“By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near.
“Ka ta ai dingin papacy a siam a, Pathian dan kalh in a tharh lehna thupek avangin, kan hnam hian felna nen a inthlahdah vek ang. Protestantism-in kut a thleng a, Roman thuneihna kut chu a man dawn a; hmun thuk ralmuanna chung lamah kut a thleng a, spiritualism nen kut a inhrang dawn a; he inzawmna pathum nei hian a thununna hnuaiah, kan ram hian a Constitution-a principle zawng zawng, Protestant leh republican sawrkar a nihna thu bulpui zawng zawng a hnawl a, papal thudik lo leh bumna hriattirna tihdarhna atan remruatna a siam angin, chutih hunah chuan Setana thilmak taka thawhna hun a lo thleng tawh a ni tih kan hre thei ang a, tawpna chu a hnaih tawh tih kan hre bawk ang.”
“As the approach of the Roman armies was a sign to the disciples of the impending destruction of Jerusalem, so may this apostasy be a sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return. The people of God will then be plunged into those scenes of affliction and distress which prophets have described as the time of Jacob’s trouble. The cries of the faithful, persecuted ones ascend to heaven. And as the blood of Abel cried from the ground, there are voices also crying to God from martyrs’ graves, from the sepulchers of the sea, from mountain caverns, from convent vaults: ‘How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?’
“Sebagaimana pendekatan bala tentera Rom menjadi suatu tanda bagi murid-murid tentang kebinasaan Yerusalem yang hampir tiba, demikian juga kemurtadan ini boleh menjadi suatu tanda bagi kita bahawa batas kesabaran Allah telah tercapai, bahawa ukuran kefasikan bangsa kita telah penuh, dan bahawa malaikat belas kasihan hampir mengembangkan sayapnya untuk pergi, dan tidak akan kembali lagi. Umat Allah kemudian akan dicampakkan ke dalam adegan-adegan penderitaan dan kesesakan yang telah digambarkan oleh para nabi sebagai masa kesusahan Yakub. Seruan orang-orang setia yang teraniaya naik ke syurga. Dan sebagaimana darah Habel berseru dari tanah, demikian juga ada suara-suara yang berseru kepada Allah dari kubur para martir, dari pusara-pusara di laut, dari gua-gua gunung, dari ruang bawah tanah biara: ‘Berapa lama lagi, ya Tuhan, yang kudus dan benar, Engkau tidak menghakimi dan membalaskan darah kami atas mereka yang diam di bumi?’”
“The Lord is doing His work. All heaven is astir. The Judge of all the earth is soon to arise and vindicate His insulted authority. The mark of deliverance will be set upon the men who keep God’s commandments, who revere His law, and who refuse the mark of the beast or of his image.
“Tuhan sedang melakukan pekerjaan-Nya. Seluruh surga bergelora. Hakim seluruh bumi itu segera akan bangkit dan menegakkan otoritas-Nya yang telah dihina. Tanda pembebasan akan dibubuhkan pada orang-orang yang menuruti perintah-perintah Allah, yang menghormati hukum-Nya, dan yang menolak tanda binatang itu maupun patungnya.
“God has revealed what is to take place in the last days, that His people may be prepared to stand against the tempest of opposition and wrath. Those who have been warned of the events before them are not to sit in calm expectation of the coming storm, comforting themselves that the Lord will shelter His faithful ones in the day of trouble. We are to be as men waiting for their Lord, not in idle expectancy, but in earnest work, with unwavering faith. It is no time now to allow our minds to be engrossed with things of minor importance. While men are sleeping, Satan is actively arranging matters so that the Lord’s people may not have mercy or justice. The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. It is our duty to do all in our power to avert the threatened danger. We should endeavor to disarm prejudice by placing ourselves in a proper light before the people. We should bring before them the real question at issue, thus interposing the most effectual protest against measures to restrict liberty of conscience. We should search the Scriptures and be able to give the reason for our faith. Says the prophet: ‘The wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.’” Testimonies, volume 5, 451, 452.
“Бурхан Өөрийн ард түмнийг эсэргүүцэл ба уур хилэнгийн шуурганы эсрэг зогсоход бэлтгэгдэхийн тулд эцсийн өдрүүдэд юу тохиолдохыг илчилсэн. Өмнө нь болох үйл явдлуудын талаар анхааруулга авсан хүмүүс ирэх шуургыг тайван хүлээн сууж, зовлонгийн өдөр Эзэн Өөрийн үнэнч хүмүүсийг халхална хэмээн өөрсдийгөө тайвшруулах ёсгүй. Бид Эзнээ хүлээж буй хүмүүсийн адил байх ёстой; хий дэмий хүлээлтээр бус, харин чин сэтгэлийн хөдөлмөрөөр, ганхашгүй итгэлтэйгээр. Одоо оюун санаагаа өчүүхэн ач холбогдолтой зүйлсэд автуулах цаг биш. Хүмүүс унтаж байх зуур Сатан Эзэний ард түмэнд өршөөл ч, шударга ёс ч хүрэхгүй байхаар нөхцөл байдлыг идэвхтэй зохицуулж байна. Ням гаргийн хөдөлгөөн одоо харанхуй дунд замаа гарган урагшилж байна. Удирдагчид жинхэнэ асуудлыг нуун далдалж байгаа бөгөөд энэ хөдөлгөөнд нэгдэж буй олон хүн өөрсдөө ч дотоод урсгал нь хаашаа чиглэж байгааг олж хардаггүй. Түүний мэдэгдлүүд зөөлөн бөгөөд өнгөц харахад Христийнх мэт боловч, ярьж эхлэхэд луугийн сүнсийг илчлэх болно. Аюул заналыг зайлуулахын тулд өөрсдийн хүч хүрэх бүхнийг хийх нь бидний үүрэг мөн. Бид ард түмний өмнө өөрсдийгөө зөв гэрэлд харуулснаар өрөөсгөл хандлагыг саармагжуулахыг чармайх ёстой. Ухамсрын эрх чөлөөг хязгаарлах арга хэмжээнүүдийн эсрэг хамгийн үр нөлөөтэй эсэргүүцлийг ийнхүү босгохын тулд бид маргааны жинхэнэ асуудлыг тэдний өмнө дэлгэн тавих ёстой. Бид Судруудыг нягтлан судалж, итгэлийнхээ учир шалтгааныг тайлбарлан өгч чаддаг байх ёстой. Эш үзүүлэгч ийнхүү хэлдэг: ‘Хорон муу хүмүүс хорон муугаа үйлдэх болно; хорон муу хүмүүсийн хэн нь ч ойлгохгүй; харин мэргэд ойлгоно.’ Гэрчлэлүүд, 5-р боть, 451, 452.”
