It has been shown that the history of August 11, 1840 until October 22, 1844 is the history represented by the seven thunders which were sealed up until just before the close of probation. In this article I will begin by reviewing some of what we have identified about the symbolism of the seven thunders. We are using historical lines upon historical lines to present these truths. There are four prophetic waymarks from August 11, 1840 until and including October 22, 1844; the empowerment of the first angel’s message, the first disappointment, the Midnight Cry and the Great Disappointment.

Pokazano je da je povijest od 11. kolovoza 1840. do 22. listopada 1844. povijest predstavljena sa sedam gromova koji su bili zapečaćeni sve do neposredno prije završetka vremena milosti. U ovom ću članku započeti pregledom dijela onoga što smo utvrdili o simbolici sedam gromova. Služimo se povijesnim linijama na povijesnim linijama kako bismo izložili ove istine. Postoje četiri proročka orijentira od 11. kolovoza 1840. do, zaključno, 22. listopada 1844.; osnaženje poruke prvoga anđela, prvo razočaranje, Ponoćni poklik i Veliko razočaranje.

August 11, 1840 was typified by Moses at the burning bush. The first disappointment in the spring of 1844 was typified by the wife of Moses, Zipporah when she sorrowfully and fearfully circumcised their son. The Midnight Cry that began at the Exeter camp meeting from August 12–17 was typified by the arrival of Moses in Egypt and his initial warning about the death of Egypt’s firstborn. The Great Disappointment of October 22, 1844 was typified by the Hebrews at the Red Sea.

11. kolovoza 1840. bio je predočen Mojsijem kod gorućega grma. Prvo razočaranje u proljeće 1844. bilo je predočeno Mojsijevom ženom Seforom, kada je žalosno i sa strahom obrezala njihova sina. Ponoćni poklič, koji je započeo na taboru u Exeteru od 12. do 17. kolovoza, bio je predočen Mojsijevim dolaskom u Egipat i njegovim početnim upozorenjem o smrti egipatskih prvorođenaca. Veliko razočaranje 22. listopada 1844. bilo je predočeno Hebrejima kod Crvenoga mora.

In the time of King David August 11, 1840 was typified by the Philistines returning the ark of God. The first disappointment in the spring of 1844 was typified by Uzzah touching the ark of God. The Midnight Cry that began at the Exeter camp meeting from August 12–17 was typified by David bringing the ark into Jerusalem. The Great Disappointment of October 22, 1844 was typified by David’s wife Michal as she despised David for entering Jerusalem with the ark.

U vrijeme kralja Davida, 11. kolovoza 1840. bio je predočen Filistejcima koji vraćaju Kovčeg Božji. Prvo razočaranje u proljeće 1844. bilo je predočeno Uzzom koji je dotaknuo Kovčeg Božji. Ponoćni poklik koji je započeo na taborovanju u Exeteru od 12. do 17. kolovoza bio je predočen Davidom koji unosi Kovčeg u Jeruzalem. Veliko razočaranje od 22. listopada 1844. bilo je predočeno Davidovom ženom Mikalom, dok je prezirala Davida zbog njegova ulaska u Jeruzalem s Kovčegom.

August 11, 1840 was typified by the baptism of Christ. The first disappointment in the spring of 1844 was typified by the disappointment of Lazarus’ death. The Midnight Cry that began at the Exeter camp meeting from August 12–17 was typified by the Triumphal Entry of Christ into Jerusalem. The Great Disappointment of October 22, 1844 was typified by the disappointment of the cross.

11. kolovoza 1840. bio je predoznačen Kristovim krštenjem. Prvo razočaranje u proljeće 1844. bilo je predoznačeno razočaranjem zbog Lazarove smrti. Ponoćni poklič, koji je započeo na taborovanju u Exeteru od 12. do 17. kolovoza, bio je predoznačen Kristovim svečanim ulaskom u Jeruzalem. Veliko razočaranje od 22. listopada 1844. bilo je predoznačeno razočaranjem križa.

We have pointed out that these four waymarks, represent only a partial segment of the complete structure of every reformatory movement. We are identifying the four waymarks as witnesses of the history that began on September 11, 2001. One of the prophetic characteristics of each of the four lines, is that the waymarks in each line possess the same theme.

Istaknuli smo da ova četiri putokaza predstavljaju samo djelomičan odsječak cjelokupne strukture svakoga reformnog pokreta. Ova četiri putokaza prepoznajemo kao svjedoke povijesti koja je započela 11. rujna 2001. Jedno od proročkih obilježja svake od četiriju linija jest da putokazi u svakoj liniji posjeduju istu temu.

