Introduction: The Foundation of Habakkuk's Two Tables
Муқаддима: Асоси Ду Лавҳаи Ҳабаққуқ
This series is called Habakkuk's Two Tables. So far, we have been taking certain truths from the 1843 and 1850 Charts, not to defend them biblically at this point, but to establish that Ellen White endorses these truths. Our contention is that if you reject these foundational truths, you are simultaneously rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy. We want to put that in the record first.

Review of Millerite History and the Midnight Cry
Uhakiki wa Historia ya Wamilleri na Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane
In our first presentation, we outlined the history of the Millerites, the waymarks from 1798 to 1844. In our last presentation, we looked more closely at the history from the tarrying time to the closing of the door on October 22, 1844, identifying that time as the Midnight Cry. The Midnight Cry entered history at the Exeter Camp Meeting, August 12–17, 1844, and continued until October 22, 1844. The tarrying time, which began in March 1844, is part of the Midnight Cry and the purging process that prepared a people to proclaim its message.
Katika wasilisho letu la kwanza, tulieleza historia ya Wamileri, alama za nyakati kutoka 1798 hadi 1844. Katika wasilisho letu la mwisho, tuliitazama kwa ukaribu zaidi historia kutoka wakati wa kukawia hadi kufungwa kwa mlango mnamo Oktoba 22, 1844, tukitambua wakati huo kuwa ni Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane kiliingia katika historia kwenye Mkutano wa Kambi wa Exeter, Agosti 12–17, 1844, na kikaendelea hadi Oktoba 22, 1844. Wakati wa kukawia, ulioanza Machi 1844, ni sehemu ya Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane na ya mchakato wa utakaso uliowaandaa watu kuutangaza ujumbe wake.
We hoped to establish this in your hearts and minds yesterday. All the illustrations in God's Word of tarrying times speak about the end of the world. Ellen White, commenting on 1 Corinthians 10:11, says, "Each of the ancient prophets spoke more for our day than the days in which they lived." 1 Corinthians 10:11 states, "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." The history of the Millerites is a history of what will take place at the end of the world. All these biblical histories of the tarrying time and what follows illustrate what would take place in the Millerite tarrying time and the Midnight Cry. We need to understand these things because history is to be repeated.
Tukingile kusimika jambo hili moyoni na akilini mwenu jana. Mifano yote katika Neno la Mungu kuhusu nyakati za kukawia hunena juu ya mwisho wa dunia. Ellen White, akitoa maoni juu ya 1 Wakorintho 10:11, asema, “Kila mmoja wa manabii wa kale alinena zaidi kwa ajili ya siku yetu kuliko siku walizoishi ndani yake.” 1 Wakorintho 10:11 yasema, “Basi mambo hayo yote yaliwapata wao kuwa vielelezo; tena yakaandikwa ili kutuonya sisi, tuliofikiliwa na miisho ya dunia.” Historia ya Wamilleri ni historia ya yale yatakayofanyika mwisho wa dunia. Historia hizi zote za kibiblia kuhusu wakati wa kukawia na yale yanayofuata huonyesha kwa mifano yale ambayo yangetukia katika wakati wa kukawia wa Wamilleri na katika Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Yatupasa kuyafahamu mambo haya, kwa maana historia itarudiwa.
The 2520: Ellen White's Endorsement
2520: Ellen White Alikubali
We have been dealing with the first issue on these Charts, though we haven't mentioned it much. The first doctrine we want to show that Ellen White clearly endorses is the 2520. The first two presentations were designed to lead us here. Tomorrow morning, we'll begin considering the Daily on this Chart.
Kuri twari tumaze igihe dukorana n’ingingo ya mbere kuri izi mbonerahamwe, nubwo tutayivuzeho cyane. Inyigisho ya mbere dushaka kwerekana ko Ellen White yemeza neza ni iya 2520. Ibyigisho bibiri bya mbere byari byateguwe kugira ngo bituyobore kugeza hano. Ejo mu gitondo, tuzatangira gusuzuma ibyo ku Daily kuri iyi mbonerahamwe.
Remembering the Lord's Leading and Teaching
Kukumbuka Uongozi na Mafundisho ya Bwana
Let's begin with Life Sketches, page 196: "We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history." The only thing a Christian has to fear for the future is falling off the path and being lost. The thing to be fearful about is not obtaining eternal life. Here, Sister White says we have nothing to fear for the future except for two things. This is a common passage in the Spirit of Prophecy in Adventism, but rarely do you hear anyone elaborate on what leading and what teachings she is referring to.
Tuvange na *Life Sketches*, peji 196: “Katweshi ne kyaku‑tya pa bupya bwa mu ntangu izo zili kuza, kano fela nga twakebwa kwibukisha inshila iyo Mwami atutwaminyemo, ne myikishilo Yandi mu lukusa lwa kale lwa mupashi wesu.” Icintu fye ceka Umunakristu ekwete icakutina pa bya m’kale ibili kuza kwekupatuka pa nshila no kulubula. Icintu icakutinengepo te kuleka ukupepa ubumi bwa muyayaya. Pano, Nkashi White alanda ati tatwakwata nangu cimo ico twalingile ukutina pa bya ku ntanshi kano fye ifintu fibili. Iyi ni ndima ishilwa mu *Spirit of Prophecy* mu Adventism, lelo ubushiku ubwingi tekuti uumfwe umuntu alelondolola pa kutungululwa kwa mushilo kuleta nshi ne pa myikishilo shani iyo alecita atileko.
We will show that the leading she refers to is the history of the Midnight Cry. In the history of the Midnight Cry, Christ was leading in the tarrying time, the arrival and proclamation of the Midnight Cry, and the closing of the door on October 22, 1844. He designed that history to produce a people who could enter by faith into the Most Holy Place with Him. We should be fearful to forget that particular history, as well as His teachings.
Tukererekana ko okuwebembera kw’oyo ashingiraho nikyo amateka g’Okuteraaka okw’Ekiro Hagati agarukaho. Mu mateka g’Okuteraaka okw’Ekiro Hagati, Kristo ni we yaabembereire mu biro by’okulindiraho, mu kuhika n’okulangirira kw’Okuteraaka okw’Ekiro Hagati, hamwe n’okuheza kw’olwigi nga 22 Okutooba 1844. Yatebeekateeka ago mateka kugira ngu gabyare abantu abarikubaasa kutaha na we omu Kwera Kw’obusingye bwona-bwona omu buryo bw’okwikiriza. Tushemereire kugira entiisa kutebeerwa ago mateka agarikukirayo, hamwe n’enyegyesa ze.
We will show that there is a specific teaching that produced the Midnight Cry. That teaching was not the collapse of the Ottoman Empire on August 11, 1840, nor the state of the dead, which came in the history of the Second Angel's Message in the Millerite History. It was a specific teaching in the Millerite History that produced the Midnight Cry, where the Lord led, and we have nothing to fear for the future except that we forget His leading and His teaching.
Tukahonyesha kwamba kulikuwa na fundisho maalumu lililoizaa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Fundisho hilo halikuwa kuanguka kwa Milki ya Ottoman mnamo Agosti 11, 1840, wala hali ya wafu, iliyokuja katika historia ya Ujumbe wa Malaika wa Pili katika Historia ya Wamillerite. Lilikuwa fundisho maalumu katika Historia ya Wamillerite lililoizaa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane, ambamo Bwana aliongoza, nasi hatuna jambo la kuogopa kwa ajili ya wakati ujao isipokuwa tusahau uongozi Wake na fundisho Lake.
We suggest that the symbol of both His leading and His teaching is the Midnight Cry. Let's read this passage from Ellen White's first vision again:
Tukalumba nti akabonero k’obufuzi Bwe ne okwegesa Kwe byombi kwe Kukoowoola okw’Ekiro wakati. Ka tusome nate ekitundu kino okuva mu kwolesebwa kwa Ellen White okwasooka:
"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. 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."
Munjira guno, abantu b’Okugaruka kwa Mukama bakaba nibagenda omu rubuga orwari aha muheru gw’omuhanda. Bakaba baine omushana ogurinkumurika munonga ogwateirwe enyuma yabo aha ntandikwa y’omuhanda, kandi maraika yangambira ngu ogwo ni gwaaka ya misanagati. Ogwo mushana gukajwa kimwe aha muhanda gwona, kandi gwaha obushana ahari ebigyere byabo, ngu batagwa. Kandi ku bakagumizaga amaisho gaabo barihareire kuri Yesu, orwariho omu maisho gaabo kakye, nabebembera omu rubuga, bakaba bari omu bukuumi. Kwonka bito haza bamwe bakarwaire, kandi bavuga ngu orubuga rukaba rukiri hare munonga, kandi bakaba bateekateeka ngu bakashemereire kuba bamaze kurwinjiramu kare. Reero Yesu akabahumuriza ng’ayimutsya omukono Gwe ogwa buryo ogw’ekitiinisa, kandi omu mukono Gwe hakarugamu omushana ogukayeehaya aha kivuro ky’ab’Okugaruka kwa Mukama, kandi bo bakakoowooza bati, “Alleluia!” Abandi bo, n’obugwagye, bakahakana omushana ogwari enyuma yabo, kandi bavuga ngu ti Ruhanga owabebembeire kubahingya hare harya.
They are denying the Midnight Cry, and in connection with the Midnight Cry, they are arguing that the Lord was not leading them in the Midnight Cry. They are denying the leading of God in the Midnight Cry.
Ba kanongonoze Kelele ya Usiku wa Kati, na kwa uhusiano na Kelele ya Usiku wa Kati, ba ku pinga kwamba Bwana hakuwa akibaongoza katika Kelele ya Usiku wa Kati. Ba kanongonoze uongozi wa Mungu katika Kelele ya Usiku wa Kati.
"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."
Uluni olwalevali lwapwa, lusigila amavu gavo mu mfifi iipwililike, kabili balepunta no kulufya ukumona icishilwa pamo na Yesu, no kuwa ukufuma mu nshila ukuya mwisonde lyamfifi kandi ilyabipa ilili panshi.
The Midnight Cry in Context
Orta Gece Feryadı’nın Bağlamı
We will look once more at the history of the Midnight Cry to put it in context before we deal with the 2520.
Tukeka lisusu mbiri ya Kelele ya Usiku wa Kati mpo na kotia yango na contexte na yango liboso ete tósolola likambo ya 2520.
From The Great Controversy, pages 391–395: "When the time passed at which the Lord's coming was first expected, in the spring of 1844,"—this is the tarrying time, the first disappointment—"those who had looked in faith for His appearing were for a season involved in doubt and uncertainty. While the world regarded them as having been utterly defeated and proved to have been cherishing a delusion, their source of consolation was still the word of God. Many continued to search the Scriptures, examining anew the evidences of their faith and carefully studying the prophecies to obtain further light."
Ekitabo *The Great Controversy*, empapura 391–395: “Bwe waayitireho obwire Mukama bwe yabanza kusuubirwamu okuija kwe, omu kyanda kya 1844,”—obu ni bwo obwire bw’okulinda, okweshalira okw’okubanza—“abo abaali bamurindirire n’okwikiriza okuboneka kwe, okumara akaseera baabuurwa amabenga n’obutamanya. N’obu ensi yabarebaga nk’abasingirweho kimwe kandi nga kyolekirwe ngu baali bagumizeho obuzimbe, ekyabahumurizaga kyakiri Kigambo kya Ruhanga. Baingi baagumizamu kushwijuma Ebyahandiikirwe, nibagaruka kushwijuma obujurizi bw’okwikiriza kwabo kandi nibegyesa n’obwegyendesereza oburagura kugira ngu bafune omushana ogurukukiraho.”
If many did this, that means there were some who were not. It doesn't say "they"; it says "many"—two classes here.
Kama wengi walifanya hivyo, hilo lamaanisha kwamba walikuwapo baadhi ambao hawakufanya hivyo. Haisemi “wao”; inasema “wengi”—hapa kuna makundi mawili.
"The Bible testimony in support of their position seemed clear and conclusive. Signs which could not be mistaken pointed to the coming of Christ as near. The special blessing of the Lord, both in the conversion of sinners and the revival of spiritual life among Christians, had testified that the message was of Heaven. And though the believers could not explain their disappointment, they felt assured that God had led them in their past experience.
شەهادەتی پەڕتووکی پیرۆز لە پاڵپشتی هەڵوێستیاندا وا دیار بوو کە ڕوون و بڕیاردەرە. نیشانەی ئەوەی هەڵە تێدا نەدەکرا ئاماژەیان دەدا کە هاتنی مەسیح نزیکە. بەڕەکەتی تایبەتی یەزدان، هەم لە گۆڕانی دڵی گوناهباران و هەم لە ژیانەوەی ژیانی ڕۆحی لەنێو مەسیحییەکاندا، شەهادەتی ئەوەی دابوو کە ئەو پەیامە لە ئاسمانەوە بوو. هەرچەندە باوەڕداران نەیانتوانی سەرشۆڕبوونی خۆیان ڕوون بکەنەوە، بەڵام دڵنیابوون کە خودا لە ئەزموونی ڕابردوویاندا ڕێبەری کردبوون.
"Interwoven with prophecies which they had regarded as applying to the time of the second advent was instruction specially adapted to their state of uncertainty and suspense, and encouraging them to wait patiently in the faith that what was now dark to their understanding would in due time be made plain."
Neyî ku di nav wan pêşbîniyên ku wan ew wekî ku bo dema hatina duyemîn têne sepandin dîtibûn de hatiye tevlihevkirin, hîndekarîyek hebû ku bi taybetî bi rewşa wan a nediyarbûn û li bendemayînê re guncav bû, û ku wan teşwîq dikir ku bi bawerî û bi sebir li bendê bimînin ku ew tiştê ku niha ji têgihiştina wan re tarî ye, di dema xwe de dê eşkere bibe.
In that paragraph, it says, "Interwoven with prophecies which they had regarded as applying to the time of the second advent . . . ." What prophecies did they believe applied to the Second Advent? The 2520, the 2300, and the 1335. They believed all three of these time prophecies ended in 1843, and that was the Second Advent.
Mundhírina lishuvi lila, kwati, “Kumisikana na maunabii ambayo wao walikuwa wameyafikiri kuwa yahusu wakati wa Kuja kwa pili . . . .” Ni maunabii gani ambayo wao waliamini kuwa yahusu Kuja kwa Pili? 2520, 2300, na 1335. Waliamini kwamba unabii wote watatu wa nyakati uliishia mwaka 1843, na huo ndio uliokuwa Kuja kwa Pili.
"Among these prophecies was that of Habakkuk 2:1–4: 'I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.'"
I roto i ēnei poropititanga ko tēnā o Habakuku 2:1–4: “Ka tū ahau ki runga i taku pourewa kaitiaki, ka whakatū i a au anō ki runga i te pā tūwatawata, ā, ka mataara kia kite ai ahau i tāna e kōrero mai ai ki ahau, me tāku hoki e whakahoki ai i te wā e riria ai ahau. Nā ka whakahoki mai a Ihowā ki ahau, ka mea mai, Tuhia te kite, ā, whakamāramatia ki runga ki ngā papa, kia oma ai te kaipānui. Nō te mea, mō te wā i whakaritea tonu taua kite; engari ā tōna mutunga ka kōrero mai, e kore hoki e teka: ahakoa roa te tatari, tataria; nō te mea ka tino tae mai, e kore e whakaroa. Nana, ko tōna wairua e whakakake ana, kāore i te tika i roto i a ia: ko te tangata tika ia ka ora i runga i tōna whakapono.”
As early as 1842, the direction given in this prophecy to "write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it," suggested to Charles Fitch the preparation of a prophetic chart to illustrate the visions of Daniel and the Revelation. The publication of this chart was regarded as a fulfillment of the command given by Habakkuk. No one, however, then noticed that an apparent delay in the accomplishment of the vision—a tarrying time—is presented in the same prophecy. After the disappointment, this scripture appeared very significant: 'The vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. . . . The just shall live by his faith.'
Mwaka wa 1842 bwe gwali gukyali gutuuse kare, obulagirizi obwaweebwa mu bunnabbi buno obwokuti, “Wandiika okwolesebwa, okuteeke mu bulungi ku bipande, asobole okudduka oyo akusoma,” bwaleetera Charles Fitch okuteekateeka ekipande eky’obunnabbi okulaga okwolesebwa kwa Danyeri n’Okubikkulirwa. Okufulumya ekipande kino kwatwalibwa ng’okutuukirizibwa kw’ekiragiro ekyali kiweereddwa Kaabakuuku. Naye wabula, mu kiseera ekyo tewali eyalowooza nti mu bunnabbi bwe bumu mulimu okulabika ng’okulwawo mu kutuukirira kw’okwolesebwa—ekiseera eky’okulindiriramu. Oluvannyuma lw’okunyiiga essuubi, ekyawandiikibwa kino ne kirabika nga kya makulu nnyo nti: “Kubanga okwolesebwa kukyali kwa kiseera ekiragiddwa, naye ku nkomerero kuliyogera so tekulimba: newakubadde nga kulwawo, kukirindirire; kubanga tekujja kulemwa kujja, tekulirwa. . . . Omutuukirivu aliba mulamu olw’okukkiriza kwe.”
The 1843 Chart and the Spirit of Prophecy

