Five Hidden Months
Izinyanga Ezinhlanu Ezifihliwe
The message of Islam as represented by verse ten was presented in connection with the time set forth in verse fifteen by Josiah Litch in 1838. At that point there were elements of the prophecy that were hidden from Litch’s view. By August 1, 1840, Litch published a more thorough presentation, based upon what had been revealed to him after 1838 from the message of “five months.” In 1838 part of Revelation nine’s message of “five months” had been hidden from Litch. The hidden portion of the prophecy of five months was unsealed to Litch before 1840, and the unsealing produced the manifestation of the power of God from 1840 to 1844.
Umyalezo wobuSulumane, njengoba ufanekiselwa evesini leshumi, wethulwa nguJosiah Litch ngo-1838 uhlotshaniswa nesikhathi esishiwo evesini leshumi nanhlanu. Ngaleso sikhathi kwakunezingxenye zesiprofetho ezazifihlekile kuLitch. Kwathi kufika umhla lu-1 kuNcwaba 1840, uLitch wayeseshicilele isethulo esiningiliziwe ngokwengeziwe, esasisekelwe kulokho ayekwambulelwe ngemva kuka-1838 emyalezweni othi “izinyanga ezinhlanu.” Ngo-1838, ingxenye yomyalezo othi “izinyanga ezinhlanu” osesahlukweni sesishiyagalolunye seSambulo yayifihlekile kuLitch. Ingxenye eyayifihlekile yesiprofetho sezinyanga ezinhlanu yavulelwa uLitch ngokususwa kophawu ngaphambi kuka-1840, futhi lokho kususwa kophawu kwabangela ukubonakaliswa kwamandla kaNkulunkulu kusukela ngo-1840 kuya ku-1844.
The five months of verse five was hidden until 2026. When Elisabeth came out of five months of hiding, she was joined by Mary. Mary aligns the five months of hiding with the parable of the ten virgins, for, unlike Elisabeth, Mary was a pregnant virgin and Elisabeth was a pregnant woman beyond the age to bear children. Both were miracle births in their own way, but Mary was a virgin. All the prophets speak of the end of the world, and the virgins represented by Mary in the latter days are the five wise virgins who make up the Philadelphian movement of the third angel who are numbered as one hundred and forty-four thousand. Elisabeth and Mary meet in the sixth month after Elisabeth’s five months of hiding. The five months of verse five was hidden until 2026.
Izinyanga ezinhlanu zevesi lesihlanu zazifihliwe kwaze kwaba ngu-2026. Lapho u-Elisabethe ephuma ekucasheni kwakhe kwezinyanga ezinhlanu, uMariya weza waba naye. UMariya uqondanisa izinyanga ezinhlanu zokucasha nomfanekiso wezintombi eziyishumi, ngoba, ngokungafani no-Elisabethe, uMariya wayeyintombi ekhulelwe, kanti u-Elisabethe wayengowesifazane okhulelwe owayeseweqile iminyaka yokuzala abantwana. Kokubili lokhu kuzalwa kwakuyisimangaliso, ngakunye ngendlela ehlukile, kodwa uMariya wayeyintombi. Bonke abaprofethi bakhuluma ngokuphela kwezwe, futhi izintombi ezimelelwa nguMariya ezinsukwini zokugcina ziyizintombi ezinhlanu ezihlakaniphile ezakha inhlangano yaseFiladelfiya yengelosi yesithathu, ezibalwa ziyizinkulungwane eziyikhulu namashumi amane nane. U-Elisabethe noMariya bahlangana ngenyanga yesithupha ngemva kwezinyanga ezinhlanu zokucasha kuka-Elisabethe. Izinyanga ezinhlanu zevesi lesihlanu zazifihliwe kwaze kwaba ngu-2026.
When John was born, Mary returned to Nazareth, and Zacharias was no longer dumb. Mary was with Elisabeth until the door closed at the Sunday law, when prophecy speaks. Zacharias is the alpha waymark that is made dumb and also the omega waymark who speaks at the birth of his son. Zacharias is at the beginning and the ending, representing both the first and third angels. Elisabeth is the second angel’s message, and Mary is the midnight cry message that joins Elisabeth at the end of the five months of hiding.
Lapho uJohane ezalwa, uMariya wabuyela eNazaretha, futhi uZakariya wayengasesona isimungulu. UMariya wayeno-Elisabethe kwaze kwavalwa umnyango ngesikhathi somthetho weSonto, lapho isiprofetho sikhuluma khona. UZakariya uwuphawu lwendlela lwe-alfa olwenziwa isimungulu, futhi uwuphawu lwendlela lwe-omega olukhuluma lapho kuzalwa indodana yakhe. UZakariya usekuqaleni nasekupheleni, emele kokubili ingelosi yokuqala nengelosi yesithathu. U-Elisabethe uyisigijimi sengelosi yesibili, kanti uMariya uyisigijimi sokumemeza kwaphakathi kwamabili esihlangana no-Elisabethe ekupheleni kwezinyanga ezinhlanu zokucasha.
