There are many amazing and important prophetic lines and truths in the book of Ezekiel. Of the biblical illustrations of prophets within the temple, Ezekiel is the one above all others that identifies the wheels within the wheels. Those wheels, according to Sister White represent the complex interplay of human activity illustrating the sequence of events in the time of the latter rain. Those events are represented by the prophet when he became part of the prophecy in an acted-out parable, such as when Ezekiel lies on his left and then right side in chapter four’s illustration of the siege of Jerusalem. There are also thirteen specific dates that outline Ezekiel’s history, and in so doing provide the waymarks of the latter rain period, when the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed. There are truths conveyed not only through dates, but also by numbers such as seventeen, nineteen, twenty-five, seventy, forty, three hundred and ninety and of course, thirty. Another number that is perhaps the most important number in the book of Ezekiel is the number one hundred and fifty. Yet the number one hundred and fifty is not found in the book of Ezekiel. Still, line upon line—it is there.

Indioba, line upon line—it is there.
The number one hundred and fifty is prophetically embedded within the line of the siege, and the siege is a distinct prophetic line; or if you will, the siege is a wheel. A prophetic line of history will always possess an alpha and omega, and in so doing the characteristics of alpha and omega must be represented at the beginning and end of the line, or it isn’t a line. The alpha event of the siege was the death of Ezekiel’s wife and the end of the siege was the death of the bride of Christ, as represented by the destruction of Jerusalem.
Nomoro efele moko na ntuku mitano ezali kotyama na lolenge ya esakweli kati na molɔngɔ ya ezingelo, mpe ezingelo ezali molɔngɔ moko ya esakweli oyo ekeseni; to soki olingi, ezingelo ezali lokola roue.

Likambo ya alpha ya ezingelo ezalaki liwa ya mwasi ya Ezekiel, mpe nsuka ya ezingelo ezalaki liwa ya mwasi ya libala ya Klisto, ndenge emonisamaki na kobebisama ya Yerusaleme.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. Revelation 21:2–9.

Ezekiel’s wife dies at the outset of the siege, and she is there identified as the “desire of” Ezekiel’s “eyes,” and in the destruction of Jerusalem set forth in the same chapter, Jerusalem is identified as “the desire” of Israel’s “eyes.”
На почетокот на опсадата умира жената на Езекиел, и таму таа е означена како „желбата на“ очите на Езекиел, а во уништувањето на Ерусалим, изложено во истата глава, Ерусалим е означен како „желбата“ на очите на Израел.
Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, … Also the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded. And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
Agaŋa nwaha itúu̱t ke itia-itaat, ke ituk-ŋwón, ke usiò úkpetn̄kpọ ikáŋ, nti Ókikop Abasi ama adaha ndzi mmi, asị, … Nti Ókikop Abasi ama adaha ndzi mmi ọzọ, asị, Eyen owo, le, Ami ndimé adụhe fi nsio̱ño̱ imọ̱ñ fóñ fi ke ukut: edi idịk idịm mkpu, idịk idem ẹti, idịk mmọn̄ñ fóñ fi itịm.

Nti owo ẹma ẹdọhọ m, ẹsị, Didie, idịk n̄kpọo nnyịn se n̄kpọ emi ẹdude nnọ nnyịn, ke afo anam ntre?
Then I answered them, The word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword. And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
Тэгээд би тэдэнд хариулан, “ЭЗЭНий үг надад ирж, ийн айлдсан: Израилийн гэрт хэлэгтүн, Эзэн БУРХАН ийн айлдаж байна: Болгоогтун, Би Өөрийн ариун газрыг—та нарын хүч чадлын сүр жавхлан, нүдний чинь хүсэмжлэл, сэтгэлийн чинь хайрлан энэрдэг зүйлийг—бузарлуулах болно. Та нарын орхин үлдээсэн хөвгүүд, охид чинь илдээр унана. Та нар миний үйлдсэнчлэн үйлдэх болно: уруулаа бүтээхгүй, хүмүүсийн талхыг идэхгүй. Толгойн боолт чинь толгой дээрээ, гутал чинь хөл дээрээ байх болно. Та нар гашуудан уйлахгүй; харин өөрсдийн гэмийн дотор хатан шаналах бөгөөд бие бие рүүгээ гашуудан ёолох болно” гэв.
Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord God. Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears? In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel 24:1, 15–27.

The siege’s alpha is the death of Ezekiel’s desire, and the omega is the death of Israel’s desire.

Hearing, but Not Hearing
Va Utlwa, Fela E Seng go Utlwa
There are five times the elders or the people are portrayed in some fashion as listening to Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 8:1, the elders of Judah sit before him. In Ezekiel 14:1 the elders come and sit before him. In Ezekiel 20:1 the elders of Israel come to inquire of the Lord. In Ezekiel 37:18, God tells Ezekiel: “When the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?” In chapter twenty-four the people directly ask: “Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?” In each of the five instances the elders or people are in a Laodicean condition.
Go na le dinako tše hlano tšeo bagolo goba setšhaba ba bontšhwago ka mokgwa o mongwe ba theeleditše Hesekiele. Go Hesekiele 8:1, bagolo ba Juda ba dutše pele ga gagwe. Go Hesekiele 14:1 bagolo ba tla ba dula pele ga gagwe. Go Hesekiele 20:1 bagolo ba Isiraele ba tla go botšiša Morena. Go Hesekiele 37:18, Modimo o botša Hesekiele a re: “Ge bana ba setšhaba sa geno ba ka bolela le wena, ba re, Na o ka se re bontšhe gore dilo tše di ra’ng?” Kgaolong ya masomepedi-nne setšhaba se botšiša ka go lebanya, se re: “Na o ka se re botše gore dilo tše tše o di dirago di ra’ng go rena?” Go e nngwe le e nngwe ya dikarolo tše hlano, bagolo goba setšhaba ba maemong a Laodisea.
And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Isaiah 6:9, 10.
Тэгээд Тэрээр айлдахдаа, Яв, энэ ард түмэнд ийн хэл: Та нар үнэхээр сонсовч ойлгохгүй; үнэхээр харавч ухаарахгүй. Энэ ард түмний зүрхийг бүдүүлэг болго, чихийг нь дүлийрүүл, нүдийг нь аниул; эс тэгвээс тэд нүдээрээ харж, чихээрээ сонсож, зүрхээрээ ойлгон, эргэж, эдгэх болно. Исаиа 6:9, 10.
The five representations of the people hearing but not hearing, and the five representations of the people seeing, but not seeing align with the five steps of those who refuse to see and hear in Isaiah’s testimony.
Bohlanu bahlanu bebantfu labevako kodvwa bangavi, kanye nebuhlanhu bebantfu labasebabonako kodvwa bangaboni, kuhambisana netinyatselo letihlanu talabala labo labangafuni kubona nekuva ebufakazini ba-Isaya.
But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Isaiah 28:13.
Tetapi firman TUHAN bagi mereka ialah perintah demi perintah, perintah demi perintah; baris demi baris, baris demi baris; di sini sedikit, dan di sana sedikit; supaya mereka pergi, dan jatuh ke belakang, dan diremukkan, dan terjerat, dan tertangkap. Yesaya 28:13.
And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Isaiah 8:15.
Ka gona ba bantsi mo go bone ba tlaa kgopiwa, ba we, ba robega, ba tshwarwa mo serung, ba bo ba tsewa. Isaia 8:15.

