We are considering six historical lines within the history of Adventism where controversies over the symbol of Rome was the issue. We are employing the methodology of the latter rain, which is “line upon line” from “here a little” and “there a little.” We began by identifying that the first controversy over the symbol of Rome illustrates the current controversy, and therefore emphasizes that we are now in the last controversy before probation closes.
Urang keur ngulik genep garis sajarah dina sajarah Adventisme, tempat pasualan ngeunaan lambang Roma jadi pasualan utamana. Urang ngagunakeun metodologi hujan ahir, nya éta “garis demi garis” tina “di dieu saeutik” jeung “di ditu saeutik.” Urang ngamimitian ku ngaidentifikasi yén pasualan kahiji ngeunaan lambang Roma ngagambarkeun pasualan ayeuna, ku kituna nekenkeun yén ayeuna urang aya dina pasualan panungtungan saméméh panto kasempetan ditutup.
The seriousness of this final controversy about the symbol of Rome is also represented by verses ten through sixteen of Daniel eleven, which typify the hidden history of verse forty of Daniel eleven. The history of verse forty brings the student of prophecy to 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union as represented in verse ten. The next verse, verse forty-one, which identifies the soon-coming Sunday law in the United States, is typified by verse sixteen. Inspiration has identified that what was sealed was “the portion of the book of Daniel that related to the last days”.
Kaseriusan pasulayan panungtungan ieu ngeunaan lambang Roma ogé kagambarkeun ku ayat sapuluh nepi ka genep belas tina Daniel sabelas, anu janten perlambang sajarah nu nyumput tina ayat opat puluh dina Daniel sabelas. Sajarah dina ayat opat puluh ngantunkeun murid nubuat ka taun 1989 jeung rubuhna Uni Soviét sakumaha kagambarkeun dina ayat sapuluh. Ayat salajengna, nyaéta ayat opat puluh hiji, anu nandakeun hukum Minggu nu baris geura datang di Amérika Sarikat, diperlambangkeun ku ayat genep belas. Ilham parantos netelakeun yén anu disegel téh “bagian tina kitab Daniel anu patali jeung poé-poé panungtungan”.
1989 unto the Sunday law is the sealed portion of the last days, and it is typified in verses ten through sixteen. It is therefore the increase of knowledge that leads to the close of probation for Seventh-day Adventists, for Adventism’s probation in the United States is finished at the Sunday law. In verses ten through sixteen we find verse fourteen, which identifies that it is the “robbers” of God’s people that establish the vision.
Ti taun 1989 nepi ka hukum poé Minggu téh mangrupa bagian anu disegel tina poé-poé panungtungan, sarta ieu dilambangkeun dina ayat sapuluh nepi ka genep welas. Ku sabab éta, nambahanana pangaweruh anu ngabalukarkeun panutupan mangsa pamariksaan pikeun Advent Hari Katujuh, sabab mangsa pamariksaan Adventisme di Amérika Serikat réngsé dina hukum poé Minggu. Dina ayat sapuluh nepi ka genep welas urang manggihan ayat opat welas, anu nétélakeun yén “para garong” umat Allah anu netepkeun tetenjoan éta.
Therefore, the Millerite controversy that is represented upon the 1843 pioneer chart is the first controversy of Rome in Adventism’s history. The fact that the very same controversy has again arrived, informs anyone who wishes to see that Jesus, as the Alpha and Omega, always illustrates the end with the beginning. The current controversy is the final controversy which sifts the wise and foolish virgins.
Ku sabab kitu, pasualan Millerite anu digambarkeun dina bagan panaratas 1843 téh mangrupa pasualan munggaran Roma dina sajarah Adventisme. Kanyataan yén pasualan anu sarua pisan ayeuna geus datang deui, méré terang ka saha waé anu daék ningali yén Yesus, salaku Alfa jeung Omega, salawasna ngagambarkeun ahir ku awal. Pasualan anu keur lumangsung ayeuna téh nyaéta pasualan panungtungan anu nyaring parawan-parawan wijaksana jeung anu bodo.
Sanctified prophetic logic teaches that the one hundred and forty-four thousand come into perfect unity before their close of probation at the soon-coming Sunday law. The refining fire of Malachi’s Messenger of the Covenant is now purifying the Levites as gold and silver. The Dirt Brush Man is now purging His floor with words of truth.
Logika nubuat anu disucikeun ngajarkeun yén saratus opat puluh opat rébu ngahontal kasatuan anu sampurna saméméh panutupan mangsa kasempetan maranéhna dina hukum Minggu anu enggal bakal datang. Seuneu panyucian ti Utusan Perjangjian dina kitab Malaki ayeuna keur nyucikeun urang Lewi saperti emas jeung pérak. Jalma Sikat Kokotor ayeuna keur ngabersihan lanté-Na ku kecap-kecap bebeneran.
