The passage we considered in the previous article said that, “the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit” of Revelation chapter eighteen, “will not come until we have an enlightened people, that know by experience what it means to be laborers together with God.” But the promise is that when “we have entire, whole-hearted consecration to the service of Christ, God will recognize the fact by an outpouring of his Spirit without measure.” The identification of the “great outpouring” infers a lesser outpouring (a measuring).
Kifungu tulichokizingatia katika makala iliyotangulia kilisema kwamba, "umwagiko mkuu wa Roho Mtakatifu" wa Ufunuo sura ya kumi na nane, "hautakuja hadi tutakapokuwa na watu waliotiwa nuru, wanaojua kwa uzoefu maana ya kuwa wafanyakazi pamoja na Mungu." Lakini ahadi ni kwamba wakati "tunapokuwa na kujitoa wakfu kikamilifu, kwa moyo wote, kwa utumishi wa Kristo, Mungu atalitambua jambo hilo kwa umwagiko wa Roho wake usio na kipimo." Utambulisho wa "umwagiko mkuu" unaashiria umwagiko mdogo (kwa kipimo).
On September 11, 2001, the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descended, but “the largest portion of the church” were then, and still “are not laborers together with God.” Between September 11, 2001, and the point when God identifies the fact there is finally a group who have attained to “entire, whole-hearted consecration to the service of Christ,” the latter rain is “measured,” the judgment of the living occurs, and judgment begins with the house of God.
Tarehe 11 Septemba 2001, malaika hodari wa Ufunuo kumi na nane alishuka, lakini "sehemu kubwa ya kanisa" wakati huo, na hata sasa bado, "si watenda kazi pamoja na Mungu." Kati ya tarehe 11 Septemba 2001 na wakati Mungu anapotambua ukweli kwamba hatimaye kuna kundi lililofikia "wakfu kamili, wa moyo wote, kwa huduma ya Kristo," mvua ya mwisho "inapimwa," hukumu ya walio hai hufanyika, na hukumu huanza na nyumba ya Mungu.
Revelation chapter eighteen, identifies two voices, which Sister White informs us are two calls to the churches. The second voice (call), is the call out of Babylon that occurs at the soon-coming Sunday law. The first voice arrived on September 11, 2001. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit that then began was “measured,” for Christ first needed to cleanse the people He would ultimately pour out the Holy Spirit upon “without measure”, as He lifted them up as an ensign in the hour of the great earthquake. That group needed to be purified before the second voice of Revelation eighteen sounded, for they are to be those who would proclaim that message.
Ufunuo sura ya kumi na nane unatambua sauti mbili, ambazo Dada White anatufahamisha kuwa ni miito miwili kwa makanisa. Sauti ya pili (wito) ni mwito wa kutoka Babeli unaotokea wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili inayokuja hivi karibuni. Sauti ya kwanza ilifika tarehe 11 Septemba 2001. Kumwagwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu kulikoanza wakati huo kulikuwa "kupimwa", kwa kuwa Kristo kwanza alihitaji kuwatakasa watu ambao hatimaye angewamwagia Roho Mtakatifu "bila kipimo", alipowainua kama ishara katika saa ya tetemeko kubwa la nchi. Kundi hilo lilihitaji kutakaswa kabla sauti ya pili ya Ufunuo sura ya kumi na nane isikike, kwa kuwa wao ndio watakaotangaza ujumbe huo.
At the first disappointment in the spring of 1844, the Protestants became apostate Protestants and the faithful who then found themselves in the tarrying time, represented the temple of those who were formerly not the people of God. On September 11, 2001, the mighty angel of Revelation eighteen descended, and the first step in the cleansing and raising up of God’s last-day temple began, and it began with the testing of Laodicean Adventism. On July 18, 2020, the second step of the testing process began. At Christ’s baptism the process of separating ancient Israel began as Christ then selected the first disciples, which were the foundation of the Christian temple that He was erecting in that history.
Katika masikitiko ya kwanza ya majira ya kuchipua ya mwaka 1844, Waprotestanti wakawa Waprotestanti waliopotoka na waaminifu ambao wakati huo walijikuta katika kipindi cha kusubiri, waliwakilisha hekalu la wale ambao hapo awali hawakuwa watu wa Mungu. Tarehe 11 Septemba 2001, malaika mwenye nguvu wa Ufunuo kumi na nane alishuka, na hatua ya kwanza katika mchakato wa kutakasa na kusimamisha hekalu la Mungu la siku za mwisho ilianza, nayo ilianza kwa kuujaribu Uadventista wa Laodikia. Tarehe 18 Julai 2020, hatua ya pili ya mchakato wa kujaribiwa ilianza. Katika ubatizo wa Kristo mchakato wa kuitenganisha Israeli ya kale ulianza, kwa kuwa Kristo kisha alichagua wanafunzi wa kwanza, ambao walikuwa msingi wa hekalu la Kikristo alilokuwa akilisimamisha katika historia hiyo.
