Daniel chapter one, represents the first angel’s message, and chapter two represents the second angel’s message. In prophetic symbolism, the first message is to fear God, the second message is to give God glory and the third message identifies the hour of judgment. Before we get directly into the second chapter of Daniel, a little review is required. The second angel’s message primarily identifies the fall of Babylon.
Daniel pasal satu melambangkan pekabaran malaikat pertama, dan pasal dua melambangkan pekabaran malaikat kedua. Dalam simbolisme nubuat, pekabaran pertama ialah takut akan Allah, pekabaran kedua ialah memuliakan Allah, dan pekabaran ketiga menunjukkan saat penghakiman. Sebelum kita masuk secara langsung ke pasal kedua kitab Daniel, sedikit tinjauan kembali diperlukan. Pekabaran malaikat kedua terutama menunjukkan kejatuhan Babel.
And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Revelation 14:8.
Habaa ergaa kan biraa duukaa buʼe, akkana jedhee, “Baabilon, magaalattiin guddittiin sun kufteerti, kufteerti; isheen saboota hundumaa wayinii sagaagalummaa ishee irraa kaʼe dheekkamsa qabutti akka dhugan gooteerti.” Mulʼata 14:8.
The second angel defines the fall of Babylon as the fact that she made “all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.” Her fall is in response to her committing fornication with all nations. The fornication is brought about through her false doctrines, which are represented as “wine.” The Catholic church is made up of many false teachings, but the false doctrine that is directly associated with her fall, is the false doctrine that produces her “wrath”. That doctrine is the combination of church and state, with the church in control of the relationship. The Catholic church’s wrath, is her persecution of those she identifies as heretics. Her wrath is accomplished by her fornication with the kings of the earth. Without her connection with, and control over, the kings of the earth, she would not have the ability to persecute those she defines as heretics. Her second fall, is therefore marking the point in the future when she can once again exercise her wrath as she did in the past, that is brought about by her fornication with the kings of the earth. The kings of the earth enter into the unlawful relationship by drinking her lies. The fall of Babylon is announced for the final time in Revelation chapter eighteen.

And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. Revelation 18:1–6.
Na sesudah ni aku medali siku malaikat siti ari serega, mega kuasa raya; enggau mulia iya dunya pen nyadi terang. Lalu iya ngangau enggau nyawa ti balat, ku ngeresa, “Babel ti besai nya udah rubuh, udah rubuh, lalu nyadi endur diau antu, enggau kubu genap roh ti jai, enggau sangkar genap burung ti enda tuchi sereta ti dibenci. Laban semua bansa udah ngirup ai anggur pengeringat punggung penyai pelacur iya, lalu bala raja dunya udah berambai enggau iya, lalu bala saudagar dunya udah nyadi kaya laban pemayuh pengelantang iya.” Lalu aku ninga nyawa siti agi ari serega, ku ngeresa, “Pansut meh ari iya, eh nembiak Aku, ngambika kita enda besekutu dalam dosa iya, sereta ngambika kita enda nerima bala penusah iya. Laban dosa iya udah nyentuh ka serega, lalu Allah Taala udah ingatka penyai iya. Balas ka iya baka iya udah mbalaska kita, lalu beguna dua kali ganda ngambika iya nurut pengawa iya: dalam mangkuk ti udah dipenuh iya, penuhka ka iya dua kali ganda.” Pemandang 18:1–6.
The probationary cup of the Catholic church ended in 1798, but she is to repeat the persecution she accomplished in the Dark Ages, during the soon-coming Sunday law crisis.
Kham khatong jong ka balang Katholik ka la kut ha u snem 1798, hynrei kan sa pynrung biang ia ka jingbanbeiñ kaba ka la leh ha ki Khlur ba Dum, ha ka jingeh jong ka hukum sngi U Trai kaba nang wan kloi.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Revelation 2:20–22.
“그러나 네게 책망할 몇 가지가 있으니, 이는 네가 자칭 선지자라 하는 그 여자 이세벨을 용납하여 내 종들을 가르치고 미혹하여 음행하게 하며 우상의 제물 먹게 하기 때문이라. 또 내가 그에게 그의 음행을 회개할 기회를 주었으되 그가 회개하지 아니하였도다. 보라, 내가 그를 침상에 던질 것이요, 또 그와 더불어 간음하는 자들도 그들의 행위를 회개하지 아니하면 큰 환난 가운데 던질 것이라.” 요한계시록 2:20–22
She was given twelve hundred and sixty years to repent and she refused. The three and a half years of drought that led to Mount Carmel, was given to Jezebel to repent, but she also refused. At the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, the first of the kings of the earth that commit fornication with her in the last days is the United States, the earth beast of Revelation thirteen. It then has filled the cup of its probationary time.
