We are considering six historical lines within the history of Adventism where controversies over the symbol of Rome was the issue. We are employing the methodology of the latter rain, which is “line upon line” from “here a little” and “there a little.” We began by identifying that the first controversy over the symbol of Rome illustrates the current controversy, and therefore emphasizes that we are now in the last controversy before probation closes.
N ap konsidere sis liy istorik nan listwa Advantis la kote konfli konsènan senbòl Wòm te kesyon an. Nou ap itilize metodoloji lapli ta a, ki se “liy sou liy” soti nan “isit la yon ti kras” ak “laba a yon ti kras.” Nou te kòmanse pa idantifye ke premye konfli sou senbòl Wòm nan ilistre konfli aktyèl la, e poutèt sa li mete anfaz sou lefèt ke nou kounye a nan dènye konfli a anvan tan gras la fèmen.
The seriousness of this final controversy about the symbol of Rome is also represented by verses ten through sixteen of Daniel eleven, which typify the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel eleven. The history of verse forty brings the student of prophecy to 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union as represented in verse ten. The next verse, verse forty-one, which identifies the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, is typified by verse sixteen. Inspiration has identified that what was sealed was “the portion of the book of Daniel that related to the last days”.
Gravite kontrovers final sa a konsènan senbòl Wòm nan reprezante tou nan vèsè dis rive sèz nan Dànyèl onz, ki sèvi kòm tip istwa kache vèsè karant nan Dànyèl onz lan. Istwa vèsè karant lan mennen etidyan pwofesi a rive nan ane 1989 ak efondreman Inyon Sovyetik la, jan sa reprezante nan vèsè dis la. Vèsè ki vin apre a, vèsè karant-yon, ki idantifye lwa dimanch k ap vini byento Ozetazini, tipifye pa vèsè sèz la. Enspirasyon te idantifye ke sa ki te sele a se te “pati nan liv Dànyèl la ki te gen rapò ak dènye jou yo”.
1989 unto the Sunday law is the sealed portion of the last days, and it is typified in verses ten through sixteen. It is therefore the increase of knowledge that leads to the close of probation for Seventh-day Adventists, for Adventism’s probation in the United States is finished at the Sunday law. In verses ten through sixteen we find verse fourteen, which identifies that it is the “robbers” of God’s people that establish the vision.
Depi 1989 jouk rive nan lwa dimanch lan se pati sele nan dènye jou yo, e sa parèt an tip nan vèsè dis rive sèz. Se poutèt sa, se ogmantasyon konesans lan ki mennen nan fen tan pwobasyon pou Advantis Setyèm Jou yo, paske pwobasyon Advantis la Ozetazini fini nan lwa dimanch lan. Nan vèsè dis rive sèz yo nou jwenn vèsè katòz, ki idantifye ke se “vòlè” pèp Bondye a ki tabli vizyon an.
Therefore, the Millerite controversy that is represented upon the 1843 pioneer chart is the first controversy of Rome in Adventism’s history. The fact that the very same controversy has again arrived, informs anyone who wishes to see that Jesus, as the Alpha and Omega, always illustrates the end with the beginning. The current controversy is the final controversy which sifts the wise and foolish virgins.
Se poutèt sa, konfli milerit la ki reprezante sou tablo pyonye 1843 a se premye konfli Wòm nan listwa Advantis la. Lefèt ke menm konfli sa a rive ankò fè nenpòt moun ki vle wè konprann ke Jezi, kòm Alfa ak Omega, toujou ilistre fen an avèk kòmansman an. Konfli aktyèl la se dènye konfli a ki pase nan Van an vyèj saj yo ak vyèj sòt yo.
Sanctified prophetic logic teaches that the one hundred and forty-four thousand come into perfect unity before their close of probation at the soon-coming Sunday law. The refining fire of Malachi’s Messenger of the Covenant is now purifying the Levites as gold and silver. The Dirt Brush Man is now purging His floor with words of truth.
Lojik pwofetik ki sanktifye anseye ke san karantkat mil yo rive nan inite pafè anvan fen tan gras yo lè lwa dimanch k ap vini talè a rive. Dife rafinè Mesaje Alyans lan nan Malachi a ap pirifye Levit yo kounye a tankou lò ak ajan. Nonm Bwòs Pousyè a ap netwaye planche pa Li a kounye a ak pawòl verite yo.
“‘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.
