Daniel was touched three times in chapter ten, the first and last time by Gabriel and the middle touch was by Christ. It was the middle touch where Daniel most keenly felt his corruption, for the middle waymark of truth represents rebellion. It was Michael who touched Daniel the second time, for He had descended at the end of twenty-one days.

Danijel je bio dotaknut tri puta u desetom poglavlju, prvi i posljednji put od Gabriela, a srednji dodir bio je od Krista. Upravo je pri tom srednjem dodiru Danijel najdublje osjetio svoju iskvarenost, jer srednji putokaz istine predstavlja pobunu. Mihael je bio taj koji je dotaknuo Danijela drugi put, jer je sišao na kraju dvadeset i jednog dana.

At the end of three and a half symbolic days, in which the two witnesses of Revelation chapter eleven lie dead in the street, a voice resurrects the two witnesses. It is the voice of the archangel that resurrects. The descent of Michael in Daniel chapter ten, at the twenty-second day aligns with the resurrection of the two witnesses in 2023. While the two witnesses were dead in the street, Ezekiel was shown their scattered bones and asked if he thought those dead dry bones in the valley could be resurrected, and all Ezekiel would answer is, “Lord thou knowest.”

Na svršetku triju i pol simboličnih dana, tijekom kojih dva svjedoka iz jedanaestog poglavlja Otkrivenja leže mrtva na ulici, glas uskrišava ta dva svjedoka. To je glas arkanđelov koji uskrišava. Silazak Mihaela u desetom poglavlju Danielove knjige, dvadeset drugoga dana, podudara se s uskrsnućem dvaju svjedoka 2023. godine. Dok su dva svjedoka ležala mrtva na ulici, Ezekielu su bile pokazane njihove raspršene kosti te je bio upitan misli li da te mrtve, suhe kosti u dolini mogu uskrsnuti, a sve što je Ezekiel odgovorio bilo je: „Gospodine, ti znaš.”

Ezekiel was then told to prophesy to the bones, which he did, and when he did, they were formed together, but were still not alive. Ezekiel’s first prophecy was gathering the bones together, but it would require a second prophecy to resurrect the bones as an army. The second prophecy of Ezekiel was the prophecy of the third woe, as represented by the four winds that brought the bones to life. The first Adam was created perfect, but afterwards sinned and passed death on to all his posterity. The resurrection of Ezekiel’s dead bones parallels the creation of Adam in his perfection, for Adam was first formed, and then the Lord breathed into him the breath of life.

Ezekielu je tada bilo rečeno da prorokuje kostima, što je i učinio, i kad je to učinio, one su se sastavile, ali još uvijek nisu bile žive. Ezekielovo prvo proročanstvo bilo je sabiranje kostiju, ali bit će potrebno drugo proročanstvo da bi kosti uskrsnule kao vojska. Drugo Ezekielovo proročanstvo bilo je proročanstvo trećega jao, kako je predočeno četirima vjetrovima koji su oživjeli kosti. Prvi Adam bio je stvoren savršen, ali je potom sagriješio i prenio smrt na sve svoje potomstvo. Uskrsnuće Ezekielovih mrtvih kostiju usporedno je sa stvaranjem Adama u njegovu savršenstvu, jer je Adam najprije bio oblikovan, a zatim je Gospod u njega udahnuo dah života.

This is not to say that the two witnesses receive glorified bodies when they are brought back to life, for that doesn’t occur until the second coming, but their resurrection parallel’s Daniel’s vision of the causative “marah” vision, when they are changed into the image they then behold. Line upon line, the process of the sealing is very carefully laid out by the prophetic testimony.

To ne znači da dva svjedoka primaju proslavljena tijela kada bivaju vraćeni u život, jer se to ne zbiva sve do drugoga dolaska, nego njihovo uskrsnuće odgovara Danielovu viđenju uzročnoga viđenja „marah“, kada bivaju preobraženi u obličje koje tada promatraju. Redak po redak, proročansko svjedočanstvo vrlo pomno izlaže proces pečaćenja.

In Revelation chapter eleven, “after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered” into the two witnesses, “and they” then “stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them,” and there was then “a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.”

U jedanaestom poglavlju Otkrivenja, „nakon tri dana i pol Duh života od Boga uđe” u dva svjedoka, „i oni” tada „stadoše na svoje noge; i velik strah obuze one koji ih gledahu”, a potom se začu „jak glas s neba koji im govoraše: Uziđite ovamo. I uzađoše na nebo u oblaku; i njihovi ih neprijatelji promatraše.”

