We were considering Jeremiah chapter fifty in the previous article, and in the passage the judgment upon Babylon, that begins at the soon coming Sunday law in the United States and ends with the wrath of God. The executive judgment is the day of the Lord’s vengeance that was represented by the destruction of Jerusalem in the year 70 AD. The destruction of Jerusalem accomplished by Rome in 70 AD, had been typified by the destruction of Jerusalem carried out by Nebuchadnezzar. Together they provided two witnesses of the Executive Judgment of the whore of Tyre, who is also the whore of Revelation chapter seventeen.

Tuvikengwe Jeremia sura ya hamsini katika makala iliyotangulia, na katika kifungu hicho hukumu juu ya Babeli huanza katika sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja upesi nchini Marekani na kuishia katika ghadhabu ya Mungu. Hukumu ya utekelezaji ni siku ya kisasi cha Bwana, ambayo iliwakilishwa na kuangamizwa kwa Yerusalemu katika mwaka wa 70 BK. Kuangamizwa kwa Yerusalemu kulikotekelezwa na Rumi mwaka wa 70 BK kulikuwa kumefananishwa na kuangamizwa kwa Yerusalemu kulikofanywa na Nebukadneza. Kwa pamoja, hayo yalitoa mashahidi wawili wa Hukumu ya Utekelezaji ya kahaba wa Tiro, ambaye pia ndiye kahaba wa Ufunuo sura ya kumi na saba.

Jeremiah informs us that when the Lord’s vengeance is accomplished upon modern Babylon, beginning with the soon-coming Sunday law, that “In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.” In those days, the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand will have already been accomplished.

Yeremia atutendereza nti bwe okuwalana kwa Mukama kulituukirizibwa ku Babulooni ey’omulembe guno, nga kutandikira ku tteeka lya Ssande erigenda okujja mangu, nti, “Mu nnaku ezo, ne mu biro ebyo, bw’ayogera Mukama, obutali butuukirivu bwa Isiraeri bulinoonyezebwa, so tebulibaawo; n’ebibi bya Yuda, nabyo tebirirabika: kubanga ndibasonyiwa be nkuma.” Mu nnaku ezo, okuteekebwako akabonero kw’abo emitwalo kikumi mu obunaana mu enkumi nnya kunaabanga kumaze dda okutuukirizibwa.

“What are you doing, brethren, in the great work of preparation? Those who are uniting with the world are receiving the worldly mold and preparing for the mark of the beast. Those who are distrustful of self, who are humbling themselves before God and purifying their souls by obeying the truth these are receiving the heavenly mold and preparing for the seal of God in their foreheads. When the decree goes forth and the stamp is impressed, their character will remain pure and spotless for eternity.” Testimonies, volume 5, 216.

“Ndzi endla yini, vamakwerhu, entirhweni lowukulu wa ku lunghekela? Lava va hlanganaka ni misava va amukela xivumbeko xa misava, naswona va tilunghiselela mfungho wa xivandzana. Lava va nga titshembiki, lava va titsongahataka emahlweni ka Xikwembu naswona va basisa mimoya ya vona hi ku yingisa ntiyiso, vona va amukela xivumbeko xa le tilweni naswona va tilunghiselela xikombiso xa Xikwembu emimombeni ya vona. Loko xileriso xi huma naswona mfungho wu kandziyisiwa, vumunhu bya vona byi ta tshama byi basile, byi nga ri na xivati hilaha ku nga heriki.” Testimonies, volume 5, 216.

The executive judgment begins with the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, who calls men and women to flee from Babylon, and Jeremiah says, “their day is come, the time of their visitation. The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance of his temple. Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her.” Her judgment is accomplished by the “archers.” The first reference to an archer in the Scriptures is concerning Ishmael.

Ijulungi lya kutwala butongole libandila ku lwiigi lwa kubili olwa Okusukululwa essuula ya kkumi n’omunaana, oluyita abasajja n’abakazi okudduka okuva e Babulooni, era Yeremiya agamba nti, “olunaku lwabwe lutuuse, ekiseera eky’okubalambula. Eddoboozi ly’abo abadduka ne bawona okuva mu nsi ya Babulooni, okulangirira mu Sayuuni okuwalana eggwanga kwa Mukama Katonda waffe, okuwalana eggwanga okw’Yeekaalu ye. Muyite abalasi b’emitego okulumba Babulooni: mmwe mwenna abakunya omutego, musuulewo enkambi okugyetooloola; waleme kubaawo n’omu awona: musasule ng’ebikolwa bye bwe biri; nga byonna by’akoze, bwe mutyo mumukolere.” Omusango gwe gutuukirizibwa “abalasi b’emitego.” Okusooka okwogerwako omusiimi w’omutego mu Byawandiikibwa kwe kuli ku Isimaeri.