“‘Van an ki gen laye li nan men li, e li pral netwaye glasi li nèt ale, epi l ap ranmase ble li nan depo a.’ Matye 3:12. Sa a te youn nan tan pirifikasyon yo. Pa mwayen pawòl verite yo, pay la t ap separe ak ble a. Paske yo te twò vanite e twò pwòp tèt yo jis pou resevwa repwòch, twò renmen mond lan pou aksepte yon lavi imilite, anpil te vire do bay Jezi. Anpil toujou ap fè menm bagay la. Jodi a, nanm yo ap sibi menm eprèv disip sa yo te sibi nan sinagòg Kapènawòm nan. Lè verite a rive touche kè a, yo wè lavi yo pa ann amoni ak volonte Bondye. Yo wè nesesite pou yon chanjman total nan yo menm; men yo pa dispoze antre nan travay renonsman sa a. Se poutèt sa yo fache lè peche yo devwale. Yo ale, yo pran eskandal, menm jan disip yo te kite Jezi, y ap bougonnen: ‘Sa a se yon pawòl di; kiyès ki ka tande li?’” The Desire of Ages, 392.
The fact that the first sixteen verses are the beginning of Daniel’s last prophecy, and that those verses align with the last six verses of the chapter, indicates that the Alpha and Omega is using the verses in the beginning to accomplish the final separation of the wise and wicked, as represented by Daniel in chapter twelve, which is now occurring.
Lefètke premye sèz vèsè yo se kòmansman dènye pwofesi Danyèl la, e ke vèsè sa yo aliyen ak dènye sis vèsè chapit la, montre ke Alfa ak Omega a ap sèvi ak vèsè ki nan kòmansman an pou akonpli separasyon final la ant saj yo ak mechan yo, jan sa reprezante pa Danyèl nan chapit douz la, ki ap fèt kounye a.
A third witness to the serious nature of the controversy is the fact that inspiration, through the writings of Sister White, clearly upholds the 1843 pioneer chart, which represents the controversy of Rome in verse fourteen. The beginning controversy represents the ending controversy, and the inspired endorsement of the Millerite understanding of verse fourteen’s “robbers of thy people,” means that if that foundational truth is rejected, it is simultaneously a rejection of the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy. In agreement with the previous two witnesses that emphasize that this controversy occurs just before probation closes is the certainty that the last, or final, deception for those who profess to uphold the Spirit of Prophecy, is a rejection of the Spirit of Prophecy.
Yon twazyèm temwen sou gravite konfli a se lefèt ke enspirasyon, atravè ekriti Sè White yo, soutni klèman tablo pyonye 1843 a, ki reprezante konfli Wòm nan vèsè katòz la. Konfli ki nan kòmansman an reprezante konfli ki nan fen an, e apwobasyon enspire a bay konpreyansyon Milerit la sou “vòlè pèp ou a” nan vèsè katòz la vle di ke, si verite fondamantal sa a rejte, sa se, an menm tan, yon rejè otorite Lespri Pwofesi a. An akò ak de temwen anvan yo, ki mete anfaz sou lefèt ke konfli sa a rive jis anvan tan gras la fini, gen sètitid ke dènye, oswa final, desepsyon an pou sila yo ki deklare yo soutni Lespri Pwofesi a, se yon rejè Lespri Pwofesi a.
“Satan is . . . constantly pressing in the spurious—to lead away from truth. The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God. ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish’ (Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God’s remnant people in the true testimony.
“Satana ap... pouse san rete sa ki fo a—pou detounen moun yo lwen verite a. Dènye anpil twonpri Satana a pral fèt pou rann temwayaj Lespri Bondye a san okenn efè. ‘Lè pa gen vizyon, pèp la peri’ (Pwovèb 29:18). Satana pral aji avèk anpil riz, nan diferan fason e atravè diferan mwayen, pou brannen konfyans rès pèp Bondye a nan vrè temwayaj la.
“There will be a hatred kindled against the Testimonies which is satanic. The workings of Satan will be to unsettle the faith of the churches in them, for this reason: Satan cannot have so clear a track to bring in his deceptions and bind up souls in his delusions if the warnings and reproofs and counsels of the Spirit of God are heeded.” Selected Messages, book 1, 48.
“Pral gen yon rayisman ki pral limen kont Temwayaj yo, yon rayisman ki satanik. Travay Satan yo pral fèt pou boulvèse lafwa legliz yo nan yo, e sa pou rezon sa a: Satan pa kapab gen yon chemen ki tèlman klè pou fè twonpri li yo antre epi mare nanm yo nan awogans li yo si yo koute avètisman yo, repwòch yo, ak konsèy Lespri Bondye a.” Selected Messages, liv 1, 48.
The making of none effect, or the rejection of the authority of the “testimony of the Spirit of God” through the writings of Ellen White, is the “very last deception of Satan.” Sister White wrote that she was “shown” that the “1843 chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and should not be altered.” The previous passage directly associates the rejection of the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy with the vision of the last days, for all the prophets speak most directly of the last days. Therefore when Daniel says in verse fourteen that “the robbers” establish the vision, it is Solomon’s vision of Proverbs 29:18, which says that those who do not have the vision “perish,” and the word “perish” means “to be made naked”.
