In William Miller’s dream, the “bustle” at the beginning, when the people began to trouble the jewels was preceded by Miller assembling the jewels and calling “come and see.” Christ as the dirt brush man, uses the broom to sweep out the rubbish, assemble the jewels in a much larger casket, and He then called Miller to “come and see.” When Christ begins His broom-work, the room is empty, for Miller recorded that a “door opened, and a man entered the room, when the people all left it; and he, having a dirt brush in his hand, opened the windows, and began to brush the dirt and rubbish from the room.”

U snu Williama Millera, „metež“ na početku, kada su ljudi počeli uznemiravati dragulje, bio je prethoden time što je Miller skupio dragulje i pozvao: „dođite i vidite“. Krist, kao čovjek s četkom za prašinu, služi se metlom da pomete otpatke, sabere dragulje u mnogo veću škrinjicu, a zatim je Millera pozvao da „dođe i vidi“. Kada Krist započne svoje djelo metle, soba je prazna, jer je Miller zabilježio da su se „vrata otvorila, i čovjek je ušao u sobu, kada su je svi ljudi napustili; i on je, imajući u ruci četku za prašinu, otvorio prozore te počeo četkati prašinu i otpatke iz sobe.“

The dirt brush man enters the room when all the people had left it. In 2023, the dirt brush man entered the empty room, for the movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand had been shattered and scattered. The truths represented by Habakkuk’s Tables of 2012 was buried in rubbish, and the room was empty. The dirt brush man is He who came after John the Baptist, who John said had a fan, and that He would use that fan to thoroughly purge His floor.

Čovjek s metlom za prljavštinu ulazi u sobu kada su je svi ljudi napustili. Godine 2023. čovjek s metlom za prljavštinu ušao je u praznu sobu, jer je pokret sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće bio razbijen i raspršen. Istine predstavljene Habakukovim tablicama iz 2012. bile su zatrpane u smeću, a soba je bila prazna. Čovjek s metlom za prljavštinu jest Onaj koji je došao nakon Ivana Krstitelja, za kojega je Ivan rekao da ima vijaču i da će tom vijačom temeljito očistiti svoje gumno.

> I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. Matthew 3:11–13.

> Ja vas doista krstim vodom na pokajanje; ali onaj koji dolazi poslije mene jači je od mene, komu nisam dostojan ni obuću nositi; on će vas krstiti Duhom Svetim i ognjem. Njemu je vijača u ruci, i on će temeljito očistiti svoje gumno te skupiti svoju pšenicu u žitnicu; a pljevu će spaliti ognjem neugasivim. Tada dođe Isus iz Galileje na Jordan Ivanu da ga on krsti. Matej 3:11–13.

Galilee is a symbol of a turning point, and the point on the Jordan where Jesus came to be baptized is named Bethabara, and it means “the ferry crossing,” and it marks the place where ancient Israel crossed over to the Promised Land. When Jesus was baptized, He then became Jesus Christ. Galilee, Jordan, Bethabara and Jesus becoming the Christ are all emphasizing a change of dispensation, which is also what a door represents, especially for Philadelphians who are given the key of the open and shut door.

Galileja je simbol prekretnice, a mjesto na Jordanu gdje je Isus došao da bude kršten zove se Bethabara, i znači „prijelaz skelom“, i označuje mjesto gdje je drevni Izrael prešao u Obećanu zemlju. Kada je Isus bio kršten, tada je postao Isus Krist. Galileja, Jordan, Bethabara i Isusovo postajanje Kristom sve naglašava promjenu razdoblja, što je također ono što vrata predstavljaju, osobito za Filadelfijce kojima je dan ključ otvorenih i zatvorenih vrata.

> And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Revelation 3:7, 8.

> I anđelu crkve u Filadelfiji napiši: Ovo govori Onaj koji je svet, koji je istinit, koji ima ključ Davidov, koji otvara i nitko ne zatvara, i zatvara i nitko ne otvara: Znam tvoja djela. Evo, postavio sam pred tobom otvorena vrata, i nitko ih ne može zatvoriti, jer imaš malo snage, i sačuvao si moju riječ, i nisi zatajio moje ime. Otkrivenje 3:7, 8.

When Christ “opened” the “door” and “entered the room,” the room was “His room,” for He thoroughly purges “His floor.” If it is His floor, it is His room.

Kad je Krist „otvorio” „vrata” i „ušao u prostoriju”, ta je prostorija bila „Njegova prostorija”, jer On temeljito čisti „svoje gumno”. Ako je to Njegovo gumno, to je Njegova prostorija.

> “At Capernaum Jesus dwelt in the intervals of His journeys to and fro, and it came to be known as ‘His own city.’ It was on the shores of the Sea of Galilee, and near the borders of the beautiful plain of Gennesaret, if not actually upon it.” The Desire of Ages, 252.

> „U Kafarnaumu je Isus prebivao u razdobljima između svojih putovanja amo i tamo, te je grad postao poznat kao ‘njegov vlastiti grad’. Nalazio se na obalama Galilejskog mora i blizu granica lijepe Genezaretske ravnice, ako ne baš i na njoj.” Čežnja vjekova, 252.

He enters His room to gather His wheat and to gather and burn the tares. The change of dispensation represented by Galilee, Jordan, Bethabara, the baptism, the transition from John to Jesus aligns with the transition of the church militant of Laodicea unto the church triumphant of Philadelphia. He entered His room in July of 2023. Miller had closed his eyes in the bustle of July 18, 2020, and when he opened his eyes, the room was empty of people; truth was buried beneath error, and then the dirt brush man opened the windows and began to sweep the rubbish out.

Ulazi u svoju odaju da sakupi svoju pšenicu te da sabere i spali kukolj. Promjena razdoblja, predočena Galilejom, Jordanom, Betabarom, krštenjem, prijelazom od Ivana k Isusu, usklađena je s prijelazom crkve vojničke Laodiceje u crkvu pobjedonosnu Filadelfije. Ušao je u svoju odaju u srpnju 2023. Miller je sklopio oči u vrevi 18. srpnja 2020., a kada je otvorio oči, odaja je bila prazna od ljudi; istina je bila pokopana pod zabludom, a potom je čovjek s četkom za prašinu otvorio prozore i počeo mesti smeće van.

> “‘Whose fan is in His hand, and He will throughly purge His floor, and gather His wheat into the garner.’ Matthew 3:12. This was one of the times of purging. By the words of truth, the chaff was being separated from the wheat. Because they were too vain and self-righteous to receive reproof, too world-loving to accept a life of humility, many turned away from Jesus. Many are still doing the same thing. Souls are tested today as were those disciples in the synagogue at Capernaum. When truth is brought home to the heart, they see that their lives are not in accordance with the will of God. They see the need of an entire change in themselves; but they are not willing to take up the self-denying work. Therefore they are angry when their sins are discovered. They go away offended, even as the disciples left Jesus, murmuring, ‘This is an hard saying; who can hear it?’” The Desire of Ages, 392.

