I have been drawing from a passage in Testimonies that provides various lines of truth in connection with the experience of Ezekiel, Isaiah and John within the sanctuary. John turned to see a voice behind him in Revelation chapter one.

Ndzi vile ndzi tshame ndzi xopaxopa eka ndzimana ya Timbhoni leyi nyikaka milawu yo hambana-hambana ya ntiyiso hi ku fambisana ni ntokoto wa Ezekiele, Esaya na Yohane endzeni ka vukwetsimelo. Yohane u hundzulukile ku ya vona rito leri a ri ri endzhaku ka yena eka Nhlavutelo ndzima ya vu-1.

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks. Revelation 1:10–12.

Aku berada dalam Roh pada hari Tuhan, dan aku mendengar di belakangku satu suara yang nyaring, seperti bunyi nafiri, yang berkata, Akulah Alfa dan Omega, yang pertama dan yang terakhir; dan, Apa yang engkau lihat, tuliskanlah dalam sebuah kitab, dan kirimkanlah itu kepada ketujuh jemaat yang ada di Asia; kepada Efesus, dan kepada Smirna, dan kepada Pergamus, dan kepada Tiatira, dan kepada Sardis, dan kepada Filadelfia, dan kepada Laodikia. Lalu aku berpaling untuk melihat suara yang berbicara dengan aku. Dan setelah aku berpaling, aku melihat tujuh kaki pelita emas. Wahyu 1:10–12.

From the isle of Patmos and then into the heavenly sanctuary, where John sees the vision of Christ that Sister White informs us of, is the same vision that Daniel saw in chapter ten of his book.

“‘In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all.... Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz. His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude’ (Daniel 10:2–6).

“‘Ngemihla leyo mina Daniyeli ngangilila amaviki amathathu aphelele. Angidlanga sinkwa esimnandi, inyama newayini akufikanga emlonyeni wami, futhi angizigcobanga nhlobo.... Ngase ngiphakamisa amehlo ami, ngabuka, bheka, kwakukhona umuntu othile embethe ilineni, izinkalo zakhe ziboshwe ngegolide elicolekileyo lase-Ufaz. Nomzimba wakhe wawunjengeberili, nobuso bakhe bunjengokubonakala kombani, namehlo akhe enjengezibani zomlilo, nezingalo nezinyawo zakhe zifana ngethusi elicwengiwe, nezwi lamazwi akhe lalinjengezwi lesixuku’ (Daniyeli 10:2–6).”

“This description is similar to that given by John when Christ was revealed to him upon the Isle of Patmos. No less a personage than the Son of God appeared to Daniel. Our Lord comes with another heavenly messenger to teach Daniel what would take place in the latter days.” Sanctified Life, 49.

“Gambaran ini sama dengan yang diberikan oleh Yohanes ketika Kristus dinyatakan kepadanya di Pulau Patmos. Tidak lain daripada Anak Allah sendiri telah menampakkan diri kepada Daniel. Tuhan kita datang bersama seorang utusan surgawi yang lain untuk mengajarkan kepada Daniel apa yang akan terjadi pada hari-hari terakhir.” Sanctified Life, 49.

The first nine verses identify how the Revelation of Jesus Christ is unsealed just before the close of human probation. The revelation was given by God to Jesus, who gave it to Gabriel, who gave it to John with a commission for John to send the message to the seven churches. Isaiah received his commission to do the same in chapter six, and Ezekiel received the same mandate in chapters two and three. John is a prisoner when he receives his commission, Ezekiel and Daniel are captives in Babylon and Isaiah is living in the history of the wicked king Ahaz of Judah.

Ayat sembilan yang pertama menunjukkan bagaimana Wahyu Yesus Kristus dibukakan tepat sebelum berakhirnya masa percobaan manusia. Wahyu itu diberikan oleh Allah kepada Yesus, yang memberikannya kepada Gabriel, yang memberikannya kepada Yohanes dengan suatu penugasan agar Yohanes mengirimkan pekabaran itu kepada ketujuh jemaat. Yesaya menerima penugasannya untuk melakukan hal yang sama dalam pasal enam, dan Yehezkiel menerima mandat yang sama dalam pasal dua dan tiga. Yohanes adalah seorang tahanan ketika ia menerima penugasannya, Yehezkiel dan Daniel adalah tawanan di Babel, dan Yesaya hidup dalam sejarah raja Yehuda yang fasik, yaitu Ahas.

“There were wheels within wheels in an arrangement so complicated that at first sight they appeared to Ezekiel to be all in confusion. But when they moved, it was with beautiful exactness and in perfect harmony. Heavenly beings were impelling these wheels, and, above all, upon the glorious sapphire throne, was the Eternal One; while round about the throne was the encircling rainbow, emblem of grace and love. Overpowered by the terrible glory of the scene, Ezekiel fell upon his face, when a voice bade him arise and hear the word of the Lord. Then there was given him a message of warning for Israel.” Testimonies, 751.

“๎มีล้อซ้อนอยู่ภายในล้อทั้งหลาย ในการจัดวางอันซับซ้อนยิ่ง จนเมื่อแรกเห็น เอเสเคียลเห็นประหนึ่งว่าทุกสิ่งกำลังสับสนอลหม่าน แต่เมื่อสิ่งเหล่านั้นเคลื่อนไป ก็เป็นไปด้วยความเที่ยงตรงอันงดงามและด้วยความประสานกลมกลืนอย่างสมบูรณ์ บรรดาสัตภาวะแห่งสวรรค์เป็นผู้ขับเคลื่อนล้อเหล่านี้ และเหนือสิ่งอื่นใดนั้น บนพระที่นั่งไพโรจน์ดุจไพลิน คือองค์ผู้ทรงสถิตนิรันดร์; และรอบพระที่นั่งนั้นมีรุ้งโอบล้อมอยู่ เป็นสัญลักษณ์แห่งพระคุณและความรัก เอเสเคียลซึ่งถูกครอบงำด้วยพระสิริอันน่าเกรงขามของภาพเหตุการณ์นั้น ก็ซบหน้าลงกับพื้น แล้วมีพระสุรเสียงตรัสสั่งให้ท่านลุกขึ้นและฟังพระวจนะของพระยาห์เวห์ จากนั้นจึงมีพระดำรัสแห่งคำเตือนสำหรับอิสราเอลมอบแก่ท่าน” Testimonies, 751.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isaiah 6:8.