O newengwe dipalo tše makgolo a lesome-pedi le masome a tshela go sokologa, eupša a gana. Mengwaga e meraro le seripa ya komelelo yeo e ilego ya lebiša Thabeng ya Karamele, e ile ya newa Isebele gore a sokologe, eupša le yena a gana. Molaong wa Lamorena wa Sontaga wo o tlago ka pela kua United States, wa mathomo wa dikgoši tša lefase tšeo di otshelago bootswa le yena mehleng ya bofelo ke United States, sebata sa lefase sa Kutollo 13. Ka gona e tlatšitše senwelo sa nako ya yona ya teko.
“The greatest and most favored nation upon the earth is the United States. A gracious Providence has shielded this country, and poured upon her the choicest of Heaven’s blessings. Here the persecuted and oppressed have found refuge. Here the Christian faith in its purity has been taught. This people have been the recipients of great light and unrivaled mercies. But these gifts have been repaid by ingratitude and forgetfulness of God. The Infinite One keeps a reckoning with the nations, and their guilt is proportioned to the light rejected. A fearful record now stands in the register of Heaven against our land; but the crime which shall fill up the measure of her iniquity is that of making void the law of God.
“Nchi iliyo kuu na iliyopendelewa zaidi juu ya dunia ni Marekani. Majaliwa yenye neema yameilinda nchi hii, na kuimiminia baraka teule kabisa za Mbinguni. Hapa walioadhibiwa kwa ajili ya imani yao na waliokandamizwa wamepata kimbilio. Hapa imani ya Kikristo katika usafi wake imefundishwa. Watu hawa wamekuwa wapokeaji wa nuru kuu na rehema zisizo na kifani. Lakini karama hizi zimelipwa kwa kutokuwa na shukrani na kwa kumsahau Mungu. Yeye Aliye Asiye na Kikomo huweka hesabu na mataifa, na hatia yao hupimwa sawasawa na nuru waliyoikataa. Sasa kumbukumbu ya kutisha imesimama katika daftari la Mbinguni dhidi ya nchi yetu; lakini uhalifu ambao utajaza kipimo cha uovu wake ni ule wa kuitangua sheria ya Mungu.
“Between the laws of men and the precepts of Jehovah will come the last great conflict of the controversy between truth and error. Upon this battle we are now entering,—a battle not between rival churches contending for the supremacy, but between the religion of the Bible and the religion of fable and tradition. The agencies which will unite against truth and righteousness in this contest are now actively at work.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 398.
“Di antara hukum manusia dan ajaran-ajaran Yehuwa akan datang konflik besar yang terakhir dalam pertentangan antara kebenaran dan kesesatan. Ke dalam peperangan inilah kita sekarang sedang memasuki,—suatu peperangan bukan antara gereja-gereja yang saling bersaing memperebutkan supremasi, melainkan antara agama Alkitab dan agama dongeng serta tradisi. Kuasa-kuasa yang akan bersatu melawan kebenaran dan keadilan dalam pertarungan ini kini sedang giat bekerja.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 398.
At the Sunday law, the mark of the beast is enforced, thus “making void the law of God.” Before the Sunday law, the image of the beast is formed within the United States. The Sunday law arrives at a point in time, but the formation of the image of the beast is a period of time. That period of time is the prophetic period represented by Daniel’s lifespan as represented by the seventy years of captivity in Daniel chapter one. Those seventy years began with Jehoiakim, symbolizing when the first message was empowered on September 11, 2001, and ended with the making void the law of God, as represented by the “decree” of Cyrus.
Marang a kgang ea molao oa Sontaha, letšoao la sebata le qobelloa, ka hona ho “etsa molao oa Molimo lefeela.” Pele ho molao oa Sontaha, setšoantšo sa sebata se bōptjoa ka hare ho United States. Molao oa Sontaha o fihla ka nako e itseng, empa ho bōptjoa ha setšoantšo sa sebata ke nako e telele. Nako eo ke nako ea boprofeta e emeloang ke bophelo ba Daniele, joalokaha e emetsoe ke lilemo tse mashome a supileng tsa botlamuoa ho Daniele khaolo ea pele. Lilemo tseo tse mashome a supileng li qalile ka Jehoiakime, e leng se tšoantšetsang ha molaetsa oa pele o ne o fuoa matla ka la 11 Loetse, 2001, ’me tsa fela ka ho etsoa ha molao oa Molimo lefeela, joalokaha ho emetsoe ke “taelo” ea Cyruse.
