The prophetic line which I am identifying as ‘the wheel of Josiah’ begins with the rebellion of ancient Israel as they rejected God as their king in 1097 BC. The first three kings (Saul, David and Solomon) are identified as reigning for forty years, from 1097 BC through to 977 BC. At Solomon’s death the rebellion of Jeroboam and the ten northern tribes finish the line of the first three kings, and begins a line of kings in both the northern and southern kingdoms.
Proročki niz koji označavam kao „Jošijin kotač“ započinje pobunom drevnoga Izraela kada su odbacili Boga kao svojega kralja 1097. pr. Kr. Prva tri kralja (Šaul, David i Salomon) označena su kao oni koji su vladali četrdeset godina, od 1097. pr. Kr. do 977. pr. Kr. Po Salomonovoj smrti pobuna Jeroboama i deset sjevernih plemena dovršava niz prva tri kralja te započinje niz kraljeva i u sjevernom i u južnom kraljevstvu.
The first three kings are a symbol of many truths, but one of the wheels of truth which they are connected to is the last three kings of Judah—Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin and Zedekiah, who in turn represent Cyrus, Darius and Artaxerxes. Cyrus, Darius and Artaxerxes in turn represent their three decrees reaching from 516 BC to 457 BC; who in turn represent the three angels of Revelation fourteen that arrive in 1798, April 19, 1844 and October 22, 1844, respectively. The history of the arrival of the three angels of Revelation fourteen is repeated to the very letter in the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, thus identifying that the prophetic line that begins with the anointing of Saul as king reaches its conclusion when the church triumphant is anointed at the soon-coming Sunday law. The line includes the wheel of king Josiah, that reaches back to Jeroboam’s rebellion of Bethel and Dan in 977 BC.
Prva tri kralja simbol su mnogih istina, ali jedan od kotača istine s kojim su povezani jesu posljednja tri kralja Jude — Jojakim, Jojakin i Sidkija — koji zauzvrat predstavljaju Cira, Darija i Artakserksa. Cir, Darije i Artakserkso zauzvrat predstavljaju svoje tri uredbe koje se protežu od 516. pr. Kr. do 457. pr. Kr.; a one zauzvrat predstavljaju tri anđela iz četrnaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja, koji dolaze 1798., 19. travnja 1844. i 22. listopada 1844. godine. Povijest dolaska triju anđela iz četrnaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja ponavlja se do u najsitnije slovo u vremenu pečaćenja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, čime se prepoznaje da proročka linija koja započinje pomazanjem Šaula za kralja doseže svoj zaključak kada pobjedonosna crkva bude pomazana pri uskoro dolazećem nedjeljnom zakonu. Ta linija uključuje kotač kralja Jošije, koji seže natrag do Jeroboamove pobune u Betelu i Danu 977. pr. Kr.
Twenty-two
Dvadeset i dva
Jeroboam possesses the symbolism of twenty-two, for he reigned for twenty-two years, thus tying his witness into the history represented by twenty-two, which is a symbol of the combination of Divinity with humanity as illustrated by Daniel’s marah vision in the twenty-second day, and the number two hundred and twenty, of which, the number twenty-two is a tithe.
Jeroboam nosi simboliku broja dvadeset i dva, jer je vladao dvadeset i dvije godine, povezujući tako svoje svjedočanstvo s poviješću predstavljenom brojem dvadeset i dva, koji je simbol sjedinjenja božanstva s čovještvom, kako je prikazano u Danielovu viđenju marah dvadeset i drugoga dana, te brojem dvjesto dvadeset, od kojega je broj dvadeset i dva desetina.
And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead. 1 Kings 14:20.
A dana koliko je Jeroboam kraljevao bijaše dvadeset i dvije godine; i počinu sa svojim ocima, a njegov sin Nadab zakralji se na njegovu mjestu. 1 Kraljevima 14,20.
The ‘at-One-Ment,’ representing the combination of Divinity and humanity is the work of Christ that began on October 22, or the tenth month (Gregorian); ten time twenty-two equals two hundred and twenty. Jeroboam set up counterfeit altars at both Bethel and Dan, and is therefore a symbol of the counterfeit worship of Sunday in connection with the combination of church (Bethel: meaning church) and state (Dan: meaning judgment).