When the “Sunday movement” “shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon.” The four paragraphs identify that at the Sunday law the United States “will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.” At the Sunday law “the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan.” At the Sunday law the threefold union is accomplished. At the Sunday law the United States “repudiates every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant republican government”, and they also “make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions.” That Sunday law is a “sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return.” That sign was typified by the warning given by Jesus identifying the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. It is there that the prayer given by the martyrs of the fifth seal ask, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” is accomplished. It is also at that waymark that the foolish and wise virgins manifest their characters.
Apo “Sunday movement” no “shall speak, it will reveal the spirit of the dragon.” Ka bynta saw ki pynithuh ba ha ka Sunday law ka United States “will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.” Ha ka Sunday law “the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan.” Ha ka Sunday law la pyndep ïa ka threefold union. Ha ka Sunday law ka United States “repudiates every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant republican government”, bad ruh ki “make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions.” Kata ka Sunday law ka long ka “sign to us that the limit of God’s forbearance is reached, that the measure of our nation’s iniquity is full, and that the angel of mercy is about to take her flight, never to return.” Ia kata ka dak la pynshisha da ka jingmaham kaba U Jisu u la ai, kaba pynithuh ïa ka abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the prophet. Hangta keiñ la pyndep ïa ka jingïoh jingkyrpad kaba la ai da ki martyrs jong ka fifth seal kiba kylli, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost Thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?” Ka long ruh ha kata ka waymark ba ki foolish bad wise virgins ki pynpaw ïa ki jingïadei jong ki.
At the Sunday law, the United States “repudiates every principle of its Constitution.” The period of time when this work was accomplished began with the Patriot Act in 2001. 2001 until the Sunday law represents a progressive work of repudiating the Constitution. That progressive work corresponds to the line of prophecy where the formation of the image of the beast is accomplished. The line of the image of the beast may appear a bit more complicated, but the complication is worth understanding. What complicates the line of the image of the beast is that it represents two lines.
Pada hukum Ahad, Amerika Syarikat “menyangkal setiap prinsip Perlembagaannya.” Tempoh masa ketika pekerjaan ini dilaksanakan bermula dengan Akta Patriot pada tahun 2001. Tahun 2001 hingga hukum Ahad melambangkan suatu pekerjaan progresif menyangkal Perlembagaan. Pekerjaan progresif itu bersesuaian dengan garis nubuatan di mana pembentukan patung binatang itu disempurnakan. Garis patung binatang itu mungkin kelihatan sedikit lebih rumit, namun kerumitan itu wajar difahami. Yang merumitkan garis patung binatang itu ialah bahawa ia mewakili dua garis.
For the earth beast the two lines are the horns of Republicanism and Protestantism. Those two horns come together into a church-state relationship and thus fulfill the formation of the image of the beast. The line of the formation of the image of the beast therefore has two lines within the one line, for the Republican and Protestant horns run parallel to one another through history, but their individual lines also have their own prophetic testimony to bear. One prophetic line, with two parallel subjects, is more complicated than simply marking the waymarks of political actions that represent the speaking associated with the Constitution.
Untuk binatang bumi, kedua garis itu ialah tanduk Republikanisme dan Protestanisme. Kedua tanduk itu bergabung ke dalam suatu hubungan gereja-negara dan dengan demikian menggenapi pembentukan patung binatang itu. Oleh sebab itu, garis pembentukan patung binatang itu memiliki dua garis di dalam satu garis, karena tanduk Republikan dan Protestan berjalan sejajar satu dengan yang lain sepanjang sejarah, namun masing-masing garisnya juga memiliki kesaksian nubuatan tersendiri untuk dinyatakan. Satu garis nubuatan, dengan dua pokok bahasan yang sejajar, adalah lebih rumit daripada sekadar menandai penunjuk-penunjuk jalan dari tindakan-tindakan politik yang melambangkan pembicaraan yang berkaitan dengan Konstitusi.
The two lines of Republican and Protestant horns is further complicated by the prophetic fact that within the Republican horn is the history of the struggle between proslavery Democrats, and antislavery Republicans; and further that within the Protestant horn there is a continual testing process that follows the wise and the foolish virgins within the history of the Protestant horn. Still, it is highly important to settle into these truths.
Dua garis tanduk Republikan dan Protestan itu semakin dipersulit oleh fakta kenabian bahwa di dalam tanduk Republikan terdapat sejarah pergumulan antara Demokrat pro-perbudakan dan Republikan anti-perbudakan; dan lebih lanjut lagi, bahwa di dalam tanduk Protestan terdapat suatu proses pengujian yang terus-menerus, yang mengikuti gadis-gadis bijaksana dan gadis-gadis bodoh di dalam sejarah tanduk Protestan. Namun demikian, sangatlah penting untuk berakar teguh dalam kebenaran-kebenaran ini.