And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. Genesis 21:17–20.

Nkulunkulu walizwa izwi lomfana; ingelosi kaNkulunkulu yabiza kuHagari isezulwini, yathi kuye: “Yini ekukhathazayo, Hagari? Ungesabi, ngokuba uNkulunkulu ulizwile izwi lomfana lapho ekhona. Sukuma, uphakamise umfana, umbambe ngesandla sakho; ngokuba ngiyakumenza isizwe esikhulu.” UNkulunkulu wase evula amehlo akhe, wabona umthombo wamanzi; wahamba wagcwalisa isikhwama ngamanzi, wamuphuzisa umfana. UNkulunkulu waba kanye nomfana; wakhula, wahlala ehlane, waba ngumcibisheli. Genesise 21:17–20.

The “hour of the great earthquake” in Revelation eleven identifies the beginning of the executive judgment upon the whore of Rome, that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States. In the “hour” “the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded.” The third woe, is the seventh trumpet. It is the archers of Islam that are employed to bring His judgment upon those who enforce the mark of papal authority (Sunday worship), and persecute those who uphold the mark of God’s authority (Sabbath worship).

“Isaa ya tetemeko kuu la nchi” katika Ufunuo kumi na moja hutambulisha mwanzo wa hukumu ya utekelezaji juu ya kahaba wa Rumi, ambayo huanza katika sheria ya Jumapili inayokaribia kuja upesi nchini Marekani. Katika “saa” hiyo, “ole wa tatu waja upesi. Kisha malaika wa saba akapiga tarumbeta.” Ole wa tatu ni tarumbeta ya saba. Ni wapiga mishale wa Uislamu wanaotumiwa kuleta hukumu Yake juu ya wale wanaotekeleza alama ya mamlaka ya upapa (ibada ya Jumapili), na kuwatesa wale wanaoshikilia alama ya mamlaka ya Mungu (ibada ya Sabato).

In Luke chapter twenty-one Jesus in answering the disciple’s questions about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple, provides an historical narrative that also represents the history of the last days. He references the “days of vengeance,” which was an essential prophetic attribute of His ministry as the Messiah, which He identified in His opening announcement of His ministry by reading from the prophet Isaiah to the church in Nazareth. The announcement at Nazareth, and the passage from Isaiah represented not only His ministry, but the message of His disciples, and more specifically the work and ministry of the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

لوکای بەشی بیست و یەکدا، عیسا لە وەڵامدانەوەی پرسیارەکانی قوتابییەکان سەبارەت بە وێرانبوونی ئۆرشەلیم و پەرستگاکە، گێڕانەوەیەکی مێژوویی پێشکەش دەکات کە هەروەها مێژووی ڕۆژانی دواخریش نیشان دەدات. ئەو ئاماژە بە «ڕۆژانی تۆڵەستاندن» دەکات، کە تایبەتمەندییەکی پێغەمبەرانەی بنەڕەتیی خزمەتگوزاریی ئەو وەک مەسیح بوو، ئەوەی کە لە ڕاگەیاندنی سەرەتایی خزمەتگوزاریی خۆیدا ناساندی، کاتێک لە پێغەمبەر ئیشعیا بۆ کڵێسای نازارەت خوێندەوە. ئەو ڕاگەیاندنەی نازارەت، و ئەو پارچەیە لە ئیشعیا، تەنها خزمەتگوزاریی ئەویان پێشاندەدا نەبوو، بەڵکو پەیامی قوتابییەکانی، و بە شێوەیەکی تایبەتتر کار و خزمەتگوزاریی بزووتنەوەی سەد و چل و چوار هەزارەکەش پێشاندەدا.

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations. And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves. For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them. For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the Lord hath blessed. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. Isaiah 61:1–11.

