William Miller’s foundational truths were covered up over the four generations of Adventism. The restoration of those foundational truths are set forth in his second dream, and repeatedly identified in the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy as the work God’s last day people are to accomplish. Miller’s dream identifies that when the dirt brush man restores the jewels, they will shine ten times brighter than the sun.

Miller’s framework was based upon recognizing the two desolating powers of paganism followed by papalism, and the apostle Paul’s testimony in chapter two of Thessalonians, provided Miller with the anchor for his framework. There Paul identifies that pagan Rome had restrained the papacy from rising to power, until pagan Rome was taken away. In 2 Thessalonians, Paul also provided the anchor for the framework of Future for America, when Paul identified that the “man of sin” in the chapter was also represented as the king that exalted himself, in Daniel chapter eleven, and verse thirty-six.

It is essential to see that the increase of knowledge in the movement of both the first and third angels, was directly connected with Paul’s testimony in chapter two of Thessalonians. At the time of the end in 1798, and also in 1989, the book of Daniel was unsealed, thus initiating a three-step testing process. The testing process always produces two classes of worshippers in the history where the book of Daniel is unsealed. It is essential to see Paul’s writings in connection with the increase of knowledge at the time of the end, for it is in that very chapter where Paul warns that those who do not receive the “love of the truth,” will receive strong delusion from God. The strong delusion is what is brought upon the wicked in Daniel chapter twelve, who reject the increase of knowledge. In both histories the strong delusion is most directly referring to Adventism.

“One who sees beneath the surface, who reads the hearts of all men, says of those who have had great light: ‘They are not afflicted and astonished because of their moral and spiritual condition.’ Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before Mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.’ ‘God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie,’ because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ ‘but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’ Isaiah 66:3, 4; 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 10, 12.
“Isa keessaa ilaalu, kan garaa namoota hundumaa dubbisu, warra ifa guddaa argatan ilaalchisee akkana jedha: ‘Isaan haala naamusaa fi hafuuraa isaanii irraa kan ka’e hin rakkatan, hin rifatanis.’ Eeyyee, isaan kara isaanii mataa isaanii filataniiru, lubbuun isaaniis wantoota jibbisiisoo isaanii keessatti gammaddi.

“The heavenly Teacher inquired: ‘What stronger delusion can beguile the mind than the pretense that you are building on the right foundation and that God accepts your works, when in reality you are working out many things according to worldly policy and are sinning against Jehovah? Oh, it is a great deception, a fascinating delusion, that takes possession of minds when men who have once known the truth, mistake the form of godliness for the spirit and power thereof; when they suppose that they are rich and increased with goods and in need of nothing, while in reality they are in need of everything.’

“God has not changed toward His faithful servants who are keeping their garments spotless. But many are crying, ‘Peace and safety,’ while sudden destruction is coming upon them. Unless there is thorough repentance, unless men humble their hearts by confession and receive the truth as it is in Jesus, they will never enter heaven. When purification shall take place in our ranks, we shall no longer rest at ease, boasting of being rich and increased with goods, in need of nothing.

“Who can truthfully say: ‘Our gold is tried in the fire; our garments are unspotted by the world’? I saw our Instructor pointing to the garments of so-called righteousness. Stripping them off, He laid bare the defilement beneath. Then He said to me: ‘Can you not see how they have pretentiously covered up their defilement and rottenness of character? ‘How is the faithful city become an harlot!’ My Father’s house is made a house of merchandise, a place whence the divine presence and glory have departed! For this cause there is weakness, and strength is lacking.’” Testimonies, volume 8, 249, 250.

