The Lion of the tribe of Judah is a name for Jesus, which emphasizes Christ’s work in sealing and then unsealing His prophetic Word. In chapter five of Revelation the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who is also the root of David prevailed to open the book. The “root” of David was Jessie, and the root of Jessie was Pharez, and his root was Judah, and his root was Jacob, and his root was Isaac, and his root was Abraham. The root of David or Jessie when mentioned in connection with the Lion of the tribe of Judah is emphasizing the principles of beginning and ending, which is Alpha and Omega. When the Revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed in chapter one of Revelation the primary attribute of His character is that He is Alpha and Omega. Who He is, is also the principle that is employed to unseal the prophecies which the Lion of the tribe of Judah has sealed, when He determines that it is time.

Lav iz plemena Judina ime je za Isusa koje naglašava Kristovo djelo u zapečaćivanju, a zatim i otpečaćivanju Njegove proročke Riječi. U petom poglavlju Otkrivenja Lav iz plemena Judina, koji je ujedno i korijen Davidov, pobijedio je da otvori knjigu. „Korijen“ Davidov bio je Jišaj, a korijen Jišajev bio je Peres, a njegov je korijen bio Juda, a njegov je korijen bio Jakov, a njegov je korijen bio Izak, a njegov je korijen bio Abraham. Korijen Davidov ili Jišajev, kada se spominje u vezi s Lavom iz plemena Judina, naglašava načela početka i svršetka, što je Alfa i Omega. Kada se Otkrivenje Isusa Krista otpečati u prvom poglavlju Otkrivenja, prvotno obilježje Njegova karaktera jest da je On Alfa i Omega. Ono što On jest također je načelo koje se primjenjuje pri otpečaćivanju proročanstava koja je Lav iz plemena Judina zapečatio, kada On odredi da je došlo vrijeme.

The unsealing of God’s prophetic Word is an element of God’s work of redemption as He employs the power of His Word to produce revival’s according to His will. Sister White says that when the books of Daniel and Revelation are better understood there will be seen among us a great revival. It is the light of God’s prophetic Word that produces revival and reformation according to His will.

Otpečaćivanje Božje proročke Riječi sastavni je dio Božjega djela otkupljenja, dok On primjenjuje silu svoje Riječi kako bi proizveo probuđenja u skladu sa svojom voljom. Sestra White kaže da će se, kada se knjige Daniela i Otkrivenja budu bolje razumjele, među nama vidjeti veliko probuđenje. Svjetlo Božje proročke Riječi ono je koje proizvodi probuđenje i reformu u skladu s Njegovom voljom.

Sister White looking at the last days refers to a great reformation that takes place among God’s people in the latter days. The revival and reformations of sacred history were all produced from God’s Word, and each of those sacred periods pointed to the last great revival and reformation that begins shortly before the Sunday law. Those revivals are produced by an unsealing of God’s Word. The seven thunders were sealed up, just as was the book of Daniel in chapter twelve.

Sestra White, promatrajući posljednje dane, upućuje na veliku reformaciju koja se zbiva među Božjim narodom u posljednjim danima. Probuđenja i reformacije svete povijesti sva su proizišla iz Božje Riječi, a svako od tih svetih razdoblja upućivalo je na posljednje veliko probuđenje i reformaciju koji započinju neposredno prije zakona o nedjelji. Ta su probuđenja plod otpečaćenja Božje Riječi. Sedam gromova bilo je zapečaćeno, kao što je bila zapečaćena i Danielova knjiga u dvanaestom poglavlju.

When we apply the prophetic characteristics of a period of scattering that are associated with the symbol of 1260, we find that in Revelation eleven, Moses and Elijah are dead in the street for three and a half days. By verse eighteen the time of God’s wrath has arrived. Moses and Elijah represent God’s people just before the close of human probation. They are scattered for 1260 symbolic days in the streets of Sodom and Egypt, where Jesus was crucified.

Kada primijenimo proročka obilježja razdoblja rasijanja koja su povezana sa simbolom 1260, nalazimo da su u jedanaestom poglavlju Otkrivenja Mojsije i Ilija mrtvi na ulici tri i pol dana. Do osamnaestog retka stiglo je vrijeme Božjega gnjeva. Mojsije i Ilija predstavljaju Božji narod neposredno prije završetka vremena ljudske kušnje. Oni su rasijani 1260 simboličnih dana po ulicama Sodome i Egipta, gdje je Isus bio razapet.

Moses and Elijah were empowered to give their testimony from verse three on to verse seven where they are slain in the street. John finished measuring the temple in verse two, then Moses and Elijah are empowered to give their testimony, clothed in sackcloth. The message of Elijah and Moses were given to Philadelphian Millerite Adventism in 1844, and by 1863, their voices were buried under the customs and traditions that are handed down from generation to generation. They were empowered to give their testimony for three and a half years, clothed in “sackcloth,” a symbol of the escalating darkness from 1863 onward.

Mojsije i Ilija bili su osnaženi da daju svoje svjedočanstvo od trećega retka pa do sedmoga retka, gdje bivaju ubijeni na ulici. Ivan je završio mjerenje hrama u drugome retku, a zatim su Mojsije i Ilija osnaženi da daju svoje svjedočanstvo, odjeveni u kostrijet. Poruka Ilije i Mojsija dana je filadelfijskom mileritskom adventizmu 1844. godine, a do 1863. njihovi su glasovi bili pokopani pod običajima i predajama koje se prenose iz naraštaja u naraštaj. Bili su osnaženi da daju svoje svjedočanstvo tri i pol godine, odjeveni u „kostrijet”, simbol sve veće tame od 1863. nadalje.

When we apply Sister White’s definition of the seven thunders as representing the events of the first and second angels, in a line upon line fashion, we construct a history that begins with an angel descending with a message, but line upon line, the angel is both the first and second angel. One placed his foot upon the land and one foot upon the sea on August 11, 1840, and the other arrived at the disappointment of April 19, 1844.

Kada primijenimo definiciju sestre White o sedam gromova kao predstavljanju događaja prvoga i drugoga anđela, na način „red na red”, oblikujemo povijest koja započinje anđelom koji silazi s porukom, ali red na red, taj anđeo jest i prvi i drugi anđeo. Jedan je postavio svoju nogu na kopno, a jednu nogu na more 11. kolovoza 1840., a drugi je došao do razočaranja 19. travnja 1844.

The next waymark in each parallel history is God’s hand, which is associated with Habakkuk’s tables. With the first angel, the 1843 chart was produced, but there was a mistake in some of the figures. With the second angel, God’s hand is a waymark of Habakkuk’s tables; represented when He removed His hand from the mistake. When he removed His hand, the message progressively developed until its climax at the Exeter camp meeting, just before the disappointment of October 22, 1844.

Sljedeći putokaz u svakoj usporednoj povijesti jest Božja ruka, koja je povezana s Habakukovim pločama. S prvim anđelom izrađena je karta iz 1843., ali u nekim je brojkama postojala pogreška. S drugim anđelom, Božja ruka je putokaz Habakukovih ploča; prikazana kada je On povukao svoju ruku od pogreške. Kada je povukao svoju ruku, poruka se postupno razvijala sve do svojega vrhunca na tabor-sastanku u Exeteru, neposredno prije razočaranja 22. listopada 1844.