„Pomirenje“, koje predstavlja sjedinjenje božanstva i čovještva, djelo je Kristovo koje je započelo 22. listopada, odnosno u desetome mjesecu (gregorijanskom); deset puta dvadeset i dva jednako je dvjesto dvadeset. Jeroboam je podigao krivotvorene žrtvenike i u Betelu i u Danu te je stoga simbol krivotvorenoga bogoslužja nedjelje u vezi sa sjedinjenjem crkve (Betel: znači crkva) i države (Dan: znači sud).
Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel. And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David: If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah. Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan. And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi. And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made. So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense. 1 Kings 12:25–33.
Tada Jeroboam sagradi Šekem u Efrajimovoj gori i nastani se u njemu; zatim ode odande i sagradi Penuel. I reče Jeroboam u svome srcu: Sada će se kraljevstvo vratiti domu Davidovu. Ako ovaj narod bude odlazio gore prinositi žrtve u Domu Gospodnjem u Jeruzalemu, tada će se srce ovoga naroda opet okrenuti njihovu gospodaru, Roboamu, kralju Judinu, pa će me ubiti i vratiti se Roboamu, kralju Judinu. Zato se kralj posavjetova te načini dva zlatna teleta i reče im: Previše vam je ići gore u Jeruzalem; evo tvojih bogova, Izraele, koji su te izveli iz zemlje egipatske. I jedno postavi u Betelu, a drugo smjesti u Danu. I to postade grijeh; jer je narod išao klanjati se pred jednim, sve do Dana. I načini dom uzvišica te postavi svećenike iz najnižega sloja naroda, koji nisu bili od sinova Levijevih. I Jeroboam ustanovi blagdan osmoga mjeseca, petnaestoga dana u mjesecu, nalik blagdanu koji bijaše u Judi, i prinese na žrtveniku. Tako učini u Betelu, prinoseći žrtve teladima koja je načinio; i postavi u Betelu svećenike uzvišica koje je bio načinio. Tako je prinio na žrtveniku koji je bio načinio u Betelu petnaestoga dana osmoga mjeseca, upravo u mjesecu koji je izmislio u svome srcu; i ustanovi blagdan sinovima Izraelovim; te prinese na žrtveniku i kadi tamjanom. 1 Kraljevima 12:25–33.
In the foundational history of the ten northern tribes, there was a rebellion that had been typified by Israel's rejection of God as king, and also by the rebellion of Aaron and the golden calf. Aaron’s rebellion was at the foundational history of ancient Israel and Jeroboam’s was at the foundational history of the ten northern tribes. “Line upon line” Aaron, as a high priest represents the church and Jeroboam as king, represents the state. Those two foundational rebellions are a line that includes the foundational rebellion of the people of Israel in desiring a human king.
U temeljnoj povijesti deset sjevernih plemena postojala je pobuna koja je bila predoznačena Izraelovim odbacivanjem Boga kao kralja, a također i pobunom Arona i zlatnim teletom. Aronova pobuna bila je u temeljnoj povijesti drevnoga Izraela, a Jeroboamova u temeljnoj povijesti deset sjevernih plemena. „Redak na redak“ Aron, kao veliki svećenik, predstavlja crkvu, a Jeroboam, kao kralj, predstavlja državu. Te dvije temeljne pobune čine liniju koja uključuje temeljnu pobunu naroda Izraelova u želji za ljudskim kraljem.

There are three periods of four hundred and ninety years in the sacred history that is represented in the book of Ezekiel, and one was associated with the kings, the other with the sanctuary and the other with the host. Those three periods align with the rebellion of Aaron, (the sanctuary), Saul (the host) and Jeroboam (the king). Of the three symbols of prophet, priest and king, it is king Saul who is identified as prophesying, and Aaron was the priest, and Jeroboam was the king.