First, the Spirit entered into them, then they stood upon their feet, and when they stood, fear fell upon their enemies who had previously rejoiced over their deaths. Then a voice calls them up, and their enemies witness the event. With Ezekiel, they are first identified as scattered and dead in the valley, then a prophecy is proclaimed that gathers them together, then the second prophecy causes them to stand up as a mighty army. With Daniel, he first sees the great vision that produces a separation of two classes, and he is then touched three times.

Najprije je Duh ušao u njih, zatim su stali na svoje noge, a kad su stali, strah je obuzeo njihove neprijatelje koji su se prije radovali njihovoj smrti. Tada ih glas poziva gore, a njihovi neprijatelji svjedoče tomu događaju. Kod Ezekiela su najprije prepoznati kao raspršeni i mrtvi u dolini, zatim je objavljeno proročanstvo koje ih sabire, a potom drugo proročanstvo uzrokuje da ustanu kao silna vojska. Kod Daniela on najprije vidi veliko viđenje koje proizvodi razdvajanje dviju skupina, a zatim ga se dotiče tri puta.

The first time he was touched he had no strength, he was in a deep sleep, and his face was towards the ground. Sleep represents death. Yet he heard the words spoken.

Kad je prvi put bio dotaknut, nije imao snage, bio je u duboku snu, a lice mu je bilo okrenuto prema zemlji. San predstavlja smrt. Ipak je čuo izgovorene riječi.

> Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice. John 5:28.

> Ne čudite se tomu: jer dolazi čas u koji će svi koji su u grobovima čuti njegov glas. Ivan 5,28.

Gabriel then brought Daniel to his hands and knees, and then commanded him to stand, which he did, though he was trembling. He then heard the words of Gabriel, but he was left dumb. Ezekiel had also seen the vision of Christ and it produced a similar sequence of events.

Gabriel je zatim doveo Daniela na njegove ruke i koljena, a potom mu zapovjedio da ustane, što je i učinio, premda je drhtao. Tada je čuo Gabrielove riječi, ali je ostao nijem. Ezekiel je također vidio Kristovo viđenje, i ono je proizvelo sličan slijed događaja.

> And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. Ezekiel 1:26–2:2.

> A nad svodom što bijaše nad njihovim glavama bijaše obličje prijestolja, kao pojava kamena safira; a na obličju prijestolja bijaše obličje kao pojava čovjeka odozgo na njemu. I vidjeh kao boju jantara, kao pojavu ognja unaokolo unutar njega, od pojave njegovih bokova naviše; a od pojave njegovih bokova naniže vidjeh kao pojavu ognja, i bijaše sjaj unaokolo. Kao pojava duge što je u oblaku u dan kiše, takva bijaše pojava sjaja unaokolo. To bijaše pojava obličja slave Gospodnje. A kad to vidjeh, padoh ničice, i začuh glas onoga koji govoraše. I reče mi: Sine čovječji, stani na svoje noge, i govorit ću s tobom. I duh uđe u me kad mi govoraše, i postavi me na moje noge, te čuh onoga koji mi govoraše. Ezekiel 1:26–2:2.

The vision caused both Ezekiel and Daniel to be humbled into dust, where they were prostrated upon the ground. In that condition they both still heard the word of the Lord, and they were both brought to a standing condition to hear the words that were spoken to them, and when they heard the words “the Spirit entered into” them. The combination of divinity is accomplished by the reception of the Word of God that is conveyed by the Holy Spirit. The “Word” is what transmits divinity into humanity. This truth must be recognized in order to understand the seriousness and significance of the prophetic history which Gabriel provides Daniel with in chapter eleven. The prophetic history represented in chapter eleven, is the conduit by which holy oil is conveyed to the wise virgins.

Viđenje je i Ezekiela i Daniela ponizilo do praha, tako da su ničice pali na zemlju. U takvu su stanju obojica još uvijek čula riječ Gospodnju, i obojica su bila podignuta na noge da čuju riječi koje su im bile izgovorene, a kada su čuli te riječi, „Duh uđe u“ njih. Sjedinjenje božanskoga ostvaruje se primanjem Riječi Božje koja se prenosi po Svetome Duhu. „Riječ“ je ono što prenosi božanstvenost u čovještvo. Ova se istina mora prepoznati kako bi se razumjela ozbiljnost i značenje proročke povijesti koju Gabrijel iznosi Danielu u jedanaestom poglavlju. Proročka povijest prikazana u jedanaestom poglavlju jest provodnik kojim se sveto ulje prenosi mudrim djevicama.