In chapter twenty-four of Ezekiel, the period beginning at the siege and the death of Ezekiel’s wife—the desire of his eyes ends at the death of Jerusalem—the desire of Israel’s eyes. The one-and-a-half-year siege contains the signature of Alpha and Omega, and the period begins and ends with a sign. As in Ezekiel twenty-four, Jesus identifies the sign of the siege in Matthew twenty-four.
Dalam pasal dua puluh empat Yehezkiel, masa yang bermula pada pengepungan dan kematian isteri Yehezkiel—keinginan matanya—berakhir pada kematian Yerusalem—keinginan mata Israel. Pengepungan selama satu setengah tahun itu mengandungi tanda khas Alfa dan Omega, dan masa itu bermula serta berakhir dengan suatu tanda. Sebagaimana dalam Yehezkiel dua puluh empat, Yesus mengenal pasti tanda pengepungan itu dalam Matius dua puluh empat.
“Christ’s words had been spoken in the hearing of a large number of people; but when He was alone, Peter, John, James, and Andrew came to Him as He sat upon the Mount of Olives. ‘Tell us,’ they said, ‘when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of Thy coming, and of the end of the world?’ Jesus did not answer His disciples by taking up separately the destruction of Jerusalem and the great day of His coming. He mingled the description of these two events. Had He opened to His disciples future events as He beheld them, they would have been unable to endure the sight. In mercy to them He blended the description of the two great crises, leaving the disciples to study out the meaning for themselves. When He referred to the destruction of Jerusalem, His prophetic words reached beyond that event to the final conflagration in that day when the Lord shall rise out of His place to punish the world for their iniquity, when the earth shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. This entire discourse was given, not for the disciples only, but for those who should live in the last scenes of this earth’s history.
Kata-kata Kristus telah diucapkan di hadapan sejumlah besar orang; tetapi ketika Ia sendirian, Petrus, Yohanes, Yakobus, dan Andreas datang kepada-Nya sementara Ia duduk di atas Bukit Zaitun. “Katakanlah kepada kami,” kata mereka, “bilamanakah perkara-perkara ini akan terjadi? dan apakah tanda kedatangan-Mu, dan tanda kesudahan dunia?” Yesus tidak menjawab murid-murid-Nya dengan membahas secara terpisah kehancuran Yerusalem dan hari besar kedatangan-Nya. Ia memadukan uraian tentang kedua peristiwa ini. Seandainya Ia menyingkapkan kepada murid-murid-Nya peristiwa-peristiwa masa depan sebagaimana Ia melihatnya, mereka tidak akan sanggup menanggung pemandangan itu. Demi belas kasihan kepada mereka Ia memadukan gambaran tentang dua krisis besar itu, sambil membiarkan para murid menelaah maknanya bagi diri mereka sendiri. Ketika Ia merujuk kepada kehancuran Yerusalem, kata-kata nubuat-Nya menjangkau melampaui peristiwa itu kepada kebakaran besar terakhir pada hari ketika Tuhan akan bangkit dari tempat-Nya untuk menghukum dunia karena kedurhakaan mereka, ketika bumi akan menyingkapkan darahnya, dan tidak lagi menutupi orang-orangnya yang terbunuh. Seluruh khotbah ini diberikan, bukan hanya bagi murid-murid itu saja, melainkan juga bagi mereka yang akan hidup pada adegan-adegan terakhir sejarah bumi ini.
“Turning to the disciples, Christ said, ‘Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.’ Many false messiahs will appear, claiming to work miracles, and declaring that the time of the deliverance of the Jewish nation has come. These will mislead many. Christ’s words were fulfilled. Between His death and the siege of Jerusalem many false messiahs appeared. But this warning was given also to those who live in this age of the world. The same deceptions practiced prior to the destruction of Jerusalem have been practiced through the ages, and will be practiced again.
Beralih kepada murid-murid-Nya, Kristus berkata, “Waspadalah supaya jangan seorang pun menyesatkan kamu. Sebab banyak orang akan datang dengan memakai nama-Ku dan berkata: Akulah Mesias; dan mereka akan menyesatkan banyak orang.” Banyak mesias palsu akan tampil, mengaku dapat mengadakan mukjizat, dan menyatakan bahwa waktunya telah tiba bagi pembebasan bangsa Yahudi. Mereka ini akan menyesatkan banyak orang. Perkataan Kristus digenapi. Antara kematian-Nya dan pengepungan Yerusalem, banyak mesias palsu telah muncul. Tetapi amaran ini juga diberikan kepada mereka yang hidup pada zaman dunia ini. Penyesatan yang sama, yang dilakukan sebelum kehancuran Yerusalem, telah dilakukan sepanjang zaman, dan akan dilakukan lagi.
“‘And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.’ Prior to the destruction of Jerusalem, men wrestled for the supremacy. Emperors were murdered. Those supposed to be standing next the throne were slain. There were wars and rumors of wars. ‘All these things must come to pass,’ said Christ, ‘but the end [of the Jewish nation as a nation] is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.’ Christ said, As the rabbis see these signs, they will declare them to be God’s judgments upon the nations for holding in bondage His chosen people. They will declare that these signs are the token of the advent of the Messiah. Be not deceived; they are the beginning of His judgments. The people have looked to themselves. They have not repented and been converted that I should heal them. The signs that they represent as tokens of their release from bondage are signs of their destruction.” The Desire of Ages, 628.
“‘Dan kamu akan mendengar deru peperangan dan kabar-kabar tentang peperangan; waspadalah supaya kamu jangan gelisah; karena semuanya itu harus terjadi, tetapi kesudahannya belum tiba.’ Sebelum kehancuran Yerusalem, manusia bergumul untuk memperoleh supremasi. Para kaisar dibunuh. Mereka yang dianggap berdiri paling dekat dengan takhta dibunuh. Terjadi peperangan dan kabar-kabar tentang peperangan. ‘Semuanya itu harus terjadi,’ kata Kristus, ‘tetapi kesudahannya [bangsa Yahudi sebagai suatu bangsa] belum tiba. Sebab bangsa akan bangkit melawan bangsa, dan kerajaan melawan kerajaan; dan akan ada kelaparan, penyakit sampar, dan gempa bumi di berbagai tempat. Semua itu adalah permulaan penderitaan.’ Kristus berkata, Ketika para rabi melihat tanda-tanda ini, mereka akan menyatakannya sebagai penghukuman Allah atas bangsa-bangsa karena memperhamba umat pilihan-Nya. Mereka akan menyatakan bahwa tanda-tanda ini adalah lambang kedatangan Mesias. Jangan tertipu; semuanya itu adalah permulaan penghukuman-Nya. Bangsa itu telah memandang kepada dirinya sendiri. Mereka tidak bertobat dan tidak berbalik supaya Aku menyembuhkan mereka. Tanda-tanda yang mereka nyatakan sebagai lambang pembebasan mereka dari perhambaan adalah tanda-tanda kebinasaan mereka.” The Desire of Ages, 628.
The siege of Jerusalem in the year 66, contained the sign of Rome placing its standards in the precinct of the sanctuary. Jesus’ commentary of the events of the period of 66 to 70, aligned the destruction of the year 70 with His Second Coming; and there is a sign associated with His Second Coming.
Pengepungan Yerusalem pada tahun 66 mengandungi tanda bahawa Rom meletakkan panji-panjinya di kawasan Bait Suci. Ulasan Yesus tentang peristiwa-peristiwa dalam tempoh tahun 66 hingga 70 menyelaraskan kebinasaan pada tahun 70 dengan Kedatangan-Nya yang Kedua; dan ada suatu tanda yang berkaitan dengan Kedatangan-Nya yang Kedua itu.
“Soon our eyes were drawn to the East, for a small black cloud had appeared about half as large as a man’s hand, which we all knew was the Sign of the Son of Man.” The Day Star, 1846.
“Leshwa la rona le ne la gogelwa kwa Botlhaba, gonne leru le lennye le letsho le ne le bonagetse, e ka nna bogolo jwa sephatlo sa seatla sa monna, le re rotlhe re neng re itse gore e ne e le Sesupo sa Morwa Motho.” The Day Star, 1846.
The beginning and ending of the history of 66 to 70 AD contain a sign associated with the beginning of the siege and the destruction of the city, that aligns with the alpha and omega sign of the death of the desire of the eyes in 587 BC and 586 BC.
Permulaan dan pengakhiran sejarah dari tahun 66 hingga 70 M mengandung suatu tanda yang berkaitan dengan permulaan pengepungan dan penghancuran kota itu, yang selaras dengan tanda alfa dan omega dari kematian dambaan mata pada tahun 587 SM dan 586 SM.
The history of the one-and-a-half-year siege is a “sign,” for the latter days. The foolish virgins represented in the history of Ezekiel find the counterpart in the history of the wise virgins who saw the sign of the siege in the year 66 and fled to safety. The one-and-a-half-year siege is the sign that manifests two classes of worshippers. One class will understand the sign, the other class, represented as “many” by Isaiah—will not see or hear.
Masalaysayan asin tulo-kateng taon na pagkubkob iyo an sarong “tandâ” para sa huring mga aldaw. An mga burángaon na dalaga na ipinapahiling sa kasaysayan ni Ezekiel may kaparis sa kasaysayan kan mga madunong na dalaga na nakahiling kan tandâ kan pagkubkob kan taon na 66 asin nagluwas pakadto sa kaluwasan. An masalaysayan asin tulo-kateng taon na pagkubkob iyo an tandâ na nagpapahayag kan duwang uri nin mga sumasamba. An saro na uri makakasabot kan tandâ; an iba pang uri, na inilalarawan ni Isaias bilang “dakol,” dai makakahiling ni makakarinig.

Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called, but few are chosen. Matthew 22:13, 14.
Oyo mokonzi alobaki na basaleli: Bókanga ye mabɔkɔ mpe makolo, bólongola ye, mpe bóbwaka ye na molili ya libándá; kuna nde kolela mpe koswa mino ekozala. Mpo mingi babengami, kasi moke nde baponami. Matai 22:13, 14.
So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Matthew 20:16.
Bongo ba mafelelo ba tlaa nna ba ntlha, mme ba ntlha ba mafelelo; gonne bontsi bo bidiwa, mme ba le mmalwa ba tlhophilwe. Mathaio 20:16.
To See and Hear
Ukubona Nokuzwa
There are five acted out parables in the book of Ezekiel and also five times that Ezekiel spoke to the leaders and people. Those two witnesses identify the five foolish virgins who refuse to ‘see’ and refuse to ‘hear.’ They refuse to see or hear the knowledge that is increased when Jesus, who as the Lion of the tribe of Judah unseals His prophetic Word.

The World will See and Hear
Lefase le tla Bona le go Kwa
All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. Isaiah 18:3.
Semua orang yang mendiami dunia, dan yang diam di bumi, lihatlah, apabila Ia mengangkat suatu panji-panji di atas gunung-gunung; dan apabila Ia meniup sangkakala, dengarkanlah. Yesaya 18:3.
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. Isaiah 29:18.
“Moo ka letsatsi leo ba ba sa utlweng litsebeng ba tla utlwa mafoko a buka, mme matlho a difofu a tla bona go tswa mo sebifing le mo lefifing.” Isaia 29:18.
My Foolish & Sottish People have no Knowledge
माई फ़ूलिश ऐंड सॉटिश पीपल हैव नो नॉलेज
How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet? For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge. Jeremiah 4:21, 22.
Да би хэр удаан тугийг харж, бүрээний дууг сонсох вэ? Учир нь Миний ард түмэн мунхаг, тэд Намайг мэдээгүй; тэд ухаан муут хүүхдүүд бөгөөд огт ойлголтгүй; тэд мууг үйлдэхдээ мэргэн, харин сайныг үйлдэх мэдлэг тэдэнд үгүй. Иеремиа 4:21, 22.
Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying, Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not. Jeremiah 5:20, 21.
Ndalambani yayi na kati ka Yakobo, mpe bosakola yango na Yuda, koloba ete, Boyoka sik’oyo likambo oyo, bino bato bazangi mayele, mpe bozangi bososoli; bozali na miso, kasi bomonaka te; bozali na matoi, kasi boyokaka te. Yeremia 5:20, 21.
A Rebellious House
Ntlo e e tletseng borabele
The word of the Lord also came unto me, saying, Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house. Ezekiel 12:1, 2.
Firman Tuhan juga datang kepadaku, demikian: Hai anak manusia, engkau diam di tengah-tengah kaum pemberontak, yang mempunyai mata untuk melihat, tetapi tidak melihat; yang mempunyai telinga untuk mendengar, tetapi tidak mendengar; sebab mereka adalah kaum pemberontak. Yehezkiel 12:1, 2.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Ke gone ka moo ke buang le bona ka ditshwantshiso; ka gobane ge ba bona ga ba bone; gomme ge ba ekwa ga ba kwe, le gona ga ba kwešiše. Gomme go bona go phethagala boporofeta bja Esaya bjo bo rego: Ka go kwa le tla kwa, eupša le ka se kwešiše; gomme ka go bona le tla bona, eupša le ka se lemoge.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Matthew 13:13–17.
Tetapi berbahagialah matamu, karena matamu melihat; dan telingamu, karena telingamu mendengar. Karena sesungguhnya Aku berkata kepadamu: banyak nabi dan orang benar telah rindu melihat apa yang kamu lihat, tetapi tidak melihatnya; dan mendengar apa yang kamu dengar, tetapi tidak mendengarnya. Matius 13:13–17.
The Old Paths
Litsela Tsa Kgale
Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. Jeremiah 6:16, 17.
Tusin i Bikpela i tok, “Sanap long ol rot, na lukluk, na askim long ol rot bilong bipo, we gutpela rot i stap long en, na wokabaut long en, na bai yupela i painim malolo bilong ol sol bilong yupela.” Tasol ol i tok, “Mipela bai no wokabaut long en.” Na tu mi putim ol wasman antap long yupela, na mi tok, “Harim krai bilong biugel.” Tasol ol i tok, “Mipela bai no harim.” Jeremiah 6:16, 17.
The Message of 1840–1844
Pesan 1840–1844
“All the messages given from 1840–1844 are to be made forcible now, for there are many people who have lost their bearings. The messages are to go to all the churches.
“1840–1844 оны хооронд өгөгдсөн бүх мэдээг одоо хүчтэйгээр тунхаглах ёстой, учир нь чиг баримжаагаа алдсан олон хүн байна. Эдгээр мэдээ бүх сүмүүдэд хүрэх ёстой.”
“Christ said, ‘Blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them’ [Matthew 13:16, 17]. Blessed are the eyes which saw the things that were seen in 1843 and 1844.
“Kristus ngajari, ‘Rahayu mripatmu, awit padha ndeleng; lan kupingmu, awit padha krungu. Satemene Aku pitutur marang kowe, manawa akeh nabi lan wong mursid padha kepéngin ndeleng samubarang kang kokdeleng, nanging ora padha ndeleng; lan krungu samubarang kang kokrungu, nanging ora padha krungu’ [Matius 13:16, 17]. Rahayu mripat kang ndeleng samubarang kang katon ing taun 1843 lan 1844.
“The message was given. And there should be no delay in repeating the message, for the signs of the times are fulfilling; the closing work must be done. A great work will be done in a short time. A message will soon be given by God’s appointment that will swell into a loud cry. Then Daniel will stand in his lot, to give his testimony.” Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 437.
“Sandes itu telah diberikan. Dan janganlah ada penangguhan dalam mengulangi sandes itu, karena tanda-tanda zaman sedang digenapi; pekerjaan penutupan harus diselesaikan. Suatu pekerjaan besar akan dilakukan dalam waktu yang singkat. Suatu sandes akan segera diberikan oleh penetapan Allah yang akan membesar menjadi seruan nyaring. Kemudian Daniel akan berdiri pada bagiannya, untuk memberikan kesaksiannya.” Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 437.
The Sign of the Siege
Taandak ti Pannakasilpo
There is five times in the book of Ezekiel where he ‘acted out’ a parable that the people refused to see, and also five times he ‘spoke’ with those people, who refused to hear. The two witnesses of the acted parable and the speaking were presented to the five foolish virgins. One of the acted parables, located in chapter four represents the “sign” of the siege, that warns of the coming destruction. The message of Ezekiel is the message to Laodicea.
Ingencwajana kaHezekeli kunokuphindaphindwa izikhathi eziyisihlanu lapho “elingisa” umfanekiso abantu abenqaba ukuwubona, futhi kukhona nezikhathi eziyisihlanu lapho “akhuluma” nalabo bantu, bona abenqaba ukuzwa. Ofakazi ababili bokulingisa komfanekiso nokukhuluma banikezwa izintombi eziyiziphukuphuku ezinhlanu. Omunye wemifanekiso eyalingiswa, otholakala esahlukweni sesine, umele “isibonakaliso” sokuvinjezelwa, esixwayisa ngembubhiso ezayo. Umlayezo kaHezekeli ungumlayezo oya eLawodisiya.
The “sign” given for Laodicea is the ‘sign of the siege’, and the siege of the latter days is represented by several witnesses. The only sign given to the Jews of Christ’s day was the sign of Jonah, who represents an acted-out parable of three days in the belly of a whale.
“Tan” yang diberikan bagi Laodikia ialah ‘tan kepungan’, dan kepungan pada akhir zaman diwakili oleh beberapa saksi. Satu-satunya tan yang diberikan kepada orang Yahudi pada zaman Kristus ialah tan Yunus, yang melambangkan suatu perumpamaan yang diperagakan tentang tiga hari di dalam perut seekor ikan paus.
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Matthew 12:38–40.
Kemudian beberapa orang ahli Taurat dan orang Farisi menjawab, katanya, Guru, kami ingin melihat suatu tanda dari pada-Mu. Tetapi Ia menjawab dan berkata kepada mereka, Angkatan yang jahat dan tidak setia ini menuntut suatu tanda; tetapi kepadanya tidak akan diberikan tanda selain tanda nabi Yunus. Sebab seperti Yunus tinggal di dalam perut ikan besar tiga hari dan tiga malam, demikian juga Anak Manusia akan tinggal di dalam rahim bumi tiga hari dan tiga malam. Matius 12:38–40.
The Sign of Jonah
Tanda Jona
