Palmoni, the Wonderful Numberer doesn’t simply produce riddles based upon mathematics, He is the Creator of mathematics.
帕勒莫尼,那位奇妙的計算者,並不單單按着數學編造謎語;祂乃是數學的創造者。
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:16, 17.
因為萬有都係藉着祂而被造的,無論係天上嘅、地上嘅、可見嘅、不可見嘅,或係寶座、或係主治、或係執政、或係掌權,一切都係藉着祂並為着祂而被造。祂在萬有之先;萬有也靠着祂而立。歌羅西書 1:16, 17.
If you ask AI about the numbers that Palmoni has placed into His prophetic Word and also ask if those numbers hold any significance in the world of mathematics you find that virtually every number of prophecy has a special significance in mathematics. The following list represents fifteen prophetic numbers, given in order of their prominence in the world of mathematics celebrated in number theory, textbooks and the math culture.
如果你問 AI,有關 Palmoni 放置喺祂預言性話語入面嘅數字,並且再問呢啲數字喺數學世界當中係咪亦具有任何意義,你就會發現,預言中幾乎每一個數字喺數學上都具有特殊意義。以下列表列出十五個預言性數字,按住佢哋喺數學世界中嘅顯著程度排序;呢啲數字喺數論、教科書以及數學文化之中都備受推崇。

If you are like me, and are unfamiliar with the world of mathematics you might very well read the list and assume that in the world of mathematics every number has some special legacy, weird nuance or such, but this is not so. As I asked AI for the understanding in the math world of each of these prophetic numbers, I asked one at a time and after the fourth number I asked a follow-up question. I wanted to know if AI was going to give me some legacy historical read out on any number I might ask about, or were the first four truly that significant in the world of math. For the first four numbers were profoundly recognized in the world of math. But it didn’t stop there. AI answered that those first four numbers are genuinely in a unique category in the world of math. As I proceeded through with the information gathering AI began to praise how good I was at picking such stand out numbers in the math world. AI’s last statement to me in response to the last two numbers (19, 65) I inquired about was, “19 fits in beautifully near the top among the superstar primes, while 65 is respectable but lands lower—still a solid pick! Your ability to keep finding notable numbers is seriously impressive. Got another one?”
如果你同我一樣,對數學世界並不熟悉,你好可能會讀完呢份列表,就以為喺數學世界入面,每一個數字都有某種特別嘅傳承、奇特嘅細微含意,諸如此類;但事實並非如此。當我向 AI 詢問呢啲先知性數字喺數學世界之中各自嘅意義時,我係逐個逐個問嘅;去到第四個數字之後,我再追問咗一條後續問題。我想知道,AI 係咪會對我所問嘅任何數字,都講出一段帶有歷史傳承意味嘅解讀;抑或最初嗰四個數字,喺數學世界裏面真係有咁重大嘅意義。因為最初嗰四個數字,喺數學世界中確實受到極深刻嘅確認同重視。但事情並未停喺嗰度。AI 回答話,最初嗰四個數字,喺數學世界中,真真正正屬於一個獨特嘅類別。當我繼續收集資料嘅時候,AI 開始稱讚我好識得揀出數學世界中咁突出嘅數字。AI 就我所查問嘅最後兩個數字(19、65)而對我所講嘅最後一句說話係:「19 極其漂亮噉位列頂尖『超級明星質數』之中,而 65 雖然相當不俗,但排名較低——仍然係一個穩健嘅選擇!你不斷搵到顯著數字嘅能力,實在令人非常印象深刻。仲有另一個嗎?」
I am certain, (though I would not know how to prove my certainty)—there is no other historical witness, of any kind that could be shown to identify this many special mathematical numbers from one source. In the math world these numbers are special, and Jesus employs the natural world to illustrate the spiritual world. Ask an AI source what these numbers represent in the world of mathematics and it will blow your mind. It is beyond my ability to clearly convey these mathematical theories and such, but even with my limited aptitude for mathematical theory I found some of these numbers to bear witness to elements of their prophetic characteristics.
我深信不疑,(雖然我並不知道該如何證明我這份確信)——並不存在任何其他歷史見證,不論屬於何種類別,可以被證明從單一來源辨識出如此眾多特殊的數學數字。在數學領域之中,這些數字乃是特殊的,而耶穌運用自然界來說明屬靈的世界。你若向一個 AI 來源查問這些數字在數學世界中所代表的是甚麼,必會叫你震撼不已。我無能力將這些數學理論之類清楚傳達出來,然而,即使以我對數學理論有限的領悟能力,我仍發現其中一些數字為其先知性特徵的諸元素作見證。
The number 2520 is the smallest number (and numbers go into infinity) that can be divided evenly by every number from 1 to 10 with no remainder. For this reason, in the world of mathematics it is called the least common multiple (LCM) of 1 through 10. Because of that, it has a lot of divisors—48 in total, “more” than any smaller number. This makes it a highly composite number (in mathematics, a special class of numbers that have unusually many divisors).
2520 呢個數字,係最細嘅一個數(而數字係延伸到無窮),能夠畀由 1 到 10 嘅每一個數整除而毫無餘數。因此,喺數學世界入面,佢被稱為 1 至 10 嘅最小公倍數(LCM)。正因如此,佢有好多因數——總共 48 個,比任何更細嘅數都「多」。呢一點使佢成為一個高度合成數(喺數學上,呢係一類特別嘅數,具有異常之多嘅因數)。
The number 2300 has a notable mathematical property similar to 2520’s claim to fame—it’s the smallest positive integer divisible by every integer from 1 to 9 (i.e., the least common multiple of 1 through 9).
2300 呢個數字有一項顯著嘅數學性質,同 2520 之所以聞名嘅特點相似——佢係最細嘅正整數,能夠畀由 1 至 9 嘅每一個整數整除(即係 1 至 9 嘅最小公倍數)。
220 has a famous special classification in number theory—for its one half of the smallest (and most well-known) pair of amicable numbers. In the math world “amicable numbers” are a pair of different numbers where the sum of the proper divisors (all divisors excluding the number itself) of each one equals the other number. They’re considered “perfect friends” in math—the ancient Greeks even saw them as symbols of friendship! The Pair is 220 and 284. This pair (220, 284) is the smallest known “amicable pair,” discovered in ancient times (possibly by Pythagoras or his followers), and it remained the only known one for centuries. 220 as one part of two numbers is understood to be one of the classics in number theory!
220 喺數論之中有一個著名而特殊嘅分類——因為佢係最細(亦都最廣為人知)嘅一對親和數其中之一半。喺數學世界入面,「親和數」係指一對互不相同嘅數:每一個數嘅真因數之和(即係除咗該數本身以外嘅所有因數)都等於另一個數。佢哋喺數學上被視為「完美嘅朋友」——古希臘人甚至視佢哋為友誼嘅象徵!呢一對數就係 220 同 284。呢一對(220,284)係已知最細嘅「親和數對」,喺古代已經被發現(可能係畢達哥拉斯或者佢嘅門徒所發現),而且喺其後幾個世紀之中,一直都係唯一已知嘅一對。220 作為呢兩個數之一部分,一向被視為數論之中其中一個經典例子!
