kuyakataa maonyo ambayo Mungu hututumia kwa rehema. Ujumbe ulitumwa kutoka mbinguni kuja ulimwenguni katika siku za Nuhu, na wokovu wa wanadamu ulitegemea jinsi walivyoutendea ule ujumbe. Kwa sababu waliikataa onyo, Roho wa Mungu aliondolewa kutoka kwa kizazi kile chenye dhambi, nao wakaangamia katika maji ya gharika. Katika wakati wa Ibrahimu, rehema ilikoma kusihi kwa wakaaji wenye hatia wa Sodoma, na wote isipokuwa Loti pamoja na mkewe na binti zake wawili wakaangamizwa kwa moto ulioshushwa kutoka mbinguni. Ndivyo ilivyokuwa pia katika siku za Kristo. Mwana wa Mungu aliwaambia Wayahudi wasioamini wa kizazi kile, ‘Nyumba yenu mmeachiwa hali ya ukiwa.’ Akiyatazama mbele hadi siku za mwisho, uweza uo huo usio na mipaka watangaza, kuhusu wale ambao ‘hawakuipokea kuipenda ile kweli, wapate kuokolewa,’ ‘Kwa hiyo Mungu awaletea nguvu ya upotevu, wauamini uongo: ili wahukumiwe wote ambao hawakuiamini kweli, bali walikuwa wakijifurahisha katika udhalimu.’ Wanapoyakataa mafundisho ya Neno Lake, Mungu huiondoa Roho Wake, na kuwaacha katika madanganyo yale wayapendayo.” Early Writings, 46.