The sign of Jonah was an acted-out parable of a resurrection from death. John represents the same truth, for he was cast into a boiling pot of oil, and came out alive. Daniel in the lion’s den and the three worthies in the furnace of Nebuchadnezzar represent a resurrection from death. All represent the one hundred and forty-four thousand who are resurrected in Revelation chapter eleven.
Tandha Yunus kuwi pralambang kang dipagelaraké tumindak bab wunguné manèh saka pati. Yokanan nggambarake bebener kang padha, awit dhèwèké kacemplungaké menyang panci lenga kang nggodhok, lan metu isih urip. Dhanièl ana ing guwa singa lan telu wong utama ana ing pawon geni kagungané Nebukadnésar padha nggambarake wunguné manèh saka pati. Kabèh mau nggambarake wong satus patang puluh papat èwu kang diwungokaké manèh ing Wahyu pasal sewelas.
“The thoughts of the Saviour now returned from contemplating the past and future. While the people were endeavoring to explain what they had seen and heard according to the impressions made upon their minds, and according to the light they possessed, ‘Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.’ It was the crowning evidence of his Messiahship, the signal of the Father that Jesus had uttered the truth, and was the Son of God. Would the Jews turn from this testimony of high Heaven? They had once asked the Saviour, What sign showest thou that we may see and believe? Innumerable signs had been given all through the ministry of Christ; yet they had closed their eyes and hardened their hearts lest they should be convinced. The crowning miracle of the resurrection of Lazarus did not remove their unbelief, but filled them with increased malice; and now that the Father had spoken, and they could ask for no further sign, their hearts were not softened and they still refused to believe.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 3, 79.
“Peložišlenja na Spasiteljot sega se vratija od sozercuvanje na minatoto i idninata. Dodeka narodot se obiduvaše da go objasni ona što go videl i čul spored vpečatocite što bile ostaveni vrz nivnite umovi, i spored svetlinata što ja poseduvaa, ‘Isus odgovori i reče: Ovoj glas ne dojde zaradi Mene, tuku zaradi vas.’ Toa beše vrvniot dokaz za Negovoto Mesijanstvo, znakot od Otecot deka Isus ja kažal vistinata i deka e Sin Božji. Ĵe se odvratea li Evreite od ova svedošvo na visokoto Nebo? Tie ednaš go bea prašale Spasitelot: Kakov znak pokažuvaš za da vidime i da poveruvame? Bezbrojni znaci bea dadeni vo tekot na celata Hristova služba; no tie gi bea zatvorile svoite oči i gi bea ožestokale svoite srca za da ne bidat uvereni. Vrvnoto čudo na voskresenieto na Lazar ne go otstrani nivnoto neverie, tuku gi ispolni so zgolemena zloba; i sega, koga Otecot progovori, i koga ne možea da pobaraat nikakov ponatamošen znak, nivnite srca ne omeknaa i tie sé ušte odbivaa da veruvaat.” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 3, 79.
Lazarus was the sign of the resurrection as acted out by Jonah in the belly of the whale. The voice of the Father in connection with the resurrected Lazarus represents the combination of Divinity and humanity, which is of course the nature of Christ, who took human flesh upon Himself. The combination of Divinity with humanity is the ensign of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and Lazarus is the sign of resurrection power which accomplishes the joining of Creator with creature.
Lazarus e be i saen bilong kirap bek, olsem Jona i bin soim long wok piksa taim em i stap insait long bel bilong bikfis. Nek bilong Papa long pasin i pas wantaim Lazarus husat i bin kirap bek i makim bung bilong God na man, em stret tasol i stap long pasin bilong Krais, husat i kisim skin bilong man long Em yet. Bung bilong God wantaim man em i banis mak bilong wan handret na foti-fo tausen, na Lazarus em i saen bilong pawa bilong kirap bek em i mekim na Krieta i pas wantaim ol samting Em i wokim.
“By the raising of Lazarus, many were led to believe in Jesus. It was God’s plan that Lazarus should die and be laid in the tomb before the Saviour should arrive. The raising of Lazarus was Christ’s crowning miracle, and because of it many glorified God.” Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 111.
„Чрез възкресяването на Лазар мнозина бяха доведени да повярват в Исус. Божият замисъл беше Лазар да умре и да бъде положен в гроба, преди Спасителят да пристигне. Възкресяването на Лазар беше върховното чудо на Христос и поради него мнозина прославиха Бога.“ Manuscript Releases, volume 21, 111.
Lazarus led the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and he was the living “sign” of the resurrection that is illustrated by Jonah.
Lazarus keenea pal·lee jersūlem lot puihna chu a hruai a, amah chu Jonah-a entîr thawhlehna nungcha “chhinchhiahna” a ni.
“Lazarus, whose body had seen corruption in the grave, but who now rejoiced in the strength of glorious manhood, led the beast on which the Saviour rode.” The Desire of Ages, 572.
“Lazarus, yang tubuhnya telah mengalami kebinasaan di dalam kubur, tetapi yang kini bersukacita dalam kekuatan kelelakian yang mulia, menuntun binatang yang ditunggangi oleh Juruselamat.” The Desire of Ages, 572.
The triumphal entry aligns with the Exeter camp meeting, which was the alpha fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins, and thus aligns the “sign” of Jonah and Lazarus with the omega and perfect fulfillment of the proclamation of the message, “Behold the Bridegroom cometh!”
பிரம்மாண்ட வெற்றிநுழைவு, பத்து கன்னியரின் உவமையின் ஆல்பா நிறைவேற்றமாக இருந்த எக்செட்டர் முகாமுக் கூட்டத்துடன் ஒத்துப்போகிறது; ஆகையால், “இதோ, மணமகன் வருகிறான்!” என்ற செய்தியின் அறிவிப்பின் ஓமெகாவும் பரிபூரண நிறைவேற்றமும் உடனும் யோனா மற்றும் லாசரு ஆகியோரின் “அடையாளத்தை” அது ஒத்திசைக்கிறது.
“I am often referred to the parable of the ten virgins, five of whom were wise, and five foolish. This parable has been and will be fulfilled to the very letter, for it has a special application to this time, and, like the third angel’s message, has been fulfilled and will continue to be present truth till the close of time.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.
“Ndzi tala ku kongomisiwa eka xifaniso xa vanhwana va khume, ntlhanu wa vona a va tlharihile, naswona ntlhanu a va ri swihunguki. Xifaniso lexi xi hetisekile naswona xi ta hetiseka hi ku landza rito rin’wana ni rin’wana, hikuva xi na ku tirha loku hlawulekeke eka nkarhi lowu, naswona, ku fana ni rungula ra ntsumi ya vunharhu, xi hetisekile naswona xi ta ya emahlweni xi va ntiyiso wa nkarhi wa sweswi ku fika emakumu ka nkarhi.” Review and Herald, August 19, 1890.
Jonah, Lazarus and Samuel Snow arriving late to the Exeter camp meeting align with Ezekiel’s “sign of the siege.” Lazarus led Christ into Jerusalem on an ass.
Yunus, Lazarus, dan Samuel Snow yang tiba lewat ke pertemuan kemah Exeter selaras dengan “tanda pengepungan” Yehezkiel. Lazarus memimpin Kristus masuk ke Yerusalem dengan menunggang seekor keledai.
“Bates was one of the important leaders in the Exeter (New Hampshire) camp meeting in August, 1844, when the ‘true midnight cry’ was first presented. Bates, it happened, was the preacher chosen for that morning’s service at the camp. He was exhorting his hearers to be faithful and calmly assuring them that God was simply testing them, that they were in the tarrying time, and similar sentiments, when Samuel S. Snow rode into the camp on horseback. Taking a seat beside his sister, Mrs. John Couch, Snow reiterated his conviction that Christ would appear at the time appointed. Greatly stirred, Mrs. Couch startled the audience by rising and declaring, ‘Here is a man with a message from God!’” Leroy Froom, The Prophetic Faith of our Fathers, volume 4, 549.
“Bates គឺជាម្នាក់ក្នុងចំណោមមេដឹកនាំសំខាន់ៗនៅក្នុងការប្រជុំជំរុំទីក្រុង Exeter (New Hampshire) នៅខែសីហា ឆ្នាំ 1844 នៅពេលដែល ‘សម្រែកកណ្ដាលអធ្រាត្រដ៏ពិត’ ត្រូវបានប្រកាសជាលើកដំបូង។ ដោយចៃដន្យ Bates គឺជាគ្រូអធិប្បាយដែលត្រូវបានជ្រើសរើសសម្រាប់ពិធីថ្វាយបង្គំពេលព្រឹកនៅជំរុំនោះ។ គាត់កំពុងទូន្មានអ្នកស្តាប់របស់គាត់ឲ្យស្មោះត្រង់ ហើយធានាពួកគេដោយស្ងប់ស្ងាត់ថា ព្រះគ្រាន់តែកំពុងល្បងលពួកគេប៉ុណ្ណោះ ថាពួកគេកំពុងស្ថិតនៅក្នុងពេលពន្យារនោះ និងគំនិតស្រដៀងគ្នាផ្សេងទៀត នៅពេលដែល Samuel S.