“‘Whose fan is in His hand, and He will throughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner.’ Matthew 3:12. This was one of the times of purging. By the words of truth, the chaff was being separated from the wheat. Because they were too vain and self-righteous to receive reproof, too world-loving to accept a life of humility, many turned away from Jesus. Many are still doing the same thing. Souls are tested today as were those disciples in the synagogue at Capernaum. When truth is brought home to the heart, they see that their lives are not in accordance with the will of God. They see the need of an entire change in themselves; but they are not willing to take up the self-denying work. Therefore they are angry when their sins are discovered. They go away offended, even as the disciples left Jesus, murmuring, ‘This is an hard saying; who can hear it?’” The Desire of Ages, 392.
“‘Nu ayakan-Na aya dina panangan-Na, sarta Anjeunna baris ngaberesihan sakabéh tempat ngirik-Na nepi ka tuntas, jeung ngumpulkeun gandum-Na ka lumbung.’ Mateus 3:12. Ieu téh salah sahiji mangsa panyucian. Ku pangandika bebeneran, sekam keur dipisahkeun tina gandum. Ku sabab maranéhna kacida gumedé, sia, jeung ngarasa bener sorangan nepi ka teu daék narima panginget; teuing nyaah ka dunya nepi ka teu daék narima hirup handap asor, loba anu ngajauh ti Yesus. Loba kénéh anu masih ngalakonan hal anu sarua. Jiwa-jiwa keur diuji ayeuna sakumaha murid-murid éta diuji di sinagoga Kapernaum. Nalika bebeneran ditepikeun nepi ka nyentuh haté, maranéhna ningali yén kahirupan maranéhna teu saluyu jeung pangersa Allah. Maranéhna ningali perluna robah sagemblengna dina dirina; tapi maranéhna teu daék nyangking pagawean panolakan diri éta. Ku sabab kitu maranéhna ambek nalika dosa-dosana kabuka. Maranéhna indit bari ngarasa kasigeung, sakumaha murid-murid ninggalkeun Yesus, bari humandeuar, ‘Ieu ucapan téh beurat; saha anu sanggup ngadéngékeunana?’” The Desire of Ages, 392.
The fact that the first sixteen verses are the beginning of Daniel’s last prophecy, and that those verses align with the last six verses of the chapter, indicates that the Alpha and Omega is using the verses in the beginning to accomplish the final separation of the wise and wicked, as represented by Daniel in chapter twelve, which is now occurring.
Kanyataan yén genep welas ayat anu kahiji téh mangrupa awal tina nubuat panungtungan Daniel, sarta yén ayat-ayat éta sajajar jeung genep ayat panungtung dina pasal éta, nuduhkeun yén Alpha jeung Omega keur ngagunakeun ayat-ayat dina bagian awal pikeun ngalaksanakeun pamisahan panungtungan antara nu wijaksana jeung nu jahat, sakumaha dilambangkeun ku Daniel dina pasal dua welas, anu ayeuna keur lumangsung.
A third witness to the serious nature of the controversy is the fact that inspiration, through the writings of Sister White, clearly upholds the 1843 pioneer chart, which represents the controversy of Rome in verse fourteen. The beginning controversy represents the ending controversy, and the inspired endorsement of the Millerite understanding of verse fourteen’s “robbers of thy people,” means that if that foundational truth is rejected, it is simultaneously a rejection of the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy. In agreement with the previous two witnesses that emphasize that this controversy occurs just before probation closes is the certainty that the last, or final, deception for those who profess to uphold the Spirit of Prophecy, is a rejection of the Spirit of Prophecy.
Saksi katilu ngeunaan sipat anu serius tina paséa ieu nyaéta kanyataan yén ilham, ngaliwatan tulisan-tulisan Sister White, kalayan écés ngukuhkeun bagan panaratas taun 1843, anu ngagambarkeun paséa Roma dina ayat opat welas.

“Satan is . . . constantly pressing in the spurious—to lead away from truth. The very last deception of Satan will be to make of none effect the testimony of the Spirit of God. ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish’ (Proverbs 29:18). Satan will work ingeniously, in different ways and through different agencies, to unsettle the confidence of God’s remnant people in the true testimony.