Rejte otorite “temwayaj Lespri Bondye a” a, oswa fè l vin san efè, atravè ekriti Ellen White yo, se “dènye menm twonpri Satan an.” Sè White te ekri ke yo te “montre” li ke “tablo 1843 a te dirije pa men Seyè a, e li pa t dwe chanje.” Pasaj ki vin anvan an lye dirèkteman rejè otorite Lespri Pwofesi a ak vizyon dènye jou yo, paske tout pwofèt yo pale pi dirèkteman sou dènye jou yo. Se poutèt sa, lè Dànyèl di nan vèsè katòz ke “vòlè yo” etabli vizyon an, se vizyon Salomon an nan Pwovèb 29:18 li ye, ki di ke sila yo ki pa gen vizyon an “peri,” epi mo “peri” a vle di “vin toutouni”.
“Perish” is therefore identifying that those who profess to uphold the Spirit of Prophecy in the last days, but who reject the authority represented therein, become naked, and perish, which is a description of the Laodiceans, who are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” They are counseled to buy “white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear.” If they refuse the counsel they are spewed out of the mouth of the Lord.
Kidonk, “peri” a montre ke moun ki fè konnen yo soutni Lespri Pwofesi a nan dènye jou yo, men ki rejte otorite ki reprezante ladan l lan, vin toutouni, epi yo peri; sa se yon deskripsyon sou Laodiseyen yo, ki “malere, mizerab, pòv, avèg, ak toutouni.” Yo resevwa konsèy pou yo achte “rad blan, pou ou ka abiye, e pou wont toutouni ou a pa parèt.” Si yo refize konsèy la, yo vomi yo soti nan bouch Senyè a.
Thus, we find another witness that this nakedness is manifested just before probation closes. At the soon-coming Sunday law those naked souls will receive the mark of the beast, as they are overthrown, as represented in verse forty-one of Daniel eleven. The reason they will be overthrown is that they rejected the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy, which upholds the 1843 pioneer chart, which represents the foundations of Adventism, and includes the “key” which establishes the vision with the identification that Rome is the power represented as “the robbers of thy people” in verse fourteen.
Konsa, nou jwenn yon lòt temwen ki montre ke toutouni sa a ap parèt jis anvan tan gras la fèmen. Lè lwa dimanch ki pral vini byento a rive, nanm toutouni sa yo pral resevwa mak bèt la, pandan y ap tonbe anba destriksyon, jan sa reprezante nan vèsè karant-e-yonn nan Dànyèl onz. Rezon ki fè yo pral kraze konsa se paske yo te rejte otorite Lespri Pwofesi a, ki soutni tablo pyonye 1843 a, ki reprezante fondasyon Advantis la, epi ki gen ladan li “kle” a ki tabli vizyon an avèk idantifikasyon ke Wòm se pouvwa ki reprezante kòm “vòlè pèp ou a” nan vèsè katòz.
“One thing is certain: those Seventh-day Adventists who take their stand under Satan’s banner will first give up their faith in the warnings and reproofs contained in the Testimonies of God’s spirit.
“Yon bagay sèten: setyèmjou Advantis sa yo ki pran pozisyon yo anba banyè Satan an, pral an premye abandone lafwa yo nan avètisman ak reprimand ki genyen nan Temwayaj Lespri Bondye a.
“The call to greater consecration and holier service is being made, and will continue to be made. Some who are now voicing Satan’s suggestions will come to their senses. There are those in important positions of trust who do not understand the truth for this time. To them the message must be given. If they receive it, Christ will accept them, and will make them workers together with him. But if they refuse to hear the message, they will take their stand under the black banner of the Prince of Darkness.
“Apèl pou yon konsakrasyon ki pi pwofon ak yon sèvis ki pi sen ap fèt, e li pral kontinye fèt. Kèk nan moun ki kounye a ap repete sijesyon Satan yo pral reprann bon sans yo. Gen moun ki nan pozisyon enpòtan kote yo resevwa konfyans, ki pa konprann verite pou tan sa a. Se pou yo yo dwe bay mesaj la. Si yo resevwa li, Kris la pral aksepte yo, e li pral fè yo tounen travayè ansanm avè l. Men, si yo refize tande mesaj la, yo pral pran pozisyon yo anba drapo nwa Prens Tenèb la.
“I am instructed to say that the precious truth for this time is open more and more clearly to human minds. In a special sense men and women are to eat of Christ’s flesh and drink of his blood. There will be a development of the understanding, for the truth is capable of constant expansion. The divine originator of truth will come into closer and still closer communion with those who follow on to know him. As God’s people receive his word as the bread of heaven, they will know that his goings forth are prepared as the morning. They will receive spiritual strength, as the body receives physical strength when food is eaten.” Spalding and Magan, 305, 306.