In April, 1521 Martin Luther travelled in a horse drawn wagon to the Diet of Worms, where he rejected papal traditions and customs and stated, “Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason… I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen.”
Pada bulan April 1521, Martin Luther menempuh perjalanan dengan kereta kuda menuju Diet di Worms, di mana ia menolak tradisi dan adat kepausan serta menyatakan, “Kecuali aku diyakinkan oleh kesaksian Kitab Suci atau oleh alasan yang jelas… aku tidak dapat dan tidak akan menarik kembali apa pun, sebab bertindak melawan hati nurani bukanlah sesuatu yang aman maupun benar. Di sinilah aku berdiri. Aku tidak dapat berbuat lain. Kiranya Allah menolong aku. Amin.”
As the Pharisees opposed Christ’s triumphal entry, the papal authorities opposed Luther’s entry. Luther then changed his name (a symbol of the sealing) and was hidden away while he translated the New Testament into the German language. His presentation at the Diet of Worms typified the Midnight Cry which led to the death decree from the church state authorities of the time, thus typifying the Sunday law. After ten months in hiding under the name of ‘Junker Jörg’ the threat from authorities had changed, largely to two military problems faced by the corrupt Charles V. Those two military threats were France and Islam, representing the same unholy alliance of socialism and Islam that today is confronting mankind.

“The work of God in the earth presents, from age to age, a striking similarity in every great reformation or religious movement. The principles of God’s dealing with men are ever the same. The important movements of the present have their parallel in those of the past, and the experience of the church in former ages has lessons of great value for our own time.” The Great Controversy, 343.
“Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni ubonakalisa, kusukela esikhathini kuya kwesinye, ukufana okumangalisayo kuzo zonke izinguquko ezinkulu noma ukunyakaza kwenkolo. Izimiso zendlela uNkulunkulu asebenzelana ngayo nabantu zihlala zifana ngaso sonke isikhathi.