“Iblis téh ... terus-terusan ngadesekkeun anu palsu—pikeun ngabalikeun tina bebeneran. Tipu daya Iblis anu pangpamungkas pisan nyaéta ngajadikeun teu aya gunana deui kasaksian ti Roh Allah. ‘Lamun euweuh titingalian, umat téh binasa’ (Siloka 29:18). Iblis bakal digawé kalayan licik, ku rupa-rupa cara jeung ngaliwatan rupa-rupa sarana, pikeun ngagoncangkeun kayakinan umat sesa Allah kana kasaksian anu sajati.
“There will be a hatred kindled against the Testimonies which is satanic. The workings of Satan will be to unsettle the faith of the churches in them, for this reason: Satan cannot have so clear a track to bring in his deceptions and bind up souls in his delusions if the warnings and reproofs and counsels of the Spirit of God are heeded.” Selected Messages, book 1, 48.
“Bakal aya kabencian anu dipanghurungkeun ngalawan kana Kasaksian-kasaksian anu sifatna satanis. Karya-karyana Sétan bakal dimaksudkeun pikeun ngagoyahkeun iman jamaah-gereja ka éta Kasaksian, ku sabab kieu: Sétan moal bisa boga jalan anu sakitu lega jeung jelasna pikeun ngasupkeun tipu dayana sarta ngabeungkeut jiwa-jiwa dina kasasabanna lamun panginget, tegoran, jeung piwuruk ti Roh Allah diperhatikeun.” Selected Messages, book 1, 48.
The making of none effect, or the rejection of the authority of the “testimony of the Spirit of God” through the writings of Ellen White, is the “very last deception of Satan.” Sister White wrote that she was “shown” that the “1843 chart was directed by the hand of the Lord, and should not be altered.” The previous passage directly associates the rejection of the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy with the vision of the last days, for all the prophets speak most directly of the last days. Therefore when Daniel says in verse fourteen that “the robbers” establish the vision, it is Solomon’s vision of Proverbs 29:18, which says that those who do not have the vision “perish,” and the word “perish” means “to be made naked”.
Pangabatalkeun, atawa nolak kawibawaan “kasaksian Roh Allah” ngaliwatan tulisan-tulisan Ellen White, nya éta “pisan panungtungan panipuan Iblis.” Sister White nyerat yén anjeunna “dipintonkeun” yén “bagan 1843 dipingpin ku panangan Gusti, sarta teu meunang dirobah.” Petikan saméméhna langsung ngahubungkeun panolakan kana kawibawaan Roh Nubuat jeung titingalian ngeunaan poé-poé panungtungan, sabab sakabéh nabi nyarita panglangsungna ngeunaan poé-poé panungtungan. Ku sabab éta, waktu Daniel nyebut dina ayat kaopat welas yén “para garong” netepkeun titingalian, éta téh titingalian Suléman dina Siloka 29:18, anu nyebutkeun yén jalma-jalma anu teu boga titingalian “binasa,” sarta kecap “binasa” hartina “dijadikeun buligir”.
“Perish” is therefore identifying that those who profess to uphold the Spirit of Prophecy in the last days, but who reject the authority represented therein, become naked, and perish, which is a description of the Laodiceans, who are “wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.” They are counseled to buy “white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear.” If they refuse the counsel they are spewed out of the mouth of the Lord.
Ku kituna, “binasa” téh nandakeun yén jalma-jalma anu ngaku ngajaga Roh Nubuat dina poé-poé pamungkas, tapi nolak kawibawaan anu diwakilan di jerona, jadi taranjang, sarta binasa, anu mangrupa pedaran ngeunaan urang Laodikia, anu “sangsara, jeung nalangsa, jeung miskin, jeung lolong, jeung taranjang.” Maranéhna dipapatahan supaya meuli “jubah bodas, supaya hidep dipaparin pakean, sarta éra ku kataranjangan hidep ulah katempo.” Lamun maranéhna nolak éta piwejang, maranéhna dimuntahkeun kaluar tina sungut Gusti.
Thus, we find another witness that this nakedness is manifested just before probation closes. At the soon-coming Sunday law those naked souls will receive the mark of the beast, as they are overthrown, as represented in verse forty-one of Daniel eleven. The reason they will be overthrown is that they rejected the authority of the Spirit of Prophecy, which upholds the 1843 pioneer chart, which represents the foundations of Adventism, and includes the “key” which establishes the vision with the identification that Rome is the power represented as “the robbers of thy people” in verse fourteen.