Spiritually the number 220 represents the combination of divinity with humanity and in the math world it represents a pair of “perfect friends.” The mathematical fame of 220, 2300 and 2520 are tied together in the sense that the thing which each of the three numbers are famous for is because they are the smallest of their particular category. Palmoni identifies both the 2520 and the 2300 in verses thirteen and fourteen of Daniel eight, and when 2300 is taken from 2520 there remains 220, so each of these three famous small numbers in the math world are represented in the verses that represent the only time in the Scriptures that Christ identifies Himself as Palmoni.
喺屬靈上,數目220代表神性與人性嘅結合;而喺數學界,佢代表一對「完美朋友」。220、2300同2520喺數學上之所以同樣著名,彼此相連,乃在於呢三個數字各自聞名之處,都係因為佢哋係其各自類別之中最細嘅數。喺《但以理書》第八章第十三同第十四節,Palmoni 指出2520同2300;而當由2520減去2300,就剩下220。因此,呢三個喺數學界著名而且細小嘅數目,都被表現喺嗰啲經文之中;而嗰啲經文,正正就係基督喺聖經中唯一一次以 Palmoni 來表明自己嘅地方。
Unto twenty-three hundred days, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed identifies the beginning of the judgment that began in 1844 with the dead and then moved to the living at 9/11. In verses thirteen and fourteen Palmoni, the Wonderful Numberer combines Moses’ “seven times” with Daniel’s “twenty-three hundred days.”
「直到二千三百日,聖所就必潔淨」,指出那審判之開始:此審判於1844年由死人開始,然後在9/11轉移到活人身上。在第十三及第十四節,帕勒摩尼(那奇妙的數算者)把摩西的「七次」與但以理的「二千三百日」結合起來。
Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
其後我聽見有一位聖者說話,又有另一位聖者對那說話的聖者說:關於常獻的燔祭、那造成荒涼的罪過,以致聖所與軍旅都被踐踏在腳下,這異象要到幾時呢?
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. Daniel 8:13, 14.
他對我說:「到二千三百日,聖所就必潔淨。」但以理書 8:13, 14。
The sanctuary and the host represent a prophetic relationship. The purpose of the sanctuary is that God might dwell among His people.
聖所同軍旅表徵一種先知性嘅關係。聖所嘅目的,乃係要使上帝住喺祂嘅子民中間。
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. Exodus 25:8.
又當為我造聖所,使我可以住在他們中間。出埃及記 25:8。
The sanctuary and the host were to be trodden under foot and the saint asked Palmoni, represented as “that certain saint,” “how long” were both “the sanctuary and the host” to be trodden under foot by the powers represented as “the daily” and “the transgression of desolation?” Two desolating powers who would trample down the sanctuary and the host. Paganism and papalism would both trample down God’s sanctuary and God’s people.
聖所同埋軍旅都要被踐踏;而那位聖者,就是以「那一位聖者」所代表嘅,問帕勒摩尼:「聖所同埋軍旅」要被那以「常獻的」同「使地荒涼的罪過」所代表嘅勢力踐踏到幾時呢?呢兩股使人荒涼嘅勢力,都會踐踏聖所同埋軍旅。異教主義同教皇主義,都會踐踏上帝嘅聖所同上帝嘅子民。
Moses’ “seven times” in Leviticus twenty-six is called “the quarrel of his covenant.” The “seven times” judgment against the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel were the “quarrel of his covenant.” That judgment identified that the northern kingdom would be carried into captivity in 723 BC and the southern kingdom in 677 BC. Palmoni was asked “how long” will the scattering of the “seven times” be carried out upon the sanctuary and the host, and the answer is until October 22, 1844.
摩西在《利未記》二十六章所說的「七倍」,稱為「他立約的爭辯」。臨到以色列北國與南國之「七倍」的審判,乃是「他立約的爭辯」。那審判指出,北國將於主前723年被擄,南國則於主前677年被擄。有人問帕勒摩尼:「這關於聖所與軍旅的『七倍』分散,要到幾時呢?」答案是:直到1844年10月22日。
The “seven times” against the northern kingdom of Israel ended in 1798 and the “seven times” against the southern kingdom ended on October 22, 1844. The “seven times” against the southern kingdom ended with Daniel’s “twenty-three hundred days” on October 22, 1844. Palmoni purposely tied three prophecies together and in doing so he identifies 1798 unto 1844 as the forty-six years that He erected the Millerite temple. The correct understanding of verses thirteen and fourteen allow a student of prophecy to recognize not only the “seven times” and “twenty-three hundred days,” but also the number 220 when considering the relationship of 2520 and 2300, and it also produces the number 46 when considering the relationship of both 2520 prophecies.
對以色列北國所施行嘅「七倍」喺1798年結束,而對南國所施行嘅「七倍」則喺1844年10月22日結束。對南國所施行嘅「七倍」,乃係喺1844年10月22日同但以理嘅「二千三百日」一同結束。帕勒摩尼刻意將三個預言聯繫埋一齊;藉此,佢指出由1798年至1844年呢段時期,正係佢建立米勒派聖殿嘅四十六年。對第十三節同第十四節嘅正確認識,使預言嘅研讀者唔單止能夠辨認出「七倍」同「二千三百日」,亦能夠喺考慮2520同2300之間嘅關係時辨認出220呢個數目;並且喺考慮兩個2520預言之間嘅關係時,亦會得出46呢個數目。
When Moses’ and Daniel’s time prophecies ended together on October 22, 1844, Palmoni simultaneously manifested the symbol of “220” for Daniel’s started in 457 BC and Moses’s in 677 BC, the “220” years between the two starting points for two prophecies that would end together exactly when Habakkuk “2:20” was fulfilled on 10-22 (10X22=220) in 1844. That date marked the beginning of the sounding of the seventh trumpet when the mystery of God was to be finished, thus marking the beginning of a period of time for the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. That date marks the beginning of the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, for the work that is finished during the sounding of the seventh trumpet is the sealing of God’s people, which is the mystery of God, which is Christ in you the hope of glory, which is divinity and humanity combined.
當摩西同但以理嘅時間預言喺1844年10月22日一同終結之時,Palmoni 亦同時顯明咗「220」呢個象徵:對但以理而言,係始於主前457年;對摩西而言,係始於主前677年;即係兩個起點之間相隔「220」年,而呢兩個預言將會一同終結,正正就係喺1844年10月22日,哈巴谷書「2:20」應驗之時(10×22=220)。呢個日期標誌住第七號筒吹響嘅開始,嗰時上帝嘅奧祕將要成全;因此,亦標誌住為十四萬四千人蓋印嘅一段時期嘅開始。呢個日期標誌住十四萬四千人受蓋印嘅開始,因為喺第七號筒吹響期間所完成嘅工作,就係為上帝嘅子民蓋印;呢就係上帝嘅奧祕,就係基督在你們心裏成了榮耀的盼望,就係神性與人性嘅結合。
The ending of the “seven times” of the northern kingdom in 1798 and the ending of the “seven times” of the southern kingdom in 1844 produces a forty-six-year period from 1798 unto 1844. The period begins with the arrival the first angel of Revelation fourteen and it ended when the third angel arrived in 1844. Prophetically this identifies two witnesses that the period from 1798 unto 1844 is a symbolic period. The “seven times” upon the northern and southern kingdoms of Israel concluded in 1798 and 1844 respectively and in doing so they produce a forty-six year period. That period is meaningless without a second witness. Sister White directly teaches that there cannot be a third angel without a first and second. She also directly identifies that the first angel arrived in 1798 and the third on October 22, 1844. The three angels of Revelation fourteen provide second witness to the fact that 1798 unto 1844 is a symbolic prophetic period.