Noah’s family of eight was hidden in the ark for five months, and then the ark rested on Mount Ararat. The midnight cry joined the second angel at Exeter and continued until the door closed on October 22, 1844, in fulfillment of the parable of the ten virgins. Mary joined Elisabeth at Exeter and continued until the birth of John.
Umndeni kaNowa, owawunabantu abayisishiyagalombili, wawufihlwe emkhunjini izinyanga ezinhlanu, kwase kuthi umkhumbi wahlala eNtabeni i-Ararati. Isimemezelo saphakathi kobusuku sahlangana nengelosi yesibili e-Exeter futhi saqhubeka kwaze kwaba yilapho umnyango uvalwa mhla zingama-22 kuMfumfu 1844, kugcwaliseka umfanekiso wezintombi eziyishumi. UMariya wahlangana no-Elisabethe e-Exeter futhi waqhubeka kwaze kwaba sekuzalweni kukaJohane.
The message that was hidden from Litch in 1838 was the message of “five months.” The hiding of five months is represented by eight people in the ark; it is Elisabeth hiding during her first five months of pregnancy. It was the Lord holding His hand over the five months in 1838, until He removed His hand from the five months, allowing Litch to publish the date ten days before its fulfillment. When the message of five months is unsealed in the latter days, as it is now being set forth, you are at the six days of the Exeter camp meeting, from the 12th to 17th of August, 1844, that were followed by sixty-six days to the closed door of October 22, 1844. There were seventy-two days, but when they are placed in a prophetic line and the waymarks are then isolated, it can be seen that the sign of the siege represented by the Exeter camp meeting was six days that were followed by sixty-six days until the closed door. Prophetically the period is represented as 6 6 6.
Umlayezo owawufihlelwe uLitch ngo-1838 wawungumlayezo “wezinyanga ezinhlanu.” Ukufihlwa kwezinyanga ezinhlanu kufanekiselwa ngabantu abayisishiyagalombili abasemkhunjini; kungukuzifihla kuka-Elisabeth phakathi nezinyanga ezinhlanu zokuqala zokukhulelwa kwakhe. KwakuyiNkosi eyayibeke isandla saYo phezu kwezinyanga ezinhlanu ngo-1838, yaze yasisusa isandla saYo kulezo zinyanga ezinhlanu, ivumela uLitch ukuba ashicilele usuku kusasele izinsuku eziyishumi ngaphambi kokugcwaliseka kwalo. Lapho kuphulwa uphawu lomlayezo wezinyanga ezinhlanu ezinsukwini zokugcina, njengoba wethulwa manje, usuke usezinsukwini eziyisithupha zomhlangano wamatende wase-Exeter, kusukela mhla ziyi-12 kuya mhla ziyi-17 kuNcwaba, 1844, ezalandelwa yizinsuku ezingamashumi ayisithupha nesithupha kwaze kwaba semnyango ovaliwe wangomhla zingama-22 kuMfumfu, 1844. Kwakunezinsuku ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa nambili, kodwa lapho zibekwa emgqeni wesiprofetho bese izimpawu zendlela zihlukaniswa, kungabonakala ukuthi isibonakaliso sokuvinjezelwa esasifanekiselwa ngumhlangano wamatende wase-Exeter sasiyizinsuku eziyisithupha ezalandelwa yizinsuku ezingamashumi ayisithupha nesithupha kwaze kwaba semnyango ovaliwe. Ngokwesiprofetho le nkathi ivezwa ngokuthi 6 6 6.
The history of the siege as represented by Exeter unto October 22 is represented by Cain’s sixth generation Lamech. The door is closed just after the prophecy of five months is unsealed. It closes progressively, but the progression for Adventism began at 9/11, and it ends at the siege. When the siege arrives, you will manifest the character of either Lamech of Cain or Lamech of Seth. The number of that history for Lamech of Cain is 6 6 6, and the number for Lamech of Seth and the church triumphant is 7 7 7.