“Mwen resevwa enstriksyon pou m di ke verite presye pou tan sa a ap louvri pi plis toujou, pi klè toujou, devan lespri imen yo. Nan yon sans espesyal, gason ak fi dwe manje nan chè Kris la epi bwè nan san li. Ap gen yon devlopman nan konpreyansyon an, paske verite a kapab elaji san rete. Otè diven verite a pral antre nan yon kominyon pi pwòch, e toujou pi pwòch, ak moun ki kontinye chèche konnen li. Lè pèp Bondye a resevwa pawòl li tankou pen syèl la, yo pral konnen ke sòti li yo pare tankou maten an. Yo pral resevwa fòs espirityèl, menm jan kò a resevwa fòs fizik lè yo manje manje.” Spalding and Magan, 305, 306.
In our last article we identified that Uriah Smith was the champion of the rebellion of 1863, for it was he who introduced the counterfeit 1863 chart. The chart he produced in 1863 removed the seven times of Leviticus twenty-six from Laodicean Adventism’s prophetic message, thus marking the beginning of the progressive tearing down of the foundations, and also the beginning of the construction of the counterfeit Laodicean Adventist foundation, which is built upon sand. Later in Advent history, his private interpretation of the king of the north, bore the fruits of his prophetic model as people fled the church.
Nan dènye atik nou an, nou te idantifye ke Uriah Smith te chanpyon rebelyon 1863 la, paske se li menm ki te entwodui fo tablo 1863 a. Tablo li te pwodui an 1863 la te retire sèt tan yo nan Levitik venntsis nan mesaj pwofetik Advantis Lawodise a, konsa li te make kòmansman dechoukaj pwogresif fondasyon yo, epi tou kòmansman konstriksyon fo fondasyon Advantis Lawodise a, ki bati sou sab. Pita nan listwa Advantis la, entèpretasyon pèsonèl li sou wa nò a te pote fwi modèl pwofetik li a, pandan moun yo t ap kouri kite legliz la.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7:15–27.
Pran prekosyon kont fo pwofèt, ki vin jwenn nou avèk rad mouton sou yo, men anndan yo se lou mechan k ap devore. N a rekonèt yo dapre fwi yo. Èske moun ranmase rezen sou pikan, oubyen fig frans sou chadwon? Konsa tou, tout bon pyebwa donnen bon fwi; men move pyebwa donnen move fwi. Yon bon pyebwa pa ka donnen move fwi, ni yon move pyebwa pa ka donnen bon fwi. Tout pyebwa ki pa donnen bon fwi, yo koupe l epi yo jete l nan dife. Se poutèt sa, n a rekonèt yo dapre fwi yo. Se pa tout moun ki di m: Seyè, Seyè, k ap antre nan wayòm syèl la; men se moun ki fè volonte Papa m ki nan syèl la. Anpil moun va di m nan jou sa a: Seyè, Seyè, èske nou pa t pwofetize nan non ou? èske nou pa t chase demon nan non ou? epi èske nou pa t fè anpil mèvèy nan non ou? Lè sa a, m ap deklare yo byen klè: Mwen pa t janm konnen nou; wete kò nou devan mwen, nou menm k ap fè mechanste. Se poutèt sa, nenpòt moun ki tande pawòl sa yo mwen di, epi ki mete yo an pratik, m ap konpare l ak yon nonm saj, ki bati kay li sou yon wòch. Lapli tonbe, dlo desann an torrent, van soufle, yo frape kay sa a; men li pa tonbe, paske li te chita sou yon wòch. Men tout moun ki tande pawòl sa yo mwen di, epi ki pa mete yo an pratik, y ap konpare l ak yon nonm sòt, ki bati kay li sou sab. Lapli tonbe, dlo desann an torrent, van soufle, yo frape kay sa a; epi li tonbe; e tonbe li te fè a te anpil anpil. Matye 7:15–27.
The leadership of Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism was passed by in 1989, as assuredly as the leadership of the Jewish church was passed by at the birth of Christ.
Yo te mete sou kote direksyon Advantis Setyèm Jou Laodiseyen an an 1989, menm jan ak tout sètitid yo te mete sou kote direksyon legliz jwif la nan nesans Kris la.
“Men know it not, but the tidings fill heaven with rejoicing. With a deeper and more tender interest the holy beings from the world of light are drawn to the earth. The whole world is brighter for His presence. Above the hills of Bethlehem are gathered an innumerable throng of angels. They wait the signal to declare the glad news to the world. Had the leaders in Israel been true to their trust, they might have shared the joy of heralding the birth of Jesus. But now they are passed by.