北國「七期」喺1798年終結,而南國「七期」喺1844年終結,因此由1798年至1844年產生咗一段四十六年嘅時期。呢段時期始於《啟示錄》第十四章第一位天使嘅來臨,並於1844年第三位天使來到之時結束。按預言而論,呢一點指出咗兩個見證,證明由1798年至1844年乃係一段象徵性時期。加於以色列北國同南國之上嘅「七期」,分別喺1798年同1844年結束,而因此產生咗一段四十六年嘅時期。若冇第二個見證,呢段時期就毫無意義。懷愛倫姊妹直接教導,若冇第一位同第二位天使,就唔可能有第三位天使。佢亦直接指出,第一位天使喺1798年來到,而第三位天使則喺1844年10月22日來到。《啟示錄》第十四章嘅三位天使,為1798年至1844年乃一段象徵性預言時期呢一事實,提供咗第二個見證。
The number 46 is a symbol of the temple, and when Christ cleansed the temple the first time, we find that the Jews in arguing with Christ, identify that when Herod remodeled the temple it took forty-six years. The historians identify that Herod’s remodeling of which the Jews referred to, finished the year Jesus was baptized. That fact along with the spiritual truth that we are created in God’s image and His image is the temple, which is represented by 46.
四十六呢個數字係聖殿嘅象徵;當基督第一次潔淨聖殿嘅時候,我哋見到猶太人喺同基督爭辯之中指出,希律重修聖殿共用了四十六年。歷史學家指出,猶太人所提到希律嗰次重修,正正喺耶穌受洗嗰一年完工。呢個事實,再加上嗰個屬靈真理——我哋係照着神嘅形像被造,而祂嘅形像就係聖殿,並且由四十六所表徵。
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14.
道成了肉身,住在我們中間,(我們也見過他的榮耀,正是父獨生子的榮耀,)充充滿滿地有恩典,有真理。約翰福音 1:14。
The word translated as “dwelt” means tabernacle. The purpose of the sanctuary was that God might dwell among the host (his people). The Hebrew word “tabernacle” that is translated as “dwelt” is the same word used for the tabernacle erected by Moses, and when Christ first cleansed the temple it is directly stated that Christ body was the temple. The number 46 which is established by correctly understanding what Palmoni is setting forth in the two verses that are the foundation of Adventism is found in John. The 46 years are connected with 220 for those who are willing to see.
譯作「住」的嗰個字,意思即係會幕。聖所嘅目的,係要叫上帝住喺軍旅(即係祂嘅子民)中間。希伯來文「會幕」呢個譯作「住」嘅字,正正就係用嚟指摩西所支搭嘅會幕;而當基督第一次潔淨聖殿嘅時候,經文亦直接指出,基督嘅身體就係殿。藉住正確明白 Palmoni 喺嗰兩節作為復臨信仰根基嘅經文當中所闡明嘅內容,所確立出嚟嘅數字 46,乃係喺《約翰福音》裏面搵到。對於願意看見嘅人而言,呢 46 年係同 220 相連嘅。
And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up. Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
佢嘅門徒就記起經上所記:「我為你嘅殿,心裏焦急,如同火燒。」於是猶太人回答佢,對佢話:「你既作呢啲事,就顯乜嘢神蹟畀我哋睇呢?」
Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. John 2:17–21.
耶穌回答他們說:「你們拆毀這殿,我三日內要把它建立起來。」於是猶太人說:「這殿建了四十六年,你三日內就要把它建立起來嗎?」但耶穌所說的,是以他的身體為殿。約翰福音 2:17–21。
It is in verse twenty, and therefore in John 2:20 that the Jews say, “Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?” The number 46 connected with the temple in a chapter and verse that cries out 220. In the passage the Jews identify the temple was 46 years in building, paralleling the beginning of ancient Israel when Moses was 46 days on the mountain receiving instructions on building the temple. We are made in God’s image, so it is not an accident that the human temple has 46 chromosomes, 23 male and 23 female. The 23 male and female chromosomes are the instructions for building the human temple. Palmoni, who created all things also created the system within the human body which replaces every cell in the human body with fresh and new cells, and the entire rejuvenation of old body cells takes seven years, which is 2520 days. The Jews tie the 46 years to the temple, but Christ spoke of His body which would be raised up in three days. From 1798 unto 1844 the Millerite temple was raised up, and was raised up in the period when the three angels all arrive, and those three angels that span the 46 years from 1798 unto 1844 are represented as days by Christ. He said, “Destroy this temple” and in three days I will raise it up, thus aligning the tearing down of a temple that was to be raised up in three days.
呢句說話見於第二十節,即《約翰福音》2:20,猶太人說:「這殿是四十六年才造成的,你三日內就再建立起來嗎?」四十六呢個數字與聖殿相連,並且出現在一章一節呼喊出220嘅章節經文之中。喺呢段經文裏,猶太人指出聖殿建造咗四十六年,與古代以色列起頭相平行,當時摩西在山上四十六日,領受關於建造聖殿嘅指示。我哋是照着上帝嘅形像所造,因此人體呢座殿有四十六條染色體並非偶然,二十三條男性,二十三條女性。呢二十三條男性與女性染色體,正是建造人體聖殿嘅指示。創造萬有嘅帕勒摩尼,也在人體之內設立咗一個系統,用新鮮而全新嘅細胞替換人體中每一個細胞,而全身舊有細胞嘅完全更新需時七年,即二千五百二十日。猶太人將四十六年與聖殿連繫起來,但基督所講嘅乃是祂嘅身體,將要在三日內被建立起來。由1798年至1844年,米勒派嘅聖殿被建立起來,並且是在三位天使全都來到嘅時期之內被建立起來;而嗰三位天使所跨越、由1798年至1844年嘅四十六年,乃由基督以日數作為表徵。祂說:「你們拆毀這殿」,我三日內要將它建立起來;如此,便使一座將要在三日內被建立起來嘅殿之拆毀,彼此對齊。
Daniel identifies the sanctuary and the host being destroyed in verse thirteen. The northern kingdom represents the host and the southern kingdom the sanctuary, for that is where Jerusalem is. So when the question of the trampling down is expressed, the first of the two entities, (the sanctuary and host) to be carried into captivity was the northern kingdom in 723 BC. 46 years later in 677 BC the “seven times” begins for the southern kingdom of Judah. This means the trampling down of the host ended in 1798 and the trampling down of the sanctuary ended in 1844.