روحِ خداوندِ قادر بر من است، زیرا خداوند مرا مسح کرده است تا به حلیمان بشارت دهم؛ او مرا فرستاده است تا دل‌شکستگان را التیام بخشم، و آزادی را برای اسیران، و گشایشِ زندان را برای بندیان اعلام کنم؛ تا سالِ مقبولِ خداوند و روزِ انتقامِ خدای ما را ندا دهم؛ تا همهٔ ماتمیان را تسلی بخشم؛ تا برای ماتمیانِ صهیون مقرر سازم که به ایشان به‌جای خاکستر، زیبایی، و به‌جای ماتم، روغنِ شادی، و به‌جای روحِ افسردگی، ردای ستایش عطا شود؛ تا ایشان درختانِ عدالت، غرسِ خداوند، خوانده شوند، تا او جلال یابد. و ایشان ویرانه‌های کهن را بنا خواهند کرد، و خرابه‌های پیشین را برپا خواهند ساخت، و شهرهای ویران، یعنی خرابی‌های نسل‌های بسیار را مرمت خواهند نمود. و بیگانگان خواهند ایستاد و رمه‌های شما را خواهند چرانید، و پسرانِ اجنبی شخم‌زنندگان و باغبانانِ تاکستان‌های شما خواهند بود. اما شما کاهنانِ خداوند نامیده خواهید شد؛ مردم شما را خادمانِ خدای ما خواهند خواند؛ دولتِ امت‌ها را خواهید خورد، و در جلالِ ایشان فخر خواهید نمود. به‌عوضِ شرمساریِ شما، نصیبِ مضاعف خواهد بود؛ و به‌عوضِ رسوایی، از بهرهٔ خویش شادی خواهند کرد؛ ازاین‌رو در سرزمینِ خود دو چندان را به میراث خواهند برد؛ شادیِ جاودانه از آنِ ایشان خواهد بود. زیرا من، خداوند، عدالت را دوست می‌دارم، و غارت را در قربانیِ سوختنی مکروه می‌شمارم؛ و کارِ ایشان را در راستی استوار خواهم ساخت، و با ایشان عهدی جاودانه خواهم بست. و نسلِ ایشان در میانِ امت‌ها معروف خواهد شد، و ذریّتِ ایشان در میانِ قوم‌ها؛ هر که ایشان را ببیند، ایشان را خواهد شناخت که همان نسلی هستند که خداوند برکت داده است. من در خداوند بسیار شادمان خواهم شد، جانِ من در خدایم وجد خواهد نمود؛ زیرا او مرا به جامه‌های نجات ملبّس ساخته، و ردای عدالت را بر من پوشانیده است، همچون دامادی که خویشتن را به زیور می‌آراید، و همچون عروسی که خویشتن را به جواهراتِ خویش می‌آراید. زیرا چنان‌که زمین غنچهٔ خود را می‌رویاند، و باغ آنچه را در آن کاشته شده است می‌شکوفاند، همچنین خداوندِ قادر عدالت و ستایش را در برابرِ همهٔ امت‌ها خواهد رویانید. اشعیا ۶۱:‏۱–۱۱.

The one hundred and forty-four thousand who are sealed in Ezekiel chapter nine, are those who are mourning over the sins in the church and in the world. “The acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God,” is when those who mourn in Zion are comforted, and become “trees of righteousness” in order to “glorify the Lord.” They glorify the Lord, for “in those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none.” Those who mourn are those who have been sealed and they are those who “shall build the old wastes,” who “shall raise up the former desolations, and” who “shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.” They shall “be named the Priests of the Lord,” and men shall call them “the Ministers of our God.”

Ezekieli mlango wa tisa wale mia moja na arobaini na nne elfu waliotiwa muhuri ni wale wanaoomboleza kwa sababu ya dhambi zilizo kanisani na ulimwenguni. “Mwaka wa Bwana uliokubaliwa, na siku ya kisasi cha Mungu wetu,” ndiyo wakati wale wanaoomboleza katika Sayuni wanapofarijiwa, nao huwa “miti ya haki” ili “wamtukuze Bwana.” Wamtukuza Bwana, kwa maana “katika siku zile, na wakati ule, asema Bwana, uovu wa Israeli utatafutwa, wala hautakuwapo.” Wanaoomboleza ndio wale waliotiwa muhuri, nao ndio wale “watakaojenga mahali palipoharibika pa kale,” “watakaoinua maangamizo ya zamani, na” “watakaotengeneza miji iliyoharibika, maangamizo ya vizazi vingi.” Wao “watatajwa kuwa Makuhani wa Bwana,” na watu watawaita “Watumishi wa Mungu wetu.”