For Moses, all four of the waymarks addressed God’s work of entering into a covenant with a chosen people in fulfillment with the prophecy of Abraham. With King David’s reform line all four of the waymarks were associated with the ark of God. In Christ’s line all four of the waymarks were associated with death and resurrection.

Za Mojsija, sva četiri putokaza odnosila su se na Božje djelo stupanja u savez s izabranim narodom kao ispunjenje Abrahamova proročanstva. U reformnoj liniji kralja Davida sva četiri putokaza bila su povezana s Kovčegom Božjim. U Kristovoj liniji sva četiri putokaza bila su povezana sa smrću i uskrsnućem.

August 11, 1840 was a confirmation of the day for a year principle. The first disappointment in the spring of 1844 was caused by a failed application of the day for a year principle. Samuel Snow’s message of the Midnight Cry was the correction and a perfection of the failed application of the day for a year principle. The corrected message was based upon the day for a year principle and was fulfilled on October 22, 1844. All four waymarks are identifying the day for a year principle.

11. kolovoza 1840. bio je potvrda načela dan za godinu. Prvo razočaranje u proljeće 1844. bilo je uzrokovano pogrešnom primjenom načela dan za godinu. Poruka Samuela Snowa o Ponoćnom pokliku bila je ispravak i usavršavanje neuspjele primjene načela dan za godinu. Ispravljena poruka temeljila se na načelu dan za godinu i ispunila se 22. listopada 1844. Sva četiri međaša prepoznaju načelo dan za godinu.

Sister White informs us the seven thunders represent the events that transpired during the first and second angels’ messages; but she teaches that the seven thunders also represent “future events that will be disclosed in their order.” The seven thunders represent four prophetic events that began on August 11, 1840 and ended on October 22, 1844 and those four waymarks will be repeated in our history in the same order.

Sestra White obavještava nas da sedam gromova predstavlja događaje koji su se zbili tijekom poruka prvoga i drugoga anđela; ali ona uči da sedam gromova također predstavlja „buduće događaje koji će biti objavljeni svojim redom“. Sedam gromova predstavlja četiri proročka događaja koji su započeli 11. kolovoza 1840. i završili 22. listopada 1844., a ta će se četiri putokaza ponoviti u našoj povijesti istim redom.

September 11, 2001 was typified by August 11, 1840 and both of those dates are connected with Islam, thus tying the beginning of Adventism together with the end of Adventism. Both August 11, 1840 and September 11, 2001 were a confirmation of the primary prophetic rule of their respective histories.

11. rujna 2001. bilo je predoznačeno 11. kolovoza 1840., a oba su ta datuma povezana s islamom, povezujući tako početak adventizma sa završetkom adventizma. I 11. kolovoza 1840. i 11. rujna 2001. bili su potvrda primarnoga proročkog pravila svojih odgovarajućih povijesti.

On September 11, 2001, the angel of Revelation eighteen descended and on August 11, 1840 the angel of Revelation ten descended. The first disappointment of Future for America was a failed prediction concerning Islam on July 18, 2020. The message that is unsealed, as was the Midnight Cry at Exeter in the summer of 1844, is a correction of the failed prediction that had been previously given. For the Millerites the correction was in relation to the previously failed application of the day for a year principle identifying 1843 as the time of the Lord’s return. Today the correction which is represented by the Millerite Midnight Cry message must be a waymark that represents Islam, as the previous two waymarks were. The correction typified by the work of Samuel Snow was not to disregard the previous failed prediction, but to fine tune the prediction that had previously failed.

Dana 11. rujna 2001. sišao je anđeo iz osamnaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja, a 11. kolovoza 1840. sišao je anđeo iz desetog poglavlja Otkrivenja. Prvo razočaranje Future for America bilo je neuspjelo proročanstvo u vezi s islamom 18. srpnja 2020. Poruka koja je otpečaćena, kao što je bio Ponoćni poklič u Exeteru u ljeto 1844., ispravak je neuspjelog proročanstva koje je prethodno bilo dano. Za milerite je ispravak bio u vezi s prethodno pogrešnom primjenom načela dan za godinu, kojim je 1843. bila određena kao vrijeme Gospodnjeg povratka. Danas ispravak, koji je predstavljen mileritskom porukom Ponoćnog pokliča, mora biti orijentir koji predstavlja islam, kao što su to bila i prethodna dva orijentira. Ispravak predočen djelom Samuela Snowa nije bio da se zanemari prethodno neuspjelo proročanstvo, nego da se preciznije odredi proročanstvo koje je prethodno bilo neuspješno.