An ass led by Lazarus brought Christ into Jerusalem, a horse drawn carriage brought Luther to the Diet of Worms, and a horse brought Snow to the Exeter camp meeting, thus identifying the ass, and horse, both members of the “Equidae” family in the genus “Equus,” as the sign of the message of the Midnight Cry.
Keldai, ko Lazar gbe Kristus wọ Jerusalemu, kẹkẹ ẹṣin ni o gbe Luther lọ sí Diet of Worms, ẹṣin náà sì ni o gbe Snow lọ sí ìpàdé ibùdó Exeter; báyìí ni a ṣe fi mọ́ kedere pé kẹtẹkẹtẹ àti ẹṣin, tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ ẹgbẹ́ méjèèjì nínú ìdílé “Equidae” lábẹ́ ẹ̀yà “Equus,” ni wọ́n jẹ́ àmì ìránṣẹ́ ìhìn iṣẹ́ Igbe Àárín Òru.
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. Zechariah 9:9.
Bergembiralah dengan sangat, hai puteri Sion; bersoraklah, hai puteri Yerusalem: lihatlah, Rajamu datang kepadamu: Ia adil dan membawa keselamatan; lemah lembut, dan menunggang seekor keledai, bahkan seekor anak keledai, anak dari keledai betina. Zakharia 9:9.
The sign of the Midnight Cry message is the arrival of the ass or horse, both symbols of Islam. The chosen messenger of the true message of the midnight cry arrived upon a horse in alignment with Christ arriving on an ass. The “siege” in the latter days is marked by the fulfillment of Ellen White’s identification that the city of Nashville is to be struck by “fireballs.”
Chiratidzo chemharidzo yeKudanidzira kwePakati pousiku ndiko kusvika kwembongoro kana bhiza, zvose zviri zvivimbo zveIslamu. Mutumwa akasarudzwa wemharidzo yechokwadi yekudanidzira kwepakati pousiku akasvika akatasva bhiza, zvichienderana naKristu akasvika akatasva mbongoro. “Kukombwa” kwamazuva okupedzisira kunoratidzirwa nokuzadzikiswa kwekuzivisa kwaEllen White kuti guta reNashville rinofanira kurohwa ne“mabhora omoto.”
Why does the siege begin at the fireballs of Nashville? Is it because Islam is represented by the ass and the horse in God’s prophetic Word?
ਹਮਲਾ ਨੈਸ਼ਵਿਲ ਦੇ ਅੱਗ ਦੇ ਗੋਲਿਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਹੀ ਕਿਉਂ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ? ਕੀ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਕਿ ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਦੇ ਭਵਿੱਖਬਾਣੀ ਵਾਲੇ ਬਚਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਸਲਾਮ ਦੀ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਕਾਤਮਕ ਨੁਮਾਇੰਦਗੀ ਗਧੇ ਅਤੇ ਘੋੜੇ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਕੀਤੀ ਗਈ ਹੈ?
Smyrna
ស្ម៊ីរណា
The Emperor Nero marks the beginning of the church of Smyrna when the city of Rome was burned in the year 64. The date marks the beginning of the persecution of the Christian church accomplished over a two hundred and fifty year period that concluded at the Edict of Milan in the year 313. The formation of the image of the beast represents the alpha waymark that introduces a period that ends with an omega waymark represented by the mark of the beast at the soon-coming Sunday law. The period is identified as beginning with “edicts.”

“If the reader would understand the agencies to be employed in the soon-coming contest, he has but to trace the record of the means which Rome employed for the same object in ages past. If he would know how papists and Protestants united will deal with those who reject their dogmas, let him see the spirit which Rome manifested toward the Sabbath and its defenders.

“Royal edicts, general councils, and church ordinances sustained by secular power were the steps by which the pagan festival attained its position of honor in the Christian world. The first public measure enforcing Sunday observance was the law enacted by Constantine. (A.D. 321; see Appendix note for page 53.) This edict required townspeople to rest on ‘the venerable day of the sun,’ but permitted countrymen to continue their agricultural pursuits. Though virtually a heathen statute, it was enforced by the emperor after his nominal acceptance of Christianity.” The Great Controversy, 574.
“Diraja amaun, kaunsel umum, enggau aturan gerija ti disukung kuasa sekular, nya meh jalai-langkah ke ngena nya pengawa gawai kapir nya bulih penuduk ti mulia dalam dunya Kristen. Ukur awam ti keterubah ti maksa pengamat Hari Minggu nya meh undang-undang ti digaga ulih Constantine. (A.D. 321; peda Appendix note for page 53.) Amaun nya ngasuh orang ti diau di nengeri nya belelak ba ‘hari matahari ti patut dibasa,’ tang ngemendarka orang kampung neruska pengawa tani sida. Taja pen, ba pengamat iya meh undang-undang kapir, tang iya dikuatkuasa ulih emperor nya sapengudah iya nerima pengakuan Kristen semina.” The Great Controversy, 574.
The first royal edict that marked a transition from the church of Smyrna to the church of Pergamos was the Edict of Milan in 313. It represented the first step which led to the first Sunday law of 321. The destruction of Jerusalem typifies the Sunday law, and two prophetic witnesses identify a siege that preceded the destruction. Those two sieges represented by Babylon’s third siege in 587 BC and Rome’s second siege in the year 70 identify that the waymark that precedes the waymark of the Sunday law—is a prophetic siege.
令教會由士每拿轉變為別迦摩的第一道王室敕令,乃是主後313年的《米蘭詔令》。它代表了那引向主後321年第一道星期日法令的第一步。耶路撒冷的毀滅乃是星期日法令的預表,而有兩個先知性的見證指出,在那毀滅之前曾有一次圍困。這兩次圍困,亦即由巴比倫在主前587年的第三次圍困,以及羅馬在主後70年的第二次圍困所代表的圍困,表明那在星期日法令之路標之前的路標——乃是一場先知性的圍困。
Nebuchadnezzar laid siege against Jehoiakim, then Jehoiachin and finally Zedekiah. Cestius laid siege in the year 66, and fulfilled the sign Jesus had given the church, just as the third siege of 587 BC possessed the sign of Ezekiel’s wife’s death. The waymark that precedes the destruction of Jerusalem is a siege, and it is also a “sign.” The waymark that preceded the Sunday law of 321 was the Edict of Milan, where the transition from a church (Smyrna) that has no condemnation into Pergamos, the symbol of a compromised church.
Nebukadnezar duam Siege pen Jehoiakim, hnu Jehoiachin leh a hnuhnung berah Zedekiah chungah. Cestius chu kum 66-ah siege a duam a, Isuan kohhran hnêna a pêk tûr hriatna chu a tihhlawhtlin, ang bawkin BC 587-a siege vawi thumna khân Ezekiela nupui thi tawh thu hriatna a nei bawk. Jerusalem tihchhiat hmaia waymark chu siege a ni a, chu chu “hriatna” pawh a ni bawk. Sunday law 321 hmaia lo kal waymark chu Edict of Milan a ni a, chutah chuan chhîkhatna nei lo kohhran (Smyrna) aṭanga Pergamos-ah, a inrem tawh kohhran entîrtu atâna inthlakna a awm.
The Edict of Milan is therefore the beginning of a prophetic siege, and it is also a sign. It also marks where the Laodicean movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand transitions unto the Philadelphian movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
O taiktiknaipuihna ah Milan thupeh cu simcianak ih kulhnak bulhram a si, cun hminsinnak khal a si. Cumi cun sangkhatli sangli le pali, nuamngaih lawnglawng mi Laodicea cawlcanghnak in sangkhatli sangli le pali, Philadelphia cawlcanghnak ah a thlengnak hmun khal a langter.
Philadelphia and Smyrna, represent the only two churches in Revelation’s seven churches which have no condemnation. This fact in turn identifies that transition, as the transition of the church militant unto the church triumphant. That transition aligns with the Edict of Milan, where the latter-day movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand becomes that eighth church, that is of the seven. Philadelphia and Smyrna are also the only two churches that struggle with those who claim they are Jews, but are actually of the synagogue of Satan.
Филаделфија и Смирна ги претставуваат единствените две цркви меѓу седумте цркви во Откровението кои немаат никаква осуда. Овој факт, пак, укажува на тој премин како на преминот од воинствената црква кон победоносната црква. Тој премин се совпаѓа со Миланскиот едикт, каде што движењето на последните денови на сто и четириесет и четирите илјади станува таа осма црква, која е од седумте. Филаделфија и Смирна се, исто така, единствените две цркви што се борат со оние кои тврдат дека се Евреи, а всушност се од синагогата на сатаната.
That waymark of 313 also aligns with the Exeter camp meeting from August 12 to 17 in 1844. When the camp meeting ended, the message swept across the eastern seaboard of the United States like a tidal wave until the door closed on October 22, 1844.
Letšoao leo la 313 le boetse le lumellana le kopano ea liahelo ea Exeter ho tloha ka la 12 ho isa ho la 17 Phato ka 1844. Ha kopano eo ea liahelo e fela, molaetsa o ile oa phallela lebōpong le ka bochabela la United States joaloka leqhubu le leholo la leoatle ho fihlela monyako o koaloa ka la 22 Mphalane, 1844.
“Like a tidal wave the movement swept over the land. From city to city, from village to village, and into remote country places it went, until the waiting people of God were fully aroused. Fanaticism disappeared before this proclamation like early frost before the rising sun. Believers saw their doubt and perplexity removed, and hope and courage animated their hearts. The work was free from those extremes which are ever manifested when there is human excitement without the controlling influence of the word and Spirit of God. It was similar in character to those seasons of humiliation and returning unto the Lord which among ancient Israel followed messages of reproof from His servants. It bore the characteristics that mark the work of God in every age. There was little ecstatic joy, but rather deep searching of heart, confession of sin, and forsaking of the world. A preparation to meet the Lord was the burden of agonizing spirits. There was persevering prayer and unreserved consecration to God.” The Great Controversy, 400, 401.
“Yaamiko ye noŋgoka nam ni, maŋgura ni maŋgura la ne, jam teŋ nɔnnɔl ni, ni baaŋ-baaŋ la ne, ni kpo kɔrɔkɔrɔ gɔrɔbɔrɔ teŋ la ne, kɛ nyii ŋunɔm ni Baŋa la saa yuurɔɔ.