The two lines identify a worldwide message, for the angel who arrives places one foot on the land and one foot on the sea, and inspiration informs us this represents a worldwide message. The angel also identifies the beginning of the tarrying time in the parable of the ten virgins. At this first waymark we also see God’s hand producing a lie. On April 19, 1844, prophetically it appeared as if the vision had lied, but those who had patience, waited, and though the vision tarried, it did not lie. But when the line we are building begins, the lie of the first disappointment is marked as an attribute of the first waymark.

Dvije crte prepoznaju poruku svjetskih razmjera, jer anđeo koji dolazi stavlja jednu nogu na kopno, a jednu nogu na more, a nadahnuće nam kaže da to predstavlja poruku za cijeli svijet. Anđeo također označava početak vremena odgode u prispodobi o deset djevica. Na tom prvom putokazu također vidimo Božju ruku kako proizvodi laž. Dana 19. travnja 1844., proročki je izgledalo kao da je viđenje slagalo, ali oni koji su imali strpljenja čekali su, i premda je viđenje kasnilo, nije slagalo. No kada započne crta koju gradimo, laž prvoga razočaranja označena je kao obilježje prvoga putokaza.

Then the waymark of God’s hand and Habakkuk’s tables shows God covering a mistake and then removing His hand from the mistake. In Millerite history, the mistake was allowed by God in May of 1842, when the chart was printed, and the mistake was thereafter manifested when the year 1843 ended, but it was some time after, that the Lord removed His hand from the mistake in the figures. The mistake was from May of 1842 until somewhere after the first disappointment. For the first angel, God’s hand and Habakkuk’s tables is marked in May of 1842, but the removal of His hand in the history of the second angel would be shortly after the first disappointment.

Tada znamen Božje ruke i Habakukove ploče pokazuje kako Bog pokriva jednu pogrešku, a zatim uklanja svoju ruku s te pogreške. U mileritskoj povijesti ta je pogreška bila dopuštena od Boga u svibnju 1842., kada je karta bila tiskana, a potom se očitovala kada je završila godina 1843.; no tek neko vrijeme poslije Gospodin je uklonio svoju ruku s pogreške u brojkama. Pogreška je trajala od svibnja 1842. pa do nekud nakon prvoga razočaranja. Za prvoga anđela, Božja ruka i Habakukove ploče označene su u svibnju 1842., ali uklanjanje njegove ruke u povijesti drugoga anđela bilo bi ubrzo nakon prvoga razočaranja.

This identifies the waymark of the “hand” as a prophetic period. A period that begins with His hand covering a mistake, and then ending with His hand being removed from the mistake. This period of His hand covering and uncovering is an illustration of the work of the Lion of the tribe of Judah as He seals and then unseals prophetic light. He covered truth, then revealed the very same truth—in a different light that did not contradict the original light. He did it in order to produce the revival and reformation of the Millerite Midnight Cry.

To označava putokaz „ruke” kao proročko razdoblje. Razdoblje koje započinje time što Njegova ruka pokriva jednu pogrešku, a potom završava time što se Njegova ruka uklanja s te pogreške. To razdoblje pokrivanja i otkrivanja Njegovom rukom prikaz je djela Lava iz plemena Judina dok zapečaćuje, a zatim otpečaćuje proročku svjetlost. On je pokrio istinu, a zatim otkrio tu istu istinu — u drukčijem svjetlu koje nije proturječilo izvornoj svjetlosti. To je učinio kako bi proizveo probuđenje i reformaciju mileritskoga Ponoćnog pokliča.

The tarrying time, which began with the arrival of the angel ended when His hand was removed, thus unsealing prophetic light which began the “seventh-month movement” that led to the Midnight Cry message at the Exeter camp meeting, where the message turned into a tidal wave, until the closed door at the great disappointment. The manifestation of God’s power through the unsealing of His Word produced an escalating revival and reformation.

Vrijeme čekanja, koje je započelo dolaskom anđela, završilo je kada je Njegova ruka bila uklonjena, čime je bila skinuta pečat s proročke svjetlosti koja je započela „pokret sedmoga mjeseca”, a koji je doveo do poruke Ponoćnog poklika na taboru u Exeteru, gdje se poruka pretvorila u plimni val, sve do zatvorenih vrata pri velikom razočaranju. Očitovanje Božje sile kroz otpečaćenje Njegove Riječi proizvelo je sve snažnije probuđenje i reformu.

In 1863, the Laodicean Millerite movement was forbidden to cross over the Jordan, and were assigned to the wilderness for stoning Elijah and Moses. The message of William Miller was the message of Elijah, and Miller’s foundational message was Moses’ “seven times.” To reject the “seven times” was to slay Moses, and to reject the foundational truth set forth by Miller, was to slay Elijah. In 1863 the messenger and the message were murdered in the street, and from that point on, the only way to find them was to search for their graves in Jeremiah’s old paths. They were dead in the street—that is until they are resurrected. They are resurrected when the “seven thunders’ future events” that will be “disclosed in their order” are repeated—in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Godine 1863. laodicejskom mileritskom pokretu bilo je zabranjeno prijeći preko Jordana te im je bila određena pustinja zbog kamenovanja Ilije i Mojsija. Poruka Williama Millera bila je poruka Ilije, a Millerova temeljna poruka bila su Mojsijeva „sedam vremena“. Odbaciti „sedam vremena“ značilo je ubiti Mojsija, a odbaciti temeljnu istinu koju je iznio Miller značilo je ubiti Iliju. Godine 1863. glasnik i poruka bili su ubijeni na ulici, i od toga trenutka jedini način da ih se pronađe bio je tražiti njihove grobove na starim stazama Jeremijinim. Bili su mrtvi na ulici — to jest, sve dok ne budu uskrišeni. Oni uskrsavaju kada se „budući događaji sedam gromova“ koji će biti „otkriveni svojim redom“ ponove — u povijesti sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće.

When the history of the first angel is laid over the top of the history of the second angel, the prophetic structure produces a point of reference to follow Christ’s hand, which is the light upon the path of the Midnight Cry. The original light of the Midnight Cry lightens the path and it is the light of His “glorious right arm” that leads the way up the path.

Kada se povijest prvoga anđela položi preko povijesti drugoga anđela, proročanska struktura daje referentnu točku za praćenje Kristove ruke, koja je svjetlo na stazi Ponoćnoga pokliča. Izvorna svjetlost Ponoćnoga pokliča obasjava stazu, i upravo svjetlost Njegove „slavne desne ruke” vodi put uz stazu.

“I seemed to be surrounded with light, and to be rising higher and higher from the earth. I turned to look for the advent people in the world, but could not find them, when a voice said to me, ‘Look again, and look a little higher.’ At this, I raised my eyes, and saw a straight and narrow path, cast up high above the world. On this path the advent people were traveling to the city which was at the farther end of the path. They had a bright light set up behind them at the beginning of the path, which an angel told me was the ‘midnight cry.’ This light shone all along the path, and gave light for their feet, so that they might not stumble.