Nengwa dimon aku no Kemuulu, ukuvuluka uti, Mbeni ndamu tumina, era mbeni indua kutuendela? Bwo ndiawuluku nti, Ndi pano; ntuma yame. Yesaya 6:8.

“This vision was given to Ezekiel at a time when his mind was filled with gloomy forebodings. He saw the land of his fathers lying desolate...

“Pono eno se filwe Hesekiele ka nako yeo monagano wa gagwe o bego o tletše ka go nagana pele dilo tše bohloko. O bone naga ya borakgolokhukhu ba gagwe e le lešope...”

“In like manner, when God was about to open to the beloved John the history of the church for future ages, He gave him an assurance of the Saviour’s interest and care for His people by revealing to him ‘One like unto the Son of man,’ walking among the candlesticks, which symbolized the seven churches. …

“Ka mokgwa o swanago, ge Modimo a be a le kgauswi le go utollela Johane morategi histori ya kereke bakeng sa meloko e tlago, O ile a mo nea netefatšo ya kgahlego le tlhokomelo ya Mophološi go batho ba Gagwe ka go mo utollela ‘Yo mongwe yo a swanago le Morwa wa motho,’ a sepela gare ga dikantlele, tšeo di bego di swantšhetša dikereke tše šupa. …”

“These lessons are for our benefit. We need to stay our faith upon God, for there is just before us a time that will try men’s souls. …

“Dithuto tše ke tša mohola wa rena. Re swanetše go tiiša tumelo ya rena go Modimo, gobane pele ga rena go na le nako yeo e tlago go leka meoya ya batho. …”

“We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecy is fast fulfilling. The Lord is at the door. There is soon to open before us a period of overwhelming interest to all living. The controversies of the past are to be revived; new controversies will arise. The scenes to be enacted in our world are not yet even dreamed of. Satan is at work through human agencies. Those who are making an effort to change the Constitution and secure a law enforcing Sunday observance little realize what will be the result. A crisis is just upon us.

“Kita berdiri di ambang peristiwa-peristiwa besar dan khidmat. Nubuatan sedang dengan cepat digenapi. Tuhan sudah di ambang pintu. Segera akan terbuka di hadapan kita suatu masa yang sangat menggugah perhatian bagi semua yang hidup. Pertikaian-pertikaian pada masa lampau akan dihidupkan kembali; pertikaian-pertikaian baru akan timbul. Adegan-adegan yang akan berlangsung di dunia kita ini bahkan belum pernah dibayangkan. Iblis sedang bekerja melalui alat-alat manusia. Mereka yang sedang berusaha mengubah Konstitusi dan memperoleh suatu undang-undang yang memaksakan pemeliharaan hari Minggu sedikit pun tidak menyadari apa yang akan menjadi akibatnya. Suatu krisis sudah tepat di hadapan kita.”

“But God’s servants are not to trust to themselves in this great emergency. In the visions given to Isaiah, to Ezekiel, and to John we see how closely heaven is connected with the events taking place upon the earth and how great is the care of God for those who are loyal to Him. The world is not without a ruler. The program of coming events is in the hands of the Lord. The Majesty of heaven has the destiny of nations, as well as the concerns of His church, in His own charge. …

“Namun para hamba Tuhan tidak boleh menaruh kepercayaan pada diri mereka sendiri dalam keadaan darurat yang besar ini. Dalam penglihatan-penglihatan yang diberikan kepada Yesaya, kepada Yehezkiel, dan kepada Yohanes, kita melihat betapa eratnya surga berhubungan dengan peristiwa-peristiwa yang terjadi di bumi dan betapa besarnya pemeliharaan Allah bagi mereka yang setia kepada-Nya. Dunia ini bukan tanpa seorang Penguasa. Rencana peristiwa-peristiwa yang akan datang berada di tangan Tuhan. Keagungan surga memegang dalam tanggungan-Nya sendiri nasib bangsa-bangsa, demikian juga perkara-perkara gereja-Nya. …”

“In Ezekiel’s vision God had His hand beneath the wings of the cherubim. This is to teach His servants that it is divine power that gives them success. He will work with them if they will put away iniquity and become pure in heart and life.

“Dalam penglihatan Yehezkiel, Allah memiliki tangan-Nya di bawah sayap-sayap kerubim. Ini untuk mengajarkan kepada hamba-hamba-Nya bahwa kuasa ilahi-lah yang memberikan kepada mereka keberhasilan. Ia akan bekerja bersama mereka jika mereka menyingkirkan kefasikan dan menjadi suci dalam hati dan kehidupan.

“The bright light going among the living creatures with the swiftness of lightning represents the speed with which this work will finally go forward to completion. …

“Lesedi le le phadimang le le tsamayang fa gare ga ditshedi tse di tshelang ka bonako jwa logadima le emela lebelo le tiro eno e tla feleletsang e tswelela ka lone go fitlha kwa phelelong. …”

“Brethren, it is no time now for mourning and despair, no time to yield to doubt and unbelief. Christ is not now a Saviour in Joseph’s new tomb, closed with a great stone and sealed with the Roman seal; we have a risen Saviour. He is the King, the Lord of hosts; He sitteth between the cherubim; and amid the strife and tumult of nations He guards His people still. He who ruleth in the heavens is our Saviour. He measures every trial. He watches the furnace fire that must test every soul. When the strongholds of kings shall be overthrown, when the arrows of God’s wrath shall strike through the hearts of His enemies, His people will be safe in His hands.” Testimonies, volume 5, 752–754.

