The book of Joel is perhaps the most direct revelation of the latter rain in the Scriptures, and Joel opens up by first referencing the four generations of apostasy accomplished by the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church. Those four generations of escalating destruction represented in Joel’s opening verses align with the four escalating abominations of Ezekiel chapter eight. 1863 unto 1888 represents the first generation, and it represents the rejection of the foundational message of the Millerites as represented upon the 1843 and 1850 pioneer charts, represented in Habakkuk chapter two, and that symbolize the covenant as represented by the two tables of the Ten Commandments.
Ekitabo kya Yoweeri kiyinzika okuba nga kye kisinga okulaga mu ngeri ey’obutereevu enkuba ey’oluvannyuma mu Byawandiikibwa, era Yoweeri atandika ng’asooka okwogera ku mirembe ena egy’okwawukana n’obwesige eri Katonda egyatuukirizibwa ekkanisa ya Laodikiya ey’Abadiventiisi b’Olunaku olw’Omusanvu.

1888 to 1919 represent the generation that rejected the experience of righteousness by faith, that produces an experience represented by the church of Philadelphia. In the first generation the rebellion focused upon the work of leadership represented by William Miller, and in the second generation of 1888 the leadership of the Spirit of Prophecy was rebelled against. The third generation of 1919 began with William Warren Prescott’s book, The Doctrine of Christ and ended with the book, Questions on Doctrine in 1957. That third generation was the generation of compromise with the world as Adventism sought the accreditation of the medical practices of the American Medical Association, and the accreditation of their colleges by the academic scholars of apostate Protestantism and Roman Catholicism.
1888 okutuuka ku 1919 kikiikirira omulembe ogwawakanya obumanyirivu obw’obutuukirivu olw’okukkiriza, obuleeta obumanyirivu obukiikirirwa ekkanisa y’e Firaderufiya. Mu mulembe ogusooka, obujeemu bwali butunuulidde omulimu gw’obukulembeze obwakiikirirwa William Miller, era mu mulembe ogwokubiri ogwa 1888, obukulembeze bw’Omwoyo gw’Obunnabbi bwe bwawakanyizibwa. Omulembe ogwokusatu ogwa 1919 gwatandika n’ekitabo kya William Warren Prescott, The Doctrine of Christ era ne gukoma n’ekitabo, Questions on Doctrine mu 1956. Omulembe ogwo ogwokusatu gwe gwali omulembe ogw’okukolagana n’ensi, nga Adventism bwe yali enoonya okukkirizibwa kw’enkola zaayo ez’obujjanjabi okuva eri American Medical Association, era n’okukkirizibwa kwa makolero gaayo ag’amasomero aga waggulu okuva eri abakugu mu by’ebyenjigiriza ab’Obupolotesitante obwajeemera n’Abakatuliki Abaruumi.
In the third generation the educational counsel from the pen of Ellen White was rejected and replaced with the false educational practices of the world as represented by the educational philosophy of Greece. Greek education is represented by the goddess Athena who is enshrined in the duplicate Parthenon temple in Nashville, Tennessee.
Mu mulembe ogw’okusatu, amagezi ag’obulagirizi ku by’enjigiriza okuva mu kkalaamu ya Ellen White gaagaanibwa ne gasikizibwa enkola ez’obulimba ez’ensi mu by’enjigiriza, nga bwe zikiikirirwa filosofi y’enjigiriza ey’Abayonaani. Enjigiriza ey’Abayonaani ekiikirirwa katonda omukazi Atena, assa ekitiibwa mu yeekaalu ya Parthenon efaanana n’endala eri mu Nashville, Tennessee.
True education was exemplified in the Bible with the schools of the prophets associated with the prophet Elisha. The Maccabean revolt of 167 BC and onward to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, was in large part a protest against the inroads of Greek education into the culture and nation of the ancient literal glorious land. The protest of the Maccabees was a revolt against Greek influence at every level, but the educational influence of Greece was so pervasive in the history and the motivations of the Maccabean zealots that it cannot be separated from the reality that Greek education was perhaps the largest factor associated with the Jewish rejection of Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Books have been written identifying the negative influence of Greek education upon the Jews and false educations contribution to the Jewish rejection and crucifixion of Christ.
Okuyigiriza okw’amazima kwalagibwa mu Bayibuli n’amasomero ga bannabbi agaali gakwatagana ne nnabbi Erisa. Okujeemera kwa Makkabeyo mu 167 BC n’okweyongera okutuuka ku kuzikirizibwa kwa Yerusaalemi mu 70 AD, mu kitundu kinene kwali kwekalakaasa eri okuyingira okw’enjigiriza ey’Ekiyona mu nnono n’eggwanga ly’ensi ey’ekitiibwa ey’edda eyennyini. Okwakalakaasa kwa Makkabeyo kwali kujeemera obuyinza bw’Ekiyona ku buli mutendera, naye obufuzi bw’enjigiriza ya Buyona bwali bwanjiddwa nnyo mu byafaayo ne mu bigendererwa bya bannayiggirizi ba Makkabeyo, ne kiba nga tekisoboka kubwawulako ku mazima nti enjigiriza ey’Ekiyona mpozzi ye yali ensonga esingira ddala obunene eyakwatagana n’Abayudaaya okugaana Yesu Kristo ng’oyo Masiya waabwe.

The Maccabean revolt aligns with the revolt of 1776 in the modern spiritual glorious land. There are currently over 4,000 registered universities in the United States that are built upon the philosophy of Greek and Jesuit educational practices. The anarchy and lawlessness of the past ten-plus years can be directly traced to the so-called educational centers in the United States that for decades have been indoctrinating students who were already conditioned by media and entertainment sources to accept the globalist philosophies derived from the satanic philosophies of the French Revolution period. The students of today’s universities were already conditioned into accepting the lifestyle represented by Sodom and Gomorrah before they entered the educational centers designed to attack white people, Christians and true American history. A citizen of the United States today who wishes to understand the constant two-tiered system of justice that fulfills the justice and truth being cast into the streets as identified in the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy, must understand that the current circumstances are being produced by a purposeful designed attack that is indoctrinated from the earliest years of life by a educational system designed to bring mankind under the control of elitist globalists–the dragon power!

There are five major themes in the writings of Ellen White; education, health reform, Christian living, The Great Controversy theme and practical godliness. Education is one of five major themes in the Spirit of Prophecy, and Ellen White was as much a biblical prophet as every prophet noted in God’s Word. Among other things, this means her life is an example of and for the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Before anyone thinks that Christ alone is to be our example; Paul states:
Mu biwandiiko bya Ellen White mulimu emitwe emikulu etaano; ebyenjigiriza, okulongoosa eby’obulamu, obulamu obw’Ekikristaayo, ensonga y’Olutalo Olukulu, n’okutya Katonda okw’omugaso mu nkola. Ebyenjigiriza kye kimu ku mitwe emikulu etaano mu Mwoyo ogw’Obunnabbi, era Ellen White yali nnabbi wa Bayibuli ddala nga buli nnabbi yenna eyogeddwako mu Kigambo kya Katonda. Mu bintu ebirala, kino kitegeeza nti obulamu bwe kye kyokulabirako era kya abo emitwalo kikumi mu obukumi buna mu enkumi nnya mu enkumi ennya. Omuntu yenna nga tannalowooza nti Kristo yekka ye alina okuba ekyokulabirako kyaffe; Pawulo agamba nti:
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 1 Corinthians 4:15, 16.