The righteousness of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is to “spring forth before all nations,” when they are lifted up as an ensign in the hour of the great earthquake. Their righteousness is caused progressively, for it is “as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth.” The sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began at the arrival of the latter rain on September 1, 2001. It is then that the buds of earth were brought forth. Isaiah identifies when the buds spring forth.

Vakaliliwa ni vulaqaqa ni le dua na drau ka vasagavulu ka va na udolu me “tubutubu mai e matadra na veimatanitu kecega,” ni ra sa laveti cake me kedra ivakatakilakila ena gauna ni uneune levu. Na nodra yalododonu sa vakavuna tiko vakamalua, ni sa kaya, “me vaka sa vakatubura mai na nona kuro na vuravura, ka me vaka sa vakatubura mai na were na ka sa kaburaki kina; ena vakakina sa na vakatubura mai o Jiova na Kalou na yalododonu kei na vakavinavinaka.” Na vakadeitaki ni le dua na drau ka vasagavulu ka va na udolu a tekivu ena nona yaco mai na uca ni muri ena ika 1 ni Seviteba, 2001.

In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Isaiah 27:8, 9.

بە پیمانە، کاتێک دەردەچێت، لەگەڵیدا مشتومڕ دەکەیت؛ ئەو لە ڕۆژی بای ڕۆژهەڵاتدا بای توندی خۆی دەوەستێنێت. بۆیە بەەمە تاوانی یاقوب پاک دەکرێتەوە؛ و هەموو بەرهەمی لابردنی گوناهی ئەویش ئەمەیە: کاتێک هەموو بەردەکانی قوربانگاکە وەک بەردی گچ هەڵدەشکێنرێن و دابەش دەکرێن، دارستانە پیرۆزەکان و وێنەکان ڕاناوەستن. یەشعیا 27:8، 9.

In “the day of the east wind” which is His “rough wind” that “He stayeth,” the “shooting forth” of the buds will begin when the rain is “measured.” “Stayeth” means restrained. When the four winds are restrained by the four angels of Revelation chapter seven, the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand begins. At that time the latter rain begins to “sprinkle” in moderation, for the word “measure” in the verse means moderation. At the beginning of the period of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand the latter rain is measured, and at the end of the period it is without measure.

“Hela ya mumu wa esti” yina kele “mpeve na Yandi ya ngolo” yina “Yandi ke kangaka,” “kubasika” ya makonko ya bintuntu ta banda ntangu mvula “me telama na kiteso.” “Ke kangaka” zola kutuba kukangama to kukangulama. Ntangu bampeve iya me kangama na baanzelu iya ya Kusonga kapu sambwadi, kutulama ya kidimbu na zulu ya bankama mosi na makumi iya na iya ya mafunda ta banda. Na ntangu yina mvula ya nsuka ta banda “kumwangisa” malembe-malembe na kiteso, sambu mpova “kiteso” na verse yina zola kutuba malembe to kukeba na kiteso. Na ebandeli ya ntangu ya kutulama ya kidimbu na zulu ya bankama mosi na makumi iya na iya ya mafunda, mvula ya nsuka ke telama na kiteso, mpe na nsuka ya ntangu yina yo ke vanda diaka ve na kiteso.

“The great outpouring of the Spirit of God, which lightens the whole earth with his glory, will not come until we have an enlightened people, that know by experience what it means to be laborers together with God. When we have entire, whole-hearted consecration to the service of Christ, God will recognize the fact by an outpouring of his Spirit without measure; but this will not be while the largest portion of the church are not laborers together with God. God cannot pour out his Spirit when selfishness and self-indulgence are so manifest; when a spirit prevails that, if put into words, would express that answer of Cain,—‘Am I my brother’s keeper?’ If the truth for this time, if the signs that are thickening on every hand, that testify that the end of all things is at hand, are not-sufficient to arouse the sleeping energy of those who profess to know the truth, then darkness proportionate to the light which has been shining will overtake these souls. There is not the semblance of an excuse for their indifference that they will be able to present to God in the great day of final reckoning. There will be no reason to offer as to why they did not live and walk and work in the light of the sacred truth of the word of God, and thus reveal to a sin-darkened world, through their conduct, their sympathy, and their zeal, that the power and reality of the gospel could not be controverted.” Review and Herald, July 21, 1896.