The history of Daniel’s prophetic life of seventy years is symbolic of several lines of prophecy. It represents the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. It represents a three-step testing process that is illustrated in the three angels of Revelation fourteen, and represents the structure of the Hebrew word “truth.” It represents the purification of the sons of Levi that is accomplished by the messenger of the covenant. It is represented by Christ twice cleansing the temple. It is represented by the progressive apostasy within Jerusalem in Ezekiel chapters eight and nine. It also represents the history where the image of the beast is formed in the United States.
Sejarah kehidupan kenabian Daniel selama tujuh puluh tahun melambangkan beberapa jalur nubuatan. Hal itu melambangkan masa pemeteraian seratus empat puluh empat ribu. Hal itu melambangkan suatu proses pengujian tiga langkah yang digambarkan dalam tiga malaikat dari Wahyu empat belas, dan melambangkan struktur kata Ibrani “kebenaran.” Hal itu melambangkan penyucian bani Lewi yang dilaksanakan oleh utusan perjanjian. Hal itu digambarkan oleh Kristus yang dua kali menyucikan Bait Suci. Hal itu digambarkan oleh kemurtadan yang berlangsung secara bertahap di dalam Yerusalem dalam Yehezkiel pasal delapan dan sembilan. Hal itu juga melambangkan sejarah ketika patung binatang itu dibentuk di Amerika Serikat.
The image of the beast is also represented by the fornication of Jezebel with Ahab, the fornication of Herod with Herodias, the golden calf of Aaron’s rebellion, the two counterfeit worship temples of Jeroboam located in Bethel and Dan, the prophets of Baal and the prophets of Ashtaroth in the story of Mount Carmel. The only definition of the image of the beast in the writings of Ellen White is the combination of church and state, with the church in control of the relationship. That issue of a church ruling over the state is the essence of what the sacred document, which is the Constitution of the United States, was designed to guard against. When the principle of the separation of church and state is discarded by the earth beast at the soon-coming Sunday law, the completed union of church and state in the United States will be accomplished.
Chibiakɔla ya nyama yango emonisami mpe na pite ya Jezabele elongo na Ahaba, pite ya Herode elongo na Herodiasi, mwana-ngɔmbɛ ya wolo ya botomboki ya Aarona, bandako mibale ya losambo ya lokuta ya Jeroboama oyo ezalaki na Bethele mpe na Dane, basakoli ya Baala mpe basakoli ya Ashtarote na lisolo ya Ngomba Karamele. Ndimbola bobele moko ya chibiakɔla ya nyama yango kati na mikanda ya Ellen White ezali bosangani ya lingomba mpe leta, na lingomba nde ezali kokonza boyokani yango. Likambo yango ya lingomba kokonza likoló ya leta ezali motó ya likambo oyo mokanda mosantu, oyo ezali Konstitisyo ya États-Unis, esalemaki mpo na kobatela bato mpo na yango te esalema.

From September 11, 2001 until the Sunday law in the United States there is a visual test, which is based upon students of prophecy recognizing the formation of the image of the beast. We are now at the very end of that process. In the process of forming the image of the beast there are several movements that contribute to the full development at the Sunday law, where the mark of the beast is enforced. There are political movements, religious movements, social movements and financial movements. Notice the events that are referenced in connection with the formation of the image of the beast in the following passage.
Mulai 11 September 2001 hingga hukum hari Minggu di Amerika Serikat, terdapat suatu ujian yang terlihat, yang didasarkan pada pengenalan para pelajar nubuatan terhadap pembentukan patung binatang itu. Sekarang kita berada tepat pada penghujung proses tersebut. Dalam proses pembentukan patung binatang itu, ada beberapa pergerakan yang turut menyumbang kepada perkembangan penuhnya pada waktu hukum hari Minggu, ketika tanda binatang itu dikuatkuasakan. Terdapat pergerakan politik, pergerakan agama, pergerakan sosial, dan pergerakan kewangan. Perhatikan peristiwa-peristiwa yang dirujuk sehubungan dengan pembentukan patung binatang itu dalam petikan berikut.
“Already preparations are advancing, and movements are in progress, which will result in making an image to the beast. Events will be brought about in the earth’s history that will fulfill the predictions of prophecy for these last days” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 976.