> “The disappointed ones saw from the Scriptures that they were in the tarrying time, and that they must patiently wait the fulfillment of the vision. The same evidence which led them to look for their Lord in 1843, led them to expect Him in 1844.” Early Writings, 247.

> „Razočarani su iz Svetoga pisma vidjeli da se nalaze u vremenu otezanja te da moraju strpljivo čekati ispunjenje viđenja. Isti dokazi koji su ih naveli da očekuju svojega Gospodina 1843. godine, naveli su ih da Ga očekuju i 1844.“ Rani spisi, 247.

Today the message that is typified by the message that came out of the Exeter camp meeting will be a perfection of the previously failed prediction. The Great Disappointment of Millerite history represents a great disappointment that takes place at the Sunday law, but it will be in the context of a prediction about Islam. Samuel Snow’s message was an identification of the exact date. It was the right date, but the wrong event. The message today represented by Snow’s message will be a message of Islam that is the perfection of the message that failed at the first disappointment of July 18, 2020.

Danas će poruka koju predočava poruka što je izašla s logorskog sastanka u Exeteru biti usavršenje prethodno neuspjelog predviđanja. Veliko razočaranje u mileritskoj povijesti predstavlja veliko razočaranje koje se zbiva pri zakonu o nedjelji, ali ono će biti u kontekstu predviđanja o islamu. Poruka Samuela Snowa bila je prepoznavanje točnog datuma. Bio je to ispravan datum, ali pogrešan događaj. Poruka danas, predstavljena Snowovom porukom, bit će poruka o islamu koja je usavršenje poruke koja je podbacila pri prvom razočaranju 18. srpnja 2020.

There are no times or dates involved now, for since October 22, 1844 time setting is no longer to be a part of God’s prophetic message.

Sada više nema nikakvih vremena ni datuma, jer od 22. listopada 1844. određivanje vremena više ne treba biti dio Božje proročke poruke.

> “The Lord has shown me that the message of the third angel must go, and be proclaimed to the scattered children of the Lord, and that it should not be hung on time; for time never will be a test again. I saw that some were getting a false excitement arising from preaching time; that the third angel’s message was stronger than time can be. I saw that this message can stand on its own foundation, and that it needs not time to strengthen it, and that it will go in mighty power, and do its work, and will be cut short in righteousness.” Experience and Views, 48, 49.

> „Gospodin mi je pokazao da poruka trećega anđela mora poći i biti objavljena raspršenoj djeci Gospodnjoj, te da ne smije biti vezana uz vrijeme; jer vrijeme više nikada neće biti kušnja. Vidjela sam da neki zapadaju u lažno uzbuđenje koje proizlazi iz propovijedanja vremena; da je poruka trećega anđela snažnija nego što vrijeme može biti. Vidjela sam da ta poruka može stajati na vlastitom temelju, i da joj vrijeme nije potrebno da je osnaži, te da će poći u silnoj sili, izvršiti svoje djelo i biti skraćena u pravednosti.” Experience and Views, 48, 49.

The fourth waymark of our history must be the Sunday law, for the sacred histories of all the reform lines added together line upon line, in conjunction with the inspired commentary of those histories through the Spirit of Prophecy are conclusive that the Sunday law is the fourth waymark after the mighty angel descends in our history. The fourth waymark in the history of the seven thunders that are “future events that will be disclosed in their order” must be connected with Islam, based upon the fact that the same theme always exists in the same four waymarks in every reformatory movement.

Četvrta prekretnica naše povijesti mora biti nedjeljni zakon, jer svete povijesti svih reformnih linija, uzete zajedno, redak na redak, u sprezi s nadahnutim komentarom tih povijesti po Duhu proroštva, nedvojbeno potvrđuju da je nedjeljni zakon četvrta prekretnica nakon što silni anđeo siđe u našoj povijesti. Četvrta prekretnica u povijesti sedam gromova, koji su „budući događaji koji će biti objavljeni svojim redom“, mora biti povezana s islamom, na temelju činjenice da ista tema uvijek postoji u iste četiri prekretnice u svakom reformnom pokretu.