Umlando wokuvinjezelwa njengoba ufanekiselwa yi-Exeter kuze kube ngumhla zingama-22 kuMfumfu ufanekiselwa nguLameki, owesizukulwane sesithupha sikaKayini. Umnyango uyavalwa ngemva nje kokuba isiprofetho sezinyanga ezinhlanu sesivulwe uphawu. Uvaleka kancane kancane, kodwa le nqubo yokuvaleka kubu-Adventist yaqala ngo-9/11, futhi iphela ekuvinjezelweni. Lapho ukuvinjezelwa kufika, uyobonakalisa isimilo sikaLameki wozalo lukaKayini noma esikaLameki wozalo lukaSeti. Inombolo yalowo mlando ngokuqondene noLameki wozalo lukaKayini ingu-6 6 6, kanti inombolo kaLameki wozalo lukaSeti neyebandla elinqobile ingu-7 7 7.
The manifestation of the two characters represented by the two Lamechs and by 666 or 777 begins with the events that propel Adventism into the public’s attention as the question is raised about why Adventists were silent about the warning of the fireballs of Nashville. The escalating controversy becomes a visual demonstration in advance of the closed door of the soon-coming Sunday law that was typified by the animals ascending the ramp into the ark. The escalating visual warning was also typified by the experience of Elijah on Mount Carmel and by the Millerite movement of 1844.
Ukubonakaliswa kwezimilo ezimbili ezimelelwa ngoLameki ababili nangezinombolo ezithi 666 noma 777 kuqala ngezenzakalo ezidonsela ukunaka komphakathi ebu-Adventist, njengoba kuphakama umbuzo wokuthi kungani ama-Adventist ayethule ngesixwayiso esimayelana namabhola omlilo aseNashville. Impikiswano ekhula ngamandla iba yisiboniso esibonakalayo esandulela umnyango ovaliwe womthetho wangeSonto ozofika maduze, owafanekiselwa yizilwane ezazikhuphuka ngerempu zingena emkhunjini. Lesi sixwayiso esibonakalayo esikhula ngamandla safanekiselwa futhi yilokho u-Eliya abhekana nakho eNtabeni iKarmeli nayinhlangano yabalandeli bakaMiller yango-1844.
The Prophetic Structure of the Siege
Isakhiwo Esingokwesiprofetho Sokuvinjezelwa
The prophetic structure of a siege that ends at the destruction of the city represents a period of time that begins with a sign and ends with a sign. It represents a period of time and a point in time. The period of the formation of the image is represented in a variety of ways. Every prophetic structure of this nature in the inspired testimony is typifying the image of the beast testing time that culminates with the mark of the beast.
Uhlaka lwesiprofetho lokuvinjezelwa okuphela lapho kubhujiswa umuzi lumelela inkathi yesikhathi eqala ngesibonakaliso futhi iphele ngesibonakaliso. Lumelela inkathi yesikhathi kanye nesikhathi esithile esiqondile. Inkathi yokwakhiwa komfanekiso imelelwa ngezindlela ezihlukahlukene. Uhlaka ngalunye lwesiprofetho lwalolu hlobo olusebufakazini obuphefumulelwe lufanekisela isikhathi sokuvivinywa ngomfanekiso wesilo esifinyelela umvuthwandaba ngophawu lwesilo.
“The ‘image to the beast’ represents that form of apostate Protestantism which will be developed when the Protestant churches shall seek the aid of the civil power for the enforcement of their dogmas. The ‘mark of the beast’ still remains to be defined.” The Great Controversy, 445.
“‘Umfanekiso wesilo’ umelela lolo hlobo lobuProthestani obuhlubukile oluyokwakheka lapho amabandla obuProthestani eyofuna usizo lombuso ukuze aphoqelele izimfundiso zawo. ‘Uphawu lwesilo’ lusadinga ukuchazwa.” The Great Controversy, 445.
The period of time represents the formation of the image to and of the beast; the mark of the beast is enforced when the image that has been forming reaches the point where it can speak a Sunday law into existence. The mark of Rome’s authority was typified by Nebuchadnezzar when Jerusalem was destroyed. Whether Babylon or Rome, the structure of the siege is emphasizing the king of the north in the latter days. The siege of Orhan from 1333 unto 1337 and the four years from July 27, 1449 unto the siege of Constantinople in 1453 not only typify the period from August 11, 1840 unto October 22, 1844, but the sieges also emphasize the role of Islam as the children of the east wind of Bible Prophecy. The theme of the king of the north (Babylon or Rome) and the east wind is the “tidings out of the east and out of the north” in Daniel 11:45.