“Xwedêkirina mezin a Ruhê Xwedê, ya ku bi rûmeta wî tevahiya erdê ronî dike, heta ku em ne xelkekî ronakbûyî bibin, ku bi ezmûnê dizanin hevkarên Xwedê bûn tê çi maneyê, nayê. Dema ku em bi tevahî û bi dilê tam xwe ji bo xizmeta Mesîhê terxan bikin, Xwedê wê vê rastiyê bi xwedêkirina Ruhê xwe bê pîvan nas bike; lê ev wê nebe dema ku beşa herî mezin a dêrê ne hevkarên Xwedê bin. Xwedê nikare Ruhê xwe bişîne dema ku xweperestî û xweşbazî ew qas aşkera ne; dema ku ruhêk serdest dibe ku, heke bi gotinan were îfade kirin, wê bersiva Qayînê bide—‘Ma ez parêzvanê birayê xwe me?’ Heke rastiya ji bo vê demê, heke nîşanên ku li her alî zêde dibin û şahidî didin ku dawiya hemû tiştan nêzîk e, ne bes bin ku hêza razayî ya wan kesên ku îddîa dikin rastiyê nas dikin hişyar bikin, wê hingê tariya li gorî ronahiya ku dibiriqî bûye dê van canan bigire. Ji bo bêferqiya wan tu şiklêk ji behaneyê tune ye ku ewê di roja mezin a hesabdayîna dawî de bikaribin li ber Xwedê pêşkêş bikin. Tu sedem tune ye ku ew pêşkêş bikin ka çima ew di ronahiya rastiya pîroz a peyva Xwedê de ne jiyan, ne meşiyan û ne xebitîn, û bi vî awayî, bi reftar, hemdardiya xwe û bi qeyreta xwe, ji bo cîhanek ku bi guneh tarî bûye eşkere nekirin ku hêz û rastiya Încîlê nayê red kirin.” Review and Herald, July 21, 1896.

The testing period of the latter rain and sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand begins with the measuring of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit for the wheat and tares have reached the time of the harvest. The rain brings both classes to maturity, then at the end of the testing period the wheat and tares are separated, and the wheat will then “know by experience what it means to be laborers together with God” They will then “have entire, whole-hearted consecration to the service of Christ, God will recognize the fact by an outpouring of his Spirit without measure.”

The “day of the rough east wind” arrived on September 11, 2001, and Habakkuk’s debate over the counterfeit peace and safety message of the latter rain message, as opposed to the message identifying the day of God’s vengeance, began. At that point the plants, both wheat and tares began to bud and bring forth the fruit they would manifest at the judgment of the soon-coming Sunday law.

“उग्र पूर्वी पवन का दिन” 11 सितंबर, 2001 को आ पहुँचा, और हबक्कूक का विवाद—अंतिम वर्षा के संदेश के उस जाली “शांति और सुरक्षा” संदेश के विषय में, जो परमेश्वर के प्रतिशोध के दिन की पहचान कराने वाले संदेश के विपरीत था—आरम्भ हुआ। उसी समय पौधे, अर्थात् गेहूँ और जंगली जई दोनों, कली निकालने और उस फल को उत्पन्न करने लगे जिसे वे शीघ्र आने वाले रविवार के विधान के न्याय में प्रकट करेंगे।

“Again, these parables teach that there is to be no probation after the judgment. When the work of the gospel is completed, there immediately follows the separation between the good and the evil, and the destiny of each class is forever fixed.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 123.

“ម្តងទៀត ពាក្យប្រៀបប្រដូចទាំងនេះបង្រៀនថា នឹងមិនមានពេលសាកល្បងណាមួយទៀត បន្ទាប់ពីការជំនុំជម្រះឡើយ។ នៅពេលកិច្ចការនៃដំណឹងល្អត្រូវបានបញ្ចប់ នោះការញែកចេញរវាងមនុស្សល្អ និងមនុស្សអាក្រក់នឹងកើតមានឡើងភ្លាមៗ ហើយវាសនារបស់មនុស្សក្នុងក្រុមនីមួយៗ ត្រូវបានកំណត់ជាស្ថាពរជារៀងរហូត។” Christ’s Object Lessons, 123.

One class bows to the sun in Ezekiel chapter eight, and the other receives the seal of God in Ezekiel chapter nine. In Luke chapter twenty-one, Christ is identifying the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and He sets forth a sign that marks the final generation of earth’s history. He identified the sign that Christians must recognize in order to flee the destruction of Jerusalem.