Islam will be part of the prophetic events at the Sunday law for a second reason. Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah has specifically taken the history of these four events and defined them as a symbol unto themselves. That symbol is the seven thunders. There are other waymarks in every reformatory movement that exist both before and after the four waymarks that the Lion of the tribe of Judah specifies as the seven thunders. As a symbol unto themselves, the first waymark of the symbolic history containing these four waymarks represented the attack by Islam on the United States on September 11, 2001. The fact that Alpha and Omega identify the end with the beginning, establishes Islam at the Sunday law, for the first of those four waymarks was the attack of Islam on September 11, 2001, therefore the fourth and last waymark must also be an attack by Islam against the United States.

Islam će biti dio proročkih događaja pri zakonu o nedjelji iz još jednoga razloga. Isus, Lav iz plemena Judina, izričito je uzeo povijest tih četiriju događaja i odredio ih kao simbol samima sebi. Taj je simbol sedam gromova. U svakom reformatorskom pokretu postoje i druga obilježja koja se nalaze i prije i poslije četiriju obilježja koja Lav iz plemena Judina određuje kao sedam gromova. Kao simbol samima sebi, prvo obilježje simbolične povijesti koja sadrži ta četiri obilježja predstavljalo je napad islama na Sjedinjene Države 11. rujna 2001. godine. Činjenica da Alfa i Omega poistovjećuju svršetak s početkom uspostavlja islam pri zakonu o nedjelji, jer prvo od ta četiri obilježja bijaše napad islama 11. rujna 2001.; stoga i četvrto i posljednje obilježje također mora biti napad islama protiv Sjedinjenih Država.

It might very well be that the Sunday law is another attack by Islam on New York City, and that would answer as an end that is identified by the beginning, but at minimum it will be an attack by Islam as was the prediction of July 18, 2020.

Vrlo je moguće da je nedjeljni zakon još jedan islamski napad na grad New York, i to bi odgovaralo svršetku koji je prepoznat po početku; no u najmanju ruku bit će to napad islama, kao što je bilo predviđanje od 18. srpnja 2020.

We have also pointed out that the Alpha and Omega hid a history within those four histories. In fact, that hidden internal history is a primary revelation that is now being brought out in conjunction with the command to “seal not the sayings of the prophecy of the book of Revelation.” That hidden internal history is recognized when we see within the four waymarks that are represented by the seven thunders that there is a period within the four waymarks that begins with a disappointment and ends with a disappointment. From the arrival of the second angel until the arrival of the third in Millerite history is a specific history that represents a symbol unto itself. It begins with an angel’s message that must be eaten, thus marking the tarrying time in the parable of the ten virgins. It then identifies the Midnight Cry which is also a message that must be eaten and then leads to the arrival of the third message that must be eaten.

Također smo istaknuli da je Alfa i Omega unutar te četiri povijesti sakrio jednu povijest. Zapravo, ta skrivena unutarnja povijest jest primarno otkrivenje koje se sada iznosi u vezi sa zapovijedi da se „ne zapečate riječi proroštva knjige Otkrivenja”. Ta skrivena unutarnja povijest prepoznaje se kada unutar četiri putokaza, koji su predstavljeni sa sedam gromova, vidimo da postoji razdoblje unutar ta četiri putokaza koje započinje razočaranjem i završava razočaranjem. Od dolaska drugog anđela do dolaska trećega u mileritskoj povijesti postoji određena povijest koja predstavlja simbol sama po sebi. Ona započinje anđeoskom porukom koja se mora pojesti, označujući tako vrijeme odgode u prispodobi o deset djevica. Zatim prepoznaje Ponoćni poklič, koji je također poruka koja se mora pojesti, te potom vodi do dolaska treće poruke koja se mora pojesti.

The hidden internal line within the line of the seven thunders is confirmed prophetically not only by the beginning representing a disappointment, and an angel’s arrival and a message to eat, that is then repeated at the great disappointment, but it is also confirmed by the “truth.”

Skrivena unutarnja linija unutar linije sedam gromova proročki je potvrđena ne samo time što početak predstavlja razočaranje, te dolaskom anđela i porukom da se pojede, koja se zatim ponavlja pri velikom razočaranju, nego je potvrđena i „istinom”.

The Hebrew word “‘ĕmeṯ” that is translated as “truth” in the Old Testament was created by the wonderful linguist by using the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, followed by the thirteenth letter of the alphabet and then ending with the last letter of the alphabet to form the word translated as truth. We have shown that those letters represent the principle of the rule of first mention, the principle that identifies the end from the beginning. The first letter is the letter “alpha”. The middle letter is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and represents rebellion. The last letter is the last, the end, the omega. We have shown that these three letters represent the three steps of the everlasting gospel as confirmed by several prophetic lines.