“Бародарон, ҳоло вақти мотаму ноумедӣ нест, вақти таслим шудан ба шакку беимонӣ нест. Масеҳ ҳоло Наҷотдиҳандае нест, ки дар қабри нави Юсуф бошад, бо санги бузург баста ва бо муҳри румӣ мӯҳр задашуда; мо Наҷотдиҳандаи эҳёшуда дорем. Ӯ Подшоҳ аст, Худованди лашкарҳост; Ӯ байни каррубиён нишастааст; ва дар миёни низоъ ва ошӯби халқҳо Ӯ ҳанӯз ҳам қавми Худро муҳофизат мекунад. Ӯ, ки дар осмонҳо ҳукмронӣ мекунад, Наҷотдиҳандаи мост. Ӯ ҳар озмоишро андоза мекунад. Ӯ оташи кӯраеро, ки бояд ҳар ҷонро бисанҷад, назорат мекунад. Ҳангоме ки қалъаҳои подшоҳон фурӯ рехта хоҳанд шуд, ҳангоме ки тирҳои ғазаби Худо дилҳои душманони Ӯро хоҳад шикофта, қавми Ӯ дар дасти Ӯ дар амон хоҳанд буд.” Testimonies, volume 5, 752–754.

Four biblical witnesses attest to the fact that the message of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is given to those persons who are typified by these prophet’s experiences in the sanctuary. It is when we enter into the heavenly sanctuary that we are given the message which we have been ordained to proclaim. The “furnace fire” which tests “every soul” is the furnace of Malachi three.

Pā̀rọ̀ọ̀fátàn Bíbélì mẹ́rin jẹ́rìí sí òtítọ́ pé a fi ìhìnrere Ìfihàn Jésù Kristi fún àwọn ẹni wọ̀nyí tí a fi àwọn ìrírí wòlíì wọ̀nyí nínú ibi mímọ́ ṣàpẹẹrẹ wọn. Nígbà tí a bá wọ inú ibi mímọ́ ti ọ̀run, níbẹ̀ ni a ti ń fi ìhìnrere tí a ti yàn wá láti kéde fún wa. “Iná ileru” tí ń dán “ẹ̀mí gbogbo” wò ni ileru Málákì orí kẹta.

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the Lord, as in the days of old, and as in former years. Malachi 3:2–4.

Apakah yang dapat bertahan pada hari kedatangan-Nya? Dan siapakah yang akan tetap berdiri apabila Ia menampakkan diri? Sebab Ia seperti api pemurni dan seperti sabun tukang penatu. Ia akan duduk sebagai pemurni dan pentahir perak; Ia akan mentahirkan bani Lewi dan memurnikan mereka seperti emas dan perak, supaya mereka mempersembahkan kepada TUHAN suatu persembahan dalam kebenaran. Maka persembahan Yehuda dan Yerusalem akan berkenan kepada TUHAN, seperti pada hari-hari dahulu kala dan seperti pada tahun-tahun yang lampau. Maleakhi 3:2–4.

The refiner knows that the silver has been in the furnace for the correct amount of time when the silver is so pure that it reflects the refiner’s face. This fact about how silver was anciently refined, aligns with the causative verb “marah” that Daniel saw in chapter ten. In these final days the Lord is leading His people into the sanctuary to test, purify and purge the candidates to be a part of the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. In this period of time, “He will work with” us, “if” we “will put away iniquity and become pure in heart and life.” Some as in Daniel ten flee from that experience, but those, symbolized by Daniel, do see the great looking glass vision of the revelation of Jesus Christ will, as Isaiah illustrates, have their lips touched with a coal from the altar and will be purified and prepared to give a message to both an apostate church, and then the world.

Penyaring itu mengetahui bahawa perak telah berada di dalam dapur peleburan untuk tempoh yang tepat apabila perak itu menjadi begitu murni sehingga memantulkan wajah penyaring itu. Fakta tentang cara perak dimurnikan pada zaman dahulu ini selaras dengan kata kerja kausatif “marah” yang dilihat Daniel dalam pasal sepuluh. Pada hari-hari terakhir ini Tuhan sedang memimpin umat-Nya masuk ke dalam tempat kudus untuk menguji, memurnikan, dan menyucikan calon-calon yang akan menjadi sebahagian daripada panji bagi seratus empat puluh empat ribu itu. Dalam jangka waktu ini, “Dia akan bekerja dengan” kita, “jika” kita “menjauhkan kefasikan dan menjadi suci dalam hati dan hidup.” Sebahagian orang, seperti dalam Daniel sepuluh, melarikan diri daripada pengalaman itu, tetapi mereka yang, dilambangkan oleh Daniel, melihat penglihatan cermin besar tentang wahyu Yesus Kristus itu akan, sebagaimana digambarkan oleh Yesaya, disentuh bibirnya dengan bara dari mezbah lalu dimurnikan dan dipersiapkan untuk menyampaikan suatu pekabaran kepada gereja yang murtad, dan kemudian kepada dunia.

The message is presented to those faithful souls in the sanctuary. Leviticus twenty-three when aligned with the Pentecostal season is designed to reflect the Ark of the covenant in the Most Holy Place. By faith the structure of the chapter’s messages identify three waymarks within the sacred history that the furnace test is accomplished. Divinely profound—the prophetic structure of chapter twenty-three allows the student of prophecy to locate Ezekiel in verse one of chapter one.

Lephodiso le tšweleditšwe go meoya yeo e botegago ka sehalalelong. Lefitiko masomepedi-tharo, ge e bapetšwa le lebaka la Pentekoste, e rulagantšwe gore e bonagatše Areka ya kgwerano ka Sekgethwakgethwa. Ka tumelo, sebopego sa melaetša ya kgaolo se lemoga maswao a mararo ka gare ga histori ye kgethwa moo teko ya sebešo e phethwago gona. Ka mokgwa wa bomodimo wo o tseneletšego—sebopego sa boporofeta sa kgaolo ya masomepedi-tharo se dumelela moithuti wa boporofeta go hwetša Hesekiele temaneng ya pele ya kgaolo ya pele.

Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity. Ezekiel 1:1, 2.

Mua lo ni a toba dupe ni odun kerindinlogbon, li osu kerin, li ojo karun-un osu na, bi emi ti wa larin awon igbekun leti odo Kebari, pe orun si sile, mo si ri iran Olorun. Li ojo karun-un osu na, eyini ni odun karun-un igbekun oba Jehoiakini. Esekiẹli 1:1, 2.

As a priest during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, Ezekiel is in the thirtieth year of the seventeenth Jubilee cycle, five years before the third of three sieges of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BC. The thirtieth year in the verse is thirty years after the greatest revival of Old Testament history, and it is in the fifth day of the fifth year, thus placing the number five upon Ezekiel's testimony. In the two opening verses we find thirty identified once and the number five mentioned three times. In the structure of Leviticus twenty-three aligned with the Pentecostal season the second test represented by thirty reaches to the feast of trumpets, then five days to the ascension of Christ, then five days to the day of atonement, then five days to the waymark representing both the former (Pentecost) and latter (Tabernacles) rain. The structure presents thirty, followed by three steps of five. Ezekiel is in the temple and the structure of Leviticus twenty-three is the Ark.

Jako kněz v době pečetění sto čtyřiceti čtyř tisíc se Ezechiel nachází ve třicátém roce sedmnáctého jubilejního cyklu, pět let před třetím ze tří obležení Jeruzaléma Nebúkadnesarem roku 587 př. Kr. Třicátý rok v tomto verši přichází třicet let po největším probuzení dějin Starého zákona a je to pátý den pátého roku, čímž je na Ezechielovo svědectví vloženo číslo pět. V prvních dvou verších nacházíme číslo třicet označené jednou a číslo pět zmíněné třikrát. Ve struktuře Leviticus dvacet tři, sladěné s letničním obdobím, sahá druhá zkouška, představovaná číslem třicet, až ke svátku troubení, poté pět dnů k nanebevstoupení Krista, potom pět dnů ke dni smíření a poté pět dnů k mezníku představujícímu jak dřívější (Letnice), tak pozdní déšť (Stánky). Tato struktura předkládá třicet, po němž následují tři kroky po pěti. Ezechiel je v chrámě a strukturou Leviticus dvacet tři je Archa.

The history attests to the fact that Ezekiel at that point is five years before a symbolic siege that concludes typifying the soon-coming Sunday law as represented by the destruction of Jerusalem. The number ‘five’ is a primary element of the design of Leviticus twenty-three, as is the number thirty.

Sejarah membuktikan hakikat bahawa pada ketika itu Yehezkiel berada lima tahun sebelum suatu pengepungan simbolik yang pada akhirnya melambangkan undang-undang Ahad yang akan segera datang, sebagaimana diwakili oleh kebinasaan Yerusalem. Bilangan “lima” merupakan unsur utama dalam reka bentuk Imamat dua puluh tiga, sebagaimana juga bilangan tiga puluh.

It has been shown in these articles that when the first twenty-two verses of the chapter are aligned with the final twenty-two verses, and then together those two lines of twenty-two verses are aligned with the Pentecostal season, that the three-step testing process, which is the furnace fire of Malachi, are clearly illustrated. The three steps possess an alpha and omega in the first and third steps that consists of a series of four waymarks that represent one step.

Mihing ti a naiparangarang kadagitoy nga artikulo a no dagiti umuna a dua pulo ket dua a bersikulo iti kapitulo ket itunos kadagiti maudi a dua pulo ket dua a bersikulo, ket kalpasanna dagita dua a linia a naglaon iti dua pulo ket dua a bersikulo tunggal maysa ket itunos iti tiempo ti Pentecostes, ti proseso ti panangsubok a tallo-ti-pasamak, nga isu ti apuy ti hurno ni Malakias, ket nalawag unay a nailadawan. Dagiti tallo a paspaset addaanda iti alpha ken omega iti umuna ken maikatlo a paspaset, a buklenna ti sunod-sunod a uppat a waymark a mangiparangarang iti maysa a paspaset.

Passover, followed by the feast of unleavened bread, followed by the first fruit offering of barley, then ‘five’ days to the end of the feast of unleavened bread. Those four waymarks make up the first test, and Jesus always illustrates the end by the beginning, and the third test is also made up of four waymarks. The feast of trumpets, then the ascension of Christ followed by the day of atonement, and then five days later the arrival of both Pentecost and Tabernacles. Pentecost is the symbol of the former rain and Tabernacles is a symbol of the latter rain. In the Leviticus twenty-three model both Pentecost and Tabernacles align.

Paska, diikuti oleh perayaan roti tidak beragi, diikuti oleh persembahan buah sulung jelai, lalu ‘lima’ hari sampai berakhirnya perayaan roti tidak beragi. Keempat penanda jalan itu membentuk ujian pertama, dan Yesus senantiasa menggambarkan kesudahan melalui permulaan, dan ujian ketiga juga terdiri dari empat penanda jalan. Hari raya sangkakala, kemudian kenaikan Kristus yang diikuti oleh Hari Pendamaian, dan kemudian lima hari sesudahnya tibanya baik Pentakosta maupun Pondok Daun. Pentakosta adalah lambang hujan awal dan Pondok Daun adalah lambang hujan akhir. Dalam model Imamat dua puluh tiga, baik Pentakosta maupun Pondok Daun sejajar.

Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. Joel 2:23.

Bergembiralah, hai anak-anak Sion, dan bersukacitalah di dalam Tuhan, Allahmu; sebab Ia telah mengaruniakan kepadamu hujan awal dengan secukupnya, dan Ia akan menurunkan bagimu hujan, hujan awal dan hujan akhir, pada bulan yang pertama. Yoel 2:23.