It does not matter whether you do regular work or irregular work—terms Ellen White uses for conference work and self-supporting work, respectively. Whether you go to leading self-supporting ministries in Adventism or to the General Conference or the Biblical Research Institute, if you ask them about the 1843 Chart, they will say, "There are lots of mistakes on this Chart." They disagree with Ellen White, who says the Lord held His hand over "a mistake" in some of the figures on this Chart.

But they also place themselves in opposition to the Word of God. In Habakkuk, it says that this vision "shall . . . not lie." The vision the Pioneers were to put on the 1843 Chart, which they did, is a fulfillment of Habakkuk 2. This is the vision they were to place on this Chart, and Habakkuk 2 says this vision "shall . . . not lie." So, when you say this Chart is "full of mistakes," you are opposing both the Spirit of Prophecy and the Bible.

"A portion of Ezekiel's prophecy also was a source of strength and comfort to believers: 'The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God. . . . The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. . . . I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged.' 'They of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done.' Ezekiel 12:21–25, 27, 28."
Ezekieliʼn uvumbuzi bwa kinabii igice kimwe na cyo cyabaye isoko yʼimbaraga nʼihumure ku bizera: “Ijambo ryʼUwiteka riza kuri jye, rivuga riti: Mwana wʼumuntu, uwo mugani mufite mu gihugu cya Isirayeli ni uwuhe, uvuga uti: Iminsi irarambirwa, kandi iyerekwa ryose rirapfa ubusa? Nuko ubabwire uti: Uku ni ko Umwami Uwiteka avuga. . . . Iminsi iri bugufi, kandi nʼisohozwa rya buri yerekwa. . . . Nzavuga, kandi ijambo nzavuga rizasohora; ntirizongera gutinda.” “Abo mu nzu ya Isirayeli baravuga bati: Iryo yerekwa abona ni iryʼiminsi myinshi izaza, kandi ahanura ibyʼibihe biri kure. Nuko ubabwire uti: Uku ni ko Umwami Uwiteka avuga; nta jambo na rimwe ryanjye rizongera gutinda ukundi, ahubwo ijambo navuze rizasohozwa.” Ezekieli 12:21–25, 27, 28.
Two Classes of Worshippers
Abasɔmfo Kuw Abien
Notice that she is talking about two classes of worshippers. She says many, when this disappointment came, continued to study the prophecies, indicating there was a class that did not continue. We will get more light on the distinction of the two classes.
Lemona ete ete zaakusi kaatambwila bya bakulekelesha babili. Wamba ukuti abanji, pa kwisa kwa ukupondoka uku, baendeleele ukusambilila ubusesemo, ukulangisha ukuti kwaliko ikundi ilyashalile ukutwalilila. Twalapokelela ulubuto ulukalamba pa kusiyana kwa ayo makundi yabili.
The fulfillment of Habakkuk 2:1–4 is this 1843 Chart and the 1850 Chart. Even in Habakkuk, verse 4 says that the just shall live by his faith and he whose heart is lifted up. It is describing two classes of worshippers. The history of the Midnight Cry produces two classes of worshippers, and those two classes are addressed in Habakkuk.
Habakuki 2:1–4 kwikura kwayo ni Ikarita ya 1843 n’Ikarita ya 1850. No muri Habakuki ubwayo, umurongo wa 4 uvuga ko umukiranutsi azabeshwaho no kwizera kwe, kandi ko hari n’ufite umutima wikakaza. Harasobanurwa amatsinda abiri y’abaramya. Amateka y’Induru yo mu Gicuku atanga amatsinda abiri y’abaramya, kandi ayo matsinda yombi ni yo avugwa muri Habakuki.
In the next paragraph, after referencing Habakkuk 2 and Ezekiel, she identifies one of the classes: "the waiting ones." Who are the waiting ones? They are those fulfilling Daniel 12, "Blessed is he who waiteth, and cometh to the 1335." This class is the waiting ones.
Mu paragrafo ikurikiraho, amaze kuvuga kuri Habakkuk 2 na Ezekieli, agaragaza rimwe mu matsinda ati: “abategereje.” Ni bande bategereje? Ni abasohoza Daniyeli 12 ngo: “Hahirwa utegereza, akagera ku 1335.” Iri tsinda ni ryo bategereje.
"The waiting ones rejoiced, believing that He who knows the end from the beginning had looked down through the ages and, foreseeing their disappointment, had given them words of courage and hope."
Balindilanga mbote, wana bandimaki ete Ye oyo ayebi nsuka banda ebandeli, atalaki na nse koleka bileko nyonso mpe, lokola amonaki liboso kozanga elikya na bango, apesaki bango maloba ya mpiko mpe ya elikya.
We had a sister call who had been working in one of the Eastern European countries for a few years. She was from there, moved to the United States, and when she understood this message, moved back. She has faced resistance, with her former church family reaching out to leadership in her country to "close the door on her." Recently, the Lord opened the door for her to share this message with groups.
Twali na mwanyenga wa kike aliepiga simu, ambaye alikuwa akifanya kazi katika moja ya nchi za Ulaya ya Mashariki kwa miaka michache. Alitoka huko, akahamia Marekani, na alipoelewa ujumbe huu, akarudi tena. Amekabili upinzani, huku familia yake ya kanisa ya zamani ikiwafikia viongozi katika nchi yake ili “kumfungia mlango.” Hivi karibuni, Bwana alifungua mlango kwa ajili yake kushiriki ujumbe huu na vikundi.
She called early this morning, sharing that one obstacle was transportation. They needed a car to travel and teach this message, but lacked the funds. As soon as they reached this place, friends from the United States, convicted by the Lord, sent enough money to buy a car.
Wavya mangi mafuku va lela, watwajile ngwavo cimunyimino cimo cāli citambukilo. Bālikene motoka wa kuya no kusambisha uyu mubiji, lelo bākīngilwe ndalama. Pene pa kufika aba pa ncende iyi, balunda bafuma ku United States, pakukwatywa na Mwata mu myeo yābo, batumine ndalama isenweko ku kupota motoka.
This is the type of experience that was happening for the disappointed ones. They were disappointed, but the Lord led them to the Scriptures to encourage them, saying, "This disappointment was at my direction. Just keep moving forward."
Ani cyo cyari uburambe bwabaga ku bacitse intege. Bari bacitse intege, ariko Umwami yabayoboye ku Byanditswe kugira ngo abahumurize, ababwira ati: “Uku gucika intege kwabaye ku buyobozi bwanjye. Mukomeze gusa mujye mbere.”
"Had it not been for such portions of Scripture, admonishing them to wait with patience and to hold fast their confidence in God's word, their faith would have failed in that trying hour."

Linganisho lya Binta Bankumi ne Nthawi ya Kulindila
Notice how Sister White ties the parable of the Ten Virgins with Habakkuk 2, as both discuss a tarrying time and two classes of worshippers.
Talai ma Sister White tatanganikina ti pangngarig dagiti Sangapulo a Birhen iti Habacuc 2, agsipud ta agsarsarita a dua maipapan iti panagbayag ken iti dua a kita dagiti managdaydayaw.
"The parable of the ten virgins of Matthew 25 also illustrates the experience of the Adventist people. In Matthew 24, in answer to the question of His disciples concerning the sign of His coming and of the end of the world, Christ had pointed out some of the most important events in the history of the world and of the church from His first to His second advent; namely, the destruction of Jerusalem, the great tribulation of the church under the pagan and papal persecutions, the darkening of the sun and moon, and the falling of the stars. After this He spoke of His coming in His kingdom, and related the parable describing the two classes of servants who look for His appearing. Chapter 25 opens with the words: 'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins.' Here is brought to view the church living in the last days,"
Matayo 25’daki on kız benzetmesi de Adventçı halkın tecrübesini tasvir eder. Matayo 24’te Mesih, öğrencilerinin O’nun gelişinin ve dünyanın sonunun alameti hakkındaki sorusuna cevap olarak, ilk gelişinden ikinci gelişine kadar dünyanın ve kilisenin tarihindeki en önemli olaylardan bazılarını belirtmişti; yani, Yeruşalim’in yıkılışı, kilisenin putperest ve papalık zulümleri altındaki büyük sıkıntısı, güneş ile ayın kararması ve yıldızların düşmesi. Bundan sonra krallığında gelişinden söz etti ve O’nun görünmesini bekleyen iki sınıf hizmetkârı tasvir eden benzetmeyi anlattı. 25. bölüm şu sözlerle başlar: “O zaman göklerin egemenliği on kıza benzetilecektir.” Burada son günlerde yaşayan kilise göz önüne getirilmektedir,
Now, she is applying this to the Millerite History, but notice what she is saying—"Here is brought to view the church living in the last days,"—who is "the church living in the last days"? That is us.

