In Isaiah twenty-eight the “scornful men which rule” “Jerusalem” are represented as the “drunkards of Ephraim,” and as the “crown of pride.” “Crown” represents leadership and “pride” represents a satanic character.
Mu Isaya amakumi abili na munaane, “abasajja abanyooma abafuga” “Yerusaalemi” balagibwa nga be “abatamiivu ba Efulayimu,” era nga be “engule ey’amalala.” “Engule” ekiikirira obukulembeze, era “amalala” gakiikirira enneeyisa eya Setaani.
The drunkards are contrasted with the remnant (“residue”) who become God’s “crown” of glory, for during the latter rain the Lord sets up His “kingdom of glory” as typified by Him setting up the “kingdom of grace” at the cross. The kingdom of grace at the cross typifies the kingdom of glory at the Sunday law. The latter rain began on 9/11 when the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand and the judgment of the living began.
Abasinzi b’inzoga baratandukanywa n’abasigaye (“abasigazwa”), bahinduka “ikamba” y’icyubahiro cy’Imana; kuko mu gihe cy’imvura y’itumba y’iherezo, Uwiteka ashyiraho “ubwami” bwe bw’icyubahiro, nk’uko byagereranyijwe no gushyiraho kwe “ubwami bw’ubuntu” ku musaraba. Ubwami bw’ubuntu bwo ku musaraba bugereranya ubwami bw’icyubahiro ku itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru. Imvura y’itumba y’iherezo yatangiye ku wa 9/11 igihe gushyirwaho ikimenyetso cy’abantu ibihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine n’urubanza rw’abazima byatangiraga.
“I saw that all things are intensely looking and stretching their thoughts on the impending crisis before them. The sins of Israel must go to judgment beforehand. Every sin must be confessed at the sanctuary, then the work will move. It must be done now. The remnant in the time of trouble will cry, My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?
“Namonanga kwamba vyote vinautazama kwa bidii kubwa na kuelekeza fikira zake kwenye msukosuko unaokaribia mbele yao. Dhambi za Israeli lazima ziende hukumuni tangu awali. Kila dhambi lazima iungamishwe katika patakatifu, ndipo kazi itasonga mbele. Hili lapasa kufanywa sasa. Mabaki katika wakati wa taabu yatapaza kilio, Mungu wangu, Mungu wangu, mbona umeniacha?”
“The latter rain is coming on those that are pure—all then will receive it as formerly.
“Mbura ya nyuma inakuja juu ya wale walio safi—ndipo wote wataipokea kama hapo awali.
“When the four angels let go, Christ will set up His kingdom. None receive the latter rain but those who are doing all they can. Christ would help us. All could be overcomers by the grace of God, through the blood of Jesus. All heaven is interested in the work. Angels are interested.” Spalding and Magan, 3.
“Dema ku çar milyaket berdidin, Mesîh dê Padîşahiya xwe ava bike. Tiştekî ji barana dawî wernagirin, ji bilî wan ku her tiştê ku dikarin dikin. Mesîh dê alîkariya me bike.

The four winds of Revelation are also represented by Isaiah as a rough wind that had been stayed during the day of the east wind, as are Revelation’s four winds of strife held in check by the four angels. The four winds are identified as an “angry horse seeking to break loose” bringing “death and destruction” by Sister White. The four winds are progressively released, beginning at 9/11 then greatly amplified at the Sunday law, and then fully loosed when human probation closes.

Released and Restrained
Aisukwa na Akwetelelwa
The seventh trumpet, which is also the third woe, which announces the finishing of the mystery of God was prophetically sounded at 9/11 when Islam was released and then prophetically restrained by George W. Bush post-911. The mother of Islam, Hagar, Ishmael’s mother is a symbol of restraint and release. She was released by Sarah to procreate with Abraham by Sarah, then because of jealousy she was restrained by Sarah, causing Hagar to run away, until the angel restrained Hagar from running and told her to return. After the birth of Isaac, the strife of Hagar and Sarah continued until Abraham cast out the bondwoman, thus placing another restraint upon her.
Trombeta la saba, ari na balaa la tatu, lenye kutangaza kukamilishwa kwa siri ya Mungu, lilivumishwa kinabii katika 9/11 wakati Uislamu ulipoachiwa, kisha ukazuiliwa kinabii na George W. Bush baada ya 9/11. Mama wa Uislamu, Hagara, mama yake Ishmaeli, ni ishara ya kuzuia na kuachilia. Aliachiwa na Sara ili azae na Ibrahimu kwa agizo la Sara; kisha, kwa sababu ya wivu, akazuiliwa na Sara, jambo lililosababisha Hagara kukimbia, hata malaika alipomzuia Hagara asikimbie na kumwambia arudi. Baada ya kuzaliwa kwa Isaka, ugomvi wa Hagara na Sara uliendelea mpaka Ibrahimu alipomfukuza mjakazi yule, na hivyo akaweka kizuizi kingine juu yake.
The four angels of Islam were released at the beginning of the three hundred and ninety-one year and fifteen-day prophecy of Revelation chapter nine verse fifteen and they were then restrained on August 11, 1840.
Uanhu mbele vaca va Kiislamu vailekuliwe mwanzoni mwa unabii wa myaka mia tatu na tisini na moja na siku kumi na tano wa Ufunuo sura ya tisa mstari wa kumi na tano, navyo vikafungwa tena tarehe 11 Agosti, 1840.
And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. Revelation 9:13–15.
Umumarayika wa gatandatu avuza impanda, numva ijwi rivuye ku mahembe ane y’igicaniro cy’izahabu kiri imbere y’Imana, ribwira umumarayika wa gatandatu wari ufite impanda riti: “Bohora abamarayika bane baboshywe ku ruzi runini Efurate.” Nuko abo bamarayika bane barabohorwa, bari barateguriwe isaha, n’umunsi, n’ukwezi, n’umwaka, kugira ngo bicemo kimwe cya gatatu cy’abantu. Ibyahishuwe 9:13–15.
After Islam of the third woe was released to attack at 9/11, George W. Bush initiated his worldwide war on terrorism and put a restraint on Islam. The first mention of Ishmael, the symbol of Islam identifies that Ishmael descendants would be against every man and every man would be against them.
پاشان ئیسلامی سێیەمین وای بە 9/11 ئازاد کرا بۆ هێرشکردن، جۆرج دابلیو. بوش جەنگی جیهانی خۆی لە دژی تیرۆریزم دەستپێکرد و سنووردارێکی لەسەر ئیسلام دانا. یەکەمین باسکردنی ئیسماعیل، وەک هێمای ئیسلام، دیاری دەکات کە نەوەکانی ئیسماعیل دژی هەموو مرۆڤێک دەبن و هەموو مرۆڤێکیش دژی ئەوان دەبێت.
And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16:11, 12.
Na malaika wa Bwana akamwambia, Tazama, una mimba, nawe utazaa mwana, nawe utamwita jina lake Ishmaeli; kwa maana Bwana amesikia mateso yako. Naye atakuwa mtu wa porini; mkono wake utakuwa juu ya kila mtu, na mkono wa kila mtu juu yake; naye atakaa mbele ya ndugu zake wote. Mwanzo 16:11, 12.
Islam is the power at the end of the world that “every man’s hand” will be against, and Islam will be against every man, just as it is being perfectly fulfilled today. The particular work of Islam as a symbol of prophecy is to bring about a world war. This subject is confirmed by the story of Elijah, John the Baptist and is represented as “the angering of the nations” in the book of Revelation.
ئیسلام هێزی کۆتایی جیهانە کە «دەستی هەموو مرۆڤێک» دژی دەبێت، و ئیسلامیش دژی هەموو مرۆڤێک دەبێت، هەروەک ئەمڕۆ بە تەواوی جێبەجێ دەبێت. ئەو کارە تایبەتەی ئیسلام وەک هێمایەکی پێشبینی بریتییە لە ئەوەی جەنگێکی جیهانی بهێنێتە ئاراوە. ئەم بابەتە لە چیرۆکی ئەلیاس و یەحیای لەئاوهڵهڤان پشتڕاست دەکرێتەوە و لە پەرتوکی ئاشکراکردندا وەک «تووڕەبوونی نەتەوەکان» نیشان دەدرێت.
“‘The commencement of that time of trouble,’ here mentioned does not refer to the time when the plagues shall begin to be poured out, but to a short period just before they are poured out, while Christ is in the sanctuary. At that time, while the work of salvation is closing, trouble will be coming on the earth, and the nations will be angry, yet held in check so as not to prevent the work of the third angel. At that time the ‘latter rain,’ or refreshing from the presence of the Lord, will come, to give power to the loud voice of the third angel, and prepare the saints to stand in the period when the seven last plagues shall be poured out.” Early Writings, 85.
“‘Nthatha ya rîrîa rûgendo rwa kîeha rûu,’ rîa rûtongoretwo haha, ndîrehereire ihinda rîrîa mîhũrũko igaatanîrwo kũthukumwa, no nî ihinda rîa gũtũra rĩnini mbere ya gũthukumwa kwayo, Kristo arĩ Hekarũ-inĩ. Ihinda-inĩ rĩu, rĩrĩa wĩra wa ũhonokio ũrĩ kũhingo, kîeha gĩgaacooka gĩkĩũka thĩinĩ wa thĩ, na ndũrĩrĩ ciagaatamwa, no ciikĩrĩrwo nĩguo itigĩthibithie wĩra wa mũraika wa gatatũ. Ihinda rĩu ‘mbura ya mũthia,’ kana gũcookio ngoro kuuma mbere ya Mwathani, nĩigũũka, nĩguo ĩhe hinya irĩa rĩa mũraika wa gatatũ, na itegũre atheru nĩguo mamagĩrĩre ihinda rĩrĩa mîhũrũko mũgwanja ya mũthia igaatanîrwo gũthukumwa.” Early Writings, 85.