The final testing and purification process began on December 31, 2023. The first test was the foundational test symbolized by the controversy of the “robbers of thy people” that divided the group who had been previously tried by the disappointment of July 18, 2020.

“In history and prophecy the Word of God portrays the long continued conflict between truth and error. That conflict is yet in progress. Those things which have been will be repeated. Old controversies will be revived, and new theories will be continually arising. But God’s people, who in their belief and fulfillment of prophecy have acted a part in the proclamation of the first, second, and third angels’ messages, know where they stand. They have an experience that is more precious than fine gold. They are to stand firm as a rock, holding the beginning of their confidence steadfast unto the end.” Manuscript Releases, volume 1, 47.

“Dalam sejarah dan nubuatan, Firman Tuhan menggambarkan pertentangan yang panjang dan berterusan antara kebenaran dan kesesatan. Pertentangan itu masih sedang berlangsung. Perkara-perkara yang telah terjadi akan berulang. Pertikaian-pertikaian lama akan dibangkitkan semula, dan teori-teori baharu akan terus-menerus timbul. Tetapi umat Tuhan, yang dalam kepercayaan mereka dan dalam penggenapan nubuatan telah mengambil bahagian dalam pengisytiharan perkhabaran malaikat pertama, kedua, dan ketiga, mengetahui di mana mereka berdiri. Mereka mempunyai suatu pengalaman yang lebih berharga daripada emas murni. Mereka harus berdiri teguh seperti batu karang, sambil berpegang pada permulaan keyakinan mereka dengan teguh sampai kepada akhirnya.” Manuscript Releases, jilid 1, 47.

In Leviticus twenty-three, the first test is represented by a prophetic combination of three followed five days later by the end of unleavened bread. Passover was day one, the feast of unleavened bread was the second day and the first fruits offering was the third day. Five days later the feast of unleavened bread ended. The prophetic structure of the first of three tests is also represented in the third and final test. In that third waymark, made up of three waymarks followed by one, the feast of trumpets is day one, and Christ’s ascension is five days later, then the day of atonement follows five days later, then five days later both Pentecost and the feast of Tabernacles mark the soon-coming Sunday law, which is represented in the book of Ezekiel as the destruction of Jerusalem.

Wafilipi kã Leviticus twende-thri, n'di ulemelilo wa kutangatija wawoniswe kupitila mu kusakanizga kwa chiprofeti kwa fitatu, ndipo patapita masiku ghankhondi pakiza umaliro wa chingwa chambura nyese. Pasika likaŵa zuŵa lakwamba, phwando la chingwa chambura nyese likaŵa zuŵa lachiŵiri, ndipo sembe ya vipambi vyakwamba likaŵa zuŵa lachitatu.

Between the end of the feast of unleavened bread and the feast of trumpets there are thirty days, that not only represent a symbol of a priest, but also the second test of the three tests represented within the Divine illustration.

Di antara akhir perayaan Roti Tidak Beragi dan perayaan Sangkakala terdapat tiga puluh hari, yang bukan sahaja melambangkan suatu simbol seorang imam, tetapi juga ujian kedua daripada tiga ujian yang digambarkan dalam ilustrasi Ilahi.

The baptism of Christ illustrates the three waymarks of Passover, unleavened bread and first fruits, for those three waymarks represent Christ’s death, burial and resurrection. Those three steps are followed by five days to the fourth step, represented by the end of the feast of unleavened bread. The baptism presents the three steps in one brief moment when John baptized his Messiah. The spring feasts separates those three steps by one day each, and the fall feasts separates those three steps by five days.

When we apply the first test of the spring feasts as a combination of three waymarks that are followed by one waymark five days later; and then apply the fall feasts as three waymarks that are followed five days later by one waymark, there is a prophetic structure established which consists of an alpha waymark of three followed by five days, which is then followed by thirty days, and the third test of the fall feasts as a waymark of three followed by five days—the structure illustrates the first test as covering a total of five days, followed by a second test of thirty days that reach to the third waymark of five days. Five plus thirty, plus five is forty (5 + 30 + 5 = 40).

Bila kita menerapkan ujian pertama bagi perayaan-perayaan musim bunga sebagai gabungan tiga tanda penunjuk yang diikuti oleh satu tanda penunjuk lima hari kemudian; lalu menerapkan perayaan-perayaan musim luruh sebagai tiga tanda penunjuk yang lima hari kemudian diikuti oleh satu tanda penunjuk, maka terbentuklah suatu struktur nubuatan yang terdiri daripada suatu tanda penunjuk alfa sebanyak tiga yang diikuti oleh lima hari, yang kemudian diikuti oleh tiga puluh hari, dan ujian ketiga bagi perayaan-perayaan musim luruh sebagai satu tanda penunjuk tiga yang diikuti oleh lima hari—struktur itu menggambarkan ujian pertama sebagai meliputi keseluruhan lima hari, diikuti oleh ujian kedua selama tiga puluh hari yang sampai kepada tanda penunjuk ketiga selama lima hari. Lima tambah tiga puluh, tambah lima ialah empat puluh (5 + 30 + 5 = 40).

Christ’s baptism was immediately followed by forty days, that concluded with three tests. Much more can be recognized in the structure of Leviticus twenty-three in combination with the Pentecostal season, but at another level the chapter represents the Ark in the Most Holy Place.

Baptemé Kristo ya landí mbala moko na mikolo ntuku minei, oyo esukaki na komekama misato. Makambo mingi koleka ekoki komonana na ebongiseli ya Baebele mokapo ya ntuku mibale na misato elongo na eleko ya Pentecôte, kasi na etando mosusu mokapo yango ezali komonisa Sanduku na Esika Eleki Bosantu.