Hebrejska riječ “‘ĕmeṯ”, koja se u Starome zavjetu prevodi kao “istina”, stvorena je od strane čudesnog jezikoslovca uporabom prvoga slova hebrejskoga alfabeta, zatim trinaestoga slova alfabeta, te završavajući posljednjim slovom alfabeta kako bi se oblikovala riječ prevedena kao istina. Pokazali smo da ta slova predstavljaju načelo pravila prvoga spominjanja, načelo koje od početka prepoznaje svršetak. Prvo slovo jest slovo “alfa”. Središnje slovo jest trinaesto slovo hebrejskoga alfabeta i predstavlja pobunu. Posljednje slovo jest posljednje, svršetak, omega. Pokazali smo da ta tri slova predstavljaju tri koraka vječnoga evanđelja, kako to potvrđuje nekoliko proročkih linija.

Those three letter’s meanings correspond to the meaning of each of the three angels’ messages. Those three letter’s meanings correspond to the purification process of the wise and wicked in Daniel twelve verse ten who are purified, made white and tried. The three Hebrew letters that were brought together to create the word “truth,” possess the signature of Alpha and Omega and the three steps which they identify in the first angel’s message, is called the everlasting gospel. The three steps represented by those letters also represent the work of the Holy Spirit as set forth in John sixteen.

Značenja tih triju slova odgovaraju značenju svake od poruka triju anđela. Značenja tih triju slova odgovaraju procesu pročišćenja mudrih i opakih u Danielu dvanaest, redak deset, koji se čiste, izbjeljuju i iskušavaju. Tri hebrejska slova koja su sjedinjena kako bi tvorila riječ „istina” nose pečat Alfe i Omege, a tri koraka koja ona prepoznaju u poruci prvoga anđela nazivaju se vječnim evanđeljem. Tri koraka predstavljena tim slovima također predstavljaju djelo Duha Svetoga kako je izloženo u Ivanu šesnaest.

> And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. John 16:8–11.

> I kad on dođe, osvjedočit će svijet o grijehu, i o pravednosti, i o sudu: o grijehu, jer ne vjeruju u mene; o pravednosti, jer idem k Ocu svojemu, i više me ne vidite; o sudu, jer je knez ovoga svijeta osuđen. Ivan 16,8–11.

The first disappointment is represented as sin, as illustrated by Moses, Uzzah, Mary and Martha, and the Millerites for as John sixteen describes the work of the Holy Spirit in convicting of “sin;” it was because “they believe not.” Each of the symbols we just cited represent the first disappointment, and each of their histories testify that the disappointment was caused by the sin of not believing something that had been previously revealed to them. The first step is the conviction of sin. The first step is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

Prvo razočaranje prikazano je kao grijeh, što je prikazano na primjeru Mojsija, Uze, Marije i Marte te milerita; jer, kako Ivan šesnaest opisuje djelovanje Duha Svetoga u osvjedočavanju o „grijehu“, to je bilo zato što „ne vjeruju“. Svaki od simbola koje smo upravo naveli predstavlja prvo razočaranje, a svaka od njihovih povijesti svjedoči da je razočaranje bilo prouzročeno grijehom nevjerovanja u nešto što im je prethodno bilo otkriveno. Prvi je korak osvjedočenje o grijehu. Prvi je korak prvo slovo hebrejske abecede.

The second waymark of the hidden history is righteousness, which is where the manifestation of the power of God is manifested in the righteousness of those carrying the Midnight Cry message. They manifest God’s righteousness at the conclusion of the tarrying time, for John sixteen says Christ went to his Father and they saw Christ no more. Christ had tarried in advance of the manifestation of righteousness. With the Millerites, when Christ removed His hand, the mistake was recognized. Then the content of the corrected message produced two classes of worshippers. One class manifested righteousness, for they had oil, and the other class manifested the rebellion represented by the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

Drugi putokaz skrivene povijesti jest pravednost, gdje se očitovanje Božje sile očituje u pravednosti onih koji nose poruku Ponoćnog pokliča. Oni očituju Božju pravednost na završetku vremena odgode, jer Ivan šesnaest kaže da je Krist otišao k svome Ocu i da Krista više nisu vidjeli. Krist je odgađao prije očitovanja pravednosti. Kod milerita, kada je Krist uklonio svoju ruku, pogreška je bila prepoznata. Tada je sadržaj ispravljene poruke proizveo dvije skupine štovatelja. Jedna je skupina očitovala pravednost, jer su imali ulja, a druga je skupina očitovala pobunu predstavljenu trinaestim slovom hebrejskoga alfabeta.

