It is commonly claimed that if five people saw the same car accident, the five witnesses would identify five different versions of the same wreck, though today, in the time period where the Holy Spirit is being withdrawn from mankind, those witnesses would no doubt include those who would invent and lie about what they saw in order to uphold their personal world-view, while believing they were being virtuous for doing so. In the hidden history there are several various lines of prophetic truth, which represents different witnesses of the same events. With God’s Word there is no falsehood, though there is often flawed human interpretation of those events, but the biblical witnesses of this history, rightly divided, all agree with one another.

Često se tvrdi da bi, kad bi pet ljudi vidjelo istu prometnu nesreću, tih pet svjedoka prepoznalo pet različitih prikaza iste nesreće; premda bi danas, u vremenu kada se Duh Sveti povlači od čovječanstva, među tim svjedocima bez sumnje bilo i onih koji bi izmišljali i lagali o onome što su vidjeli kako bi poduprli svoj osobni pogled na svijet, vjerujući pritom da time postupaju kreposno. U skrivenoj povijesti postoji nekoliko različitih linija proročke istine, koje predstavljaju različite svjedoke istih događaja. U Božjoj Riječi nema laži, premda često postoji pogrešno ljudsko tumačenje tih događaja, no biblijski svjedoci te povijesti, ispravno razdijeljeni, svi su suglasni jedni s drugima.

Peter is a symbol of the one hundred and forty-four thousand in this history, and his testimony represents a progressive history from the disappointment of July 18, 2020, to the awakening of December 31, 2023, then as one involved in the first test of the external vision, then the second test of the internal vision to be followed by the litmus test of the fireballs of Nashville, unto the lifting up of the ensign to the Gentiles.

Petar je simbol sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće u ovoj povijesti, a njegovo svjedočanstvo predstavlja progresivnu povijest od razočaranja 18. srpnja 2020. do buđenja 31. prosinca 2023., zatim kao onoga koji je uključen u prvi test vanjske vizije, potom u drugi test unutarnje vizije, nakon čega slijedi lakmus-test nashvillskih vatrenih kugli, sve do podizanja stijega narodima.

Donald Trump is in that hidden history as the one who stirs up all the globalists consisting of the world globalists, the Democratic party and the RINO’s of the Republican party. He fulfills the prophetic characteristics associated with the image of the beast, being resurrected from political death as the eighth that is of the seven. He is located throughout the hidden history, destined to be ruling when “active despotism” is enforced first upon the United States and thereafter the world. Apostate Protestantism, as Trump’s counterpart in the two horns of the earth beast is there in the history of the Maccabees. The various manifestations of the dragon power in the United Nations and Russia bear witness in the history. The papacy, as the robbers of thy people, is there to tie everything together and establish the vision.

Donald Trump nalazi se u toj skrivenoj povijesti kao onaj koji uzburkava sve globaliste, sastavljene od svjetskih globalista, Demokratske stranke i RINO-a Republikanske stranke. On ispunjava proročka obilježja povezana s likom zvijeri, budući da je uskrsnut iz političke smrti kao osmi koji je od sedmorice. On se nalazi kroz čitavu skrivenu povijest, određen da vlada kada „aktivni despotizam“ bude najprije nametnut Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, a potom i svijetu. Otpadnički protestantizam, kao Trumpov pandan u dva roga zemaljske zvijeri, prisutan je ondje u povijesti Makabejaca. Različite manifestacije zmajeve sile u Ujedinjenim narodima i Rusiji svjedoče u toj povijesti. Papinstvo, kao razbojnici tvoga naroda, tu je da sve poveže i uspostavi viđenje.

Peter is you, dear reader. Peter is a candidate to be among the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Peter is standing in the middle, the midpoint of several prophetic lines, by faith entering into the Most Holy Place and receiving the transformation that is accomplished by the vision of Christ. Peter is on the Mount of Transfiguration, where he is to be transformed into the image of Christ, while the United States is forming the image of the beast.

Petar si ti, dragi čitatelju. Petar je kandidat da bude među nositeljima stijega stotinu četrdeset i četiri tisuće. Petar stoji u sredini, na središnjoj točki nekoliko proročkih linija, vjerom ulazeći u Svetinju nad svetinjama i primajući preobrazbu koja se ostvaruje gledanjem Krista. Petar je na Gori preobraženja, gdje se treba preobraziti u Kristovo obličje, dok Sjedinjene Američke Države oblikuju sliku zvijeri.

“Brethren, we must have less of self and more of God. He claims the energies of the Church; but to a great extent the ability of our people is absorbed by unworthy objects. Too much time is devoted to petty ideas and claims. God wants us to come up into the mount, more directly into his presence. We are coming into a crisis, which, more than any previous time since the world began, will demand the entire consecration of every one that has named the name of Christ. God’s work demands all there is of us. But our people will never make this consecration until their hearts are changed. They need conversion as much as did Peter. When they have been thus quickened, Christ can say to them, ‘Strengthen thy brethren,’ ‘Feed my sheep,’ ‘Feed my lambs.’