In the “days” when the latter rain is falling, Christ sets up His kingdom of glory as represented in the book of Daniel.
Mu “ennaku” izuba ly’okuvannyuma bwe ligwa, Kristo ayimirizaawo obwakabaka bwe obw’ekitiibwa nga bwe bukiikiriddwa mu kitabo kya Danyeri.
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Daniel 2:44.
Na emi ninyita mia a vakalewena na Tui ni lomalagi e dua na matanitu, ka na sega vakadua ni vakarusai: ka na sega ni soli na matanitu oqo vei ira na tani, ia ena vorolaka ka vakacacana na matanitu kecega oqo, ka na tudei tiko ga e sega ni mudu. Taniela 2:44.
In the “days” when Christ sets up His kingdom of glory, those who are Christ’s “crown” of glory are contrasted with the drunkards who wear the “crown” of pride. Habakkuk’s “vision” that was to be written and made plain upon “tables” graphically illustrates the historical witness of the foundational truths of Adventism. In Habakkuk’s testimony Joel’s two classes of either “pride” or “glory” are represented as a class who are—justified by faith or who are—lifted up in pride. Verse four of chapter two addresses the two classes and they parallel the classic illustration of the Pharisee and the Publican. The Publican went home justified and the Pharisee’s “soul” is “not upright” for it is “lifted up.”
Kunda “mianda” ayi Klisto atunga kimfumu Kyandi kya nkembo, bantu ba Klisto, abo bali “lukata” lwandi lwa nkembo, badi batululu ne bankolwa bavwala “lukata” lwa lulendo. “Kimweno” kya Habakuki, kyakafwainwa kufundikwa ne kufumikishibwa patoka pa “mabulu”, kibonesha buludi buja bwakale bwa buja-bumanyishi bwa maalu a ntendekelo a Adventisme. Mu buja-bumanyishi bwa Habakuki, mitundu ibidi ya Yoele ya “lulendo” nansha “nkembo” imwenekesha ngudi mutundu wa bantu badi—balongolola ku lwitabijo nansha badi—batumbishibwa mu lulendo. Verse wa buna wa kapetulu ibidi ukumbula mitundu ibidi ayi, ne yo ilandakana ne kifwanyikijilu kya kale kya Mufalese ne Mukongoleshi wa mpaku. Mukongoleshi wa mpaku wakaya ku nzubu yandi balongolola, ne “mwenyo” wa Mufalese “kawena woloka” bwalu “watumbuka.”
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:4.
Tala, mbilu yakwe leyi tikurisaka a yi lulamanga eka yena; kambe la lulameke u ta hanya hi ripfumelo ra yena. Habakuku 2:4.
In the next verse Habakkuk identifies the class whose hearts are lifted up in pride as drunk, thus connecting Isaiah’s and Habakkuk’s drunks with “pride.”
N̈komo muverse ya landa, Habakuki alukisa kalasi ya bantu yina myoyo na bau me telema na lulendo ya lolendo bonso balangwi, mpe na mutindu yina yandi me kangisa balangwi ya Ezaya mpe ya Habakuki na “lolendo.”
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people. Habakkuk 2:5.
Ee, kandi olwokubanga asobya olw’envinnyo, ye muntu wa malala, era tasigalanga waka; agaziya okwegomba kwe ng’amagombe, era ali ng’okufa, so tayinza kukkuta; naye yeekuŋŋaanyiza amawanga gonna, era yeefumbikira abantu bonna. Kaabakuuku 2:5.
It is worth remembering that these verses in Habakkuk were not only fulfilled in Millerite history, but their fulfillment was a common subject of both Ellen White and the early pioneers of Adventism. Those who were justified by the faith represented in verse four of Millerite history were those who endured the crisis of the first disappointment, which marked both the tarrying time and the arrival of the second angel’s message announcing the fall of Babylon. The Millerites understood within that testing history that the former covenant people, who had been historically Protestants had become the daughters of Babylon. Those Protestants were Protestants represented by the church of Sardis, representing a covenant people, for they had a “name”, symbol of both character and covenant relationship, but they were dead.
Ibutirwe ko aya magambo yo muri Habakuki atasohoye gusa mu mateka y’Abamilerite, ahubwo ko ugusohora kwayo kwari ingingo yavugwagaho kenshi na Ellen White hamwe n’abapayiniya ba mbere b’Abadivantisiti. Abatsindishirijwe no kwizera kugereranywa mu murongo wa kane wo mu mateka y’Abamilerite ni bo bihanganiye ihurizo ry’ukutenguhwa kwa mbere, kwaranze igihe cyo gutinda kimwe no kuza k’ubutumwa bwa marayika wa kabiri butangaza kugwa kwa Babuloni. Abamilerite basobanukiwe muri ayo mateka y’igeragezwa ko abantu ba mbere b’isezerano, bari basanzwe ari Abaporotesitanti mu mateka, bari barabaye abakobwa ba Babuloni. Abo Baporotesitanti ni bo Baporotesitanti bagereranywa n’itorero ry’i Sarudi, rihagarariye abantu b’isezerano, kuko bari bafite “izina”, ikimenyetso cy’imico ndetse n’isano ry’isezerano, nyamara bari bapfuye.
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Revelation 3:1.
Na kwa malaika wa kanisa lililo katika Sardi andika; Haya ndiyo asemayo yeye aliye na Roho saba za Mungu, na nyota saba; Nayajua matendo yako, ya kwamba una jina kwamba u hai, nawe umekufa. Ufunuo 3:1.
In the testing process of 1844 that began on April 19 and thereafter ended on October 22—those who failed the testing process were lifted up in pride, and if we would but read the verses that follow verse five, the characteristic of human pride is there exemplified with an illustration of papal arrogance and self-exaltation. It ends in verse twenty where it is pronounced that the Lord is in His holy temple, let all the earth keep silent.
1844년의 시험 과정은 4월 19일에 시작되어 그 후 10월 22일에 마쳐졌는데, 그 시험 과정을 통과하지 못한 자들은 교만 가운데 높아졌으며, 우리가 다만 5절 다음에 이어지는 구절들을 읽는다면, 인간의 교만의 특성이 교황권의 오만과 자기 높임에 대한 한 예증과 함께 거기에 제시되어 있음을 보게 된다. 그것은 20절에서 “오직 여호와는 그의 성전에 계시니 온 땅은 그 앞에서 잠잠할지니라”라고 선포됨으로 끝난다.
But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. Habakkuk 2:20.
Lakini Bwana yumo katika hekalu lake takatifu; dunia yote na inyamaze mbele zake. Habakuki 2:20.
Verse two of Habakkuk chapter two identifies the first disappointment of April 19, 1844 and the chapter ends in verse twenty, which clearly marks October 22, 1844 when the Lord came suddenly to His temple.
Titi ya mbili ya Habakuki sura ya pili yatambulisha kukatishwa tamaa kwa kwanza kwa tarehe 19 Aprili 1844, na sura hiyo yamalizikia katika titi ya ishirini, ambayo yaonyesha waziwazi tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844, wakati Bwana alikuja ghafula hekaluni Mwake.

“The coming of Christ as our high priest to the most holy place, for the cleansing of the sanctuary, brought to view in Daniel 8:14; the coming of the Son of man to the Ancient of Days, as presented in Daniel 7:13; and the coming of the Lord to His temple, foretold by Malachi, are descriptions of the same event; and this is also represented by the coming of the bridegroom to the marriage, described by Christ in the parable of the ten virgins, of Matthew 25.” The Great Controversy, 426.
“Kristo kuiza kwetu kama Kuhani wetu Mkuu katika Patakatifu pa Patakatifu, kwa ajili ya kutakaswa kwa patakatifu, kama kunavyoonyeshwa katika Danieli 8:14; kuja kwa Mwana wa Adamu kwa Mzee wa Siku, kama kunavyowasilishwa katika Danieli 7:13; na kuja kwa Bwana katika hekalu Lake, kama kulivyotabiriwa na Malaki, ni maelezo ya tukio lilelile; na jambo hili pia linaonyeshwa kwa kuja kwa bwana arusi arusini, kama kulivyoelezwa na Kristo katika mfano wa wanawali kumi, wa Mathayo 25.” Pambano Kuu, 426.
Verses three and four identify the two classes which are produced in the testing process of verse two through to verse twenty, the testing process of April 19, 1844 unto October 22, 1844. Verse four through nineteen are addressing the papal power with the exception of verse fourteen which addresses the history that follows the descent of the angel of Revelation chapter eighteen at 9/11.
Umurongo wa gatatu n’uwa kane ugaragaza amatsinda abiri avamo mu gikorwa cyo kugeragezwa kivugwa mu murongo wa kabiri kugeza ku murongo wa makumyabiri, ari cyo gikorwa cyo kugeragezwa cyo kuva ku wa 19 Mata 1844 kugeza ku wa 22 Ukwakira 1844. Umurongo wa kane kugeza ku wa cumi n’icyenda werekeye ububasha bwa papa, usibye umurongo wa cumi na kane werekeye amateka akurikira kumanuka kwa marayika wo mu Byahishuwe igice cya cumi n’umunani kuri 9/11.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14.
Ngekua kizumbulwa ni bumanyi bwa lukumo lwa Mukama, nga meeya bwe gasaanikira ennyanja. Habakkuk 2:14.