"The same that is pointed out in the close of chapter 24. In this parable their experience is illustrated by the incidents of an Eastern marriage. 'Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.'"
Nangá nu naĩsame nĩ kũonũrĩrwo kũrĩ mũthia wa gĩcunjĩrĩria 24. Kũrĩ mũhiano ũyũ ũtugi wao nĩ ũheanĩrwo mĩhianano-inĩ ya ũhiki wa kĩrĩra wa irĩma rĩa irathimo. “Nĩho ũthamaki wa igũrũ ũgĩfananĩrwo na airĩtu ikũmi, arĩa maambire mataa mao, magĩthiĩ kũrĩmũkĩra mũhiki.

"The coming of Christ, as announced by the first angel's message, was understood to be represented by the coming of the bridegroom. The widespread reformation under the proclamation of His soon coming corresponded to the going forth of the virgins. In this parable, as in Matthew 24, two classes are represented. All had taken their lamps, the Bible, and by its light had gone forth to meet the Bridegroom. But while the foolish took their lamps without oil, the wise took oil in their vessels. The wise had received the grace of God, the regenerating, enlightening power of the Holy Spirit, which made His word a lamp to their feet. They studied the Scriptures to learn the truth and earnestly sought purity of heart and life. These had a personal experience and faith in God and His word, which could not be overthrown by disappointment and delay. Others moved from impulse, depending on the faith of their brethren, satisfied with good emotions but lacking a thorough understanding of the truth or a genuine work of grace. They were not prepared for delay and disappointment. When trials came, their faith failed, and their lights burned dim.
Kujya kwa Kristo, nk’uko byatangajwe n’ubutumwa bw’umumarayika wa mbere, kwasobanuwe ko gushushanywa no kuza k’umukwe. Ivugururwa ryakwirakwiye hose ryatewe n’itangazwa ry’uko aza vuba ryahuriranaga no gusohoka kw’abakobwa b’inkumi. Muri uwo mugani, nk’uko no muri Matayo 24, hagaragaramo ibyiciro bibiri.

"While the bridegroom tarried," When did the Bridegroom tarry? March 22, 1844. He tarries. What is going to happen now? These two classes are going to be manifested.
“Nevî têkûz ma,” Kengê Nevî têkûz ma? 22ê Adara 1844an. Ew têkûz dimîne. Niha çi dê bibe? Ev herdu çîn dê werin eşkere kirin.
When we forget the Midnight Cry and fall off the path to the wicked world below, we show we do not understand the Gospel. The Everlasting Gospel is the work of Christ in producing two classes of worshippers, based on a testing prophetic message. From the tarrying time to the closing of the door, this is the climax of the Everlasting Gospel. Here, the Lord takes two classes in the tarrying time, seeking to lead them into the Judgment with Himself, and puts them through a testing process to prove whether they genuinely have oil or not. This is the climax of Christ's work of separating the gold from the dross, the wheat from the tares, the wise from the foolish.
Ha tuvu vwa Chimvumo cha Pakatikati ka Usiku no lekela ndlela hiwa ya misava yo biha leyi nga ehansi, hi komba leswaku a hi yi twisisi Evhangeli.

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

When the disappointment came, two classes began to sleep differently; but even the wise virgins lost some of their zeal. The Lord was leading in this, so that when the Midnight Cry message came at the Exeter Camp Meeting, He would accomplish a work among them.

The Testing Process: The Tarrying Time and the Midnight Cry
Mukando wa Kwezhiwa: Nzhita ya Kutalalila ne Lijwi lya Pakachi ka Bushiku
From Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, page 228: Remember that this process—the Midnight Cry, from the Tarrying Time to the closing of the door—is the Lord testing His people. The Midnight Cry at the Exeter Camp Meeting, in its proclamation until October 22, 1844, is just one part of that history. It cannot be separated from the tarrying time, which prepares for the effect of the Midnight Cry among the two classes of worshippers. You must understand the Midnight Cry, because if you do not, you fall off the path.
Uivu wa Unabii, juzuu ya 4, ukurasa wa 228: Kumbukeni kwamba mchakato huu—Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane, tangu Wakati wa Kukawia hata kufungwa kwa mlango—ndio Bwana anayowajaribu watu Wake. Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane katika Mkutano wa Kambi wa Exeter, katika kutangazwa kwake hadi Oktoba 22, 1844, ni sehemu moja tu ya historia hiyo. Hakiwezi kutenganishwa na wakati wa kukawia, ambao huandaa kwa matokeo ya Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane miongoni mwa yale makundi mawili ya waabuduo. Ni lazima mwelewe Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane, kwa maana msipokielewa, mtaanguka kutoka njiani.
"God designed to prove his people. His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods. His hand, the Lord's hand, covered a singular mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods", in the plural. "Adventists did not discover the error, nor was it discovered by the most learned of their opponents. The latter said, 'Your reckoning of the prophetic periods is correct. Some great event is about to take place; but it is not what Mr. Miller predicts; it is the conversion of the world, and not the second advent of Christ.'"
Nkulunkulu wahlela ukuvivinya abantu bakhe. Isandla sakhe sasimboze iphutha ekubalweni kwezikhathi zesiprofetho. Isandla sakhe, isandla seNkosi, sasimboze iphutha eliyingqayizivele ekubalweni kwezikhathi zesiprofetho, “izikhathi” ngobuningi. “Ama-Adventisti awazange athole leli phutha, futhi alizange litholakale yizazi ezifundileyo kakhulu phakathi kwabaphikisi bawo. Laba bokugcina bathi, ‘Ukubalwa kwenu kwezikhathi zesiprofetho kuqondile. Sekuzokwenzeka isenzakalo esikhulu; kodwa akusikho lokho uMnu. Miller akubikezelayo; kungukuphenduka kwezwe, hhayi ukuza kwesibili kukaKristu.’”
The time of expectation passed, and Christ did not appear for the deliverance of His people. Those who had looked for their Saviour with sincere faith and love experienced a bitter disappointment. Yet the Lord had accomplished His purpose: He had tested the hearts of those who professed to be waiting for His appearing. Among them were many who had been motivated by fear rather than love for the truth. When the expected event failed to take place, these persons declared they were not disappointed; they had never believed that Christ would come. They were among the first to ridicule the sorrow of the true believers.
Nthanda ya kulolela yikajumphapo, ndipo Khristu wakawonekera yayi kuti wafwatulire ŵanthu Ŵake. Awo ŵakakhala ŵakulindilira Muponoski wawo na chipulikano chaunenesko ndiposo chitemwa ŵakakumana na kukhuŵara kukuru.

Iwo ŵakaŵa pakati pa ŵakwamba kuseka chitima cha ŵakugomezga ŵaunenesko.
This was the Lord's purpose. We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we forget how the Lord has led us in our past experience, and nothing to fear except we forget the Lord's teachings in our past experience. We are suggesting you cannot separate this leading from His teaching.

Life Sketches of James White and Ellen G. White 1888, pages 186–187: "God tested and proved his people by the passing of the time in 1843. The mistake—a singular mistake—they made in reckoning the prophetic periods was not at once discovered even by learned men who opposed the views of those who were looking for Christ's coming. These profound scholars declared that Mr. Miller was right in his calculation of the time, though they disputed him in regard to the event that would crown that period. But they, and the waiting people of God, were in a common error on the question of time.
James White na Ellen G. White, *Life Sketches*, 1888, makasa 186–187: “Kalunga wakameta no kusinina bantu bende mu kupita kwa ntangu mu 1843. Diphutha—diphutha dimwe dia pajila—dia basalaki mu kubala bipindi bia bupolofeta, kadi kadia kumanyikwa lekese-lekese to nansha kudi bantu balongeshanganyi badi bakananga mivwilu ya badi bindila kwiza kwa Kilisto. Bafundishi aba bakole bamba ne M. Miller uvwa mu bulelela mu kubala kuende kua ntangu, nansha badi bamutandisha pa bidi biumvwila ne dibanza dia nsuka dia kupweka pa ntangu ayi. Kadi bo, ne bantu ba Kalunga badi bindila, bavwa mu diphutha dimwe pa dibanza dia ntangu.”
"We fully believe that God, in His wisdom, designed that His people should meet with a disappointment, which was well calculated to reveal hearts and develop true characters—not only to reveal their hearts but to develop their characters, bringing it to a point where it would be demonstrated in the crisis that comes at the Midnight Cry. Those who embraced the first angel's message through fear of God's judgments, not because they loved the truth and desired an inheritance in the kingdom of heaven, now appeared in their true light. They were among the first to ridicule the disappointed ones who sincerely longed for and loved the appearing of Jesus. This most searching test of God revealed the true characters of those who would shirk responsibility and stigma by denying their faith in the hour of trial.
“Kuamini kwetu ni kamili kwamba Mungu, katika hekima Yake, alikusudia watu Wake wakutane na kukatishwa tamaa, jambo lililopimwa vyema kufunua mioyo na kukuza tabia za kweli—si tu kufunua mioyo yao bali kukuza tabia zao, akilifikisha kwenye hatua ambayo ingeonyeshwa wazi katika shida inayokuja wakati wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Wale walioikubali ujumbe wa malaika wa kwanza kwa hofu ya hukumu za Mungu, wala si kwa sababu waliipenda kweli na kutamani urithi katika ufalme wa mbinguni, sasa walionekana katika nuru yao ya kweli. Walikuwa miongoni mwa wa kwanza kuwadhihaki wale waliokatishwa tamaa ambao kwa unyofu walitamani sana na kuupenda ufunuo wa Yesu. Jaribio hili lenye kuchunguza kwa undani sana kutoka kwa Mungu lilifunua tabia za kweli za wale ambao wangekwepa wajibu na fedheha kwa kuikana imani yao katika saa ya majaribu.”
Those who had been disappointed were not left in darkness; for in searching the prophetic periods with earnest prayers, the error was discovered—the singular error—and the tracing of the prophetic pencil down through the tarrying time. In the joyful expectation of the coming of Christ, the apparent tarrying of the vision had not been taken into account, and was a sad and unlooked-for surprise. Yet this very trial was highly necessary to develop and strengthen the sincere believers in the truth. The tarrying time was highly necessary. It not only was going to demonstrate the two classes and begin to develop their characters that would be demonstrated in the history of the Midnight Cry to the closing of the door, but it was necessary to strengthen those who would come out on the right side of the issue. You cannot separate the tarrying time from the Midnight Cry or the closing of the door.

When you deny the Midnight Cry, you are denying that very history. The Midnight Cry is not just the message of Samuel Snow at the Exeter Camp Meeting; it is the experience of the tarrying time. This is where the Lord was leading. We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we forget the Lord's leading in our past history—this history of the tarrying time and the Midnight Cry, where He brings to a climax the Everlasting Gospel in the Millerite History, producing two classes of worshippers.
“Eka okwegaana Eddoboozi ery’Ekiro wakati, obeera ogeenyeza ddala ebyafaayo ebyo.