U svetoj povijesti, kako je prikazana u knjizi Ezekiela, postoje tri razdoblja od po četiri stotine i devedeset godina: jedno je bilo povezano s kraljevima, drugo sa Svetištem, a treće s vojskom. Ta se tri razdoblja podudaraju s pobunom Arona (Svetište), Šaula (vojska) i Jeroboama (kralj). Od triju simbola — proroka, svećenika i kralja — upravo je kralj Šaul označen kao onaj koji prorokuje, a Aron je bio svećenik, a Jeroboam kralj.
And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets? And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? 1 Samuel 10:11, 12.
I dogodi se, kad svi koji su ga otprije poznavali vidješe da, gle, prorokuje među prorocima, tada narod reče jedan drugomu: Što je to snašlo Kišova sina? Zar je i Šaul među prorocima? A jedan odande odgovori i reče: Ali tko je njihov otac? Zato to postade poslovica: Zar je i Šaul među prorocima? 1 Samuelova 10:11, 12.
The church triumphant consists of a thirty-year old prophet, a thirty-year old priest and a thirty-year old king, represented by Ezekiel who began in the thirtieth year, Joseph who began his service in the thirtieth year and king David who began to reign in his thirtieth year. The church triumphant is represented in the last eight chapters of the book of Ezekiel as the temple that fills the earth, and the church triumphant is Philadelphia, which is the eighth church that is of the seven.
Pobjedonosna crkva sastoji se od tridesetogodišnjega proroka, tridesetogodišnjega svećenika i tridesetogodišnjega kralja, prikazanih u Ezekielu koji je započeo u tridesetoj godini, Josipu koji je započeo svoju službu u tridesetoj godini i kralju Davidu koji je počeo kraljevati u svojoj tridesetoj godini. Pobjedonosna crkva prikazana je u posljednjih osam poglavlja knjige proroka Ezekiela kao hram koji ispunja zemlju, a pobjedonosna crkva jest Filadelfija, koja je osma crkva, a potječe od sedam.
The prophetic line of Josiah that began in 977 BC ends at the soon-coming Sunday law. The purification and sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand that began on December 31, 2023, began when Michael descended to resurrect the two witnesses of Revelation eleven. 2023 arrived twenty-two years after September 11, 2001, just as the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798 arrive twenty-two years after the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Jeroboam’s twenty-two-year reign began in 977 BC when the prophecy of Josiah was set forth. At that time the disobedient prophet of 1 Kings chapter thirteen, confronted Jeroboam’s apostasy just as Moses confronted Aaron’s apostasy, and Samuel confronted the host who desired a king. Those confrontations against foundational apostasies represented by the message of the disobedient prophet, Moses and Samuel represent the loud cry of the third angel at the Sunday law. It is the warning message proclaimed by the ensign, which is represented in the history of Jeroboam as the prediction of Josiah accompanied with a “sign.”
Proročka linija Jošije koja je započela 977. pr. Kr. završava uskoro dolazećim nedjeljnim zakonom. Očišćenje i pečaćenje sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, koje je započelo 31. prosinca 2023., započelo je kada je Mihael sišao uskrsnuti dva svjedoka iz jedanaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja. Godina 2023. došla je dvadeset i dvije godine nakon 11. rujna 2001., kao što i Zakoni o strancima i pobuni iz 1798. dolaze dvadeset i dvije godine nakon Deklaracije o neovisnosti iz 1776. Jeroboamova dvadeset i dvogodišnja vladavina započela je 977. pr. Kr., kada je izrečeno Jošijino proročanstvo. U to je vrijeme neposlušni prorok iz 1. Kraljevima, trinaestog poglavlja, suočio Jeroboamovo otpadništvo, kao što je Mojsije suočio Aronovo otpadništvo, a Samuel suočio mnoštvo koje je željelo kralja. Ta suočavanja s temeljnim otpadništvima, predstavljena porukom neposlušnog proroka, Mojsija i Samuela, predstavljaju glasni poklič trećega anđela pri nedjeljnom zakonu. To je poruka upozorenja koju objavljuje stijeg, a koja je u povijesti Jeroboama predstavljena Jošijinim proročanstvom, popraćenim „znakom“.
And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. And he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee. And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Lord hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out. And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.