With Ezekiel, he is immediately instructed that he is to present a message to Laodicean Adventism, though Ezekiel is informed from the outset that Laodicean Adventism will not hear his words, for they are a rebellious house. Ezekiel’s experience is Isaiah’s experience in chapter six, and therefore upon two witnesses when God awakens Daniel from sleep, which is a symbol of death, Daniel is given a message for the rebellious house of Laodicean Adventism, but they will not hear.

Kod Ezekiela mu je odmah dano uputstvo da iznese poruku laodicejskom adventizmu, premda je Ezekiel od samoga početka obaviješten da laodicejski adventizam neće poslušati njegove riječi, jer su oni dom buntovnički. Ezekielovo iskustvo jest Izaijino iskustvo u šestom poglavlju, i stoga na temelju dvaju svjedoka, kada Bog budi Daniela iz sna, koji je simbol smrti, Danielu se daje poruka za buntovnički dom laodicejskog adventizma, ali oni neće poslušati.

Daniel is then touched a second time, by Christ Himself, who touches Daniel’s lips, just as he had touched Isaiah’s lips with a coal from the altar. Then Daniel could speak, but he was still without strength, and still had no breath. According to Ezekiel the breath comes with the message of the “four winds”, which was Ezekiel’s second prophecy. Ezekiel’s prophecy of the four winds aligns with Daniel’s third touch, for it is then that breath comes into the bones and they stand as a mighty army. It is in Daniel’s third touch that he is strengthened.

Zatim Daniela drugi put dotiče sam Krist, koji dotiče Danielove usne, kao što je dotaknuo Izaijine usne užarenim ugljenom sa žrtvenika. Tada je Daniel mogao govoriti, ali je još uvijek bio bez snage i još uvijek nije imao daha. Prema Ezekielu, dah dolazi s porukom o „četiri vjetra”, koja je bila Ezekielovo drugo proročanstvo. Ezekielovo proročanstvo o četiri vjetra podudara se s Danielovim trećim dodirom, jer tada dah ulazi u kosti i one ustaju kao silna vojska. U Danielovu trećem dodiru on biva osnažen.

On July 18, 2020, God’s last-day people were scattered and entered into the tarrying time of the parable. The history of the sealing was illustrated in the history of October 22, 1844, unto the rebellion of 1863. The line of history there represented overlays with September 11, 2001, unto the Sunday law, but it also overlays with the history of July 18, 2020, unto the Sunday law. This prophetic phenomenon is based upon the fact that symbols have more than one meaning, and the meaning is to be determined by the context where they are applied.

Dana 18. srpnja 2020. Božji narod posljednjih dana bio je raspršen i ušao je u vrijeme odgađanja iz prispodobe. Povijest pečaćenja bila je prikazana u povijesti od 22. listopada 1844. do pobune 1863. Ondje predstavljena povijesna linija preklapa se s razdobljem od 11. rujna 2001. do zakona o nedjelji, ali se također preklapa i s poviješću od 18. srpnja 2020. do zakona o nedjelji. Taj se proročki fenomen temelji na činjenici da simboli imaju više od jednoga značenja, a značenje se određuje kontekstom u kojemu se primjenjuju.

When we consider the arrival and work of any of the three angels they are governed by the same sequence of events. They arrive at the point when the prediction associated with them is unsealed. That prediction is structured upon three steps. Its arrival, its empowerment and the closed door at its end. There are other waymarks within the history, but the three testing waymarks of the arrival of any of the three angels is the first waymark where a prophecy is unsealed. The message that is unsealed is empowered through a confirmation, and that confirmation and empowerment then tests the men and women of that history. The conclusion of the history produces a litmus test which demonstrates whether those standing at the third test are wise or foolish.

Kada razmatramo dolazak i djelo bilo kojega od trojice anđela, njima upravlja isti slijed događaja. Oni dolaze u trenutku kada se zapečaćeno proročanstvo povezano s njima otpečaćuje. To je proročanstvo ustrojeno na tri koraka: njegov dolazak, njegovo osnaženje i zatvorena vrata na njegovu kraju. Unutar te povijesti postoje i drugi međaši, ali tri kušajuća međaša dolaska bilo kojega od trojice anđela jesu: prvi međaš, na kojemu se neko proročanstvo otpečaćuje; poruka koja je otpečaćena biva osnažena putem potvrde; a ta potvrda i osnaženje potom iskušavaju muškarce i žene te povijesti. Zaključak te povijesti donosi lakmus-test koji pokazuje jesu li oni koji stoje na trećoj probi mudri ili ludi.