Činilo mi se da sam okružena svjetlošću i da se uzdižem sve više i više od zemlje. Okrenula sam se da potražim adventni narod u svijetu, ali ga nisam mogla pronaći, kada mi je glas rekao: „Pogledaj ponovno, i pogledaj malo više.” Nato sam podigla oči i ugledala ravnu i usku stazu, uzdignutu visoko iznad svijeta. Tom su stazom adventni vjernici putovali prema gradu koji se nalazio na njezinu daljem kraju. Iza njih, na početku staze, bilo je postavljeno sjajno svjetlo, za koje mi je anđeo rekao da je „ponoćni poklič”. To je svjetlo obasjavalo cijelu stazu i osvjetljavalo njihovim nogama da ne bi posrnuli.

“If they kept their eyes fixed on Jesus, who was just before them, leading them to the city, they were safe. But soon some grew weary, and said the city was a great way off, and they expected to have entered it before. Then Jesus would encourage them by raising His glorious right arm, and from His arm came a light which waved over the advent band, and they shouted ‘Alleluia!’ Others rashly denied the light behind them, and said that it was not God that had led them out so far. The light behind them went out, leaving their feet in perfect darkness, and they stumbled and lost sight of the mark and of Jesus, and fell off the path down into the dark and wicked world below.” Christian Experience and Teachings of Ellen G. White, 57.

„Ako su držali svoje oči uprte u Isusa, koji je bio upravo pred njima i vodio ih prema gradu, bili su sigurni. No ubrzo su neki klonuli i rekli da je grad još veoma daleko te da su očekivali da će već prije ući u njega. Tada bi ih Isus ohrabrio podižući svoju slavnu desnicu, a iz Njegove je ruke izlazila svjetlost koja se valovito širila nad adventnim zborom, i oni su uzvikivali: ‘Aleluja!’ Drugi su lakomisleno zanijekali svjetlost iza sebe i rekli da nije Bog bio taj koji ih je doveo tako daleko. Svjetlost iza njih ugasila se, ostavivši njihove noge u potpunoj tami, i oni su posrnuli, izgubili iz vida cilj i Isusa te pali sa staze dolje u mračni i opaki svijet ispod.“ Christian Experience and Teachings of Ellen G. White, 57.

When Christ raises His glorious arm, He is using His “hand” as a symbol of His work of leading His people. When we bring together the arrival of the second angel with the first angel who descended on August 11, 1840, we find both angels had a message in their hands.

Kada Krist podigne svoju slavnu mišicu, On svoju „ruku” koristi kao simbol svojega djela vođenja svojega naroda. Kada povežemo dolazak drugoga anđela s prvim anđelom koji je sišao 11. kolovoza 1840., uviđamo da su oba anđela u svojim rukama imala poruku.

“I was shown the interest which all heaven had taken in the work going on upon the earth. Jesus commissioned a mighty angel to descend and warn the inhabitants of the earth to prepare for His second appearing. As the angel left the presence of Jesus in heaven, an exceedingly bright and glorious light went before him. I was told that his mission was to lighten the earth with his glory and warn man of the coming wrath of God. …

„Pokazano mi je zanimanje koje je cijelo nebo imalo za djelo koje se odvijalo na zemlji. Isus je opunomoćio moćnog anđela da siđe i upozori stanovnike zemlje da se priprave za Njegov drugi dolazak. Kad je anđeo napustio Isusovu prisutnost na nebu, pred njim je išla izvanredno sjajna i slavna svjetlost. Rečeno mi je da je njegova misija bila obasjati zemlju svojom slavom i upozoriti čovjeka na nadolazeći gnjev Božji. …”

“Another mighty angel was commissioned to descend to earth. Jesus placed in his hand a writing, and as he came to the earth, he cried, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen.’ Then I saw the disappointed ones again raise their eyes to heaven, looking with faith and hope for their Lord’s appearing. But many seemed to remain in a stupid state, as if asleep; yet I could see the trace of deep sorrow upon their countenances. The disappointed ones saw from the Scriptures that they were in the tarrying time, and that they must patiently wait the fulfillment of the vision. The same evidence which led them to look for their Lord in 1843, led them to expect Him in 1844. Yet I saw that the majority did not possess that energy which marked their faith in 1843. Their disappointment had dampened their faith.” Early Writings, 246, 247.

„Drugomu silnom anđelu bilo je povjereno da siđe na zemlju. Isus mu je stavio u ruku jedan spis, i kad je došao na zemlju, povikao je: ‘Pade, pade Babilon.’ Tada sam ponovno vidjela razočarane kako podižu svoje oči prema nebu, gledajući s vjerom i nadom prema pojavku svojega Gospodina. No činilo se da mnogi ostaju u nekom obamrlom stanju, kao da spavaju; ipak sam na njihovim licima mogla vidjeti trag duboke žalosti. Razočarani su iz Svetoga pisma vidjeli da se nalaze u vremenu odgode i da moraju strpljivo čekati ispunjenje viđenja. Isti dokaz koji ih je naveo da očekuju svojega Gospodina 1843. godine, naveo ih je da ga očekuju 1844. godine. Ipak sam vidjela da većina nije posjedovala onu snagu koja je obilježavala njihovu vjeru 1843. godine. Njihovo je razočaranje oslabilo njihovu vjeru.” Early Writings, 246, 247.

Both angels are one of three angels that together are one symbol, so they align in terms of the message they represent, though they each represent their own unique message. Both angels have a “writing” in their hands, representing a test. The “first and second angels are to run parallel” to the third angel.

Oba su anđela jedan od triju anđela koji zajedno čine jedan simbol, stoga su usklađeni s obzirom na poruku koju predstavljaju, premda svaki od njih predstavlja svoju vlastitu jedinstvenu poruku. Oba anđela imaju „spis” u svojim rukama, što predstavlja kušnju. „Prvi i drugi anđeo trebaju teći usporedno” s trećim anđelom.

“God has given the messages of Revelation 14 their place in the line of prophecy, and their work is not to cease till the close of this earth’s history. The first and second angel’s messages are still truth for this time, and are to run parallel with this which follows. The third angel proclaims his warning with a loud voice. ‘After these things,’ said John, ‘I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his glory.’ In this illumination, the light of all the three messages is combined.” The 1888 Materials, 803, 804.

„Bog je porukama iz Otkrivenja 14 dao njihovo mjesto u nizu proročanstva, i njihovo djelo ne smije prestati sve do završetka povijesti ove zemlje. Poruke prvoga i drugoga anđela još su uvijek istina za ovo vrijeme i trebaju teći usporedno s ovom koja slijedi. Treći anđeo objavljuje svoje upozorenje jakim glasom. ‘Nakon toga,’ rekao je Ivan, ‘vidio sam drugoga anđela gdje silazi s neba, koji ima veliku vlast, i zemlja se prosvijetlila od njegove slave.’ U tom prosvjetljenju sjedinjena je svjetlost svih triju poruka.” The 1888 Materials, 803, 804.

Sister White identifies the third angel, as the angel of Revelation eighteen, and identifies that the first and second angels are to run parallel with the prophetic history represented by the third angel of Revelation eighteen. Thus, she is aligning the descent of the first angel on August 11, 1840, with 9/11, and identifying that the angel of Revelation eighteen is “the third angel.” The third angel is the last of the three, and is typified by the first, and for this reason Sister White informs us the mission of the first angel was identical to the mission of the angel of Revelation eighteen, for the mission of both angels was to “lighten the earth with its glory.”