“Sudah persiapan sedang berlangsung, dan gerakan-gerakan sedang berjalan, yang akan berakhir dengan dibuatnya patung bagi binatang itu. Peristiwa-peristiwa akan terjadi dalam sejarah bumi yang akan menggenapi nubuatan-nubuatan bagi hari-hari terakhir ini” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 976.
The formation of the image of the beast involves an advancing preparation that includes “events” and “movements,” both in the plural. The history represented by Daniel’s seventy years of captivity began with Jehoiakim, and ended with the decree of Cyrus. Jesus illustrates the end of a thing with the beginning of a thing, and there is a “decree” that represents the beginning of the period that Daniel’s seventy prophetic years typifies. That “decree” was the USA Patriot Act, which was publicly premised upon the attack of Islam of the third woe. But unlike the dictatorial executive orders of Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War, or Franklin Roosevelt in World War Two, the Patriot Act is still in force, and will most likely be reinforced and strengthened as hostilities with global Islam increase. The executive orders of both the Civil and Second World War ended with the end of hostilities, but there will be no end of hostilities with global Islam, but rather, escalating terror attacks around the world.

There are two primary legal philosophies within Western culture. English Law and Roman Law. The premise of English Law is that a person is innocent until proven guilty, and the premise of Roman Law is that a person is guilty until proven innocent. The USA Patriot Act is a classic example of Roman Law, and stands in direct opposition to English Law. This is one of those “events” that would be brought about in the formation of the image of the beast. If the United States is going to become the image of Catholicism, Catholic religious and political philosophy would need to be established in the United States in advance of the enforcement of the mark of the beast.

“This subject is urging itself upon my mind. Consider it; for it is a matter of vast importance. With which of these two classes shall we identify our interest? We are now making our choice, and we shall soon discern between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not. Read the fourth chapter of Malachi, and think about it seriously. The day of God is right upon us. The world has converted the church. Both are in harmony, and are acting upon a short-sighted policy. Protestants will work upon the rulers of the land to make laws to restore the lost ascendency of the man of sin, who sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. The Roman Catholic principles will be taken under the care and protection of the State. This national apostasy will speedily be followed by national ruin. The protest of Bible truth will be no longer tolerated by those who have made not the law of God their rule of life. Then will the voice be heard from the graves of martyrs, represented by the souls which John saw slain for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ which they held; then the prayer will ascend from every true child of God, ‘It is time, Lord, for thee to work: for they have made void thy law.’” General Conference Daily Bulletin, January 1, 1900.
“Този въпрос настойчиво се налага на ума ми. Размислете върху него; защото е от изключителна важност. С коя от тези две групи ще отъждествим интереса си? Ние сега правим своя избор и скоро ще различим между онзи, който служи на Бога, и онзи, който не Му служи. Прочетете четвъртата глава на Малахия и размишлявайте сериозно върху нея. Божият ден е съвсем близо до нас. Светът е обърнал църквата към себе си. И двете са в съгласие и действат според късогледа политика. Протестантите ще въздействат върху управниците на страната, за да бъдат издадени закони за възстановяване на изгубеното надмощие на човека на греха, който седи в Божия храм и показва себе си, че е Бог. Римокатолическите принципи ще бъдат взети под грижата и закрилата на държавата. Това национално отстъпление скоро ще бъде последвано от национална гибел. Протестът на библейската истина вече няма да бъде търпян от онези, които не са направили Божия закон свое правило за живот. Тогава ще се чуе гласът от гробовете на мъчениците, представени от душите, които Йоан видя убити за Божието слово и за свидетелството на Исус Христос, което държаха; тогава молитвата ще се издигне от всяко истинско Божие дете: ‘Време е Ти да действаш, Господи, защото те обезсилиха Твоя закон.’” General Conference Daily Bulletin, January 1, 1900.
The previous passage marks the time when “Roman Catholic principles will be taken under the care and protection of the State,” as occurring at the Sunday law. The Sunday law is the end of the symbolic period that began on September 11, 2001. The Patriot Act at the beginning, typifies the Sunday law at the end. Two of the events that are brought about in order to form the image of the beast was the arrival of the third Woe, and the subsequent Patriot Act.
Perenggan sebelumnya menandakan waktu apabila “prinsip-prinsip Roman Katolik akan diambil di bawah pemeliharaan dan perlindungan Negara,” sebagai berlaku pada undang-undang Ahad. Undang-undang Ahad ialah penghujung tempoh simbolik yang bermula pada 11 September 2001. Akta Patriot pada permulaannya melambangkan undang-undang Ahad pada penghujungnya. Dua daripada peristiwa yang didatangkan untuk membentuk patung binatang itu ialah kedatangan Celaka yang ketiga, dan Akta Patriot yang menyusul sesudah itu.