> “The anointed ones standing by the Lord of the whole earth, have the position once given to Satan as covering cherub. By the holy beings surrounding his throne, the Lord keeps up a constant communication with the inhabitants of the earth. The golden oil represents the grace with which God keeps the lamps of believers supplied, that they shall not flicker and go out. Were it not that this holy oil is poured from heaven in the messages of God’s Spirit, the agencies of evil would have entire control over men.

> „Pomazanici koji stoje pred Gospodinom sve zemlje imaju položaj nekoć dan Sotoni kao kerubinu zakriljujućem. Preko svetih bića koja okružuju njegovo prijestolje, Gospodin održava stalnu vezu sa stanovnicima zemlje. Zlatno ulje predstavlja milost kojom Bog neprestano opskrbljuje svjetiljke vjernika, da ne bi zatreperile i ugasnule. Kad se to sveto ulje ne bi izlijevalo s neba u porukama Božjega Duha, sile zla imale bi potpunu vlast nad ljudima.

> “God is dishonored when we do not receive the communications which he sends us. Thus we refuse the golden oil which he would pour into our souls to be communicated to those in darkness. When the call shall come, ‘Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him,’ those who have not received the holy oil, who have not cherished the grace of Christ in their hearts, will find, like the foolish virgins, that they are not ready to meet their Lord. They have not, in themselves, the power to obtain the oil, and their lives are wrecked. But if God’s Holy Spirit is asked for, if we plead, as did Moses, ‘Show me thy glory,’ the love of God will be shed abroad in our hearts. Through the golden pipes, the golden oil will be communicated to us. ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.’ By receiving the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness, God’s children shine as lights in the world.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.

> „Bogu se nanosi sramota kada ne primamo poruke koje nam šalje. Tako odbacujemo zlatno ulje koje bi on izlio u naše duše da bude preneseno onima koji su u tami. Kada dođe poziv: ‘Evo zaručnika, izlazite mu u susret’, oni koji nisu primili sveto ulje, koji nisu njegovali Kristovu milost u svojim srcima, uvidjet će, poput ludih djevica, da nisu spremni susresti svojega Gospodina. Oni u sebi nemaju snage pribaviti ulje, i njihovi su životi upropašteni. Ali ako se traži Božji Sveti Duh, ako usrdno molimo, kao što je Mojsije molio: ‘Pokaži mi slavu svoju’, Božja će se ljubav razliti u našim srcima. Kroz zlatne cijevi zlatno će ulje biti preneseno k nama. ‘Ne silom ni snagom, nego mojim Duhom, govori Jahve nad Vojskama.’ Primajući sjajne zrake Sunca pravednosti, Božja djeca sjaje kao svjetla u svijetu.” Review and Herald, July 20, 1897.

Take note that those who receive the message of the Midnight Cry have been typified by Moses in the cave of Horeb, pleading for God to show him His glory. Those two classes had finalized their characters before the Midnight Cry, during the tarrying time.

Zapazite da su oni koji prime poruku Ponoćnoga poklika prikazani u predslikama Mojsijem u špilji na Horebu, dok usrdno moli Boga da mu pokaže svoju slavu. Te su dvije skupine dovršile izgradnju svojega karaktera prije Ponoćnoga poklika, tijekom vremena zastoja.

> “We are now living in a most perilous time, and not one of us should be tardy in seeking a preparation for the coming of Christ. Let none follow the example of the foolish virgins, and think that it will be safe to wait until the crisis comes before gaining a preparation of character to stand in that time. It will be too late to seek for the righteousness of Christ when the guests are called in and examined. Now is the time to put on the righteousness of Christ,—the wedding garment that will fit you to enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb. In the parable, the foolish virgins are represented as begging for oil, and failing to receive it at their request. This is symbolic of those who have not prepared themselves by developing a character to stand in a time of crisis.” The Youth’s Instructor, January 16, 1896.

> „Sada živimo u krajnje pogibeljnom vremenu, i nitko od nas ne bi smio oklijevati u traženju priprave za Kristov dolazak. Neka nitko ne slijedi primjer ludih djevica i ne misli da će biti sigurno čekati dok kriza ne dođe prije nego što stekne pripravu karaktera da opstane u to vrijeme. Bit će prekasno tražiti Kristovu pravednost kada gosti budu pozvani unutra i pregledani. Sada je vrijeme da se zaodjenete Kristovom pravednošću — svadbenim ruhom koje će vas osposobiti da uđete na svadbenu gozbu Janjetovu. U prispodobi su lude djevice prikazane kako mole za ulje i ne uspijevaju ga dobiti na svoju molbu. To je simbol onih koji se nisu pripravili razvijanjem karaktera koji može opstati u vrijeme krize.” The Youth’s Instructor, January 16, 1896.