Within the line represented by the earth beast’s two horns is the parallel illustration of either forming a character of Christ or a character of Satan, which equates to either forming an image of Christ or an image of the beast, for in this context the “beast” represents a created being in contrast with the Creator. The formation of these attributes is accomplished internally among all men, for when probation closes there are only two classes. The formation is also accomplished externally with the alliance between the papal power and the United Nations.
Di dalam garis yang dilambangkan oleh dua tanduk binatang bumi terdapat gambaran sejajar tentang pembentukan tabiat Kristus atau tabiat Setan, yang setara dengan pembentukan gambaran Kristus atau gambaran binatang itu, karena dalam konteks ini “binatang” melambangkan suatu makhluk ciptaan yang berlawanan dengan Sang Pencipta. Pembentukan sifat-sifat ini terlaksana secara internal di antara semua manusia, sebab ketika masa kasihan berakhir hanya ada dua golongan. Pembentukan itu juga terlaksana secara eksternal melalui persekutuan antara kuasa kepausan dan Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa.
So, the testing time for the formation of the image of the beast began in 2001, and it ends at the Sunday law in the United States. In that period of time the prophetic history of the earth beast’s two horns illustrates an internal and external controversy within their respective horns, whether it be religious or political, and also a struggle between the two horns themselves.
Oleh itu, masa ujian bagi pembentukan patung binatang itu bermula pada tahun 2001, dan berakhir pada hukum hari Minggu di Amerika Syarikat. Dalam jangka waktu itu, sejarah nubuatan tentang kedua-dua tanduk binatang bumi tersebut menggambarkan suatu pertikaian dalaman dan luaran dalam tanduk masing-masing, sama ada bersifat keagamaan mahupun politik, dan juga suatu pergumulan antara kedua-dua tanduk itu sendiri.
The Sunday law in the United States represents the warning to flee which Jesus identified as “the abomination of desolation.” The Sunday law in the United States is the conclusion of the period that began in 2001. The Patriot Act was the “abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel”, and identified by Jesus as a sign to flee from a coming destruction.
Undang-undang Ahad di Amerika Syarikat melambangkan amaran untuk melarikan diri yang dikenal pasti oleh Yesus sebagai “kekejian yang membinasakan.” Undang-undang Ahad di Amerika Syarikat ialah penutup bagi tempoh yang bermula pada tahun 2001. Akta Patriot ialah “kekejian yang membinasakan, yang telah difirmankan oleh Nabi Daniel”, dan dikenal pasti oleh Yesus sebagai suatu tanda untuk melarikan diri daripada kebinasaan yang akan datang.
The Patriot Act includes the prophetic light of 1888, and the Blair Bill. The Patriot Act then also prophetically contains the typification of the Sunday law, so the period from 2001 begins with a Sunday law as typified by 1888—Blair Bill, 2001—Patriot Act, and it ends with the Sunday law.
អំពើច្បាប់ Patriot រួមបញ្ចូលពន្លឺទំនាយនៃឆ្នាំ 1888 និង Blair Bill។ ដូច្នេះ អំពើច្បាប់ Patriot ក៏ផ្ទុកនូវការជាតំណាងទំនាយនៃច្បាប់ថ្ងៃអាទិត្យផងដែរ ដូច្នេះរយៈពេលចាប់ពីឆ្នាំ 2001 ចាប់ផ្ដើមដោយច្បាប់ថ្ងៃអាទិត្យមួយ ដូចដែលបានតំណាងជាមុនដោយ 1888—Blair Bill, 2001—Patriot Act ហើយវាបញ្ចប់ដោយច្បាប់ថ្ងៃអាទិត្យ។
The warning to flee the cities in 2001, typifies the warning to flee from Babylon at the Sunday law. The judgment brought upon the United States at the Sunday law typifies the judgment brought upon the entire world when Michael stands up and human probation closes. Christ’s signature as Alpha and Omega is repeatedly represented within the truths represented by the Blair Bill in 1888, and all that 1888 represents, repeating in 2001.
Tlhokomelo ya go tšhaba metse ka 2001 e swantšha tlhokomelo ya go tšhaba Babilona ka nako ya molao wa Lamorena. Kahlolo yeo e tlilego godimo ga United States ka nako ya molao wa Lamorena e swantšha kahlolo yeo e tlago godimo ga lefase ka moka ge Mikaele a ema gomme nako ya kgaugelo ya batho e tswalelwa. Mosaeno wa Kriste bjalo ka Alfa le Omega o emelwa gantši ka gare ga therešo tšeo di emelwago ke Molao wa Blair ka 1888, le tšohle tšeo 1888 e di emelago, di ipoeletša ka 2001.
2001, which was typified by 1888, represents not only the sign to flee as represented by the abomination of desolation, but it was also represented by 66 AD and the siege of Cestius. The siege of Titus in 70 AD represents the Sunday law in the United States. The Sunday law in the United States is represented by the year 321 and the first Sunday law of Constantine, and 538 represents when the last nation of the earth succumbs to the mark of the beast.
2001, yang dilambangkan oleh 1888, bukan sahaja mewakili tanda untuk melarikan diri sebagaimana digambarkan oleh kekejian yang membinasakan, tetapi juga dilambangkan oleh tahun 66 M dan pengepungan oleh Cestius. Pengepungan oleh Titus pada tahun 70 M melambangkan hukum Ahad di Amerika Syarikat. Hukum Ahad di Amerika Syarikat dilambangkan oleh tahun 321 dan hukum Ahad pertama Constantine, dan 538 melambangkan saat bangsa terakhir di bumi tunduk kepada tanda binatang itu.
2001 is 1888, Cestius and the year 66 AD. The Sunday law is Titus and the years 70 and 321. 2001 is also the baptism of Jesus, and His descent in Revelation chapter ten on August 11, 1840. All these symbols contribute to the line of the Constitution.