The formation of the image of the beast is the test where our eternal destiny will be decided, and it comes in advance of the Sunday law. At the Sunday law our probation as Seventh-day Adventists closes, and it is there that the visible seal is impressed and the ensign uplifted. The formation of the image of the beast occurs before the Sunday law, before the visible sealing, and before the close of probation.

“The Lord has shown me clearly that the image of the beast will be formed before probation closes; for it is to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided. Your position is such a jumble of inconsistencies that but few will be deceived.

“This is the test that the people of God must have before they are sealed. All who proved their loyalty to God by observing His law, and refusing to accept a spurious sabbath, will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, and will receive the seal of the living God. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, will receive the mark of the beast” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 15.

Semua orang yang telah membuktikan kesetiaan mereka kepada Allah dengan memelihara hukum-Nya, dan menolak untuk menerima sabat palsu, akan berdiri di bawah panji Tuhan Allah Yehova, dan akan menerima meterai Allah yang hidup. Mereka yang melepaskan kebenaran yang berasal dari syurga dan menerima sabat Ahad, akan menerima tanda binatang itu” Manuscript Releases, jilid 15, 15.
The period of time for the formation of the image of the beast was represented by Daniel’s seventy years of captivity. Daniel first passed the test of fearing God, by choosing to eat only God’s food. Daniel’s first test was a dietary test. Daniel’s second test was a visual test that occurred at the end of a testing period of ten days of eating God’s diet, as opposed to eating the diet of Babylon. The success of that diet was manifested in Daniel’s physical appearance. The second test is a visual test. The first test is a dietary test. Daniel manifested his faith, and passed the first test, but in the second test, Daniel could not see in advance if he was going to appear “fatter and fairer” than those who ate Babylon’s diet. There are always people who look tremendous, but eat garbage, and there are conscientious health reformers that look like walking death.
Tempoh pembentukan patung binatang itu dilambangkan oleh tujuh puluh tahun pembuangan Daniel. Daniel mula-mula menghadapi ujian takut akan Tuhan, dengan memilih untuk makan hanya makanan Tuhan. Ujian pertama Daniel ialah ujian pemakanan. Ujian kedua Daniel ialah ujian penglihatan yang berlaku pada penghujung suatu tempoh ujian selama sepuluh hari memakan diet Tuhan, berbanding memakan diet Babel. Kejayaan diet itu dinyatakan dalam penampilan jasmani Daniel. Ujian kedua ialah ujian penglihatan. Ujian pertama ialah ujian pemakanan. Daniel memperlihatkan imannya, dan lulus ujian pertama, tetapi dalam ujian kedua, Daniel tidak dapat melihat terlebih dahulu sama ada dia akan kelihatan “lebih gemuk dan lebih elok” daripada mereka yang memakan diet Babel. Selalu ada orang yang kelihatan sangat hebat, tetapi makan sampah, dan ada para pembaharu kesihatan yang teliti yang kelihatan seperti maut yang berjalan.
The exercise of Daniel’s self-discipline and faith in the first test is what carried him through the second test, though the outcome of the second testing period was clouded in “darkness”. The Millerites who ate the little book on August 11, 1840, thereafter glorified God in the proclamation of the Midnight Cry message as the message swept over the land as a tidal wave. The second test is a visual test, which is preceded by a literal and spiritual dietary test and then followed by a prophetic litmus test. The second test requires a visual demonstration of the faith that was professed in the first test.

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Hebrews 11:1, 2.
Mme tumelo ke motheo wa dilo tše di holofetšwego, bohlatse bja dilo tše di sa bonagalego. Gobane bagolo ba hwetše bohlatse bjo bobotse ka yona. Baheberu 11:1, 2.
Daniel chapter two is a visual test, that is only successfully accomplished if the diet that was selected in the first test is actively applied to the testing process.
Даниелын хоёрдугаар бүлэг нь харааны шалгалт бөгөөд эхний шалгалтад сонгогдсон хооллолтыг шалгалтын явцад бодитоор хэрэгжүүлсэн тохиолдолд л амжилттай даван туулж чадна.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:3, 4.
Lӱдɔ лəр бəтəл кəн ƙə зəл, амма ахырда у тɵсəндирəк вə ялған демəс: əгəр у кичиксə, аны кɵт; чɵнки у, һич шɵбһəсиз, килер, у кичикмəс. Мана, кɵтəрелгəн аның җаны анда дɵрыс түгел: əмма гадел кеше үз иманы белəн яшəр. Хабаккук 2:3, 4.