但以理喺第十三節指出,被毀壞嘅係聖所同埋軍旅。北國代表軍旅,南國代表聖所,因為耶路撒冷喺嗰度。所以,當踐踏呢件事被提出嘅時候,呢兩個實體(聖所同軍旅)之中,首先被擄去嘅係北國,喺公元前723年。46年之後,即喺公元前677年,猶大南國嘅「七次」開始。呢即係話,對軍旅嘅踐踏喺1798年結束,而對聖所嘅踐踏喺1844年結束。
Ancient Israel came out of Babylon to rebuild Jerusalem upon three decrees, the third of which began the twenty-three hundred years that concluded with the arrival of the third angel on October 22, 1844. In 1798 the period of spiritual Babylon’s rule as typified by the seventy years that literal Babylon reigned ended and the prophetic period represented by three angels conclude exactly where the prophecy had started at the pronouncement of the third decree.
古代以色列因着三道諭令而從巴比倫出來,重建耶路撒冷;其中第三道諭令開始了二千三百年,並於1844年10月22日隨着第三位天使的來臨而告終。到了1798年,屬靈巴比倫掌權的時期——乃由字面上的巴比倫統治了七十年所預表——便告結束;而由三位天使所代表的預言時期,亦正正終結於那預言起始之處,就是在第三道諭令頒布之時。
The period of three decrees that is the alpha of the 2300 years was repeated in the period of three angels that was the omega of the 2300 days. Both the alpha and omega are the foundational pillars of Adventism, 457 and 1844 illustrate a work of building the temple and Jerusalem.
作為二千三百年之阿拉法嘅三道諭令時期,喺作為二千三百日之俄梅加嘅三位天使時期之中再次重演。阿拉法同俄梅加兩者都係復臨信仰嘅根基柱石;457同1844說明咗一項建造聖殿同耶路撒冷嘅工作。
And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord: Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. Zechariah 6:12, 13.
你要對他說:萬軍之耶和華如此說:看哪,那名為「苗裔」的人;他必從自己之處長起來,並要建造耶和華的殿。就是他必建造耶和華的殿;他必擔負尊榮,坐在其寶座上掌權;又必在其寶座上作祭司;和平的籌謀必存在於兩者之間。撒迦利亞書 6:12, 13.
Christ as the Branch is here identified as He who built the temple of the Lord and just as he was raised up in the third day when the third angel arrived on October 22, 1844 the Millerite temple had been erected by Christ, for it is He who builds the temple of the Lord. Though this was fulfilled in Millerite history its perfect fulfillment is in the time period of the latter rain, for the doubling of the phrase “he shall build the temple of the Lord” allows those who will see that the Lord erected the Millerite temple in 46 years, but that he builds another temple of the one hundred and forty-four thousand during the time of the latter rain, for Peter says that one hundred and forty-four thousand are to raised up as a spiritual house.
基督作為那苗裔,在此被指明為那建造耶和華殿的主;正如祂在第三日被興起,當第三位天使於1844年10月22日來到之時,米勒派的殿已由基督建立起來,因為建造耶和華殿的乃是祂。雖然這事在米勒派的歷史中已得應驗,其完全的應驗卻是在後雨的時期;因為「他必建造耶和華的殿」這句話的重複,容許那些能看見的人明白:主在四十六年之內建立了米勒派的殿,但祂也在後雨期間建造另一座屬於十四萬四千人的殿,因為彼得說,十四萬四千人將被興起,成為屬靈的殿。
When the question of “how long” is asked of Palmoni his answer is “unto twenty-three hundred days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed,” but Moses, Elijah and the Millerites, the papal martyrs, Zechariah and John measuring the temple, Isaiah in chapter six and others unmentioned say the answer to verse thirteen’s question of “how long” is “from 9/11 unto the Sunday law, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.”
當向帕勒摩尼發出「要到幾時」呢個問題時,佢嘅回答係:「到二千三百日,聖所就必潔淨」;但摩西、以利亞、米勒派、教皇制度之下嘅殉道者、撒迦利亞同約翰量度聖殿、以賽亞書第六章,以及其他未有提及者,都表明,第十三節「要到幾時」呢個問題嘅答案係:「由 9/11 直到星期日法案,聖所就必潔淨。」
October 22, 1844 was typified by Abraham offering his son, for that typified the cross where the heavenly Father offered up His Son. Moses and the Hebrews at the Red Sea according to the apostle Paul represented baptism, which typifies the cross, which was typified by Abraham on Mount Moriah with Isaac.
1844年10月22日,乃由亞伯拉罕獻上自己兒子所預表;因那乃預表十字架,在十字架上,天上的父獻上了祂的兒子。按使徒保羅所言,摩西與希伯來人在紅海所代表的乃是浸禮;而浸禮乃預表十字架,這十字架又由亞伯拉罕在摩利亞山與以撒之事所預表。
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea. 1 Corinthians 10:1, 2.
弟兄們,我不願意你們不曉得:我們的祖宗從前都在雲下,都從海中經過;並且都在雲裏、在海裏受洗歸於摩西。哥林多前書 10:1, 2
This of course means that baptism is represented by October 22, 1844 which is where Noah’s family of eight was baptized. “Eight” being a symbol of resurrection.
呢一點當然即係話,浸禮係由1844年10月22日所表徵;喺嗰日,挪亞一家八口受咗浸。「八」乃係復活嘅象徵。
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 3:20, 21.
就係嗰啲從前悖逆的人;當挪亞的日子,神恆久忍耐等待嘅時候,方舟正建造緊;喺方舟裏面,只有少數人,即係八個人,藉着水得救。與此相對應嘅表樣,洗禮如今亦都拯救我哋;呢唔係除掉肉體嘅污穢,乃係向神存着無虧良心嘅答應;乃係藉着耶穌基督嘅復活。彼得前書 3:20, 21。
To misunderstand any element of truth that has been revealed about October 22, 1844 is parallel to misunderstanding the testimony of Noah in the ark, Moses at the Red Sea, Abraham on Mount Moriah and Jesus upon the cross. On that date the third angel arrived into history, and he is the angel that seals God’s people.
對於一八四四年十月二十二日所啟示之任何真理元素有所誤解,乃與誤解方舟中的挪亞、紅海邊的摩西、摩利亞山上的亞伯拉罕,以及十字架上的耶穌之見證相若。就在那一日,第三位天使進入歷史,而他就是那位為上帝子民蓋印的天使。
“I then saw the third angel. Said my accompanying angel, ‘Fearful is his word, awful is his mission. He is the angel that is to select the wheat from the tares, and seal or bind the wheat for the heavenly garner.’ These things should engage the whole mind, the whole attention. Again I was shown the necessity of those who believe we are having the last message of mercy, being separate from those who are daily receiving or imbibing new error. I saw that neither young nor old should attend the assemblies of those who are in error and darkness. Said the angel, ‘Let the mind cease to dwell on things of no profit.’” Manuscript Releases, volume 5, 425.
「跟住我又見到第三位天使。我陪伴我嘅天使話:『佢嘅話可畏,佢嘅使命可怕。佢就係嗰位要將麥子從稗子中分別出嚟,並將麥子印上印記,或者捆紮起來,收進天上倉裡嘅天使。』呢啲事應當吸引全副心思、全副注意力。我又蒙指示,看見凡相信我哋正領受最後慈悲信息嘅人,必須與嗰啲日日接受或吸收新錯謬嘅人分開。我見到,無論老少,都唔應當參加嗰啲處於錯謬同黑暗之中之人嘅聚會。天使話:『要叫心思停止停留喺毫無益處嘅事上。』」《Manuscript Releases》,第5卷,425。
So along with the sacred prophetic lines that typified the date, the third angel arrived and began his work, which includes separating the wise and foolish virgins represented as wheat and tares in the passage. Not understanding how thoroughly 1844 has been sacredly typified, or not knowing what has been revealed concerning the waymarks that were connected to 1844 and continued on to 1863 leaves a soul unprepared to grapple prophetically with the implications of the fact that Christ is the central subject of the two verses that represent the foundation of Adventism, and that there Christ is recognized as Palmoni, the creator of mathematics and everything else.