Kubanga newakubadde nga mulina abayigiriza akakumi mu Kristo, naye temulina bakitammwe bangi: kubanga mu Kristo Yesu nze nabazaala olw’enjiri. Kyenva mbeegayirira, mubeere abagoberera bange. 1 Abakkolinso 4:15, 16.
As a prophet Ellen White is an example. There was only one time that Ellen White accepted the role as a board member, and that time was with the formation of a college that embraced the principles of true education as set forth as one of the five major themes of her ministry. That college in Madison, Tennessee is located within the metropolitan district of Nashville, Tennessee. Not only did she agree to be on the founding board of Madison college from 1904 until a year before her death in 1915, she was instrumental in selecting the land where the college was established. Nashville is the center of the Greek educational system that helped to prevent the Jews from accepting their Messiah in the history of the Maccabees, who typify the apostate Protestantism of the times in which we now live. The line of the Maccabees is firmly set forth in the hidden history of verse forty, representing the apostate Protestantism that has now been fully indoctrinated with the very same, (though a modern version) destructive fruits of Greek education.
Nga nnabbi, Ellen White wa kyokulabirako. Waliwo omulundi gumu gwokka Ellen White lwe yakkiriza okutwala obuvunaanyizibwa ng’omukulembeze ku lukiiko, era omulundi ogwo gwali mu kutandikibwawo kw’essomero ekkulu eryakkiriza emisingi gy’enjigiriza ey’amazima, nga bwe gyateekebwawo ng’omu ku nsonga enkulu etaano ez’obuweereza bwe. Essomero eryo ekkulu ery’e Madison, Tennessee, liri mu kitundu ekikulu ekya kibuga Nashville, Tennessee. Si bwe yakkiriza kwokka okubeera ku lukiiko olwasooka olwa Madison College okuva mu 1904 okutuuka omwaka gumu nga tannafa mu 1915, naye era yakola nnyo mu kulonda ettaka essomero eryo kwe lyazimbibwa. Nashville kye kifo ekikulu eky’enkola y’ebyenjigiriza ey’Abayonaani eyayamba okulemesa Abayudaaya okukkiriza Masiya waabwe mu byafaayo by’Abamakabi, abo abakiikirira Obupolotesitante obwava ku mazima obw’ebiseera bye tulimu kaakano. Olunyiriri lw’Abamakabi luteekebwa bulungi nnyo mu byafaayo ebyekusifu eby’olunyiriri olw’amakumi ana, nga lukiikirira Obupolotesitante obwava ku mazima obufundikiddwa kaakano ddala n’ennyigiriza y’emu ddala, wadde nga ya mulembe guno, ebibala ebizikiriza eby’enjigiriza ey’Abayonaani.
In the third generation of Adventism, the leadership that had rejected the Spirit of Prophecy in 1888, chose to turn their educational system over to the accreditation structure of the world. Nashville represents the symbolic center of both true and false education. The prophet selected the same city that the world selected to enshrine Greek education, for unlike Greek education that is based upon separating truth into isolated subjects to destroy the whole. True education is the foundational basis of Sister White’s other four primary themes of health reform, practical godliness, Christian living, and especially the theme of The Great Controversy.
Mu mulembe ogw’okusatu ogw’Abadiventi, obukulembeze obwali bwagaanidde Omwoyo gw’Obunnabbi mu 1888, bwalonda okuteeka enkola yaabwe ey’enjigiriza mu buyinza bw’enteekateeka y’ensi ey’okukkiriza n’okuwandiisa ebifo eby’enjigiriza. Nashville ekiikirira ekifo ekikulu eky’obubonero eky’enjigiriza yombi, entuufu n’ey’obulimba. Nnabbi yalonda ekibuga kye kimu ensi kye yalonda okufuula entebe y’enjigiriza ey’Abayonaani; kubanga enjigiriza ey’Abayonaani, ezeesigamiziddwa ku kwawula amazima mu masomo agawufu agatalina nkolagana, esobola okuzikiriza obujjuvu bwonna. Enjigiriza entuufu ye musingi omukulu ogwesigamizibwako emitwe emirala ena emikulu gya Sister White: okulongoosa eby’obulamu, okutya Katonda mu nkola ey’omugaso, obulamu obw’Ekikristaayo, era naddala omutwe gwa Olutalo Olukulu.
Jesus always illustrates the end with the beginning, and the test in the Garden of Eden illustrates the test the world is now being confronted with. The test at the end is the same as every biblical test, for God never changes. A biblical test is a three-step testing process that produces two classes that are manifested at the end of the testing process. The first angel expresses the three steps as fearing God, giving Him glory, for the hour of the litmus test of judgment is come. The first step was the command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Lacking the necessary fear of God, Eve failed the test of the tree and ate the fruit represented as both good and evil. Adam’s fear of God did not prevent him from entering into the rebellion of the tree, and judgment was brought upon them both, as they manifested a life without the abiding presence of Divinity.
Yesu bulijjo alaga enkomerero ng’agigeraageranya n’entandikwa, era ekigezo ekyali mu Lusuku lwa Adeni kiraga ekigezo ensi ky’eriko kati okusisinkana. Ekigezo eky’enkomerero kye kimu n’ebigezo byonna eby’omu Bayibuli, kubanga Katonda takyuka. Ekigezo eky’omu Bayibuli nkola ya kugezesa ya mitendera esatu ereeta ebibiina bibiri ebirabisibwa ku nkomerero y’enkola eyo ey’okugezesa. Malayika ow’olubereberye ayogera ku mitendera egyo esatu ng’agamba nti mutye Katonda, mumuwe ekitiibwa, kubanga ekiseera eky’ekigezo kya musengejja eky’omusango kituuse. Omutendera ogw’olubereberye gwali kiragiro eky’okutalya ku muti ogw’okumanya obulungi n’obubi. Kubanga teyali na kutya Katonda okwetaagisa, Kaawa yaleemererwa ekigezo eky’omuti n’alya ku bibala ebyakiikirira obulungi n’obubi byombi. Okutya Katonda kwa Adamu tekwamulemesa kuyingira mu bujeemu bw’omuti, era omusango ne gubaletebwa bombi, bwe baalabikisa obulamu obutaliimu kubeerawo kwa Bwakatonda okusigala nga kuliwo.
The test of the last days begins with a warning to eat the increase of knowledge that is unsealed in the revelation of Jesus Christ just before mankind’s probation comes to its end. Whether with Adventism or those outside of Adventism, the test is based upon the reception of, or the rejection of the increase of “knowledge” that is unsealed in our time. That test of knowledge is represented by the Garden’s tree of testing, that represents knowledge of either good or evil. True education was located and symbolized in Nashville, Tennessee in 1904, and false education was located and symbolized in Nashville in 1897, then re-built as a permanent structure in 1920. In the life of the prophetess true education was enshrined in Nashville, and false education was also enshrined. After her death in 1915 false education was restored in the second and permanent construction of the Parthenon temple, and true education was rejected through compromise with the world by the leadership of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church.

Nashville’s nickname, the “Athens of the South”, influenced the choice of the building as the centerpiece of the 1897 Centennial Exposition. A number of buildings at the exposition were based on ancient originals. However, the Parthenon was the only one that was an exact reproduction. Today’s Nashville, Tennessee, is famous for its music, but before there was the Johnny Cash Museum, Nashville was famous for its education, not singing.