Early Writings, page 74: "I have seen that the 1843 chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and that it should not be altered; that the figures were as He wanted them; that His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until His hand was removed."
馬اند案,頁74:「われは、1843年の図表が主の御手によって導かれたものであり、これを改変すべきでないことを見た。また、その数値は主が望まれたとおりのものであったこと、そして主の御手がその上にあって、その数値の一部における誤りを覆い隠されたため、主の御手が取り去られるまでは、だれもそれを見ることができなかったことを見た。」
The Mystery of Iniquity and the Testing Process
អាថ៌កំបាំងនៃអំពើទុច្ចរិត និងដំណើរការនៃការសាកល្បង
If we had time, we could discuss the mystery of iniquity. The mystery of iniquity can have more than one correct definition, but here it refers to the work of Satan in mixing evil with good, truth with error, in the sacred histories where the Lord tests His people. In the sacred histories of Scripture where the Lord brings His people to a testing process, you will always see the mystery of iniquity—the activity of Satan in mixing truth with error. When people come to this testing point, the mystery of iniquity has clouded the issues.
Tukaba n’obwanya, tukasoborora ekyama ky’obutali butuukirivu. Ekyama ky’obutali butuukirivu kiyinza kugira amakulu agasinga ku limu agatuufu, naye aha kano nikireetera omurimo gwa Sitaane ogw’okutabura ekibi n’ekirungi, amazima n’obuhabuzi, omu byafaayo ebitukuvu ahu Mukama agezesa abantu Be. Omu byafaayo ebitukuvu eby’Ebyahandiikirwe ahu Mukama aleeta abantu Be omu nkora ey’okugezibwa, obutoosha noija kureeba ekyama ky’obutali butuukirivu—emirimo ya Sitaane egy’okutabura amazima n’obuhabuzi. Abantu ku batuuka aha kifo eki eky’okugezibwa, ekyama ky’obutali butuukirivu kiba kyahumisa ensonga.
When Noah's testing time came, the Bible tells us the seed of Satan had been mixed with the seed of God prior to that. This is what caused the mystery of iniquity to be fulfilled in the time of Noah, expressed in Genesis as the sons of God taking the daughters of men as wives—the mixing of the two seeds, the mystery of iniquity that precedes the test of Noah.
Igihe igihe cyo kugeragezwa kwa Nowa cyageraga, Bibiliya itubwira ko urubyaro rwa Satani rwari rwaravanze n’urubyaro rw’Imana mbere y’icyo gihe. Ibyo ni byo byatumye ubwiru bw’ubugome busohora mu gihe cya Nowa, nk’uko byavuzwe mu Itangiriro ko abahungu b’Imana barongoye abakobwa b’abantu—ukuvangana kw’izo mbuto zombi, ubwiru bw’ubugome bubanziriza ikigeragezo cya Nowa.
At the test of Moses and the Red Sea, Scripture describes how Israel, who would be tested at the Red Sea and at Sinai, had been corrupted by the teachings of Egypt after being there so long. That was the mystery of iniquity—being influenced by satanic teachings.
Pa muyeso wa Musa ne Bahari Nyekundu, Maandiko yanaeleza jinsi Israeli, ambaye angejaribiwa katika Bahari Nyekundu na katika Sinai, alikuwa ameharibiwa kwa mafundisho ya Misri baada ya kukaa huko kwa muda mrefu sana. Huo ulikuwa ni siri ya uovu—kuathiriwa na mafundisho ya kishetani.
In the time of the Jews, it was Greek teachings that prepared the way for the Sanhedrin to reject their testing process.
لە سەردەمی جولەکەکاندا، ئەوە فێرکارییەکانی یۆنانی بوون کە ڕێگایان خۆشکرد بۆ ئەوەی سانهدڕین پڕۆسەی تاقیکردنەوەکەیان ڕەت بکات.
In the Millerite history, the Millerites in the Protestant churches had just come out of 1260 years of Papal influence, which corrupted the pure seed with the impure seed, producing a mystery of iniquity that preceded the test of the Millerite History.
Mu mivugire y’Abamilerite, Abamilerite bo mu matorero y’Abaprotestanti bari bamaze kuva mu myaka 1260 y’ingaruka z’Ubupapa, zagize ico zisambura urubuto rutunganye mu kuruvanga n’urudatunganye, bituma havuka ibanga ry’ubugabitanya ryabanjirije ikigeragezo c’amateka y’Abamilerite.
That is the mystery of iniquity that is always present.
Yê ew nepeniya sûcdariyê ye ku her dem heye.
If you study how the mystery of iniquity works, go to Patriarchs and Prophets, the first chapter. Sister White tells us how Satan accomplished the mystery of iniquity in Heaven. There was going to be a test in Heaven about which angels would stay and which would be removed, and Satan was accomplishing the mystery of iniquity right there in Heaven prior to that testing process.
Kusoma namna siri ya uovu inavyotenda kazi, nenda katika *Patriarchs and Prophets*, sura ya kwanza. Dada White anatuambia jinsi Shetani alivyotimiza siri ya uovu Mbinguni. Kulikuwapo mtihani Mbinguni kuhusu ni malaika gani wangebaki na ni malaika gani wangeondolewa, naye Shetani alikuwa akitimiza siri ya uovu humo Mbinguni kabla ya mchakato huo wa kupimwa.
Satan did this by insinuating doubt, placing his word above God's Word, and more importantly, by leading others to express his false teachings—a sinister activity. He would place doubt in your mind, and then you would go out and express that doubt to a group. If anyone complained about the doubt, they would complain about you, not about him.
Shetani alifanya jambo hili kwa kupandikiza shaka, kwa kuliinua neno lake juu ya Neno la Mungu, na, lililo la maana zaidi, kwa kuwaongoza wengine kuyatangaza mafundisho yake ya uongo—tendo ovu la kisiri. Angeweka shaka katika nia yako, kisha wewe ungeondoka na kuitangaza shaka hiyo mbele ya kundi. Ikiwa mtu yeyote angelalamikia shaka hiyo, angelalamika juu yako, si juu yake.
Recently, a pastor in Spokane, Washington, commented on Early Writings, page 74, saying, "I went to the dictionary of Ellen White's day and age, the Webster's Dictionary, and figures does not mean anything to do with arithmetic." Most people who heard that would not check it out and would believe him. At minimum, that pastor was sowing doubt about what the figures represent in this passage; in reality, he was lying. Webster's 1828 Dictionary says: FIGURE, n. In arithmetic, a character denoting a number, as 2, 7, 9.

He was expressing doubt, doing the work represented as the mystery of iniquity. He was identifying for Adventists, if they are willing to see, that in this time in Earth's history, you must understand the truth for yourself and not listen to human beings; because, ". . . the mystery of iniquity doth already work: . . . ."

Early Writings, page 74: ". . . that the figures were as He wanted them, that His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures, so that none could see it, until His hand was removed."
Nhangulu ya Kale, peji 74: “. . . ya kwamba tarakimu zile zilikuwa kama alivyotaka Yeye, ya kwamba mkono Wake ulikuwa juu yake na ulificha kosa katika baadhi ya tarakimu, ili mtu ye yote asiweze kuliona, mpaka mkono Wake ulipoondolewa.”
It is misdirection, and theologians often do it. If you want to understand what a word means in the Bible or the Spirit of Prophecy, you do not look to the dictionaries first; you look to the prophet. For example, Daniel uses the Hebrew word rum in Daniel 8:11, translated as "taken away." People think it means "removed," but Daniel uses rum five other times, and it never means "take away"—it means "to lift up and exalt." So, to think rum in Daniel 8:11 means "take away" is to follow tradition, not how Daniel used the word.
Ku dirira nzila, mpe bateoloji balingaka kosala yango mbala mingi. Soki olingi koyeba ndimbola ya liloba moko na Biblia to na Molimo ya Esakweli, obandaka te na kotala badiksionɛrɛ liboso; otalaka moprofeta. Na ndakisa, Daniele asaleli liloba ya Baebele rum na Daniele 8:11, oyo ebongolami lokola “elongolamaki.” Bato bakanisaka ete elimboli “kolongola,” kasi Daniele asaleli rum mbala mitano mosusu, mpe ata mbala moko te elimboli “kolongola” — elimboli “kotombola mpe kotika na lokumu.” Boye, kokanisa ete rum na Daniele 8:11 elimboli “kolongola” ezali kolanda bonkoko, kasi te lolenge Daniele asalelaki liloba yango.
Similarly, with Ellen White: If you want to claim that in Early Writings, 74, "figures" means art figures or graphics, you might say, "The dictionary in Ellen White's day does not say figures mean arithmetic," trusting that most people will not check. But if they did, they would find that figures do mean arithmetic.
لە هەمان شێوەدا، لەگەڵ Ellen White: ئەگەر دەتەوێت بانگەشە بکەیت کە لە Early Writings, 74، «figures» واتای وێنە هونەرییەکان یان گرافیکە، لەوانەیە بڵێیت: «فەرهەنگی سەردەمی Ellen White ناڵێت figures واتای ژمێریاری هەیە»، بە پشتبەستن بەوەی زۆربەی خەڵک پشکنین ناکەن. بەڵام ئەگەر پشکنینیان کردبایە، دەدۆزنەوە کە figures بەراستی واتای ژمێریاری دەدات.
But the first place you go is to Ellen White herself: What does she mean by figures? In Early Writings, page 74, she says, "His hand was over and hid a mistake in some of the figures," and on page 236 she says, "His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods." The prophetess identifies that her terminology, figures, represents the prophetic periods—the arithmetic, not the artwork.
Lakini mahali pa kwanza unapokwenda ni kwa Ellen White mwenyewe: anamaanisha nini kwa hesabu? Katika *Early Writings*, ukurasa wa 74, anasema, “Mkono wake ulikuwa juu na ulificha kosa katika baadhi ya hesabu,” na katika ukurasa wa 236 anasema, “Mkono wake ulifunika kosa katika kukokotoa vipindi vya kiunabii.” Nabii mwanamke anatambulisha kwamba istilahi yake, hesabu, inawakilisha vipindi vya kiunabii—hisabati, si mchoro.
So, what did the Lord hold His hand over? He held His hand over a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods—the figures.
Basi, ni kiki Bwana aliweka mkono Wake juu yake? Aliweka mkono Wake juu ya kosa katika kuhesabu vipindi vya kiunabii—hesabu.
Ellen White's Endorsement of the 2520
Ukushimika kwa Ellen White i 2520
This is the punch line. Many are presenting the same message we are, and I support them. But when it comes to the 2520 and whether Ellen White believed it was a valid prophecy, this is the argument—this is the proof and where you should start. All other arguments are valid and true, but this is the starting point.
Aha ni co kumanina. Bingi bazali kolakisa nsango moko oyo biso mpe tozali kolakisa, mpe nazali kosunga bango. Kasi soki etali 2520 mpe soki Ellen White andimaki ete ezalaki profesi ya solo, oyo nde ezali likambo ya motuya—oyo nde ezali bilembeteli mpe esika oyo bosengeli kobanda. Ntina mosusu nyonso ezali ya solo mpe ya sembo, kasi oyo nde esika ya ebandeli.
In Early Writings, page 74, where it says the Lord held His hand over a mistake in some of the figures, she defines what that means in the same book, on page 236: "I saw the people of God joyful in expectation, looking for their Lord. But God designed to prove them." She is talking about the Tarrying Time, the first disappointment.
Mu *Early Writings*, peji 74, apo pakuti Ambuye anaphimba ndi dzanja Lake pa kulakwa kwina m’ziŵerengerozo, iye afotokoza tanthauzo la zimenezo m’buku lomwelo, pa peji 236: “Ndinaona anthu a Mulungu ali osangalala m’chiyembekezo, akuyembekezera Ambuye wawo. Koma Mulungu anafuna kuwayesa.” Akulankhula za Nthaŵi Yodikirira, kukhumudwitsidwa koyamba.
She is not talking about the Disappointment on October 22, 1844, because they are going to be proved there too; but here she is talking about the tarrying time: "God designed to prove them." "His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods." How was He going to prove them by the tarrying time? By holding His hand over their understanding of the prophetic periods. You have nothing to fear for the future, except as we forget how the Lord has led us in the past, in the history of the Millerites and His teachings.

These prophetic periods are the teachings that produced the tarrying time. "His hand covered a mistake in the reckoning of the prophetic periods. Those who were looking for their Lord did not discover this mistake,"—singular mistake—"and the most learned men who opposed the time also failed to see it. God designed that His people should meet with a disappointment. The time passed, and those who had looked with joyful expectation for their Saviour were sad and disheartened, while those who had not loved the appearing of Jesus, but embraced the message through fear, were pleased that He did not come at the time of expectation. Their profession had not affected the heart and purified the life. The passing of the time was well calculated to reveal such hearts. They were the first to turn and ridicule the sorrowful, disappointed ones who really loved the appearing of their Saviour. I saw the wisdom of God in proving His people and giving them a searching test to discover those who would shrink and turn back in the hour of trial.
Prophetic periode izi ni mafundisho yale yaliyotokeza wakati wa kukawia. “Mkono wake ulifunika kosa katika kuhesabu vipindi vya kinabii. Wale waliokuwa wakimngojea Bwana wao hawakuligundua kosa hili,”—kosa moja—“na hata watu wenye elimu zaidi walioupinga wakati huo nao hawakuona kosa hilo. Mungu alikusudia kwamba watu Wake wakutane na hali ya kukatishwa tamaa. Wakati ukapita, na wale waliokuwa wamemtazamia Mwokozi wao kwa taraja la furaha wakawa wenye huzuni na waliovunjika moyo, ilhali wale ambao hawakuupenda kuonekana kwa Yesu, bali waliikubali jumbe kwa hofu, walifurahi kwamba hakuja katika wakati uliotarajiwa. Kukiri kwao hakukuwa kumeuigusa moyo na kuusafisha maisha. Kupita kwa wakati kulikadiriwa vyema ili kufunua mioyo ya namna hiyo. Hao walikuwa wa kwanza kugeuka na kuwadhihaki wale wenye huzuni, waliokatishwa tamaa, ambao kwa kweli waliupenda kuonekana kwa Mwokozi wao. Nikaona hekima ya Mungu katika kuwajaribu watu Wake na kuwapa mtihani unaochunguza kwa undani ili kuwagundua wale ambao wangekwepa na kurudi nyuma katika saa ya kujaribiwa.
Jesus and all the heavenly host looked with sympathy and love upon those who had with sweet expectation longed to see Him whom their souls loved. Angels were hovering around them, to sustain them in the hour of their trial. Those who had neglected to receive the heavenly message were left in darkness, and God's anger was kindled against them, because they would not receive the light which He had sent them from heaven. Those faithful, disappointed ones, who could not understand why their Lord did not come, were not left in darkness. Again they were led to their Bibles to search the prophetic periods. The hand of the Lord was removed from the figures, and the mistake—singular—was explained.
Yesu hamwe n’ingabo zose zo mu ijuru barebaga bafise impuhwe n’urukundo abari bamwiteze igihe kirekire n’ivyizigiro biryoshe, bifuza kubona uwo imitima yabo yakundaga. Abamarayika bari babagurutseko, kugira ngo babashigikire mu gihe c’ikigeragezo cabo. Abari barirengagije kwakira ubutumwa bwo mu ijuru basigaye mu mwiza, kandi ishavu ry’Imana riraburira kuri bo, kuko batashatse kwakira umuco yari yarabatumye avuye mw’ijuru. Abo bizerwa, n’aho bari bihebeye, batashobora gutahura igituma Umwami wabo ataje, ntibasizwe mu mwiza. Basubiye kandi kurongorwa kuri Bibiliya zabo kugira ngo barondere ibihe vy’ubuhanuzi. Ukuboko kw’Umwami kwakuwe ku mibare, kandi ikosa—iryo rimwe gusa—rirasigurwa.
Here she explains the mistake in the figures on the 1843 Chart, and she has already defined that the figures represent the prophetic periods. "They saw that the prophetic periods reached to 1844, and that the same evidence which they had presented to show that the prophetic periods closed in 1843, proved that they would terminate in 1844." End of discussion! Ellen White places her seal of approval on the 2520.
Apo wehewehe ʻo ia i ka hewa i loko o nā helu ma ka Papa Kii 1843, a ua ho‘ākāka mua nō hoʻi ʻo ia he hōʻailona nā helu i nā wā wanana. “Ua ʻike lākou ua hiki nā wā wanana i 1844, a ʻo ia nō nā hō‘ike like a lākou i hōʻike ai e hō‘ike ana ua pau nā wā wanana i 1843, ua hō‘ike pū nō hoʻi e pau ana lākou i 1844.” Pau ka kūkākūkā ʻana! Ua kau ʻo Ellen White i kona sila ʻae ma luna o ka 2520.
There are only three prophetic periods on the 1843 Chart that they understood ended in 1843: The 1335, the 2520, and the 2300. God held His hand over a mistake in some of the figures—the prophetic periods on this Chart—until His hand was removed. When He removed His hand, the faithful waiting ones were led to study the prophetic periods again and found that the same evidence that led them to present that the prophetic periods closed in 1843 was then recognized to prove that two ended in 1844.
Chaati ya 1843 par vipindi vya kinabii walivyoelewa kuwa vilimalizika mwaka 1843 ni vitatu tu: 1335, 2520, na 2300. Mungu alishikilia mkono Wake juu ya kosa katika baadhi ya hesabu—vipindi vya kinabii vilivyo kwenye Chati hii—hata mkono Wake ulipoondolewa. Alipoondoa mkono Wake, wale waaminifu waliokuwa wakingoja wakaongozwa kujifunza tena vipindi vya kinabii, nao wakagundua kwamba ushahidi uleule uliowaongoza hapo awali kuwasilisha kwamba vipindi vya kinabii vilifungwa mwaka 1843 ndipo ulipotambuliwa kuwa unathibitisha kwamba viwili vilimalizika mwaka 1844.
The 1335 begins in 508 and ends in 1843. The 2520 begins in 677BC and is impacted by the fullness of the year. The Pioneers thought it ended in 1843, but later understood that the same evidence that led them to predict 1843 proved that the 2520 prophecy ended in 1844. The 2300 prophecy begins in 457BC, and they had thought it ended in 1843, but after the disappointment, through their study of the prophetic periods, they realized it ended in 1844.