因此,連同嗰啲預表該日期之神聖先知性脈絡,第三位天使來到,並開始佢嘅工作;呢項工作包括喺該段經文所表徵為麥子同稗子之中,將聰明童女同愚拙童女分別出嚟。若唔明白1844年係何等徹底地被神聖地預表,或者唔知道有關嗰啲與1844年相連、並延續至1863年之路標所已啟示嘅事,一個人嘅心靈就未曾預備好,去喺先知性層面上應對以下事實所包含嘅意義:基督乃係代表復臨信仰根基之兩節經文嘅中心主題,並且喺其中,基督被認明為Palmoni——數學及一切萬有嘅創造者。
The current answer to the question of verse thirteen is different than the answer was in 1845. In 1845 the pioneers were shaking off a great disappointment, beginning to grapple with the idea that the Lord had restored the gift of a prophet as had not been done since the time of the disciples. They were seeking to understand the implication of the message of the third angel, and awakening to the fact that the experience that had just went through was nothing less than sacred history. By 1850 they were offering a new pioneer chart to correct and replace the 1843 pioneer chart. Both the charts were identified by Sister White as being fulfillments of Habakkuk chapter two’s “tables.” This being the case 1850 is an established fulfillment of God’s prophetic Word.
對於第十三節之問題,現今嘅答案,同一八四五年嗰時嘅答案並唔相同。一八四五年,先驅者正從一次極大嘅失望之中擺脫出嚟,開始努力掌握一個觀念:主已經恢復咗先知嘅恩賜,而自門徒時代以來,從未曾有過咁樣嘅事。佢哋正尋求明白第三位天使信息所包含嘅意義,並且醒覺到,佢哋啱啱所經歷過嘅,無非就係神聖歷史本身。到咗一八五〇年,佢哋提出咗一幅新嘅先驅圖表,用以更正並取代一八四三年嘅先驅圖表。懷姊妹曾指出,呢兩幅圖表都係哈巴谷書第二章所講嘅「版」嘅應驗。既然如此,一八五〇年就係神預言之話語一項已確立嘅應驗。
The pioneers understood and wrote that to deny that the 1843 chart was not a fulfillment of Habakkuk chapter two’s “tables” was to leave the original faith. Sister White endorsed the chart as being directed by the hand of the Lord, and as a fulfillment of Habakkuk, and she placed the same endorsement upon the 1850 chart. Habakkuk identifies “tables” in the plural, and when the 1843 chart was printed in May of 1842, it was printed with an error in some of the figures that the Lord held His hand over. In 1850 a new chart was made available which corrected that error in the figures. Habakkuk’s tables represent fulfillments of prophecy, and those prophecies were fulfilled from May 1842 unto January 1850.
先驅者明白並寫明:若否認一八四三年圖表並非哈巴谷書第二章所說之「版」,便是離棄原初的信仰。懷姊妹認可該圖表乃由主的手所引導,並且是哈巴谷預言的應驗;她亦將同樣的認可加於一八五〇年圖表之上。哈巴谷以複數指出「版」,而當一八四三年圖表於一八四二年五月印行時,其中若干數字存有錯誤,然而主曾按手遮蓋。到一八五〇年,一幅新的圖表得以發行,將那些數字上的錯誤更正過來。哈巴谷的「版」乃代表預言的應驗,而那些預言乃是從一八四二年五月直到一八五〇年一月得了應驗。
The 1843 or beginning table had an error and the ending table of 1850 had no error. The period from May of 1842 until January 1850 is an established prophetic period, and May of 1842, and also January 1850 represents prophetic waymarks and those waymarks contain the signature of Alpha and Omega. The alpha or first letter and the omega, the last and twenty-second letter. 1842 is alpha and 1850 is omega, and if we took those two Hebrew letters and placed the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, we would construct the Hebrew word “truth” that is spelled with the first, thirteenth and twenty-second letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
1843年,即起始表,係有錯誤嘅;而1850年嘅終結表則並無錯誤。由1842年5月直到1850年1月呢段時期,乃係一段已確立嘅預言時期;而1842年5月,同樣1850年1月,亦代表預言嘅路標,而呢啲路標內含阿拉法同俄梅戛嘅印記。阿拉法,即第一個字母;俄梅戛,即最後一個、亦即第二十二個字母。1842係阿拉法,1850係俄梅戛;若我哋取呢兩個希伯來字母,再置入希伯來字母表中第十三個字母,便會構成希伯來文「真理」一詞,呢個詞乃由希伯來字母表中第一、第十三同第二十二個字母拼寫而成。
The prophetic logic brought to bear upon the waymarks of 1842 and 1850 is that they are tied together by “error.” The alpha had an error and the omega corrected that very same error, so what stands between the alpha and omega letters is “error” a symbol of rebellion, which is what the number thirteen represents. 1842 to 1850 is an established prophetic period containing the signature of Alpha and Omega and it is the “truth.” Until that history is seriously and spiritually investigated by a Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist they are virtually blinded to the obvious TRUTH which the prophetic period of Habakkuk’s tables from 1842 to 1850 establishes beyond any doubt. The truth that together are established by the two witnesses is that the 1850 chart has no errors. The 1850 chart, as with the 1843 chart contains Moses’ “seven times,” and on both charts the “seven times” is placed in the center of the chart running top to bottom illustrating the period of the “seven times” beginning in 677 BC unto 1844. The 2520 is not simply on the chart, it is the center of the chart.
加諸於1842同1850呢兩個路標之上嘅預言邏輯,就係佢哋係藉着「錯誤」而彼此連繫。阿拉法有一個錯誤,而俄梅嘎糾正咗嗰個完全相同嘅錯誤;因此,處於阿拉法同俄梅嘎兩個字母之間嘅,就係「錯誤」——即係悖逆嘅象徵,而呢正係數字十三所代表嘅意思。1842至1850乃係一段已經確立咗嘅預言時期,帶有阿拉法同俄梅嘎嘅印記,而佢就係「真理」。除非一個老底嘉嘅基督復臨安息日會信徒,嚴肅並且喺屬靈上查考呢段歷史,否則佢哋實際上就會對嗰個顯而易見嘅真理近乎失明;而哈巴谷表自1842至1850呢段預言時期,乃係毫無疑問咁確立咗呢個真理。由兩個見證人一同所建立嘅真理,就係1850圖表並無錯誤。1850圖表,同1843圖表一樣,都包含摩西嘅「七倍」;而喺兩幅圖表之上,「七倍」都被置於圖表中央,自上而下排列,表明「七倍」呢段時期乃係由主前677年開始,直到1844年。2520唔單止係喺圖表之上;佢乃係圖表嘅中心。
What is depicted in the center of the prophetic line illustrating the “seven times” is the cross. The center of both tables is the 2520 timeline running from top to bottom. In the middle is the cross. The cross was the middle of the week Christ confirmed the covenant with many in fulfillment of Daniel nine verse twenty-seven. That week represents seven years, which prophetically is 2520 days. As with the tables, in the very center of the 2520 days, Christ was confirming the covenant on the cross. From Christ’s baptism until the cross was 1260 days prophetically. This means that from the baptism to the cross there would be 1260 morning offerings and 1260 evening offerings leading to the cross, but at the cross that final sacrificial lamb escaped from the priest, and the Lamb of God became the evening sacrifice and thus represented the 2520th Lamb offering since the baptism.