In the testing process of the second angel in Millerite history two classes of worshippers were developed and thereafter manifested at the crisis of October 22, 1844. The character of the wicked in the passage is the character of the papacy, and in that testing period the faithful Millerites came to proclaim in agreement with the message of the second angel that the Protestant church had become the daughters of Rome through their rejection of the Millerite message. The controversy that unfolded between the starting at April 19 and the ending on October 22 is where character either as a proud drinker of Babylon’s wine as was Belshazzar or as someone who like Daniel before Belshazzar was justified by his faith. That controversy is where the drama unfolds that awakens the world to the eternal realities associated with the third angel’s message. The backdrop of the drunk verses the justified is placed within the context of the argument being how the world is enlightened to the issues, “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.” That enlightening began at 9/11.
Mchakato wa kupimwa wa malaika wa pili katika historia ya Wamillerite ulizaa makundi mawili ya waabudu, ambayo baadaye yalidhihirishwa wakati wa kilele cha tarehe 22 Oktoba, 1844. Tabia ya waovu katika kifungu hicho ni tabia ya upapa, na katika kipindi hicho cha kupimwa Wamillerite waaminifu walikuja kutangaza, kwa mapatano na ujumbe wa malaika wa pili, kwamba kanisa la Kiprotestanti lilikuwa limekuwa binti za Rumi kwa sababu ya kuukataa ujumbe wa Wamillerite. Mabishano yaliyotokea kati ya mwanzo wa Aprili 19 na mwisho wa Oktoba 22 ndiyo mahali ambapo tabia hujidhihirisha ama kama mnywaji mwenye kiburi wa divai ya Babeli kama alivyokuwa Belshaza, au kama mtu ambaye, kama Danieli mbele ya Belshaza, alihesabiwa haki kwa imani yake. Mabishano hayo ndiyo mahali ambapo tamthilia inajitokeza na kuuamsha ulimwengu kwa uhalisi wa milele unaohusiana na ujumbe wa malaika wa tatu. Mandhari ya walevi dhidi ya waliohesabiwa haki imewekwa ndani ya muktadha wa hoja ya jinsi ulimwengu unavyoangaziwa kuhusu masuala hayo: “Kwa maana dunia itajazwa maarifa ya utukufu wa Bwana, kama vile maji yanavyoifunika bahari.” Kuangaziwa huko kulianza tarehe 9/11.
At the conclusion of the history represented in Habakkuk chapter two the Lord suddenly came to His temple on October 22, 1844. He did so in fulfillment of the prophecy that He set forth as Palmoni in verse fourteen of Daniel eight.
Muuya gwa byafaayo ebikiikiriddwa mu Habakkuk esuula ey’okubiri, Mukama yajja mu bwangu eri yeekaalu Ye nga October 22, 1844. Kino yakikola mu kutuukiriza obunnabbi bwe yateeka mu maaso nga Palmoni mu lunyiriri olw’ekkumi n’ennya olwa Danyeri munaana.

On the tenth day of the seventh month of the biblical calendar, which in 1844 fell upon the twenty-second day of the tenth month, Habakkuk 2:20 was fulfilled, and the symbolical number “220” can be seen in the ‘chapter and verse’ which identifies a dispensational change in the work of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary. A prophetic characteristic of the one hundred and forty-four thousand is that they are those who follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth. To follow Christ means to follow Him in His Word.
Mu biblia y’amezi arindwi, ku munsi wa cumi, ari wo mu mwaka wa 1844 wagwiriye ku munsi wa makumyabiri na kabiri w’ukwezi kwa cumi, Habakuki 2:20 yarasohoye, kandi umubare w’ikigereranyo “220” ushobora kubonwa mu “gice n’umurongo” biranga impinduka y’ibihe by’ugucungura mu murimo wa Kristo mu buturo bwo mu ijuru. Ikiranga cy’ubuhanuzi cy’abihumbi ijana na mirongo ine na bine ni uko ari abakurikira Umwana w’Intama aho ajya hose. Gukurikira Kristo bisobanura kumukurikira mu Ijambo Rye.
In His Word, the number “220” symbolically represents the combination of divinity and humanity, and the very work Christ began on that date was the work of combining His divinity with humanity. In 1844 on the twenty-second day of the tenth month, or symbolically twenty-two times ten equaling “220” (22 X 10 = 220) or you might say, on the very date that equates symbolically to “220,” Habakkuk “2:20” was fulfilled as Christ moved from the holy place to the Most Holy Place to begin the investigative judgment.
Neno Lyawe, nambari “220” kwa ishara huwakilisha muungano wa Uungu na ubinadamu, na kazi yenyewe ambayo Kristo alianza katika tarehe hiyo ilikuwa kazi ya kuunganisha Uungu Wake na ubinadamu. Mwaka 1844, siku ya ishirini na mbili ya mwezi wa kumi, au kwa ishara ishirini na mbili mara kumi ikiwa sawa na “220” (22 X 10 = 220), au waweza kusema, katika tarehe yenyewe ambayo kwa ishara ni sawa na “220,” Habakuki “2:20” ilitimizwa Kristo alipohama kutoka Patakatifu pa mahali patakatifu kwenda Patakatifu pa Patakatifu pa Patakatifu ili kuanza hukumu ya uchunguzi.
Palmoni, the Wonderful Number stands within the ‘question and answer’ that is the central pillar of Adventism and most Adventists are fully unaware of that truth.
Palmoni, e Ciwanê Hejmarê, di nav wê “pirs û bersivê” de radiweste ku stûna navendî ya Adventîzmê ye, û piraniya Adventîstan bi tevahî ji wê rastiyê bêagah in.
“The scripture which above all others had been both the foundation and central pillar of the Advent faith was the declaration, ‘Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.’ [Daniel 8:14.]” The Great Controversy, 409.
“Ebyahandiiko, ekisinga byonna ebirala okuba ng’ensibuko era empagi enkulu ey’omu makkati ey’okukkiriza okw’Abadiventi, kyali ekirangiriro kino nti, ‘Okutuusa ku nnaku enkumi bbiri mu bisatu; awo ekifo ekitukuvu kirimala okutukuzibwa.’ [Danyeri 8:14.]” Olutalo Olukulu, 409.
Daniel chapter eight verses thirteen and fourteen represent a question in verse thirteen that is followed by an answer in verse fourteen. The Hebrew word Palmoni is translated as “that certain saint” in verse thirteen, and that particular name of Christ means the Wonderful Numberer or the Numberer of Secrets.
Daniel kapita ya munane, verse ya kumi na tatu na kumi na ine, zinaonesha ulizo mu verse ya kumi na tatu uliofuatwa na jawabu mu verse ya kumi na ine. Neno la Kiebrania *Palmoni* limetafsiriwa kuwa “mtakatifu fulani” mu verse ya kumi na tatu, na jina hilo la pekee la Kristo linamaanisha Mhesabu wa Ajabu ao Mhesabu wa Siri.
When Ellen White identifies that verse fourteen is the central pillar and foundation of Adventism, she places the divine emphasis upon the question and answer of these two verses which demands that Christ as the Wonderful Numberer must be the primary point of reference. Sister White repeatedly emphasized the importance of viewing Christ as the central truth of any passage, and in verses thirteen and fourteen there is a direct appearance of Christ—“that certain saint,”—who is Palmoni.
Kun Ellen White aroromela ta korikriari kunu kwamba aya ya kumi na nne ndiyo nguzo kuu na msingi wa Uadventista, anaweka mkazo wa kimungu juu ya swali na jibu la aya hizi mbili, jambo linalodai kwamba Kristo, kama Yule Mhesabu wa Ajabu, lazima awe kiini cha kwanza cha marejeo. Dada White alisisitiza mara nyingi umuhimu wa kumtazama Kristo kuwa ndiye kweli ya katikati ya fungu lolote, na katika aya ya kumi na tatu na ya kumi na nne kuna kutokea kwa moja kwa moja kwa Kristo—“mtakatifu yule fulani,”—ambaye ndiye Palmoni.
When Adventism rejected the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six in 1863, they closed their eyes to Palmoni, for the prophetic structure of the question and answer is based upon the relationship of Moses’ “seven times” and Daniel’s “twenty-three hundred days.” Moses’ “seven times” or twenty-five hundred and twenty years and Daniel’s “twenty-three hundred evenings and mornings” or twenty-three hundred years prophetic relationship is established by time, which is represented by numbers, and the Wonderful Numberer is right in the center of the question and answer that are the central pillar of Adventism. Those who may have read the writings of Josephus might remember his logical arguments identifying two special things created by God. One was the Hebrew language and the other was measurable time, which in turns requires mathematics.

Verse thirteen asks “How long?” The verse does not ask “when,” it asks “how long?” If the question is about duration (how long?) or if the question is about a point in time (when?) is essential to correctly understand. The answer to the question in verse fourteen is either identifying a point in time, or a period of time and possibly both, but whatever the answer may be it must be set within the context of the question of verse thirteen. To rightly divide the word, or that is to say to rightly understand the answer of verse fourteen requires a correct understanding of the context of the question. Is it “when” or “then?”
Aya ya kumi na tatu inauliza, “Hadi lini?” Aya hiyo haiulizi, “lini,” bali inauliza, “hadi lini?” Ikiwa swali linahusu muda wa kudumu (hadi lini?) au ikiwa swali linahusu nukta fulani ya wakati (lini?) ni jambo la msingi kwa uelewa sahihi. Jibu la swali katika aya ya kumi na nne ama linatambulisha nukta fulani ya wakati, au kipindi cha wakati, na yawezekana vyote viwili; lakini lo lote ambalo jibu hilo litakuwa, ni lazima liwekwe ndani ya muktadha wa swali la aya ya kumi na tatu. Kuligawa Neno kwa haki, yaani kusema, kulielewa kwa usahihi jibu la aya ya kumi na nne, kunahitaji uelewa sahihi wa muktadha wa swali hilo. Je, ni “lini” au “hadi lini?”