At the beginning of his three and a half year ministry, Christ cleansed the temple, which He identified as “His Father’s house,” and at the end of His ministry, when He had cleansed the temple the second and final time, His pronouncement was “your house is left unto you desolate.” The previous covenant people had been passed by and His new covenant people were established as “His Temple”. At the Sunday law the corporate structure of the Seventh-day Adventist church will be desolate.
Mwanzoni mwa huduma yake ya miaka mitatu na nusu, Kristo alikitakasa hekalu, ambacho alikitambua kuwa "nyumba ya Baba yake," na mwishoni mwa huduma yake, alipokuwa amekitakasa hekalu kwa mara ya pili na ya mwisho, tamko lake lilikuwa "nyumba yenu imeachwa kwenu ukiwa." Watu wa agano la awali walikuwa wameachwa kando, na watu wake wa agano jipya waliwekwa kama "Hekalu lake". Wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili, muundo wa kitaasisi wa Kanisa la Waadventista Wasabato utakuwa ukiwa.
“The prophet says, ‘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’ (Revelation 18:1, 2). This is the same message that was given by the second angel. Babylon is fallen, ‘because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication’ (Revelation 14:8). What is that wine?—Her false doctrines. She has given to the world a false sabbath instead of the Sabbath of the fourth commandment, and has repeated the falsehood that Satan first told Eve in Eden—the natural immortality of the soul. Many kindred errors she has spread far and wide, ‘teaching for doctrines the commandments of men’ (Matthew 15:9).
Nabii anasema, ‘Niliona malaika mwingine akishuka kutoka mbinguni, mwenye mamlaka kuu; nayo nchi ikang’aa kwa utukufu wake. Akalia kwa sauti kuu, akisema, Babeli ule mkuu umeanguka, umeanguka, nao umekuwa maskani ya mashetani’ (Ufunuo 18:1, 2). Huu ndio ujumbe ule ule uliotolewa na malaika wa pili. Babeli imeanguka, ‘kwa sababu amewanywesha mataifa yote divai ya ghadhabu ya uasherati wake’ (Ufunuo 14:8). Divai hiyo ni nini? Mafundisho yake ya uongo. Amewapa dunia Sabato ya uongo badala ya Sabato ya amri ya nne, naye amerudia uongo ambao Shetani alimwambia Hawa kwa mara ya kwanza huko Edeni, kutokufa kwa asili kwa nafsi. Makosa mengine mengi yanayofanana ameyaeneza kwa upana na mbali, ‘akifundisha mafundisho yaliyo maagizo ya wanadamu’ (Mathayo 15:9).
“When Jesus began His public ministry, He cleansed the Temple from its sacrilegious profanation. Among the last acts of His ministry was the second cleansing of the Temple. 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’ (Revelation 14:8). And in the loud cry of the third angel’s message a voice is heard 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).” Review and Herald, December 6, 1892.
"Yesu alipoanza huduma Yake ya hadharani, alitakasa Hekalu kutokana na unajisi wa kukufuru. Miongoni mwa matendo ya mwisho ya huduma Yake kulikuwa na kulitakasa Hekalu kwa mara ya pili. Hivyo, katika kazi ya mwisho ya kuonya ulimwengu, miito miwili tofauti hutolewa kwa makanisa. Ujumbe wa malaika wa pili ni, 'Babeli imeanguka, imeanguka, mji ule mkuu, kwa kuwa amewanywesha mataifa yote divai ya hasira ya uasherati wake' (Ufunuo 14:8). Na katika kilio kikuu cha ujumbe wa malaika wa tatu sauti inasikika kutoka mbinguni ikisema, 'Tokeni kwake, watu wangu, msishiriki dhambi zake, wala msipokee mapigo yake. Kwa kuwa dhambi zake zimefika hata mbinguni, na Mungu amekumbuka maovu yake' (Ufunuo 18:4, 5)." Review and Herald, Desemba 6, 1892.