The door closing on October 22, 1844 typifies the soon-coming Sunday law, and the waymark that preceded the closed door of October 22, was the Exeter camp meeting. The Exeter camp meeting therefore aligns with the Edict of Milan. It also aligns with Christ’s triumphal entry.
ꞌAṋɔ ŋusɔm yi si October 22, 1844 no, ka Sunday mmara a ɛreba ntɛm no ho mfonini; na adeyɛhyɛbea a edi kan maa October 22 mu ꞌaṋɔ no yɛ Exeter gua so nhyiam. Enti Exeter gua so nhyiam no ne Milan Mmarahyɛhyɛ no hyia. Saa ara na ɛne Kristo nkwagye mu ahenni muhyɛ no hyia.
“The midnight cry was not so much carried by argument, though the Scripture proof was clear and conclusive. There went with it an impelling power that moved the soul. There was no doubt, no questioning. Upon the occasion of Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the people who were assembled from all parts of the land to keep the feast, flocked to the Mount of Olives, and as they joined the throng that were escorting Jesus, they caught the inspiration of the hour, and helped to swell the shout, ‘Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!’ [Matthew 21:9.] In like manner did unbelievers who flocked to the Adventist meetings—some from curiosity, some merely to ridicule—feel the convincing power attending the message, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom cometh!’” Spirit of Prophecy, volume 4, 250.
“Tangis tengah malam itu tidak begitu disampaikan melalui hujah, walaupun bukti Kitab Suci adalah jelas dan meyakinkan. Bersamanya hadir suatu kuasa yang mendesak, yang menggerakkan jiwa. Tiada keraguan, tiada persoalan. Pada peristiwa kemasukan Kristus secara kemenangan ke Yerusalem, orang ramai yang telah berhimpun dari seluruh pelosok negeri untuk merayakan perayaan itu, berduyun-duyun ke Bukit Zaitun, dan apabila mereka menyertai rombongan yang mengiringi Yesus, mereka turut merasakan ilham saat itu, lalu membantu menggemakan seruan, ‘Diberkatilah Dia yang datang dalam nama Tuhan!’ [Matthew 21:9.] Demikian juga halnya dengan orang-orang yang tidak percaya yang datang beramai-ramai ke perhimpunan Advent—sebahagiannya kerana rasa ingin tahu, sebahagiannya semata-mata untuk mengejek—mereka merasakan kuasa yang meyakinkan yang menyertai pekhabaran itu, ‘Lihatlah, Mempelai datang!’” Spirit of Prophecy, jilid 4, 250.
The Edict of Milan marks the prophetic siege that was typified by Nebuchadnezzar in 587 BC and Cestius in the year 66. Those two sieges led to the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC and 70, respectively. The siege of Cestius ended and three and a half years later, the siege resumed under Titus, thus providing a prophetic period that begins with an alpha Roman ruler and ends with an omega ruler. Those three and a half years represent the trampling down of Jerusalem by the papacy, and the soon-coming Sunday law when the papacy’s deadly wound is healed and she reigns again for three and a half symbolic years.
Taelo ya Milan e supa ka sesupo sa boporofeta go dikaganyo tse di neng di tshwantshiwa ke Nebukatenesara ka 587 BC le Cestius ka ngwaga wa 66.

But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. Revelation 11:2.
Сүмийн гаднах хашааг орхиж, түүнийг бүү хэмж; учир нь тэр нь харь үндэстнүүдэд өгөгдсөн. Тэд ариун хотыг дөчин хоёр сарын турш хөл дороо гишгэлэх болно. Илчлэл 11:2
In 538, and then again at the coming Sunday law the trampling down of Jerusalem begins. Those two Sunday laws were represented by the year 321 when Constantine the Great passed the first Sunday law. In 538, the papacy was empowered to persecute (trample down) God’s church for three and a half years, as represented by the history from Cestius to Titus. In 538, the papacy passed a Sunday law at the third Counsel of Orleans. The soon-coming Sunday law identifies when the papacy is again empowered to trample down the temple (persecute).
Pada tahun 538, dan kemudian sekali lagi pada waktu undang-undang Ahad yang akan datang, pemijakan ke bawah Yerusalem bermula. Kedua-dua undang-undang Ahad itu dilambangkan oleh tahun 321, apabila Constantine the Great menggubal undang-undang Ahad yang pertama. Pada tahun 538, kepausan diberi kuasa untuk menganiaya (memijak ke bawah) gereja Tuhan selama tiga tahun setengah, sebagaimana dilambangkan oleh sejarah dari Cestius hingga Titus. Pada tahun 538, kepausan menggubal suatu undang-undang Ahad pada Majlis Orleans yang ketiga. Undang-undang Ahad yang akan segera datang itu mengenal pasti bilakah kepausan sekali lagi diberi kuasa untuk memijak ke bawah bait suci (menganiaya).
313 identifies the first edict that led to the first Sunday law in 321. Then in 330, the empire was prophetically divided into east and west, thus marking the omega conclusion of the second period of papal persecution of “forty-two” symbolic months—a period of persecution and trampling down that began at the alpha Sunday law in the United States.