Sestra White poistovjećuje trećega anđela s anđelom iz osamnaestoga poglavlja Otkrivenja te utvrđuje da prvi i drugi anđeo trebaju teći usporedno s proročkom poviješću koju predstavlja treći anđeo iz Otkrivenja osamnaest. Stoga ona usklađuje silazak prvoga anđela 11. kolovoza 1840. s 11. rujna te utvrđuje da je anđeo iz Otkrivenja osamnaest „treći anđeo“. Treći anđeo posljednji je od trojice i predočen je prvim; iz toga razloga Sestra White obavještava nas da je poslanje prvoga anđela bilo istovjetno poslanju anđela iz Otkrivenja osamnaest, jer je poslanje obaju anđela bilo „rasvijetliti zemlju svojom slavom“.

The “seven thunders” represent a delineation of events within the history of the first and second angels that will be repeated in the history of the third angel. Inspiration has directed that when we align these histories “line upon line”, the first angel’s descent in 1840 aligns with His descent at 9/11. It identifies a testing message that must be eaten with two witnesses, and aligns a disappointment with the first waymark.

„Sedam gromova” predstavljaju razgraničenje događaja unutar povijesti prvoga i drugoga anđela koje će se ponoviti u povijesti trećega anđela. Nadahnuće je uputilo da, kada ove povijesti uskladimo „redak na redak”, silazak prvoga anđela 1840. usklađuje se s Njegovim silaskom 11. rujna. To označava poruku kušnje koja se mora pojesti s dva svjedoka te usklađuje razočaranje s prvim waymarkom.

The “seven thunders” represent the prophetic period that begins with a disappointment and ends with a greater disappointment.

„Sedam gromova” predstavlja proročko razdoblje koje započinje razočaranjem i završava još većim razočaranjem.

When the prophetic line of the descent of the first angel is aligned with the arrival of the second angel, it produces “a structure of truth.” Truth is defined as three steps, with the first and last being the same and the middle step representing rebellion. Aligning the first two angels with this design, produces a structure made up of the first and second angels, that illustrates the third angel of Revelation eighteen, and the third angel of Revelation eighteen is a combination of both the first and second angels.

Kada se proročki slijed silaska prvoga anđela uskladi s dolaskom drugoga anđela, nastaje „struktura istine”. Istina je definirana kao tri koraka, pri čemu su prvi i posljednji isti, a srednji korak predstavlja pobunu. Usklađivanjem prva dva anđela s tim obrascem nastaje struktura sastavljena od prvoga i drugoga anđela, koja prikazuje trećega anđela iz Otkrivenja osamnaest, a treći anđeo iz Otkrivenja osamnaest spoj je i prvoga i drugoga anđela.

The third angel of Revelation eighteen is made up of two voices. The first voice was fulfilled when the buildings of New York came down at 9/11 and the second voice of verse four is the Sunday law. Within the period from 9/11 unto the Sunday law the third angel of Revelation eighteen represents a combination of the first and second angels. This being the fact, using those two angels’ history “line upon line,” to represent the history of the third angel of Revelation eighteen—is to align the first and second angel, with the first and second angel.

Treći anđeo iz osamnaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja sastoji se od dvaju glasova. Prvi je glas bio ispunjen kada su se zgrade New Yorka srušile 11. rujna, a drugi glas iz četvrtoga retka jest nedjeljni zakon. U razdoblju od 11. rujna do nedjeljnoga zakona treći anđeo iz osamnaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja predstavlja spoj prvoga i drugoga anđela. Budući da je to činjenica, uporabiti povijest ta dva anđela „redak na redak“ kako bi predstavljala povijest trećega anđela iz osamnaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja — znači uskladiti prvoga i drugoga anđela s prvim i drugim anđelom.

Two angels arrive at the first disappointment, and both angels are prophetically related, and both have a testing message that is in the angel’s hand. The waymark next represented in the line is Habakkuk’s tables, which is directly associated with the hand of God. In the line of the first angel, the 1843 chart is produced in May of 1842, and in the line of the second angel, there was no chart. The chart had ended at the arrival of the second angel. The waymark of Habakkuk’s table in the line of the second angel is the removing of God’s hand from a mistake in the figures of the 1843 chart.

Dva anđela dolaze na prvo razočaranje, i oba su anđela proročki povezana, i oba imaju poruku kušnje koja je u ruci anđela. Sljedeći putokaz prikazan u liniji jesu Habakukove ploče, što je izravno povezano s Božjom rukom. U liniji prvoga anđela karta iz 1843. nastaje u svibnju 1842., a u liniji drugoga anđela nije bilo karte. Karta je završila s dolaskom drugoga anđela. Putokaz Habakukove ploče u liniji drugoga anđela jest uklanjanje Božje ruke s pogreške u brojkama karte iz 1843.

His hand covered a mistake in the waymark of the first angel, and His hand was removed at that very same waymark, in the line of the second angel. Thus; the waymark of Habakkuk’s tables in the parallel lines of the first and second angel represents two steps. In the first step His hand covers a mistake, and at the end of the period of the waymark of Habakkuk’s tables, He removes His hand. The tarrying time began with the arrival of the second angel and the tarrying time ends progressively, beginning with the removal of His hand. The waymark of Habakkuk’s tables represents a period of time that is marked by Christ’s hand at the beginning and His hand at the ending.

Njegova je ruka prekrila pogrešku na putokazu prvoga anđela, a Njegova je ruka bila uklonjena upravo na tom istom putokazu, u crti drugoga anđela. Dakle, putokaz Habakukovih ploča u usporednim crtama prvoga i drugoga anđela predstavlja dva koraka. U prvom koraku Njegova ruka prekriva pogrešku, a na kraju razdoblja putokaza Habakukovih ploča On uklanja svoju ruku. Vrijeme odgode započelo je dolaskom drugoga anđela, a vrijeme odgode završava postupno, počevši uklanjanjem Njegove ruke. Putokaz Habakukovih ploča predstavlja vremensko razdoblje koje je na početku obilježeno Kristovom rukom, a na svršetku Njegovom rukom.

Two hands are marked at the first disappointment, and both have a testing message that must be taken and eaten. Then a period of prophetic time, representing the foundational truths, begins with God’s hand covering and ending with His hand uncovering. The next waymark is the Exeter camp meeting where the cry at midnight separates and purifies those who would follow Christ’s hand into the Most Holy Place.

Dvije su ruke označene pri prvom razočaranju, i obje imaju poruku kušnje koja se mora uzeti i pojesti. Zatim započinje razdoblje proročkoga vremena, koje predstavlja temeljne istine, počevši s Božjom rukom koja prekriva i završavajući s Njegovom rukom koja otkriva. Sljedeći putokaz jest taborni sastanak u Exeteru, gdje poklik u ponoć razdvaja i pročišćuje one koji bi slijedili Kristovu ruku u Svetinju nad svetinjama.