The first temple cleansing aligns with the first voice of Revelation chapter eighteen, and the second voice is the loud cry that calls God’s other flock out of Babylon. Verses one through three were fulfilled when the great buildings of New York City were thrown down. That happened on September 11, 2001, and the first temple cleansing, or the first of two calls to the churches was made. The first call began at Christ baptism, when the Holy Spirit came down out of heaven and the test for ancient Israel began. On August 11, 1840, the first temple cleansing, or the first of two calls to the churches was made to the Millerite movement.
Utakaso wa kwanza wa hekalu unalingana na sauti ya kwanza ya Ufunuo sura ya kumi na nane, na sauti ya pili ni kilio kikuu kinachoita kundi lingine la Mungu litoke Babeli. Mistari ya kwanza hadi ya tatu ilitimia wakati majengo makubwa ya Jiji la New York yaliangushwa. Hilo lilitokea Septemba 11, 2001, na utakaso wa kwanza wa hekalu, au wito wa kwanza kati ya miwili kwa makanisa, ulitolewa. Wito wa kwanza ulianza katika ubatizo wa Kristo, wakati Roho Mtakatifu alishuka kutoka mbinguni na jaribio kwa Israeli ya kale lilipoanza. Tarehe 11 Agosti, 1840, utakaso wa kwanza wa hekalu, au wito wa kwanza kati ya miwili kwa makanisa, ulitolewa kwa harakati ya Wamilleraiti.
At that time, the latter rain and the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began, in conjunction with the final scenes of the Investigative Judgment. In those final scenes the work of Christ is represented as His blotting out the sins of the faithful from the book of sins, or the blotting out of the names of the professed Christians from the book of life. That period of time is the period of the sprinkling of the latter rain, for God will only pour out the Holy Spirit without measure when the church is pure. At the Sunday law, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit will be without measure.
Wakati huo, mvua ya vuli na kutiwa muhuri kwa wale elfu mia arobaini na nne vilianza, sambamba na matukio ya mwisho ya Hukumu ya Uchunguzi. Katika matukio hayo ya mwisho, kazi ya Kristo inaonyeshwa kuwa ni kufuta kwake dhambi za waaminifu kutoka katika kitabu cha dhambi, au kufuta majina ya wale wanaodai kuwa Wakristo kutoka katika kitabu cha uzima. Kipindi hicho ndicho kipindi cha kunyunyiziwa kwa mvua ya vuli, maana Mungu atamimina Roho Mtakatifu bila kipimo tu kanisa litakapokuwa safi. Wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili, kumiminwa kwa Roho Mtakatifu kutakuwa bila kipimo.
“What are you doing, brethren, in the great work of preparation? Those who are uniting with the world are receiving the worldly mold and preparing for the mark of the beast. Those who are distrustful of self, who are humbling themselves before God and purifying their souls by obeying the truth these are receiving the heavenly mold and preparing for the seal of God in their foreheads. When the decree goes forth and the stamp is impressed, their character will remain pure and spotless for eternity.” Testimonies, volume 5, 216.
"Mnafanya nini, ndugu, katika kazi kubwa ya maandalizi? Wale wanaoungana na dunia wanapokea umbo la kidunia na kujiandaa kwa alama ya mnyama. Wale wasiojitumainia, wanaojinyenyekeza mbele za Mungu na kutakasa roho zao kwa kuitii kweli, hao wanapokea umbo la mbinguni na kujiandaa kwa muhuri wa Mungu katika vipaji vya nyuso zao. Amri itakapotolewa na chapa itakapowekwa, tabia yao itabaki safi na isiyo na doa milele." Testimonies, juzuu ya 5, 216.
“The work of the Holy Spirit is to convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. The world can only be warned by seeing those who believe the truth sanctified through the truth, acting upon high and holy principles, showing in a high, elevated sense, the line of demarcation between those who keep the commandments of God, and those who trample them under their feet. The sanctification of the Spirit signalizes the difference between those who have the seal of God, and those who keep a spurious rest-day. When the test comes, it will be clearly shown what the mark of the beast is. It is the keeping of Sunday. Those who after having heard the truth, continue to regard this day as holy, bear the signature of the man of sin, who thought to change times and laws.” Bible Training School, December 1, 1903.