Within the history of September 11, 2001 unto the Sunday law you can identify three angels. The first arrived on September 11, 2001, the second arrived on July 18, 2020, and the third arrives at the soon coming Sunday law (the litmus test). October 22, 1844 aligns with September 11, 2001, and 1856 aligns with July 18, 2020, and 1863 aligns with the Sunday law. That being said, October 22, 1844 to 1863 also aligns with July 18, 2020, unto the Sunday law, for July 18 was the arrival of the second angel of the history of the sealing. The following history is still correctly identified as simply the waymarks of any angel.

Unutar povijesti od 11. rujna 2001. do zakona o nedjelji mogu se prepoznati tri anđela. Prvi je došao 11. rujna 2001., drugi je došao 18. srpnja 2020., a treći dolazi s uskoro nadolazećim zakonom o nedjelji (lakmus-testom). 22. listopada 1844. podudara se s 11. rujna 2001., a 1856. podudara se s 18. srpnja 2020., a 1863. podudara se sa zakonom o nedjelji. Uz to, 22. listopada 1844. do 1863. također se podudara s razdobljem od 18. srpnja 2020. do zakona o nedjelji, jer je 18. srpnja bio dolazak drugoga anđela u povijesti pečaćenja. Sljedeća se povijest još uvijek ispravno prepoznaje jednostavno kao putokazi bilo kojega anđela.

On July 18, 2020, there was a truth unsealed that was to test that generation. The second step in that history is when the two witnesses are resurrected. They are then tested as to whether they will accept the light then revealed, which is going on now. Then at the Sunday law (the litmus test), it will be revealed who is and who isn’t a wise virgin. When we consider the history as simply the structure of a singular angel and then lay October 22, 1844, through to the rebellion of 1863, over the history of July 18, 2020 unto the Sunday law, we find that in 1849, Sister White identified that the Lord had stretched forth His hand again to gather the remnant of His people.

Dana 18. srpnja 2020. bila je otpečaćena istina koja je trebala iskušati taj naraštaj. Drugi korak u toj povijesti jest kada su dva svjedoka uskrsnuta. Tada se oni iskušavaju hoće li prihvatiti tada otkrivenu svjetlost, što se događa sada. Zatim će se kod nedjeljnog zakona (lakmus-probe) otkriti tko jest, a tko nije mudra djevica. Kada tu povijest promatramo jednostavno kao strukturu jednoga jedinog anđela te potom razdoblje od 22. listopada 1844. do pobune 1863. položimo preko povijesti od 18. srpnja 2020. do nedjeljnog zakona, nalazimo da je 1849. sestra White ustvrdila da je Gospod ponovno ispružio svoju ruku da sabere ostatak svoga naroda.

From October 22, 1844 to 1849, God’s people had been scattered. In 1850 they produced the second of the two tables of Habakkuk. In January of 1851 they were advertising the new chart in the Review. God’s people were scattered, and the third angel arrived with light. Then God began to gather them again, and He then provided a visual representation of the message they were to proclaim, as He had done in 1842. The light that arrived on October 22, 1844 was an increase of knowledge and it continued, under His direction to develop, and in 1856 the capstone of that light was introduced. That light was upon the “seven times,” which was the first light recognized by William Miller, and which was represented as one of the prophecies that was fulfilled on October 22, 1844.

Od 22. listopada 1844. do 1849. Božji je narod bio raspršen. Godine 1850. izradili su drugu od dviju Habakukovih tablica. U siječnju 1851. oglašavali su novi prikaz u Reviewu. Božji je narod bio raspršen, a treći je anđeo došao sa svjetlom. Tada ih je Bog ponovno počeo sabirati, i zatim im je dao vizualni prikaz poruke koju su trebali objavljivati, kao što je učinio 1842. godine. Svjetlo koje je došlo 22. listopada 1844. bilo je umnoženje spoznaje i ono se, pod Njegovim vodstvom, nastavilo razvijati, a 1856. uveden je završni kamen toga svjetla. To je svjetlo bilo o „sedam vremena“, koje je bilo prvo svjetlo što ga je William Miller prepoznao i koje je bilo prikazano kao jedno od proročanstava ispunjenih 22. listopada 1844.

The light of the “seven times,” in 1856, was both the ending of the increase of knowledge given to Miller, the messenger of the first angel, but it was also the ending light of the third angel that was given on October 22, 1844. The rejection of the light in 1856, was both a rejection of the increase of knowledge that was unsealed in 1798, but also the increase of knowledge that was unsealed on October 22, 1844, and it was rejected by those who then and there transitioned from the experience of Philadelphia unto the experience of Laodicea. The rebellion of 1863, was the third, and litmus test, which was demonstrated by a counterfeit chart that removed the light of the “seven times.”