There are only three prophecies they predicted would end in 1843, and one of them does: the 1335. This prophecy is not the one the Lord held His hand over. It identifies the history of the Millerites from the Tarrying Time, through the Midnight Cry, up to October 22, 1844.
Wek tenê sê pêxemberî hebûn ku wan pêşbînî kiribû ku di 1843-an de bi dawî bibin, û yek ji wan jî wisa dibe: 1335. Ev pêxemberî ne ew e ku Xudan destê xwe li ser wê girtibû. Ew dîroka Milleriyan ji Demê Derengmayînê, bi Midnîght Cry re, heta 22-ê Cotmeha 1844-an nas dike.
In yesterday's presentation, we ended with this quote from Ellen White: "Blessed are the eyes which saw the things that were seen in 1843 and 1844." This is "Blessed is he who comes to 1843." In the next paragraph, she says, "The message was given. And there should be no delay in repeating the message, for the signs of the times are fulfilling; the closing work must be done. A great work will be done in a short time. A message will soon be given by God's appointment that will swell into a loud cry. Then Daniel will stand in his lot, to give his testimony." Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 437.
Nellum matota wa lekcala lya vamatwalele, twamwene ni kwiina wa kuumbulula oku kuuma kuli Ellen White: “Vaalike va meso aamweene vyuma vyo vamwene mu 1843 na mu 1844.” Eci cino, “Aalike eyaiza ku 1843.” Mu ndima ilonda, ati, “Ubutumwa bwapelwa. Kabili tekufwile ukuba ukulindila mu kubwekesha ubutumwa, pantu ifishibilo fya nshita filefikilishiwa; umulimo wa kulekelesha ufwile ukucitwa. Umulimo mukalamba ukacitwa mu nshita inono. Ubbutumwa bukapelwa limo line ku kusalulula kwa Leza, ubukakula ukufika ku kulila kwa maka. Elyo Daniele akaiminina mu cifulo cakwe, ku kupela ubunte bwakwe.” Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 437.
Daniel standing in his lot is verse 13 of Daniel 12. "Blessed are the eyes which saw the things that were seen in 1843 and 1844" is verse 12. Ellen White is giving divine commentary on Daniel 12:12–13, saying that these verses are not about a time prophecy, but about an experience that includes 1843 and 1844, produced by a misunderstanding of 1843 that produces a tarrying time. When the tarrying time comes, "Blessed is he who waiteth." Though the vision tarry, wait for it. Blessed is the one who faithfully waits from the Tarrying Time until the door is closed. What the faithful see in 1843 and 1844 is a blessing that leads him into the Most Holy Place.

Ellen White li ser Danîêl 12:12–13 şîroveya Îlahî dide û dibêje ku ev ayet ne derbarê pêxemberiya demê de ne, lê derbarê ezmûnekê ne ku 1843 û 1844 dihewîne, ku ji têgihiştineke şaş a 1843-an derdikeve û demeke derengmayînê çêdike.

The 1335 prophecy ended in 1843, marking the arrival of the Midnight Cry. The 2520 and 2300 prophetic periods end in 1844. Ellen White says that the same evidence that led them to proclaim that the 2520, 2300, and 1335 ended in 1843 was then recognized to prove that they would terminate in 1844.
Unabii wa 1335 uliisha mwaka wa 1843, ukionyesha kuwasili kwa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Vipindi vya kiunabii vya 2520 na 2300 vinafika mwisho mwaka wa 1844. Ellen White asema kwamba ushahidi uleule uliowaongoza kutangaza ya kwamba 2520, 2300, na 1335 ziliisha mwaka wa 1843 ndipo ulipotambuliwa kuthibitisha kwamba vingekoma mwaka wa 1844.
"Light from the Word of God shone upon their position, and they discovered a tarrying time—'Though it [the vision] tarry, wait for it.' In their love for Christ's immediate coming, they had overlooked the tarrying of the vision, which was calculated to manifest the true waiting ones. Again they had a point of time. Yet I saw that many of them could not rise above their severe disappointment to possess that degree of zeal and energy which had marked their faith in 1843.
Tala kutoka katika Neno la Mungu liliangaza juu ya msimamo wao, nao wakagundua wakati wa kukawia—“Ijapochelewa [maono], yangoje.” Katika upendo wao kwa kuja kwa Kristo mara hiyo, walikuwa wamepuuza kukawia kwa maono, kulikokusudiwa kuwadhihirisha wale wa kweli wanaongoja. Tena walikuwa na wakati uliowekwa. Hata hivyo, naliona kwamba wengi wao hawakuweza kuinuka juu ya masikitiko yao makali ili kuwa na kile kiwango cha bidii na nguvu kilichokuwa kimetia alama imani yao mwaka 1843.
"Satan and his angels triumphed over them, and those who would not receive the message congratulated themselves upon their farseeing judgment and wisdom in not receiving the delusion, as they called it. They did not realize that they were rejecting the counsel of God against themselves, and were working in union with Satan and his angels to perplex God's people, who were living out the heaven-sent message."
Shetani na malaika zake wakawashinda, na wale ambao hawakupokea ujumbe huo wakajipongeza kwa hukumu yao ya kuona mbali na hekima yao kwa kutokupokea upotovu huo, kama walivyouita. Hawakutambua kwamba walikuwa wakikataa shauri la Mungu dhidi ya nafsi zao wenyewe, na walikuwa wakitenda kwa umoja na Shetani na malaika zake ili kuwachanganya watu wa Mungu, waliokuwa wakiishi kulidhihirisha ujumbe huo uliotumwa kutoka mbinguni.
In this history, there are two classes of worshippers. The unfaithful class ridicules the waiting ones, but the waiting ones are led back to the prophetic periods and come to understand that the same evidence that led them to identify the conclusion of the 2520 and the 2300 in 1843 proved that they ended in 1844.
Mu makuru aya, hari amatsinda abiri y’abaramyi. Itsinda ritizerwa riraseka abategereje, ariko abategereje basubizwa ku bihe by’ubuhanuzi maze bakaza gusobanukirwa yuko ibihamya bimwe byabagejeje ku kumenya iherezo rya 2520 na 2300 mu 1843 ari byo byagaragaje ko byarangiye mu 1844.
Even though the waiting ones recognized this, they were not as on fire for the Lord as before the first disappointment. They would be rekindled at the message of the Midnight Cry. The waiting ones had already understood 1844, the end of the prophecies, before the Midnight Cry.
Nangela ahã atùlêngela avale omunu, kavalikile ko kuendela ko ku Mufùmù ne ndalu ya mwîshi nge mu ntwadijilu wa kupandama kwà kumpàla. Kadi, bàvwa ne kushinduludiibwa cyà kabidi ku mulumbe wa Mbila wa Kati ka Butùkù. Avale bàlondela bàkavwàle bamanye kale 1844, ndekeelu wa biprofeta, kumpàla kwa Mbila wa Kati ka Butùkù.
The Midnight Cry message allowed the waiting ones to identify October 22, 1844. With that information, it was not just somewhere in 1844; it was on this very day, and that empowered the message.
Ujumbe wa Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane uliwawezesha wale waliokuwa wakingoja kuitambua tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844. Kwa taarifa hiyo, haikuwa tena tu mahali fulani katika mwaka 1844; ilikuwa katika siku hii yenyewe, na jambo hilo liliupa ujumbe huo nguvu.
Do you see the process? The teachings that produce this experience are three prophecies: the 1335, the 2300, and the 2520.
Ewe ubone omukalo? Ebisomeso ebireeta okunywera kuno ni obunnabbi busatu: 1335, 2300, na 2520.
After realizing this, they began proclaiming, "Come out of Babylon." This is the Second Angel's Message.
Ekiamanyire eki, baatandika kurangirira bati, “Murugye omuri Babulooni.” Obu nibwo Butumwa bw’Malayika wa Kabiri.
Let us be clear: What ends at the tarrying time? The use of the 1843 Chart. They set this Chart aside because they now understood the Lord was coming in 1844, while the Chart said 1843. So, they set the Chart aside for the history of the Second Angel's Message.
Tukweke wazi: Ni nini kinachokoma wakati wa kukawia? Matumizi ya Chati ya 1843. Waliweka Chati hii kando kwa sababu sasa walielewa kwamba Bwana alikuwa anakuja mwaka 1844, ilhali Chati ilisema 1843. Kwa hiyo, waliiweka Chati kando kuhusiana na historia ya Ujumbe wa Malaika wa Pili.
What becomes their message in the history of the Second Angel? The last paragraph explains.
Ni kîna ji wê peyama wan di dîroka Melekê Duyemîn de derdikeve? Paragrafa dawî vê yekê rave dike.
"The believers in this message were oppressed in the churches. For a time, those who would not receive the message were restrained by fear from acting out the sentiments of their hearts; but the passing of the time revealed their true feelings. They wished to silence the testimony which the waiting ones felt compelled to bear, that the prophetic periods extended to 1844."
باوهڕداران لە ناو ئەم پەیامەدا لە کڵێساکاندا چەوسێنران. بۆ ماوەیەک، ئەوانەی کە نەیان دەویست پەیامەکە وەربگرن، بەهۆی ترسەوە لە دەربڕینی ئەو هەستوسۆزانەی دڵیاندا هەبوو ڕاگیرا بوون؛ بەڵام تێپەڕبوونی کات هەستە ڕاستەقینەکانیان ئاشکرا کرد. ئەوان دەیانویست ئەو شایەتییە بێدەنگ بکەن کە ئەوانی چاوەڕوان پێویستیان پێی هەست دەکرد بیگەیەنن، کە ماوە پێغەمبەرییەکان تا ساڵی 1844 درێژ دەبوون.
What prophetic periods? The 2520 and the 2300. That is their message in this history. Now they are saying, "We get it! These prophecies extend to 1844." Their message in the history of the Midnight Cry is the 2520 and the 2300-year prophecies.
Ni vipindi gani vya unabii? Miaka 2520 na 2300. Huo ndio ujumbe wao katika historia hii. Sasa wanasema, “Tunaelewa! Unabii huu unaendelea hadi mwaka 1844.” Ujumbe wao katika historia ya Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane ni unabii wa miaka 2520 na 2300.
"For a time, those who would not receive the message were restrained by fear from acting out the sentiments of their hearts; but the passing of the time revealed their true feelings. They wished to silence the testimony which the waiting ones felt compelled to bear, that the prophetic periods extended to 1844. With clearness the believers explained their mistake—singular mistake—and gave the reasons why they expected their Lord in 1844. Their opposers could bring no arguments against the powerful reasons offered. Yet the anger of the churches was kindled; they were determined not to listen to evidence, and to shut the testimony out of the churches, so the others could not hear it."