At the midnight cry one class had the necessary oil, and the other did not. The second step is the manifestation at the conclusion of the tarrying time of either righteousness or unrighteousness “because” the bridegroom went “to” his “Father, and ye see me no more.” The second step is the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The third step in the hidden history is judgment and the great disappointment and the last letter of the alphabet.

Na ponoćni poklik jedna je skupina imala potrebno ulje, a druga nije. Drugi je korak očitovanje na završetku vremena odgode bilo pravednosti bilo nepravednosti „jer” je zaručnik otišao „k” svome „Ocu, i više me ne vidite”. Drugi je korak trinaesto slovo hebrejskoga alfabeta. Treći je korak u skrivenoj povijesti sud, veliko razočaranje i posljednje slovo alfabeta.

The hidden history within the seven thunders is testified to by the word “truth,” by the beginning disappointment identifying the last disappointment, by an angel arriving with a message at the beginning and end. The hidden history will only be recognized by those who have accepted the rules of Bible study that have been given by the highest authority. Miller’s rules in the beginning and Prophetic Keys at the end.

Skrivena povijest unutar sedam gromova posvjedočena je riječju „istina”, početnim razočaranjem koje prepoznaje posljednje razočaranje, te anđelom koji dolazi s porukom na početku i na kraju. Skrivena će povijest biti prepoznata samo od onih koji su prihvatili pravila proučavanja Biblije koja su dana od najviše vlasti. Millerova pravila na početku i Proročki ključevi na kraju.

With the history of the seven thunders, as we have just set forth, there is an emphasis that should be repeated and remembered. The first disappointment in every reform line is a disregard of previously established truth. Moses forgot to circumcise his son, though it was the very symbol of the Covenant that Abraham’s prophecy was identifying. Uzzah forgot that only the priesthood could touch the ark. Mary and Elizabeth give testimony in the story of Lazarus that they previously knew of Christ’s resurrection power. When the 1843 chart was produced the leaders (peer pressure) leaned upon Father Miller to disregard what he had always said about the year 1843. They insisted he change his established testimony that allowed for wiggle room unto the date of 1843 as their prediction of the fulfillment of the twenty-three hundred days. Miller’s testimony identifies that peer pressure brought by the other leaders in the movement led him to drop his vague identification of the fulfillment of the date for the fulfillment of the prophecy and state directly that it would be fulfilled in 1843.

U povijesti o sedam gromova, kako smo je upravo izložili, nalazi se naglasak koji valja ponoviti i upamtiti. Prvo razočaranje u svakoj reformskoj liniji jest zanemarivanje prethodno utvrđene istine. Mojsije je zaboravio obrezati svoga sina, premda je to bio upravo simbol Saveza koji je Abrahamovo proročanstvo prepoznavalo. Uza je zaboravio da samo svećenstvo smije dotaknuti Kovčeg. Marija i Elizabeta svjedoče u izvještaju o Lazaru da su otprije znale za Kristovu silu uskrsnuća. Kada je izrađena karta iz 1843., vođe su se (pritisak vršnjaka) oslonili na oca Millera kako bi zanemario ono što je oduvijek govorio o godini 1843. Ustrajali su da promijeni svoje već utvrđeno svjedočanstvo, koje je ostavljalo prostor za odstupanje u pogledu datuma 1843. kao njihova predviđanja ispunjenja dvije tisuće i tristo dana. Millerovo svjedočanstvo pokazuje da ga je pritisak vršnjaka, koji su vršile druge vođe u pokretu, naveo da napusti svoje neodređeno određivanje datuma ispunjenja proročanstva i izravno izjavi da će se ono ispuniti 1843.

With Future for America, we knew that there was never to be another message “hung upon time.” Future for America had repeatedly taught that fact throughout the history of the movement. The first disappointment is always premised upon a disregard of an established testing truth. It was a sinful disregard of a truth, but more significantly it was a sinful disregard of the primary rule of William Miller, which had been specifically identified as ending in 1844.