When Christ moved into the Most Holy Place, He lifted up His hand to heaven and swore that time would be no longer. He had just sealed up the “seven thunders” which represent the history of the first two angels, repeating in the history of the third. He sealed up the “seven thunders” as He had sealed up the prophecies of Daniel in chapter twelve. In chapter twelve of Daniel, at the first of three symbolic periods of time, Christ raises both hands to heaven and proclaims that when the scattering of God’s people is finished, those who become “men wondered at” would be purified and lifted up as an offering. The structure of the first and second angels which we are currently considering, symbolically manifests God’s hand at every step.

Kad je Krist ušao u Presveto mjesto, podigao je svoju ruku prema nebu i zakleo se da vremena više neće biti. Upravo je bio zapečatio „sedam gromova” koji predstavljaju povijest prva dva anđela, ponavljajući se u povijesti trećega. Zapečatio je „sedam gromova” kao što je zapečatio Danielova proroštva u dvanaestom poglavlju. U dvanaestom poglavlju Daniela, na početku triju simboličkih vremenskih razdoblja, Krist podiže obje ruke prema nebu i objavljuje da će, kada se dovrši raspršenje Božjega naroda, oni koji postanu „ljudi čudu” biti očišćeni i uzdignuti kao prinos. Ustroj prvoga i drugoga anđela, koji sada razmatramo, simbolički očituje Božju ruku na svakom koraku.

When He covers truth, it produces a disappointment, and when He removes His hand, light is produced, and the light is the light of the message of the Midnight Cry. The first disappointment to the great disappointment bears the signature of alpha and omega and is set forth within the structure of truth. The beginning represents the end, and the waymark between the two disappointments portray the effect of the sealing and unsealing of Habakkuk’s tables, which is an unsealing of Jeremiah’s old paths, and represents the foundation upon which the temple is erected in advance of the Sunday law when the finished temple is lifted up above all the mountains. The middle waymark in the word of truth, represents rebellion, and in the history represented by the final separation of the wheat and tares manifests the rebellion of the foolish virgins.

Kada On zakriva istinu, to proizvodi razočaranje, a kada uklanja svoju ruku, nastaje svjetlo, i to je svjetlo svjetlo poruke Ponoćnog poklika. Prvo razočaranje sve do velikoga razočaranja nosi potpis alfe i omege te je izloženo unutar strukture istine. Početak predstavlja svršetak, a oznaka puta između dvaju razočaranja prikazuje učinak zapečaćivanja i otpečaćivanja Habakukovih ploča, što je otpečaćivanje Jeremijinih starih staza, te predstavlja temelj na kojemu se podiže hram prije nedjeljnoga zakona, kada se dovršeni hram uzdiže iznad svih gora. Središnja oznaka puta u riječi istine predstavlja pobunu, a u povijesti prikazanoj konačnim odvajanjem pšenice i kukolja očituje pobunu ludih djevica.

The rebellion represented by the waymark of Habakkuk’s tables is represented as progressive, for it is not a single waymark, but a period with a defined beginning and ending, as represented by God’s hand. God’s hand is twice at the first disappointment, for there are two angels which both have a message in their hands. The next waymark of rebellion has a beginning and ending hand, so it also has two hands within its prophetic characteristics. The third waymark of the greater disappointment identifies Christ raising His hand and swearing to heaven, in the very passage where the seven thunders are sealed up, as was Daniel chapter twelve. At the very point the angel marks the end of the prophetic structure of the first two angels we are now considering, He ends the application of prophetic time, and places Himself in a parallel passage in the book of Daniel, where He is not raising His hand, but raising both His hands.

Pobuna prikazana putem putokaza Habakukovih ploča prikazana je kao postupna, jer nije riječ o jednom jedinom putokazu, nego o razdoblju s određenim početkom i završetkom, kako je prikazano Božjom rukom. Božja je ruka dvaput pri prvom razočaranju, jer postoje dva anđela koji obojica imaju poruku u svojim rukama. Sljedeći putokaz pobune ima početnu i završnu ruku, pa tako i on unutar svojih proročkih obilježja ima dvije ruke. Treći putokaz velikog razočaranja prepoznaje Krista kako podiže svoju ruku i kune se nebom, upravo u istom odlomku u kojem je zapečaćeno sedam gromova, kao što je to bilo u dvanaestom poglavlju Daniela. Upravo na onoj točki na kojoj anđeo označava kraj proročke strukture prva dva anđela koja sada razmatramo, On završava primjenu proročkog vremena i postavlja se u usporedni odlomak u knjizi Daniela, gdje ne podiže svoju ruku, nego podiže obje svoje ruke.

In Daniel twelve there are three prophetic periods that are unsealed in the latter days, for this is what befalls God’s people in the latter days. The first thing mentioned in Daniel’s final climactic vision was that Daniel, who represents the remnant people of God, had understanding of both of the thing and of the vision. The last thing recorded by Daniel is how the increase of knowledge was employed by the Lion of the tribe of Judah to produce the final revival and reformation among God’s people who are distinguished as those who understand. He accomplishes the sealing of His people by unsealing the “seven thunders” of Revelation in connection with the unsealing of the “three periods” of Daniel twelve.

U dvanaestom poglavlju Daniela nalaze se tri proročka razdoblja koja su otpečaćena u posljednjim danima, jer to je ono što snalazi Božji narod u posljednjim danima. Prvo što se spominje u Danielovu završnom vrhuncu viđenja jest da je Daniel, koji predstavlja ostatak Božjega naroda, imao razumijevanje i stvari i viđenja. Posljednje što je Daniel zabilježio jest kako je porast znanja Lav iz plemena Judina upotrijebio da proizvede posljednje probuđenje i reformaciju među Božjim narodom, koji se razlikuju kao oni koji razumiju. On dovršava pečaćenje svoga naroda otpečaćivanjem „sedam gromova” iz Otkrivenja u vezi s otpečaćivanjem „triju razdoblja” iz dvanaestog poglavlja Daniela.

When Jesus identifies that at the end of the three and a half prophetic days of scattering the power of God’s people, all the “marvels” would be finished—He is identifying July 2023, when the three and a half days of death in the streets of Revelation eleven was finished. Now the marvels would be finished in advance of the Sunday law. He marked July 2023, by raising not one, but both hands. In so doing He was marking the end of the tarrying time, as when He removed His hand from the mistake in Millerite history. The first disappointment occurred on July 18, 2020, as typified by the Millerite’s first disappointment, and the tarrying time began and continued until He stretched forth His hand a second time to gather His remnant people in July of 2023.

Kada Isus označuje da će na kraju tri i pol proročka dana raspršivanja sile Božjega naroda sva „čudesa” biti dovršena, On time označuje srpanj 2023., kada su bila dovršena tri i pol dana smrti na ulicama iz jedanaestoga poglavlja Otkrivenja. Tada bi čudesa bila dovršena prije nedjeljnoga zakona. On je označio srpanj 2023. podižući ne jednu, nego obje ruke. Čineći to, označio je kraj vremena odgode, kao kada je uklonio svoju ruku s pogreške u mileritskoj povijesti. Prvo razočaranje dogodilo se 18. srpnja 2020., kako je predočeno prvim razočaranjem milerita, a vrijeme odgode započelo je i trajalo sve dok nije drugi put ispružio svoju ruku da sabere svoj preostali narod u srpnju 2023.