What happens when you present the 2520 in connection with the 2300 days? In the Millerite History, you get shut out of the churches, and there is an effort to silence that message.
ئەگەر 2520 ـەکە لە پەیوەندییەکدا لەگەڵ 2300 ڕۆژەکە پێشکەش بکەیت، چی ڕوودەدات؟ لە مێژووی میلەریتدا، لە کڵێساکان دەرخراو دەبیت، و هەوڵێک هەیە بۆ ئەوەی ئەو پەیامە بێدەنگ بکرێت.
"Those who dared not withhold from others the light which God had given them, were shut out of the churches; but Jesus was with them, and they were joyful in the light of His countenance. They were prepared to receive the message of the second angel." Early Writings, 235–237.
Aba katafuna koongera abandi ku musana ogwo Ruhanga yari abahaye, baabingwa mu makanisa; kwonka Yesu akaba ari hamwe na bo, kandi baajura essanyu mu musana gw’amaisho ge. Baatekanisiibwe okwakira obutumwa bw’omumalayika ow’okubiri.” Early Writings, 235–237.
Without going into a study on the 2520, what we are trying to show is that Ellen White places her seal of approval on the 2520. If you cannot see this, you need to pray that Jesus will remove the scales from your eyes. Ellen White said that the same evidence that led them to predict 1843 was then seen to prove that these prophetic periods ended in 1844. She always identifies the prophetic periods, or the figures, in the plural. There are only three prophetic periods on the 1843 Chart that ended in 1843.
Bila kuingia katika uchunguzi wa 2520, kile tunachojaribu kuonyesha ni kwamba Ellen White anaweka muhuri wake wa kuthibitisha juu ya 2520. Ikiwa huwezi kuona hili, unahitaji kuomba ili Yesu aondoe magamba kutoka machoni pako. Ellen White alisema kwamba ushahidi uleule uliowaongoza kutabiri mwaka 1843 ndipo ulipoonekana kuthibitisha kwamba vipindi hivi vya kiunabii vilimalizika mwaka 1844. Yeye daima hutambulisha vipindi vya kiunabii, au tarakimu hizo, katika wingi. Kuna vipindi vitatu tu vya kiunabii kwenye Chati ya 1843 vilivyoishia mwaka 1843.
The one that does end in 1843, the 1335, requires, for grammatical correctness, at least two prophetic periods for her to say "figures" and "prophetic periods." If there are three and you take away one, then the two she endorses are the 2520 and the 2300, regardless of what anyone else may say.
ئەوەی کە لە ساڵی 1843 کۆتایی دێت، واتە 1335، بۆ ڕاستیی ڕێزمانی، پێویستی بە لانیکەم دوو ماوەی پێشبینی هەیە تاکو ئەو بتوانێت بڵێت «ژمارەکان» و «ماوە پێشبینییەکان». ئەگەر سێ دانە هەبن و تۆ یەکێکیان لاببەیت، ئەوا ئەو دووانەی کە ئەو پەسەندیان دەکات 2520 و 2300ن، بەبێ گوێدان بەوەی هەر کەسێکی دیکە چی دەڵێت.
In this history, including the Adventists' Great Disappointment on October 22, 1844, the Lord was producing an experience where they were being shut out of the churches so they could stand not upon the influence of men but upon the Word of God. They needed that experience to have the faith to move into the Most Holy Place with Jesus Christ. He was perfecting them to bring to a conclusion the Everlasting Gospel.
Katika historia hii, ikiwamo Fadhaiko Kuu ya Waadventista ya tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844, Bwana alikuwa akizalisha uzoefu ambao ndani yake walikuwa wakifungiwa nje ya makanisa ili waweze kusimama si juu ya ushawishi wa wanadamu, bali juu ya Neno la Mungu. Walihitaji uzoefu huo ili wawe na imani ya kusonga kuingia Patakatifu pa Patakatifu pamoja na Yesu Kristo. Alikuwa akiwakamilisha ili kuifikisha kwenye hitimisho Injili ya Milele.
Testimony of the Pioneers: James White and Uriah Smith
Ushuhuda wa Waanzilishi: James White na Uriah Smith
Next, we have two Pioneers, James White and Uriah Smith. These are the primary men modern theologians reference to claim that James White rejected the 2520 in 1863 and Uriah Smith rejected it in his writings in the 1870s and 1880s.
Hini, tuna Waanzilishi wawili, James White na Uriah Smith. Hawa ndio watu wakuu ambao wanatheolojia wa kisasa huwataja ili kudai kwamba James White aliikataa 2520 mwaka 1863, na kwamba Uriah Smith aliikataa katika maandishi yake ya miaka ya 1870 na 1880.
We are going back to 1844 and shortly thereafter to see how James White and Uriah Smith describe this identical history that Ellen White has just described. She talks about the prophetic periods and the Lord removing His hand and seeing the mistake, and so do these two Pioneers.
Em ê vegerin bo sala 1844-an û piştî wê demek kurt dikin da ku bibînin ka James White û Uriah Smith çawa vê dîroka heman, ya ku Ellen White nûha şirove kir, diyar dikin. Ew li ser demên pêxemberî diaxive û ku Xudan destê xwe rakir û xeletî hate dîtin; û van herdu Pêşeng jî wisa dikin.
Ellen White does not say "2520" or "seven times," but Uriah Smith and James White do. They make it clear that the prophetic periods recognized in this history were the 2520 and the 2300.
Ellen White tiak e sa “2520” maw “seven times,” idik Uriah Smith leh James White in an sa. Ani nih cun, hi thuanthu ah hriatpui mi hrilh lawngte cu 2520 le 2300 an si ti fiang zetin an langter.
James White, Review and Herald, volume 1, July 9, 1851: "Says an objector, 'I do not believe that the midnight cry has yet been given.' Neither do we believe that the midnight cry has been heard by us, or that it ever will be. The cry of Matthew 25:6, 'Behold the bridegroom cometh,' is in the history of an eastern marriage. But that a cry was given, and fully received by the entire Advent body in the autumn of 1844, that compares well with the midnight cry of the parable, should not be denied by those who had an experience in it."
James White, Review and Herald, volume 1, July 9, 1851: “Omundu omu ow’okuwakana agamba nti, ‘Sikkiriza nti okukaaba okw’ekiro wakati kuzze kuwaayo.’ Naffe tetukkiriza nti okukaaba okw’ekiro wakati kwawulirwa ffe, oba nti kulibaawo okukuwulirwa. Okukaaba okwo okuli mu Matayo 25:6, nti, ‘Laba, omugole ajja,’ kuli mu byafaayo by’embaga y’obugole ey’e Buvanjuba. Naye nti waaliwo okukaaba okwaweebwa, era ne kukkirizibwa mu bujjuvu omubiri gwonna ogw’Abadiventi mu mwaka gwa 1844 mu kiseera ky’omutogole, okwagerageranyizibwa obulungi n’okukaaba okw’ekiro wakati okw’olugero, tekulina kugaannyibwa abo abaafuna obumanyirivu mu kyo.”
James White is dealing with a history where people are rejecting the Midnight Cry and falling off the path. He is responding to this and will discuss this history.
James White ari kubuga ku mateka abantu bariko baranka wa Mugondo wo mu gicugu kandi bakava mu nzira. Ariko arishura ivyo, kandi azobivugako muri ayo mateka.
"It came in the right time. The cry of the parable immediately followed the delay, and the slumbering and sleeping. This followed our delay, having been disappointed, and reached our ears while in a dormant state. That cry waked up the ten virgins, and led them to trim their lamps. This, attended by the power of the Spirit, aroused the Advent people, and led them to search the Bible as never before, and to consecrate themselves and their worldly possessions wholly to the Lord. Those who gave the cry that the Lord would come at the seventh month, 1844, clearly saw that the prophetic periods reached to that time, therefore, the evidence that had been presented from the periods to prove that the Advent would be in 1843, proved that it would be in 1844. We then saw an error in that manner of reckoning which terminated the 2300 days in 1843. None of those who wrote against the Advent saw it. The hand of Providence—capital 'P'—covered the mistake—singular—until the time came for it to be seen. The error was in taking 457 full years from the 2300, which left 1843, without making any account of the fraction of the year 457 B.C., that had passed, when the commandment went forth, from which the 70 weeks are reckoned."

"Our minds were directed to that point of time, [1843,] from the fact that dating the several prophetic periods from those years in which the best chronologers assign the fulfillment of those events which were to mark their commencement, they all seemed to terminate that year.'"
“Biçûna me ber bi wê xala demê ve hate arastekirin, [1843,] ji ber ku, dema ku heyamên cihêreng ên pêxemberî ji wan salan têne destnîşankirin ku kronologên herî baş pêkanîna wan bûyeran ku diviyabû destpêka wan nîşan bidin lê ve têne dayîn, hemûyên wan xuya dikirin ku di wê salê de bi dawî dibin.”
Now he tells us the prophetic periods they thought terminated in 1843.
Ati lelo uatulombola ifipindi ifya buprofeti ifyo batontonkenye ukuti fyapwile mu 1843.
"This was, however, only apparent." Only apparent that they ended in 1843. They would find that they ended in 1844.
“Na, nanshih, vyake tu kwa kuonekana.” Ni kwa kuonekana tu kwamba viliishia mwaka 1843. Wangegundua kwamba viliishia mwaka 1844.
"We date the 'seven times,' or 2520 years, from the captivity of Manasseh, which is, with great unanimity, placed by chronologers BC677.' These are the prophetic periods that they were dealing with. 'This date is the only one we have ever reckoned from, for the commencement of this period; and subtracting 677 BC from 2520 years there remained AD1843. We, however, did not observe that as it would require 677 full years BC and 1843 full years AD to complete 2520 years, that it would also oblige us to extend this period as far into 1844 as it might have commenced after the beginning of 677 BC.'
“Twadiiti ‘ebihe eby’emirundi musanvu,’ oba emyaka 2520, okuva ku busibe bwa Manase, obuteekebwa, n’okukkiriziganya okunene ennyo, abawandiisi b’ebirowoozo by’emyaka mu mwaka 677 BC.” Ebyo bye biro eby’obunnabbi bye baali bakolagana nabyo. “Ennaku eno y’emu yokka gye twali tubaliddeko okuva ku ntandikwa y’ekiseera kino; era bwe twaggya 677 BC ku myaka 2520, ne wasigalawo AD1843. Naye ffe, tetwategeera nti kubanga kyandyetagisizza emyaka 677 egyajjula egya BC n’emyaka 1843 egyajjula egya AD okutuukiriza emyaka 2520, kyandituwalirizza era okugaziyiza ekiseera kino okutuuka munda mu 1844, nga bwe kyandiba nga kyatandika oluvannyuma lw’entandikwa ya 677 BC.”
The prophetic periods that "the hand of Providence kept his hand over the mistake," included the 2520.
Imiheto y’ubuhanuzi aho “ukuboko kw’Ubushobozi bw’Imana kwashyize ukuboko kwako ku ikosa,” yarimo na 2520.
Uriah Smith: "As time continued beyond 1843, many began to inquire the reasons of their disappointment respecting the year of their expected deliverance. It was then seen, that commencing all the prophetic periods in the years BC, where we had always dated their commencement, they would not be respectively completed, even upon the supposition that our chronology and date of their commencement were correct, until sometime within the year 1844. Thus, of the seven times, or 2520 years, commencing in BC677—the great jubilee, or 2450 years [not represented on either the 1843 or 1850 charts.], commencing in BC607—and the 2300 years of Daniel, commencing in BC457—as a portion of each of those years, from which the prophetic periods were respectively dated, had expired before the occurrence of the several events which marked their commencement, it would be necessary that they should extend as far into 1844, as they respectively commenced after the beginning of the years BC from which they are severally reckoned, in order, either to complete the number of years in each, or to test the correctness of our chronology. But there was no clue to the time, in the respective years BC, at which the several periods began; and consequently the time in the year of their termination, could not be accurately marked."
Uriah Smith: “Wakati ulipoendelea kupita mwaka wa 1843, wengi walianza kuulizia sababu za kukatishwa tamaa kwao kuhusu mwaka wa ukombozi wao walioutazamia. Ndipo ilipoonekana kwamba, kwa kuanzisha vipindi vyote vya kiunabii katika miaka ya KK, ambamo sisi siku zote tulikuwa tumeweka mwanzo wake, havingekamilika kila kimoja kwa wakati wake, hata kwa kudhania kwamba kronolojia yetu na tarehe ya mwanzo wake vilikuwa sahihi, mpaka wakati fulani ndani ya mwaka wa 1844. Hivyo, kuhusu zile nyakati saba, yaani, miaka 2520, zilizoanza katika KK677—jubilei kuu, yaani, miaka 2450 [isiyowakilishwa katika chati ya 1843 wala ya 1850.], iliyoanza katika KK607—na miaka 2300 ya Danieli, iliyoanza katika KK457—kwa kuwa sehemu ya kila mmoja wa miaka hiyo, ambayo kutokana nayo vipindi vya kiunabii vilihesabiwa kwa mtiririko wake, ilikuwa imekwisha kabla ya kutokea kwa matukio mbalimbali yaliyoashiria mwanzo wake, ilikuwa lazima vipanuke hadi ndani ya mwaka wa 1844 kwa kiasi kilekile ambacho kila kimoja kilianza baada ya mwanzo wa miaka ya KK ambayo kutokana nayo kila kimoja kinahesabiwa, ili ama kukamilisha hesabu ya miaka katika kila kimoja, au kujaribu usahihi wa kronolojia yetu. Lakini hakukuwa na dokezo la wakati, katika miaka husika ya KK, ambapo vipindi hivyo mbalimbali vilianza; na kwa hiyo wakati ndani ya mwaka wa mwisho wake usingeweza kubainishwa kwa usahihi.”
Uriah Smith and James White both testify that the prophetic periods recognized to conclude in 1844 were the 2520 and the 2300 years, using the same expressions as Ellen White in Early Writings, page 236 and onward.
Uriah Smith nele James White vile vile hushuhudia kwamba vipindi vya kiunabii vilivyotambuliwa kuwa vinamalizika katika mwaka 1844 vilikuwa ni miaka 2520 na miaka 2300, wakitumia maelezo yale yale kama Ellen White katika Early Writings, ukurasa wa 236 na kuendelea.
The Chain of Truth: William Miller's Commencement Points