The drunkards of Ephraim vaguely teach that verse fourteen is identifying a point in time, which they identify as October 22, 1844, and when they do so they may very well refer to the passage we just cited from The Great Controversy, but God’s Word never changes and it never fails. The question of “how long” is identifying duration, not a point in time. October 22, 1844 began the period of the investigative judgment and the truths associated with that work represent the everlasting gospel and are much more important than simply the date it started.
Abasinzi b’Efurayimu bigisha mu buryo butajijutse ko umurongo wa cumi n’ine werekana igihe runaka, bakakimenya ko ari ku wa 22 Ukwakira 1844; kandi iyo babigenje batyo, bashobora rwose kwifashisha igice twamaze kuvana muri The Great Controversy, ariko Ijambo ry’Imana ntirihinduka kandi ntirijya ritsindwa. Ikibazo cya “kugeza ryari” kigaragaza igihe kingana, si ingingo runaka mu gihe. Ku wa 22 Ukwakira 1844 hatangiye igihe cy’urubanza rw’iperereza, kandi ukuri kujyana n’uwo murimo guhagarariye ubutumwa bwiza bw’iteka kandi ni ingenzi cyane kurusha kuba gusa itariki bwatangiriyeho.
The Hebrew grammar is clear, and that identical meaning was translated into the King James Version. Not only is the grammar clearly placing the question in the context of duration, but the question “how long” is a symbol of biblical prophecy. It can be demonstrated upon several witnesses that the question “how long” as a symbol represents the history of 9/11 unto the Sunday law. We will first consider the symbol of “how long” before we return to Palmoni and Joel.
muundo gwa Kiebrania uko wazi, nayo hiyo maana ileile ilitafsiriwa katika King James Version. Si kwamba muundo wa sarufi unaweka swali hilo waziwazi tu katika muktadha wa muda wa kudumu, bali pia swali “mpaka lini” ni ishara ya unabii wa kibiblia. Yaweza kuonyeshwa kwa mashahidi kadhaa kwamba swali “mpaka lini,” kama ishara, linawakilisha historia ya 9/11 hata kufikia sheria ya Jumapili. Kwanza tutaiangalia ishara ya “mpaka lini” kabla ya kurudi kwa Palmoni na Yoeli.
How Long? Isaiah Six
تا کەی؟ ئیشایا ٦
In Isaiah chapter six verse three the angels identify that the earth is full of God’s glory.
ਇਸਾਇਆ ਅਧਿਆਇ ਛੇ ਪਦ ਤਿੰਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੂਤ ਇਹ ਘੋਸ਼ਿਤ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਧਰਤੀ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਨਾਲ ਭਰੀ ਹੋਈ ਹੈ।
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. Isaiah 6:3.
Uye mmoja akamwitia mwenzake, akasema, Mtakatifu, mtakatifu, mtakatifu, ni BWANA wa majeshi; dunia yote imejaa utukufu wake. Isaya 6:3.
Sister White connects the descent of the angel of Revelation eighteen with the angels if verse three.
Munyanya White alumikiza kutsika kwa malaika wa Chivumbulutso 18 ndi angelo a m’vesi 3.
“As they [the angels] see the future, when the whole earth shall be filled with His glory, the triumphant song of praise is echoed from one to another in melodious chant, ‘Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of Hosts.’” Review and Herald, December 22, 1896.
“Abalosi bwe balola eby’omu maaso, ekiseera lwe kirituuka ensi yonna n’ejjula ekitiibwa Kye, oluyimba olw’obuwanguzi olw’okumutendereza ne luddibwamu okuva ku omu okudda ku munne mu kuyimba okw’obulungi nti, ‘Mutukuvu, mutukuvu, mutukuvu, ye Mukama w’Eggye.’” Review and Herald, December 22, 1896.
Isaiah is at 9/11 and he asks “how long” he must present the message of 9/11 to a Laodicean people who do not wish to see or hear. He is told he must persevere until the cities are broken down, and the destruction of the cities, which begins at the Sunday law when national apostasy is followed by national ruin.
Esaya yuko katika 9/11, naye anauliza, “Hata lini,” inapasa awasilishe ujumbe wa 9/11 kwa watu wa Laodikia wasiotaka kuona wala kusikia. Anaambiwa kwamba ni lazima adumu kwa ustahimilivu mpaka miji ibomolewe; na uharibifu wa miji hiyo huanza katika sheria ya Jumapili, wakati uasi wa taifa unapofuatwa na maangamizi ya taifa.
Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, And the Lord have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof. Isaiah 6:11–13.
Nĩ ũyũ ngĩaria atĩrĩ, Mwathani, nginya rĩ? Nake akĩnjookia atĩrĩ, Nginya matũũra marĩe marĩkũrũrwo, motingĩgĩra andũ matũũrĩte, na nyũmba itingĩgĩra mũndũ, na bũrũri ũtuĩke gĩthaka gĩa kũrĩa gũtigathii mũndũ; na Jehova nĩakamakũnia andũ marutwo kũraya mũno, na gũgaakorwo kũrĩ na kũrĩkwo gũnene gatagatĩ-inĩ ga bũrũri.

Isaia 6:11–13.
At 9/11, when the earth was lightened with God’s glory Isaiah is anointed to present the latter rain message and he asks “how long” does he need to present the message of 9/11 to people whose hearts are fat? The answer is “until” the Sunday law, when there will be “a great forsaking in the midst of the land.” The “great forsaking” is accomplished by Laodicean Adventism who Isaiah in chapter twenty-two, represents as Shebna.
Ku 9/11, mgbe e ji ebube Chineke mee ka ụwa nwuo ìhè, a tere Aịsaịa mmanụ ka o wepụta ozi mmiri-ozuzo ikpeazụ, ọ jụkwaa, “ruo ole mgbe” ka ọ ga na-ewetara ndị obi ha gbara abụba ozi nke 9/11?

Behold, the Lord will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord’s house. And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. Isaiah 22:17–19.
Lolangisa, Nkosi akakutwala kuhuvya kukulu, ndipo ndithu akakufunika. Ndithu akakuzungulusya kwa nguvu na kukukoma ngati mpila ku nchi yakweene: uko ukafwa, na uko magari gha uchindami wako ghakaŵa soni ya nyumba ya fumu yako. Ndipo nikakuchimbizga pa malo ghako, ndipo pa udindo wako wakakugwisya pasi. Yesaya 22:17–19.
Laodicean Adventism forsake the truth at the Sunday law and are there “overthrown” as represented in Daniel chapter eleven verse forty-one.
Aventista wa Laodikia huiacha kweli katika sheria ya Jumapili na hapo “huangushwa,” kama ilivyowakilishwa katika Danieli mlango wa kumi na moja mstari wa arobaini na mmoja.
He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. Daniel 11:41.
Ati ukwingira no mu gihugu cy’ubwiza, kandi ibihugu byinshi bizatsindwa; ariko aba ni bo bazarokoka bavuye mu kuboko kwe, ari bo Edomu, na Mowabu, n’abakuru bo mu bana ba Amoni. Daniyeli 11:41.
When Isaiah asks “how long,” he is told to present the message to Adventism right up to the Sunday law when the “many” of Daniel eleven verse forty-one will be “overthrown,” when they forsake the Sabbath and God. They will then be spewed out of the mouth of the Lord as represented in the book of Revelation, where all the books of the Bible meet and end, and where Isaiah twenty-two Shebna being “violently” tossed “like a ball into a large country” as they are “removed” “far away.”
Ŋwene Yesaya a puɗi, “haa noye?”, o wi’i e mo yo o waɗu ɓeydaaki nder Adventism haa yaasi dooka Alahade, nde “ɓe ɗuɗɓe” ɓe Daniyel sapo e go’o aayaas 41 maa “yoppitee,” nde ɓe alata Asabbata e Alla.

In that time period the remnant, represented as a “tenth” (which is a tithe) “return”; who in the passage are compared to trees which have “substance” that remains when the leaves are cast off. “Leaves” represent profession in prophetic symbolism. When Adventism comes to the Sunday law and accepts the first day of the week in place of God’s Sabbath, they will cast off their leaves of “profession” and no longer claim to uphold God’s seventh-day Sabbath.

“The cursing of the fig tree was an acted parable. That barren tree, flaunting its pretentious foliage in the very face of Christ, was a symbol of the Jewish nation. The Saviour desired to make plain to His disciples the cause and the certainty of Israel’s doom. For this purpose He invested the tree with moral qualities, and made it the expositor of divine truth. The Jews stood forth distinct from all other nations, professing allegiance to God. They had been specially favored by Him, and they laid claim to righteousness above every other people. But they were corrupted by the love of the world and the greed of gain. They boasted of their knowledge, but they were ignorant of the requirements of God, and were full of hypocrisy. Like the barren tree, they spread their pretentious branches aloft, luxuriant in appearance, and beautiful to the eye, but they yielded “nothing but leaves.” The Jewish religion, with its magnificent temple, its sacred altars, its mitered priests and impressive ceremonies, was indeed fair in outward appearance, but humility, love, and benevolence were lacking.
“Mutĩ mũkuyu kũrũgĩrwo kwari mĩtharĩ ya kĩhĩtũkĩro ĩkoretwo na gũcokio na kĩendo.