The first disappointment is represented by God’s hand covering a mistake, that for the Millerites was identifying the year 1843, instead of October 22, 1844. That disappointment is represented in verse twelve of chapter twelve. The first disappointment is represented by His hand covering the mistake, and was typified by the Millerites who came to the first disappointment. The word in verse twelve is “cometh.” Blessed is he who waiteth, and who “cometh” to the 1335; blessed is he who “cometh” to the disappointment of April 19, 1844. The word translated as “cometh” means “to touch.” The Millerites experienced their first disappointment when the year 1843 touched the year 1844. Verse twelve of Daniel twelve identifies the first disappointment of both April 19, 1844, but more directly the first disappointment of July 18, 2020.

Prvo razočaranje prikazano je Božjom rukom koja prekriva pogrešku, a za milerite je ta pogreška bila poistovjećivanje godine 1843., umjesto 22. listopada 1844. To je razočaranje prikazano u dvanaestom retku dvanaestog poglavlja. Prvo razočaranje prikazano je Njegovom rukom koja prekriva pogrešku i predočeno je mileritima koji su došli do prvog razočaranja. Riječ u dvanaestom retku jest „dolazi“. Blago onomu koji čeka i koji „dolazi“ do 1335; blago onomu koji „dolazi“ do razočaranja od 19. travnja 1844. Riječ prevedena kao „dolazi“ znači „dotaknuti“. Mileriti su doživjeli svoje prvo razočaranje kada je godina 1843. dotaknula godinu 1844. Dvanaesti redak Daniela dvanaest označuje prvo razočaranje i 19. travnja 1844., ali još izravnije prvo razočaranje od 18. srpnja 2020.

The first prophetic period and the last prophetic period of the three periods that are unsealed at the time of the end, when knowledge is increased and accomplishes the final separation of the wheat and tares, thus identifying the unsealing of the prophetic light that seals the one hundred and forty-four thousand are the same prophetic period.

Prvo proročko razdoblje i posljednje proročko razdoblje od triju razdoblja koja su otpečaćena u vrijeme svršetka, kada se umnožava znanje i izvršava konačno odvajanje pšenice od kukolja, te se tako prepoznaje otpečaćenje proročke svjetlosti koja pečati sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, jedno su te isto proročko razdoblje.

The first period of verse seven, is the ending of the scattering of Revelation eleven’s three and a half days in July of 2023, and the period in verse twelve is the beginning of that same scattering on July 18, 2020. Alpha and Omega had marked the history of the seven thunders in Daniel twelve, as the history that begins at the disappointment of July 18, 2020 and ends three and a half symbolic days later in July of 2023. Just as important is that when Alpha and Omega marked the beginning and ending of the final tarrying time, He raised not one, but both of His hands to heaven and swore by Him that liveth forever and ever.

Prvo razdoblje iz sedmoga retka jest završetak raspršenja iz tri i pol dana u jedanaestom poglavlju Otkrivenja, u srpnju 2023., a razdoblje iz dvanaestoga retka jest početak toga istog raspršenja 18. srpnja 2020. Alfa i Omega označio je povijest sedam gromova u dvanaestom poglavlju Daniela kao povijest koja započinje razočaranjem 18. srpnja 2020. i završava tri i pol simbolična dana kasnije, u srpnju 2023. Jednako je važno to što, kada je Alfa i Omega označio početak i svršetak posljednjega vremena zadržavanja, nije podigao jednu, nego obje svoje ruke prema nebu i zakleo se Onim koji živi u vijeke vjekova.

The Son of God who is the son of man is making an oath with the Father, right where the climax of the story of the covenant people of God began, when Christ first called Abram with a promise, and then confirmed the promise, with an oath. Take off your shoes, you are on holy ground!

Sin Božji, koji je Sin Čovječji, sklapa zakletvu s Ocem upravo ondje gdje je započeo vrhunac priče o savezničkom narodu Božjemu, kada je Krist najprije pozvao Abrama obećanjem, a zatim obećanje potvrdio zakletvom. Izuj svoju obuću, jer stojiš na svetom tlu!

The middle letter of the three prophetic periods is nothing less than the omega fulfillment of Abram and Paul’s covenant time prophecy of 430 years as represented in the 1290 years of verse eleven. The verse approached with Millerite understanding identified a thirty-year period of preparation for the papacy, then 1260 years of papal persecution that follows. Abram’s 430 years represents bondage and deliverance in a specific nation, in conjunction with the first thirty years representing the Lord entering into covenant with Abram. The thirty years preparation for the priests began in 1989 at the time of the end, and the thirty years end at the Sunday law, when the verse identifies the abomination of desolation would be placed, and would then persecute God’s people for 1260 symbolic years aligning with John’s 42 symbolic months in Revelation thirteen.

Srednje slovo od tri proročka razdoblja nije ništa manje nego omega ispunjenje proročanstva o savezničkom vremenu od 430 godina Abrama i Pavla, kako je prikazano u 1290 godina iz jedanaestog retka. Redak, promatran s mileritskim razumijevanjem, prepoznaje tridesetogodišnje razdoblje priprave za papinstvo, nakon kojega slijedi 1260 godina papinskoga progonstva. Abramovih 430 godina predstavlja ropstvo i izbavljenje u određenom narodu, zajedno s time da prvih trideset godina predstavljaju Gospodinovo stupanje u savez s Abramom. Trideset godina priprave za svećenike započelo je 1989. godine, u vrijeme svršetka, a tih trideset godina završava nedjeljnim zakonom, kada redak naznačuje da će biti postavljena grozota pustoši te će tada progoniti Božji narod tijekom 1260 simboličkih godina, usklađujući se s Ivanova 42 simbolička mjeseca u trinaestom poglavlju Otkrivenja.

The reformatory movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began in 1989, as the Lord began His work of preparing a priesthood to serve during the crisis at midnight, that begins at the Sunday law. The Alpha and Omega stood upon the water of the Hiddekel and raised both His hands to heaven, swearing that when the scattering of July 18, 2020 unto July 2023 was fulfilled, the marvels associated with Christ’s work of combining His Divinity with humanity would be finished.

Reformatorski pokret sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće započeo je 1989. godine, kada je Gospodin otpočeo svoje djelo pripravljanja svećenstva da služi tijekom krize o ponoći, koja započinje nedjeljnim zakonom. Alfa i Omega stajao je nad vodama Hidekela i podigao obje svoje ruke k nebu, zaklinjući se da će, kada se ispuni rasijavanje od 18. srpnja 2020. do srpnja 2023., biti dovršena čudesa povezana s Kristovim djelom sjedinjenja njegova božanstva s čovještvom.

This is the same pronouncement of chapter ten, in the line of the seven thunders, for He not only there ended the prophetic application of time, but he also identified that in the days of the sounding of the seventh trumpet the mystery of God would be finished. The parallel passage in Daniel twelve identifies that when the scattering ended in July of 2023, the finishing of the sealing of God’s people would be finished, as represented by the sounding of the seventh trumpet that coincided with Christ raising His hand and swearing in both parallel passages.