2001 ialah 1888, Cestius, dan tahun 66 M. Undang-undang Ahad ialah Titus dan tahun-tahun 70 dan 321. 2001 juga ialah pembaptisan Yesus, dan penurunan-Nya dalam Wahyu fasal sepuluh pada 11 Ogos 1840. Semua lambang ini menyumbang kepada garis Perlembagaan.
The prophetic history of the United States runs parallel to the history of Adventism. In 1798 the papacy received its deadly wound, and 1798 was the time of the end when the portion of the prophecies of Daniel that related to the history of the first and second angels of Revelation fourteen was unsealed. There in 1798, Adventism’s prophetic beginning is marked, and in 1798 the earth-beast with lamblike horns became the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy.
Embhiri ya uporofita ya United States i fambisana hi ku ringana ni embhiri ya Adventism. Hi 1798 vupapa byi amukele mbanga ya byona ya kufa, naswona 1798 a ku ri nkarhi wa makumu, loko xiavelo xa vuporofita bya Daniele lexi a xi fambelana ni embhiri ya ntsumi yo sungula ni ya vumbirhi ya Nhlavutelo 14 xi paluxiwile. Kwalaho hi 1798 ku funghiwile masungulo ya vuporofita ya Adventism, naswona hi 1798 xivandzana xa misava lexi nga ni timhondzo to fana ni ta xinyimpfana xi ve mfumo wa vutsevu wa vuporofita bya Bibele.
1798 was preceded by three prophetic waymarks associated with the line of the earth beast, and therefore with the speaking of the United States, and the Constitution of the United States. Those three waymarks were the Declaration of Independence, spoken in 1776, then the Constitution in 1789, and then the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.
1798 e ne e etetswe pele ke matshwao a mararo a boporofeta a amanang le mola wa sebata sa lefatshe, ka hona le ho bua ha United States, le Molaotheo wa United States. Matshwao ao a mararo e ne e le Phatlalatso ya Boipuso, e boletsweng ka 1776, mme ha latela Molaotheo ka 1789, mme hape ha latela Melao ya Bajaki le ya Borabele ya 1798.
Those three waymarks address the prophetic line of the Constitution and mark the beginning of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy. The Sunday law is the end of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy’s reign, and therefore there must be of prophetic necessity three waymarks that precede the end, as typified by the three waymarks that preceded the beginning.
Tanda jalan yang tiga itu membicarakan garis nubuatan Perlembagaan dan menandai permulaan kerajaan keenam dalam nubuatan Alkitab. Undang-undang Ahad ialah pengakhiran pemerintahan kerajaan keenam dalam nubuatan Alkitab, dan oleh itu, berdasarkan keperluan nubuatan, mestilah ada tiga tanda jalan yang mendahului pengakhiran itu, sebagaimana dilambangkan oleh tiga tanda jalan yang mendahului permulaannya.
In 2001, at the fall of the towers, the Patriot Act, is typified by the Blair Bill of 1888, along with the manifest rebellion of Adventism’s leadership at the Minneapolis General Conference. A rebellion which an angel told Sister White was typified by the rebellion against Moses by Korah, Dathan and Abiram is also typified by the baptism of Christ in 27 AD, the restraint of Islam on August 11, 1840 and the Declaration of Independence in 1776, as well as the “abomination of desolation, spoken by Daniel the prophet” as a sign to flee from the coming wrath, as represented by Cestius and 66 AD.
Pada tahun 2001, pada kejatuhan menara-menara itu, Patriot Act ditipologikan oleh Blair Bill tahun 1888, bersama-sama dengan pemberontakan yang nyata dari kepemimpinan Adventisme pada General Conference Minneapolis. Suatu pemberontakan yang seorang malaikat katakan kepada Sister White ditipologikan oleh pemberontakan terhadap Musa oleh Korah, Datan, dan Abiram, juga ditipologikan oleh baptisan Kristus pada tahun 27 M, pengekangan Islam pada 11 Agustus 1840, dan Declaration of Independence pada tahun 1776, demikian pula “pembinasa keji, yang disebut oleh nabi Daniel” sebagai suatu tanda untuk melarikan diri dari murka yang akan datang, sebagaimana dilambangkan oleh Cestius dan tahun 66 M.
If you can still remember that the line of prophecy we are now considering is the line of the Constitution of the United States, all of the aforementioned prophetic lines contribute to and establish the prophetic theme represented by the line of the Constitution. Yet the line which appears to be the most interconnected line is the line of the formation of the image of the beast. The image of the beast is an image of the papal beast, which is represented as a beast with a woman reigning over the beast, which is the combination of church and state with the church in control of the relationship. In order for the United States to form an image to the beast, apostate Protestantism must so control the government to the point where the government will pass and enforce religious statutes, and ultimately the Sunday law.
Sekiranya anda masih dapat mengingati bahawa garis nubuatan yang sedang kita pertimbangkan sekarang ialah garis Perlembagaan Amerika Syarikat, maka semua garis nubuatan yang disebutkan terdahulu menyumbang kepada dan menegakkan tema nubuatan yang diwakili oleh garis Perlembagaan itu. Namun demikian, garis yang tampaknya paling saling berkaitan ialah garis pembentukan patung binatang itu. Patung binatang itu ialah suatu gambaran bagi binatang kepausan, yang dilambangkan sebagai seekor binatang dengan seorang perempuan memerintah atas binatang itu, iaitu gabungan gereja dan negara dengan gereja menguasai hubungan tersebut. Agar Amerika Syarikat membentuk suatu patung bagi binatang itu, Protestantisme murtad mesti sedemikian menguasai kerajaan sehingga kerajaan akan meluluskan dan menguatkuasakan undang-undang keagamaan, dan akhirnya undang-undang hari Ahad.