Ku kituna, urang manggihan deui hiji saksi yén katelanjangan ieu dinyatakeun pas saméméh panto kasempetan ditutup. Dina hukum poé Minggu anu baris geura sumping éta, jiwa-jiwa nu taranjang éta bakal narima tanda sato galak, waktu maranéhna diruntuhkeun, sakumaha digambarkeun dina ayat opat puluh hiji tina Daniel sabelas. Alesan maranéhna bakal diruntuhkeun nyaéta lantaran maranéhna nampik kawibawaan Roh Nubuat, anu ngadukung bagan panaratas taun 1843, anu ngagambarkeun dasar-dasar Adventisme, sarta ngamuat “konci” anu netepkeun éta titingalian ku pangidéntifikasian yén Roma téh kakawasaan anu digambarkeun minangka “jalma-jalma garong ti bangsamu” dina ayat opat belas.
“One thing is certain: those Seventh-day Adventists who take their stand under Satan’s banner will first give up their faith in the warnings and reproofs contained in the Testimonies of God’s spirit.
“Hiji hal geus pasti: jalma-jalma Advent Poé Katujuh anu nangtung dina panji Iblis, mimitina bakal ninggalkeun iman maranéhna kana panggeuing jeung pangregep anu aya dina Kasaksian-kasaksian ti Roh Allah.
“The call to greater consecration and holier service is being made, and will continue to be made. Some who are now voicing Satan’s suggestions will come to their senses. There are those in important positions of trust who do not understand the truth for this time. To them the message must be given. If they receive it, Christ will accept them, and will make them workers together with him. But if they refuse to hear the message, they will take their stand under the black banner of the Prince of Darkness.
“Panggero pikeun pangbakti anu leuwih jero jeung palayanan anu leuwih suci keur ditepikeun, sarta bakal terus ditepikeun. Sababaraha jalma anu ayeuna keur ngedalkeun usulan-usulan Iblis bakal sadar deui.

Lamun maranéhna narimana, Kristus bakal nampa maranéhna, sarta bakal ngajadikeun maranéhna sabatur gawé jeung Mantenna. Tapi lamun maranéhna nolak ngadéngé talatah éta, maranéhna bakal nyokot pihakna di handapeun panji hideung Pangeran Poék.”
“I am instructed to say that the precious truth for this time is open more and more clearly to human minds. In a special sense men and women are to eat of Christ’s flesh and drink of his blood. There will be a development of the understanding, for the truth is capable of constant expansion. The divine originator of truth will come into closer and still closer communion with those who follow on to know him. As God’s people receive his word as the bread of heaven, they will know that his goings forth are prepared as the morning. They will receive spiritual strength, as the body receives physical strength when food is eaten.” Spalding and Magan, 305, 306.
“Kula diparentahkeun pikeun nyarios yén bebeneran anu mulya pikeun waktos ieu beuki kabuka kalayan leuwih écés ka pipikiran manusa. Dina harti anu husus, lalaki jeung awéwé kudu ngadahar daging Kristus sarta nginum getih-Na. Bakal aya pamekaran dina pamahaman, sabab bebeneran sanggup terus-terusan ngalegaan. Pangripta ilahi tina bebeneran bakal sumping kana pakumpulan anu leuwih raket, sarta leuwih raket deui, jeung jalma-jalma anu terus narékahan pikeun wanoh ka Anjeunna.

Maranéhna bakal narima kakuatan rohani, sakumaha awak narima kakuatan jasmani nalika kadaharan didahar.” Spalding and Magan, 305, 306.
In our last article we identified that Uriah Smith was the champion of the rebellion of 1863, for it was he who introduced the counterfeit 1863 chart. The chart he produced in 1863 removed the seven times of Leviticus twenty-six from Laodicean Adventism’s prophetic message, thus marking the beginning of the progressive tearing down of the foundations, and also the beginning of the construction of the counterfeit Laodicean Adventist foundation, which is built upon sand. Later in Advent history, his private interpretation of the king of the north, bore the fruits of his prophetic model as people fled the church.
Dina artikel urang nu pamungkas, urang geus nangtukeun yén Uriah Smith téh jawara tina pabarontakan taun 1863, sabab anjeunna anu ngenalkeun bagan 1863 palsu éta.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7:15–27.
Sing waspada ka nabi-nabi palsu, anu datang ka maraneh maké pakean domba, padahal di jero maranéhna téh ajag nu galak jeung rakus. Maraneh bakal nyaho maranéhna tina buahna.

Hujan turun, caah datang, angin niup, tuluy narajang éta imah; sarta éta imah rubuh; gedé pisan karagragna. Mateus 7:15–27.
The leadership of Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism was passed by in 1989, as assuredly as the leadership of the Jewish church was passed by at the birth of Christ.
Kapamingpinan dina Adventisme Poé Katujuh Laodikia dipaliré dina taun 1989, sakumaha pastina kapamingpinan garéja Yahudi dipaliré dina waktu kalahiran Kristus.