喺描繪「七個時期」嘅先知性線圖中央所表現嘅,乃係十字架。兩塊表嘅中心,都係由上而下運行嘅2520時間線。當中嘅正中,就係十字架。十字架乃係基督照但以理書九章二十七節所言,向多人堅立盟約之「一七」嘅中間。嗰一個七代表七年,按先知性計算,即係2520日。正如嗰兩塊表一樣,喺2520日嘅正中心,基督喺十字架上堅立盟約。由基督受浸直到十字架,按先知性計算乃係1260日。呢個意思即係,由受浸到十字架,將會有1260個晨祭同1260個晚祭引向十字架;但喺十字架上,嗰隻最後作祭牲嘅羊羔從祭司手中逃脫,而神的羔羊就成為晚祭,因此自受浸以來,佢就代表咗第2520次羊羔之獻祭。
The center of the week was the cross and the center of both sacred tables is the cross, but in each case the Lamb is set within the truth symbolically represented by 2520. The cross is set in the middle of 2520 days and at the cross Jesus was the 2520th and last offering. The history between May of 1842 and January 1850 represents error and Christ, the truth was set between two criminals, though He was not a criminal He was being treated as such. We therefore have three criminals, one who will be lost and one who will be saved. The three criminals are three waymarks tied together by crime, though the middle waymark is the opposite of the alpha and omega criminal. The alpha and omega criminals are connected by the middle waymark, the cross.
一週嘅中心係十字架,而兩張聖桌嘅中心亦都係十字架;但喺每一個情況之中,羔羊都被安置喺由2520所象徵表明嘅真理之內。十字架被設立喺2520日嘅正中間,而喺十字架上,耶穌就係第2520個、亦係最後一個祭物。由1842年5月到1850年1月之間嘅歷史,代表錯誤;而基督——真理——被置於兩個罪犯中間,雖然祂並唔係罪犯,卻被當作罪犯看待。因此,我哋有三個罪犯:一個將要滅亡,一個將要得救。呢三個罪犯係三個由罪行聯繫喺一起嘅路標,雖然中間嗰個路標同阿爾法同俄梅戛嘅罪犯正好相反。阿爾法同俄梅戛嘅罪犯,係藉着中間嗰個路標——十字架——而彼此連結。
With Habakkuk’s tables from 1842 unto 1850, error was the middle letter that tied together with the first and last waymark. The middle waymark at the cross tied the three criminals together, but the middle waymark in these is not error, it is Truth, and an element of truth that is upheld by both the cross and Habakkuk’s tables is that the 2520, the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six is truth, and in the context of the logic just set forth, to reject the 2520 is to reject Jesus.
喺哈巴谷自1842年至1850年嘅表中,錯誤乃係中間嘅字母,將首尾兩個路標連繫起來。十字架上居中嘅路標,將三個犯人聯繫在一起;但喺呢啲表中,居中嘅路標並唔係錯誤,而係真理;而十字架同哈巴谷嘅表所共同維護嘅一個真理要素,就係利未記二十六章中嘅2520,即「七次」,乃係真理;並且按住方才所陳明之邏輯脈絡,拒絕2520,就係拒絕耶穌。
When Palmoni, the Wonderful Numberer states, “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed,” He is answering the prophetic question of “how long.” The answer is no longer 1844, for the Philadelphian Millerite movement ceased in 1856 as it was then identified by James and Ellen White that the movement had transitioned from Philadelphia to Laodicea. When Sister White drew that line in the sand. it meant until that condition changed that the relation of God with His people was to be understood as representing a separation, for He stands outside knocking on the hearts of Laodiceans seeking for entrance. His divinity is not within their humanity. The very work Christ began on October 22, 1844 was to combine His divinity with humanity, and Christ was willing to do that very thing, but it was not to be.
當帕勒摩尼,那奇妙的數算者,宣告說:「到二千三百日,聖所就必潔淨」,祂乃是在回答那關於「要到幾時」的預言性問題。這答案已不再是1844年,因為費城時期的米勒派運動於1856年已告終止;當時雅各‧懷愛倫與懷愛倫已指出,該運動已由非拉鐵非轉變為老底嘉。當懷師母劃下那條界線時,這就意味著,直到那種情況改變以前,神與祂子民之間的關係,都當被理解為一種分離;因祂站在外面叩老底嘉人心門,尋求進入。祂的神性並不在他們的人性之內。基督於1844年10月22日所開始的那項工作,正是要將祂的神性與人性結合;而基督原是願意成就這件事的,只是事情並沒有如此發生。
“Had Adventists, after the great disappointment in 1844, held fast their faith and followed on unitedly in the opening providence of God, receiving the message of the third angel and in the power of the Holy Spirit proclaiming it to the world, they would have seen the salvation of God, the Lord would have wrought mightily with their efforts, the work would have been completed, and Christ would have come ere this to receive His people to their reward. But in the period of doubt and uncertainty that followed the disappointment, many of the advent believers yielded their faith. . . . Thus the work was hindered, and the world was left in darkness. Had the whole Adventist body united upon the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, how widely different would have been our history!” Evangelism, 695.
「倘若復臨信徒在1844年大失望之後,仍然堅守他們的信心,並在上帝所展開的攝理中同心前行,領受第三位天使的信息,且靠着聖靈的大能向世人宣講,他們就必看見上帝的救恩;主必大大與他們的努力同工,聖工早已完成,而基督也早已來臨,接祂的子民去領受他們的賞賜。可是,在那次失望之後隨之而來的疑惑與不確定時期中,許多復臨信徒放棄了他們的信心……因此,聖工受了攔阻,世界仍留在黑暗之中。倘若全體復臨信徒都在上帝的誡命和耶穌的真道上聯合一致,我們的歷史將會何等截然不同!」《Evangelism》,695頁。
Repeating the history of ancient Israel the Lord brought modern Israel out of the darkness of Dark Ages and entered into covenant with them at the Red Sea, for baptism is a symbol of covenant relationship. But Israel is to be tested whether they would keep the covenant. With ancient Israel they failed ten tests according to the book of Numbers. At the tenth failure they were condemned to die in the wilderness over forty years, thus providing an example of modern Israel’s rejection of the Laodicean message of 1856. As with ancient Israel’s failure of ten progressive tests (ten being a symbol of a test), from the arrival of the third angel in 1844 unto 1856 a progressive testing process was brought upon the Philadelphian Millerite movement.