Adventism was “the faithful city” when it proclaimed the Midnight Cry in 1844. By 1863, it began the process of rejecting the “foundations” that were established through the ministry of William Miller. When they began to set aside the foundational truths, thus covering them with counterfeit jewels and coins, they were building a new foundation. Those that began, carried out and continue that work, are represented in the writing of the Spirit of Prophecy as “those who have had great light.”
Adveentizimi yeroo Iyya Walii-galaa Halkan Giddugaleessaa bara 1844 labsaa turetti “magaalaa amanamtuu” ture. Bara 1863tti, adeemsa “bu’uuroota” tajaajila William Milleriin hundeeffaman diduu jalqabe. Yommuu isaan dhugaawwan bu’uuraa gara cinaatti dhiisuu jalqaban, akkasumas kanneen sana faaya sobaa fi saantima sobaatiin haguugaa turanitti, isaan hundee haarawa ijaaruu turan. Warri hojii sana jalqaban, raawwatan, ammas itti fufan, barreessitoota Hafuura Raajii keessatti akka “warra ifa guddaa argatan”tti bakka bu’anii mul’atu.
The “great light” they once had, was represented in Miller’s dream as the jewels in the casket, which Miller placed upon a table in the center of his room, that shone brighter than “the sun.” In the passage just cited Sister White identifies, “those who have had great light,” but who “have chosen their own ways.”
“Ifa guddaa” isaan yeroo tokko qaban, abjuu Miiler keessatti akkuma dhagaa gatii guddaa saanduqa keessa turanitti bakka buufamee ture; Miileris isaan giddugala kutaa isaa keessatti minjaala irra kaa’ee, isaanis “aduu” caalaa ifa cimaadhaan ifan.

They chose a new way in 1863. She says it is “a fascinating delusion, that takes possession of minds when men who have once known the truth, mistake the form of godliness for the spirit and power thereof; when they suppose that they are rich and increased with goods and in need of nothing, while in reality they are in need of everything.”
ⴰⵙⵙⵓⵎⵎⵓⵔⵏ ⵙ ⵓⴱⵔⵉⴷ ⴰⵎⴰⵢⵏⵓ ⴳ 1863. ⵜⴻⵏⵏⴰ ⴷⴰⵡ “ⴷ ⴰⵟⵟⴰⵍ ⴰⵙⴻⵅⵅⴰⵎ, ⵉⵜⵜⴰⵡⴻⴹ ⵉⵎⴰⵏ ⵏ ⵎⴷⴷⴰⵏ ⵎⵉⵏⵣⵉ ⵡⵉⴷ ⵏⵏⴰ ⵉⵙⵙⵏⴻⵏ ⵢⴰⴹⵏⵉ ⵜⵉⴷⴻⵜ, ⴰⴷ ⵙⵙⵓⵜⵓⵏ ⵜⴰⵍⵖⴰ ⵏ ⵜⴻⵎⴳⴳⵉⴷⴰ ⴷ ⵓⵏⴼⴰⵙ ⴷ ⵜⴰⵣⵎⴻⵔⵜ ⵏⵏⴻⵙ; ⵎⵉⵏⵣⵉ ⵇⵇⴰⵏ ⴰⵔ ⵙⴻⵅⵙⴰⵔⴻⵏ ⵎⴰⵙ ⵏⵉⵜⵏⵉ ⴷ ⵉⵎⵔⵏⵓⴳⴰ ⴷ ⵉⴳⵓⵜⴰⵏ ⵙ ⵜⴻⵎⵍⴽⴰⵏⵜ ⴷ ⵓⵔ ⵙⴰⵔⵏ ⵉ ⵡⴰⵍⵓ, ⵎⴰⵛⴰ ⴳ ⵜⵉⴷⴻⵜ ⵏⵉⵜⵏⵉ ⵙⴰⵔⵏ ⵉ ⴽⵓⵍⵍⵓ.”
She is identifying the Laodicean condition, which she and her husband identified occurred in 1856. They were then tested for seven years, but failed the test in 1863, and began erecting the false foundation that brings the strong delusion of Paul’s warning message in Thessalonians. Paul’s warning in Thessalonians is an anchor for both the movement at the beginning and ending of Adventism, and aligns perfectly with Miller’s dream, which addresses both the beginning and ending of Adventism. His dream identifies that when the work of restoring the original jewels of truth is accomplished, those truths will shine ten times brighter than when they first shone at the Midnight Cry in the beginning of Adventism. How is it that Miller’s understanding shines any brighter now, than when he first recognized the truth?
Isheen haala Laa’odiiqeyaa adda baafti, haala isheenii fi abbaan manaa ishee akka bara 1856 keessatti raawwatame adda baasan sana. Sana booddee waggaa torbaaf qorataman, garuu bara 1863 keessatti qormaata sana kufan; achiis hundee sobaa, kan ergaa akeekkachiisaa Phaawuloos Tesaloonqee keessatti kenne keessaa gowwoomsaa cimaa fidu, ijaaruu jalqaban.