“Moun pa konnen sa, men nouvèl la ranpli syèl la ak kè kontan. Avèk yon enterè ki pi pwofon e ki pi sansib, èt ki sen yo soti nan mond limyè a rale vin sou tè a. Tout mond lan vin pi klere poutèt prezans Li. Anwo ti mòn Betleyèm yo, yon foul zanj san konte rasanble. Yo tann siyal la pou yo pwoklame bon nouvèl la bay mond lan. Si dirijan ann Izrayèl yo te fidèl ak responsablite yo te resevwa a, yo ta ka pataje lajwa anonse nesans Jezi. Men kounye a yo mete yo sou kote.
“God declares, ‘I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.’ ‘Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness.’ Isaiah 44:3; Psalm 112:4. To those who are seeking for light, and who accept it with gladness, the bright rays from the throne of God will shine.” The Desire of Ages, 47.
Bondye deklare: “M ap vide dlo sou moun ki swaf, ak kouran dlo sou tè ki sèk.” “Pou moun ki dwat yo, limyè leve nan fènwa a.” Ezayi 44:3; Sòm 112:4. Pou moun k ap chèche limyè, epi ki resevwa li avèk kè kontan, reyon klere ki soti nan twòn Bondye a ap briye sou yo. The Desire of Ages, 47.
The time of the end in the line of Christ was His birth, and it was then that the message which would test that generation was unsealed. 1989 was the time of the end for the candidates who are called to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Uriah Smith’s prophetic model rejected the foundational truths which are represented on the 1843 chart. Those truths were the “Rock.”
Tan fen an nan liy Kris la se te nesans Li, e se lè sa a mesaj ki t ap teste jenerasyon sa a te devwale. Ane 1989 la se te tan fen an pou kandida yo ki rele pou yo pami san karannkat mil la. Modèl pwofetik Uriah Smith la te rejte verite fondamantal yo ki reprezante sou tablo 1843 a. Verite sa yo se te “Wòch” la.
“The warning has come: Nothing is to be allowed to come in that will disturb the foundation of the faith upon which we have been building ever since the message came in 1842, 1843, and 1844. I was in this message, and ever since I have been standing before the world, true to the light that God has given us. We do not propose to take our feet off the platform on which they were placed as day by day we sought the Lord with earnest prayer, seeking for light. Do you think that I could give up the light that God has given me? It is to be as the Rock of Ages. It has been guiding me ever since it was given.” Review and Herald, April 14, 1903.
“Avètisman an rive: Pa gen anyen ki dwe pèmèt antre ki ta vin boulvèse fondasyon lafwa a sou ki n ap bati depi lè mesaj la te vini an 1842, 1843, ak 1844. Mwen te nan mesaj sa a, e depi lè sa a mwen kanpe devan mond lan, fidèl ak limyè Bondye ban nou an. Nou pa gen entansyon retire pye nou sou platfòm kote yo te mete yo pandan, jou apre jou, nou t ap chèche Seyè a ak lapriyè sensè, n ap chèche limyè. Èske nou panse mwen ta ka abandone limyè Bondye ban mwen an? Li dwe tankou Wòch Laj yo. Li ap gide m depi lè li te ban mwen an.” Review and Herald, 14 avril 1903.
On September 11, 2001 the latter rain began to sprinkle as the winds representing Islam of the third woe were released, and the Patriot Act marked a transition from English to Roman law prophetically announcing that the flood of the papal power had begun to flow. The final testing process for the house of Laodicean Adventism began, and “the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it”.
Nan dat 11 septanm 2001, lapli ta a te kòmanse vide ti gout pandan van yo, ki reprezante Islam twazyèm malè a, te lage; epi Patriot Act la te make yon tranzisyon soti nan lwa anglè pou rive nan lwa women, sa ki te anonse pwofetikman ke inondasyon pouvwa papal la te kòmanse koule. Dènye pwosesis eprèv la pou kay Advantis lawodiseyen an te kòmanse, epi “lapli a desann, e inondasyon yo vini, e van yo soufle, e yo frape kay sa a; epi li tonbe: e gwo te tonbe li a”.
The message that the mighty angel announced at that time identified that all nations had drunk the wine of Babylon, and the counterfeit methodology of papal Rome and apostate Protestantism which had been progressively adopted since the rebellion of 1863, is represented by the wine (doctrine) of Babylon.
Mesaj zanj pwisan an te anonse nan epòk sa a te fè konnen ke tout nasyon yo te bwè diven Babilòn nan, e metodoloji fo Wòm papal la ansanm ak Pwotestantis apostazi a, ki te adopte piti piti depi rebelyon 1863 la, reprezante pa diven (doktrin) Babilòn nan.