„Braćo, moramo imati manje sebe, a više Boga. On polaže pravo na snage Crkve; ali je sposobnost našega naroda u velikoj mjeri zaokupljena nedostojnima predmetima. Previše se vremena posvećuje sitnim zamislima i zahtjevima. Bog želi da uzađemo na goru, izravnije u njegovu prisutnost. Dolazimo u krizu koja će, više nego ikoje prethodno vrijeme otkako je svijeta, zahtijevati potpuno posvećenje svakoga tko je prizvao ime Kristovo. Božje djelo zahtijeva sve što jesmo. Ali naš narod nikada neće prinijeti to posvećenje dok im se srca ne promijene. Njima je potrebno obraćenje jednako kao što je bilo potrebno Petru. Kada budu tako oživljeni, Krist im može reći: ‘Učvrsti svoju braću’, ‘Pasi ovce moje’, ‘Pasi jaganjce moje.’”

“When divine power is combined with human effort, the work will spread like fire in the stubble. God will employ agencies whose origin man will be unable to discern; angels will do a work which men might have had the blessing of accomplishing, had they not neglected to answer the claims of God. The work is now presented to man. Will he take it? There are at the present time many doors unbolted and thrown open to the workers. Will they enter these doors? Who is ready at the bidding of the Master to say, ‘Here am I, Lord, send me’? The Macedonian cry comes to us in pitiful appeals from all parts of the world, ‘Come over and help us.’” Review and Herald, December 15, 1885.

„Kada se božanska sila sjedini s ljudskim naporom, djelo će se širiti poput ognja u strništu. Bog će upotrijebiti oruđa čije podrijetlo čovjek neće moći razabrati; anđeli će izvršiti djelo koje su ljudi mogli imati blagoslov izvršiti, da nisu zanemarili odgovoriti na Božje zahtjeve. Djelo se sada iznosi pred čovjeka. Hoće li ga prihvatiti? U ovo vrijeme pred radnicima stoje mnoga odriješena i širom otvorena vrata. Hoće li ući na ta vrata? Tko je spreman na Učiteljev poziv reći: ‘Evo me, Gospodine, pošalji mene’? Makedonski vapaj dopire do nas u dirljivim molbama iz svih krajeva svijeta: ‘Prijeđi i pomozi nam.’” Review and Herald, 15. prosinca 1885.

We are to come to the mount and be converted as was Peter, and when we do, we shall be purified, as was Isaiah. The purification is represented as being fulfilled when Divine power is combined with human effort. The Macedonian call occurs in the hidden history of verse forty.

Treba da dođemo na goru i obratimo se kao što se obratio Petar, a kada to učinimo, bit ćemo očišćeni, kao što je bio Izaija. Očišćenje je prikazano kao ispunjeno kada se božanska sila sjedini s ljudskim naporom. Makedonski poziv javlja se u skrivenoj povijesti četrdesetoga retka.

“The time has come for decided efforts to be made in our cities. Read Luke 21. This is the message for this time, and it is written to this generation of the end. We must let nothing interpose between us and the work God has given us to do. Special efforts must be made to bring the truth before those in the cities.

„Došlo je vrijeme da se u našim gradovima poduzmu odlučni napori. Čitajte Luku 21. To je poruka za ovo vrijeme i napisana je za ovaj naraštaj kraja. Ne smijemo dopustiti da se išta ispriječi između nas i djela koje nam je Bog dao izvršiti. Moraju se uložiti posebni napori da se istina iznese pred one koji su u gradovima.

“Let no time be lost in picking others to pieces. All contention is to cease. We are to love as brethren. Let us go up into the mount with God, that we may come back with the reflection of the glory of God upon us. The only place we can obtain it is in the mount with God. There is a work to be done in studying the Word of the Lord as revealed in His law. There has been much casual reading, but how much real study? Christ lived among men and preached the very precepts of that law in the world.

„Neka se nimalo vremena ne gubi na razdiranje drugih. Svaka prepirka treba prestati. Trebamo ljubiti kao braća. Pođimo na goru s Bogom, da bismo se mogli vratiti s odsjajem slave Božje na sebi. Jedino mjesto gdje to možemo zadobiti jest gora s Bogom. Pred nama je djelo koje treba izvršiti u proučavanju Riječi Gospodnje kako je otkrivena u Njegovu zakonu. Bilo je mnogo površna čitanja, ali koliko je bilo stvarna proučavanja? Krist je živio među ljudima i propovijedao u svijetu same propise toga zakona.“

“The work will soon be cut short in righteousness. We must become more persistent and more devout in our efforts to carry it forward to completion. The time has come that we must not only be active, but we must concentrate that activity so as to make it tell. If we spent more time in the mount with God our work would be more effectual.

„Djelo će uskoro biti skraćeno u pravednosti. Moramo postati ustrajniji i pobožniji u svojim nastojanjima da ga privedemo dovršenju. Došlo je vrijeme kada ne smijemo biti samo aktivni, nego tu aktivnost moramo usredotočiti kako bi ona imala stvaran učinak. Kad bismo više vremena provodili na gori s Bogom, naš bi rad bio djelotvorniji.״

“There must come more convincing power into our preaching. The sword of the spirit must be edged anew and sent forth with power. Shall we put ourselves to it like men with all the realities of eternity before them? We want the Holy Ghost power to go forward and complete God’s work in the earth.” Australian Union Conference Recorder, October 1, 1906.