“Men know it not, but the tidings fill heaven with rejoicing. With a deeper and more tender interest the holy beings from the world of light are drawn to the earth. The whole world is brighter for His presence. Above the hills of Bethlehem are gathered an innumerable throng of angels. They wait the signal to declare the glad news to the world. Had the leaders in Israel been true to their trust, they might have shared the joy of heralding the birth of Jesus. But now they are passed by.
“Jalma-jalma teu nyaho kana éta, tapi éta warta ngeusian sawarga ku kabungah. Kalayan kapentingan anu leuwih jero jeung leuwih lemes, mahluk-mahluk suci ti dunya cahaya katarik ka bumi. Sakuliah dunya jadi leuwih caang ku ayana Anjeunna. Di luhur pasir-pasir Betlehem kakumpul hiji rombongan malaikat anu teu kaétang lobana.

“God declares, ‘I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground.’ ‘Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness.’ Isaiah 44:3; Psalm 112:4. To those who are seeking for light, and who accept it with gladness, the bright rays from the throne of God will shine.” The Desire of Ages, 47.
“Allah ngandika, ‘Kami rek ngucurkeun cai ka jalma anu halabhab, jeung banjir ka taneuh anu garing.’ ‘Ka jalma-jalma nu jujur bakal medal cahaya dina poek.’ Yesaya 44:3; Jabur 112:4. Ka jalma-jalma anu keur neangan cahaya, sarta narima eta kalawan kabagjaan, sinar-sinar caang ti tahta Allah bakal nyorot.” The Desire of Ages, 47.
The time of the end in the line of Christ was His birth, and it was then that the message which would test that generation was unsealed. 1989 was the time of the end for the candidates who are called to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Uriah Smith’s prophetic model rejected the foundational truths which are represented on the 1843 chart. Those truths were the “Rock.”
Mangsa ahir dina garis Kristus nyaéta kalahiran-Na, sarta dina mangsa éta pesen anu bakal nguji generasi éta dibuka segélna.

“The warning has come: Nothing is to be allowed to come in that will disturb the foundation of the faith upon which we have been building ever since the message came in 1842, 1843, and 1844. I was in this message, and ever since I have been standing before the world, true to the light that God has given us. We do not propose to take our feet off the platform on which they were placed as day by day we sought the Lord with earnest prayer, seeking for light. Do you think that I could give up the light that God has given me? It is to be as the Rock of Ages. It has been guiding me ever since it was given.” Review and Herald, April 14, 1903.
“Panggeuing geus datang: Teu meunang aya naon-naon anu diidinan asup anu bakal ngaganggu dasar iman anu geus ku urang dijadikeun pondasi pangwangunan ti saprak pesen éta datang dina taun 1842, 1843, jeung 1844.

On September 11, 2001 the latter rain began to sprinkle as the winds representing Islam of the third woe were released, and the Patriot Act marked a transition from English to Roman law prophetically announcing that the flood of the papal power had begun to flow. The final testing process for the house of Laodicean Adventism began, and “the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it”.
Dina 11 Séptémber 2001 hujan panungtung mimiti nyiprat nalika angin anu ngalambangkeun Islam tina cilaka katilu dileupaskeun, sarta Patriot Act nandaan hiji peralihan tina hukum Inggris ka hukum Romawi, anu sacara nubuat ngumumkeun yén caah kakawasaan kapapaan geus mimiti ngocor. Prosés pangujian pamungkas pikeun imah Adventisme Laodikea dimimitian, sarta “hujan turun, sarta caah datang, sarta angin niup, jeung ngagebug kana éta imah; tuluy éta imah rubuh: jeung gedé pisan ragragna”.
The message that the mighty angel announced at that time identified that all nations had drunk the wine of Babylon, and the counterfeit methodology of papal Rome and apostate Protestantism which had been progressively adopted since the rebellion of 1863, is represented by the wine (doctrine) of Babylon.
Pesen anu diumumkeun ku malaikat anu perkasa dina mangsa éta nandakeun yén sakumna bangsa geus nginum anggur Babul, jeung metodologi palsu ti Roma kapapaan jeung Protestanisme murtad anu geus saeutik-saeutik diadopsi saprak pemberontakan taun 1863, dilambangkeun ku anggur (doktrin) Babul.
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. Revelation 18:1–3.