The outcome of the second test is left in darkness in order to demonstrate if the professed faith of the first test was a genuine faith.
Keputusan ujian kedua dibiarkan dalam kegelapan untuk menunjukkan sama ada iman yang diakui dalam ujian pertama itu merupakan iman yang sejati.
“The special light given to John which was expressed in the seven thunders was a delineation of events which would transpire under the first and second angels’ messages. It was not best for the people to know these things, for their faith must necessarily be tested. In the order of God most wonderful and advanced truths would be proclaimed. The first and second angels’ messages were to be proclaimed, but no further light was to be revealed before these messages had done their specific work.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 971.
“Cahaya istimewa yang diberikan kepada Yohanes, yang dinyatakan dalam ketujuh guruh itu, adalah suatu penggambaran tentang peristiwa-peristiwa yang akan terjadi di bawah pekabaran malaikat pertama dan kedua. Bukanlah yang terbaik bagi umat itu untuk mengetahui hal-hal ini, karena iman mereka memang harus diuji. Dalam tatanan Allah, kebenaran-kebenaran yang paling ajaib dan maju akan diberitakan. Pekabaran malaikat pertama dan kedua harus diberitakan, tetapi tidak ada terang lebih lanjut yang boleh dinyatakan sebelum pekabaran-pekabaran ini menyelesaikan pekerjaan khususnya.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 971.
It is divinely fitting that Daniel chapter two, is based upon an image, for it represents the test of the image of the beast. Those students of prophecy that recognized September 11, 2001 as a fulfillment of prophecy, symbolically ate the hidden book. They were then led back to the old paths of Adventism as they appear on the pioneer 1843 and 1850 Charts. The old paths identified the movement of the first angel, which they then were led to understand represented the movement of the third angel. All the precious revelations that they were led to understand came about by the understanding of the prophetic methodology that they received. That methodology was typified by the methodology of William Miller, that was confirmed when the first message of his history was empowered on August 11, 1840.

“In the year 1840 another remarkable fulfillment of prophecy excited widespread interest. two years before, Josiah Litch, one of the leading ministers preaching the second advent, published an exposition of Revelation 9, predicting the fall of the Ottoman Empire. According to his calculations, this power was to be overthrown . . . on the 11th of August, 1840, when the Ottoman power in Constantinople may be expected to be broken. And this, I believe, will be found to be the case.’
“Pada tahun 1840, satu lagi penggenapan nubuat yang luar biasa telah membangkitkan minat yang meluas. Dua tahun sebelumnya, Josiah Litch, salah seorang pendeta terkemuka yang mengkhotbahkan kedatangan kedua, telah menerbitkan suatu penafsiran atas Wahyu 9, yang meramalkan kejatuhan Kekaisaran Ottoman. Menurut perhitungannya, kuasa ini akan ditumbangkan... pada tanggal 11 Agustus 1840, ketika kuasa Ottoman di Konstantinopel boleh diharapkan akan dipatahkan. Dan hal ini, saya percaya, akan ternyata demikian adanya.”
“At the very time specified, Turkey, through her ambassadors, accepted the protection of the allied powers of Europe, and thus placed herself under the control of Christian nations. The event exactly fulfilled the prediction. When it became known, multitudes were convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by Miller and his associates, and a wonderful impetus was given to the advent movement. Men of learning and position united with Miller, both in preaching and in publishing his views, and from 1840 to 1844 the work rapidly extended.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.
“Pada saat yang tepat sebagaimana telah ditentukan, Turki, melalui para dutanya, menerima perlindungan kuasa-kuasa sekutu Eropah, dan dengan demikian menempatkan dirinya di bawah kawalan bangsa-bangsa Kristian. Peristiwa itu menggenapi nubuatan itu dengan tepat. Apabila hal itu diketahui, ramai orang menjadi yakin akan ketepatan prinsip-prinsip penafsiran nubuatan yang diterima oleh Miller dan rakan-rakannya, dan suatu dorongan yang luar biasa diberikan kepada gerakan Advent. Orang-orang yang berilmu dan berkedudukan bergabung dengan Miller, baik dalam memberitakan mahupun menerbitkan pandangan-pandangannya, dan dari tahun 1840 hingga 1844 pekerjaan itu berkembang dengan pesat.” The Great Controversy, 334, 335.