I gle, dođe čovjek Božji iz Jude u Betel po riječi Gospodnjoj; a Jeroboam je stajao kraj žrtvenika da kadi. I povika protiv žrtvenika po riječi Gospodnjoj, i reče: O žrtveniče, žrtveniče, ovako govori Gospod: Evo, rodit će se dijete domu Davidovu, imenom Jošija; i na tebi će prinijeti svećenike uzvišica koji na tebi kade, i ljudske će se kosti spaljivati na tebi. I dade onoga dana znak govoreći: Ovo je znak koji je Gospod rekao: Evo, žrtvenik će se raspuknuti, i pepeo što je na njemu prosut će se. I dogodi se, kad je kralj Jeroboam čuo riječ čovjeka Božjega, koji je vikao protiv žrtvenika u Betelu, da je ispružio svoju ruku sa žrtvenika govoreći: Uhvatite ga. I ruka koju je ispružio protiv njega usahnu, tako da je nije mogao opet privući k sebi.
The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord. And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place: For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel. 1 Kings 13:1–10.
Žrtvenik se raspuknuo i pepeo se prosuo sa žrtvenika, prema znaku koji je čovjek Božji dao riječju Gospodnjom. Tada kralj progovori i reče čovjeku Božjemu: Umoli sada lice Gospoda, Boga svojega, i pomoli se za me da mi se ruka opet povrati. I čovjek Božji umoli Gospoda, te se kralju ruka opet povrati i postade kao prije. Potom kralj reče čovjeku Božjemu: Pođi sa mnom kući, okrijepi se, a ja ću ti dati dar. Ali čovjek Božji reče kralju: Kad bi mi dao i polovicu svoje kuće, ne bih pošao s tobom, niti bih jeo kruha ni pio vode na ovome mjestu. Jer tako mi je bilo zapovjeđeno riječju Gospodnjom: Ne jedi kruha, ne pij vode i ne vraćaj se putem kojim si došao. Tako on ode drugim putem i ne vrati se putem kojim je došao u Betel. 1. Kraljevima 13,1–10.
The prophet’s refusal to eat with Jeroboam in spite of the offer of “half thine house” aligns with Herod’s promise to Salome of half of his kingdom.
Prorokovo odbijanje da jede s Jeroboamom unatoč ponudi „polovine doma tvojega“ podudara se s Herodovim obećanjem Salomi o polovini svojega kraljevstva.
And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. Mark 6:21–24.
I kad je došao zgodan dan, kad Herod o svom rođendanu priredi gozbu svojim velikašima, tisućnicima i uglednicima Galileje; i kad uđe kći te Herodijade te zapleše i svidje se Herodu i onima koji su sjedili s njim, kralj reče djevojci: Zaišti od mene što god hoćeš, i dat ću ti. I zakle joj se: Što god zatražiš od mene, dat ću ti, do polovice svojega kraljevstva. A ona iziđe te reče svojoj majci: Što da zaištem? A ona reče: Glavu Ivana Krstitelja. Marko 6:21–24.
Herod’s pledge of half his kingdom took place at his birthday. Herod is a symbol of Rome, and the ten kings of Revelation seventeen are typified by the tenfold division of Rome in Daniel chapter seven, and the ten toes of chapter two. His birthday is marked when the sixth kingdom is replaced by the seventh kingdom at the Sunday law, and in this sense, it is the birthday of the United Nations as the seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy. At the soon-coming Sunday law, the ten kings, represented by Jeroboam’s ten northern tribes, agree to give their kingdom to the beast for one hour in Revelation ‘seventeen’.
Herodovo obećanje polovice svojega kraljevstva dogodilo se na njegov rođendan. Herod je simbol Rima, a deset kraljeva iz Otkrivenja sedamnaest predočeno je deseterostrukom podjelom Rima u sedmom poglavlju Daniela te deset nožnih prstiju u drugom poglavlju. Njegov rođendan obilježen je kada šesto kraljevstvo bude zamijenjeno sedmim kraljevstvom pri nedjeljnom zakonu, i u tom je smislu to rođendan Ujedinjenih naroda kao sedmoga kraljevstva biblijskog proročanstva. Pri uskoro dolazećem nedjeljnom zakonu deset kraljeva, predstavljenih Jeroboamovih deset sjevernih plemena, slažu se dati svoje kraljevstvo zvijeri za jedan sat u Otkrivenju „sedamnaest“.