Kazi ya Roho Mtakatifu ni kuuthibitishia ulimwengu hatia kuhusu dhambi, haki na hukumu. Ulimwengu unaweza kuonywa tu kwa kuwaona wale waaminio ukweli wakiwekwa wakfu kwa njia ya ukweli, wakitenda kwa kanuni za juu na takatifu, wakiweka wazi, kwa namna ya juu na yenye adhama, mpaka kati ya wale wanaozishika amri za Mungu na wale wanaozikanyaga chini ya miguu yao. Kutakaswa na Roho hubainisha tofauti kati ya wale walio na muhuri wa Mungu na wale wanaoshika siku ya mapumziko bandia. Jaribu litakapokuja, itaonyeshwa kwa uwazi ni nini chapa ya mnyama. Ni kushika siku ya Jumapili. Wale ambao, baada ya kusikia ukweli, wanaendelea kuichukulia siku hii kuwa takatifu, hubeba saini ya mtu wa dhambi, aliyedhani kubadili nyakati na sheria. Bible Training School, 1 Desemba 1903.
Isaiah identifies the “day of the east wind,” which he also identifies as the “rough wind,” that is restrained (stayeth), as the point when “the measuring” begins.
Isaya anatambua "siku ya upepo wa mashariki," ambayo pia anaiita "upepo mkali" uliozuiliwa (stayeth), kuwa wakati ambapo "upimaji" unaanza.
In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up. Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof. When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will show them no favour. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem. Isaiah 27:6–13.
Kwa kiasi, ikichipuka, utabishana nayo; huizuia pepo yake kali katika siku ya upepo wa mashariki. Kwa sababu hii basi, uovu wa Yakobo utatakaswa; na hili ndilo tunda lote la kuondoa dhambi yake; atakapoyafanya mawe yote ya madhabahu kuwa kama mawe ya chokaa yaliyopondwapondwa, maashera na sanamu hazitasimama. Hata hivyo mji wenye ngome utakuwa ukiwa, makao yataachwa, na kuachwa kama jangwa; ndama atachunga humo, naye atalalia humo, na kula matawi yake. Matawi yake yanapokauka, yatakatwa; wanawake huja na kuyatia moto; kwa kuwa ni watu wasio na ufahamu; kwa hiyo yeye aliyewaumba hatawarehemu, na yeye aliyewaunda hatawaonyesha fadhili. Na itakuwa katika siku hiyo, Bwana atapepeta kutoka mkondo wa mto hata kijito cha Misri, nanyi mtakusanywa mmoja mmoja, enyi wana wa Israeli. Na itakuwa katika siku hiyo, tarumbeta kuu itapigwa, nao watakuja waliokuwa karibu kuangamia katika nchi ya Ashuru, na waliotupwa katika nchi ya Misri, nao watamwabudu Bwana katika mlima mtakatifu huko Yerusalemu. Isaya 27:6-13.
The “east wind” is the power that sinks the “ships of Tarshish” and brings judgment upon the whore of Tyre. The “east wind” is the power that causes the kings to be afraid. The “east wind” is what brought the “blasting” blight upon Egypt, that produced the seven years of famine, as Joseph and Pharaoh brought the entire world (Egypt), into bondage, and it was the “east wind” that brought the “locusts” that ate up everything during the deliverance from Egypt. Islam is the “east wind.”
"Upepo wa mashariki" ndio nguvu iliyozizamisha "meli za Tarshishi" na kuleta hukumu juu ya kahaba wa Tiro. "Upepo wa mashariki" ndio nguvu inayowafanya wafalme waogope. "Upepo wa mashariki" ndio nguvu iliyoleta balaa la "kuunguza" juu ya Misri, lililosababisha miaka saba ya njaa, wakati Yusufu na Farao walipouleta ulimwengu wote (Misri) utumwani, na ilikuwa ni "upepo wa mashariki" ulioleta "nzige" waliokula kila kitu wakati wa ukombozi kutoka Misri. Uislamu ndio "upepo wa mashariki".
The reform movements of Bible prophecy establish that each reform movement has its own peculiar theme. The theme of the reform movement of the one hundred and forty four thousand is Islam. On September 11, 2001, Islam of the third Woe attacked the earth beast, and George W. Bush, “the second”, immediately placed a restraint upon the “east wind.” At that event, as Sister White records, when the great buildings of New York City are brought down, Revelation eighteen, verses one through three were fulfilled. Those three verses represent the first of two voices in Revelation chapter eighteen. The second voice is located in verse four, and it identifies the call out of Babylon, which begins at the Sunday law in the United States. Islam of the third woe, is restrained by the four angels of Revelation chapter seven, while the one hundred and forty-four thousand are sealed.