Sanggeus eta, abdi ningali deui malaikat sejen turun ti sawarga, ngabogaan kakawasaan anu ageng; sarta bumi jadi caang ku kamulyaan-Na. Jeung manéhna ngagorowok kalawan sora anu tarik, saurna, “Babilon anu ageng geus ragrag, geus ragrag, sarta geus jadi tempat padumukan sétan-sétan, jeung pangreureuhan unggal roh najis, jeung kurungan unggal manuk anu najis jeung pikageuleuheun. Sabab sagala bangsa geus nginum tina anggur amarah tina cabulna dirina, sarta raja-raja di bumi geus ngalakukeun cabul jeung dirina, sarta padagang-padagang di bumi geus jadi beunghar ku lobana kamewahanana.” Wahyu 18:1–3.
At the disappointment of July 18, 2020, the testing process was over for the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, and the testing process of those who were the candidates to be among the one hundred and forty-four thousand began. When Michael began to awaken those candidates in July of 2023, the message, represented as oil in the parable of Adventism was again unsealed. Whether post September 11, 2001 or post July 2023, there was an outpouring of the oil, and the message that was unsealed in July 2023, when fully developed, is the Midnight Cry message of the parable.
Dina waktos kuciwa tanggal 18 Juli 2020, prosés pangujian pikeun garéja Advent Poé Katujuh Laodikea parantos réngsé, sarta prosés pangujian pikeun jalma-jalma anu jadi calon pikeun kaasup di antara saratus opat puluh opat rébu mimiti lumangsung. Nalika Michael mimiti ngahudangkeun para calon éta dina Juli 2023, pesen anu dina pasemon Adventisme dilambangkeun salaku minyak, dibuka deui meteraina. Boh sanggeus 11 Séptémber 2001 boh sanggeus Juli 2023, aya curahan minyak, sarta pesen anu dibuka meteraina dina Juli 2023, nalika geus mekar sapinuhna, nyaéta pesen Saur Tengah Peuting tina pasemon éta.
It begins in the testing time as the message for the wise and foolish virgins, but it swells to the loud cry message. That message arrives at the soon-coming Sunday law, and when it arrives the second voice of Revelation chapter eighteen calls God’s other flock out of Babylon.
Ieu dimimitian dina mangsa pangujian salaku amanat pikeun para parawan wijaksana jeung parawan bodo, nanging éta ngagedéan jadi amanat sora tarik. Amanat éta sumping dina hukum Minggu anu geura datang, sarta nalika éta sumping sora kadua tina Wahyu pasal dalapan welas nyaur domba-domba Allah anu séjén kaluar ti Babul.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. Revelation 18:4, 5.
Tuluy kuring ngadangu deui sora séjén ti sawarga, saur-Na, Kaluarlah ti dirina, eh umat Kami, supaya maranéh ulah milu kana dosa-dosana, jeung supaya maranéh ulah katarima ku balahi-balahina. Sabab dosa-dosana geus nepi ka sawarga, sarta Allah parantos nginget kana kajahatan-kajahatanana. Wahyu 18:4, 5.
The first voice of verse one through three announced the arrival of a testing time, and the sprinkling of the latter rain then began. The second voice identifies the end of that testing time, and announces the testing time for God’s other flock that is still in Babylon.
Sora anu kahiji dina ayat hiji nepi ka tilu ngumumkeun datangna mangsa pangujian, sarta harita kénéh dimimitian percikan hujan panungtungan. Sora anu kadua nandakeun ahir mangsa pangujian éta, sarta ngumumkeun mangsa pangujian pikeun domba Allah nu séjén anu masih aya di Babul.
“So in the last work for the warning of the world, two distinct calls are made to the churches. The second angel’s message is, ‘Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.’ And in the loud cry of the third angel’s message a voice is heard from heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, my people.’” Review and Herald, December 6, 1892.
“Ku sabab kitu, dina pagawean panungtungan pikeun méré panggeuing ka dunya, aya dua panggero anu béda anu ditepikeun ka gereja-gereja. Amanat malaikat kadua nyaéta, ‘Babul geus runtuh, geus runtuh, eta kota agung, sabab manehna geus ngajadikeun sakumna bangsa nginum anggur amarah tina cabulna.’ Jeung dina sora tarik amanat malaikat katilu kadéngé hiji sora ti sawarga anu nyebut, ‘Kaluarlah ti dinya, umat Kami.’” Review and Herald, 6 Désémber 1892.
It is during the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that Paul’s strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians is accomplished. Whether it was the testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church that began on September 11, 2001 or the testing of the virgins who experienced the disappointment of July 18, 2020, the testing occurs during an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. That outpouring represents a testing message.