> „‘Komu je vijača u ruci, i on će temeljito pročistiti svoje гумno te će skupiti svoju pšenicu u žitnicu.’ Matej 3,12. To je bilo jedno od vremena pročišćavanja. Riječima istine kukolj se odvajao od pšenice. Budući da su bili odviše tašti i samopravedni da bi primili ukor, odviše zaljubljeni u svijet da bi prihvatili život poniznosti, mnogi su se odvratili od Isusa. Mnogi još uvijek čine isto. Duše se danas ispituju kao što su bili iskušani oni učenici u sinagogi u Kafarnaumu. Kad se istina približi srcu, oni vide da njihov život nije u skladu s voljom Božjom. Vide potrebu za potpunom promjenom u sebi; ali nisu voljni prihvatiti djelo samoodricanja. Stoga se srde kada se razotkriju njihovi grijesi. Odlaze uvrijeđeni, kao što su učenici ostavili Isusa, mrmljajući: ‘Tvrda je to besjeda; tko je može slušati?’” Želja vjekova, 392.

On the last day of 2023, which touches the first day of 2024, the Lion of the tribe of Judah began to progressively unseal the revelation of Himself. In accordance with the three-step testing process of Daniel twelve’s unsealing, there would then be three tests, represented as “purified, made white and tried.”

Posljednjega dana 2023., koji dotiče prvi dan 2024., Lav iz Judina plemena počeo je postupno otpečaćivati objavu samoga sebe. U skladu s trostupanjskim postupkom kušnje pri otpečaćivanju iz dvanaestoga poglavlja Danielove knjige, tada bi uslijedile tri kušnje, predstavljene kao „očišćeni, ubijeljeni i okušani“.

> And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. Daniel 12:9, 10.

> I on reče: Idi svojim putem, Daniele, jer ove su riječi zatvorene i zapečaćene do vremena svršetka. Mnogi će se očistiti i ubijeliti i biti iskušani; a bezbožni će činiti bezbožno; i nitko od bezbožnih neće razumjeti; ali mudri će razumjeti. Daniel 12,9.10.

The first angel represents purification, as the convicted sinner places his sins upon the sacrifice in the courtyard, where he is justified by the blood.

Prvi anđeo predstavlja očišćenje, dok osuđeni grešnik polaže svoje grijehe na žrtvu u predvorju, gdje biva opravdan krvlju.

The blood is then taken into the holy place where the sanctification process of holiness is represented as being made white through the washing of the blood from the courtyard. Righteousness is there manifested in those who overcome with the blood and the word of their testimony.

Krv se zatim unosi u Svetinju, gdje je proces posvećenja svetosti prikazan kao izbjeljivanje pranjem u krvi iz predvorja. Ondje se očituje pravednost u onima koji nadvladaju krvlju i riječju svojega svjedočanstva.

They are then tried, and in the latter days they are found to be ten times better than all the other wise men of Babylon. The third test is where they are glorified in the Most Holy Place and distinguished from the other class of professed wise men. That third test is the Sunday law, and the first test is the first angel’s call to return to the foundations, for in the next step the temple is erected. That next step is the second angel’s separation message, which is followed by the litmus test of the third angel.

Tada su iskušani, a u posljednjim danima nalazi se da su deset puta bolji od svih drugih mudraca Babilona. Treća kušnja jest ona u kojoj su proslavljeni u Svetinji nad svetinjama i izdvojeni od drugoga razreda nazovimudraca. Ta treća kušnja jest nedjeljni zakon, a prva kušnja jest poziv prvoga anđela na povratak temeljima, jer se u sljedećem koraku podiže hram. Taj sljedeći korak jest poruka odvajanja drugoga anđela, nakon koje slijedi lakmus-kušnja trećega anđela.

In 2023, the first angel arrived as He had done on August 11, 1840, when he came down with a message of Islam of the second woe. He came down as He had done at 9/11, with a message of Islam of the third woe, and the call to return to the old paths. The foundations of Millerite history were set up once the message of the second woe was fulfilled on August 11, 1840. The angel of Revelation chapter ten then descended, thus typifying the descent of the angel of Revelation chapter eighteen and the arrival of the third woe.

Godine 2023. prvi je anđeo došao kao što je učinio 11. kolovoza 1840., kada je sišao s porukom islama drugoga jaoa. Sišao je kao što je učinio na 9/11, s porukom islama trećega jaoa i pozivom da se vratimo starim stazama. Temelji mileritske povijesti bili su uspostavljeni kada se poruka drugoga jaoa ispunila 11. kolovoza 1840. Tada je sišao anđeo iz desetoga poglavlja Otkrivenja, predoznačujući tako silazak anđela iz osamnaestoga poglavlja Otkrivenja i dolazak trećega jaoa.

Josiah Litch is the historical figured associated with the foundations being established on August 11, 1840. The name “Josiah” means “the foundation of God,” and king Josiah in sacred history represents Josiah’s reformation, which included the discovery of the curse of Moses, buried among the rubbish in the sanctuary, just as Miller’s jewels were buried in the room.

Josiah Litch povijesna je osoba povezana s time da su temelji bili postavljeni 11. kolovoza 1840. Ime „Josiah“ znači „temelj Božji“, a kralj Jošija u svetoj povijesti predstavlja Jošijinu reformu, koja je uključivala otkriće Mojsijeva prokletstva, zatrpanog među ruševinama u Svetištu, upravo kao što su Millerovi dragulji bili zakopani u prostoriji.

King Josiah died at Megiddo, which is Armageddon of Revelation chapter sixteen. The reformation of Josiah was a fulfillment of the prophecy set forth by the disobedient prophet, when Jeroboam set up the two altars in Bethel and Dan. That disobedient prophet died between the ass and the lion. King Josiah had been predicted, by name, and his reformation was part of the prediction, which included that the future king Josiah would beat down the very altar where the disobedient prophet confronted the wicked king Jeroboam.

Kralj Jošija poginuo je kod Megida, koji je Armagedon iz šesnaestoga poglavlja Otkrivenja. Jošijina reforma bila je ispunjenje proroštva koje je iznio neposlušni prorok, kada je Jeroboam postavio dva žrtvenika u Betelu i Danu. Taj neposlušni prorok umro je između magarca i lava. Kralj Jošija bio je unaprijed prorečen, po imenu, a njegova je reforma bila dio toga proročanstva, koje je uključivalo da će budući kralj Jošija oboriti upravo onaj žrtvenik kod kojega se neposlušni prorok suočio sa zlim kraljem Jeroboamom.

Josiah means the foundation of God, and king Josiah fulfilled the prediction given about 340 years before his reign. He led out in a revival and reformation that ultimately arrived at the altar where the prophet from Judah confronted king Jeroboam. Once there, Josiah smashed the altar down, as the prophecy said he would do. Those two altars of Jeroboam were purposeful counterfeits of the temple in Jerusalem, even to the depth that Jeroboam instituted counterfeit feast days. In doing so, he was simply doing what Aaron did with the golden calf. Aaron’s rebellion was at the foundation of ancient Israel’s sacred history. It occurred when Moses was receiving the Law, which is the foundation of God’s government.

Jošija znači temelj Božji, a kralj Jošija ispunio je proročanstvo dano oko 340 godina prije njegove vladavine. Predvodio je probuđenje i reformu koji su na koncu stigli do žrtvenika kod kojega se prorok iz Jude suprotstavio kralju Jeroboamu. Kad je ondje stigao, Jošija je razorio žrtvenik, kao što je proročanstvo reklo da će učiniti. Ta dva Jeroboamova žrtvenika bila su namjerne krivotvorine hrama u Jeruzalemu, čak do te mjere da je Jeroboam ustanovio i krivotvorene blagdane. Čineći to, on je jednostavno činio ono što je Aron učinio sa zlatnim teletom. Aronova pobuna bila je u samome temelju svete povijesti drevnoga Izraela. Dogodila se dok je Mojsije primao Zakon, koji je temelj Božje vladavine.