„U naše propovijedanje mora doći uvjerljivija sila. Mač Duha mora se iznova naoštriti i biti odaslan sa silom. Hoćemo li tomu pristupiti kao ljudi kojima su pred očima sve stvarnosti vječnosti? Želimo da sila Duha Svetoga ide naprijed i dovrši Božje djelo na zemlji.” Australian Union Conference Recorder, 1. listopada 1906.

It is on the mount, which is also the Most Holy Place, where Divinity is combined with our humanity, and Luke 21 is the message for the final generation, who are to give the final warning to the cities. The warning to the cities is a work that angels will accomplish if we refuse to come to the mount and be transformed into His image. The work is for the cities, for the last generation lives in a period when “thousands of cities” are to be destroyed. The prophetic period of the destruction of the cities begins with the fireballs of Nashville, and the work of warning begins there, and that work is identified in Luke 21. Through the years we have repeatedly shown that Luke 21 is a warning about Islam of the third woe.

Na gori, koja je ujedno i Presveto mjesto, Božanstvo je sjedinjeno s našom ljudskom naravi, a Luka 21 poruka je za posljednji naraštaj, koji treba dati posljednje upozorenje gradovima. Upozorenje gradovima djelo je koje će anđeli izvršiti ako mi odbijemo doći na goru i preobraziti se na Njegovu sliku. To je djelo za gradove, jer posljednji naraštaj živi u razdoblju kada „tisuće gradova” trebaju biti uništene. Proročko razdoblje uništenja gradova započinje vatrenim kuglama Nashvillea, i ondje započinje djelo upozoravanja, a to je djelo prepoznato u Luki 21. Tijekom godina više smo puta pokazivali da je Luka 21 upozorenje o islamu trećega jao.

In Luke 21 Jesus traced the history beginning with the rejection of ancient Israel as God’s chosen people on through to the end of the Dark Ages of papal persecution, and then in to the signs that ushered in the Millerite history. The Millerite history illustrates the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

U Luki 21 Isus je iznio povijest koja započinje odbacivanjem drevnoga Izraela kao Božjega izabranog naroda, nastavlja se sve do kraja mračnoga doba papinskoga progonstva, a zatim prelazi na znakove koji su uveli u mileritsku povijest. Mileritska povijest oslikava povijest sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće.

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Luke 21:24–27.

I padat će od oštrice mača i bit će odvedeni u sužanjstvo među sve narode; i Jeruzalem će gaziti pogani dok se ne ispune vremena pogana. I bit će znaci na suncu, i na mjesecu, i na zvijezdama; a na zemlji tjeskoba narodâ, u nedoumici; more i valovi hucat će; ljudima će srca klonuti od straha i od iščekivanja onoga što dolazi na svijet: jer će se sile nebeske uzdrmati. I tada će ugledati Sina Čovječjega gdje dolazi u oblaku sa silom i velikom slavom. Luka 21,24–27.

John, in chapter eleven of Revelation identifies that the 1,260 years of papal rule was prophetically given “to the Gentiles,” and Luke identifies that in 1798, the time of the Gentiles was fulfilled. Then Christ addressed the signs in the sun, moon and stars that mark the Millerite movement, concluding with “distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth.” The “distress of nations” in Luke is the “angering of nations” in Revelation.

Ivan u jedanaestom poglavlju Otkrivenja utvrđuje da je 1.260 godina papinske vladavine proročki dano „neznabošcima“, a Luka utvrđuje da se 1798. godine ispunilo vrijeme neznabožaca. Zatim se Krist osvrnuo na znakove na suncu, mjesecu i zvijezdama koji označuju mileritski pokret, zaključujući riječima: „na zemlji tjeskoba narodima u nedoumici; more i valovi huče; ljudi će umirati od straha i iščekivanja onoga što dolazi na svijet.“ „Tjeskoba narodima“ u Luki jest „gnjevljenje naroda“ u Otkrivenju.

And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. Revelation 11:18.

I narodi se razgnjeviše, i dođe gnjev tvoj, i vrijeme mrtvima da im se sudi, i da dadeš plaću slugama svojim prorocima, i svetima, i onima koji se boje imena tvojega, malima i velikima, te da uništiš one koji zemlju uništavaju. Otkrivenje 11:18.

God’s “wrath” occurs in the seven last plagues, and begins when Michael stands up and human probation closes. The angering of the nations is a period that leads to the close of probation. The angering of the nation’s began at 9/11, when Islam of the third woe arrived, thus marking the arrival of the latter rain.

Božji „gnjev” očituje se u sedam posljednjih zala i započinje kada Mihael ustane i završi se vrijeme kušnje za ljude. Gnjevljenje narodâ razdoblje je koje vodi do završetka vremena kušnje. Gnjevljenje narodâ započelo je 11. rujna, kada je islam trećega jaoa stigao, označivši tako dolazak kasne kiše.