Early Writings, page 230: "God sent His angel"—the angel Gabriel—"to move upon the heart of a farmer"—William Miller—"who had not believed the Bible, to lead him to search the prophecies. Angels of God repeatedly visited that chosen one, to guide his mind and open to his understanding prophecies which had ever been dark to God's people. The commencement of the chain of truth was given to him, and he was led on to search for link after link, until he looked with wonder and admiration upon the Word of God. He saw there a perfect chain of truth. That Word which he had regarded as uninspired now opened before his vision in its beauty and glory. He saw that one portion of Scripture explains another,"
Ebitabo Ebya Kera, omuko 230: “Katonda yatuma malayika We” — malayika Gabiryeri — “okukwatako omutima gw’omulimi” — William Miller — “ataali akkiriza Bayibuli, amulagirire okunoonya obunnabbi. Bamalayika ba Katonda baamukyaliranga enfunda n’enfunda oyo eyalondebwa, okulungamya ebirowoozo bye n’okuggulawo mu kutegeera kwe obunnabbi obwali buliira ddala mu kizikiza eri abantu ba Katonda.

William Miller, Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, April 18, 1854: "From a farther study of the Scriptures, I concluded that the seven times of Gentile supremacy must commence when the Jews ceased to be an independent nation at the captivity of Manasseh, which the best chronologers assigned to B.C. 677; that the 2300 days commenced with the seventy weeks, which the best chronologers dated from B.C. 457; and that the 1335 days commencing with the taking away of the daily, and the setting up of the abomination that maketh desolate, [Daniel 12:11] were to be dated from the setting up of the Papal supremacy, after the taking away of Pagan abominations, and which, according to the best historians I could consult, should be dated from about 508."
William Miller, Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, 18 Abril, 1854: “Mula sa higit pang pag-aaral ng mga Kasulatan, ipinasiya kong ang pitong panahon ng pangingibabaw ng mga Gentil ay dapat magsimula nang ang mga Judio ay tumigil na maging isang malayang bansa sa pagkabihag kay Manases, na itinakda ng pinakamahuhusay na kronolohista sa 677 B.C.; na ang 2300 araw ay nagsimula kasabay ng pitumpung sanlinggo, na ipinatala ng pinakamahuhusay na kronolohista mula sa 457 B.C.; at na ang 1335 araw, na nagsimula sa pag-aalis ng palagian, at sa pagkakatatag ng karumal-dumal na nakapagdudulot ng pagkawasak, [Daniel 12:11] ay dapat bilangin mula sa pagkakatatag ng pangingibabaw ng Papado, pagkatapos maalis ang mga paganong karumal-dumal, at na, ayon sa pinakamahuhusay na historyador na aking nasangguni, ay dapat itakda mula sa humigit-kumulang 508.”
Ellen White says Gabriel gave William Miller the commencement to the chain of truth, and William Miller testifies that the three commencement points he was given are 508, 677BC, and 457BC. He was given the commencement points of these prophecies that produced the history of the Midnight Cry by the Angel Gabriel.

The Last Deception: Rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy
Upotoshaji wa Mwisho: Kukataa Roho ya Unabii
Selected Messages, book 1, page 48: "Satan is . . . constantly pressing in the spurious—to lead away from the truth. The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God." The last deception of Satan is to destroy the Spirit of Prophecy.
Mila Yasilwe, kitabu cha 1, ukrasa wa 48: “Shetani ni . . . daima akisonga mbele na kile cha bandia—ili awaondoe watu kutoka katika kweli. Udanganyifu wa mwisho kabisa wa Shetani utakuwa kuifanya bure ushuhuda wa Roho wa Mungu.” Udanganyifu wa mwisho wa Shetani ni kuiangamiza Roho ya Unabii.
If you reject these foundational truths, you are simultaneously rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy. Ellen White places her endorsement on the 2520. Reject the 2520, and you are throwing out both the baby and the bath water.
Heke hûn van rastiyên bingehîn red bikin, di heman demê de hûn Ruhê Pêxemberiyê jî red dikin. Ellen White piştgirîya xwe dide 2520-an. 2520-ê red bikin, û hûn hem zarok û hem jî ava şûştinê derdixin.
"Satan is . . . constantly pressing in the spurious—to lead away from the 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)." She is talking about rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy and, in connection, says that if you reject the Spirit of Prophecy, where there is no vision the people perish. What is the vision? If you reject the Spirit of Prophecy, what is the vision you lack?
“Setane ari . . . guhora ahatira iby’impimbano—kugira ngo ayobye abantu abakuye ku kuri. Ubuyobe bwa nyuma cyane bwa Satani buzaba ugutesha agaciro burundu ubuhamya bwa Mwuka w’Imana. ‘Aho kutagira iyerekwa, abantu bararimbuka’ (Imigani 29:18).” Aravuga ibyerekeye kwanga Umwuka w’Ubuhanuzi, kandi, abihuje na byo, akavuga ko iyo wanze Umwuka w’Ubuhanuzi, aho kutagira iyerekwa abantu bararimbuka. Iryo yerekwa ni irihe? Niba wanze Umwuka w’Ubuhanuzi, ni irihe yerekwa uba ubuze?
"Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV).
“Lemba maono hayo, na uyaandike wazi juu ya vibao, ili aisomaye apate kukimbia.” Habakuki 2:2 (KJV).
If you reject the Spirit of Prophecy, you are going to reject the 1843 Chart; and, if you reject this Chart, you are rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy.
Kana wa ka Lemesia la Utabiri, u ta ka Chati ya 1843; mpe, kana wa ka Chati oyo, u ke ka Lemesio la Utabiri.
"Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God's remnant people in the true testimony. There will be a hatred kindled against the Testimonies which is satanic." Sometimes we think of "satanic" as sinister deeds, but in Patriarchs and Prophets we are told that Satan works by insinuating doubts. That is the satanic attack against the Spirit of Prophecy and these foundational truths. It is by men we are supposed to trust who insinuate these doubts.
Satani akakora n’ubuhanga bwinshi, mu buryo butandukanye kandi akoresheje inzego zitandukanye, kugira ngo ahungabanye icyizere cy’abasigaye b’Imana mu buhamya bw’ukuri. Hazacanwa urwango rurwanya Ubutumwa bwo Guhamya, kandi urwo rwango ruzaba urwa satani. Rimwe na rimwe dutekereza ko “ibya satani” ari ibikorwa by’icuraburindi, ariko mu gitabo cyitwa *Patriarchs and Prophets* tubwirwa yuko Satani akora atera gushidikanya mu buryo bw’amayeri. Icyo ni cyo gitero cya satani kirwanya Umwuka w’Ubuhanuzi n’aya mahame shingiro. Kandi bikorwa n’abantu twagombye kuba twiringira, ari bo baduteramo uko gushidikanya.
"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.
Kutakuwa na chuki itakayowashwa dhidi ya Shuhuda iliyo ya kishetani. Kazi za Shetani zitakuwa ni kutikisa imani ya makanisa katika hizo, kwa sababu hii: Shetani hawezi kuwa na njia iliyo wazi hivyo kuleta madanganyo yake na kuzifunga nafsi katika upotovu wake ikiwa maonyo na makaripio na mashauri ya Roho wa Mungu yatatiwa maanani. Selected Messages, kitabu cha 1, 48.
As we bring this to a conclusion, when Sister White says we have nothing to fear for the future except that we forget the Lord's leading, I am saying the Lord's leading she speaks of is the history from the Tarrying Time to the closed door—the history represented by the term, The Midnight Cry. We have nothing to fear for the future except that we forget how the Lord led us in the experience of the Midnight Cry, and also the teachings connected to this leading. The teachings that produced this experience are the three time prophecies, which commence with dates given to William Miller by the Angel Gabriel. We have nothing to fear for the future except we forget these teachings, including the 2520, that produced the experience of the Midnight Cry as the Lord led the Millerites through the climax of the Everlasting Gospel.

"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."
یک شتێک دڵنیایە: ئەو ئادڤێنتیستەکانی ڕۆژی حەوتەم کە لەژێر ئاڵای شەیتان وەستاوەن، پێش هەموو شتێک باوەڕیان بە ئاگادارکردنەوەکان و سەرزەنشتانەی ناو شایەتیکانی ڕۆحی خودا هەیە، واز لێ دەهێنن.
You reject the Foundations, you are rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy. If you reject the Spirit of Prophecy, you are rejecting the Foundations. They go together. Where there is no Spirit of Prophecy, there is no vision.
Upaleka Mafungilo, upaleka Mhepo ya Chiprofita. Nga upaleka Mhepo ya Chiprofita, upaleka Mafungilo. Viya vyendela pamoza. Apo palije Mhepo ya Chiprofita, palije mboniwono.
"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.
Banganga ya kwikunda cane no gukorera kwera kuruta iriko iratangwa, kandi izokwama itangwa. Bamwe muri abo ubu bariko baravuga ivyiyumviro vya Satani bazogaruka ku bwenge bwabo. Hariho bamwe bari mu bibanza bihambaye vy’ukwizigirwa batatahura ukuri kw’iki gihe. Kuri bo ubutumwa bategerezwa kubuhabwa. Nibabwakira, Kristo azobemera, kandi azobagira abakozi bakorana na we. Ariko niyanse kwumva ubwo butumwa, bazofata ikibanza cabo munsi y’ibendera ry’umukara ry’Umwami w’Umwijima.
"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.
Ez fêrkirî me ku bibêjim ku rastiya biha ya ji bo vê demê ji bo hişên mirovî herî zêdetir û herî zelal tê vekirin. Bi awayekî taybet, jin û mêr divê ji goştê Mesîh bixwin û xwîna wî vexwin.

"We do not half understand the Lord's plan in taking the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage, and leading them through the wilderness into Canaan.

"As we gather up the divine rays shining from the gospel, we shall have a clearer insight into the Jewish economy, and a deeper appreciation of its important truths. Our exploration of truth is yet incomplete. We have gathered up only a few rays of light. Those who are not daily students of the Word will not solve the problems of the Jewish economy. They will not understand the truths taught by the temple service. The work of God is hindered by a worldly understanding of his great plan. The future life will unfold the meaning of the laws that Christ, enshrouded in the pillar of cloud, gave to his people." Spalding and Magan, 305, 306.
“Tukakusanya miale ya kimungu iangazayo kutoka katika injili, tutapata ufahamu ulio wazi zaidi wa utaratibu wa Kiyahudi, na uthamini wa ndani zaidi wa kweli zake za maana. Utafiti wetu wa kweli ungali haujakamilika. Tumekusanya miale michache tu ya nuru. Wale wasio wanafunzi wa kila siku wa Neno hawatatatua matatizo ya utaratibu wa Kiyahudi. Hawatazielewa kweli zilizofundishwa na huduma ya hekaluni. Kazi ya Mungu huzuiwa na uelewa wa kidunia wa mpango wake mkuu. Uzima ujao utafunua maana ya sheria ambazo Kristo, akiwa amefunikwa katika nguzo ya wingu, aliwapa watu wake.” Spalding and Magan, 305, 306.
Those Adventists who receive the mark of the beast, standing under Satan's banner, first reject the Spirit of Prophecy.
Avaadiventiisfip aqqunaq nannun nalliussutaa tigusussaat, Saatanip erfalasua ataanniillutik, siullermik pruffiitip anersaavata ilitsersuineranik itigartitsissapput.
There are two classes in this passage: those who follow on to know the Lord, continue to eat His flesh and drink His blood, and continue to study God's Word, and those who do not. The development of truth is not finished; they will have things to say about the Sanctuary service that have not been said yet. They will emphasize the change of dispensation in the time of Christ, prefiguring the change in the Millerite time, pointing forward to the dispensation when Christ changes from the Judgment of the Dead to the Judgment of the Living. They will have things to say about the Sanctuary and how the Lord marks His movements in these changes of dispensations by the outpouring of His Spirit.