Harakati za mageuzi za unabii wa Biblia zinathibitisha kwamba kila harakati ya mageuzi ina mada yake mahsusi. Mada ya harakati ya mageuzi ya mia na arobaini na nne elfu ni Uislamu. Tarehe 11 Septemba, 2001, Uislamu wa Ole wa tatu uliushambulia mnyama wa nchi, na George W. Bush, “wa pili”, mara moja akaweka kizuizi kwa “upepo wa mashariki”. Katika tukio hilo, kama Dada White anavyorekodi, majengo makubwa ya Jiji la New York yalipoangushwa, Ufunuo kumi na nane, mistari moja hadi tatu, ulitimia. Mistari hiyo mitatu inawakilisha sauti ya kwanza kati ya sauti mbili katika Ufunuo sura ya kumi na nane. Sauti ya pili imo katika mstari wa nne, nayo inatambulisha wito wa kutoka Babeli, unaoanza wakati wa sheria ya Jumapili nchini Marekani. Uislamu wa Ole wa tatu unazuiliwa na malaika wanne wa Ufunuo sura ya saba, wakati mia na arobaini na nne elfu wanatiwa muhuri.
“The Lord God is a jealous God, yet He bears long with the sins and transgressions of His people in this generation. If the people of God had walked in His counsel, the work of God would have advanced, the messages of truth would have been borne to all people that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Had the people of God believed Him and been doers of His word, had they kept His commandments, the angel would not have come flying through heaven with the message to the four angels that were to let loose the winds that they should blow upon the earth crying, Hold, hold the four winds that they blow not upon the earth until I have sealed the servants of God in their foreheads. But because the people are disobedient, unthankful, unholy, as were ancient Israel, time is prolonged that all may hear the last message of mercy proclaimed with a loud voice. The Lord’s work has been hindered, the sealing time delayed. Many have not heard the truth. But the Lord will give them a chance to hear and be converted, and the great work of God will go forward.” Manuscript Releases, volume 15, 292.
Bwana Mungu ni Mungu mwenye wivu, ilhali huvumilia kwa muda mrefu dhambi na maasi ya watu wake katika kizazi hiki. Lau watu wa Mungu wangekwenda katika shauri lake, kazi ya Mungu ingalisonga mbele; ujumbe wa kweli ungekuwa umefikishwa kwa watu wote wanaokaa juu ya uso wa dunia yote. Lau watu wa Mungu wangalimwamini na kuwa watendaji wa neno lake, lau wangalishika amri zake, yule malaika asingalikuja akiruka mbinguni akiwa na ujumbe kwa wale malaika wanne waliokuwa karibu kuziachia pepo zipulize juu ya dunia, akipaza sauti: “Zuieni, zuieni pepo nne, zisipulize juu ya dunia, hata nitakapowatia muhuri watumishi wa Mungu katika vipaji vya nyuso zao.” Lakini kwa sababu watu hawatii, hawana shukrani, na si watakatifu, kama Israeli ya kale, muda umeongezwa ili wote wasikie ujumbe wa mwisho wa rehema unaotangazwa kwa sauti kuu. Kazi ya Bwana imekwamishwa, wakati wa kutiwa muhuri umecheleweshwa. Wengi hawajasikia ukweli. Lakini Bwana atawapa nafasi ya kusikia na kuongoka, na kazi kuu ya Mungu itasonga mbele. Manuscript Releases, juzuu ya 15, 292.
Those who are sealed, are sealed before the Sunday law, for the world can only be warned, and therefore called out of Babylon, by seeing men and women in the Sunday law crisis with the seal of God. The sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began on September 11, 2001, but the sealing time was delayed.
Wale wanaotiwa muhuri hutiwa muhuri kabla ya sheria ya Jumapili, kwa maana dunia inaweza tu kuonywa, na hivyo kuitwa itoke Babeli, kwa kuwaona wanaume na wanawake katika mzozo wa sheria ya Jumapili wakiwa na muhuri wa Mungu. Kutiwa muhuri kwa wale elfu mia arobaini na nne kulianza tarehe 11 Septemba 2001, lakini wakati wa kutiwa muhuri ulicheleweshwa.
All the prophets are addressing the last generation, and this passage is directly referenced to the final generation. In this final generation God’s people did not “walk in His counsel,” and for that reason the sealing time was hindered and delayed. It was delayed and hindered by the beast from the bottomless pit in Revelation chapter eleven, that murdered the two prophets. That beast in the time of the French Revolution was atheism, and it typified the atheistic movement introduced by those who introduced the “woke-ism,” that is now confronting the world, into the movement of Future for America, and then Future for America ceased to walk in God’s counsel and allowed the influence of those who promoted their modern homosexual agenda, in conjunction with others who promoted the setting of time, to hinder the sealing time.