The spring and fall feasts in Leviticus twenty-three are placed in the middle of two Sabbaths. Those two Sabbaths represent the two covering cherubs and the waymarks of the Pentecostal season aligned with Leviticus twenty-three represent the Ark and the two covering cherubs. Ezekiel is taken into the sanctuary in chapter one, and when he is taken there, he is located five days before the siege which leads to the destruction of Jerusalem typifying the soon-coming Sunday law. The Sunday law is represented by Pentecost and Tabernacles in Leviticus twenty-three. Ezekiel is in the thirtieth year, and thirty is the period of the second of the three tests that make up the furnace fire of Malachi three. The second test is represented by thirty days, just as Ezekiel is in the thirtieth year of the seventeenth Jubilee cycle that began at Josiah’s Great Passover, as the historians refer to it. Ezekiel is five years before the siege that lasted eighteen months, and he is in the temple, which is the middle of the three final tests that purify and purge the remnant.

Emikolo gya mu ttoggo n’eya kugwa mu Abaaleevi abiri mu ssatu giteekebwa wakati wa Ssabbiiti bbiri. Ssabbiiti ezo ebbiri zikiikirira bakerubi ababikkirira ababiri, era obubonero bw’ekkubo obw’omulembe gwa Pentekoote obukwatagana n’Abaaleevi abiri mu ssatu bukiikirira Essanduuko n’abakerubi ababikkirira ababiri.

In 592 BC, Ezekiel is supernaturally made “dumb” and only speaks when God opens his mouth. That condition continues until the fall of Jerusalem in 585 BC. God had caused him to speak when the siege began, the day “the desire of” his “eyes” died, but he was not allowed to speak freely until Jerusalem “the desire of” Israel’s “eyes” had fallen. Jerusalem’s fall represents the soon-coming Sunday law, and it is there that John the Baptist’s father, a priest of the eighth course, who was made dumb while serving in the temple, which is where Ezekiel was also made dumb for about nine months. It was on the eighth day after John’s birth, when John was being circumcised that he was allowed to speak. Two prophets made dumb while in the sanctuary. The third prophet to be made dumb while viewing Christ in the sanctuary was Daniel. In chapter ten, Daniel is in the sanctuary, and just as he is being touched a second of three times he is made dumb. At the middle point Daniel is made dumb.

And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb. And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength. Daniel 10:15, 16.

Meyeti nyie de me, menam m’anim guu fam, na meyɛɛ mum. Na hwɛ, obi a ɔte sɛ nnipa mma no de ne nsa kaa m’anofafa; ɛno akyi no, mibuee m’ano, kasae, na meka kyerɛɛ nea ogyina m’anim no sɛ: Ao, me wura, anisoadehu no nti awerɛhow ahorow aba me so, na minnya ahoɔden biara. Daniel 10:15, 16.

Speaking

ການເວົ້າ

The symbolism of “speaking” is marked at the soon-coming Sunday law when the United States speaks as a dragon, Balaam’s ass speaks, Habakkuk’s vision speaks and does not lie. The three dumb prophets who are made dumb while in the sanctuary, speak at the destruction of Jerusalem. With Zachariah, he speaks to identify that his son’s new name is correct, thus typifying the Philadelphian's who are given a new name.

Simbolisme “berkata-kata” itu ditandai pada undang-undang Ahad yang akan segera datang apabila Amerika Syarikat berkata-kata seperti seekor naga, keldai Balaam berkata-kata, penglihatan Habakuk berkata-kata dan tidak berdusta. Tiga nabi bisu yang dibisukan ketika berada di dalam tempat kudus berkata-kata pada waktu kebinasaan Yerusalem. Dengan Zakharia, dia berkata-kata untuk mengenal pasti bahawa nama baharu anaknya itu adalah benar, dengan demikian melambangkan orang-orang Filadelfia yang diberikan suatu nama baharu.

Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. Revelation 3:12.

A fa hlolang ke tla mo dira pilara mo tempeleng ya Modimo wa me, mme ga a kitla a tlhola a tswa; mme ke tla kwala mo go ene leina la Modimo wa me, le leina la motse wa Modimo wa me, e leng Jerusalema e ntšha, o o fologang kwa legodimong o tswa kwa Modimong wa me; mme ke tla kwala mo go ene leina la me le lesha. Tshenolo 3:12.

Zachariah was given a tablet to write the new family name of John.

Zachariah o ile a newa letlapa gore a kwale leina le lesha la lapa la ga Johane.

And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called. And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God. Luke 1:59–64.

Dan terjadilah, pada hari yang kedelapan mereka datang untuk menyunatkan kanak-kanak itu; lalu mereka menamakannya Zakharia, menurut nama bapanya. Tetapi ibunya menjawab, katanya, Tidak; sebaliknya dia akan dinamakan Yohanes. Dan mereka berkata kepadanya, Tidak seorang pun daripada sanak saudaramu yang disebut dengan nama ini. Lalu mereka memberi isyarat kepada bapanya, hendak mengetahui dengan nama apakah dia mahu anak itu dipanggil. Maka dia meminta sebuah loh tulis, lalu menulis, katanya, Namanya ialah Yohanes. Dan mereka semuanya hairan. Serta-merta mulutnya terbuka, dan lidahnya terlepas, lalu dia berkata-kata dan memuji Allah. Lukas 1:59–64.

John’s new name aligns with the church of Philadelphia, and the name Zachariah aligns with Laodicea as represented by Zachariah’s unbelief in the message of the third angel. All the prophets address the latter days, and latter days are the history of the third angel. So the angel that brought the message must be the third angel. Zachariah refused to understand that the Lord would pass by the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church. There is more to say about the restoration of the voice in these prophets, but we will continue to move towards an understanding of Josiah’s prophetic line.