Svjetlo o „sedam vremena”, godine 1856., bilo je i završno svjetlo porasta spoznaje dano Milleru, glasniku prvoga anđela, ali je bilo i završno svjetlo trećega anđela koje je dano 22. listopada 1844. Odbacivanje svjetla godine 1856. bilo je i odbacivanje porasta spoznaje koja je bila otpečaćena 1798., ali i porasta spoznaje koja je bila otpečaćena 22. listopada 1844.; a odbacili su je oni koji su tada i ondje prešli iz iskustva Filadelfije u iskustvo Laodiceje. Pobuna 1863. bila je treća, i lakmus-proba, što je bilo pokazano krivotvorenom kartom koja je uklonila svjetlo o „sedam vremena”.

The first disappointment of April 19, 1844, was brought upon the Philadelphian movement of the first angel by God holding His hand over a mistake in some of the figures on the 1843 pioneer chart. The first disappointment of July 18, 2020, was brought upon the Laodicean movement of the third angel by men disregarding that on October 22, 1844, Christ had lifted up His hand to heaven and swore that time should be no longer. On July 18, 2020, a message was unsealed that was to test this generation of virgins. As in 1850, the Lord in 2023, stretched out His hand a second time to gather together Ezekiel’s dead bones that had been dead in the street since July 18, 2020. By 1851, there was a new visual representation of the message that was a fulfillment of the prophecy of Habakkuk chapter two, thus identifying that after 2023, the Lord will have a new living ensign to lift up that is typified by Habakkuk’s two tables.

Prvo razočaranje od 19. travnja 1844. navukao je Bog na filadelfijski pokret prvoga anđela, držeći svoju ruku nad pogreškom u nekim brojkama na pionirskoj karti iz 1843. godine. Prvo razočaranje od 18. srpnja 2020. navukli su ljudi na laodicejski pokret trećega anđela time što su zanemarili da je 22. listopada 1844. Krist podigao svoju ruku k nebu i zakleo se da vremena više neće biti. Dana 18. srpnja 2020. bila je otpečaćena poruka koja je trebala iskušati ovaj naraštaj djevica. Kao 1850., Gospodin je 2023. po drugi put pružio svoju ruku da sabere Ezekielove mrtve kosti koje su ležale mrtve na ulici od 18. srpnja 2020. Do 1851. postojalo je novo vizualno predstavljanje poruke koje je bilo ispunjenje proročanstva iz drugoga poglavlja Habakuka, čime se prepoznaje da će nakon 2023. Gospodin imati novu živu zastavu koju će podići, a koja je predočena Habakukovim dvjema pločama.

Habakkuk’s two tables were typified by the two tables of the Ten Commandments and also by the two wave loaves in the feast of Pentecost. The one hundred and forty-four thousand are identified as a first-fruit offering, and they are those in Malachi that represent the offering as “in days of old, as in former years.” They are lifted up as a wave offering that all the world will see.

Habakukove dvije ploče bile su predočene dvjema pločama Deset zapovijedi, a također i dvama kruhovima za prikazivanje u Blagdanu Pedesetnice. Sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće prepoznati su kao prinos prvina, i oni su oni u Malahiji koji predstavljaju prinos „kao u dane davnine, kao u prijašnje godine”. Uzdižu se kao prikaznica da ih sav svijet vidi.

The awakening of the one hundred and forty-four thousand begins with the gathering together, and that gathering is accomplished by the Word of God, for Ezekiel’s dead bones are gathered by hearing the Word of God, while they are still dead. Ezekiel represents the human instrument that proclaims the message that gathers the bones, when the Lord stretches forth His hand a second time to gather His remnant. Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel, John and Ezekiel all identify the human element that conveys the divine message to the dead dry bones.

Buđenje sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće započinje sabiranjem, a to se sabiranje ostvaruje Riječju Božjom, jer su Ezekielove mrtve kosti sabrane slušanjem Riječi Božje, dok su još mrtve. Ezekiel predstavlja ljudsko oruđe koje objavljuje poruku što sabire kosti, kada Gospod po drugi put pruža svoju ruku da sabere svoj Ostatak. Izaija, Jeremija, Daniel, Ivan i Ezekiel svi prepoznaju ljudski čimbenik koji prenosi božansku poruku mrtvim suhim kostima.

Once the bones are gathered the Lord reveals the increase of knowledge that is unsealed just before probation closes, and that knowledge is represented by “that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days.” In Ezekiel’s second prophecy, the light that is unsealed is the third woe, which is the message of the east wind that breathes life into the bones and causatively causes them to stand as a mighty army. The light that is revealed to Daniel is the light represented by the king of the north in chapter eleven. Together Ezekiel and Daniel represent “that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days,” which is the tidings of the (east) wind and king of the (north).