Nyaéta dina mangsa pangleleran Roh Suci yén kasasaran anu kuat dina 2 Tesalonika sakumaha anu dipedar ku Paulus téh kalaksanakeun. Boh éta mangrupa pangujian ka garéja Laodikia Masehi Advent Poé Katujuh anu dimimitian dina 11 Séptémber 2001, boh pangujian ka para parawan anu ngalaman kuciwa dina 18 Juli 2020, éta pangujian lumangsung dina mangsa pangleleran Roh Suci. Éta pangleleran ngawakilan hiji amanat pangujian.
“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.
“Anu diurapi anu nangtung di gigireun Pangeran sakuliah bumi, miboga kalungguhan anu kungsi dipasihkeun ka Sétan salaku kerub pananggeuy. Ku mahluk-mahluk suci anu ngurilingan tahta-Na, Pangeran ngajaga komunikasi anu tetep langgeng jeung pangeusi bumi. Minyak emas ngalambangkeun rahmat anu ku Allah dipaké pikeun terus ngeusian palita-palita jalma-jalma anu percaya, sangkan éta palita henteu kedip-kedip tuluy pareum. Lamun lain ku sabab minyak suci ieu dituangkeun ti sawarga dina talatah-talatah Roh Allah, pakakas-pakakas kajahatan bakal sapinuhna ngawasaan manusa.
“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.
“Allah dihina lamun urang henteu narima pamedar-pamedar anu dikirimkeun ku Anjeunna ka urang. Ku kituna urang nampik minyak emas anu badé Anjeunna curahkeun ka jero jiwa urang supaya disalurkeun ka jalma-jalma anu aya dina poék. Nalika panggero éta datang, ‘Lalajo, panganten lalaki datang; geura kaluar pikeun nepungan anjeunna,’ jalma-jalma anu henteu narima minyak suci, anu henteu miara kurnia Kristus dina hate maranéhna, bakal manggihan, saperti parawan-parawan bodo, yén maranéhna henteu siap pikeun nepungan Gustina. Maranéhna henteu miboga, dina dirina sorangan, kakuatan pikeun meunangkeun minyak éta, sarta kahirupan maranéhna ruksak. Tapi lamun Roh Suci Allah dipénta, lamun urang nyuhunkeun kalawan saregep, saperti Musa, ‘Tembongkeun ka abdi kamulyaan-Mantenan,’ kanyaah Allah bakal dicurahkeun ka jero hate urang. Ngaliwatan pipa-pipa emas, minyak emas éta bakal disalurkeun ka urang. ‘Henteu ku kakawasaan, atawa ku kakuatan, tapi ku Roh Kami, saur PANGERAN sarwa bala tentara.’ Ku narima sinar-sinar caang ti Panonpoé Kaadilan, anak-anak Allah ngagenclang minangka cahaya-cahaya di dunya.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.
The sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began on September 11, 2001, and it represents two testing periods. The first is the final testing of the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church, and the second is for those who are the subjects of the parable of the ten virgins. To be either a wise or a foolish virgin requires that all the virgins experience a tarrying time.
Mangsa panyegelan saratus opat puluh opat rébu dimimitian dina 11 Séptémber 2001, sarta éta ngawakilan dua mangsa pangujian. Nu kahiji nyaéta pangujian pamungkas pikeun garéja Masehi Advent Poé Katujuh Laodikia, jeung nu kadua pikeun maranéhanana anu jadi subjek tina pasemon sapuluh parawan. Pikeun jadi boh parawan anu wijaksana boh anu bodo, diperlukeun sangkan sakabéh parawan ngalaman hiji mangsa reureuh.
In Millerite history the tarrying time began with the arrival of the second angel, which occurred at the first disappointment. At that point the Protestants, who were God’s former covenant chosen people were passed by. On July 18, 2020 the former covenant chosen people were passed by, and the testing process that occurred during the tarrying time in the Millerite history began to be repeated. The message of the Midnight Cry was then developed in Millerite history, as it is currently being developed. When it fully arrived at the Exeter Camp meeting it was manifested who had the message (oil) and who did not. The former covenant chosen people of either history is the first to be tested and passed by.
Dina sajarah Millerite, mangsa reureuh mimiti nalika datangna malaikat kadua, anu lumangsung dina kaceuceub kahiji. Dina titik éta, kaum Protestan, anu mangrupa umat pilihan Allah dina perjangjian baheula, dipalingkeun.

“‘A new heart will I give you and a new spirit will I put within you.’ I believe with all my heart that the Spirit of God is being withdrawn from the world, and those who have had great light and opportunities and have not improved them, will be the first to be left. They have grieved away the Spirit of God. The present activity of Satan in working upon hearts, and upon churches and nations should startle every student of prophecy. The end is near. Let our churches arise. Let the converting power of God be experienced in the heart of the individual members, and then we shall see the deep moving of the Spirit of God. Mere forgiveness of sin is not the sole result of the death of Jesus. He made the infinite sacrifice not only that sin might be removed, but that human nature might be restored, rebeautified, reconstructed from its ruins, and made fit for the presence of God.” Selected Messages, book 3, 154.