Službom Future for America znali smo da više nikada ne smije biti druge poruke „obješene o vrijeme“. Future for America je tu činjenicu opetovano naučavao tijekom cijele povijesti pokreta. Prvo razočaranje uvijek se temelji na zanemarivanju već uspostavljene istine kušnje. Bilo je to grešno zanemarivanje istine, ali još značajnije, bilo je to grešno zanemarivanje primarnog pravila Williama Millera, za koje je bilo izričito utvrđeno da završava 1844.

> And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer. Revelation 10:5, 6.

> I anđeo kojega vidjeh gdje stoji na moru i na zemlji podiže svoju ruku k nebu, i zakle se Onim koji živi u vijeke vjekova, koji stvori nebo i što je u njemu, i zemlju i što je na njoj, i more i što je u njemu, da vremena više neće biti. Otkrivenje 10,5.6.

The angel that stood upon the land and sea according to Sister White was “no less a personage than Jesus Christ.” Future for America disregarded a direct command from Jesus Christ! Personally, I have only interacted with a handful of persons that I was associated with before July 18, 2020. Only two of those few persons, and one of those two is now sleeping in Jesus have I studied with and tested what was coming from God’s Word concerning the experience of July 18, 2020. But based upon Millerite history, which is the beginning of which we are the end, I am certain that there are still those that were in the movement at that time, that are still producing applications of prophecy that are “hung upon time.” There is nothing new under the sun.

Anđeo koji je stajao na kopnu i moru, prema sestri White, bio je „nitko manji od Isusa Krista”. Future for America zanemarila je izravnu zapovijed Isusa Krista! Osobno sam bio u doticaju samo s nekolicinom osoba s kojima sam bio povezan prije 18. srpnja 2020. Samo sam s dvjema od tih malobrojnih osoba — a jedna od te dvije sada spava u Isusu — proučavao i ispitao ono što je iz Božje riječi dolazilo u vezi s iskustvom od 18. srpnja 2020. No, na temelju mileritske povijesti, koja je početak čiji smo mi svršetak, siguran sam da još uvijek ima onih koji su tada bili u pokretu, a koji još uvijek iznose primjene proročanstva koje su „obješene o vrijeme”. Nema ništa novo pod suncem.

Time is much too short to continue with that type of prophetic excitement, but let each man be fully persuaded in his own mind. And let each of the men that takes a position on the side that is still playing with time that Future for America rejects all of those applications, for they are nothing less than satanic delusions.

Vrijeme je odviše kratko da bismo nastavili s tom vrstom proročkog uzbuđenja, ali neka svaki čovjek bude potpuno uvjeren u vlastitome umu. I neka svaki od ljudi koji zauzima stav na strani koja se još uvijek poigrava vremenom zna da Future for America odbacuje sve te primjene, jer one nisu ništa drugo doli sotonske zablude.

The internal hidden prophetic line within the four waymarks that make up the seven thunders is what is now being unsealed by the Lion of the tribe of Judah. This article has simply been a review of what we have stated about the Hebrew word “‘ĕmeṯ” that is translated as truth. It did not touch all that we have previously shared but the purpose of the review is to demonstrate that John chapter sixteen verse eight absolutely agrees with the prophetic model we are proposing for the hidden internal prophetic line within the seven thunders.

Unutarnja skrivena proročka linija unutar četiriju putokaza koji sačinjavaju sedam gromova jest ono što sada razotkriva Lav iz plemena Judina. Ovaj je članak jednostavno bio osvrt na ono što smo iznijeli o hebrejskoj riječi „‘ĕmeṯ“, koja se prevodi kao istina. Nije obuhvatio sve što smo prethodno podijelili, ali svrha ovoga osvrta jest pokazati da se Ivan 16,8 potpuno slaže s proročkim modelom koji predlažemo za skrivenu unutarnju proročku liniju unutar sedam gromova.

There is still a little more review necessary before we reach a conclusion that we will take up in the next article.

Još je potrebno nešto dodatnog osvrta prije nego što dođemo do zaključka kojim ćemo se pozabaviti u sljedećem članku.

> Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand: He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Revelation 22:10–13.

> Ne zapečati riječi proroštva ove knjige, jer je vrijeme blizu: tko je nepravedan, neka i dalje čini nepravdu; i tko je nečist, neka i dalje bude nečist; i tko je pravedan, neka i dalje čini pravdu; i tko je svet, neka i dalje bude svet. I evo, dolazim brzo; i plaća moja sa mnom je, da dam svakomu po djelu njegovu. Ja sam Alfa i Omega, početak i svršetak, prvi i posljednji. Otkrivenje 22:10–13.