Kad su kosti sabrane, Gospodin otkriva umnoženje spoznaje koje je zapečaćeno sve do neposredno prije završetka vremena milosti, a to je znanje prikazano kao „onaj dio Danielova proročanstva koji se odnosi na posljednje dane“. U Ezekielovu drugom proročanstvu svjetlo koje se otpečaćuje jest treće jao, odnosno poruka istočnog vjetra koji udahnjuje život kostima i uzročno čini da one stanu kao silna vojska. Svjetlo koje se otkriva Danielu jest svjetlo prikazano kraljem sjevera u jedanaestom poglavlju. Zajedno Ezekiel i Daniel predstavljaju „onaj dio Danielova proročanstva koji se odnosi na posljednje dane“, a to su vijesti o (istočnom) vjetru i kralju (sjevera).

> But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. Daniel 11:44.

> Ali će ga uznemiriti vijesti s istoka i sa sjevera; stoga će izaći s velikim gnjevom da zatire i da potpuno istrijebi mnoge. Daniel 11,44.

In 1856, the Lord purposed to finish His work of sealing his people, but they rebelled. The message He intended to employ to bring them out of their Laodicean condition was the “seven times” of Leviticus twenty-six. When the Lord began to gather His people in July, 2023, He presented them once again with the message of the “seven times,” and among other things, identified that on the antitypical Day of Atonement the Jubilee trumpet was to sound, which is also when the seventh trumpet was also to sound. The Jubilee trumpet is a symbol of the “seven times,” and the seventh trumpet is the third woe. When Michael descended in Daniel chapter ten. Daniel represented those who obtain the experience of those who pray the prayer of Leviticus twenty-six, and those who seek to understand the prophetic secret of Daniel chapter two.

Godine 1856. Gospodin je nakanio dovršiti svoje djelo pečaćenja svoga naroda, ali oni su se pobunili. Poruka kojom ih je namjeravao izvesti iz njihova laodicejskog stanja bila su „sedam vremena” iz Levitskog zakonika dvadeset i šest. Kada je Gospodin počeo okupljati svoj narod u srpnju 2023., ponovno im je iznio poruku o „sedam vremena” te, između ostaloga, utvrdio da je na antitipski Dan pomirenja trebala zatrubiti jubilejska truba, a to je ujedno i vrijeme kada je trebala zatrubiti sedma truba. Jubilejska truba simbol je „sedam vremena”, a sedma truba treće je jao. Kada je Mihael sišao u desetom poglavlju Danielove knjige, Daniel je predstavljao one koji zadobivaju iskustvo onih koji mole molitvu iz Levitskog zakonika dvadeset i šest, i one koji nastoje razumjeti proročku tajnu drugoga poglavlja Danielove knjige.

Daniel represents those who have been gathered by the voice of God, and then stand upon their feet strengthened to proclaim the message of the east and the north. They proclaim that message until the soon coming Sunday law. The process of raising up that army is a very detailed subject of prophecy, and the point when Divinity begins to be combined with humanity in fulfillment with the sealing of the one hundred and forty-four thousand began in the history that is represented in verse eleven of Daniel eleven. The history represented from verse one of Daniel eleven until verse sixteen fills up the hidden history of verse forty, that is “that portion of the prophecy of Daniel relating to the last days.”

Danijel predstavlja one koje je sabrao Božji glas, a koji zatim ustaju na svoje noge, osnaženi da objavljuju poruku istoka i sjevera. Oni objavljuju tu poruku sve do uskoro dolazećega zakona o nedjelji. Proces podizanja te vojske vrlo je razrađena tema proročanstva, a trenutak kada se božanstvo počinje sjedinjavati s čovještvom u ispunjenju pečaćenja sto četrdeset i četiri tisuće započeo je u povijesti koja je prikazana u jedanaestom retku jedanaestoga poglavlja Daniela. Povijest prikazana od prvoga retka jedanaestoga poglavlja Daniela do šesnaestoga retka ispunjava skrivenu povijest četrdesetoga retka, to jest „onaj dio Danielova proročanstva koji se odnosi na posljednje dane“.

As we begin to consider verses thirteen to fifteen of Daniel eleven, that was first fulfilled at the Battle of Panium in 200 BC, it is essential to understand the significance of these verses. Panium is the third of three proxy wars. The first battle concluded with victory for the papacy and its proxy army the United States in 1989. The next battle, represented by verses eleven and twelve, which was fulfilled by the Battle of Raphia, the king of the south (Russia), will defeat the king of the north and its proxy army in the Ukraine. The third battle will be as the first with the papacy (the king of the north) prevailing over Communism (the United Nations), with its proxy army (the United States). But the third proxy war which is the Battle of Panium, will also initiate World War III.