“I saw that the anger of the nations, the wrath of God, and the time to judge the dead were separate and distinct, one following the other, also that Michael had not stood up, and that the time of trouble, such as never was, had not yet commenced. The nations are now getting angry, but when our High Priest has finished His work in the sanctuary, He will stand up, put on the garments of vengeance, and then the seven last plagues will be poured out.

„Vidjela sam da su srdžba narodā, gnjev Božji i vrijeme da se sudi mrtvima bili odvojeni i različiti, jedno je slijedilo drugo; također da se Mihael još nije podigao i da vrijeme nevolje, kakve nikada nije bilo, još nije otpočelo. Narodi se sada srde, ali kada naš Veliki Svećenik dovrši svoje djelo u Svetištu, ustat će, obući haljine osvete, i tada će biti izliveno sedam posljednjih zala.”

“I saw that the four angels would hold the four winds until Jesus’ work was done in the sanctuary, and then will come the seven last plagues.” Early Writings, 36.

„Vidjela sam da će četiri anđela zadržavati četiri vjetra dok Isusovo djelo ne bude dovršeno u Svetištu, a tada će doći sedam posljednjih zala.” Early Writings, 36.

In the Millerite history the angering of the nations, or as Luke records, “the distress of nations” was accomplished by Islam.

U Milleritskoj povijesti gnjev naroda, ili kako Luka bilježi, „tjeskoba narodâ“, bio je izvršen islamom.

“In 1838 Turkey became involved in war with Egypt. The Egyptians bid fair to overthrow the Turkish power. To prevent this, the four great powers of Europe, England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, interfered to sustain the Turkish government.” Uriah Smith, Synopsis of Present Truth, 218.

„Godine 1838. Turska se uplela u rat s Egiptom. Egipćani su imali izgleda srušiti tursku vlast. Da bi to spriječile, četiri velike sile Europe — Engleska, Rusija, Austrija i Pruska — umiješale su se kako bi poduprle tursku vladu.” Uriah Smith, Synopsis of Present Truth, 218.

In 1838, the so-called “eastern question” was shaking the nations, and the “eastern question” was Islam, the biblical east wind. Millerite history saw the nations shaken by Islam and then the Lord came in the clouds to the Most Holy Place, thus typifying when the Lord comes in the clouds at His Second Coming. Before His coming in the clouds Islam distresses the nations, and this is the message that Peter is given to proclaim to the cities in advance of the destruction of “thousands of cities.” The period of the destruction of the cities begins with the fireballs of Nashville.

Godine 1838. takozvano „istočno pitanje” potresalo je narode, a „istočno pitanje” bio je islam, biblijski istočni vjetar. Mileritska je povijest vidjela kako islam potresa narode, a potom je Gospodin došao u oblacima u Svetinju nad svetinjama, čime je predočen trenutak kada Gospodin dolazi u oblacima pri svojem Drugom dolasku. Prije Njegova dolaska u oblacima islam uznemiruje narode, i to je poruka koju je Petar primio da unaprijed objavi gradovima prije uništenja „tisuća gradova”. Razdoblje uništenja gradova započinje vatrenim kuglama Nashvillea.

“O that God’s people had a sense of the impending destruction of thousands of cities, now almost given to idolatry! But many of those who should be proclaiming the truth are accusing and condemning their brethren. When the converting power of God comes upon minds, there will be a decided change. Men will have no inclination to criticize and tear down. They will not stand in a position that hinders the light from shining to the world. Their criticism, their accusing, will cease. The powers of the enemy are mustering for battle. Stern conflicts are before us. Press together, my brethren and sisters, press together. Bind up with Christ. ‘Say ye not, A confederacy,... neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.’

„O kad bi Božji narod imao osjećaj za nadolazeće uništenje tisuća gradova, sada gotovo predanih idolopoklonstvu! Ali mnogi od onih koji bi trebali objavljivati istinu optužuju i osuđuju svoju braću. Kada obraćajuća sila Božja dođe na umove, nastat će odlučna promjena. Ljudi neće imati sklonosti kritizirati i rušiti. Neće zauzimati položaj koji priječi svjetlu da obasjava svijet. Njihovo kritiziranje, njihovo optuživanje, prestat će. Sile neprijatelja okupljaju se za boj. Pred nama su žestoki sukobi. Zbijte se zajedno, braćo i sestre moja, zbijte se zajedno. Povežite se s Kristom. ‘Ne govorite: Savez,... i ne bojte se onoga čega se on boji, niti strahujte. Gospoda nad vojskama — njega svetite; neka on bude strah vaš i neka on bude bojazan vaša. I on će biti Svetište; ali i kamen spoticanja i stijena sablazni objema kućama Izraelovim, zamka i mreža stanovnicima jeruzalemskim. I mnogi će se među njima spotaknuti i pasti, i razbiti se, i u zamku uhvatiti, i uloviti.’