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. Revelation 17:17.
Jer im je Bog stavio u srce da izvrše njegovu volju, da budu složni i predaju svoje kraljevstvo Zvijeri, dok se ne ispune riječi Božje. Otkrivenje 17,17.
Before we take up Ezekiel’s prophecy of chapter four, we will identify the ‘thirteen’ times Ezekiel directly identifies a date. Those thirteen waymarks break down generally between the world and God’s people. The world represented by Egypt is placed into a direct date six times, and Tyre is addressed once, and the other six times Jerusalem is the subject. The book begins in 592 BC which is the thirtieth year of the seventeenth Jubilee cycle and verse one of chapter forty of Ezekiel identifies October 22, 573 BC as the end of the cycle. The Jubilee cycle represents the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand from 9/11 unto the soon-coming Sunday law, which in turn is represented in a fractal of that very history from December 31, 2023 unto the soon-coming Sunday law. Both periods were typified by August 11, 1840 unto October 22, 1844.
Prije nego što se pozabavimo Ezekielovim proročanstvom iz četvrtoga poglavlja, utvrdit ćemo trinaest puta kada Ezekiel izravno navodi datum. Tih se trinaest putokaza općenito dijele između svijeta i Božjega naroda. Svijet, predstavljen Egiptom, smješten je u izravan datum šest puta, Tir se oslovljava jedanput, a drugih je šest puta Jeruzalem predmet. Knjiga započinje 592. pr. Kr., što je trideseta godina sedamnaestoga jubilejskog ciklusa, a prvi redak četrdesetoga poglavlja Ezekiela označuje 22. listopada 573. pr. Kr. kao kraj toga ciklusa. Jubilejski ciklus predstavlja vrijeme pečaćenja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće od 11. rujna do uskoro dolazećega zakona o nedjelji, što je zauzvrat prikazano u fraktalu te iste povijesti od 31. prosinca 2023. do uskoro dolazećega zakona o nedjelji. Oba su razdoblja bila predočena razdobljem od 11. kolovoza 1840. do 22. listopada 1844.
On August 11, 1840 no less a personage than Jesus Christ descended as the mighty angel of Revelation ten who brought a little book that God’s people were to take and eat. The same angel again descended at 9/11 to mark the beginning of the sealing time. The same angel descended on December 31, 2023 to resurrect the two witnesses who had been slain in the street of that great city of Sodom and Egypt, where also the Lord was crucified. That descent marked the closing period of the sealing time. Within the fractal period of December 31, 2023 unto the Sunday law, Ezekiel the priest is given a vision of the temple in heaven. At that time, he is made dumb and only speaks when God commands him to do so. His condition lasts until the soon-coming Sunday law, represented by the destruction of Jerusalem.
Dana 11. kolovoza 1840. ni manje ni više nego Isus Krist sišao je kao moćni anđeo iz Otkrivenja 10, koji je donio knjižicu što ju je Božji narod trebao uzeti i pojesti. Taj isti anđeo ponovno je sišao na 9/11 da označi početak vremena pečaćenja. Taj isti anđeo sišao je 31. prosinca 2023. da uskrsne dva svjedoka koji bijahu ubijeni na ulici onoga velikog grada, Sodome i Egipta, gdje je i Gospodin bio razapet. Taj silazak označio je završno razdoblje vremena pečaćenja. Unutar fraktalnog razdoblja od 31. prosinca 2023. do nedjeljnog zakona, svećeniku Ezekielu dano je viđenje hrama na nebu. U to vrijeme on postaje nijem i govori samo kada mu Bog zapovjedi da to čini. Njegovo stanje traje do uskoro dolazećega nedjeljnog zakona, prikazanog razorenjem Jeruzalema.
As with John, Ezekiel is commanded to take the book that was in the descending angel’s hand in Revelation ten, and also told to eat the book of lamentation, mourning and woe.