Dok počinjemo razmatrati retke trinaest do petnaest u jedanaestom poglavlju Daniela, koji su se prvi put ispunili u Bitki kod Panija 200. pr. Kr., nužno je razumjeti značenje tih redaka. Panij je treći od triju posredničkih ratova. Prva bitka završila je pobjedom papinstva i njegove posredničke vojske, Sjedinjenih Država, 1989. godine. Sljedeća bitka, predstavljena recima jedanaestim i dvanaestim, koja se ispunila Bitkom kod Rafije, bit će takva da će kralj juga (Rusija) poraziti kralja sjevera i njegovu posredničku vojsku u Ukrajini. Treća će bitka biti kao i prva, pri čemu će papinstvo (kralj sjevera), sa svojom posredničkom vojskom (Sjedinjenim Državama), nadvladati komunizam (Ujedinjene narode). No treći posrednički rat, koji je Bitka kod Panija, također će pokrenuti Treći svjetski rat.

> “As the wheel like complications were under the guidance of the hand beneath the wings of the cherubim, so the complicated play of human events is under divine control. Amidst the strife and tumult of nations, He that sitteth above the cherubim still guides the affairs of the earth.

> „Kao što su zamršene kretnje kotača bile pod vodstvom ruke ispod krila kerubina, tako je i zamršeni tijek ljudskih zbivanja pod božanskim nadzorom. Usred sukoba i meteža naroda, Onaj koji sjedi nad kerubinima još uvijek upravlja poslovima zemlje.״

> “The history of nations that one after another have occupied their allotted time and place, unconsciously witnessing to the truth of which they themselves knew not the meaning, speaks to us. To every nation and to every individual of today God has assigned a place in His great plan. Today men and nations are being measured by the plummet in the hand of Him who makes no mistake. All are by their own choice deciding their destiny, and God is overruling all for the accomplishment of His purposes.

> „Povijest naroda koji su jedan za drugim zauzimali svoje određeno vrijeme i mjesto, nesvjesno svjedočeći za istinu čije značenje sami nisu poznavali, govori nam. Svakom narodu i svakom pojedincu današnjice Bog je odredio mjesto u svojem velikom planu. Danas se ljudi i narodi mjere viskom u ruci Onoga koji ne griješi. Svi vlastitim izborom određuju svoju sudbinu, a Bog svime upravlja radi ostvarenja svojih namjera.

> “The history which the great I AM has marked out in His word, uniting link after link in the prophetic chain, from eternity in the past to eternity in the future, tells us where we are today in the procession of the ages, and what may be expected in the time to come. All that prophecy has foretold as coming to pass, until the present time, has been traced on the pages of history, and we may be assured that all which is yet to come will be fulfilled in its order.

> „Povijest koju je veliki JA JESAM označio u svojoj Riječi, povezujući kariku za karikom u proročkom lancu, od vječnosti u prošlosti do vječnosti u budućnosti, govori nam gdje se danas nalazimo u slijedu vjekova i što se može očekivati u vremenu koje dolazi. Sve što je proroštvo proreklo da će se zbiti, sve do sadašnjega vremena, ocrtano je na stranicama povijesti, i možemo biti sigurni da će se sve što tek ima doći ispuniti svojim redom.“

> “The final overthrow of all earthly dominions is plainly foretold in the word of truth. In the prophecy uttered when sentence from God was pronounced upon the last king of Israel is given the message:

> „Konačno obaranje svih zemaljskih kraljevstava jasno je prorečeno u riječi istine. U proročanstvu izrečenom kada je od Boga bila proglašena presuda nad posljednjim kraljem Izraela dana je poruka:

> “‘Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: … exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it Him.’ Ezekiel 21:26, 27.

> „Ovako govori Gospodin Bog: Ukloni mitru i skini krunu: … uzvisi onoga koji je nizak, a ponizi onoga koji je visok. Izvrnut ću, izvrnut ću, izvrnut ću to; i toga više neće biti, dok ne dođe Onaj kome to po pravu pripada; i dat ću mu to.“ Ezekiel 21:26, 27.

> “The crown removed from Israel passed successively to the kingdoms of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome. God says, ‘It shall be no more, until He come whose right it is; and I will give it Him.’

> „Kruna uklonjena s Izraela redom je prelazila na kraljevstva Babilona, Medo-Perzije, Grčke i Rima. Bog kaže: ‘Neće je više biti, dok ne dođe Onaj kojemu po pravu pripada; i dat ću mu je.’“

> “That time is at hand. Today the signs of the times declare that we are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Everything in our world is in agitation. Before our eyes is fulfilling the Saviour’s prophecy of the events to precede His coming: ‘Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars…. Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.’ Matthew 24:6, 7.