Erinnya ery’akawummula ka Nashville, “Athens ey’Ebugwanjuba”, lyayamba okukola ku kulonda ekizimbe ekyo okuba ekisinga obukulu mu Centennial Exposition ey’omwaka 1897. Ebiwandiiko eby’enjawulo mu mwoleso ogwo byali byesigamiziddwa ku by’edda ebyasooka. Naye Parthenon yo yokka ye yali ekifaananyi ekiddamu ddala nga bwe kyali. Leero Nashville, Tennessee, emanyiddwa nnyo olw’omuziki gwayo, naye nga tannabaawo Johnny Cash Museum, Nashville yali emanyiddwa olw’ebyenjigiriza byayo, so si kuyimba.
By the 1850s, Nashville had already earned the nickname of the “Athens of the South” by having established numerous higher education institutions; it was the first American southern city to establish a public school system. By the end of the century, Nashville would see Fisk University, St. Cecilia Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy, Meharry Medical College, Belmont University, and Vanderbilt University all open their doors. At the time, Nashville was known to be one of the most refined and educated cities of the south, filled with wealth and culture.
Mu myaka gya 1850, Nashville yali emaze dda okufuna erinnya ery’okuyitibwa “Athens of the South” olw’okuba yali etaddewo dda ebitongole bingi eby’okusoma eby’omu mutendera ogwa waggulu; era ye yali ekibuga ekyasooka mu bukiika obwa ddyo bwa Amerika okutandikawo enkola y’amasomero ga gavumenti. Emyaka egyo bwe gyali gigenda giwawaabira ku nkomerero y’ekyasa, Nashville yali egenda kulaba Fisk University, St. Cecilia Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy, Meharry Medical College, Belmont University, ne Vanderbilt University nga byonna bibuulira abantu enzigi zaabyo. Mu biro ebyo, Nashville yali emanyiddwa ng’ekimu ku bibuga eby’omu bukiika obwa ddyo ebyali bisinga obulongoofu n’obuyigirize, nga kijjudde obugagga n’obuwangwa.
The mystery of iniquity is both a noun and a verb in the inspired Word. Inspiration identifies Satan, and the pope, who Sister White calls Satan’s “right hand man,” as the mystery of iniquity. Yet the “mystery of iniquity” also describes the amalgamation of truth and error. Joel’s four generations of apostasy aligns with Ezekiel chapter eight’s four escalating abominations. Those two witnesses align with the first four churches of Revelation, and the third church is represented by Constantine’s compromise of Christianity combined with paganism. Those first four churches align with the history of ancient Israel, that symbolizes modern Israel’s history.
Ekyama eky’obutali butuukirivu kye kigambo era era kye kikolwa mu Kigambo ekyaluŋŋamizibwa. Obuluŋŋamizibwa bulaga Sitaani, ne paapa, mwannyinaffe White gw’ayita “omukono ogwa ddyo” ogwa Sitaani, ng’ekyama eky’obutali butuukirivu. Naye ate “ekyama eky’obutali butuukirivu” era kinnyonnyola okutabulatabula amazima n’ensobi. Emirembe ena egy’okujeemera Katonda egya Yoweeri gikwatagana n’eby’omuzizo ebina ebiyitiririra eby’Ezekyeri essuula ey’omunaana. Abajulirwa abo bombi bakwatagana n’amakanisa ana agasooka ag’Okubikkulirwa, era ekkanisa ey’okusatu ekiikirirwa okukkiriza kwa Constantine okw’okutabula Obukristaayo n’Obupagaani. Amakanisa ago ana agasooka gakwatagana n’ebyafaayo bya Isiraeri ow’edda, ebifaananya ebyafaayo bya Isiraeri ow’omulembe guno.
In the third generation of ancient Israel, the kings of Israel formed alliances with the other nations that were never to be brought into alliance with God’s people. The parallel of ancient literal Israel and the Christian church as set forth in the book of Revelation is a prophetic subject set forth clearly in the study titled, Habakkuk’s Tables. Joel aligns the fourth and final generation who are “cut off” from being God’s chosen covenant people with the twenty-five elders who are bowing to the sun in Ezekiel’s four escalating abominations. That fourth generation where Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism is cut off as they bow to the sun at the Sunday law, aligns with the fourth church of Thyatira that symbolizes the reign of the papacy at either 538 or the soon-coming Sunday law. The third church of Pergamos represents “compromise” whether ancient Israel aligning with pagan kingdoms, or Constantine combining paganism with Christianity, and those two witnesses address the third generation of the earth beast of Revelation thirteen.

The four generations of the United States, who among other truths was typified by Egypt during the bondage of 400/430 years, that concluded with Pharaoh drowning in the waters of the Red Sea. Those waters marked the end of the nation that was to be judged when God brought about deliverance for ancient Israel through the prophet Moses. The United States is judged in the period of time that judgment concludes upon God’s church, so it is to be noted that the water that ended the life of Pharaoh was brought upon Pharaoh by the release of the east wind that had been holding the waters in place as God delivered His chosen people. The east wind is the third woe that strikes at the Sunday law when the earthquake of Revelation eleven arrives.

The generation that precedes the fourth and final generation of the earth beast is fulfilled on both the Republican and Protestant horns. The compromise of the Republican horn that was accomplished in its third generation occurred in the period surrounding the first world war, and it marked the United States turning its economic structure over to the globalists of the Federal Reserve. In that same period Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism sought to have its medical and educational work “accredited” by the standards of worldly education and medicine. As a verb the “mystery of iniquity” represents the compromise of Constantine and the kings of ancient Israel with the powers of the world. The word used by inspiration to describe the compromise is “amalgamation,” as defined in the dictionary of Ellen White’s time as; "to mix or unite in an amalgam; to blend." The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the tree of amalgamation, the tree of compromise. “The last mighty conflict,” is the Sunday law crisis, and Satan’s preparation for that crisis is “the mystery of iniquity,” that blends human wisdom with Divine revelation.

Ng’ekigambo ekiraga ekikolwa, “ekyama eky’obujeemu” kifaananya okukkiriza okwonooneka okwa Konsitantiini n’aba kabaka ba Isiraeri ow’edda ne bakkiriziganya n’amaanyi ag’ensi. Ekigambo ekyakozesebwa obuluŋŋamizibwa okunnyonnyolamu okukkiriza okwonooneka okwo ye “okutabula,” nga bwe kyategeezebwa mu dikishonaali ey’omu biro bya Ellen White nti; “okutabula oba okugatta mu kutabula; okutabula awamu.” Omuti ogw’okumanya obulungi n’obubi gwe muti ogw’okutabula, omuti ogw’okukkiriza okwonooneka. “Olutalo olusembayo olw’amaanyi amangi,” kye kizibu ky’etteeka lya Ssande, era okuteekateeka kwa Setaani eri ekizibu ekyo kwe “kyama eky’obujeemu,” ekitabula amagezi g’abantu n’okubikkulirwa okw’Obwakatonda.
“Satan is busily laying his plans for the last mighty conflict, when all will take sides....
“Sitaani ali mu kutandikawo n’obunyiikivu enteekateeka ze ez’olutalo olusembayo olw’amaanyi, lwe lulituuka abantu bonna ne beeronda ku ludda lwe banaabeera....”
“Listen to the voices, mark the powers, that prevail in the world. Is there any voice of prayer? Do you see any sign that God is recognized? There are priests, plenty of them; but they are trampling under their feet the law of Jehovah. Their garments are stained with the blood of souls. Multitudes are sacrificing to devils. Look, you who are hesitating between obedience and disobedience. Look in imagination at the vast multitudes worshipping at Satan’s altar. Listen to the music, to the language, called higher education. But what does God declare it?—The mystery of iniquity.” Pamphlets, 004, 11.