Aaron’s rebellion was a foundational rebellion, and it was repeated when Jeroboam founded the ten northern tribes as Israel. Moses rebuked Aaron, and Moses is the alpha, or foundation in relation to Christ the omega. Aaron and Moses represent two classes in the foundational rebellion and a third class are the heroes who stood with Moses—the Levites. King Jeroboam and the prophet from Judah are the two classes in the foundation rebellion of the northern kingdom, and once again the Levites are the heroes.

Aronova pobuna bila je temeljna pobuna, a ponovila se kada je Jeroboam utemeljio deset sjevernih plemena kao Izrael. Mojsije je ukorio Arona, a Mojsije je alfa, odnosno temelj u odnosu na Krista omegu. Aron i Mojsije predstavljaju dvije skupine u temeljnoj pobuni, a treća skupina jesu junaci koji su stali uz Mojsija — Leviti. Kralj Jeroboam i prorok iz Jude dvije su skupine u temeljnoj pobuni sjevernoga kraljevstva, a Leviti su ponovno junaci.

At Jeroboam’s foundational rebellion the prophet from Judah rebukes him and prophesies of a king that would be named “the foundation of God”—Josiah. The fulfillment of the predicted reformation included that when Josiah began his revival and reformation, the curse of Moses was discovered, and the reading of the sacred words of Moses empowered a revival and reformation that had already begun. Josiah, clearly a prophetic symbol, represents a revival and reformation that is empowered when a prophecy from the writings of Moses is discovered.

Pri Jeroboamovoj temeljnoj pobuni prorok iz Jude kori ga i prorokuje o kralju koji će se zvati „temelj Božji“ — Jošija. Ispunjenje prorečene reforme uključivalo je to da je, kada je Jošija započeo svoj preporod i reformu, bilo otkriveno Mojsijevo prokletstvo, a čitanje svetih Mojsijevih riječi osnažilo je preporod i reformu koji su već bili započeli. Jošija, očito proročki simbol, predstavlja preporod i reformu koji bivaju osnaženi kada se otkrije proročanstvo iz Mojsijevih spisa.

The foundational rebellion in the story of king Jeroboam is represented by the king of Israel, and also by the prophet from Judah who was sent with a divine pronouncement against Jeroboam’s foundational rebellion and instructions for the prophet identifying which path to avoid when returning to Judah. The prophet from Judah rejects Jeroboam’s request to stay, but thereafter accepts the invitation of the lying prophet of Bethel, and seals his fate. The disobedient prophet would die between the ass and the lion, and then be buried in the tomb of the lying prophet.

Temeljna pobuna u pripovijesti o kralju Jeroboamu predstavljena je kraljem Izraela, a također i prorokom iz Jude koji je bio poslan s božanskim proglasom protiv Jeroboamove temeljne pobune te s uputama za proroka koje su određivale kojim se putem treba kloniti pri povratku u Judu. Prorok iz Jude odbija Jeroboamov zahtjev da ostane, ali potom prihvaća poziv lažljivoga proroka iz Betela i time zapečaćuje svoju sudbinu. Neposlušni prorok umrijet će između magarca i lava, a zatim biti pokopan u grobu lažljivoga proroka.

On August 11, 1840, a prophecy of the second woe was fulfilled, and the foundations of Adventism was laid. Josiah Litch presented the prophecy in 1838, and then ten days before August 11, 1840 he fined tuned his calculations and predicted August 11, 1840, as the day the Ottoman supremacy would cease, in fulfillment of the prophecy of Islam of the second woe.

Dana 11. kolovoza 1840. ispunilo se proročanstvo drugoga jaoja, i položeni su temelji adventizma. Josiah Litch iznio je to proročanstvo 1838. godine, a zatim je deset dana prije 11. kolovoza 1840. precizno uskladio svoje izračune i predvidio 11. kolovoza 1840. kao dan kada će osmanska nadmoć prestati, kao ispunjenje proročanstva o islamu drugoga jaoja.

King Josiah symbolizes the final revival and reformation, for every prophet speaks more directly of the latter days, than any prior days. King Josiah symbolizes the final revival and reformation, and that reformation has been set forth in the Bible by a prediction. The book of Joel identifies the final revival and reformation that takes place among those who will be the one hundred and forty-four thousand. Josiah’s revival was two steps, it began, then a prophecy was unsealed that added momentum to the work. The two steps are the early and latter rain, as set forth in the book of Joel, and fulfilled in the books of Acts, and then fulfilled again in the Millerite history.

Kralj Jošija simbolizira posljednje probuđenje i reformaciju, jer svaki prorok govori izravnije o posljednjim danima nego o bilo kojim prijašnjim danima. Kralj Jošija simbolizira posljednje probuđenje i reformaciju, a ta je reformacija u Bibliji izložena proročanstvom. Knjiga o Joelu prepoznaje posljednje probuđenje i reformaciju koja se zbiva među onima koji će biti sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće. Jošijino je probuđenje bilo u dva koraka: započelo je, a zatim je bilo otpečaćeno proročanstvo koje je djelu dalo dodatni zamah. Ta su dva koraka rani i kasni dažd, kako je izloženo u Knjizi o Joelu i ispunjeno u Djelima apostolskim, a zatim ponovno ispunjeno u mileritskoj povijesti.

At the foundational rebellions of Aaron, king Jeroboam and the prophet from Judah to king Josiah, and then on to Josiah Litch, identifies a line of testimony concerning the foundational test. The foundational test is the first test, that is followed by the temple test when the capstone is placed. After that the third test, the litmus test arrives.

U temeljnim pobunama Arona, kralja Jeroboama i proroka iz Jude, pa sve do kralja Jošije, a zatim do Josije Litcha, prepoznaje se linija svjedočanstva u vezi s temeljnim ispitom. Temeljni ispit jest prvi ispit, nakon kojega slijedi ispit hrama kada se postavlja završni kamen. Nakon toga dolazi treći ispit, lakmusni ispit.

From the golden calf, unto Jeroboam’s altars at Bethel and Dan, to king Josiah, unto Josiah Litch represents a series of prophetic footsteps that lead to the foundational test of 9/11. When the great buildings of New York came down at 9/11, a prophecy of the third woe identified the test calling for a return to the old foundational paths, for the parallel of August 11, 1840 and 9/11 could be seen by any Laodicean Seventh-day Adventist who chose to see. Al Qaeda’s involvement in 9/11 is often brought into question in these days of conspiracy theories that generally are true, but Al Qaeda means “the foundation,” and they began as an organization one year before the time of the end in 1989, in fact on August 11, 1988.

Od zlatnoga teleta, preko Jeroboamovih žrtvenika u Betelu i Danu, do kralja Jošije, pa sve do Josiaha Litcha, proteže se niz proročkih stopa koje vode do temeljne kušnje 11. rujna. Kada su se na 11. rujna srušile velike zgrade New Yorka, proročanstvo o trećem jao identificiralo je kušnju koja je pozivala na povratak starim temeljnim stazama, jer je usporednicu između 11. kolovoza 1840. i 11. rujna mogao vidjeti svaki laodicejski adventist sedmoga dana koji je odlučio vidjeti. U ovim danima teorija zavjere, koje su općenito istinite, često se dovodi u pitanje umiješanost Al Qaide u 11. rujna, ali Al Qaeda znači „temelj“, a započeli su kao organizacija godinu dana prije vremena svršetka, 1989., zapravo 11. kolovoza 1988.