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Revelation 18:1–3.
Epi apre bagay sa yo, mwen wè yon lòt zanj desann sot nan syèl la, li te gen gwo pouvwa; e tè a te klere ak glwa li. Epi li rele byen fò ak yon vwa pwisan, li di: Gran Babilòn tonbe, li tonbe, e li vin tounen kay demon yo, retrèt tout move lespri, ak kaj tout zwazo ki pa pwòp e ki rayisab. Paske tout nasyon yo bwè nan diven kòlè fònikasyon li a; wa latè yo fè fònikasyon avè l, epi machann latè yo vin rich grasa abondans delis li yo. Revelasyon 18:1–3.
At the disappointment of July 18, 2020, the testing process was over for the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, and the testing process of those who were the candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand began. When Michael began to awaken those candidates in July of 2023, the message, represented as oil in the parable of Adventism was again unsealed. Whether post September 11, 2001 or post July 2023, there was an outpouring of the oil, and the message that was unsealed in July 2023, when fully developed, is the Midnight Cry message of the parable.
Nan desepsyon 18 jiyè 2020 a, pwosesis tès la te fini pou legliz Advantis Setyèm Jou Lawodise a, epi pwosesis tès sila yo ki te kandida pou pami san karannkat mil yo te kòmanse. Lè Mikaèl te kòmanse reveye kandida sa yo an jiyè 2023, mesaj la, ki reprezante kòm lwil nan parabòl Advantis la, te debloke ankò. Kit apre 11 septanm 2001, kit apre jiyè 2023, te gen yon vide lwil la, epi mesaj ki te debloke an jiyè 2023 a, lè li fin devlope nèt, se mesaj Rèl a Minwi a nan parabòl la.
It begins in the testing time as the message for the wise and foolish virgins, but it swells to the loud cry message. That message arrives at the soon-coming Sunday law, and when it arrives the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen calls God’s other flock out of Babylon.
Li kòmanse nan tan eprèv la kòm mesaj pou vyèj saj yo ak vyèj sòt yo, men li vin pran fòs pou l tounen mesaj gran rèl la. Mesaj sa a rive nan lwa dimanch k ap vini byento a, epi lè li rive, dezyèm vwa Revelasyon chapit dizwit la rele lòt twoupo Bondye a soti Babilòn.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Revelation 18:4, 5.
Epi mwen tande yon lòt vwa soti nan syèl la, ki t ap di: Soti nan mitan li, pèp mwen an, pou nou pa patisipe nan peche li yo, epi pou nou pa resevwa nan flewo li yo. Paske peche li yo rive jouk nan syèl la, e Bondye sonje mechanste li yo. Revelasyon 18:4, 5.
The first voice of verse one through three announced the arrival of a testing time, and the sprinkling of the latter rain then began. The second voice identifies the end of that testing time, and announces the testing time for God’s other flock that is still in Babylon.
Premye vwa vèsè youn rive twa a te anonse rive yon tan eprèv, epi lè sa a, awozaj lapli dènye a te kòmanse. Dezyèm vwa a idantifye fen tan eprèv sa a, epi li anonse tan eprèv la pou lòt twoupo Bondye a ki toujou nan Babilòn.
“So in the last work for the warning of the world, two distinct calls are made to the churches. The second angel’s message is, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’ And in the loud cry of the third angel’s message a voice is heard from heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, my people.’” Review and Herald, December 6, 1892.
“Konsa, nan dènye travay la pou avètisman mond lan, yo fè de apèl diferan bay legliz yo. Mesaj dezyèm zanj lan se: ‘Babylòn tonbe, li tonbe, gwo vil sa a, paske li fè tout nasyon bwè diven kòlè fònikasyon li a.’ Epi, nan gwo rèl mesaj twazyèm zanj lan, yo tande yon vwa soti nan syèl la k ap di: ‘Soti ladan l, pèp mwen an.’” Review and Herald, 6 desanm 1892.
It is during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that Paul’s strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians is accomplished. Whether it was the testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church that began on September 11, 2001 or the testing of the virgins who experienced the disappointment of July 18, 2020, the testing occurs during an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That outpouring represents a testing message.
Se pandan efizyon Sentespri a ke gwo awogans Pòl pale de li nan 2 Tesalonisyen yo akonpli. Kit se te tès legliz Laodise Setyèm Jou Advantis la ki te kòmanse nan 11 septanm 2001, oswa tès vyèj yo ki te fè eksperyans desepsyon 18 jiyè 2020 la, tès la fèt pandan yon efizyon Sentespri a. Efizyon sa a reprezante yon mesaj tès.