“The world is a theater. The actors, its inhabitants, are preparing to act their part in the last great drama. God is lost sight of. With the great masses of mankind there is no unity, except as men confederate to accomplish their selfish purposes. God is looking on. His purposes in regard to his rebellious subjects will be fulfilled. The world has not been given into the hands of men, though God is permitting the elements of confusion and disorder to bear sway for a season. A power from beneath is working to bring about the last great scenes in the drama,—Satan coming as Christ, and working with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in those who are binding themselves together in secret societies. Those who are yielding to the passion for confederation are working out the plans of the enemy. The cause will be followed by the effect.

„Svijet je pozornica. Glumci, njegovi stanovnici, pripremaju se odigrati svoju ulogu u posljednjoj velikoj drami. Boga se gubi iz vida. Među velikim mnoštvima čovječanstva nema jedinstva, osim kad se ljudi udružuju kako bi ostvarili svoje sebične ciljeve. Bog promatra. Njegove će se namjere u pogledu Njegovih buntovnih podanika ispuniti. Svijet nije predan u ruke ljudima, premda Bog dopušta da sile pomutnje i nereda neko vrijeme vladaju. Sila odozdo djeluje kako bi dovela do posljednjih velikih prizora u drami,—Sotona dolazi kao Krist i djeluje sa svakom prijevarom nepravde među onima koji se povezuju u tajna društva. Oni koji se prepuštaju strasti za udruživanjem provode neprijateljeve planove. Uzrok će biti praćen posljedicom.“

“Transgression has almost reached its limit. Confusion fills the world, and a great terror is soon to come upon human beings. The end is very near. We who know the truth should be preparing for what is soon to break upon the world as an overwhelming surprise.” Review and Herald, September 10, 1903.

„Prijestup je gotovo dosegnuo svoju granicu. Zbunjenost ispunja svijet, a veliki užas uskoro će doći na ljudska bića. Kraj je veoma blizu. Mi koji poznajemo istinu trebali bismo se pripravljati za ono što će se uskoro obrušiti na svijet kao silno iznenađenje.“ Review and Herald, 10. rujna 1903.

The “elements of confusion and disorder” are being manufactured as the fruit of the system which Sister White identifies as “higher education,” which she also identifies as “the mystery of iniquity.” Nashville’s Parthenon temple is the symbol of false education that is now producing the “confusion and disorder” that bears “sway for a season.” The fireballs on Nashville are brought by Islam and they represent God’s judgment upon the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” When Nashville is hit the short period of the proclamation of the midnight cry begins and leads to the Sunday law, where Isaiah’s evil “confederacy” makes its final movement as the world is forced to accept the one-world government identified as the image of the beast in Revelation thirteen. Isaiah’s identification of the evil confederacy aligns with the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

„Elementi zbrke i nereda” proizvode se kao plod sustava koji sestra White prepoznaje kao „više obrazovanje”, a koji ona također prepoznaje kao „otajstvo bezakonja”. Partenonski hram u Nashvilleu simbol je lažnog obrazovanja koje sada proizvodi „zbrku i nered” koji „vladaju neko vrijeme”. Ognjene kugle nad Nashvilleom donosi islam, i one predstavljaju Božji sud nad „stablom spoznaje dobra i zla”. Kada Nashville bude pogođen, započinje kratko razdoblje objave ponoćnog pokliča i vodi do nedjeljnog zakona, gdje Izaijina zla „urota” čini svoj završni pokret dok je svijet prisiljen prihvatiti svjetsku vladu, prepoznatu kao sliku Zvijeri u trinaestom poglavlju Otkrivenja. Izaijino prepoznavanje zle urote usklađeno je sa zapečaćenjem sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće.

Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

Ne govorite: Savez, svemu onome čemu ovaj narod govori: Savez; i ne bojte se njihova straha niti se plašite. Gospoda nad vojskama njega samoga svetite; neka on bude vaš strah i neka on bude vaš užas. I on će biti svetište; ali i kamen spoticanja i stijena sablazni objema kućama Izraelovim, zamka i stupica stanovnicima Jeruzalema. I mnogi će se među njima spotaknuti, pasti i razbiti se, i uhvatit će se u zamku i bit će ulovljeni.

Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:12–20.

Sveži svjedočanstvo, zapečati zakon među mojim učenicima. I čekat ću Gospodina, koji sakriva lice svoje od doma Jakovljeva, i uzdat ću se u njega. Evo, ja i djeca koju mi je Gospodin dao jesmo za znakove i za čudesa u Izraelu od Gospodina nad vojskama, koji prebiva na gori Sionu. A kad vam reknu: Tražite one koji imaju prisne duhove i vračare koji šapću i mrmljaju, ne treba li narod tražiti svojega Boga? Za žive k mrtvima? Zakonu i svjedočanstvu: ako ne govore po ovoj riječi, to je zato što u njima nema svjetla. Izaija 8:12–20.

The passage from Sister White identifies that a season of “confusion and disorder” leads to “Satan coming as Christ.” Satan appears impersonating Christ at the Sunday law.