> „To je vrijeme blizu. Danas znakovi vremena objavljuju da stojimo na pragu velikih i svečanih događaja. Sve je u našem svijetu u previranju. Pred našim se očima ispunjava Spasiteljevo proročanstvo o događajima koji će prethoditi Njegovu dolasku: ‘Čut ćete za ratove i glasove o ratovima…. Ustat će narod protiv naroda i kraljevstvo protiv kraljevstva; i bit će gladi, pošasti i potresa po raznim mjestima.’ Matej 24:6, 7.“

> “The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the strained, restless relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place—that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.

> „Sadašnjost je vrijeme od presudnoga zanimanja za sve žive. Vladari i državnici, ljudi koji zauzimaju položaje povjerenja i vlasti, misaoni muškarci i žene svih staleža, upravljaju svoju pozornost na zbivanja koja se odvijaju oko nas. Oni promatraju napete, nemirne odnose koji vladaju među narodima. Uočavaju silinu koja obuzima svaki zemaljski element i prepoznaju da se sprema nešto veliko i odlučujuće — da se svijet nalazi na rubu goleme krize.״

> “Angels are now restraining the winds of strife, that they may not blow until the world shall be warned of its coming doom; but a storm is gathering, ready to burst upon the earth; and when God shall bid His angels loose the winds, there will be such a scene of strife as no pen can picture.

> „Anđeli sada zadržavaju vjetrove razdora, da ne zapušu dok svijet ne bude upozoren na svoju nadolazeću propast; ali se sprema oluja, spremna da se obruši na zemlju; i kada Bog zapovjedi svojim anđelima da puste vjetrove, nastat će takav prizor sukoba kakav nikakvo pero ne može opisati.

> “The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things. Here are revealed the great final scenes in the history of our world, events that already are casting their shadows before, the sound of their approach causing the earth to tremble and men’s hearts to fail them for fear.

> „Biblija, i samo Biblija, daje ispravan pogled na ove stvari. Ovdje su otkriveni veliki završni prizori u povijesti našega svijeta, događaji koji već bacaju svoje sjene unaprijed, a zvuk njihova približavanja čini da zemlja drhti i da ljudska srca klonu od straha.״

> “‘“Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof…. They have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate…. The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.’ Isaiah 24:1–18.

> “‘“Evo, Jahve pustoši zemlju i opustošuje je, izvrće joj lice i raspršuje njezine stanovnike…. Prekršili su zakone, izmijenili odredbu, raskinuli vječni savez. Zato je prokletstvo proždrlo zemlju i stanovnici njezini snose kaznu…. Prestaje veselje bubnjeva, utihnu buka onih koji se raduju, prestaje radost citre.” Izaija 24,1–18.

> “‘“Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come…. The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.’ ‘The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.’ Joel 1:15–18, 12.

> „‘Jao toga dana! jer je blizu Dan Gospodnji, i doći će kao propast od Svemogućega…. Sjeme je istrunulo pod svojim grudama, spremišta su opustošena, žitnice su porušene; jer je žito usahnulo. Kako uzdišu životinje! krda goveda smetena su, jer nemaju paše; da, i stada ovaca ostavljena su pustoši.’ ‘Vinova loza se osušila, i smokva vene; nar, i palma također, i jabuka, baš sva stabla poljska, usahnula su: jer je radost usahnula od sinova čovječjih.’ Joel 1,15–18.12.

> “‘I am pained at my very heart; … I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war. Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled.’

> „Muči me samo moje srce; … ne mogu šutjeti, jer si čula, dušo moja, glas trube, uzbunu rata. Propast za propašću viče se; jer je sva zemlja opustošena.”

> “‘I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down.’ Jeremiah 4:19, 20, 23–26.

> „Pogledah zemlju, i gle, bijaše pusta i prazna; i nebesa, i na njima ne bijaše svjetlosti. Pogledah gore, i gle, tresahu se, i svi se humovi ljuljahu. Pogledah, i gle, ne bijaše čovjeka, i sve ptice nebeske bijahu odletjele. Pogledah, i gle, plodno mjesto bijaše pustinja, i svi njegovi gradovi bijahu razvaljeni.“ Jeremija 4:19, 20, 23–26.

> “‘Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.’ Jeremiah 30:7.” Education, 178–181.

> „Jao! Jer onaj je dan velik, takva nema nijednoga: to je vrijeme tjeskobe Jakovljeve; ali će se izbaviti iz nje.“ Jeremija 30,7. Odgoj, 178–181.