“All the trees in the fig orchard were destitute of fruit; but the leafless trees raised no expectation, and caused no disappointment. By these trees the Gentiles were represented. They were as destitute as were the Jews of godliness; but they had not professed to serve God. They made no boastful pretensions to goodness. They were blind to the works and ways of God. With them the time of figs was not yet. They were still waiting for a day which would bring them light and hope. The Jews, who had received greater blessings from God, were held accountable for their abuse of these gifts. The privileges of which they boasted only increased their guilt.” The Desire of Ages. 582, 583.
“Mtini yote katika bustani ya mitini ilikuwa haina matunda; lakini miti isiyo na majani haikutarajiwa kuzaa, wala haikusababisha masikitiko. Kwa miti hiyo Mataifa yaliwakilishwa. Yalikuwa maskini wa utauwa kama Wayahudi walivyokuwa; lakini hayakuwa yamedai kumtumikia Mungu. Hayakujivunia madai ya kujionyesha kuwa mema. Yalikuwa vipofu kwa kazi na njia za Mungu. Kwao wakati wa tini ulikuwa haujafika bado. Yalikuwa bado yakingoja siku ambayo ingewaletea nuru na tumaini. Wayahudi, waliokuwa wamepokea baraka kubwa zaidi kutoka kwa Mungu, walihesabiwa kuwajibika kwa matumizi mabaya ya vipawa hivyo. Haki hizo walizojivunia ziliongeza tu hatia yao.” The Desire of Ages. 582, 583.
At the Sunday law Laodicean Adventism’s profession of being God’s covenant people is gone as they accept the mark of the covenant of death and reject the seal of the covenant of life. They then cast off their leaves of profession and what is brought to view is a remnant represented by Isaiah, who at 9/11 “returned” to the old paths, were then humbled into the dust when they (Isaiah) realized his corrupted experience, and was thereafter purified with a coal from off the altar. Sister White informs us the coal from the altar represents purification, but purification is simply what is accomplished by the coal touching Isaiah’s lips.

“The live coal is symbolical of purification. If it touches the lips, no impure word will fall from them. The live coal also symbolizes the potency of the efforts of the servants of the Lord.” Review and Herald, October 16, 1888.
“Amakala gakwenda kali kyakulangilako kya kusangululwa. Nga gakoma ku minomo, takwakafume iswi ilyabipa ukufuma muli yo. Amakala gakwenda gali pamo kyakulangilako kya amaka ya milimo ya babomfi ba Mfumu.” Review and Herald, October 16, 1888.
The “coal” from the altar that are cast to earth in the last days are the coals cast to earth when the seventh and final seal is opened in the first five verses of Revelation chapter eight. Isaiah, and therefore the one hundred and forty-four thousand are purified by the coal touching their lips, but the “coal” is a message. It touches their lips when they take the book out of the angel’s hand and eat.
“Makala” kutoka madhabahuni yanayotupwa duniani katika siku za mwisho ni yale makala yanayotupwa duniani muhuri wa saba na wa mwisho unapofunguliwa katika aya tano za kwanza za Ufunuo sura ya nane. Isaya, na kwa hiyo wale mia moja arobaini na nne elfu, husafishwa kwa lile gala kugusa midomo yao, lakini “makala” ni ujumbe. Huyagusa midomo yao wanapoichukua kile kitabu kutoka mkononi mwa malaika na kukila.
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17.
እውነትህን በመጠቀም ቀድሳቸው፤ ቃልህ እውነት ነው። ዮሐንስ 17፥17።
Those who “return” and become the remnant (residue) are represented as being the oak and teal trees, and just as Christ had “invested the tree with moral qualities, and made it the expositor of divine truth” Isaiah’s trees have the “moral quality” within them as represented by the “substance.” The substance remains with the trees, even when those who were only leaves of profession are cast off. The “holy seed” is the “substance” and Christ is the “holy seed” of prophecy. Those trees who are represented as the remnant and by Isaiah himself in chapter six represents men and therefore humanity and the holy seed represent divinity. Thus, Isaiah six identifies the purification of Adventism from 9/11 unto the Sunday law, and the details which Isaiah contributes to that prophetic history are all represented by his question of “how long”. For Isaiah the answer to “how long” was from 9/11 unto the Sunday law.
Aba “garuka” maze bakaba abasigaye (igisigazwa) bagereranywa n’imiti ya oki n’iya tewari; kandi nk’uko Kristo yari “yarahaye igiti imico mboneragisibo, kandi akakigira umusobanuro w’ukuri kw’ijuru,” ni ko n’ibiti bya Yesaya bifite uwo “muco mboneragisibo” muri byo nk’uko ugereranywa n’“igihimba.” Icyo gihimba kigumana n’ibyo biti, ndetse n’igihe abari amababi y’umwuga gusa bavanwaho. “Urubuto rwera” ni rwo “gihimba,” kandi Kristo ni we “rubuto rwera” rw’ubuhanuzi. Ibyo biti bigereranywa n’abasigaye, kandi na Yesaya ubwe mu gice cya gatandatu agereranya abantu, bityo bikagereranya ubumuntu; naho urubuto rwera rugereranya ubumana. Ni cyo gituma Yesaya gatandatu igaragaza kwezwa kw’Abadiventisimu kuva ku wa 9/11 kugeza ku itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru, kandi ibisobanuro Yesaya yongerera kuri urwo ruhererekane rw’ubuhanuzi byose bigereranywa n’ikibazo cye ngo “kugeza ryari?” Kuri Yesaya, igisubizo cy’icyo kibazo ngo “kugeza ryari?” cyari kuva ku wa 9/11 kugeza ku itegeko ryo ku Cyumweru.
How Long? 1840–1844
تا کەی؟ 1840–1844
August 11, 1840 typified 9/11 and with the prophetic history of August 11, 1840 unto October 22, 1844 the battle of Mount Carmel between Elijah and Jezebel’s prophets took place. Ultimately the prophets of Baal were demonstrated to be false prophets and executed by Elijah, but at the very outset of the confrontation Elijah asked the question, “how long” halt you between two opinions.
1840 mvu a 11 le 9/11 a sini to yandiki, mpe na lisolo ya esakweli uta 1840 mvu a 11, mokolo mwa mwambe, kino 1844 mvu a 22, mokolo mwa zomi, etumba ya Ngomba Karmeli kati na Eliya mpe basakoli ya Yezabele esalemaki. Na suka ya nyonso, emonisamaki ete basakoli ya Baala bazalaki basakoli ya lokuta, mpe Eliya abomaki bango; kasi na ebandeli mpenza ya bokutani yango Eliya atunaki motuna oyo: “kino ntango boni” bokokoba kotelema kati na makanisi mibale.
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the Lord; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 1 Kings 18:21, 22.
Eliya akĩũka kũrĩ andũ othe, akiuga atĩrĩ, Nĩ nginya rĩngĩ mũgĩtũũra mũhenya-inĩ gatagatĩ ka meciiria meerĩ? Angĩkorwo Jehova nĩwe Ngai, mũmũfollowe; no angĩkorwo nĩ Baali, hĩndĩ ĩyo mũmũfollowe. No andũ matiamũcookeria ndeto o na ĩmwe. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Eliya akĩĩra andũ atĩrĩ, Niĩ, niĩ nyene nduire ndĩ mũnabii wa Jehova; no anabii a Baali nĩ andũ magana mana na mĩrongo ĩtano. 1 Athamaki 18:21, 22.
Elijah is at August 11, 1840; asking that generation whether the Millerite message is true or is it false? It is another message to Laodicea, as was Isaiah six.
Elija yuko katika Agosti 11, 1840; akiuliza kizazi hicho ikiwa ujumbe wa Wamilleri ni wa kweli au ni wa uongo? Ni ujumbe mwingine kwa Laodikia, kama ilivyokuwa Isaya 6.
“Thousands were led to embrace the truth preached by William Miller, and servants of God were raised up in the spirit and power of Elijah to proclaim the message. Like John, the forerunner of Jesus, those who preached this solemn message felt compelled to lay the ax at the root of the tree, and call upon men to bring forth fruits meet for repentance. Their testimony was calculated to arouse and powerfully affect the churches and manifest their real character. And as the solemn warning to flee from the wrath to come was sounded, many who were united with the churches received the healing message; they saw their backslidings, and with bitter tears of repentance and deep agony of soul, humbled themselves before God. And as the Spirit of God rested upon them, they helped to sound the cry, ‘Fear God, and give glory to Him; for the hour of His judgment is come.’” Early Writings, 233.
Maelfu waliongozwa kuikumbatia kweli iliyohubiriwa na William Miller, na watumishi wa Mungu waliinuliwa katika roho na nguvu za Eliya ili kuitangaza ujumbe huo. Kama Yohane, mtangulizi wa Yesu, wale waliohubiri ujumbe huu wa uzito walijihisi kulazimishwa kuliweka shoka kwenye shina la mti, na kuwaita watu wazae matunda yapasayo toba. Ushuhuda wao ulikusudiwa kuyaamsha na kuyaathiri makanisa kwa nguvu na kudhihirisha tabia yao halisi. Nayo onyo hilo zito la kuukimbia ghadhabu ijayo lilipotangazwa, wengi waliokuwa wameungana na makanisa waliupokea ujumbe wa uponyaji; waliona kurudi nyuma kwao, na kwa machozi machungu ya toba na kwa uchungu mkuu wa nafsi, walijinyenyekeza mbele za Mungu. Nayo Roho wa Mungu ilipokaa juu yao, walisaidia kuipaza sauti kilio hiki, ‘Mcheni Mungu, na kumtukuza; kwa maana saa ya hukumu yake imekuja.’” Early Writings, 233.