To je ista objava iz desetoga poglavlja, u slijedu sedam gromova, jer ondje ne samo da je završio proročku primjenu vremena, nego je također odredio da će se u danima kad zatrubi sedmi anđeo dovršiti tajna Božja. Usporedni odlomak u Danielu dvanaest otkriva da će, kad je raspršenje završilo u srpnju 2023., dovršenje pečaćenja Božjega naroda biti dovršeno, kao što je predstavljeno zvukom sedme trube, koji se podudario s time da je Krist podigao svoju ruku i zakleo se u oba usporedna odlomka.

The first prophetic period and the last prophetic period of the threefold message of Daniel twelve possesses an alpha and omega signature. The first period of verse seven identifies the end of the very same period, that verse twelve marks the beginning of. In the middle of verses seven and twelve, the history of the time of the end in 1989 unto the close of probation is represented. In the middle of the alpha period of verse seven and the omega history of verse twelve, the final rebellion of mankind from the Sunday law until Michael stands up is represented, and it is represented in the very chapter where Michael stands up.

Prvo proročko razdoblje i posljednje proročko razdoblje trostruke poruke iz dvanaestog poglavlja Daniela nose potpis alfe i omege. Prvo razdoblje iz sedmog retka identificira završetak upravo onoga istog razdoblja kojemu dvanaesti redak označuje početak. U sredini između sedmog i dvanaestog retka prikazana je povijest vremena svršetka od 1989. godine do završetka vremena milosti. U sredini alfa-razdoblja sedmog retka i omega-povijesti dvanaestog retka prikazana je konačna pobuna čovječanstva od nedjeljnog zakona sve dok Mihael ne ustane, a prikazana je upravo u samom poglavlju u kojem Mihael ustaje.

The rebellion of the middle period, is primarily the external history of rebellion, but the first thirty years is the internal history of the preparation of the priests who are in direct confrontation with the external forces represented in the following 1260 period.

Pobuna srednjeg razdoblja prvenstveno je izvanjska povijest pobune, no prvih trideset godina jest unutarnja povijest pripreme svećenika koji su u izravnom sučeljavanju s izvanjskim silama predstavljenima u sljedećem razdoblju od 1260 godina.

The middle period represents the rebellion of the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and it combines with the internal as it portrays the final battle of the great controversy upon planet earth, while probation lingers. Its combination of external and internal is also the message of Daniel’s last vision, represented by the river Hiddekel and the three chapters which also bear the signature of Alpha and Omega, and are built upon the structure of truth. The first and last chapter address the sealing of God’s people who are portrayed as the stars that shine forever. The middle chapter of rebellion identifies the same history represented in verse eleven with the 1290 years, which is the middle verse in the very same structure.

Srednje razdoblje predstavlja pobunu trinaestoga slova hebrejskoga alfabeta i sjedinjuje se s unutarnjim dok prikazuje završnu bitku velike borbe na planetu Zemlji, dok vrijeme kušnje još traje. Njegova kombinacija vanjskoga i unutarnjega također je poruka Danielova posljednjeg viđenja, prikazanog rijekom Hiddekel i trima poglavljima koja također nose potpis Alfe i Omege te su izgrađena na ustroju istine. Prvo i posljednje poglavlje govore o zapečaćenju Božjega naroda, koji je prikazan kao zvijezde što sjaje zauvijek. Središnje poglavlje pobune prepoznaje istu povijest prikazanu u jedanaestom retku s 1290 godina, što je središnji redak u toj istoj strukturi.

When Christ employs His hand within the prophetic structure it represents many truths, but it also represents the path He is leading His people upon. The revelation of Jesus Christ began to be unsealed in July of 2023. That unsealing includes the unsealing of the seven thunders and the message of Daniel as represented within chapter twelve. The unsealing takes place within the hidden history of verse forty, which began in 1989 and concludes at the Sunday law. In that history God’s people will be sealed, and they are sealed by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. The final outpouring of the Holy Spirit is identified in the eighth chapter of Revelation, where it is represented as the seventh, and therefore the final seal. The Lion of the tribe of Judah prevailed in chapter five to open the book sealed with seven seals.

Kada Krist u proročkoj strukturi upotrebljava svoju ruku, ona predstavlja mnoge istine, ali također predstavlja put kojim vodi svoj narod. Otkrivenje Isusa Krista počelo se odpečaćivati u srpnju 2023. To odpečaćivanje uključuje odpečaćivanje sedam gromova i Danielove poruke kako je prikazana unutar dvanaestog poglavlja. Odpečaćivanje se odvija unutar skrivene povijesti četrdesetog retka, koja je započela 1989. i završava kod nedjeljnog zakona. U toj će povijesti Božji narod biti zapečaćen, a zapečaćen je izlijevanjem Duha Svetoga. Završno izlijevanje Duha Svetoga prepoznaje se u osmom poglavlju Otkrivenja, gdje je prikazano kao sedmi, a stoga i posljednji pečat. Lav iz Judina plemena nadvladao je u petom poglavlju da otvori knjigu zapečaćenu sa sedam pečata.

The sixth seal raised the question at the end of chapter six, asking who would be able to stand during the period when there is no longer mediation for sin.

Šesti pečat postavio je pitanje na kraju šestoga poglavlja, pitajući tko će moći opstati tijekom razdoblja kada više nema posredovanja za grijeh.

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Revelation 6:17.

Jer je došao veliki dan gnjeva njegova; i tko će moći opstati? Otkrivenje 6,17.

The next chapter, or you can say the next verse, introduces the sealing of the one-hundred and forty-four thousand and the great multitude who are gathered into God’s kingdom during the Sunday law crisis. The one-hundred and forty-four thousand are the answer of the sixth seal’s question. After they are represented in chapter seven, then, chapter eight identifies the seventh and final seal being removed.

Sljedeće poglavlje, ili možete reći sljedeći redak, uvodi pečaćenje sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće te veliko mnoštvo koje se prikuplja u Božje kraljevstvo tijekom krize zakona o nedjelji. Sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće odgovor su na pitanje šestoga pečata. Nakon što su prikazani u sedmome poglavlju, osmo poglavlje zatim označava uklanjanje sedmoga i posljednjega pečata.

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

I kad je otvorio sedmi pečat, nastade tišina na nebu oko pola sata. I vidjeh sedam anđela koji stajahu pred Bogom; i njima se dade sedam truba. I drugi anđeo dođe i stade pred žrtvenik, imajući zlatnu kadionicu; i dade mu se mnogo kâda, da ga prinese sa molitvama svih svetih na zlatni žrtvenik koji bijaše pred prijestoljem. I dim kâda, koji uzađe s molitvama svetih, uzdizao se pred Boga iz ruke anđelove.

And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. Revelation 8:1–5.

I anđeo uze kadionicu, napuni je ognjem sa žrtvenika i baci na zemlju; i nastadoše glasovi, i gromovi, i munje, i potres. Otkrivenje 8,1–5.

The “fire,” represented in Isaiah chapter six as a “coal,” which Sister White identifies as a symbol of purification, are taken from the altar and cast to the earth. The “fire” from heaven at Pentecost was represented as tongues of “fire.” “Fire” is what the Messenger of the Covenant uses to purify the sons of Levi.