Egaa akkamitti hubannoon Miiliirii amma, yeroo inni jalqaba dhugaa sana hubate caalaa, ifa guddaa qaba jechuu dandeenya?
There are several truths represented upon the two sacred charts of Habakkuk chapter two. Those truths were represented in Miller’s dream as jewels that would ultimately be restored in the last days, just before the Midnight Cry. The counterfeit jewels that are carried out of the window in Miller’s dream represent both the false doctrines that were brought into Adventism to create a false foundation, and also to hide the true foundation; but they also represent those who refuse to turn loose of the false doctrines that make up the false foundation. “The daily” was the anchor for William Miller’s framework of truth that established the original foundation, and in the last days “the daily,” symbolizes not only paganism, as Miller correctly identified, but it is the symbol of the rebellion that produced the false foundation.

The Bible, the Spirit of Prophecy and history all testify that the judgment-hour cry of 1798 through 1844, was the proclamation of the message discovered and presented by William Miller. This is why the movement is called the Millerite movement. Logically to reject that movement, is to reject the light that was produced in 1798, that Daniel identified as an increase of knowledge.
Kitaabni Qulqulluun, Hafuuriin Raajii fi seenaa hundinuu iyyi yeroo murtii kan bara 1798 irraa kaasee hanga 1844tti ture, labsii ergaa William Milleriin argamee fi dhihaate akka ture ni dhugaa ba’u.

Isaiah speaks of the drunkards of Ephraim, and identifies those drunkards as the scornful men that rule the people of Jerusalem. Isaiah identifies that they are not drunk with literal wine, they are drunk with spiritual wine. Spiritual wine in the Bible is either true or false doctrine, depending upon the context. The drunkards of Ephraim are drunk on false doctrine, which is the wine of Babylon, as represented by the whore of Tyre in chapter seventeen, of Revelation and by Belshazzar in his last night of partying.

Isaiah identified the effects of the spiritual drunkenness that comes upon the scornful men that rule the people of Jerusalem.

Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? Isaiah 29:9–16.

Sister White quotes these verses and then adds:
Obboleettiin White lakkoofsa kana ni caqasti; achiis immoo kana dabaltee ni jedhu:
“Every word of this will be fulfilled. There are those who do not humble their hearts before God, and who will not walk uprightly. They hide their true purposes, and keep in fellowship with the fallen angel, who loveth and maketh a lie. The enemy puts his spirit upon the men whom he can use to deceive those who are partially in the dark. Some are becoming imbued with the darkness that prevails, and are setting the truth aside for error. The day pointed out by prophecy is come. Jesus Christ is not understood. Jesus Christ is to them a fable. At this stage of the earth’s history, many act like drunken men. ‘Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry; they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. For the Lord hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes. The prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.’ A spiritual drunkenness is upon many who suppose they are the people who shall be exalted. Their religious faith is just as is represented in this Scripture. Under its influence, they cannot walk straight. They make crooked paths in their course of action. One and then another, they reel to and fro. They are looked upon by the Lord with great pity. The way of truth they have not known. They are scientific schemers, and those who could and should have helped, because of a clear spiritual eyesight, are themselves deceived, and are sustaining an evil work.

“The developments of these last days will soon become decided. When these spiritualistic deceptions are revealed to be what they really are,—the secret workings of evil spirits,—those who have acted a part in them will become as men who have lost their minds.

“It is presented to me that in our experience we have been and are meeting this very condition of things. Men who have had great light and wonderful privileges have taken the word of leaders who think themselves wise, who have been greatly favored and blessed by the Lord, but who have taken themselves out of the hands of God and placed themselves in the ranks of the enemy. The world is to be flooded with specious fallacies. One human mind, accepting these fallacies, will work upon other human minds, who have been turning the precious evidence of God’s truth into a lie. These men will be deceived by fallen angels, when they should have stood as faithful guardians, watching for souls, as they that must give an account. They have laid down the weapons of their warfare, and have given heed to seducing spirits. They make of no effect the counsel of God and set aside his warnings and reproofs, and are positively on Satan’s side, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.

“Spiritual drunkenness is now upon men who ought not to be staggering as men under the influence of strong drink. Crimes and irregularities, fraud, deceit, and unfair dealing fill the world, in accordance with the teaching of the leader who rebelled in the heavenly courts.