Manabii wote wanalihutubia kizazi cha mwisho, na kifungu hiki kinarejelewa moja kwa moja kwa kizazi cha mwisho. Katika hiki kizazi cha mwisho watu wa Mungu hawakutembea katika "shauri Lake," na kwa sababu hiyo wakati wa kutiwa muhuri ulizuiliwa na kucheleweshwa. Ulicheleweshwa na kuzuiliwa na yule mnyama atokaye katika shimo lisilo na mwisho katika Ufunuo sura ya kumi na moja, aliyewaua manabii wawili. Mnyama huyo wakati wa Mapinduzi ya Ufaransa alikuwa ukanamungu, na alikuwa mfano wa harakati ya ukanamungu iliyoletwa na wale walioutambulisha "woke-ism", ambalo sasa linaukabili ulimwengu, ndani ya harakati ya Future for America. Kisha Future for America ikaacha kutembea katika shauri la Mungu na ikaruhusu ushawishi wa wale waliotetea ajenda yao ya kisasa ya ushoga, kwa kushirikiana na wengine waliotetea kuweka wakati, kuzuia wakati wa kutiwa muhuri.
“Much that has been revealed to me crowds upon my mind, which I hardly know how to express. Yet I cannot hold my peace. The Lord is indignant at men who set themselves up to rule their fellow-men, and to carry out plans which the Holy Spirit has condemned. I am more surprised than I can express at your failure to discern that God has not set up these men. The new order of things ought to alarm you, for it had not the sanction of heaven.
Mengi yaliyofunuliwa kwangu yanajazana akilini mwangu, nami karibu sijui jinsi ya kuyaeleza. Hata hivyo, siwezi kukaa kimya. Bwana anaghadhibika na watu wanaojitwika mamlaka ya kuwatawala wenzao, na kutekeleza mipango ambayo Roho Mtakatifu ameihukumu. Ninashangazwa kuliko ninavyoweza kueleza kwa kushindwa kwenu kutambua kwamba Mungu hajawasimika watu hawa. Mpangilio mpya wa mambo unapaswa kuwastua, kwa maana haukuwa na idhini ya mbinguni.
“The natural heart is not to bring its own tainted, corrupting principles into the work of God. There must be no concealing of the principles of our faith. The third angel’s message is to be sounded by God’s people. It is to swell to the loud cry. The Lord has a time appointed when he will bind off the work; but when is that time? When the truth to be proclaimed for these last days shall go forth as a witness to all nations, then shall the end come. If the power of Satan can come into the very temple of God, and manipulate things as he pleases, the time of preparation will be prolonged.
Moyo wa asili haupaswi kuleta kanuni zake zilizotiwa doa, zinazopotosha, katika kazi ya Mungu. Kanuni za imani yetu zisifichwe kamwe. Ujumbe wa malaika wa tatu unapaswa kutangazwa na watu wa Mungu. Unapaswa kuongezeka hadi kuwa kilio kikuu. Bwana ana wakati aliouweka wa kuhitimisha kazi; lakini ni lini huo wakati? Wakati ile kweli iliyokusudiwa kutangazwa katika siku hizi za mwisho itakapotangazwa kama ushuhuda kwa mataifa yote, ndipo mwisho utakapokuja. Ikiwa nguvu za Shetani zinaweza kuingia ndani ya hekalu lenyewe la Mungu, na kuyaendesha mambo apendavyo, muda wa maandalizi utarefushwa.
“Here is the secret of the movements made to oppose the men whom God sent with a message of blessing for his people. These men were hated. The men and God’s message were despised, as verily as Christ himself was hated and despised at his first advent. Men in responsible positions have manifested the very attributes that Satan has revealed. They have sought to rule minds, to bring their reason and their talents under human jurisdiction. There has been an effort to bring God’s servants under the control of men who have not the knowledge and wisdom of God, or an experience under the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Principles have been born that should never have seen the light of day. The illegitimate child should have been stifled as soon as it breathed the first breath of life. Finite men have been warring against God and the truth and the Lord’s chosen messengers, counterworking them by every means they dared to use. Please consider what virtue there came in the wisdom and plans of those who have slighted God’s messages, and, like the scribes and Pharisees, have despised the very men whom God has used to present light and truth which his people needed.” The 1888 Materials, 1525.