主將現代以色列從黑暗時代嘅幽暗之中領出,重演古以色列嘅歷史,並喺紅海與佢哋立約,因為浸禮乃係立約關係嘅表號。但以色列必須受試驗,以察驗佢哋會否遵守呢約。至於古以色列,照《民數記》所載,佢哋喺十次試驗之中都失敗咗。到第十次失敗時,佢哋就被定罪,要喺曠野四十多年之間死去,從而成為現代以色列於1856年拒絕老底嘉信息嘅一個例證。正如古以色列喺十次循序漸進嘅試驗中失敗一樣(十乃係試驗嘅象徵),自1844年第三位天使來到之時起,直到1856年,一個循序漸進嘅試驗過程亦臨到非拉鐵非派嘅米勒派運動。
The ten tests from the Red Sea to the first rebellion at Kadesh is represented as a prophetic period for it has the number ten tying the period together. Ten being a symbol of a test, ten tests identified the ten tribes that rejected the covenant and failed the tenth test and the testing process. The period began at the Red Sea crossing and the Ten Commandments are represented as the first of the ten tests after the sea, the first test being the Sabbath the symbol and seal of the Ten Commandments (represented by the mana). When the period of ten tests in ancient Israel is so clearly set forth as a specific prophetic period and the Spirit of Prophecy informs us that the Red Sea crossing typified October 22, 1844, then we should know that at that point a progressive testing process began. Adventism does not know that, so they are unable to see that in 1863 they were assigned to die in the Laodicean wilderness until the Sunday law, the very law they were given to proclaim a warning about at the very beginning of the testing process that led to 1863.
由紅海至加低斯第一次背叛之間的十次考驗,乃被表明為一段預言性的時期,因為數字十把這段時期聯繫起來。十乃試驗的象徵;這十次考驗指明了那十個拒絕聖約、並在第十次考驗以及整個試驗過程中失敗的支派。這段時期始於過紅海;而十誡則被表明為過海之後十次考驗中的第一次考驗,第一個考驗乃是安息日,就是十誡的象徵與印記(以嗎哪為表徵)。當古以色列這十次考驗的時期如此清楚地被陳明為一段特定的預言時期,而預言之靈又告訴我們,過紅海乃是預表1844年10月22日,那麼我們就應當知道,在那一點上,一個循序漸進的試驗過程已經開始。復臨運動並不知道這一點,所以他們無法看見,在1863年,他們已被判定要死在老底嘉的曠野,直至星期日法令來到;而那條律法,正是他們在導向1863年的整個試驗過程一開始之時,便被交託去宣告警告的那一條律法。
When the pronouncement of the Laodicea condition came upon Millerite Adventism in 1856 “new wine” was published upon the “seven times.” The new light was never accepted and seven years later, or 2520 prophetic days later the Laodicean Millerite movement ended and became the Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist church. Moses was willing to go into the Promised Land, but the tenth test had arrived, and of course it was a foundational test, for the very work assigned to Moses from the outset was to lead God’s people to the Promised Land. That was the work before Moses arrived in Egypt. The tenth test had arrived and the rebels vacillated over entering the Promised Land.
當1856年拉奧底加嘅景況臨到米勒派復臨運動之時,關於「七期」嘅「新酒」亦被發表出嚟。呢道新亮光始終冇被接納;七年之後,即係2520個預言日之後,拉奧底加嘅米勒派運動結束,並成為拉奧底加嘅基督復臨安息日會。摩西本來願意進入應許之地,但第十次試驗已經來到;而且呢次試驗當然係一個根本性嘅試驗,因為自始至終,交託畀摩西嘅工作,正正就係帶領上帝嘅子民進入應許之地。喺摩西到達埃及之前,呢項工作已經擺喺佢面前。第十次試驗已經來到,而那些背叛的人對於是否進入應許之地猶疑不決。
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us. Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged. And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come. And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe. Deuteronomy 1:20–23.
我對你們說:你們已經來到亞摩利人之山,就是耶和華我們的神賜給我們的。看哪,耶和華你的神已將那地擺在你面前;你要照耶和華你列祖之神所對你說的,上去得那地為業;不要懼怕,也不要灰心。你們各人都近前來對我說:我們要先打發人到我們前頭去,為我們窺探那地,回來報告我們,我們當從哪條路上去,又要進入哪些城。這話我以為美;我就從你們中間選取了十二個人,每支派一人。申命記 1:20–23。
From that point until the twelve spies return represents the history when the last foundational test arrived in 1856 and for seven years the Laodicean Millerites search the land until they chose to cease as a movement and become a church.
由嗰時起,直到十二個探子返嚟為止,象徵住自1856年最後嘅根基性試驗臨到之時起嘅歷史;喺其後七年之間,老底嘉時期嘅米勒派遍察嗰地,直到佢哋揀選停止作為一場運動,而成為一間教會。
The first truth discovered by Miller was the “seven times” making it the foundation of the foundational truths that make up Jeremiah’s old paths. The last new prophetic light brought to Adventism was in 1856 and it was a series of articles on the “seven times.” There is a great deal of light associated with a deep study of these historical facts, but if we are going to be able to identify why the answer of verse fourteen of Daniel eight is “from 9/11 unto the Sunday law, then shall the sanctuary be cleansed,” we must keep moving forward.
米勒所發現嘅第一個真理,乃係「七期」;佢使呢一點成為構成耶利米古道之各項基礎真理嘅根基。最後一項帶畀復臨信仰嘅新先知性亮光,係喺1856年出現嘅,一系列關於「七期」嘅文章。對呢啲歷史事實作深入研究,係附帶極多亮光嘅;但若我哋要能夠辨明點解但以理書第八章第十四節嘅答案係「由9/11直到星期日法案,然後聖所就必得潔淨」,我哋就必須繼續向前。
The work which Christ began in 1844 was turned aside in 1863, so the “cleansing” of the sanctuary that began at that time was put on hold while God’s people began to traverse the wilderness of Laodicea. For this reason, the work that was to be accomplished by Christ in the period of 1844 to 1863, was of necessity to be repeated when the third angel, who is the angel who separates and seals ultimately accomplishes the work represented by “cleansing.” The prophetic waymarks of 1844 to 1863 are the waymarks in which Christ would have accomplished the work of cleansing the sanctuary, and those waymarks represent the history where the work will be accomplished. If it can be shown that 1844 unto 1863 represents the period of 9/11 unto the Sunday law, the question of “how long” is in agreement with the other lines represented by “how long.”
基督於1844年所開始嘅工作,喺1863年被岔開咗,因此,當時所開始嘅聖所「潔淨」工作,便被擱置,與此同時,上帝嘅子民開始行經老底嘉嘅曠野。正因如此,基督原本要喺1844年至1863年期間所完成嘅工作,當第三位天使——即嗰位分別並施行印記嘅天使——最終成就「潔淨」所表徵嘅工作之時,就必然需要重複一次。1844年至1863年嘅預言路標,乃係基督本會完成聖所潔淨工作嘅路標,而呢啲路標亦表徵嗰段工作將會被完成嘅歷史。如果能夠證明1844年至1863年係代表由9/11直到星期日法令嘅時期,咁麼,「要到幾時呢」呢個問題,就同其他由「要到幾時呢」所代表嘅路線彼此一致。
1844 was the arrival of the third angel and 1863 marks the end of the testing period. In 1846 the Whites were married and Ellen’s last name changed from Harmen to White, and the married couple began to keep the seventh-day Sabbath in that year. The Sabbath, marriage and a name change are all symbols of a covenant relationship prophetically. The Lord brought modern Israel through the Red Sea of 1844 and in 1846 brought them to Sinai to give them the law and enter into covenant with them. That law as with Habakkuk’s two tables is written upon two tables, the first table contains 4 laws and the second table contains 6. Two tables represent the covenant relation of both ancient and modern Israel and together the two tables of the covenant that is the Ten Commandments and is marked as 46 symbolically for ancient Israel, typified Habakkuk’s two tables who represent the history of the latter rain. Together with the two wave loaf offerings of Pentecost, they represent the ensign that is the one hundred and forty-four thousand.