A couple more quotes and we are almost done.
Bikokola bya bingi kandi, mpe tokómi pene na kosilisa.
Those Seventh-day Adventists who reject the Midnight Cry fall off the path, rejecting the Lord's leadings and doctrinal teachings that produce the history of the Midnight Cry. That is what we have to fear—rejecting those teachings and not understanding that experience. In so doing, we are rejecting the Spirit of Prophecy.
Abasá bhéli ya Waadiventiista ya Siku ya Sabáato abó bakana Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane huanguka kutoka katika njia, wakikataa uongozi wa Bwana na mafundisho ya kweli yanayozaa historia ya Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane. Hicho ndicho tunachopaswa kukiogopea—kuyakataa mafundisho hayo na kutokuelewa uzoefu huo. Kwa kufanya hivyo, tunaikataa Roho ya Unabii.
Sister White places her seal of approval on the 2520. We will show how she places her seal of approval on other truths on the 1843 Chart.
Sister White 2520-ին կը դնէ իր հաստատութեան կնիքը։ Մենք պիտի ցուցնենք, թէ ինչպէս ան իր հաստատութեան կնիքը կը դնէ 1843-ի Chart-ին վրայ գտնուող ուրիշ ճշմարտութիւններու վրայ։
At the end of the world, when this all comes to the climax of the Everlasting Gospel in our history, Adventism will be confronted with the three-step testing process that has been prefigured, as seen in the experience of William Miller.
Emali ly’esi yona, ebyo byonna bwe birituuka ku ntikko y’Enjiri ey’Emirembe n’Emirembe mu byafaayo byaffe, Obwadiventi bulisanga nga bwolekagana n’omukutu gw’okugezesebwa ogw’emitendera esatu ogwategekebwa dda ng’ekiragiro eky’olubereberye, nga bwe kirabikira mu bulamu bwa William Miller.
William Miller made three mistakes: (1) He rejected the Midnight Cry and fell off the path to the wicked world below. (2) He trusted in human influence after that, Joshua Himes. (3) He rejected the Sabbath.
William Miller akakora amakosa atatu: (1) Yanze rya Jwi ryo mu Gicuku maze avana ku nzira agwa mu isi mbi iri hasi. (2) Nyuma y’ibyo, yiringira ububasha bw’umuntu, Joshua Himes. (3) Yanze Isabato.
A question arose: "Did he reject the Sabbath or the Sanctuary?" The teaching that changed from the sanctuary on Earth to the Sanctuary in Heaven in that time period may not have been fully grasped by Miller. When Ellen White was led into the Most Holy Place, she saw the Ten Commandments in the ark of the covenant, and the Sabbath Commandment had a holy glow around it.
Ikibazo cyavutseho ni iki: “Yaba yarahakanye Isabato cyangwa Ahera?” Inyigisho yahindutse iva ku buturo bwera bwo ku isi ijya ku Buturo Bwera bwo mu Ijuru muri icyo gihe ishobora kuba itarasobanukiwe neza na Miller. Igihe Ellen White yayoborwaga akinjizwa Ahera Cyane, yabonye Amategeko Cumi ari mu Isanduku y’Isezerano, kandi itegeko ry’Isabato ryari rikikijwe n’umucyo wera.
The thing Miller rejected was the Law of God—the Sabbath. So, Miller rejected the Midnight Cry, then leaned upon flesh, and then received the mark of the beast. That is repeated at the end of the world.
Ekyo Miller yasiimaala gwali Mateeka ga Katonda—Ssabbiiti. Kale, Miller yagaana Okukaaba okw’Ekiro ekya wakati, n’alyoka yeesigama ku mubiri, era n’afuna akabonero k’ensolo. Ekyo kiddamu ku nkomerero y’ensi.
Testimonies, volume 5, page 211: "Here we see that the church—the Lord's sanctuary—was the first to feel the stroke of the wrath of God. The ancient men, those to whom God had given great light and who had stood as guardians of the spiritual interests of the people, had betrayed their trust."
Ushuhuda, juzuu ya 5, ukurasa wa 211: “Hapa tunaona kwamba kanisa—patakatifu pa Bwana—ndilo lililokuwa la kwanza kuupokea pigo la ghadhabu ya Mungu. Wazee, wale ambao Mungu alikuwa amewapa nuru kubwa na ambao walikuwa wamesimama kama walinzi wa masilahi ya kiroho ya watu, walikuwa wameisaliti amana yao.”
She is commenting on Ezekiel 8 and 9, the sealing. Sister White says the sealing in Ezekiel 9 is the same as the sealing of Revelation 7. She is talking about the time period of the sealing of the 144,000. She says those who were to be the guardians had betrayed their trust.
Akati ahahen’a ku Ezekieli 8 na 9, ikimanyiso. Mweneetu White avuga ko ikimanyiso kivugwa muri Ezekieli 9 ari co kimwe n’ikimanyiso co mu Vyahishuwe 7. Ariko avuga ku gihe c’ikimanyiso c’abo 144.000. Avuga ko abari bategerezwa kuba abarinzi bari bagambaniye ico bari barashinzwe.
"They had taken the position that we need not look for miracles and the marked manifestation of God's power as in former days. Times have changed." Their first mistake was to oppose the Midnight Cry, saying, "What took place in this history of the Midnight Cry does not get repeated."
“Bô ti gêh ngmà mù tsï ma, hă nà cià kyà mìrākùlù nì, kà lò lôh kpàràkpàrà kù Nùnù Ŋwùnù ghò, dā kà nà nyì mù dōn dōn nà.” “Tsìnā zā kàsà.” Kùsùmù kpá wà yī nà tsòŋ Mídnait Krai, bô ti cì, “Màkà kà yī nà kùsìnà yì nà Mídnait Krai, nà gè nyì àrèpít nì.”
They are falling off the path.

"These words strengthen their unbelief, and they say: The Lord will not do good, neither will He do evil. He is too merciful to visit His people in judgment. Thus 'Peace and safety' is the cry from men who will never again lift up their voice like a trumpet to show God's people their transgressions and the house of Jacob their sins. These dumb dogs that would not bark are the ones who feel the just vengeance of an offended God. Men, maidens, and little children all perish together." Testimonies, volume 5, 211.
“Amang'wika aya akomya kukoroshya kuteyija kwabo, kandi bakavuga bati: Omukama talikukora kirungi, kandi talikukora kibi. Agira embabazi nyingi munonga okukyebera abantu be omu rubanja. Nikwo ‘Obusingye n’oburinzi’ kiba kiriyo kigambwa n’abantu abatairogye na rimwe iraka ryabo nk’enzamba, okworeka abantu ba Ruhanga ebicumuro byabo n’ennyumba ya Yakobo ebibi byayo. Embwa ezi ezitarikubuga ni zo ezirihurira okuhorerwa okw’oburinganiza okw’aine orushangashango rwa Ruhanga. Abashaija, abashiki, n’abaana bato boona bahwere hamwe.” Testimonies, volume 5, 211.
Jeremiah, speaking of William Miller's second failure, said, "Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord." Jeremiah 17:5. If you trust in a man, your heart departs from the Lord.
Yeremia, akirejelea kushindwa kwa pili kwa William Miller, alisema, “Bwana asema hivi; Amelaaniwa mtu yule amwaminiye mwanadamu, na kuufanya mwili kuwa mkono wake, na ambaye moyo wake humwacha Bwana.” Yeremia 17:5. Ukimtumaini mwanadamu, moyo wako humwacha Bwana.
The first rejection at the end is the Midnight Cry, a repeat of the manifestation of the power of God. The second is leaning upon flesh. The third is the Sunday Law.
Qetina pêşîn a di dawiyê de Qîrîna Nîvê Şevê ye, dubarekirina xuyabûna hêza Xwedê. Ya duyemîn piştgirîkirina li ser beden e. Ya sêyemîn Yasaya Yekşemê ye.
"There can be only two classes. Each party is distinctly stamped, either with the seal of the living God, or with the mark of the beast or his image. Each son and daughter of Adam chooses either Christ or Barabbas as his general. And all who place themselves on the side of the disloyal are standing under Satan's black banner, and are charged with rejecting and despitefully using Christ. They are charged with deliberately crucifying the Lord of life and glory." Review and Herald, January 30, 1900.

One thing is certain: those Seventh-day Adventists who take their stand under Satan's banner will first give up their confidence in the Spirit of Prophecy.
یک شتێک بە دڵنیاییەوە دیارە: ئەو ئەدوێنتیستەکانی ڕۆژی حەوتەم کە لە ژێر ئاڵای شەیتاندا هەڵوێست وەردەگرن، یەکەم جار متمانەی خۆیان بە ڕۆحی پێشبینی لەدەست دەدەن.
Adventism repeats the three-step testing process that William Miller failed. But angels are waiting to raise Miller up and take him home with his Savior. For Adventists who receive the mark of the beast, those are not the angels waiting for them.
Uadiventi hurejelea tena mchakato wa hatua tatu wa kujaribiwa ambao William Miller alishindwa. Lakini malaika wanangoja kumwinua Miller na kumchukua nyumbani kwa Mwokozi wake. Kwa Waadventista watakaoupokea alama ya mnyama, hao si malaika wanaowangoja wao.
"Again and again I have been shown that the past experiences of God's people are not to be counted as dead facts. We are not to treat the record of these experiences as we would treat a last year's almanac. The record is to be kept in mind, for history will repeat itself." Publishing Ministry, 175.
Kangimu kangimu ningamenyeshejwe yuko ibyabaye kera mu mibereho y’ubwoko bw’Imana bitagomba kubarwa nk’ukuri kwapfuye. Ntidukwiriye gufata inyandiko y’ayo byabaye nk’uko twafata alimanaki y’umwaka ushize. Iyo nyandiko igomba kuguma mu bitekerezo, kuko amateka azisubiramo. Publishing Ministry, 175.
Why do we need to remember the Midnight Cry? Because history is going to be repeated. In this history, the message that will cause the shaking is the 2520 and the 2300; it will drive people out of the churches over this.
Kîtu kyekyetaaga okwibukira Enduulu ey’Ekitalaagano ekiro wakati? Kubanga ebyafaayo bigenda kuddibwamu nate. Mu byafaayo bino, obubaka obulireeta okukankana bwe 2520 ne 2300; era buno buligoba abantu okubaggya mu makanisa olw’ensonga eno.
But is this history, the Midnight Cry, actually going to be repeated or is it just some history? Notice this next quote:
Lakini je, historia hii, Kilio cha Usiku wa Manane, kwa kweli itarudiwa tena, au ni historia tu? Angalia nukuu hii inayofuata:
"There is a world lying in wickedness, in deception and delusion, in the very shadow of death,—asleep, asleep. Who are feeling travail of soul to awaken them? What voice can reach them? My mind was carried to the future, when the signal will be given. 'Behold, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.' But some will have delayed to obtain the oil for replenishing their lamps, and too late they will find that character, which is represented by the oil, is not transferable." Review and Herald, February 11, 1896.
Kuli ni chi hewa mu bubi, mu bufi ne mu bulembi, mu kifita nyine kya lufu,—balele, balele. Ni bani bene bumfwa buyanda bwa mutima bwa kubalamusha? Ni jwi ka diakafika kudi bo? Lungenyi lwandi lwatwalwa ku matuku a kumpala, panafwa kupeshibwa chishibilo. “Talenu, Mukalenge wa masongola udi ulwa; patukayi numonange.” Kadi bamwe nebikale batangile kupeta mafuta a kujalulaku myenge yabu, ne kashidi kakadi kelela nebamone ne kuchedi ne cimilo, cidi cileejibwe ku mafuta, kîna kushintulwibwa ku muntu umbi. Review and Herald, February 11, 1896.
The history of the Midnight Cry is repeated to the very letter.
Tariha Bangê Nîvşevê bi hemû tîpên xwe ve dîsa tê dubarekirin.
Ellen White understood that the 2520 was a valid time prophecy and that it was used by the Lord to produce the tarrying time, the disappointment which created the experience that prepared men and women to move by faith into the Most Holy Place with Christ.
ئێلن وایت تێگەیشتبوو کە 2520 پێشبینییەکی دروستی کاتە و خووداوەند بەکاریهێنا بۆ دروستکردنی ماوەی دواکەوتن، ئەو هیواکۆڵییەی کە ئەزموونێکی دروست کرد کە پیاوان و ژنانی ئامادە کرد تا بە باوەڕ لەگەڵ مەسیح بچنە ناو شوێنی هەرە پیرۆز.
We have not tried to prove the 2520 from the Bible yet. In this study of Habakkuk's Two Tables, we first want to be clear that Ellen White endorses these doctrines that are being rejected by Adventism today; then we will move into the Biblical study.
Asi kechizami kukwatiliza 2520 kufuma mu Bibilia na. Mu kusambira uku kwa Matebulo Yobili a Habakkuk, twafwaya intanshi ukuba abengalengalenga bwino ukuti Ellen White asuminisha aya amasambilisho ayaleekanishiwa lelo no Bwadiventi; elyo twalabukila mu kusambira kwa mu Bibilia.