When men accepted September 11, 2001, as a fulfillment of prophecy, they were also “convinced of the correctness of the principles of prophetic interpretation adopted by” Future for America. The angel had descended with the hidden book and commanded those that would eat, to eat. The prophetic logic contained within the little book of the Millerite history, and the hidden book of our current history, is required to safely navigate the test of the formation of the image of the beast. But after eating, or assimilation of the prophetic methodology, the student must thereafter manifest a visual confirmation of what he had previously eaten. That act of faith must be manifested by a test which is navigated with an outcome that is “dark”.
Hesomafo mla September 11, 2001 e le phethahatso ea boprofeta, ba ile ba boela ba “kholiseha ka ho nepahala ha melao-motheo ea tlhaloso ea boprofeta e amohetsoeng ke” Future for America.

Ketso eo ea tumelo e tshwanetse ho bonahatsoa ka teko e tsamaisoang ka sephetho se “lefifi”.
The prophetic rules of William Miller in the history of the first angel, combined with the prophetic keys that were established in the history of the third angel, allows students of prophecy to recognize that each of the three angels of Revelation fourteen brought with them a message in a little book that was to be eaten. The methodology they chose to eat allows those students to then see that when the angel of Revelation eighteen descended on September 11, 2001, he had a book that must be eaten in his hand, though it is not directly addressed in chapter eighteen.
Mapatlisiso ya boporofeta ya William Miller mo hisitoring ya moengele wa ntlha, a kopantswe le dikgono tsa boporofeta tse di neng tsa tlhomiwa mo hisitoring ya moengele wa boraro, a letla baithuti ba boporofeta go lemoga gore mongwe le mongwe wa baengele ba bararo ba Baebele ya Tshenolo kgaolo ya lesome le bonê o ne a tla le molaetsa mo bukeng e nnye e e neng e tshwanetse go jewa.

The angel had a hidden book in his hand. That prophetic logic is what Daniel represents when he chose to reject Babylonian food. That prophetic logic is what is necessary in order to see the formation of the image of the beast, for though we have been informed that there are “movements” and “events” that will be brought about in forming the image of the beast, we have also been informed that the movement for Sunday legislation is going on in “darkness.” We must have spiritual “night vision goggles” to be able to see their movements in the dark, for it is the formation of the image, but it is formed in “darkness”. It will only be recognized by the prophetic rules that the student of prophecy accepted when he recognized September 11, 2001, as a fulfillment of the arrival of the third Woe.
மலக்கின் கையில் ஒரு மறைக்கப்பட்ட புத்தகம் இருந்தது. பாபிலோனிய உணவை நிராகரிக்கத் தீர்மானித்தபோது தானியேல் பிரதிநிதித்துவப்படுத்தியது அந்தத் தீர்க்கதரிசனத் தர்க்கமே. மிருகத்தின் சாயலின் உருவாக்கத்தை காணும்படிக்கு அவசியமானதும் அதே தீர்க்கதரிசனத் தர்க்கமே; ஏனெனில் மிருகத்தின் சாயலை உருவாக்குவதில் உண்டாக்கப்படவிருக்கும் “இயக்கங்களும்” “நிகழ்வுகளும்” குறித்து நமக்குத் தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தபோதிலும், ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமைச் சட்டத்திற்கான இயக்கம் “இருளில்” நடைபெற்று வருகிறது என்றும் நமக்குத் தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. இருளில் அவர்களுடைய இயக்கங்களை காணும் பொருட்டு நமக்குப் ஆவிக்குரிய “இரவுக்காட்சிக் கண்ணாடிகள்” இருக்க வேண்டும்; ஏனெனில் அது சாயலின் உருவாக்கமே, ஆனாலும் அது “இருளில்” உருவாக்கப்படுகிறது. 2001 ஆம் ஆண்டு செப்டம்பர் 11-ஐ மூன்றாம் ஐயோவின் வருகை நிறைவேறுதலாகத் தீர்க்கதரிசன மாணவன் அறிந்தபோது ஏற்றுக்கொண்ட தீர்க்கதரிசன விதிகளினாலே மட்டுமே அது அடையாளம் காணப்படும்.
“God has revealed what is to take place in the last days, that His people may be prepared to stand against the tempest of opposition and wrath. Those who have been warned of the events before them are not to sit in calm expectation of the coming storm, comforting themselves that the Lord will shelter His faithful ones in the day of trouble. We are to be as men waiting for their Lord, not in idle expectancy, but in earnest work, with unwavering faith. It is no time now to allow our minds to be engrossed with things of minor importance. While men are sleeping, Satan is actively arranging matters so that the Lord’s people may not have mercy or justice. The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger. We should endeavor to disarm prejudice by placing ourselves in a proper light before the people. We should bring before them the real question at issue, thus interposing the most effectual protest against measures to restrict liberty of conscience. We should search the Scriptures and be able to give the reason for our faith. Says the prophet: ‘The wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.’” Testimonies, volume 5, 452.