“History is to be repeated. I could specify what will be in the near future, but the time is not yet. The forms of the dead will appear, through the cunning device of Satan, and many will link up with the one who loveth and maketh a lie. I warn our people that right among us some will turn away from the faith, and give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils, and by them the truth will be evil spoken of.” Battle Creek Letters, 123–125.
“Seenaan ni irra deebiʼama. Ani wanta yeroo dhihoo keessatti taʼu addaan baasee ibsuu nan dandaʼa, garuu yeroon isaa amma iyyuu hin geenye.

All the prophets, including Isaiah and Sister White are identifying the last days. In these days the leaders of Adventism “are positively on Satan’s side, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.” Sister White sets forth a prediction when she says, “When these spiritualistic deceptions are revealed to be what they really are,—the secret workings of evil spirits,—those who have acted a part in them will become as men who have lost their minds.” The leadership of Adventism will become as men who have lost their minds, at the point in the history of the last days when their drunkenness is revealed to be “the secret workings of evil spirits.”

There is an unsealing of the work of the scornful men that rule the people in Jerusalem in the last days. That unsealing was illustrated in Miller’s dream, when Miller prayed and then there was a door opened. It takes place just before he closed his eyes for a moment, identifying the very end of the sealing process of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The opening of a door identifies a change of dispensations, and at that point the Laodicean movement of the third angel transitions into the Philadelphian movement of the third angel.

In the passage in Isaiah, there is a summary of the evil work of the drunkards of Ephraim, who are the men who “should have stood as faithful guardians.” The summary is expressed as, “‘Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay; for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it. He had no understanding?’”
Keewwata Isaayyaas keessaa sana keessatti, hojii hamaa warra macheefamtoota Efreem, warra “eegdota amanamoo taʼanii dhaabbachuu qabu” turan, gabaabinaan ibsameera. Gabaabinni sunis akkana jechuun ibsameera: “‘Dhugumaan wantoota isin garagalchitaniin gadi ol qopheessuun keessan akka suphee supheessaa taʼee ni ilaalama; hojii sun isa isa tolcheen, Inni na hin tolchine, ni jedhaa ree? yookaan wanti bocame sun isa isa bocheen, Inni hubannaa hin qabu, ni jedhaa ree?’”
Miller’s identification of “the daily,” as either the religion of paganism or pagan Rome is ultimately a symbol of Satan, for Satan and pagan Rome are both represented as the dragon.
Miliir “guyyaa guyyaa” jedhamee waamamu kan amantii waaqeffannaa tolfamaa yookaan mootummaa Roomaa waaqeffannaa tolfamaa taʼe jedhee adda baase, dhuma irratti mallattoo Seexanaa ti; jechuunis, Seexanaa fi Roomaan waaqeffannaa tolfamaa lamaan isaanii iyyuu bineensa guddaa jedhamuun bakka buufamu.
“Thus while the dragon, primarily, represents Satan, it is, in a secondary sense, a symbol of pagan Rome.” The Great Controversy, 439.
“Kanaaf, yeroo jalqabaatti, bofa guddaan Seexana kan bakka bu’u ta’us, hiika lammaffaatiin immoo Roomaa warra waaqeffannaa waaqolii sobaa hordofan jechuun mallattoo dha.” The Great Controversy, 439.
Speaking of the men who rule Jerusalem in the last days, Sister White states: “Some are becoming imbued with the darkness that prevails, and are setting the truth aside for error. The day pointed out by prophecy is come. Jesus Christ is not understood. Jesus Christ is to them a fable.” In 1901, a leader of Adventism from Germany began to introduce apostate Protestantism’s false view of “the daily” in the book of Daniel. That view identifies that “the daily” represents Christ’s sanctuary work, or some variation of that thought. I say some variation for there have been different emphasis placed upon the falsehood through the history that followed 1901, but those false views always manifest a conclusion that “the daily” represents some type of Christ’s work.
Guyyoota Yerusaalem bulchan guyyoota dhumaa ilaalchisee Obboleettiin Waayit akkana jette: “Namoonni tokko tokko dukkana achi keessatti mootummaa qabuun guutamaa jiru; dhugaa immoo dogoggoraaf gadi dhiisu. Guyyaan raajii keessatti akeekame dhufeera. Yesuus Kiristoos hin hubatamu. Isaanitti Yesuus Kiristoos oduu afoolaa ta’eera.” Bara 1901 keessatti, hoogganaan Advantizimii tokko Jarmanii irraa kitaaba Daani’el keessatti ilaalcha sobaa Pirootestaantizimii gantuu waa’ee “kan yeroo hundumaa” jedhu keessaa galchuu jalqabe. Ilaalchi sun “kan yeroo hundumaa” jedhu hojii mana qulqullummaa Kiristoos, yookaan yaada sana keessaa gosa tokko akka bakka bu’u adda baasa. Ani “gosa tokko” jedhee nan jedhu; sababiin isaas, seenaa bara 1901 booda itti aanse keessatti soba sana irratti xiyyeeffannoon garaagaraa kaa’ameera; garuu ilaalchiwwan sobaa sun yeroo hunda xumura tokko mul’isu; innis “kan yeroo hundumaa” jedhu hojii Kiristoos keessaa gosa tokko akka bakka bu’u dha.
The jewel that was the doctrine of “the daily,” which Miller identified as a satanic symbol, in the Adventism of the last days, is a symbol of Christ. When introduced in 1901, very few accepted the view that “the daily” was a symbol of Christ, and not a symbol of Satan, but by the 1930’s the jewel of the doctrine of “the daily,” which Miller had dug out of the vein of truth found in 2 Thessalonians, chapter two, was rejected as had the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six been rejected in 1863. Somewhere in the history of 1863 unto the 1930’s Adventism had changed leaders, without recognizing it.
“guutuun guyyaa” jedhu kan Miilaar akka mallattoo Seexanaa taʼetti adda baase, Adivantizimii guyyoota dhumaa keessatti immoo mallattoo Kiristoos taʼe. Yeroo inni bara 1901tti dhiyaate, namoonni muraasni qofa yaada “guutuun guyyaa” mallattoo Kiristoos taʼuu isaa, mallattoo Seexanaa miti jedhu fudhatan; garuu yeroo waggoota 1930mootaatti, luulaan barsiisa “guutuu guyyaa” jedhu kan Miilaar ujummoo dhugaa 2 Tasalonqee boqonnaa lammaffaa keessatti argamu keessaa qotee baase, akkuma “yeroo torba” Leewota boqonnaa digdamii jaha keessa jiru bara 1863tti didame sanitti, didame.