Kao i Ivanu, Ezekielu je zapovjeđeno da uzme knjigu koja bijaše u ruci silazećega anđela u desetom poglavlju Otkrivenja, a također mu je rečeno da pojede knjigu naricaljke, žalosti i jaoja.
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. Ezekiel 2:8–10.
A ti, sine čovječji, čuj što ti govorim: ne budi buntovan kao taj buntovni dom; otvori usta svoja i jedi što ti dajem. I kad pogledah, gle, ruka bijaše pružena k meni; i evo, u njoj bijaše svitak knjige. I razvi ga preda mnom; i bijaše ispisan iznutra i izvana; i na njemu bijahu napisani tužaljke, naricanje i jao. Ezekiel 2:8–10.
The message is represented as a threefold message, thus typifying the message of the three angels of Revelation fourteen. It is therefore the sealing message of the third angel that seals those within Jerusalem who are lamenting and mourning the sin of the church and the land as represented in chapter nine of Ezekiel and chapter seven of Revelation.
Poruka je prikazana kao trostruka poruka, te tako predočava poruku triju anđela iz četrnaestoga poglavlja Otkrivenja. Stoga je poruka pečaćenja trećega anđela ona koja pečati one unutar Jeruzalema koji uzdišu i tuguju zbog grijeha crkve i zemlje, kako je prikazano u devetome poglavlju Ezekiela i sedmome poglavlju Otkrivenja.
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side; And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. Ezekiel 9:3, 4.
I slava Boga Izraelova podiže se s keruba, na kojem bijaše, do praga Doma. I pozva čovjeka odjevena u lan, koji je uz bok imao pisarsku tintarnicu; i Gospod mu reče: Prođi posred grada, posred Jeruzalema, i stavi znak na čela ljudi koji uzdišu i plaču zbog svih gadosti što se čine usred njega. Ezekiel 9:3, 4.
Those who receive the seal are mourning for the sins of the church and the sins of the land, and Ezekiel’s testimony is woven upon the history of Jerusalem and Egypt, symbols of the church and the world.
Oni koji prime pečat tuguju zbog grijeha crkve i grijeha zemlje, a Ezekielovo je svjedočanstvo utkano u povijest Jeruzalema i Egipta, simbola crkve i svijeta.
“The leaven of godliness has not entirely lost its power. At the time when the danger and depression of the church are greatest, the little company who are standing in the light will be sighing and crying for the abominations that are done in the land. But more especially will their prayers arise in behalf of the church because its members are doing after the manner of the world. …
“Kvasac pobožnosti nije posve izgubio svoju snagu. U vrijeme kada su opasnost i potištenost crkve najveće, mala skupina koja stoji u svjetlu uzdisat će i vikati zbog gadosti koje se čine u zemlji. No osobito će se njihove molitve uzdizati za crkvu, jer njezini članovi postupaju na način svijeta. …”
“The command is: ‘Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.’ These sighing, crying ones had been holding forth the words of life; they had reproved, counseled, and entreated. Some who had been dishonoring God repented and humbled their hearts before Him. But the glory of the Lord had departed from Israel; although many still continued the forms of religion, His power and presence were lacking.” Testimonies, volume 5, 209, 210.
„Zapovijed glasi: ‘Prođi posred grada, posred Jeruzalema, i stavi znak na čela ljudi koji uzdišu i plaču zbog svih gadosti što se čine posred njega.’ Ti koji uzdišu i plaču iznosili su riječi života; ukoravali su, savjetovali i usrdno opominjali. Neki koji su obeščašćivali Boga pokajali su se i ponizili svoja srca pred Njim. Ali slava Gospodnja bijaše odstupila od Izraela; premda su mnogi i dalje nastavili s oblicima religije, nedostajale su Njegova sila i Njegova prisutnost.” Testimonies, svezak 5, 209, 210.
In the context of the book of lamentations, mourning and woe typifying the three angels of Revelation fourteen, the lamentations and mourning are the first and second angels, and the third is the message of woe, a symbol of the east wind that is held in check by the four restraining angels of Revelation seven.