“‘Kuring baris mere ka maranéh haté anyar jeung nyimpen roh anyar dina jero maranéh.’ Kuring percaya kalayan sagemblengna haté kuring yén Roh Allah keur ditarik mundur ti dunya, jeung jalma-jalma anu geus narima cahaya anu gedé jeung kasempetan-kasempetan, tapi henteu ngamangpaatkeun éta, bakal jadi anu pangheulana ditinggalkeun. Maranéhna geus ngahalangan Roh Allah nepi ka undur. Kagiatan Iblis dina mangsa ayeuna dina mangaruhan haté-haté, jeung kana gereja-gereja sarta bangsa-bangsa, kuduna ngageunjleungkeun unggal nu nalungtik nubuatan. Ahir geus deukeut. Hayu gereja-gereja urang hudang. Hayu kakawasaan Allah anu ngarobah hirup karandapan dina haté unggal anggota, tuluy urang bakal ningali gerak anu jero ti Roh Allah. Panghampura dosa wungkul lain hiji-hijina hasil tina pupusna Yesus. Anjeunna ngalaksanakeun kurban anu taya watesna lain ngan saukur supaya dosa bisa dipiceun, tapi ogé supaya kodrat manusa bisa dipulihkeun, dipapaés deui ku kaéndahan, diwangun deui tina karuksakanana, sarta dijadikeun pantes pikeun ayana Allah.” Selected Messages, buku 3, 154.
In either testing period, those who rejected the message that is unsealed receive Paul’s strong delusion.
Dina salah sahiji mangsa pangudian éta, jalma-jalma anu nolak kana amanat anu geus dibuka segelna nampa kasasab anu kuat sakumaha disebutkeun ku Paulus.
“It is a fearful thing to treat lightly the truth which has convinced our understanding and touched our hearts. We cannot with impunity reject the warnings which God in mercy sends us. A message was sent from heaven to the world in Noah’s day, and the salvation of men depended upon the manner in which they treated that message. Because they rejected the warning, the Spirit of God was withdrawn from the sinful race, and they perished in the waters of the flood. In the time of Abraham, mercy ceased to plead with the guilty inhabitants of Sodom, and all but Lot with his wife and two daughters were consumed by the fire sent down from heaven. So in the days of Christ. The Son of God declared to the unbelieving Jews of that generation, ‘Your house is left unto you desolate.’ Looking down to the last days, the same infinite power declares, concerning those who ‘received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,’ ‘For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.’ As they reject the teachings of His Word, God withdraws His Spirit, and leaves them to the deceptions which they love.” Early Writings, 46.
“Matakna lamun nganggap enteng kana bebeneran anu geus ngayakinkeun pangarti urang jeung nyabak hate urang. Urang moal bisa nampik kalawan henteu meunang hukuman kana panggeuing anu ku Allah dina asih-Na dikirimkeun ka urang. Hiji pesen geus dikirim ti sawarga ka dunya dina jaman Nuh, jeung kasalametan manusa gumantung kana kumaha maranéhna nyanghareupan eta pesen. Ku sabab maranéhna nampik eta panggeuing, Roh Allah ditarik tina bangsa anu dosa, sarta maranéhna binasa ku cai bah. Dina mangsa Ibrahim, rahmat eureun ngadesek ka pangeusi Sodom anu salah, sarta iwal ti Lut jeung pamajikanana katut dua anak awéwéna, sakabéhna dilebur ku seuneu anu diturunkeun ti sawarga. Kitu deui dina jaman Kristus. Putra Allah ngadawuh ka urang Yahudi anu teu percaya dina generasi eta, ‘Imah maraneh ditinggalkeun ka maraneh dina kaayaan suwung.’ Nalika ningali ka poé-poé panungtungan, kakawasaan anu sarua taya watesna nyatakeun, ngeunaan jalma-jalma anu ‘teu narima kanyaah kana bebeneran, supaya maranehna bisa disalametkeun,’ ‘Ku sabab eta Allah bakal ngirim ka maranehna panyasatan anu kacida kuatna, nepi ka maranehna percaya kana kabohongan: supaya sakumna anu teu percaya kana bebeneran, tapi resep kana kajahatan, dihukum.’ Sakumaha maranehna nampik pangajaran tina Firman-Na, Allah narik Roh-Na, sarta ngantepkeun maranehna ka dina panipuan anu maranehna pikanyaah.” Early Writings, 46.