If these details about the prophetic symbolism of the foundations is not noticed, much is lost. At 9/11 the foundations were laid in the first step. The second step the temple is finished as the capstone is placed. The third step is the closed door of the Sunday law. From 9/11 unto the Sunday law the message is primarily directed to Laodicean Seventh-day Adventists, for judgment begins at the house of God, and it ends for the house of God at the Sunday law. There and then Laodicean Seventh-day Adventism is passed by; as were the Protestants in Millerite history, and the Jews in the history of Christ, and as were those who died over forty years in the history of Moses.

Ako se ti pojedinosti o proročkoj simbolici temelja ne uoče, mnogo se gubi. Na 11. rujna temelji su položeni u prvome koraku. U drugome je koraku hram dovršen kada se postavlja zaglavni kamen. Treći je korak zatvorena vrata nedjeljnoga zakona. Od 11. rujna pa sve do nedjeljnoga zakona poruka je prvenstveno upućena laodikejskim adventistima sedmoga dana, jer sud počinje od doma Božjega, a za dom Božji završava kod nedjeljnoga zakona. Tamo i tada laodikejski adventizam sedmoga dana biva zaobiđen; kao što su bili protestanti u mileritskoj povijesti, i Židovi u Kristovoj povijesti, i kao što su bili oni koji su pomrli tijekom četrdeset godina u Mojsijevoj povijesti.

The third woe of 9/11 was typified by the second woe of August 11, 1840, and at that level both waymarks are represented by the ass, the first symbol of Islam in Bible prophecy. The Sunday law is the mark of the beast, and that beast is often represented as a lion, thus counterfeiting the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The Sunday law is the lion and the disobedient prophet from Judah died between the ass and the lion, and was buried in the same grave as the lying prophet of Bethel. He died in the prophetic period from 9/11 unto the Sunday law, which is the prophetic period from the ass unto the lion. That testing period is the grave of the lying prophet of Bethel, who had the disobedient prophet from Judah buried in his very own grave.

Treći jao od 11. rujna bio je predoznačen drugim jao od 11. kolovoza 1840., i na toj su razini oba putokaza predstavljena magarcem, prvim simbolom islama u biblijskom proročanstvu. Zakon o nedjelji žig je Zvijeri, a ta je Zvijer često predstavljena kao lav, krivotvoreći tako Lava iz Judina plemena. Zakon o nedjelji jest lav, a neposlušni prorok iz Jude umro je između magarca i lava te bio pokopan u istome grobu kao i lažni prorok iz Betela. Umro je u proročkom razdoblju od 11. rujna do zakona o nedjelji, što je proročko razdoblje od magarca do lava. To razdoblje kušnje jest grob lažnoga proroka iz Betela, koji je neposlušnoga proroka iz Jude dao pokopati u vlastitom grobu.

Jeroboam’s kingdom, which is represented as a counterfeit of the kingdom of Judah, where Jerusalem and the temple are located, represented the Protestants of Millerite history, that were no longer God’s people. They lost their covenant designation between August 11, 1840 and the closed door of October 22, 1844. That history aligns with 9/11 unto the Sunday law, and for this reason, the disobedient prophet of Judah is buried in the same tomb as were the apostate Protestants, who were represented by the lying prophet of Bethel.

Jeroboamovo kraljevstvo, koje je prikazano kao krivotvorina Judina kraljevstva, gdje se nalaze Jeruzalem i hram, predstavljalo je protestante mileritske povijesti, koji više nisu bili Božji narod. Izgubili su svoju saveznu oznaku između 11. kolovoza 1840. i zatvorenih vrata 22. listopada 1844. Ta se povijest podudara s razdobljem od 11. rujna do nedjeljnog zakona, i zbog toga je neposlušni prorok iz Jude pokopan u istom grobu kao i otpali protestanti, koje je predstavljao lažljivi prorok iz Betela.

Overall king Josiah was a good king, but he did die at Megiddo, an obvious and direct application to Armageddon. He went astray by refusing the warning message of Necho. Necho, the king of Egypt, and therefore the king of the south was on his way to do battle with Babylon, the king of the north. Josiah represents the Judeans that die at Armageddon, because they rejected the warning message of the battle of the king of the south and the king of the north in Daniel 11:40–45. That message became the foundation at 9/11.

Općenito, kralj Jošija bio je dobar kralj, ali je ipak poginuo kod Megida, što je očita i izravna primjena na Armagedon. Zastranio je time što je odbio upozoravajuću poruku Neha. Neho, kralj Egipta, a stoga i kralj juga, bio je na putu da se sukobi s Babilonom, kraljem sjevera. Jošija predstavlja Judejce koji umiru u Armagedonu, jer su odbacili upozoravajuću poruku o bitci kralja juga i kralja sjevera u Danielu 11:40–45. Ta je poruka postala temelj 11. rujna.

The first test is the first angel’s call to return to the foundations.

Prva kušnja jest poziv prvoga anđela na povratak temeljima.

The second test is the second angel’s call to separate and finish the temple.

Druga kušnja jest poziv drugoga anđela da se odvoje i dovrše hram.

The third test is the third angel’s litmus test of the seal or the mark.

Treći je ispit lakmus-test trećega anđela o pečatu ili žigu.

The first test is a test upon the foundations, and in 2024 roughly half of those involved with the Sabbath zoom meetings left over the only doctrinal argument that is represented upon the 1843 chart. That argument was over the symbol that establishes the vision of God’s people in the latter days. The Millerite controversy had the Protestants claiming Antiochus Epiphanes, or Islam was the power who exalts himself, and falls, to establish the vision in verse fourteen of Daniel eleven.

Prvi je ispit ispit na temeljima, i tijekom 2024. otprilike je polovica onih uključenih u subotnje Zoom-sastanke otišla zbog jedinog doktrinarnog argumenta koji je prikazan na karti iz 1843. godine. Taj se argument odnosio na simbol koji uspostavlja viđenje Božjega naroda u posljednjim danima. Mileritska je kontroverza bila u tome što su protestanti tvrdili da su Antioh Epifan, ili islam, sila koja se uzvisuje i pada kako bi uspostavila viđenje u četrnaestom retku jedanaestog poglavlja Daniela.

> And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall. Daniel 11:14.

> U ono će se vrijeme mnogi podići protiv kralja juga; a i nasilnici iz tvoga naroda uzvisit će se da utvrde viđenje; ali će pasti. Daniel 11,14.

Was Islam or Antiochus Epiphanes the robbers of thy people, or was it Rome, as Miller identified. Miller had understood that the desolating powers of paganism and papalism were both the power that exalted themselves, who fell and who were the robbers of God’s people. The argument is represented on the chart that was “directed by the hand of God, and should not be altered,” and is the only representation on either of Habakkuk’s tables which identifies an event that had no direct reference in the prophetic Word. The reference on the chart was to highlight that foundational argument as a symbol of the separating power of God’s prophetic Word.