“Muwulirize amaloboozi, mwekkaanye amaanyi, agafuga mu nsi. Waliwo eddoboozi lyonna ery’okusaba? Mulaba akabonero konna akalaga nti Katonda amanyiddwa? Waliwo bakabona, bangi nnyo; naye balinnyirira amateeka ga Yakuwa n’ebigere byabwe. Ebyambalo byabwe byonooneddwa omusaayi gw’emmeeme. Enkuyanja z’abantu ziwaayo ssaddaaka eri badayimooni. Mutunuulire, mmwe abakyali mu kuwankawanka wakati w’okugondera n’obutagondera. Mutunuulire mu kifaananyi ky’ebirowoozo enkuyanja ennene ez’abantu nga basinza ku kyoto kya Sitaani. Muwulirize omuziki, mulabe n’olulimi, ebiyitibwa okusoma okw’awaggulu. Naye Katonda akulangirira ki?—Ekyama eky’obujeemu.” Pamphlets, 004, 11.
In the last conflict when “all will take sides” the test of the Garden of Eden is repeated. The test that in the beginning was isolated to a tree in the middle of a garden, it is repeated at the end, in the entire world. Satan's work in advance of the final battle is “the mystery of iniquity,” which is defined as “higher education!” The symbol of “higher education” in the land of the earth beast is found in Nashville, Tennessee, the ‘Athens of the South,’ where the Parthenon temple is located in contrast with the true education once represented in Nashville by Madison College. The following statement from inspiration is cited in its entirety at the end of this article, but a few points should be considered at this point.
Mu lutalo olw’enkomerero, nga “bonna balikwata ku ludda,” ekigezo eky’omu Lusuku lwa Adeni kiddamu. Ekigezo ekyasooka okubeera nga kyawule ku muti ogwali wakati mu lusuku, kiddamu ku nkomerero mu nsi yonna. Omulimu gwa Sitaani ogukolebwa nga tannatuuka ku lutalo olw’enkomerero gwe “ekyama eky’obutali butuukirivu,” ekitegeezebwa nga “okusomesebwa okw’awaggulu!” Akabonero ak’“okusomesebwa okw’awaggulu” mu nsi ey’ensolo ey’oku nsi kalabikira mu Nashville, Tennessee, “Aseene ey’Ebukiikaddyo,” awali yeekaalu ya Parthenon, nga eyawukana n’okusomesebwa okw’amazima okwakiikirirwanga edda mu Nashville okuva mu Madison College. Ebigambo bino wammanga ebiva mu kubuulirwa okw’omwoyo bitwaliddwa byonna awatali kusalako ku nkomerero y’ekitundu kino, naye ensonga entono ntono zirina okulowoozebwako mu kiseera kino.
“All need wisdom carefully to search out the mystery of iniquity that figures so largely in the winding up of this earth’s history....
“Bonna beetaaga amagezi okusonda n’obwegendereza ekyama eky’obujeemu, ekikola ekitundu ekinene ennyo mu kumaliriza ebyafaayo by’ensi eno....”
“There is no middle path to Paradise restored. The message given to man for these last days is not to become amalgamated with human devising....
“Tewali kkubo lya wakati eridda eri Olusuku lwa Katonda oluzziddwawo. Obubaka obwaweebwa omuntu olw’ennaku zino ez’oluvannyuma si bwa kugattibwaamu n’enteekateeka ez’abantu....”
“Those whom God has exalted to high positions of trust may turn from heaven’s light to human wisdom.... All who would possess a character that would make them laborers together with God and receive the commendation of God, must separate themselves from the enemies of God, and maintain the truth which Christ gave to John to give to the world.” Manuscript Releases, volume 18, 30–36.
“Abo Katonda b’ayimusizza ne baba mu bifo eby’oku ntikko eby’okwesigibwa bayinza okuva ku musana oguva mu ggulu ne bakyukira amagezi ag’abantu.... Bonna abandyagadde okuba n’empisa eyandibafuula abakolera awamu ne Katonda era ne bafuna okusiimibwa kwa Katonda, balina okwawula bokka ku balabe ba Katonda, era ne banywezezza amazima Kristo ge yawa Yokaana okuwa ensi.” Manuscript Releases, volume 18, 30–36.
The “all” who need “wisdom” represents all who are brought into a testing process that ultimately produces two classes of worshippers. The “wise” are those who secure the needed “wisdom.” The testing process begins when the revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed, just before the close of human probation. That unsealing begins an “increase of knowledge.” Those who are confronted with the test associated with the revelation of Jesus Christ will secure the “oil” of prophetic knowledge designed to guide, prepare and sanctify in advance of the arrival of the east wind at the Sunday law. The “tree of knowledge of good and evil” is the symbol of the counterfeit Bread of Heaven that is to be eaten or rejected.
“Bonna” abeetaaga “amagezi” bukiikirira bonna abayingizibwa mu nkola ey’okugezesebwa egenda okuleeta ku nkomerero ebika bibiri eby’abasinza. “Abamagezi” beebo abafuna “amagezi” ageetaagisa. Enkola ey’okugezesebwa etandika ng’okubikkulirwa kwa Yesu Kristo kusumululwa envumbo, katono nnyo nga ekiseera ky’okugezesebwa kw’abantu tekinnaggwaako. Okusumululwa okwo kutandika “okweyongera kw’okumanya.” Abo abasisinkana n’okugezebwa okukwatagana n’okubikkulirwa kwa Yesu Kristo banaafuna “amafuta” ag’okumanya okw’obunnabbi agategekeddwa okulungamya, okuteekateeka n’okutukuza nga bukyali nga embuyaga ey’ebuvanjuba tennatuuka ku Sunday law. “Omuti ogw’okumanya obulungi n’obubi” kye kabonero k’Omugaati ogw’Eggulu ogw’obulimba ogulina okulibwa oba okugaanibwa.
In Galilee, at the synagogue of Capernaum Jesus lost more followers at one incident than any other time in His ministry. There the test was whether the prophetic words of Christ were literal or spiritual, and those who failed the test, failed—for they forgot that man is to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Christ had stated clearly that He was the Bread sent down from heaven and those who failed the test had blended Truth with human wisdom, represented by the Greeks.
Mu Ggaliraaya, mu kkuŋŋaaniro ery’e Kaperunawumu, Yesu yafirwa abagoberezi bangi mu mbeera emu okusinga mu kiseera kyonna eky’obuweereza bwe. Awo ekigezo kyali kya kumanya oba ebigambo bya Kristo eby’obunnabbi byali bya nnamaddala oba bya mwoyo; era abo abaagwa mu kigezo ekyo baagwa—kubanga beerabira nti omuntu alina okubeera omulamu olw’ekigambo kyonna ekifuluma mu kamwa ka Katonda. Kristo yali ayogedde mu butangaavu nti Ye Mugaati ogwakka okuva mu ggulu, era abo abaagwa mu kigezo ekyo baali batabudde Amazima n’amagezi g’abantu, agaakiikirirwa Abayonaani.
Before Eve began the failure of the garden, Christ had instructed both Adam and Eve to not partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The first of the three steps of the everlasting gospel is the fear of God.