“Бурхан Өөрийн ард түмнийг эсэргүүцэл ба уур хилэнгийн шуурганы эсрэг зогсоход бэлтгэгдэхийн тулд эцсийн өдрүүдэд юу тохиолдохыг илчилсэн. Өөрсдийн өмнө буй үйл явдлуудын талаар анхааруулга авсан хүмүүс ирэх шуургыг тайван хүлээн сууж, зовлонгийн өдөр Эзэн Өөрийн үнэнч хүмүүсийг халхлан хамгаална хэмээн өөрсдийгөө тайвшруулах ёсгүй. Бид Эзнээ хүлээж буй хүмүүс мэт байх ёстой; гэхдээ хоосон хүлээлтээр бус, харин чин үнэнч хөдөлмөрөөр, ганхашгүй итгэлээр. Одоо оюун санаагаа хоёрдогч ач холбогдолтой зүйлст автуулах цаг биш. Хүмүүс унтаж байх зуур Сатан Эзэний ард түмэн өршөөл ч үгүй, шударга ёс ч үгүй байхаар нөхцөл байдлыг идэвхтэй зохион байгуулж байна. Ням гаргийн хөдөлгөөн одоо харанхуй дунд замаа гарган урагшилж байна. Удирдагчид жинхэнэ асуудлыг нуун далдалж байгаа бөгөөд хөдөлгөөнд нэгдэж буй олон хүн өөрсдөө ч энэ далд урсгал хаашаа чиглэж байгааг олж харахгүй байна. Түүний мэдэгдлүүд намуун, гаднаа Христийн шинжтэй мэт боловч, тэр ярьж эхлэх үедээ луугийн сүнсийг илчлэх болно. Бидэнд заналхийлж буй аюулыг зайлуулахын тулд өөрсдийн хүч чадлын хэрээр бүхнийг хийх нь бидний үүрэг мөн. Бид өөрсдийгөө ард түмний өмнө зохистойгоор харуулснаар өрөөсгөл үзлийг намжаахыг хичээх ёстой. Ухамсрын эрх чөлөөг хязгаарлах арга хэмжээнүүдийн эсрэг хамгийн үр нөлөөтэй эсэргүүцлийг ийнхүү тавин, маргааны жинхэнэ асуудлыг тэдний өмнө дэлгэн тавих ёстой. Бид Судрыг шинжлэн судалж, итгэлийнхээ учир шалтгааныг тайлбарлаж чадахуйц байх ёстой. Эш үзүүлэгч ийн хэлдэг: ‘Хорон муу хүмүүс хорон муугаа үйлдэх болно. Хорон муу хүмүүсийн хэн нь ч ойлгохгүй; харин мэргэн хүмүүс ойлгоно.’ Гэрчлэлүүд, 5-р боть, 452.”
Daniel represents the “wise” who can see the movement for Sunday legislation, even though it is going on in “darkness.” He can do so, for he passed the dietary test, before the visual test. The visual test of the formation of the image of the beast takes place in “darkness.”
Daniel mewakili “orang-orang bijaksana” yang dapat melihat gerakan menuju perundang-undangan hari Minggu, sekalipun hal itu sedang berlangsung dalam “kegelapan.” Ia dapat berbuat demikian, sebab ia telah lulus ujian mengenai makanan, sebelum ujian penglihatan. Ujian penglihatan tentang pembentukan patung binatang itu berlangsung dalam “kegelapan.”
We will begin our consideration of Daniel chapter two as the second angel’s message in the next article.
Kitheu kyitu kya Danieli sura ya keli ta utonyi wa malaika wa keli nĩtwikala twambĩĩsya kũkĩsũngĩla mũandĩko-inĩ ũla ũka.
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16.
Ndzi ta koka lava feke mahlo hi ndlela leyi va nga yi tivangiki; ndzi ta va rhangela etindleleni leti va nga si tshama va ti tiva: ndzi ta hundzula munyama wu va ku vonakala emahlweni ka vona, ni swilo leswi govekeke ndzi swi lulamisa. Swilo leswi ndzi ta swi endla eka vona, naswona a ndzi nge va fularheli. Esaya 42:16.