Jesu li islam ili Antioh Epifan bili razbojnici tvoga naroda, ili je to bio Rim, kako je utvrdio Miller? Miller je razumio da su pustošeće sile poganstva i papinstva obje ona sila koja se uzvisila, koja je pala i koja je bila razbojnik Božjega naroda. Taj je argument prikazan na karti koja je bila „usmjerena Božjom rukom i ne smije se mijenjati“ te je jedini prikaz na bilo kojoj od Habakukovih ploča koji prepoznaje događaj koji nije imao izravnu referencu u proročkoj Riječi. Oznaka na karti bila je stavljena kako bi istaknula taj temeljni argument kao simbol razdvajajuće sile Božje proročke Riječi.

In 2024, roughly half of the zoom group left over the false understanding that it is the United States that establishes the vision, and not Rome, as the Millerites so aptly defended.

Godine 2024. otprilike je polovica Zoom skupine otišla zbog pogrešnog shvaćanja da je Sjedinjene Američke Države uspostavljaju viđenje, a ne Rim, kako su to mileriti tako prikladno branili.

The purging that began in 2023, began when Christ entered the room with His fan, and the fan is His words of truth. When He entered His room, it was empty of people, so He raised up a voice in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord. The voice was to prepare the way for the Messenger of the Covenant to suddenly come unto His temple; His temple of the one hundred and forty-four thousand.

Pročišćavanje koje je započelo 2023. godine započelo je kada je Krist ušao u prostoriju sa svojom vijačom, a vijača su Njegove riječi istine. Kada je ušao u svoju prostoriju, bila je prazna od ljudi, pa je podigao glas u pustinji da pripravi put Gospodinu. Taj je glas trebao pripraviti put Glasniku Saveza da iznenada dođe u svoj hram; svoj hram od sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće.

Then in 2024, the first test, the test of the foundations, the test of who establishes the vision—that vision that seals the remnant. The internal vision that seals the remnant is the vision of Christ in chapter ten, and the external vision is the vision that is established by the antichrist, and the antichrist is Rome. An internal vision of Christ and an external vision of antichrist. The sealing is a settling into truth, both spiritually and intellectually; and the internal vision of chapter ten is the spiritual, and chapter eleven’s external vision is the intellectual. The understanding and corresponding experience of both visions is the required criteria for anyone who would be sealed, as Daniel represented in the first verse of Daniel chapter ten.

Zatim 2024. dolazi prvi ispit, ispit temelja, ispit tko uspostavlja viđenje—ono viđenje koje zapečaćuje Ostatak. Unutarnje viđenje koje zapečaćuje Ostatak jest viđenje Krista u desetom poglavlju, a vanjsko viđenje jest viđenje koje uspostavlja antikrist, a antikrist je Rim. Unutarnje viđenje Krista i vanjsko viđenje antikrista. Zapečaćenje je utvrđivanje u istini, i duhovno i intelektualno; a unutarnje viđenje desetog poglavlja jest duhovno, dok je vanjsko viđenje jedanaestog poglavlja intelektualno. Razumijevanje i odgovarajuće iskustvo obaju viđenja nužni su kriteriji za svakoga tko bi bio zapečaćen, kao što je Daniel prikazao u prvom retku desetog poglavlja Daniela.

> In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. Daniel 10:1.

> Treće godine perzijskoga kralja Kira bijaše otkrivena riječ Danielu, kojemu ime bijaše Beltešasar; i riječ bijaše istinita, ali određeno vrijeme bijaše dugo; i on razumje riječ te steče razumijevanje viđenja. Daniel 10,1.

The alpha test of the foundations was over verse fourteen of Daniel eleven, and it was a parallel to the same foundational test of the Millerites, and that test was the only controversy from Millerite history that is represented upon the table Habakkuk’s watchman was commanded to write and make plain. The foundational test of 2024, was the first angel’s descent, as represented by August 11, 1840, 1888 and 9/11.

Alfa-test temelja odnosio se na četrnaesti redak jedanaestog poglavlja Daniela i bio je paralelan istom temeljnom ispitu milerita; a taj je ispit bio jedina kontroverza iz mileritske povijesti koja je prikazana na tablici koju je Habakukov stražar bio zapovjeđen napisati i učiniti jasnom. Temeljni ispit 2024. godine bio je silazak prvog anđela, kako je prikazan datumima 11. kolovoza 1840., 1888. i 11. rujna.

That angel had also descended as Michael, for Michael is the one who resurrected Moses, who with Elijah was resurrected on the last day of 2023. That resurrection is represented by Ezekiel as being accomplished by a prophecy of the four winds, which Sister White calls the angry restrained horse, which is Islam of August 11, 1840 and 9/11. The alpha test was the foundational testing external vision. The omega test would be an internal capstone vision.

Taj je anđeo također sišao kao Mihael, jer je Mihael onaj koji je uskrsnuo Mojsija, koji je s Ilijom bio uskrišen posljednjega dana 2023. godine. To je uskrsnuće kod Ezekiela prikazano kao izvršeno proročanstvom o četiri vjetra, koje sestra White naziva gnjevnim obuzdanim konjem, a to je islam od 11. kolovoza 1840. i 11. rujna. Alfa-kušnja bila je temeljno ispitivanje izvanjskoga viđenja. Omega-kušnja bila bi unutarnje vrhovno viđenje.

Why would there be an alpha and omega to be followed by a third test? This is the very issue I am identifying. The alpha external testing vision of 2024, is the first of three tests. That foundational test must be passed to be involved in the capstone omega test. Those two tests are of a different prophetic nature than the third test. The third test is a litmus test which demonstrates if the candidate has truly passed the previous two steps.

Zašto bi postojao alfa i omega nakon kojih bi slijedio treći test? Upravo je to pitanje koje prepoznajem. Vizija vanjskog ispitivanja alfa iz 2024. godine prva je od tri testa. Taj temeljni test mora biti položen kako bi se moglo sudjelovati u završnom omega testu. Ta su dva testa drukčije proročke naravi od trećega testa. Treći je test lakmus-test koji pokazuje je li kandidat uistinu prošao prethodna dva koraka.

The first test is the foundation, and the second test is the temple completed. The foundation of the temple was laid during the history of the first decree to come out of Babylon. In the history of the second decree the temple was completed. The third decree was different, for in that decree, Judah’s national sovereignty was restored giving them the authority to prosecute civil and religious crimes. Judgment is restored at the third decree. In 2024, the foundational alpha test separated those in the dirt brush man’s virtually empty room.

Prva kušnja jest temelj, a druga kušnja jest dovršeni hram. Temelj hrama bio je položen tijekom povijesti prve uredbe za izlazak iz Babilona. U povijesti druge uredbe hram je bio dovršen. Treća uredba bila je drukčija, jer je tom uredbom Judi bila vraćena nacionalna suverenost, dajući joj ovlast da kazneno progoni građanske i vjerske prijestupe. Sud je obnovljen pri trećoj uredbi. Godine 2024. temeljna alfa-kušnja razdvojila je one u gotovo praznoj sobi čovjeka od četke za prašinu.

The omega test is where the temple is finished, as represented by the capstone being placed. The completion of the temple is the church triumphant that is established when the tares are removed. The completion of the temple in Miller’s dream was when the jewels were cast back into the larger casket “without any visible pains of the man who cast them in.” After Miller identifies the dirt brush man casting the jewels into the larger casket, he ends his testimony with the words, “I shouted with very joy, and that shout awoke me.”