Hii ndiyo siri ya harakati zilizofanywa kupinga watu ambao Mungu aliwatuma na ujumbe wa baraka kwa ajili ya watu wake. Watu hawa walichukiwa. Watu hao na ujumbe wa Mungu walidharauliwa, kama vile kweli Kristo mwenyewe alivyochukiwa na kudharauliwa katika ujio wake wa kwanza. Watu walioko katika nyadhifa za uwajibikaji wameonyesha tabia zilezile ambazo Shetani amezidhihirisha. Wametafuta kutawala akili, kuleta hoja zao na vipaji vyao chini ya mamlaka ya kibinadamu. Kumekuwa na jitihada za kuwaweka watumishi wa Mungu chini ya udhibiti wa watu ambao hawana maarifa na hekima ya Mungu, wala uzoefu wa kuongozwa na Roho Mtakatifu. Kanuni zimezaliwa ambazo hazikupaswa kabisa kuona mwanga wa mchana. Mtoto haramu alipaswa kuzimwa mara tu alipovuta pumzi ya kwanza ya uhai. Wanadamu wenye mipaka wamekuwa wakipigana dhidi ya Mungu na kweli na wajumbe walioteuliwa na Bwana, wakipinga kazi yao kwa kila njia waliyothubutu kuitumia. Tafadhali zingatia ni wema gani uliopatikana katika hekima na mipango ya wale waliopuuza ujumbe wa Mungu, na ambao, kama waandishi na Mafarisayo, wamewadharau wale hasa ambao Mungu amewatumia kuwasilisha nuru na kweli ambayo watu wake waliihitaji. Nyaraka za 1888, 1525.
The sealing time that began on September 11, 2001, was hindered for the representatives of Satan were allowed to come into the “very temple of God.” The issue that should be seen here is that from 1798 unto 1844, the Millerite temple was erected, and on October 22, 1844, the messenger of the covenant suddenly came unto his temple. The temple and the host had been trampled down by the papacy for twelve hundred and sixty years, and when the papacy received its deadly wound Christ began the work of erecting the Millerite temple, and the symbol of the temple is the number forty-six, on several witnesses.
Wakati wa kutiwa muhuri ulioanza tarehe 11 Septemba 2001, ulikwamishwa kwa kuwa wawakilishi wa Shetani waliruhusiwa kuingia katika "hekalu lenyewe la Mungu." Suala linalopaswa kuonekana hapa ni kwamba kuanzia 1798 hadi 1844, hekalu la Wamilerite lilijengwa, na tarehe 22 Oktoba 1844, mjumbe wa agano alikuja ghafla hekaluni kwake. Hekalu na jeshi vilikuwa vimekanyagwa na upapa kwa miaka elfu moja mia mbili na sitini, na upapa ulipopata jeraha lake la mauti Kristo akaanza kazi ya kulijenga hekalu la Wamilerite, na ishara ya hekalu ni nambari arobaini na sita, kulingana na mashahidi kadhaa.
On August 11, 1840, the angel of Revelation ten descended, and the judgment of Protestantism began. That history is repeated to the very letter.
Mnamo tarehe 11 Agosti 1840, malaika wa Ufunuo sura ya kumi alishuka, na hukumu ya Uprotestanti ikaanza. Historia hiyo inajirudia neno kwa neno.
In the Scriptures it is the “east wind” that sinks the ships of Tarshish, and brings down that great city Tyrus, and causes the kings and merchants to three times cry out, “woe, woe” (alas, alas). But in the passage of Isaiah we are considering, the day of the “east wind” is the day when God “stayeth his rough wind.” In this passage the “east wind” is held in check, so as to not prevent the work of the third angel; a work that is accomplished during the time of the latter rain. In this passage the subject of the “east wind” that is held in check, is identifying the latter rain, the work of the third angel, and the gathering out of God’s other children in Babylon. In that time period, the four angels are holding the four winds, during the time of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
Katika Maandiko ni "upepo wa mashariki" unaozizamisha merikebu za Tarshishi, na kuuangusha ule mji mkuu Tiro, na kuwafanya wafalme na wafanyabiashara walie mara tatu, "ole, ole" (ole, ole). Lakini katika sehemu ya Isaya tunayozingatia, siku ya "upepo wa mashariki" ni siku ambayo Mungu "anazuia upepo wake mkali." Katika kifungu hiki "upepo wa mashariki" unashikiliwa ili usizuie kazi ya malaika wa tatu; kazi inayotimizwa wakati wa mvua ya mwisho. Katika kifungu hiki suala la "upepo wa mashariki" unaozuiliwa linabainisha mvua ya mwisho, kazi ya malaika wa tatu, na kukusanywa kwa watoto wengine wa Mungu walioko Babeli. Katika kipindi hicho, malaika wanne wanazishikilia pepo nne, wakati wa kutiwa muhuri kwa wale mia moja arobaini na nne elfu.