“The anointed ones standing by the Lord of the whole earth, have the position once given to Satan as covering cherub. By the holy beings surrounding his throne, the Lord keeps up a constant communication with the inhabitants of the earth. The golden oil represents the grace with which God keeps the lamps of believers supplied, that they shall not flicker and go out. Were it not that this holy oil is poured from heaven in the messages of God’s Spirit, the agencies of evil would have entire control over men.
“Moun Bondye chwazi pou resevwa onksyon yo, ki kanpe bò kote Seyè tout latè a, gen pozisyon ki te yon lè bay Satan kòm zanj cheriben k ap kouvri a. Pa mwayen èt sen yo ki antoure twòn li a, Seyè a kenbe yon kominikasyon san rete ak abitan latè yo. Lwil lò a reprezante gras Bondye bay pou kenbe lanp kwayan yo toujou plen, pou yo pa tranble epi etenn. Si se pa t paske yo vide lwil sen sa a soti nan syèl la atravè mesaj Lespri Bondye a, ajan mechanste yo t ap gen kontwòl nèt sou moun.”
“God is dishonored when we do not receive the communications which he sends us. Thus we refuse the golden oil which he would pour into our souls to be communicated to those in darkness. When the call shall come, ‘Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him,’ those who have not received the holy oil, who have not cherished the grace of Christ in their hearts, will find, like the foolish virgins, that they are not ready to meet their Lord. They have not, in themselves, the power to obtain the oil, and their lives are wrecked. But if God’s Holy Spirit is asked for, if we plead, as did Moses, ‘Show me thy glory,’ the love of God will be shed abroad in our hearts. Through the golden pipes, the golden oil will be communicated to us. ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.’ By receiving the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, God’s children shine as lights in the world.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.
“Bondye pa jwenn onè lè nou pa resevwa mesaj li voye ba nou yo. Konsa nou rejte lwil an lò li ta vide nan nanm nou pou yo ka kominike l bay sa yo ki nan fènwa. Lè apèl la va fèt, ‘Men, msye marye a ap vini; soti al kontre l,’ moun ki pa resevwa lwil ki sen an, ki pa nouri gras Kris la nan kè yo, va jwenn, menm jan ak vyèj sòt yo, yo pa pare pou rankontre Seyè yo. Yo pa gen, nan tèt pa yo, pouvwa pou jwenn lwil la, e lavi yo vin kraze. Men si yo mande Sentespri Bondye a, si nou sipliye, menm jan Moyiz te fè a, ‘Montre m glwa ou,’ lanmou Bondye va gaye nan kè nou. Atravè tiyo an lò yo, lwil an lò a va kominike ban nou. ‘Se pa avèk fòs, ni ak pisans, men se avèk Lespri mwen, di Seyè ki gen tout lame yo.’ Lè pitit Bondye yo resevwa reyon klere Solèy Jistis la, yo briye tankou limyè nan mond lan.” Review and Herald, 20 jiyè 1897.
The sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began on September 11, 2001, and it represents two testing periods. The first is the final testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, and the second is for those who are the subjects of the parable of the ten virgins. To be either a wise or a foolish virgin requires that all the virgins experience a tarrying time.
Tan seleman san karant-kat mil la te kòmanse 11 septanm 2001, e li reprezante de peryòd eprèv. Premye a se dènye eprèv Legliz Advantis Setyèm Jou Lawodise a, epi dezyèm nan se pou moun ki sijè parabòl dis vyèj yo. Pou yon moun ka swa yon vyèj saj oswa yon vyèj sòt, li nesesè pou tout vyèj yo pase atravè yon tan reta.
In Millerite history the tarrying time began with the arrival of the second angel, which occurred at the first disappointment. At that point the Protestants, who were God’s former covenant chosen people were passed by. On July 18, 2020 the former covenant chosen people were passed by, and the testing process that occurred during the tarrying time in the Millerite history began to be repeated. The message of the Midnight Cry was then developed in Millerite history, as it is currently being developed. When it fully arrived at the Exeter Camp meeting it was manifested who had the message (oil) and who did not. The former covenant chosen people of either history is the first to be tested and passed by.
Nan istwa Milerit la, tan reta a te kòmanse avèk rive dezyèm zanj lan, sa ki te fèt nan premye desepsyon an. Nan pwen sa a, Pwotestan yo, ki te ansyen pèp Bondye te chwazi anba ansyen alyans lan, te pase sou kote. Nan 18 jiyè 2020, ansyen pèp Bondye te chwazi anba ansyen alyans lan te pase sou kote, epi pwosesis eprèv ki te fèt pandan tan reta a nan istwa Milerit la te kòmanse repete. Lè sa a, mesaj Rèl Minwi a te devlope nan istwa Milerit la, menm jan li ap devlope kounye a. Lè li te rive nèt nan reyinyon kan Exeter la, sa te manifeste kiyès ki te gen mesaj la (lwil) epi kiyès ki pa t genyen li. Ansyen pèp Bondye te chwazi anba ansyen alyans lan, nan youn oswa lòt istwa a, se premye moun yo teste epi yo pase sou kote.