Nga Kaawa tannatanula kulemererwa okw’omu nnimiro, Kristo yali alangiridde ddala Adamu ne Kaawa obutalya ku bibala by’omuti ogw’okumanya obulungi n’obubi. Ekisooka ku mitendera esatu egy’enjiri etaggwaawo kwe kutya Katonda.
“Let the mind grasp the stupendous truths of revelation, and it will never be content to employ its powers upon frivolous themes; it will turn with disgust from the trashy literature and idle amusements that are demoralizing the youth of today. Those who have communed with the poets and sages of the Bible, and whose souls have been stirred by the glorious deeds of the heroes of faith, will come from the rich fields of thought far more pure in heart and elevated in mind than if they had been occupied in studying the most celebrated secular authors, or in contemplating and glorifying the exploits of the Pharaohs and Herods and Caesars of the world.
“Ebirowoozo bireke okukwata amazima amanene ennyo ag’obubikkulirwa, era tebiryemalira n’akatono kukozesa buyinza bwabyo ku nsonga ez’obutaliimu; birikyawa n’obukyayi ebitabo eby’obuwemu n’ebyokwesanyusa eby’obugayaavu ebivuunika empisa z’abavubuka ab’omu mirembe gino. Abo abasse ekimu n’abatontomi n’abagezigezi ab’omu Bayibuli, era emmeeme zaabwe ne zisikizibwa ebikolwa eby’ekitiibwa eby’abazira b’okukkiriza, baliva mu nnimiro ez’ennono ez’ebirowoozo nga balongoofu nnyo mu mutima era nga bagulumiziddwa mu birowoozo okusinga singa baali beemalidde mu kusoma abawandiisi ab’ensi abasinga okututumuka, oba mu kulowoozaako n’okugulumiza ebyakolebwa Falaawo ne Kerode ne Kayisaali ab’ensi eno.”
“The powers of the youth are mostly dormant, because they do not make the fear of God the beginning of wisdom. The Lord gave Daniel wisdom and knowledge, because he would not be influenced by any power that would interfere with his religious principles. The reason why we have so few men of mind, of stability and solid worth, is that they think to find greatness while disconnecting from Heaven.” Messages to Young People, 255, 256.
“Amaanyi ag’abavubuka okusinga gali mu mbeera y’okutakola, kubanga tebaggya kutya Katonda okuba entandikwa y’amagezi. Mukama yawa Danyeri amagezi n’okumanya, kubanga teyayagala kufugibwa buyinza bwonna obwandiyingiridde mu misingi gye egy’eddiini. Ensonga lwaki tulina abantu abatono nnyo ab’amagezi, ab’obunywevu era ab’omuwendo omunywevu, y’eno nti balowooza okufuna obukulu nga beeyawula ku Ggulu.” Messages to Young People, 255, 256.
Eve lost her “fear of God.” She should have trembled at the words of God, which is an attribute of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The fear of God is the first of three tests, and it begins when the prophetic Word is unsealed, ultimately producing a class of wise and a class of foolish. The beginning for those who are destined to be wise is to tremble at God’s Word. Eve did not do this, and when confronted with the second step of the testing process she was unable to give God glory, and then was confronted with the hour of judgment where she manifested the nakedness of Laodicea.
Kaawa yafuna obuzibu bw’okufiirwa “okutya Katonda.” Yalina okukankana olw’ebigambo bya Katonda, ekyo nga kye kimu ku biraga abo emitwalo kkumi mu nnya n’enkumi nnya. Okutya Katonda kwe kusooka ku bikemo bisatu, era kitandika ekigambo kya bunabbi bwe kibikkulwa, ne ku nkomerero ne kireeta ekika ky’abagezi n’ekika ky’abasirusiru. Entandikwa eri abo abategekeddwa okuba abagezi kwe kukankana eri Ekigambo kya Katonda. Kaawa teyakola bw’atyo, era bwe yayolekebwa omutendera ogwokubiri ogw’enkola y’okukemebwa teyayinza kuwa Katonda kitiibwa, oluvannyuma n’ayolekebwa essaawa ey’omusango gye yayolesereza obwereere bwa Lawodikiya.
“All who would perfect a Christian character must wear the yoke of Christ. If they would sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, they must learn of Him while on this earth. Christ pleased not Himself. The whole of His life was the development of a pure, disinterested benevolence. He assumed human nature to demonstrate to the fallen world, to Satan and his synagogue, to the universe of heaven, to the worlds unfallen, that human nature, united with His divine nature, could become entirely obedient to the law of God. All need to enquire, ‘What must I do to be saved?’ God requires humble, contrite hearts, that tremble at His word. It is only from the divine altar that we can receive the celestial torch, which, when received, will give us a full view of our incompetence, and reveal to us the dignity and glory of Christ. When this is seen, God places us under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and it will lead us into all truth.” Bible Echo, July 20, 1896.
“Bonna abandyagadde okutukiriza empisa ey’Obukristaayo balina okwambala ekikoligo kya Kristo. Bwe baba nga baagala okutuula awamu mu bifo eby’omu ggulu mu Kristo Yesu, balina okuyiga ku Ye nga bakyali ku nsi eno. Kristo teyeesanyusa yekka. Obulamu Bwe bwonna bwali kukulaakulanya kusaasira okutukuvu, okutaliimu kwefaako. Yatwala obutonde bw’omuntu alyoke alage eri ensi eyagwa, eri Setaani n’ekibiina kye, eri eggye lyonna ery’omu ggulu, eri ensi ezitagwanga, nti obutonde bw’omuntu, obwegattiddwa n’obutonde Bwe obw’obwakatonda, bwayinza okufuuka obugonderivu obujjuvu eri amateeka ga Katonda. Bonna beetaaga okwebuuza nti, ‘Nteekwa kukola ki okulokolebwa?’ Katonda ayagala emitima emwewombeefu, egyenenya, egikankana olw’ekigambo Kye. Ku kyoto eky’obwakatonda kyokka kwe tusobolera okuweebwa ekitangaala eky’omu ggulu, ekina, bwe tunaakiweebwa, okutuweerera ddala obutayinza bwaffe, era ne kitubikkulira ekitiibwa n’ekitiibwa kya Kristo. Kino bwe kirabibwa, Katonda atuteeka wansi w’obulagirizi bw’Omwoyo Omutukuvu, era anaatukulembera mu mazima gonna.” Bible Echo, July 20, 1896.
The amalgamation of truth and error is the work of Satan which is identified as the mystery of iniquity. The compromise of all mankind in the final movements of the investigative judgment is enshrined in the Parthenon temple in Nashville, Tennessee.
Okutabula amazima n’obulimba mulimu gwa Sitaani ogutegeereddwa ng’ekyama eky’obutali butuukirivu. Okweyambisa okw’abantu bonna mu ntambula ezisembayo ez’omusango ogunoonyereza ku nsonga enshrined mu yeekaalu ya Parthenon e Nashville, Tennessee.
“It is not wise to send our youth to universities where they devote their time to gaining a knowledge of Greek and Latin, while their heads and hearts are being filled with the sentiments of the infidel authors whom they study in order to master these languages. They gain a knowledge that is not at all necessary, or in harmony with the lessons of the great Teacher. Generally those educated in this way have much self-esteem. They think they have reached the height of higher education, and carry themselves proudly, as though they were no longer learners. They are spoiled for the service of God. The time, means, and study that many have expended in gaining a comparatively useless education should have been used in gaining an education that would make them all-round men and women, fitted for practical life. Such an education would be of the highest value to them.