Ngaran anyar Yohanes saluyu jeung garéja Filadelfia, sarta ngaran Zakaria saluyu jeung Laodikia sakumaha kagambarkeun dina kateu percayaanna Zakaria kana amanat malaikat katilu. Sakabéh nabi nyarita ngeunaan poé-poé panungtungan, sarta poé-poé panungtungan téh nyaéta sajarah malaikat katilu. Ku sabab éta, malaikat anu mawa amanat éta tangtu kudu malaikat katilu. Zakaria nolak ngartos yén Gusti bakal ngaliwat garéja Advent Poé Katujuh Laodikia. Masih aya deui anu kudu diomongkeun ngeunaan mulangkeunana sora dina para nabi ieu, tapi urang baris nuluykeun ngaléngkah ka arah pamahaman kana garis nubuatan Yosia.

Josiah’s Wheel

Gembul Liah Josiah

We have addressed the seventeenth Jubilee cycle that began at Josiah’s Passover in 622 BC, but the line of Josiah begins well before 622 BC. The rebellion of Israel that brought Saul to the throne as Israel’s first king marked forty years that king Saul would rule, followed by forty years that king David would rule, followed by forty years that Solomon would rule. The rejection of God that so offended the prophet Samuel occurred in 1097 BC, and begins a prophetic line of rebellion that ended at the cross when the Jews pronounced, they had no king, but Caesar.

Kita telah membahas siklus Yobel ketujuh belas yang dimulai pada Paskah Yosia pada tahun 622 SM, tetapi garis Yosia bermula jauh sebelum tahun 622 SM. Pemberontakan Israel yang mengangkat Saul ke atas takhta sebagai raja pertama Israel menandai empat puluh tahun pemerintahan raja Saul, diikuti oleh empat puluh tahun pemerintahan raja Daud, lalu diikuti oleh empat puluh tahun pemerintahan Salomo. Penolakan terhadap Allah yang demikian menyinggung nabi Samuel itu terjadi pada tahun 1097 SM, dan memulai suatu garis kenabian pemberontakan yang berakhir di salib ketika orang-orang Yahudi menyatakan bahwa mereka tidak mempunyai raja selain Kaisar.

But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. John 19:15.

Tetapi mereka berteriak, Singkirkan Dia, singkirkan Dia, salibkanlah Dia. Pilatus berkata kepada mereka, Haruskah aku menyalibkan Rajamu? Imam-imam kepala menjawab, Kami tidak mempunyai raja selain Kaisar. Yohanes 19:15.

In 1097, three kings would reign for forty years each until the death of Solomon in 977 BC, when the kingdom then divided into north and south.

Ka 1097, go be go buša dikgoši tše tharo ka nywaga ye masomenne ka o tee-tee go fihla lehung la Solomone ka 977 BC, ge mmušo o ile wa arogana ka morago wa ba wa leboa le wa borwa.

And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years. Acts 13:21.

Nabo ka moragonyana ba eletsa kgosi; mme Modimo a ba naya Saulo, morwa Kise, monna wa lotso lwa Benjamine, ka lobaka lwa dingwaga di le masome a mane. Ditiro 13:21.

David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years. In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah. 2 Samuel 2:4, 5.

Daud berumur tiga puluh tahun ketika ia mulai memerintah, dan ia memerintah empat puluh tahun lamanya. Di Hebron ia memerintah atas Yehuda tujuh tahun enam bulan; dan di Yerusalem ia memerintah tiga puluh tiga tahun atas seluruh Israel dan Yehuda. 2 Samuel 2:4, 5.

Solomon’s reign began in 1017 BC; the foundation of the Temple was laid in Solomon’s fourth year (1013 BC). Construction lasted seven years (1 Kings 6:37–38), and the Temple was completed in the eighth month of Solomon’s eleventh year. The formal dedication took place in the seventh month (the month of Ethanim), during the Feast of Tabernacles (1 Kings 8; 2 Chronicles 5–7), 1006 BC. The kings, the Temple and the nation each are represented in the history with a four-hundred-and-ninety-year period that distinctly marks a prophetic period in relation to either the kings, the Temple or the nation.

Mbuso wa Solomo u thomile nga 1017 BC; mutheo wa Thempeli wo vhewa nga ṅwaha wa vhuṋa wa Solomo (1013 BC). U fhaṱiwa ho dzhia miṅwaha ya sumbe (1 Dzikhosi 6:37–38), nahone Thempeli ya fhela nga ṅwedzi wa vhumalo wa ṅwaha wa vhuṱahe na muthihi wa Solomo. U kumedzwa ha tshiofisi ho itwa nga ṅwedzi wa vhusumbe (ṅwedzi wa Ethanimu), nga tshifhinga tsha Muṱa wa Dzitumba (1 Dzikhosi 8; 2 Koronika 5–7), nga 1006 BC. Dzikhosi, Thempeli, na lushaka, tshiṅwe na tshiṅwe, zwi imelwa kha ḓivhazwakale nga tshifhinga tsha miṅwaha ya maḓana maṋa na fumi-maṱanu, tshine nga u vha khagala tsha swaya tshifhinga tsha vhuporofita tshi elanaho kana na dzikhosi, kana na Thempeli, kana na lushaka.

Daniel was taken captive in 607 BC, though the majority of biblical chronologists identify 605 BC. The historical record must align with the prophetic testimony, and the symbolism of the events that are historically marked on the line of history that begins with the desire for a king in 1097 BC demands upon several prophetic witnesses that 607 BC is the accurate application, and not 605 BC. 607 BC marks the end of four-hundred and ninety years in the line of kings, but it also begins one of the three primary representations of seventy years that occur in the line. 607 BC marks the end of seventy years that began with the captivity of Manasseh in 677 BC. The first representation of the symbol of four hundred and ninety years (possesses three witnesses in the line), and concludes where one of the three witnesses of seventy years ends and another witness of seventy years begins. The mathematical structure testifies to 607 BC, in spite of the idea that Daniel was taken captive in 605 BC.

Daniel a wɔfa no kɔɔ nnommum mu wɔ 607 BC mu, ɛwom sɛ Bible mmerekanfo dodow no ara de 605 BC na ɛyɛ adwuma.