U kontekstu Knjige tužaljki, tugovanje i jauk, koji su praslika trojice anđela iz četrnaestoga poglavlja Otkrivenja, pri čemu su tužaljke i tugovanje prvi i drugi anđeo, a treći je poruka jao, simbol istočnoga vjetra kojega drže pod kontrolom četiri anđela zadržavanja iz sedmoga poglavlja Otkrivenja.
Egypt
Egipat
In the book of Ezekiel, there are thirteen dates referenced. The first of the Egypt set of dates is Ezekiel 29:1, and it represented 587 BC.
U knjizi Ezekiela navodi se trinaest datuma. Prvi od datuma iz niza o Egiptu jest Ezekiel 29,1, i predstavljao je 587. pr. Kr.
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt: Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself. Ezekiel 29:1–3.
Desete godine, desetoga mjeseca, dvanaestoga dana u mjesecu, dođe mi riječ Gospodnja govoreći: Sine čovječji, okreni lice svoje protiv faraona, kralja egipatskoga, i prorokuj protiv njega i protiv svega Egipta. Govori i reci: Ovako govori Gospod Jahve: Evo, ja sam protiv tebe, faraone, kralju egipatski, veliki zmaju što leži usred svojih rijeka, koji govori: Moja je rijeka moja, i ja sam je sebi načinio. Ezekiel 29,1–3.
587 BC is the year of the siege, which began one and a half years before the destruction of Jerusalem. At that time Ezekiel proclaims that God would overthrow Egypt, and that the overthrow would demonstrate to God’s people their foolishness for trusting in the dragon of Egypt. By the end of the chapter a pronouncement is made that Egypt would be given to Babylon, thus identifying when the ten kings give their seventh kingdom of Bible prophecy to modern Babylon—the eighth kingdom that is of the seven. That prophecy was fulfilled ‘seventeen’ years later in 571 BC as set forth at the end of the chapter. Chapter 29 therefore contains the first and the last reference of dating associated with Egypt.
587. pr. Kr. jest godina opsade, koja je započela godinu i pol prije razorenja Jeruzalema. U to vrijeme Ezekiel objavljuje da će Bog oboriti Egipat te da će to obaranje Božjem narodu pokazati njihovu ludost što su se uzdali u egipatskog zmaja. Do kraja poglavlja izriče se objava da će Egipat biti predan Babilonu, čime se utvrđuje kada deset kraljeva predaje svoje sedmo kraljevstvo iz biblijskog proročanstva suvremenom Babilonu — osmom kraljevstvu koje je od sedam. To se proročanstvo ispunilo ‘sedamnaest’ godina poslije, 571. pr. Kr., kako je izloženo na kraju poglavlja. Stoga 29. poglavlje sadrži prvo i posljednje vremensko određenje povezano s Egiptom.
And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it: Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army. I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord God. In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel 29:17–21.
I dogodi se dvadeset i sedme godine, prvoga mjeseca, prvoga dana u mjesecu, da mi dođe riječ Gospodnja govoreći: Sine čovječji, Nabukodrezar, kralj babilonski, prisili svoju vojsku na veliku službu protiv Tira: svaka je glava oćelavila i svako je rame bilo odrano; ali ni on ni njegova vojska ne primiše plaće za Tir, za službu kojom su služili protiv njega. Stoga ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Evo, dat ću zemlju egipatsku Nabukodrezaru, kralju babilonskomu; i on će uzeti njezino mnoštvo, i uzeti njezin plijen, i uzeti njezin grabež; i to će biti plaća njegovoj vojsci. Dao sam mu zemlju egipatsku za njegov trud kojim je služio protiv njega, jer su radili za mene, govori Gospodin Bog. U onaj dan učinit ću da iznikne rog domu Izraelovu, i dat ću ti otvaranje usta usred njih; i spoznat će da sam ja Gospodin. Ezekiel 29:17–21.
The twentieth year in the first month in the first day of verse seventeen represents the last date of the thirteen dates in Ezekiel, and it is the only date that falls after October 22, 573 BC. It represents when the king of the north in Daniel eleven verses forty-two and forty-three is given Egypt, as well as the point when the ten kings give their seventh kingdom to the eighth kingdom that is of the seven. It is fulfilled when the “horn of the house of Israel” buds forth. In Isaiah Israel buds in the day of the east wind.