“Si kya magezi okutuma abavubuka baffe mu yunivasite gye bamalira ebiseera byabwe nga bafuna okumanya Oluyonaani n’Olulatini, ate ng’emitwe gyabwe n’emitima gyabwe bijjuzibwa endowooza z’abawandiisi abatakkiriza Katonda be basoma basobole okufuga ennimi ezo. Bafuna okumanya okutali kwa bwetaavu n’akatono, so nga tekukwatagana na bye bayigirizibwa Omuyigiriza Omukulu. Okusingira ddala abo abayigirizibwa bwe batyo baba n’okwekuza kungi. Balowooza nti batuuse ku ntikko y’ebyenjigiriza eby’awaggulu, ne beetwala n’amalala, nga bwe batakyali bayizi. Bafuuka aboonoonebwa olw’obuweereza bwa Katonda. Obudde, eby’obugagga, n’okusoma bangi bye baakozesa mu kufuna eby’enjigiriza ebitaliiko mugaso mungi byandibadde bikozesebwa mu kufuna eby’enjigiriza ebyandibafudde abasajja n’abakazi abajjvu mu buli ngeri, abasaana obulamu obw’omugaso obw’emikono. Eby’enjigiriza ebyo byandibadde bya muwendo nnyo gyebali.”
“What do students carry with them when they leave our schools? Where are they going? What are they going to do? Have they the knowledge that will enable them to teach others? Have they been educated to be wise fathers and mothers? Can they stand at the head of a family as wise instructors? In their home life can they so instruct their children that theirs will be a family that God can behold with pleasure, because it is a symbol of the family in heaven? Have they received the only education that can truly be called ‘higher education’?
“Abayizi batwala ki bwe bava mu masomero gaffe? Bagenda wa? Bagenda kukola ki? Balina okumanya okunaabasobozesa okuyigiriza abalala? Bayigiriziddwa okuba bakadde abagezi era banyina abagezi? Basobola okuyimirira ku mutwe gw’amaka ng’abayigiriza abagezi? Mu bulamu bwabwe obw’omu maka basobola okuyigiriza bwe batyo abaana baabwe ne kiba nti ekyaabwe kiba kika ky’amaka Katonda ky’asobola okutunuulira n’essanyu, kubanga kabonero k’amaka ag’omu ggulu? Bafunye okuyigizibwa kwokka okuyinza ddala okuyitibwa ‘okuyiga okw’oku ntikko’?”
“What is higher education? No education can be called higher education unless it bears the similitude of heaven, unless it leads young men and young women to be Christlike, and fits them to stand at the head of their families in the place of God. If, during his school life, a young man has failed to gain a knowledge of Greek and Latin and the sentiments contained in the works of infidel authors, he has not sustained much loss. If Jesus Christ had deemed this kind of education essential, would he not have given it to his disciples, whom he was educating to do the greatest work ever committed to mortals, to represent him in the world? But, instead, he placed sacred truth in their hands, to be given to the world in its simplicity.
“Okuyiga okw’awaggulu kye ki? Tewali kuyiga kuyinza kuyitibwa okuyiga okw’awaggulu okuggyako nga kulina ekifaananyi eky’omu ggulu, okuggyako nga kukulembera abavubuka n’abawala okuba nga Kristo, era ne kubateekateeka okuyimirira ku mitwe gy’ennyumba zaabwe mu kifo kya Katonda. Singa, mu biseera bye eby’okusoma ku ssomero, omuvubuka yaleemererwa okufuna okumanya Oluyonaani n’Olulatini n’ebirowoozo ebiri mu biwandiiko by’abawandiisi abatakkiriza, tayinza kuba nga yafuna kufiirwa kungi. Singa Yesu Kristo yali alowoozezza nti engeri eno ey’okuyiga ya mugaso nnyo, teyandigizizza bayigirizwa be, be yali ayigiriza okukola omulimu ogusinga obunene ogwateekebwako abantu abafa, okumukiikirira mu nsi? Naye, mu kifo ky’ekyo, yateeka amazima amatukuvu mu mikono gyabwe, gaweebwe ensi mu bwangu bwago obutaliiko bukuusa.”
“There are times when Greek and Latin scholars are needed. Some must study these languages. This is well. But not all, and not many, should study them. Those who think that a knowledge of Greek and Latin is essential to a higher education, cannot see afar off. Neither is a knowledge of the mysteries of that which the men of the world call science necessary for entrance into the kingdom of God. It is Satan who fills the mind with sophistry and tradition, which exclude the true higher education, and which will perish with the learner.
“Waliwo ebiseera lwe kyetaagisa abakugu mu Luyonaani n’Olulattini. Abamu balina okusoma ennimi ezo. Kino kirungi. Naye si bonna, era si bangi, abalina okuzisoma. Abo abalowooza nti okumanya Oluyonaani n’Olulattini kyetaagisa nnyo okusobola okufuna obuyigirize obw’oku ntikko, tebasobola kulengera wala. Era si kyetaagisa kumanya ebyama by’ebyo abantu b’ensi bye bayita ssaayansi okufuna okuyingira mu bwakabaka bwa Katonda. Setaani y’oyo ajjuza ebirowoozo obulimba obw’amagezi n’ennono, ebigoba obuyigirize obw’amazima obw’oku ntikko, era ebirizikirira wamu n’oyo abiyiga.
“Those who have received a false education do not look heavenward. They cannot see the One who is the true Light, ‘which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.’ They look upon eternal realities as phantoms, calling an atom a world, and a world an atom. Of many who have received the so-called higher education, God declares, ‘Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting,’—wanting in a knowledge of practical business, wanting in a knowledge of how to make the best use of time, wanting in a knowledge of how to labor for Jesus.” Review and Herald, August 17, 1897.
“Abafunye okuyigirizibwa okw’obulimba tebatunuulira eri eggulu. Tebasobola kulaba Oyo ali Omusana ogw’amazima, ‘ogwakiza buli muntu ajja mu nsi.’ Batunuulira ebiri eby’emirembe n’emirembe ng’ebitole ebitaliimu, nga bayita akatono ensi, n’ensi ne bagiyita akatono. Ku bangi ku abo abafunye kye bayita okuyigirizibwa okw’oku ntikko, Katonda agamba nti, ‘Opimidde ku minzaani, era osangiddwa ng’obulako,’—obulako okumanya eby’emirimu ebikolebwa mu bulamu obwabulijjo, obulako okumanya engeri y’okukozesa obulungi obudde, obulako okumanya engeri y’okukolera Yesu.” Review and Herald, August 17, 1897.
The warning of the fireballs of Nashville is not an arbitrary city, it is a direct judgment brought upon Seventh-day Adventists, the United States and the world. The fireballs of Nashville represent different attributes for the various categories of Adventism, the earth beast and the world. The fireballs of Nashville are God’s judgment upon false education, symbolized by the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

“By a variety of images the Lord Jesus represented to John the wicked character and seductive influence of those who have been distinguished for their persecution of God’s people. All need wisdom carefully to search out the mystery of iniquity that figures so largely in the winding up of this earth’s history. God’s presentation of the detestable works of the inhabitants of the ruling powers of the world who bind themselves into secret societies and confederacies, not honoring the law of God, should enable the people who have the light of truth to keep clear of all these evils. More and more will all false religionists of the world manifest their evil doings; for there are but two parties, those who keep the commandments of God and those who war against God’s holy law....