Odjeljak iz spisa sestre White ukazuje na to da razdoblje „zbrke i nereda” vodi do toga da „Sotona dolazi kao Krist”. Sotona se pojavljuje oponašajući Krista u vrijeme nedjeljnog zakona.

“By the decree enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.” Testimonies, volume 5, 451.

„Dekretom kojim se nameće ustanova papinstva, u kršenju Božjeg zakona, naš će se narod potpuno odvojiti od pravednosti. Kad protestantizam pruži svoju ruku preko ponora da prihvati ruku rimske vlasti, kad se preko bezdana dohvati i sklopi ruke sa spiritizmom, kad se, pod utjecajem toga trostrukog saveza, naša zemlja odrekne svakoga načela svojega Ustava kao protestantske i republikanske vlasti te osigura prostor za širenje papinskih zabluda i obmana, tada ćemo moći znati da je došlo vrijeme za čudesno Sotonino djelovanje i da je kraj blizu.” Testimonies, sv. 5, 451.

The season of “confusion and disorder” occurs leading up to the Sunday law. Just before the Sunday law, in the period typified by the Exeter camp meeting and the ten days in the upper room before Pentecost the one hundred and forty-four thousand are to “press together, my brethren and sisters, … bind up with Christ.” The sealing takes place before the Sunday law, and it is in that history that the evil confederacy begins its final work of setting up a one-world government.

Razdoblje „zbrke i nereda” nastupa uoči nedjeljnoga zakona. Neposredno prije nedjeljnoga zakona, u razdoblju predočenom exeterskim taborovanjem i deset dana u gornjoj sobi prije Pedesetnice, sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće trebaju „zbijati se zajedno, braćo i sestre moje, … povezati se s Kristom”. Pečaćenje se zbiva prije nedjeljnoga zakona, i upravo u toj povijesti zla konfederacija započinje svoje završno djelo uspostavljanja jedne svjetske vlade.

In the sealing time Christ will be a sanctuary for the righteous, but a stone of stumbling for the wicked. He will be “a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,” who are the “many” that fall, but to the few who are sealed “He” will be their “fear.”

U vrijeme pečaćenja Krist će pravednima biti svetište, a opakima kamen spoticanja. On će biti „zamka i mreža stanovnicima Jeruzalema“, koji su „mnogi“ koji padaju, ali malobrojnima koji su zapečaćeni „On“ će biti njihov „strah“.

“Fear” of God is what Eve lacked, and those that do fear God possess a different type of fear than the fear brought upon the many who stumble. The two types of fear mark those who pass and those who fail the testing process. Those who pass are sealed, those who don’t are represented by the number five, for they “stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.” The sealing time that is represented as occurring before the Sunday law, when there is a period of confusion and disorder, is when the parable of the ten virgins is fulfilled.

„Strah“ Božji ono je što je Evi nedostajalo, a oni koji se boje Boga posjeduju drukčiju vrstu straha od straha koji dolazi na mnoge koji posrću. Te dvije vrste straha označavaju one koji prolaze i one koji ne prolaze proces kušnje. Oni koji prolaze bivaju zapečaćeni, a oni koji ne prolaze prikazani su brojem pet, jer „posrću, i padaju, i razbijaju se, i hvataju se u zamku, i budu uhvaćeni“. Vrijeme pečaćenja, koje je prikazano kao da nastupa prije nedjeljnoga zakona, kada postoji razdoblje pomutnje i nereda, jest vrijeme kada se ispunjava prispodoba o deset djevica.

The few who are sealed in contrast with the many who stumble are those who “wait” for the Lord, thus identifying the wise virgins who “waited.” There is also a sanctified and unsanctified prophetic waiting within the two classes of virgins, that corresponds to the two types of fear.

Nekolicina onih koji su zapečaćeni, nasuprot mnogima koji posrću, jesu oni koji „čekaju” Gospodina, čime se prepoznaju mudre djevice koje su „čekale”. Također postoji posvećeno i neposvećeno proročko čekanje unutar dviju skupina djevica, koje odgovara dvjema vrstama straha.

“‘While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.’ By the tarrying of the bridegroom is represented the passing of the time when the Lord was expected, the disappointment, and the seeming delay. In this time of uncertainty, the interest of the superficial and halfhearted soon began to waver, and their efforts to relax; but those whose faith was based on a personal knowledge of the Bible had a rock beneath their feet, which the waves of disappointment could not wash away. ‘They all slumbered and slept;’ one class in unconcern and abandonment of their faith, the other class patiently waiting till clearer light should be given. Yet in the night of trial the latter seemed to lose, to some extent, their zeal and devotion. The halfhearted and superficial could no longer lean upon the faith of their brethren. Each must stand or fall for himself.” The Great Controversy, 395.