As the process of forming the image of the beast is accomplished, the Constitution, written with a premier principle which Thomas Jefferson penned as “separation of church and state,” is to be overturned. When the Protestant horn has the power to direct the Republican horn to enforce religious mandates, the very heart of the Constitution is torn apart, thus you have the prophetic relationship between the line of the Constitution and the line of the image of the beast.
Nkaato ko kuremwa kw’ishusho y’inyamaswa kugenda kurarangira, Itegeko Nshinga, ryanditswe rifite ihame ry’ingenzi cyane Thomas Jefferson yanditseko ati “gutandukanya Itorero na Leta,” rigomba gukurwaho. Iyo ihembe ry’Abaporotesitanti rifite ububasha bwo kuyobora ihembe ry’Abaripubulikani ngo rishyire mu bikorwa amategeko y’idini, umutima nyir’izina w’Itegeko Nshinga uba ucagaguwe; bityo hakabaho isano y’ubuhanuzi iri hagati y’umurongo w’Itegeko Nshinga n’umurongo w’ishusho y’inyamaswa.
The period where the image of the beast is formed began in 2001, with the Patriot Act, and it ends at the Sunday law, when the mark of the beast is enforced. During that period the latter rain is sprinkled, for the latter rain begins to fall when the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descends and lightens the earth with His glory, which, according to Sister White, would occur when the great buildings of New York City were brought down by a touch of the Lord.

“The latter rain is to fall upon the people of God. A mighty angel is to come down from heaven, and the whole earth is to be lighted with his glory.” Review and Herald, April 21, 1891.
“Hujan akhir akan dicurahkan ke atas umat Tuhan. Seorang malaikat yang perkasa akan turun dari surga, dan seluruh bumi akan diterangi dengan kemuliaannya.” Review and Herald, 21 April 1891.
The period of the sprinkling of the latter rain represents a period of time when the wheat and tares of Adventism’s last generation are being sifted and purged. That sifting and purging ends at the Sunday law, and the wise virgins who possess the oil when the crisis of the Sunday law arrives, are sealed and then the Holy Spirit is poured out without measure until Michael stands up and human probation closes.
Nako ya go kgatšhelwa ga pula ya morago e emela sebaka sa nako seo ka sona korong le mefero ya moloko wa mafelelo wa Boadvente di hlwêkišwago le go ntšhwafšwa. Go hlwêkišwa le go ntšhwafšwa moo go fela molaong wa Sontaga, gomme barwedi ba bohlale bao ba nago le makhura ge tlalelo ya molao wa Sontaga e fihla, ba a swaiwa, gomme ka morago Moya o Mokgethwa o tšhollwa ka tekanyo ye e se nago moedi go fihlela Mikaele a ema gomme nako ya kgaugelo ya batho e tswalwa.
During the formation of the image of the beast in the United States the latter rain will be sprinkling, and during the formation of the image of the beast in the world the latter rain will be poured out without measure.
Semasa pembentukan patung binatang itu di Amerika Syarikat, hujan akhir akan sedang direnjiskan, dan semasa pembentukan patung binatang itu di dunia, hujan akhir akan dicurahkan tanpa ukuran.
In 2001 the testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church began, as typified by the Protestants of August 11, 1840, and by ancient Israel when Christ was baptized.
Pada tahun 2001, pengujian terhadap gereja Masehi Advent Hari Ketujuh Laodikia dimulai, sebagaimana dilambangkan oleh kaum Protestan pada 11 Agustus 1840, dan oleh Israel kuno ketika Kristus dibaptiskan.
“The time of test is just upon us, for the loud cry of the third angel has already begun in the revelation of the righteousness of Christ, the sin-pardoning Redeemer. This is the beginning of the light of the angel whose glory shall fill the whole earth.” Selected Messages, book 1, 362.
“Masa ujian sudah tepat di hadapan kita, kerana seruan nyaring malaikat yang ketiga telah pun bermula dalam penyataan kebenaran Kristus, Penebus yang mengampunkan dosa. Inilah permulaan terang malaikat yang kemuliaannya akan memenuhi seluruh bumi.” Selected Messages, buku 1, 362.
The final testing process for the former covenant people begins when the light of the angel of Revelation eighteen begins to present His message. His message is also represented in the first three verses of chapter eighteen of Revelation, and those three verses were, according to Sister White fulfilled when the great buildings of New York City came down.
Mokgwa wa bofelo wa teko bakeng sa batho ba kgolagano ya pele o simologa ge seetša sa morongwa wa Kutollo kgaolo ya lesomeseswai se thoma go bea molaetša wa Gagwe. Molaetša wa gagwe o emelwa gape mo ditemaneng tše tharo tša pele tša kgaolo ya lesomeseswai ya Kutollo, gomme ditemana tšeo tše tharo di be di, go ya ka Sister White, phethagaditšwe ge meago ye megolo ya Motse wa New York e wa.
The testing process then began, as represented by John in chapter ten of Revelation. The test was whether you would take the little book that was in the angel’s hand, and then eat it. During this testing period, while the latter rain is being sprinkled it is falling only upon those who choose to take the little book and eat it.
Proses ujian itu pun bermula, sebagaimana dilambangkan oleh Yohanes dalam pasal sepuluh kitab Wahyu. Ujian itu ialah sama ada engkau akan mengambil kitab kecil yang ada di tangan malaikat itu, lalu memakannya. Dalam tempoh ujian ini, sementara hujan akhir sedang direnjiskan, hujan itu hanya turun ke atas mereka yang memilih untuk mengambil kitab kecil itu dan memakannya.