And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:9–12.
Dan malaikat yang ketiga mengikuti mereka, sambil berkata dengan suara nyaring, Jika seseorang menyembah binatang itu dan patungnya, serta menerima tandanya pada dahinya, atau pada tangannya, orang itu akan minum dari anggur murka Allah, yang dicurahkan tanpa campuran ke dalam cawan kemurkaan-Nya; dan ia akan disiksa dengan api dan belerang di hadapan malaikat-malaikat kudus, dan di hadapan Anak Domba itu: Dan asap siksaan mereka naik sampai selama-lamanya: dan mereka tidak mendapat perhentian siang atau malam, yaitu mereka yang menyembah binatang itu dan patungnya, dan siapa pun yang menerima tanda namanya. Di sinilah kesabaran orang-orang kudus: di sinilah mereka yang menuruti perintah-perintah Allah, dan iman kepada Yesus. Wahyu 14:9–12.
The Plain
Lefelo
The Latin meaning of ‘Milan’ means the middle of the plain. In the middle of east and west, in the year 313 Constantine of the west sought an alliance with Licinius of the east. The edict represented the attempt to bring east and west together, and the edict was ratified, by a treaty marriage, when Constantine’s half-sister Constantia married Licinius. Yet just as the first treaty marriage of Daniel eleven between the Seleucids of the north and Ptolemy of the south, the marriage was destined to fail as the old adage was fulfilled that says ‘east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet.’
Maksud Latin bagi ‘Milan’ ialah tengah dataran. Di tengah antara timur dan barat, pada tahun 313 Konstantinus dari barat mencari suatu persekutuan dengan Licinius dari timur. Edik itu melambangkan percubaan untuk menyatukan timur dan barat, dan edik itu disahkan melalui suatu perkahwinan perjanjian, apabila saudara perempuan seibu Konstantinus, Constantia, berkahwin dengan Licinius. Namun demikian, sebagaimana perkahwinan perjanjian yang pertama dalam Daniel sebelas antara golongan Seleukid dari utara dan Ptolemy dari selatan, perkahwinan itu telah ditentukan untuk gagal, sebagaimana pepatah lama digenapi yang mengatakan, ‘timur tetap timur, dan barat tetap barat, dan kedua-duanya tidak akan pernah bertemu.’
The year ‘330’ is directly presented in Daniel eleven verses twenty-four, twenty-seven and twenty-nine. This brings the seventeen years of 313 unto 330 into the prophetic line of Daniel eleven, and of prophetic necessity it identifies that treaty marriage of east and west in 313 as a parallel to the first treaty marriage in the same chapter.
Tahun ‘330’ dinyatakeun langsung dina Daniel pasal sabelas ayat dua puluh opat, dua puluh tujuh, jeung dua puluh salapan. Ieu mawa tujuh belas taun ti 313 nepi ka 330 kana garis nubuat Daniel pasal sabelas, sarta ku kabutuhan nubuat éta nikah pajangjian antara wetan jeung kulon dina taun 313 diidéntifikasi minangka sajajar jeung nikah pajangjian anu kahiji dina pasal anu sarua.
“The prophecy in the eleventh of Daniel has nearly reached its complete fulfillment. Much of the history that has taken place in fulfillment of this prophecy will be repeated.” Manuscript Releases, number 13, 394.
“Boprofeta jo bo mo go Daniele kgaolo ya lesome le motso bo setse bo batlile bo fitlheletse tiragalo ya jone ka botlalo. Bontsi jwa hisetori jo bo diragetseng e le go diragadiwa ga boprofeta jono bo tla boelediwa.” Manuscript Releases, nomoro 13, 394.
Antiochus II Theos who reigned from 261–246 BC, set aside his first wife Laodice I for Berenice, daughter of Ptolemy II Philadelphus of Egypt. The marriage was part of the peace settlement that ended the Second Syrian War in 252 BC. When Constantine thereafter defeated Licinius in 324 the marriage ended, as did the marriage of Antiochus and Bernice, when Laodice, the first wife poisoned Antiochus in 246 BC. The marriage which had marked the end of the second Syrian war, and the murder of Antiochus, and thereafter Bernice, her child and Egyptian entourage marked the beginning of the third Syrian war. The treaty marriage of 313 ended the period of persecution represented by the church of Smyrna and began the period of compromise represented by the church of Pergamos.

The marriage at the beginning of the Seleucid history typified the treaty marriage at the end of the Seleucid empire when Antiochus the Great gave his daughter Cleopatra I to Ptolemy V Epiphanes. The marriage took place at Raphia in 193 BC, but the alliance was soon finished, as had been the first treaty marriage between the king of the north and king of the south. The alpha and omega treaty marriages of the Seleucid empire, typify the treaty marriage noted later in the prophetic history of Daniel eleven when Octavian gave his sister Octavia Minor to Mark Antony in 40 BC. Mark Antony and Octavian were in a power struggle over the eastern and western areas of Rome that had broken out in 44 BC with the assassination of Julius Caesar. The treaty of Brundisium was put in place at the marriage in 40 BC, and eight years later in 32 BC Mark Antony formerly divorced Octavia and precipitated the battle of Actium in 31 BC where both Mark Antony and Cleopatra, (the very last Cleopatra) came to the end.
Perkahwinan pada permulaan sejarah Seleucid melambangkan perkahwinan perjanjian pada penghujung empayar Seleucid apabila Antiochus Agung memberikan puterinya, Cleopatra I, kepada Ptolemy V Epiphanes. Perkahwinan itu berlangsung di Raphia pada tahun 193 SM, tetapi persekutuan itu segera berakhir, sebagaimana perkahwinan perjanjian yang pertama antara raja utara dan raja selatan telah berakhir. Perkahwinan-perkahwinan perjanjian alfa dan omega bagi empayar Seleucid melambangkan perkahwinan perjanjian yang dicatat kemudian dalam sejarah nubuatan Daniel sebelas apabila Octavian memberikan saudara perempuannya, Octavia Minor, kepada Mark Antony pada tahun 40 SM. Mark Antony dan Octavian sedang bergumul dalam perebutan kuasa atas wilayah timur dan barat Rom yang telah tercetus pada tahun 44 SM dengan pembunuhan Julius Caesar. Perjanjian Brundisium telah dimeteraikan pada perkahwinan itu pada tahun 40 SM, dan lapan tahun kemudian, pada tahun 32 SM, Mark Antony secara rasmi menceraikan Octavia lalu mencetuskan pertempuran Actium pada tahun 31 SM, di mana kedua-dua Mark Antony dan Cleopatra, (Cleopatra yang terakhir sekali) sampai kepada kesudahan mereka.
The omega marriage treaty of the Seleucid empire introduced the first Cleopatra who typified the last Cleopatra, whose line of descent formed the link to the prophetic alpha marriage treaty of the Roman empire in 40 BC. Those three treaty marriages typify the treaty marriage of the Edict of Milan. The Edict of Milan marks the beginning of a prophetic siege, it represents a prophetic sign, it marks a transition of a righteous church to an unrighteous church, thus aligning with the enigma of the eighth being of the seven. It marks a treaty marriage that ends a war, until the divorce of the treaty marriage thus marking the beginning of a war. In the two Roman marriages, the divorce precipitates the uniting of the empire. 313 also marks the Exeter camp meeting where the proclamation of the message of the Midnight Cry begins and leads to the closed door of October 22.
Perjanjian pernikahan omega dari kekaisaran Seleukia memperkenalkan Kleopatra yang pertama, yang melambangkan Kleopatra yang terakhir, yang garis keturunannya membentuk kaitan kepada perjanjian pernikahan alfa yang bersifat nubuatan dari kekaisaran Romawi pada tahun 40 SM. Ketiga pernikahan perjanjian itu melambangkan pernikahan perjanjian dari Edik Milan. Edik Milan menandai permulaan suatu pengepungan yang bersifat nubuatan, itu melambangkan suatu tanda nubuatan, itu menandai suatu peralihan dari gereja yang benar kepada gereja yang tidak benar, dengan demikian selaras dengan teka-teki tentang yang kedelapan yang berasal dari ketujuh. Itu menandai suatu pernikahan perjanjian yang mengakhiri suatu perang, sampai perceraian dari pernikahan perjanjian itu, sehingga menandai permulaan suatu perang. Dalam kedua pernikahan Romawi itu, perceraian tersebut memicu penyatuan kekaisaran. Tahun 313 juga menandai perkemahan Exeter, tempat pekabaran pesan Seruan Tengah Malam dimulai dan mengarah kepada pintu yang tertutup pada 22 Oktober.
We will continue to consider these truths in the next article.