Dvadeseta godina, prvoga mjeseca, prvoga dana iz sedamnaestoga retka predstavlja posljednji datum od trinaest datuma u Ezekielu, i to je jedini datum koji pada nakon 22. listopada 573. pr. Kr. On predstavlja vrijeme kada kralj sjevera u Danielu 11,42-43 dobiva Egipat, kao i trenutak kada deset kraljeva predaju svoje sedmo kraljevstvo osmom kraljevstvu koje je od sedam. To se ispunjava kada proklija „rog doma Izraelova“. U Izaiji Izrael proklija u dan istočnoga vjetra.
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. Isaiah 27:8.
Učinit će da se oni koji potječu od Jakova ukorijene: Izrael će procvasti i pupati te lice svijeta ispuniti plodom. Izaija 27:8.
When Ezekiel 29:17 is fulfilled, and the dragon of Egypt is given to the papal beast at the soon-coming Sunday law the latter rain will be poured out without measure upon Israel. That rain began on 9/11 as a sprinkling as typified by Christ breathing upon His disciples after He descended to earth after He had ascended to His Father following His resurrection.
Kada se ispuni Ezekiel 29,17, i zmaj Egipta bude predan papinskoj zvijeri pri uskoro nadolazećem nedjeljnom zakonu, tada će kasna kiša biti izlivena bez mjere na Izraela. Ta je kiša započela 11. rujna kao škropljenje, kako je predočeno time što je Krist dahnuo na svoje učenike nakon što je sišao na zemlju pošto je uzašao k svome Ocu nakon svoga uskrsnuća.
“The act of Christ in breathing upon his disciples the Holy Ghost, and in imparting his peace to them, was as a few drops before the plentiful shower to be given on the day of Pentecost.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 3, 243.
„Čin Kristov, kada je dahnuo na svoje učenike Duha Svetoga i udijelio im svoj mir, bijaše poput nekoliko kapi pred obilnim izljevom koji je trebao biti dan na dan Pedesetnice.“ Spirit of Prophecy, sv. 3, 243.
Ezekiel’s prediction of the fall of Egypt was proclaimed in 587 BC, the year of the siege, and ‘seventeen’ years later the prediction was fulfilled. It is fulfilled in the period represented by the number ‘seventeen,’ thus representing the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel eleven. It is to be fulfilled during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand which is portrayed in chapter nine of Ezekiel. In the sealing time the latter rain is poured out, first as a sprinkling at 9/11 and then a full outpouring at the Sunday law. It is fulfilled according to Isaiah in the “day of the east wind,” and Islam is the east wind, and Islam is the third “woe.” The message Ezekiel was to eat was a threefold message, of which the third part was the message of woe.
Ezekielovo proročanstvo o padu Egipta objavljeno je 587. pr. Kr., godine opsade, a ‘sedamnaest’ godina poslije proročanstvo se ispunilo. Ono se ispunjava u razdoblju koje predstavlja broj ‘sedamnaest’, predstavljajući tako skrivenu povijest četrdesetoga retka jedanaestoga poglavlja Daniela. Ono se treba ispuniti tijekom vremena pečaćenja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, koje je prikazano u devetome poglavlju Ezekiela. U vremenu pečaćenja izlijeva se kasna kiša, najprije kao škropljenje na 11. rujna, a zatim kao puno izlijevanje pri nedjeljnom zakonu. Ispunjava se, prema Izaiji, u “dan istočnoga vjetra”, a islam je istočni vjetar, i islam je treće “jao”. Poruka koju je Ezekiel trebao pojesti bila je trostruka poruka, od koje je treći dio bio poruka jao.
Ezekiel’s thirteen dated messages were set forth in connection with Jerusalem, Egypt and Tyre. They were all addressing rebellion as represented by the number "thirteen."
Ezekielovih trinaest datiranih poruka izneseno je u vezi s Jeruzalemom, Egiptom i Tirom. Sve su se odnosile na pobunu, predstavljenu brojem „trinaest”.
We will continue to consider the dating of Ezekiel in the next article.
U sljedećem ćemo članku nastaviti razmatrati datiranje Ezekiela.