“Many have in a great measure failed to receive the former rain. They have not obtained all the benefits that God has thus provided for them. They expect that the lack will be supplied by the latter rain. When the richest abundance of grace shall be bestowed, they intend to open their hearts to receive it. They are making a terrible mistake. The work that God has begun in the human heart in giving His light and knowledge must be continually going forward. Every individual must realize his own necessity. The heart must be emptied of every defilement and cleansed for the indwelling of the Spirit. It was by the confession and forsaking of sin, by earnest prayer and consecration of themselves to God, that the early disciples prepared for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. The same work, only in greater degree, must be done now. Then the human agent had only to ask for the blessing, and wait for the Lord to perfect the work concerning him. It is God who began the work, and He will finish His work, making man complete in Jesus Christ. But there must be no neglect of the grace represented by the former rain. Only those who are living up to the light they have will receive greater light. Unless we are daily advancing in the exemplification of the active Christian virtues, we shall not recognize the manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.” Testimonies to Ministers, 506, 507.
“Ba bantsi ba paletswe ka tekanyo e kgolo go amogela pula ya pele. Ga ba ise ba bone melemo yotlhe e Modimo a ba e baakanyeditseng ka tsela eo. Ba lebeletse gore tlhaelo eo e tla tlamelwa ke pula ya morago. Fa letlotlo le le humileng thata la tshegofatso le tla bo le abelwa, ba ikaelela go bula dipelo tsa bone gore ba le amogele.

Those who ate the message of 2001 were receiving a message appropriate for that period, but they were to be tested in order to manifest if they truly internalized the message into an experience prepared for the seal of God. In that period the latter rain is therefore represented as sprinkling, for the wheat and tares are still together. Therefore, Sister White says, “It may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it.” When the wise are separated from the foolish, the latter rain is then poured out without measure, as it was at Pentecost, which typifies the Sunday law.
Ba ba jele molaetsa oa 2001 ba ne ba amohela molaetsa o loketseng nako eo, empa ba ne ba tshwanetse ho lekwa e le hore ho bonahale hore na kannete ba kentse molaetsa oo kahare ho boiphihlelo bo lokiselitsoeng tiiso ea Molimo. Ka hona, nakong eo pula ea morao e emeloa e le ho fafatsa, hobane koro le mofoka li sa ntse li le hammoho. Ka lebaka leo, Morali’abo rona White o re, “E ka ’na eaba e oela holim’a lipelo tse re potolohileng ka mahlakoreng ’ohle, empa re ke ke ra e lemoha kapa ra e amohela.” Ha ba bohlale ba aroloa ho ba maoatla, joale pula ea morao e tšolleloa ntle ho tekanyo, joalokaha ho bile ka Pentekonta, e leng setšoantšo sa molao oa Sontaha.
“Again, these parables teach that there is to be no probation after the judgment. When the work of the gospel is completed, there immediately follows the separation between the good and the evil, and the destiny of each class is forever fixed.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 123.
“อีกครั้งหนึ่ง อุปมาเหล่านี้สอนว่า จะไม่มีเวลาทดลองใจอีกภายหลังการพิพากษา เมื่อพระราชกิจแห่งพระกิตติคุณเสร็จสิ้นลง ก็จะมีการแยกระหว่างคนดีกับคนชั่วตามมาในทันที และชะตากรรมของแต่ละพวกก็ถูกกำหนดไว้อย่างถาวรตลอดไป” อุทาหรณ์ของพระคริสต์, 123.
The period of the sprinkling of the latter rain, followed by a period when the latter rain is poured out without measure, are also illustrated as two periods where judgment is accomplished upon God’s people. The first period of judgment upon God’s people began with the house of God on September 11, 2001, and at the Sunday law judgment is then accomplished for God’s other flock who are responding to or rejecting the loud cry of the third angel that begins at the Sunday law in the United States, and ends when Michael stands up, and human probation closes.
Impilo yesikhathi sokufafazwa kwemvula yamuva, elandelwa yisikhathi lapho imvula yamuva ithululwa khona ngaphandle kwesilinganiso, nayo iboniswa njengezikhathi ezimbili lapho ukwahlulela kufezwa phezu kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu. Isikhathi sokuqala sokwahlulela phezu kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu saqala ngendlu kaNkulunkulu ngo-September 11, 2001, futhi ekwahlulelweni komthetho weSonto ukwahlulela sekufezelwa-ke omunye umhlambi kaNkulunkulu, abaphendulayo noma abenqabayo isimemezelo esikhulu sengweletshetshe yesithathu esiqala ngomthetho weSonto e-United States, siphele lapho uMikayeli esukuma, nokuvalwa kwesikhathi somusa sabantu.
The two periods of the latter rain, which are also the two periods of the judgment which begins with the house of God, and then moves to God’s other flock, are also the two periods of the formation of the image of the beast.
Dinako tse pedi tša pula ya morago, tše gape e lego dinako tše pedi tša kahlolo yeo e thomago ka ntlo ya Modimo, gomme morago ya fetela mohlapeng o mongwe wa Modimo, gape ke dinako tše pedi tša go bopša ga seswantšho sa sebata.
Within the first of those two prophetic periods, when judgment is brought upon God’s church and also the United States, is the very same history where the Republican horn and the Protestant horn are both judged. Right where Laodicean Adventism is spewed out of the mouth of the Lord, the United States fills its probationary cup, and national ruin is brought upon the nation, and Satan then appears and begins his marvelous work. The one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed and lifted up as an ensign at the Sunday law.

We are informed that it is impossible to give any idea of “the experience of the people of God who shall be alive upon the earth when celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended.”
Re bolellwa gore go ka se kgonege go nea kakanyo epe ka ga “maitemogelo a batho ba Modimo ba ba tla bong ba tshela mo lefatsheng fa kgalalelo ya legodimo le go boelediwa ga dipogiso tsa maloba di kopane.”