Omega kušnja jest ondje gdje je hram dovršen, kao što je prikazano postavljanjem zaglavnoga kamena. Dovršenje hrama jest crkva pobjedonosna, koja se uspostavlja kada se ukloni kukolj. Dovršenje hrama u Millerovu snu bilo je onda kada su dragulji bili vraćeni u veći kovčežić „bez ikakva vidljivog napora čovjeka koji ih je u njega ubacivao“. Nakon što Miller prepozna čovjeka s četkom za prašinu kako ubacuje dragulje u veći kovčežić, on završava svoje svjedočanstvo riječima: „Povikah od same radosti, i taj me povik probudi.“

Take note that Miller’s loud cry that awakens, was empowered by “joy.” Joy is the symbol of those in Joel who have the “new wine,” and “shame” is upon those other drinkers of wine who have been cut off from the new wine. The Midnight Cry that awakens Miller, follows after the dirt brush man casts the jewels into the larger casket. The larger casket is full of the jewels that have been separated from the rubbish and cast into the casket, which is both the temple of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, and the message of the Midnight Cry. The temple is finished in the second decree, or the second angel, or the second and omega test. In Miller’s dream, the omega test is represented when the windows of heaven are opened.

Uočite da je Millerov glasni poklik, koji budi, bio osnažen „radošću”. Radost je simbol onih u Joelu koji imaju „novo vino”, a „sramota” je nad onim drugim vinopijama koji su odsječeni od novoga vina. Ponoćni poklik koji budi Millera slijedi nakon što čovjek s četkom za prljavštinu baca dragulje u veći kovčežić. Veći je kovčežić pun dragulja koji su odvojeni od smeća i bačeni u kovčežić, koji je ujedno i hram sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, i poruka Ponoćnoga poklika. Hram je dovršen u drugom dekretu, ili drugom anđelu, ili drugom i omega testu. U Millerovu snu omega test prikazan je kada se otvore nebeski prozori.

> And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Revelation 19:6–9.

> I čuh kao glas velikoga mnoštva, i kao glas mnogih voda, i kao glas silnih gromova, gdje govore: Aleluja! Jer Gospodin Bog svemogući kraljuje. Radujmo se i kličimo, i dajmo mu slavu, jer je došla svadba Janjetova i žena njegova pripravila se. I dano joj je da se odjene u lan tanan, čist i bijel; jer lan tanan jest pravednost svetih. I reče mi: Piši: Blaženi koji su pozvani na svadbenu gozbu Janjetovu. I reče mi: Ovo su istinite riječi Božje. Otkrivenje 19:6–9.

On October 22, 1844, “four comings of Christ” were fulfilled, and each of those four comings are more perfectly fulfilled at the soon-coming Sunday law. He came as the Messenger of the Covenant, in fulfillment of the purging and purification of the Levites in Malachi three. He came to receive a kingdom in fulfillment of Daniel 7:13. He came to cleanse the sanctuary in fulfillment of Daniel 8:14 and He also came to the marriage. The marriage takes place when the bride has made herself ready.

Dana 22. listopada 1844. ispunila su se „četiri Kristova dolaska“, a svaki od ta četiri dolaska savršenije se ispunjava pri uskoro-dolazećem nedjeljnom zakonu. Došao je kao Glasnik Saveza, u ispunjenju očišćenja i pročišćenja Levita iz Malahije tri. Došao je primiti kraljevstvo u ispunjenju Daniela 7,13. Došao je očistiti Svetište u ispunjenju Daniela 8,14, a također je došao i na svadbu. Svadba se zbiva kada se zaručnica pripravila.

> “‘When the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.’ Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own.” Christ’s Object Lessons, 69.

> „A kad plod dozri, odmah zamahuje srpom, jer je došla žetva.“ Krist s čežnjom iščekuje očitovanje samoga sebe u svojoj crkvi. Kada se Kristov karakter bude savršeno odražavao u njegovu narodu, tada će doći da ih prizna kao svoje.“ Christ’s Object Lessons, 69.

The “world can only be warned,” according to inspiration, by “seeing men and women” with the seal of God during the Sunday law crisis.

Prema nadahnuću, „svijet može biti samo opomenut” time što „vidi muškarce i žene” s Božjim pečatom tijekom krize nedjeljnog zakona.

> “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.

> „Djelo Duha Svetoga jest osvjedočiti svijet o grijehu, o pravednosti i o sudu. Svijet može biti opomenut jedino tako da vidi one koji vjeruju istini, posvećene istinom, kako postupaju po uzvišenim i svetim načelima, pokazujući u visokom, uzvišenom smislu crtu razgraničenja između onih koji drže Božje zapovijedi i onih koji ih gaze pod svojim nogama. Posvećenje Duhom označava razliku između onih koji imaju Božji pečat i onih koji drže krivotvoreni dan odmora. Kada dođe kušnja, jasno će se pokazati što je žig Zvijeri. To je svetkovanje nedjelje. Oni koji, nakon što su čuli istinu, i dalje smatraju ovaj dan svetim, nose potpis čovjeka grijeha, koji je naumio promijeniti vremena i zakone.” Bible Training School, 1. prosinca 1903.

When the bride makes herself ready the harvest is come. The harvest begins with the gathering together of the first fruit wheat offering that is lifted up as a wave offering ensign. First the first fruits, which are the one hundred and forty-four thousand in the book of Revelation, are gathered, and then the other flock, who are the great multitude. The ensign is his mighty army, and his mighty army is arrayed in fine white linen. At the marriage, the temple of the one hundred and forty-four is finished in advance of the judgment of the Sunday law, and that temple is not only Miller’s larger casket, but it is the church triumphant that possesses all the gifts, including the spirit of prophecy.

Kad se nevjesta pripravi, došla je žetva. Žetva započinje sabiranjem prvine pšeničnoga prinosa koji se uzdiže kao mahanica, stijeg. Najprije se sabiru prvine, koje su sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće u knjizi Otkrivenja, a zatim drugo stado, koje je veliko mnoštvo. Stijeg je njegova silna vojska, a njegova je silna vojska odjevena u fino bijelo platno. Na svadbi je hram sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće dovršen unaprijed, prije suda nedjeljnoga zakona, i taj hram nije samo Millerov veći kovčežić, nego je i crkva pobjedonosna koja posjeduje sve darove, uključujući i duh proroštva.

> And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10.

> I padoh ničice pred njegove noge da mu se poklonim. A on mi reče: Pazi, ne čini toga! Ja sam tvoj subrat i subrat tvoje braće koja imaju svjedočanstvo Isusovo. Bogu se pokloni, jer svjedočanstvo Isusovo duh je proroštva. Otkrivenje 19,10.

The one hundred and forty-four thousand are those who have the testimony of Jesus, and the testimony of Jesus is set forth “line upon line” in both the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy. When the Laodicean movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand transforms into the Philadelphian movement of the one hundred and forty-four thousand, they will all employ the line upon line methodology to present their testimony. That testimony is a combination of the Divine blood and the human witness.

Sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće jesu oni koji imaju Isusovo svjedočanstvo, a Isusovo svjedočanstvo izloženo je „redak po redak” i u Bibliji i u Duhu proroštva. Kada se laodicejski pokret sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće preobrazi u filadelfijski pokret sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće, svi će oni primjenjivati metodologiju redak po redak kako bi iznijeli svoje svjedočanstvo. To je svjedočanstvo spoj božanske krvi i ljudskog svjedočenja.