In the testing history of 1840 to 1844 the Protestants who rejected the message of Elijah became the daughters of Rome and surrendered the mantle of Protestantism unto Millerite Adventism. With Isaiah and Elijah, we have two witnesses which testify to the fact that the question “how long” is a symbol of the history that begins at 9/11 and ends at the Sunday law. In the Millerite history August 11, 1840 aligns with 9/11, and October 22, 1844 aligns with the Sunday law. When fire came down out of heaven and consumed Elijah’s offering the twelve stones were all illuminated with the offering, thus marking the one hundred and forty-four thousand as an ensign represented as illuminated stones. The false prophets were then slain by Elijah just as the United States, the false prophet is slain as the sixth kingdom at the Sunday law.
1840年から1844年にわたる試みの歴史において、エリヤの使命を拒んだプロテスタントたちはローマの娘たちとなり、プロテスタンティズムの外套をミラー派アドベンチズムに明け渡した。イザヤとエリヤによって、私たちは、「いつまで」という問いが、9・11に始まり日曜法で終わる歴史の象徴であるという事実を証言する二人の証人を有している。ミラー派の歴史においては、1840年8月11日は9・11に対応し、1844年10月22日は日曜法に対応する。天から火が下ってエリヤのささげ物を焼き尽くしたとき、十二の石はみなそのささげ物とともに照らし出され、それによって十四万四千人が、照らされた石として表される旗印であることが示された。その後、偽預言者たちはエリヤによって殺されたが、それはちょうど、偽預言者であるアメリカ合衆国が、日曜法において第六の王国として殺されるのと同様である。
Isaiah six is emphasizing a testing, purging and purification process among God’s people from 9/11 unto the Sunday law. Elijah is addressing the Laodicean attitude of God’s people, but also providing evidence between a true and false prophet and in turn a true or false message. Thus, beginning from August 11, 1840 and ending on October 22, 1844 a prophetic test was brought upon the Protestants of the period of Sardis, and just as the fire at Mount Carmel produced a division into two classes, two classes were manifested in 1844. One class in the testing process was the soon-to-be “former” covenant people, and the other class was Millerite Adventism that God would enter into covenant with on October 22, 1844. The period of testing and division is the story of the vineyard as Millerite Adventism was shown to be the true prophet at the same point that Sardian Protestantism began to fulfill its role as apostate Protestantism. Just as the prophets of Baal were exposed as false, so to was the former covenant people exposed and then identified by the Millerites as a daughter of Rome. The story of Mount Carmel and also the fulfillment of that history in the time of the Millerites provides a second witness to Isaiah six’s that the question, “how long” is a symbol of the period of time from 9/11 unto the Sunday law.
Yesaya sita inasisitiza mchakato wa kujaribiwa, kutakaswa, na kusafishwa miongoni mwa watu wa Mungu tangu 9/11 hadi sheria ya Jumapili. Eliya analishughulikia tabia ya Walaodikia ya watu wa Mungu, lakini pia anatoa ushahidi unaotofautisha kati ya nabii wa kweli na wa uongo, na kwa hivyo pia kati ya ujumbe wa kweli na wa uongo. Hivyo basi, kuanzia Agosti 11, 1840 na kuishia Oktoba 22, 1844, jaribio la kiunabii liliwaletea Waprotestanti wa kipindi cha Sardi; na kama vile moto katika Mlima Karmeli ulivyozalisha mgawanyiko katika makundi mawili, ndivyo makundi mawili yalivyodhihirishwa mwaka 1844. Kundi moja katika mchakato wa kujaribiwa lilikuwa watu wa agano waliokuwa karibu kuwa wa “zamani,” na kundi jingine lilikuwa Uadventista wa Millerite ambao Mungu angeingia nao katika agano tarehe 22 Oktoba, 1844. Kipindi cha kujaribiwa na mgawanyiko ndicho kisa cha shamba la mizabibu, kwa kuwa Uadventista wa Millerite ulionyeshwa kuwa nabii wa kweli wakati huohuo ambapo Uprotestanti wa Kisardi ulianza kutimiza wajibu wake kama Uprotestanti ulioasi. Kama vile manabii wa Baali walivyofunuliwa kuwa wa uongo, vivyo hivyo watu wa agano la zamani walifunuliwa, kisha wakatambulishwa na Wamillerite kuwa binti wa Roma. Kisa cha Mlima Karmeli, na pia utimilifu wa historia hiyo katika wakati wa Wamillerite, vinatoa shahidi wa pili kwa Yesaya sita kwamba swali, “hata lini,” ni ishara ya kipindi cha wakati tangu 9/11 hadi sheria ya Jumapili.
“‘Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel,’ the prophet pleads, ‘let it be known this day that Thou art God in Israel, and that I am Thy servant, and that I have done all these things at Thy word. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that Thou art the Lord God, and that Thou hast turned their heart back again.’
“‘Bwana Mungu wa Ibrahimu, Isaka, na wa Israeli,’ nabii huyo anasihi, ‘na ijulikane leo kwamba Wewe ndiwe Mungu katika Israeli, na kwamba mimi ni mtumishi wako, na kwamba nimefanya mambo haya yote kwa neno lako. Unisikie, Ee Bwana, unisikie, ili watu hawa wajue kwamba Wewe ndiwe Bwana Mungu, na kwamba Wewe umeigeuza mioyo yao irudi tena.’”
“A silence, oppressive in its solemnity, rests upon all. The priests of Baal tremble with terror. Conscious of their guilt, they look for swift retribution.
“Wotule mwakidido, wa kulema mu butito bwawo, wikalile pa bonso. Bapriesti ba Baala bazakala ne bowa bwa kuteteleshwa. Badi ne bumanyi bwa bubi bwabo, badi batekemena dipanisho dya lukasa.
“No sooner is the prayer of Elijah ended than flames of fire, like brilliant flashes of lightning, descend from heaven upon the upreared altar, consuming the sacrifice, licking up the water in the trench, and consuming even the stones of the altar. The brilliancy of the blaze illumines the mountain and dazzles the eyes of the multitude. In the valleys below, where many are watching in anxious suspense the movements of those above, the descent of fire is clearly seen, and all are amazed at the sight. It resembles the pillar of fire which at the Red Sea separated the children of Israel from the Egyptian host.
“Elija wa kulomba kasila, myoto ya moto, bo ng’anjo syakulangana, yikasuluka ukufuma mwikulu pa kyoto kya kutandikwa, yikalyapo icabepa, yikanyanta na menshi mu mufolo, kabili yikalyapo nangu amabwe ya pa kyoto. Ukutangala kwa lulimi lwa mulilo kwamulika ulupili no kutuntumya amenso ya lukuta ulwa bantu. Mu myonga ya panshi, uko bingi baleolekesha mu kusakamana ukukalamba imicitile ya balya abali ku mulu, ukwisuluka kwa mulilo kwabonwa bwino-bwino, kabili bonse basungwike pa kumona uko. Cyalandana ne nsansa ya mulilo iyo pa Nyanja Ituntulu yapatulwile abana ba Israele ku cilwilo ca ba Egipti.”
“The people on the mount prostrate themselves in awe before the unseen God. They dare not continue to look upon the Heaven-sent fire. They fear that they themselves will be consumed; and, convicted of their duty to acknowledge the God of Elijah as the God of their fathers, to whom they owe allegiance, they cry out together as with one voice, ‘The Lord, He is the God; the Lord, He is the God.’ With startling distinctness the cry resounds over the mountain and echoes in the plain below. At last Israel is aroused, undeceived, penitent. At last the people see how greatly they have dishonored God. The character of Baal worship, in contrast with the reasonable service required by the true God, stands fully revealed. The people recognize God’s justice and mercy in withholding the dew and the rain until they have been brought to confess His name. They are ready now to admit that the God of Elijah is above every idol.” Prophets and Kings, 153.

How Long? Moses
تا كەی؟ موسا
The first time the symbolic question, “how long” is raised in the prophetic Word is in the eighth plague upon the Egyptians in the time of Moses. The eighth plague is “locusts” (a symbol of Islam) that are brought by an “east wind” (a symbol of Islam).
Mu mahanga rya mbere ikibazo cy’ikigereranyo kivuga ngo, “kugeza ryari,” kibazwa mu Ijambo ry’ubuhanuzi, ni mu cyorezo cya munani cyatewe Abanyamisiri mu gihe cya Mose. Icyorezo cya munani ni “inzige” (ikimenyetso cya Isilamu) zizanywe n’“umuyaga w’iburasirazuba” (ikimenyetso cya Isilamu).
And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me. Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, tomorrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast: And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field: And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
Na Musa na Haruni wakaingia kwa Farao, wakamwambia, Bwana, Mungu wa Waebrania, asema hivi: Hata lini utakataa kujinyenyekeza mbele zangu? Waache watu wangu waende, ili wanitumikie. Lakini, usipokubali kuwaacha watu wangu waende, tazama, kesho nitaleta nzige ndani ya mipaka yako; nao watafunika uso wa nchi, hata mtu hataweza kuiona nchi; nao watakula mabaki ya vile vilivyopona, vilivyobaki kwenu baada ya mvua ya mawe, tena watakula kila mti unaowamea kutoka kondeni. Nao watazijaza nyumba zako, na nyumba za watumishi wako wote, na nyumba za Wamisri wote; jambo ambalo baba zako wala baba za baba zako hawajaliona tangu siku walipokuwa juu ya nchi hata leo. Kisha akageuka, akatoka mbele ya Farao.