„Oganj”, prikazan u šestom poglavlju Izaije kao „žeravica”, koji sestra White prepoznaje kao simbol pročišćenja, uzima se sa žrtvenika i baca na zemlju. „Oganj” s neba na Pedesetnicu bio je prikazan kao jezici „ognja”. „Oganj” je ono čime Glasnik Saveza pročišćuje sinove Levijeve.

“‘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.

“‘Njemu je vijača u ruci, i temeljito će očistiti svoje gumno, i sabrat će svoju pšenicu u žitnicu.’ Matej 3,12. Ovo je bilo jedno od vremena čišćenja. Riječima istine pljeva se odvajala od pšenice. Budući da su bili odviše tašti i samopravedni da prime ukor, odviše zaljubljeni u svijet da prihvate život poniznosti, mnogi su se odvratili od Isusa. Mnogi još uvijek čine isto. Duše se danas ispituju kao što su bili iskušani oni učenici u sinagogi u Kafarnaumu. Kada istina dopre do srca, oni vide da njihov život nije u skladu s Božjom voljom. Vide potrebu za potpunom promjenom u sebi; ali nisu voljni prihvatiti djelo samoodricanja. Stoga se gnjeve kada se otkriju njihovi grijesi. Odlaze uvrijeđeni, kao što su učenici ostavili Isusa, mrmljajući: ‘Tvrda je ovo besjeda; tko je može slušati?’” Želja vjekova, 392.

Fire is what came down on Elijah’s offering, as it did with Gideon’s offering to the angel. The “fire” of purification is God’s Word, for to be made holy, is to be sanctified by His Word. The “fire” that is cast down to earth when the seventh seal is removed identifies the empowerment of the prophetic message that is unsealed in the latter days, during the sounding of the seventh trumpet, during the final and perfect fulfillment of the events represented by the seven thunders and confirmed by the three prophetic periods of Daniel twelve that were sealed up until the latter days.

Oganj je ono što je sišlo na Ilijinu žrtvu, kao što je bilo i s Gideonovom žrtvom anđelu. „Oganj” očišćenja jest Božja Riječ, jer biti učinjen svetim znači biti posvećen Njegovom Riječju. „Oganj” koji se baca na zemlju kada se uklanja sedmi pečat označuje osnaženje proročke poruke koja se otpečaćuje u posljednjim danima, za vrijeme oglašavanja sedme trube, tijekom konačnog i savršenog ispunjenja događaja predočenih sa sedam gromova i potvrđenih trima proročkim razdobljima iz dvanaestog poglavlja Daniela, koja su bila zapečaćena sve do posljednjih dana.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ that is unsealed just before the close of human probation—includes the unsealing of the seven thunders, the removal of the seventh seal, the unsealing of Daniel twelve, and the unsealing of the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel eleven, the very history where the angel asked the Man in linen what would be the end of these wonders.

Otkrivenje Isusa Krista koje se otpečaćuje neposredno prije završetka vremena ljudske kušnje—uključuje otpečaćenje sedam gromova, uklanjanje sedmog pečata, otpečaćenje dvanaestog poglavlja Daniela te otpečaćenje skrivene povijesti četrdesetog retka jedanaestog poglavlja Daniela, upravo one povijesti u vezi s kojom je anđeo upitao Čovjeka odjevena u lan: kakav će biti svršetak tih čudesa.

The Man in linen responded and said—When you get to the conclusion of the tarrying time in July of 2023, you have reached the history of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Čovjek obučen u lan odgovori i reče — Kad dođeš do završetka vremena odgađanja u srpnju 2023., dosegao si povijest pečaćenja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće.

He also said—at the end of the three and a half symbolic days of Revelation eleven, a prophetic message from the book of Daniel would be unsealed, as typified by the time of the end in 1798. The truth that would then be unsealed, at the end of three and a half symbolic days, would be located in the very nine verses from the book of Daniel that identifies and defines the sealing and unsealing of the book of Daniel.

On je također rekao — na kraju tri i pol simbolična dana iz jedanaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja, proročanska poruka iz knjige Daniela bit će odpečaćena, kao što je predočeno vremenom svršetka 1798. godine. Istina koja će tada biti odpečaćena, na kraju tri i pol simbolična dana, nalazit će se upravo u onih devet redaka iz knjige Daniela koji prepoznaju i određuju pečaćenje i odpečaćivanje knjige Daniela.

We will continue these things in the next article.

O ovim ćemo stvarima nastaviti u sljedećem članku.

“When Christ came to this earth, the traditions that had been handed down from generation to generation, and the human interpretation of the Scriptures, hid from men the truth as it is in Jesus. The truth was buried beneath a mass of tradition. The spiritual import of the sacred volumes was lost; for in their unbelief men locked the door of the heavenly treasure. Darkness covered the earth, and gross darkness the people. Truth looked down from heaven to earth; but nowhere was revealed the divine impress. A gloom like the pall of death overspread the earth.

„Kad je Krist došao na ovu zemlju, predaje koje su se prenosile s naraštaja na naraštaj i ljudsko tumačenje Pisama sakrili su ljudima istinu kakva je u Isusu. Istina je bila pokopana pod gomilom predaja. Duhovno značenje svetih svezaka bilo je izgubljeno; jer su ljudi u svojem nevjerovanju zaključali vrata nebeskoga blaga. Tama je pokrivala zemlju i gust mrak narode. Istina je gledala s neba na zemlju; ali nigdje se nije otkrivao božanski pečat. Sumornost poput mrtvačkoga pokrova nadvila se nad zemljom.״

“But the Lion of the tribe of Judah prevailed. He opened the seal that closed the book of divine instruction. The world was permitted to gaze upon pure, unadulterated truth. Truth itself descended to roll back the darkness and counteract error. A Teacher was sent from heaven with the light that was to light every man that comes into the world. There were men and women who were eagerly seeking for knowledge, the sure word of prophecy, and when it came, it was as a light shining in a dark place.” Spalding Magan, 58.

„Ali je pobijedio Lav iz Judina plemena. Otvorio je pečat koji je zatvarao knjigu božanske upute. Svijetu je bilo dopušteno promatrati čistu, nepatvorenu istinu. Sama je Istina sišla da odmakne tamu i suzbije zabludu. Učitelj je bio poslan s neba sa svjetlošću koja je trebala prosvijetliti svakoga čovjeka koji dolazi na svijet. Bilo je muškaraca i žena koji su gorljivo tražili znanje, sigurnu proročku riječ, i kad je ona došla, bila je kao svjetlost što svijetli na tamnu mjestu.” Spalding Magan, 58.

“The scribes and Pharisees professed to explain the Scriptures, but they explained them in accordance with their own ideas and traditions. Their customs and maxims became more and more exacting. In its spiritual sense, the sacred Word became to the people as a sealed book, closed to their comprehension.” Signs of the Times, May 17, 1905.

„Pismoznanci i farizeji tvrdili su da tumače Pisma, ali su ih tumačili u skladu sa svojim vlastitim zamislima i predajama. Njihovi običaji i maksime postajali su sve zahtjevniji i stroži. U svojem duhovnom smislu, sveta Riječ postala je narodu kao zapečaćena knjiga, zatvorena njihovu razumijevanju.“ Signs of the Times, 17. svibnja 1905.