“‘A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you.’ I believe with all my heart that the Spirit of God is being withdrawn from the world, and those who have had great light and opportunities and have not improved them, will be the first to be left. They have grieved away the Spirit of God. The present activity of Satan in working upon hearts, and upon churches and nations should startle every student of prophecy. The end is near. Let our churches arise. Let the converting power of God be experienced in the heart of the individual members, and then we shall see the deep moving of the Spirit of God. Mere forgiveness of sin is not the sole result of the death of Jesus. He made the infinite sacrifice not only that sin might be removed, but that human nature might be restored, rebeautified, reconstructed from its ruins, and made fit for the presence of God.” Selected Messages, book 3, 154.
“‘M’a ban nou yon kè nouvo, epi m’a mete yon lespri nouvo anndan nou.’ Mwen kwè ak tout kè m ke Lespri Bondye ap retire sou latè, epi moun ki te resevwa gwo limyè ak anpil okazyon, men ki pa t fè bon itilizasyon yo, se yo menm k’ap premye rete san li. Yo te fè Lespri Bondye a lapenn jouk li kite yo. Aktivite Satan ap fè kounye a sou kè moun, sou legliz yo ak sou nasyon yo, ta dwe sezi tout etidyan pwofesi. Fen an toupre. Se pou legliz nou yo leve. Se pou chak manm pèsonèlman fè eksperyans pouvwa Bondye ki konvèti nan kè li; epi lè sa a n’a wè gwo mouvman pwofon Lespri Bondye a. Senp padon peche pa sèl rezilta lanmò Jezi. Li te fè sakrifis enfini an, pa sèlman pou peche te ka retire, men tou pou nati imen te ka restore, re-anbeli, rebati soti nan kraze li yo, epi vin apwopriye pou prezans Bondye.” Selected Messages, liv 3, 154.
In either testing period, those who rejected the message that is unsealed receive Paul’s strong delusion.
Nan youn oswa lòt peryòd eprèv la, moun ki te rejte mesaj ki dekache a resevwa gwo awogans Pòl la.
“It is a fearful thing to treat lightly the truth which has convinced our understanding and touched our hearts. We cannot with impunity reject the warnings which God in mercy sends us. A message was sent from heaven to the world in Noah’s day, and the salvation of men depended upon the manner in which they treated that message. Because they rejected the warning, the Spirit of God was withdrawn from the sinful race, and they perished in the waters of the flood. In the time of Abraham, mercy ceased to plead with the guilty inhabitants of Sodom, and all but Lot with his wife and two daughters were consumed by the fire sent down from heaven. So in the days of Christ. The Son of God declared to the unbelieving Jews of that generation, ‘Your house is left unto you desolate.’ Looking down to the last days, the same infinite power declares, concerning those who ‘received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ ‘For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’ As they reject the teachings of His Word, God withdraws His Spirit, and leaves them to the deceptions which they love.” Early Writings, 46.
“Se yon bagay ki terib pou nou trete ak lejè verite ki te konvenk konpreyansyon nou epi ki te touche kè nou. Nou pa kapab san pinisyon rejte avètisman Bondye, nan mizèrikòd li, voye ban nou yo. Yo te voye yon mesaj soti nan syèl la bay lemonn nan jou Noe yo, epi delivrans lèzòm te depann de jan yo te trete mesaj sa a. Paske yo te rejte avètisman an, Lespri Bondye te retire sou ras pechè a, epi yo te peri nan dlo delij la. Nan tan Abraram, mizèrikòd te sispann sipliye abitan koupab Sodòm yo, epi tout moun, eksepte Lòt ansanm ak madanm li ak de pitit fi li yo, te devore nan dife ki te desann soti nan syèl la. Konsa tou nan jou Kris yo. Pitit Bondye a te deklare bay Jwif enkredil jenerasyon sa a: ‘Kay nou kite pou nou tounen yon dezolasyon.’ Lè l t ap gade pi devan sou dènye jou yo, menm pisans enfini sa a deklare, konsènan sila yo ki ‘pa t resevwa lanmou verite a pou yo te kapab sove,’ ‘Se poutèt sa Bondye va voye ba yo yon gwo awogans, pou yo kwè manti a; pou yo tout ka kondane, yo menm ki pa t kwè verite a, men ki te pran plezi nan lenjistis.’ Lè yo rejte ansèyman Pawòl li a, Bondye retire Lespri li, epi li lage yo anba twonpri yo renmen yo.” Early Writings, 46.