And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
Bama kisi ya Farao balombaki epai na ye ete: “Moto oyo akozala motambo mpo na biso kino ntango nini? Tiká mibali bakende, mpo básalela Yehova Nzambe na bango. Oyebi naino te ete Ejipito ebebisami?”
And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the Lord your God: but who are they that shall go?
Бэйрэалэа Мосэ ди Аарон лэ Фараон: апу хэ ичиреэ ндэ, «Апуа, лумба Нзаамби Йину йэно; вэйэ, ани баабэ букунта?»
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the Lord.
Mose alobaki: Tokokende elongo na bilenge na biso mpe na mibange na biso, elongo na bana mibali na biso mpe na bana basi na biso; tokokende mpe na bitonga na biso ya bampate mpe na bitonga na biso ya bangombe, mpo ete tosengeli kosalela Yehova fɛti.
And he said unto them, Let the Lord be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you. Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the Lord; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.
Awaambila kuti, “Yehova abe hamwe na imwe nk’uko nzobareka ngo mugende, mwebwe n’abana banyu bato: nimwitegereze; kuko ikibi kiri imbere yanyu. Oya si ko biri: ni mugende ubu, mwebwe abagabo, mukorere Yehova; kuko ico ari co mwashatse.” Maze birukanwa bava imbere ya Farawo.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left. And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts. And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such. For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Bwana akamwambia Musa, “Nyosha mkono wako juu ya nchi ya Misri kwa ajili ya nzige, wapande juu ya nchi ya Misri na kula kila mche wa nchi, yaani, yote ambayo mvua ya mawe imeacha.” Basi Musa akaunyosha fimbo wake juu ya nchi ya Misri, naye Bwana akaleta upepo wa mashariki juu ya nchi mchana huo wote, na usiku huo wote; hata kulipopambazuka, ule upepo wa mashariki ukawaleta nzige. Nao nzige wakapanda juu ya nchi yote ya Misri, wakatua katika mipaka yote ya Misri; walikuwa wengi sana na wa kutisha; kabla yao hapakuwapo nzige kama hao, wala baada yao hawatakuwapo kamwe. Kwa maana waliifunika uso wa nchi yote, hata nchi ikatiwa giza; wakala kila mche wa nchi, na matunda yote ya miti ambayo mvua ya mawe ilikuwa imeacha; wala hakikusalia kitu chochote cha kijani katika miti, wala katika miche ya mashamba, katika nchi yote ya Misri.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the Lord your God, and against you. Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the Lord your God, that he may take away from me this death only. And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the Lord. And the Lord turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt. Exodus 10:3–19.
Kisha Farao akawaita kwa haraka Musa na Haruni; akasema, Nimefanya dhambi mbele za Bwana, Mungu wenu, na mbele yenu. Basi sasa, nakuomba, nisamehe dhambi yangu mara hii tu, ukamsihi Bwana, Mungu wenu, aniondolee mauti hii tu. Naye akatoka kwa Farao, akamsihi Bwana. Bwana akaleta upepo wa magharibi wenye nguvu nyingi sana, nao ukawachukua wale nzige na kuwapeleka katika Bahari ya Shamu; hakusalia nzige hata mmoja katika mipaka yote ya Misri. Kutoka 10:3–19.
First “the Lord God of the Hebrews” asks, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me?” and then Pharaoh’s servants thereafter asked Pharaoh again, “How long shall this man be a snare unto us?” The question is asked during the eighth plague, which aligns with 9/11 for several reasons. The tenth plague is the slaying of the first born, which aligns with the cross and is followed by the disappointment by the Red Sea, which inspiration aligns with the disappointment of the disciples at the cross, which aligns with the great disappointment of the Millerites in 1844. Those three witnesses all align with the Sunday law. The tenth plague is the Sunday law and two plagues earlier the eighth plague brought the “locusts” upon an “east wind.” The “locusts” filled the entire earth, just as Islam is shaking the entire world today as it has spread its darkness through forced immigration. The “desert locust’s” Latin name is “locusta migratoria,” representing the spread of Islam through immigration that is typified in the natural world as migration.
Le « Seigneur, Dieu des Hébreux » demande d’abord : « Jusqu’à quand refuseras-tu de t’humilier devant moi ? » Puis les serviteurs de Pharaon demandèrent de nouveau à Pharaon : « Jusqu’à quand cet homme sera-t-il pour nous un piège ? » La question est posée durant la huitième plaie, laquelle correspond au 11 septembre pour plusieurs raisons. La dixième plaie est la mise à mort des premiers-nés, laquelle correspond à la croix et est suivie de la déception au bord de la mer Rouge, que l’Inspiration fait correspondre à la déception des disciples à la croix, laquelle correspond à la grande déception des millérites en 1844. Ces trois témoins correspondent tous à la loi du dimanche. La dixième plaie est la loi du dimanche, et deux plaies plus tôt, la huitième plaie fit venir les « sauterelles » portées par un « vent d’orient ». Les « sauterelles » couvrirent toute la terre, tout comme l’islam secoue aujourd’hui le monde entier en ayant répandu ses ténèbres par l’immigration forcée. Le nom latin de la « sauterelle du désert » est « locusta migratoria », représentant l’expansion de l’islam par l’immigration, laquelle est typifiée, dans le monde naturel, par la migration.
The ninth plague was a darkness that could be felt.
Tauni ya tisa ilikuwa giza lililoweza kuhisiwa.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. Exodus 10:21–23.
Bwana akamwambia Musa, Nyosha mkono wako kuelekea mbinguni, ili kuwe na giza juu ya nchi ya Misri, naam, giza ambalo laweza kugusika. Musa akanyosha mkono wake kuelekea mbinguni; kukawa na giza nene katika nchi yote ya Misri kwa muda wa siku tatu. Hawakuonana wao kwa wao, wala hakuna mtu aliyeondoka mahali pake kwa siku tatu; lakini wana wote wa Israeli walikuwa na nuru katika makao yao. Kutoka 10:21–23.
In the symbolism of “how long” represented by Mount Carmel and Elijah there is a distinction manifested when the fire comes down out of heaven. Elijah’s God did what Baal cannot do. In Millerite history the distinction was made between fallen Sardian Protestantism and Millerite Adventism. With Moses the distinction was darkness or light. There was light in the Hebrew homes. Isaiah further informs us that those who have no light in Moses line, who are also those destroyed by Elijah, and those who lose the mantle of Protestantism in the Millerite time period are a “people” who “hear” “indeed, but understand not; and see” “indeed, but perceive not.” Then a pronouncement is made of these people which states, “Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.”
Mu busozi bw’obunnabbi obw’“okutuusa ddi” obukiikiriddwa Olusozi Kalumeeri ne Eriya, mulimu okwawula okulabisibwa omuliro bwe gukka okuva mu ggulu. Katonda wa Eriya yakola ekyo Baali ky’atasobola kukola. Mu byafaayo bya Millerite, okwawula kwakolebwa wakati wa Obupolotesitante obwa Saludi obwaggwa n’Obwadiventi bwa Millerite. Eri Musa, okwawula kwali kizikiza oba musana. Waaliwo omusana mu maka g’Abaebbulaniya. Isaaya yeeyongera okututegeeza nti abo abatalina musana mu lunyiriri lwa Musa, era be bamu ku abo abazikirizibwa Eriya, era n’abo abafiirwa ekyambalo ky’Obupolotesitante mu kiseera kya Millerite, be “ggwanga” eri “liwulira” “ddala, naye ne butategeera; era ne liraba” “ddala, naye ne butamanya.” Awo ne wabaawo okwogerwa ku bantu abo okugamba nti, “Ssa omutima gw’abantu bano amasavu, era ozitowe amatu gaabwe, era ozibe amaaso gaabwe; baleme okulaba n’amaaso gaabwe, n’okuwulira n’amatu gaabwe, n’okutegeera n’omutima gwabwe, n’okukyuka, ne bawonyezebwa.”
Willing to do the work, but overwhelmed with the assignment to preach to those who will not listen Isaiah “then said,” “Lord, how long?”
ꞌIsaya, ali tayari kufanya kazi hiyo, lakini amezidiwa na agizo la kuwahubiria wale ambao hawatasikiliza, “ndipo akasema,” “Bwana, hata lini?”
The last three of Egypt’s ten plagues provide a witness of the three steps from 9/11 unto the Sunday law. On August 11, 1840 the first angel’s message was empowered, and on April 19, 1844 the second angel arrived and was empowered at the Exeter Camp Meeting August 12–17, and the third angel arrived on October 22, 1844. The third angel aligns with the Sunday law, and therefore identifies a three-step process for you cannot have a third, without a first and a second.
Misri khokhamaumi taruk makol pator thar ah a nuk pathum nih September 11 in Sunday law tiang a thlenmi hmunthum cu tehtein a langter. August 11, 1840 ah vancungmi pakhatnak thucah cu thazang pek a si, cun April 19, 1844 ah vancungmi pahnihnak a ra thleng i, Exeter Camp Meeting ah August 12–17 chungin thazang pek a si; cun vancungmi pathumnak cu October 22, 1844 ah a ra thleng. Vancungmi pathumnak cu Sunday law he a kalhkhawm, cucaah hmunthum lei in a kalmi cangvaihnak a langter, zeicahtiah pakhatnak le pahnihnak lo loin pathumnak a um kho lo.
“The first and second messages were given in 1843 and 1844, and we are now under the proclamation of the third; but all three of the messages are still to be proclaimed. It is just as essential now as ever before that they shall be repeated to those who are seeking for the truth. By pen and voice we are to sound the proclamation, showing their order, and the application of the prophecies that bring us to the third angel’s message. There cannot be a third without the first and second. These messages we are to give to the world in publications, in discourses, showing in the line of prophetic history the things that have been and the things that will be.” Selected Messages, book 2, 104, 105.