1844年乃第三位天使之來臨,而1863年則標誌着試驗時期的終結。1846年,懷氏夫婦成婚,愛倫的姓氏由哈門改為懷特;同年,這對夫婦開始遵守第七日安息日。按預言而論,安息日、婚姻及名字之改變,皆是立約關係的象徵。主帶領現代以色列經過1844年的紅海,並於1846年把他們帶到西奈山,賜下律法,且與他們立約。這律法如同哈巴谷的兩塊法版一般,乃寫於兩塊法版之上:第一塊法版包含四條誡命,第二塊則包含六條。兩塊法版代表古代以色列與現代以色列二者的立約關係;而這兩塊約版,就是十誡,並以46作為古代以色列在象徵上的記號,乃預表哈巴谷的兩塊法版;後者則代表晚雨的歷史。再加上五旬節的兩個搖祭餅,它們共同代表那面大旗,就是十四萬四千人。
When Sister White’s name changed from Harmen to White. Harmen means a soldier of peace, but it was replaced with White, which is the righteousness of Christ. The name Gould means gold, and Ellen means a bright and shining light. Her name represents the Laodicean message.
當懷師母嘅姓氏由 Harmen 改為 White 嘅時候,Harmen 嘅意思係和平嘅士兵,但呢個姓氏畀 White 所取代;White 就係基督嘅義。Gould 呢個名字嘅意思係金,而 Ellen 嘅意思係明亮照耀嘅光。佢嘅名字代表老底嘉嘅信息。
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see. Revelation 3:18.
我勸你向我買火中鍛鍊過的金子,叫你可以富足;又買白衣穿上,叫你赤身的羞恥不至顯露;又用眼藥擦你的眼睛,叫你能看見。啟示錄 3:18。
The “eye salve” is the light of God’s Word, and Ellen is a bright and shining light. The safety for the Millerites in 1856 was to be found in receiving the message to Laodicea as presented through her writings, and as represented in her name. Sister White is clear that the 1888 message of Jones and Waggoner was the Laodicean message, and that their message was also the third angels’ message.
「眼藥」乃是上帝聖言之光,而 Ellen 乃是一道明亮照耀之光。對於 1856 年之米勒派而言,其安全之道,乃在乎領受那藉着她的著作所呈現、並藉着她的名字所象徵之老底嘉信息。懷姊妹清楚表明,1888 年 Jones 與 Waggoner 所傳的信息,乃是老底嘉的信息,而他們的信息亦即第三位天使的信息。
“The Lord in His great mercy sent a most precious message to His people through Elders Waggoner and Jones. … This is the message that God commanded to be given to the world. It is the third angel’s message, which is to be proclaimed with a loud voice, and attended with the outpouring of His Spirit in a large measure.” Testimonies to Ministers, 91.
「主喺祂偉大嘅憐憫中,藉住瓦格納長老同瓊斯長老,向祂嘅子民發出咗一個極其寶貴嘅信息。……呢個就係上帝吩咐要傳畀世界嘅信息。呢個就係第三位天使嘅信息,係要用大聲宣告,並且伴隨住祂嘅靈大大澆灌。」《傳道人證言》,91頁。
The third angel arrived in 1844, and he attempted his work a second time in 1888. The message of 1888 was the Laodicean message, it was the third angel’s message, it marked the descent of the angel of Revelation eighteen, it was the message of justification by faith which is proclaimed during the outpouring of the latter rain. The third angel arrived in 1844 and then again in 1888, only to be rejected in both instances, but both instances typify when the third angel arrives at the time of the latter rain. 1844 is a symbol of 9/11, and if 1863 typifies the Sunday law, then the prophetic period of “9/11 to the Sunday law” as represented by the symbol of “how long” would represent the present truth answer to verse thirteen’s question of “how long.”
第三位天使於1844年來到,而他於1888年第二次嘗試作工。1888年的信息乃是老底嘉的信息;那是第三位天使的信息;那標誌着《啟示錄》第十八章那位天使的降臨;那也是在晚雨傾降期間所宣講、因信稱義的信息。第三位天使於1844年來到,其後又於1888年再來,卻在兩次當中都遭拒絕;然而,這兩次都預表第三位天使於晚雨時期來到的情形。1844年乃是9/11的象徵;而若1863年預表星期日法案,那麼由「9/11至星期日法案」這一先知時期,正如「要到幾時呢」這個象徵所表明的,就代表了對第十三節「要到幾時呢」這個問題之現代真理的回答。
The Millerite history from 1842 unto 1850 is a prophetic period that overlaps the prophetic period of the testing of the third angel from 1844 to 1863. 1842 onward to 1863 possesses prophetic waymarks that illustrate the history of 9/11 unto the Sunday law when Christ cleanses his temple, first His church and thereafter the eleventh-hour workers. At the Sunday law, Christ will have a purified people to present to the world as an ensign offering and the church will become the church triumphant. His sanctuary will then have been cleansed.
由1842年至1850年嘅米勒派歷史,乃係一段先知性時期,並且與1844年至1863年間第三位天使受試驗嘅先知性時期互相重疊。由1842年起至1863年,具備先知性嘅路標,表明由9/11直到星期日法令之歷史;喺嗰時,基督潔淨祂嘅殿,首先潔淨祂嘅教會,其後潔淨第十一個鐘頭嘅工人。到咗星期日法令之時,基督將有一班被潔淨嘅子民,可以作為旗幟性嘅獻呈向世界展示,而教會亦將成為得勝嘅教會。到嗰時,祂嘅聖所就已經被潔淨。
We have placed the symbol of “how long” in place, though there is of course more. We will begin to bring this and the previous five articles back into the lens of the book of Joel, but these side diversions seemed important to put in place. The testimony of every “how long” we have considered agrees with the question of “how long” which Palmoni answered in verse fourteen, for the sanctuary is to be cleansed from 9/11 unto the Sunday law. That history is the history of the latter rain and the history of the latter rain is set forth in the book of Joel.
我哋已經將「到幾時」呢個表號安放妥當,當然,當中仲有更多內容。我哋將會開始把呢一點,以及前面五篇文章,重新帶返到約珥書嘅視野之中;不過,呢啲旁支嘅岔題,似乎係有其必要,先行安放好。凡我哋所考察過每一個「到幾時」嘅見證,都同帕勒摩尼喺第十四節所回答嘅「到幾時」呢個問題一致,因為聖所將要由9/11開始,直到星期日法令,而得潔淨。呢段歷史,就係晚雨嘅歷史;而晚雨嘅歷史,正係喺約珥書當中陳明出嚟。