Di Ezequiel beşa heye yek pol ku ji bo rojê çok datîne, û di Ezequiel nehan de yê din mohra Xwedê distîne. Di Lûqa bîst û yekan de, Mesîh sed û çil û çar hezar nas dike, û ew nîşanek pêşkêş dike ku nifşa dawî ya dîroka erdê nîşan dide. Wî ew nîşan nas kir ku pêdivî ye Mesîhîyan wê bibînin da ku ji wêrankirina Orşelîmê birevin.

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Luke 21:20–22.

Û gava hûn bibînin ku Orşelîm bi artêşan hatî dorpêçkirin, hingê bizanin ku wêraniya wê nêzîk bûye. Hîngê bila yên ku li Cihûdeyê ne birevin çiyan; û bila yên ku di nav wê de ne derkevin derve; û bila yên ku li gund û deveran in neçin nav wê. Çimkî ev in rojên tolhildanê, da ku hemû tiştên ku hatine nivîsîn bi cih bên. Lûqa 21:20–22.

Jesus identified, “line upon line,” more prophetic characteristics of the sign, for His words are recorded not only by Luke, but also by Matthew and Mark.

Yesu yavuze “umurongo ku wundi murongo” andi mimerere myinshi y’ubuhanuzi iranga ikimenyetso, kuko amagambo ye yanditswe atari na Luka wenyine, ahubwo no na Matayo na Mariko.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains. Matthew 24:14–16.

Na hii Injili ya ufalme itahubiriwa katika ulimwengu wote kuwa ushuhuda kwa mataifa yote; ndipo mwisho utakapokuja. Basi hapo mtakapoona chukizo la uharibifu, lililonenwa na nabii Danieli, limesimama katika mahali patakatifu, (asomaye na afahamu:) ndipo walio katika Uyahudi na wakimbilie milimani. Mathayo 24:14–16.

And the gospel must first be published among all nations. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains. Mark 13:10–14.

Ataata eri ndaetela mepuk kuzawa go tú yo tibutibu bi kumba. Diki adi bioyo bamulongolanga, ne bamubanzanga, kana mubukenge katú wêna wambu waamba; katú kana mubukenge waamba munda ya myoyo yenu: diki kyoso kyamubapeshibu mu sâ yoyo, kyona waamba; diki keenu bo baamba ko, kanshi Mpeve Mutakatifu. Diki nwetu wa mukulumpe ukabanzha nwetu wa mucheche ku lufú, ne tata mwana; ne bana bakatelama ku balela babo, ne bakabenzhesha babuadibwe. Ne bamukabenga na bantu bonso bu ku dina dyami; kanshi udi wakukolesha too ne ku mpelo, yoyo wakusungibua. Diki padi binoona kyabwa kya bubutukidi, kyakamba Danieli muprofeta, kyemana padi kadi kechi padi kiene ko, (udi ubala ashiingulule,) dipo aba badi mu Yudaya batijile ku myunda. Mako 13:10–14.

Before the seven last plagues, which is the final and perfect fulfillment of the “days of vengeance,” is accomplished upon two classes the gospel of the kingdom must be preached and published among all nations. The gospel message is given to the nations at the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, when the one hundred and forty-four thousand are lifted up as an ensign. The “days of vengeance” represents the period of the Executive Judgment of the whore of Babylon, which begins with the Sunday law in the United States and ends when Michael stands up and human probation closes, and the wrath of God is poured out in the seven last plagues.

Maloi ga kavaika mabasa e fitu ni mate ni otioti, ka sai koya na vakayacori taucoko ka uasivi ni “gauna ni veisausaumi,” me vakayacori vei mataqali tamata e rua, e dodonu me vunautaki ka tabaki yani na kosipeli ni matanitu ena veimatanitu kecega. Na itukutuku ni kosipeli e soli vei ira na veimatanitu ena lawa ni Sigatabu sa voleka ni lako mai e Amerika, ni ra sa vakacerecerei cake na lewe dua na drau ka vasagavulu ka va me ivakatakilakila. Na “gauna ni veisausaumi” e vakaraitaka na gauna ni Lewa Vakacurumi ni dautagane ni Papiloni, ka tekivu ena lawa ni Sigatabu e Amerika ka tini ni sa tucake ko Maikeli ka sa sogo na gauna ni vakatovolei ni tamata, ka sa sovaraki na cudru ni Kalou ena maliwa ni vitu na mate ni otioti.