“Satan is a diligent Bible student. He knows that his time is short, and he seeks at every point to counterwork the work of the Lord upon this earth. It is impossible to give any idea of the experience of the people of God who shall be alive upon the earth when celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended. They will walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God. By means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth. And Satan, surrounded by evil angels, and claiming to be God, will work miracles of all kinds, to deceive, if possible, the very elect. God’s people will not find their safety in working miracles, for Satan will counterfeit the miracles that will be wrought. God’s tried and tested people will find their power in the sign spoken of in Exodus 31:12–18. They are to take their stand on the living word: ‘It is written.’ This is the only foundation upon which they can stand securely. Those who have broken their covenant with God will in that day be without God and without hope.” Testimonies, volume 9, 16.
“Setane ke moithuti wa Baebele yo o tlhagafetseng. O itse gore nako ya gagwe e khutshwane, mme mo ntlheng nngwe le nngwe o batla go lwantsha tiro ya Morena mo lefatsheng leno.

Ba ba robileng kgolagano ya bone le Modimo mo letsatsing leo ba tla bo ba se na Modimo e bile ba se na tsholofelo.” Testimonies, volume 9, 16.
The repetition of the persecutions of the past begins at the Sunday law in the United States, for Satan begins his marvelous work at that time, and the wise virgins who have already been “tried and tested,” will then “walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God.” This will be accomplished through the work of angels, for “by means of the angels there will be constant communication between heaven and earth.”
Pengulangan penganiayaan pada masa lalu bermula pada undang-undang Ahad di Amerika Syarikat, kerana pada waktu itulah Syaitan memulakan pekerjaannya yang menakjubkan, dan anak-anak dara yang bijaksana, yang telah pun “diuji dan dicuba,” pada masa itu akan “berjalan dalam terang yang keluar dari takhta Allah.” Hal ini akan terlaksana melalui pelayanan para malaikat, kerana “melalui perantaraan para malaikat akan ada perhubungan yang berterusan antara syurga dan bumi.”
“The anointed ones standing by the Lord of the whole earth, have the position once given to Satan as covering cherub. By the holy beings surrounding his throne, the Lord keeps up a constant communication with the inhabitants of the earth. The golden oil represents the grace with which God keeps the lamps of believers supplied, that they shall not flicker and go out. Were it not that this holy oil is poured from heaven in the messages of God’s Spirit, the agencies of evil would have entire control over men.
“Qhapaq kay pachap tukuyta kamachiq Señorpa ñawpaqninpi sayaq hayk’asqa runakunaqa, ñawpaqta Satanásman qosqa karqan chhullaq querubín hina qataqninpa puestonta hap’inku. Paypa t’iyanan muyuriq ch’uya kawsayniyuqkunawanmi Señorqa kay pachapi tiyakuqkunawan sapa kuti rimanakuyta waqaychan. Qori aceiteqa chay graciatan rikuchin, chaywanmi Diosqa iñiqkunapa mecheronkuta hunt’achin, mana llipyaykuspa wañunankupaq. Mana kay ch’uya aceite hanaq pachamanta Diospa Espiritunpa willakuyninkunapi pourasqa kanmanchu chayqa, mana allin atiyniyuqkunam runakunata llapanman kamachiyta atinqaku.”
“God is dishonored when we do not receive the communications which he sends us. Thus we refuse the golden oil which he would pour into our souls to be communicated to those in darkness. When the call shall come, ‘Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him,’ those who have not received the holy oil, who have not cherished the grace of Christ in their hearts, will find, like the foolish virgins, that they are not ready to meet their Lord. They have not, in themselves, the power to obtain the oil, and their lives are wrecked. But if God’s Holy Spirit is asked for, if we plead, as did Moses, ‘Show me thy glory,’ the love of God will be shed abroad in our hearts. Through the golden pipes, the golden oil will be communicated to us. ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.’ By receiving the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, God’s children shine as lights in the world.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.
“Tuhan dihina apabila kita tidak menerima perutusan yang dihantar-Nya kepada kita. Dengan demikian kita menolak minyak emas yang hendak dicurahkan-Nya ke dalam jiwa kita untuk disampaikan kepada mereka yang berada dalam kegelapan. Apabila seruan itu akan datang, ‘Lihatlah, pengantin lelaki datang; keluarlah kamu untuk menyongsong dia,’ mereka yang tidak menerima minyak suci itu, yang tidak memelihara kasih karunia Kristus di dalam hati mereka, akan mendapati, seperti gadis-gadis bodoh itu, bahawa mereka tidak bersedia untuk menemui Tuhan mereka. Mereka tidak mempunyai, dalam diri mereka sendiri, kuasa untuk memperoleh minyak itu, dan hidup mereka binasa. Tetapi jika Roh Kudus Allah diminta, jika kita memohon, seperti yang dilakukan Musa, ‘Perlihatkanlah kemuliaan-Mu kepadaku,’ kasih Allah akan dicurahkan ke dalam hati kita. Melalui saluran-saluran emas itu, minyak emas akan disampaikan kepada kita. ‘Bukan dengan keperkasaan, bukan dengan kekuatan, melainkan dengan Roh-Ku, firman TUHAN semesta alam.’ Dengan menerima sinar terang Matahari Kebenaran, anak-anak Allah bersinar sebagai terang di dalam dunia.” Review and Herald, 20 Julai 1897.
The wise are those who are sealed in Revelation chapter seven and Ezekiel chapter nine, and who are contrasted with the foolish who dishonor the Lord, by refusing “the communications he sends.” The foolish are those “who have broken their covenant with God who will in that day be without God and without hope.” Those two classes were tested and brought to a point where they manifested their character based upon whether they accepted or rejected the message of the hour. The message of the hour since September 11, 2001 has been the message of the latter rain.