“Brethren, I see your peril, and again I ask, Do you who err make any effort to correct the wrong? Souls may be stumbling along, walking in darkness, because you have not made straight paths for your feet. If you are in positions of trust, I appeal the more earnestly to you, for your own souls’ sake and for the sake of those who look to you as guides, repent before God for every mistake made, and confess your error.
“Obboloota, ani balaa keessan nan arga; ammasis ani isin gaafadha, isin warri dogoggortan dogoggora sana sirreessuuf yaalii tokko illee ni gootu moo? Sababiin isaas, isin miilla keessaniif karaawwan qajeelaa hin tolchineef, lubbuuleen gufachaa, dukkana keessa deemaa taʼuu malu. Isin yoo iddoo amanamummaa irratti jirtan, ani caalaatti cimsinee isin nan kadhadha; lubbuu ofii keessaniitiif jedhaa fi warra akka qajeelchitootaatti isin ilaallataniif jedhaa, dogoggora raawwatame hundaaf Waaqayyo duratti qalbii jijjiirradhaa, dogoggora keessanis himadhaa.”
“If you indulge stubbornness of heart, and through pride and self-righteousness do not confess your faults, you will be left subject to Satan’s temptations. If when the Lord reveals your errors you do not repent or make confession, his providence will bring you over the ground again and again. You will be left to make mistakes of a similar character, you will continue to lack wisdom, and will call sin righteousness, and righteousness sin. The multitude of deceptions that will prevail in these last days will encircle you, and you will change leaders, and not know that you have done so.” Review and Herald, December 16, 1890.
“Yoo mata-jabeenya garaa keessatti yoo itti fufte, akkasumas oftuulummaa fi of-qajeelchummaaatiin dogoggora kee yoo hin himanne, qorumsa mootummaa Seexanaa jalatti haftee ni taaʼita. Yommuu Gooftaan dogoggora kee sitti mulʼisutti, ati yoo hin qalbeeffanne yookaan himannaa yoo hin goone, eegumsi isaa lafa sana irra si deebisee irra deddeebiʼee si geessa. Dogoggora amala walfakkaataa qabu hojjechuuf ni dhiifamta; ogummaa dhabuu keessatti itti fufta; cubbuus qajeelummaa, qajeelummaas cubbuu jettee waamta. Baayʼinni gowwoomsaa guyyoota dhumaa kana keessatti babalʼatu si marsa; hoogganaa ni jijjiirta, garuu akka akkas goote hin beektu.” Review and Herald, December 16, 1890.
The scornful men that rule over the people of Jerusalem, who are men “in positions of trust,” will “call sin righteousness and righteousness sin,” and “Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay; for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it. He had no understanding?’” In the progressive rebellion over the four generations of Adventism, those who are positions of trust change leaders, and don’t know it. They do not know it, for they progressively and consistently rejected evidence of their errors. In that progressive rebellion “the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.”
Namoonni qoolloqoo taʼanii saba Yerusaalem irratti mootummaa qaban, warri “iddoo amanamummaa” keessa jiranii, “cubbuu qajeelummaadha, qajeelinas cubbuudha” jedhu; akkasumas, “Dhugumaan garagalchuun keessan akka suphee hojjetaa supheetti lakkaaʼama; hojii sun isa isa hojjetee, Inni na hin hojjenne, ni jedhaa? Yookaan wanti bocame inni isa bocetti, Inni hubannaa hin qabu, ni jedhaa?” Jedhu. Fincila adeemsifamaa dhaloota afran keessatti Adventizimii keessaa, warri iddoo amanamummaa keessa jiran geggeessitoota jijjiiru; garuu kana hin beekan. Isaan kana hin beekan; sababiin isaas, ragaa dogoggora isaanii ifa godhu suuta suutaanii fi yeroo hundumaa didaniiru. Fincila adeemsifamaa sana keessatti, “ogummaan namoota isaanii ogeeyyii taʼanii ni bada; hubannaan namoota isaanii hubataa taʼaniis ni dhokata.”
They will turn things upside down, and call sin righteousness and righteousness sin. The symbol of this rebellion is the doctrine of “the daily,” which for Miller was a satanic symbol, and which Adventism today identifies as a symbol of Christ. What once was the anchor that established the framework of William Miller’s prophetic applications, is now become a symbol of the drunkenness of the scornful men that rule over the people of Jerusalem. The symbolism associated with “the daily,” in the book of Daniel shone bright as the sun when recognized in Miller’s casket at the beginning of Adventism, but in the last days that truth shines ten times brighter, for the number ten is a symbol of a test, and for ancient Israel the tenth test was the final test.