Akontaabu nhyehyɛe no di adanse ma 607 BC, ɛmfa ho adwene a ɛka sɛ wɔfaa Daniel kɔɔ nnommum mu wɔ 605 BC mu no.

Within the line that contains a period of 490 years associated with the kings from 1097 BC unto 607 BC, there is also 490 years from the dedication of Solomon’s Temple unto the dedication of the post-exile Temple by Zerubbabel in 515 BC. That 490 years consists of 420 years from Solomon’s dedication in his eleventh year, added to the 70 years the Temple was desolate during the captivity equaling 490 years. The third decree of Artaxerxes came 59 years later in 457 BC, and marks the beginning of 490 years that were “determined” (cut off, Daniel 9:24) for God’s people which concluded in the year 34 at the stoning of Stephen. There is of course, many other profound chronological witnesses in the prophetic line that begins with the foundational apostasy of rejecting God and the Spirit of Prophecy in 1097 BC and ends when Stephen saw Christ standing at the right hand of God. Within this testimony we find the prophetic wheel of Josiah.

Ndzi ku ya hi layini leyi nga ni nkarhi wa malembe ya 490 lowu fambisanaka ni tihosi ku suka hi 1097 BC ku fika eka 607 BC, ku tlhela ku va ni malembe ya 490 ku suka eku nyiketeriweni ka Tempele ya Solomoni ku fika eku nyiketeriweni ka Tempele ya le ndzhaku ka vuhlonga hi Zerubbabel hi 515 BC.

Hakunene, ku ni vumbhoni byin’wana byo tala lebyi dzikeke swinene bya xikhathaloko endzeni ka layini ya vuprofeta leyi sungulaka hi ku hambuka lokukulu ka masungulo, ku nga ku ala Xikwembu ni Moya wa Vuprofeta hi 1097 BC, kutani yi hela loko Stefano a vona Kriste a yime evokweni ra xinene ra Xikwembu. Endzeni ka vumbhoni lebyi hi kuma gilaidi ra vuprofeta ra Yosiya.

I say “foundational apostasy,” for the beginning of the line identifies when Israel rejected God as King, in their desire to have a worldly king thus marking the foundation of Israel’s human monarchy. I also write this for the wheel of Josiah, which means “foundation of God,” is a symbol of both the foundation and the foundational apostasy of God’s people.

Ndzi ri “ku fularhela ka masungulo,” hikuva masungulo ya nxaxamelo ma kombisa nkarhi lowu Israele va aleke Xikwembu tanihi Hosi, hi ku navela ka vona ku va ni hosi ya misava, kutani sweswo swi fungha masungulo ya vuhosi bya vanhu bya Israele. Nakambe ndzi tsalela leswi malunghana ni gili ra Yosiya, leri vulaka “masungulo ya Xikwembu,” hikuva i xikombiso xa masungulo ni xa ku fularhela ka masungulo ka vanhu va Xikwembu.

When Solomon died and the twelve tribes divided into north and south, Jeroboam’s dedication of the counterfeit system of worship was rebuked by the disobedient prophet, and his rebuke contained the prophecy of a coming king named Josiah. At the foundational apostasy of Jeroboam and the ten northern tribes, the prophecy of Josiah and his revival that is marked by the Great Passover of 622 BC was predicted. That revival was brought about by the discovery of the writings of Moses’ and the pronouncement of judgment upon God’s people for their continual apostasy. When the words from the writings of Moses were read to king Josiah, it produced the greatest revival of Old Testament history. The prophecy of a future child being born named Josiah also contained the prophetic condemnation of the foundational apostasy levelled against king Jeroboam by the disobedient prophet.

Ngenkathi Solomoni efa, nezinhlanga ezilitshumi lambili zehlukaniselwa enyakatho leningizimu, ukunikezelwa kukaJerobhowamu kwesimiso sokukhonza esamanga kwakhuzwa ngumphrofethi ongazange alalele, njalo ukukhuzwa kwakhe kwakuhlanganisa isiprofetho senkosi ezayo eyayizabizwa ngokuthi nguJosaya. Esikhathini sokuhlubuka okuyisisekelo kukaJerobhowamu kanye lezinhlanga ezilitshumi zasenyakatho, kwaprofethwa isiprofetho sikaJosaya kanye lemvuselelo yakhe ephawulwa yiPhasika Elikhulu lika-622 BC. Leyomvuselelo yalethwa yikutholakala kwemibhalo kaMozisi kanye lokumenyezelwa kwesahlulelo phezu kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu ngenxa yokuhlala kwabo ekuhlubukeni. Lapho amazwi avela emibhalweni kaMozisi efundelwa inkosi uJosaya, kwaveza imvuselelo enkulu kulazo zonke emlandweni weTestamente Elidala. Isiprofetho somntwana wesikhathi esizayo owayezazalwa abizwe ngokuthi nguJosaya sasiqukethe njalo ukulahlwa okungokwesiprofetho kokuhlubuka okuyisisekelo okwaqondiswa enkosini uJerobhowamu ngumphrofethi ongazange alalele.

The curse of Moses as Daniel calls it, is the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six, and it became the foundational discovery of William Miller who is the symbol of the foundational truths of Adventism. The empowerment of Miller’s message on August 11, 1840 was brought about through the work of “Josiah” Litch in 1838 and 1840. In 1863 those foundations were set aside and the “seven times” became a symbol of not only the foundational truths of the Philadelphian Millerites, but also the symbol of the rebellion of Laodicean Millerism against the foundations. The history of the Millerites of the first and second angels possesses the symbolism of “Josiah,” that will be repeated to the very letter in the history of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The wheel of Josiah reaches back to the witchcraft of king Saul and then all the way to the spewing out of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church at the Sunday law. Josiah’s wheel in Ezekiel is now in the process of being unsealed as the climax of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