Ndzi vanhu vo tlhariha hi lava va fungheriweke eka Nhlavutelo ndzima ya nkombo na Ezekiele ndzima ya kaye, naswona va hambanisiwa ni swiphukuphuku leswi nyamisaka Hosi hi ku ala “mahungu lawa a yi ma rhumelaka.” Swiphukuphuku hi lava “lava va tshoveke ntwanano wa vona na Xikwembu, lava hi siku rero va nga ta va hava Xikwembu ni ku pfumala ntshembo.” Mintlawa yoleyo mimbirhi yi ringiwile kutani yi fikisiwa laha yi kombiseke ximunhuhatelo xa yona hi ku ya hi leswaku yi amukerile kumbe yi arile rungula ra nkarhi wolowo. Rungula ra nkarhi wolowo ku sukela hi September 11, 2001, ri vile rungula ra mpfula ya le ndzhaku.
The message of the latter rain is recognized by the methodology of line upon line as set forth in Isaiah chapter twenty-eight. The methodology of line upon line is God’s appointed method of biblical study, and therefore to reject that methodology is not only to reject the message represented through the application of line upon line, from here a little and there a little, it is also to reject the Giver of the methodology.
Mesej hujan akhir dikenali melalui metodologi baris demi baris sebagaimana dinyatakan dalam Yesaya pasal dua puluh lapan. Metodologi baris demi baris ialah kaedah yang ditetapkan oleh Tuhan bagi pengkajian Alkitab, dan oleh itu menolak metodologi itu bukan sahaja bererti menolak mesej yang dinyatakan melalui penerapan baris demi baris, sedikit di sini dan sedikit di sana, tetapi juga menolak Pemberi metodologi itu.
Because of the inspired parameters revealed in the testing process that leads to the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, it is apparent that the only way a child of God can navigate through the history where “celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended,” is to be in an experience where the light from the throne of God can be recognized. It must be recognized, or it is useless, and we are lost.
Owing to the inspired parameters disclosed in the testing process that leads to the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, it is evident that the only way a child of God can pass safely through the history in which “celestial glory and a repetition of the persecutions of the past are blended,” is to be in an experience wherein the light from the throne of God may be recognized. It must be recognized, or it is of no avail, and we are lost.
“We must not wait for the latter rain. It is coming upon all who will recognize and appropriate the dew and showers of grace that fall upon us. When we gather up the fragments of light, when we appreciate the sure mercies of God, who loves to have us trust Him, then every promise will be fulfilled. [Isaiah 61:11 quoted.] The whole earth is to be filled with the glory of God.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.
“E ti tshi fanela u ima ri lavhelela mpfula ya u fhedzisela. I khou ḓa kha vhoṱhe vha no ḓivha na u dzhia sa zwavho mavuḓa na mvula dza tshilidzi dzi no wela kha riṋe.

[Yesaya 61:11 yo redzhiiwa.] Shango ḽoṱhe ḽi tea u ḓadzwa nga vhugala ha Mudzimu.” The Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary, volume 7, 984.
In the period that began when the angel of Revelation eighteen fills the whole earth with His glory, beginning on September 11, 2001, the latter rain has only come “upon” those “who” have “recognized and appropriated the dew and showers of grace that” is “falling upon us.” The “great mistake” identified earlier by Sister White, was when the foolish virgins thought they could wait until the latter rain was poured out without measure, for then they thought they could catch up. Not so, only those who are growing in their understanding of God’s prophetic Word receive more light.

As we conclude this article, the point I wish to identify is in connection with the purpose of the testing time we are now in. If we are to “walk in the light proceeding from the throne of God” in the time when the persecutions of the past are repeated, we will need to master the prophetic Word in advance of the crisis.
Apabila kita menutup rencana ini, perkara yang ingin saya nyatakan ialah berhubung dengan tujuan masa ujian yang sedang kita alami sekarang. Jika kita hendak “berjalan dalam terang yang keluar dari takhta Allah” pada waktu penganiayaan-penganiayaan masa lampau diulangi, kita perlu menguasai Firman nubuatan terlebih dahulu sebelum krisis itu tiba.
In chapter one, Daniel and the three worthies had already perfected their education before they went in to be tested by Nebuchadnezzar. For forty days Christ opened the prophetic Word to the understanding of the disciples in advance of the ten days where the disciples perfected their unity. Then came Pentecost, which typifies the Sunday law.
Dalam pasal satu, Daniel dan ketiga sahabat yang mulia itu telah pun menyempurnakan pendidikan mereka sebelum mereka masuk untuk diuji oleh Nebukadnezar. Selama empat puluh hari, Kristus telah membuka Firman nubuat kepada pengertian para murid terlebih dahulu sebelum genapnya sepuluh hari di mana para murid menyempurnakan kesatuan mereka. Kemudian datanglah Pentakosta, yang melambangkan hukum hari Minggu.
In Daniel chapter three, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego informed Nebuchadnezzar they needed no extra time, for they were already settled as to what they were to do in the Sunday law testing time. Their faithfulness was magnified when they walked in the furnace with Christ, and the message they had already settled into before the test was carried to all the then-known world by all the visiting dignitaries that witnessed the miracle in the furnace.
Mu Daniel suura yatatu, Shadrach, Meshach ne Abednego baa ka kyerɛɛ Nebukadnesa sɛ wonhia bere foforo biara, efisɛ na wɔasi wɔn adwene dedaw fa nea na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ wɔ Sanda mmara sɔhwɛ bere no ho. Wɔn nokwaredi hyɛɛ anuonyam kɛse bere a wɔne Kristo nantewee wɔ ogya fononoo no mu no, na nkrasɛm a na wɔagye atom dedaw ansa na sɔhwɛ no reba no, amannɔne atitiriw a wɔaba no nyinaa a wohui anwonwade no wɔ fononoo no mu no de kɔɔ wiase a na wonim no saa bere no nyinaa mu.
We will continue these thoughts in the next article.