“Ujumbe wa kwanza na wa pili ulitolewa katika miaka ya 1843 na 1844, nasi sasa tuko chini ya tangazo la ujumbe wa tatu; lakini jumbe zote tatu bado zapaswa kutangazwa. Ni muhimu sasa kama ilivyokuwa hapo awali kwamba zirudiwe kwa wale wanaoutafuta ukweli. Kwa kalamu na kwa sauti twapaswa kuutangaza ujumbe huo, tukionyesha mpangilio wake, na matumizi ya unabii yanayotufikisha kwenye ujumbe wa malaika wa tatu. Hakuwezi kuwako na wa tatu bila wa kwanza na wa pili. Jumbe hizi twapaswa kuupa ulimwengu katika machapisho na katika hotuba, tukionyesha katika mfululizo wa historia ya unabii mambo yaliyokuwapo na mambo yatakayokuwapo.” Selected Messages, kitabu cha 2, 104, 105.
The tenth plague of Egypt has been aligned by inspiration with the cross and the following disappointment associated with it. The tenth plague is therefore the third message, which of prophetic necessity must be preceded by a first and second message. At 9/11 the Lord asked Pharaoh, “how long” and immediately thereafter Pharaoh’s servants also asked, “how long.” After Moses delivered God’s question of “how long” to Pharaoh, and just before the servants repeat the question of Moses to Pharaoh, Moses marks a turning point as, “he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.” Exodus 10:6.
Ẹyẹ̀ àjàkálẹ̀-arun kẹwàá ti Ejibiti ni a ti fi ìmísí sọ̀kan pẹ̀lú àgbélébùú àti ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì tí ó tẹ̀ lé e, tí ó ní í ṣe pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.

9/11 was a prophetic turning point, that was typified when Moses delivered the plague of locusts that came on the east wind.
9/11 kwali kukyaluka kwa bupolofita, ukwaishile kulangilwa nga Mose aletile icikunkumushi ca ifikombe ifyaikile pa mpepo ya ku kabanga.
“There are periods which are turning points in the history of nations and of the church. In the providence of God, when these different crises arrive, the light for that time is given.” Bible Echo, August 26, 1895.
“ಹಲವಾರು ಅವಧಿಗಳು ಜನಾಂಗಗಳ ಇತಿಹಾಸದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಸಭೆಯ ಇತಿಹಾಸದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ತಿರುವುಮುಖಗಳಾಗಿರುವವು. ದೇವರ ದೈವಾನುಗ್ರಹಪೂರ್ಣ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆಯಲ್ಲಿ, ಈ ವಿಭಿನ್ನ ಸಂಕಟಕಾಲಗಳು ಬಂದಾಗ, ಆ ಕಾಲಕ್ಕೆ ಬೇಕಾದ ಬೆಳಕು ನೀಡಲ್ಪಡುತ್ತದೆ.” Bible Echo, August 26, 1895.
The next plague produced darkness or light depending on which class you were in. 9/11 was a “turning point in the history of nations and of the church.” At that point God’s people were called to return and walk in the old paths, but they refused to walk therein and hearkened not to the sound of the trumpet. A separation between darkness and light was accomplished after Elijah, and Moses asked, “how long?” She further states in the passage:
Ti belbu hungu ya kulenga bwiteke anyi bukenu bilondela mutindu ya nkanda yoyo uvwadi muyo. 9/11 ivwiji “ntambi ya kupidija mu disangisha dia matunga ne dia ekelesia.” Mu ntangu awu, bantu ba Nzambi bavwa babikidiibwa bua kwalukila ne kutambula mu nzila ya kale, kadi bakana kutambula muyo, ne kabavwa bateleja dîyi dia mpungi to. Dibangidangana hagati ka bwiteke ne bukenu diakumbanyina panyima pa Elia, ne Mose wakonkona ne, “too ne dî?” Yêye udi kabidi wamba mu tshitupa tshôshi ne:
“There are periods which are turning points in the history of nations and of the church. In the providence of God, when these different crises arrive, the light for that time is given. If it is received, there is spiritual progress; if it is rejected, spiritual declension and shipwreck follow.” Bible Echo, August 26, 1895.
“Kuliho na vipindi ambavyo ni sehemu za mageuko katika historia ya mataifa na ya kanisa. Katika majaliwa ya Mungu, migogoro hii mbalimbali inapowadia, nuru kwa wakati huo hutolewa. Ikiwa inapokelewa, kunakuwa na maendeleo ya kiroho; ikiwa inakataliwa, basi hufuata kushuka kwa hali ya kiroho na kuvunjika kwa jahazi.” Bible Echo, August 26, 1895.
We will continue the subject of “how long” in the next article.

“In May, 1842, a General Conference was convened in Boston, Massachutes. At the opening of this meeting, Brethren Charles Fitch and Apollos Hale, of Haverhill, presented the pictorial prophecies of Daniel and John, which they had painted on cloth, with the prophetic numbers, showing their fulfillment. Brother Fitch in explaining from his chart before the Conference, said, while examining these prophecies, he had thought if he could get out something of the kind as here presented it would simplify the subject and make it easier for him to present to an audience. Here was more light in our pathway. These brethren had been doing what the Lord had shown Habakkuk in his vision 2,468 years before, saying, ‘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.’ Habakkuk 2:2.
“May mwezi wa mwaka 1842, Mkutano Mkuu uliitishwa katika Boston, Massachusetts. Katika ufunguzi wa mkutano huu, Ndugu Charles Fitch na Apollos Hale, wa Haverhill, waliwasilisha unabii wa mfano wa Danieli na Yohana, ambao walikuwa wameuchora juu ya kitambaa, pamoja na hesabu za kiunabii, wakionyesha kutimizwa kwake. Ndugu Fitch, alipokuwa akieleza kutoka kwenye chati yake mbele ya Mkutano, alisema kwamba, alipokuwa akichunguza unabii huu, alikuwa amefikiri ya kwamba kama angeweza kutoa kitu cha namna hii kama kilivyowasilishwa hapa, kingerahisisha somo hilo na kumwezesha kulieleza kwa hadhira kwa urahisi zaidi. Hapa palikuwa na nuru zaidi katika njia yetu. Ndugu hawa walikuwa wakifanya kile ambacho Bwana alikuwa amemwonyesha Habakuki katika maono yake miaka 2,468 kabla, akisema, ‘Iandike njozi hiyo, ukaifanye iwe wazi juu ya mbao, ili aisomaye apate kupiga mbio. Kwa maana njozi hii bado ni kwa wakati ulioamriwa.’ Habakuki 2:2.”
“After some discussion on the subject, it was voted unanimously to have three hundred similar to this one lithographed, which was soon accomplished. They were called ‘the ‘43 charts.’ This was a very important Conference.” The Autobiography of Joseph Bates, 263.
“Kenge mutwe uwu wakakaniwapo panandi, bakatema na mutima umo ukuti bapaatile amafano ya bulembi pa mabwe amakana yatatu ayafwana nga yano, ico nacikafikilishiwe bwangu. Yaliitibwa ukuti, ‘amachati ya ’43.’ Uyu wali Mulongano wa bucindami sana.” The Autobiography of Joseph Bates, 263.
“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.” Early Writings, 74.
“Ndimona kuti tchati la 1843 linalangizidwa ndi dzanja la Ambuye, ndipo silinayenera kusinthidwa; kuti manambalawo anali monga momwe Iye anafunira; kuti dzanja Lake linali pamwamba pake ndipo linabisa cholakwa m’manambala ena, kotero kuti panalibe amene akanatha kuchiona, kufikira dzanja Lake litachotsedwa.” Early Writings, 74.
“It was the united testimony of Second Advent lecturers and papers, when standing on ‘the original faith,’ that the publication of the chart was a fulfillment of Habakkuk 2:2, 3. If the chart was a subject of prophecy (and those who deny it leave the original faith), then it follows that BC 457 was the year from which to date the 2300 days. It was necessary that 1843 should be the first published time in order that ‘the vision’ should ‘tarry,’ or that there should be a tarrying time, in which the virgin band was to slumber and sleep on the great subject of time, just before they were to be aroused by the Midnight Cry.” Second Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, Volume I, Number 2, James White.
“दोस्रो आगमनका व्याख्याताहरू र पत्रपत्रिकाहरूले, जब तिनीहरू ‘मूल विश्वास’मा अडिग उभिएका थिए, एकमत साक्षी दिएका थिए कि उक्त चार्टको प्रकाशन हबकूक 2:2, 3 को पूर्त्ति थियो। यदि त्यो चार्ट भविष्यवाणीको विषय थियो (र जसले यसलाई इन्कार गर्छन्, तिनीहरू मूल विश्वासलाई त्याग्छन्), तब यसबाट यो निष्कर्ष निस्कन्छ कि 2300 दिनहरूको मिति गणना आरम्भ गर्नुपर्ने वर्ष ई.पू. 457 नै थियो। ‘दर्शन’ले ‘ढिलाइ’ गरोस्, अथवा त्यहाँ एक ढिलाइको समय होस्, जसको अवधिमा कुमारीहरूको समूहले समयको यस महान् विषयमा अल्मलिँदै निदाओस् र सुतोस्, ठीक त्यसअघि कि तिनीहरूलाई मध्यरातको पुकारले ब्युँझाउने थियो—यसका लागि 1843 पहिलो प्रकाशित समय हुनु आवश्यक थियो।” Second Advent Review and Sabbath Herald, Volume I, Number 2, James White.