> And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11.

> I oni ga pobijediše krvlju Janjetovom i riječju svoga svjedočanstva; i ne uzljubiše svojih života sve do smrti. Otkrivenje 12,11.

The testimony of humanity combined with the blood of Divinity is the testimony of Moses and the Lamb. Moses was humanity, the alpha to the blood of the omega Lamb’s divinity. All the gifts are restored as soon as the bride makes herself ready, and as a mighty army clothed in white linen, she takes her position as the ensign of the Lord’s advancing army. That battle march begins when the bride is made ready and clothed in white, which is when the windows of heaven are opened, as they were in Miller’s dream.

Svjedočanstvo čovještva sjedinjeno s krvlju Božanstva jest svjedočanstvo Mojsija i Jaganjca. Mojsije je bio čovještvo, alfa krvi božanstva omega-Jaganjca. Svi su darovi obnovljeni čim se nevjesta pripravi, i kao silna vojska odjevena u bijelo platno, zauzima svoje mjesto kao stijeg Gospodnje vojske koja napreduje. Taj bojni pohod započinje kada je nevjesta pripravljena i odjevena u bijelo, što je vrijeme kada se otvaraju nebeski prozori, kao što je to bilo u Millerovu snu.

> And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Revelation 19:11–16.

> I vidjeh nebo otvoreno, i gle, konj bijel; a Onaj koji sjedi na njemu zove se Vjerni i Istiniti, i po pravednosti sudi i vojuje. Oči su mu kao plamen ognjeni, a na glavi mu mnoge krune; i ima ime napisano koje nitko ne zna doli on sam. I bijaše obučen u haljinu umočenu u krv; i ime mu se zove Riječ Božja. I vojske koje su na nebu slijedile su ga na bijelim konjima, obučene u lan tanak, bijel i čist. I iz usta mu izlazi mač oštar, da njime udari narode; i on će njima vladati palicom željeznom; i on gazi tijesak žestine i gnjeva Boga Svemogućega. I na haljini i na bedru ima ime napisano: KRALJ KRALJEVA I GOSPODAR GOSPODARA. Otkrivenje 19:11–16.

When the dirt brush man enters the empty room and opens the windows He gathers up the jewels and cast them into the larger omega casket. James White would identify those jewels as God’s people, but William Miller would tell you symbols have more than one meaning, and the jewels represent not only the scattered foundational truths, but also the scattered jewels that are on the crown that is lifted up representing Christ’s kingdom of glory.

Kad čovjek s četkom za prašinu uđe u praznu sobu i otvori prozore, on skuplja dragulje i baca ih u veći omega kovčežić. James White bi te dragulje poistovjetio s Božjim narodom, ali William Miller rekao bi vam da simboli imaju više od jednog značenja, te da dragulji ne predstavljaju samo raspršene temeljne istine, nego i raspršene dragulje koji se nalaze na kruni koja je uzdignuta, a koja predstavlja Kristovo kraljevstvo slave.

> And the Lord their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land. Zechariah 9:16.

> I Jahve, Bog njihov, spasit će ih u onaj dan kao stado naroda svojega, jer će oni biti kao kamenje u kruni, podignuto kao stijeg nad zemljom njegovom. Zaharija 9:16.

The omega and second test after the foundational alpha test of Rome establishing the vision, is the capstone omega test. It is the finishing of the temple test, that precedes the third litmus test of judgment. The test purges the two classes of worshippers from each other, separating the wise and foolish based upon the oil, which is the message, or as Sister White identified in her commentary of the synagogue at Capernaum—the “words of truth.”

Omega i drugi ispit nakon temeljnoga alfa-ispita Rima, koji uspostavlja viđenje, jest krunski omega-ispit. To je dovršenje ispita hrama, koji prethodi trećemu lakmus-ispitu suda. Taj ispit pročišćuje dva razreda štovatelja jednoga od drugoga, razdvajajući mudre i lude na temelju ulja, koje je poruka, ili, kako je sestra White utvrdila u svojem komentaru o sinagogi u Kafarnaumu — „riječi istine“.

Capernaum is where in John 6:66, Jesus lost the greatest number of disciples at one time, and those disciples never returned. As the largest test of discipleship in the time of Christ, Capernaum is a symbol of the omega test of discipleship in the time of Christ, which in turn would typify the omega test of discipleship in the three-step testing process that began in 2023. In Capernaum, the test was represented by the Bread of Heaven, and it identified the failure of the Jews in the context of their inability to understand prophecy, due to their unwillingness to accept that when Jesus’ spoke of natural things, it was to be understood in a spiritual application.

Kafarnaum je mjesto gdje je, u Ivanu 6,66, Isus odjednom izgubio najveći broj učenika, i ti se učenici više nikada nisu vratili. Kao najveća kušnja učeništva u Kristovo vrijeme, Kafarnaum je simbol omega-kušnje učeništva u Kristovo vrijeme, što pak predočava omega-kušnju učeništva u trostupanjskom procesu kušanja koji je započeo 2023. godine. U Kafarnaumu je kušnja bila predstavljena Kruhom s Neba, i ona je razotkrila neuspjeh Židova u kontekstu njihove nesposobnosti da razumiju proročanstvo, zbog njihove nespremnosti prihvatiti da se, kada je Isus govorio o naravnim stvarima, to treba razumjeti u duhovnoj primjeni.

We will continue these things in the next article.

Nastavit ćemo o tim stvarima u sljedećem članku.

> “Christ’s discourse in the synagogue concerning the bread of life was the turning point in the history of Judas. He heard the words, ‘Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you.’ John 6:53. He saw that Christ was offering spiritual rather than worldly good. He regarded himself as farsighted, and thought he could see that Jesus would have no honor, and that He could bestow no high position upon His followers. He determined not to unite himself so closely to Christ but that he could draw away. He would watch. And he did watch.

> „Kristov govor u sinagogi o kruhu života bio je prekretnica u povijesti Jude. Čuo je riječi: ‘Ako ne jedete tijela Sina Čovječjega i ne pijete krvi Njegove, nemate života u sebi.’ Ivan 6,53. Vidio je da Krist nudi duhovno, a ne svjetovno dobro. Smatrao je sebe dalekovidnim te je mislio da može vidjeti kako Isus neće imati časti i da svojim sljedbenicima ne može podariti nikakav visok položaj. Odlučio je da se neće tako tijesno sjediniti s Kristom a da se ne bi mogao odvojiti. Promatrat će. I promatrao je.“

> “From that time he expressed doubts that confused the disciples. …” The Desire of Ages, 719.

> „Od tada je izražavao sumnje koje su zbunjivale učenike. …” Isusov život, 719.

## First Test

Prvi test

> “The look that Jesus cast upon the selfish Judas convinced him that the Master had penetrated his hypocrisy, and read his base, contemptible character. This was a more direct reproof than Judas had before received. He was provoked by it, and thus a door was opened through which Satan entered to control his thoughts. Instead of repenting, he planned revenge. Stung by the knowledge of his sin, and provoked to madness because his guilt was known, he rose from the table, and went to the palace of the high priest, where he found the council assembled. He was imbued with the spirit of Satan, and acted like one bereft of reason. The reward promised for the betrayal of his Master was thirty pieces of silver; and for a far less sum than the box of ointment cost he sold the Savior.