The period of time is the “hour” which Mark identifies, and the “hour” of the “great earthquake,” and the “hour” the ten kings agree to give their seventh kingdom unto the papacy. When the last soul has accepted the gospel that is published to all nations, probation closes, and God’s wrath is poured out without mercy. That period begins with the gospel being proclaimed to all nations as the ensign is lifted up, and ends when the last person responds to the gospel message proclaimed and preached and published by the ensign. That period of time is the “days of vengeance.”

Inguva y’e kipindi ni “saa” arico Marku agaragaza, kandi “saa” y’“omusisi mukuru,” kandi “saa” ari yo abami ikumi bemeranya guha obukama bwabo obw’omurindwi obwa papa. Omwoyo gwanyuma kuheza kwikiriza Injili etangazibwa mu mahanga goona, igihe ky’okugabirwa embabazi kirahera, kandi ekiniga kya Ruhanga kisukwa kitagira mbabazi. Eico gihe kitandikira ku Injili kutangazwa mu mahanga goona nk’akabonero kahanikwa, kandi kikahera omuntu wanyuma kuheza kwitaba obutumwa bw’Injili obutangaziibwe kandi obabiriirwe kandi obapapuriirwe n’akabonero. Eico gihe ni “ebiro by’okwihora.”

In Luke, chapter twenty-one, Jesus is pinpointing that history, for He is identifying the final generation, that will not die before His second coming. He identifies a sign, which is represented as the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. The sign is when the abomination of desolation stands in the “holy place,” and when it is “standing where it ought not,” which is also when Jerusalem is “compassed with armies.”

Mu Luka, kapu ya makumi yabili na moja, Yesu ari kuthondelera historia iyo, kwa mana iye ari kumanyiska m’badwo waumaliro uwo uzamufwa chara pambere pa kwiza kwake kwa chiŵiri. Wakumanyiska chimanyikwiro, icho chikuyimiririka nga ntchinthu yakunyasa yakupasula, iyo yikayowoyeka na Danieli ntchimi. Chimanyikwiro ichi nchiwemi para ntchinthu yakunyasa yakupasula yikwimilira mu “malo ghatuŵa,” ndipo para “yikwimilira apo yikweneranga chara,” icho nchakuyana na nyengo apo Yerusalemu “wazingilizgika na mawumba gha nkhondo.”

When Jerusalem was compassed by armies in the year 66 by Cestius, the Christians in Jerusalem fled the city, and Sister White identifies that not one Christian died during the destruction that ultimately ended in the year 70. Cestius initiated a siege, and then withdrew for apparently unknown reasons, and the Christians in the city fled in agreement with the warning associated with the sign. In the year 70 Titus completed the destruction by once again instituting a siege. The siege of Cestius was the beginning of what is called the First Jewish-Roman War, and the siege and destruction accomplished by Titus was the end of the First Jewish-Roman War.

Mwongo wa mwaka wa 66, Yerusalemu ilipozingirwa na majeshi chini ya Cestius, Wakristo waliokuwa Yerusalemu waliukimbia mji huo, naye Dada White anatambulisha kwamba hakuna hata Mkristo mmoja aliyekufa wakati wa ule uharibifu ambao hatimaye ulihitimika katika mwaka wa 70. Cestius alianza mazingiro, kisha akaondoka kwa sababu ambazo kwa dhahiri hazikujulikana, nao Wakristo waliokuwa mjini wakakimbia kwa kupatana na onyo lililohusiana na ile ishara. Katika mwaka wa 70 Tito alikamilisha uharibifu huo kwa kuweka tena mazingiro. Mazingiro ya Cestius yalikuwa mwanzo wa kile kiitwacho Vita ya Kwanza ya Wayahudi na Warumi, nayo mazingiro na uharibifu uliotekelezwa na Tito yalikuwa mwisho wa Vita ya Kwanza ya Wayahudi na Warumi.

The entire history lasted three and a half years, began and ended with a siege, and the beginning contained a sign for God’s people. That history was identified as the days of God’s vengeance by Christ, which was a specific element that He was to identify in His ministry. Those days represent the executive judgment upon the whore of Rome that begins at the soon-coming Sunday law, and ends when human probation closes. At the beginning of the executive judgment of the whore of Babylon, the one hundred and forty-four thousand are lifted up as an ensign, which is a sign. When God’s other flock see the sign, they are to flee out of Babylon, whose destruction was typified by the destruction of Jerusalem.