Modern Pharisees have “attributed” “the works of Christ” “to satanic agencies” identifying paganism as “the holy power of God.”
ଏହି ଆଧୁନିକ ଫରିସୀମାନେ “ଖ୍ରୀଷ୍ଟଙ୍କର କାର୍ଯ୍ୟଗୁଡ଼ିକୁ” “ଶୟତାନୀୟ ଶକ୍ତିମାନଙ୍କ ପାଖକୁ ଆରୋପ କରିଛନ୍ତି,” ଏବଂ ପୌରାଣିକ ପୂଜାପାଠକୁ “ଈଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କ ପବିତ୍ର ଶକ୍ତି” ବୋଲି ପରିଚିତ କରିଛନ୍ତି।
“The Pharisees sinned against the Holy Ghost. Their talent of speech was used to abuse the world’s Redeemer, and the recording angel wrote their words in the books of heaven. They attributed to satanic agencies the holy power of God, manifested in the works of Christ. They could not evade His wonderful works, or attribute them to natural causes, so they said, ‘They are the works of the devil.’ In unbelief they spoke of the Son of God as a human being. The works of healing done before them, works which no man had done or could do, were a manifestation of the power of God, but they charged Christ with being in league with hell. Stubborn, sullen, ironhearted, they determined to close their eyes to all evidence, and thus they committed the unpardonable sin.” Manuscript Releases, volume 4, 360.