“Mu bifaananyi eby’enjawulo Mukama waffe Yesu yalaga Yokaana empisa embi n’obuyinza obusendasenda obw’abo abaamanyibwa olw’okuyigganya kwabwe abantu ba Katonda. Bonna beetaaga amagezi okunoonya n’obwegendereza ekyama eky’obujeemu ekirabika ennyo mu kumaliriza ebyafaayo by’ensi eno. Katonda bw’ayanjulanga emirimu egy’emizizo egy’abatuuze b’amaanyi agafuga ensi, abeesiba mu bibiina eby’ekyama ne mu nkolagana ez’obwegassi, nga tebassa kitiibwa mu mateeka ga Katonda, kino kirina okusobozesa abantu abalina omusana gw’amazima okwewala obubi buno bwonna. Okweyongera n’okweyongera, bonna ab’eddiini ez’obulimba mu nsi balyolesa ebikolwa byabwe ebibi; kubanga waliwo enjuyi bbiri zokka, abo abakwata ebiragiro bya Katonda n’abo abalwana n’amateeka ga Katonda amatukuvu....”
“The enmity between the seed of the woman and the serpent is clearly defined by the Lord. ‘And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.’ ‘And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat of the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.’
“Obulabe obuli wakati w’ezzadde ly’omukazi n’omusota Mukama yabunnyonnyola bulungi ddala. ‘Era nditeeka obulabe wakati wo n’omukazi, era ne wakati w’ezzadde lyo n’ezzadde lye; yo alikubetenta omutwe, naawe olimukubetenta ekisinziiro.’ ‘N’agamba Adamu nti, Kubanga owulidde eddoboozi lya mukazi wo, n’olya ku muti gwe nakulagira nga njogera nti, Tolya ku gwo: ettaka likolimiddwa ku lulwo; mu nnaku mw’onooliryanga ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwo; era lirikuzaaliranga amaggwa n’amatovu; naawe onoolyanga omuddo ogw’omu nnimiro; mu ntuuyo ey’omu maaso go mw’onoolyanga emmere, okutuusa lw’oliddayo mu ttaka; kubanga omwo mwe waggibwa: kubanga oli nfuufu, era mu nfuufu mw’oliddayo.’”
“By following his own way, by acting in harmony with Satan’s temptations and in opposition to the known will of God, man vainly attempted to elevate and bless himself. Thus he gained an experimental knowledge of disobedience to God’s commandments. Thus he knew good and evil; thus he lost his fidelity and loyalty to God and opened the floodgates of evil and suffering to the whole human family. How many today are making the same experiment! When will man learn that the only means for his safety is through a full confidence in a ‘thus saith the Lord’?
“Olw’okugoberera ekkubo lye ye, olw’okukola ng’akwatagana n’ebikemo bya Setaani era ng’awakanya Katonda by’amanyi nti by’ayagala, omuntu mu bwereere yagezaako okwegulumiza n’okweragira omukisa. Bw’atyo yafuna okumanya okwava mu bumanyirivu okw’obutagondera mateeka ga Katonda. Bw’atyo n’amanya obulungi n’obubi; bw’atyo n’afiirwa obwesigwa bwe n’obuvunaanyizibwa bwe eri Katonda era n’aggulawo enzizi z’obubi n’okubonyaabonyezebwa eri amaka g’abantu gonna. Bameka leero abakola okugezesebwa kwe kumu! Ddi omuntu lw’alitegeera nti ekkubo lyokka ery’obukuumi bwe liri mu kwesiga okujjuvu eri ‘bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama’?”
“Satan is seeking to intrude his own inventions upon the children of God through human methods. He is seeking to be received as God, or even to be placed above God.
“Setaani ayagala okuyingiza ebintu bye ye yeekoleredde mu baana ba Katonda ng’ayita mu nkola ez’obuntu. Ayagala okukkirizibwa nga Katonda, oba n’okuteekebwa waggulu wa Katonda.
“In changing the Sabbath to the first day of the week, he leads men to disbelieve God’s declarations, and so to regard their own ways and plans that they appear exceeding wise in their own eyes and in their perverted judgment. Through human policy he leads men to regard the expressed commandments of God as of less force than human tradition, and to regard a deviation from that law which is always holy and just and good, as of little account. He sees that by thus preventing human agencies from walking as obedient children in harmony with God, he can hinder the accomplishment of God’s work in our world.
“Mu kukyusa Ssabbiiti n’agifuula olunaku olw’olubereberye olw’omweeka, akulembera abantu obutakkiriza ebyo Katonda by’ayogera, era bwe kityo n’abaleetera okutwala amakubo gaabwe bo n’enteekateeka zaabwe ng’ebyo ebibalabikira okuba eby’amagezi amangi ennyo mu maaso gaabwe bo era ne mu kusalawo kwabwe okwakyamye. Olw’amagezi ag’abantu aleetera abantu okutwala ebiragiro bya Katonda ebyalangirirwa ng’ebitalina maanyi mangi ng’ennono z’abantu, era n’okutwala okukyama okuva ku mateeka ago agabeera bulijjo matukuvu era matuukirivu era malungi, ng’ekintu ekitono obukulu. Alaba nti bw’atyo ng’aziyiza abakozi b’abantu okutambula ng’abaana abagondera mu kukwatagana ne Katonda, ayinza okulemesa okutukirizibwa kw’omulimu gwa Katonda mu nsi yaffe.”
“But Satan’s connivings with human agencies who stand in responsible positions are just as much to be feared and shunned now after the experiment of sin has been tried, as it was in the case of our first parents. I am instructed to say that the men who are placed in positions of responsibility in the work of God have overestimated their right to control others. The position a man occupies does not change his character. Some have seemed to feel that they must devise for churches and for sanitariums and that there was to be no questioning of their judgment. Let them learn of Jesus at every step. He should be the chief authority for every man.
“Naye enkwe za Setaani z’akola ng’akozesa ebitongole eby’obuntu ebiri mu bifo eby’obuvunaanyizibwa zisaana okutya era zeewalibwe nnyo ne kaakano ng’oluvannyuma lw’okugezesa kw’ekibi kumaze okukolebwa, nga bwe kyali mu nsonga y’abazadde baffe abaasooka. Ndiragiddwa okwogera nti abasajja abateekeddwa mu bifo eby’obuvunaanyizibwa mu mulimu gwa Katonda baayitiridde okuteekateeka ku ddembe lyabwe ery’okufuga abalala. Ekifo omuntu ky’alimu tekikyusa mpisa ze. Abamu balabise nga bawulira nti bateekwa okuteesaawo ku lw’amakkanisa ne ku lw’ebifo eby’obujjanjabi, era nti tewaali kubangawo kubuuza ku nsala yaabwe. Bakkirize okuyiga eri Yesu ku buli mutendera. Ye ye alina okuba obuyinza obukulu eri buli muntu.”
“The One who has often been our Instructor says, ‘How hard it is for man to walk humbly with his God, in a contrite spirit taking God’s way and rejecting Satan’s propositions which seem to present great worldly advantages.’ The influence of man’s having his own way in the place of firmly standing on the solid foundation that God alone has laid, has been repeated over and over again. Refusing to walk in the straight paths that God has signified will bring them to confusion and will not teach wisdom to others who have the same test and trial. When will man learn that God is God, and not a man that He should change?