> „Pogled koji je Isus uputio sebičnom Judi uvjerio ga je da je Učitelj proniknuo njegovu dvoličnost i pročitao njegov nizak, prezren karakter. To je bio izravniji prijekor nego što ga je Juda prije primio. To ga je izazvalo, i tako su se otvorila vrata kroz koja je Sotona ušao da zavlada njegovim mislima. Umjesto da se pokaje, smišljao je osvetu. Izboden spoznajom svojega grijeha i doveden do ludila zato što je njegova krivnja bila poznata, ustao je od stola i otišao u palaču velikoga svećenika, gdje je našao okupljeno Vijeće. Bio je prožet Sotoninim duhom i djelovao je poput čovjeka lišena razuma. Nagrada obećana za izdaju njegova Učitelja bila je trideset srebrnjaka; i za iznos daleko manji od cijene posudice pomasti prodao je Spasitelja.“

> “In spirit and practice many resemble Judas. As long as there is silence in regard to the plague-spot in their character, no open enmity is seen; but when they are reproved, bitterness fills their hearts.” Youth Instructor, July 12, 1900.

> „Po duhu i u praksi mnogi nalikuju Judi. Dokle god vlada šutnja u pogledu gubavoga mjesta u njihovu karakteru, ne vidi se nikakvo otvoreno neprijateljstvo; ali kada ih se ukori, gorčina ispuni njihova srca.” Youth Instructor, 12. srpnja 1900.

## The Second Test

Druga kušnja

> “Before the Passover Judas had met a second time with the priests and scribes, and had closed the contract to deliver Jesus into their hands. . . . Judas was now offended at Christ’s act in washing the feet of His disciples. If Jesus could so humble Himself, he thought, He could not be Israel’s king. All hope of worldly honor in a temporal kingdom was destroyed. Judas was satisfied that there was nothing to be gained by following Christ. After seeing Him degrade Himself, as he thought, he was confirmed in his purpose to disown Him, and confess himself deceived. He was possessed by a demon, and he resolved to complete the work he had agreed to do in betraying his Lord.” The Desire of Ages, 645.

> „Prije Pashe Juda se po drugi put sastao sa svećenicima i pismoznancima te je sklopio pogodbu da Isusa preda u njihove ruke.... Juda se sada sablaznio zbog Kristova čina pranja nogu svojim učenicima. Ako se Isus mogao tako poniziti, mislio je, nije mogao biti Izraelov kralj. Svaka nada u svjetovnu čast u vremenskom kraljevstvu bila je uništena. Juda je bio uvjeren da se slijeđenjem Krista nema što dobiti. Nakon što ga je vidio kako se, po njegovu mišljenju, ponižava, učvrstio se u svojoj namjeri da ga se odrekne i prizna kako je bio prevaren. Bio je opsjednut demonom i odlučio je dovršiti djelo koje je pristao učiniti izdajom svojega Gospodina.” Čežnja vjekova, 645.

## The Final Decision

Konačna odluka

> “In surprise and confusion at the exposure of his purpose, Judas rose hastily to leave the room. ‘Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. . . . He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.’ Night it was to the traitor as he turned away from Christ into the outer darkness.

> „U iznenađenju i zbunjenosti zbog razotkrivanja njegove namjere, Juda naglo ustade da napusti prostoriju. ‘Tada mu Isus reče: Što činiš, učini brzo.... On tada, primivši zalogaj, odmah iziđe; i bijaše noć.’ Noć bijaše za izdajnika dok se odvraćao od Krista u vanjsku tamu.“

> “Until this step was taken, Judas had not passed beyond the possibility of repentance. But when he left the presence of his Lord and his fellow disciples, the final decision had been made. He had passed the boundary line.

> „Sve dok taj korak nije bio poduzet, Juda nije bio prešao granicu izvan mogućnosti pokajanja. Ali kada je napustio prisutnost svojega Gospodina i svojih suučenika, konačna je odluka bila donesena. Prešao je graničnu crtu.“

> “Wonderful had been the long-suffering of Jesus in His dealing with this tempted soul. Nothing that could be done to save Judas had been left undone. After he had twice covenanted to betray his Lord, Jesus still gave him opportunity for repentance. By reading the secret purpose of the traitor’s heart, Christ gave to Judas the final, convincing evidence of His divinity. This was to the false disciple the last call to repentance. No appeal that the divine-human heart of Christ could make had been spared. The waves of mercy, beaten back by stubborn pride, returned in a stronger tide of subduing love. But although surprised and alarmed at the discovery of his guilt, Judas became only the more determined. From the sacramental supper he went out to complete the work of betrayal.

> „Čudesna bijaše Isusova dugotrpnost u njegovu postupanju s tom kušanom dušom. Ništa što se moglo učiniti da se Juda spasi nije ostalo neučinjeno. Nakon što se dvaput pogodio da izda svoga Gospodina, Isus mu je još uvijek pružao priliku za pokajanje. Čitajući tajnu namjeru u srcu izdajnika, Krist je Judi dao posljednji, uvjerljivi dokaz svoje božanske naravi. To je lažnom učeniku bio posljednji poziv na pokajanje. Nije izostao nijedan priziv koji je božansko-ljudsko Kristovo srce moglo uputiti. Valovi milosti, odbijeni tvrdokornom ohološću, vraćali su se u snažnijoj plimi pokoravajuće ljubavi. Ali premda zatečen i uznemiren otkrivanjem svoje krivnje, Juda je postao samo još odlučniji. Sa sakramentalne večere izišao je da dovrši djelo izdaje.“

> “In pronouncing the woe upon Judas, Christ also had a purpose of mercy toward His disciples. He thus gave them the crowning evidence of His Messiahship. ‘I tell you before it come,’ He said, ‘that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I AM.’ Had Jesus remained silent, in apparent ignorance of what was to come upon Him, the disciples might have thought that their Master had not divine foresight, and had been surprised and betrayed into the hands of the murderous mob. A year before, Jesus had told the disciples that He had chosen twelve, and that one was a devil. Now His words to Judas, showing that his treachery was fully known to his Master, would strengthen the faith of Christ’s true followers during His humiliation. And when Judas should have come to his dreadful end, they would remember the woe that Jesus had pronounced upon the betrayer.” The Desire of Ages, 653–655.

> „Izričući jao Judi, Krist je ujedno imao i nakanu milosrđa prema svojim učenicima. Time im je dao krunski dokaz svojega mesijanstva. ‘Kazujem vam prije negoli se zbude’, rekao je, ‘da, kad se zbude, uzvjerujete da JA JESAM.’ Da je Isus ostao nijem, naizgled ne znajući što će ga snaći, učenici su mogli pomisliti da njihov Učitelj nije imao božansku pronicavost i da je bio zatečen te izdan u ruke ubilačke svjetine. Godinu dana prije Isus je rekao učenicima da je izabrao dvanaestoricu i da je jedan đavao. Sada bi njegove riječi Judi, koje su pokazivale da je njegova izdaja bila potpuno poznata njegovu Učitelju, ojačale vjeru Kristovih pravih sljedbenika tijekom njegova poniženja. A kad Juda dođe svome strašnom svršetku, sjetit će se jaoa koji je Isus izrekao nad izdajnikom.” Čežnja vjekova, 653–655.