„Dok je zaručnik odgađao, sve su zadrijemale i zaspale.“ Odgađanje zaručnika predstavlja protek vremena u kojem se očekivao Gospodin, razočaranje i prividnu odgodu. U to vrijeme neizvjesnosti zanimanje površnih i polovičnih ubrzo je počelo slabjeti, a njihovi su napori popuštati; ali oni čija se vjera temeljila na osobnom poznavanju Biblije imali su stijenu pod svojim nogama, koju valovi razočaranja nisu mogli isprati. „Sve su zadrijemale i zaspale“; jedna skupina u bezbrižnosti i napuštanju svoje vjere, a druga skupina strpljivo čekajući dok ne bude dana jasnija svjetlost. Ipak, u noći kušnje činilo se da su i potonji donekle izgubili svoju revnost i predanost. Polovični i površni više se nisu mogli oslanjati na vjeru svoje braće. Svaki mora stajati ili pasti za sebe.“ Velika borba, 395.

Those who wait in a sanctified fashion are to be “signs and for wonders” as they are lifted up as an ensign to the world at the Sunday law, when the issue of the tree of knowledge of good and evil represents the knowledge of “those who have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter” and the knowledge identified by “the law and to the testimony.” It is the same test as it was for Eve and Adam. Do we accept education that has truth mixed and blended with error, or do we stand upon a “thus saith the Lord,” for if they speak not according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them. True and false education is a primary line of truth in the great controversy between Christ and Satan. Nashville is the symbol of rebellion against the Word of God, as certainly as Sodom is a symbol of licentiousness, and as New York is a symbol of the economic power of the United States and the Pentagon is a symbol of its military might.

Oni koji čekaju na posvećen način trebaju biti „znaci i čudesa“ dok su podignuti kao stijeg svijetu u vrijeme nedjeljnog zakona, kada pitanje stabla spoznaje dobra i zla predstavlja spoznaju „onih koji imaju prisne duhove, i vračara koji šapću i mrmljaju“ te spoznaju označenu izrazom „na Zakon i na svjedočanstvo“. To je ista kušnja kakva je bila za Evu i Adama. Prihvaćamo li obrazovanje u kojemu je istina pomiješana i stopljena sa zabludom, ili stojimo na „ovako govori Gospodin“, jer ako ne govore prema ovoj Riječi, to je zato što nema svjetla u njima. Istinito i lažno obrazovanje jedna je od glavnih crta istine u velikoj borbi između Krista i Sotone. Nashville je simbol pobune protiv Božje Riječi, jednako sigurno kao što je Sodoma simbol razuzdanosti, a New York simbol gospodarske moći Sjedinjenih Država i Pentagon simbol njihove vojne moći.

Peter is standing on the threshold of the fireballs of Nashville, in Panium and at the mount, that represents the temple test. He recognizes that Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism is about to be rebuked and made ashamed when the fireballs fall, and that Nashville, the United States and the world need to be warned. The message of Islam confirms the messengers just as the fire that fell at Carmel confirmed that Elijah was the true prophet. Yet the warning to Nashville is not simply Islam of the third woe, let alone what type of weapons are employed in the surprise attack. The message of warning must identify why Islam is being allowed to bring judgment, a judgment that begins a period where thousands of cities are destroyed. Identifying in advance that Islam would produce a surprise attack upon Nashville, will validate the messengers, but it is an incomplete warning if that is all that it does.

Petar stoji na pragu vatrenih kugli nad Nashvilleom, u Paniju i na gori, što predstavlja hramski ispit. On prepoznaje da će laodicejski adventizam sedmoga dana uskoro biti ukoren i posramljen kada vatrene kugle padnu, te da Nashville, Sjedinjene Države i svijet trebaju biti opomenuti. Poruka islama potvrđuje vjesnike, kao što je oganj koji je pao na Karmelu potvrdio da je Ilija bio pravi prorok. Ipak, opomena Nashvilleu nije jednostavno islam trećeg jao, a još manje pitanje kakva se vrsta oružja upotrebljava u iznenadnom napadu. Poruka opomene mora utvrditi zašto je islamu dopušteno donijeti sud, sud koji započinje razdoblje u kojemu će tisuće gradova biti uništene. To što će se unaprijed prepoznati da će islam izvesti iznenadni napad na Nashville potvrdit će vjesnike, ali to je nepotpuna opomena ako se sve svodi samo na to.

The fireballs of Nashville are a judgment of God that begins a short period that ends at the Sunday law, which as in the beginning of the period is also a judgment of God. God told Adam and Eve in advance what the test was, and what the consequences would be should they fail the test. Sister White identifies the importance of being able to reason “from cause to effect,” and the Bible identifies that a “curse” without a “cause” will not come.

Vatrene kugle u Nashvilleu sud Božji su koji započinje kratko razdoblje koje završava nedjeljnim zakonom, koji je, kao i na početku toga razdoblja, također sud Božji. Bog je unaprijed rekao Adamu i Evi u čemu se sastoji kušnja i kakve će biti posljedice ako ne prođu kušnju. Sestra White ističe važnost sposobnosti rasuđivanja „od uzroka do posljedice“, a Biblija navodi da „prokletstvo“ bez „uzroka“ neće doći.

As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come. Proverbs 26:2.

Kao što ptica lutanjem, kao što lastavica letenjem, tako ni prokletstvo bez uzroka neće doći. Izreke 26:2.