Isikhathi simelela ukwakhiwa komfanekiso owenzelwa isilo nowesilo; uphawu lwesilo luphoqelelwa lapho umfanekiso obulokhu wakheka ufinyelela eqophelweni lokukwazi ukwenza umthetho weSonto ube khona ngokukhuluma. Uphawu lwegunya leRoma lwafanekiswa nguNebukadinesari lapho iJerusalema libhujiswa. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yiBhabhiloni noma yiRoma, ukwakheka kokuvinjezelwa kugcizelela inkosi yasenyakatho ezinsukwini zokugcina. Ukuvinjezelwa kuka-Orhan kusukela ngo-1333 kuze kube ngu-1337 kanye neminyaka emine kusukela mhla zingama-27 kuJulayi 1449 kuze kube sekuvinjezelweni kweConstantinople ngo-1453 akufanekiseli nje kuphela isikhathi esisukela mhla ziyi-11 ku-Agasti 1840 kuze kube mhla zingama-22 ku-Okthoba 1844, kodwa lokhu kuvinjezelwa kuphinde kugcizelele indima yobuSulumane njengabantwana bomoya wasempumalanga wesiprofetho seBhayibheli. Indikimba yenkosi yasenyakatho (iBhabhiloni noma iRoma) kanye nomoya wasempumalanga yile ethi “izindaba ezivela empumalanga nezivela enyakatho” kuDaniyeli 11:45.
But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. Daniel 11:44.
Kepha imibiko evela empumalanga nasenyakatho iyakumkhathaza: ngakho uyakuphuma ngokufutheka okukhulu ukuze abhubhise futhi aqothule abaningi ngokuphelele. Daniyeli 11:44.
The four years from July 27, 1449, unto the siege of Constantinople in 1453 identify not only a four-year period, but combined with the death of John Palaiologos in 1448, the period is also represented by five years.
Iminyaka emine kusukela mhla zingama-27 kuJulayi 1449 kuze kube sekuvinjezelweni kweConstantinople ngo-1453 ayigcini nje ngokukhomba inkathi yeminyaka emine, kodwa uma ihlanganiswa nokufa kukaJohn Palaiologos ngo-1448, le nkathi ibuye imelelwe yiminyaka emihlanu.
The structure is represented in both destructions of Jerusalem and in Noah’s flood. It is in the first Passover in Egypt when it was required that the destroying angel see the sign of blood on the door that led Pharaoh and his host into the sea until the east winds were released and the waters closed the door of entrance into the promised land. The structure is in the alpha history of the church of Pergamos from 313 unto the first Sunday law in 321, and it is in the omega history of Pergamos from the decree of Justinian in 533 unto the Sunday law of 538. With Pergamos, the sign is either an edict or a decree, but both begin a period that culminates at a Sunday law.
Lolu hlaka lubonakala kuzo zombili izikhathi zokubhujiswa kweJerusalema nakuzamcolo kaNowa. Lukhona ePhasikeni lokuqala eGibhithe, lapho kwakudingeka khona ukuba ingelosi ebhubhisayo ibone uphawu lwegazi emnyango owaholela uFaro nebutho lakhe olwandle, kwaze kwaba yilapho kukhululwa imimoya yasempumalanga namanzi evala umnyango wokungena ezweni lesithembiso. Lolu hlaka lukhona emlandweni we-alfa webandla lasePhergamu kusukela ngonyaka ka-313 kuze kufike umthetho wokuqala weSonto wangonyaka ka-321, futhi lukhona emlandweni we-omega wasePhergamu kusukela esimemezelweni sikaJustinian sangonyaka ka-533 kuze kufike umthetho weSonto wangonyaka ka-538. Endabeni yePhergamu, uphawu luwumyalo osemthethweni noma isimemezelo, kodwa kokubili kuqalisa inkathi efinyelela emvuthwandaba wayo emthethweni weSonto.
The structure of Ezekiel’s siege and destruction of Jerusalem was from 587 BC unto 586 BC: two years when considering the time inclusively and 1.5 years when considering the time exclusively. Another siege structure of prophecy is also represented by two years in the campaign of Panium that included the battle of Panium in 200 BC and the siege of Sidon in 198 BC. The death of Ezekiel’s wife aligns with the death of Lamech, the death of John Palaiologos and the battle of Panium.
Uhlaka lukaHezekeli lokuvinjezelwa nokubhujiswa kweJerusalema lwalusukela onyakeni ka-587 ngaphambi kukaKristu luze lufike onyakeni ka-586 ngaphambi kukaKristu: iminyaka emibili uma isikhathi sibalwa kuhlanganiswa isiqalo nesiphetho, nonyaka owodwa nengxenye uma sibalwa kungahlanganiswa isiqalo nesiphetho. Olunye uhlaka lwesiprofetho lokuvinjezelwa nalo lumelelwa yiminyaka emibili emkhankasweni wezempi wasePanium, owahlanganisa impi yasePanium ngo-200 ngaphambi kukaKristu kanye nokuvinjezelwa kweSidoni ngo-198 ngaphambi kukaKristu. Ukufa komkaHezekeli kuhambisana nokufa kukaLameka, ukufa kukaJohn Palaiologos kanye nempi yasePanium.