And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. Revelation 7:1–3.
Na baada ya mambo haya nikaona malaika wanne wamesimama kwenye pembe nne za dunia, wameshikilia pepo nne za dunia, ili upepo usivume juu ya nchi, wala juu ya bahari, wala juu ya mti wowote. Kisha nikaona malaika mwingine akikwea kutoka mashariki, akiwa na muhuri wa Mungu aliye hai; akapaza sauti kuu akiwaambia wale malaika wanne, ambao walipewa kuidhuru nchi na bahari, akisema, Msiidhuru nchi, wala bahari, wala miti, hata tutakapokuwa tumewatia muhuri watumishi wa Mungu wetu katika vipaji vya nyuso zao. Ufunuo 7:1-3.
The staying of the “east wind,” the holding of the “angry nations” and the holding of the “four winds” all occur during the latter rain, for it is the period of the latter rain that the seal of God is placed upon His people. The four winds that are being restrained by the four angels are a symbol of Islam.
Kusitishwa kwa “upepo wa mashariki,” kuzuiwa kwa “mataifa yenye hasira,” na kuzuiwa kwa “pepo nne” vyote hutokea wakati wa mvua ya mwisho, kwa maana ni katika kipindi cha mvua ya mwisho ndipo muhuri wa Mungu unawekwa juu ya watu Wake. Pepo nne zinazozuiliwa na malaika wanne ni ishara ya Uislamu.
“Angels are holding the four winds, represented as an angry horse seeking to break loose and rush over the face of the whole earth, bearing destruction and death in its path.
Malaika wanazuia pepo nne, zilizowakilishwa kama farasi mwenye hasira anayetaka kujivunja huru na kukimbia juu ya uso wa dunia yote, akileta uharibifu na mauti katika njia yake.
“Shall we sleep on the very verge of the eternal world? Shall we be dull and cold and dead? Oh, that we might have in our churches the Spirit and breath of God breathed into His people, that they might stand upon their feet and live. We need to see that the way is narrow, and the gate strait. But as we pass through the strait gate, its wideness is without limit.” Manuscript Releases, volume 20, 217.
“Je, tulale kwenye ukingo wenyewe wa ulimwengu wa milele? Je, tuwe wazito wa ufahamu na baridi na wafu? Laiti tungalikuwa katika makanisa yetu na Roho na pumzi ya Mungu ikivuvizwa ndani ya watu Wake, ili wapate kusimama juu ya miguu yao na kuishi. Tunahitaji kuona kwamba njia ni nyembamba, na lango ni jembamba. Lakini tunapopita katika lango lile jembamba, upana wake hauna kikomo.” Manuscript Releases, juzuu la 20, 217.
We will consider these realities further in the next article, for it is “in the days of these kings”, represented by the eighth kingdom of Bible prophecy, that “is of the seven” kingdoms, that God sets up an everlasting kingdom.
Tutazichunguza hali halisi hizi zaidi katika makala inayofuata, kwa maana ni “katika siku za wafalme hawa”, wanaowakilishwa na ufalme wa nane wa unabii wa Biblia, ambao “ni wa zile falme saba”, ndipo Mungu atauweka ufalme wa milele.
And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. Daniel 2:44, 45.
Na katika siku za wafalme hao Mungu wa mbinguni atasimamisha ufalme, ambao hautaangamizwa kamwe; wala ufalme huo hautaachwa kwa watu wengine, bali utazivunja vipande vipande na kuziteketeza falme hizi zote, nao utasimama milele. Kwa kuwa uliona ya kwamba jiwe lilikatwa kutoka mlimani pasipo mikono, na ya kwamba lilivunja vipande vipande chuma, shaba, udongo, fedha, na dhahabu; Mungu mkuu amemjulisha mfalme yatakayotokea baadaye; na ndoto hiyo ni ya hakika, na tafsiri yake ni thabiti. Danieli 2:44, 45.