“Oyo eyatera okuba Omuyigiriza waffe agamba nti, ‘Nga kizibu eri omuntu okutambulira mu bwetoowaze ne Katonda we, ng’alina omwoyo ogumenyese, ng’akwata ekkubo lya Katonda era ng’agaana ebyo Setaani by’amuwa ng’ebiteeso ebirabika ng’ebireeta emigaso mingi egy’ensi.’ Obuyinza bw’omuntu okugoberera ekkubo lye ye mu kifo ky’okunywerera n’obunywevu ku musingi ogunywevu Katonda yekka gwe yassaawo, buddiriddwamu emirundi n’emirundi. Okugaana okutambulira mu makubo agagolokofu Katonda ge yalaga kijja kubaleetera okutabuka, era tekijja kubayigiriza magezi abalala abalina okugezesebwa n’okukemebwa kwe kumu. Omuntu aliyiga ddi nti Katonda ye Katonda, so si muntu alyoke akyuke?”
“Some who have departed from the right way have been in a continual fever to grasp responsibilities that God has not laid upon them. God calls upon every minister and every physician to maintain the simplicity of the truth. The Son of God who is revealed in both the Old and New Testaments is the Saviour of our world today. From Him every medical missionary is to receive his training. Unless he shall separate himself from the prince of the power of the air, he will mislead souls who have confidence in him. Let all beware of men who are so educated and uplifted that their plans cannot be understood by the common people.
“Abamu abaava mu kkubo ettuufu babadde mu kirwadde eky’olubeerera eky’okwegomba okukwata ku buvunaanyizibwa Katonda bw’ataabassangako. Katonda ayita buli mubuulizi ne buli musawo okukuuma obwangu bw’amazima. Omwana wa Katonda abikkuliddwa mu Ndagaano Enkadde ne mu Ndagaano Empya ye Mulokozi w’ensi yaffe leero. Okuva gy’Ali buli mmisonaali ow’eby’obulamu y’alina okufuna okutendekebwa kwe. Bw’ataayawulenga ku mukama w’obuyinza obw’empewo, anaabuza emyoyo gy’abo abamwesiga. Bonna beerinde abantu abayigiriziddwa ennyo ne bagulumizibwa ennyo okutuusa enteekateeka zaabwe lwe zitasobola kutegeerwa bantu ba bulijjo.”
“The intrigues of sin surpass infinite conception. Every calamity, every suffering and death, is an evidence not only of the power of evil but of the truth of the living God. Having known the truth, the word of the living God, which abideth forever, and which through obedience gives life, man’s weakness in conforming to Satan’s ingenuity is surpassingly strange. All who are taught of God recognize Christ as His Son. All who disbelieve the known declarations of God demonstrate the popularity of sin, and are not working on the side of life and immortality which are brought to light through perfect sanctification of the truth. Unless they make a change in character, in words, and in spirit, souls will be lost.
“Enkwe ez’ekibi zisukiridde ddala okutegeerwa okw’obutaggwaawo. Buli buzibu, buli kubonaabona n’okufa, bwe bujulizi si bwa maanyi g’obubi byokka, wabula era bwa mazima ga Katonda omulamu. Omuntu bw’amala okumanya amazima, ekigambo kya Katonda omulamu, ekibeerera emirembe gyonna, era ekireeta obulamu okuyita mu kugondera, obunafu bwe mu kukwatagana n’obukabakaba bwa Setaani busukkiridde nnyo okwewuunyisa. Bonna abayigirizibwa Katonda bakkiriza Kristo nga ye Mwana we. Bonna abatakkiriza byayogedde Katonda ebimanyiddwa balaga engeri ekibi gye kyeyagalibwamu, era tebakolera ku ludda olw’obulamu n’obutafa obuleetebwa mu musana okuyita mu kutukuzibwa okw’amazima okutuukiridde. Bwe bataakyuse mu mpisa, mu bigambo, ne mu mwoyo, emmeeme zijja kubula.”
“There is no middle path to Paradise restored. The message given to man for these last days is not to become amalgamated with human devising. We are not to lean upon the policy of worldly lawyers. We must be humble men of prayer, not acting like those who are blinded by Satan’s agencies.
“Tewali kkubo lya wakati eridda ku Lusuku lwa Katonda oluzziwoddwawo. Obubaka obuweereddwa omuntu olw’ennaku zino ez’oluvannyuma si bwa kutabula na nkola ez’amagezi g’abantu. Tetulina kwesigama ku bukodyo bwa bannamateeka ab’ensi. Tuleekwa okuba abantu abawombeefu ab’essuubi mu kusaba, so si kukola ng’abo abazibiddwa amaaso eby’obuyinza bwa Setaani.
“Many have a faith, but not a faith that works by love and purifies the soul. Saving faith is not simply a mere belief of the truth. ‘The devils also believe, and tremble.’ The inspiration of the Spirit of God gives to men a faith that is an impelling power that molds character, and leads men higher than mere formal actions. The words, the actions, and the spirit are to bear testimony to the fact that we are followers of Christ.
“Bangi balina okukkiriza, naye si kukkiriza okukolera mu kwagala era okutukuza emmeeme. Okukkiriza okulokola si kukkiriza bukkiriza amazima kwokka. ‘Ne balubaale bakkiriza, ne bakankana.’ Okuweebwa omwoyo kwa Mwoyo wa Katonda kuwa abantu okukkiriza okuba amaanyi agawaliriza agabumba empisa, era agatwala abantu waggulu okusinga ebikolwa eby’obulombolombo obwokka. Ebigambo, ebikolwa, n’omwoyo biteekwa okuwa obujulirwa ku nsonga nti tuli bagoberezi ba Kristo.
“The greatest light and blessing that God has bestowed is not a security against transgression and apostasy in these last days. Those whom God has exalted to high positions of trust may turn from heaven’s light to human wisdom. Their light will then become darkness, their God-entrusted capabilities a snare, their character an offense to God. God will not be mocked. A departure from Him has been and always will be followed by its sure results. The commission of acts that displease God will, unless decidedly repented of and forsaken, instead of seeking to justify them, lead the evildoer on step by step in deception till many sins are committed with impunity. All who would possess a character that would make them laborers together with God and receive the commendation of God, must separate themselves from the enemies of God, and maintain the truth which Christ gave to John to give to the world.” Manuscript Releases, volume 18, 30–36.
“Omusana n’omukisa ebisingayo obukulu Katonda by’awadde si kwekukuuma eri okusobya n’okwawukana ku ddiini mu nnaku zino ez’oluvannyuma. Abo Katonda b’ayimusizza mu bifo eby’oku bwesige eby’oku ntikko bayinza okukyuka okuva ku musana oguva mu ggulu ne bagoberera amagezi ag’abantu. Olwo omusana gwabwe gulifuuka kizikiza, obusobozi bwabwe Katonda bwe yabakwasa bulifuuka ekyambika, empisa yaabwe eneefuuka ekyesittaza eri Katonda. Katonda tasekererwa. Okwawukana ku Ye kwaddewo, era bulijjo kulibaddenga kulina ebivaamu ebyo eby’amazima. Okukola ebikolwa ebitaasanyusa Katonda, bwe kutajjulirwa mu ngeri ey’amaanyi era ne birekebwa, mu kifo ky’okunoonya okubyejjeereza, kulikulembera omukozi w’ebibi mpola mpola mu bulimba okutuusa ebibi bingi lwe birikolebwa awatali kubonerezebwa. Bonna abandyagadde okuba n’empisa eyandibafuula abakozi awamu ne Katonda era ne bafuna okutenderezebwa kwa Katonda, balina okwawula bokka ku balabe ba Katonda, era banywezze amazima Kristo ge yawa Yokaana okugawa ensi.” Manuscript Releases, volume 18, 30–36.