The fireballs of Nashville are the “effect,” and the “curse” that comes. The warning message must include the “cause.” The prophet Jonah’s message was not simply an identification of destruction in forty days, but it produced a revival and reformation from the king throughout the population. What was identified caused the king and his people to turn from their evil ways. Jonah had told them of the coming destruction, and he told them it was because of their wicked and evil lifestyle.

Vatrene kugle Nashvillea jesu „posljedica“ i „prokletstvo“ koje dolazi. Poruka upozorenja mora uključivati i „uzrok“. Poruka proroka Jone nije bila tek najava razorenja za četrdeset dana, nego je proizvela probuđenje i reformu od kralja pa kroz sav narod. Ono što je bilo razotkriveno navelo je kralja i njegov narod da se odvrate od svojih zlih putova. Jona im je rekao za nadolazeće razorenje i rekao im je da ono dolazi zbog njihova opakog i zlog načina života.

For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Jonah 3:6–8.

Jer riječ doprije do kralja Ninive te on ustade sa svojega prijestolja, skide sa sebe svoju odoru, zaogrnu se kostrijeti i sjede u pepeo. I dade da se u Ninivi proglasi i objavi, po odredbi kralja i njegovih velikaša, govoreći: Neka ni ljudi ni životinje, ni krda ni stada, ništa ne okušaju; neka ne pasu niti piju vode. Nego neka se i ljudi i životinje zaogrnu kostrijeti i snažno zavape Bogu; štoviše, neka se svaki odvrati od svojega zloga puta i od nasilja što mu je u rukama. Jona 3,6–8.

Islam is a trumpet power, and the seven trumpets of Revelation eight through eleven, and also chapter sixteen possess specific prophetic characteristics. The first four trumpets were judgments upon imperial Rome for passing the first Sunday law in 321. The next two trumpets were judgments upon papal Rome for passing a Sunday law in 538. The seven trumpets of Revelation eight through eleven, typify the seven last plagues of Revelation sixteen, which is God’s judgment upon mankind for Sunday enforcement.

Islam je sila trube, a sedam truba iz Otkrivenja od osmog do jedanaestog poglavlja, kao i šesnaesto poglavlje, posjeduju određena proročka obilježja. Prve četiri trube bile su sudovi nad carskim Rimom zbog donošenja prvoga zakona o nedjelji 321. godine. Sljedeće dvije trube bile su sudovi nad papinskim Rimom zbog donošenja zakona o nedjelji 538. godine. Sedam truba iz Otkrivenja od osmog do jedanaestog poglavlja predoznačuju sedam posljednjih zala iz Otkrivenja 16, što je Božji sud nad čovječanstvom zbog nametanja svetkovanja nedjelje.

The warning message of Nashville must identify the footsteps leading to a Sunday law, and based upon the prophetic testimony, the judgment follows, and does not precede the cause. The judgment is the effect of Sunday enforcement. The five witnesses of the hidden history of verse forty we are considering provide different testimonies, but unlike the human witnesses, all the prophetic lines blend together. To identify the footsteps of the ultimate Sunday law in the United States, is accomplished when Peter combines the testimony of Donald Trump to explain the effect of the fireballs of Nashville.

Poruka upozorenja iz Nashvillea mora prepoznati korake koji vode prema zakonu o nedjelji, a na temelju proročkoga svjedočanstva sud slijedi, a ne prethodi uzroku. Sud je posljedica nametanja svetkovanja nedjelje. Pet svjedoka skrivene povijesti četrdesetoga retka koje razmatramo pružaju različita svjedočanstva, ali za razliku od ljudskih svjedoka, sve se proročke linije stapaju zajedno. Prepoznati korake konačnoga zakona o nedjelji u Sjedinjenim Državama postiže se kada Petar poveže svjedočanstvo Donalda Trumpa kako bi objasnio učinak nashvilleskih vatrenih kugli.

The warning of Nashville to the world is that God begins His final judgment of men and nations at that point in time. A period of the destruction of the cities then begins and quickly leads to the Sunday law where national apostasy is followed by national ruin. Satan then arrives to personate Christ, and the evil confederacy is set up as the ten kings agree to give their kingdom to the robbers of thy people, that establish the vision. The warning of Nashville is represented by the history that precedes Nashville as represented by Donald Trump forming an image to the beast. The message of Trump is the warning trumpet that precedes the fireballs of Nashville.

Upozorenje iz Nashvillea svijetu jest da Bog u tom trenutku započinje svoj konačni sud nad ljudima i narodima. Tada započinje razdoblje razaranja gradova i brzo vodi do zakona o nedjelji, gdje nacionalni otpad slijedi nacionalna propast. Sotona tada dolazi kako bi se predstavio kao Krist, i uspostavlja se zla konfederacija dok se deset kraljeva slažu dati svoje kraljevstvo razbojnicima tvoga naroda, koji utvrđuju viđenje. Upozorenje iz Nashvillea prikazano je poviješću koja prethodi Nashvilleu, a koju predstavlja Donald Trump koji oblikuje sliku Zvijeri. Trumpova poruka jest truba upozorenja koja prethodi vatrenim kuglama Nashvillea.

We will continue these things in the next article.
